Ascending or descending moving average

[Mahan1994]

Hi everybody. 

I want to compare moving average of two points to check if moving average chart is ascending or not. 

double startEMA = iMA(NULL,TimeFrame,MovingAveragePeriod,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1);
double endEMA   = iMA(NULL,TimeFrame,MovingAveragePeriod,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,15);
if (startEMA - endEMA > 0) 
   SlopeDirection = "+";
else  
   SlopeDirection = "-";

But the result is not correct! 

Could you please help me to solve it?

Thank you in advance.

What do you mean? What result are you getting?

How do you know that it is not correct?

Is the variable 

SlopeDirection 

a string?

“Doesn't work” is meaningless — just like saying the car doesn't work. Doesn't start, won't go in gear, no electrical, missing the key, flat tires — meaningless.
