Enhanced Fuzzy SMA Analyzer (Multi-Output Proxy) [FibonacciFlux]EFzSMA: Decode Trend Quality, Conviction & Risk Beyond Simple Averages
Stop Relying on Lagging Averages Alone. Gain a Multi-Dimensional Edge.
The Challenge: Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) tell you where the price was , but they fail to capture the true quality, conviction, and sustainability of a trend. Relying solely on price crossing an average often leads to chasing weak moves, getting caught in choppy markets, or missing critical signs of trend exhaustion. Advanced traders need a more sophisticated lens to navigate complex market dynamics.
The Solution: Enhanced Fuzzy SMA Analyzer (EFzSMA)
EFzSMA is engineered to address these limitations head-on. It moves beyond simple price-average comparisons by employing a sophisticated Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) that intelligently integrates multiple critical market factors:
Price deviation from the SMA ( adaptively normalized for market volatility)
Momentum (Rate of Change - ROC)
Market Sentiment/Overheat (Relative Strength Index - RSI)
Market Volatility Context (Average True Range - ATR, optional)
Volume Dynamics (Volume relative to its MA, optional)
Instead of just a line on a chart, EFzSMA delivers a multi-dimensional assessment designed to give you deeper insights and a quantifiable edge.
Why EFzSMA? Gain Deeper Market Insights
EFzSMA empowers you to make more informed decisions by providing insights that simple averages cannot:
Assess True Trend Quality, Not Just Location: Is the price above the SMA simply because of a temporary spike, or is it supported by strong momentum, confirming volume, and stable volatility? EFzSMA's core fuzzyTrendScore (-1 to +1) evaluates the health of the trend, helping you distinguish robust moves from noise.
Quantify Signal Conviction: How reliable is the current trend signal? The Conviction Proxy (0 to 1) measures the internal consistency among the different market factors analyzed by the FIS. High conviction suggests factors are aligned, boosting confidence in the trend signal. Low conviction warns of conflicting signals, uncertainty, or potential consolidation – acting as a powerful filter against chasing weak moves.
// Simplified Concept: Conviction reflects agreement vs. conflict among fuzzy inputs
bullStrength = strength_SB + strength_WB
bearStrength = strength_SBe + strength_WBe
dominantStrength = max(bullStrength, bearStrength)
conflictingStrength = min(bullStrength, bearStrength) + strength_N
convictionProxy := (dominantStrength - conflictingStrength) / (dominantStrength + conflictingStrength + 1e-10)
// Modifiers (Volatility/Volume) applied...
Anticipate Potential Reversals: Trends don't last forever. The Reversal Risk Proxy (0 to 1) synthesizes multiple warning signs – like extreme RSI readings, surging volatility, or diverging volume – into a single, actionable metric. High reversal risk flags conditions often associated with trend exhaustion, providing early warnings to protect profits or consider counter-trend opportunities.
Adapt to Changing Market Regimes: Markets shift between high and low volatility. EFzSMA's unique Adaptive Deviation Normalization adjusts how it perceives price deviations based on recent market behavior (percentile rank). This ensures more consistent analysis whether the market is quiet or chaotic.
// Core Idea: Normalize deviation by recent volatility (percentile)
diff_abs_percentile = ta.percentile_linear_interpolation(abs(raw_diff), normLookback, percRank) + 1e-10
normalized_diff := raw_diff / diff_abs_percentile
// Fuzzy sets for 'normalized_diff' are thus adaptive to volatility
Integrate Complexity, Output Clarity: EFzSMA distills complex, multi-factor analysis into clear, interpretable outputs, helping you cut through market noise and focus on what truly matters for your decision-making process.
Interpreting the Multi-Dimensional Output
The true power of EFzSMA lies in analyzing its outputs together:
A high Trend Score (+0.8) is significant, but its reliability is amplified by high Conviction (0.9) and low Reversal Risk (0.2) . This indicates a strong, well-supported trend.
