Author Message:
The Zero-Lag MA Trend Levels [ChartPrime] indicator combines a Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA) with a standard Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to provide a dynamic view of the market trend. This indicator uses a color-changing cloud to represent shifts in trend momentum and plots key levels when trend reversals are detected. The addition of trend level boxes helps identify significant price zones where market shifts occur, with retest signals aiding in spotting potential continuation or reversal points.
