Hello cincai,

Thank you for your post.

You can check for either a CrossAbove or CrossBelow condition with a user defined look back period in the Strategy Builder. The look back period sets the number of bars to look back to check for the cross over condition. When creating a condition you would use the middle drop-down menu in the Condition Builder to set the condition to CrossAbove or CrossBelow.

Please review this help guide documentation about creating crossover conditions using the Strategy Builder - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...sOverCondition

User inputs are simply variables that can be used in place of absolute values. User variables (not to be confused with inputs) behave in the same manner with the exception that they can not be configured when starting a strategy but can only be set programmatically during run time. User variables would be set in the strategy logic through the Condition Builder.

See this help guide documentation for more information about using user inputs and variables in the Condition Builder - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...tsAndVariables
