I'm not sure what you did, but I just changed your plot commands to 
buy & sell and it worked fine.

BTW, you don't need to pass in the TickSize unless you want to use a 
non-standard tick size.  You can use "MinMove points" in your system, 
and that will return the correct TickSize for the current symbol.

Also, if you want, you can use the MarketPosition variable like Kent 
suggested, and get rid of the Mode variable entirely.  See below.

Input: XTics(3), MA1Len(10), MA2Len(10);

Var: MA1(0), MA2(0), Mode(1);

MA1 = Average(L, MA1Len);
MA2 = Average(H, MA2Len);

If MarketPosition >= 0 and C < MA1 - XTics * Minmove points then sell;
If MarketPosition <= 0 and C > MA2 + XTics * Minmove points then buy;
