crossedOver

crossedOver

At a glance — true when series a crossed above b on the current bar: a was ≤ b one bar ago and a > b now. b can be another Series or a constant number. Requires a.length ≥ 2 (and b.length ≥ 2 when b is a series); returns false during warm-up instead of throwing.

Signature

function crossedOver(a: Series, b: Series | number): boolean;
