Struggling to get a simple CrossAbove and CrossBelow to work

[unpronounceable1700]

Disclaimer: I've only been doing this in the backtest strategy analyze, not live


Literally my entire strategy is just entering into a long when StochRSI crosses above 20, and entering into a reverse short when StochRSI crosses below 80.

I've tried every permutation of syntax I can think of, every debug, if current bars < barsrequiredtotrade, all that. It won't even enter a trade at all.

This is on a fresh "new strategy" as well.

I'm honestly lost as to why the most simple function will not work.

Hello unpronounceable1700,

Thank you for your post.

To get a better understanding of why nothing happens when you test in the Strategy Analyzer, please answer all of the following questions:

• What version of NinjaTrader are you using? Please provide the entire version number. This can be found under Help -> About (Example: 8.?.?.?)
• Do you see similar results when running the same test on the SampleMaCrossOver strategy in NinjaTrader with the same settings as your strategy?
• Who are you connected to? This is displayed in green in the lower-left corner of the Control Center window.
• Are you connected to your data feed provider when running this test?
• What instrument(s) (and expiry if applicable) have you selected?
• What Data Series Type have you selected? Example: Tick, Minute, Day
• What From and To date is selected?
• If you open a chart for the same instrument(s) and the same date range, then right-click the chart and select 'Reload all historical data' is the historical data showing on the chart?
• Is your strategy a multi-instrument or multi-time frame strategy?
• Do you receive an error on the screen? Are there errors on the Log tab of the Control Center? If so, what do these errors report?

I look forward to your response.

Solved:
StochRSI seems to be in decimal form and not integer.

Solution was CrossAbove(StochRSI(14), .20, 1)
