About The Trading Indicators
The Ultimate_MA.ex4 is a modified moving average that computes the weighted average of 3 moving averages (Simple, Exponential, Smoothed or Linear Weighted).
It has been shown to follow trend better than the single moving average and a good alternative to EMA or SMA for traders who don’t like untidiness.
The Simple Moving Average ex4 (55) is much slower, but does keeps us in the trade much longer, thereby eliminating false and short-live price actions.
The Signal Generator MA Crossing RSI ex4 indicator is made up of 2 indicators i.e. Relative Strength Index and Moving Averages.
Their formulas are not combined, but they are both displayed on the same window. The MA crossover produces the purple and blue dots.
