user defined method

[caliope]

The following compiles without issue within a strategy:

CrossAbove(SMA(14), SMA(12), 8);

However, within a user defined method (UDM), the same code will not compile.

I have passed the IDataSeries into the UDM, and manually created Indicators within the UDM

	public string getSummary(IDataSeries o, IDataSeries h, IDataSeries l, IDataSeries c, IDataSeries v){
		string retVal = "";
		op = o;
		hi = h;
		lo = l;
		cl = c;
		vol = v;
		
		retVal += getClose().ToString("F2")  + ",\t";
		retVal += tRSI.RSI(cl, 14, 0)[0].ToString("F2") + ",\t";
		CrossAbove( tSMA.SMA(cl, 20), tSMA.SMA(cl, 40), 5 );
		retVal += tSMA.SMA(cl, 20);
		
		return(retVal);
	}

the above getSummary is within a class in

namespace NinjaTrader.Strategy

any ideas why CrossAbove() is not available? What am I missing?
