need a little something different

I am actually looking for code that creates order when price crosses "X" sma and not "x" sma crossing "y" sma. Is that available somewhere?

Thanks so much!
Julian

Hello,

This would be the same logic used as the example, you would just change what the comparison is for.

For example, instead of comparing two sma's like this:

if (CrossAbove(SMA(Fast), SMA(Slow), 1))

you could replace the sma on the Left with a close series or:

if (CrossAbove(Close,SMA(Fast)))

If you look in the help guide at CrossAbove you can see the additional ways it can be used, this applies to all NinjaScript items in the help guide. http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...sub=CrossAbove

Close is a DataSeries which is what this would take, you can also supply a double value if needed to CrossAbove.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
