This trading indicator introduces a unique moving average that dynamically adjusts as trends make new higher-highs or lower-lows, making it a versatile tool for various trading strategies.
Indicator Settings
- Length: This setting defines the initial smoothing factor of the moving average using the formula (2 / (Length + 1)). It also determines the period over which maximums or minimums are rolled.
- Increment: This parameter controls the smoothing factor increment (2 / (Increment + 1)) for each new higher-high or lower-low. Lower values lead to a quicker converging moving average, optimizing it for faster market responses.
- Fast: Determines the smoothing factor for the fast moving average, helping traders adapt to swift market changes.
How to Trade with the Dynamic Converging Moving Average
This specialized moving average can be employed in the same manner as a traditional slow moving average. However, its ability to converge more rapidly towards the price as a trend endures provides traders with the advantage of more timely crossover signals, enhancing their overall trading strategy.
The behavior of this moving average is reminiscent of the Parabolic SAR or the TRAMA indicator. This similarity reveals its potential for effectively capturing trend strength and direction. Check out our TRAMA indicator for further insights here: TRAMA Indicator.
In the chart above, observe how the moving average accelerates its convergence with the price as new higher-highs or lower-lows emerge, highlighting its robustness in tracking market dynamics.
