What’s a Moving Average?

Moving averages (MAs) smooth price over time to cut through noise, show trend direction, strength, and potential reversal points. MAs are often used to spot bias, confirm signals, and find support/resistance.
An 'EMA' is a type of moving average which gives recent data greater weight in averaging calculations & is more responsive to sudden market shifts than a simple moving average.

What’s an EMA Crossover?

Shorter EMAs respond faster than longer EMAs.
A crossover is when the short EMA crosses above long (bullish) & a crossunder is when the short EMA crosses below long (bearish). Simple, effective trend-following.

How CrossyBot Uses EMAs

Standard mode:
Higher timeframe sets the trend bias & Lower timeframe crossover confirms entry - ensuring entries are always aligned with broader market momentum.

E.g. 1H is bullish, 5min crosses up → go long.

One Shot mode:
Enters on next matching Lower timeframe EMA cross.

When Does CrossyBot Exit Trades

If EMAs cross against your trade when in profit (signalling trend end) - your trade will be exited.
All other trades will remain open & monitored until a profitable EMA cross or stop-loss has been hit.
