What does a Moving average cross tell you?
A moving average (MA) indicator is a popular technical analysis trading tool that smooths out price data by creating a constantly updated average price, over a specific time period. Used as a single line by itself, a moving average is often overlaid on price charts to indicate price trends. However, trading with moving averages can be so much more. From multiple moving average strategies, MA slope, expansion or contraction of the averages, price relative to the MA, finding confluence of factors when moving averages align with market structure, chart patterns, technical indicators, volume and much more.
A Moving average crossover occurs when a faster MA (a shorter-period moving average) crosses a slower MA (a longer-period moving average). In other words, this is when the shorter-period MA line crosses a longer-period MA line. In trading & investing, this meeting point can be used to signal a change in trend or market structure.
Price crossovers occur when the price of an asset close above or below a moving average and are commonly used by traders to identify shifts in momentum, especially in a trending market.
I always check my charts and the moving averages prior to taking a position.
Is the price above or below the moving average?
That works better than any tool I have. I try not to go against the moving averages; it is self-destructive.~ Marty Schwartz in Market Wizards: Interviews with Top Traders by Jack Schwager

Common FAQs about our NinjaTrader MA Indicator Bundle
A moving average crossover is a technical analysis signal that occurs when two moving averages of different time periods intersect on a price chart. This is generally when a shorter-term moving average crosses above or below a longer-term moving average, and is used by traders to identify potential shifts in market trends.
Overall, moving average crossovers are popular due to their simplicity and effectiveness in helping traders identify potential market trends and make trading decisions accordingly. However, like all technical indicators, they can produce false signals, so risk management and additional confirmation methods (including market structure) are advisable.
Moving averages are powerful tools in technical analysis that can effectively illustrate trend strength and momentum. Here's how they achieve this:
1. Smoothing Price Data:
Moving averages smooth out price data over a specified period, reducing market noise and allowing traders to see the underlying trend more clearly. This smoothing helps identify whether the market is trending upward, downward, or sideways.
2. Trend Direction:
a) Position Relative to Price: The position of the moving average relative to the current price provides insight into trend direction. If the price is consistently above a moving average, it typically indicates a bullish trend, while prices below a moving average suggest a bearish trend.
b) Slope of the Moving Average: The angle or slope of the moving average itself indicates trend strength. A steep upward slope indicates strong bullish momentum, while a steep downward slope shows strong bearish momentum. A flat moving average suggests a lack of direction or weak trend.
3. Crossovers:
a) Bullish and Bearish Crossovers: When a shorter-term moving average crosses above a longer-term moving average (bullish crossover), it signals increasing upward momentum, suggesting that buyers are gaining strength. Conversely, when a shorter-term moving average crosses below a longer-term moving average (bearish crossover), it indicates increasing downward momentum as sellers take control.
b) Distance Between MAs: The distance between the short-term and long-term moving averages can also reflect trend strength. Wider gaps typically indicate stronger trends, while narrower gaps suggest weakening trends or potential reversals.
4. Dynamic Support and Resistance:
Moving averages can act as dynamic support or resistance levels during trending markets. In an uptrend, for instance, prices may retrace to test a rising moving average before continuing upward. The ability of the price to hold above the moving average signifies ongoing bullish momentum, while failure to do so may suggest weakening strength.
5. Indicating Trend Reversals:
Sudden shifts in the direction of a moving average can indicate potential reversals in trend strength. For example, if an uptrend begins to flatten out and then slopes downward, it may signal that bullish momentum is fading and that a bearish trend could be developing.
6. Combining with Other Indicators:
Moving averages are often used in conjunction with other indicators to provide insights into momentum and trend strength. For example, pairing moving averages with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) can help confirm trends. If prices are above a rising MA while RSI readings indicate overbought conditions, it may signal strong bullish momentum that could soon reverse.
Moving averages can reveal important aspects of trend strength and momentum through their smoothing properties, positional relationships with price, crossovers between different MAs, and their roles as dynamic support and resistance levels.
By understanding how these elements interact, traders can more effectively assess market conditions and make informed trading decisions that align with prevailing trends and momentum shifts.
While moving average (MA) crossovers can provide useful insights into potential market movements and trend changes, they should not be used in isolation as definitive entry or exit signals.
Traders are advised to consider market structure, utilise confirmation from other technical analysis methods, and assess the overall context before acting on a crossover signal. This multifaceted approach helps improve the accuracy of trading decisions and can reduce the risk of whipsaws when decisions are based solely on crossover events.
The area between a short-term and longer-term moving average forms the "cloud" in our technical indicator. The cloud can be shaded differently depending on the selected parameters.
It's also possible to add the indicator to the chart twice, with different MA settings and different MA cloud colours for each.
Absolutely!
Virtually every aspect of our indicators is customisable.
From significant aspects like which type of moving average to use (we offer 12 different types, including SMA, EMA, WMA, DEMA, HMA, TMA, VMA, ZLEMA and more) to the colours of the cloud and slope changes, most aspects can be customised to your preferences, trading style, and tailored alerts to suit your unique trade strategies.
