Help with Strategy Wizard question

[paco99]

I am trying to use the strategy builder wizard to accomplish the following:

SMA= SMA of last 20 bars

if (SMA > SMA[1]) then buy at (SMA + AverageTrueRange(of last 20 bars))

if (SMA < SMA[1]) then sell at (SMA - AverageTrueRange(of last 20 bars))



Can this be done using the wizard? I can't get it to work.
If it can't be done with the wizard, can you reply with the code?


Thanks!

99% possible with the wizard. You just can't tell your limit order to be SMA(14)[0] + ATR(20)[0].

if (SMA(14)[0] > SMA(14)[1])
           EnterLongLimit(DefaultQuantity, (SMA(14)[0] + ATR(20)[0]), "");

Now that I have a long position entered, I want to be able to close it when:

The price hits the SMA(20). How can I do that?

Thanks!

The same way as you entered. Create your exit condition from an if statement and then exit your position with ExitLong().

if (Close[0] > SMA(20)[0])
     ExitLong();
