Master the 9-period momentum MA with dynamic glow effect. See trend direction at a glance with this signature TouchGrass feature.
The Momentum MA is a 9-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) with a dynamic "neon glow" effect. It changes color based on whether price momentum is bullish or bearish.
Fast MA (9) is ABOVE Slow MA (21). Bullish momentum — trend is up.
Fast MA (9) is BELOW Slow MA (21). Bearish momentum — trend is down.
The "glow" is created by plotting multiple lines with decreasing opacity behind the main MA. This creates a neon-like visual effect that makes the trend direction instantly visible.
🎨 Technical Detail: 3 additional plots at 60%, 80%, and 90% transparency with widths of 8, 5, and 3 respectively, creating a layered glow effect.
Strong bullish trend. Look for long entries on pullbacks to the MA.
Strong bearish trend. Look for short entries on rallies to the MA.
When the glow switches from red to green (or vice versa), a BULLISH/BEARISH signal fires.
Sideways chop. Wait for a clear break and color confirmation before trading.
