How It Works
The Strategy Logic
BUY Signal (Entry):

Triggers when the Fast MA crosses ABOVE the Slow MA
Entry price: Closing price of the signal candle
A blue label appears showing the entry price

SELL Signal (Exit):

Triggers when the Fast MA crosses BELOW the Slow MA
Exit price: Opening price of the signal candle
A green/red label appears showing exit price and profit/loss percentage

Resets when you change the backtest period
Useful for recent performance analysis

All-Time Statistics

Never resets
Shows overall strategy performance

Key Metrics:

Total Return %: Overall profit/loss percentage
Win Rate: Percentage of profitable trades
Number of Trades: Total completed trades
Final Capital: Ending balance after all trades
Average Duration: Average bars held per trade


Optimization Feature
The indicator automatically tests 45 different MA combinations and ranks them by performance.
Tested Combinations:

Fast MA: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90
Slow MA: 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100
Only valid pairs where Fast < Slow

How to Use:

Enable "Show Optimization Table" in settings
View the table showing top-performing combinations

Manually adjust your MA settings to match the optimal values


Best Practices
For Beginners

Start with default settings (20/30 SMA)
Test on 500 bars to see recent performance
Look for combinations with high win rate (>50%)
Prefer strategies with reasonable trade frequency (not too many/few)

For Advanced Users

Experiment with different MA types (EMA for faster response, SMA for smoothness)
Test various timeframes (4H, 1D, 1W)
Combine with other indicators for confirmation
Consider market conditions (trending vs ranging)

Risk Management Tips
⚠️ Always use stop-losses (indicator doesn't include stops)
⚠️ Past performance doesn't guarantee future results
⚠️ Verify signals with volume and price action
⚠️ Start with small position sizes when live trading

Troubleshooting
Problem: No signals appearing

Check if Fast MA < Slow MA in length
Increase backtest bar count
Verify indicator is applied correctly

Problem: Too many signals

Increase MA lengths (less sensitivity)
Try slower MA types (SMA instead of EMA)
Switch to higher timeframe

Problem: Labels overlapping

Reduce zoom level
Disable labels and use signal markers only
Adjust line width to make chart cleaner
