I am trying to write a strategy using a 50ema of a 50 ema. Can someone help.

hello!
I am trying to write a strategy that is continuously active. I want a to use an input series of the 50 ema times a 50 ema. Then a 50 sma cross. I am trying to set an OCO order, so every time they cross my long will replace my short, and vice versa. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I want a to use an input series of the 50 ema times a 50 ema

You are trying make an indicator that plots the ema squared (50 ema times a 50 ema)?

Value[0] = EMA(50) ^ 2;

And then use this as the input series for another indicator?

Which indicator do you want to use this as the input series for?

For example if you named the indicator MyIndicator you could use this for the input series of the SMA.

Print(SMA(MyIndicator(), 14));

Then a 50 sma cross

What do you want to detect the EMA(5) crossing?

For example checking if the EMA(50) is crossing above the SMA(14)

if (CrossAbove(EMA(5), SMA(14), 1))
{
}

I am trying to set an OCO order

To set an OCO pair of two or more orders, you will need to use the unmanaged approach.

Below are links to examples.

Thank you for the reply, Chelsea! I am attempting to write a strategy that would place an OCO order when the 50x50 Ema crosses a 50simple ema.

Hello tbergmann9919,

I'm not understanding. A value squared is never going to cross the original value..

Lets say the current value of the EMA(50) is 1000. If you multiply 1000 times 1000 (or 1000 ^ 2) this equals 1,000,000. 1 million is never going to cross below the SMA(50) which is likely producing a value around 1000.

You could add that logic but the condition would never evaluate as true.

Are you certain you want to multiply the EMA(50) times the EMA(50)?
