M2_MA: A Smoothed Blend of EMA and LWMA
Summary
The document introduces M2_MA, a technical indicator described as a smoothed, non-trivial linear combination of exponential and linearly weighted moving averages. It identifies the indicator’s author and notes that its implementation relies on reusable smoothing classes from an external library. The entry is a brief description of the calculation concept rather than a full explanation of the combination’s formula or parameter choices.
The text provides no chart interpretation, market examples, backtest, or evidence that the indicator improves trading decisions. It notes that an earlier version appeared in an MQL4 code archive and points to a more extensive article on averaging price series for implementation background. As presented, the indicator may be relevant to researchers exploring alternative price smoothing, but its behavior and usefulness require independent examination.
Key ideas
- M2_MA combines EMA and LWMA smoothing in a linear construction.
- The description does not specify the full formula or parameter settings.
- Its implementation depends on a separate smoothing-classes library.
- The document offers no trading tests or evidence of predictive value.
