Hello Hahn,

I wanted to know if you could create a chart label for the 5 minute chart. The label conditions should be

 

If the price (close) is above the 9EMA on chart, THEN label should say “COVER SHORT” with a green background)

If the price (close) is below the 9EMA on chart, THEN label should say “Ready for SHORT” with a red background).

This request is so similar to several others that I seriously considered just linking to those previous posts. Seems that after showing so many different examples of how to do this…..

I understand. It seems easy to me because this is what I do for a living. It is what I love to do and I am very grateful to have an audience to serve.

input length = 9;
def ema = ExpAverage(close, length);
AddLabel(yes, if close > ema then "COVER SHORT" else "Ready for SHORT", if close > ema then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

Best of luck to you in your trading!

To expand on this request, and modify the code

If the price (close) is below the 9EMA on chart AND the daily volume is over 1.5mil, THEN label should say “Ready for SHORT” with a red background)

This modification would create a third condition. You will need to define the text and background color you would use when close is less than ema but volume is less than 1.5 mil.

when close is less than ema but volume is less than 1.5 mil.= red back ground (Ready for short)

when close is above ema regardless of volume= (grey background) DO NOT SHORT

when the close is above the ema with more than 1.5mil volume= (grey background) DO NOT SHORT Volume over limit!

I am completely confused now. Taking your entire list of specifications into account I have the following list:

1. Close is above the 9EMA: “COVER SHORT”
2. Close is below the 9EMA: “Ready for SHORT”
3. Close is below the 9EMA AND the daily volume is over 1.5mil: “Ready for SHORT”
4. Close is less than ema but volume is less than 1.5 mil: “Ready for short”
5. Close is above ema regardless of volume: “DO NOT SHORT”
6. Close is above the ema with more than 1.5mil volume: “DO NOT SHORT Volume over limit!”

Items 1 and 5 are contradictory. Items 2 and 3 are identical. I believe this has gone completely off the rails. This is going to confuse everyone trying to follow this post. I do not wish to continue.
