MACD Histogram Spread Falling Rising - Previous Bar

[Master.Aurora]

Hello Support,

I need to use the MACD histogram falling & rising phenomenons in my strategy. Here is what i am doing:

if(Falling(MACD(10, 15, 5)))
{
    //Logic
}

This will calculate the MACD from the current bar. What i need is to be able to check it on the previously closed bar, or on the bar before that. How can i achieve this?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Hello Umer,

Thanks for your note.

The Falling() method only checks that the current value of the dataseries is lower than the bar 1 bar ago.

This means you could do the same check using bars ago.

For example:

if (MACD(10, 15, 5)[1] < MACD(10, 15, 5)[2])
{
// execute code
}

This will check if the MACD was falling on the previous bar.

Below is a link to the help guide on Falling().