Conversely, the same high Trend Score (+0.8) coupled with low Conviction (0.3) and high Reversal Risk (0.7) signals caution – the trend might look strong superficially, but internal factors suggest weakness or impending exhaustion.
Use these combined insights to:
Filter Entry Signals: Require minimum Trend Score and Conviction levels.
Manage Risk: Consider reducing exposure or tightening stops when Reversal Risk climbs significantly, especially if Conviction drops.
Time Exits: Use rising Reversal Risk and falling Conviction as potential signals to take profits.
Identify Regime Shifts: Monitor how the relationship between the outputs changes over time.
Core Technology (Briefly)
EFzSMA leverages a Mamdani-style Fuzzy Inference System. Crisp inputs (normalized deviation, ROC, RSI, ATR%, Vol Ratio) are mapped to linguistic fuzzy sets ("Low", "High", "Positive", etc.). A rules engine evaluates combinations (e.g., "IF Deviation is LargePositive AND Momentum is StrongPositive THEN Trend is StrongBullish"). Modifiers based on Volatility and Volume context adjust rule strengths. Finally, the system aggregates these and defuzzifies them into the Trend Score, Conviction Proxy, and Reversal Risk Proxy. The key is the system's ability to handle ambiguity and combine multiple, potentially conflicting factors in a nuanced way, much like human expert reasoning.
Customization
While designed with robust defaults, EFzSMA offers granular control:
Adjust SMA, ROC, RSI, ATR, Volume MA lengths.
Fine-tune Normalization parameters (lookback, percentile). Note: Fuzzy set definitions for deviation are tuned for the normalized range.
Configure Volatility and Volume thresholds for fuzzy sets. Tuning these is crucial for specific assets/timeframes.
Toggle visual elements (Proxies, BG Color, Risk Shapes, Volatility-based Transparency).
Recommended Use & Caveats
EFzSMA is a sophisticated analytical tool, not a standalone "buy/sell" signal generator.
Use it to complement your existing strategy and analysis.
Always validate signals with price action, market structure, and other confirming factors.
Thorough backtesting and forward testing are essential to understand its behavior and tune parameters for your specific instruments and timeframes.
Fuzzy logic parameters (membership functions, rules) are based on general heuristics and may require optimization for specific market niches.

Color Themed Guppy Multiple Moving Average
========== TLDR ==========
The "Color Themed Guppy Multiple Moving Average" plots a group of 6 Moving Averages on your chart with a selection of color themes to automatically style the different length Moving Average lines. As someone who struggles with screens and colors on a busy chart, this indicator has helped me a lot in quickly identifying which Moving Average price is respecting the most - giving me better signals for trade entries and trend loss.
========== Key Features and Advantages ==========
- Show different length Moving Averages with a single indicator
- quickly make your chart more readable with 12 different color themes
- The themes will color the Moving Averages with a gradient (light - dark), with a lighter color indicating a shorter length or 'faster' Moving Average
- Select the type of Moving Average you would like to use
========== Use Cases ==========
Identify Specific Length Moving Averages That are Acting as Support or Resistance:
Having each Moving Average coloured by a theme makes it easier to track each individual line with your eyes, making it easier to quickly find the Moving Averages that price is respecting the most for a given asset and/or trend.
Get Bias Quickly:
When all 6 of the Moving Averages are 'stacked' on top of each other in order, and all are angled either up or down, it can provide a useful bias for the market on your timeframe.
For example, If the fastest (smallest length) Moving Averages are angled up and sitting above the slower (largest length) Moving Averages, it may indicate that a 'long' bias would be preferable for any trades.
Having a color gradient from the themes makes it much easier to see when the Moving Average lines are "stacked" in order.
Identify Turning Points:
When the faster (smallest length) Moving Averages start to cross over the slower (largest length) Moving Averages, it may indicate a potential price/trend reversal.
