Moving Average Signal Module with Configurable Trade Direction

Summary

SignalMAAboveBelow 2 is a trading signal module based on a moving average. Its parameters let a user choose the averaging period, horizontal shift, smoothing method, and price input used to calculate the average. A reverse flag can invert the generated signals, while a trade-type setting selects buy signals, sell signals, or both.

The document describes the available controls and refers to examples of opening long and short positions when reversal is disabled. It does not specify the precise price-versus-average conditions that trigger a signal, explain how positions are closed, or provide risk controls, performance results, or backtest evidence. As a result, it outlines a configurable indicator-based signal component rather than a complete trading strategy. Its practical behavior would depend on the implementation and parameter choices, which are not evaluated in the text.

Key ideas

• The module generates trading signals using a moving average.
• Users can configure the average’s period, shift, smoothing method, and applied price.
• A reversal option can invert the signals.
• The trade-type setting allows buy signals, sell signals, or both.
• The description provides no trigger details, exit rules, or performance evidence.
