FSTO Indicator: Fast Slow Trend Oscillator
Introduction
The FSTO (Fast Slow Trend Oscillator) is a powerful momentum indicator designed to identify trend direction, strength, and potential reversal points in financial markets. Based on the relationship between short-term and long-term exponential moving averages (EMAs), FSTO provides clear visual signals and actionable alerts to help traders make informed decisions.

How It Works
FSTO calculates the difference between two EMAs:

复制
FSTO Line = EMA(close, shortPeriod) - EMA(close, longPeriod)
Signal Line = EMA(FSTO, signalPeriod)
The indicator then:

Identifies when FSTO crosses above/below zero (trend change)
Detects when FSTO crosses above/below its signal line (entry/exit signals)
Visualizes momentum strength through color zones
Provides real-time alerts for key events
