Moving Average Cross overs

[cptrader]

I have view the videos and manual.
Can Market Analyser be used to alert for a simple moving average cross over?

Yes, this is possible upon creating a custom indicator and load it in an Indicator column in the Market Analyzer. More information regarding creating custom indicators can be found at the link below.

MA cross over in Analyser

I have created the following indicator which works fine on my charts.
How would I adapt it so i could use it as a true false indicator in column in Analyser
if (CrossAbove(SMA(Close, 5), SMA(Close, 20), 1))
{CandleOutlineColor = Color.Red;
BarColor = Color.Yellow;
}

Hi cptrader, yes just create another indicator and use this snippet below as an idea -

[SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]if[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2] (CrossAbove(SMA(Close, [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]5[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]), SMA(Close, [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]20[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]), [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]1[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]))[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]{[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]trueFalse = [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]1[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2];[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]}[/SIZE]
[/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]else[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][SIZE=2] if (trueFalse == [/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]0)[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2]
 
[SIZE=2]Plot0.Set(trueFalse);[/SIZE]
[/SIZE]

You would of course need to define trueFalse as private double in your variables.

In the next step you can then reference these Plot values in your Market Analyzer alert or coloring conditions.
