Re: EL problem

[Bob Fulks <bfulks@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Condition1 and Condition2 are True/False variables so they cannot be used
with ">" or "crosses over" operators.

I think what you might want is:

 if Average(Close - Close[3],1) crosses over
    Average(Close[1] - Close[5],2) then Plot1...;

 if Average(Close - Close[3],1) crosses under
    Average(Close[1] - Close[5],2) then Plot2...;

The Average function returns numeric values which can then be used with ">"
or "crosses over" operators.
