Please help! How to show MA cross-over on chart at MA cross level NOT at the price level.. Thanks!

New comment
 

I would like to know how to show MA cross-over at MA cross level (at the lines) NOT at the price level (at the candles)..

I was looking for some sort of function like " SetIndexPosition(Absolute) " i.e. would display the drawing (e.g. arrow or circle) exactly where the cross happened.

Is there a way to do that?

Any help would be much much appreciated! Thanks! ; )


my current code of that section, not sure if this would be in that section or not..!?

  2. If you put the MAs on the chart, they show you the cross. No code required.

  3. You can only draw an arrow at a candle or a line connecting two. You can't draw where they crossed (between two candles.) A line connecting bar 2 onward is the best you can do.
  4. Compute the level where they cross: 
    F = F2 + T(F1-F2)                          // \ Assuming MAs moved 
S = S2 + T(S1-S2)                          // / linear in time.

F2 + Tc(F1-F2) = S2 + Tc(S1-S2)            // The cross is when F == S solve for Tc.

F2-S2 = t(S1-S2)-t(F1-F2) = t(S1-S2 - F1+F2)
Tc = (F2-S2) / (S1-S2 - F1+F2)

Fc = Sc = F2 + Tc(F1-F2) = S2 + Tc(S1-S2)  // Compute the cross price at time of cross.
 
Thank you for prompt reply William! ; )
