Indicators

An indicator call is a statement that fills an output array: INDICATOR_NAME(outputArray, symbol, timeframe, ...params). Read the result with [0] (current) and [1] (previous).

float[] sma20;
float[] rsi14;

onTick {
    INDICATOR_SMA(sma20, nifty, H1, 20, 1);
    INDICATOR_RSI(rsi14, nifty, M15, 14, 1);

    if (Close(nifty, M15, 0) > sma20[0] && rsi14[0] < 30) {
        OrderSend(nifty, BUY, 1, 0, 0, 0, INTRADAY, DAY, "pullback");
    }
}
