@piong That is very easy to do if you are a human trader, but extremely complex to implementa as a strategy. Let me ask you just 3 questions:

1. When a downtrend is over?
2. When an uptrend is over?
3. When there is no trend right now?

You and me can use different criteria to answer those questions. Same to the EA. You need a long and detailed list of criteria you consider to answer those questions. Once you have it, we can begin to create an EA.

Thanks l'andorra
when MA 28 Cross over MA50 (uptrend)
when MA 28 Cross below MA50 (downtrend)
I want this to be the first condition of my EA. ( that i made it already)

My concern is how to code "stop trading" when the second condition is met.

Thanks in advance

@piong Put a shared link here and it can be assessed, The simple way is to place a close buy/sell block above sell/buy, this will make EA close then buy/sell every time there is a cross, this will likely be a loosing strategy without other trading conditions.

@piong This will show you how to do what I think you want, either way there should be enough for you to sort as required. https://fxdreema.com/shared/eINE4351c
