 What is the formula I would use for 8 day moving average crossing 12 day moving average?

Thanks

 That would depend on the types of Moving Averages used and if you are concerned about the direction of the crossover.

SMA8 xUp SMA12:

AVGC8 > AVGC12 AND AVGC8.1 <= AVGC12.1

SMA8 xDn SMA12:

AVGC8 < AVGC12 AND AVGC8.1 >= AVGC12.1

SMA8 crossing SMA12 (either direction):

SGN(AVGC8 - AVGC12) <> SGN(AVGC8.1 - AVGC12.1)

EMA8 xUp EMA12:

XAVGC8 > XAVGC12 AND XAVGC8.1 <= XAVGC12.1

EMA8 xDn EMA12:

XAVGC8 < XAVGC12 AND XAVGC8.1 >= XAVGC12.1

EMA8 crossing EMA12 (either direction):

SGN(XAVGC8 - XAVGC12) <> SGN(XAVGC8.1 - XAVGC12.1)
