Quickly see past levels where diff maxed out. Momentum and price can only keep going up for so long. This obviously differs per underlying asset. So that is where this oscillator comes in handy.
Of course you can see on the chart how far apart the moving averages are, but it is easier to spot on an oscillator.

Hello this is a script that seeks to increase a bit the number of indicators used in the free version. its use is to know if a trend continues or will change, it is a very used and simple but efficient system. If the distance between the lines remains constant then it indicates or gives an indication that the trend continues but if they are cut it indicates or gives an indication of change of interest.
sorry for my bad english but I speak spanish

EMA DifferenceThis is a custom script initially invented by Thomas Bierovic. It is a difference between opening and closing prices and it gives a good understanding of trend strength.
EMA & MA Crossover The Moving Average Crossover trading strategy is possibly the most popular
trading strategy in the world of trading. First of them were written in the
middle of XX century, when commodities trading strategies became popular.
This strategy is a good example of so-called traditional strategies.
Traditional strategies are always long or short. That means they are never
out of the market. The concept of having a strategy that is always long or
short may be scary, particularly in today’s market where you don’t know what
is going to happen as far as risk on any one market. But a lot of traders
believe that the concept is still valid, especially for those of traders who
do their own research or their own discretionary trading.
This version uses crossover of moving average and its exponential moving average.

MERCURY by DrAbhiramSivprasad"MERCURY by DrAbhiramSivprasad"
Developed from over 10 years of personal trading experience, the Mercury Indicator is a strategic tool designed to enhance accuracy in trading decisions. Think of it as a guiding light—a supportive tool that helps traders refine and build more robust strategies by integrating multiple powerful elements into a single indicator. I’ll be sharing some examples to illustrate how I use this indicator in my own trading journey, highlighting its potential to improve strategy accuracy.
Reason behind the combination of emas , cpr and vwap is it provides very good support and resistance in my trading carrier so now i brought them together in one plate
How It Works:
Mercury combines three essential elements—EMA, VWAP, and CPR—each of which plays a vital role in detecting support and resistance:
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs): Known for their strength in providing dynamic support and resistance levels, EMAs help in identifying trends and shifts in momentum. This indicator includes a dashboard with up to nine customizable EMAs, showing whether each is acting as support or resistance based on real-time price movement.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP): VWAP also provides valuable support and resistance, often regarded as a fair price level by institutional traders. Paired with EMAs, it forms a dual-layered support/resistance system, adding an additional level of confirmation.
Central Pivot Range (CPR): By combining CPR with EMAs and VWAP, Mercury highlights “traffic blocks” in your target journey. This means it identifies zones where price is likely to stall or reverse, providing additional guidance for navigating entries and exits.
Why This Combination Matters:
Using these three tools together gives you a more complete view of the market. VWAP and EMAs offer dynamic trend direction and support/resistance, while CPR pinpoints critical price zones. This combination helps you find high-probability trades, adding clarity to complex market situations and enabling stronger confirmation on trend or reversal decisions.
How to Use:
Trend Confirmation: Check if all EMAs are aligned (green for uptrend, red for downtrend), which is visible in the EMA dashboard. An alignment across VWAP, CPR, and EMAs signifies high confidence in trend direction.
Breakouts & Breakdowns: Mercury has an alert system to signal when a price breakout or breakdown occurs across VWAP, EMA1, and EMA2. This can help in spotting strong directional moves.
Example Application: In my trading, I use Mercury to identify support/resistance zones, confirming trends with EMA/VWAP alignment and using CPR as a checkpoint. I find this especially useful for day trading and swing setups.
Recommended Timeframes:
Day Trading: 5 to 15-minute charts for swift, actionable insights.
Swing Trading: 1-hour or 4-hour charts for broader trend analysis.
Note:
The Mercury Indicator should be used as a supportive tool rather than a standalone strategy, guiding you toward informed decisions in line with your trading style and goals.
