How to program moving avg is Above or Below another

[krakken]

How do i program if a set of moving averages is below or above another moving average to execute a trade. Not a crossabove or crossbelow. But simply above or below. I tried using the following but get an error:

if (CrossAbove(LinReg(10), SMA(9), 1) && ToTime(Time[0]) >= ToTime(startHour, startMin, 0)
&& ToTime(Time[0]) <= ToTime(endHour, endMin, 0) && (LinReg(10) && SMA(9) > SMA(14)))
{
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "buy");

Hi krakken,

You can compare above or below using < or > operators.

These types of expressions can be created using the strategy wizard condition builder, and is a good place to start if you are unsure the code syntax.

I get the following compile error.
Operator '>' cannot be applied to operands of type 'NinjaTrader.Indicator.SMA' and 'NinjaTrader.Indicator.SMA'

You need to apply indexing to the SMAs:
SMA(9)[0] > SMA(14)[0]

This expression can easily be created with your mouse in point and click strategy wizard. After you create it, click view code to see the syntax. Strategy wizard is great for identifying syntax for these types of conditions. You can still copy - paste the generated code into another script if you want to work in code.
