Hi guys can you tell me how I get the EMA to stay at the place, where I want to enter a trade at?

Hello Carlito178,

Thank you for your post.

I'm not sure what you mean by "get the EMA to stay at the place where I want to enter a trade at". Can you be more specific about the behavior you want to see? An EMA will change with each bar based on the period over which is it calculated so I'm a bit confused what you're asking.

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Hello Carlito178,

As Kate mentions, the EMA will move with each bar. However, setting the EMA to calculate OnBarClose instead of OnTickChange may help with your case. This keeps the EMA set until the current bar closes and starts the next one. Again this depends on how fast the bars are being updated.

OnBarClose, that's it, thank you very much.
