Advanced MACDThis is a more advanced version of the standard moving average convergence/divergence indicator (MACD). It allows you to change the type of all moving averages (Simple, Exponential, Weighted, Volume-weighted, Triple EMA or a moving average that uses RSI). By for example setting the period to 3/10/16 and use simple moving averages instead of exponential moving averages you can turn it into the modified version of the MACD oscillator (mMACD) described in detail in Appendix B in the book "The Art and Science of Technical Analysis: Market Structure, Price Action and Trading Strategies" by Adam Grimes.
The indicator also allows you to volume weight the indicator (turned on by default), which will turn it into a Volume-Weighted Moving Average Convergence Divergence (VW-MACD) first used by Buff Pelz Dormeier in 2002 and described in detail in his book "Investing with Volume Analysis: Identify, Follow, and Profit from Trends". If you want to weight the oscillator against the true range instead of volume this is also possible. By default, this will be done automatically for assets that do not support volume.

MASelect Crossover StratBasic Crossover Strategy for backtesting purposes, to use with the study+alert script.
Use "Format" to change your settings. Both Moving Averages can be changed individually to swap between EMA (Exponential Moving Average), SMA (Simple Moving Average), WMA (Weighted Moving Average), DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average) and VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average).
"Active Length" should be shorter than "Base Length". As usual with crossover strategies, candle resolution will affect results greatly. Longer=better.
Strategy options are "Long+Short" or "Long Only".
Entries/Exits are based on crossovers/crossunders only, but I encourage you to add further exit conditions and play around with the code.
I made this for beginners on Autoview discord to have something to play with, and added some unnecessary visual changes just to give code examples (changing things like background color, candle color, line color, plotting shapes, different plot styles).
Play around combining different types of Moving Averages of different lengths.
Money Flow Indicator (Chaikin Oscillator) Strategy Indicator plots Money Flow Indicator (Chaikin). This indicator looks
to improve on Larry William's Accumulation Distribution formula that
compared the closing price with the opening price. In the early 1970's,
opening prices for stocks stopped being transmitted by the exchanges.
This made it difficult to calculate Williams' formula. The Chaikin
Oscillator uses the average price of the bar calculated as follows
(High + Low) /2 instead of the Open.
The indicator subtracts a 10 period exponential moving average of the
AccumDist function from a 3 period exponential moving average of the
AccumDist function.

Moving Average Cross Alert, Multi-Timeframe (MTF) (by ChartArt)See when two moving averages cross. With the option to choose between four moving average calculations:
SMA = simple moving average
EMA = exponential moving average (default)
WMA = weighted moving average
Linear = linear regression
The moving averages can be plotted from different time-frames, like e.g. the weekly or 4 hour time-frame using HL2, HLC3 or OHLC4 as price source for the calculation. In addition there is a background color alert and arrows when the moving averages cross each other when the price also rises or falls. And the moving averages are colored depending on their trend direction (if they are trending up or down).
Trade Life Balance Multi EMAThe Trade Life Balance EMA Indicator is a versatile and essential tool for technical analysts and traders. It combines five of the most commonly used Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) into a single indicator, and additionally offers two optional EMAs for advanced analysis. This indicator helps to quickly identify trend direction, dynamic support and resistance levels, and potential entry and exit points.
Important Note:
Moving averages are lagging indicators, meaning they are based on past price data and do not predict future price movements. For a comprehensive market analysis, it is highly recommended to use the TLB EMA indicator in combination with other analytical tools such as volume, price action, and oscillators.
How the TLB EMA Indicator Works
The indicator plots multiple Exponential Moving Averages directly on the price chart. An EMA is a type of moving average that gives more weight and significance to the most recent price data, making it more responsive to price changes than a Simple Moving Average (SMA).
Default Configuration:
The indicator comes pre-configured with five core EMAs that play a crucial role in many trading strategies:
EMA 13 & 20: Often used as short-term trend indicators. Their slope and the distance to the price can indicate the strength of the current momentum.
EMA 50: Considered an important mid-term trend indicator. A price holding above the 50 EMA often suggests a healthy uptrend.
EMA 100: Serves as a mid- to long-term trend filter.
EMA 200: Widely regarded as the decisive line between a long-term bull and bear market.
The color scheme, ranging from light red (fastest EMA) to dark red (slowest EMA), facilitates quick visual identification.
Customization Options
The TLB EMA indicator is fully customizable to suit individual trading strategies and preferences:
EMA Lengths: All five standard EMAs, as well as the two optional ones, can be set to any desired length in the "Inputs" settings.
Optional EMAs: Two additional EMAs are disabled by default. They can be activated via a checkbox to supplement the analysis with other user-defined periods (e.g., for Fibonacci numbers or specific strategies).
Visual Style: In the "Style" tab of the indicator settings, the color, thickness, and visibility of each individual EMA line can be adjusted as desired.
Advantages of the TLB EMA Indicator
All-in-One Solution: Consolidates the most important EMAs into a single indicator, keeping the chart view clean and eliminating the need to add multiple individual indicators.
High Flexibility: With fully customizable lengths and two optional EMAs, the indicator can be configured for any strategy and any market (stocks, forex, crypto, etc.).
Visual Clarity: The pre-configured color coding allows for an intuitive and quick interpretation of the different trend speeds.
Efficiency: Saves time in chart setup and analysis.
Using the TLB EMA Indicator
The TLB EMA can be used in various ways in trading:
Trend Identification: The simplest application is to determine the overall trend. If the price is above the EMAs (especially the 200), it indicates an uptrend. If it is below, the trend is downward.
Dynamic Support and Resistance: In an uptrend, the EMAs often act as dynamic support zones where the price can bounce. In a downtrend, they serve as dynamic resistance zones.
Crossover Signals: The crossing of EMAs can generate trading signals. A "Golden Cross" (e.g., the 50 EMA crosses above the 200 EMA) is considered a bullish signal, while a "Death Cross" (50 EMA crosses below the 200 EMA) is considered a bearish signal.
Please note that the TLB EMA indicator is a tool for analysis and does not guarantee profitable trades. Always use it in conjunction with a solid risk management strategy.
Configurable 3MA with Crossover CloudThis script is a versatile and powerful enhancement of the classic triple moving average setup, designed to provide clear, at-a-glance insights into market trends and momentum shifts. It plots three moving averages on your chart and colors the area between the two shorter-term MAs, creating a visual "cloud" that instantly signals bullish or bearish sentiment.
The core of this indicator is its complete customizability, allowing you to tailor it precisely to your trading strategy and the asset you are analyzing.
Key Features:
Dynamic Crossover Cloud: The space between the first two moving averages is colored to represent momentum:
Green Cloud: Indicates a bullish crossover, where the shorter-term MA is above the medium-term MA.
Red Cloud: Indicates a bearish crossover, where the shorter-term MA is below the medium-term MA.
Complete Customization: Unlike standard MA indicators, every aspect of the three moving averages can be configured independently:
Length: Set the period for each MA.
Type: Choose between a Simple Moving Average (SMA) or an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for each line.
Source: Base the calculation on any price source (close, open, high, low, hl2, etc.).
Individual Visibility Toggles: Clean up your chart by hiding any of the three moving averages directly from the settings panel.
How to Use:
This indicator is ideal for trend-following and crossover strategies.
