Detect MA indicator line cross

[[Deleted]]

Hello forum, good day.

I´m trying to detect the moment when three MA indicators cross and know in which direction they are going. This is what have so far:

input int MA_1_Period = 5;
input int MA_2_Period = 10;
input int MA_3_Period = 20;

double    MA_1 = iMA(NULL,0,MA_1_Period,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1);
double    MA_2 = iMA(NULL,0,MA_2_Period,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1);
double    MA_3 = iMA(NULL,0,MA_3_Period,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1);

double    Prev_MA_1 = iMA(NULL,0,MA_1_Period,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,2);
double    Prev_MA_2 = iMA(NULL,0,MA_2_Period,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,2);
double    Prev_MA_3 = iMA(NULL,0,MA_3_Period,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,2);

if ( MA_1 < Prev_MA_1 && MA_2 < Prev_MA_2 && MA_3 < Prev_MA_3 )
   {
      if ( MA_1 < MA_2 && MA_1 < MA_3 && ( Prev_MA_1 >= Prev_MA_2 || Prev_MA_1 >= Prev_MA_3 ) )
         {
            Print("Crossing Down");
         }
   }

if ( MA_1 > Prev_MA_1 && MA_2 > Prev_MA_2 && MA_3 > Prev_MA_3 )
   {
      if ( MA_1 > MA_2 && MA_1 > MA_3 && ( Prev_MA_1 <= Prev_MA_2 || Prev_MA_1 <= Prev_MA_3 ) )
         {
            Print("Crossing Up");
         }
   }

 

Would this be the correct way to do it? Your help will be much appreciated. 

 

Best regards and thank you,
