Updated EMA Crossover Candles

EMA Crossover Candles
This indicator colors your chart candles based on the relationship between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs).
How It Works
Green Candles - When the Fast EMA is above the Slow EMA, indicating bullish momentum
Red Candles - When the Fast EMA is below the Slow EMA, indicating bearish momentum
Settings
Source - The price data used for EMA calculations (default: close)
Fast Length - Period for the fast EMA (default: 5)
Slow Length - Period for the slow EMA (default: 10)
How To Use
This indicator provides a quick visual reference for trend direction. Green candles suggest the short-term trend is bullish, while red candles suggest bearish conditions. This can help you:
Identify trend direction at a glance
Filter trades in the direction of the trend
Spot potential trend changes when candle colors shift
Tips
Adjust the Fast and Slow Length settings to match your trading timeframe
Shorter periods = more responsive but more false signals
Longer periods = smoother but slower to react to trend changes
Consider hiding default candles in Chart Settings for a cleaner look
Note: This indicator is for informational purposes only and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Always use proper risk management and consider combining with other forms of analysis.
