Displaced Moving Average Channel (DMA)
Updated
What is This?
The Displaced Moving Average Channel (DMA) indicator is a combination of two moving averages calculated on the high and low of a set time period back which are displaced forward or backward with the center highlighted as a central channel.
What Information Can I Get Out of It?
This indicator can be used as a support or resistance as some moving averages are typically used as well as a tiny measure of recent volatility by looking at the spread between the top and bottom moving averages.
Where Did This Idea Come From?
I did not come up with the concept of this indicator since I was inspired to use this as a setup/trigger indicator in a potential trading strategy as seen in this whitepaper.
