MACD Multi-Timeframe Strategy

[TrionnaM1]

I am currently having issues with getting my strategy to plot buy entries correctly.

The objective of the strategy is to:
Frst, look for the MACD to cross above the AVG on the 15-minute chart, once that happens then it is considered to be buy trend.
Next, look for the MACD to be greater than the AVG on the 5-minute chart, once that happens then it is considered to still be a buy trend.
Lastly, everytime the MACD crosses above the AVG on the 1-minute chart, put in a buy and close when the MACD crosses below the AVG on the 1-minute chart.

For some reason, buys are still being put in even though the MACD is below the AVG, on multiple timeframes as well...
Any tips...

Hello TrionnaM1,

In this situation you would need to use a print to see what the values of the indicators are when your condition is true to know why it was placing orders at that time. Using the chart visuals is generally not helpful when diagnosing strategy problems, using t he actual values that the strategy sees will tell you with accuracy why the condition was or was not true. We have a video that goes over using prints in the builder in the link below.
