Trending Up/Down using Ten Moving Averages

by MikeMM, 4723 days ago

This indicator tells you whether a security is trending up or down based on ten moving averages (instead of just one). This is accomplished by calculating ten moving averages with different periods (20, 40, 60 ..., and 200) and then comparing them with the close price. For each trading bar, it loops through the different moving averages and adds one to a variable each time the close is higher that a moving average. In other words, this technical analysis indicator returns the number of moving averages that are currently below the close price.

The indicator value oscillates between 0 and 10 where:
A value of zero indicates that the stock is trading below these ten moving averages and therefore it is trending down.
A value of ten indicates that the stock is trending up and that it is trading above all the short-term, medium-term and long-term moving averages.

Function Info:
The function is parameterless and its name is "closeMA".

Trading Rule Example:
rule1 = (closeMA() == 10) and (high == hhv(high, 250));

This rule generates a signal when a stock is trending up (price above ten moving averages) and is making a new year high at the same time.

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
