If you just want Price above and below the Moving Average, you may wish to try one of the following:

Price Above 50-Period Simple Moving Average:

C > AVGC50

Price Below 50-Period Simple Moving Average:

C < AVGC50

Price Above 50-Period Exponential Moving Average:

C > XAVGC50

Price Below 50-Period Exponential Moving Average:

C < XAVGC50

If the Price must actually be increasing or decreasing in the same direction at the same time, you may wish to try the following instead:

Price Increasing Above 50-Period Simple Moving Average:

C > C1 AND C > AVGC50

Price Decreasing Below 50-Period Simple Moving Average:

C < C1 AND C < AVGC50

Price Increasing Above 50-Period Exponential Moving Average:

C > C1 AND C > XAVGC50

Price Decreasing Below 50-Period Exponential Moving Average:

C < C1 AND C < XAVGC50

If you are looking for crossover formulas instead, you may wish to try the following:

Price xUp SMA50:

C > AVGC50 AND C1 <= AVGC50.1

Price xDn SMA50:

C < AVGC50 AND C1 >= AVGC50.1

Price crossing SMA50 (either direction):

SGN(C - AVGC50) <> SGN(C1 - AVGC50.1)

Price xUp EMA50:

C > XAVGC50 AND C1 <= XAVGC50.1

Price xDn EMA50:

C < XAVGC50 AND C1 >= XAVGC50.1

Price crossing EMA50 (either direction):

SGN(C - XAVGC50) <> SGN(C1 - XAVGC50.1)

bubba1,
Welcome to the forums. A very good foundation for learning how to use TeleChart can be gained by reviewing the following:

If you are new to TeleChart READ THIS FIRST!

EXP() is the Natural Exponent function and not what you would want to use for this. The syntax you already presented is what you would want. For example the Square of the Close would be:

C ^ 2
