As part of a Tradesim scan I'm trying to discover whether a strategy is improved when the XAO is also rising or falling as an entry condition.

In Bullcharts I'm using the following code, which works fine in creating regular BC indicators, but gets rejected in a Tradesim scan.

Thank you for your help.

P :=LoadSymbol(XAO,close);
Pma :=ma(P,100,simple);

{then as part of my Tradesim entry signal}

Pma>hist(Pma,1)
