      Hi All,

      This is a great tool, I am a big fan!

      I just wanted to ask about the reference for CrossUp & CrossDown... I think they may be a mistake in the documentation? It looks like they have the same definition.

      CrossDown: "This indicator gives a signal if the 1st provided data crosses over the 2nd indicator upwards" -
      Formula - "upcross = data0(-1) < data1(-1) and data0(0) > data1(0)"

      CrossUp: "This indicator gives a signal if the 1st provided data crosses over the 2nd indicator upwards"
      Formula - "upcross = data0(-1) < data1(-1) and data0(0) > data1(0)"

      I assume it actually follows the convention of CrossOver, with up and down being different, but just wanted to flag it up to you!

      Regards,
      Amien
