2 out of 3 candle cross?

[ninjatraderpro]

Hello all. This is my first time joining this great community. I'm not a coder but am learning ThinkScript little by little...but am still BRAND NEW. Here's what I'm looking to do:

GOAL: I would like to have an ALERT go off and even a pop up (if that's even possible in TOS) when the following criteria are met on a SPECIFIC WATCH LIST. If a watchlist assigment is not possible, then I could have 10-20 charts up and that could do the trick too.

Criteria:
--Using the 100 SMA plotted on a chart
--I would like that alert to happen when 2 of 3 candles (in any given order...red, green green...green, red, green...green green red) officially CLOSE above the 100 after coming from BELOW the 100
--I would like to have the ability to change the inputs in the study as well (sma, time frame, based on OPEN, CLOSE, OR MARK)

I've attached a couple screenshots to show what action I'm aiming for on the set-up.

Thank you ahead of time and if I'm asking for too much, just tell me "dude...that's not how this community works".

if price crosses above the average, it could reset a counter, that looks for 2 closes above the average.

in pic2, the bars are red, green,red, green.
both red bars close below the line, so both red woud reset the count to 0.
the 3rd red bar is the 2nd close > ma , and so would trigger.

if you want to count after the 1st crossing, then we have to define how many previous bars have to be below the ma. also have to define when to cancel. what if it crosses above the ma, then crosses below and drops , and stays below for 40 bars.
after finding the 1st trigger, need a way to disable it from triggerig again and again.

Thanks for replying!!! I now see I should have been more clear: I meant 2 of 3 GREEN candles. Not just any candle color. If 2 of 3 (in any order) GREEN CANDLES close ABOVE the ma I would like to trigger an alert and also change the background color of my chart.

Halcyonguy thank you so much for your CLEAR expertise...you know what you're doing!!! Love it!! So I've been testing this out...and one thing I need to see if you can "tweak" is the sound alert timing. The sound overall is awesome...but the sound goes off when it "crosses" and not "closes"...and it therefore gives a bunch of false signals that end up going the opposite direction. It's all about the "close". So grateful for your help!! Also, is there anyway you can have it also change the background of my chart so I get a "sound upon close" and a background color change simultaneously? When it crosses above that moving average, it changes to a color and when it crosses below the moving average its the normal default color?
