Fast v Slow Moving Averages Strategy (Variable) [divonn1994]

Script from: TradingViewLongTermTrend followingMomentum

Employ the Fast v Slow Moving Averages Strategy by setting two distinct moving averages on your chart: a fast and a slow one. Initiate a long position when the Fast Moving Average crosses above the Slow Moving Average, indicating possible upward price momentum. Conversely, exit when the Fast retraces below the Slow, signaling downward momentum. Tailor the strategy by selecting different types of moving averages and adjusting their lengths, optimizing based on historical net profit data.
