All about MA & Variant

MaByMa


The essence of the indicator: the Moving Average [MA] of the other Moving Average [MA]
An excellent alternative to two simple Moving Average trend trading systems. Conducted studies clearly show significant advantages of the signaling system of the system based on two moving averages - so it is recommended that all traders who enjoys moving average, go for light MaByMa.

The main advantage of an indicator that the counselors based on it can very quickly be tested and optimized.

Just one EA found mased on MA: eur/usd trend catcher - expert for MetaTrader 4 (attached).

Quote:

---

• The EA catches long trends by crossing a moving average on 15min time frame.
• The EA has 50 pip noise filter which prevents the EA to jump on every little move.
• Tested on 15min EUR/USD pair between 2001 and 2010 with 90% history accuracy with great results.
• Most of the time the EA loses, however one T.P overcomes 17 losses !

---

The settings suggested by the author:
- EURUSD;
- M15 timeframe only;
- tp = 350 pips
- sl = 20 pips

I think - it may be sl = 100 and tp = 100 or 35 ....
I do not believe in such EAs but anyway ...

This is interesting indicator: Subway - indicator for Metatrader 4.

This is improved version of MA Channel where we can see the levels - some levels can be take profit levels, and the opposite levels are acting as the stop loss for example.

Attachment 17796

The improvement (and that is why this indicator is very interesting) is the following: there is the other MA (such as 'quick' MA) which is acting instead of price in our case. We know that the signal for MA Channel indicators are the following: the price is crossing the MA. So, we are having the following improvement here - this is the quick MA is crossing the slow MA.

The indicator is having alert.

ND

There appears to be 2 versions of the Sidus indicator.

The first version (available as an mql5 indicator) is based on EMA and WMA tunnel crossovers. The second version (the one you have posted) seems to use a EMA tunnel and RSI cross, however I did notice some comments that it repaints.

I will give the second version a quick try to see if it repaints. (ND: the arrows aren't working properly - they appear when there is not a cross - not sure if Igorad can fix or if this is another for the holy grail file)

Are you aware of a mql4 version of the first version, or is it possible to convert from the mql5 version?

The sidus_v_2 also repaints.

If you have a look at the code you can see the main loop is defined as :

for(int i=1; i<limit; i++)

This is probably why it repaints. I changed the loop to work the other way round, and then the signals look terrible.

for(int i=limit; i>=0; i--)

This is classical approach with 2 Moving Averages indicators, beaises it is using the levels and it is profitable during the backtest.

MA Color Histogram - indicator for MetaTrader 5

Attachment 40303

Quote:

---

Add an additional condition to the iMA (Moving Average, MA) indicator - display as the 'Moving Average' indicator is located relative to the bar's closing price (Close price). To visualize the additional condition, it was decided to apply the DRAW_COLOR_HISTOGRAM style - the histogram itself shows the value of the 'Moving Average' indicator , and the color of the histogram shows the position of the indicator relative to the bar price.

ATR adaptive SMA - indicator for MetaTrader 5

Attachment 40350

Quote:

---

One of the moving averages that is not often made adaptive is SMA (Simple Moving Average). The reason for that is that it is bound to bars values (unlike, for example EMA - that is used in numerous adaptive averages - that can use fractional periods too) and that makes the calculations a bit complicated and, in some cases the results are going to be "nervous" - they tend to changes slope in some periods very quickly.

That makes it a bit difficult to use it too : using the slope of such an average as a criteria for a trading decision would lead to "change of mind" on almost every bar - and that is not what anybody would like to do. This version makes a possible solution for that : since adaptive SMA is "faster" than the "regular" SMA, you can use the crosses of adaptive to regular SMA as a criteria for trend. Results seem to be acceptable.

Sma with NET - indicator for MetaTrader 5

NET (Noise Elimination Technology) - a sort of a rolling Kendall rank correlation coefficient -was introduced in one of the rsi indicators posted at this code base.
Now it is used to determine the "trend" of a simple moving average. As such, it is not same with the slope of SMA and do not be surprised that the slope and the trend color change are going to deviate sometimes.
