Bar Low vs EMA

[Ludwik]

I have an issue with indicator showing bars not at the right position vs 21 EMA.
Here is a piece of code:

                && (((Low[0] < (EMA(21)[0])) && ((high1 > ema1)

Just to let you know it happened yesterday at around 9:36 Eastern Time on ES futures contract.

Indicator supposed to show only bars which are below 21 EMA for short (red circle) but the bar's low (red circle) is clearly at 21 EMA where it supposed to be below 21 EMA.
Could you please help me and let me know how should I correct the code?

Hello Ludwik,

Thank you for your note.

It's pretty difficult to tell whether that Low price is actually below the EMA price. The first thing I would suggest would be to print the values of Low[0] and EMA(21)[0] along with the Time[0] value for each bar to confirm whether the low of that bar was below or not.

This forum post goes into great detail on how to use prints to help figure out where issues may stem from — this should get you going in the correct direction. You can even add these using the Strategy Builder.
