MA Cross with ATR Targets

Overview
The MA Cross with ATR Targets is a comprehensive trading indicator designed for traders who follow moving average crossovers and want precise, ATR-based risk management. It detects crossovers between a fast MA (SMA or EMA) and MA200, then automatically calculates and displays three key levels: Stop Loss, First Take Profit (TP1), and Second Take Profit (TP2) based on ATR multipliers.

Additionally, it includes a multi-timeframe MA200 position table to quickly assess market context across 5min, 15min, 1h, 4h, and 1d timeframes.

Key Features
Moving Average Cross Signals
Detects crossovers between MA20 (configurable as SMA or EMA) and MA200

Visual signals:
Green triangle below bar -> Bullish crossover (MA20 crosses above MA200)
Red triangle above bar -> Bearish crossover (MA20 crosses below MA200)

ATR-Based Target Levels
When a crossover occurs, the indicator automatically plots:

Stop Loss (SL) – Red dashed line
First Take Profit (TP1) – Green dashed line (closer target)
Second Take Profit (TP2) – Green dashed line (main target)

All levels are calculated using the current ATR value with customizable multipliers:

SL Distance = ATR x Stop Multiplier
TP1 Distance = SL Distance x First Take Multiplier
TP2 Distance = SL Distance x Take Multiplier

Multi-Timeframe MA200 Context Table
A compact table in the bottom-left corner shows the position of MA200 relative to current price across five timeframes:
5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1d

Green cell -> Price is above MA200 (bullish bias)
Red cell -> Price is below MA200 (bearish bias)

This helps you quickly assess the broader trend direction before entering a trade.

Signal Display
All historical signals are displayed on the chart

Older signals appear without price scale markers and without background fill for cleaner visualization

Only the most recent signals have full visual formatting

How to Use
Entry Signals
LONG entry when a green triangle appears below the bar (MA20 crosses above MA200)
SHORT entry when a red triangle appears above the bar (MA20 crosses below MA200)

Exit / Management
Stop Loss – Place your stop at the red dashed line
Take Profit 1 (TP1) – Consider taking partial profits at the first green line
Take Profit 2 (TP2) – Full profit target at the second green line

Context Check
Before entering, glance at the bottom-left table:

If most timeframes show green -> strong bullish alignment
If most timeframes show red -> strong bearish alignment
Mixed colors -> exercise caution

Recommended Additional Indicators
For better confluence and higher probability setups, it is recommended to use this indicator alongside:

MACD – for momentum confirmation
RSI – for overbought/oversold conditions
ADX and DI v4 – for trend strength and direction

Tips
Adjust ATR multipliers based on your risk tolerance and the asset's volatility

Use the multi-timeframe table to avoid trading against the larger trend

The indicator works on all timeframes – from 1-minute to monthly charts

Combine with the recommended indicators for additional confirmation

Notes

This is a visual indicator only – it does not execute trades automatically
All levels are calculated based on the closing price of the signal bar
Historical signals remain visible but without price scale markers or background fill for cleaner chart presentation

Phát hành các Ghi chú

The MA Cross with ATR Targets is a comprehensive trading indicator designed for traders who follow moving average crossovers and want precise, ATR-based risk management. It detects crossovers between a fast MA (SMA or EMA) and MA200, then automatically calculates and displays three key levels: Stop Loss, First Take Profit (TP1), and Second Take Profit (TP2) based on ATR multipliers.

In the latest update, the indicator now includes a powerful multi-timeframe table showing both MA200 position and SuperTrend direction across multiple timeframes, helping you make more informed trading decisions.

Key Features

Moving Average Cross Signals - Detects crossovers between MA20 (configurable as SMA or EMA) and MA200
ATR-Based Target Levels - Automatically plots Stop Loss, TP1, and TP2 based on customizable ATR multipliers
Multi-Timeframe Table - Shows MA200 position and SuperTrend direction across 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, 12h, 1d, and 1w timeframes
Trend Strength Visualization - Color-coded cells for quick trend assessment
Smart Price Formatting - Automatically detects correct decimal places and adds leading zeros

Visual Signals

Green triangle below bar → Bullish crossover (MA20 crosses above MA200)
Red triangle above bar → Bearish crossover (MA20 crosses below MA200)
Stop Loss (SL) – Red dashed line
First Take Profit (TP1) – Green dashed line (closer target)
Second Take Profit (TP2) – Green dashed line (main target)

Multi-Timeframe Table

A compact table in the bottom-left corner shows two rows of information:

MA200 Row: Green if price is above MA200, Red if price is below MA200
SuperTrend Row: Green for uptrend, Red for downtrend

The table includes selectable timeframes: 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, 12h, 1d, 1w

How to Use the Table

If all cells are green → strong bullish alignment across all timeframes
If all cells are red → strong bearish alignment across all timeframes
Mixed colors → exercise caution, trend is not uniform
When all cells are the same color, the probability of a successful trade is higher, but always monitor for changes

ATR Calculation

All levels are calculated using the current ATR value with customizable multipliers:

SL Distance = ATR x Stop Multiplier
TP1 Distance = SL Distance x First Take Multiplier
TP2 Distance = SL Distance x Take Multiplier

How to Use

Entry Signals:

LONG entry when a green triangle appears below the bar (MA20 crosses above MA200)
SHORT entry when a red triangle appears above the bar (MA20 crosses below MA200)

Exit / Management:

Stop Loss – Place your stop at the red dashed line
Take Profit 1 (TP1) – Consider taking partial profits at the first green line
Take Profit 2 (TP2) – Full profit target at the second green line

Context Check:

Before entering, check the bottom-left table for multi-timeframe alignment
If most timeframes show green → strong bullish bias
If most timeframes show red → strong bearish bias
Mixed colors → reduced confidence, consider waiting or reducing position size

Important Trading Recommendations

Do not trade when MA200 is flat and the price is in a range (consolidation)
Recommended timeframes: 15 minutes and above
2-minute charts are possible but VERY risky – only for experienced traders
For 2-minute charts, experiment with ATR period set to 7 and adjust multipliers accordingly
Always wait for confirmation – one green or red cell is not enough

Recommended Additional Indicators

For better confluence and higher probability setups, it is recommended to use this indicator alongside:

MACD – for momentum confirmation
RSI – for overbought/oversold conditions
ADX and DI v4 – for trend strength and direction

Tips

Adjust ATR multipliers based on your risk tolerance and the asset's volatility
