Description: This script plots the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and dynamically changes its color based on the trend direction. The script helps traders quickly identify whether the price is above or below the 200 EMA, which is widely used as a long-term trend indicator.
How It Works: The script calculates the 200 EMA based on the closing price. If the price is above the EMA, it suggests a bullish trend, and the EMA line turns green. If the price is below the EMA, it suggests a bearish trend, and the EMA line turns red. An optional background color is added to enhance visual clarity, highlighting the current trend direction.
Use Cases: Trend Confirmation: Helps traders determine if the overall trend is bullish or bearish. Support and Resistance: The 200 EMA is often used as dynamic support/resistance. Entry & Exit Signals: Traders can use crossovers with the 200 EMA as potential trade signals. This script is designed for traders looking for a simple yet effective way to incorporate trend visualization into their charts. It is fully open-source and can be customized to fit individual trading strategies.
