Interactive MA Stop Loss [TANHEF]This indicator is "Interactive." Once added to the chart, you need to click the start point for the moving average stoploss. Dragging it afterward will modify its position.
Why choose this indicator over a traditional Moving Average?
To accurately determine that a wick has crossed a moving average, you must examine the moving average's range on that bar (blue area on this indicator) and ensure the wick fully traverses this area.
When the price moves away from a moving average, the average also shifts towards the price. This can make it look like the wick crossed the average, even if it didn't.
How is the moving average area calculated?
For each bar, the moving average calculation is standard, but when the current bar is involved, its high or low is used instead of the close. For precise results, simply setting the source in a typical moving average calculation to 'Low' or 'High' is not sufficient in calculating the moving average area on a current bar.
Moving Average Options:
Simple Moving Average
Exponential Moving Average
Relative Moving Average
Weighted Moving Average

The moving average type can be set and length modified to adjust the stoploss. An optional profit target may be added.
A symbol is display when the stoploss and profit target are hit. If a position is create that is not valid, "Overlapping MA and Bar" is displayed.

Overall, it is a minimalistic indicator. No major improvements or trading logic like some of my other indicators, but I did make it slightly easier to use and visually appealing. The MAs' colors change from light to dark green/blue/red depending on the trend - bullish or bearish respectively. Initially, those were changing from green to red (based on direction) but it became a bit confusing when they started crossing each other. Anyway, feel free to change those colors to whatever you like.
If you have suggestions on how to improve this indicator or ideas about new ones, please drop me a line. Thanks.
