EMA EnvelopeThis is an attempt to convert gunbot's SG strategy into a proper TradingView strategy. The problem is that SG Sell Level relies on % above purchase price, which we don't actually know in TradingView. So we could try to get the average of the next bar or something, which maybe this is what the Slippage setting is? I'm not sure.
Anyways, using % above EMA does actually work as a strategy a bit. It's nothing like Turtle Rules by tmr0 though!
Will keep working on this gradually; feedback greatly appreciated!

This helps find the right levels by showing darker colors for the most prominent areas. So if you want to see if you can sneak in a buy at some little hump, you can tell how likely it'll be by whether it's super light (unlikely, you'll have to set the level to like 0.25) or super dark (very likely, could go as high as 1.0%).
EMA Intraday StrategyHere is a EMA intraday strategy. very profitable on the GBPAUD 1M charts if you are watching very closely, working on coding a indicator for it
Why EMA Isn't What You Think It IsMany new traders adopt the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) believing it's simply a "better Simple Moving Average (SMA)". This common misconception leads to fundamental misunderstandings about how EMA works and when to use it.
EMA and SMA differ at their core. SMA use a window of finite number of data points, giving equal weight to each data point in the calculation period. This makes SMA a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter in signal processing terms. Remember that FIR means that "all that we need is the 'period' number of data points" to calculate the filter value. Anything beyond the given period is not relevant to FIR filters – much like how a security camera with 14-day storage automatically overwrites older footage, making last month's activity completely invisible regardless of how important it might have been.
EMA, however, is an Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter. It uses ALL historical data, with each past price having a diminishing - but never zero - influence on the calculated value. This creates an EMA response that extends infinitely into the past—not just for the last N periods. IIR filters cannot be precise if we give them only a 'period' number of data to work on - they will be off-target significantly due to lack of context, like trying to understand Game of Thrones by watching only the final season and wondering why everyone's so upset about that dragon lady going full pyromaniac.
If we only consider a number of data points equal to the EMA's period, we are capturing no more than 86.5% of the total weight of the EMA calculation. Relying on he period window alone (the warm-up period) will provide only 1 - (1 / e^2) weights, which is approximately 1−0.1353 = 0.8647 = 86.5%. That's like claiming you've read a book when you've skipped the first few chapters – technically, you got most of it, but you probably miss some crucial early context.
▶️ What is period in EMA used for?
What does a period parameter really mean for EMA? When we select a 15-period EMA, we're not selecting a window of 15 data points as with an SMA. Instead, we are using that number to calculate a decay factor (α) that determines how quickly older data loses influence in EMA result. Every trader knows EMA calculation: α = 1 / (1+period) – or at least every trader claims to know this while secretly checking the formula when they need it.
Thinking in terms of "period" seriously restricts EMA. The α parameter can be - should be! - any value between 0.0 and 1.0, offering infinite tuning possibilities of the indicator. When we limit ourselves to whole-number periods that we use in FIR indicators, we can only access a small subset of possible IIR calculations – it's like having access to the entire RGB color spectrum with 16.7 million possible colors but stubbornly sticking to the 8 basic crayons in a child's first art set because the coloring book only mentioned those by name.
For example:
Period 10 → alpha = 0.1818
Period 11 → alpha = 0.1667
What about wanting an alpha of 0.17, which might yield superior returns in your strategy that uses EMA? No whole-number period can provide this! Direct α parameterization offers more precision, much like how an analog tuner lets you find the perfect radio frequency while digital presets force you to choose only from predetermined stations, potentially missing the clearest signal sitting right between channels.
Sidenote: the choice of α = 1 / (1+period) is just a convention from 1970s, probably started by J. Welles Wilder, who popularized the use of the 14-day EMA. It was designed to create an approximate equivalence between EMA and SMA over the same number of periods, even thought SMA needs a period window (as it is FIR filter) and EMA doesn't. In reality, the decay factor α in EMA should be allowed any valye between 0.0 and 1.0, not just some discrete values derived from an integer-based period! Algorithmic systems should find the best α decay for EMA directly, allowing the system to fine-tune at will and not through conversion of integer period to float α decay – though this might put a few traditionalist traders into early retirement. Well, to prevent that, most traditionalist implementations of EMA only use period and no alpha at all. Heaven forbid we disturb people who print their charts on paper, draw trendlines with rulers, and insist the market "feels different" since computers do algotrading!
▶️ Calculating EMAs Efficiently
The standard textbook formula for EMA is:
EMA = CurrentPrice × alpha + PreviousEMA × (1 - alpha)
But did you know that a more efficient version exists, once you apply a tiny bit of high school algebra:
EMA = alpha × (CurrentPrice - PreviousEMA) + PreviousEMA
The first one requires three operations: 2 multiplications + 1 addition. The second one also requires three ops: 1 multiplication + 1 addition + 1 subtraction.
That's pathetic, you say? Not worth implementing? In most computational models, multiplications cost much more than additions/subtractions – much like how ordering dessert costs more than asking for a water refill at restaurants.
Relative CPU cost of float operations :
Addition/Subtraction: ~1 cycle
Multiplication: ~5 cycles (depending on precision and architecture)
Now you see the difference? 2 * 5 + 1 = 11 against 5 + 1 + 1 = 7. That is ≈ 36.36% efficiency gain just by swapping formulas around! And making your high school math teacher proud enough to finally put your test on the refrigerator.
▶️ The Warmup Problem: how to start the EMA sequence right
How do we calculate the first EMA value when there's no previous EMA available? Let's see some possible options used throughout the history:
Start with zero : EMA(0) = 0. This creates stupidly large distortion until enough bars pass for the horrible effect to diminish – like starting a trading account with zero balance but backdating a year of missed trades, then watching your balance struggle to climb out of a phantom debt for months.
Start with first price : EMA(0) = first price. This is better than starting with zero, but still causes initial distortion that will be extra-bad if the first price is an outlier – like forming your entire opinion of a stock based solely on its IPO day price, then wondering why your model is tanking for weeks afterward.
Use SMA for warmup : This is the tradition from the pencil-and-paper era of technical analysis – when calculators were luxury items and "algorithmic trading" meant your broker had neat handwriting. We first calculate an SMA over the initial period, then kickstart the EMA with this average value. It's widely used due to tradition, not merit, creating a mathematical Frankenstein that uses an FIR filter (SMA) during the initial period before abruptly switching to an IIR filter (EMA). This methodology is so aesthetically offensive (abrupt kink on the transition from SMA to EMA) that charting platforms hide these early values entirely, pretending EMA simply doesn't exist until the warmup period passes – the technical analysis equivalent of sweeping dust under the rug.
