Help with coding Moving average differences

[zphinx]

Hello everyone,

Thanks for all your support on here, its really appreciated for a newbie.

How do I code the difference between two simple moving averages as the offset function doesn't really work and the trades are just triggered on the close of the cross-over and not the difference between the two SMA's

For example, I want to trigger a LONG trade if the difference between an SMA(5) and SMA(20) is >10 points and reverse if the difference is negative 10 pts.

I had a go at the coding but kept getting errors due to my lack of C# skills.

If anyone out here can help, I can keep the grey hairs at bay!

cheers,

Leonie

See the following image for the condition where you would EnterLong(), to EnterShort(), just change to "<" and change "10" to "-10".
