Trying to understand crossover behavior with NT8 strategy

[srkbits]

I am evaluating NT 8 and I need help trying to understand a behavior I am observing with a custom strategy I am building.

I have a 1 minute chart loaded with the VWAP8 indicator. I am trying to trigger an order on the basis of the VWAP crossing over and I am looking for the trigger to happen on the bar after the one where crossover happened, but I cant seem to get it to trigger.

The condition I used was for low[0] cross over VWAP8 with look back period = 1. But I am not seeing the condition trigger as true where the cross over happens in the chart

However when I use a look back period = 2, the cross over condition is triggered but a bar later than the one I need it to.

I realize I am describing in the abstract - but let me know what details I can provide.

Hello srkbits,

A cross above is looking for series A to be less than series B one bar ago and for series A to be greater than series B on the current bar.

I would recommend printing these values to the output window with the time of the bar to understand on which bars this will evaluate as true.

Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates printing for a cross above.