Use WMA for warmup : This one was never popular because it is harder to calculate with a pencil - compared to using simple SMA for warmup. Weighted Moving Average provides a much better approximation of a starting value as its linear descending profile is much closer to the EMA's decay profile.
These methods all share one problem: they produce inaccurate initial values that traders often hide or discard, much like how hedge funds conveniently report awesome performance "since strategy inception" only after their disastrous first quarter has been surgically removed from the track record.
▶️ A Better Way to start EMA: Decaying compensation
Think of it this way: An ideal EMA uses an infinite history of prices, but we only have data starting from a specific point. This creates a problem - our EMA starts with an incorrect assumption that all previous prices were all zero, all close, or all average – like trying to write someone's biography but only having information about their life since last Tuesday.
But there is a better way. It requires more than high school math comprehension and is more computationally intensive, but is mathematically correct and numerically stable. This approach involves compensating calculated EMA values for the "phantom data" that would have existed before our first price point.
Here's how phantom data compensation works:
We start our normal EMA calculation:
EMA_today = EMA_yesterday + α × (Price_today - EMA_yesterday)
But we add a correction factor that adjusts for the missing history:
Correction = 1 at the start
Correction = Correction × (1-α) after each calculation
We then apply this correction:
True_EMA = Raw_EMA / (1-Correction)
This correction factor starts at 1 (full compensation effect) and gets exponentially smaller with each new price bar. After enough data points, the correction becomes so small (i.e., below 0.0000000001) that we can stop applying it as it is no longer relevant.
Let's see how this works in practice:
For the first price bar:
Raw_EMA = 0
Correction = 1
True_EMA = Price (since 0 ÷ (1-1) is undefined, we use the first price)
For the second price bar:
Raw_EMA = α × (Price_2 - 0) + 0 = α × Price_2
Correction = 1 × (1-α) = (1-α)
True_EMA = α × Price_2 ÷ (1-(1-α)) = Price_2
For the third price bar:
Raw_EMA updates using the standard formula
Correction = (1-α) × (1-α) = (1-α)²
True_EMA = Raw_EMA ÷ (1-(1-α)²)
With each new price, the correction factor shrinks exponentially. After about -log₁₀(1e-10)/log₁₀(1-α) bars, the correction becomes negligible, and our EMA calculation matches what we would get if we had infinite historical data.
This approach provides accurate EMA values from the very first calculation. There's no need to use SMA for warmup or discard early values before output converges - EMA is mathematically correct from first value, ready to party without the awkward warmup phase.
Here is Pine Script 6 implementation of EMA that can take alpha parameter directly (or period if desired), returns valid values from the start, is resilient to dirty input values, uses decaying compensator instead of SMA, and uses the least amount of computational cycles possible.
// Enhanced EMA function with proper initialization and efficient calculation
ema(series float source, simple int period=0, simple float alpha=0)=>
// Input validation - one of alpha or period must be provided
if alpha<=0 and period<=0
runtime.error("Alpha or period must be provided")
// Calculate alpha from period if alpha not directly specified
float a = alpha > 0 ? alpha : 2.0 / math.max(period, 1)
// Initialize variables for EMA calculation
var float ema = na // Stores raw EMA value
var float result = na // Stores final corrected EMA
var float e = 1.0 // Decay compensation factor
var bool warmup = true // Flag for warmup phase
if not na(source)
if na(ema)
// First value case - initialize EMA to zero
// (we'll correct this immediately with the compensation)
ema := 0
result := source
else
// Standard EMA calculation (optimized formula)
ema := a * (source - ema) + ema
if warmup
// During warmup phase, apply decay compensation
e *= (1-a) // Update decay factor
float c = 1.0 / (1.0 - e) // Calculate correction multiplier
result := c * ema // Apply correction
// Stop warmup phase when correction becomes negligible
if e <= 1e-10
warmup := false
else
// After warmup, EMA operates without correction
result := ema
result // Return the properly compensated EMA value
▶️ CONCLUSION
EMA isn't just a "better SMA"—it is a fundamentally different tool, like how a submarine differs from a sailboat – both float, but the similarities end there. EMA responds to inputs differently, weighs historical data differently, and requires different initialization techniques.
By understanding these differences, traders can make more informed decisions about when and how to use EMA in trading strategies. And as EMA is embedded in so many other complex and compound indicators and strategies, if system uses tainted and inferior EMA calculatiomn, it is doing a disservice to all derivative indicators too – like building a skyscraper on a foundation of Jell-O.
The next time you add an EMA to your chart, remember: you're not just looking at a "faster moving average." You're using an INFINITE IMPULSE RESPONSE filter that carries the echo of all previous price actions, properly weighted to help make better trading decisions.
EMA done right might significantly improve the quality of all signals, strategies, and trades that rely on EMA somewhere deep in its algorithmic bowels – proving once again that math skills are indeed useful after high school, no matter what your guidance counselor told you.
Multi SMA EMA VWAP1. Moving Average Crossover
This is one of the most common strategies with moving averages, and it involves observing crossovers between EMAs and SMAs to determine buy or sell signals.
Buy signal: When a faster EMA (like a short-term EMA) crosses above a slower SMA, it can indicate a potential upward movement.
Sell signal: When a faster EMA crosses below a slower SMA, it can indicate a potential downward movement.
With 4 EMAs and 5 SMAs, you can set up crossovers between different combinations, such as:
EMA(9) crosses above SMA(50) → buy.
EMA(9) crosses below SMA(50) → sell.
2. Divergence Confirmation Between EMAs and SMAs
Divergence between the EMAs and SMAs can offer additional confirmation. If the EMAs are pointing in one direction and the SMAs are still in the opposite direction, it is a sign that the movement could be stronger and continue in the same direction.
Positive divergence: If the EMAs are making new highs while the SMAs are still below, it could be a sign that the market is in a strong trend.
Negative divergence: If the EMAs are making new lows and the SMAs are still above, you might consider that the market is in a downtrend or correction.
3. Using EMAs as Dynamic Support and Resistance
EMAs can act as dynamic support and resistance in strong trends. If the price approaches a faster EMA from above and doesn’t break it, it could be a good entry point for a long position (buy). If the price approaches a slower EMA from below and doesn't break it, it could be a good point to sell (short).
Buy: If the price is above all EMAs and approaches the fastest EMA (e.g., EMA(9)), it could be a good buy point if the price bounces upward.
Sell: If the price is below all EMAs and approaches the fastest EMA, it could be a good sell point if the price bounces downward.
4. Combining SMAs and EMAs to Filter Signals
SMAs can serve as a trend filter to avoid trading in sideways markets. For example:
Bullish trend condition: If the longer-term SMAs (such as SMA(100) or SMA(200)) are below the price, and the shorter EMAs are aligned upward, you can look for buy signals.
