Ehlers Reverse EMAOverview
The Ehlers Reverse EMA is an advanced momentum indicator designed by John Ehlers and implemented here with additional features for improved trading decision-making. This indicator helps identify trend direction, potential reversals, and generates precise buy/sell signals based on multiple confirmation methods.
What Makes It Unique
Unlike conventional EMAs, the Ehlers Reverse EMA uses a sophisticated reverse-engineering approach to provide smoother, more responsive signals with reduced lag. The indicator combines a proprietary EMA calculation with optional moving average confirmation to filter out market noise and highlight meaningful price movements.
Features
Dynamic Color Coding: Green when momentum is positive, red when negative
Moving Average Overlay: Optional MA with selectable types (SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA)
Multiple Signal Generation Methods:
Zero-Line Crossovers: Signals when momentum shifts from positive to negative or vice versa
MA Crossovers: Signals when the Ehlers EMA crosses its own moving average
Combined Confirmation: Requires both zero-line and MA crossovers for highest probability signals
On-Chart Signal Visualization: Clear buy/sell arrows directly on the price chart
Customizable Parameters: Adjust alpha value, MA type, and signal generation to suit your trading style
How To Use
Add the main "Ehlers Reverse EMA" indicator to your chart
Add the companion "EREMA Signals" indicator to display buy/sell signals on the price chart
Ensure both indicators have matching settings for consistency
Signal Interpretation
Buy Signals (Green Triangles): Appear below price bars when conditions are met
Sell Signals (Red Triangles): Appear above price bars when conditions are met
Recommended Timeframes
Works well on all timeframes from 5-minute to daily charts. For swing trading, 4H or daily timeframes often provide the most reliable signals.
Strategy Applications
Trend Following: Use zero-line crossovers to enter with the trend
Momentum Trading: Use MA crossovers for entry and exit points
Confirmation Tool: Combine with price action or other indicators for higher-probability trades
Divergence Analysis: Compare indicator movement with price action to spot potential reversals
Parameter Settings
Alpha (Default: 0.1): Lower values create smoother lines but more lag; higher values increase responsiveness but may increase false signals
MA Length (Default: 14): Adjust based on your trading timeframe and style
This versatile indicator helps identify high-probability trading opportunities while filtering out market noise, making it valuable for both novice and experienced traders alike.

Background
John F. Ehlers introuced Reverse EMA in Sep, 2017.
Function
In โThe Reverse EMA Indicatorโ in Sep, 2017, John Ehlers presented very interesting filtering technique based on a Z-transform of the exponential moving average. It is a causal forward and backward EMA indicator that could be used in real trading. It has double smoothing at the high end of the spectrum to reduce aliased components and is able to mitigate the impact of spectral dilation at the low end. The author described the indicator as having unique flexibility in that it could display trend or cycle information by varying the alpha parameter and do this with very low lag.

Readme
In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts.
The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works.
Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element.
Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level.
Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated.
Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop.
Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.

EREMA SignalsOverview
The EREMA Signals indicator is a specialized overlay tool designed to display precise buy and sell signals directly on your price chart. Working as a companion to the main Ehlers Reverse EMA indicator, it brings powerful momentum-based signals to your trading strategy without cluttering your chart with additional indicator panels.
Key Features
On-Chart Signal Visualization: Clear buy/sell arrows appear directly on the price chart
Dynamic Signal Positioning: Signals automatically adjust their distance from price using ATR for optimal visibility
Multiple Signal Types: Choose from three distinct signal generation methods
Clean Chart Interface: Displays only the essential signals, maintaining chart clarity
Signal Types
Zero Cross: Generates signals when the Ehlers Reverse EMA crosses above/below the zero line
MA Cross: Identifies when the Ehlers Reverse EMA crosses its own moving average
Zero & MA Cross: The strictest filter, requiring both zero line and MA crossovers for signal generation
How To Use
Setup
First add the main "Ehlers Reverse EMA" indicator to your chart
Then add this "EREMA Signals" indicator as an overlay
Configure both indicators with identical settings for alpha, MA type, and signal method
Reading Signals
Green Triangles (below price): Buy signals indicating potential upward momentum
Red Triangles (above price): Sell signals indicating potential downward momentum
Trading Applications
Trend Identification: Zero cross signals help identify changes in overall trend direction
Momentum Trading: MA cross signals can identify shorter-term momentum shifts
Confirmation Tool: Use alongside other technical indicators or price action strategies
Multiple Timeframe Analysis: Apply to different timeframes for more robust trading decisions
Best Practices
Consider using longer timeframes (4H, Daily) for more reliable signals
The combined "Zero & MA Cross" setting provides fewer but higher-quality signals
For tighter entries, use the "MA Cross" option in established trends
Adjust the Alpha parameter to match your trading style (lower for longer-term, higher for shorter-term)
This indicator works seamlessly with the main Ehlers Reverse EMA indicator while maintaining a clean chart interface, making it ideal for traders who prefer visual simplicity without sacrificing analytical power.

