For example the indicator is having two lines only which suppose to be crossed (with alarm).
Second. We have two indicators. Which pieces of the code should be included into one or two indicators to indicate about two line crossing: one line is from the first indicator and an other line is from an other one (all those two lines are in the same window of course)?
If it is EA or script should be created so keep this question untill we will study EA and script's creation.

Second question needs some work (the idea key is working with
GlobalVariables to make the both of the indicators knows each others!)
I'll work in it later.
This is the code of the first question. It needs some test (it's 6:40 AM here
)