Bearish trend condition: If the longer-term SMAs are above the price and the shorter EMAs are aligned downward, you can look for sell signals.
5. Consolidation Zone Between EMAs and SMAs
When the price moves between EMAs and SMAs without a clear trend (consolidation zone), you can expect a breakout. In this case, you can use the EMAs and SMAs to identify the direction of the breakout:
If the price is in a narrow range between the EMAs and SMAs and then breaks above the fastest EMA, it’s a sign that an upward trend may begin.
If the price breaks below the fastest EMA, it could indicate a potential downward trend.
6. "Golden Cross" and "Death Cross" Strategy
These are classic strategies based on crossovers between moving averages of different periods.
Golden Cross: Occurs when a faster EMA (e.g., EMA(50)) crosses above a slower SMA (e.g., SMA(200)), which suggests a potential bullish trend.
Death Cross: Occurs when a faster EMA crosses below a slower SMA, which suggests a potential bearish trend.
Additional Recommendations:
Combining with other indicators: You can combine EMA and SMA signals with other indicators like the RSI (Relative Strength Index) or MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence) for confirmation and to avoid false signals.
Risk management: Always use stop-loss and take-profit orders to protect your capital. Moving averages are trend-following indicators but don’t guarantee that the price will move in the same direction.
Timeframe analysis: It’s recommended to use different timeframes to confirm the trend (e.g., use EMAs on hourly charts along with SMAs on daily charts).
VWAP
1. VWAP + EMAs for Trend Confirmation
VWAP can act as a trend filter, confirming the direction provided by the EMAs.
Buy Signal: If the price is above the VWAP and the EMAs are aligned in an uptrend (e.g., short-term EMAs are above longer-term EMAs), this indicates that the trend is bullish and you can look for buy opportunities.
Sell Signal: If the price is below the VWAP and the EMAs are aligned in a downtrend (e.g., short-term EMAs are below longer-term EMAs), this suggests a bearish trend and you can look for sell opportunities.
In this case, VWAP is used to confirm the overall trend. For example:
Bullish: Price above VWAP, EMAs aligned to the upside (e.g., EMA(9) > EMA(50) > EMA(200)), buy.
Bearish: Price below VWAP, EMAs aligned to the downside (e.g., EMA(9) < EMA(50) < EMA(200)), sell.
2. VWAP as Dynamic Support and Resistance
VWAP can act as a dynamic support or resistance level during the day. Combining this with EMAs and SMAs helps you refine your entry and exit points.
Support: If the price is above VWAP and starts pulling back to VWAP, it could act as support. If the price bounces off the VWAP and aligns with bullish EMAs (e.g., EMA(9) crossing above EMA(50)), you can consider entering a buy position.
Resistance: If the price is below VWAP and approaches VWAP from below, it can act as resistance. If the price fails to break through VWAP and aligns with bearish EMAs (e.g., EMA(9) crossing below EMA(50)), it could be a good signal for a sell.
Quadruple EMA (QEMA)The Quadruple Exponential Moving Average (QEMA) is an advanced technical indicator that extends the concept of lag reduction beyond TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average) to a fourth order. By applying a sophisticated four-stage EMA cascade with optimized coefficient distribution, QEMA provides the ultimate evolution in EMA-based lag reduction techniques.
Unlike traditional compund moving averages like DEMA and TEMA, QEMA implements a progressive smoothing system that strategically distributes alphas across four EMA stages and combines them with balanced coefficients (4, -6, 4, -1). This approach creates an indicator that responds extremely quickly to price changes while still maintaining sufficient smoothness to be useful for trading decisions. QEMA is particularly valuable for traders who need the absolute minimum lag possible in trend identification.
▶️ **Core Concepts**
Fourth-order processing: Extends the EMA cascade to four stages for maximum possible lag reduction while maintaining a useful signal
Progressive alpha system: Uses mathematically derived ratio-based alpha progression to balance responsiveness across all four EMA stages
Optimized coefficients: Employs calculated weights (4, -6, 4, -1) to effectively eliminate lag while preserving compound signal stability
Numerical stability control: Implements initialization and alpha distribution to ensure consistent results from the first calculation bar
QEMA achieves its exceptional lag reduction by combining four progressive EMAs with mathematically optimized coefficients. The formula is designed to maximize responsiveness while minimizing the overshoot problems that typically occur with aggressive lag reduction techniques. The implementation uses a ratio-based alpha progression that ensures each EMA stage contributes appropriately to the final result.
▶️ **Common Settings and Parameters**
Period: Default: 15| Base smoothing period | When to Adjust: Decrease for extremely fast signals, increase for more stable output
Alpha: Default: auto | Direct control of base smoothing factor | When to Adjust: Manual setting allows precise tuning beyond standard period settings
Source: Default: Close | Data point used for calculation | When to Adjust: Change to HL2 or HLC3 for more balanced price representation
Pro Tip: Professional traders often use QEMA with longer periods than other moving averages (e.g., QEMA(20) instead of EMA(10)) since its extreme lag reduction provides earlier signals even with longer periods.
▶️ **Calculation and Mathematical Foundation**
Simplified explanation:
QEMA works by calculating four EMAs in sequence, with each EMA taking the previous one as input. It then combines these EMAs using balancing weights (4, -6, 4, -1) to create a moving average with extremely minimal lag and high level of smoothness. The alpha factors for each EMA are progressively adjusted using a mathematical ratio to ensure balanced responsiveness across all stages.
Technical formula:
QEMA = 4 × EMA₁ - 6 × EMA₂ + 4 × EMA₃ - EMA₄
Where:
EMA₁ = EMA(source, α₁)
EMA₂ = EMA(EMA₁, α₂)
EMA₃ = EMA(EMA₂, α₃)
EMA₄ = EMA(EMA₃, α₄)
α₁ = 2/(period + 1) is the base smoothing factor
r = (1/α₁)^(1/3) is the derived ratio
α₂ = α₁ × r, α₃ = α₂ × r, α₄ = α₃ × r are the progressive alphas
Mathematical Rationale for the Alpha Cascade:
The QEMA indicator employs a specific geometric progression for its smoothing factors (alphas) across the four EMA stages. This design is intentional and aims to optimize the filter's performance. The ratio between alphas is **r = (1/α₁)^(1/3)** - derived from the cube root of the reciprocal of the base alpha.
For typical smoothing (α₁ < 1), this results in a sequence of increasing alpha values (α₁ < α₂ < α₃ < α₄), meaning that subsequent EMAs in the cascade are progressively faster (less smoothed). This specific progression, when combined with the QEMA coefficients (4, -6, 4, -1), is chosen for the following reasons:
1. Optimized Frequency Response:
Using the same alpha for all EMA stages (as in a naive multi-EMA approach) can lead to an uneven frequency response, potentially causing over-shooting of certain frequencies or creating undesirable resonance. The geometric progression of alphas in QEMA helps to create a more balanced and controlled filter response across a wider range of movement frequencies. Each stage's contribution to the overall filtering characteristic is more harmonized.
