2 Moving Average Cross Signals

number_juan Updated   
This indicator is meant to aid those who use Moving Average crosses as part of their trading strategy. This can be used to help identify turning points in trends.

You can customize what timeframe the MAs are derived from (e.g. can use current timeframe, or can hold it to 1d timeframe across all other timeframes)

When the fast and slow MAs cross each other, the background of the candle where the cross happened will be highlighted green or red (changeable), this will help visualize where the crosses are happening, regardless of whether or not you actually want the moving average lines printed on the charts. This could help keep the chart less cluttered.

Finally, you can choose between SMAs, EMAs, WMAs, and Linear MAs.

Enjoy
Release Notes:
Fixed the background coloring for MA crosses
Release Notes:
Now you have the option to change the type of each moving average independently.

So for example you could use the 9 sma with a 45 ema, like Cardwell uses with his RSI.
Release Notes:
Now the defaults are different, and the background colors for the crosses are more transparent.

Now the default settings are 9 and 45, and can be used in combination with my new Sexy RSI indicator which also has 9 and 45 MAs on it.

Enjoy!
Release Notes:
Fixed picture
Release Notes:
New defaults (9 and 45) to match Andrew Cardwell's RSI strategy. Lines up nicely with the Sexy RSI script I will be publishing soon.

Also changed the background changes to not be so intense. Looks nicer for dark mode.
Release Notes:
Something went wrong with the last update. Fixing that.
Release Notes:
Updated the script to allow for alerts to be made for the moving average crosses.

Unfortunately PineScript does not allow for variables in the default alert messages, so there is no way for me to include the trading pair symbol in the default message. I am sorry for this!
Release Notes:
Decreased the transparency of the background colors so they are slightly more visible.
