Simple Moving Average (SMA)

QMA/SMA DifferenceIntroduction The quadratic moving average (QMA) or quadratic weighted moving average (QWMA) is a type of moving average who is closer to the price when price is up trending. This moving average is defined as the square root of the moving average of the squared price. The QMA-SMA difference use this moving average to provide a new volatility indicator who aim to be reactive and filter noisy volatility in order to only provide essential information. QMA - SMA This indicator is defined as the difference between a quadratic moving average and a simple moving average of same period. Since the QMA emphasize up movements and tend to be away from down movements she is always greater than the simple moving average, so a simple difference between those moving average provide our volatility indicator. Below is a comparison with a standard deviation and the indicator of both period 100. Since its a difference between two moving average it can be interesting to use a simple moving as source for the standard deviation to provide another comparison The standard deviation is smoother but still contain more information as well as having less reactivity. Conclusion I have a presented a new volatility indicator based on the quadratic moving average and compared it with a classic standard deviation. It is possible to change the power order of the QMA in order to provide different results, in order to do so you must also change the root, this is done in pine with : pow(sma(pow(close,w),length),1/w) where w is the power order, notice that an high power order can provide non attributed values.

5 MAs w. alerts [LucF]Is this gazillionth MA indicator worth an addition to the already crowded field of contenders? I say yes! This one shows up to 5 MAs and 6 different marker conditions that can be used to create alerts, among many other goodies. Features MAs can be darkened when they are falling. MAs from another time frame can be displayed, with the option of smoothing them. Markers can be filtered to Longs or Shorts only. EMAs can be selected for either all or the two shortest MAs. The background can be colored using any of the marker states except no. 3. Markers are: 1. On crosses between any two user-defined MAs, 2. When price is above or below an MA, 3. On Quick Flips (a specific setup involving a cross, multiple MA states and increasing volume, when available), 4. When the difference between two MAs is within a % of its high/low historic values, 5. When an MA has been rising/falling for n bars, 6. When the difference between two MAs is greater than a multiple of ATR. Some markers use similar visual cues, so distinguishing them will be a challenge if they are used concurrently. Alerts Alerts can be created on any combination of alerts. Only non-consecutive instances of markers 5 and 6 will trigger the alert condition. Make sure you are on the interval you want the alert to run at. Using the “Once Per Bar Close” trigger condition is usually the best option. When an alert is created in TradingView, a snapshot of the indicator’s settings is saved with the alert, which then takes on a life of its own. That is why even though there is only one alert to choose from when you bring up the alert creation dialog box and choose “5 MAs”, that alert can be triggered from any number of conditions. You select those conditions by activating the markers you want the alert to trigger on before creating the alert. If you have selected multiple conditions, then it can be a good idea to record a reminder in the alert’s message field. When the alert triggers, you will need the indicator on the chart to figure out which one of your conditions triggered the alert, as there is currently no way to dynamically change the alert’s message field from within the script. Background settings will not trigger alerts; only marker configurations. Notes MAs are just… averages. Trader lure would have them act as support and resistance levels. I’m not sure about that, and not the only one thinking along these lines. Adam Grimes has studied moving averages in quite a bit of detail. His numbers point to no evidence indicating they act as support/resistance, and to specific MA lengths not being more meaningful than others. His point of view is debated by some—not by me. Mean reversion does not entail that price stops when it reaches its MA; rather, it makes sense to me that price would often more or less oscillate around its MA, which entails the MA does not act as support/resistance. Aren’t the best mean reversion opportunities when price is furthest away from its MA? If so, it should be more profitable to identify these areas, which some of this indicator’s markers try to do. I think MAs can be much more powerful when thought of as instruments we can use to situate price events in contexts of various resolutions, from the instantaneous to the big picture. Accordingly, I use the relative positions and slopes of MAs in both discretionary and automated trading; but never their purported ability to support/resist. Regardless of how you use MAs, I hope you will find this indicator useful.

SMA/pivot/Bollinger/MACD/RSI en pantalla gráficoMulti-indicador con los indicadores que empleo más pero sin añadir ventanas abajo. Contiene: Cruce de 3 medias móviles La idea es no tenerlas en pantalla, pero están dibujadas también. Yo las dejo ocultas salvo que las quiera mirar para algo. Lo que presento en pantalla es la media lenta con verde si el cruce de las 3 marca alcista, amarillo si no está claro y rojo si marca bajista. Pivot Normalmente los tengo ocultos pero los muestro cuando me interesa. Están todos aunque aparezcan 2 seguidos. Bandas de Bollinger No dibujo la línea central porque empleo la media como tal. Parabollic SAR Lo empleo para dibujar las ondas de Elliott como postula Matías Menéndez Larre en el capítulo 11 de su libro "Las ondas de Elliott". Así que, aunque se puede mostrar, lo mantengo oculto y lo que muestro es dónde cambia (SAR cambio). MACD No está dibujado porque necesitaría sacarlo del gráfico. Marco en la parte superior cuándo la señal sobrepasa al MACD hacia arriba o hacia abajo con un flecha indicando el sentido de esta señal. RSI Similar al MACD pero en la parte inferior. Probablemente, programe otro indicador para visualizar en una ventanita MACD, RSI y volumen todo junto. El volumen en la principal hay veces que no te permite ver bien alguna sombra y los otros 2 te quitan mucho espacio para graficar si los tienes permanentemente en 2 ventanas separadas.