EXAMPLE OF TRADE
you can see the cart of XAUUSD on 11th nov 2024
1.SHORT POSITION - TIME FRAME 15 MIN
So here for a short position you need to wait for a breakdown candle which will print in orange post the candle you need to check ema dashboard is completly red that indicates no traffic blocks in your journey to destiny target from ema's and you can take the target from nearest cpr support line
TAKEN IN XAUUSD you can see in chart of XAUUSD on 7th nov
2.LONG POSITION - TIME FRAME 15 MIN -
So here for long position you need to wait for a breakout candle from indicator thats here is blue and check all ema boxes are green and candle body should close above all the 3 lines here it is the both ema 1 and 2 and the vwap line then you can take and entry and your target will be the nearest resistance from the daily cpr
3. STOP LOSS CRITERIA
After the entry any candle close below any of the last line from entry for example we have 3 lines vwap and ema 1 and 2 lines and u have made an entry and the last line before the entry is vwap then if any candle closes below vwap can be considered as stoploss like wise in any lines
The MERCURY indicator is a comprehensive trading tool designed to enhance traders' ability to identify trends, breakouts, and reversals effectively. Created by Dr. Abhiram Sivprasad, this indicator integrates several technical elements, including Central Pivot Range (CPR), EMA crossovers, VWAP levels, and a table-based EMA dashboard, to offer a holistic trading view.
Core Components and Functionality:
Central Pivot Range (CPR):
The CPR in MERCURY provides a central pivot level along with Below Central (BC) and Top Central (TC) pivots. These levels act as potential support and resistance, useful for identifying reversal points and zones where price may consolidate.
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
MERCURY includes up to nine EMAs, with a customizable EMA crossover alert system. This feature enables traders to see shifts in trend direction, especially when shorter EMAs cross longer ones.
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price):
VWAP is incorporated as a dynamic support/resistance level and, combined with EMA crossovers, helps refine entry and exit points for higher probability trades.
Breakout and Breakdown Alerts:
MERCURY monitors conditions for upside and downside breakouts. For an upside breakout, all EMAs turn green and a candle closes above VWAP, EMA1, and EMA2. Similarly, all EMAs turning red, combined with a close below VWAP and EMA1/EMA2, signals a downside breakdown. Continuous alerts are available until the trend shifts.
Real-Time EMA Dashboard:
A table displays each EMA’s relative position (Above or Below), helping traders quickly gauge trend direction. Colors in the table adjust to long/short conditions based on EMA alignment.
Usage Recommendations:
Trend Confirmation:
Use the CPR, EMA alignments, and VWAP to confirm uptrends and downtrends. The table highlights trends, making it easy to spot long or short setups at a glance.
Breakout and Breakdown Alerts:
The alert system is customizable for continuous notifications on critical price levels. When all EMAs align in one direction (green for long, red for short) and the close is above or below VWAP and key EMAs, the indicator confirms a breakout/breakdown.
Adaptable for Different Styles:
Day Trading: Traders can set shorter EMAs for quick insights.
Swing Trading: Longer EMAs combined with CPR offer insights into sustained trends.
Recommended Settings:
Timeframes: MERCURY is suitable for timeframes as low as 5 minutes for intraday traders, up to daily charts for trend analysis.
Symbols: Works across forex, stocks, and crypto. Adjust EMA lengths for asset volatility.
Example Strategy:
Long Entry: When the price crosses above CPR and closes above both EMA1 and EMA2.
Short Entry: When the price falls below CPR with a close below both EMA1 and EMA2.
EMA 50/200 Pullback + RSI/SMA RSI
Strategy Description: EMA 50/200 Pullback + RSI/SMA RSI
1. Trend Identification with EMA:
Uses two Exponential Moving Averages (EMA): a fast EMA (default 50) and a slow EMA (default 200).
When the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA (bullish crossover), an uptrend is identified.
When the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA (bearish crossover), a downtrend is identified.
The lengths of both EMAs are fully customizable.
2. EMA Distance Condition:
Signals are only valid when the absolute percentage distance between the two EMAs is within a user-defined range (default: 0.4% to 1%).
This helps filter out weak signals when the EMAs are too close or too far apart.
3. Pullback Condition:
After a new trend is detected (EMA crossover), the strategy waits for the price to pull back to touch or cross the fast EMA (EMA 50).
