Multiple Time Frames Moving Averages (x3)This indicator is a set of 3 moving averages for which you can configure the type of the moving averages , their length , and of course the time frame . The moving averages you can choose from are:
- Simple Moving Average ( SMA )
- Exponential Moving Average ( EMA )
- Weighted Moving Average ( WMA )
- Running Moving Average (RMA)
- Hull Moving Average ( HMA )
- Volume Weighted Moving Average ( VWMA )
- Arnaud Legoux Moving Average ( ALMA )
The time-frames you can choose from - minutes (1, 3, 5, 15, 45), hours (1, 2, 3, 4, 12), days (1, 3), weekly or monthly .
Overall, it is a minimalistic indicator. No major improvements or trading logic like some of my other indicators, but I did make it slightly easier to use and visually appealing. The MAs' colors change from light to dark green/blue/red depending on the trend - bullish or bearish respectively. Initially, those were changing from green to red (based on direction) but it became a bit confusing when they started crossing each other. Anyway, feel free to change those colors to whatever you like.
If you have suggestions on how to improve this indicator or ideas about new ones, please drop me a line. Thanks.

Anticipated Simple Moving Average Crossover IndicatorIntroducing the Anticipated Simple Moving Average Crossover Indicator
This is my Pinescript implementation of the Anticipated Simple Moving Average Crossover Indicator
Much respect to the original creator of this idea Dimitris Tsokakis
This indicator removes one bar of lag from simple moving average crossover signals with a high degree of accuracy to give a slight but very real edge.
Moving Averages
A moving average simplifies price data by smoothing it out by averaging closing prices and creating one flowing line which makes seeing the trend easier.
Moving averages can work well in strong trending conditions, but poorly in choppy or ranging conditions.
Adjusting the time frame can remedy this problem temporarily, although at some point, these issues are likely to occur regardless of the time frame chosen for the moving average(s).
While Exponential moving averages react quicker to price changes than simple moving averages. In some cases, this may be good, and in others, it may cause false signals.
Moving averages with a shorter look back period (20 days, for example) will also respond quicker to price changes than an average with a longer look back period (200 days).
Trading Strategies — Moving Average Crossovers
Moving average crossovers are a popular strategy for both entries and exits. MAs can also highlight areas of potential support or resistance.
The first type is a price crossover, which is when the price crosses above or below a moving average to signal a potential change in trend.
Another strategy is to apply two moving averages to a chart: one longer and one shorter.
When the shorter-term MA crosses above the longer-term MA, it's a buy signal, as it indicates that the trend is shifting up. This is known as a "golden cross."
Meanwhile, when the shorter-term MA crosses below the longer-term MA, it's a sell signal, as it indicates that the trend is shifting down. This is known as a "dead/death cross."
MA and MA Cross Strategy Disadvantages
Moving averages are calculated based on historical data, and while this may appear predictive nothing about the calculation is predictive in nature.
Moving averages are always based on historical data and simply show the average price over a certain time period.
Therefore, results using moving averages can be quite random.
At times, the market seems to respect MA support/resistance and trade signals, and at other times, it shows these indicators no respect.
One major problem is that, if the price action becomes choppy, the price may swing back and forth, generating multiple trend reversal or trade signals.
When this occurs, it's best to step aside or utilize another indicator to help clarify the trend.
The same thing can occur with MA crossovers when the MAs get "tangled up" for a period of time during periods of consolidation, triggering multiple losing trades.
Ensure you use a robust risk management system to avoid getting "Chopped Up" or "Whip Sawed" during these periods.
Variable Length Moving AverageThe Variable Length Moving Average was created by George R. Arrington Ph.D. (Stocks & Commodities V. 9:6 (219-223)) and I'm really loving this indicator. It is a great moving average that hugs the price very closely and it is fully adjustable to your needs. It detects signals extremely well and I have color coded the moving average line to make it very easy to interpret.
This is not to be confused with the Variable Moving Average created by Tushar S. Chande and as of now I haven't seen any other script for this moving average out there yet.
Please let me know if you would like me to write any other scripts for indicators you would like to see!
7EMA_5MA (G/D + Bias + 12/26 Signal)This script alow you to survey multiple crossing signals as Golden/Death cross (MA50/200), Institutional Bias (EMA9/18), or EMA 12/26 crossing. You can show/hide all EMAs/MAs and show/hide all signals. Default config displays EMA 50/100/200 and MA 20. Full script includes display of EMA 9/18/12/26/50/100/200 and MA 20/21/50/100/200.
