Hello ali321,

You can use CrossAbove() or CrossBelow() to define a crossing condition.

An SMA crossing above and EMA within the last 30 bars looks like this:

 
 
if (CrossAbove(SMA(14), EMA(14), 30))

If you don't care about the direction of the crossing, you could add || to look for crossing in both directions.

if (CrossAbove(SMA(14), EMA(14), 30) || CrossBelow(SMA(14), EMA(14), 30))
