RE: How to enter on stratagy paint bar?

Sorry I'm pretty new to automation...

I have several indicators like scalper, TC_Trending that I would like to add to my strategies but when I try using them in the strategy wizard using indicator == TRUE (ie when a scalper paint bar is signaled or when trending is long or short) I get the error message'

""Return type of left expression 'Scalper' and the right expression 'boolean' do not match.
You need to select a different item.""

All i want is the strategy to buy and sell when an indicator is triggered (ie scalper paint bar or trending goes long or short)

Thanks so much

HI joshuaw8,

To setup an action based on the indicator, you will need to set up a specific condition for the indicator, for example, when the indicator equals or crosses over a specific value.
