Customizable Moving Average Ribbon

20 בפבר׳ 2023

This indicator is a highly customizable moving average ribbon with some unique features.

This script can utilize multiple unique sources, including a non-repainting renko closing price. Renko charts focus solely on price movement and minimize the impacts of time and the extra noise time creates. Employing the renko close helps smooth out the MA ribbon. Insignificant price movements will not cause a change in the plotted lines of the indicator unless a new threshold is breached or a "brick" is created. This is highly useful for quickly identifying consolidation areas or overall flat price movement.

There are two methods for selecting the box size when utilizing the renko source. Box size is critical for the overall function and efficacy of the plots you will visually see with this indicator. Box size is set automatically using the Average True Range "ATR" or manually using the "Traditional" setting. The simplest way to determine a manual box size is to take the ATR of the given instrument and round it to the nearest decimal place. As an example, if the ATR for the asset is 0.18, you would round that number to 0.2 and utilize this as your traditional box size.

The MA ribbon contains eleven adjustable moving average lines. Users can choose to turn off as many as they would like. Users can also adjust the length of the individual moving averages and the source for all moving averages. There are nine types of moving averages to choose from for the ribbon. The MA options are:

Exponential Moving Average = 'EMA'
Double Exponential Moving Average= 'DEMA'
Triple Exponential Moving Average = 'TEMA'
Simple Moving Average = 'SMA'
Relative Moving Average = 'RMA'
Volume Weighted Moving Average = 'VWMA'
Weighted Moving Average = 'WMA'
Smoothed Simple Moving Average = 'SSMA'
Hull Moving Average = 'HULL'

We believe that the ribbons features, including the line color change, help quickly identify trends and give users optimum customization. Users can select from five different color schemes including:

Green/Red
Purple/White
White/Blue
Silver / Orange
Teal/ Orange
