Strategy Wizard question candle between EMA's

[SNIP07]

I am a new user of the NT. It is really an amazing software. I am trying to make some sample backtesting, I've spent hours trying to get the Strategy Wizard's functions do what I want Please help me out with this:

I want to enter long when these conditions are present:

20EMA above 50EMA and open&close of the candle (full body) is in within the range of 20EMA and 50EMA, enter long one tick above the high.


Obviously my logic is not what of the Strategy Wizard, this is what I put what seems as logic to me:

Conditions:

EMA(20)[1]>EMA(50)[1]
Close[1]>=EMA(50)[1]
Open[1]>=EMA(50)[1]
Close[1]<=EMA(20)[1]
Open[1]<=EMA(20)[1]

I also tried to use separate Sets for each, nothing seems to work

Do following:

Enter long position

In words the idea is the fast ema must be above slow ema, price then must come to the range between fast and slow ema's whole candle must form within this range. Enter long next bar one tick above.

I'll appreciate any help.
Thank you.

Can you post your entire code?

Roonius, Im not using program coding, I use Wizard. This condition is all I need, all other parts of the method I used I could figure out myself.

Roonius, I did try that too. Didnt work. Am I doing it correct putting all these under one Set 1? This seems to be a simple function, dont know why my NT doesnt understand it.

Debugging is always the frustrating part of any type of logic development. Here are some tips -

- Strip down your strategy a single condition 20 MA > 50 MA
- For your action, just color the bar or draw some sort of chart marker on the bar when this condition evaluates to true
- Throw this strategy on a chart (backtest), inspect the chart, are the markers where you expect them
- Add the next line, Close < 50 MA etc...
- Repeat this process until it no longer delivers against your expectations, then you know where your logic issue is
