coding

[babouin77]

hello
I am trying to code a simple thing and any help is appreciated. I am trying to subtract EMA 8 from 13...

I want to code:

s2 = EMA 8 - EMA 13

Buy when s2 cross above 0
sell when s2 cross below 0

i know it is simple but i cant figure it out neither in strategy builder not in coding. any help in appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Hello babouin77,

Thanks for your question.

I have created a video demonstration to explain how this would be done.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

one more question, If I want to use it on a range chart how can I do that? I have the chart on range 20 I do not see historical trades... if I change the chart to 5 min for example, I see the trades... any idea?

I am trying to convert this from TOS to NT8...


def s2 = MovAvgExponential(close, 8) - MovAvgExponential(close, 13);

plot line = s2;
plot ZeroLine = 0;

line.AssignValueColor(if s2 <= 0 then Color.RED else Color.GREEN);

AssignPriceColor(if s2 <= 0 then Color.RED else Color.GREEN);

Alert(s2 crosses above ZeroLine, "Cross above 0", Alert.BAR, Sound.Ring);
Alert(s2 crosses below ZeroLine, "Cross below 0", Alert.BAR, Sound.Bell);


AddOrder(OrderType.BUY_AUTO, s2 crosses above ZeroLine, tickcolor = GetColor(1), arrowcolor = GetColor(1), name = "LE");
AddOrder(OrderType.SELL_AUTO, s2 crosses below ZeroLine, tickcolor = GetColor(2), arrowcolor = GetColor(2), name = "SE");

but it only works on range charts good and not on the minute chart.. any trick I need to do to make it show on range in NT8 the solution you gave me?

[babouin77]

Hello babouin77,

Please be sure to open new questions as new threads. (This helps to keep threads organized and easier for readers to find resolutions or answers to questions.)

Could you clarify if there is anything withstanding from your original inquiry that would need to be addressed?

If there is something that needs attention from your second inquiry, please open a new thread and include a link to this thread so our forum moderators can delete the unrelated posts.

I look forward to assisting.
