Your code and words don't match.  I assume that your words are correct.
 
"I want the buy condition to be when the MACD is below the Signal and the gap is closing"
 
buy = macd() < signal() and hist < ref(hist, -1);
 
"and the sell to be when the MACD is above the signal and closing"
 
sell = macd() > signal() and hist < ref(hist, -1);

Bill,
 
Thank you. I didn't notice that. I guess that I am doing this all wrong. What I want is to have the condition met when the gap between the MACD and Signal is closing.
 
I want the buy condition to be when the MACD is below the Signal and the gap is closing and the sell to be when the MACD is above the signal and closing.
 
Would this work?
//Buy Signals
Hist1 = MACD() - Signal();
Hist2 = Signal() - MACD();
Condition1 = MACD() > Ref(MACD(),-1);
Condition3 = Hist1 < Ref(Hist1, -1);
//Sell Signals
Condition11 = MACD() < Ref(MACD(),-1) AND MACD() > 0;
Condition3 = Hist1 < Ref(Hist1, -1);
 
//Buy and Sell orders
Buy = Condition1 AND Condition3;
Sell =Condition11 AND Condition3;

//Short and Cover conditions

Short=Sell;

Cover=Buy;

I Tried it, but it didn't work.

I don't think so.  Your buy = macd > ref(macd) and hist < ref(hist).  However, the data you presented has macd > ref(macd) and hist > ref(hist) so the buy condition was not satisified.
