MA Score Indicator

 

#trend #moving-average #multi-timeframe #alignment 

MA Score tells you at a glance whether short-term, medium-term, and long-term trend structure are aligned — and in which direction. Instead of watching five separate moving averages on your chart, it compresses them into a single number from -5 to +5. 

Default period: 20, 50, 100, 150, 200 

Line behavior: Displayed as a histogram. Each bar shows a whole number. +5 means price is above every moving average — maximum bullish alignment. -5 means price is below every moving average — maximum bearish alignment. Zero means the market is split. 

Useful readings: 

– Score above zero — trend structure favors the bulls. 

– Score below zero — trend structure favors the bears. 

– Score rising — trend structure is improving. 

– Score falling — trend structure is breaking down. 

– Score at +3, +4, or +5 — uptrend is confirmed across multiple timeframes. 

– Score at -3, -4, or -5 — downtrend is confirmed across multiple timeframes. 

Objective rules: 

– Go long when the score crosses from negative or zero into positive territory. 

– Go short when the score crosses from positive or zero into negative territory. 

– Exit when the score crosses back through zero. 

– Strongest signals happen at the extremes (+5 or -5) — full multi-timeframe alignment. 

What makes it unique: It replaces five moving averages with one number. You instantly know whether the trend is aligned across timeframes, without cluttering your chart or trying to read multiple lines.
