Hello, first of all thanks for such cool soft!

And there is my question:

How can i detect where two EMA's are crossing?

I were trying to put EMA18 > EMA28 logic symbol but this is not right, because it will cause new and new positions opening while the EMA18 > EMA28.

I need to open position only once(first time) when the EMA18 crosses EMA28 from the bottom, then close it when WMA5 crosses WMA12. Then wait for next cross of EMA18 with EMA28 to repeat the strategy.

Look at the attached picture what i want to do :roll:

In my opinion the two MAs are equal in the moment of crossing, ie. the same coordinates, not one of them ist bigger.
Try : MA1 = MA2 , this is the crossing (only) if you want more than one position use:
MA1 >= MA2 .
