There is not a way to automate this directly from the Trade Window. You would need to use a tool like the "Trading System based on Alert Condition" or the "Spreadsheet System for Trading". Or, of course, you can enter it manually, but then we do not know what your question here would be.

For the "Trading System based on Alert Condition", which may be the easier one to use in this case, you would enter the following condition:
=C[-1] > ID1.SG1[-1]

This checks if the Close of the previous bar is greater than the MA (set here as ID1, but may be different in your setup) at the previous bar. As such, this would cause the current bar to open a position.

Refer to the following:
