The standard cTrader moving average indicator lines repaint, so I can see the price fell with the red candles, a crossover occurred, but when the price went up again the lines were redrawn to show it never happened. This a common problem with this type of indicator, you either accept these fake trades or adjust the values of the indicator for more positive crosses.
