[amibroker] Re: Please help: How do I use if to compare current and previous MA?

["iinself" <iinself@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your suggestion Bill, but it does not seem to solve my 
problem. All I want to do is compare the MA for the current bar and 
the previous bar and then do something if previous MA is greater than 
current MA. Like print "hai" as below - iif returns an array which I 
am not able to pass to an "if"

periods = Param( "Periods", 30, 1, 200, 1 );
averages = MA(Close, periods);
this = Ref(averages, 0);
prev = Ref(averages, -1);

Cond1 = WriteIf( this >= prev, "up", "down" );
 if (Cond1 == "up"){
  printf("hai");
}
