I realize that I am probably being lazy, but I am definitely not a computer programmer and I am new to MS.
Could someone help me write an explorer for these conditions:
Buy when 5dSMA crosses over 20dSMA
Sell when 5DSMA crosses below 20dSMA
If you could also supply an indicator formula, that would be extremely beneficial so that I can back test.

Make sure you go through the Formula Primer and also read the exampels in the User's Manual. The online help is a good source of examples too. Until you get through with that task, perhaps the code below will get you started.
{colA: Buy}
c1:=mov(C,5,S);
c2:=mov(C,20,S);
cross(c1,c2)
{colB: Sell}
c1:=mov(C,5,S);
c2:=mov(C,20,S);
cross(c2,c1)
i1:=Input("Short average",5,50,5);
i2:=Input("Long average",20,100,20);
c1:=Mov(C,i1,S);
c2:=Mov(C,i2,S);
buy:=Cross(c1,c2);
sell:=Cross(c2,c1);
buy;-sell

Thanks for the simplistic help. =D> I have had a tough time reading the manual so seeing real demonstrations helps me out for the better.
