Linda Raschke 5 SMA Reversal [LuciTech]
How This Indicator Works:
-5 SMA Tracking: Calculates a 5-period simple moving average and plots it on the chart.
-Extension Counter: Counts consecutive bars where price closes above or below the 5 SMA.
-BUY Signals (Green Up Arrow): Triggers when price closes BELOW the 5 SMA after 7+ consecutive closes ABOVE it—indicates a reversal opportunity into dynamic support.
-SELL Signals (Red Down Arrow): Triggers when price closes ABOVE the 5 SMA after 7+ consecutive closes BELOW it—indicates a reversal bounce setup.
-No Repainting: Signals only plot on confirmed bar closes; no repainting issues.
Linda Raschke's Core Principles:
-Extended Run = Imbalance: When price stays above/below the 5 SMA for 7+ bars, it's a one-sided market; mean reversion is likely.
-First Cross = Trigger: The first close back across the SMA after an extension is the reversal signal, not every touch.
-No Setup? No Trade: Without a prior extension or "three-bar balance" filter, a 5 SMA tag is noise. The model requires the prior momentum condition.
-Uptrend Buys: In uptrends, buy dips to the SMA (dynamic support) as long as the weekly/monthly trend is intact.
-Downtrend Fades: In downtrends, treat first rallies above the SMA as bounce fades into lower lows (especially after 14+ bars below).
