I have a strategy in which I use MACD to close trade when histogram is equal to 0. But close command is not executing. Where is the logic wrong?

Logic:

1. if Open position is greater than 0 (MyOpenPositions =0), then
2. if macdHist11 equals 0 (MACDLevel0 = 0), then
3. close BUY(out values Open at market buy = BUY) or close SELL (out values of Open at Market sell = SELL)

OK.
How will the logic be like if open trade is to get closed when macdhist equals or around zero line or something similar.

This needs to be expressed in terms of math and you'll get it !

Example
-0.000050<macdhist<+0.000050 and you express this in 2 IF blocks