Identify Momentum: Use the color of the cloud to quickly gauge short-term momentum. A green cloud suggests bullish strength, while a red cloud suggests bearish pressure.
Confirm the Trend: Use the third, long-term moving average (e.g., a 200-period MA) as a macro trend filter. For a higher probability trade, only consider long positions when the price is above the long-term MA and the cloud is green. Conversely, only consider short positions when the price is below the long-term MA and the cloud is red.
Customize for Your Style: Adjust the default settings (13 EMA, 50 SMA, 200 EMA) to fit your preferred timeframes and trading style, whether you're a scalper, day trader, or swing trader.

Options Strategy V2.0📈 Options Strategy V2.0 – Intraday Reversal-Resilient Momentum System
Overview:
This strategy is designed specifically for intraday SPY, TSLA, MSFT, etc. options trading (0DTE or 1DTE), using high-probability signals derived from a confluence of technical indicators: EMA crossovers, RSI thresholds, ATR-based risk control, and volume spikes. The strategy aims to capture strong directional moves while avoiding overtrading, thanks to a built-in cooldown logic and optional time/session filters.
⚙️ Core Concept
The strategy executes trades only in the direction of the prevailing trend, determined by short- and long-term Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). Entry signals are generated when the Relative Strength Index (RSI) confirms momentum in the direction of the trend, and volume spikes suggest institutional activity.
To increase adaptability and user control, it includes a highly customizable parameter set for both long and short entries independently.
📌 Key Features
✅ Trend-Following Logic
Long entries are only allowed when EMA(short) > EMA(long)
Short entries are only allowed when EMA(short) < EMA(long)
✅ RSI Confirmation
Long: Requires RSI crossover above a configurable threshold
Short: Requires RSI crossunder below a configurable threshold
Optional rejection filters: Entry blocked above/below specific RSI extremes
✅ Volume Spike Filter
Confirms institutional participation by comparing current volume to an average multiplied by a user-defined factor.
✅ ATR-Based Risk Management
Both Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) are dynamically calculated using ATR × a multiplier.
TP/SL ratio is fully configurable.
✅ Cooldown Control
After every trade, the system waits for a set number of bars before allowing new entries.
This prevents overtrading and increases signal quality.
Optionally, cooldown is ignored for reversal trades, ensuring the system can react immediately to a confirmed trend change.
✅ Candle Body Filter (Noise Control)
Avoids trades on candles with too small bodies relative to wicks (often noise or indecision candles).
✅ VWAP Confirmation (Optional)
Ensures price is trading above VWAP for long entries, or below for short entries.
✅ Time & Session Filters
Trades only during regular market hours (09:30–16:00 EST).
No-trade zone (e.g., 14:15–15:45 EST) to avoid low-liquidity traps or late-day whipsaws.
✅ End-of-Day Auto Close
All open positions are force-closed at 15:55 EST, protecting against overnight risk (especially relevant for 0DTE options).
📊 Visual Aids
EMA plots show trend direction
VWAP line provides real-time mean-reversion context
Stop Loss and Take Profit lines appear dynamically with each trade
Alerts notify of entry signals and exit triggers
🔧 Customization Panel
Nearly every element of the strategy can be tailored:
EMA lengths (short and long, for both sides)
RSI thresholds and length
ATR length, SL multiplier, and TP/SL ratio
Volume spike sensitivity
Minimum EMA distance filter
Candle body ratio filter
Session restrictions
Cooldown logic (duration + reversal exception)
This makes the strategy extremely versatile, allowing both conservative and aggressive configurations depending on the trader’s profile and the market context.
📌 Example Use Case: SPY Options (0DTE or 1DTE)
This system was designed and tested specifically for SPY and other intraday options trading, where:
Delta is around 0.50 or higher
Trades are short-lived (often 1–5 candles)
You aim to trade 1–3 signals per day, filtering out weak entries
🚫 Important Notes
It is not a scalping strategy; it relies on confirmed breakouts with trend support
No pyramiding or re-entries without cooldown to preserve risk integrity
Should be used with real-time alerts and manual broker execution
📈 Alerts Included
📈 Long Entry Signal
📉 Short Entry Signal
⚠️ Auto-closed all positions at 15:55 EST
✅ Proven Settings – Real Trades + Backtest Results
The current version of the strategy includes the optimal settings I’ve arrived at through extensive backtesting, as well as 3 months of real trading with consistent profitability. These results reflect real-world execution under live market conditions using 0DTE SPY options, with disciplined trade management and risk control.
🧠 Final Thoughts
Options Strategy V2.0 is a robust, highly tunable intraday strategy that blends momentum, trend-following, and volume confirmation. It is ideal for disciplined traders focused on SPY or other 0DTE/1DTE options, and it includes guardrails to reduce false signals and improve execution timing.
Perfect for those who seek precision, flexibility, and risk-defined setups—not blind automation.

Dynamic Ray BandsAbout Dynamic Ray Bands
Dynamic Ray Bands is a volatility-adaptive envelope indicator that adjusts in real time to evolving market conditions. It uses a Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) as its central trend reference, with upper and lower bands scaled according to current volatility measured by the Average True Range (ATR).
This creates a dynamic structure that visually frames price action, helping traders identify areas of potential trend continuation, overextension, or mean reversion.
How It Works
🟡 Centerline (DEMA)
The central yellow line is a Double Exponential Moving Average, which offers a smoother, less laggy trend signal than traditional moving averages. It represents the market’s short- to medium-term “equilibrium.”
🔵 Outer Bands
Plotted at:
Upper Band = DEMA + (ATR × outerMultiplier)
Lower Band = DEMA - (ATR × outerMultiplier)
These bands define the extreme bounds of current volatility. When price breaks above or below them, it can signal strong directional momentum or overbought/oversold conditions, depending on context. They're often used as trend breakout zones or to time exits after extended runs.
🟣 Inner Bands
Plotted closer to the DEMA:
Inner Upper = DEMA + (ATR × innerMultiplier)
Inner Lower = DEMA - (ATR × innerMultiplier)
These are preliminary volatility thresholds, offering early cues for potential expansion or reversal. They may be used for scalping, tight stop zones, or pre-breakout positioning.
🔁 Dynamic Width (Bands are Dynamically Adjusted Per Tick)
The width of both inner and outer bands is based on ATR (Average True Range), which is recalculated in real time. This means:
During high volatility, the bands expand, allowing for wider price fluctuations.
During low volatility, the bands contract, tightening range expectations.
Unlike fixed-width channels or standard Bollinger Bands (which use standard deviation), this per-tick adjustment via ATR enables Dynamic Ray Bands to reduce false signals in choppy markets and remain more reactive during trending conditions.
⚙️ Inputs
DMA Length — Period for the central DEMA.
ATR Length — Lookback used for ATR volatility calculations.
Outer Band Multiplier — Controls sensitivity of extreme bands.
Inner Band Multiplier — Controls proximity of inner bands.
Show Inner Bands — Toggle for plotting the inner zone.
🔔 Alerts
Alert conditions are included for:
Price closing above/below the outer bands (trend momentum or overextension)
Price closing above/below the inner bands (early signs of strength/weakness)
🧭 Use Cases
Breakout detection — Catch price continuation beyond the outer bands.
Volatility filtering — Adjust trade logic based on band width.
Mean reversion — Monitor for snapbacks toward the DEMA after price stretches too far.
Trend guidance — Use band slope and price position to confirm direction.

