  Hi,

  How do I code the following condition?

  Long

  20 Exponential Moving average crosses over the 50 Exponential moving average in the last 20 bars

  Assuming you want a Screener, try this?

  Filter = SUMMATION[20] (ExponentialAverage[20](close) crosses over ExponentialAverage[50](close)) Screener (Filter)

  1 2 3

  Filter = SUMMATION[20] (ExponentialAverage[20](close) crosses over ExponentialAverage[50](close))   Screener (Filter)

  I just noticed you said ‘Long’ so you probably need this?

   

  If SUMMATION[20] (ExponentialAverage[20](close) crosses over ExponentialAverage[50](close)) Then Buy 1 Contract at Market Endif

  1 2 3 4 5

  If SUMMATION[20] (ExponentialAverage[20](close) crosses over ExponentialAverage[50](close)) Then   Buy 1 Contract at Market   Endif

  … and how would I also test if price crossed over the 50EMA in the previous X bars?

  I tried the below but didn’t work:

  <span class="token indicators">SUMMATION</span><span class="token punctuation">[X</span><span class="token punctuation">]</span><span class="token punctuation">(</span><span class="token keyword">close</span><span class="token punctuation">)</span> <span class="token keyword">crosses over</span> <span class="token indicators">ExponentialAverage</span><span class="token punctuation">[</span><span class="token number">50</span><span class="token punctuation">]</span><span class="token punctuation">(</span><span class="token keyword">close</span><span class="token punctuation">)</span><span class="token punctuation">)</span> Then

  1

  <span class="token indicators">SUMMATION</span><span class="token punctuation">[X</span><span class="token punctuation">]</span><span class="token punctuation">(</span><span class="token keyword">close</span><span class="token punctuation">)</span> <span class="token keyword">crosses over</span> <span class="token indicators">ExponentialAverage</span><span class="token punctuation">[</span><span class="token number">50</span><span class="token punctuation">]</span><span class="token punctuation">(</span><span class="token keyword">close</span><span class="token punctuation">)</span><span class="token punctuation">)</span> Then

  GraHal were almost correct, the summation should be tested if it is at least equal to 1:

  If SUMMATION[20] (ExponentialAverage[20](close) crosses over ExponentialAverage[50](close))>=1 Then Buy 1 Contract at Market Endif

  1 2 3 4 5

  If SUMMATION[20] (ExponentialAverage[20](close) crosses over ExponentialAverage[50](close))>=1 Then   Buy 1 Contract at Market   Endif

  Here, the moving average cross over may have occured more than once, you can also modified the condition with “=1” instead of “>=1”.
