What would be the best way detecting 2 crossovers within the last X
days?
I tried this code and it didn't work, anyone willing to help?
// AFL Code for detecting multiple crosses within the past X Days
function IsMACross(MA_Above, MA_Below, DaysLookBack)
{
returnValue = False;
IsKeepLooping = True;
if (BarCount > DaysLookBack)
{
for (i = (BarCount - DaysLookBack) ; i <= BarCount
AND IsKeepLooping; i++)
{
if (Cross(MA_Above[i], MA_Below[i]))
{
returnValue = True;
IsKeepLooping = False;
}
}
}
return returnValue;
}
MA50 = MA(C, 50);
MA100 = MA(C, 100);
MA150 = MA(C, 150);
Filter = IsMACross(MA50, MA100, 10) AND IsMACross(MA100, MA150, 10);
Buy = Filter;
Sell = 0;
AddColumn(C, "Close", 1.2);
Thanks,
Gary
