@timmyhanke that's in fact easier to do, thanks!

works great for my specific request, but it's also nice to learn two ways to do it at once,

thanks guys!

@kelly-morgan thank you kelly, i think this is exactly what i was looking for.

it's strange to me beeing the newb for the first time in years..

i'll dig my way through this forum from now on.

thanks again.

@kelly-morgan allright, read a few pages on that, i think i understood how to set a variable.
now that i have it, how can i integrate the value (upper BB - lower BB e.g.) as a condition?

couldn't find a block: "if variable XY lower Z" > don't trade

i am probably thinking this wrong- is there any tutorial / smth to read on that?

thanks again.

@kelly-morgan hey kelly, thanks a bunch.

of course the next question is how do i substract the value of the lower band from the value of the upper band?

i am trying to find my way into this, so this would be an interesting tutorial.

thank you!

hey there,

if i want to build a condition that says:

if the (outer/inner) bollinger bands are close to each other: don't sell/buy.

how would i do that?

thanks in advance.

hey there, i am a newbie to this.
starting out with a test project: when 7sma >X 12sma: buy / when 4sm <X 7sma: close trade

when analyzing the back test i noticed that it doesn't open the trade when the SMAs cross, but when the closing price of the candle is created. what do i have to do to execute the BUY the very millisecond the 7sma crosses above the 12sma, vice versa: how to close the trade the very millisecond the 4 crosses below the 7 sma?

thanks for your input, i am sure you can fix this in a second
