Overview

John F. Ehlers - Predictive Moving Average builds a weighted average of the selected source, applies a second weighted average, and projects a prediction with a slower trigger. It draws the higher of those two series and optionally colors bars when the prediction is above the trigger and rising. The source, band width, bar coloring, and optional percentage corridor are user settings. Alerts mark the start and end of that bullish condition. It does not manage positions.
