I want to create an alert for when to moving averages cross. How do I do this please? I emailed support but just got some general links that dont really show me how to create and alert for when moving averages cross each other.

There are two main techniques

1 Create Condition from a chart. If you have both MAs on a chart, right click on the chart symbol in top left of your chart, select Set Alert, and scroll down the options presented until you find the one you want, click it

2. Write a PCF of the form XUp(AvgC5, AvgC20) (MA5 crossing up MA20) and right click on the symbol in a watchlist, and then Set Alert, New Condition etc

The first alternative is usually the quickest  and sometimes thereare expressions which can't be written as PCFs, and so you have to use it.

If it's an Alert you will use many times, the add the Condition to your Library, and then use Condition from Library option when setting the Alert

Hope this gets you started
