Hi samuel.jus.cornelio,

Can you define what "touch" means? Do you mean the close price to be the same with the EMA or the EMA price to be between the open and close prices? In any case, both comparisons seem pretty straight forward. Let us know what is the difficulty for you.

I need to create an entry trigger.
This is when the current price is equal to the MME price.
But I don't know how to code this.

Hi samuel.jus.cornelio,

See an example below

using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {
        ExponentialMovingAverage _ema;
        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            _ema = Indicators.ExponentialMovingAverage(Bars.ClosePrices, 14);
        }


        protected override void OnTick()
        {

            if (_ema.Result.LastValue == Symbol.Bid)
            {
                // Execute trade
            }
        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            // Put your deinitialization logic here
        }
    }
}

I tried to apply the example, but when backtesting nothing happened. Below is the code and a photo of my screen

using System;

                        ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, Volume, "bot", StopLoss, TakeProfit);


            }

Hi samuel.jus.cornelio,

It is very rare the EMA to become equal to the price. You need to rethink your logic. Maybe your intentions are different to what you have written.

here is a picture of what i have in mind.
as I put in the code, the deal would start when the price touched or broke the EMA

Hi samuel.jus.cornelio,

So you need to check if the price is above or below the EMA accordingly and not if it is equal.

Hi samuel.jus.cornelio,

You need to change your conditions accordingly e.g.

if (_Ema1.Result.LastValue > Symbol.Bid)
