What's wrong with my code. It compiles.

New comment

What the code is supposed to do is put an up arrow on the chart if the 9 sma is above the 20 sma and price closed below the 9 sma and then closed above the 9 sma.

EDIT by moderator: Code inserted from a later post and that post deleted.

It's not coded to do what you want.

I think it's on line 23.

Guys where do you see the code

This is what I see on this page (no code nor attachments)

Ahhh ... then it is line 23 by all means :)

Marco is using his crystal ball.

There is no code.

Does the OP really expect a serious reply?

That's a funny topic :-)
I have deleted the posts that actually contain the code and pasted it into the first post.
