Overview

9day Swing plots these moving averages in red, yellow and white or gray respectively. The indicator generates buy and sell signals as green and red arrows when the lower candle wick crosses the appropriate moving average threshold. Strong buy and strong sell signals appear when multiple moving averages align in the same direction. The main settings control whether each moving average is displayed and whether the SMA 200 trend direction is colored.
