Description
Instead of using the popular MA periods like 50, 100, 200, or Fibonacci numbers, I prefer to use the actual periods of the daily, weekly, monthly or even yearly to get its average price. It's just making more sense for me.
For example, I want to know what the H4 price is doing compare to its monthly average price. So I will use 120 periods on my MA, assuming that 120 bars on H4 chart equals to 1 bar of monthly chart. For weekly average price, I will use that 120 periods on H1 chart, and to get daily average price, I use 96 periods on 15 minutes chart.
However it's not that practical if I switch to lower timeframe but still want to keep looking at the monthly average price for example, since I have to change the periods to 480 on H1 chart, and 1920 on 15 mins chart. Though it can be saved as a template, I don't think that large number really represents the actual average price.
This indicator tries to solve this issue. Not only not to always change the periods when switching between timeframes, it also keeps the average price value of the selected timeframe.
The indicator also lets you clearly see the trend. If the close average line is above the open line, you are on an uptrend, and vise versa. The distance between open, close, and median lines also signs the healthy of the trend.
On exhausting trend, sideways, sometimes pullbacks, the close and open lines will be closer to each other.
The crossing of the close and open lines can be assumed as a trend reversal (you have to also confirm it by checking the price action).
Please note that if you are using the non smoothing line, the last bar of the selected timeframe is still running and not closed yet, so you will see the high, low, close, and median lines of the last periods are changing especially on minutes timeframe.
Features:
- Multi timeframes
- Available MAs: Simple, Exponential, Hull, Weighted, Wilder Smoothing, Time Series, Triangular, Vidya
- Smoothing and non smoothing lines
Cheers.
