The two line moving average study uses two moving averages of different lengths to determine buy and sell triggers for a given security.

What Is Moving Average Two Lines?

The two line moving average plots two moving averages of different lengths, but of the same type. The type of moving average can be simple, exponential, weighted, Wilder’s, or Hull. 

A buy signal occurs when the shorter-term moving average crosses above the longer-term moving average.

A sell signal occurs when the longer-term moving average crosses above the shorter-term moving average.

Two Line Moving Average is just one of many studies that Archaide automates. For a full list of strategies and studies available click here.
