The indicator displays the difference between the DiffMA lines, i.e., two moving averages calculated within the range of one-direction candlesticks.

The calculations doe not require the availability of DiffMA - the indicator calculates it by itself.

It has two configurable parameters:

  • Period - DiffMA calculation period
  • Applied price - DiffMA calculation price

Calculations:

DMA = (Up - Dn)

where:

UP = SumUp / CountUp
DN = SumDn / CountDn

SumUp = Sum of SMA(Applied price, 1) for all bullish candlesticks within the Period
SumDn = Sum of SMA(Applied price, 1) for all bearish candlesticks within the Period
CountUp - number of bullish candlesticks within the Period
CountDn - number of bearish candlesticks within the Period
