EMA × MOST Cross

The EMA × MOST Cross indicator combines the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with the Moving Stop (MOST) system to identify early trend reversals and confirm trend continuation phases.
MOST acts as a dynamic trailing stop that adapts to price volatility, while EMA provides directional bias and short-term momentum confirmation.
A BUY signal is generated when EMA crosses above the MOST line, indicating a possible bullish reversal or trend continuation.
A SELL signal is triggered when EMA crosses below the MOST line, suggesting bearish continuation or reversal conditions.
The indicator colors bars according to the EMA–MOST relationship to visually represent trend strength:
How to use:
Works best on trending markets and mid-term timeframes (e.g., 1h, 4h, 1D).
Combine it with volume or structure-based confirmations for higher accuracy.
Use the built-in parameters to fine-tune sensitivity:
Updated settings:
Concept:
This script refines the traditional MOST logic by pairing it with an EMA cross mechanism, aiming to filter false reversals and improve entry timing. It’s designed for traders who prefer clear, visual cross-based trend confirmation while maintaining adjustable flexibility for different instruments.

The indicator colors bars according to the EMA–MOST relationship to visually represent trend strength:
- 🟩 Green tones → bullish bias (EMA and price above MOST)
- 🟥 Red tones → bearish bias (EMA and price below MOST)
- 🟦 Aqua → neutral phase or transition zone

Use the built-in parameters to fine-tune sensitivity:
- MOST MA length: adjusts the responsiveness of the MOST line.
- MOST percent: defines the offset distance of the stop bands.
- EMA length: defines the crossover sensitivity.
Updated settings:
- Default MOST Length: 5
- Default MOST Percent: 1.5%
