Trend Indicators

Key Features

• 14 different MA types are: HMA, SMA, SMMA, EMA, WMA, TMA, TEMA, VWMA, VMA, KAMA, LinReg, ZeroLagEMA, ZeroLagHATEMA, ZeroLagTEMA


• By means of the "Alert Basis" parameter, alerts can be based on one of the following "Signal" events:
  1) Trend reversal (from downward to upward, or vice versa)
  2a) Price crosses the MA (Live price moves from one side of the MA to the other)
  2b) Price enters the zone around the MA...as specified by the AlertZoneArea parameter


• The AlertZoneArea parameter lets you create an "alert zone" above and below the MA. Whenever price enters this zone, you can signal an alert. Likewise, whenever price exists this zone, you can signal a different alert.


• By means of the "Alert Type" parameter, you can select options for the type of alert when an Signal occurs:
  1) Plot a chart marker (Dot on the MA, an Arrow on the bar, or a Triangle on the bar)
  2) Play an alert sound
  3) Do both (plot a chart marker and play alert sound) when a signal occurs
  4) Optional: Send email of signal to user specified email address Email subject line contains the name of the indicator and the name of the instrument, and the chart timeframe. Email's are automatically limited to 1 email per bar, regardless of what CalculateOnBarClose is set to.


• "Ranging Settings" parameters To help you identify when the MA is in a consolidation period...the indicator lets you specify a new line color to be printed when the MA is frequently reversing itself. This is identified by means of a parameter named "MinTicksForBreakout". That value lets you specify how many ticks of movement in the MA is required before it is considered to have broken out of a non-trending zone.


• NOTE: This indicator has a sophisticated plotting method that eliminates the typical "mis-paint" problem associated with NT multicolor lines. The plotting of trend changes is guaranteed accurate regardless of what CalculateOnBarClose is set to (true or false).
