Hello everyone,

What a great platform Ninja is! I've just downloaded the platform last week and tested out some historical futures data which worked great!

I am trying to re-code the programming created in Excel to suit NT and my question is:

With a simple moving average cross-over, how can I program a difference between the middle bollinger (SMA20) and a fast SMA(5). I would like to see for example a difference of 10 or 20 points after a cross-0ver occurs before initiating an entry signal?

How do you do this?
If its been answered in another section can someone please direct me to that area?

Thanks and good trading

I think if you use the 'offset' field in the condition builder it should give you the desired result.

Thanks for that. I'll play around in the condition builder and see if it works.
