Colored Moving Averages With Close Signals[Whvntr][TradeStation]
Updated
Plots the first time the close price is above or below the colored portion of the chosen MA. The MA's formula is from TradeStation's indicator: "Colored Moving Averages Can Help You Spot Trends". I modified that indicator with customizations that include: Buy and Sell signals. Each time the current bar closes above the MA, while it's red (bearish), there's a Sell label at the start of that MA trend. Likewise: each time the current bar closes below the MA, while it's white (bullish), there's a Buy label at the beginning of that MA trend. You can now, also, easily see which MA you are selecting by hovering your cursor over the tooltips icon. I've included a modified Hull MA as default because I've found this SMA combination with the WMA to be a very smooth oscillation. I've also added some different types of MA's. Colored moving averages are helpful to determine when a trend may be reversing.
