SMA Crossover Strategy

📈 Indicator: SMA Crossover Strategy

This strategy uses optimized fast and slow SMA values tailored to popular timeframes for more responsive trend detection. You can let the script auto-select values or manually define your own crossover settings. Clean visual cues and per-candle signal filtering keep your chart sharp and actionable.

🔧 Key Features:
- Auto Mode: Smart defaults for each timeframe with trader-tested pairs
- Manual Mode: User-defined flexibility when custom values are needed
- Signal Clarity: BUY/SELL labels are plotted only once per confirmed candle

🧠 Default Auto Values (Based on Chart Timeframe)

- 1-min: Fast = 5, Slow = 20
- 5-min: Fast = 5, Slow = 10
- 15-min: Fast = 5, Slow = 13
- 30-min: Fast = 15, Slow = 30
- 1-hr: Fast = 50, Slow = 200
- 4-hr: Fast = 20, Slow = 50
- Daily: Fast = 50, Slow = 200
- Weekly: Fast = 10, Slow = 30

If your timeframe isn't matched exactly, the script falls back to sensible defaults.

📊 How to Improve Conviction
SMA crossovers are strong signals when confirmed by other tools. Here are some add-ons you can layer into your chart:

🔍 Confirmation Indicators
- RSI (14): Look for crossovers near RSI crossing 50 or at oversold/overbought zones for momentum confirmation.
- MACD: Use histogram alignment with crossover signals to detect real trend shifts.
- Volume Filters: Pair signals with rising volume for institutional confirmation.

🌀 Trend & Volatility Filters
- ATR (Average True Range): Helps filter signals during consolidation—watch for expanding ATR as a volatility cue.
- ADX: Trade only when ADX > 20 to avoid false signals in ranging markets.
- HMA (Hull MA): A smoother, faster MA that can act as a trend bias overlay.

🔭 Multi-Timeframe Awareness
Overlay higher-timeframe trend indicators (like a daily 200 SMA on an intraday chart) to avoid trading against macro momentum.
