MACD Difference

[AngryErik]

I'm sure this has been asked before... I did searches for MACD Difference, and similar, but I wasn't able to find something similar to what I want. Probably just a pebkac.

Consider the following condition:

 
if (MACD(12,26,9).Diff[0] > MACD(12,26,9).Diff[1]){
dosomething();
}

I get compiler errors with a statement such as this. The errors are logical, so I guess I just need to know how to get at the actual difference at a particular point and time. Compiler errors are:

'NinjaTrader.Strategy.Strategy.MACD(int, int, int)' is a 'method', which is not valid in the given context
 
Operator '<' cannot be applied to operands of type 'bool' and 'double'

My oversimplification of the problem appeared to be the problem. In attempting to simplify my intent, I inadvertently provided code that works.

My goal was to do something along the lines of MACD.Diff[0] > MACD.Diff[10] > MACD.Diff[15]... not realizing that the first two would evaluate to a boolean, which obviously cannot be compared to a value.

Pebkac. Sorry to take your time.
