Question? Very simple new to TOS formula construction

How do you write C > 20sma ?

My attempt...

input price = close;
input length1 = 20;
input averageType1 = AverageType.Simple;
input averageType2 = AverageType.Simple;
input crossingType = {default above, below}

def avg1 = MovingAverage(averageType1, price, length1);
def SMA1 = MovingAverage (averageType.SIMPLE,close,20);

def avg1 = MovingAverage(averageType1, price, length1);
def Cros1 = crosses (SMA1,crossingDirection.ANY);

plot signal = Cros1;

Question? Very simple new to TOS formula construction

How do you write C > 20sma ?

plot signal = Cros1;

plot signal = close is greater than SimpleMovingAvg("length" = 20)."SMA";

or

plot signal = close crosses above SimpleMovingAvg("length" = 20)."SMA";

I do run my charts on a 2 min time factor
How ever this morning it's not show as much profit like on TSLA as other strats I have
TSLA on this is 180 Fri it was 2700
TSLA on my highest is 2542

I'm finding out NO Strategy will work always. Some days they make you good returns and others they lose big, and can change mid day.

You are sitting on a gold mine and don't recognize your opportunity! Find out WHY the returns degrade. Then you will be getting somewhere. I suspect adverse news events are working against you. But you need to filter through the scenarios and find
your gold.

I laughed at this advice when I got it, but then soon found out it was gospel.

Good Luck,

Well the advice I gave you has proved to be somewhat inaccurate, I now have developed a strategy that seams to profit on almost every stock, and everyday. However I am waiting to TEST it in simulation next week when I have a day off. will let you know. Just wish we could automate TOS, that way I could test it with the simulated account for sure.

Ok I have set up Alerts, what coding do I need to add to the Alert to get the price at the time of the alert. to set as the price + a % to buy or sell at
