jth,

It is one MA crossing the the other MA? But you are talking about 4 MAs crossing with the other 4 MAs. May be i am wrong. So please clarify: how many MAs are crossing the other MAs?

If MA is going long so it means that the value of this MA (value on the chart - the same with price but value of MA on some bar - y-scale) on the second closed bar for example) is less than the value of the first closed bar (for example as well).

First close bar is the previous from current one (current one is open bar and is not closed yet). Counting is started from the current zero bar. So, from current zero back to the first, second and so on ("back to the future").

If MA is going short it means that value of MA (any MA because in EA we can set the close/open or any price and set to be EMA, SMA and so on) on the second close bar is more higher than on the first close bar.

So how many MAs indicators to program?. Also, if one MA is crossing the other one so it is understandable. But if 4 MAs are crossing the other 4 MAs so it is necessary to clarify: which one should be fast MAs and which one is slow.

Or two MA are crossing the other two MAs? It's ok. This EA will not trade often but it is no problem. Problem will be the following: it will be difficult to optimize the settings (period of each MA, type of MAs and so on).

So need clarification.
