i am a newbie to mt4 but i willing to learn, i read some books online and learn this function crossed(), like iscrossed = crossed(shortma, longma); etc. but i want to get to know deeper about this function where does it locate at, I just cant find it anywhere in the documentation, when i type that does it open an order when shortma cross above longma and can i add more like iscrossed = crossed(firstma, sencondma, thridma, etc); ?

There isn't such function although you can write any one.

hi rosh, do you mean there no such function as crossed() and i just write that up or the book just made that up ? if that is true, can you show me how to check when 2 lines cross each other. What does the mt4 language using by the way ? ( c++, c#, vb, java, .net)

int crossed(){
....

current_ma_short = iMA(NULL,0,5,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0); 
current_ma_long = iMA(NULL,0,14,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0); 
previous_ma_short = iMA(NULL,0,5,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1); 
previous_ma_long = iMA(NULL,0,14,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1);

if (previous_ma_short > previous_ma_long && current_ma_short < current_ma_long)
   return (CROSS_DOWN);

if (previous_ma_short < previous_ma_long && current_ma_short > current_ma_long)
   return (CROSS_UP);

....
}

simple code for checking two ma crossed. Have fun.
