Is Above vs Cross Above

[Labutters]

Hello all, I'm having a little bit of trouble;

I'd like to create a pending position once candle id 0 has crossed these lines and moved back into them (some might call these a false breakout)
using x> doesn't seem to do the trick and > gets half of the trades.

How would I make this logic out in fxdreema? Would I have to try a conditions such as (condtion (x>) - condition (x<)?

Thank you in advance for the help

You need to set some rules, something like x< set a flag true - if flag is true and price has moved enough pips set another flag true - if both flags are true and price has moved back (something like x>) - complete the action

@jstap something like this? I gave it a go but it didnt seem to work

Hmm. Thank you for this It's very helpful. I'm not exactly getting my desired result. How would I modify this variable to have an arrow set on the candle Id that closes has broken that high/low?

I'm sorry that's not what I'm going for. I'll keep at it and maybe try and define my logic a bit better !

@jstap can we use boolean from condition&formula istead of flags? What's the diffrence between flags and condition&formula will one of them it function more properly?

[jstap]

There is no difference, except you can view bool in a comment.

[CAVINCENT]

@jstap can view bool in comments?

[jstap]

Yes, in a commend block select value and bool

@jstap, I am a beginner but I have been able to build a simple moving average cross over EA. please how do I copy the link from fxdreema so that I can share it for your review?

[CAVINCENT]

@capebo the 4th one from the projets

[jstap]

project screen - projects - create a shared link - open in web page - copy address bar and paste here

@CAVINCENT thank you for your assistance.
@jstap and others please check for me. https://fxdreema.com/shared/5KxyKs8ie
It gives good results in all the backtesting I have done so far. I am yet to try it on a demo account.

[jstap]

There appears to be nothing wrong with that, now test and see if it's doing as you want.

[capebo]

@jstap thank you.
may I know if the EA will continue to work even if I close the laptop or the laptop has to be on all the time?

[jstap]

No, you will need a VPS to do that

[capebo]

oh okay. thank you very much for your help.
