Introduction to the CTA-MA bot

1. What is MA?

A moving average (MA) is a statistic that captures the average change in a data series over time, and different averages are then connected to form a MA curve. The slope of the MA reflects the market trend, and depending on different time windows, MA can be used to determine the short-term and long-term market trends, which is helpful for trend tracking.

The formula is as follows:

Where,

T is the time point of the most recent candlestick chart, T-1 is the time point of the previous chart, and T-N+1 is the time point of the previous N-1 chart.

2. MA indicator bot

The MA indicator is suitable for tracking trends in trending markets. A long window and a short window must be identified first, with the short one corresponding to the short-term moving average and the long one corresponding to the long-term moving average. Generally speaking, when the short-term moving average crosses above the long-term moving average, it indicates the beginning of an uptrend or the end of a downtrend, a good time to go long. When the short-term moving average crosses below the long-term moving average, it signals the beginning of a downtrend or the end of an uptrend, a good time to go short.

• Go Long when the MA short-term moving average crosses above the long-term moving average (golden cross).

• Go Short when the MA short-term moving average crosses below the long-term moving average (death cross)
