The cTrader Smoothed Double Moving Average (SDMA) Indicator is a refined version of the traditional moving average that applies two stages of smoothing to price data. This technique reduces short-term market noise, producing cleaner, more reliable trend signals.
The indicator calculates a first simple moving average (SMA) of the chosen price source, then applies a second SMA to that result, creating a smooth curve that responds gradually to price changes. Alongside this, it plots a standard SMA for crossover comparison.
Traders can use SDMA crossovers to identify possible shifts in market momentum:
While the double-smoothing process improves clarity, it introduces a small delay in responding to fast price movements. For best results, it should be combined with complementary tools such as RSI, MACD, or the Volume Oscillator for confirmation.

Traders can use SDMA crossovers to identify possible shifts in market momentum:
- When SDMA crosses above the standard SMA, it may signal a potential bullish move.
- When SDMA crosses below, it can indicate a possible bearish phase.
