MTF SMA Label

[Freddie_CM]

Hello,

I am working on a strategy that requires knowing if current price is above or below the 50SMA on the 5M and 15M timeframes. If possible, would anyone be able to create a code that shows a label for the 5M and 15M on the upper chart indicating if price is above or below the 50SMA? This would help GREATLY! TIA!

Yeah, I've been searching the site up and down and trying/editing a lot of scripts I've come across and still can't get it right. I'm not the best coder at all. All of the ones I've tried seem to be just a hair off and don't exactly work like I need them too. Kind of at a loss here is why I've posted the thread asking for assistance. The codes I've tried will intermittently work (i.e: it will show that some stocks are above the 50SMA when in reality, it's below and for other stocks it will perfectly.) Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT
Found what I need. Below is the link to what I was looking for. Just had to change a few things. Thank you.

that is great that you are trying to put together some custom code. if you get stuck post the code you have and tell us,
..what it should do
..what part isnt working

everyone starts out knowing nothing about a topic. i am a slow learner and it took me a long time, with lots of failed code tries before it started making sense for me. keep asking questions, you will get it.
