Hello, I am having trouble coding this study. I am trying to make a lower study that represents which ema is over the other. I need it so that if the 12 ema is above the 30 ema, a green dot is plotted in a lower study, and if the 30 ema is above the 12 ema a red dot is plotted in a lower study. Thank you!

Pretty sure we show how to do this here: https://www.hahn-tech.com/ans/horizontal-line-moving-average/

You will have to adapt it to work with your chosen moving averages, but the core components are all there.

Thank you, but that post you linked me too confused me. I am just trying to get a horizontal line when the 12 ema is above the 30 ema a green dot is plotted. When the 30 ema is above the 12 ema, a red dot is plotted. Thank you ?

Here is the code from the post I linked, with the Double moving average code replaced by two simple moving averages:

declare lower;
input MA1_length = 12;
input MA2_length = 30;
def ma1 = Average(close, MA1_length);
def ma2 = Average(close, MA2_length);
plot zeroLine = 0;
zeroLine.AssignValueColor(if ma1 > ma2 then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

How do I change the SMAs to EMAs in this script?

I must be doing a lousy job teaching this subject.
Check here for details:

http://toslc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/thinkScript/Functions/Tech-Analysis/ExpAverage.html

And here are the changes:

def ma1 = ExpAverage(close, MA1_length);
def ma2 = ExpAverage(close, MA2_length);
