Zero Lag Moving Average
This indicator is a trend detection tool that highlights significant momentum shifts with reduced lag. It uses two smoothed moving averages—fast and medium ZLEMAs—optionally enhanced with a Kalman filter to reduce noise. The indicator defines a bullish trend when the price is above both ZLEMAs, and bearish when it is below both. Rather than signaling every crossover, it focuses on trend changes, triggering buy or sell signals only when the trend flips (e.g., from bearish to bullish) and confirms those shifts with two filters: rising volume (above the 20-bar average) and a strong trend based on the ADX indicator. Visual features include optional candle coloring to reflect trend direction and signal markers (triangles) plotted only during a user-defined trading session. This setup helps traders act only on confirmed, high-quality momentum shifts, reducing false positives in low-volume or ranging markets.
