TMA CG - adaptive channel and center of gravity (MT4)

TMA CG blends a Triangular Moving Average channel with a Center of Gravity mean line. You get a dynamic channel for mean reversion and trend continuation so you can time pullbacks, fade exhaustion at bands and confirm breakouts on MetaTrader 4.

What it shows

• Channel: outer TMA bands frame volatility and show stretch from equilibrium.
• Center of Gravity: mean line that price tends to revisit in ranging regimes.
• Slope and flips: channel slope and color flips hint at regime changes.
• Touches and breaks: band touches for fades, clean breaks for continuation.

Trade ideas

1. Trend pullback: in an uptrend buy pullbacks to COG or midline when slope remains positive. Mirror for downtrends.
2. Band fade: fade late pushes into the outer band only with structure break or candle confirmation.
3. Breakout ride: when price rides the band and slope strengthens, trail with the midline.
4. Multi TF: higher TF for bias, lower TF execution on touch plus flip.

Inputs that matter

• TMA length and deviation for the channel.
• COG period or smoothing.
• Applied price and optional filters.
• Alerts for band touches, flips and breaks.

Suggested usage

• M5-M15: intraday mean reversion and pullback timing.
• M30-H4: swing continuation and breakout checks.
• Daily+: regime bias and risk trimming.
