This indicator, named "CM_Ultimate_MA_MTF_V2", is a versatile moving average tool that offers multiple timeframe (MTF) analysis capabilities. Here's a detailed breakdown of its functionality:
## 1. Moving Average Types
The indicator supports eight different types of moving averages:
1. Simple Moving Average (SMA) 2. Exponential Moving Average (EMA) 3. Weighted Moving Average (WMA) 4. Hull Moving Average (HMA) 5. Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) 6. Running Moving Average (RMA) 7. Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA) 8. Tilson T3 Moving Average
Users can select which type to use for both the primary and secondary moving averages.
## 2. Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The indicator allows for analysis across different timeframes. Users can choose to: - Use the current chart's timeframe - Specify a custom timeframe (e.g., daily "D" by default)
This feature enables users to view higher or lower timeframe moving averages on the current chart.
## 3. Dual Moving Average System
The indicator can plot two moving averages simultaneously: - A primary moving average (always visible) - An optional secondary moving average
This dual system allows for comparison between different moving average types or lengths.
## 4. Color Coding
Both moving averages can change color based on their direction: - Green (lime) when rising - Red when falling - Aqua (for MA1) or White (for MA2) when direction change is disabled
Color smoothing is applied to reduce noise in color changes.
## 5. Cross Detection
The indicator can highlight price crosses of the moving averages: - Yellow bar coloring when price crosses either MA (optional for each MA) - Cross markers when the two MAs cross each other (optional)
## 6. Tilson T3 Moving Average
A special implementation of the Tilson T3 MA is included. This is a smoothed, responsive moving average with adjustable factors.
## 7. Hull Moving Average
A custom implementation of the Hull Moving Average is provided, known for reducing lag in trending markets.
## 8. Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA)
TEMA is implemented to provide a moving average with reduced lag compared to traditional EMAs.
## 9. Flexibility and Customization
Users can adjust various parameters: - Moving average lengths - T3 factors - Color settings - Cross detection preferences - Whether to show the secondary MA
## 10. Security Function
The `request.security()` function is used to enable multi-timeframe analysis, allowing the indicator to calculate moving averages on timeframes different from the chart's current timeframe.
## Conclusion
This indicator is a comprehensive tool for technical analysis, offering a wide range of moving average types and customization options. It's particularly useful for traders who rely on moving averages for trend identification, support/resistance levels, and potential entry/exit signals across multiple timeframes.
