This Pine Script indicator is designed to provide traders with a comprehensive view of market conditions by combining moving averages, VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), and custom distance signals. It offers a clean and professional table interface to monitor trend strength, distance from moving averages, and potential trade signals.
Key Features
Moving Averages and VWAP:
The indicator calculates five moving averages (MAs) of user-defined lengths, providing a multi-faceted view of market trends.
VWAP is included to help identify overall market sentiment. VWAP is commonly used by institutional traders to measure the average price at which a security has traded throughout the day, taking into account both price and volume.
Slope Degree Calculation:
The indicator calculates the slope degree of each moving average. The slope is a measure of the moving average's angle, indicating the strength and direction of the trend.
Steeper slopes (positive or negative) indicate stronger trends, while flatter slopes suggest weaker or consolidating trends.
Trend Strength Analysis:
For each moving average, the indicator provides a trend strength rating based on the calculated slope. It categorizes trends as "Strong Bullish," "Moderate Bullish," "Flat," "Moderate Bearish," or "Strong Bearish."
The VWAP trend strength is shown as "Bullish" if the current price is above the VWAP and "Bearish" if below.
Distance Signal (DS):
The indicator includes a user-defined threshold for distance signals. This threshold determines whether the price is "Near" the moving average or significantly above/below it, indicated by "DS" (Distance Signal).
Traders can adjust the threshold to suit their trading strategy. For instance, a higher threshold might be used in volatile markets to identify meaningful deviations from the moving averages.
Table Display:
The indicator displays all relevant data in a clean, minimalistic table format, showing the moving average lengths, slope degrees, trend strengths, minutes since the last reversal, distance from the moving average, and distance signals.
The table also includes a row for VWAP, making it easy to compare the current price with this key level.
Trade Signal:
At the bottom of the table, a summary "Trade Signal" is displayed, showing either "Bullish Signal" or "Bearish Signal" based on the overall trend indications from the moving averages.
How to Use This Indicator
Identifying Trends: Use the slope degree and trend strength indicators to determine the direction and strength of the trend. Steeper slopes and stronger trend ratings suggest stronger trends, ideal for trend-following strategies.
VWAP Analysis: The VWAP row helps to identify whether the market is generally bullish or bearish. A price above VWAP typically suggests buying interest, while a price below suggests selling pressure.
Distance Signals: The DS column alerts traders when the price is significantly away from a moving average, which could signal potential overbought or oversold conditions, useful for mean reversion strategies.
Trade Signal: The final "Trade Signal" offers a quick summary of the overall market condition, combining the insights from all moving averages.
Customization
Moving Averages: Adjust the lengths of the five moving averages to match your trading strategy or the specific asset you're analyzing.
Distance Threshold: Set the distance threshold to control the sensitivity of the DS signals. A lower threshold will generate more signals, while a higher threshold will highlight only significant deviations.
This indicator is a versatile tool that can be used in various trading strategies, whether you're a trend follower, mean reversion trader, or someone looking to identify key levels like VWAP. Its clear, table-based interface ensures that all the critical data is available at a glance, allowing for quick decision-making in fast-moving markets.
