Didi Needles Signals with Moving Average Difference Filtering
Summary
This indicator builds on the Didi Needles approach, which looks for crossovers or convergence among short, medium, and long moving averages. Users can adjust the moving average period, smoothing, and price input. The signals are drawn on the price chart when the three averages cross or meet within a candle’s body.
To filter weak setups, the indicator calculates the percentage difference between the shortest and longest moving averages and compares it with a user-set threshold. It provides that difference in an additional data buffer so traders can inspect values candle by candle and choose a threshold for each market. Buy and sell signals are exposed through separate buffers, using the current candle’s low and high. The document explains the indicator’s mechanics but gives no performance tests or recommended threshold; users are advised to experiment with parameters, timeframes, and other confirmation methods.
Key ideas
- Didi Needles identifies crossovers or convergence among three moving averages.
- Users can change the moving average period, smoothing, and price input.
- A percentage difference between the shortest and longest averages acts as a signal filter.
- Separate buffers expose buy signals, sell signals, and the calculated difference for inspection.
- The document provides no backtest or evidence that a particular threshold is effective.
