Strategy based on Triple Moving Average crossover
Triple MA aligns three moving averages to define direction. When the shortest average is above the middle and long averages a long entry occurs. The reverse alignment opens shorts, and a cross of the short and middle lines closes the trade.
Using three averages helps filter out noise present in single-MA systems. This layered approach seeks to confirm momentum before committing to a trade.
