Pi Cycle MACD Inverse OscillatorPi Cycle MACD Inverse Oscillator with Gradient and Days Since Last Top
This indicator is ideal for Bitcoin traders seeking a robust tool to visualize long-term and short-term trends with enhanced clarity and actionable insights.
This script combines the concept of the Pi Cycle indicator with a unique MACD-based inverse oscillator to analyze Bitcoin market trends. It introduces several features to help traders understand market conditions better:
Inverse Oscillator:
- Oscillator ranges between 1 and -1.
- A value of 1 indicates the two moving averages (350 MA and 111 MA) are equal.
- A value of -1 indicates the maximum observed distance between the moving averages during the selected lookback period.
- The oscillator dynamically adjusts to price changes using a configurable scaling factor.
Gradient Visualization:
The oscillator line transitions smoothly from green (closer to -1) to yellow (at 0) and red (closer to 1).
The color gradient provides a quick visual cue for market momentum.
Days Since Last Pi Cycle Top:
Calculates and displays the number of days since the last "Pi Cycle Top" (defined as a crossover between the two moving averages).
The label updates dynamically and appears only on the most recent bar.
Conditional Fill:
Highlights the area between 0 and 1 with a green gradient when the price is above the long moving average.
Enhances visual understanding of the oscillator's position relative to key thresholds.
Inputs:
- Long Moving Average (350 default): Determines the primary trend.
- Short Moving Average (111 default): Measures shorter-term momentum.
- Oscillator Lookback Period (100 default): Defines the range for normalizing the oscillator.
- Price Scaling Factor (0.01 default): Adjusts the normalization to account for large price fluctuations.
How to Use:
- Use the oscillator to identify potential reversal points and trend momentum.
- Look for transitions in the gradient color and the position relative to 0.
- Monitor the "Days Since Last Top" label for insights into the market's cycle timing.
- Utilize the conditional fill to quickly assess when the market is in a favorable position above the long moving average.

Colors and styles are easily configurable to match your trading style.
How to Use:
RSI Zones: Use RSI and its zones to identify overbought/oversold conditions.
EMA: Look for crossovers or confluence with divergences for confirmation.
Divergences: Monitor for “Bull,” “Bear,” “H Bull,” or “H Bear” labels to spot key reversal or continuation signals.
Alerts: Set alerts to be notified of divergence opportunities without constant chart monitoring.
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.
Awesome Oscillator Twin Peaks Strategy
1. The indicator identifies both bullish and bearish twin peaks:
- Bullish: Two consecutive valleys below zero, where the second valley is higher than the first
- Bearish: Two consecutive peaks above zero, where the second peak is lower than the first
2. Visual elements:
- AO histogram with color-coding for increasing/decreasing values
- Triangle markers for confirmed twin peak signals
- Zero line for reference
- Customizable colors through inputs
3. Built-in safeguards:
- Minimum separation between peaks to avoid false signals
- Maximum time window for pattern completion
- Clear signal reset conditions
4. Alert conditions for both bullish and bearish signals
To use this indicator:
1. Add it to your TradingView chart
2. Customize the input parameters if needed
3. Look for triangle markers that indicate confirmed twin peak patterns
4. Optional: Set up alerts based on the signal conditions
Trend Battery [Phantom]Trend Battery
Visualize Trend Strength with a Dynamic EMA Power Gauge
OVERVIEW
The Trend Battery indicator offers a clear, visual representation of trend strength based on the alignment of multiple Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). It assigns a color-coded score to each bar, helping traders quickly assess the prevailing trend's power and direction.
CONCEPT
• Trend Strength Using EMAs: The indicator analyzes the alignment of 20 EMAs (8 to 200 periods) to gauge trend strength. The more EMAs align, the stronger the trend.
• Gradient-Based Visualization: Scores are mapped to a color gradient, transitioning from green (bullish) to purple (bearish), providing an intuitive visual representation of trend momentum.
HOW IT WORKS
Trend Battery calculates 20 EMAs and evaluates their alignment. When EMAs align in a strong trend, the bar colors change (as displayed in battery color key on chart) displaying a spectrum of colors from bright green (strong uptrend) to deep purple (strong downtrend).
• Dynamic Bar Colors:
o Green hues: Strong bullish trends.
o Purple hues: Strong bearish trends.
o Red hues: Weaker trends or potential transitions.
