With a crossover you have to specify a range of data, or something that has a range. You have the number "5", which is not a range, so it will not work. From what you state, you want the Last price to test whether it has crossed the VWAP line. In this case, your formula would look like the following: =CROSSOVER(C, ID1.SG1) Where 'C' is the Close of the bar (or last) and ID1.SG1 is the ID and subgraph of the VWAP study.
