This is a free / educational version of the Magic MAs.
It’s not financial advice – always manage your own risk.
Instead of averaging only closes, each Magic MA:
- looks at the midpoints of highs/lows and opens/closes
- decides whether recent behaviour favours the highs or the lows
- builds a series of either highs or lows, then smooths it over your chosen length
You can run:
- Short / Medium / Long Magic MAs
- A weighted combo line (using 1–10 weights)
- Optional traditional short/long SMAs on close
How I use it:
- Price above the combo line → bullish bias
- Price below the combo line → bearish bias
- Short/medium/long Magic MAs together → dynamic support/resistance and trend structure
- Traditional SMAs on for comparison with “classic” moving average behaviour
Inputs:
- Magic MA lengths control how reactive vs smooth each regime is
- Weights (1–10) let you emphasise short, medium or long regimes in the combo
