The Triangular Moving Average (TMA) indicator for Metatrader 5 behaves in a similar fashion to classic moving averages and delivers buy/sell signals.
TMA double-smooth price data and responds slower to fast trend changes.
This may result in fewer whipsaw trading signals.
TMA can be used as a standalone buy/sell technical tool or combined with an oscillator to pinpoint trade entries and exists more accurately.
How to trade with it?
- A green colored TMA line represents an uptrending market.
- A magenta colored TMA line represents a downtrending market.
The following indicator inputs and parameters can be modified: period, price, style, color.
TMA should work equally well across all time frames and trading instruments (Forex, Gold, Indices, Stocks, etc.).
Make yourself familiar with this technical indicator and test it first on a demo account for an extended period of time.
