I'm trying to learn to write some simple code.  First for price to close above a XAvg and second to close below a XAvg.

First to close above 
'# PC = indicator.unlinked.PriceClose
'# MA = indicator.unlinked.MovingAvg(30)
'# Period = userinput.integer = 30
If price.Close > price.xavg(period) Then pass

Second to close below
'# PC = indicator.unlinked.PriceClose
'# MA = indicator.unlinked.MovingAvg(30)
'# Period = userinput.integer = 30
If price.Close < price.xavg(period) Then pass
The second one appears to work but the first one doesn't.  Any suggestions?

You're doing it the hard way. You don't need the PC and MA variables, just use this code:

'# Period = userinput.integer = 30

If price.Close > price.xavg(period) Then pass

if price.close < price.xavg(period) then pass

Thanks,  I was trying to experiment with draggign indicators into the code box.  But couldn't get them to work.  Could you explain why I keep getting " Operator '>' is not defined for type 'WBI.CommonBlocks.CommonBlocks.ScriptingLine' "  and also when I use "Then Pass" I get "pass" is not declared.?? 

I really appreciate the great job you all have done with SF5.

If you're getting "pass" not declared, you're trying to code a RealCode condition inside of the indicator editor.
