Hello thowar9,

If you are looking for a price to cross an EMA, you could construct a condition like this:

Left side: Price>close
Center: CrossAbove (or Cross below) (leave the lookback at 1)
Ride side: Indicator>EMA (set to the period you wish or use the default)

Hello thowar9,

Thanks for your reply.

The help guide for the condition builder (link in post #2) shows how to create a comparison of the current bar to a specified time. You would want to create two comparisons one for the start and one for the end. The help guide shows how to create a group of conditions and creates a "time filter" as an example. For your convenience, here are the direct links:
