What is the Triangular Moving Average (TMA)?

The Triangular Moving Average (TMA) is a Moving Average that has been averaged again (i.e. averaging the average); this creates an extra smooth Moving Average line. Generally, moving averages are smooth, but the re-averaging makes the Triangular Moving Average even smoother and more wavelike.
The TMA is a weighted average of the last n prices (P), whose result is equivalent to a double smoothed moving average:

SMA = (P1 + P2 + P3 + P4 + … + Pn) / n
TMA = (SMA1 + SMA2 + SMA3 + SMA4 + … SMAn) / n

TMA Redrawing

Our TMA system takes the foundations from above, and implements a central gravity shift. The central shift requires extrapolation of data, but there is no 100% exact way of extrapolating data. So, that extrapolated gap is a subject of changes no matter what extrapolation method one uses. For this reason, there is an unavoidable redrawing aspect to this system.

Once the indicators have been loaded on the chart, they will not redraw. If a trading signal appears for a closed candle, it will not disappear.

TMA Channel Helper (TMA-CH)

The Triangular Moving Average Channel Helper indicator will help identify if a symbol is ranging, or about to break out of range. The indicator will plot a histogram with four different colour options to signify a long/short non-ranging market, the start/end of a range, and a ranging market.
