**Two Moving Averages Crossover with Time-Based Signal Validation**

This indicator helps traders identify buy and sell signals based on the crossover of two user-defined moving averages, with an additional feature to validate signals within a specific time window. It is particularly useful for traders looking to filter out signals that occur outside of a set trading session or specific market hours.



**Key Features:**
1. **Two Moving Averages**:
- A shorter moving average (default: 10-period) and a longer moving average (default: 100-period).
- The crossover of these two moving averages generates buy or sell signals.

2. **Buy Signal**:
- Triggered when the shorter moving average crosses **above** the longer moving average, indicating a potential upward trend.

3. **Sell Signal**:
- Triggered when the shorter moving average crosses **below** the longer moving average, indicating a potential downward trend.

4. **Time-Based Signal Validation**:
- Users can specify a **start time** and **end time** (in UTC) during which the crossover signals are considered valid.
- This feature is particularly useful for traders who want to trade only within certain sessions (e.g., London or New York) or during specific hours when market activity is high.

**How to Use**:
1. Adjust the **shorter** and **longer** moving average periods in the input settings to match your trading strategy. The default values are set to 10 and 100, but you can modify these to fit different market conditions.
2. Set the **valid time range** using the start and end time inputs. The indicator will only generate signals within this time window, helping you avoid trades in low-volatility periods.
3. **Buy Signals** appear when the shorter moving average crosses above the longer moving average, indicating potential upward momentum.
4. **Sell Signals** appear when the shorter moving average crosses below the longer moving average, indicating potential downward momentum.

**Ideal Markets and Trading Styles**:
- This crossover strategy can be applied to **stocks**, **indices**, **forex**, **commodities**, and **crypto markets**.
- It's well-suited for **intraday traders**, **swing traders**, and those looking to trade during specific time windows or market sessions.
- Stocks like **Apple**, **Tesla**, and **Amazon**, as well as currency pairs like **EUR/USD** and **XAU/USD**, can benefit from this strategy.

By publishing this tool, traders can capitalize on moving average crossovers while focusing on specific timeframes with high market activity. This approach offers a balanced and flexible trading strategy across various markets.
