                The first one gives you what you are asking for, but it will go true if the crossing is from above or from below. If you want a specific crossing direction, then you would want to use either CROSSFROMBELOW or CROSSFROMABOVE. Refer to the information here and the item after it: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SpreadsheetFunctions.html#CROSSFROMABOVE_Function For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:  Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing  |

                You have an extra left parenthesis =AND((CROSSOVER... Replace with =AND(CROSSOVER...
