Daily MA — Higher-Timeframe Daily Moving Average Overlay

9 Kas

This indicator plots a clean, higher-timeframe daily moving average directly on any chart, so you can always see where price sits relative to the daily trend — even while trading on lower timeframes (1m, 5m, etc.).

It’s designed to be:

• Simple – a single, configurable daily MA line
  
• Consistent – always anchored to the 1D timeframe
  
• Flexible – choose EMA or SMA and customize line width/color
  

⸻

What This Indicator Does

• Pulls the 1-Day (1D) moving average of the current symbol, regardless of your chart timeframe.
  
• Lets you choose between EMA (Exponential Moving Average) or SMA (Simple Moving Average).
  
• Plots that daily MA as a smooth overlay on your current chart.
  
• Keeps the line visually clean and continuous, making it easy to see daily trend and dynamic support/resistance.
  

This is not a signals/strategy script. It doesn’t generate buy/sell arrows or backtest logic. It’s a context tool for visualizing the daily trend while you execute your own strategy.

Why a Daily MA Overlay Is Useful

Traders commonly use a daily moving average to:

Anchor intraday trades to the higher-timeframe trend

• Longs when price is holding above the Daily MA
  
• Shorts or caution when price is rejecting from the Daily MA
  

Identify dynamic support/resistance

• Price often reacts around well-watched daily MAs (e.g., 50, 100, 200)
  

Filter setups

• Only take long setups when price is above the daily trend line
  
• Avoid counter-trend trades when price is extended far from the Daily MA
  

Because this script forces the MA to always be computed on 1D, you don’t have to switch back and forth between intraday and daily charts to keep track of the bigger picture.

How to Use It in Your Workflow

Intraday traders (scalpers/day-traders):

Apply the indicator to your 1m/5m/15m charts.

Use the Daily MA as a trend filter:

• Only look for long scalps when price is above the Daily MA.
  
• Be more cautious with longs or consider shorts when price is below it.
  

Swing traders:

Use it on 1H/4H charts to see where price sits relative to a longer-term daily trend.

Watch for:

• Pullbacks to the Daily MA in an uptrend as potential demand zones.
  
• Rejections at the Daily MA in a downtrend as potential supply zones.
  

Risk management & context:

• Avoid chasing extended moves far from the Daily MA.
  
• Mark confluence with other tools (support/resistance, volume profile, etc.) around the Daily MA.

Notes & Limitations

• The moving average itself is calculated from daily candles, then displayed on your current timeframe.
  
• This is a visual aid only. It does not guarantee future performance or provide financial advice.
  
• Always combine this indicator with your own analysis, risk management, and trading plan.

V1.1

What's New
Fixed a display bug that caused the MA line to appear as a single point on lower timeframes when zoomed in.

Details
In v1.0, the indicator only plotted values at daily boundaries and on the current bar. This meant that on 1-minute charts, if your visible range fell within a single trading day, you'd only see the MA on the current bar—requiring you to zoom out to see the full line.
v1.1 now plots the MA continuously across all bars, so the line displays correctly regardless of timeframe or zoom level.

Daily MA v1.1
What's New

Fixed a display bug that caused the MA line to appear as a single point on lower timeframes when zoomed in.

• Added a "Smooth Line" toggle in settings.
  
• Added tooltips to all inputs.
  

Smooth Line Option
When enabled (default), the MA transitions diagonally between daily values for a cleaner look. When disabled, the line shows the true daily MA value which stays flat until each day closes. The stair-step view is slightly more accurate since interpolated values between day boundaries aren't actual MA calculations—but the difference is minor in practice.
