Trying below script in Pine Script version 5. No errors in scripts. But, it doesn't show any results in backtest. Can anyone please help?

strategy.entry("buy", strategy.long, limit=close[1], when = ta.crossover(ma1,ma2) and ma2 > ma3 and ma3 > ma4 and window())
//Exit
strategy.close("sell", when = closeLong and window())****
the error is in the last line , strategy.close("sell", when = closeLong and window())
when you use the strategy.close() function then you have to provide the same trade id as in the strategy.entry() function , you have placed a unknown id "sell" which is never used to enter any trade with this ID.
The following is the updated code and working code.
