Hi,
It looks simple but something doesn't work for me while trying to execute orders in chart1 (data1) based on chart2 (data2) trigger condition...
the trigger/condition is 3MA cross on chart2, if condition met sellshort chart1. NOTHING HAPPENS, the condition doest met...
while the reference indicator show the condition met more then 10 times...
the code as follows:

Code: Select all

inputs:  FastLength( 4 ), MedLength( 9 ), SlowLength( 18 ) ;
variables: price(Close), price2(close,data2), MyFast( 0,data2 ), MyMed( 0,data2 ), MySlow( 0,data2 );

MyFast = AverageFC( close, FastLength )data2 ;
MyMed = AverageFC( close, MedLength )data2 ;
MySlow = AverageFC( close, SlowLength )data2 ;

Condition1 = price2 > myfast and myfast > MyMed and MyMed > MySlow ;
condition2 = CurrentBar > 1 and Condition1 and Condition1[1] = false;

if condition2 then 
	sellshort ("short") next bar at market;

what may be the problem? where am I wrong?

Hi,

Try to add this line:

Code: Select all

Price2 = Close Data2 ;

You may eventually also add this condition:

Code: Select all

If BarStatus(2) = 2 then begin

Also, make sure that Data1 is a higher (faster) resolution than Data2.
