TMA MTF

20 sept 2023

This indicator plots three different Triple Moving Averages (TMAs) for two different time frames on a price chart:
Middle TMA Line: This is the main TMA line, calculated based on a user-defined number of past bars. It's represented by a solid line on the chart.
Upper TMA Line: This line is calculated by adding a certain multiple of the Average True Range (ATR) to the main TMA line. It helps identify potential resistance levels and is plotted as a solid line.
Lower TMA Line: Similar to the upper line, this line is calculated by subtracting a multiple of the ATR from the main TMA line. It helps identify potential support levels and is also plotted as a solid line.

Additionally, you have the option to overlay these TMA lines on a higher timeframe (HTF) if desired. When you enable this feature, it plots the same three TMA lines but calculated using data from a higher timeframe, which can provide additional context for your trading decisions.

The indicator uses different colors for the TMA lines based on their relationships:

Green: The middle TMA line is above the higher timeframe middle TMA line, suggesting a potential bullish (upward) trend.
Red: The middle TMA line is below the higher timeframe middle TMA line, suggesting a potential bearish (downward) trend.
In addition, it plots the upper and lower TMA lines in shades of purple and maroon, respectively, on the higher timeframe for reference.

Overall, this indicator helps traders identify potential areas of support and resistance and assess the trend direction by comparing the TMA lines of different timeframes.

Variable:

TMA_Period:

This input variable allows you to specify the number of past bars that are used to calculate the main Triple Moving Average (TMA) line. A larger value will result in a smoother TMA line, while a smaller value will make it more responsive to recent price changes.
ATR_Period:

This input variable determines the number of past bars used to calculate the Average True Range (ATR). The ATR is a measure of price volatility. A longer ATR period considers a broader range of price movement, while a shorter period reacts more quickly to recent volatility.
ATR_Multiplier:

This input allows you to set a multiplier for the ATR on the current timeframe. The ATR value is multiplied by this factor to calculate the upper and lower TMA lines. A higher multiplier will result in wider TMA bands, while a lower multiplier will make them narrower.
ATR_Multiplier_HTF:

Similar to ATR_Multiplier, this input sets a multiplier for the ATR on a higher timeframe (HTF). It affects the width of the HTF TMA bands.
TF_1:

This input variable lets you choose the desired higher timeframe (HTF) for the indicator. You can select from various timeframes, including 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 240 minutes (4 hours), daily (D), weekly (W), monthly (M), or choose "Auto" to let the script automatically determine the HTF based on the current timeframe.
src:

This input allows you to choose the price source used for calculations. By default, it's set to 'close,' which means the closing prices of each bar are used. You can change this to other price sources like 'open,' 'high,' 'low,' or 'ohlc4' (a combination of open, high, low, and close prices).
ma_type:

This input lets you select the type of moving average used in the calculations. You have three options: Weighted Moving Average (WMA), Double Weighted Moving Average (DWMA), and Triple Weighted Moving Average (TWMA).
Plot_TMA_HTF_Midline:

If set to 'true,' it will plot the middle TMA line of the higher timeframe (HTF) on the chart. If set to 'false,' the HTF middle TMA line will not be displayed.
