1H Candlestick vs EMA Crossover

# Description — 1H Candlestick vs EMA Crossover (Pine Script)

This indicator is built in **TradingView Pine Script v5** and is designed to track the relationship between the **1‑hour candlestick close** and the **1‑hour Exponential Moving Average (EMA)**. It works on any chart timeframe but always pulls in **1H data** using `request. security`.

### Core Features

* **Customizable EMA length** (default = 200)
* **Plots the 1H EMA** as an orange line on your chart
* Optionally shows the **1H close** as a faint gray line for reference
* Detects and highlights when the **1H candle close crosses above or below the 1H EMA**
* **Arrows**: Green triangles appear below the bar when a bullish crossover happens (1H close > EMA); red triangles appear above the bar when a bearish crossover happens (1H close < EMA)
* **Alerts**: Built‑in `alert condition` statements let you create TradingView alerts whenever a crossover occurs

### How to Use

1. Adjust the EMA length if you want a faster or slower moving average.
2. Enable alerts: Right‑click the chart → Add Alert → choose this indicator and select either “crossed ABOVE EMA” or “crossed BELOW EMA.”

### Trading Applications

* **Trend Confirmation**: Use the 1H EMA as a higher‑timeframe filter while trading on lower timeframes.
* **Entry/Exit Signals**: Crossovers can mark potential entry points for trend continuation or reversals.
* **Scalping/Intraday**: Even on a 5m or 15m chart, you can overlay the 1H EMA to align your trades with the bigger trend.

This makes the indicator a simple yet powerful tool for aligning trades with higher‑timeframe momentum and avoiding false signals from lower‑timeframe noise.
