hi all

i try to explain..it is simple but my english not good... here it is:
my objective is to detect if an UPgoing EMA suddenly start go DOWN.
in my idea i should detect if EMA on "last candle" is bigger than previous one (this mean bullish EMA).
when suddenly "last candle" EMA is smaller than previous candle EMA, (this means bearish EMA), in this moment, on candle close i wish detect this reverse.

thanks for every help !

bye!

Greetings.

To understand if SMA is going up or down you need to compare last two values of it.

And if you want to find turning-point in SMA you need last three values. And you need to check if SMA have made V shape turn.

Hi all,

Well good job guys !

Anyway, I notice that your strategy retrieve 30 SMA about last candles AND the current candle (shift = 0).

Why do you need to retrieve SMA concerning a current candle whom is not yet formed ?

Thanks for your answer and good trades !

onCandle event happens when candle is closed.
So Shift=0 will give you a value of candle just closed.
One Tick later it would be new candle.
