The Inverse Distance Weighted Moving Average calculates a moving average where historical prices are weighted according to their pairwise absolute distances across a user-defined lookback window.

Overview
Plotted directly on the price chart, the indicator tracks trend direction by evaluating the line's slope. It dynamically colors the moving average line, candles, and background chart area based on rising or falling momentum. Settings allow customization of the lookback length, input source, and individual visual coloring options.
The inputs you can change from the gear icon on the chart. Defaults are the author's.

This script plots three moving averages on the price chart: a fast EMA or SMA with 10 periods, a slow EMA or SMA with 20 periods, and a trend EMA or SMA with 100 periods. It signals trend changes by drawing a white cross when the fast moving average crosses ab
This indicator plots four customizable moving averages directly on the main price chart using default lengths of 3, 8, 21, and 50 periods. It fills the space between adjacent averages in green or maroon depending on trend alignment. Additionally, it computes B
This indicator plots three exponential moving averages and ATR volatility envelopes on the price chart. It compares the fast and slow EMAs to shade a trend ribbon and marks confirmed upward and downward crossovers with triangle labels. Settings change the thre
Donald SPX - Options Trading is an overlay indicator designed for intraday SPX analysis. It plots a 200-period Weighted Moving Average (WMA) on the price chart while evaluating multi-timeframe market structure across Daily, 15-minute, 5-minute, and 2-minute ba
This multi-timeframe indicator calculates and plots 20-period and 60-period simple moving averages from the 60-minute timeframe directly onto the price chart. The 20-period average displays as a green line, while the 60-period average appears in blue. It serve
This indicator modifies standard Bollinger Bands to measure directional trend force based on line alignment. It calculates a simple moving average basis along with upper and lower volatility bands. When all three lines move upward or downward simultaneously, i
