Put a subtraction sign in between them to measure the difference. For example the difference between a 20-Period Simple Moving Average and a 5-Period Exponential Moving Average could be written as:

AVGC20 - XAVGC5

If you wanted the absolute difference, you could be it in an ABS() function:

ABS(AVGC20 / XAVGC5)

If you wanted the percent difference:

100 * (AVGC20 / XAVGC5 - 1)

If you wanted the absolute percent difference:

100 * ABS(AVGC20 / XAVGC5 - 1)