This ensures entries are not taken immediately at the crossover, but after a retracement to a dynamic support/resistance area.
4. RSI Confirmation:
Uses the RSI indicator (default 14) and its Simple Moving Average (SMA RSI, default 14).
Buy signal: RSI crosses above its SMA.
Sell signal: RSI crosses below its SMA.
Both RSI and SMA RSI lengths are fully customizable.
5. Entry Rules:
The indicator only gives the first buy/sell signal after each EMA crossover (start of a new trend), and will not repeat signals until the next EMA crossover.
Buy signal:
Fast EMA crosses above slow EMA
EMA distance is within the valid range
Price pulls back to the fast EMA
RSI crosses above its SMA
Sell signal:
Fast EMA crosses below slow EMA
EMA distance is within the valid range
Price pulls back to the fast EMA
RSI crosses below its SMA
6. Customization:
All parameters (EMA lengths, RSI length, SMA RSI length, EMA distance range) can be adjusted in the indicator’s settings.
Note:
This is a signal indicator, not a complete trading strategy. For real trading, always combine with risk management and additional confirmations.
EMA Ribbon with 100 MA BY TIJUThe EMA Ribbon with 100 MA is a powerful and visually intuitive indicator designed to help traders identify trends, momentum, and potential support/resistance levels using multiple Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). By plotting a series of EMAs with varying periods, the script creates a "ribbon" effect on the chart, making it easier to spot trend direction and strength at a glance.
Key Features:
Multiple EMAs for Trend Analysis:
The script plots 8 EMAs with periods ranging from 20 to 55, creating a gradient ribbon effect.
The 100-period EMA is added as a thick blue line, acting as a key level for long-term trend analysis.
Customizable Periods:
Each EMA period is fully customizable, allowing traders to tailor the indicator to their preferred trading style and timeframe.
Visual Clarity:
The EMAs are color-coded, making it easy to distinguish between different periods and identify the overall trend direction.
Dynamic Support/Resistance:
The EMAs act as dynamic support and resistance levels, helping traders identify potential entry and exit points.
Drop Candles Feature:
The script includes an option to drop the first N candles, ensuring cleaner calculations and avoiding false signals during the initial periods.
How to Use:
Trend Identification:
Uptrend: When the shorter-period EMAs are stacked above the longer-period EMAs, it indicates a strong uptrend.
Downtrend: When the longer-period EMAs are stacked above the shorter-period EMAs, it indicates a strong downtrend.
Consolidation: When the EMAs are intertwined, it suggests a sideways or weak trend.
Support/Resistance Levels:
Use the EMAs as dynamic support/resistance levels. For example, in an uptrend, the price may bounce off the lower EMAs.
100-Period EMA:
The 100-period EMA (thick blue line) acts as a key level for long-term trend analysis. A price above this line suggests a bullish bias, while a price below suggests a bearish bias.
Customization:
Adjust the EMA periods and colors to suit your trading strategy.
Use the Drop first N candles option to avoid false signals during the initial periods.
Example Use Cases:
Trend Following:
Enter long positions when the price is above the EMA ribbon and the EMAs are stacked in an uptrend.
Enter short positions when the price is below the EMA ribbon and the EMAs are stacked in a downtrend.
Dynamic Support/Resistance:
Use the EMAs as dynamic support/resistance levels for setting stop-loss or take-profit targets.
Confirmation Tool:
Combine the EMA Ribbon with other indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD) to confirm trade signals.
Settings:
MA-1 to MA-8 Periods: Adjust the periods for the 8 EMAs (default: 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55).
MA-100 Period: Adjust the period for the 100 EMA (default: 100).
Source: Choose the price source for the EMAs (default: Close).
Drop First N Candles: Drop the first N candles to avoid false signals (default: 1).

EMA Crossover Strategy with Take Profit and Candle HighlightingStrategy Overview:
This strategy is based on the Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), specifically the EMA 20 and EMA 50. It takes advantage of EMA crossovers to identify potential trend reversals and uses multiple take-profit levels and a stop-loss for risk management.
