HOW-TO combine multiple MAs as a Magic MA
This is a code snippet written in the Pine programming language for TradingView platform. It is an implementation of a custom technical indicator called "L1 Magic Moving Average".
Moving averages are widely used in technical analysis to identify trends and reversals in the price of an asset. The idea behind moving averages is to smooth out the price data by calculating the average price over a certain period of time. This helps to filter out the noise in the price data and provides a clearer picture of the underlying trend.
The Magic Moving Average (MMA) is a custom moving average that is calculated using a combination of three different types of moving averages: simple moving average (SMA), exponential moving average (EMA), and weighted moving average (WMA). The MMA is designed to be more responsive to changes in the price of an asset compared to traditional moving averages.
The code starts by defining the input parameters for the indicator. The length parameter determines the number of periods used for calculating the moving averages. The source parameter specifies the price data used to calculate the moving averages. Finally, the smoothness parameter adjusts the weighting of the WMA component of the MMA.
Once the input parameters are defined, the code calculates the MMA by adding the SMA, EMA, and WMA components. The SMA and EMA components are calculated using the standard functions provided by TradingView. The WMA component is calculated using a custom function that takes into account the smoothness parameter.
After the MMA is calculated, the code plots it on the chart as two lines, one for the current value and one for the previous value. The two lines are then filled with colors depending on the position of the current MMA relative to its previous value. If the current value is higher than the previous value, the plot is filled with yellow color, otherwise, it is filled with fuchsia color.
In addition to the plot, the code also includes logic for generating buy and sell signals based on the crossover of the MMA and its previous value. If the MMA crosses above its previous value, a buy signal is generated. Conversely, if the MMA crosses below its previous value, a sell signal is generated. When a signal is generated, an alert is triggered to notify the user.
Finally, the code also includes labels for the generated signals. When a buy signal is generated, a green "B" label is placed at the bottom of the candle. Similarly, when a sell signal is generated, a red "S" label is placed at the top of the candle. These labels help the user to quickly identify the signals on the chart.
Overall, this code provides a simple yet effective way of generating trading signals based on the Magic Moving Average. By using a combination of different types of moving averages, the indicator is able to capture different aspects of the price movement and generate signals that are more reliable. The flexibility of the input parameters also allows the user to adjust the indicator to their specific trading needs.