BTC Transaction Indicator Name: "Bitcoin On-Chain Volume & Dynamic Parabolic Curve Signals"
Purpose:
This indicator is designed for Bitcoin traders and long-term holders. It combines the analysis of Bitcoin's on-chain transaction volume with price action to generate "Whale" and "Bear" signals. Additionally, it features a unique dynamic parabolic curve that acts as a visual support line, adapting its visibility based on price interaction with a key Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
Key Components:
On-Chain Volume Analysis:
Utilizes Estimated Transaction Volume (ETRAV) data from the Bitcoin blockchain.
Calculates fast and slow Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) of this volume.
Identifies volume trends (up/down) and significant volume increases/decreases.
Employs fixed thresholds (2,500,000 for low volume and 25,000,000 for high volume) to define key activity levels, similar to how historical on-chain analysis defined accumulation and distribution zones.
Price Action Analysis:
Calculates fast and slow SMAs of the price.
Detects price trends (up/down), recoveries, and declines based on these price SMAs.
"Whale" and "Bear" Signals:
Whale Signals (Buy-side): Generated when there's an upward volume trend, significant volume increase, and a downward price trend followed by price recovery. These indicate potential accumulation phases.
Bear Signals (Sell-side): Generated when there's a downward volume trend, significant volume decrease, and an upward price trend followed by price decline. These indicate potential distribution phases.
Visuals: Both types of signals are plotted as small, colored circles directly on the price chart, with corresponding text labels ("Whale," "Buy," "Bear," "Sell," "Price Recovering," "Price Declining").
Dynamic Parabolic Curve:
Concept: A green parabolic (exponential) curve that serves as a dynamic visual support line.
Activation: The curve starts drawing automatically only when the price crosses over the EMA 500 (Exponential Moving Average of 500 periods). The curve's starting point is set at a user-defined percentage below the EMA 500 value at that exact crossover point.
Visibility: The curve remains visible and continues its trajectory only as long as the price stays above the EMA 500.
Deactivation: The curve disappears instantly if the price falls below or equals the EMA 500. It will only reappear if the price crosses above the EMA 500 again.
Customization: The curve's steepness (Tasa Crecimiento Curva) and its initial distance from the EMA 500 (Inicio Curva % por debajo de EMA500) are adjustable.
Dynamic Label: A "Parabólico" text label is plotted near the center of the active curve segment, with an adjustable vertical offset to ensure it stays visually appealing below the curve.
What is PLOTTED on the chart:
The small, colored circle signals for Whale/Buy and Bear/Sell activity.
The green dynamic parabolic curve.
What is NOT PLOTTED:
EMA 200, EMA 500 lines (though they are calculated internally for logic).
Raw volume data or volume Moving Averages (these are only used for signal calculation, not plotted).
Ideal for:
Bitcoin traders and investors focused on long-term trends and cycle analysis, who want visual cues for accumulation/distribution phases based on on-chain activity, complemented by a unique, dynamically appearing parabolic support curve.
Important Notes:
Relies on the availability of external on-chain data (QUANDL:BCHAIN) within TradingView.
Functions best on a daily timeframe for optimal on-chain data relevance.
Super MTF Clouds (4x3 Pairs)Overview:
This script is based on Ripster's MTF clouds, which transcends the standard moving average cloud indicator by offering a powerful and deeply customizable Multi-Timeframe (MTF) analysis. Instead of being limited to the moving averages of your current charts from the current timeframe, this tool allows you to project and visualize the trend and key support/resistance zones from up to 4 different timeframes simultaneously. User can input up to 6 different EMA values which will form 3 pairs of EMA clouds, for each of the timeframes.
The primary purpose is to provide traders with immediate confluence. By observing how price interacts with moving average clouds from higher timeframes (e.g., Hourly, Daily, Weekly), you can make more informed decisions on your active trading timeframe (e.g., 10 Minute). It's designed as a complete MTF Cloud toolkit, allowing you to display all necessary MTFs in a single script to build a comprehensive view of the market structure without having to flick to different timeframe to look for cloud positions.
Key features:
Four Independent Multi-Timeframe Slots: Each slot can be assigned any timeframe available on TradingView (e.g., D, W, M, 4H).
Three MA Pairs Per Timeframe: For each timeframe, configure up to three separate MA clouds (e.g., a 9/12 EMA pair, a 20/50 EMA pair, and a 100/200 SMA pair).
Complete Customisation: For every single moving average (24 in total), you can independently control:
MA Type: Choose between EMA or SMA.
Length: Any period you require.
Line Color: Full colour selection.
Line Thickness: Adjust the visual weight of each line.
Cloud Control: For every pair (12 in total), you can set the fill colour and transparency.
How To Use This Script:
This tool is best used for confirmation and context. Here are some practical strategies that one can adopt:
Trend Confluence: Before taking a trade based on a signal on your current timeframe, glance at the higher timeframe clouds. If you see a buy signal on the 15-minute chart and the price is currently trading above a thick, bullish Daily cloud, the probability of that trade succeeding is significantly higher. Conversely, shorting into strong HTF support is a low-probability trade.
Dynamic Support & Resistance: The edges of the higher timeframe clouds often act as powerful, dynamic levels of support and resistance. A pullback to the 4-Hour 50 EMA on your 15-minute chart can be a prime area to look for entries in the direction of the larger trend.
Gauging Market Regimes: Use the toggles in the settings to quickly switch between different views. You can have a "risk-on" view with short-term clouds and a "macro" view with weekly and monthly clouds. This helps you adapt your trading style to the current market conditions.
Key Settings:
1. Global Setting
Source For All MAs: This determines the price data point used for every single moving average calculation.
Default: hl2 (an average of the High and Low of each bar). This gives a smooth midpoint price.
Options: You can change this to Close (the most common method), Open, High, Low, or ohlc4 (an average of the open, high, low, and close), among others.
Recommendation: For most standard trend analysis, the default hl2 is the common choice.
2. The Timeframe Group Structure
The rest of the settings are organized into four identical, collapsible groups: "Timeframe 1 Settings" through "Timeframe 4 Settings". Each group acts as a self-contained control panel for one multi-timeframe view.
Within each timeframe group, you have two master controls:
Enable Timeframe: This is the main power switch for the entire group. Uncheck this box to instantly hide all three clouds and lines associated with this timeframe. This is perfect for quickly decluttering your chart or focusing on a different set of analyses.
Timeframe: This dropdown menu is the heart of the MTF feature. Here, you select the higher timeframe you want to analyse (e.g., 1D for Daily, 1W for Weekly, 4H for 4-Hour). All calculations for the three pairs within this group will be based on the timeframe you select here.
3. Pair-Specific Controls
Inside each timeframe group, there are three sections for "Pair 1", "Pair 2", and "Pair 3". These control each individual moving average cloud.
Enable Pair: Just like the master switch for the timeframe, this checkbox turns a single cloud and its two MA lines on or off.
For each pair, the settings are further broken down:
Moving Average Lines (A and B): These two rows control the two moving averages that form the cloud. 'A' is typically used for the shorter-period MA and 'B' for the longer-period one.
Type (A/B): A dropdown menu to select either EMA (Exponential Moving Average) or SMA (Simple Moving Average). EMAs react more quickly to recent price changes, while SMAs are smoother and react more slowly.
Length (A/B): The lookback period for the moving average (e.g., 21, 50, 200).
