Hello guys. Can someone help with one indicator.

I want to program it to open a buy trade once the line changes color to green, and sell trade when line changes color to orange.

The line changes color at level 0.05 and -0.05, so I just wanted to buy when buffer 0 crosses above the value 0.05 or below the value -0.05. But that didn't do the trick.

I don't know how to do this with buffers. As you can see on the picture (when line is orange), the buffer 0 is the same value as Value 6. There is no crossing going on.

I would be grateful for any responses.

That's what I have now. Everything works well except that when I get a signal to close a trade (because C1 crossed the other way), it doesn't immediately open a new trade. I guess 'No trade' block creates this issue?

Yes, now the issue is that I want to create a loop of interchanging signals. So whenever C1 flips the other way, I want to close the existing trade and immediately open a new one (since it's a new signal). How to achieve that?

@l-andorrà Thanks for the idea, that does seem to work!

But I fear it will create other problems: let me play with it for a bit.

@jsauter86 You can easily find them online, but that's not the point.

Would there be another way to implement the same principle?

@l-andorrà Yes, that's the frustrating part.

If I connect conditions with AND (instead of OR), it works perfectly. But then I have two trades: I need one OR another.

Just an annoying bug and I really cannot find the flaw...

Hello. I'm new to this but I want to create this simple EA:

It goes like this: If my confirmation indicator 1 (C1) gives a signal at ID candle = 1, I want it to proceed to confirmation indicator 2 (C2). If this meets the criteria on the same candle, then I would go into trade.

Alternatively, if C1 doesn't give a signal at candle = 1, I want it to look one day back (so, ID = 2), and then proceed confirming with C2.

In my head it all makes sense, but somehow the OR condition doesn't work. Can someone check, please? The IF part works well, but the OR part doesn't.
