Moving Average Crossover

A crossover occurs when a faster Moving Average (a shorter period moving average) crosses either above or below a slower (i.e. longer period) moving average. A crossover that moves above a slower MA is considered a bullish crossover; one that moves below is considered a bearish crossover.

To apply an MA Crossover

  1. From within a chart, from the Edit menu select Studies.
  2. Choose MA Crossover and click Add to add the study to the Applied Studies group.
  3. Complete parameters as necessary.

Once the study is defined, you can elect to uncheck/check to remove and add the study to your chart.
