Moving Average Cross Over indicator

By The Lazy Trader (http://www.the-lazy-trader.com)

Description

The Moving Average Cross Over is a highly customizable indicator that displays the cross of two
moving averages of your choice. The indicator sends alerts via email (with attached screenshot
of the chart), via mobile notification to your mobile device (Android, iPhone, iPad), and
additionally pop up message and/or sound alerts in the Metatrader platform. That’s four
different ways to alert the user. The periods of the moving averages can be customized, as well
as the method (Simple, Exponential, Smoothed, Weighted), the applied price (Close, Open, High
or Low) and the colors.

Here's the indicator in action displaying crosses of the 10 and 20 Simple Moving Averages:

This Moving Average Cross Over indicator was built for the Metatrader platform. The real
power and what makes it unique is its ability to alert the user via sound alarm, pop up message,
mobile notification and email with screen shot of the chart attached along with its high degree
of customization.
