ema10.Push(Securities["IBM"].Close); ema50.Push(Securities["IBM"].Close); if (ema10.EMA > ema50.EMA) {The Push does only enque, not calculate the average. It is quite hard to debug online in the cloud to set a breakpoint to what your code is actually doing. So this is just a visual interpretation of your code. It would make sense since ema10.EMA is effective after 10 ticks and the ema50 needs 5 times more data. At start both are zero, so ema10.EMA is larger after 10 ticks. I assume data comes in every 1 minute, so N=10 and N=50 means you look on 10-50 minutes scale? J.Jared Broad
