dOES ANYONE HAVE ANY CODE THAT I CAN ADD TO MY THREE EXP AVERAGE STATEGEY TO NOT INITIATE A TRADE UNLESS IT IS ABOVE OR BELOW THE 50 EMA?. THIS IS FOR MY AUTOTRADING STATEGY ALSO HOW TO ADD A TIMEFRAME IT CAN TRADE.

Please turn off the Capslock. Then post the code you already have so we can take a look at it. Bonus points if you clarify your question.

I just want to add to not take a trade short if price is above the 50 ema and vice versa

I assumed that your `SlowLength` input is manually set to 50 since I couldn't find an EMA 50. Here I just added the condition that compares the `Close` value against the `var2` variable, which holds the EMA of the `SlowLength` period:

Code

Inputs: 
	Price( Close ), FastLength(4 ), MedLength(5 ), SlowLength(8) ;

variables: 
	var0( 0 ), var1( 0 ), var2( 0 ) ;

var0 = XAverage( Price, FastLength ) ;
var1 = XAverage( Price, MedLength ) ;
var2 = XAverage( Price, SlowLength ) ;

Condition1 = Price < var0 and var0 < var1 and var1 < var2 ;
condition2 = CurrentBar > 1 and Condition1 and Condition1[1] = false;

if (condition2 and Close < var2) then
	Sell Short ( "MA3CrsSE" ) next bar at market;

Condition1 = Price > var0 and var0 > var1 and var1 > var2 ;

condition2 = CurrentBar > 1 and Condition1 and Condition1[1] = false;

if (condition2 and Close > var2) then
	Buy ( "MA3CrsLE" ) next bar at market ;

Is this what you meant?

You are right i manually plot the 50 ema on the screen however i would like it to leave those conditions the same accept add that it will not take a short trade it it is above the 50 ema and vice versa, where would i inserst 50 at

Hm, I believe I already added that to the code (see my previous post + motivation).

Did I misunderstand you or doesn't it work for you?

It did not work, i used it and it did not make a difference, so i dont know if i explained myself. I need the three ema that i have to only fire a signal if it is above or below the 50 ema, so i would assume that i have to add that rule somehow to the code that i have, can you do that for me PLEASE. I really appreciate what you done for me so far.

Ah I see, I misunderstood you; I thought you configured the signal to an EMA 50 but now I understand that you plotted the EMA50 on the chart (so an indicator).

I've updated your code to include a 50-period EMA now. The input for it is named `SlowerLength`. Try to see if this works for you:

Code

Inputs: 
	Price(Close), 
	FastLength(4), 
	MedLength(5), 
	SlowLength(8),
	SlowerLength(50);

Variables:
	emaQuick(0), emaMed(0), emaSlow(0), emaSlower(0);

emaQuick = XAverage(Price, FastLength);
emaMed = XAverage(Price, MedLength);
emaSlow = XAverage(Price, SlowLength);
emaSlower = XAverage(Price, SlowerLength);

Condition1 = Price < emaQuick and emaQuick < emaMed and emaMed < emaSlow;
condition2 = CurrentBar > 1 and Condition1 and Condition1[1] = false;

if (condition2 and Close < emaSlower) then
	Sell Short ( "MA3CrsSE" ) next bar at market;

Condition1 = Price > emaQuick and emaQuick > emaMed and emaMed > emaSlow;

condition2 = CurrentBar > 1 and Condition1 and Condition1[1] = false;

if (condition2 and Close > emaSlower) then
	Buy ( "MA3CrsLE" ) next bar at market ;

YOU ARE THE MAN, GOD BLESS YOU, IT WORKS.
