MASR Bands

Or Moving Average Support Resistance Bands.

MASR Bands indicator is a moving average surrounded by two bands that work together as support and resistance levels. Statistically, MASR Bands contain price candles 93% of the time. Here is how it is calculated in steps:

1. The first step is to calculate the highest high (HHV) and the lowest low (LLV) for an X period of time.

2. The second step is to divide HHV by LLV to get how wide is the distance between them as a percentage. I call the results of this step MASR Filter.

3. MASR Filter = Sum ((HHV / LLV)-1) / Number of Bars

4. I call the upper band MAR which is a shortcut for Moving Average Resistance. I call the lower band MAS which is a shortcut for Moving Average Support. The moving average in between the bands is called The Center Line.

5. MAR = MASR Center + (75% x MASR Filter x MASR Center)

6. MASR Center is a moving average.

7. MAS = MASR Center - (75% x MASR Filter x MASR Center)
