CrossAbove and CrossBelow

[dv926844]

Hi EV,

Help me pleace to make clear how to use CrossAbove and CrossBelow functions.
I have my custom indicator which sets plot on some value(for example it sets the average of the first bar of the session).
How do I use CrossAbove or CrossBelow function to trigger that Low[0] or High[0] values crossed my plot
I've tried something like this:

CrossAbove( Algo(lev1,  startTime, width).O1,Low[0], 1)

CrossAbove( Algo(lev1,  startTime, width).O1,Low[0], 0)

CrossAbove( Low[0], Algo(lev1,  startTime, width).O1, 0)

Algo(lev1, startTime, width).O1 - it's my indicator which shows the average of the first bar

Hello dv926844,

Thanks for your post.

In the CrossAbove and CrossBelow methods, the crossing dataseries must be listed first, the crossed value can be a static/fixed value or another dataseries.

Try using the Low as the crossing data series and your plot as the crossed dataseries.

CrossAbove( Low, Algo(lev1, startTime, width).O1, 1)
