Arnaud Legoux Moving Average(ALMA)

Arnaud Legoux Moving Average was created by Arnaud Legoux and Dimitris Kouzis Loukas.

ALMA uses the gauss normal distribution curve.

Arnaud Legoux Moving Average was created to remove small price fluctuation in order to enhance the trend mostly by applying moving average twice,that is, one from left to right and another one from right to left.This was to ensure that the movement is smoothness and more responsiveness.

Just like other moving average indicators, Arnaud Legoux Moving Average is also a trend following indicator.

Arnaud Legoux Moving  Average is based on support and resistance as well as bullish and bearish.


Since Arnaud Legoux Moving Average is a trend following indicator,it therefore follows that when the market is trending upwards, the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average will also be trending upwards while when the market is trending downwards, the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average will also be trading downwards.

Based on support and resistance, when the price rises above the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average when the two are moving upwards,a reversal/breakout will take place and the two will now start moving downwards. On the other hand, when the price falls below the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average when the two are in a downwards trend,an upward reversal will again take place and the two will now start moving upwards.This is indicated as from the candle sticks chart below;



From the candle sticks chart above,there are 3 points, point A,B and C.Point A and B are support and resistance point while point C which is blue line is the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average.

At point A, the market and the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average were initially moving downwards.The price in the market then falls below the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average thus resulting to an upward reversal movement.This will signal the trader to close any sell position and open a buy position.
On the other hand,at point B, the market and the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average were initially moving upwards.The price in the market then rises above the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average thus resulting to a downward reversal movement.This will signal the trader to close any buy position and open a sell position since the two will now be moving downwards.


Recommendation:If you are a day trader just use 1 min, 5 min, 15 min and 30 min timeframe while if you are a swing trader just use 1 hour and above timeframe if you want Arnaud Legoux Moving Average indicator to work well for you.

MA cross indicator is a trend indicator. MA cross is based on the crossover. Based on the crossover, MA cross has two moving average, the shorter term moving average and the longer term moving average. The shorter-term moving average is normally red in color and it represents the price while the longer term moving average is normally blue in color and it represents the moving average.

Coppock curve has 3 period,that is 10 period,14 period and 11 period. Coppock curve is an momentum oscillator and therefore has an oscillation at point 0.0000. Coppock curve is therefore calculated using the following formula which is based on the 3 periods; Coppock curve =( WMA of 10period) of (14 period ROC+11period ROC) Where as; WMA is Weight Moving Average; ROC is Rate Of Change indicator; Since coppock curve has an oscillation at point 0,it therefore follows that when the coppock curve falls below 0.000 that will be an indication that the market has become an oversold market thus the trader should close any sell position and enter a buy position.On the other hand though not recommendable ,when the coppock curv
