Moving Trend

 

 

Based on William Rafter's article in 01/2003 issue of S&C magazine.

 

This indicator belongs to the family of Zero Lag moving averages.

It employs linear regression to detect trend changes;

you will find this indicator fast and responsive,

and is applicable in most popular trading time frames.

 

An optional band is included. You can set it to invisible if you do not wish to see it.

 

I would like to hear how you utilize this indicator in your analysis.

Dear Thans

 

Thank you for this indicator

 

You make so much efforts in this forum with sometimes no returns

 

Here is my contribution of your contribution ;)

 

So

 

If I understand well they are 2 families of avgs

 

- Zerolag (Hull, MovTrend ... )

 

used closed to the price to show the waves ( as the zigzag somewhere) and are very reactives

 

- classicals average of the prices (Mov Avg Exponential, ... )

 

used as S/R ( like curved lines) or crossing with an other one to show the trend

 

 

 

 

I've tested ZeroLag's and realized that the candles are also a kind of "DoubleZeroLag noaverage" with white and black up/down

 

They are also a lot of more informations in candles

 

Also the MACD Histo ( an avg of an avg) is as much close to the price and shows more, like divergences etc...

 

As you know I use 2 EMA from the very begining and I'm still waiting for the next avg "Prince charmant" :missy:

 

Best regards

Of course it works well.

EasyLanguage is a high level computer language,

i.e. it does not have low level machine manipulation capabilities,

therefore it has no way of "crashing" your computer.

 

If the indicator works for you, please click the "Mark as Installed" button and give a rating at the top.

 

A screen shot of your implementation (with on chart annotation) is appreciated.

Hi Tams,

 

I think that I am using your indicator,

even if not your implementation.

 

It is one that has survived in my toolkit.

I think I have used this method too often within physical chemistry, to get rid of it.

 

Am I right?

Basic linear regression with its SD bands?

 

Well, how to use it?

 

-Watch for rollovers.

-Trade it with the trend (if there is some), and otherwise ...

-And if you are knowing, what you are doing, trade it counter-trend as well.

 

 

Regards,

 

Hal

 

 

P.S.: I am still trying! :missy:

Did the above "Mark as Installed" button, but do not see a "rating" button. I will give it a 5/5 rating.....as tested it live today trading the ES/NQ, & did very well with it & my other ta's. Since I do not know how to post a chart in here, & my trading puter is another puter anyways from this one, for security reasons, here is what I did with it: have it on my fisrt level below Price, with the indicator "Value CHart" (also in thise section)....have found the two together, using the std. inputs (20) see's the turns extremely well on my 116tick tading chart & 305tk trend/anchoe chart. Haver also put it on my swing charts: Monthly/Wkly/daily/etc......sees turns about 1-2 bars before Price turns. So, is a great heads up trend change/entry eye heads up chart with those two together. Also have the "Rubber Band/142" indicator in chart in there as well ("142" as ELD).....the three work in sync for turns & give correlative same info....if not the same, then move fails, as saw like clock work today. Tried the fib #'s of 5,8,13,21 as inputs, but found the "20" default input was best & fastest in ther turns. So, great indicator....thx.... :)

Hi Tams,

 

I have rated it 5/5 now.

 

Its a good tool, and like it is with every tool,

the user has to learn, how to use it.

 

So far, the small settings are mentioned here.

 

I use 10 on my charts,

but sometimes I like to look at 50 or 100 too.

 

For me its not the center line,

I usually like to see the 2 SD bands.

 

I like extremes, this is why I like these bands.

 

 

Regards,

 

Hal

    • Date: 28th March 2024. The US Dollar Strengthens As Economists Believe The ECB Will Struggle To “Hold”. Early this morning, the Fed Governor advised “there is no rush to cut rates” and “the data within the upcoming months” will be vital. The US Dollar Index rises to a 1-month high. The value of the USD will largely be based on today’s data on economic growth, consumer sentiment and pending home sales. Dollar and index traders are closely monitoring tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index which analysts expect will read 0.3%. A higher inflation reading can potentially pressure stocks and support the Dollar. Strong declines in NVIDIA and Netflix stocks pressured the NASDAQ on Wednesday. Though, buyers entered late in the session to boost the overall price. EURUSD The latest comments from members of the Federal Reserve are supporting the US Dollar. The forward guidance between members of the Federal Reserve is mainly not aligned. The Chairman advises the Fed does not need much more proof for the regulator to feel comfortable reducing rates. Whereas the Fed Governor, Mr Waller, advises there is no rush, and he wants to see a few months of data before determining the next move. Therefore, the upcoming inflation and employment data will remain vital and could even push back rate hikes further. According to economists, the Federal Reserve will cut the interest rate on 3 occasions this year, but the timing of the first cut is less certain and may change depending on upcoming data. A positive factor for traders is that EURUSD exchange is not witnessing conflicting currencies. The US Dollar is trading 0.12% higher while the Euro is declining against most currencies. The Euro is trading 0.06% lower against the Pound and the Canadian Dollar and 0.16% lower against the Japanese Yen. Yesterday, the head of the Bank of Italy, Mr Cipollone, said that the authorities were confident that inflation would return to the target of 2.0% by mid–2025. He also supports the lower of interest rate and will use this as a basis for adjusting monetary policy. The Euro is generally under pressure as investors believe the European Central Bank will struggle to avoid cuts if the Fed decide to delay their adjustments. The US Dollar will be influenced by four major economic data releases. The US Final GDP, Weekly Unemployment Claims, Pending Home Sales and Consumer Sentiment Index. If these read higher than expectations with the weekly unemployment claims dropping, the US Dollar is likely to witness further support. However, investors should note the main release will be tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index. Traders are expecting no major news for Europe and volatility levels may fall tomorrow as European markets are closed for Easter. Technical analysis currently points towards a continued downward trend. The price is trading below the neutral on the RSI and below the 75-Bar EMA. However, investors should note this will also be dependent on upcoming US data. USA100 The price of the USA100 was under pressure throughout the whole US session but was saved by an increased volume of buyers late in the session. However, a positive point is the components held onto their value. Even though the index fell in value, only 28% of the components declined. Investors will now turn their attention towards tomorrow’s PCE Price Index and the upcoming earnings season which will start in mid-April. The price is now trading slightly above the Moving Averages but slightly below the 50.00 on the RSI. Therefore, technical analysis remains at the “neutral” level and continues to indicate a larger price range. If today’s economic data is positive the stock market can witness confidence and support as this continues to indicate a soft landing. Though, if the data is too strong, it could also trigger a hawkish Fed which is known to be negative for the USA100. Always trade with strict risk management.
