This is how I would do it:

Buy
= Ref(CCI(20),-1) < 0 // Previous Bar CCI Was Less Than 0
          AND CCI(20) > 0 // Current Bar CCI(20) is Greater Than 0, 0 Crossover
          AND Ref( C , -1) < EMA( C , 30) // Previous Bar Close is Below 30 Period Exponential Moving Average
          AND C > EMA( C , 30) ; // Current Bar Close Is Above 30 Period Exponential Moving Average

Sell
= Ref(CCI(20),-1) > 0
// Previous Bar CCI Was Greater Than 0
        AND CCI(20) < 0 // Current Bar CCI(20) is Less Than 0, 0 Crossover
        AND Ref( C , -1) > EMA( C , 30) // Previous Bar Close is Above 30 Period Exponential Moving Average
        AND C < EMA( C , 30) ; // Current Bar Close Is Below 30 Period Exponential Moving Average
 
I back tested back to 2000 by running the Automatic Analysis with this Buy/Sell combo applied to IWM as my "Current Symbol".
I use daily bars and base my formulas on the Close price.
It only turned up 14 trades in that period.
This Chart shows the Buy/Sell Signals.
 
 
This took me about 10 minutes.

I guess I didn't clarify my buy/sell trigger points in my original
message.  I apologize for my shortcut. Of course, what you've said
in your message is EXACTLY what I meant and would employ.  That
said, for the benefit of someone who has never coded in Amibroker
language, but would just like to see how it would look, could you
show me the scripting (or whatever?) of how I would accomplish
buying and selling the Russell 2000 (IWM as its ETF), with these
parameters:

Buy -- when IWM's price goes up through its 30-day weighted MA and,
simultaneously, when IWM's price goes upward through its 20-day CCI
(crossing the 0 line upward).  Both conditions must be met before a
buy is implemented.

Sell -- Vice versa.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can show me.  I am considering
buying Amibroker, but I just want to see what I'm getting myself
into with regard to programming.
