Its the >= "stuff". http://www.hermit.cc/teach/HO/dbms/OPTABLE.HTM

This link should give you a basic over view of the comparison of different values!

But yes you wish to use SMA(28) >= SMA(8) (which means when the value of sma28 is greater than (or equal to) sma8 then sell!)

hey kp...... crossings usually require 2 conditions..... SMA(28) >= SMA (8) one part..... such as below........h

hey kp..... it's admirable of you to attempt the ea on your own....


there are several versions of those 'zero code' programs.... sufx core is one...... all have the same basic design, change the shift variable to help create the two conditions..... as example, the before condition would have a shift value of 2, and the after condition would have a shifit value of 1.......

//----

those type 'zero code' programs were/are abused to the point that i just about can't even look at the code they produce..... so, due to that...

hey kp..... i'll be in my prefered office shortly, a deer stand..... will code it up there.....

but can tell without a doubt it will not work as you hope..... your using 2 momentum indicators with 3 different period settings in conjunction with 2 moving averages....

the odds of all 5 needed conditions to happen on the same bar are just about 0.... you might get a few signals a year....

then when you throw the bullish/bearish candle into the mix, well, it's just far to restricitive to place trades.....

place all those indicators on a chart...

hey kp...... here ya go..... all values are your default settings except for the one you have not mentioned, the distance from the ma...... pips sets that value..... if the price is less than the ma +/- that value it will trade.... if not, it will wait..... the larger the timeframe, the larger that setting should be.....

your tying it's hands and feet pretty tight with so many strict conditions...... so don't expect a whole lot of action.....h

hey kp..... i ran it on all timeframes on just a couple pairs, more for code check than anything else..... trades less than once a month , as expected.......

i'm back in the deer stand now..... things are slow so i'll add the ability to switch to a less restrictive and more conventional way of thinking.....

unless that trophy 3 point steps out......h
