Crossover Block

[tanjiayi1]

Hi, I am working on a EMA crossover strategy, whereby a trade is opened when:

1. EMA20 crosses above EMA50, AND
2. After this cross, any of the next 5 bars should be totally above the 2 EMAs

Which block should I use to create criteria 2)? Thanks in advance!

@tanjiayi1

then candle ID 5 is above MA20
But you should check candle ID 0 is also above because maybe candles are bearish

Thanks for your advice, but am looking to check the next 5 bars (any of them). Candle ID 5 will refer to the past 5th bar?

Then you will need a counter. Select the current initial candle as counter 1 and then check the condition for the next 5 counters.