FEATURES
• Dynamic Color Coding: Easy-to-read and instantly assess trend.
• Customizable Transparency: Adjust bar color opacity to your preference.
• Optional EMA Display: Toggle individual EMA lines on/off for additional context.
• Compact Battery View: Quick reference table displaying the gradient color mapping.
SETTINGS
• Transparency: Controls the opacity of bar colors.
• Show EMAs on Chart: Enables/disables plotting of EMA lines.
USAGE
• Identify trend strength and direction.
• Confirm trend reversals or continuations.
• Complement other indicators and strategies.
• Monitor multi-timeframe trends.
TRADE IDEAS:
• For larger timeframes purple hues can be used for accumulating and green hues for distribution.
• For smaller timeframes, color transitions could be a signal for trend reversal, or corrections.
• It is a good idea to use larger timeframes for overall trend directions, and smaller timeframes for entries.
LIMITATIONS
• Lagging Indicator: As the Trend Battery relies on Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), it is inherently a lagging indicator. This means it reflects past price action and may not always provide timely signals for rapid market changes or sudden reversals.
• False Signals in Sideways Markets: In ranging or consolidating markets, the indicator may produce mixed signals (frequent color changes) as EMAs intertwine without a clear trend. This can lead to false interpretations if not considered alongside other market context indicators.
• Not a Standalone System: The Trend Battery is designed to be a visual aid and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. It's most effective when combined with other technical analysis tools, such as oscillators, support/resistance levels, and fundamental analysis.
DISCLAIMER
Use the Trend Battery indicator in conjunction with other forms of analysis and risk management. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

[blackcat] L2 Six Round Positioning█ OVERVIEW
The script is an indicator designed to plot the direction (up, down, no change) of several moving averages (MA) on a separate chart, without overlaying the price data. It calculates Simple Moving Averages (SMA) for 3, 5, 8, 34, 60, 120, and 250 periods and uses conditional logic to determine the color and position of the plotted columns based on whether each MA is increasing, decreasing, or unchanged.
█ LOGICAL FRAMEWORK
The script is structured into three main sections:
1 — Input Parameters: None explicitly defined, but the script uses default settings for the indicator function.
2 — Calculations: Computes Simple Moving Averages (SMA) for seven different periods.
3 — Plotting: Uses conditional logic to plot columns representing the direction of each MA, with positions and colors indicating whether the MA is increasing, decreasing, or unchanged.
The flow of data is straightforward: the script calculates the SMAs, determines their direction, sets the appropriate color, and then plots the columns.
█ CUSTOM FUNCTIONS
• No custom functions are defined in this script. All calculations and plotting are done using built-in Pine Script functions such as ta.sma for SMA calculation and plot for plotting.
█ KEY POINTS AND TECHNIQUES
• Use of ta.sma: The script effectively uses the ta.sma function to calculate Simple Moving Averages for different periods.

VWAP Direction HistogramThe ** VWAP Direction Histogram ** indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to gauge the directional bias of the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). VWAP is a critical metric that combines price and volume to provide a weighted average price, often used to identify institutional trading activity and support/resistance levels. This indicator builds upon the traditional VWAP by calculating its directional changes over a customizable lookback period, providing clear visual cues to traders through a color-coded histogram.
By identifying whether VWAP is rising or falling over the specified lookback period, this indicator helps traders determine the prevailing trend bias in the market. A positive VWAP direction suggests upward momentum and a bullish trend bias, while a negative direction indicates downward momentum and bearish sentiment. This information is further reinforced by coloring the chart candles based on the VWAP trend, enabling quick visual analysis and enhancing decision-making for trend-following strategies. Whether you're trading intraday or longer-term, the ** VWAP Direction Histogram ** offers an intuitive and effective way to align your trades with market trends.
Duong_Sideway ZoneThis indicator is designed to identify sideway (ranging) zones on the price chart. It uses a Moving Average (MA) and criteria such as the number of price crosses over the MA, as well as breakout checks, to determine whether the market is in a sideway state. When a sideway zone is detected, it is highlighted with a yellow background on the chart.
Key Features:
MA Line: Uses a Moving Average (MA) as the basis for trend identification.
Sideway Threshold: Based on the number of price crosses over the MA within a specific period.
Breakout Check: Excludes zones from being considered sideway if a breakout occurs beyond the ATR threshold.