Again, having a color gradient from the themes makes it much easier to spot this
========== Theme Options ==========
- Red
- Orange
- Yellow
- Green
- Teal
- Light Blue
- Blue
- Violet
- Purple
- Pink
- Rainbow - Solid
- Rainbow - Light

Anchored Powered KAMA [LuxAlgo]The Anchored Powered KAMA tool is a new flavor of the famous Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA).
It adds 5 different anchoring periods, a power exponent to the original KAMA calculation to increase the degree of filtering during ranging trends, and standard deviation bands calculated against the KAMA itself.
🔶 USAGE
In the image above we can see the different parts of the tool, it displays the Anchored Powered KAMA surrounded by standard deviation bands at 2x (solid) and 1x (dashed) by default.
This tool provides a simple and easy way to determine if the current market is ranging or trending and where the market extremes are in the current period.
As a rule of thumb, traders may want to trade extremes in ranges and pullbacks in trends.
When the KAMA is flat, a range is in place, so traders may want to wait for the price to reach an extreme before opening a trade in the other direction.
Conversely, if the KAMA is moving up or down, a trend is in place and traders may want to wait for the price to pull back to the KAMA before opening a trade in the direction of the trend.
🔹 Anchor Period
On the above chart, we can see different anchor periods on different chart timeframes.
This option is very useful for those traders who use multi-timeframe analysis, allowing them to see how the market behaves over different timeframes.
The valid values for this parameter are:
Hourly
Daily
Weekly
Monthly
Yearly
The tool has a built-in Auto feature for traders convenience, it automatically selects the optimal Anchor Period in function of the chart timeframe.
timeframes up to 2m: Hourly
timeframes up to 15m: Daily
timeframes up to 1H: Weekly
timeframes up to 4H: Monthly
larger timeframes: Yearly
🔹 Choosing the Right Anchor Period
In the chart above we can see the custom error message that the tool displays when the Auto feature is disabled and the Anchor Period is too large for the current chart timeframe.
Traders can select a smaller Anchor Period or a larger chart timeframe for the tool to display correctly.
🔶 DETAILS
The tool uses Welford's algorithm to calculate the KAMA's standard deviation, then plots the outer bands at the multiplier specified in the settings panel, and the inner bands at the multiplier specified minus 1.
🔹 Power Exponent
The graph above shows how different values of this parameter can affect the output.
To display the original KAMA a value of 1 must be set, by default this parameter is set to 2.
The higher the value, the better the tool's ability to detect ranges.
🔶 SETTINGS
Anchor Period: Select up to 5 different time periods from Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly.
Source: Choose the source for all calculations.
Power Exponent: Fine-tune the KAMA calculation, a value of 1 will output the original KAMA, and is set to 2 by default.
Band Multiplier: Select the multiplier for the standard deviation bands.
[TehThomas] - MA Cross with DisplacementThis TradingView script, "MA Cross with Displacement," is designed to detect potential long and short trade opportunities based on moving average (MA) crossovers combined with price displacement confirmation. The script utilizes two simple moving averages (SMA) and highlights potential trade signals when a crossover occurs alongside a strong price movement (displacement).
Why This Indicator is Useful
This indicator enhances the standard moving average crossover strategy by incorporating a displacement condition, making trade signals more reliable. Many traders rely on moving average crossovers to determine trend reversals, but false signals often occur due to minor price fluctuations. By requiring a significant price movement (displacement), this indicator helps filter out weak or insignificant crossovers, leading to more high-probability trade opportunities.
How It Works
Calculates Two Moving Averages (MA)
The user can set two different MA periods:
MA 1 (blue line): Default period is 9 (shorter-term trend).
MA 2 (red line): Default period is 21 (longer-term trend).
These moving averages smooth out price fluctuations to identify overall trends.
Detects Crossovers
Bullish crossover: The blue MA crosses above the red MA + displacement candle → Potential long signal.
Example of bullish cross with displacement:
Bearish crossover: The blue MA crosses below the red MA + displacement candle → Potential short signal.
Example of bearish cross with displacement:
Confirms Displacement (Strong Price Move)
A price displacement threshold is used (default: 1.1% of the previous candle size).
