165# TMA Overlay for TradingWiew -TradingView Strategy

Submit by Tommy Gun

In this short article I address the question of a possible use among the many of the TMA Bands Overlay, a custom indicator of the TradingView platform. The interpretation I show is trend following but it could also be used as a trend-reversal trading method. Here, therefore, I address the issue of how to use this indicator to generate signals in the direction of the trend. 

I look at the combination of two types of TMA from a non-algortmic graphical point of view.
The trend is determined by the crossing of two moving averages of the TMAs. When the gray line is greater than the black one, the trend is upward, and, therefore, only the bullish signals are considered, when the gray line is less than the black one, only the bearish signals are evaluated.
The buy and sell signals seen on the chart are generated by the TMA Overlay.