2. Minimized Phase Lag:
A key goal of QEMA is extreme lag reduction. The specific alpha cascade, particularly the relationship defined by **r**, is designed to minimize the cumulative phase lag introduced by the four smoothing stages, while still providing effective noise reduction. Faster subsequent EMAs contribute to this reduced lag.
🔍 Technical Note: The ratio-based alpha progression is crucial for balanced response. The ratio r is calculated as the cube root of 1/α₁, ensuring that the combined effect of all four EMAs creates a mathematically optimal response curve. All EMAs are initialized with the first source value rather than using progressive initialization, eliminating warm-up artifacts and providing consistent results from the first bar.
▶️ **Interpretation Details**
QEMA provides several key insights for traders:
When price crosses above QEMA, it signals the beginning of an uptrend with minimal delay
When price crosses below QEMA, it signals the beginning of a downtrend with minimal delay
The slope of QEMA provides immediate insight into trend direction and momentum
QEMA responds to price reversals significantly faster than other moving averages
Multiple QEMA lines with different periods can identify immediate support/resistance levels
QEMA is particularly valuable in fast-moving markets and for short-term trading strategies where speed of signal generation is critical. It excels at capturing the very beginning of trends and identifying reversals earlier than any other EMA-derived indicator. This makes it especially useful for breakout trading and scalping strategies where getting in early is essential.
▶️ **Limitations and Considerations**
Market conditions: Can generate excessive signals in choppy, sideways markets due to its extreme responsiveness
Overshooting: The aggressive lag reduction can create some overshooting during sharp reversals
Calculation complexity: Requires four separate EMA calculations plus coefficient application, making it computationally more intensive
Parameter sensitivity: Small changes in the base alpha or period can significantly alter behavior
Complementary tools: Should be used with momentum indicators or volatility filters to confirm signals and reduce false positives

3 EMA + RSI with Trail Stop [Free990] (LOW TF)This trading strategy combines three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to identify trend direction, uses RSI to signal exit conditions, and applies both a fixed percentage stop-loss and a trailing stop for risk management. It aims to capture momentum when the faster EMAs cross the slower EMA, then uses RSI thresholds, time-based exits, and stops to close trades.
Short Explanation of the Logic
Trend Detection: When the 10 EMA crosses above the 20 EMA and both are above the 100 EMA (and the current price bar closes higher), it triggers a long entry signal. The reverse happens for a short (the 10 EMA crosses below the 20 EMA and both are below the 100 EMA).
RSI Exit: RSI crossing above a set threshold closes long trades; crossing below another threshold closes short trades.
Time-Based Exit: If a trade is in profit after a set number of bars, the strategy closes it.
Stop-Loss & Trailing Stop: A fixed stop-loss based on a percentage from the entry price guards against large drawdowns. A trailing stop dynamically tightens as the trade moves in favor, locking in potential gains.
Detailed Explanation of the Strategy Logic
Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Setup
Short EMA (out_a, length=10)
Medium EMA (out_b, length=20)
Long EMA (out_c, length=100)
The code calculates three separate EMAs to gauge short-term, medium-term, and longer-term trend behavior. By comparing their relative positions, the strategy infers whether the market is bullish (EMAs stacked positively) or bearish (EMAs stacked negatively).
Entry Conditions
Long Entry (entryLong): Occurs when:
The short EMA (10) crosses above the medium EMA (20).
Both EMAs (short and medium) are above the long EMA (100).
The current bar closes higher than it opened (close > open).
This suggests that momentum is shifting to the upside (short-term EMAs crossing up and price action turning bullish). If there’s an existing short position, it’s closed first before opening a new long.
Short Entry (entryShort): Occurs when:
The short EMA (10) crosses below the medium EMA (20).
Both EMAs (short and medium) are below the long EMA (100).
The current bar closes lower than it opened (close < open).
This indicates a potential shift to the downside. If there’s an existing long position, that gets closed first before opening a new short.
Exit Signals
RSI-Based Exits:
For long trades: When RSI exceeds a specified threshold (e.g., 70 by default), it triggers a long exit. RSI > short_rsi generally means overbought conditions, so the strategy exits to lock in profits or avoid a pullback.
For short trades: When RSI dips below a specified threshold (e.g., 30 by default), it triggers a short exit. RSI < long_rsi indicates oversold conditions, so the strategy closes the short to avoid a bounce.
Time-Based Exit:
If the trade has been open for xBars bars (configurable, e.g., 24 bars) and the trade is in profit (current price above entry for a long, or current price below entry for a short), the strategy closes the position. This helps lock in gains if the move takes too long or momentum stalls.
Stop-Loss Management
Fixed Stop-Loss (% Based): Each trade has a fixed stop-loss calculated as a percentage from the average entry price.
For long positions, the stop-loss is set below the entry price by a user-defined percentage (fixStopLossPerc).
For short positions, the stop-loss is set above the entry price by the same percentage.
This mechanism prevents catastrophic losses if the market moves strongly against the position.
Trailing Stop:
The strategy also sets a trail stop using trail_points (the distance in price points) and trail_offset (how quickly the stop “catches up” to price).
As the market moves in favor of the trade, the trailing stop gradually tightens, allowing profits to run while still capping potential drawdowns if the price reverses.
Order Execution Flow
When the conditions for a new position (long or short) are triggered, the strategy first checks if there’s an opposite position open. If there is, it closes that position before opening the new one (prevents going “both long and short” simultaneously).
RSI-based and time-based exits are checked on each bar. If triggered, the position is closed.
If the position remains open, the fixed stop-loss and trailing stop remain in effect until the position is exited.
Why This Combination Works
Multiple EMA Cross: Combining 10, 20, and 100 EMAs balances short-term momentum detection with a longer-term trend filter. This reduces false signals that can occur if you only look at a single crossover without considering the broader trend.
RSI Exits: RSI provides a momentum oscillator view—helpful for detecting overbought/oversold conditions, acting as an extra confirmation to exit.
Time-Based Exit: Prevents “lingering trades.” If the position is in profit but failing to advance further, it takes profit rather than risking a trend reversal.
Fixed & Trailing Stop-Loss: The fixed stop-loss is your safety net to cap worst-case losses. The trailing stop allows the strategy to lock in gains by following the trade as it moves favorably, thus maximizing profit potential while keeping risk in check.
Overall, this approach tries to capture momentum from EMA crossovers, protect profits with trailing stops, and limit risk through both a fixed percentage stop-loss and exit signals from RSI/time-based logic.
