Re: [amibroker] crossing in a custom indicator

Cross just produces a true/false signal for the conditions in each bar

Maybe you want to use it to keep track of the value of an price when
the indicators cross
eg

Occurence = Cross(MACD(),Signal());
Plot(C,"price",colorBlack,styleBar);
Plot( ValueWhen(Occurence, C ), "CrossValue", colorBlue, styleStaircase);
PlotShapes(shapeUpArrow*Occurence, colorGreen, 0,L,-10);
