MTF MAs and Crosses Nexus [DarkWaveAlgo]
Updated
🧾 Description:
A nexus is a connection, link, or neuronal junction where signals and information are transmitted between different elements.
The MTF MAs and Crosses Nexus indicator serves as a nexus between MTF Moving Averages by facilitating the visualization and interaction of up to eight multi-timeframe moving averages, each with its own customizable timeframe, period, cross-over and cross-under alerts and plot markers, moving average calculation type, and price source.
It acts as a utility/control center that brings together multiple MTF moving averages (MTF MAs) and allows you to visualize the interactions between them with exceptional ease-of-use and customizability, helping to provide you with valuable insights into potential trend reversals, momentum shifts, and trading opportunities.
💡 Originality and Usefulness:
While there are other multi-timeframe moving average indicators available, MTF MAs and Crosses Nexus' customizable alert and signal settings offer intra-indicator MTF moving average cross markers and alerts not seen in other MTF MA indicators, allowing you to visualize the cross-over and cross-under relationships between the indicator's MAs with an 'all-in-one' experience. We also believe it stands above the rest with its sheer quantity and quality of settings, features, and usability.
✔️ Re-Published to Avoid Misleading Values
This script has been re-published to ensure that it does not use `request.security()` calls using lookahead_on to access future data when referencing moving averages from other timeframes. This decreases the likelihood that the indicator will provide deceiving values. This change has been made in accordance with the PineScript documentation: "Using barmerge.lookahead_on at timeframes higher than the chart's without offsetting the `expression` argument like in `close[1]` will introduce future leak in scripts, as the function will then return the `close` price before it is actually known in the current context" and the Publishing Rule: "Do not use `request.security()` calls using lookahead to access future data".

The chart shown in this original publication displays the 15 minute chart on BTCUSDT. Displayed on the chart are 4 MTF MAs: the 15m 20 WMA, 30m 100 EMA, 1h 11 EMA, and 1D 7 VWMA - offering an exemplary view of how you can use these MTF MAs and crosses to your advantage in gauging trend relationships across multiple timeframes.
