3 Moving average conditions in strategy builder

[McGyver270]

Hi, How would i set my conditions with 3 MA crossover in Strategy builder?

Ex: I have SMA 9, SMA 20 and SMA 30
I'm going long when: SMA 9 cross over SMA 20 and then SMA 20 cross over SMA 30 (They are not necessarely happen simultaniously)
I'm going short when SMA 9 cross below SMA 20 and then SMA 20 cross below SMA 30 (They are not necessarely happen simultaniously)

Do i put theses condition in the same set or separately?

Thank you.

Hello McGyver270,

These would be two conditions sets. One for the long entry, and the second for the short entry.

If the SMA 9 and SMA 20 are both crossing on the same bar, these would be in the same condition set.

Thank you Chelsea but that doesn't work. I have attached images to help you understand my request.

Hello McGyver270,

Apologies, I overlooked that you didn't want these crosses on the same bar.

Instead you will need to split these into separate conditions and use a bool that is set to true when the first condition is true, and required to be true for the second condition where the bool is set back to false.

Below is a link to an example.
