I am trying to create a simple automated system for Sierra Charts using a worksheet. The system is quite simple; it consists of two moving averages, a 40 MA and a 20 MA. The crossover of the 20 MA over the 40 should trigger a sell and the 40 MA over the 20 MA a buy order.
I have tried: =crossover(ID6.SG1,ID2.SG1) where ID6 is identifier of one MA and ID2 is the other one. It did not work. I also tried =crossover(SG1, SG2) and =crossfromabove(sg1,sg2). it gives the "#name?" error.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?

Last, any Elite Member may create more or less any of these topics in The Elite Circle at your own discretion (your support is appreciated).
This is just a short general list and doesn't cover everything. If you are unsure where to create your new thread, just create it in Traders Hideout and a moderator will move it if necessary.
I think you are confusing two things. The examples you have tried are relevant to the alerts that you can set up. If you are coding the conditions on a worksheet, you need to use different references.
