Help with Calculating Number of Bars between Two EMA Crossover point and Ask Price touching the Slow EMA.

[Niyoshaka Stanley Lameck]

Dear

Good day

I am learning to code EA for two timeframe EMA trading strategy. I need to count/calculate the number of bars from when FAST EMA crosses SLOW EMA  and when the Ask Prices retraces back and touches on or below SLOW EMA. I need to record this number as well as be able to get the Highest price between these two point. But I need to continue counting the bars until when the trend reverses.

Anyone who can help how to accomplish this please.

Regards

The problem is well stated and it is a major one. What about you have already done as a code

[Conor Mcnamara]

ArraySetAsSeries(time, true);

datetime currentTime = TimeCurrent();
datetime barOpenTime = time[0];

static int count;

// make a bool variable called "crossover" turn true when you find the crossover

if(crossover && (currentTime - barOpenTime == PeriodSeconds())){

        count += 1; //continues to count new bars after the crossover
}

Niyoshaka Stanley Lameck:

To be honest, it’s not very clear what you are talking about. Take a screenshot and mark on it the bars whose number you want to count.

That is, this is basically understandable:

from when FAST EMA crosses SLOW EMA

But the following is not clear:

Niyoshaka Stanley Lameck:
when the Ask Prices retraces back and touches on or below SLOW EMA

Thanks Conor, much appreciated. Will adopt your suggestion 

[Niyoshaka Stanley Lameck]

Conor Mcnamara #:
ArraySetAsSeries(time, true); datetime currentTime = TimeCurrent(); datetime barOpenTime = time[0];

I have tried this but getting an error "array required". am I skipping/missing something?

Still can't get it working

[Niyoshaka Stanley Lameck]

Also, trying to retrieve EMA cross over time. When I run the tester on historical data, i get a message saying "Wrong datetime" Where am I getting it wrong?

Please assist
