calculating differences between 2 SMA

[MoreYummy]

Is there a way to calculate differences between 2 SMA using strategy, and if at certain distance, the condition is true.

I only see >= and <=, but nothing says larger(smaller) by a certain tick.

Any way to do this?

If it doesn't matter which SMA is above the other you can do something like...

if(Math.Abs(SMA1 - SMA2) >= someValue)
{
//insert logic here
}

if it does matter which is greater than the other just add
&& sma1 > sma2

or

&& sma1 < sma2

hope this helps

Thanks. Yes in my case, which one is above which matters.

So I will have 2 "if"s for above, and below.

[mrlogik]

yes

if(Math.Abs(SMA1 - SMA2) >= someValue && SMA1 > SMA2)
{
//logic 1 here
}
else if(Math.Abs(SMA1 - SMA2) >= someValue && SMA1 < SMA2)
{
//logic 2 here
}

Also remember if you want "some" tick value to use TickSize.

10 * TickSize

Thanks for advice, guys.
