  You can only know that a bar is the one before a crossover occurs AFTER the next one has crossed over.

  Which is late according to your conditions, so there’s no way to code them.

  But by using a simple comparison between previous value to the current one, it is actually possible to test the crossing of these 2:

  timeframe(1 hour) //timeframe of your strategy bull = close[1]>open[1] //previous candle was green imacd = macd[12,26,9] signal = average[9,1](imacd) imacdp = macd[12,26,9][1] signal = average[9,1](imacd)[1] timeframe(default) //timeframe inferior in order to test intrabar the crossing test = bull and imacd<signal and imacdp>signalp

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

  timeframe(1 hour) //timeframe of your strategy bull = close[1]>open[1] //previous candle was green imacd = macd[12,26,9] signal = average[9,1](imacd) imacdp = macd[12,26,9][1] signal = average[9,1](imacd)[1]   timeframe(default) //timeframe inferior in order to test intrabar the crossing test = bull and imacd<signal and imacdp>signalp

  no tested, but that’s the idea ^^
