How To Enter Position Once On Rising ADX in Strategy Builder

[timwey]

I am trying to find a way to build a simple strategy based on 'rising' adx' in the Strategy Builder when a set of conditions are met. For example, when price closes above 50 period ema and 200 period ema, and rising adx. I want to enter long when adx begins to rise, but it enters long on every bars meeting these conditions, I just want to enter "once" when adx begins to rise, not on every bar, but I cannot figure out how. Can someone help me. Thanks.

Hi Timwey,

You can use a variable named 'count,' with a default value of 0.
When the ADX starts to increase and the 'count' variable is 0, execute the command and increment the 'count' variable by 1.
When the ADX decreases, reset the 'count' variable to 0.
I hope this helps solve your problem.

Regards,
William
