@jstap

thanks, seems to be at least opening trades now following your advice, just need to play with the candle numbers to optimize. Appreciate your help

@tipsywisdom

Also to explain what I need more clearly I am not saying to trigger when indicator below -150 and crossing -100 at the same time, that is obviously not logical. The indicator needs to pass below -150 before then at some stage in the future cross over the -100 level at which point the position is opened.

Hi, so if I dont use ontick what would I use?

Hi

I tried to swap the order but it doesnt trigger any positions to open. I think the problem is that its treating the two conditions as "AND" now since they will not occur at the same time it will not work. What I need to tell it to do is if 1st condition met "THEN" if second condition met open trade

What I am trying to achieve is to activate a buy when the following conditions are met:

1. CCI value goes to -150 or less and then if this occurs
2. CCI crosses from below to above -100 activate a buy order

Hi

Thank for the response however that doesn't work fro me. All I need is for the program to open a trade if the indicator reaches -150 and then crosses over -100. it seems a common thing people would want to do but I cant get it to work. So trigger one condition then if the second condition is triggered open the position.

To make it clearer for the structure that I am using please see updated EA tree.

@tipsywisdom

Hello again. I am still struggling to get this to work. I tried putting the condition that the indicator needs to attain a certain value but will only open a trade if the indicator once attaining this value then crosses back over a another value, ie indicator needs to reach 300 then cross back over 100 before entering a trade. It doesn't open any trades when I test this version. Do you have any further advice on what I am doing wrong? To me it seems like its linking the condition criteria as and "AND" rather than a "THEN" and therefore not working.

Thanks, really appreciate your help, I will give it a try

Thanks for the response, I have included an image of the EA.

Hi All

I have developed an EA that triggers orders based on an indicator cross over however I would like to add a confirmation condition where it only triggers the order if the indicator line is still above/below the selected indicator level after the next two candles. I have tried the AND commands but cant get it to work correctly.

thanks
