Best MAs Trend Indicator
A NinjaTrader moving-average trend indicator for defining the trend and timing pullback entries, with multi-time-frame support.
Overview
The Best MAs Trend Indicator shows the trend in the current market by displaying two moving averages and filling the area in between. It’s built with flexibility and can show moving averages from higher time frame data inside any lower time frame chart window.
More than just a trend indicator, it gives visual areas for pullback trade entries, which is exactly how Joel uses it, with EMAs providing support and resistance and low-risk trade entries with the trend.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the moving average trend indicator do in NinjaTrader 8?
The Best MAs Trend Indicator plots a fast and a slow moving average on your NinjaTrader 8 chart and fills the area between them to show the current trend. The lines and the fill change color when the trend changes, so you can read direction at a glance. It also gives you visual pullback areas where the moving averages act as support and resistance for entries with the trend.
Is there a moving average crossover indicator with alerts for NinjaTrader?
Yes. The Best MAs Trend Indicator starts a new trend when the fast moving average crosses the slow one, and it can alert you when that happens. Audio alerts play a sound you choose and add an entry to NinjaTrader's Alerts log, and email alerts send the trend direction, chart and instrument. The IntraBar setting chooses whether an alert waits for the bar close.
Which moving averages and periods can I use in the MAs Trend Indicator?
You can choose the moving average type (EMA, SMA or HMA) and set the Fast Period and Slow Period, which default to 20 and 50. You can also adjust the colors, line style, width and opacity of the lines and the fill, so the trend reads clearly on any chart background and fits the way you trade.
Can I show higher time frame moving averages on a lower time frame chart in NinjaTrader?
Yes. With Multi Time Frame turned on, the Best MAs Trend Indicator uses a secondary data feed, and you choose the bar type and bar period for its calculations. That lets you see, for example, the 5 minute trend on a 1 minute chart, without switching windows or opening a second chart.
How do I trade pullbacks with moving averages in NinjaTrader?
Use the trend to pick the side, then wait for price to pull back into the area between the two moving averages. The Best MAs Trend Indicator fills that area so it works as a visual support and resistance zone. That is how Joel uses it: lower risk entries in the direction of the trend, instead of chasing an extended move.
How is it different from a standard NinjaTrader moving average?
A standard moving average draws one line. The Best MAs Trend Indicator draws two, shades the channel between them by trend direction and can alert you when the trend changes. It can also plot higher time frame averages on a lower time frame chart and lets you set the bar type, period and every visual feature, so one indicator covers trend direction and pullback zones.
Does it work with NinjaTrader 8.0.28.0?
Yes. It runs on every NinjaTrader 8.1.x.x release, including the latest, 8.1.8.3, and on NinjaTrader 8.0.28.0, the last 8.0 release. 8.0.28.0 takes its own build: after you buy, request it in your Members Area (NinjaScript Downloads, then NinjaTrader 8.0.28.0) or ask us on live chat and we will set you up.
