SMA Cross Prevention
Traditional MA crossover indicators are reactive — they tell you a cross happened after the fact.
This indicator is prescriptive — it tells you exactly what price action is required to prevent a cross from happening.
The Core Insight
When a fast MA is above a slow MA but they're converging, traders ask: "Will we get a death cross?"
This indicator answers a more useful question:
"What is the minimum price path required to prevent the cross?"
By treating the MA structure as a constraint and solving for the required input (future prices), we transform a lagging indicator into a forward-looking risk assessment tool.
