Hi guys, I am trying to follow a tutorial on setting up basic MA crossover buy/sell alerts, however I get the following error: Error: SYNTAX! | Formula: = *CROSSFROMBELOW(ID5.SG1,1D6.SG1) ID5 = MA1 ID6 = MA2 It seems simple enough, but I can not see where the syntax error is, and I have entered it verbatim to the tutorial... Any ideas would be great. Screenshot attached. https://www.sierrachart.com/Download.php?Folder=SupportBoard&download=25497 |

The syntax you are using is only for Simple Alerts. And it contains an error. It should be: =CROSSFROMBELOW(ID5.SG1,ID6.SG1) The syntax for spreadsheets requires a range comparison and row references: =CROSSFROMBELOW(ID5.SG1@3:ID5.SG1@4,ID6.SG1@3:ID6.SG1@4) |
