IsBuying = (ma2_0 > ma3_0 >= (15)Minute);
IsSelling = (ma2_0 < ma3_0 >= (15)Minute);

the logic i am trying to code is to buy if ma 2 is greater than ma3 for 15 minutes or more.

You could do something like this in MT4. I don't know exactly how to code it, but you should be able to use the TimeSeconds(CurTime()) function to set maXtime = TimeSeconds(CurTime()) at the time of the cross, then keep checking to see if TimeSeconds(CurTime()) - maXtime >= 900 seconds.

Hope this helps. Sorry I can't give you the code exactly, but hopefully one of the coders here can use what I've posted.
