CrossAbove for current bar.

[SuzyG]

If I set the lookBackPeriod to be 0, I get no result:

CrossAbove(EMA(10), SMA(20), 0)

Is this as expected?I can only see the crossover 1 bar later. Is it possible to know exactly when it occurs?

CrossAbove(EMA(10), SMA(20), 1) <-- this works fine.

Thank you.

That is correct since on the closeof a bar, you want to check for cross over condition on that bar which is now 1 bar ago, so the lookback period would be 1. There is no way to check what bar the actual cross over happened if your lookback period is greater than 1.