Color (A/B): Sets the specific colour of the MA line itself on your chart.
Cloud Fill Settings
Fill Color: This controls the colour of the shaded area (the "cloud") between the two moving average lines. For a consistent look, you can set this to the same colour as your shorter MA line.
Transparency: Controls how see-through the cloud is, on a scale of 0 to 100. 0 is a solid, opaque colour, while 100 is completely invisible. The default of 85 provides a light, "cloud-like" appearance that doesn't obscure the price action.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If anything is not clear please let me know!
Why EMA Isn't What You Think It IsMany new traders adopt the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) believing it's simply a "better Simple Moving Average (SMA)". This common misconception leads to fundamental misunderstandings about how EMA works and when to use it.
EMA and SMA differ at their core. SMA use a window of finite number of data points, giving equal weight to each data point in the calculation period. This makes SMA a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter in signal processing terms. Remember that FIR means that "all that we need is the 'period' number of data points" to calculate the filter value. Anything beyond the given period is not relevant to FIR filters – much like how a security camera with 14-day storage automatically overwrites older footage, making last month's activity completely invisible regardless of how important it might have been.
EMA, however, is an Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter. It uses ALL historical data, with each past price having a diminishing - but never zero - influence on the calculated value. This creates an EMA response that extends infinitely into the past—not just for the last N periods. IIR filters cannot be precise if we give them only a 'period' number of data to work on - they will be off-target significantly due to lack of context, like trying to understand Game of Thrones by watching only the final season and wondering why everyone's so upset about that dragon lady going full pyromaniac.
If we only consider a number of data points equal to the EMA's period, we are capturing no more than 86.5% of the total weight of the EMA calculation. Relying on he period window alone (the warm-up period) will provide only 1 - (1 / e^2) weights, which is approximately 1−0.1353 = 0.8647 = 86.5%. That's like claiming you've read a book when you've skipped the first few chapters – technically, you got most of it, but you probably miss some crucial early context.
▶️ What is period in EMA used for?
What does a period parameter really mean for EMA? When we select a 15-period EMA, we're not selecting a window of 15 data points as with an SMA. Instead, we are using that number to calculate a decay factor (α) that determines how quickly older data loses influence in EMA result. Every trader knows EMA calculation: α = 1 / (1+period) – or at least every trader claims to know this while secretly checking the formula when they need it.
Thinking in terms of "period" seriously restricts EMA. The α parameter can be - should be! - any value between 0.0 and 1.0, offering infinite tuning possibilities of the indicator. When we limit ourselves to whole-number periods that we use in FIR indicators, we can only access a small subset of possible IIR calculations – it's like having access to the entire RGB color spectrum with 16.7 million possible colors but stubbornly sticking to the 8 basic crayons in a child's first art set because the coloring book only mentioned those by name.
For example:
Period 10 → alpha = 0.1818
Period 11 → alpha = 0.1667
What about wanting an alpha of 0.17, which might yield superior returns in your strategy that uses EMA? No whole-number period can provide this! Direct α parameterization offers more precision, much like how an analog tuner lets you find the perfect radio frequency while digital presets force you to choose only from predetermined stations, potentially missing the clearest signal sitting right between channels.
Sidenote: the choice of α = 1 / (1+period) is just a convention from 1970s, probably started by J. Welles Wilder, who popularized the use of the 14-day EMA. It was designed to create an approximate equivalence between EMA and SMA over the same number of periods, even thought SMA needs a period window (as it is FIR filter) and EMA doesn't. In reality, the decay factor α in EMA should be allowed any valye between 0.0 and 1.0, not just some discrete values derived from an integer-based period! Algorithmic systems should find the best α decay for EMA directly, allowing the system to fine-tune at will and not through conversion of integer period to float α decay – though this might put a few traditionalist traders into early retirement. Well, to prevent that, most traditionalist implementations of EMA only use period and no alpha at all. Heaven forbid we disturb people who print their charts on paper, draw trendlines with rulers, and insist the market "feels different" since computers do algotrading!
▶️ Calculating EMAs Efficiently
The standard textbook formula for EMA is:
EMA = CurrentPrice × alpha + PreviousEMA × (1 - alpha)
But did you know that a more efficient version exists, once you apply a tiny bit of high school algebra:
EMA = alpha × (CurrentPrice - PreviousEMA) + PreviousEMA
The first one requires three operations: 2 multiplications + 1 addition. The second one also requires three ops: 1 multiplication + 1 addition + 1 subtraction.
That's pathetic, you say? Not worth implementing? In most computational models, multiplications cost much more than additions/subtractions – much like how ordering dessert costs more than asking for a water refill at restaurants.
Relative CPU cost of float operations :
Addition/Subtraction: ~1 cycle
Multiplication: ~5 cycles (depending on precision and architecture)
Now you see the difference? 2 * 5 + 1 = 11 against 5 + 1 + 1 = 7. That is ≈ 36.36% efficiency gain just by swapping formulas around! And making your high school math teacher proud enough to finally put your test on the refrigerator.
▶️ The Warmup Problem: how to start the EMA sequence right
How do we calculate the first EMA value when there's no previous EMA available? Let's see some possible options used throughout the history:
Start with zero : EMA(0) = 0. This creates stupidly large distortion until enough bars pass for the horrible effect to diminish – like starting a trading account with zero balance but backdating a year of missed trades, then watching your balance struggle to climb out of a phantom debt for months.
Start with first price : EMA(0) = first price. This is better than starting with zero, but still causes initial distortion that will be extra-bad if the first price is an outlier – like forming your entire opinion of a stock based solely on its IPO day price, then wondering why your model is tanking for weeks afterward.
Use SMA for warmup : This is the tradition from the pencil-and-paper era of technical analysis – when calculators were luxury items and "algorithmic trading" meant your broker had neat handwriting. We first calculate an SMA over the initial period, then kickstart the EMA with this average value. It's widely used due to tradition, not merit, creating a mathematical Frankenstein that uses an FIR filter (SMA) during the initial period before abruptly switching to an IIR filter (EMA). This methodology is so aesthetically offensive (abrupt kink on the transition from SMA to EMA) that charting platforms hide these early values entirely, pretending EMA simply doesn't exist until the warmup period passes – the technical analysis equivalent of sweeping dust under the rug.
Use WMA for warmup : This one was never popular because it is harder to calculate with a pencil - compared to using simple SMA for warmup. Weighted Moving Average provides a much better approximation of a starting value as its linear descending profile is much closer to the EMA's decay profile.
These methods all share one problem: they produce inaccurate initial values that traders often hide or discard, much like how hedge funds conveniently report awesome performance "since strategy inception" only after their disastrous first quarter has been surgically removed from the track record.
▶️ A Better Way to start EMA: Decaying compensation
Think of it this way: An ideal EMA uses an infinite history of prices, but we only have data starting from a specific point. This creates a problem - our EMA starts with an incorrect assumption that all previous prices were all zero, all close, or all average – like trying to write someone's biography but only having information about their life since last Tuesday.
But there is a better way. It requires more than high school math comprehension and is more computationally intensive, but is mathematically correct and numerically stable. This approach involves compensating calculated EMA values for the "phantom data" that would have existed before our first price point.
