A clean, simple, and highly visual indicator that detects crossovers between two Simple Moving Averages (SMA) and displays everything clearly on the chart.
Key Features:
- Large colored arrows right at the exact crossover point → Lime Green ↑ → Bullish crossover (potential buy) → Red ↓ → Bearish crossover (potential sell)
- Permanent status panel in the top-right corner of the chart → Type of the latest crossover (BULLISH / BEARISH / WAITING) → Exact date and time of the crossover → Configured periods of the moving averages
- 100% non-repainting
- Prevents duplicate signals on the same bar
- Prints messages to the log each time a crossover occurs (great for tracking)
- Very lightweight – works perfectly on any timeframe
My favorite way to use it (and the one I recommend):
I apply it simultaneously on the Weekly, Daily, H4, and H1 timeframes of the same currency pair.
I mainly take entries on H1, but having the indicator on the higher timeframes gives me a very powerful overall view of the pair's dominant direction:
- Are the bullish/bearish crossovers aligned across Weekly and Daily? → Higher probability
- Conflicting signals between timeframes? → Better to wait or reduce position size
Popular configurations that work well:
- 9 / 21
- 10 / 30
- 21 / 50
- 50 / 200 (especially useful on Weekly and Daily charts)
Perfect for both beginners (thanks to its clear visuals and simplicity) and experienced traders looking for a clean base to combine with Price Action, support/resistance, or volume.
