what wrong the code
- iiMA() ... typo I guess ...
- Both MAs are the same ... so you won't find a cross
- You need a loop to go back until you find the cross
- MA1 > MA2 doesn't mean a cross ... just that MA1 is above MA2
- ...

cross_price should be Close[i] ... At open of the candle [i] the cross didn't occured yet.

Well, its debatable. We are scanning history for occurred crosses.
The exact actual time and price are difficult to know.
Price/Time would be between the close of the previous bar and the close of the current bar.
I only used the open price because I used the bar open time.

The advantage of using the close price is to have a non-repainting cross.