Key Components:
EMA Crossover Signals:
Buy Signal (Uptrend): A buy signal is generated when the EMA 20 crosses above the EMA 50, signaling the start of a potential uptrend.
Sell Signal (Downtrend): A sell signal is generated when the EMA 20 crosses below the EMA 50, signaling the start of a potential downtrend.
Take Profit Levels:
Once a buy or sell signal is triggered, the strategy calculates multiple take-profit levels based on the range of the previous candle. The user can define multipliers for each take-profit level.
Take Profit 1 (TP1): 50% of the previous candle's range above or below the entry price.
Take Profit 2 (TP2): 100% of the previous candle's range above or below the entry price.
Take Profit 3 (TP3): 150% of the previous candle's range above or below the entry price.
Take Profit 4 (TP4): 200% of the previous candle's range above or below the entry price.
These levels are adjusted dynamically based on the previous candle's high and low, so they adapt to changing market conditions.
Stop Loss:
A stop-loss is set to manage risk. The default stop-loss is 3% from the entry price, but this can be adjusted in the settings. The stop-loss is triggered if the price moves against the position by this amount.
Trend Direction Highlighting:
The strategy highlights the bars (candles) with colors:
Green bars indicate an uptrend (when EMA 20 crosses above EMA 50).
Red bars indicate a downtrend (when EMA 20 crosses below EMA 50).
These visual cues help users easily identify the market direction.
Strategy Entries and Exits:
Entries: The strategy enters a long (buy) position when the EMA 20 crosses above the EMA 50 and a short (sell) position when the EMA 20 crosses below the EMA 50.
Exits: The strategy exits the positions at any of the defined take-profit levels or the stop-loss. Multiple exit levels provide opportunities to take profit progressively as the price moves in the favorable direction.
Entry and Exit Conditions in Detail:
Buy Entry Condition (Uptrend):
A buy position is opened when EMA 20 crosses above EMA 50, signaling the start of an uptrend.
The strategy calculates take-profit levels above the entry price based on the previous bar's range (high-low) and the multipliers for TP1, TP2, TP3, and TP4.
Sell Entry Condition (Downtrend):
A sell position is opened when EMA 20 crosses below EMA 50, signaling the start of a downtrend.
The strategy calculates take-profit levels below the entry price, similarly based on the previous bar's range.
Exit Conditions:
Take Profit: The strategy attempts to exit the position at one of the take-profit levels (TP1, TP2, TP3, or TP4). If the price reaches any of these levels, the position is closed.
Stop Loss: The strategy also has a stop-loss set at a default value (3% below the entry for long trades, and 3% above for short trades). The stop-loss helps to protect the position from significant losses.
Backtesting and Performance Metrics:
The strategy can be backtested using TradingView's Strategy Tester. The results will show how the strategy would have performed historically, including key metrics like:
Net Profit
Max Drawdown
Win Rate
Profit Factor
Average Trade Duration
These performance metrics can help users assess the strategy's effectiveness over historical periods and optimize the input parameters (e.g., multipliers, stop-loss level).
Customization:
The strategy allows for the adjustment of several key input values via the settings panel:
Take Profit Multipliers: Users can customize the multipliers for each take-profit level (TP1, TP2, TP3, TP4).
Stop Loss Percentage: The user can also adjust the stop-loss percentage to a custom value.
EMA Periods: The default periods for the EMA 50 and EMA 20 are fixed, but they can be adjusted for different market conditions.
Pros of the Strategy:
EMA Crossover Strategy: A classic and well-known strategy used by traders to identify the start of new trends.
Multiple Take Profit Levels: By taking profits progressively at different levels, the strategy locks in gains as the price moves in favor of the position.
Clear Trend Identification: The use of green and red bars makes it visually easier to follow the market's direction.
Risk Management: The stop-loss and take-profit features help to manage risk and optimize profit-taking.
Cons of the Strategy:
Lagging Indicators: The strategy relies on EMAs, which are lagging indicators. This means that the strategy might enter trades after the trend has already started, leading to missed opportunities or less-than-ideal entry prices.
