We’ve released a new Linear Weighted Moving Average Multi-Timeframe (LWMA MTF) indicator for cTrader. It allows traders to see both short-term and higher-timeframe trends directly on one chart, helping you align entries with the broader market direction.
The indicator plots two Linear Weighted Moving Averages — one based on the active chart’s timeframe and another from a selectable higher timeframe (like H4, Daily, or Weekly).
Because it weights recent prices more heavily, the LWMA reacts faster than standard moving averages, making it ideal for identifying early trend shifts or momentum changes.
Key Highlights
- Plots two synchronised LWMAs — one for the main chart and one for a higher timeframe.
- Responds faster to price changes by weighting recent bars more strongly.
- Works with all major timeframes and custom higher-timeframe selections.
- Colour-coded lines for clear visual distinction.
- Helps confirm trend alignment without switching charts.
How to Use
When the lower-timeframe LWMA rises above the higher-timeframe LWMA, it suggests bullish momentum.
When it falls below, it indicates bearish sentiment.
Traders can use these crossovers to confirm entries, manage risk, or filter out trades that move against the dominant trend.
Best Used With
- MACD – Confirms momentum direction during LWMA crossovers.
- RSI – Avoids taking trades in overbought or oversold regions.
- ATR – Sets volatility-based stops and targets.
