Combined Multi-Timeframe EMA Oscillator

kelmarin

This script aims to visualize the strength of bullish or bearish trends by utilizing a mix of 200 EMA across multiple timeframes. I've observed that when the multi-timeframe 200 EMA ribbon is aligned and expanding, the uptrend usually lasts longer and is safer to enter at a pullback for trend continuation. Similarly, when the bands are expanding in reverse order, the downtrend holds longer, making it easier to sell the pullbacks.

In this script, I apply a purely empirical and experimental method: a) Ranking the position of each of the above EMAs and turning it into an oscillator. b) Taking each 200 EMA on separate timeframes, turning it into a stochastic-like oscillator, and then averaging them to compute an overall stochastic.

To filter a bullish signal, I use the bullish crossover between these two aggregated oscillators (default: yellow and blue on the chart) which also plots a green shadow area on the screen and I look for buy opportunities/ ignore sell opportunities while this signal is bullish. Similarly, a bearish crossover gives us a bearish signal which also plots a red shadow area on the screen and I only look for sell opportunities/ ignore any buy opportunities while this signal is bearish.

Note that directly buying the signal as it prints can lead to suboptimal entries. The idea behind the above is that these crossovers point on average to a stronger trend; however, a trade should be initiated on the pullbacks with confirmation from momentum and volume indicators and in confluence with key areas of support and resistance and risk management should be used in order to protect your position.
