Johnny's Machine Learning Moving Average (MLMA) w/ Trend Alerts📖 Overview
Johnny's Machine Learning Moving Average (MLMA) w/ Trend Alerts is a powerful adaptive moving average indicator designed to capture market trends dynamically. Unlike traditional moving averages (e.g., SMA, EMA, WMA), this indicator incorporates volatility-based trend detection, Bollinger Bands, ADX, and RSI, offering a comprehensive view of market conditions.
The MLMA is "machine learning-inspired" because it adapts dynamically to market conditions using ATR-based windowing and integrates multiple trend strength indicators (ADX, RSI, and volatility bands) to provide an intelligent moving average calculation that learns from recent price action rather than being static.
🛠 How It Works
1️⃣ Adaptive Moving Average Selection
The MLMA automatically selects one of four different moving averages:
📊 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) – Reacts quickly to price changes.
🔵 HMA (Hull Moving Average) – Smooth and fast, reducing lag.
🟡 WMA (Weighted Moving Average) – Gives recent prices more importance.
🔴 VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) – Accounts for volume impact.
The user can select which moving average type to use, making the indicator customizable based on their strategy.
2️⃣ Dynamic Trend Detection
ATR-Based Adaptive Window 📏
The Average True Range (ATR) determines the window size dynamically.
When volatility is high, the moving average window expands, making the MLMA more stable.
When volatility is low, the window shrinks, making the MLMA more responsive.
Trend Strength Filters 📊
ADX (Average Directional Index) > 25 → Indicates a strong trend.
RSI (Relative Strength Index) > 70 or < 30 → Identifies overbought/oversold conditions.
Price Position Relative to Upper/Lower Bands → Determines bullish vs. bearish momentum.
3️⃣ Volatility Bands & Dynamic Support/Resistance
Bollinger Bands (BB) 📉
Uses standard deviation-based bands around the MLMA to detect overbought and oversold zones.
Upper Band = Resistance, Lower Band = Support.
Helps traders identify breakout potential.
Adaptive Trend Bands 🔵🔴
The MLMA has built-in trend envelopes.
When price breaks the upper band, bullish momentum is confirmed.
When price breaks the lower band, bearish momentum is confirmed.
4️⃣ Visual Enhancements
Dynamic Gradient Fills 🌈
The trend strength (ADX-based) determines the gradient intensity.
Stronger trends = More vivid colors.
Weaker trends = Lighter colors.
Trend Reversal Arrows 🔄
🔼 Green Up Arrow: Bullish reversal signal.
🔽 Red Down Arrow: Bearish reversal signal.
Trend Table Overlay 🖥
Displays ADX, RSI, and Trend State dynamically on the chart.
📢 Trading Signals & How to Use It
1️⃣ Bullish Signals 📈
✅ Conditions for a Long (Buy) Trade:
The MLMA crosses above the lower band.
The ADX is above 25 (confirming trend strength).
RSI is above 55, indicating positive momentum.
Green trend reversal arrow appears (confirmation of a bullish reversal).
🔹 How to Trade It:
Enter a long trade when the MLMA turns bullish.
Set stop-loss below the lower Bollinger Band.
Target previous resistance levels or use the upper band as take-profit.
2️⃣ Bearish Signals 📉
✅ Conditions for a Short (Sell) Trade:
The MLMA crosses below the upper band.
The ADX is above 25 (confirming trend strength).
RSI is below 45, indicating bearish pressure.
Red trend reversal arrow appears (confirmation of a bearish reversal).
🔹 How to Trade It:
Enter a short trade when the MLMA turns bearish.
Set stop-loss above the upper Bollinger Band.
Target the lower band as take-profit.
💡 What Makes This a Machine Learning Moving Average?
📍 1️⃣ Adaptive & Self-Tuning
Unlike static moving averages that rely on fixed parameters, this MLMA automatically adjusts its sensitivity to market conditions using:
ATR-based dynamic windowing 📏 (Expands/contracts based on volatility).
Adaptive smoothing using EMA, HMA, WMA, or VWAP 📊.
Multi-indicator confirmation (ADX, RSI, Volatility Bands) 🏆.
📍 2️⃣ Intelligent Trend Confirmation
The MLMA "learns" from recent price movements instead of blindly following a fixed-length average.
It incorporates ADX & RSI trend filtering to reduce noise & false signals.
📍 3️⃣ Dynamic Color-Coding for Trend Strength
Strong trends trigger more vivid colors, mimicking confidence levels in machine learning models.
Weaker trends appear faded, suggesting uncertainty.
🎯 Why Use the MLMA?
✅ Pros
✔ Combines multiple trend indicators (MA, ADX, RSI, BB).
✔ Automatically adjusts to market conditions.
✔ Filters out weak trends, making it more reliable.
✔ Visually intuitive (gradient colors & reversal arrows).
✔ Works across all timeframes and assets.
⚠️ Cons
❌ Not a standalone strategy → Best used with volume confirmation or candlestick analysis.
❌ Can lag slightly in fast-moving markets (due to smoothing).

Gradient Value Overlay
This script helps with identifying certain conditions without cluttering too much of the candles.
Some use cases:
It helps identify rsi low and high values.
