Also, you may want to rethink your logic to be more restrictive. Just looking to see if the RSI was less than 30 *ever* is not going to be very usefull. You might want to adjust your strategy for trigger1 to be RSI < 30 within some predefined time period (e.g. within last 20 bars) giving the following:
Buy = BarsSince(RSI(14) < 30) < 20 AND Cross(MA(Close, 5), MA(Close, 10)); If you specifically wanted to measure from the point that the RSI *first crossed* below 30 (as opposed to the most recent day at which it was *still* below 30), you would use Cross in the first expression too: Buy = BarsSince(Cross(30, RSI(14))) < 20 AND Cross(MA(Close, 5), MA(Close, 10)); Mike --- In [email protected], "wavemechanic" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sounds like you want something along these lines: barssince(rsi < 30) > 1 and (moving average condition). > > Bill > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: tridean34 > To: [email protected] > Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2008 8:26 AM > Subject: [amibroker] Re: Not sure how to create a trigger > > > Hi Guys, > sorry for not being more specific. > > Let's say it is RSI I am using. > > If RSI < 30 then look for trigger 2.
