Description
FRZ MA Cross Arrows for MT4 & MT5
FRZ MA Cross Arrows is a simple non-repainting indicator that shows the cross overs of two moving averages that can be defined under settings. This is a very easy entry indicator that can be used along with other indicators.
How to use: you get an up arrow when the faster (lower period) MA crosses above the slower (higher period) MA, and a down arrow when it crosses below. These arrows can be potential buy and sell trades. It is better to use this indicator with other confirmation indicators that you may have.
By default a cross is only marked once the next candle has closed on the same side, which filters out crosses that reverse straight away. Arrows are never redrawn once shown, and you can get an alert for each new arrow.

Settings
Installation: in MetaTrader, open File > Open Data Folder, copy the .ex4 file into MQL4/Indicators (MT4) or the .ex5 file into MQL5/Indicators (MT5), restart MetaTrader, then drag the indicator from Navigator > Indicators onto your chart. The settings below appear on the indicator’s Inputs tab, numbered the same way.
MA Settings
- Fast MA Period (default: 10) – period of the faster moving average.
- Fast MA Method (default: Exponential) – Simple, Exponential, Smoothed or Linear Weighted.
- Slow MA Period (default: 20) – period of the slower moving average.
- Slow MA Method (default: Simple) – Simple, Exponential, Smoothed or Linear Weighted.
- MA Price (default: Close price) – the price both averages are calculated on.
- Confirm Cross on the Next Candle (default: true) – when true, an arrow is shown only if the next candle also closes with the averages still crossed (the arrow appears one candle after the cross). Set to false to get the arrow as soon as the cross candle closes – earlier, but with more false crosses.
Alert Settings
- Alert Notification (default: true) – shows a MetaTrader alert popup with the details, pair and timeframe.
- Sound Notification (default: true) – plays a sound with the alert.
- Email Notification (default: false) – sends the alert by email. Set up your email account first under Tools > Options > Email.
- Phone Notification (default: false) – sends a push notification to the MetaTrader mobile app. Enter your MetaQuotes ID under Tools > Options > Notifications first.
Each new arrow triggers its notifications once. Notifications are only sent for new arrows while the indicator is running, not for arrows already on the chart when it loads.
Display Settings
- Buy Arrow Color (default: lawn green) – colour of the up arrows.
- Sell Arrow Color (default: deep pink) – colour of the down arrows.
- Arrow Size (default: 3) – arrow thickness, from 1 to 5.
- Max History Bars (default: 5000) – how many candles are checked when the indicator loads. Set 0 for the full history.