No Confirmation Indicators: The strategy purely depends on the crossover of two EMAs and does not use other confirming indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD), which might lead to false signals in volatile markets.
How to Use in Real-Time Trading:
Use for Backtesting: Initially, use this strategy in backtest mode to understand how it would have performed historically with your preferred settings.
Paper Trading: Once comfortable, you can use paper trading to test the strategy in real-time market conditions without risking real money.
Live Trading: After testing and optimizing the strategy, you can consider using it for live trading with proper risk management in place (e.g., starting with a small position size and adjusting parameters as needed).
Summary:
This strategy is designed to identify trend reversals using EMA crossovers, with customizable take-profit levels and a stop-loss to manage risk. It's well-suited for traders looking for a systematic way to enter and exit trades based on clear market signals, while also providing flexibility to adjust for different risk profiles and trading styles.

EMA bands + leledc + bollinger bands trend following strategy v2The basics:
In its simplest form, this strategy is a positional trend following strategy which enters long when price breaks out above "middle" EMA bands and closes or flips short when price breaks down below "middle" EMA bands. The top and bottom of the middle EMA bands are calculated from the EMA of candle highs and lows, respectively.
The idea is that entering trades on breakouts of the high EMAs and low EMAs rather than the typical EMA based on candle closes gives a bit more confirmation of trend strength and minimizes getting chopped up. To further reduce getting chopped up, the strategy defaults to close on crossing the opposite EMA band (ie. long on break above high EMA middle band and close below low EMA middle band).
This strategy works on all markets on all timeframes, but as a trend following strategy it works best on markets prone to trending such as crypto and tech stocks. On lower timeframes, longer EMAs tend to work best (I've found good results on EMA lengths even has high up to 1000), while 4H charts and above tend to work better with EMA lengths 21 and below.
As an added filter to confirm the trend, a second EMA can be used. Inputting a slower EMA filter can ensure trades are entered in accordance with longer term trends, inputting a faster EMA filter can act as confirmation of breakout strength.
Bar coloring can be enabled to quickly visually identify a trend's direction for confluence with other indicators or strategies.
The goods:
Waiting for the trend to flip before closing a trade (especially when a longer base EMA is used) often leaves money on the table. This script combines a number of ways to identify when a trend is exhausted for backtesting the best early exits.
"Delayed bars inside middle bands" - When a number of candle's in a row open and close between the middle EMA bands, it could be a sign the trend is weak, or that the breakout was not the start of a new trend. Selecting this will close out positions after a number of bars has passed
"Leledc bars" - Originally introduced by glaz, this is a price action indicator that highlights a candle after a number of bars in a row close the same direction and result in greatest high/low over a period. It often triggers when a strong trend has paused before further continuation, or it marks the end of a trend. To mitigate closing on false Leledc signals, this strategy has two options: 1. Introducing requirement for increased volume on the Leledc bars can help filter out Leledc signals that happen mid trend. 2. Closing after a number of Leledc bars appear after position opens. These two options work great in isolation but don't perform well together in my testing.
"Bollinger Bands exhaustion bars" - These bars are highlighted when price closes back inside the Bollinger Bands and RSI is within specified overbought/sold zones. The idea is that a trend is overextended when price trades beyond the Bollinger Bands. When price closes back inside the bands it's likely due for mean reversion back to the base EMA in which this strategy will ideally re-enter a position. Since the added RSI requirements often make this indicator too strict to trigger a large enough sample size to backtest, I've found it best to use "non-standard" settings for both the bands and the RSI as seen in the default settings.
"Buy/Sell zones" - Similar to the idea behind using Bollinger Bands exhaustion bars as a closing signal. Instead of calculating off of standard deviations, the Buy/Sell zones are calculated off multiples of the middle EMA bands. When trading beyond these zones and subsequently failing back inside, price may be due for mean reversion back to the base EMA. No RSI filter is used for Buy/Sell zones.
If any early close conditions are selected, it's often worth enabling trade re-entry on "middle EMA band bounce". Instead of waiting for a candle to close back inside the middle EMA bands, this feature will re-enter position on only a wick back into the middle bands as will sometimes happen when the trend is strong.
