Examples

Accessing triggers within a system
CopyC#
// Create the trigger in the Startup() function
public override void Startup()
{
     // Creates a crossover trigger.  This assumes that the two
     // series named SMA5 and SMA20 are created and valid.
     Triggers["SMAX"].CreateTrigger(new CrossOver());
     Triggers["SMAX"].SetSeriesInputs("SMA5","SMA20");
     // ...
}

// Evaluating the trigger in the NewSymbolBar() function
public override void NewSymbolBar(Symbol symbol, BarData bar)
{
     // Whenever our trigger is hit, open a new position
     if (Triggers["SMAX"][symbol].IsTriggered)
     {
         SystemData.OpenPosition(symbol, PositionType.Long, OrderType.Market);
     }
}
CopyVisual Basic.Net
Public Overloads Overrides Sub Startup() 
     ' Creates a crossover trigger.  This assumes that the two
     ' series named SMA5 and SMA20 are created and valid.
     Triggers("SMAX").CreateTrigger(New CrossOver) 
     Triggers("SMAX").SetSeriesInputs("SMA5", "SMA20") 
 End Sub 

 ' Evaluating the trigger in the NewSymbolBar() function
 Public Overloads Overrides Sub NewSymbolBar(ByVal symbol As Symbol, ByVal bar As BarData) 
     ' Whenever our trigger is hit, open a new position
     If Triggers("SMAX")(symbol).IsTriggered Then 
         SystemData.OpenPosition(symbol, PositionType.Long, OrderType.Market) 
     End If 
 End Sub
