Moving Average Band (Titan_Multi_MA_Bands)
Indicator Overview
Displaying bands a specific percentage above and below the moving average
The Moving Average Band indicator displays lines (bands) at levels specified as a percentage above and below the moving average.
It allows for the drawing of up to five lines both above and below, which is useful for detecting the onset of trends, the strength of trends, and market overheat situations based on the deviation from the moving average.
Choice of four types of moving averages
You can choose from four types of moving averages: Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA), and Linear Weighted Moving Average (LWMA).
Supports long-term moving averages
This indicator supports multi-timeframe functionality, allowing you to display long-term moving averages on your chart. For example, you can display a 4-hour moving average and its bands on a 1-hour chart.
【Example of displaying 4-hour moving average bands on a 1-hour chart】
Flexible analysis methods
You can set the deviation percentage for each line according to the asset and timeframe. Experiment with various combinations to find what works best for you.
Analysis methods vary among traders, but here are some examples of how you can use these moving average bands:
Analysis Example 1: Checking for signs of trend initiation When prices deviate from the moving average, it can indicate the start of a trend. Analyzing how much deviation typically leads to trend formation can be insightful.

Analysis Example 2: Analyzing the momentum of a trend Observing how far prices deviate from the moving average during a trend can help you analyze its momentum.
Being aware of changes in momentum can help you respond quickly to trend reversals.

Analysis Example 3: Analyzing market overheat A large deviation from the moving average may indicate that the market is overheating, which could lead to a potential reversal in the short term.
Analyzing the extent of past deviations can help anticipate future price movements.
