SeriesIsAbove: Indicator Documentation
Syntax
SeriesIsAbove(DataSeries ds1, DataSeries ds2, int period)
SeriesIsAbove(DataSeries ds1, DataSeries ds2, int period, string description)
Parameter Description
| ds1 | First data series |
| ds2 | Second data series |
| period | Period for which the 1st data series should be above the 2nd data series |
Description
Returns the number of consecutive bars that Series1 has been above Series2 minus the Period bars.
- To count the number of consecutive bars that Series1 has been above Series2 use period = 1.
- For any other period, SeriesIsAbove returns zero until Series1 has been above Series2 for at least period bars. After being above for period bars, SeriesIsAbove returns 1 and increments with each new bar that Series1 is above Series2.

Series Is Below.
Example
This example illustrates the indicator's application by plotting a histogram output for the number of consecutive bars that the 20-period
SMA is above/below the 50-period
SMA:
