FDF – Step 4 (Touch-21 + Trend/VWAP + Channel + Prev75% toggle)
FDF — EMAs + VWAP Retest Entry System (A++ Signal Mode Compatible)
This indicator is designed for traders who follow a structured pullback and continuation entry method using the 9 EMA, 21 EMA, and VWAP as trend and momentum guides.
The system highlights high-probability retest entries when price pulls back into the EMA channel and shows strength in the direction of trend. It also includes optional A++ wick filters for traders who want to refine entries only to the strongest momentum candles.
Core Logic
A trade setup is identified when:
Trend is defined by the EMA alignment
• Long bias when EMA9 > EMA21
• Short bias when EMA9 < EMA21
Price retests the 21 EMA
• The candle must touch or cross the 21 EMA
• Designed to time pullbacks, not breakouts
Entry Confirmation
• Candle closes back in channel or breaks away in the trend direction
• Optional requirement: price must be on the correct side of VWAP for intraday trend alignment
A++ Wick Filter Mode (Optional)
Enable this mode to restrict entries to only high-dominance candles:
Dominant wick must exceed the opposing wick by a chosen percentage
Opposing wick can optionally be limited to a % of body size
Helps avoid weak, indecisive, or absorption candles
This mode is optional — turn it off to allow standard FDF entries.
Signals
When conditions are met, the script plots:
Green Triangle → Long entry signal
Red Triangle → Short entry signal
(Entries are plotted only after candle close to avoid repainting.)
Best Use
• Works on 5m / 15m / 1H intraday trend structures
• Pairs well with market structure + liquidity zones
• Designed for disciplined traders who wait for trend alignment and controlled pullbacks
