simple strategy to enter at CCI cross +45/-45

[kumaresh11]

This is to make a simple strategy to enter Long when CCI cross a certain value like +45 or vice versa for -45. I believe this code will enter Long when CCI crosses zero? sorry guys I am brand new to coding, so need some help.
Any help is appreciated

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Condition set 1
if (CrossAbove(Close, CCI(14), 1))
{
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");
}

// Condition set 2
if (CrossBelow(Close, CCI(14), 1))
{
EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "");
}
}

Hello,

You would need to make this change:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Condition set 1
if (CrossAbove(45, CCI(14), 1))
{
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");
}

// Condition set 2
if (CrossBelow(-45, CCI(14), 1))
{
EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "");
}
}

thks Brett. but when i run strategy wizard, don't I need to choose Price close in left side when i choose CCI in right side?

Hello,

This is correct. This is camparing the current price will cross above or below the current CCI value. Which is not what you want.

You need to use Misc -> Numberic Value

Brett - sorry, am not clear. which side should I choose
Misc -> Numberic Value
choose CCI in both sides, then give Misc -> Numberic Value in right side of CCI value?

Hello,

Use CCI only on the one side and then the numeric value on ther other side.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
