Indicator: Anchored Moving Average

Anchored Moving Average lets you start the moving average calculation from a specific market moment, using either a manual date and time or a configurable lookback period. From that anchor, the indicator extends the average forward and adds adaptive Fibonacci bands based on the actual price range, making it easier to track how price behaves after a selected event or swing point.

💪 Key strengths:
— Flexible anchoring from a manual date and time or a lookback period from 1 hour to 10 years
— Eight adaptive Fibonacci levels with a built-in 38.2%-62.8% mean reversion zone
— SMA and EMA options with multiple display modes for different levels of chart detail

⭐️ Trader's feedback:
"It provides flexibility that standard MAs do not have - you can use the starting point of a move as the anchor and see how price returns to the average from that point. In testing, it performed stably and without errors. It is especially valuable when building scenarios: where the breakout occurred, where a retest may happen, where to take profit and under what conditions to hold a position."

How much are you actually risking before you place a trade? 📊

Risk management is not just about adding a stop loss. Position size, stop loss distance and potential reward all work together, and changing one can affect the whole setup.
