hi, I am not good with coding and what I looking for to figure out is how to develop a strategy where I can put SMA + some range
eg

 

Code

protected override void Initialize()  {    SetProfitTarget ("", CalculationMode.Ticks, 4);   SetStopLoss ("", CalculationMode.Ticks, 2);   CalculateOnBarClose = false;   }      SMA(close, 4)  if ( price_is_above_SMA_5_ticks )   {   enterlong;  //only one time, if price pullback (one tick because second is SL) and cross the fifth tick from SMA again, no more opening position    }  if ( price_is_bellow_SMA_5_ticks )   {   entershort; //only one time   }

Hey Niki,

Not exactly sure how to interpret your request...

Two thoughts to help move it along:

1. Post a screenshot with markups to identify what you mean by this:

Quoting 

//only one time, if price pullback (one tick because second is SL) and cross the fifth tick from SMA again, no more opening position

2. Check out the SampleMACrossover strats on the Ninjatrader forum website and see if that could be altered to accomplish what you want.

it looks like that

I'm not sure to understand the question, but if you want to avoid reversing your positions after each opposite signal, the idea is maybe to do something like:

 

Code

if ( ( price_is_above_SMA_5_ticks ) && (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat) ) { enterlong ; } if ( ( price_is_below_SMA_5_ticks ) && (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat) ) {  entershort ; }

if you're asking for the "formula" to express price_is_above_SMA_5_ticks, try this:

 

Code

if (Close[0] > SMA(Close,4) + 5 * TickSize)

yes, that what I'm looking for, I found it on ninja forum but anyway thx.
