AllAverages Indicator: Comparing Moving-Average Methods and Price Inputs
Summary
This document describes an indicator that lets users choose among a broad set of moving-average and smoothing methods, including simple, exponential, weighted, regression-based, volume-weighted, and filter-style variants. It also lists price series that can serve as inputs, ranging from standard OHLC-derived values to Heiken Ashi values and trend-biased composites. The stated purpose is to support experimentation with different average constructions in trading strategies.
The page is primarily a feature inventory rather than a mathematical guide: it names the available methods and price choices but does not give their formulas, parameter guidance, signal rules, or comparative test results. It notes that the posted indicator is public-domain work and that the author uses modified averages, but provides no evidence about which variants perform better. Researchers can use the list to identify alternatives for controlled comparison; any claims about responsiveness, lag, or profitability must be evaluated on their own data and with suitable validation.
Key ideas
- The indicator offers many moving-average and smoothing families, including weighted, regression-based, and filter methods.
- Users can select standard price inputs as well as derived and Heiken Ashi price series.
- The document lists capabilities but does not explain the individual calculation formulas.
- It provides no trading rules or evidence that any listed average performs better than another.
- Comparisons among variants require independent testing with appropriate validation.
