How do i find out at what exact point the crossovers occurs and then save them to a variable to be used to enter a limit order?

if volume > VOVO
and
ROC1[1] crosses above ROC2[1]
and
ExpAv1[1] crosses above ExpAv2[1]
and
VOVOROC1[1] crosses above VOVOROC2[1] then
begin
buy ( "buy") Cts contracts next bar at market ;
marketposition = true;

honoluluhustler,

the exact point in my opinion would be the tick that causes the cross. However in your code example you are looking for crosses of two indicators with different settings (like the ExpAv1 and ExpAv2). So the price should be Close[1] I suppose.

rleplae,

I am afraid, but this will only work in Ninjatrader and not in Multicharts or Tradestation, which is what honoluluhustler is using.

hi as you are talking about orders, i am assuming you are talking about a strategy and not an indicator... it depends where you will put this code for example if you put this code in the method OnBarUpdate () { } that will be called when a new bar is drawn (if you activate the strategy with 'on bar close') you can then refer to the last element [0], otherwise you are running a bar behind you can take a look at my thread, were i am taking the audience into a journey of building a BOT to implement the ATM method it does not generate orders (will do that later but it outputs to the output window in NT regards, ron
