I am new to using mql and I am using generator to create codes. I want to open position when MA Exp. 5  crosses up MA Exp. 12 = BUY ,  MA Exp. 5  crosses down MA Exp. 12 = SELL. But the problem is, I want to open only one position but when I check ea, it seems that when position closes, ea opens position agian because MA Exp. 5 value is more than MA Exp. 12 or less. How can I solve this problem?

Do what you said you want, buy when the MA's cross. Currently you're buying when ma(5)>ma(12)
