If you're looking to fine-tune your trading strategy, the MA Lag Reduce indicator is a game changer. This tool isn’t just your average Simple Moving Average (SMA); it comes with a unique twist that allows you to eliminate delay, making your trading signals sharper and more responsive.

Here’s a quick rundown of the three key input parameters you’ll want to set:

  • Period: This determines how many candles the indicator will look back on.
  • Applied Price: Choose which price you want to apply the moving average to, like closing price or open price.
  • Lag Reduce Factor (*): This is where the magic happens.

How it Works:

MLR = ((MA / PrevMA) ^ RLFactor) * MA

Here’s the breakdown:

MA - SMA(Applied Price, Period)
* Note: Setting the Lag Reduce factor to 0 will revert the indicator back to a standard SMA with the same parameters.
