I am trying to code these statements....
PHP Code:
If (" supertrend is green " && Ask < Supertrend) {
OPENBUY();
}
If (" supertrend is pink " && Bid > Supertrend) {
OPENSELL();
}
What are the values of Supertrend? How do you distinguish Pink and Green?
But I cannot figure out how to get it working..... Thanks for your help.
