SMMA Analyses - Buy / Sell signals and close position signals

1 de abr. de 2018

This script combines the usage of the SMMA indicator in order to provide signals for opening and closing trades, either buy or sell signals.
It uses two SMMA , a fast and a slow one, both configurable by the users.

The trigger of Buy and Sell Signals are calculated through the SMMA crosses:

• Buy Signals: The fast SMMA crosses over the slow SMMA . They are highlighting by a green area and a "B" label.
  
• Sell Signals: The fast SMMA crosses under the slow SMMA . They are highlighting by a red area and a "S" label
  

The trigger of Close Buy and Close Sell Signals are calculated through the close price crosses with the fast SMMA:

• Close Buy Signals: The fast SMMA crosses under the close price and at the same time the trend is bullish , so the fast SMMA is greater than the slow SMMA . They are highlighted by a lighter green area
  
• Close Sell Signals: The fast SMMA crosses over the close price and at the same time the trend is bearish , so the fast SMMA is lower than the slow SMMA . They are highlighted by a lighter red area
  

Few important points about the indicator and the produced signals:

• This is not intended to be a strategy, but an indicator for analyzing the SMMA conditions. It gives you the triggers depending on the real time analysis of the SMMA and prices, but not being a proper strategy, pay attention about "fake signals" and add always a visual analysis to the provided signals
  
• Following this indicator, the trade positions should be opened only when a cross happens. Either in this case, analyse the chart in order to see if the signals are a "weak" ones, due to "waves" around the SMMA . In these cases, you might wait for the next confirmation signals after the waves, when the trend will be better defined
  
• The close trade signals are provided in order to help to understand when you should close the buy or sell trades. Even in this case, always add a visual analysis to the signals, and pay attention to the support/resistance areas. Sometimes, you can have the close signals in correspondence to support/resistance areas: in these cases wait for the definition of the trend and eventually for the next close trade signals if they will be better defined
