Hey traders! Today, let’s chat about a fantastic tool that can elevate your trading game: the Ultimate Moving Average. This nifty indicator is based on the Ultimate Oscillator, which I’ve tweaked a bit to fit our trading needs.
So, what’s the deal with the Ultimate Moving Average? Well, it calculates a weighted average from three different moving averages, which can be Simple, Exponential, Smoothed, or Linear Weighted. The beauty of this tool is its adjustability—you're in control of three periods and the weight of each one!
In my humble opinion, it does a much better job of following trends compared to a standard moving average. Plus, it can serve as a solid Entry/Exit signal when it crosses a bar or hits a stop-loss level.
If you prefer a cleaner chart with less clutter, the Ultimate Moving Average is a great alternative to traditional SMA or EMA setups. For instance, why not use just one Ultimate MA instead of juggling two or three SMAs or EMAs?
Take a look at the example above. You can see how the Ultimate Moving Average crosses the bar right around the same time as the SMA(5)/SMA(34) crossover. This alignment can give you additional confidence in your trading decisions.
Happy trading, and may the pips be with you!
