Basics :

This indicator is using the well known JMA (Jurik Moving Average) to calculate a sort of a generic trend. The way it calculates it :

  • it calculates the jma of high

  • it calculates the jma of low

  • it calculates the jma of close

  • it calculates the jma of typical price (high+low+close)/3 - the "generic" value (it s not the same as (jma(high)+jma(low)+jma(close))/3 hence the name "generic")

  • the slope of the "generic" depends on the slopes of the first 3 valuse

  • if all are sloping up the color of the "generic value is the color for up

  • if all are sloping down the color of the "generic value is the color for down

  • otherwise the color of the "generic' is indicating neutral (thus filtering out some potential false signals)

Usage :

You can use the color of the "generic" value as a signal. Also, the colors of the other 3 jmas can be used as early warnings fo potential trend change or reversal
