To set the MA cross signal, simply use the MACD filter in "Buy on Main > 0 / Sell on Main < 0" mode.
The MACD histogram is the difference between 2 MAs (fast and slow). So, when the histogramm crosses the 0 level, the fast MA crosses the slow MA:
That's all! )
If you use only one MACD filter in "Buy on Main > 0 / Sell on Main < 0", EA opens new buy all the time when MACD > 0. So, new position is opened as soon as previous one is closed by TP, for example.
Let me know if you need "Buy on Main crosses 0 above / Sell on Main crosses 0 below" mode, I'll add it.
Indeed, it would not be bad to add this parameter to the already existing ones in the MACD.
I am also facing the above Issue, Please add this logic in next version of CP, I need something like as below

I tried this, I'm expecting that when it cross the line, both red and blue will light up, however, it seems like it is not the case, the blue lights up when MACD is above 0 while red lights up when MACD is below 0.
I'm not sure if I did it correctly, I wanted it to start 1st OP only when it cross, the cross is a trigger, and I'll couple with another signal (e.g. MA) to set the direction either BUY or SELL.
This script can help with a simple click to modify the strategy to use the 2 ema crossover (EMA Fast=20 corss EMA Slow=50) using MACD as explained by Andrey.
