  • Dual Confirmation Strategy?

    How does one write a strategy based on dual confirmation from two different symbols, in this case the Dow Jones and the Transports?

    I'm looking for a long/short strategy on the YM e-mini when BOTH the Dow and Transports cross above/below their 3-Day EMA, but plotted/backtested on the YM. And perhaps modifiable on both the symbols and the EMA for other indices for similar confirmation type strategies.

    Thanks!

    Solution...

    You could use global variables to control and store conditional values from two different chart, then have the system execute on one of the charts..

    or...

    You could use getValue() to pull in data from another chart (like the closing price), then try to execute your system with this information.

    If you system is complex, then I would think using global variables would be easier - but only allowing your system to work in RT mode (no back-testing).
