EMA Curl Strength

📌 EMA Curl Strength

EMA Curl Strength is a trend momentum oscillator based on the slope of an EMA, normalized using Z-scores. It helps identify when a market is trending vs. ranging, and how strong the current momentum is.

⸻

🔍 How it works:
• Measures the slope of an EMA and standardizes it with Z-scores.
• Smooths the result and compares it to a signal line.
• The histogram shows the difference between the two.
• Color-coded lines represent mild, moderate, and strong trend strength.

⸻

🧠 How to use it:
• Watch for crosses of the zero line as possible trade signals.
• Use bright green/red for strong trends, gray/faint tones for weak or ranging conditions.
• Best used with other indicators (like RSI, moving averages, or price action) for trade confirmation.

⸻

⚙️ Key Features:
• Adjustable EMA, smoothing, and histogram settings
• Custom Z-score thresholds for trend strength
• Toggleable threshold lines (mild, moderate, strong)
• Optional zero-cross dots and color gradient fill
• All colors and styles customizable
