OnPriceChange and Crossover

[Graci117]

I have been debugging my code and I am lost. I have set my strategy to OnPriceChange and checking IsFirstTickOfBar to find the crossover. If I say CrossAbove(fast,slow,1), I believe it looks at the current bar. If I set Crossover(fast,slow,2), it returns it for current and previous bar and so the strategy gets executed twice. I want to check if the crossover happened during the last bar.

When I am on playback, I noticed that the bar closed above on the previous bar, but the first tick of the bar the crossover is false (it went down by 1 tick). I still would like to take the trade based on the previous bar, no matter what the current bar returns.

How do I make sure that in both scenarios it looks only at the previous bar.

Thanks!!

Hello Graci117,

Thank you for your post.

You will need to create your own condition instead of using CrossAbove or CrossBelow, as these functions cannot exclude the current bar.

For example,

if (fast[2] < slow[2] && fast[1] > slow[1])
//do something
