Below Simple MA

[Memorris]

Hi all!

I am wondering how you would write a code to test a strategy. I would need to know when price closes below a percentage below a simple moving average, when the following day closes above a percentage below a simple moving average, and when price moves above the day price closed above a percentage below a simple moving average.

All this with having a stop below percentage below a simple moving average.

Thank you in advance!

sorry , this is very confusing.
...when price moves above the day price closed above a percentage below a simple moving average...
can you rewrite your rules, either using more words or something like this ... ( shorthand code)

price = close
per = percent
ma = moving average
day_close = close( day)
day = 0 = current day , 1 = prev day,..

is this close to the first rule ?

rule1 = on previous day, , if price crosses below ( ma - (per * ma))
and on current day , price crosses above ( ma - (per * ma))
then 1 else 0;

I just posted a Strategy that basically does that. Take a look. Might get you started. Does that help?

thanks for offering, but you didn't provide a link , so i don't know which post you are talking about.
if you click on a post number, in the top right of a post, the page will reload and update the web link to point to that post. then you can copy the web link and paste somewhere.

the user in post1 hasn't been here in awhile, so i'm not going to work it. click or hover on a user's name to see an info window pop up.