For a valid trade signal, a crossover must occur alongside a strong price movement.
Bullish Displacement Condition: Price increased by more than the threshold.
Bearish Displacement Condition: Price decreased by more than the threshold.
Visual Indicators on the Chart
Bars are colored green when there is a bullish displacement.
Bars are colored red when there is a bearish displacement.
These color changes help traders quickly identify potential trade setups.
How to Use the Indicator
Add the Script to Your Chart
Copy and paste the script into TradingView's Pine Script Editor.
Click "Add to Chart" to activate it.
Customize the Settings
Adjust the moving average periods to fit your trading strategy.
Modify the displacement threshold based on market volatility.
Change the bar colors for better visualization.
Look for Trade Signals
Long Trade (Buy Signal)
The blue MA crosses above the red MA (bullish crossover).
A green bar appears, confirming bullish displacement.
Short Trade (Sell Signal)
The blue MA crosses below the red MA (bearish crossover).
A red bar appears, confirming bearish displacement.
Use in Conjunction with Other Indicators
This indicator works best when combined with support & resistance levels, RSI, MACD, or volume analysis to improve trade accuracy.
Final Thoughts
The MA Cross with Displacement Indicator improves the reliability of moving average crossovers by requiring strong price movements to confirm a trade signal. This helps traders avoid false breakouts and weak trends, making it a powerful tool for identifying high-probability trades.

ADX with Moving AverageADX with Moving Average is a powerful indicator that enhances trend analysis by combining the standard Average Directional Index (ADX) with a configurable moving average.
The ADX helps traders identify the strength of a trend. In general:
ADX 0-20 – Absent or Weak Trend
ADX 25-50 – Strong Trend
ADX 50-75 – Very Strong Trend
ADX 75-100 – Extremely Strong Trend
By adding a moving average we can judge if the ADX itself is trending upwards or downwards, i.e. if a new trend is emerging or an existing one is weakening.
This combination allows traders to better confirm strong trends and filter out weak or choppy market conditions.
Key Features & Customization:
✔ Configurable DI & ADX Lengths – Adjust how quickly the ADX reacts to price movements (default: 14, 14).
✔ Multiple Moving Average Options – Choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, or T3 for trend confirmation.
✔ Custom MA Length – Fine-tune the sensitivity of the moving average to match your strategy.
🔹 Use this indicator to confirm strong trends before entering trades, filter out false signals, or refine existing strategies with a dynamic trend-strength component. 🚀
Sma Indicator with Ratio (pr)SMA Indicator with Ratio (PR) is a technical analysis tool designed to provide insights into the relationship between multiple Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) across different time frames. This indicator combines three key SMAs: the 111-period SMA, 730-period SMA, and 1400-period SMA. Additionally, it introduces a ratio-based approach, where the 730-period SMA is multiplied by factors of 2, 3, 4, and 5, allowing users to analyze potential market trends and price movements in relation to different SMA levels.
What Does This Indicator Do?
The primary function of this indicator is to track the movement of prices in relation to several SMAs with varying periods. By visualizing these SMAs, users can quickly identify:
Short-term trends (111-period SMA)
Medium-term trends (730-period SMA)
Long-term trends (1400-period SMA)
Additionally, the multiplied versions of the 730-period SMA provide deeper insights into potential price reactions at different levels of market volatility.
How Does It Work?
The 111-period SMA tracks the shorter-term price trend and can be used for identifying quick market movements.
The 730-period SMA represents a longer-term trend, helping users gauge overall market sentiment and direction.
The 1400-period SMA acts as a very long-term trend line, giving users a broad perspective on the market’s movement.
The ratio-based SMAs (2x, 3x, 4x, 5x of the 730-period SMA) allow for an enhanced understanding of how the price reacts to higher or lower volatility levels. These ratios are useful for identifying key support and resistance zones in a dynamic market environment.
Why Use This Indicator?
This indicator is useful for traders and analysts who want to track the interaction of price with different moving averages, enabling them to make more informed decisions about potential trend reversals or continuations. The added ratio-based values enhance the ability to predict how the market might react at different levels.
