Simple MA Cross Over Modification

StarBright2009 · 09-19-2009, 08:44 AM

I am new to Ninja Trader and Ninja Scripts. For the Simple Moving Average Cross Over Sample Strategy, I would like to go to cash instead of placing a short order when the Fast Moving Average crosses below the Slow Moving Average. How can this be accomplished?

Thanks.

Hi StarBright, by cash I'm assuming you mean flat. Instead of doing a EnterShort(), you can just have it ExitLong():

Code:

if (CrossBelow(SMA(Fast), SMA(Slow), 1))
    ExitLong();

Thank you very much! That is exactly what I wanted.