Fourier Transformed & Kalman Filtered EMA Crossover [Mattes]The Fourier Transformed & Kalman Filtered EMA Crossover (FTKF EMAC) is a trend-following indicator that leverages Fourier Transform approximation, Kalman Filtration, and two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) of different lengths to provide accurate and smooth market trend signals. By combining these three components, it captures the underlying market cycles, reduces noise, and produces actionable insights, making it suitable for detecting both emerging trends and confirming existing ones.
TECHNICALITIES:
>>> The Fourier Transform approximation is designed to identify dominant cyclical patterns in price action by focusing on key frequencies, while filtering out noise and less significant movements. It emphasizes the most meaningful price cycles, enabling the indicator to isolate important trends while ignoring minor fluctuations. This cyclical awareness adds an extra layer of depth to trend detection, allowing the EMAs to work with a cleaner and more reliable data set.
>>> The Kalman Filter adds dynamic noise reduction, adjusting its predictions of future price trends based on past and current data. As new price data comes in, the filter recalibrates itself to ensure that the price action remains smooth and devoid of erratic movements. This real-time adjustment is key to minimizing lag while avoiding false signals, which ensures that the EMAs react to more accurate and stable market data. The Kalman Filter’s ability to smooth price data without losing sensitivity to trend changes complements the Fourier approximation, ensuring a high level of precision in volatile and stable market environments.
>>> The EMA Crossover involves using two EMAs: a shorter EMA that reacts quickly to price movements and a longer EMA that responds more slowly. The shorter EMA is responsible for capturing immediate market shifts, detecting potential bullish or bearish trends. The longer EMA smooths out price fluctuations and provides trend confirmation, working with the shorter EMA to ensure the signals are reliable. When the shorter EMA crosses above the longer EMA, it indicates a bullish trend, likewise when it goes below the longer EMA, it signals a bearish trend. This setup provides a clear way to track market direction, with color-coded signals (green for bullish, red for bearish) for visual clarity. The flexibility of adjusting the EMA periods allows traders to fine-tune the indicator to their preferred timeframe and strategy, making it adaptable to different market conditions.
|-> A key technical aspect is that the first EMA should always be shorter than the second one. If the first EMA is longer than the second, the tool’s effectiveness is compromised because the faster EMA is designed to signal long conditions, while the longer one is made for signaling a bearish trend. Reversing their roles would lead to delayed or confused signals, reducing the indicator’s ability to detect trend shifts early and making it less efficient in volatile markets. This is the only key weakness of the indicator, failure to submit to this rule will result in confusion.
>>> These components work together like a clock to create a comprehensive and effective trend-following system. The Fourier approximation highlights key cyclical movements, the Kalman Filter refines these movements by removing noise, and the EMAs interpret the filtered data to generate actionable trend signals. Each component enhances the next, ensuring that the final output is both responsive and reliable, with minimal false signals or lag. creating an indicator using widespread concepts which haven't been combined before.
Summary
This indicator combines Fourier Transform approximation, Kalman Filtration, and two EMAs of different lengths to deliver accurate and timely trend-following signals. The Fourier approximation identifies dominant market cycles, while the Kalman Filter dynamically removes noise and refines the price data in real time. The two EMAs then use this filtered data to generate buy and sell signals based on their crossovers. The shorter EMA reacts quickly to price changes, while the longer EMA provides smoother trend confirmation. The components work in synergy to capture trends with minimal false signals or lag, ensuring traders can act promptly on market shifts. Customizable EMA periods make the tool adaptable to different market conditions, enhancing its versatility for various trading strategies.
To use the indicator, traders should adjust the EMA lengths based on their timeframe and strategy, ensuring that the shorter EMA remains shorter than the longer EMA to preserve the tool’s responsiveness. The color-coded signals offer visual clarity, making it easy to identify potential entry and exit points. This confluence of Fourier, Kalman, and EMA methodologies provides a smooth, highly effective trend-following tool that excels in both trending and ranging markets.
Dema Ema Crossover | viResearchDema Ema Crossover | viResearch
Conceptual Foundation and Innovation
The "Dema Ema Crossover" indicator combines the strengths of the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) with an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crossover strategy. The DEMA is well-known for its ability to reduce lag compared to standard moving averages, offering smoother trend-following signals. In this script, the DEMA is used as the foundation, with two EMAs applied on top of it to further refine the trend detection and crossover points. This combination provides traders with a robust tool for identifying trend shifts and potential entry or exit points.
By leveraging the faster responsiveness of the DEMA and using EMA crossovers, the "Dema Ema Crossover" indicator helps traders detect and act on trend reversals more efficiently, making it a powerful solution for capturing both short- and long-term market movements.
Technical Composition and Calculation
The "Dema Ema Crossover" script consists of three main components: the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA), the fast EMA, and the slow EMA. The DEMA is calculated based on the selected length and source price, providing a smooth representation of market trends. Two EMAs are then applied to the DEMA, with one being faster (shorter period) and the other slower (longer period). The crossover between these two EMAs generates the signals for trend changes.
For the DEMA, the calculation uses the ta.dema function, which reduces lag while maintaining smoothness in the moving average. The fast and slow EMAs are calculated using the ta.ema function, with the fast EMA responding more quickly to price changes, while the slow EMA captures broader trends. The crossover between these two EMAs is used to generate buy and sell signals based on the direction of the crossover.
Features and User Inputs
The "Dema Ema Crossover" script offers several customizable inputs that allow traders to tailor the indicator to their trading strategies. The DEMA Length controls how smooth the DEMA is, with a longer length creating a slower-moving average and a shorter length providing a more responsive one. The Fast EMA Length and Slow EMA Length are also customizable, allowing traders to adjust the sensitivity of the crossover signals based on their market outlook and preferred trading timeframe.
Practical Applications
The "Dema Ema Crossover" indicator is designed for traders looking for a reliable crossover strategy that combines the responsiveness of the DEMA with the precision of EMA crossovers. This tool is particularly effective for:
Identifying Trend Reversals: The crossover between the fast and slow EMAs applied to the DEMA provides early signals of potential trend reversals, allowing traders to position themselves in the market more effectively. Confirming Trend Direction: The combined effect of the DEMA and EMA crossovers helps confirm the strength of a trend, improving decision-making around trade entries and exits. Adapting to Different Market Conditions: The customizable parameters allow traders to adjust the sensitivity of the crossover signals, making the indicator suitable for both fast-moving markets and slower, trending environments.
Advantages and Strategic Value
The "Dema Ema Crossover" script offers a significant advantage by combining the smoothness of the DEMA with the accuracy of EMA crossovers. The DEMA’s ability to reduce lag while maintaining responsiveness makes it ideal for trend-following strategies, while the crossover between the fast and slow EMAs provides precise entry and exit points. This combination reduces false signals and helps traders adapt to changing market conditions, resulting in a more reliable and efficient trend-following system.
