📝 Script Description

This indicator displays short-term moving averages (5, 10, and 20 days) based on the mid-price, calculated as the average of the open and close prices:

Mid Price = (Open + Close) / 2

Rather than using the traditional close-based moving averages, this script offers a more balanced and realistic view of price movement by incorporating both the session’s open and close.

🔍 Key Features:

✅ Short-Term Focused: Uses only the 5, 10, and 20-day moving averages, which are ideal for identifying near-term trends, momentum, and price structure.

✅ Gap-Sensitive: By including the opening price, this indicator captures price gaps that traditional moving averages might ignore.

✅ Reduced Noise: Smoother than close-based MAs, making it easier to assess trend continuity and filter out false breakouts.

✅ Stronger Support/Resistance Alignment: Especially useful for identifying clean, consistent uptrends where price respects short-term moving averages.
