This indicator shows when the price crosses the defined moving average. It plots a green or red cloud (depending on trend) and the moving average. It also plots an arrow when the trend changes (this can be disabled in 'style'->'labels' in the settings).
The moving average itself can be used as dynamic support/resistance. The trend will change based on your settings (described below). By default the trend will change when the whole bar is above/below the moving average for 2 bars (that's closed). This can be changed by "Source" and "Bars".
Settings • Length (choose the length of the moving average. Defaults to 21)
• Type (choose what type of moving average). - "SMA" (Simple Moving Average) - "EMA" (Exponential Moving Average) - "HMA" (Hull Moving Average) - "WMA" (Weighted Moving Average) - "VWMA" (Volume Weighted Moving Average) - "DEMA" (Double Exponential Moving Average)
Defaults to"EMA".
