PRIME* MA Howfar

Description

MA Howfar, as its name indicates, measures how far the market is from a moving average you specify. The "howfar" information is expressed in ticks (easy to read) and plotted as a bar graph in a separate panel for you to easily visualize. Positive howfar means the market is above the moving average, and negative howfar means the market is below the moving average. Additionally, MA Howfar adds 2 ATR-based thresholds: the upper is for positive howfar and the lower is for negative howfar. When the howfar number meets the upper threshold, the trend switches to uptrend; when the howfar number meets the lower threshold, the trend switches to downtrend.

A wonderful feature of this indicator is trend slowdown detection, based on the number of bars for slowdown scan you define. Its default is 3, which means: if there are 3 consecutive positive decreasing bars, the uptrend experiences a slowdown; if there are 3 consecutive negative decreasing bars, the downtrend experiences a slowdown. Slowdowns are marked with dot symbols ().

In this indicator, ninZaATR is used (instead of regular ATR) for better performance. For your information, ninZaATR is ninZa.co's special ATR version that helps improve indicator performance significantly on intraday charts. It is also a standalone FREE indicator for ninZaFamily → https://ninza.co/product/ninzaatr.

    ninZa.co has some really great indicators that with a little bit of creativity you can get some useful information. One tool that isn't talked about much is MA Howfar. This chart has multiple instances of this indicator overlayed in the same subgraph. It has a log scale instead of linear. The time scale is compressed to show all of Friday RTH and Sunday Globex open plus a few hours. It is said that price trends and consolidates as well as cycles. That is essentially what is attempted to show here as well as turning points in the cycles.
    Like most of ninZa.co's indicators, this one too is BloodHound compatible. I have SharkIndicators and BlackBird so I create signals and strategies using ninZa.co indicators.
