The Typical Fibonacci Average For ThinkOrSwim

This is the code for my Typical Fib Average. It is basically used as support/resistance.
The upward /downward slope of the average lines helps determine the overall direction of price.
When price crosses the Fibonacci average, it can be a sign of a change in trend.

It is a combination of 8 averages (lengths are adjustable) that are each multiplied by a Fibonacci number, added up, and then divided by the sum of those Fibonacci numbers.

It's used the same way you'd use a moving average. At it's default settings, it pairs well with charts of the index etfs like SPY, QQQ, and DIA.

I've updated the original post to show what the average looks like on a daily chart of the SPY at it's default settings. You can mess around with the average types and lengths to get different averages, but it's important to understand that AverageLength1 is weighted the most (x34) and AverageLength8 is weighted the least (x1).

Code: 
input AverageTypes = AverageType.EXPONENTIAL;
input AveragePrices = close;
input AverageLength1 = 144;
input AverageLength2 = 126;
input AverageLength3 = 108;
input AverageLength4 = 90;
input AverageLength5 = 72;
input AverageLength6 = 54;
input AverageLength7 = 27;
input AverageLength8 = 18;

def avg1 = MovingAverage(AverageTypes, AveragePrices, AverageLength1) * 34;
def avg2 = MovingAverage(AverageTypes, AveragePrices, AverageLength2) * 21;
def avg3 = MovingAverage(AverageTypes, AveragePrices, AverageLength3) * 13;
def avg4 = MovingAverage(AverageTypes, AveragePrices, AverageLength4) * 8;
def avg5 = MovingAverage(AverageTypes, AveragePrices, AverageLength5) * 5;
def avg6 = MovingAverage(AverageTypes, AveragePrices, AverageLength6) * 3;
def avg7 = MovingAverage(AverageTypes, AveragePrices, AverageLength7) * 2;
def avg8 = MovingAverage(AverageTypes, AveragePrices, AverageLength8);
def typfibavg = (avg1 + avg2 + avg3 + avg4 + avg5 + avg6 + avg7 + avg8) / 87;

plot TypicalFibAverage = typfibavg;

Below is a screenshot of the Typical Fib Average at it's default settings on a daily chart of the SPY:

Someone asked in another thread if I could share the code for my Typical Fib Average. It is a combination of 8 averages (lengths are adjustable) that are each multiplied by a Fibonacci number, added up, and then divided by the sum of those Fibonacci numbers. Here is the code:

input AverageTypes = AverageType.EXPONENTIAL;

input AverageLength6 = 54;
input AverageLength7 = 27;
input AverageLength8 = 18;

def avg1 = MovingAverage(AverageTypes, AveragePrices, AverageLength1) * 34;
def avg2 = MovingAverage(AverageTypes, AveragePrices, AverageLength2) * 21;
def avg3 = MovingAverage(AverageTypes, AveragePrices, AverageLength3) * 13;
def avg4 = MovingAverage(AverageTypes, AveragePrices, AverageLength4) * 8;
def avg5 = MovingAverage(AverageTypes, AveragePrices, AverageLength5) * 5;
def avg6 = MovingAverage(AverageTypes, AveragePrices, AverageLength6) * 3;
def avg7 = MovingAverage(AverageTypes, AveragePrices, AverageLength7) * 2;
def avg8 = MovingAverage(AverageTypes, AveragePrices, AverageLength8);
def typfibavg = (avg1 + avg2 + avg3 + avg4 + avg5 + avg6 + avg7 + avg8) / 87;

plot TypicalFibAverage = typfibavg;

Hey Jdoc, it's used the same way you'd use a moving average. At it's default settings, it pairs well with charts of the index etfs like SPY, QQQ, and DIA.

If you're unsure what moving averages are for, they're basically used as support/resistance and the angle of the average lines help determine the overall direction of price. When price crosses a moving average, it can sometimes be a sign of a change in trend. One moving average crossing another is sometimes a sign of a change in trend as well.

Thank you Jman. Very kind of you to respond as I know time is valuable. Best, Jeff
 
here is my version. I used a butterworth Filter instead of EMA's I assigned a value color to the middle line. Then I added ATR Bands

I just now got around to looking at this. lol. I like it, good job! One thing I don't understand though is why the average is drastically off from mine. Yours seems to move more with the price than mine and sticks closer to it. I like the ATR bands. I'm assuming the cyan color is for uptrend and purple for downtrend?

Edit: I realize now the reason that it's drastically off from mine is probably because you used a butterworth filter instead of EMAs. In any case, it looks good. Shows a lot of "buy-the-dip" opportunities in an uptrend.
