CrosssAbove Syntax

[alabell]

This should be a pretty easy one.

At the bottom of the post is the help content for CrossAbove or CrossBelow. I am using it to create dynamic Stop Losses that update based on a few parameters.

Using the first Syntax listed below, the following should work:

Syntax

CrossAbove(IDataSeries series1, double value, int lookBackPeriod)

or in my case, here is a toy version of my code:

double stopPrice2 = 75.00
CrossAbove(Closes[2][0], stopPrice2, 10)


This syntax generates the following errors:

The best overloaded method match for 'NinjaTrader.Strategy.StrategyBase.CrossAbove(doub le, NinjaTrader.Data.IDataSeries, int)' has some invalid arguments


Argument '2': cannot convert from 'double' to 'NinjaTrader.Data.IDataSeries'

Any thoughts here?

Andrew

This method returns true if a cross above condition occured; otherwise, false.


Syntax
CrossAbove(IDataSeries series1, double value, int lookBackPeriod)
CrossAbove(IDataSeries series1, IDataSeries series2, int lookBackPeriod)
 

Parameters

lookBackPeriod
 Number of bars back to check the cross above condition
 
series1 & series2
 Any DataSeries type object such as an indicator, Close, High, Low, etc...
 
value
 Any double value
 

 

 

Examples

// Go short if CCI crossed above 250 within the last bar
if (CrossAbove(CCI(14), 250, 1))
    EnterShort();

 

// Go long if 10 EMA crosses above 20 EMA within the last bar
if (CrossAbove(EMA(10), EMA(20), 1))
    EnterLong();

 

// Go long we have an up bar and the 10 EMA crosses above 20 EMA within the last 5 bars
if (Close[0] > Open[0] && CrossAbove(EMA(10), EMA(20), 5))
    EnterLong();

Hello Andrew,
Closes[2][0] will return a double and not a data series. Please try using the below code and see if you are able to compile the code.

CrossAbove(Closes[2], stopPrice2, 10)

[alabell]

Of course. I dont even have to check.

I feel silly.

TY again Joydeep.

Regards,

Andrew

Edit: And yes, of course it worked

Ty too Koganam, any thoughts on the other "project"?
