[amibroker] Cross: When does it work?

Hi
I want to use the Cross function for a buy stop signal as explained 
in the manual p120 i.e. when the price rises say 10 points above the 
Open then Buy (on that day only), as in the line
Buy = Cross(High,Open +10 );

However Buy appears to sometimes return false when the high is > 10 
points above the open. 
While the line 
BuyStop= (H-O) > 10;
works every time.

Below is a commentary which demonstrates it.

Buy = Cross(High,Open +10 );
BuyStop= (H-O) > 10;
HighLessOpen = H-O;

"Buy is " + WriteVal(Buy );
"BuyStop is " + WriteVal(BuyStop);
"H - O is " + WriteVal(HighLessOpen );

I've hunted as best throught the threads but can't find an 
appropriate answer.

Have I missed the point somewhere?
Peter
