Everytime EMA lines cross, Enter and exit the trade once the most

[feng2088]

Sorry everyone..i am a noob.
I think something is wrong with my codes. It's not working the way I want. What I want it to do is to enter long when the EMA(fast) crosses above the EMA(Slow) by $1. And it will exit the trade if EMA(fast) cross above the EMA(slow) by $5 or exit when EMA(fast) == EMA(slow)...pretty much the same for short...If u see anything wrong..please advise. Thanks much!

//No Ninjatrader here...Codes have a lot of syntax error...it's just my idea

If(Crossabove EMA(fast), EMA(Slow)) {

If( EMA(fast) - EMA(slow) >1)
EnterLong();
If("Long"position == existed && EmA(fast) - EMA(slow) >5)
Exitlong();
}

If(EMA(fast)==EMA(slow))
Exitlong();
===============
//short
If(Crossabove EMA(Slow), EMA(fast)) {

If( EMA(slow) - EMA(fast) >1)
EnterShort();
If("Short"position == existed && EmA(slow) - EMA(fast) >5)
ExitShort();
}

If(EMA(fast)==EMA(slow))
ExitShort();

Hello Feng,

Thank you for your post.

There are a couple issues with capitalization here, which is important since C# is case sensitive.
If should be lower case if
Crossabove should be CrossAbove

Your syntax for verifying a long or short position is not correct. Should use the MarketPosition property for this:

I recommend playing with the condition builder at first and then seeing how the code is displayed to get the proper syntax.

There is also a built in crossover strategy that you can use for help on proper syntax.

I am aware of all the syntax error..I don't have ninjatrader or any complier on me now. I just want to know if there is any logical error with the codes. When I backtested and looked at the chart, i could tell the codes did not work preoperly. Thanks!

Hello,

Unfortunately we're not able to offer support for this or debugging. Looking briefly over your code I'm not able to see anything that stands out. If you have compiled NinjaScript code that is not working as expected please post the code sample or attach the file.

Thank you. I will post my code tonight when I get home.