Here's how phantom data compensation works:
We start our normal EMA calculation:
EMA_today = EMA_yesterday + α × (Price_today - EMA_yesterday)
But we add a correction factor that adjusts for the missing history:
Correction = 1 at the start
Correction = Correction × (1-α) after each calculation
We then apply this correction:
True_EMA = Raw_EMA / (1-Correction)
This correction factor starts at 1 (full compensation effect) and gets exponentially smaller with each new price bar. After enough data points, the correction becomes so small (i.e., below 0.0000000001) that we can stop applying it as it is no longer relevant.
Let's see how this works in practice:
For the first price bar:
Raw_EMA = 0
Correction = 1
True_EMA = Price (since 0 ÷ (1-1) is undefined, we use the first price)
For the second price bar:
Raw_EMA = α × (Price_2 - 0) + 0 = α × Price_2
Correction = 1 × (1-α) = (1-α)
True_EMA = α × Price_2 ÷ (1-(1-α)) = Price_2
For the third price bar:
Raw_EMA updates using the standard formula
Correction = (1-α) × (1-α) = (1-α)²
True_EMA = Raw_EMA ÷ (1-(1-α)²)
With each new price, the correction factor shrinks exponentially. After about -log₁₀(1e-10)/log₁₀(1-α) bars, the correction becomes negligible, and our EMA calculation matches what we would get if we had infinite historical data.
This approach provides accurate EMA values from the very first calculation. There's no need to use SMA for warmup or discard early values before output converges - EMA is mathematically correct from first value, ready to party without the awkward warmup phase.
Here is Pine Script 6 implementation of EMA that can take alpha parameter directly (or period if desired), returns valid values from the start, is resilient to dirty input values, uses decaying compensator instead of SMA, and uses the least amount of computational cycles possible.
// Enhanced EMA function with proper initialization and efficient calculation
ema(series float source, simple int period=0, simple float alpha=0)=>
// Input validation - one of alpha or period must be provided
if alpha<=0 and period<=0
runtime.error("Alpha or period must be provided")
// Calculate alpha from period if alpha not directly specified
float a = alpha > 0 ? alpha : 2.0 / math.max(period, 1)
// Initialize variables for EMA calculation
var float ema = na // Stores raw EMA value
var float result = na // Stores final corrected EMA
var float e = 1.0 // Decay compensation factor
var bool warmup = true // Flag for warmup phase
if not na(source)
if na(ema)
// First value case - initialize EMA to zero
// (we'll correct this immediately with the compensation)
ema := 0
result := source
else
// Standard EMA calculation (optimized formula)
ema := a * (source - ema) + ema
if warmup
// During warmup phase, apply decay compensation
e *= (1-a) // Update decay factor
float c = 1.0 / (1.0 - e) // Calculate correction multiplier
result := c * ema // Apply correction
// Stop warmup phase when correction becomes negligible
if e <= 1e-10
warmup := false
else
// After warmup, EMA operates without correction
result := ema
result // Return the properly compensated EMA value
▶️ CONCLUSION
EMA isn't just a "better SMA"—it is a fundamentally different tool, like how a submarine differs from a sailboat – both float, but the similarities end there. EMA responds to inputs differently, weighs historical data differently, and requires different initialization techniques.
By understanding these differences, traders can make more informed decisions about when and how to use EMA in trading strategies. And as EMA is embedded in so many other complex and compound indicators and strategies, if system uses tainted and inferior EMA calculatiomn, it is doing a disservice to all derivative indicators too – like building a skyscraper on a foundation of Jell-O.
The next time you add an EMA to your chart, remember: you're not just looking at a "faster moving average." You're using an INFINITE IMPULSE RESPONSE filter that carries the echo of all previous price actions, properly weighted to help make better trading decisions.
EMA done right might significantly improve the quality of all signals, strategies, and trades that rely on EMA somewhere deep in its algorithmic bowels – proving once again that math skills are indeed useful after high school, no matter what your guidance counselor told you.
C&B Auto MK5C&B Auto MK5.2ema BullBear
Overview
The C&B Auto MK5.2ema BullBear is a versatile Pine Script indicator designed to help traders identify bullish and bearish market conditions across various timeframes. It combines Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), Relative Strength Index (RSI), Average True Range (ATR), and customizable time filters to generate actionable signals. The indicator overlays on the price chart, displaying EMAs, a dynamic cloud, scaled RSI levels, bull/bear signals, and market condition labels, making it suitable for swing trading, day trading, or scalping in trending or volatile markets.
What It Does
This indicator generates bull and bear signals based on the interaction of two EMAs, filtered by RSI thresholds, ATR-based volatility, a 50/200 EMA trend filter, and user-defined time windows. It adapts to market volatility by adjusting EMA lengths and RSI thresholds. A dynamic cloud highlights trend direction or neutral zones, with candlestick coloring in neutral conditions. Market condition labels (current and historical) provide real-time trend and volatility context, displayed above the chart.
How It Works
The indicator uses the following components:
EMAs: Two EMAs (short and long) are calculated on a user-selected timeframe (1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes). Their crossover or crossunder triggers potential bull/bear signals. EMA lengths adjust based on volatility (e.g., 10/20 for volatile markets, 5/10 for non-volatile).
Dynamic Cloud: The area between the EMAs forms a cloud, colored green for bullish trends, red for bearish trends, or a user-defined color (default yellow) for neutral zones (when EMAs are close, determined by an ATR-based threshold). Users can widen the cloud for visibility.
RSI Filter: RSI is scaled to price levels and plotted on the chart (optional). Signals are filtered to ensure RSI is within volatility-adjusted bull/bear thresholds and not in overbought/oversold zones.
ATR Volatility Filter: An optional filter ensures signals occur during sufficient volatility (ATR(14) > SMA(ATR, 20)).
50/200 EMA Trend Filter: An optional filter restricts bull signals to bullish trends (50 EMA > 200 EMA) and bear signals to bearish trends (50 EMA < 200 EMA).
Time Filter: Signals are restricted to a user-defined UTC time window (default 9:00–15:00), aligning with active trading sessions.
Market Condition Labels: Labels above the chart display the current trend (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) and optionally volatility (e.g., “Bullish Volatile”). Up to two historical labels persist for a user-defined number of bars (default 5) to show recent trend changes.
Visual Aids: Bull signals appear as green triangles/labels below the bar, bear signals as red triangles/labels above. Candlesticks in neutral zones are colored (default yellow).
The indicator ensures compatibility with standard chart types (e.g., candlestick or bar charts) to produce realistic signals, avoiding non-standard types like Heikin Ashi or Renko.

ATR Strength Index~~~~~~~ATRRSI~~~~~~~~~
Understanding the ATR Strength IndexThe "ATR Strength Index" (ATR SI) is a custom technical indicator derived by applying the calculation methodology of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to the values of the Average True Range (ATR).
While the standard RSI measures the momentum of price changes, the ATR SI measures the momentum of volatility itself, as represented by the ATR.It is important to note that this is not a standard, widely recognised indicator like the traditional RSI or ATR.
It's a custom construction designed to provide a different perspective on market dynamics – specifically, the speed and magnitude of changes in volatility.
