Pivot Touch plus MACD cross signal but different bars

[Jschmelz]

Is it possible to create a strategy where price hits a certain pivot point and then, sometime in the near future, go long or short when the MACD crosses 0? For example, if NQM6 hit a daily S1 point (so price was going down) and then during the price recovery we would go long when MACD crossed above 0. The problem I have currently is that market replay allows a 'bars ago' input but the signal would occur 'in the future' and the time is not known when that happens.

Appreciate any input - even if to say it's not possible. Thanks all!

Hello Jschmelz,

This is likely possible.

Below is a link to the help guide on calling the Pivots indicator.

And a link on calling the MACD indicator.

As well as a link to a forum post with helpful information about getting started with NinjaScript.

With the logic, you can store information to variables. For example using a bool that is set to true when one condition is true (set as a trigger) and then requiring that bool to be true in another condition that completes the action at a later time and resets the bool for the next setup.

Thanks Chelsea! I'll dig through these and will follow up with any other questions.

So this would be something I would have to code in myself, correct?

Yes, you would need to code the logic of the strategy.
