Answer 1

You can use the ta.rising() function to check how many bars your moving average has been rising for.

ta.rising(source, length) → series bool

RETURNS
true if current source is greater than any previous source for length bars back, false otherwise.
ARGUMENTS
source (series int/float) Series of values to process.
length (series int) Number of bars (length).