1. Session starts (or custom time begins)
2. Tracks highest high and lowest low during the period
3. Range confirmed at end of opening period
4. Levels extend throughout the session
Breakout Detection:
- Bullish Breakout: Close above ORH
- Bearish Breakout: Close below ORL
- Mid-point acts as bias indicator
Visual Display:
- Shaded box during range formation
- Horizontal lines for ORH, ORL, and mid-point
- Labels showing level values
- Color-coded fills based on selected method
Fill Color Methods:

TASC 2021.11 MADH Moving Average Difference, Hannโโ OVERVIEW
Presented here is code for the "Moving Average Difference, Hann" indicator originally conceived by John โEhlers. The code is also published in the November 2021 issue of Trader's Tips by Technical Analysis of Stocks & โCommodities (TASC) magazine.
โโ CONCEPTS
By employing a Hann windowed finite impulse response filter (FIR), John โEhlers has enhanced the Moving Average Difference (MAD) to provide an oscillator with exceptional smoothness.
โOf notable mention, the wave form of MADH resembles โEhlers' "Reverse EMA" Indicator, formerly revealed in the September 2017 issue of TASC. Many variations of the "Reverse EMA" were published in TradingView's Public Library.
โโ FEATURES
Three values in the script's "Settings/Inputs" provide control over the oscillators behavior:
โโข The price source
โโข A "Short Length" with a default of 8, to manage the lower band edge of the oscillator
โโข The "Dominant Cycle", originally set at 27, which appears to be a placeholder for an adaptive control mechanism
Two coloring options are provided for the line's fill:
โโข "ZeroCross", the default, uses the line's position above/below the zero level. This is the mode used in the top version of MADH on this chart.
โโข "Momentum" uses the line's up/down state, as shown in the bottom version of the indicator on the chart.
โโ NOTES
Calculations
The source price is used in two independent Hann windowed FIR filters having two different periods (lengths) of historical observation for calculation, one being a "Short Length" and the other termed "Dominant Cycle". These are then passed to a "rate of change" calculation and then returned by the reusable function. The secret โsauce is that a "windowed Hann FIR filter" is superior tp a generic SMA filter, and that ultimately reveals Ehlers' clever enhancement. We'll have to wait and see what ingenuities โEhlers has next to unleash. Stay tuned...
The `madh()` function code was optimized for computational efficiency in Pine, differing visibly from โEhlers' original formula, but yielding the same results as โEhlers' version.
Background
This indicator has a sibling indicator discussed in the "The MAD Indicator, Enhanced" article by โEhlers. MADH is an evolutionary update from the prior MAD indicator code published in the October 2021 issue of TASC.

