2 Moving Average Cross Signals
Updated
This indicator is meant to aid those who use Moving Average crosses as part of their trading strategy. This can be used to help identify turning points in trends.
You can customize what timeframe the MAs are derived from (e.g. can use current timeframe, or can hold it to 1d timeframe across all other timeframes)
When the fast and slow MAs cross each other, the background of the candle where the cross happened will be highlighted green or red (changeable), this will help visualize where the crosses are happening, regardless of whether or not you actually want the moving average lines printed on the charts. This could help keep the chart less cluttered.
Finally, you can choose between SMAs, EMAs, WMAs, and Linear MAs.
Enjoy

Release Notes
Fixed the background coloring for MA crossesRelease Notes
Now you have the option to change the type of each moving average independently. So for example you could use the 9 sma with a 45 ema, like Cardwell uses with his RSI.
Release Notes
Now the defaults are different, and the background colors for the crosses are more transparent. Now the default settings are 9 and 45, and can be used in combination with my new Sexy RSI indicator which also has 9 and 45 MAs on it.
Enjoy!
Release Notes
Fixed pictureRelease Notes
New defaults (9 and 45) to match Andrew Cardwell's RSI strategy. Lines up nicely with the Sexy RSI script I will be publishing soon.Also changed the background changes to not be so intense. Looks nicer for dark mode.
Release Notes
Something went wrong with the last update. Fixing that. Release Notes
Updated the script to allow for alerts to be made for the moving average crosses. Unfortunately PineScript does not allow for variables in the default alert messages, so there is no way for me to include the trading pair symbol in the default message. I am sorry for this!
Release Notes
Decreased the transparency of the background colors so they are slightly more visible. Open-source script