How to Use It?
Trend Confirmation: Traders can use the indicator to confirm the direction of the market. If the price is above the 111, 730, or 1400-period SMA, it may indicate an uptrend, and if below, a downtrend.
Support/Resistance Levels: The multiplied versions of the 730-period SMA (2x, 3x, 4x, 5x) can be used as dynamic support or resistance levels. When the price approaches or crosses these levels, it might indicate a change in the trend.
Volatility Insights: By observing how the price behaves relative to these SMAs, traders can gauge market volatility. Higher multiples of the 730-period SMA can signal more volatile periods where price movements are more pronounced.
Pivot Point+ Supertrend + EMA + Support/Resistance- LAXMANTAK98
Pivot Point Supertrend with EMA and Support/Resistance Indicator
This custom trading indicator combines the following key components to assist in market analysis and trade decision-making:
Pivot Points:
Pivot points are calculated based on a chosen price source (High, Low, Open, or Close). These levels are used to determine potential support and resistance zones.
Pivot Highs (Resistance) and Pivot Lows (Support) are plotted as labels on the chart for easy identification.
Supertrend Indicator:
The Supertrend is a trend-following indicator that helps to identify bullish or bearish trends.
It uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate dynamic support/resistance levels, with adjustable settings for ATR length and multiplier factor.
The trend direction is visually represented by green (bullish) and red (bearish) lines on the chart.
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA):
The indicator plots up to four EMAs with user-defined periods (e.g., 9, 21, 50, 200).
EMAs are commonly used to smooth out price data and identify trends over various timeframes.
Support and Resistance Levels:
Based on Pivot Points, support and resistance levels are plotted using crosses on the chart.
These levels indicate possible price reversal points, helping traders spot key zones for entry and exit.
Visual Alerts:
The indicator includes built-in alerts for trend changes and potential buy/sell signals based on the transition between uptrend and downtrend states.
This combined indicator allows traders to analyze trends, identify key levels for trading, and make more informed decisions by integrating Pivot Points, Supertrend, EMAs, and Support/Resistance in one cohesive system.
Moving Average Hamming-RKMoving Average Hamming
Description:
A Moving Average using a Hamming window is a technique used in technical analysis to smooth price data. The Hamming window applies weighted smoothing, reducing sharp variations and edge effects in the data. This helps in identifying trends more effectively while minimizing noise.
It can be used in combination with other technical indicators for better market analysis.
Technical Use:
The Hamming Moving Average reduces high-frequency noise, making trends clearer.
It applies different weights to data points, giving more importance to the center of the window while reducing the impact of abrupt changes.
This method is particularly useful in trend-following strategies as it minimizes false breakouts.
It can also be integrated into algorithmic trading systems for improved price fluctuation filtering.
When to Take a Position:
Buy Signal: When the price crosses above the Hamming Moving Average, indicating a potential uptrend.
Sell Signal: When the price crosses below the Hamming Moving Average, signaling a possible downtrend.
Confirmation: Combine with other indicators like RSI or MACD to confirm the trend before entering a trade.
Avoid Choppy Markets: The indicator works best in trending markets; avoid using it in sideways or ranging conditions.
This approach helps traders refine their analysis, making informed decisions while reducing market noise.

Machine Learning Moving Average [LuxAlgo]The Machine Learning Moving Average (MLMA) is a responsive moving average making use of the weighting function obtained Gaussian Process Regression method. Characteristic such as responsiveness and smoothness can be adjusted by the user from the settings.
The moving average also includes bands, used to highlight possible reversals.
🔶 USAGE
The Machine Learning Moving Average smooths out noisy variations from the price, directly estimating the underlying trend in the price.
A higher "Window" setting will return a longer-term moving average while increasing the "Forecast" setting will affect the responsiveness and smoothness of the moving average, with higher positive values returning a more responsive moving average and negative values returning a smoother but less responsive moving average.
