Main Definition.

The SmaCross Users Strategy makes trades based on two Simple Moving Average (SMA) lines crossing. First line is "Fast" SMA with time period 10, second line is "Slow" SMA with time period 30. If SMA 10 line crosses SMA 30 line from up to down, then the strategy opens a buy order, otherwise if SMA 10 crosses line SMA 30 line from down to up, then the strategy opens a sell order. For storing several data like SMA indicator value, indicator period, take proffit value e.t.c the strategy needs Variable's.

Variables.

The SmaCross Users strategy has 4 variables to store last and previous candle Fast/Slow SMA values, also 6 default variable described above in the Tooltips section.

• smaBigCurrent - Variable for storing current Candle slow(Big) SMA indicator value.
