How to Create a Condition for Price Crossing a Moving Average
Plotted indicators can be used to create a variety of conditions (behaviors). In this example price and a moving average are used to create a crossover condition. The same steps will work for crossover conditions on any indicator. Here are the steps.
5. Set time for the condition to occur

The true field will let you set parameters for when or how often the condition returned true.
- Now = Condition is true for current bar
- x bars ago = Condition was true specified number of bars ago
- within last x bars = Condition was true at least once within the specified period of bars
- x bars in a row = Condition has been true for the last specified number of bars
4. Apply the condition
Select from the Apply To menu the way you want to apply the condition set.

- Window in Current Layout (opens target mode with option to choose any window)
- New Filtered WatchList (Opens new window with default WatchList and sorts by condition set)
- New Market Gauge (summary of scan results over time)
- New Market Indicator (historical scan plot)
- New True/False Column in WatchList (sortable T/F column in current active WatchList)
- New Data Grid (creates new Data Grid with the condition set as an entry)
- Color Price Plot (colors price plot each time the condition occurs historically)
- Copy to Clipboard (copy conditions to computer clipboard for reuse)
