MA Crossover is a very interesting technical indicator, where forms the basis Moving average. Moving average - MA simply measure the average price or exchange rate of a currency pair over a specific time frame. An indicator frequently used in technical analysis showing the average value of a security's price over a set period. See more on indicators Moving average - MA. MA Crossover is strongly limited levels of 0 to 100, allowing the trader to better see the bottom and peak of the market. By passing a zero-Lines (10 or 90) points to buy or sell. For better business results should be combined with indicator Bollinger Bands, Commodity Channel Index - CCI etc., or with trend indicator, for example Moving average.

//| If an MA crosses above another, the indicator rises |
//| If an MA crosses under another, the indicator falls |
//| If the indicator rises to 100%, every MA is above MAs with higher period |
