FAQ
What makes this a crossover rather than a comparison?
It checks both previous and current EMA relationships to detect a transition from at or below to above.
Why use EMA 13 and EMA 50?
They provide a reviewed fast-versus-slow example using lengths supported by the current preset rules.
Can I change the EMA lengths?
You can use supported preset lengths. Custom lengths depend on current plan entitlements.
Can I add RSI or volume confirmation?
Yes when the added condition is supported and the current plan includes multi-condition alerts.
