Operators in Condition Builder
What are Operators?
Operators define how two values or data points are compared in a condition.
They determine whether the condition will evaluate as true or false, triggering the linked actions.
Types of Operators
1. Cross Above / Cross Below
Used to check if one value crosses over or under another value.
| Operator | Description |
|---|---|
cross above | True if the previous value was below and the current value is above the comparison value. |
cross below | True if the previous value was above and the current value is below the comparison value. |
📌 Example:
spot_cs close current cross above 12405
✅ True when:
- Previous candle close was below 12405.
- Current candle close is above 12405.
2. Is Above / Is Below
Checks if the LHS value is greater or smaller than the RHS value.
| Operator | Description |
|---|---|
is above (>) | True if LHS is strictly greater than RHS. |
is below (<) | True if LHS is strictly less than RHS. |
📌 Example:
spot_cs close current is above EMA_50
✅ True when the current closing price is greater than the 50 EMA.
3. Equal (==)
Checks if two values are exactly the same.
| Operator | Description |
|---|---|
equal (==) | True if LHS is exactly equal to RHS. |
📌 Example:
spot_cs close current equal 12405
✅ True if the closing price is exactly 12405.
4. Above or Equal / Below or Equal
Checks if the LHS is greater/less than or equal to RHS.
| Operator | Description |
|---|---|
above or equal (>=) | True if LHS is greater than or equal to RHS. |
below or equal (<=) | True if LHS is less than or equal to RHS. |
📌 Example:
spot_cs close current above or equal 12405
✅ True if the closing price is 12405 or higher.
Comparison Possibilities
| Operator | Can be Compared With |
|---|---|
cross above / cross below | Candle Data, Indicators |
is above / is below | Candle Data, Indicators, DTE, MTM, Fixed Values |
equal (==) | Candle Data, Indicators, DTE, MTM, Time, Fixed Values, Action.is_open |
above or equal / below or equal | Candle Data, Indicators, DTE, MTM, Time, Fixed Values |
Next Steps
✅ Use Operators to define entry and exit conditions
✅ Combine Candle Data, Indicators, and DTE values
