Subject: [amibroker] how to express symbol in a backtest

I'd like to create a backtest which uses a close of ^VIX under its 10
day MA as one of the parameters, but I'm having trouble making it work.

I've tried something like - "^vix" < ma(c,"vix",10)...

meaning "...when ^vix is less than the 10 day ma of ^vix" , but I get a
lot of syntax error messages. What is the best way to express this?

Up until recently,I've used AB mostly for charting and a few simple
explorations. I'm just beginning to wade into afl and am having a rough
time of it so far. I'd appreciate any assistance anyone can give .
thanks.
