ALERT HELP!

Hi,
I am looking for some help with an alert.
Lets say Condition1 is one moving average and Condition2 is a second moving average and I don't want an alert when they cross, but 3 bars after they cross.
I tried the following alert code if one crossed above the other, but it did not work.  Any help would be appreciated.

Trend  = 00 ;
Condition1= MA1 > MA2;
Condition2= MA1 < MA2;

if  Condition1  then  Trend  = +01 ;
if  Condition2  then  Trend  = -01 ;

if  (Trend  > 00)  then begin
  UpCount  = UpCount + 01 ;
  DnCount  = 00 ;
end ;

if  (Trend <  00)  then begin
  DnCount  = DnCount + 01 ;
  UpCount  = 00 ;
end ;

if  (UpCount  = 03)  then  Alert ("Third bar") ;
