I think I have this right. In the code below I'm using close as price. Pick the flavor (O,H,C,L) you need. The moving average is exponential. again pick the flavor you need.
{MACD below signal}
macd()<mov(macd(),9,e)
AND
{price goes below moving average}
cross(mov(C,9,e),c)
If price had been above the average, cross would give you the first instance of it going below.
Even if the above is right, Roy or Jose will likely give a more elegant solution.