Supports up to 5 different EMAs.
Ability to enable or disable each EMA individually.
Fully customizable period for each EMA.
Flexible color selection for better visual organization.
Adjustable line thickness to highlight the most relevant levels.
๐ How to use:
Open the indicator settings.
Select which EMAs you want to display (from 1 to 5).
Define the period (e.g., 20, 50, 100, 200, etc.).
Choose a color for each EMA.
Observe price behavior relative to the EMAs to identify:
Trends โ price above long EMAs indicates bullish strength.
Reversals โ EMA crossovers may signal a change in direction.
Dynamic support and resistance โ EMAs often act as reaction zones for price.
๐ก Practical example:
Short EMA (20) โ shows short-term movement.
Mid-term EMA (50 or 100) โ confirms trend direction.
Long EMA (200 or 500) โ indicates the overall market trend.
๐ This indicator is flexible and can be used for scalping, swing trading, or position trading, depending on the chosen periods.
Ehlers Reverse Exponential Moving AverageEhlers Reverse Exponential Moving Average script.
This indicator was originally developed by John F. Ehlers (Stocks & Commodities V. 35:10: The Reverse EMA Indicator).
BONK/USD (1H) - $4k DCA + Dual Trailing + Date FilterThis strategy trades BONK/USD on the 1-hour chart, employing a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) approach for long entries.
It initiates a Base Order when a faster Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crosses above a slower one (signaling a potential uptrend, default 9/21 EMA). If the price declines after entry, it can automatically place up to two additional Safety Orders at predetermined lower levels, calculated using either Average True Range (ATR) volatility or fixed percentage drops.
Exits are triggered by a trend reversal (EMA crossunder) or a dual trailing stop-loss mechanism, which includes both a standard trail and a tighter profit-locking trail activated after reaching a certain profit target.
The strategy includes user-configurable inputs for all key parameters (EMAs, order sizes, trailing stops, SO spacing) and an optional date filter to limit backtesting or execution to a specific period. It also generates alerts formatted for potential automation with platforms like 3Commas.
GARCH Range PredictorThis was inspired by deltatrendtrading's video on GARCH models to predict daily trading ranges and identify favorable trading conditions. Based on advanced volatility forecasting techniques, it predicts whether a trading day's true range will exceed a threshold, helping traders decide when to trade or skip a session.
Key Features
GARCH(1,1) Volatility Modeling: Uses log-transformed true ranges with exponential moving average centering
Forward-Looking Predictions: Makes predictions at session start before the day unfolds
Dynamic or Static Thresholds: Choose between fixed dollar thresholds or adaptive 20-day averages
Accuracy Tracking: Monitors prediction accuracy with overall and recent (20-day) hit rates
Visual Session Boxes: Colors trading sessions green (trade) or red (skip) based on predictions
Real-Time Statistics: Displays current predictions, thresholds, and performance metrics
How It Works
Data Transformation: Log-transforms daily true ranges and centers them using an EMA
Variance Modeling: Updates GARCH variance using: ฯยฒโ = ฯ + ฮฑ(residualยฒ) + ฮฒ(ฯยฒโโโ)
Prediction Generation: Back-transforms log predictions to dollar values
Signal Generation: Compares predictions to threshold to generate trade/skip signals
Performance Tracking: Validates predictions against actual outcomes
Parameters
GARCH Parameters (ฯ, ฮฑ, ฮฒ): Control volatility persistence and mean reversion
EMA Period: Smoothing period for log range centering
Threshold Settings: Static dollar amount or dynamic multiplier of recent averages
Session Time: Define regular trading hours for analysis
Best Use Cases
Breakout and momentum strategies that perform better on high-range days
Risk management by avoiding low-volatility sessions
Futures day trading (optimized for MNQ/NQ detection)
Any strategy where daily range impacts profitability
Important Notes
Requires 5+ sessions for initialization and warm-up
Accuracy depends heavily on proper parameter tuning for your specific instrument
Default parameters may need adjustment for different markets

TrapLightTrap Light is built off the stochastic RSI to provide convenience and make your entries while scalping either long/short more straightforward.
Notes/Disclaimer:
This indicator is not guaranteed to work every time. Use it at your own discretion and perform your own due diligence. None of this is financial advice.
The main idea behind this is that when the stochastic RSI reaches such extremes that it often moves in a favorable direction.
K = momentum or the blue line of the stochastic RSI indicator.
Perks:
Don't have to look away from candlesticks and measure stochastic RSI's K level.
Simple visual indication of what to do.
Don't have to stare at your chart all day waiting for things to get exciting.
How to Use:
(Above the current candlestick on any timeframe)
1. When K is greater than or equal to 99.5, it shows a sell signal. This is to indicate a short entry.
2. When K is less than or equal to 0.5, it shows a buy signal. This is to indicate a long entry.
3. If neither the conditions for a short/long entry are present, it shows a circle that is like a traffic light.
Red Light: When K is between 99.5 and 95, a red circle is shown to indicate that a short entry may be available soon.
Yellow Light: When K is between 95 and 5, a yellow circle is shown to indicate that neither a long nor short entry may be available soon.
Green Light: When K is between 5 and 0.5, a green circle is shown to indicate that a long entry may be available soon.
Alerts:
Set an alert on the ticker you trade to notify you when either the green or red light is present so that you have time to prepare to make an entry either long/short.
