how to check for crossover at end of the bar

[junkone]

when i use this code to check crossover, it gets choppy as sometimes the crossover does not occur at end of the bar. how do i check for crossover so i can check at the end of the bar?

if (CrossAbove(EMA(9), EMA(22), 1))
{
Draw.Text(this, "crossabove" + CurrentBar, "look for long", 1, Low[1]);

}

Hello junkone,

Thanks for your post.

If you are using Calculate.OnEachTick or Calculate.OnPriceChange then it is possible that during a forming bar you might get several cross and uncross conditions resulting in the drawtext being issued several times.

You might try using the bool IsFirstTickOfBar as part of the condition set. The bool would only allow the crossover check once per bar, for example:

if (CrossAbove(EMA(9), EMA(22), 1) && IsFirstTickOfBar)
{ 
Draw.Text(this, "crossabove" + CurrentBar, "look for long", 1, Low[1]);
}

would the firsttickofbar be processed the first tick of the new bar?

Hello junkone,

That is correct.
