Price trending above/below de EMA

[Stanfillirenfro]

Hello!
I am trying to build a strategy, but I am missing a function. To be clear, I want enter the position when the price is trending above oder below the EMA. I have tried CrossAbove()/CrossBelow(), but it is not what I need.
Could someone help and just tell me which function I should use? The price has already crossed above/below the EMA and not just crossing.

Best regrads,

Stan.

Hello Stanfillirenfro,

Thanks for your post.

What means are you using to determine if the price is trending above or below the moving average?

Can you post a screenshot that illustrates what you want to accomplish?

Hallo Paul!
Thanks for your reply.
I have the price trending above the EMA on the chart. (see picture).
I want to make a code such as:

if(Price.Above(EMA)
{
xxxxx
}

But such function does not exist in Ninja Trader.
Is there an appropriate function?

Best regards,

Stan

Hello Stanfillirenfro,

Thanks for your reply.

I don't see anything that would provide a signal that the price is trending above the moving average.

You can check to see if any of the price types are greater than the moving average, for example:

if (Close[0] > EMA(8)[0]) // did the bars close above the moving average
{
// do something
}
