Hi all. Looking for quick help to write a line of code for a signal. I am using Step_Indy and an EMA cross for a combined signal. What I want to do is have the EA enter a trade only when both give a signal within 10 bars of each other. So say that the Step gives a signal, I want the EA to look back 10 bars to see if there was a MA cross, if yes enter, if not ignore signal. (Note I don't want it to just check and see if the MA cross current signal is long, I want it to have been a recent NEW signal like within 10 bars, this is critical to the strat) I know I need to likely use the 'for' function, but an unsure of how exactly I should structure it. TIA for any help, I don't think I have seen this done in the past in any EA's I've looked at. |
