How to Determine Most Recent %d Crossover %k

[jsanders]

I am attempting to write a script to determine the following:

1. If current bar MA(20) crosses under price
2. Was most recent Stochastic %d crossover %k or was most recent %d crossunder %k

I tried looking at the MRO function, but am unable to get it to work.

Thank you,
Jeff

Hello,

The MRO should do what you're looking for if you're just looking for the last time this occurred.

Can you post what you tried working with MRO and the results you were getting that did not work? Is your strategy perhaps a mutli-series script?

Thank you. I've gotten it to work, but how do I offset it.

For example, the MA(20) crosses below the closing price on the current bar. I want to find out the previous time that the MA(20) crossed below the closing price.

This gives me zero:
int barsAgoMA = MRO(delegate {return CrossBelow(SMA(MA),Close,1);},1,Count);

It is finding the current bar and returning 0. I want it to start 1 bar prior to the current bar.

Thank you,
Jeff

Jeff,

If you're running this on CalculateOnBarClose = true, it will start 1 bar prior to the current bar. It will then wait for that bar to close to reevaluate the condition.

Ok. Thank you!
