Tool
Astro Line Cross
interpretor.astro_line
Inputs
The planetary price line as a single SCALAR value, usually from calc.longitude_to_price.
A per-bar price series (like close) compared against the line each bar.
Outputs
A boolean that is true on each bar price matches the chosen relationship to the planetary line.
Astro Line Cross compares the current price to a planetary price line and tells you the relationship: above, below, just crossing, or sitting within a small band of it. It's the partner tool for calc.longitude_to_price, which produces that line, and turns it into a true/false trigger.
How it works
It takes a planetary price line (a SCALAR, usually from calc.longitude_to_price) and a per-bar price series (like close), then outputs a BOOL based on the mode you pick. The orb setting sets how close price must get to count as 'within orb'.
Modes
Fires on every bar where price sits above the planetary line.
When to use: Use this as a bullish-bias filter while price trades over the line.
Fires on every bar where price sits below the planetary line.
When to use: Use this as a bearish-bias filter while price trades under the line.
Fires on the bar where price breaks from below the line to above it.
When to use: Use this as a long trigger when price breaks up through a planetary line.
Fires on the bar where price breaks from above the line to below it.
When to use: Use this as a short trigger when price breaks down through a planetary line.
Fires while price is within orb price-units of the line, hugging it on either side.
When to use: Use this as a filter for when price is sitting on a planetary line as support or resistance.
Configuration
Picks the test: price above the line, below it, crossing up, crossing down, or within orb of it.
How close (in price units) price must be to the line to count as 'within orb'; only used in within_orb mode.

Examples
- Use cross_up mode as a signal trigger when close breaks above a Saturn price line.
- Use within_orb with a small orb as a filter for when price is hugging a planetary line.
Common mistakes
- Leaving orb at 0 in within_orb mode, so price almost never registers as being on the line.
- Wiring a per-bar series into the line input — the line should be the SCALAR from calc.longitude_to_price.
