MA Cross 3 MACross Alert WarnSig has four indicator buffers:
- Two buffers ('Cross Up' and 'Cross Down') draw arrows at the intersection that did not occur on the current bar.
- Two buffers ('Cross Ghost Up' and 'Cross Ghost Down') draw arrows at the intersection that occurred on the current bar.
The two ghost buffers indicate the initial intersection, which can be useful for scalping.
The indicator treats bar indexing as follows: all indicator buffers and used arrays (high, low, close, true, time) are indexed such that the rightmost bar on the chart corresponds to index #0.
