eha MA Cross

27 Apr 2020

In the study of time series, and specifically technical analysis of the stock market, a moving-average cross occurs when, the traces of plotting of two moving averages each based on different degrees of smoothing cross each other. Although it does not predict future direction but at least shows trends.

This indicator uses two moving averages, a slower moving average and a faster-moving average. The faster moving average is a short term moving average. A short term moving average is faster because it only considers prices over a short period of time and is thus more reactive to daily price changes.

On the other hand, a long term moving average is deemed slower as it encapsulates prices over a longer period and is more passive. However, it tends to smooth out price noises which are often reflected in short term moving averages.

There are a bunch of parameters that you can set on this indicator based on your needs.
