HiLoMA
HiLoMA (High/Low Moving Average) was designed specifically for calculating moving average boundries similar to Bollinger Bands, but is derived from the highest and lowest prices of an asset, not just the closing price. The timeframe is configurable and the study displays arrows where buys (below) and sells (above) should take place.
On exchanges with low or discounted fees, the study does excessively well at scalping. Backtesting, in general, shows this study to be very robust in any market conditions.
The alert conditions are clearly identified as BUY ASSET and SELL ASSET for automated trading.
Buys only occur when the entire spread is below the momentum line.
Sells only take place when the entire spread is above the momentum line.
When the momentum line cuts through the spread, any potentional buys/sells are ignored as these are considered weak.
Be sure your calculate your momentum on the basis of your candlestick timeframe. If you are using 3 minutes candlesticks and you want a 24 hour momentum, you need to set your momentum to 480. This holds true for all timeframes.
