Cross of three MAs

[francysouz]

Hi, I'm new in mql5.

I have the following problem,

Suppose I want  see the cross of three MA's, but in different times. For exemplo MA_Fast ,MA_Medium and MA_ Slow, so the MA_medium cross the MA_Slow, I want to see if the MA_Fast crossed the MA_Slow too in a period of 20 bars ago or less, How I make this?

 

Thanks for everyone.

Ok ..  Actually  I tried several things, 

In my mind is easier make a index and then use this index to make a EA using a wizard.

My last tried was shift the MA, but appear a error when I compile.

I TRIED THIS

 

int MA_Cross::LongCondition()

  {

   int signal=0;

//--- For operation with ticks idx=0, for operation with formed bars idx=1

   int idx=StartIndex();

//--- Values of MAs at the last formed bar

   

   double last_slow_value=SlowMA(idx);

   double last_vslow_value=VslowMA(idx);

   

//--- Values of MAs at the last but one formed bar

   double prev_slow_value=SlowMA(idx+1);

   double prev_vslow_value=VslowMA(idx+1);

// ---- combinações dois tres quarto cinco seis(s) sete(st) e oito  last 

        

//--- If the fast MA crossed the slow MA from bottom upwards on the last two closed bars

   if((last_slow_value>last_vslow_value) && (prev_slow_value<prev_vslow_value))

     {

     

     int j;

     

     for(j=0; j<=m_janela; j++)

      {

         FastMAsh=iMA(NULL,0,m_period_fast,j,MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE);

         VslowMAsh=iMA(NULL,0,m_period_vslow,j,m_method_vslow, PRICE_CLOSE);

      

       double last_fast_value=FastMAsh(idx);

       double prev_fast_value=FastMAsh(idx+1);

       double last_vslow_value_sh=VslowMAsh(idx);

       double prev_vslow_value_sh=VslowMAsh(idx+1);

       if((last_fast_value>last_vslow_value_sh) && (prev_fast_value<prev_vslow_value_sh))

          {

            signal=100; // There is a signal to buy

          }

       

      }

     }

  

//--- Return the signal value

   return(signal);

 }

Off course this is just a part of my code.. 

Thanks for everything
