Crossabove not working as expected

[shankar.deshapande]

hi ,

i have written below code to check crossabove and crossbelow of Supertrend with close[0] , so when ever CrossBelow happens it writtens true as expected but when crossAbove happens it writtens false . can u let me know what mistake i am doing?

Print(Time[0] +"above="+CrossAbove(STV1NEWIND11(Close, 22, 1, false),Close,1));
Print(Time[0]+"below="+CrossBelow(STV1NEWIND11(Close, 22, 1, false),Close,1));

Hello shankar.deshapande,

You would need to output the indicator and price values for the current and previous bar to get a better idea of what may have happened in that use case. The reporting of true/false is only helpful to know that the method worked or not, it won't provide any insight on why without knowing the indicator plot values.

If you are comparing to a visual indicator that you manually applied that may also be the problem, using Prints would be the suggestion to verify if a crossing had actually occurred in the price data of the indicator.

05/04/2022 19:16:00above=FalseSTV1NEWIND11(Close, 22, 1, false)=STV1NEWIND11(MCL 05-22 (1 Minute),false,1,22)==close==>104.28
05/04/2022 19:16:00below=TrueSTV1NEWIND11(Close, 22, 1, false)=STV1NEWIND11(MCL 05-22 (1 Minute),false,1,22)==close==>104.28

Hello shankar.deshapande,

From the print we can see the method is working at least at that point so the other should also be working as well. If you are not seeing true then the method did not detect a crossing. To better understand why that specific bar was false you would have to output the actual value of the indicator you used for the current and previous bar along with the close from the current and previous bar. A crossing is detected if the price was below the price to be compared and then moved above it within the lookback period.
