Price at Cross Above / Cross Below

[sgordet]

I'm using the CrossAbove and CrossBelow indicators on range charts which update on every tick., e.g.,
if (CrossAbove(EMA(10), EMA(20), 1))
{
do something
}

Is there a way that I can capture the instrument price at the time the actual crossover occurs?

Hello sgordet,

Yes, you can capture a value in a variable at the time of a crossover.

if (CrossAbove(EMA(10), EMA(20), 1))
{
double myDouble = Close[0];
}

If one is updating intrabar, does Close[0] wait until the first tick of the next bar to update or do you get the price of the current tick when the crossover occurs?

With CalculateOnBarClose = false and real time: You get the value of current tick, when crossover occurs.

I'm sorry to trouble you again, it didn't occur to me at the time to ask: I just noticed that the cross often occurs outside of the price bar. Can I also get the price point at the intersection of the two moving averages involved in the crossover when I plot them overlaying the price chart?

Yes, you can use the same principles to capture an indicator value.

if (CrossAbove(EMA(10), EMA(20), 1))
{
double myDouble1 = EMA(10)[0];
double myDouble2 = EMA(20)[0];
}

I got an error message when I tried this
double crossValue = 0;
if (CrossAbove(EMA(10), EMA(20), 1))
{
crossValue = EMA[10][0];
Print("crossValue" + crossValue.ToString());
}
Error: Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'method group' CS0021
What have I missed?
Thanks.

Your EMA code is formatted incorrectly. It should be:

crossValue = EMA(10)[0];