Alerts and Visual Cues
The script includes alert conditions to notify traders of key crossover events. The "Dema Ema Crossover Long" alert is triggered when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, signaling a potential upward trend. Conversely, the "Dema Ema Crossover Short" alert signals a possible downward trend when the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA. Visual cues such as colored fills between the two EMAs highlight these crossover points on the chart, helping traders quickly identify trend shifts.
Summary and Usage Tips
The "Dema Ema Crossover | viResearch" indicator provides traders with a powerful combination of the DEMA and EMA crossovers, offering a smooth yet responsive tool for detecting trend reversals and confirming trend direction.

VHX EMA 135/315📈 EMA 135/315 Cross Strategy – Your Trend Compass with Smart Confirmations
🔍 Core Idea
The EMA 135/315 Cross strategy is a trend-following system.
It tracks two moving averages:
EMA 135 → the “fast” line that reacts to short-term price moves
EMA 315 → the “slow” line that reacts to the bigger trend
When the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA → market momentum is turning up → BUY signal 🟢
When the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA → momentum is turning down → SELL signal 🔴
This gives you a clear entry trigger — no guessing, no overcomplication.
✨ On Your Chart
BUY/SELL Arrows
🟢 Green arrow = bullish cross → trend turning up
🔴 Red arrow = bearish cross → trend turning down
Trend Info Panel (Top Left)
Current Trend: BUY / SELL / Neutral

Saves time — you instantly see your target and protection
EMA Distance Meter
Big % gap = strong trend momentum 🚀
Small % gap = weak or sideways market ⚠️
Real-Time Alerts
You get notified when a cross happens, even if you’re away from the screen
🧠 The Logic Behind It
The EMA 135 reacts faster → it reflects short-term momentum
The EMA 315 moves slower → it reflects the main trend
When the fast EMA overtakes the slow EMA: short-term strength now aligns with the long-term trend → higher probability of a sustained move
The gap % tells you how strong the alignment is — large gap = cleaner moves, small gap = market in transition
“Approaching” status warns that the EMAs are converging, which often happens before a reversal
📊 Boosting the Strategy with Volume Analysis
The EMA cross is a strong trigger, but volume confirms the quality of the move:
High Volume + Cross → more reliable signal, as strong market participation is pushing the trend
Low Volume + Cross → caution, the move might be weak or a false breakout
💡 Tip:
Check the volume histogram or a volume-based indicator (e.g., Volume Profile, OBV).
On a BUY signal: volume should spike above the recent average.
On a SELL signal: watch for strong selling volume bars.
📍 Adding Support & Resistance for Precision
Support and resistance levels help filter out bad trades and optimize entries:
Best BUY setups:
EMA 135 crosses above EMA 315 near a known support zone
Bonus if volume confirms the move
Avoid buying directly into a strong resistance
Best SELL setups:
EMA 135 crosses below EMA 315 near a known resistance zone
Bonus if selling volume is strong
Avoid selling directly into a major support
💡 Use tools like horizontal lines, previous highs/lows, and Volume Profile nodes to spot these zones.
📈 Best Usage Practices
Timeframes
Lower timeframes (1m–5m) → more signals, but more noise → best for scalping with extra filters
Always Combine With Confirmation
EMA Cross = Trigger
Volume spike = Confirmation
S/R zone in your favor = High-probability setup
Manage Risk
Start with the built-in TP/SL
Adjust SL if volatility is higher than usual
Consider trailing stop once price moves in your favor
Avoid Sideways Markets
If EMA gap % is very small and crosses happen often → stand aside until a clear direction forms
Use Alerts
Set alerts for BUY & SELL crosses so you never miss a setup
In short:
This isn’t just an EMA cross indicator — it’s a trend system with built-in risk management, strength measurement, and pre-trade preparation. Combine it with volume confirmation and smart use of support/resistance, and you turn a simple signal into a high-probability trading edge.

EMA RSI Trend Reversal Ver.1Overview:
The EMA RSI Trend Reversal indicator combines the power of two well-known technical indicators—Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI)—to identify potential trend reversal points in the market. The strategy looks for key crossovers between the fast and slow EMAs, and uses the RSI to confirm the strength of the trend. This combination helps to avoid false signals during sideways market conditions.
How It Works:
Buy Signal:
The Fast EMA (9) crosses above the Slow EMA (21), indicating a potential shift from a downtrend to an uptrend.
The RSI is above 50, confirming strong bullish momentum.
Visual Signal: A green arrow below the price bar and a Buy label are plotted on the chart.
Sell Signal:
The Fast EMA (9) crosses below the Slow EMA (21), indicating a potential shift from an uptrend to a downtrend.
The RSI is below 50, confirming weak or bearish momentum.
Visual Signal: A red arrow above the price bar and a Sell label are plotted on the chart.
Key Features:
EMA Crossovers: The Fast EMA crossing above the Slow EMA signals potential buying opportunities, while the Fast EMA crossing below the Slow EMA signals potential selling opportunities.
RSI Confirmation: The RSI helps confirm trend strength—values above 50 indicate bullish momentum, while values below 50 indicate bearish momentum.
Visual Cues: The strategy uses green arrows and red arrows along with Buy and Sell labels for clear visual signals of when to enter or exit trades.
Signal Interpretation:
Green Arrow / Buy Label: The Fast EMA (9) has crossed above the Slow EMA (21), and the RSI is above 50. This is a signal to buy or enter a long position.
Red Arrow / Sell Label: The Fast EMA (9) has crossed below the Slow EMA (21), and the RSI is below 50. This is a signal to sell or exit the long position.
Strategy Settings:
Fast EMA Length: Set to 9 (this determines how sensitive the fast EMA is to recent price movements).
Slow EMA Length: Set to 21 (this smooths out price movements to identify the broader trend).
RSI Length: Set to 14 (default setting to track momentum strength).
RSI Level: Set to 50 (used to confirm the strength of the trend—above 50 for buy signals, below 50 for sell signals).
Risk Management (Optional):
Use take profit and stop loss based on your preferred risk-to-reward ratio. For example, you can set a 2:1 risk-to-reward ratio (2x take profit for every 1x stop loss).
Backtesting and Optimization:
Backtest the strategy on TradingView by opening the Strategy Tester tab. This will allow you to see how the strategy would have performed on historical data.
Optimization: Adjust the EMA lengths, RSI period, and risk-to-reward settings based on your asset and time frame.
Limitations:
False Signals in Sideways Markets: Like any trend-following strategy, this indicator may generate false signals during periods of low volatility or sideways movement.
