Why not HMA(Open instead of HMA(HMA(Open, ConvertToInt32(0)

[joemiller]

is this condition correct that i have created in conditions and actions in the strategy builder ...
HMA(Close, HmaPeriod)[0] > HMA(HMA(Open, ConvertToInt32(0)), HmaPeriod)[0]

is the above condition correct if i am trying to create a condition that says ''if the close of bar 0 of the HMA indicator is greater than the open of the bar'' ?

if it is correct, why isn't it just simply
HMA(Close, HmaPeriod)[0] > HMA(Open, HmaPeriod)[0] ?

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

If you are trying to compare the HMA Open versus the HMA Close, then the syntax generated would not be correct and would instead be like you had shown:

HMA(Close, HmaPeriod)[0] > HMA(Open, HmaPeriod)[0]

The syntax you have shown appears that the HMA was double selected, can you provide more details, was the syntax generated using some steps and resulted incorrectly?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

yes i am trying to compare the HMA Open versus the HMA Close
[i.e.] HMA(Close, HmaPeriod)[0] > HMA(Open, HmaPeriod)[0]

i am able to easily create the attachment#1 condition.
i then go to the attachment#2 window in an unsuccessful attempt to change
HMA(Close, HmaPeriod)[0] > HMA(Close, HmaPeriod)[0]
to HMA(Close, HmaPeriod)[0] > HMA(Open, HmaPeriod)[0]
by trying to employ the yellow high-lighted data series input series field.
So i need some suggestions/directions about how to navigate from this point to get to my desired goal.

issue is resolved and can be closed

issue is resolved!

i still don't know how to successfully edit an existing condition ... but i easily generated the desired condition by starting from scratch by adding the new desired condition. that's all i need. would be nice to knowledgeable enough to do it by editing but now it doesn't matter.

thanks for the help.

Hello joemiller,

Thanks for your reply.

If you would like to edit an existing condition, first you will need to open a new Strategy Builder by going to New --> Strategy Builder. In the Welcome section, you will need to select the strategy which you would like to edit the conditions for. After selecting your desired strategy, you can go to the Conditions and Actions section and edit the existing conditions there so long as you did not unlock your code.

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.
