Entry order not being executed

Hello sashol3,

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat && (CrossAbove(Close, SMA(4), 1) || CrossBelow(Close, SMA(4), 1)))
{
EnterLong();
}

wow, thank you very much. I am assuming I can just change sma to ema, but how do i make it so that it is based off the 5 minute?. Also, Im sorry for being ignorant, but how do i implement/execute this code? I have not touched code in ninja trader. I just have accessed it through strategy builder.

Hello sashol3,

Attached are screenshots of how this would look in the strategy builder.

Note, in historical you would be limited to Calculate.OnBarClose. The script would need to be unlocked and intra-bar granularity implemented along with TickReplay enabled to see intra-bar historical fills.

I dont know why this is not working. I am executing by right clicking on chart and enabling in the control center. Also, i notice that when i change chart time frame the strategy time frame changes as well. Is there a way to make this static?

Hello sashol3,

Apologies, in the Strategy Builder the CrossAbove/CrossBelow should be a condition group joined by 'If Any' so any of the conditions can be true.

Below is a link to a video demonstration.
