An Moving Average Indicator Averaging 28 Calculation Variants

Summary

The r_Ma indicator combines multiple ways of calculating a classical moving average. For a chosen period, it calculates twenty-eight versions, formed from four averaging methods and seven possible input prices, then averages those results into a single indicator value. This gives a trader a composite measure that blends common moving-average conventions instead of relying on just one calculation.

The document identifies the indicator’s author and says an earlier version was published in the MQL4 code library. It provides no formula details, comparisons with individual moving averages, market examples, or performance evidence. It also does not specify how to choose the period or how to turn the indicator into entry, exit, or risk rules. Treat it as a description of an indicator construction, not evidence that the composite produces better signals or returns.

Key ideas

• The indicator averages twenty-eight moving-average calculations for a selected period.
• Its variants combine four averaging approaches with seven input price choices.
• The resulting value is a composite of classical moving-average variants.
• The document gives no performance tests or trading rules for using the indicator.
