2 Moving Averages | Trend Following

Script from: TradingViewSwingTrend following

This trend-following strategy harnesses a duo of moving averages (fast and slow) alongside the Parabolic SAR indicator to track and confirm market trends. Buy signals occur when the fast MA crosses above the slow MA with the current price over the fast MA; sell signals are the inverse. Stop-loss levels are calculated using the Average True Range (ATR) to manage risk efficiently. It offers flexibility to enter or exit positions and to conduct backtesting over selected date ranges.
