Price cross 2 moving averages

[jtbro]

Hey guys, I am looking to see if someone could help me with coding an idea.

I would like an arrow plotted on a candle when
Price crosses two moving averages within the body of the current candle.
Would also like the option to displace .

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Example:
Price crosses above the 10 sma and 40sma within the same bar an up arrow will appear, and the opposite when it crosses back below in the same bar( on any time frame)

I can figure out crossing of 1, 2 within the same bar is a little tricky for me

create a formula for each condition.
then check the desired combinations.

# ma1 and ma2 are 2 averages.

def a = close crosses above ma1;
def b = close crosses above ma2;

def c = close crosses below ma1;
def d = close crosses below ma2;

plot up = if (a and b) then low else double.nan;
up.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Arrow_UP);

plot down = if (c and d) then high else double.nan;
down.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Arrow_down);

Thank you so much...

It may need some tweaks but here's what I got thus far:


# ma1 and ma2 are 2 averages.
input price = close;
input length1 = 9;
input length2 = 9;
input displace = 0;

plot SMA1 = Average(price[-displace], length1);
plot SMA2 = Average(price[-displace], length2);


def a = close crosses above sma1;
def b = close crosses above sma2;

def c = close crosses below sma1;
def d = close crosses below sma2;


plot up = if (a and b) then low else Double.NaN;
up.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_UP);

plot down = if (c and d) then high else Double.NaN;
down.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_DOWN);
