Dual Simple Moving Average with Price Condition

24 mag

The "Dual Simple Moving Average with Price Condition" indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell opportunities by analyzing the relationship between two Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) and the price action.

Features:

1. Simple Moving Averages (SMAs):
   

• The indicator uses two SMAs: a short-term SMA and a long-term SMA.
  
• The lengths of these SMAs can be customized to suit the trader’s preferences and trading style.
  
• Crossover Signals:
  

• Buy signals are generated when the short-term SMA crosses above the long-term SMA.
  
• Sell signals are generated when the short-term SMA crosses below the long-term SMA.
  
• Price Condition:
  

To enhance the reliability of the signals, the indicator includes a price condition:

• A buy signal is only confirmed if, at the time of the crossover, the closing price is at its maximum over a specified period.
  

• A sell signal is only confirmed if, at the time of the crossover, the closing price is at its minimum over a specified period.
  

The period for determining the maximum and minimum price can be customized by the user.
Visual Alerts:

• Green "Buy" labels are displayed below the bars when a buy signal is confirmed.
  

• Red "Sell" labels are displayed above the bars when a sell signal is confirmed.
  
• How to Use:
  

Adjust the Inputs:

• Customize the lengths of the short-term and long-term SMAs according to your trading strategy.
  

• Set the period over which to evaluate the maximum and minimum prices.
  
• Interpret the Signals:
  

Use the crossover of the short-term and long-term SMAs as the primary signal.
Confirm the signal by checking if the price condition is met (price at its maximum or minimum for the specified period).
Trade Entry and Exit:

Enter a long position when a green "Buy" label appears below the bar.
Enter a short position or exit a long position when a red "Sell" label appears above the bar.
Trading Tip: You can use the indicator best in higher timeframes, such as 4-hour (4H) and daily charts, along with a trend line. This approach helps to avoid false signals that may occur due to frequent crossings of the short and long-term SMAs on lower timeframes.

This indicator is suitable for various financial instruments including stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. By combining moving average crossovers with price conditions, it provides a robust mechanism for identifying high-probability trading opportunities.
