Coding Price Cross

[RainyDay]

Hi All,

Completely new to MT4 and looking for some help coding a simple price cross over a moving average.

Pseudocode looks like this:

__________________

When CurrentPrice crosses MA(100)

Start Buy function

Instead of looking (end endlessly waiting) here for someone search (or google) for already existing code!

Hi whroeder1,

I'm looking for a way to identify: when the current price crosses (above/below) a Simple Moving average.

Any suggestions?

1. You said that in your first post. What part of "show us your attempt and state the nature of your problem" was unclear?
   

2. If the open is on one side and the close is on the other, then price crossed.

   double ma = ...;
   bool wasBelow =  Open[1] < ma;
   bool  isBelow = Close[1] < ma;
   bool hasCrossed = wasBelow != isBelow;

   Is that so hard?
