First EA V. Simple Need Help
you have to wait a long time, until 2 different calculated MA's with 4 digits are equal in one tick ...
maybe until the end of days - be patient ;-)
i suggest you are testing for a "crossover",you can read a new article here published about that... (decorating indicators)

Even worse, He's waiting until the calculated MA's are equal to infinite precision.
// if (ma1==ma2) if (NormalizeDouble(ma1-ma2,Digits) == 0)See: Working with Doubles in MQL4
TRY this (I hope it will give you some idea):
int start()
{
//**********up cross*****************
if ( iMA(NULL,0,9,0,MODE_SMA,0,0) >iMA(NULL,0,30,0,MODE_SMA,0,0));
if (iMA(NULL,0,30,0,MODE_SMA,0,1) > iMA(NULL,0,9,0,MODE_SMA,0,1));
{
Alert("Alert","Alert");
//**************down cross****************
if ( iMA(NULL,0,9,0,MODE_SMA,0,0) <iMA(NULL,0,30,0,MODE_SMA,0,0));
if (iMA(NULL,0,30,0,MODE_SMA,0,1) < iMA(NULL,0,9,0,MODE_SMA,0,1));
{
Alert("Alert","Alert");
return(0);
}}

Hi, this is my first EA and it's very simple and I'm stumped as to why it does not work. Can someone point me in the right direction.
The EA is intended to flash an alert message when the two MAs cross:

double ma1;
double ma2;
ma1 = iMA(NULL,0,30,0,MODE_SMA,0,0);
ma2 = iMA(NULL,0,9,0,MODE_SMA,0,0);
if (ma1==ma2)
{
Alert("Alert","Alert");
return(0);
}}
