Gerard,
I believe it is this:

The first part of the IIf() function ....Macd < signal.....will always have
a True condition....Macd will either be Below the signal or Above the
signal...there will not be a time when this first part does not meet a
condition....Therefore, it will take precedence over the second part of the
IIF() function...Ma(c,5) < Ma(Ma(c,5),7)........so, this second part does
not get initiated....

Try this in IB to see the difference:
Plot(10,"ribbonMACD", IIf ((MACD()<Signal()),colorRed, colorGreen),
styleOwnScale|styleArea|styleNoLabel, -0.5, 100 );

Plot(25,"",IIf (MA(C,5)<MA(MA(C,5),7),colorYellow, colorYellow),
styleOwnScale|styleArea|styleNoLabel, -0.5, 100 );//Band between two
ribbons.

Plot(40,"ribbonMovingAverage",IIf (MA(C,5)<MA(MA(C,5),7),colorRed,
colorGreen), styleOwnScale|styleArea|styleNoLabel, -0.5, 100 );
