I know that it is not obvious, but topics concerning MT4 and MQL4 have their own section.

In future please post in the correct section.

I will move your topic to the MQL4 and Metatrader 4 section.

  
  1. WasCrossAbove = PriceCrossAbove && Bid >MAValue5;
WasCrossBelow = PriceCrossBelow && Ask <MAValue5;

    The moment price goes below the MA, you reset your variable to false, making it useless for your test. Save the previous value to a new variable, then set your current global/static variables. Then you can test wasAbove and isAbove.

Your title is

What i want is if price cross above MA and revised back to be lower than. then i want to sell (HELP)

Then code that: H[0] ≥ MA && MA ≥ Bid; no need for your variables.
