How to code no crossover/crossunder on the moving average for the past 20 bars

  Hello all and sorry for such a beginners question i guess, but ive forgot how to do this and i cant easily find an answer by searching words for this so im just going to ask:

  How can i code: If there has been no crossover/crossunder on the moving average, for the past 20 bars, then K = 0

   

  x = moving average 20

  I could say:  Close > x and close[1] > x[1] ……. close[20] > x[20]

   

  and then reverse the < sign, but i know theres an easier way to write this piece of the code.

   

  Big thx for any help.

  Hello,

   

  you are talking about “no cross” moving average I guess.

   

  You can find a code snipet here :

  Thanks, i think its the “summation” part i was looking for 🙂 Looks like my code is working now, here it is for anyone wondering:

  i have e1 and e2 = 20 at the moment, but you can try whatever numbers you want.

  Im going to use this as a filter for when “price is choppy”. As soon as there has been e2 periods (20 at the moment) with no crossover/crossunder, then K=0.

   

  x =exponentialaverage[e1](close) once k = 0 if close crosses over x or close crosses under x then k = k+1 endif if summation[e2](close > x) then k = 0 endif if summation[e2](close < x) then k = 0 endif return k

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

  x =exponentialaverage[e1](close)   once k = 0   if close crosses over x or close crosses under x then k = k+1 endif   if summation[e2](close > x) then k = 0 endif   if summation[e2](close < x) then k = 0 endif   return k

  You must know the rules by now jebus89! Topics must have meaningful titles – I’ve changed yours from ‘Simple question’!
