Smart MA CrossoverThe Smart MA Crossover indicator is a trend-following tool designed to help traders identify high-probability buy and sell signals based on a dynamic moving average and volume confirmation.
This indicator allows traders to customize the moving average type (SMA, EMA, HMA, WMA, VWMA, SMMA, or VWAP) while incorporating an ATR-based filter for better signal clarity.
How It Works
The script analyzes price movements in relation to a selected moving average and volume conditions to generate trend-based trade signals:
🟢 Buy Signal:
- Price is trading above the moving average for at least two bars.
- A sudden upward momentum is detected (price > open * 1.005).
- Volume is higher than the 50-period SMA of volume.
- The price was trading below the moving average three bars ago.
🔴 Sell Signal:
- Price is trading below the moving average for at least two bars.
- A sudden downward movement is detected (price < open * 0.995).
- Volume is higher than the 50-period SMA of volume.
- The price was trading above the moving average three bars ago.
- When these conditions are met, a label appears on the chart, marking the potential trade signal.