Visual Highlighting: Highlights sideway zones with a yellow background for easy identification.
This indicator is ideal for traders looking to identify ranging market phases to adjust their trading strategies accordingly.
For example, if within the last 20 candles, the number of times the closing price crosses the MA5 is greater than 4, it is considered a sideway zone, except in cases where the closing price of a recent candle has broken out of the highest/ lowest price of the previous 20 candles.
RSI-Adjusted 9SMAThis indicator integrates the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to create a more robust trading signal by blending momentum and trend analysis. Here's how they work together:
How the RSI and SMA Work in Harmony
RSI (Momentum Indicator):
The RSI measures the speed and change of price movements, oscillating between 0 and 100.
Typically, an RSI value above 50 suggests bullish momentum, while values below 50 indicate bearish momentum.
The script further refines this by applying a 9-period EMA to the RSI. This smoothing process filters out noise, providing a clearer picture of momentum shifts.
SMA (Trend Indicator):
The SMA calculates the average price over a specific period (9 in this case), helping to smooth out price fluctuations and identify the overall trend.
By observing the SMA, traders can determine whether the market is trending upward, downward, or moving sideways.
Combining the Two for Stronger Signals:
The RSI EMA acts as a momentum filter. When it is above 50, it indicates the presence of bullish momentum. Under such conditions, the SMA turning blue provides a stronger confirmation of an uptrend.
Conversely, when the RSI EMA is below 50, it signals weakening momentum. The SMA turning white underlines the caution, suggesting potential bearish conditions or a lack of trend strength.
This combination ensures that traders are not just relying on the SMA's trend-following behavior but also factoring in the market's underlying momentum for more reliable entries and exits.
Why This Approach is Robust
Avoid False Signals:
The SMA alone can generate false signals in choppy or range-bound markets. By incorporating the RSI EMA, the script reduces the likelihood of acting on weak or non-committal trends.
Timing Entries and Exits:
When both the SMA and RSI EMA align (e.g., blue SMA and RSI EMA > 50), it provides a stronger case for entering trades. Similarly, misalignment (e.g., white SMA and RSI EMA ≤ 50) warns against entering during uncertain conditions.
Adapting to Market Conditions:
This dual approach captures both short-term momentum shifts (RSI EMA) and longer-term trend direction (SMA), making it useful across different market phases.
Practical Application
Bullish Setup:
RSI EMA > 50 + Blue SMA → Enter or stay in long positions.
Bearish Setup:
RSI EMA ≤ 50 + White SMA → Exit long positions or consider short opportunities.
This combination of indicators offers traders a balanced strategy that considers both the direction of the trend and the underlying momentum, resulting in more confident and timely decision-making.
Enhanced 20 SMA Signal BoxesEnhanced 20 SMA Signal Boxes

Austin MTF EMA Entry PointsAustin MTF EMA Entry Points
Overview
The Austin MTF EMA Entry Points is a custom TradingView indicator designed to assist traders in identifying high-probability entry points by combining multiple time frame (MTF) analysis. It leverages exponential moving averages (EMAs) from the daily, 1-hour, and 15-minute charts to generate buy and sell signals that align with the overall trend.
This indicator is ideal for traders who:
Want to trade in the direction of the broader daily trend.
Seek precise entry points on lower time frames (1H and 15M).
Prefer using EMAs as their main trend-following tool.
How It Works
Daily Trend Filter:
The indicator calculates the 50 EMA on the daily chart.
The daily EMA acts as the primary trend filter:
If the current price is above the daily 50 EMA, the trend is bullish.
If the current price is below the daily 50 EMA, the trend is bearish.
Lower Time Frame Entry Points:
The indicator calculates the 20 EMA on both the 1-hour (1H) and 15-minute (15M) time frames.
Buy and sell signals are generated when the price aligns with the trend on all three time frames:
Buy Signal: Price is above the daily 50 EMA and also above the 20 EMA on both the 1H and 15M charts.
Sell Signal: Price is below the daily 50 EMA and also below the 20 EMA on both the 1H and 15M charts.
Visual and Alert Features:
Plot Lines:
The daily 50 EMA is plotted in yellow for easy identification of the main trend.
The 20 EMA from the 1H chart is plotted in blue, and the 15M chart's EMA is in purple for comparison.
Buy/Sell Markers:
Green "Up" arrows appear for buy signals.
Red "Down" arrows appear for sell signals.
