Alignment of MA for the first time

Optuma Scripting
1

Hii I am using below formula for MA aligning for the first time but its not working. Any ideas?



v1=MA(STYLE=Exponential, BARS=21, CALC=Close) > MA(BARS=50, STYLE=Exponential, CALC=Close) > MA(BARS=100, CALC=Close, STYLE=Exponential) > MA(BARS=150, STYLE=Exponential, CALC=Close) > MA(BARS=200, STYLE=Exponential, CALC=Close); v1 ChangeTo 1



            


            

              
              
              
            


            

                
                
              


          

          

            

              



              
                  
                  
              2
              
            

            

              
Hi Deepak,


What do you mean by aligning? Can you please provide more information?


Also please try to format the scripts so they are a little easier for us all to read.


All the best

Hiii Sir,


I wanted to know when the MA make the following condition true for the first time.


MA 21 > MA 50

MA 50 > MA 100

MA 100 > MA 150

MA 150 > MA 200


For this i have used following code.


v1=MA(STYLE=Exponential, BARS=21, CALC=Close) > MA(BARS=50, STYLE=Exponential, CALC=Close) > 
MA(BARS=100, CALC=Close, STYLE=Exponential) > MA(BARS=150, STYLE=Exponential, CALC=Close) > 
MA(BARS=200, STYLE=Exponential, CALC=Close); v1 ChangeTo 1



Regards,

Deepak

Hi,


You’re looking for several criteria to be true at once, so you need to have them connected via AND operators.


Example:


V1 = MA(BARS=21, STYLE=Exponential, CALC=Close) ;
V2 = MA(BARS=50, STYLE=Exponential, CALC=Close) ;
V3 = MA(BARS=100, STYLE=Exponential, CALC=Close) ;
V4 = MA(BARS=150, STYLE=Exponential, CALC=Close) ;
V5 = MA(BARS=200, STYLE=Exponential, CALC=Close) ;
V6 = V1  > V2 and V2 > V3 and V3 > V4 and V4 > V5;
BARSTRUE(V6) == 1


You can then use the BARSTRUE() function to find the first bar where this criteria swaps from False to True.


On a chart it looks like this (Show View along the bottom).


Ex5


After triggering, it won’t trigger again until the criteria goes back to False, then is met once more.

            


            

              
              
              
            


            

                
                
              


          

          

            

              



              
                  
                  
              5
              
            

            

              
Hii Sir,


I used the suggested formula however the results are different.


MA alignment


Cant i use change to function.

Hi,


If you prefer to use ChangeTo you can.  It’s a simple adjustment to the final line.


V1 = MA(BARS=21, STYLE=Exponential, CALC=Close) ;
V2 = MA(BARS=50, STYLE=Exponential, CALC=Close) ;
V3 = MA(BARS=100, STYLE=Exponential, CALC=Close) ;
V4 = MA(BARS=150, STYLE=Exponential, CALC=Close) ;
V5 = MA(BARS=200, STYLE=Exponential, CALC=Close) ;
V6 = V1 > V2 and V2 > V3 and V3 > V4 and V4 > V5;
V6 ChangeTo 1
