intrade = flip(buy, sell);

buy = ready AND Cross(MA_Short, MA_Med);
Sell = Cross(MA_Med, MA_Short);

Hi,

Looking for some help with following situation.

Say we have 3 moving averages:

MA_Short = MA(C,20)
MA_Med = MA(C,100)
MA_long = MA(C,200);

My signals are the following

Buy = MA_Med > MA_Long AND Cross(MA_Short, MA_Med);
Sell = Cross(MA_Med, MA_Short);

However, I only want to trade the first occurence of cross(MA_short,MA_Med).

I don't want to take another long trade until MA_Med has dipped below MA_Long and risen above MA_Long again and the Cross(short, med) situation occurs again.

I suspect it has something to do with the flip() function but I can't quite sus it out!

I've nearly worked it out with a loop, but I'm sure that it's not the correct way to use AFL.

Any help greatly appreciated!

TIA

Robert
