MA Sabres
By LuxAlgoOct 24, 2023
MA Sabres watches the slope direction of a moving average and acts only at the turn: once the MA has run one way for a set number of bars, the first change of direction draws a curved sabre from one bar behind the most recent high or low. The blade projects forward as a reversal marker that doubles as a support and resistance curve and a breakout trigger.
Blade geometry carries information. A sabre's length follows the MA length setting, while its angle is set by the Average True Range of the prior 14 periods. Quiet markets produce flatter blades, volatile ones steeper.
How to Trade the MA Sabres?
- New sabre prints: the selected moving average just reversed after a sustained one-way run, a potential trend turn worth evaluating.
- Blade as a curve to lean on: price holding the sabre keeps the reversal thesis alive; the shape behaves like dynamic support and resistance.
- Cross back through the blade: a move contra to the anticipated direction is a natural stop-loss line and can flag a failed reversal.
- Sabre zones: the figures also highlight areas of market interest where reactions concentrate.
MA Sabres Settings
- MA Type: choose from SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), HullMA, WMA, VWMA, DEMA, TEMA, or NONE to switch it off.
- Length: sets both the moving average period and the sabre shape's length.
- Previous Trend Duration: how many consecutive same-direction bars the MA must print before the next flip creates a sabre.
