How to filter my signals with another indicator

[paruchuriphani]

Hi,

I am using MACD for generating buy and sell calls. now i want to filter my signals with suppertrend indicator.when my suppertrend in UPTREND i don't want to plot RED ARROWS vice versa for DOWNTREND.

this is my MACD signal generating code:

if(CrossAbove(dotSeries, BB_UpperBand,1)&&up)

{
{
DrawArrowUp("up"+CurrentBar,false,0,Low[0]+2*TickSize,Color.Green);
}
up=false;
down=true;
}

i call my suppertrend indicator in MACD like this:

if((TSSuperTrend(7, TradingStudies.NinjaScript.Utility.MovingAverageTy pe.HMA, 1.618, 7, TradingStudies.NinjaScript.Utility.SuperTrendMode. Adaptive).Trend[0]==true))

i want to remove my wrong calls please help me how to use this two codes properly.

Thank You,

Hello,

I do not have access to these indicators so I cannot test this, but the basic idea should be the same.

You can add a check for your SuperTrend indicator and then put the checks for the MACD inside that block:

//checks that SuperTrend is True
if((TSSuperTrend(7, TradingStudies.NinjaScript.Utility.MovingAverageTy pe.HMA, 1.618, 7, TradingStudies.NinjaScript.Utility.SuperTrendMode. Adaptive).Trend[0]==true))
{
   //if the super trend is true, then check the cross above for the MACD
    if(CrossAbove(dotSeries, BB_UpperBand,1)&&up)

    {	
        {
            //only would draw this if both proceeding conditions are true
            DrawArrowUp("up"+CurrentBar,false,0,Low[0]+2*TickSize,Color.Green);
        }
    up=false;
    down=true;
    }
}

Hi Matthew,

Thank You so much for your quick reply,

i check this code:

//checks that SuperTrend is True
if((TSSuperTrend(7, TradingStudies.NinjaScript.Utility.MovingAverageTy pe.HMA, 1.618, 7, TradingStudies.NinjaScript.Utility.SuperTrendMode. Adaptive).Trend[0]==true))
{
//if the super trend is true, then check the cross above for the MACD
if(CrossAbove(dotSeries, BB_UpperBand,1)&&up)

{
{
//only would draw this if both proceeding conditions are true
DrawArrowUp("up"+CurrentBar,false,0,Low[0]+2*TickSize,Color.Green);
}
up=false;
down=true;
}
}

it's working but we have a small problem. It appears that only a few are seen not all arrows. as per my knowledge
we are using "&&up" function that's why we miss some Important ARROWS. because "&&up" function for if up is true and the Cross Above() then draw the arrow vice versa for the CrossBelow(). in this case if we remove one GREEN ARROW next RED ARROW also does not come.

please give me Ticket number . i will send indicators to you through email.

please help me

ThankYou,
