showPriceLabels – Whether to show price labels at crossover points (true/false).

Logic

Crossover Detection:

crossUp → price crosses above SMA (buy signal).

crossDown → price crosses below SMA (sell signal).

Draw Horizontal Lines – At candle high and low of crossover:

Green for buy (crossUp)

Red for sell (crossDown)

Lines extend for lineLength bars

Optional Labels – Shows the high/low price at the end of the horizontal line if showPriceLabels is true.

Visualization

Buy crossovers → green horizontal lines and labels.

In short:
This indicator highlights buy/sell points where price crosses the SMA by marking candle highs/lows with colored lines and optional price labels for easy visual reference.
