160-Min Extended Hours MAs
160-Min Extended Hours MA Dashboard
Designed for traders who work across the full extended hours session, where 960 minutes of daily market time — from pre-market open at 4:00 AM ET through post-market close at 8:00 PM ET — divides evenly into exactly 6 bars per day at the 160-minute timeframe. This creates a clean, session-aligned bar structure that keeps moving average lookbacks anchored to real extended hours time rather than arbitrary period counts.
This indicator plots five moving averages, each mapped to a meaningful horizon expressed in session time:
1D — 6 bars (1 full extended session)
1W — 30 bars (1 trading week)
1M — 126 bars (~1 trading month)
6M — 756 bars (~6 trading months)
1Y — 1,512 bars (~1 trading year)
Features
Toggle between EMA and SMA globally with a single input. Each MA plots with a right-edge label showing the period name, distance from current price, percentage distance, and ATR multiple — giving you immediate context on how extended or compressed price is relative to each level. A summary table displays the current MA value and slope direction (▲ ▼ →) for each period. A bottom signal row indicates whether price is in a full bull stack, bear stack, or mixed alignment across all visible MAs.
Color palette runs teal → light blue → royal blue → purple → white from shortest to longest timeframe, consistent with the broader dashboard suite.
The indicator includes a timeframe guard — all plots and labels suppress automatically if the chart is not on the 160-minute timeframe, and a warning label fires to prompt you to switch. Note that the 1Y MA requires approximately one full year of chart history to populate.
Timeframe: 160-min only
Asset class: Equities, ETFs, and index products with extended hours trading (4:00 AM – 8:00 PM ET)
