Hello everyone.
I am using this strategy successfully, but now I wanted it to trade for me when I am away (as I just missed out on 30 pips, which is not nice after several losses to miss out on a profit ) but as I put that in, gave all its variables it started giving me a log after a random candle opened (not a cross at all). And it didnt open a trade, but it is giving me logs… and as I am typing this the logs went up from 30 to 145 at the moment. The log says: [string “MA crossover Strategy.lua”] Cannot recognize the host command.
Up to 180 logs now.
Anyone any ideas on whats going on here? and how to fix it?

What Trade Station version do you use?
AFAIK this stategy requires 01.09.101210 version installed or autotrading patch installed over older versions. I strongly recommend to update up to the latest version.

I am using marketscope 2.0. and when I click check for updates it says that there are no updates available (I installed it late august 2010).

Have you downloaded the patch and added the strategy to your cutsom strategies?
And congrats on winning one of the FXCM micro questions

Hi, is it possible to add to the strategies/signals based on MA more options for MA methods? Specifically, at the moment, I’m looking for WMA/ MA crossover strategy. Thanks.
Re: MA Crossover Strytegy
luciana · Thu Jan 27, 2011 9:38 am
Can be the WMA added to the MA based startegy/signals to be able to include it into my own strategy ? Yes, No, Maybe…Thanks in advance.
Re: MA Crossover Strytegy
Apprentice · Thu Jan 27, 2011 12:43 pm
Yes you can use it. Wilders Smoothing (Wilders Moving Average) is added in this strategy.
Re: MA Crossover Strytegy
luciana · Thu Jan 27, 2011 2:20 pm
Hi, thank you for your replay. Under smoothing method (MA crossover strategy proprieties), the WMA is not listed; only MVA, EMA and LWMA are. Thanks.
Re: MA Crossover Strytegy
Apprentice · Thu Jan 27, 2011 6:26 pm
Wilder or WMA is available. Or Do you think about weight moving average. Sometimes the confusion arises
Re: MA Crossover Strytegy
luciana · Thu Jan 27, 2011 9:17 pm
It is about Wilder - I used the Macross that was already set up a while ago on my computer, although I had loaded the MA crossover strategy. The Macross has no Wilder as I mentioned as per the screenshot:
Re: MA Crossover Strytegy
Apprentice · Fri Jan 28, 2011 3:44 am
You have to be exact. This is the first time you mention Macros. Until now, you mentioned MA crossover Strategy or you not mentioned anything
Re: MA Crossover Strategy
luciana · Fri Jan 28, 2011 9:04 am
Very true, because I use them for alerts, and for this purpose are both the same, less the MA smoothing methods. Thank you for yours tremendous work to help us. All my best.

station0524 · Sat May 21, 2011 4:34 pm
I have the same problem with both this strategy and the Three MA Strategy. When I apply them to my charts, nothing happens, no signals, nothing happens. Same with trying to back test. Sub chart appears but again no signals or testing. Is there something that I have to enable or do to make them function?
Re: MA Crossover Strategy
MoonValley · Sat May 28, 2011 1:45 am
Hi apprentice,
Thanks for this strategy! I’ve just been testing it and it seems useful so far.
Can you make a little adjustment to this strategy that makes it respect the default 200 SMA in Marketscope 2.0, which means it will not signal or take any trade against the 200 SMA. E.g. if it is set to trade a m5 chart and the currency pair is trading below the 200 SMA, it takes only short positions and ignors any long signal. Similarly when the price goes above the 200 SMA, it goes on taking only long possitions and ignoring any short signal.
I’m not a programmer, but I think it only takes a couple of lines of coding
Thanks again,
MoonValley

station0524 · Sat Jun 11, 2011 11:00 pm
Should probably post this in the posting about the 20 in 1 indicator but have done that with no reply. Is it possible to add KAMA to the averages ? Also the strategy won’t let one use stop and limit orders. Why is that?
Re: MA Crossover Strategy
Apprentice · Sun Jun 12, 2011 5:48 am
First. Answered within the original topic. Second. According to information I have, Limit and Stop orders are No No (forbidden) for U.S. residents, accounts.
Re: MA Crossover Strategy
station0524 · Mon Jun 13, 2011 10:00 pm
Of course one can place stop and limit orders in the US. “FIFO” only means first in first out, meaning if you have more than one position when the limit or stop order is triggered that order will affect the first position entered.
Re: MA Crossover Strategy
Apprentice · Tue Jun 14, 2011 11:43 am
station0524 Can you test the new version. It seems that the problem in the template that I used.
Re: MA Crossover Strategy
station0524 · Thu Jun 16, 2011 1:24 pm
It works if you set it to a Non hedging account and not a US account. The system then enters stop and limit orders no matter if your trading in the US. I have another request though, hope you can help. I added the strategy twice on the same chart with different settings, meaning different stop and limit orders for the two strategies. However, when trades are entered, even though two trades are entered it will only use the stop and limit orders from the one strategy on both trades and ignore the stop and limit settings of the second strategy. I have tried to fix this but don’t know why it does that. I was even thinking of renaming the strategy so I have the same strategy with different names. Would that help? Any advice would be appreciated.
Re: MA Crossover Strategy
station0524 · Tue Jun 28, 2011 12:13 am
Apprentice, Two questions/requests if you don’t mind and have the time. First one really pertains to the 20 in 1 AVERAGES but as we use it with this strategy thought I’d ask here, Already asked before for “KAMA” to be added and was wondering if you have any idea how long it would be?
Second. I use a very successful trading system with this strategy by using the strategy on a 15min and 60min chart and only entering trades on the 15min chart if the strategy already is in the same direction on the 60min chart. I do this by monitoring the signals and entering manually. Do you think it is possible to write a program that can do this for example if the strategy shows to be short on the 60min chart then ignore long signals and only take short trades on the 15min chart? It would be great to be able to do this with all time frames.

