CrossAbove()

[Sameer]

Hi,

CrossAbove(EMA(10), EMA(20), 1)

Checks for a cross above condition over the specified bar look back period.

But I want to check Cross above for the current bar. Not for the look back period.

Thanks

Hi Sameer,

Thank you for posting.

Unfortunately, you would not be able to use the CrossBelow and CrossAbove to check the current bar. You will need to have a minimum of 1 or greater in order to work.


Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Just I read this thread........

For the simulator, are you running that strategy on Calculate On Bar Close set to True or False? In real-time, if you want the strategy to enter the position at the point these two values cross, you would need to run on COBC = false. When set to true, the strategy will not take action until that condition is true and the next bar has closed.

Hi Sameer,

Thanks for the update.

Apologies.

This is correct when trying to use the CrossAbove and CrossBelow. You will need to have a minimum of 1.
