Selecting long or short with auEMA indicator

[mmenigma]

Hi all, I want to use the auEMA indicator modified by @Rayco in a strategy builder strategy I'm working on and am having the following issues with it.

I originally used auEMA in an Alert. And when creating the Alert I have the option of selecting which indicator plot I want to use as the alert. I select Trend = 1 or -1 and it sends me an Alert when then trend is long (1) or short (-1). See the image here for the selection.



When I add the auEMA indicator to a strategy in Strategy Builder, there is no way to select which indicator plot I want to use and simply doing auEMA = -1 or 1 does not work as a condition. Here is what it looks like in Strategy Builder. As you can see, there is no way here to select Trend vs EMA.



I'm not sure how to fix this so the indicator functions the same way it does when creating an Alert.
I am not a coder so I'm unable to fix the code myself. I tried fixing it using AI (ChatGPT and others) but was unsuccessful. Hopefully @Rayco will see this and provide some guidance.

Thanks Mitch

Hello,

We kindly ask that users refrain from posting multiple topics about the same inquiry. You are currently being assisted on this inquiry in the following post:

As mentioned in that post, something in the code likely needs to be fixed. You can either choose to resolve this yourself with our assistance or reach out to the developer.

I'm sorry Gaby. In this post I did reach out to the developer rayko and I am thinking there may be others here who may offer the guidance I need. Simply pointing me to the coding examples did not provide the answers I need as I am not a very good coder. As I explained, I tried several things that did not work and I need more help than you originaly provided. I thought this post better explained the isssue than the one you originally responded too. I still don't understand why I can make it work with an Alert and not in Strategy Builder.
