The MA Wave, or Multiple Moving Average Wave indicator, includes the EMA(34) Wave as introduced by Raghee Horner in her book “Forex Trading for Maximum Profit” published in 2007. Horner’s EMA(34) Wave was calculated using a EMA(High, 34), EMA(Close, 34) and a EMA(Low, 34).The advantages of applying a Moving Average Wave was discussed in our Indicator Spotlight post (with video) here.
Indicator Description
With this version of the Moving Average Wave indicator, one may select from 30 different moving averages. As with the original indicator presented by Horner, you will find the default set to use the EMA. However, this EMA Wave calculates using EMA(High, 34), EMA(Median, 34) and the EMA(Low, 34).
Furthermore, one may customize the Wave bands using the indicators multiplier function. The default value of 1 creates the EMA Wave using the High and Lows of the specified lookback period.
