I am getting confused over this. I want to check if it has been less than 60 days since the 8-day SMA turned up or down. Do I create 3 monthly SMA blocks with shift 0, 1, 2 then compare the output to daily 8-day SMA?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Regards

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply;
Your request is much more complicated than that but it is possible to be made:
You have to start with working on daily basis then implement a counter that counts the days till 8. Afterward, you should retrieve the Open High low and close prices from the data collected.
I can build an example for you if you're still interested in this idea
Cheers

Hi there,
I made a example based on 6 days :
- The period filter is quite important to be able to trade on daily basis as you can see
- The SMA is built on 1 day period and a counter is incrementing till 6 --> 6 days
- Once the counter reaches 6, the simple average is calculated: in this example I took the total sum of 6 daily SMA divided by 6
- the assign blocks are used to reset the counter and the sum variable otherwise they will keep increasing indefinitely
Cheers

Thank you so much for this. I am still figuring out how to incorporate it into my initial idea.

Alright, How do you define the following: Quote: since the 8-day SMA turned up or down will you simply compare the current 8days SMA with the previous one to determine the trend or you need more "shifted data" for that ? As the strategy will build 8 days EMAs, the trend identification will be based on 8 bars of 8 days (which makes 64 days) so in other words first the strategy compute the SMAs every 8 daily candles then store the current value and compare it to the previous one to determine the trend. Is this fine for you ? Cheers
