Overview
The Fast Moving Median functions similarly to a traditional moving average but uses the median value for calculation instead of the mean. The median’s robustness against outliers and extreme values makes it particularly useful in volatile markets.
In addition to price charts, this indicator can be applied to oscillators or other indicators displayed in separate windows. This adaptability broadens its application scope, providing traders with a versatile analytical tool.
Technical Features
-
Efficient Algorithm: Most implementations of median-based indicators rely on sorting an array for each tick, leading to significant performance overhead. This implementation utilizes a uni-directional linked list to eliminate the need for repeated sorting, resulting in faster calculations.
-
Noise Reduction: The median filtering effectively removes outliers, providing smoother signals while preserving key market trends.
-
Versatility: Compatible with price charts and indicators like oscillators, allowing for flexible usage in various trading contexts.
-
Minimal Resource Usage: Designed for low computational impact, ensuring smooth operation even in resource-intensive environments.
Use Cases
-
Price Trend Analysis:
-
Apply the Fast Moving Median to price charts to identify trends with reduced noise and outlier impact.
-
-
Oscillator Smoothing:
-
Use the indicator with oscillators like RSI or MACD to filter noise and focus on significant movements within the indicator range.
-
-
Volatile Market Adaptation:
-
In highly volatile markets, the median provides more reliable signals than the mean, making it ideal for traders needing consistent data interpretation.

Performance Considerations
The implementation of a uni-directional linked list ensures high efficiency by avoiding repetitive sorting. This optimization allows for real-time responsiveness, even when used in strategies involving multiple indicators or symbols. The indicator’s lightweight design makes it suitable for both discretionary trading and automated systems.
Disclaimer
This indicator is intended as a tool for market analysis and should be used in conjunction with other methods. Trading involves risk, and no indicator can guarantee results in all market conditions.
