Variables would be
1) Choice of MA, ie SMA, EMA etc
2) MA Value
3) Applied Price choice of a Median (High +Low)/2
4) Shift
5) Alert option of Audible with Pop Up and Visual Chart Alert (Visual is a Dot above/below Bar, with colour choice and size)

Thanks

Thanks,

Almost, except the concept behind this touch of the MA by price is based on a Pullback, currently if price touches the MA in the direction its travelling it generates a signal, what I was hoping for was you get a signal if price retraces back to the MA.

eg, Price is in a down trend and retraces back to an MA, when it touches it you get a signal to go Short, ie a dot appears above the bar, so its like the opposite to what it does now

Thanks

How do we define Pullback,
if the price retraces within x candles.

Hi,

I too am looking for an indicator (EMA) that will alert when price touches/crosses it at any point whilst drawing a candle, not just the close. I would like to use it as a signal to exit a trade early.

cheers,
