Description
The Moving Average CrossOver strategy uses the crossing of a fast moving average of price data above or below a slow moving average of price data to spot the beginning of a trend. You select the type of moving average (SMA, EMA, HMA, ALMA, WMA, TMA, TEMA, VOLMA, or VWMA). You select the number of bars for the fast and slow moving averages. The strategy buys when the fast moving average crosses above the slow one and sells (sells short) when the fast moving average crosses below the slow one. A ForceIndex indicator can be used to confirm the trend. This indicator buys when the price change times volume goes above a specified range and sells when the price change times volume goes below a specified range. You set the program to use either indicator to trade or both in tandem. That is, the program will only trade when both strategies give the signal to buy (or sell) at the same time.
