DRW MultiTF Means

DRW MTF EMA Framework — Higher-Timeframe Structure for Lower-Timeframe Execution
Purpose & Originality
This indicator provides a fixed multi-timeframe EMA structure designed specifically for traders executing on lower timeframes (5–15 minute charts) who need consistent higher-timeframe context without constantly switching charts.

Rather than offering adjustable or overlapping EMA combinations, this script uses a deliberately curated EMA set that mirrors how institutional traders anchor intraday decisions to higher-timeframe structure.

---

What the Script Plots
The script calculates and plots the following higher-timeframe EMAs directly onto the current chart:

8 EMA from the 15-minute timeframe – short-term execution bias
21 EMA from the 30-minute timeframe – core intraday trend path
50 EMA from the 60-minute timeframe – higher-timeframe mean / swing filter
5 EMA from the Daily timeframe – macro directional anchor

These EMAs are always active and intentionally fixed to keep the framework consistent across instruments and sessions.

How the EMAs Work Together
Each EMA serves a specific structural role, not redundancy:

The 15m 8 EMA reflects near-term pressure and momentum shifts.
The 30m 21 EMA acts as the primary intraday trend guide.
The 60m 50 EMA functions as a higher-timeframe equilibrium zone.
The Daily 5 EMA defines broader directional bias and mean-reversion risk.

When multiple higher-timeframe EMAs align, continuation setups tend to perform better.
When price chops between them, conditions are typically rotational or corrective.

How to Use This Framework
Recommended workflow (5m–15m charts):

Favor longs when price holds above the 30m 21 EMA and respects the 60m 50 EMA.
Favor shorts when price stays below those same anchors.
Expect mean reversion or hesitation near the 60m 50 EMA or Daily 5 EMA.
Treat EMA stacking (all aligned) as confirmation, not prediction.

This tool is best used as a context filter, not a standalone entry system.

Best Timeframes
Designed for 5-minute to 15-minute execution charts
Can be viewed on higher timeframes, but its intent is to project HTF structure onto LTF execution

---

What This Script Is NOT
❌ Not a crossover system
❌ Not a signal generator
❌ Not a “best EMA” optimizer

It provides structure, bias, and reference points so traders can make better decisions around timing and risk.