Any and all of the early close conditions can be combined. Experimenting with these, I've found can result in less net profit but higher win-rates and sharpe ratios as less time is spent in trades.
The deadly:
The trend is your friend. But wouldn't it be nice to catch the trends early? In ranging markets (or when using slower base EMAs in this strategy), waiting for confirmation of a breakout of the EMA bands at best will cause you to miss half the move, at worst will result in getting consistently chopped up. Enabling "counter-trend" trades on this strategy will allow the strategy to enter positions on the opposite side of the EMA bands on either a Leledc bar or Bollinger Bands exhaustion bar. There is a filter requiring either a high/low (for Leledc) or open (for BB bars) outside the selected inner or outer Buy/Sell zone. There are also a number of different close conditions for the counter-trend trades to experiment with and backtest.
There are two ways I've found best to use counter-trend trades
1. Mean reverting scalp trades when a trend is clearly overextended. Selecting from the first 5 counter-trend closing conditions on the dropdown list will usually close the trades out quickly, with less profit but less risk.
2. Trying to catch trends early. Selecting any of the close conditions below the first 5 can cause the strategy to behave as if it's entering into a new trend (from the wrong side).
This feature can be deadly effective in profiting from every move price makes, or deadly to the strategy's PnL if not set correctly. Since counter-trend trades open opposite the middle bands, a stop-loss is recommended to reduce risk. If stop-losses for counter-trend trades are disabled, the strategy will hold a position open often until liquidation in a trending market if th trade is offsides. Note that using a slower base EMA makes counter-trend stop-losses even more necessary as it can reduce the effectiveness of the Buy/Sell zone filter for opening the trades as price can spend a long time trending outside the zones. If faster EMAs (34 and below) are used with "Inner" Buy/Zone filter selected, the first few closing conditions will often trigger almost immediately closing the trade at a loss.
The niche:
I've added a feature to default into longs or shorts. Enabling these with other features (aside from the basic long/short on EMA middle band breakout) tends to break the strategy one way or another. Enabling default long works to simulate trying to acquire more of the asset rather than the base currency. Enabling default short can have positive results for those high FDV, high inflation coins that go down-only for months at a time. Otherwise, I use default short as a hedge for coins that I hold and stake spot. I gain the utility and APR of staking while reducing the risk of holding the underlying asset by maintaining a net neutral position *most* of the time.

This script is intended for experimenting and backtesting different strategies around EMA bands. Use this script for your live trading at your own risk. I am a rookie coder, as such there may be errors in the code that cause the strategy to behave not as intended. As far as I can tell it doesn't repaint, but I cannot guarantee that it does not. That being said if there's any question, improvements, or errors you've found, drop a comment below!
C&B Auto MK5C&B Auto MK5.2ema BullBear
Overview
The C&B Auto MK5.2ema BullBear is a versatile Pine Script indicator designed to help traders identify bullish and bearish market conditions across various timeframes. It combines Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), Relative Strength Index (RSI), Average True Range (ATR), and customizable time filters to generate actionable signals. The indicator overlays on the price chart, displaying EMAs, a dynamic cloud, scaled RSI levels, bull/bear signals, and market condition labels, making it suitable for swing trading, day trading, or scalping in trending or volatile markets.
What It Does
This indicator generates bull and bear signals based on the interaction of two EMAs, filtered by RSI thresholds, ATR-based volatility, a 50/200 EMA trend filter, and user-defined time windows. It adapts to market volatility by adjusting EMA lengths and RSI thresholds. A dynamic cloud highlights trend direction or neutral zones, with candlestick coloring in neutral conditions. Market condition labels (current and historical) provide real-time trend and volatility context, displayed above the chart.
How It Works
The indicator uses the following components:
EMAs: Two EMAs (short and long) are calculated on a user-selected timeframe (1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes). Their crossover or crossunder triggers potential bull/bear signals. EMA lengths adjust based on volatility (e.g., 10/20 for volatile markets, 5/10 for non-volatile).
Dynamic Cloud: The area between the EMAs forms a cloud, colored green for bullish trends, red for bearish trends, or a user-defined color (default yellow) for neutral zones (when EMAs are close, determined by an ATR-based threshold). Users can widen the cloud for visibility.