How it is Calculated
The calculation of the ATR Strength Index follows the same steps as the standard RSI, but the input data is the ATR value for each period, rather than the price.Let ATRi be the Average True Range value for the current period i.Let ATRi−1 be the Average True Range value for the previous period i−1.Calculate the period-over-period change in ATR:ΔATRi=ATRi−ATRi−1Separate ATR Gains and ATR Losses:If ΔATRi>0, then ATR,Gaini=ΔATRi and ATR,Lossi=0.If ΔATRi<0, then ATR,Gaini=0 and ATR,Lossi=∣ΔATRi∣.If ΔATRi=0, then ATR,Gaini=0 and ATR,Lossi=0.Calculate the Smoothed Average ATR Gain and Average ATR Loss over a specified lookback period (let's call this the "RSI Length" or n).
This typically uses a smoothing method similar to Wilder's original RSI calculation (a modified moving average or exponential moving average).Average,ATR,Gainn=Smoothed Average of ATR,Gain over n periodsAverage,ATR,Lossn=Smoothed Average of ATR,Loss over n periodsCalculate the ATR Relative Strength (ATR RS):ATR,RSn=Average,ATR,LossnAverage,ATR,GainnCalculate the ATR Strength Index:ATR,SIn=100−1+ATR,RSn100The resulting index oscillates between 0 and 100, just like the standard RSI.
How to Use It
Interpreting the ATR Strength Index focuses on the momentum of volatility rather than price momentum:High Values (e.g., above 70): Indicate that volatility (as measured by ATR) has been increasing rapidly over the chosen period.
This could suggest a market transitioning from a period of low volatility to high volatility, potentially preceding or accompanying strong directional price moves or increased choppiness.Low Values (e.g., below 30): Indicate that volatility has been decreasing rapidly.
This could suggest a market transitioning from high volatility to low volatility, potentially entering a period of consolidation or ranging price action.Midline (50): Represents a balance between increasing and decreasing volatility momentum.Divergence: You could potentially look for divergence between the ATR value itself and the ATR Strength Index. For example, if ATR is making higher highs but the ATR SI is making lower highs, it might suggest that while volatility is still increasing, the speed of that increase is slowing down. The interpretation and reliability of such divergence would need careful testing.
This indicator is best used as a supplementary tool to gain insight into the underlying volatility dynamics of the market, rather than as a primary signal generator for price direction.
It can help in understanding the current market environment – whether volatility is picking up or dying down – which can inform the suitability of different trading strategies (e.g., trend-following strategies might be more effective when volatility momentum is high, while range-bound strategies might suit periods of low volatility momentum).
Uniqueness
The ATR Strength Index is unique because it applies a momentum oscillator's logic (RSI) to a volatility indicator's output (ATR).Standard RSI: Focuses on the directional force of price movements.Standard ATR: Measures the amount of volatility, regardless of direction.ATR Strength Index: Measures the speed and direction of change in volatility.
It provides a perspective that neither the standard RSI nor ATR offers on their own – a quantified measure of how quickly the market's choppiness or range is expanding or contracting. This can be valuable for traders who incorporate volatility analysis into their decision-making process.In summary, the ATR Strength Index is a custom indicator that adapts the RSI calculation to measure the momentum of volatility, offering a unique view on market dynamics by showing how rapidly volatility is increasing or decreasing.

Multi-Fibonacci Trend Average[FibonacciFlux]Multi-Fibonacci Trend Average (MFTA): An Institutional-Grade Trend Confluence Indicator for Discerning Market Participants
My original indicator/Strategy:
Engineered for the sophisticated demands of institutional and advanced traders, the Multi-Fibonacci Trend Average (MFTA) indicator represents a paradigm shift in technical analysis. This meticulously crafted tool is designed to furnish high-definition trend signals within the complexities of modern financial markets. Anchored in the rigorous principles of Fibonacci ratios and augmented by advanced averaging methodologies, MFTA delivers a granular perspective on trend dynamics. Its integration of Multi-Timeframe (MTF) filters provides unparalleled signal robustness, empowering strategic decision-making with a heightened degree of confidence.

MFTA indicator on BTCUSDT 15min chart without MTF filters. While capturing more potential trading opportunities, it also generates a higher frequency of signals, including potential false positives.
Core Innovation: Proprietary Fibonacci-Enhanced Supertrend Averaging Engine
The MFTA indicator’s core innovation lies in its proprietary implementation of Supertrend analysis, strategically fortified by Fibonacci ratios to construct a truly dynamic volatility envelope. Departing from conventional Supertrend methodologies, MFTA autonomously computes not one, but three distinct Supertrend lines. Each of these lines is uniquely parameterized by a specific Fibonacci factor: 0.618 (Weak), 1.618 (Medium/Golden Ratio), and 2.618 (Strong/Extended Fibonacci).
// Fibonacci-based factors for multiple Supertrend calculations
factor1 = input.float(0.618, 'Factor 1 (Weak/Fibonacci)', minval=0.01, step=0.01, tooltip='Factor 1 (Weak/Fibonacci)', group="Fibonacci Supertrend")
factor2 = input.float(1.618, 'Factor 2 (Medium/Golden Ratio)', minval=0.01, step=0.01, tooltip='Factor 2 (Medium/Golden Ratio)', group="Fibonacci Supertrend")
factor3 = input.float(2.618, 'Factor 3 (Strong/Extended Fib)', minval=0.01, step=0.01, tooltip='Factor 3 (Strong/Extended Fib)', group="Fibonacci Supertrend")
This multi-faceted architecture adeptly captures a spectrum of market volatility sensitivities, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of prevailing conditions. Subsequently, the indicator algorithmically synthesizes these disparate Supertrend lines through arithmetic averaging. To achieve optimal signal fidelity and mitigate inherent market noise, this composite average is further refined utilizing an Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
// Calculate average of the three supertends and a smoothed version
superlength = input.int(21, 'Smoothing Length', tooltip='Smoothing Length for Average Supertrend', group="Fibonacci Supertrend")
average_trend = (supertrend1 + supertrend2 + supertrend3) / 3
smoothed_trend = ta.ema(average_trend, superlength)
The resultant ‘Smoothed Trend’ line emerges as a remarkably responsive yet stable trend demarcation, offering demonstrably superior clarity and precision compared to singular Supertrend implementations, particularly within the turbulent dynamics of high-volatility markets.
Elevated Signal Confluence: Integrated Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Validation Suite
MFTA transcends the limitations of conventional trend indicators by incorporating an advanced suite of three independent MTF filters: RSI, MACD, and Volume. These filters function as sophisticated validation protocols, rigorously ensuring that only signals exhibiting a confluence of high-probability factors are brought to the forefront.
1. Granular Lower Timeframe RSI Momentum Filter
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) filter, computed from a user-defined lower timeframe, furnishes critical momentum-based signal validation. By meticulously monitoring RSI dynamics on an accelerated timeframe, traders gain the capacity to evaluate underlying momentum strength with precision, prior to committing to signal execution on the primary chart timeframe.
// --- Lower Timeframe RSI Filter ---
ltf_rsi_filter_enable = input.bool(false, title="Enable RSI Filter", group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Use RSI from lower timeframe as a filter")
ltf_rsi_timeframe = input.timeframe("1", title="RSI Timeframe", group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Timeframe for RSI calculation")
ltf_rsi_length = input.int(14, title="RSI Length", minval=1, group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Length for RSI calculation")
ltf_rsi_threshold = input.int(30, title="RSI Threshold", minval=0, maxval=100, group="MTF Filters", tooltip="RSI value threshold for filtering signals")
2. Convergent Lower Timeframe MACD Trend-Momentum Filter
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) filter, also calculated on a lower timeframe basis, introduces a critical layer of trend-momentum convergence confirmation. The bullish signal configuration rigorously mandates that the MACD line be definitively positioned above the Signal line on the designated lower timeframe. This stringent condition ensures a robust indication of converging momentum that aligns synergistically with the prevailing trend identified on the primary timeframe.
