I'm putting together a basic moving average cross where the cross will trigger a trade.
I put the lookback period on the cross to "4" and have a separate condition where the fast moving avg is either greater than or less than the slow moving avg (depending on the cross) as a confirmation. Moving averages can stay together or intertwine for an extended period. I am looking for the trade to be triggered based on the cross but actually occur once the averages diverge, if they indeed diverge in the direction of said cross. If they diverge in the opposite direction of the cross, than trade wouldn't occur. Any thoughts on which conditions can do that for me. Any help is most appreciated.
Thanks
