keltner and price cross

[SteveReiza]

i'm trying to make a strategy using keltner channel and price. i'm trying to say if the simple moving average low ten is less than the keltner channel middle two twenty one bar ago, and price is greater than the simple moving average low ten and less than keltner channel middle two twenty one bar ago, but price needed to be less than simple moving average low ten three bars ago. enter long. can i get what that might look like?

if sma(Low,10) < keltner channel middle (parameters are 2,20),1) && price > sma(Low,10),3) && price < keltner channel (parameters 2,20) && price < sma(Low,10),3)
//enter Long

and i have for the stop loss, if price drops below the simple moving average low ten. can i get what that might look like?

stop loss

if price < sma(Low,10),1)

Hello SteveReiza,

I highly recommend using the Strategy Builder to create the logic, and the click View Code to see the code that this produces.

Below is a link to a forum post with helpful resources on getting started with C# and NinjaScript. Be sure to watch the 'Automate Your Trading with NinjaTrader's Strategy Builder' training video.

The code would appear as:

if (SMA(Low, 10)[0] < KeltnerChannel(2, 20).Midline[0] && Close[0] < KeltnerChannel(2, 20).Midline[0] && Close[0] < SMA(Low, 10[3])

if (Close[0] < SMA(Low, 10)[1])

if (SMA(Low, 10)[0] < KeltnerChannel(2, 20).Midline[0] && Close[0] < KeltnerChannel(2, 20).Midline[0] && Close[0] > SMA(Low, 10[0])

if (Close[3] < SMA(Low, 10)[3])