// --- Lower Timeframe MACD Filter ---
ltf_macd_filter_enable = input.bool(false, title="Enable MACD Filter", group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Use MACD from lower timeframe as a filter")
ltf_macd_timeframe = input.timeframe("1", title="MACD Timeframe", group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Timeframe for MACD calculation")
ltf_macd_fast_length = input.int(12, title="MACD Fast Length", minval=1, group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Fast EMA length for MACD")
ltf_macd_slow_length = input.int(26, title="MACD Slow Length", minval=1, group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Slow EMA length for MACD")
ltf_macd_signal_length = input.int(9, title="MACD Signal Length", minval=1, group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Signal SMA length for MACD")
3. Definitive Volume Confirmation Filter
The Volume Filter functions as an indispensable arbiter of trade conviction. By establishing a dynamic volume threshold, defined as a percentage relative to the average volume over a user-specified lookback period, traders can effectively ensure that all generated signals are rigorously validated by demonstrably increased trading activity. This pivotal validation step signifies robust market participation, substantially diminishing the potential for spurious or false breakout signals.
// --- Volume Filter ---
volume_filter_enable = input.bool(false, title="Enable Volume Filter", group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Use volume level as a filter")
volume_threshold_percent = input.int(title="Volume Threshold (%)", defval=150, minval=100, group="MTF Filters", tooltip="Minimum volume percentage compared to average volume to allow signal (100% = average)")
These meticulously engineered filters operate in synergistic confluence, requiring all enabled filters to definitively satisfy their pre-defined conditions before a Buy or Sell signal is generated. This stringent multi-layered validation process drastically minimizes the incidence of false positive signals, thereby significantly enhancing entry precision and overall signal reliability.
Intuitive Visual Architecture & Actionable Intelligence
MFTA provides a demonstrably intuitive and visually rich charting environment, meticulously delineating trend direction and momentum through precisely color-coded plots:
Average Supertrend: Thin line, green/red for uptrend/downtrend, immediate directional bias.
Smoothed Supertrend: Bold line, teal/purple for uptrend/downtrend, cleaner, institutionally robust trend.
Dynamic Trend Fill: Green/red fill between Supertrends quantifies trend strength and momentum.
Adaptive Background Coloring: Light green/red background mirrors Smoothed Supertrend direction, holistic trend perspective.
Precision Buy/Sell Signals: ‘BUY’/‘SELL’ labels appear on chart when trend touch and MTF filter confluence are satisfied, facilitating high-conviction trade action.
MFTA indicator applied to BTCUSDT 4-hour chart, showcasing its effectiveness on higher timeframes. The Smoothed Length parameter is increased to 200 for enhanced smoothness on this timeframe, coupled with 1min RSI and Volume filters for signal refinement. This illustrates the indicator's adaptability across different timeframes and market conditions.
Strategic Applications for Institutional Mandates
MFTA’s sophisticated design provides distinct advantages for advanced trading operations and institutional investment mandates. Key strategic applications include:

Timeframe Flexibility: The indicator supports the following timeframes:
15-minute: Ideal for short-term traders and scalpers.
30-minute: For intraday trading with a slightly longer perspective.
1-hour: Suitable for swing traders and those who prefer a more medium-term view.
Daily: Great for longer-term trend-following strategies.
Interactive and User-Friendly: You can toggle the visibility of each EMA on each timeframe, allowing you to choose exactly which EMAs you wish to display, depending on your trading strategy.
Color-Coded for Clarity: The script uses distinct colors for each EMA on the chart:
Blue: EMA1
Green: EMA2
Red: EMA3
Purple: EMA4
Line Width Customization: Each plotted EMA line has a customizable width for better visual clarity.
Use Case:
Traders who use multiple timeframes for analysis (e.g., those using the "multi-timeframe analysis" technique) will find this script particularly useful. For example, a trader may look at the 15-minute chart to catch short-term movements, the 30-minute chart for intraday trends, the 1-hour chart for swing positions, and the Daily chart for identifying the overarching market trend. The script enables them to view the EMAs for all these timeframes in one glance without having to manually switch between them.
By observing the relationships between EMAs across multiple timeframes, traders can gain valuable insights into market conditions such as:
Crossovers: When a shorter-term EMA crosses above or below a longer-term EMA, it can signal a potential trend reversal or continuation.
Trend Strength: Multiple EMAs in alignment across different timeframes can indicate strong trend strength.
Support and Resistance: EMAs can act as dynamic support and resistance levels, guiding traders on price action levels to watch for potential price reversals.
Instructions:
Enable/Disable EMAs: Toggle on or off the EMAs for each timeframe (15-min, 30-min, 1-hour, Daily) using the script’s settings.
Adjust EMA Lengths: Change the default lengths for each EMA to match your preferred settings for different timeframes.
Monitor Key Levels: Watch how price interacts with the plotted EMAs to spot potential trading signals based on your strategy.
This indicator is designed to enhance your multi-timeframe analysis and help make more informed, data-driven trading decisions.
Jumbalika BandsThis indicator is designed using several common technical analysis tools: Bollinger Bands, Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), and the Parabolic SAR. I'll walk you through each section to explain how it works and how you can use it:
1. Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands are used to measure volatility and overbought/oversold conditions. It consists of three lines:
Basis (Middle Line): A simple moving average (SMA) of the price over a defined period (in this case, 20 periods).
Upper Band: The basis plus a certain number of standard deviations. It represents the upper boundary of expected price movement.
Lower Band: The basis minus the same number of standard deviations. It represents the lower boundary of expected price movement.
Interpretation:
Overbought: If the price moves above the upper band, it could signal that the asset is overbought.
Oversold: If the price moves below the lower band, it could signal that the asset is oversold.
Volatility: A wider band indicates higher volatility, and a narrower band indicates lower volatility.
2. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)
The indicator plots four different EMAs:
9-period EMA: This is a short-term trend indicator.
20-period EMA on Close: This is another medium-term trend indicator, based on the close price.
20-period EMA on High: A variation of the 20-period EMA, but based on the high prices.
20-period EMA on Low: A variation of the 20-period EMA, but based on the low prices.
Interpretation:
9 EMA: A faster-moving average that responds quicker to price changes. It can be used to identify short-term trends.
20 EMA: A slower-moving average that reacts more gradually to price changes. It helps identify the broader trend.
High/Low EMAs: These give additional insights into the extremes of price action, which can help identify possible support or resistance levels.
Trading signals (common usage):
Crossover: When a shorter EMA (like the 9 EMA) crosses above a longer EMA (like the 20 EMA), it could be a bullish signal. When it crosses below, it could be a bearish signal.
3. Parabolic SAR
The Parabolic SAR is a trend-following indicator that is used to identify potential price reversals. The Parabolic SAR is plotted as a series of dots either above or below the price, depending on the trend:
Below the price: The trend is up (bullish).
Above the price: The trend is down (bearish)
4. Background Coloring (Optional)
The background will change color when the price crosses the Bollinger Bands:
Green background when the price is above the upper Bollinger Band.
Red background when the price is below the lower Bollinger Band.
