Does TOS allow you to assign an aggregation period to plots for custom moving averages?

[Mr_Wheeler]

I was successful with standard moving average types supplied by TOS but I'm running into problems with a custom triangle study.

https://tos.mx/tEyrGZg - that's my completed custom MTF label study.

This is the line of code I'm having issues with.

addlabel(one_minute_label, if price >= tmaline then "Golden Cross " + barssince( crossup_1m) + " bars ago" else if price <= tmaline then "Death Cross " + barssince(crossdn_1m) + " bars ago" else "", if price >= tmaline then Color.GREEN else if price <= tmaline then Color.WHITE else Color.GRAY);

specifically

barssince( crossup_1m)

&

barssince(crossdn_1m)

Here's my full code.

I assume that you are finding N/A in some of your labels. If so, it is likely that you do not have a large enough timeframe defined for those to make the comparisons. In the image below is your code with a 30day 1min chart with all labels populating.
