Overview

Users can select from exponential, simple, running, weighted, or volume-weighted moving average types. It automatically detects and highlights crossover events, specifically marking Golden Crosses when the fast MA crosses above the slow MA and Death Crosses when it crosses below. Configurable input settings allow users to adjust periods, colors, line widths, and toggle cross markers or text labels.
