sma crossover strategy

[Wi!s0n]

I have created a simple moving average crossover strategy in the strategy wizard, but now I want to add a condition to it based on a 3rd slower sma? For example if the crossover is below the 3rd slower sma, I want to wait to enter until price closes beyond this 3rd ma and add a marker there. Thanks.

Wilson,

When a crossover occurs, this would mean that both series are equal at one point. I would suggest just adding a condition for "if one of the sma's are below your third sma".

I did this in the wizard as I don't know programming. At what screen/point can I do this in the wizard? Thanks Adam.

You can do it from the conditions and actions step.

Assuming you're using SMAs....

# Set 1
# Add
# Indicators
# SMA
# Set the period or use the variable you defined earlier for the Fast MA
# in the middle column set CrossesAbove
# in the right column set SMA
# Set the period or use the variable you defined earlier for the Slow MA
# OK

Now you have your fast MA crossing over the Slow MA. To make sure that the crossover is above the Confirmation MA:

# Add
# Indicators
# SMA
# Set the period for Fast MA
# in the middle column set Greater Than
# in the right column set SMA
# Set the period or use the variable you defined earlier for the confirmation MA
# OK

And do the same thing for the Slow MA to make sure that it is also above the Confirmation MA.
