Configurable Guppy Moving Average Fishnet for Visualizing Market Structure

Article ProRealCode

Summary

This indicator presents a configurable version of the Guppy multiple moving average display. Users choose a minimum and maximum moving-average period, the increment between periods, and the transparency of the plotted lines. The example settings use periods from 20 to 200 with increments of five, while the description illustrates how the number of lines changes with the selected range and step. Moving averages are grouped by period into three color bands, intended to make shorter, middle, and longer lookback behavior easier to distinguish.

The indicator is a visualization aid rather than a complete trading strategy. It does not define entry or exit rules, specify how to interpret line interactions, or provide backtest evidence. Its usefulness depends on selecting periods and a moving-average type appropriate to the instrument and timeframe. The page includes platform-specific code and unrelated privacy information; it offers no claims about profitability or predictive performance.

Key ideas

  • The display plots multiple moving averages across a user-selected range of periods.
  • A configurable period step controls the spacing and count of plotted averages.
  • Transparency and moving-average type are adjustable parameters.
  • Three color groups distinguish shorter, middle, and longer periods.
  • The indicator visualizes price structure but does not specify a tested trading strategy.
