Syntax Problems

[skat100]

In the following condition:

// Condition set 2
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat
&& CrossBelow(LinReg(Close, 15), (LinReg(Close, 2) - bBuff), 1))
{
EnterShort(n, "SS.LRx");
}

I get an error message ojectiong to the - operand in (-bBuff).

How can I apply a buffer, such as an addition or subtraction of value, from one of the elements of a crossover strategy?

You need to be subtracting that buffer from the actual value of the LinReg and not the DataSeries.

LinReg(Close, 2)[0] - bBuff

LinReg(Close, 2)[0] - bBuff

Is this the way it should read? (I have add the [0] to both legs of the condition?

// Condition set 2
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat
&& CrossBelow(LinReg(Close, 15)[0], (LinReg(Close, 2)[0] - bBuff), 1))
{
EnterShort(n, "SS.LRx");
}

Skat100,

No, you need the first one as a DataSeries.

You want a DataSeries to cross a specific double value.
