Did not Cross Below / Above in the past X bars

[YakusaTrader]

I'd like to create a strategy where Value of indicator 1 should NOT cross above Value of indicator 2 in the past X bars.

Example
if !(CrossBelow(EMA(10), EMA(20), 10)) // will return a crossing that might've occurred during e.g. the 7th last bar. This condition is still true, since it didn't cross Below in one of the bars.

What I'd to do is: make sure no crossing occurred during the past 10 bars.
Is there a way to achieve this ?

Thanks a lot!

Hello YakusaTrader,

Thanks for your post.

You can save the current bar number at the time of the crossover and then compare the current bar number to see if it has been within the last 10 bars. You can make use of the system's CurrentBar which is a bar counter for this, reference: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...currentbar.htm
For example, assume you have created an int variable called lastCrossBar.

if (CrossBelow(EMA(10), EMA(20), 1))
{
lastCrossBar = CurrentBar; //save the bar number where the cross occured.
}

if (your entry conditions && CurrentBar - lastCrossBar > 10)
{
// do something
}

Alternatively, you might consider using the MRO() method: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...urence_mro.htm
