Overview

Profit Maximizer (PMax) calculates a selected moving average—supporting types such as EMA, SMA, ZLEMA, VAR, and TSF—and constructs a trailing band offset by a customizable ATR multiplier. The script plots the moving average and PMax line on the main chart, signaling potential trend shifts when the moving average or source price crosses the PMax band.