Alerts:
Alerts notify users when a buy or sell signal is triggered, making it easier to act on trading opportunities in real-time.
How to Use the Indicator
Identify the Main Trend:
Check the relationship between the price and the daily 50 EMA (yellow line):
Only look for buy signals if the price is above the daily 50 EMA.
Only look for sell signals if the price is below the daily 50 EMA.
Wait for Lower Time Frame Alignment:
For a valid signal, ensure that the price is also above or below the 20 EMA (blue and purple lines) on both the 1H and 15M time frames:
This alignment confirms short-term momentum in the same direction as the daily trend.
Act on Signals:
Use the arrows as visual cues for entry points:
Enter long trades on green "Up" arrows.
Enter short trades on red "Down" arrows.
The alerts will notify you of these signals, so you don’t have to monitor the chart constantly.
Exit Strategy:
Use your preferred stop-loss, take-profit, or trailing stop strategy.
You can also exit trades if the price crosses back below/above the daily 50 EMA, signaling a potential reversal.
Use Cases
Swing Traders: Use the daily trend filter to trade in the direction of the dominant trend, while using 1H and 15M signals to fine-tune entries.
Day Traders: Leverage the 1H and 15M time frames to capitalize on short-term momentum while respecting the broader daily trend.
Position Traders: Monitor the indicator to determine potential reversals or significant alignment across time frames.
Customizable Inputs
The indicator includes the following inputs:
Daily EMA Length: Default is 50. Adjust this to change the length of the trend filter EMA.
Lower Time Frame EMA Length: Default is 20. Adjust this to change the short-term EMA for the 1H and 15M charts.
Time Frames: Hardcoded to "D", "60", and "15", but you can modify the script for different time frames if needed.
Example Scenarios
Buy Signal:
Price is above the daily 50 EMA.
Price crosses above the 20 EMA on both the 1H and 15M time frames.
A green "Up" arrow is displayed, and an alert is triggered.
Sell Signal:
Price is below the daily 50 EMA.
Price crosses below the 20 EMA on both the 1H and 15M time frames.
A red "Down" arrow is displayed, and an alert is triggered.
Strengths and Limitations
Strengths:
Aligns trades with the higher time frame trend for increased probability.
Uses multiple time frame analysis to identify precise entry points.
Visual signals and alerts make it easy to use in real-time.
Limitations:
May produce fewer signals in choppy or ranging markets.
Requires discipline to avoid overtrading when conditions are unclear.
Lag in EMAs could result in late entries in fast-moving markets.
Final Notes
The Austin MTF EMA Entry Points indicator is a powerful tool for traders who value multiple time frame alignment and trend-following strategies. While it simplifies decision-making, it is always recommended to backtest and practice proper risk management before using it in live markets.

Check tooltips in the settings menu for more details about every user input.
STRTEGY ENTRY & EXIT MECHANISMS:
Trades Entry based on the detection of swing highs and lows for short and long entries respectively, validated by:
- Limit orders placed after each new pivot level confirmation
- Moving averages trend filter (if enabled)
- No active trade currently open
Trades Exit when the price reaches take-profit or stop-loss level as defined in the settings menu. A double entry/second take-profit level can be enabled for partial exits, with dynamic stop-loss adjustment for the remaining position.
Enhanced Trade Precision:
By limiting entries to confirmed swing high (HH, LH) or swing low (HL, LL) pivot points, the strategy ensures that trades occur at levels of significant price reversals. This precision reduces the likelihood of entering trades in the midst of a trend or during uncertain price action.
Risk Management Optimization:
The strategy incorporates clearly defined stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) levels derived from the pivot points. This structured approach minimizes potential losses while locking in profits, which is critical for consistent performance in volatile markets.
Trend Filtering for Better Entry:
The use of a configurable moving average filter adds a layer of trend validation. This prevents entering trades against the dominant market trend, increasing the probability of success for each trade.
Avoidance of Noise:
The lookback period (length parameter) confirms pivots only after a set number of bars, effectively filtering out market noise and ensuring that entries are based on reliable, well-defined price movements.
Adaptability Across Markets:
The strategy is versatile and can be applied across different markets (Forex, stocks, crypto) due to its dynamic use of ticks and pips converters. It adapts seamlessly to varying price scales and asset types.
