For examples of code where a signal depends on two events in sequence, see
"Equis - Chande Momentum Oscillator" Expert on your machine. Below are the
buy and sell lines.

{Buy} Cross(BarsSince(Cross(-50,CMO(C,20))),
arsSince( Cross(CMO(C,20),Mov(CMO(C,20),9,S))));
{Sell}
oss(BarsSince(Cross(CMO(CLOSE,20),50)),BarsSince(Cross( Mov( CMO(CLOSE,20),
9,),CMO(CLOSE,20))))

It takes the form of:
Cross(BarsSince(Cross(A,B),BarsSince(Cross(C,D))))
or
Cross(BarsSince(Cross(A,B),BarsSince(Cross(A,D))))


To see if two sets of lines cross on the same day, try something like:
Cross(A,B)=Cross(A,C)
