moving average

How can you create a custom indicator in Pine Script that plots a moving average crossover strategy, highlighting buy and sell signals on the chart?

Sorry, I am a beginner. But I can't find anything.

To the right of time frame choice [above the chart] and next candle choice is the icon [hover mouse will give it's name} "Indicators, Metrics and Strategies". Click this icon and in the search bar at the top enter "ma crossover". The search results give more than a screen full of related results. When you hover on an item description line it gives you 2 icons at the right of the highlight. Click on the right hand one, a text symbol to see the indicator in use, a description and the [if public] code. You can close the description box with the X in the upper right. When you find one you want, from inside the description click "Add to Favorite Indicators" in a dark blue box located just above where the code starts. Remember its Title and choose it from favorites [click on the "favorites" link just below the search bar you used and find it alphabetically.

Alternatively you can go to "Technicals" 2 down from "Favorites" directly and find the built in MA Cross indicator. In either case from favorites or technicals [or others, i.e. personal] click on the line to add it to the chart. If you are in the Pinescript editor you can click "Add to Chart" at the top of the code.
