"adaptive ema cloud v1 trend & trade signals" is a comprehensive technical indicator aimed at assisting traders in identifying market trends, trade entry points, and potential take profit (tp) and stop-loss (sl) levels. this indicator combines adaptive exponential moving average (ema) clouds with standard deviation bands to create a visual trend and signal system, enabling users to better analyze price action.
key features:
adaptive ema cloud: calculates a dynamic ema-based cloud using a simple moving average (sma) line, with upper and lower deviation bands based on standard deviations. users can adjust the standard deviation multiplier to modify the cloud's width.
trend direction detection: the indicator determines trend direction by comparing the close price to the ema cloud and signals bullish or bearish trends when the price crosses key levels.
take profit (tp) and stop-loss (sl) points: adaptive tp and sl levels are calculated based on the deviation bands, providing users with suggested exit points when a trade is triggered.
peak and valley detection: detects peaks and valleys in price, aiding traders in spotting potential support and resistance areas.
gradient-based cloud fill: dynamically fills the cloud with a gradient color based on trend strength, helping users visually gauge trend intensity.
trade tracking: tracks recent trades and records them in an internal memory, allowing users to view the last 20 trade outcomes, including whether tp or sl was hit.
how to use:
trend signals: look for green arrows (bullish trend) or red arrows (bearish trend) to identify potential entries based on trend crossovers.
tp/sl management: tp and sl levels are automatically calculated and displayed, with alerts available to notify users when these levels are reached.
adjustable settings: customize period length, standard deviation multiplier, and color preferences to match trading preferences and chart style.
inputs-
period: defines the look-back period for ema calculations.
standard deviation multiplier: adjusts cloud thickness by setting the multiplier for tp and sl bands.
gauge size: scales the gradient intensity for trend cloud visualization.
up/down colors: allows users to set custom colors for bullish and bearish bars.
alert conditions: this script has built-in alerts for trend changes, tp, and sl levels, providing users with automated notifications of important trading signals.
