Thanks Prashanth. The following mod to your code is what I want, but
there seems to be a problem with the parts after the ANDs. I should be
able to use "AND" instead of "OR" since the exit price can be 10 pips
above the entry price simultaneous to one of the MAs being above or
below the other.

Sells and Covers are not occurring with the below formula. But I don't
see the flaw in the logic. 

I tried replacing the "10" with "0.0010" and that still does not work.

In my EUR-USD Symbol info I have it set to Round Lot size =1, Tick
size = 0.0001, Point Value = 100000


SlowMA = MA(C,20);

FastMA = MA(C,5);

Plot(SlowMA, "myMA1", colorBlue);
Plot(FastMA, "myMA2", colorGreen);

Buy = FastMA > SlowMA ;

Sell = FastMA < SlowMA AND SellPrice > (BuyPrice + 10);

Short = FastMA < SlowMA;

Cover = FastMA > SlowMA AND CoverPrice < (ShortPrice - 10);

just can't seem to figure out how to specify the current price. 
Thought that the ValueWhen function might be able to help.
