Used in combination with Cross to specify the direction of the cross. Above specifies an upward (lesser to a greater value) direction.

The plot of A is defined as having crossed Above the plot of B if the value of A is greater than the value of B and one of the following is true:

a) The value of A was less than the value of B on the bar immediately preceding the current bar

or

b) The values of A and B were equal for a consecutive sequence of one or more bars immediately preceding the current bar and the value of A was less than the value of B on the bar immediately preceding this sequence of bars.

For more information see Cross.

Usage

E1

Cross Above

E2

or:

Plot1 Cross Above Plot2

Where: E - a numerical expression

Example

Trigger an alert on the bar where the Close price crosses above 1350.00:

Plot1(Close); 
If Plot1 Cross Above 1350.50 Then 
Alert("Price has crossed above 1350.00");
