MA-DNA [AlgoFuego]
Every moving average forces a tradeoff between speed and stability.
MA-DNA doesn't choose. It splices four lineages into one —
inheriting the strengths of each, filtering out the rest.
A fast EMA reacts quickly to price — and whipsaws you in choppy markets. A slow SMA stays calm — and lags badly at every reversal. A WMA weights recent bars heavier. A SMMA smooths aggressively but trails further behind. Every trader has felt this tradeoff: pick speed and get noise, or pick stability and get lag. There has never been a way to have both at once.
A composite moving average that balances responsiveness and stability — reducing short-term noise while preserving long-term trend clarity.
The construction is precise. Four independent moving averages are calculated in parallel over the same length and source. They're averaged into a single value. That value is filtered for noise. What emerges is smoother than any one input — and more honest about the trend than all four combined.
SMA, EMA, WMA, and SMMA are calculated simultaneously over the same user-defined length and price source. Each carries its own personality — fast, weighted, smoothed, simple — computed independently on every bar.
The four values are averaged into a single composite line — the MA-DNA value. No single input dominates. A sharp EMA reaction is tempered by the SMMA's patience; the WMA's recency bias is balanced by the SMA's even-handedness.
The composite line passes through an adaptive filtering layer that minimizes short-term market noise — without introducing the heavy lag that a simple additional smoothing pass would cause. The trend signal stays clean even in ranging conditions.
The final MA-DNA line changes color on directional shifts and can feed directly into the backtesting engine — generating entries and exits from crossovers, optionally confirmed by a second filter MA before any trade is taken.
The composite line crosses price — or a second filter MA crosses in agreement. The engine doesn't act on raw crossovers alone; it can demand confirmation from the broader trend before committing to a trade.
Without a filter, every MA-DNA crossover triggers a trade — fast, but exposed to counter-trend whipsaws. With a filter MA active, entries and exits require the broader trend to agree first — fewer trades, higher conviction.
Every MA-DNA crossover against price or a secondary MA triggers an entry or exit immediately. Captures every shift in the composite trend — including short-lived ones — for traders who want maximum responsiveness.
A signal only executes if a selected filter MA also points in the same direction. Reduces entries against the prevailing trend and avoids premature exits during strong directional moves — fewer trades, better quality.
The composite crossover triggers entry. Everything after — risk management, performance tracking, candle coloring — runs automatically. You configure the strand. The engine measures every result across your full chart history.
Equity Curve (Illustrative)
Performance data is illustrative. Statistics auto-update with each new signal. Commission simulation deducts entry and exit fees from all compound return figures.
Combines SMA, EMA, WMA, and SMMA into a single composite line, then applies adaptive noise-reduction filtering for an ultra-smooth, reliable trend signal that resists choppy-market whipsaws.
Choose from MA-DNA, SMA, EMA, WMA, or SMMA for both the primary line and filter MAs. Adjust length, price source, color coding, and optional background fill between lines independently.
Simulate Long or Short strategies directly on-chart with configurable entry triggers, exit conditions by signal or bar count, and optional entry/exit filters for higher-confidence trade signals.
Percentage-based stop-loss and take-profit levels render visually on the chart as labeled lines — customizable in color and label size from Tiny to Huge. Both feed into every backtesting calculation.
Signal type, total trades, wins/losses, max/min/avg return per trade, win rate, compound equity before and after commission, and bars remaining — live on every new signal, directly on your chart.
Entry, exit, stop-loss, and take-profit alerts are individually toggleable through TradingView. Push notifications and email supported — never miss a composite signal, even away from the chart.
Watch a single fast EMA react to every wiggle in price, then watch the MA-DNA composite line trace a calmer, more decisive path through the same data. Same market. Same bars. Two very different trend reads.
A single fast moving average tracks every short-term wiggle in price. It catches reversals early — but it also flips direction on noise that isn't a real trend change, generating false signals in choppy conditions.
Short-term noise moves price slightly against the trend.
The fast average follows the wiggle and flips color — a potential false signal.
A trade opens on noise, then reverses again shortly after — a losing round-trip.
