Q: Example conditions

| Condition | Meaning | |-----------|---------| | `Price > SMA(200)` | Uptrend confirmation | | `Price cross_over EMA(20)` | Price just crossed above EMA — potential entry | | `Price cross_under SMA(50)` | Price just crossed below SMA — potential exit | | `Price > BB Upper` | Bollinger breakout |

Question 1

What is the Price filter?

Accepted Answer

The Price filter allows you to create conditions based on the current closing price of the asset. This is one of the most fundamental building blocks for any trading strategy.

Question 2

How it works

Accepted Answer

When you select "Price" as an indicator, the engine uses the **closing price** of each candle for comparison. This is the most common price reference in technical analysis.

Question 3

Price vs. Moving Average

Accepted Answer

Compare price to a moving average to determine trend direction: - **Price > SMA(200)** — Price is above the 200-period moving average (bullish) - **Price < EMA(50)** — Price is below the 50-period EMA (bearish)

Question 4

Price vs. Bollinger Bands

Accepted Answer

- **Price > BB Upper** — Price broke above the upper Bollinger Band (potential reversal or breakout) - **Price < BB Lower** — Price broke below the lower Bollinger Band

Question 5

Price vs. Fixed Value

Accepted Answer

- **Price > 50000** — Bitcoin is above $50,000 - **Price < 100** — Stock is below $100

Question 6

Example conditions

Accepted Answer

| Condition | Meaning | |-----------|---------| | `Price > SMA(200)` | Uptrend confirmation | | `Price cross_over EMA(20)` | Price just crossed above EMA — potential entry | | `Price cross_under SMA(50)` | Price just crossed below SMA — potential exit | | `Price > BB Upper` | Bollinger breakout |

Question 7

Multi-Timeframe Price Conditions

Accepted Answer

You can use price conditions on different timeframes for stronger signals: | Condition | Purpose | |-----------|---------| | Price on 1D > SMA(200) on 1D | Confirm long-term uptrend | | Price on 1H cross_over EMA(20) on 1H | Time the entry on lower timeframe | | Price on 4H > VWAP on 4H | Intraday bullish bias confirmation | This approach combines higher-timeframe trend filters with lower-timeframe entry signals, reducing false entries while maintaining good timing.

Question 8

Advanced Combinations

Accepted Answer

Price works best when combined with other condition types: - **Price + Volume:** `Price cross_over SMA(20)` AND `Volume > SMA(20, Volume)` — breakout with volume confirmation - **Price + Oscillator:** `Price SMA(200)` AND `MACD cross_over Signal` — trend-following entry

Question 9

Tips

Accepted Answer

- Price conditions always use the main chart timeframe - Combine price with momentum indicators (RSI, MACD) for stronger signals - Use cross_over/cross_under for entry timing, and greater_than/less_than for trend filters - Fixed price values (e.g., Price > 50000) need periodic adjustment as markets evolve - Price crossovers with moving averages are among the most widely used signals in technical analysis
