Hi Enzo, Nicolas did this for me a couple of weeks ago, https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/place-orders-when-a-curve-change-colour/ it is for a single ma but i’m sure the condition could be added to incorperate all types of ma as per the indicator. hope it helps.

HI, SOME TIME WORKS ..SOME TIMES NOT….WHY? LOOK AT THE PIC

THANKS

THE CODE IS:

// Definizione dei parametri del codice
DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = false // Posizioni cumulate disattivate

// Condizioni per entrare su posizioni long

indicator3 = CALL "MM Quatruple EXP"[cinq, uno](close)
indicator4 = CALL "MM Quatruple EXP"[cinq, uno](close)
c2 = indicator3 > indicator4[1] and indicator4[1] < indicator3

IF c2 THEN
BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
ENDIF

// Condizioni per entrare su posizioni short

indicator8 = CALL "MM Quatruple EXP"[cinq, uno](close)
indicator9 = CALL "MM Quatruple EXP"[cinq, uno](close)
c5 = indicator8 < indicator9[1] and indicator9[1]> indicator8

IF c5 THEN
SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
ENDIF

// Definizione dei parametri del codice

DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = false // Posizioni cumulate disattivate

// Condizioni per entrare su posizioni long

indicator3 = CALL "MM Quatruple EXP"[cinq, uno](close)

indicator4 = CALL "MM Quatruple EXP"[cinq, uno](close)

c2 = indicator3 > indicator4[1] and indicator4[1] < indicator3

IF c2 THEN

BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET

ENDIF

// Condizioni per entrare su posizioni short

indicator8 = CALL "MM Quatruple EXP"[cinq, uno](close)

indicator9 = CALL "MM Quatruple EXP"[cinq, uno](close)

c5 = indicator8 < indicator9[1] and indicator9[1]> indicator8

IF c5 THEN

SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET

ENDIF

Sorry Enzo, I’m out of my office until later but try this for a buy condition:-

C2=indicator 3>indicator 3[1] and indicator 3[1]<indicator3[2]

c2 = indicator3 > indicator3[1] and indicator3[1] < indicator3[2]

IF c2 THEN
BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
ENDIF

// Condizioni per entrare su posizioni short

indicator8 = CALL "MM Quatruple EXP"[150, 4](close)

c5 = indicator8 < indicator8[1] and indicator8[1]> indicator8[2]

IF c5 THEN
SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
ENDIF

// Definizione dei parametri del codice

DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = false // Posizioni cumulate disattivate

// Condizioni per entrare su posizioni long

indicator3 = CALL "MM Quatruple EXP"[150, 4](close)

c2 = indicator3 > indicator3[1] and indicator3[1] < indicator3[2]

IF c2 THEN

BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET

ENDIF

// Condizioni per entrare su posizioni short

I’ve had a look and yes it does act strangely?, I think it is something mathematical with the indicator as the line of code I posted above works fine with regular ma’s, is a quatruple ma critical to what you are doing?.

did a quick test with just an exponential ma not qema, 10K acc £10/point from 01-01-2015 to 01-01-2017. 157% not bad!. optimised came back with ema25 & ema235 with 245%.
