Background

John F. Ehlers introuced Empirical Mode Trader Indicator in Mar, 2010.

Function

In his article “Empirical Mode Decomposition,” John Ehlers and Ric Way suggest using methods based on bandpass filtering to distinguish trending from cycling markets. The article’s trading suggestions were used to create the Empirical Mode strategy given here for pine v4 script. If the strategy determines that the marke is in trending mode, then the strategy is allowed to trade with the trend — either long, in uptrends, or short, in downtrends. If the indicator determines that the market is in cycling mode, then the strategy allows trading cycle extremes, using Bollinger bands to trigger entries. You can do this by Choosing either cycle or trend mode at inputs.


Key Signal

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.
