Guppy's Multiple Moving Average and Convergence/Divergence

Postby Nikolay.Gekht » Fri Feb 26, 2010 7:49 pm

GMMA (Guppy's Multiple Moving Average) is 12 EMA lines:

1) Short (Fast) Group:
EMA(3), EMA(5), EMA(8), EMA(10), EMA(12), EMA(15)

1) Long (Slow) Group:
EMA(30), EMA(35), EMA(40), EMA(45), EMA(50), EMA(60)

GMMACD (Guppy's Multiple Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) is calculated as:
f = SUM(Fast EMA's)
s = SUM(Slow EMA's)
GMMACD = (s - f) / s * 100

hi any chance for a signal when the oscilaltor crossess above/below the 0 line
Thanks

Thanks a lot for this one.
I've just started using GMMA and I already love it.

But I'm also a very unexperienced demo trader so...
Can someone, please, explain it to me how this GMMACD indicator works?

Cheers

As said in the first post GMMACD is the indicator which shows relationship between fast and slow moving averages of GMMA indicator. When the indicator is above zero, the sum of fast MA's is above the sum of slow MAs, when it is below zero - the fast MA's are below slow MA's. The using of the "cross zero" signal is similar to use of two MA intersection. When it goes above zero - it indicates the uptrend. When it goes below zero - it indicates the downtrend. Because, like any MA indicator is a bit inertial (i.e. it shows signal with a lag), the trend must be long enough to be successfully detected.

Great job. Thank you.
Could you possibly add a line following the ends of the bars of the histogram - something like the slow CCI line in Woodies CCI indicator. It would make the indicator even more readable. Its colour could be specified by the user.

Nice work!

Simple and effective indicator!

Could we please have the OPTION of changing the time frames for the EMA's used? Example:

2,5,10,17,25,50 for the short (FAST) and
50,100,200,350,500,1000 for the long (SLOW) groups


Thanks!