1st Alex is committed to KAMA Averages expansion. 2nd This is possible. Post your request with detailed descriptions, within the appropriate topic.
Re: MA Crossover Strategy
abreumr · Wed Jun 29, 2011 7:22 am
I would like to know if it is possible to add an OSMA filter in this strategy. I mean if the OSMA is positive than it should open long trades only and if OSMA is negative should look for short positions.
Thanks
Re: MA Crossover Strategy
Apprentice · Wed Jun 29, 2011 8:44 am
It is possible.

Re: MA Crossover Strategy
station0524 · Mon Sep 05, 2011 7:28 pm
Even though KAMA was added to the Averages indicator, when one tries to use the MA crossover Strategy, KAMA does not appear as one of the choices for fast or slow MA. Why not?
Re: MA Crossover Strategy
sunshine · Tue Sep 06, 2011 12:23 am
Please find the strategy with support of the KAMA method in the attachment.

mgammal · Thu Sep 15, 2011 1:36 pm
Hello Apprentice/Sunshine … i hope you are well as you read my post. Can you please help me in modifying this strategy by 2 things:
1) adding a reverse possibility: so instead of buying when it signals a buy, it sells, and vice versa. 2) i would like the strategy NOT to close the trade when a counter signal happens, so if MA crossover again i dont want my trade to close. I would like my trade to close only on my set TP and SL ..
Thanks alot for your help guys.. i really appreciate it

Re: MA Crossover Strategy
Journeyman · Fri Oct 28, 2011 12:05 am
What a brilliant strategy!
Just one warning, though. If you change the settings after the initial signal has been generated, ie when the lines cross, the next trade will not activate until they cross back over again. This is probably the same for all strategies, but only this one has so far been worth any input.
Also, is there any way to stop the “trade open” dialogue box? It’s really annoying.
Might I suggest that users post their settings. It took me a week of fine tuning before I got them right.

This is one of the best strategies available in this entire program, if used correctly. Furthermore, I would like to request the addition of the JRX (Jurik Ultralinear Smoothing) as a choice amongst the moving averages. I hope it can be done. Thanks in advance.

Re: MA Crossover Strategy
Melchizedek · Thu Nov 29, 2012 3:04 am
Question on what this strategy does: I’m still new to some of the lingo. Does this basically alert you when one MA crosses another? Or does it implement trades too?
I’m simply looking for an alert when an EMA crosses an MA. I may not want the trade based on other conditions, but I want an email alert.
Please let me know if this is that type of strategy/alert. If it’s not, and there isn’t one, let me know and I’ll make the official request in a new thread.
THANKS!
Re: MA Crossover Strategy
Apprentice · Thu Nov 29, 2012 3:59 am
This strategy can do both. If you want Alerts only, set Allow strategy to trade to NO.

Hi Apprentice,
I love this strategy so much. Is there a way I can execute a buy order when the second bar close is higher than the high of the crossover bar(.i.e. the bar when the MA crossover)? The reverse being true for the sell order. Thanks and await your prompt response.
Re: MA Crossover Strategy
Apprentice · Mon Mar 25, 2013 5:22 pm
You mean As an additional filter. Yes

Re: MA Crossover Strategy
rittorno · Wed May 15, 2013 8:29 am
Apprentice, I really like your MA Strategy but I want to add an additional condition for exiting a position that would be triggered based on price crossing one of the averages (ie, EMA, T3, SMA)
I’m sure you are extremely busy but if you could point me in the right direction or post sample code for checking a price crossing and average it would be greatly appropriated.
Thanks

Is it possible to code this strategy:
Ma (20 in 1) - Price Level (User Defined, eg. 1.0040 etc) crossover
Buy: Cross Over Sell: Cross Under.
Thanks Xpertizetrading
Re: MA Crossover Strategy
Apprentice · Tue May 26, 2015 3:37 am
So you’re not interested in the Price / MA cross as in this example. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=3859&hilit=averages You’re interested in MA / Level Cross.
