Hello, Im having trouble with the following code
"
{ alert criteria }
if AlertEnabled then
begin
if MAA1 crosses over MAA2 and MAA1 crosses over HullMovingAvg then
Alert( !( "Bullish alert" ) )
else if MAA1 crosses under MAA2 and MAA1 crosses under HullMovingAvg then
Alert( !( "Bearish alert" ) );
end;
"

I've combined three indicators into one and have attempted to have an alert sent to me when the variable MAA1 crosses over MAA2 and HullMovingAvg. usually they do not cross simultaneously so that may be the cause of my problem.

Hi, here's an example of several conditions being met on a 3 line MA cross.

Perhaps it will help you. It's from the TS studies library. I'm no coder but like messing around with EL.

{ Alert criteria }
if Displace <= 0 then
begin
Condition1 = Price > FastAvg and FastAvg > MedAvg and MedAvg > SlowAvg ;
if Condition1 and Condition1[1] = false then
Alert( "Bullish alert" )
else
begin
Condition2 = Price < FastAvg and FastAvg < MedAvg and MedAvg < SlowAvg ;
if Condition2 and Condition2[1] = false then
Alert( "Bearish alert" ) ;
end ;
end ;
end ;

Yep, the "and" in the IF statement means that both criteria must be true on the same bar for the entire IF statement to be true. You'll need to separate the two conditions. BTW, you might find the reserved word "Condition" to be helpful.

The two will rarely cross on the same bar. This code should be close to what you need.

{ alert criteria }

Vars: MACross(0), HullCross(0);
if AlertEnabled then
begin

if MAA1 >= MAA2
then MACross = +1
else MACross = -1;

if MAA1 >= HullMovingAvg
then HullCross = +1
else HullCross = -1;

if MACross + HullCross crosses over +1.5 then
Alert( !( "Bullish alert" ) );

if MACross + HullCross crosses under -1.5 then
Alert( !( "Bearish alert" ) );

end;
