CrossAbove iSeries Logic

[itsthefriz]

Hi, I have a question regarding the CrossAbove function as it relates to the iSeries inputs? I have a value which is some weighted signals we'll call Weighted_Signal_Value which, when it goes beyond a threshhold LongEntryVal, I'd like it to enter long or draw on arrow on my chart. Currently I have

if (IsFirstTickOfBar)
{
     if(CrossAbove(Weighted_Signal_Value[0], LongEntryVal, 2))
     {
      Draw.ArrowUp(this,"arrow"+CurrentBar, false, 0, Low[0]-2*TickSize, null);
//    EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity),@"LongEntry");
     }

}

However the code won't compile. Is the iSeries<double> limited to indicator values or price history, or is there an issue with the syntax?

Hi, thanks for posting.

You are passing Weighted_Signal_Value[0] which is a single index in the series. Pass the entire series instead:

if(CrossAbove(Weighted_Signal_Value, LongEntryVal, 2))
