Alert Editor "Greater Than/Less Than" functions work different between Simple and Advanced?

[Bigbocarat]

Was trying to recreate a scan like in the following post but in the simple editor the greater than and less than functions seem to work opposite and counter intuitive but in advance mode they seem to make sense. From the previous "Heiken Ashi Red to Green Scan Help" post it seems intuitive that for detecting a red bar the simple code would be "if(Close (5) < Open 5 return - but it seems to work the opposite as shown by Mike below but seems to work when I type it in this way: urn -

 

But in advance mode his code makes sense where the Close < Open (5). Am I missing something?:

Bigbocarat, the "simple mode" is a little bit of a "reversed logic" because you use "and stop" on a condition that you don't want. Whereas in advanced you include the condition in the if statement that you do want.
