How It Works
The indicator calculates what higher timeframe moving averages look like on your current chart by using equivalent periods:
- 20-period Daily MA on 1-hour chart = 480-period MA (24 hours × 20 periods)
- 50-period Daily MA on 1-hour chart = 1200-period MA (24 hours × 50 periods)
- 20-period Daily MA on 15-minute chart = 1920-period MA (96 periods per day × 20 periods)
This maintains exact trend representation while showing higher timeframe context on your preferred trading timeframe.
When insufficient historical data exists, the progressive optimization system finds the next best available timeframe for accurate calculations.
