Updated XT Basic MA Crossover
The XT Basic MA Crossover is designed to introduce the use of dynamic variables to your alert messages. Unlike the XT Up/Down Bar Indicator, which preloads the payload into the TradingView alert Message field, strategies do not support this functionality.
You will need to copy and paste into the message window for the alert to work using the strategy actions.
Example Alert Message:
```
key=Your CrossTrade Secret Key;
command=PLACE;
account=sim101;
instrument=ES 12-24;
action={{strategy.order.action}}
qty={{strategy.order.quantity}};
order_type=MARKET;
tif=DAY;
flatten_first=true;
```
You'll need to add your secret key to the message between = and ;
Correct: key=123456789123456789;
Incorrect: key=Your CrossTrade Secret Key123456789123456789;
You'll also need to add your webhook URL to the Notifications tab on the alert.
Visual Signals: The strategy is a simple moving average crossover using a 2 period MA to simulate a lot of frequent trades.
You can also add stops and targets to your strategy alerts by adding "take_profit" and "stop_loss" values to the message. This can be supplied as numerical values, percentages, or tick based values. Learn More.
