Description
Moving Average Crossover is a study which helps you find crossovers of moving averages of different types and lengths. The following moving averages can be used: simple, exponential, weighted, Wilder's, or Hull.
The general idea of moving average-based analysis is combining two moving averages with different lengths: short and long. It is considered a Buy signal when the short average crosses above the long one; Sell signal, if the long average surpasses the short one.
