Updated ALMA & EMA Ribbon by zdmre
This indicator combines a unique trend-following signal with a classic EMA ribbon to provide a clear view of the market trend.
The main signal line is not based on a typical ATR. Instead, it uses an Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) as its baseline and calculates support/resistance bands using Standard Deviation. This creates a responsive trend line that adapts well to volatility. This is paired with a simple EMA Ribbon to help confirm momentum.
What It Does
ALMA + SD Trend Line: This is the core of the indicator. It uses an ALMA as the baseline (instead of a simple MA) and Standard Deviation for the bands. This tends to be more responsive than many traditional trend-following indicators.
Buy/Sell Signals: Simple "B" and "S" labels appear on your chart when the trend is calculated to have changed direction.
EMA Ribbon: A standard Fast/Slow EMA ribbon is plotted to give you a secondary confirmation of momentum. The fill between the EMAs changes color (green for bull, red for bear).
On-Screen Dashboard: A clean info panel in the corner shows you the current status of all components at a glance:
Current Signal (Long/Short)
Price vs. Trend Line (Above/Below)
Trend Strength (%)
EMA Trend (Bullish/Bearish)
Momentum
Fully Customizable: You can toggle every visual element on or off (the signals, the ribbon, the bar coloring, the dashboard) to keep your chart clean.
Settings
Trend Settings:
Factor: This is the main setting. It's the Standard Deviation multiplier. A higher value makes the line less sensitive (fewer signals). A lower value makes it more sensitive (more signals).
SD Length: The lookback for the Standard Deviation.
ALMA Settings:
ALMA Length, Sigma, Offset: Standard controls for the ALMA's smoothness and responsiveness.
EMA Ribbon:
Fast EMA & Slow EMA: Set the lengths for your ribbon.
Visual Settings:
Checkboxes to toggle all visual components (signals, ribbon, dashboard, etc.).
You can set up alerts in TradingView for the following events:
🟢 Long Signal: Triggers on a new "B" (Buy) signal.
🔴 Short Signal: Triggers on a new "S" (Sell) signal.
⚠️ Price Crossed Trend: Triggers any time the price closes across the main trend line.
