What I'm using for the MA you mentioned is a Hull moving average set at 34 periods..been using it on most charts for a while now and its pretty danged good..will post a chart on next post that has the COG 200/2...Hull MA 34 on H4

Heres my setup for now...U/J H4 using COG 200/2 Hull MA 34...regular candles and smoothed HA...kinda busy but information rich..hard to keep the chart tame(LOL)

Will tell you another indicator that I sure wish I could find for FOREX...a true 'Slope of The Close'...back in my equity days stockcharts.com had a perfect one...it was simply a type of moving average in which zero line is the signal line...any move above zero was bullish and any move below zero was bearish.On my chart notice I use an awesome oscillator and its being used by me as sort of a slope of the close indie that I wish I could get...the zero line gets my constant attention although it has to be used with attention also to extreme levels of AO above/below zero..if I wait for the zero line cross it can have me late to the party.Main reason is the AO is static..not dynamic as we see with the COG...a good slope of the close indie is somewhat dynamic and its tough for one to cross it...but once across zero theres a strong move following the cross.The Hull MA or Slope Direction Line works fairly well also as a replacement for slope of the close but the formula for the real deal isn't to be found for MT4.Guess I'll just have to whine and live without it(LOL)

Now this might be helpful..same chart I posted earlier on U/J but this has a slope direction line added ...one minor change to it tho..the SDL allows for MA method change and default is method 3(smoothed)..I changed it to a 1(simple) its set at 34 periods like the Hull Ma...I cant change Hull method is reason I didn't add another hull...both have 34 periods but on is simple and other is smoothed..note the crossovers on the chart of these two MAs...this looks good