Do note that an excessively high "Forecast" setting will result in overshoots, with the moving average having a poor fit with the price.
The moving average color is determined according to the estimated trend direction based on the bands described below, shifting to blue (default) in an uptrend and fushia (default) in downtrends.
The upper and lower extremities represent the range within which price movements likely fluctuate.
Signals are generated when the price crosses above or below the band extremities, with turning points being highlighted by colored circles on the chart.
🔶 SETTINGS
Window: Calculation period of the moving average. Higher values yield a smoother average, emphasizing long-term trends and filtering out short-term fluctuations.
Forecast: Sets the projection horizon for Gaussian Process Regression. Higher values create a more responsive moving average but will result in more overshoots, potentially worsening the fit with the price. Negative values will result in a smoother moving average.
Sigma: Controls the standard deviation of the Gaussian kernel, influencing weight distribution. Higher Sigma values return a longer-term moving average.
Multiplicative Factor: Adjusts the upper and lower extremity bounds, with higher values widening the bands and lowering the amount of returned turning points.

300-Candle Weighted Average Zones w/50 EMA SignalsThis indicator is designed to deliver a more nuanced view of price dynamics by combining a custom, weighted price average with a volatility-based zone and a trend filter (in this case, a 50-period exponential moving average). The core concept revolves around capturing the overall price level over a relatively large lookback window (300 candles) but with an intentional bias toward recent market activity (the most recent 20 candles), thereby offering a balance between long-term context and short-term responsiveness. By smoothing this weighted average and establishing a “zone” of standard deviation bands around it, the indicator provides a refined visualization of both average price and its recent volatility envelope. Traders can then look for confluence with a standard trend filter, such as the 50 EMA, to identify meaningful crossover signals that may represent trend shifts or opportunities for entry and exit.
What the Indicator Does:
Weighted Price Average:
Instead of using a simple or exponential moving average, this indicator calculates a custom weighted average price over the past 300 candles. Most historical candles receive a base weight of 1.0, but the most recent 20 candles are assigned a higher weight (for example, a weight of 2.0). This weighting scheme ensures that the calculation is not simply a static lookback average; it actively emphasizes current market conditions. The effect is to generate an average line that is more sensitive to the most recent price swings while still maintaining the historical context of the previous 280 candles.
Smoothing of the Weighted Average:
Once the raw weighted average is computed, an exponential smoothing function (EMA) is applied to reduce noise and produce a cleaner, more stable average line. This smoothing helps traders avoid reacting prematurely to minor price fluctuations. By stabilizing the average line, traders can more confidently identify actual shifts in market direction.
Volatility Zone via Standard Deviation Bands:
To contextualize how far price can deviate from this weighted average, the indicator uses standard deviation. Standard deviation is a statistical measure of volatility—how spread out the price values are around the mean. By adding and subtracting one standard deviation from the smoothed weighted average, the indicator plots an upper band and a lower band, creating a zone or channel. The area between these bands is filled, often with a semi-transparent color, highlighting a volatility corridor within which price and the EMA might oscillate.
This zone is invaluable in visualizing “normal” price behavior. When the 50 EMA line and the weighted average line are both within this volatility zone, it indicates that the market’s short- to mid-term trend and its average pricing are aligned well within typical volatility bounds.
Incorporation of a 50-Period EMA:
The inclusion of a commonly used trend filter, the 50 EMA, adds another layer of context to the analysis. The 50 EMA, being a widely recognized moving average length, is often considered a baseline for intermediate trend bias. It reacts faster than a long-term average (like a 200 EMA) but is still stable enough to filter out the market “chop” seen in very short-term averages.
By overlaying the 50 EMA on this custom weighted average and the surrounding volatility zone, the trader gains a dual-dimensional perspective:
Trend Direction: If the 50 EMA is generally above the weighted average, the short-term trend is gaining bullish momentum; if it’s below, the short-term trend has a bearish tilt.
