Four Moving Average Comparisons for Directional Arrow Signals

Summary

This indicator uses four moving averages to generate directional signals. It marks an upward condition when the first and third averages each exceed their paired averages, and a downward condition when both fall below their counterparts. Users can set a period, applied price, and calculation method for each average.

A swing-only setting displays arrows when the signal direction changes. With that setting disabled, the indicator instead displays a dotted line when its signal condition holds. The document describes the signal rules and configurable inputs, but gives no backtest, market context, or evidence that the signals predict returns. It does not specify how to choose the moving-average settings or manage trades based on the arrows.

Key ideas

• The indicator compares four configurable moving averages in two pairs.
• An upward signal requires both paired comparisons to be positive.
• A downward signal requires both paired comparisons to be negative.
• Swing mode marks direction changes, while the alternative mode displays a line during qualifying conditions.
• The document provides no performance evidence or trading risk rules.
