Help with trading bot conditions

[Zescu]

Hello, I am developing a strategy for my bot where the conditions are as follows:
1. When the 13, 21, 48, and 200ema are aligned in that order I want to take a long entry on the 13 ema.
2. When the 200, 48, 21, and 13ema are aligned in that order I want to take a short entry on the 13 ema.
3. When the emas are too close together, no trade should be placed.

Basically, I need help with how I could go about specifying the distance between my emas, so the bot knows when it should trade and when it should keep waiting. Any ideas or tips would be very much appreciated!

This is all in strategy builder by the way. I was wondering for EMA > EMA, would the offset feature be a way to check for spacing between the emas?

Hello Zescu,

Thanks for your post.

You could consider offsetting an EMA indicator value to detect if it is a certain distance from another EMA indicator value.

For example, you could create a condition that checks if the EMA(13) offset by 5 ticks is equal to EMA(21) to detect if the EMA(13) is 5 ticks from the EMA(21)

See the 'How to offset an item value' section of this help guide for more information about offsetting an item in the Strategy Builder: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...on_builder.htm
