study("Moving Average Cross Alert, Multi-Timeframe Option (MTF) (by ChartArt)", shorttitle="CA_-_MA_cross", overlay=true)

// ChartArt's Moving Average Cross Indicator
//
// Version 1.0
// Idea by ChartArt on September 15, 2015.
//
// This indicator shows when two moving averages cross.
// With the option to choose between four moving
// average calculations:
// (SMA = simple moving average)
// (EMA = exponential moving average)
// (WMA = weighted moving average)
// (Linear = Linear regression)
//
// The moving averages can be plotted from different
// timeframes, like the weekly or 4 hour timeframe.
// With the possibility to use HL2, HLC3 or OHLC4 prices.
// 
// In addition there is a background color alert
// and arrows when the moving averages cross each other.
// And the moving averages are colored depending if
// they are trending up or down.
//
