Thank you @Xfire ans @jstap. Will read up about the algorithm and circle back if I still have any queries.

I've stored the close of the Crossover Candle (Candle 1 immediately upon crossover) in the variable Buy_Alert (not sure if the algo is doing that - but thats the intent).

Then checking if any subsequent candle (respective Candle 1 from time to time) closes above the value store in Buy Alert - this is the confirmation to enter buy trade.

I've put the the entry and exit into separate areas.

Still being unable to enter order. Requesting help to enter a buy trade when price closes above the crossover candle close.

@Xfire : I removed all the additional steps - the EA takes trades on close above MA crossover now. Thanks - was good to see the EA actually do something.

How do I store a crossover candle close value in a variable now and enter trade when price closes above it?

@jstap : Yeah

@jstap : yes I will remove each block and try

@Xfire : why won’t it pass? I’m checking for a close above the close of candle which crosses over the moving average.

@Xfire: in block 4 my intent is to store the previous candle close in the variable High_Alert. To later use it to check for a close above this level to enter a trade.

I changed the last block to sell.
Still no trades in the back test. still feel im missing something.

@Xfire : Thank you for your response. Could you please help me understand what you mean?

Hi everyone,

I'm new here, trying to create my first EA on fxdreema.

Here's what I want to do:

TRADE ENTRY

1. When price crosses above 21 EMA (high prices), mark the candle close (variable : High_Alert) i.e store it in a variable.
2. When any subsequent candle closes above the High_Alert, ENTER THE BUY TRADE.

TRADE EXIT
3) When price crosses below 21 EMA (low prices), mark the candle close (variable : Low_Alert) i.e. store it in a variable.
4) When any subsequent candle closes below the Low_Alert, EXIT THE BUY TRADE.

Here's the project I've created to execute that.

However, when I run a backtest with this EA, it doesnt enter any trades.

Can someone please help me understand what I'm missing here.

Thanks in advace!
