Wilder Moving Average Crossovers for Trend Direction

Summary

This strategy uses Wilder-style running moving averages of closing price with default lengths of 20 and 55. It enters long when the shorter average crosses above the longer average and enters short when it crosses below, using the crossover direction as a trend signal. The script exposes a signal-length input, but that input is not used in the displayed entry logic, which is based solely on the two averages.

The description suggests the approach for analyzing a longer-period trend with a daily hedge, but gives no detailed hedge rules, exit logic beyond the opposing crossover, risk controls, or backtest results. It is a minimal crossover specification, and the document does not establish its performance or suitability for any particular instrument or timeframe.

Key ideas

• The strategy compares Wilder-style running averages with default periods of 20 and 55.
• A bullish crossover of the shorter average over the longer average triggers a long entry.
• A bearish crossover triggers a short entry.
• The listed signal-length input does not affect the displayed crossover rules.
• The page provides no detailed hedge method, risk controls, or performance evidence.
