Is it possible to setup auto trading based on an alert such as moving averages crossing over?

So if I understand it correctly you can set subgraph line 1 and 2 based on common study inputs page to moving averages. If this is the case I should be able to set up auto trading for when two different moving averages cross to perform a buy/sell with my live account. Is that correct? |

I can't see where to set subgraph line 1 and 2 to moving averages.

I’ve now realised that it is a custom study. It didn’t state that in the description. I set it up and it worked when a sell signal was confirmed, but then when the trade reversed and the moving average crossed over again the trade didn’t reverse. I had it set as the action to reverse the trade if the crossover occurs but for some reason it didn’t do the reversal? |

I have tested all options within this custom study and can confirm that the action on crossover options work when no action is selected and also when exit on crossover is selected. However when reverse on crossover is selected nothing happens. I was in a trade going long then the trade reversed the moving averages crossed over the subgraph marked the crossover within the chart but the trade didn't reverse. |

The source code for that study is available and is in the tradingsystem.cpp file that is in your ACS_Source folder under your main Sierra Chart folder.

When using the Trading System Based on Alert Condition study, reversals do function properly. Here is an example: Auto-trade: Replay 60X: MESU22-CME[M] 1 Min #1 | Trading System Based on Alert Condition | SellEntry | Bar start date-time: 2022-08-08 08:03:00.000 | SellEntry reversal order processed.

I have tested this today and it doesn't reverse for me? I had 4 contracts running 3 of them hit their TP and 1 didn't. The trade reversed, moving average crossed over and the trade didn't reverse. I had support reversals set to yes. |

We do not know what the issue is in your case. we do not provide automated trading system debugging: Automated Trading Management: Troubleshooting Automated Trading System Behavior However, we are going to add these new Inputs to the Trading System Based on Alert Condition study in the next release: "Cancel All Orders on Entries" "Cancel All Orders on Reversals" We recommend setting the last one to Yes.

is there a way of automating a trade buy or sell when the price or a moving average crosses the VWAP study?

Same answer as Post #2 above. In those studies you define the data you are using.

Then you must have something incorrect in your Alert Condition. You can post what you are wanting to accomplish and what you have written and ask for help with it.

I think I have found the issue. It wasn't working with a moving average study. It needed to be moving averages study
