Greeting

How do I enter a trade when price crosses above an indicator instead of on bar close using strategy builder?

Welcome to the forums MStuhr!

Please see the example conditions and actions in the Help Guide for how to create crossover conditions and how to reference indicator plots. If you have not seen the instructional video yet, please see the Strategy Builder 301 tutorial to get acquainted with the Strategy Builder.

To have the strategy calculate its logic as prices change instead of when bars close, set the strategy's Calculate mode to OnPriceChange. Please note that backtesting does not have intrabar movement and that when backtesting, logic is processed following On Bar Close behavior. Orders are also filled following OHLC data since there is not intra granularity in a backtest.

Realtime data and Playback will allow the strategy to calculate with each tick or on price change.
