Traffic Light MA — Trend Indicator
This script displays a simple “traffic light” circle that reflects the market trend based on two moving averages (MA).
-Green: Price > Fast MA > Slow MA → Uptrend confirmation
-Yellow: Mixed conditions (transition zone)
-Red: Slow MA > Fast MA > Price → Downtrend confirmation
You can customize:
-MA type (SMA or EMA)
-Lengths of both MAs
-Timeframe used for evaluation (e.g. Daily, 4H, Weekly)
This tool is designed for traders who prefer a minimalistic chart, showing only a clean color signal instead of multiple lines.
Recommendation:
For small MAs (8,15,21) use EMA, for big MAs (50,100,200) use SMA
-Green: Price > Fast MA > Slow MA → Uptrend confirmation
