Four Moving Averages for Trend Direction and Strength

Summary

Four_MA_Strength uses four moving averages to represent both the direction and power of a trend. It assigns values across four levels for rising and falling conditions, with the levels intended to distinguish stronger from weaker trends.

The document provides a high-level description and an illustrative figure reference, but no moving-average periods, calculation details, thresholds, trading rules, or empirical results. It therefore explains the indicator's basic purpose rather than establishing how well it identifies trends. Any use in a strategy would require checking its settings, testing signals across assets and timeframes, and accounting for lag or false changes in direction.

Key ideas

• The indicator combines four moving averages to assess trend direction and strength.
• Four value levels distinguish degrees of rising and falling trend conditions.
• The description does not disclose calculation settings or evidence of trading performance.
