Moving Averages have been a staple of technical traders for a lot longer than computers have been available to accomplish the calculations. Luckily today we are able to easily produce very sophisticated, reactive moving averages using multiple algorithms designed by individuals with different backgrounds, talents and skill sets. The Master Moving Average Envelope calculates 9 distinct moving averages and then utilizes a knockout scoring system to produce a single combined score between -10 and +10. When we refer to a knockout scoring system, it simply means that if one of these indicators is positive and one is negative they cancel each other out. The majority of the survivors wins and that calculated total produces the MMAE dot's score and determines the dots location on the MMAE indicator chart.
The envelope refers to the area produced by multiple moving averages of different lengths. When you have a short time frame and a long time frame the two lines will contain between them, the majority of the candles. The area between these two lines is the, "envelope" and it allows us to stay in a trade during a pre-determined amount of volatility. This keeps us in trades when the stock might be experiencing short term counter trend trading action. As these two lines converge as the stocks price changes direction the envelope become smaller and smaller until it disappears briefly as the stock price changes direction. The center line of this indicator indicates a turning point in the price action where the envelope has become very small or nonexistence. Moving average are not reliable indicators as the envelop disappears and a crossover point nears. This indicator is most reliable when the stock price is not near the center demarcation line.
