Unless you have a specific reason that you need to create a formula, the best way to create a Condition for this in TC2000 version 12 would be to just click on one of the Moving Averages and select Create Condition. When you click on the Condition drop-down menu in the window which appears, you vs the other Moving Average and choose Crossing Up (or Crossing Down) the other Moving Average.

Indicators, Sorting & Scanning

The result is both easier to create and more efficient than a formula.

If you are interested in the SMA50 crossing up through SMA200:

AVGC50 > AVGC200 AND AVGC50.1 <= AVGC200.1

If you are interested in the SMA50 crossing down through SMA200:

AVGC50 < AVGC200 AND AVGC50.1 >= AVGC200.1

If you are interested in the SMA50 crossing through SMA200 in either direction:

SGN(AVGC50 - AVGC200) <> SGN(AVGC50.1 - AVGC200.1)