Dual Quantity Entries:
The original and optionnal double-entry mechanism allows traders to capture both short-term and extended profits by scaling out of positions. This adaptive approach caters to varying risk appetites and market conditions.
Clear Visualization:
The plotted pivot points, entry limits, SL, and TP levels provide visual clarity, making it easy for traders to track the strategy's behavior and make informed decisions.
Automated Execution with Alerts:
Integrated alerts for both entries and exits ensure timely actions without the need for constant market monitoring, enhancing efficiency. Configurable alert messages are suitable for API use.
Any feedback, comments, or suggestions for improvement are always welcome.

IU EMA Channel StrategyIU EMA Channel Strategy
Overview:
The IU EMA Channel Strategy is a simple yet effective trend-following strategy that uses two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) based on the high and low prices. It provides clear entry and exit signals by identifying price crossovers relative to the EMAs while incorporating a built-in Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RTR) for effective risk management.
Inputs ( Settings ):
- RTR (Risk-to-Reward Ratio): Define the ratio for risk-to-reward (default = 2).
- EMA Length: Adjust the length of the EMA channels (default = 100).
How the Strategy Works
1. EMA Channels:
- High-based EMA: EMA calculated on the high price.
- Low-based EMA: EMA calculated on the low price.
The area between these two EMAs creates a "channel" that visually highlights potential support and resistance zones.
2. Entry Rules:
- Long Entry: When the price closes above the high-based EMA (crossover).
- Short Entry: When the price closes below the low-based EMA (crossunder).
These entries ensure trades are taken in the direction of momentum.
3. Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP):
- Stop Loss:
- For long positions, the SL is set at the previous bar's low.
- For short positions, the SL is set at the previous bar's high.
- Take Profit:
- TP is automatically calculated using the Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RTR) you define.
- Example: If RTR = 2, the TP will be 2x the risk distance.
4. Exit Rules:
- Positions are closed at either the stop loss or the take profit level.
- The strategy manages exits automatically to enforce disciplined risk management.
Visual Features
1. EMA Channels:
- The high and low EMAs are dynamically color-coded:
- Green: Price is above the EMA (bullish condition).
- Red: Price is below the EMA (bearish condition).
- The area between the EMAs is shaded for better visual clarity.
2. Stop Loss and Take Profit Zones:
- SL and TP levels are plotted for both long and short positions.
- Zones are filled with:
- Red: Stop Loss area.
- Green: Take Profit area.
Be sure to manage your risk and position size properly.
DAILY Supertrend + EMA Crossover with RSI FilterThis strategy is a technical trading approach that combines multiple indicators—Supertrend, Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI)—to identify and manage trades.
Core Components:
1. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
Two EMAs, one with a shorter period (fast) and one with a longer period (slow), are calculated. The idea is to spot when the faster EMA crosses above or below the slower EMA. A fast EMA crossing above the slow EMA often suggests upward momentum, while crossing below suggests downward momentum.
2. Supertrend Indicator:
The Supertrend uses Average True Range (ATR) to establish dynamic support and resistance lines. These lines shift above or below price depending on the prevailing trend. When price is above the Supertrend line, the trend is considered bullish; when below, it’s considered bearish. This helps ensure that the strategy trades only in the direction of the overall trend rather than against it.
3. RSI Filter:
The RSI measures momentum. It helps avoid buying into markets that are already overbought or selling into markets that are oversold. For example, when going long (buying), the strategy only proceeds if the RSI is not too high, and when going short (selling), it only proceeds if the RSI is not too low. This filter is meant to improve the quality of the trades by reducing the chance of entering right before a reversal.
4. Time Filters:
The strategy only triggers entries during user-specified date and time ranges. This is useful if one wants to limit trading activity to certain trading sessions or periods with higher market liquidity.
5. Risk Management via ATR-based Stops and Targets:
Both stop loss and take profit levels are set as multiples of the ATR. ATR measures volatility, so when volatility is higher, both stops and profit targets adjust to give the trade more breathing room. Conversely, when volatility is low, stops and targets tighten. This dynamic approach helps maintain consistent risk management regardless of market conditions.
Overall Logic Flow:
- First, the market conditions are analyzed through EMAs, Supertrend, and RSI.
- When a buy (long) condition is met—meaning the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, the trend is bullish according to Supertrend, and RSI is below the specified “overbought” threshold—the strategy initiates or adds to a long position.
