I’ve written this ‘crude’ (as in rough) code (for a Trading System Based on Alert Condition) to identify a pullback and it works (to a degree!) – AND(C>ID1.SG2,C>=C[-1],C<=C[-2]) But, ideally, I just want it to trigger just once, after a Moving Average crossover. I am lead to believe that using ‘IF/ELSE’ might enable that, but I just don't know where to start. Can you help, please? |

You don't need to use the IF function when the result is boolean. Try this for a Buy Entry: =AND(CROSSFROMBELOW(C,ID1.SG2),C>=C[-1],C<=C[-2]) and this for a Sell Entry: =AND(CROSSFROMABOVE(C,ID1.SG2),C<=C[-1],C>=C[-2]) Here is the documentation for this study: Trading System Based on Alert Condition Here are some alert formula examples: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Alert Formula Examples |