Adjust the values for Bollinger Bands, EMAs, and Parabolic SAR directly in the indicator settings to suit your trading preferences.
Bollinger Bands: If the price is above the upper band, it might indicate an overbought condition, while if it's below the lower band, it might indicate an oversold condition.
EMAs: The 9 EMA is often used to track short-term trends, while the 20-period EMAs (on the close, high, and low) help analyze the broader market trend.
Parabolic SAR: The Parabolic SAR is often used to identify trend reversals. If the SAR is below the price, the trend is up, and if it's above the price, the trend is down.
Background Color: The background coloring helps visually highlight potential market conditions when the price breaks out of the Bollinger Bands.
Example Use Case:
Decide the trend based on the parabolic SAR, when the bar touches the upper or lower Bollinger take a short or long position based on the price action using EMAs.
Buy Signal Forex & Crypto v0 ImprovedPurpose of the Script:
This script is designed to generate buy and sell signals for trading Forex and cryptocurrencies by analyzing price trends using exponential moving averages (EMAs), volatility, and volume filters. The signals are displayed as arrows on the chart.
What the Script Does
Input Settings:
The script allows the user to configure various settings, such as the lengths of EMAs, a higher timeframe for trend confirmation, and thresholds for volume and volatility (ATR - Average True Range).
Key settings:
5 EMA Length – Length of the short-term EMA.
13 EMA Length – Length of the medium-term EMA.
26 EMA Length – Length of the long-term EMA.
21 EMA Length – Used for trend confirmation on a higher timeframe.
Higher Timeframe – Lets you select a timeframe (e.g., daily) for confirming the overall trend.
ATR Threshold – Filters out signals when the market's volatility is too low.
Volume Filter – Ensures sufficient trading activity before generating signals.
Calculating EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages):
Four EMAs are calculated:
ema5 (short-term), ema13 (medium-term), ema26 (long-term), and ema21 (higher timeframe confirmation).
These EMAs help determine price trends and crossovers, which are critical for identifying buy and sell opportunities.
Trend Confirmation Using a Higher Timeframe:
The 21 EMA on the higher timeframe (e.g., daily) is used to confirm the overall direction of the market.
Defining Signal Conditions:
Buy Signal:
A buy signal is generated when:
ema5 crosses above ema13 (indicating a bullish trend).
ema5 crosses above ema26 (stronger bullish confirmation).
The closing price is above ema5, ema13, ema26, and the 21 EMA on the higher timeframe.
The market's volatility (ATR) is above the defined threshold.
The volume meets the conditions or volume filtering is disabled.
Sell Signal:
A sell signal is generated when:
ema5 crosses below ema13 (indicating a bearish trend).
ema5 crosses below ema26 (stronger bearish confirmation).
The closing price is below ema5, ema13, ema26, and the 21 EMA on the higher timeframe.
The market's volatility (ATR) is above the defined threshold.
The volume meets the conditions or volume filtering is disabled.
Volume Filtering:
Ensures there’s enough trading activity by comparing the current volume to a 20-period moving average of volume.
Persistent Variables:
These variables (crossed13 and crossed13Sell) help track whether the short-term EMA (ema5) has crossed the medium-term EMA (ema13). This prevents false or repeated signals.
Displaying Signals on the Chart:
Buy signals are displayed as green upward arrows below the price.
Sell signals are displayed as red downward arrows above the price.
How It Helps Traders:
This script provides visual cues for potential entry and exit points by combining moving average crossovers, volatility, volume, and higher timeframe trend confirmation. It works well for trending markets and ensures signals are filtered for stronger conditions to reduce noise.

Refined SMA/EMA Crossover with Ichimoku and 200 SMA FilterYour **Refined SMA/EMA Crossover with Ichimoku and 200 SMA Filter** strategy is a multi-faceted technical trading strategy that combines several key technical indicators to refine entry and exit points for trades. Here's a breakdown of the components and how they work together:
### 1. **SMA/EMA Crossover**
- **Simple Moving Average (SMA) & Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Crossover**:
- The core idea behind the crossover strategy is to use the relationship between two moving averages to generate buy or sell signals.
- **SMA** (Simple Moving Average) gives an average of past prices over a set period.
- **EMA** (Exponential Moving Average) places more weight on recent prices, making it more responsive to price movements.
- A **bullish crossover** occurs when a shorter period moving average (such as a 50-period EMA) crosses above a longer period moving average (such as a 200-period SMA), signaling a potential buy.
- A **bearish crossover** occurs when a shorter period moving average crosses below the longer period moving average, signaling a potential sell.
### 2. **Ichimoku Cloud**
- The **Ichimoku Cloud** is a versatile indicator that provides insight into trend direction, support and resistance levels, and momentum.
- **Cloud (Kumo)**: The space between the Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B lines. It helps identify whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or consolidation.
- **Tenkan-sen** (Conversion Line) and **Kijun-sen** (Base Line): These lines are used for additional confirmation of trend direction.
- **Chikou Span**: A lagging line that is used to confirm the trend.
- The general trading rules based on the Ichimoku Cloud are:
- **Bullish Signal**: When the price is above the cloud and the Tenkan-sen crosses above the Kijun-sen.
- **Bearish Signal**: When the price is below the cloud and the Tenkan-sen crosses below the Kijun-sen.
### 3. **200 SMA Filter**
- The **200 SMA Filter** serves as a long-term trend filter.
- When the price is **above the 200 SMA**, it signals a long-term bullish trend, and you only look for buying opportunities.
- When the price is **below the 200 SMA**, it signals a long-term bearish trend, and you only look for selling opportunities.
- This filter helps to avoid counter-trend trades, aligning your positions with the broader market trend.
### **How the Strategy Works Together**
- **Trade Setup (Long Position)**
1. The **200 SMA Filter** must confirm an **uptrend** by ensuring that the price is above the 200 SMA.
2. A **bullish crossover** (e.g., the 50 EMA crossing above the 200 SMA) occurs.
3. **Ichimoku Cloud** confirms a bullish trend, with the price above the cloud and the Tenkan-sen crossing above the Kijun-sen.
4. You enter a **long trade** with this confluence of signals.
- **Trade Setup (Short Position)**
1. The **200 SMA Filter** must confirm a **downtrend** by ensuring the price is below the 200 SMA.
2. A **bearish crossover** (e.g., the 50 EMA crossing below the 200 SMA) occurs.
3. **Ichimoku Cloud** confirms a bearish trend, with the price below the cloud and the Tenkan-sen crossing below the Kijun-sen.
4. You enter a **short trade** with this confluence of signals.
### **Exit Strategy**
- Exits can be determined based on any of the following:
- **SMA/EMA crossover reversal**: Exit when the shorter-term moving average crosses back below the longer-term moving average for a long position or crosses above for a short position.
- **Ichimoku Cloud reversal**: If the price breaks through the cloud or the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen lines cross in the opposite direction.
- **Profit target or stop loss**: Setting predefined profit targets or using a trailing stop to lock in profits as the trade moves in your favor.
Summary of the Strategy
This strategy is designed to identify strong trends and avoid false signals by combining:
SMA/EMA crossovers for immediate market direction signals.
Ichimoku Cloud for confirming the strength and trend direction.
A 200
SMA filter to ensure trades align with the long-term trend.
By using these multiple indicators together, the strategy aims to refine entry and exit points, minimize risk, and increase the likelihood of successful trades.
