Hi SuperDude123 , thanks for writing in.

The term bunched up will need to be better defined to implement within the condition builder. The strategy builder will need multiple conditions in the condition builder screen comparing several EMAs against each other. E.g. say you have 5 different EMAs, you will need several conditions in one set comparing all of the values against each other to check if they are within the same price range.

Kind regards,

Ok say I have 9, 20, and 50 ema. And if they are close together how would I go about it. I can adjust the space room

Hi SuperDude123,

One way you could define a grouping is two or more EMAS all within a single bar:

In practice, you can pick any range of price values on the right side of the condition.

So on this sample, you use 20ema as high and low as range right.
thanks

Hi, thanks for your reply.

The sample is checking that both a 9 and 20 EMA are within the most current bar.