Directional price movement becoming difficult.
low and high volume.
it uses a percent rank to distinguish low and high values.
It then uses a gradient to match the percentile rank to heatmap type colors.
i.e. dark blue for lowest volume, white for highest volume.
Current options are:
max bars to use.
approximate color - This value will attempt to give an approximation of what the color might be for the candle close.
e.g. If you're on the 1-hour chart, and only 30 minutes have past, it will multiple the current volume by 1.5. As time passes, if no volume comes in eventually, it will multiply current volume by 1.
This approximate value is only set to work with volume-based options.
option - select the type of value you'd like to see the gradient for.
timeframe - get values from a different chart timeframe.
on/off - turns the gradient on or off.
Gradient type - color wheel or heatmap. Currently these are the only two gardient options.
color wheel's colors for low to high values:
color wheel's current colors:
dark blue
purple
pink
red
orange
yellow
green
teal
white
heatmap's current colors from low values to high values:
dark blue
purple
pink
red
orange
yellow
white
reverse gradient - will reverse the colors so dark blue will be the high value and white will be the low value. Some charts based on previous data; you might need to switch the gradient colors.
moving average length while inside timeframe - an exponential moving average is applied to the values. At 1, there is no moving average applied.
Use case for this is to smooth out the gradient.
An example use case - if your currently on the 1-hour chart, you can set the timeframe to 1 minute and then the moving average length inside timeframe to 60. You will then be seeing the color sixty 1-minute bars.
current timeframe moving average length - an exponential moving average applied to current gradient (helps with smoothing gradient).
Smooth, further smooths values.
There is no set rule for what moving average lengths to use. Adjust timeframe, and moving average lengths to get an insight.
RSI - colour fillThis script showcases the new (overload) feature regarding the fill() function! 🥳
2 plots could be filled before, but with just 1 colour per bar, now the colour can be a gradient type.
In this example we have 2 plots
- rsiPlot , which plots the rsi value
- centerPlot, which plots the value 50 ('centre line')
Explanation of colour fill in the zone 50-80
Default when rsi > 50
- a bottom value is set at 50 (associated with colour aqua)
- and a top value is set at 80 (associated with colour red)
This zone (bottom -> top value) is filled with a gradient colour (50 - aqua -> 80 - red)
When rsi is towards 80, you see a red coloured zone at the rsi value,
while when rsi is around 50, you'll only see the colour aqua
The same principle is applied in the zone 20-50 when rsi < 50
Cheers!
Educational: FillThis script showcases the latest feature of colour fill between lines with gradient
There are 17 ema's, all with adjustable lengths.
In the settings there are 3 options: '1' , '2' , and '1 & 2' :
Option '1'
Here the highest - lowest lines are filled with a gradient colour,
dependable where the 3rd highest/lowest ema is situated in regard of these 2 lines:
Option '2'
Here the colour fill is applied between every ema and the one next to it.
The gradient colour is dependable where the ema is situated in regard of the highest - lowest line:
Option '1 & 2'
A combination of both options:
The setting 'switch colours at ema x' regulates the switch between bullish and bearish colours.
When close is above the chosen ema -> bullish colours, when below -> bearish colours.
Examples of other settings of 'switch colours at ema x' :
Colour switch when close above/below:
ema 14
ema 11
ema 8
ema 5
ema 2
The colours can be set below, both for option '1' and '2'
Cheers!
Moving Average Oscillator by [DM]Greetings colleagues
Today I share an indicator that I had been thinking about for a long time. Its a easy idea but not easy to exploit"
The signals are generated the same as a MACD but the signal lengths are different.
In its standard form, the average signal of all signals is shown.
It has been designed for all those who use moving stockings in a conventional way and do not want to see the moving stockings in the price.
The options are endless on the indicator.
Show or hide all signals
Show or hide fill color of the signals
Show or hide fill gradient color of the signals
Show or hide horizontal lines
Graduation of horizontal lines with only one parameter
Show or hide fill color of horizontal lines
Show or hide fill gradient color of the horizontal lines
Alarms can be configured with any crossover
All sign lengths can be adjusted
You can change the color of each horizontal line and / or hide
RGB color check tool with RSI [DM]Greetings colleagues.
Here I share a tool that uses the color gradient provided by PineCoders and lucf.
This tool was made for the reason that whenever we start with an idea for a script, we end up consuming a lot of time in selecting suitable colors.
An RSI was taken as a reference for the signal
You have multiple switches for axes, fill, background and colors
You can also change the background so that you can check the contrast with the signals.
The mix of colors with 8 boxes (4 channels for each color as detailed below) for each color since RGB has been defined
Red= 0 a 255
Green= 0 a 255
Blue= 0 a 255
Transparency= 0 a 100
I hope you enjoy it. [ ;-)
RK's Framework 01 - Auto Color GradientThis started as a personal arrays study, but after a few tests I decided to made a framework to get my own scripts simplest, lighter and faster.
And now I'm sharing with you guys.
Is very simple to use:
Copy evething inside "RK's Auto Color Gradient Framework" block;
Paste anywhere before the plotting;
Declare the color variable name calling the function "f_autocolor(___, ___)" with the source you gonna plot and the size of the scale do you want to use to compare the data.
Feel free to use.
Hope brings some profits for you guys!!