Not Suitable for All Market Conditions: This indicator performs best in trending markets. It may underperform in choppy or range-bound markets.
Strategy Example:
XRP/USD Example:
If you're trading XRP/USD and the Fast EMA (9) crosses above the Slow EMA (21), while the RSI is above 50, the indicator will signal a Buy.
Conversely, if the Fast EMA (9) crosses below the Slow EMA (21), and the RSI is below 50, the indicator will signal a Sell.
Bitcoin (BTC/USD):
On the BTC/USD chart, when the indicator shows a green arrow and a Buy label, it’s signaling a potential long entry. Similarly, a red arrow and Sell label indicate a short entry or exit from a previous long position.
Summary:
The EMA RSI Trend Reversal Indicator helps traders identify potential trend reversals with clear buy and sell signals based on the EMA crossovers and RSI confirmations. By using green arrows and red arrows, along with Buy and Sell labels, this strategy offers easy-to-understand visual signals for entering and exiting trades. Combine this with effective risk management and backtesting to optimize your trading performance.

EMA Ribbon - Adjustable with Toggles📌 Script Name:
EMA Ribbon - Adjustable with Toggles
🧠 Primary Function:
This script plots a customizable Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon on Trading View charts. It allows the user to enable or disable any of the 8 EMAs individually and shows buy/sell signals based on the crossover between the fastest and slowest EMAs.
⚙️ Key Features:
✅ User Controls:
Toggle ON/OFF each of the 8 EMAs independently.
Set the length of each EMA (from 1 upward).
EMA colors vary based on their speed (green for faster, orange for slower).
📈 EMA Calculation:
Calculates 8 separate EMAs using the closing price (close).
🎨 Chart Visualization:
Plots each EMA with a unique color and transparency.
Draws a colored ribbon between the highest and lowest active EMAs to visualize trend zones.
📊 Trend Direction Logic:
The trend is determined solely based on EMA 1 (fastest) and EMA 8 (slowest).
A bullish trend is when EMA 1 > EMA 8, and bearish when EMA 1 < EMA 8.
📍 Buy/Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: When the trend shifts from bearish to bullish (EMA 1 crosses above EMA 8).
Sell Signal: When the trend shifts from bullish to bearish (EMA 1 crosses below EMA 8).
Signals are displayed as green (buy) and red (sell) triangles on the chart.
🔔 Alerts:
Built-in alert conditions for buy and sell signals.
Custom alert messages in Arabic (can be modified if needed).
🌟 Additional Highlights:
Well-structured and easy to expand.
Great for trend-following strategies using EMA ribbons.
Helps identify consolidation zones and trend confirmation.
Triple EMA Trend TP Strategy (Filtered Entries + Dynamic Exit)Overview
The Triple EMA Trend TP Strategy is a robust trend-following approach designed for clear, disciplined entries and exits. It leverages a triple EMA crossover for entry signals, combined with a long‑term SMA trend filter, a fixed take‑profit percentage, and a dynamic dual‑EMA exit mechanism to optimize performance and risk management.
Key Features
Triple EMA Crossover Entry
Detects momentum shifts by waiting for the fast EMA to cross above the slow EMA, signaling bullish momentum buildup.
Trend Filter (SMA)
Ensures trades are only taken when price is above the long-term trend (SMA), filtering out low-probability setups.
Take Profit (TP)
Applies a customizable fixed TP, e.g., defaulting to 9.8%, allowing disciplined profit-taking.
Dual EMA Exit
Uses two EMAs on a separate exit logic—if the short exit EMA undercuts the mid exit EMA, the strategy closes the position.
Adjustable Parameters
All key lengths—including fast, mid, slow entry EMAs, trend SMA, exit EMAs, and TP percentage—are user-configurable to suit different assets and timeframes.
Date Range Control
Users can define a backtest window with start and end dates, preventing misleading performance outside intended periods.
Flexible Position Management
Supports full‑equity position sizing, pyramiding up to 10 entries, and runs every tick for high precision.
Setup & Inputs
fastLen: Entry Fast EMA
midLen: Entry Mid EMA
slowLen: Entry Slow EMA
trendLen: Trend Filter SMA
tpPercent: Take Profit Percentage
exitFastLen: Exit Fast EMA
exitMidLen: Exit Mid EMA
startDate / endDate: Backtest time range
Why This Strategy Stands Out
This strategy marries classic trend-following principles with modern risk-control tactics, making it both intuitive and advanced. It balances aggressive entry signals with safety checks via trend validation and layered exit logic. The inclusion of a TP ensures profits are locked in, while the dual EMA exit adds adaptive flexibility to close positions when momentum fades.
How to Use & Customize
Configure Inputs
Adjust EMAs, trend length, and TP percentage to fit your asset and timeframe. For example, shorter EMAs suit intraday trading; longer ones work well for swing strategies.
Set Backtest Range
Use the start/end date fields to limit your testing to the most relevant data, reducing noise from irrelevant market periods.
Backtest & Optimize
Review the Strategy Tester’s performance metrics—Equity curve, drawdown, profit factor, trade list—to assess effectiveness.
Fine‑Tune
Tweak TP, EMAs, or trend length to optimize drawdowns, win rate, or return profile.
200 EMA w/ Ticker Memory200 EMA w/ Ticker Memory — Multi-Symbol & Multi-Timeframe EMA Tracker with Alerts
Overview
The 200 EMA w/ Ticker Memory indicator allows you to monitor the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) across multiple symbols and timeframes. Designed for traders managing multiple tickers, it provides customizable timeframe inputs per symbol and instant alerts on price touches of the 200 EMA.
Key Features
Multi-symbol support: Configure up to 20 different symbols, each with its own timeframe setting.
Flexible timeframe input: Assign specific timeframes per symbol or use a default timeframe fallback.
Accurate 200 EMA calculation: Uses request.security to fetch 200 EMA from the symbol-specific timeframe.
Visual EMA plots: Displays both the EMA on the selected timeframe and the EMA on the current chart timeframe for comparison.
Touch alerts: Configurable alerts when price “touches” the 200 EMA within a user-defined sensitivity percentage.
Ticker memory: Remembers your configured symbols and displays them in an on-chart table.
Compact info table: Displays current symbol status, alert settings, and timeframe in a clean, transparent table overlay.
How to Use
Configure Symbols and Timeframes:
Input your desired symbols (up to 20) and their respective timeframes under the “Symbol Settings” groups in the indicator’s settings pane.
Set Default Timeframe:
Choose a default timeframe to be used when no specific timeframe is assigned for a symbol.
Adjust Alert Settings:
Enable or disable alerts and set the touch sensitivity (% distance from EMA to trigger alerts).
Alerts
Alerts trigger once per bar when the price touches the 200 EMA within the defined sensitivity threshold.
