Similar in concept to a breakout, many traders like to trade crossovers. This can be a crossover of price from a certain threshold or even an indicator crossing over another indicator.

Key concepts in this example:
  • Determining and storing the first 15 bar high and low values for the current session
  • Submitting long or short entry orders depending on which threshold is crossed
  • Using a trail stop to exit positions


TIP: This reference sample sets CalculateOnBarClose to false. The reason we are doing this is so we can submit orders as soon as a crossover occurs instead of waiting for the bar to close before submitting the order.
