Simple MA X-Overs
« on: April 28, 2012, 07:05:06 AM »
You have some great MA crossovers as alerts, but I can't seem to find any with just price and the MA.  For example, is there a simple alert that happens whenever price crosses the 5 minute, 20 period SMA.  Or the 20 period at 10 and 60 minutes.  Pullbacks to MA's is a common trading strategy, but I don't see such alerts.   I would use this against a list of stocks selected through other filters.   I tried to make a custom filter for the MA crossover, but that doesn't seem to work so well.

Thanks.

In order to do what you want you simply use the filters in combination with various kinds of alerts.  If  you want we can set up a training session to show you how to do that.  Just shoot an email to info@trade-ideas.com and it will be coordinated

Thanks for the response.  I am somewhat familiar with TI, as I have been using it for a few years.

But, I don't think there is any simple alert that signals when price crosses/falls below the 20 period SMA on a 5 minute basis/chart.  Have i missed that?

Thanks.
