Here's a solution for you to code:
1. Use the Osaka plugin from the 3rdParty directory.
2. Sort the values for the 2 sets of MAs, decide what distance you
need from the highest and lowest value of the green set to setup a
squeeze condition (ensuring that your red set is not intersecting
yet).
[Remember, you have the red set sorted to so you'll be able to
detect when the upper or lower boundary (depending upon whether
you're talking about an uptrend or downtrend setup) is violated by
the upper or lower boundary of green set.]
3. Look for the crossings of the green set into the red set on an
expansion and determine what spread value you need (absolute value
of highest ema value minus lowest ema value) to qualify for enough
expansion to make a signal.
The logic is to partition, sort, set boundary conditions and compare
key values (your main interest is in the border values, not
necesarily the middle MA values).
Simple sorting can solve many complex-sounding problems. You can
code this yourself. Take the Osaka plugin, look at the examples in
the Readme.txt file included in the zip download, sort the two sets,
decide on your boundary conditions and then what constitutes a
signal of interest. Then, put YOUR name on the code and give
yourself a good pat on the back.
At least try. I don't think your problem is coding the solution.
It's much earlier in the process than that. It's in formulating a
series of steps to accomplish your goal.

Using Guppy MMAs, the short term ones are coloured green, the longer
term ones coloured red. When the green MMAs come together - the
Green Squeeze - then start to rise and fan out above the red MMAs,
this is often an excellent early sign of a breakout. I have a
small .png file (SnagIt screen capture) of such a move, but don't
know how to post graphics here.

green MMAs start to emerge from a squeeze and start to fan out above
the red MMAs? The Green ones must be rising, they must be breaking
above the topmost red one, and they must be starting to fan out
(separate) over a few days - say 3 or 4 days for example.