Alert messages include:
Symbol / Current price / EMA value / EMA timeframe used / Chart timeframe / Timestamp
Customization
200 EMA Color: Change the line color for better visibility.
Touch Sensitivity: Fine-tune how close price must be to the EMA to count as a touch (default 0.1%).
Enable Touch Alerts: Turn on/off alert notifications easily.
For:
- Swing traders monitoring multiple stocks or assets.
- Day traders watching key EMA levels on different timeframes.
- Analysts requiring a quick visual and alert system for 200 EMA touches.
- Portfolio managers tracking key technical levels across various securities.
Limitations
Supports up to 20 configured symbols (can be extended manually if needed).
Works best on charts with reasonable bar frequency due to request.security usage.
Alert frequency is limited to once per bar for clarity.

Consecutive Candles Above/Below EMADescription:
This indicator identifies and highlights periods where the price remains consistently above or below an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for a user-defined number of consecutive candles. It visually marks these sustained trends with background colors and labels, helping traders spot strong bullish or bearish market conditions. Ideal for trend-following strategies or identifying potential trend exhaustion points, this tool provides clear visual cues for price behavior relative to the EMA.
How It Works:
EMA Calculation: The indicator calculates an EMA based on the user-specified period (default: 100). The EMA is plotted as a blue line on the chart for reference.
Consecutive Candle Tracking: It counts how many consecutive candles close above or below the EMA:
If a candle closes below the EMA, the "below" counter increments; any candle closing above resets it to zero.
If a candle closes above the EMA, the "above" counter increments; any candle closing below resets it to zero.
Highlighting Trends: When the number of consecutive candles above or below the EMA meets or exceeds the user-defined threshold (default: 200 candles):
A translucent red background highlights periods where the price has been below the EMA.
A translucent green background highlights periods where the price has been above the EMA.
Labeling: When the required number of consecutive candles is first reached:
A red downward arrow label with the text "↓ Below" appears for below-EMA streaks.
A green upward arrow label with the text "↑ Above" appears for above-EMA streaks.
Usage:
Trend Confirmation: Use the highlights and labels to confirm strong trends. For example, 200 candles above the EMA may indicate a robust uptrend.
Reversal Signals: Prolonged streaks (e.g., 200+ candles) might suggest overextension, potentially signaling reversals.
Customization: Adjust the EMA period to make it faster or slower, and modify the candle count to make the indicator more or less sensitive to trends.
Settings:
EMA Length: Set the period for the EMA calculation (default: 100).
Candles Count: Define the minimum number of consecutive candles required to trigger highlights and labels (default: 200).
Visuals:
Blue EMA line for tracking the moving average.
Red background for sustained below-EMA periods.
Green background for sustained above-EMA periods.
Labeled arrows to mark when the streak threshold is met.
This indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to visualize and capitalize on persistent price trends relative to the EMA, with clear, customizable signals for market analysis.

Adv EMA Cloud v6 (ADX, Alerts)Summary:
This indicator provides a multi-faceted view of market trends using Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) arranged in visually intuitive clouds, enhanced with an optional ADX-based range filter and configurable alerts for key market conditions. It aims to help traders quickly gauge trend alignment across short, medium, and long timeframes while filtering signals during potentially choppy market conditions.
Key Features:
Multiple EMAs: Displays 10-period (Fast), 20-period (Mid), and 50-period (Slow) EMAs.
Long-Term Trend Filter: Includes a 200-period EMA to provide context for the overall dominant trend direction.
Dual EMA Clouds:
Fast/Mid Cloud (10/20 EMA): Fills the area between the 10 and 20 EMAs. Defaults to Green when 10 > 20 (bullish short-term momentum) and Red when 10 < 20 (bearish short-term momentum).
Mid/Slow Cloud (20/50 EMA): Fills the area between the 20 and 50 EMAs. Defaults to Aqua when 20 > 50 (bullish mid-term trend) and Fuchsia when 20 < 50 (bearish mid-term trend).
Optional ADX Range Filter: Uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) to identify potentially non-trending or choppy markets. When enabled and ADX falls below a user-defined threshold, the EMA clouds will turn grey, visually warning that trend-following signals may be less reliable.
Configurable Alerts: Provides several built-in alert conditions using Pine Script's alertcondition function:
Confluence Condition: Triggers when a 10/20 EMA crossover occurs while both EMA clouds show alignment (both bullish/green/aqua or both bearish/red/fuchsia) and price respects the 200 EMA filter and the ADX filter indicates a trend (if filters are enabled).
MA Filter Cross: Triggers when price crosses above or below the 200 EMA filter line.
Full Alignment Start: Triggers on the first bar where full bullish or bearish alignment occurs (both clouds aligned + MA filter respected + ADX trending, if filters are enabled).
How It Works:
EMA Calculation: Standard Exponential Moving Averages are calculated for the 10, 20, 50, and 200 periods based on the closing price.
Cloud Creation: The fill() function visually shades the area between the 10 & 20 EMAs and the 20 & 50 EMAs.
Cloud Coloring: The color of each cloud is determined by the relationship between the two EMAs that define it (e.g., if EMA 10 is above EMA 20, the first cloud is bullish-colored).
ADX Filter Logic: The script calculates the ADX value. If the "Use ADX Trend Filter?" input is checked and the calculated ADX is below the specified "ADX Trend Threshold", the script considers the market potentially ranging.
ADX Visual Effect: During detected ranging periods (if the ADX filter is active), the plotCloud12Color and plotCloud23Color variables are assigned a neutral grey color instead of their normal bullish/bearish colors before being passed to the fill() function.
Alert Logic: Boolean variables track the specific conditions (crossovers, cloud alignment, filter positions, ADX state). The alertcondition() function creates triggerable alerts based on these pre-defined conditions.
Potential Interpretation (Not Financial Advice):
Trend Alignment: When both clouds share the same directional color (e.g., both bullish - Green & Aqua) and price is on the corresponding side of the 200 EMA filter, it may suggest a stronger, more aligned trend. Conversely, conflicting cloud colors may indicate indecision or transition.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: The EMA lines themselves (especially the 20, 50, and 200) can sometimes act as dynamic levels where price might react.
Range Warning: Greyed-out clouds (when ADX filter is enabled) serve as a visual warning that trend-based strategies might face increased difficulty or whipsaws.
Confluence Alerts: The specific confluence alerts signal moments where multiple conditions align (crossover + cloud agreement + filters), which some traders might view as higher-probability setups.
Customization:
All EMA lengths (10, 20, 50, 200) are adjustable via the Inputs menu.
The ADX length and threshold are configurable.
The MA Trend Filter and ADX Trend Filter can be independently enabled or disabled.
