LWMA is short for linear weighted moving average.
This type of moving average puts more weight to the latest data and is less lagging than the default moving average.
The LMWA Crossover Signals indicator for MT4 generates real-time buy and sell trading arrows directly on the chart for any currency pair and timeframe.
The arrows are based on the crossover of 2 LMWA’s with different period. One with longer period and one with shorter period.
- Buy signals: green arrow
- Sell Signals: red arrow
The values of the faster and slower LWMA can be changed from the indicator’s input tab.
It works for short-term signals (scalping, day trading) and longer-term signals (swing trading, position trading).
