Exiting Trade under 20MA

[gsungar]

How do I use the formula wizard to program an exit that will get me out of a trade when the price bar crosses under the 20 day moving average. I put it sell market and it closes at the open of the bar or I sell close and it sells at the close of the bar for backtesting. How do I get it to sell as it crosses the 20MA instead.

Thank you

You would use the Strategy.STOP or Strategy.LIMIT filltypes which allow you to specify the price.
You may want to review the Back Testing Tutorials 1-3 which are available in the Help Guides and Tutorials folder of the EFS KnowledgeBase
