  hi,

  the low of the candle has not cross under the ema 37 line but still entered a long position. any reason why?

  //conditions to go long longc1 = ema37 - ema50 > 0.0002 longc2 = high[1] < high[2] and high[2] < high[3] longc3 = (low[1] crosses under ema37) or (low[1] crosses under ema50) longc4 = (close[1] > ema50) and (close[2] > ema50) and (close[3] > ema50) longconditions = longc1 and longc2 and longc3 and longc4 //long entry trigger buyentry = close >= high[1] if not onmarket and longconditions and buyentry then buy 1 contracts at market endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

  //conditions to go long longc1 = ema37 - ema50 > 0.0002 longc2 = high[1] < high[2] and high[2] < high[3] longc3 = (low[1] crosses under ema37) or (low[1] crosses under ema50) longc4 = (close[1] > ema50) and (close[2] > ema50) and (close[3] > ema50) longconditions = longc1 and longc2 and longc3 and longc4   //long entry trigger buyentry = close >= high[1]   if not onmarket and longconditions and buyentry then buy 1 contracts at market endif

  thank you

  i thought it may be because of the spread but i tried changing it to 0 to some other number but the results are still the same.

  //indicators ema37 = ExponentialAverage[37](close) ema50 = ExponentialAverage[50](close) //conditions to go long longc1 = ema37 - ema50 > 0.0002 longc2 = high[1] < high[2] and high[2] < high[3] longc3 = (low[1] crosses under ema37) or (low[1] crosses under ema50) longc4 = (close[1] > ema50) and (close[2] > ema50) and (close[3] > ema50) longconditions = longc1 and longc2 and longc3 and longc4 //long entry trigger buyentry = close >= high[1] if not onmarket and longconditions and buyentry then buy 1 contracts at market endif

  Line 4 is logically wrong, it can’t test  a cross under between the previous LOW and current EMA’s.

  Replace it by:

  longc3 = (low crosses under ema37) or (low crosses under ema50)

  1	longc3 = (low crosses under ema37) or (low crosses under ema50)

  Do not use 0.0002, rather 2*PipSize.

  but one of the conditions is if the previous low crosses under those ema or value of it less than the ema. i do not want the lastest candle.

  when i try to replace line 7 with

  longc3 = (low[1] < ema37) or (low[1] < ema50)

  1	longc3 = (low[1] < ema37) or (low[1] < ema50)

  results are the same.

  got it

  i did this

  longc3 = (low[1] crosses under ema37[1]) or (low[1] crosses under ema50[1])

  1	longc3 = (low[1] crosses under ema37[1]) or (low[1] crosses under ema50[1])