Volatility Normalization: The bands, constructed from standard deviations, provide a sense of whether the price and the 50 EMA are operating within a statistically “normal” range. If the EMA crosses the weighted average within this zone, it signals a potential trend initiation or meaningful shift, as opposed to a random price spike outside normal volatility boundaries.
Why a Trader Would Want to Use This Indicator:
Contextualized Price Level:
Standard MAs may not fully incorporate the most recent price dynamics in a large lookback window. By weighting the most recent candles more heavily, this indicator ensures that the trader is always anchored to what the market is currently doing, not just what it did 100 or 200 candles ago.
Reduced Whipsaw with Smoothing:
The smoothed weighted average line reduces noise, helping traders filter out inconsequential price movements. This makes it easier to spot genuine changes in trend or sentiment.
Visual Volatility Gauge:
The standard deviation bands create a visual representation of “normal” price movement. Traders can quickly assess if a breakout or breakdown is statistically significant or just another oscillation within the expected volatility range.
Clear Trade Signals with Confirmation:
By integrating the 50 EMA and designing signals that trigger only when the 50 EMA crosses above or below the weighted average while inside the zone, the indicator provides a refined entry/exit criterion. This avoids chasing breakouts that occur in abnormal volatility conditions and focuses on those crossovers likely to have staying power.
How to Use It in an Example Strategy:
Imagine you are a swing trader looking to identify medium-term trend changes. You apply this indicator to a chart of a popular currency pair or a leading tech stock. Over the past few days, the 50 EMA has been meandering around the weighted average line, both confined within the standard deviation zone.
Bullish Example:
Suddenly, the 50 EMA crosses decisively above the weighted average line while both are still hovering within the volatility zone. This might be your cue: you interpret this crossover as the 50 EMA acknowledging the recent upward shift in price dynamics that the weighted average has highlighted. Since it occurred inside the normal volatility range, it’s less likely to be a head-fake. You place a long position, setting an initial stop just below the lower band to protect against volatility.
If the price continues to rise and the EMA stays above the average, you have confirmation to hold the trade. As the price moves higher, the weighted average may follow, reinforcing your bullish stance.
Bearish Example:
On the flip side, if the 50 EMA crosses below the weighted average line within the zone, it suggests a subtle but meaningful change in trend direction to the downside. You might short the asset, placing your protective stop just above the upper band, expecting that the statistically “normal” level of volatility will contain the price action. If the price does break above those bands later, it’s a sign your trade may not work out as planned.
Other Indicators for Confluence:
To strengthen the reliability of the signals generated by this weighted average zone approach, traders may want to combine it with other technical studies:
Volume Indicators (e.g., Volume Profile, OBV):
Confirm that the trend crossover inside the volatility zone is supported by volume. For instance, an uptrend crossover combined with increasing On-Balance Volume (OBV) or volume spikes on up candles signals stronger buying pressure behind the price action.
Momentum Oscillators (e.g., RSI, Stochastics):
Before taking a crossover signal, check if the RSI is above 50 and rising for bullish entries, or if the Stochastics have turned down from overbought levels for bearish entries. Momentum confirmation can help ensure that the trend change is not just an isolated random event.
Market Structure Tools (e.g., Pivot Points, Swing High/Low Analysis):
Identify if the crossover event coincides with a break of a previous pivot high or low. A bullish crossover inside the zone aligned with a break above a recent swing high adds further strength to your conviction. Conversely, a bearish crossover confirmed by a breakdown below a previous swing low can make a short trade setup more compelling.
Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP):
Comparing where the weighted average zone lies relative to VWAP can provide institutional insight. If the bullish crossover happens while the price is also holding above VWAP, it can mean that the average participant in the market is in profit and that the trend is likely supported by strong hands.
This indicator serves as a tool to balance long-term perspective, short-term adaptability, and volatility normalization. It can be a valuable addition to a trader’s toolkit, offering enhanced clarity and precision in detecting meaningful shifts in trend, especially when combined with other technical indicators and robust risk management principles.
