You can use the following algorithm:

in the "header" of the adviser we set up a variable in which we store the opening time of the bar at which the intersection is detected. Then (when searching for a signal) we use the CopyBuffer function - option 3 ' Call by the start and end dates of a required time interval'

 int    CopyBuffer (
   int        indicator_handle,     // indicator handle
   int        buffer_num,           // indicator buffer number
   datetime   start_time,           // start date and time
   datetime   stop_time,            // end date and time
   double     buffer[]              // target array to copy
   );

We make a tour (in a loop) of the copied values and check if there is a new intersection? If there is a new intersection, we write the time the bar opens in the variable.
