Overview

Dual ALMA Crossover Expert enters trades when a fast ALMA crosses a slow ALMA, provided the slope meets a specific threshold and the price is within a defined ATR distance. The system uses a Supertrend indicator for additional trend confirmation and features ATR-based stop loss and take profit levels. It includes a time-of-day filter to restrict trading hours and a reverse crossover mechanism for exits. Note that it requires external indicator and header files to function.
