So I'm trying to build a strategy with two MA's, lets say these are the 10MA & 20MA, I got my strategy to buy it when they cross and now I want my strategy to automatically take profit when the 5MA crosses the 20MA. How would I code this because it uses a different MA to close the position?

Close position when two moving averages crossing
Hi all,
So I'm trying to build a strategy with two MA's, lets say these are the 10MA & 20MA, I got my strategy to buy it when they cross and now I want my strategy to automatically take profit when the 5MA crosses the 20MA. How would I code this because it uses a different MA to close the position?Tags: None

Hello Lotyok,
Thanks for your reply.
Great question!
The stops and profits window in the Strategy Builder would be for fixed value exits only, such as a profit or stop of say 10 ticks, or $300, or 5% and these would be applied to every entry.
In your case, you are wanting a dynamic exit based on the changing conditions of two moving averages. So you would need to use a set with the conditions of the moving averages cross and in the actions under Order management> select an appropriate exit method such as exitLong() or exitShort().
If you have not already reviewed, here are the resources to help with the Strategy Builder:
