Hi,

The Cross function returns True (or 1) on the bar that Array1 CROSSES above Array2. After it has crossed above Array2 it will return False (or 0). 
Whereas this formula "MA(C,30) > MA(C,50)" will produce a true signal every day that the MA30 is greater than MA50.

Here is the reference:

HB,

Thanks for your reply.

However, I've looked at all the message titles dated Nov 29, 2002 -- 
#'s 28540 thru 28588 -- and didn't see any messages titled "Cross or 
> ??".

Yahoo Groups' search facility is worthless. Are you sure that date is 
correct?

Thanks,

Damien
