Joe,
Isn't he just looking for the change from Sum = 0 to 1?
That is, it will cross 0.5.

I'm looking for some help in decoding the attached statement
especially this piece

Alert(Cross(Sum(L > Mov(C,20,E),2) = 2,.5),10)

I'm assuming that the Cross and the Sum func statement work
essentially like AB AFL but I don't understand the use of .5 in
the Cross statement or the 10 in the ALERT statement.  I was not
successful in finding online assistance in the Metastock langugage
and if you have the time I would appreciate understanding how these
specific statements work in Metastock  CROSS, SUM, and ALERT.
If you can translate the attached it would be greatly appreciated as
well;  or if you can point me to an on line source of the Metastock
language.

I was trying to see if there was an idea or two that would help me
in End of Day trading the ETFs in confirming breakouts.  This I know
is for FOREX trading hence the 10 ticks statement.

Thanks in advance
Joe Landry

(1,Cross(Sum(L > Mov(C,20,E),2) = 2,.5) *HHV(H,2),1) + .001{10
ticks} AND BarsSince(Cross(Sum(L > Mov(C,20,E),2) = 2,.5)) <
BarsSince(LOW <= Mov(C,20,E))
