StepMA V7 Indicator Explanation
StepMA V7 has been developed with a composition of moving averages calculated based on the step-down method. This is why you’ll see the indicator doesn’t certainly change its position until price moves above or below a significant price level.
This is how the indicator solves its lagging issues and stresses more on signal accuracy. Other than that the indicator works in the same manner as moving averages.
Price manages to close above the StepMA level means the trend turns into bullish condition. On the other hand, the price closes below the StepMA level represents the bearish trend of the market.
StepMA V7: Buy Conditions
Price moves above the current StepMA level
A bullish candle closes above the MA level at the same time
Buy triggers at the break of the respective bullish candle’s high
Set stop loss below the current swing low of the market
Exit long or take profit whenever price candle closes below the MA level
