Vervoort’s TMA Crossover for Trend-State Signals

Summary

The document outlines a trend indicator based on Sylvain Vervoort’s crossover approach. It compares triple exponential moving averages applied to typical price and Heikin-Ashi price data. This version presents the result in a separate indicator window, where color changes show the current trend state and offer a visual sense of trend strength. The description recommends using those color changes as signals, but it does not specify entry, exit, or position-sizing rules.

The indicator’s behavior depends on the lag introduced by the Heikin-Ashi average price. The document therefore suggests experimenting with periods and price definitions if that input is changed. It lists several Heikin-Ashi price variants, including close, open, high, low, median, typical, weighted, average, median body, and trend-biased price. No backtest, market, timeframe, or performance evidence is provided, so the text explains how to interpret and customize the indicator but does not establish its reliability or profitability.

Key ideas

• The indicator compares triple exponential moving averages of typical price and Heikin-Ashi price.
• It displays trend state in a separate window and uses color changes as visual signals.
• The document describes trend strength as an indicator feature but gives no quantitative definition.
• Changing the Heikin-Ashi price input may affect lag and calls for experimentation with periods.
• The text provides no backtest evidence or complete trade-entry and exit rules.
