Right now I am working with strategies surrounding the formula: =AND(E3>B3) for long positions, but I want to have it so a Buy signal is created when E3 (last bar-value) cross up the B3 (open bar-value), instead of just having a buy signal created when E3>B3. How should this formula look like?

If your signal is at bar close, you'll need to reference the previous bar: =AND(B4>E4,E3>B3) You could also use: =CROSSFROMBELOW(E3:E4,B3:B4) If your signal is intrabar, this would be the formula: =E3>B3 and it would necessarily be the first occurrence in the current bar. Subsequent occurrences in the current bar could be eliminated with Signal Only Once Per Bar set to Yes.