Boltzmann Weighted Moving average ( BWMA )Overview:
Introducing the Boltzmann Weighted Moving Average (BWMA) – a novel approach that draws inspiration from statistical mechanics to emphasize recent market data more than older data. By applying an exponential decay governed by a “temperature” parameter, BWMA provides a unique perspective on price trends and enhances noise filtering. An EMA-based smoothing is then applied for an even cleaner, more stable signal.
Key Features:
Boltzmann Weighting: The BWMA assigns weights to each data point based on a Boltzmann-like formula, giving more influence to recent bars and reducing the impact of older ones. This creates a dynamic, adaptive moving average that can quickly respond to market changes.
Adaptive Temperature Control: Users can adjust the “Temperature” (T) parameter. A lower T puts a stronger emphasis on the most recent data, while a higher T makes the weight distribution more uniform across the chosen period.
EMA Smoothing: After computing the weighted average, an EMA is applied to smooth out short-term noise, resulting in a cleaner trend indication.
Color-Coded Trend Indicator: The BWMA line changes color depending on its slope, allowing traders to quickly identify bullish (green) or bearish (red) conditions at a glance.
Parameters:
Period: Defines the lookback window over which the Boltzmann weights are calculated.
Temperature (T): Controls the steepness of the weight decay. Lower T emphasizes recency, while higher T spreads weights more evenly.
Alpha (Energy Scale): Adjusts how quickly “Energy” (and thus weight decay) increases with older data points.
Smoothing Period: Determines the EMA length for reducing noise after weighting, providing a more stable signal.
How It Works:
The BWMA calculates a weighted average of recent prices, where the weight for each data point i is given by:
weight = math.exp(-energy / (k_B * T))
Energy_i: Increases as the data point is further back in time.
k_B: A scaling constant, set to 1 for simplicity.
T: "Temperature" parameter that controls how quickly the weights decay. A lower T emphasizes more recent data strongly, while a higher T spreads out the emphasis more evenly.
Visuals:
BWMA Line: Plotted as a smooth line that changes color based on trend direction.
Green: BWMA is rising (bullish trend).
Red: BWMA is falling (bearish trend).
Usage:
The BWMA can be used similarly to traditional moving averages but offers greater flexibility and adaptability:
Adjust T and Alpha: Fine-tune the weighting profile to match your trading style, whether you prefer rapid response to recent changes or a more balanced view.
Trend Confirmation: Use color changes to confirm bullish or bearish momentum.
Filtering Noise: The combination of Boltzmann weighting and EMA smoothing can help reduce the impact of sudden price spikes and yield clearer trend signals.
By blending the concepts of statistical mechanics with classic technical analysis techniques, the Boltzmann Weighted Moving Average provides traders with an innovative tool for revealing underlying market trends.

Always practice proper risk management and consider seeking advice from financial professionals before making investment decisions.
Daily Moving Averages on Intraday ChartsThis moving average script displays the chosen 5 daily moving averages on intraday (minute) charts. It automatically adjusts the intervals to show the proper moving averages.
In a day there are 375 trading minutes from 9:15 AM to 3:30PM in Indian market. In 5 days there are 1875 minutes. For other markets adjust this data accordingly.
If 5DMA is chosen on a five minute chart the moving average will use 375 interval values (1875/5 = 375) of 5minute chart to calculate moving average. Same 5DMA on 25minute chart will use 75 interval values (1875/25 = 75).
On a 1minute chart the 5DMA plot will use 1875 interval values to arrive at the moving average.
Since tradingview only allows 5000 intervals to lookback, if a particular daily moving average on intraday chart needs more than 5000 candle data it won't be shown. E.g 200DMA on 5minute chart needs 15000 candles data to plot a correct 200DMA line. Anything less than that would give incorrect moving average and hence it won't be shown on the chart.
MA crossover for the first two MAs is provided. If you want to use that option, make sure you give the moving averages in the correct order.
You can enhance this script and use it in any way you please as long as you make it opensource on TradingView. Feedback and improvement suggestions are welcome.
