Can anyone out there help me create a formula with two moving averages with certain parameters so that I can back test the results on a 5, 15, and a 60 minute chart for the GBP.

Have you considered writing the study using the Formula Wizard? If not you may want to give that a try as the Formula Wizard makes it very easy to program studies such as the one you are looking for.
For information on how to use the Formula Wizard and some examples see this article in the EFS knowledgeBase.
If you encounter any problems post what you have done and someone may be available to assist you.

I have created two moving averages with the EFS Wizard. Now I want it to buy when they cross and close the position when they re cross. How do I input that using the wizard?
I looked at the thread that you adviced me to. When I click backtesting through E-signal it will not calculate the loss/profit correctly. Am I doing something wrong?
This is the formula I'm looking to create.
Go Long when the 20EMA crosses 30EMA
Take profits when the 20EMA crosses the 30EMA
& Sell when they recross and take profits after they cross again.

Post the efs that you are using for the back test and that is returning incorrect results. Also provide details on the symbol and interval you are using in the back tests.
