Creating a Buy/Sell signal program.

Seeking Help ETFs

Hello All,

I just signed up and am going through the beginning tutorials. I wanted to ask if it is possible to create a program that uses RSI, MACD, and 10, 20, 50, 100, and, 200 SMA, to indicate when to enter a Call/Put trade in SPY (context.spy = sid(8554).

I have been cutting and pasting example from the instruction, and modifying the code to only show SPY. In my personal account I only trade the SPY buying calls and/or puts.

The ideal program will monitor the 1 min time duration, and signal the entry of a call or the entry of a put position.

I don't think I need to have a base starting amount, or commission and fees since I will be entering and exiting the trade manually.

Thank you for your time,
Greg
