Overview
MA Cross Scale In utilizes a simple moving average crossover strategy for initial trade entries. The primary feature is a function that detects when a current position has reached a specific profit target to trigger additional orders in the same direction. As a tutorial placeholder, the implementation is intentionally incomplete, lacking built-in trailing stops or loss-management functions. It allows users to configure moving average periods and the dollar-based profit threshold for scaling.
- Moving average crossover entry logic
- Profit-based position scaling function
- Configurable fast and slow MA periods
- Adjustable dollar amount profit target
- Educational framework for position management
