Moving Average Direction Reversals as Buy and Sell Signals
Summary
This indicator draws a buy arrow when a moving average calculated from closing prices changes direction from falling to rising. It draws a sell arrow when the average changes from rising to falling. The two configurable inputs are the moving-average period and the calculation method, allowing users to choose the smoothing window and type.
The description explains the signal rule but does not provide evidence that it predicts returns, describe how trades should be entered or exited, or specify risk controls. It also gives no test results, market, or timeframe. Because a moving average responds to past prices, direction changes may arrive after a turn has begun; the text does not assess that delay or compare settings. The indicator is therefore a basic chart signal, not a demonstrated standalone strategy.
Key ideas
- The indicator derives its signals from changes in the direction of a moving average of closing prices.
- A shift from falling to rising produces a buy arrow below price.
- A shift from rising to falling produces a sell arrow above price.
- Users can configure the moving-average period and calculation method.
- The description reports no performance tests or risk-management rules.
