Yes, with a fee-free account on Moo moo, you can create custom indicators to generate buy or sell signals. Here's how you can do it:
Creating Custom Indicators
-
Access the Charting Tools: Open the Moo moo app and navigate to the charting section.
-
Add a Custom Indicator:
-
Tap on the chart settings.
-
Select "Indicators" and then choose "Add Indicator."
-
From the list, select "Custom Indicator" to begin crafting your own.
-
-
Define Your Indicator:
-
Use the M language to write your custom formula.
-
For example, you can create a moving average crossover strategy:
-
When a fast-moving average crosses above a slow-moving average, it generates a buy signal.
-
Conversely, when the fast-moving average crosses below the slow-moving average, it generates a sell signal.
-
-
-
Test Your Indicator:
-
After defining your formula, click "Test" to see how it performs with historical data.
-
-
Apply to Chart:
-
Once satisfied, apply the custom indicator to your chart to visualize the signals.
-
Setting Alerts Based on Custom Indicators
-
Create Alerts:
-
Navigate to your custom indicator settings.
-
Set alerts for specific conditions, such as when the indicator crosses a certain threshold.
-
You can receive notifications via push messages or pop-ups on the desktop platform when these conditions are met.
-
Automating Trades with Moo moo API
If you're interested in automating your trading strategies:
-
Moo-moo OpenAPI:
-
Moo moo offers an OpenAPI that allows for programmed trading.
-
You can use this API to implement your custom indicators and automate buy/sell decisions.
-
-
Strategy Example:
-
For instance, a strategy might use two moving averages:
-
If the fast-moving average (MA1) is greater than or equal to the slow-moving average (MA3), it signals a buy.
-
If MA1 is less than MA3, it signals a sell.
-
-
This strategy can be coded using languages like Python, Java, or JavaScript.
-
-
Paper Trading:
-
Before live trading, you can test your automated strategies using Moo-moo's paper trading feature.
-
This allows you to simulate trades without real financial risk.