RSI Filter: RSI is scaled to price levels and plotted on the chart (optional). Signals are filtered to ensure RSI is within volatility-adjusted bull/bear thresholds and not in overbought/oversold zones.
ATR Volatility Filter: An optional filter ensures signals occur during sufficient volatility (ATR(14) > SMA(ATR, 20)).
50/200 EMA Trend Filter: An optional filter restricts bull signals to bullish trends (50 EMA > 200 EMA) and bear signals to bearish trends (50 EMA < 200 EMA).
Time Filter: Signals are restricted to a user-defined UTC time window (default 9:00–15:00), aligning with active trading sessions.
Market Condition Labels: Labels above the chart display the current trend (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) and optionally volatility (e.g., “Bullish Volatile”). Up to two historical labels persist for a user-defined number of bars (default 5) to show recent trend changes.
Visual Aids: Bull signals appear as green triangles/labels below the bar, bear signals as red triangles/labels above. Candlesticks in neutral zones are colored (default yellow).
The indicator ensures compatibility with standard chart types (e.g., candlestick or bar charts) to produce realistic signals, avoiding non-standard types like Heikin Ashi or Renko.
How to Use It
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to a candlestick or bar chart on TradingView.
Configure Settings:
Timeframe: Choose a timeframe (1, 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes) to match your trading style.
Filters:
Enable/disable the ATR volatility filter to focus on high-volatility periods.
Enable/disable the 50/200 EMA trend filter to align signals with the broader trend.
Enable the time filter and set custom UTC hours/minutes (default 9:00–15:00).
Cloud Settings: Adjust the cloud width, neutral zone threshold, color, and transparency.
EMA Colors: Use default trend-based colors or set custom colors for short/long EMAs.
RSI Display: Toggle the scaled RSI and its thresholds, with customizable colors.
Signal Settings: Toggle bull/bear labels and set signal colors.
Market Condition Labels: Toggle current/historical labels, include/exclude volatility, and adjust decay period.
Interpret Signals:
Bull Signal: A green triangle or “Bull” label below the bar indicates potential bullish momentum (EMA crossover, RSI above bull threshold, within time window, passing filters).
Bear Signal: A red triangle or “Bear” label above the bar indicates potential bearish momentum (EMA crossunder, RSI below bear threshold, within time window, passing filters).
Neutral Zone: Yellow candlesticks and cloud (if enabled) suggest a lack of clear trend; consider range-bound strategies or avoid trading.
Market Condition Labels: Check labels above the chart for real-time trend (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) and volatility status to confirm market context.
Monitor Context: Use the cloud, RSI, and labels to assess trend strength and volatility before acting on signals.
Unique Features
Volatility-Adaptive EMAs: Automatically adjusts EMA lengths based on ATR to suit volatile or non-volatile markets, reducing manual configuration.
Neutral Zone Detection: Uses an ATR-based threshold to identify low-trend periods, helping traders avoid choppy markets.
Scaled RSI Visualization: Plots RSI and thresholds directly on the price chart, simplifying momentum analysis relative to price.
Flexible Time Filtering: Supports precise UTC-based trading windows, ideal for day traders targeting specific sessions.
Historical Market Labels: Displays recent trend changes (up to two) with a decay period, providing context for market shifts.
50/200 EMA Trend Filter: Aligns signals with the broader market trend, enhancing signal reliability.
Notes
Use on standard candlestick or bar charts to ensure accurate signals.
Test the indicator on a demo account to optimize settings for your market and timeframe.
Combine with other analysis (e.g., support/resistance, volume) for better decision-making.
The indicator is not a standalone system; use it as part of a broader trading strategy.
Limitations
Signals may lag in fast-moving markets due to EMA-based calculations.
Neutral zone detection may vary in extremely volatile or illiquid markets.
Time filters are UTC-based; ensure your platform’s timezone settings align.
This indicator is designed for traders seeking a customizable, trend-following tool that adapts to volatility and provides clear visual cues with robust filtering for bullish and bearish market conditions.
