# Moving Average Envelope
|
||
|
||
Moving Average Envelope consists of three lines: a moving average in the middle and two lines plotted at a fixed percentage above and below it. The envelope provides a simple way to identify potential support and resistance levels based on a percentage deviation from the average price.
|
||
|
||
## Calculation
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Middle = MA(Source, Length)
|
||
Upper = Middle + (Middle × Percentage/100)
|
||
Lower = Middle - (Middle × Percentage/100)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Where:
|
||
* MA = Moving Average (can be SMA, EMA, or WMA)
|
||
* Source = Price series (typically close price)
|
||
* Length = Lookback period for moving average
|
||
* Percentage = Fixed percentage for band width
|
||
|
||
## Parameters
|
||
|
||
* Source (default: close) - Price series used for the moving average
|
||
* Length (default: 20) - Period used for moving average calculation
|
||
* Percentage (default: 1.0) - Fixed percentage distance from MA to bands
|
||
* MA Type (default: 1) - Moving average type: 0:SMA, 1:EMA, or 2:WMA
|
||
|
||
## Interpretation
|
||
|
||
* The middle line shows the average price trend
|
||
* Upper and lower bands create a channel based on fixed percentage
|
||
* Price reaching the bands may indicate overbought/oversold conditions
|
||
* Unlike volatility-based bands, envelope width changes proportionally with price
|
||
* Band penetration may signal potential trend reversals
|
||
* Works best in trending markets with consistent volatility
|
||
|
||
## Implementation
|
||
|
||
The implementation includes:
|
||
* Choice of three moving average types (SMA, EMA, WMA)
|
||
* Optimized calculations for each MA type
|
||
* Circular buffer for efficient SMA calculation
|
||
* Alpha smoothing for EMA
|
||
* Linear weighting for WMA
|
||
* Proper handling of NA values
|
||
* Input validation
|
||
* Percentage-based band width calculation
