The closes
The ribbon
The ribbon is stacked up: each shorter average sits above the next longer one, and has for 6 bars.
- The close
- The close is above every average.
- The width
- The ribbon spans 3.98% of the price, widening: the averages are spreading apart, as they do when a trend gains speed.
- The averages now
- 10-bar 2,407.07; 20-bar 2,370.18; 30-bar 2,339.32; 40-bar 2,319.84; 50-bar 2,309.82.
- Read it with care
- Moving averages follow the price; they never lead it. A stacked ribbon confirms a trend that has already run; a tangled one says to wait or trade the range.
The close, the ribbon's width and its state on the last bars. The last bar is marked.

Education only, not investment advice. The answer comes from the numbers you typed in, not from your account or the market. Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it.

When every average agrees
One moving average gives a line; several give a ribbon. In a clean uptrend the shortest average sits on top and each longer one below it, like a fan; in a downtrend the order flips. When the averages cross and tangle, the market has no trend to follow. The width of the ribbon shows how hard the trend is pushing.
Cross two averages with the moving average crossover calculator, see how long the price has stayed on one side with the trend age calculator, measure trend strength with the ADX, and size the trade with the position size calculator.
Not advice. Arithmetic on the closes you type; averages describe past prices, not the next one.
