Hi all, working on my algorithm and appreciate all the help I'm getting on these forums!
I'm having a few more problems that I've searched around and have been unable to solve. The first problem is that I don't think it is pulling the EMAs properly, for instance the algorithm buys EURUSD at 19:00 on 4/02 and I believe I have it coded that it should only buy if it is not currently long and the 13EMA is greater than the 48EMA, however on my charting platform at that time I have the 13EMA considerably under the 48EMA and a buy crossover doesn't occur until 22:00 on 4/04.
The next problem I'm having is it seems that whenever a crossover happens for one symbol, it seems to be buying or selling all of them at the same time. I may be mistaken as I'm still learning this language but I thought the foreach() should take care of that so that it's running each symbol from the string separately and it's not.
I really appreciate it, thank you!

Hi William Patterson , there are a few bugs in your algorithm:
you need one set of EMAs and one RollingWindow for each symbol, otherwise you are overwriting the variables with the EMAs and RollingWindow of the last symbol in the list.
Here is the modified algorithm:

In our experience, when there is a mismatch between our indicators and those from other platforms it can be explained by differences in the bars. A bar can be difference because the data is different or the openning/closing time of the bar is slightly difference.
Please checkout the docs under Charting section and use our data to verify your indicators and trading signals to be coherent.

Thank you y'all!
