Re: [amibroker] DMI Cross then wait for ADXR > 25

Are you sure about this? This appears to me that you would buy when the ADX crosses provided the ADXR has been > 25 for less than 10 days. Which means the ADX could be 26 THEN the ADx could cross it's signal line creating the buy. Seems like what Alex is looking for is more like:

Buy = Cross(ADX,25) AND PDI( period) > MDI( period ) AND BarsSince(PDI( period) > MDI( period ))<=10. 

Am I mistaken?

can be done as follows:
 
 
// buy entry rules 
period = 8; 
ADXR = ( ADX( period ) + Ref( ADX( period ), -1 * period ) )/2; 
//ADXR = ADX( period); 

Buy = Cross(PDI( period),MDI( period )) AND BarsSince(ADXR > 25) <= 10;   
BuyPrice = Close; 

// chart 
SetChartOptions(0, chartShowDates); 
Plot(C,"C",colorWhite,64); 
PlotShapes(IIf(Buy,shapeUpArrow,0),colorWhite, layer = 0, yposition = BuyPrice, offset = 0 );

Hi,

The system I am backtesting has the following buy rules:

+DI Cross over -DI (8)

this is signal day 1

the second signal must come after the first:

ADXR > 25

The buy price is the close of this second signal.

The point to note is that the second signal may come 1 or a maximum 
of 10 days after the first signal. After 10 days, the entry is 
invalid.

How would I code this in AFL?

Thanks - alex
