Hi, I am trying to filter a MA Cross strategy using the MINMAX indicator

I have this and it makes some difference as it makes less trades now but it doesnt seem right, when I change the period for the minmax it makes no difference ? I am only at copy and paste level really

Any help would be most appreciated

double fastMA = indicators.sma(instrument, period, OfferSide.BID, IIndicators.AppliedPrice.CLOSE, fastMAPeriod, 0);
                double fastMAonPreviousBar = indicators.sma(instrument, period, OfferSide.BID, IIndicators.AppliedPrice.CLOSE, fastMAPeriod, 1);
                double slowMA = indicators.smma(instrument, period, OfferSide.BID, IIndicators.AppliedPrice.CLOSE, slowMAPeriod, 0);
                double slowMAonPreviousBar = indicators.smma(instrument, period, OfferSide.BID, IIndicators.AppliedPrice.CLOSE, slowMAPeriod, 0);   
                double[] MM = null;
        MM = indicators.minMax(instrument, myPeriod, OfferSide.BID,
                AppliedPrice.CLOSE, 20, shift);
        double Min = MM[0];
        double Max = MM[0];
                
                if (positionsTotal(instrument) == 0) 
                {
                    ////////// --- Condition for BUY --- //////////                           
                    if (bidPrice > Max && fastMAonPreviousBar < slowMAonPreviousBar && fastMA > slowMA)
                    {
                    buy(instrument, engine, profitLimit, lossLimit, volume);
 
                    }
                
                else  
                    ////////// --- Condition for Sell --- //////////
                    if (askPrice < Min && fastMAonPreviousBar > slowMAonPreviousBar && fastMA < slowMA) 
                    { 
                        sell(instrument, engine, profitLimit, lossLimit, volume);                   
                    }                   
              }

Please consider adding print statements in order to log the values and see which execution path gets taken and why. See:
