MA Cross Indicator why so hard???

I'm not a programmer.

Is there a technical reason there is not a MA indicator that sends an email alert when one MA crosses and closes above or below the other? All I want to use it for is a heads up in the middle of the night.

I've found at least 20 of them but none work correctly. Some don’t wait for the close. Some send multiple alerts. Others just don’t work at all.

Can someone who knows more about programming explain why apparently it can't be done?

you are right, i also tried several MA_crossover indicators and didnt find one that worked properly. After a crossover occurs, it alerts numerous times on following bars which has no crossovers. if anyone who reads this thread has got a crossover indicator that works correctly, upload it here please.