- Similarly, when a sell (short) condition is met—meaning the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA, the trend is bearish, and RSI is above the specified “oversold” threshold—it initiates or adds to a short position.
- Each position is protected by an automatically calculated stop loss and a take profit level based on ATR multiples.
Intended Result:
By blending trend detection, momentum filtering, and volatility-adjusted risk management, the strategy aims to capture moves in the primary trend direction while avoiding entries at excessively stretched prices. Allowing multiple entries can potentially amplify gains in strong trends but also increases exposure, which traders should consider in their risk management approach.
In essence, this strategy tries to ride established trends as indicated by the Supertrend and EMAs, filter out poor-quality entries using RSI, and dynamically manage trade risk through ATR-based stops and targets.
EMA with VWAPThis indicator combines two popular technical analysis tools: the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), into a single, powerful overlay on your chart. It allows you to analyze both trend direction using the EMA and institutional interest and fair value using the VWAP, all while saving valuable indicator slots on your TradingView layout.
Key Features:
- Exponential Moving Average (EMA):
- Calculates the EMA based on a user-defined Length and Source (e.g., close, open, hl2).
- Includes an optional Offset to shift the EMA line forward or backward on the chart.
- Offers a Smoothing Line feature, allowing you to further smooth the EMA using various moving average types (SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, VWMA) with a customizable Smoothing Length.
- EMA and Smoothing Line can be toggled on or off.
- EMA and Smoothing Line have independent offset capabilities.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP):
-Calculates the VWAP, a crucial indicator that reflects the average price weighted by volume.
- Offers a wide range of Anchor Periods for resetting the VWAP calculation, including: Session, Week, Month, Quarter, Year, Decade, Century, Earnings, Dividends, and Splits.
- Includes an optional Offset to shift the VWAP line.
- Option to Hide VWAP on 1D or Above timeframes to focus on intraday analysis.
- Provides up to three customizable Standard Deviation Bands above and below the VWAP, visually representing volatility and potential support/resistance levels.
- Bands can be calculated using either "Standard Deviation" or "Percentage" methods.
- Bands can be turned on or off independently.
How to Use:
- EMA: Use the EMA to identify the overall trend direction. An upward-sloping EMA suggests an uptrend, while a downward-sloping EMA suggests a downtrend. The Smoothing Line can help confirm the EMA's trend.
- VWAP: The VWAP acts as a benchmark for the "fair" price of an asset during the selected anchor period. Prices above the VWAP may indicate bullish sentiment, while prices below may indicate bearish sentiment.
- Bands: The Standard Deviation Bands can help identify potential overbought and oversold conditions. Price reaching the upper bands might suggest overbought levels, while price reaching the lower bands might suggest oversold levels.
Customization:
- The indicator offers extensive customization through its settings:
- EMA Settings: Adjust the EMA length, source, offset, smoothing method, and smoothing length.
- VWAP Settings: Choose the VWAP anchor period, source, offset, and whether to hide it on daily or higher timeframes.
- VWAP Bands Settings: Control the visibility, multiplier, and calculation method for each of the three standard deviation bands.
Benefits:
- Consolidated Analysis: Combines two essential indicators into one, providing a comprehensive view of price action and volume.
- Saves Indicator Slots: Frees up valuable indicator slots on your TradingView chart.
- Highly Customizable: Offers a wide range of settings to tailor the indicator to your specific trading style and preferences.
- Visual Clarity: Clearly displays the EMA, VWAP, and optional bands on the chart, facilitating quick and easy analysis.
This combined EMA and VWAP indicator is a valuable tool for traders of all levels, offering a powerful and flexible way to analyze market trends and identify potential trading opportunities.
20/50 SMA Cross 200 SMAThis Pine Script code is designed to identify and visualize crossovers of two shorter-term Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), a 20-period SMA and a 50-period SMA, with a longer-term 200-period SMA on a price chart. It also includes alerts for these crossover events. Here's a breakdown:
**Purpose:**
The core idea behind this script is to detect potential trend changes. Crossovers of shorter-term moving averages over a longer-term moving average are often interpreted as bullish signals, while crossovers below are considered bearish.
**Key Components:**
1. **Moving Average Calculation:**
* `sma20 = ta.sma(close, 20)`: Calculates the 20-period SMA of the closing price.
* `sma50 = ta.sma(close, 50)`: Calculates the 50-period SMA of the closing price.
* `sma200 = ta.sma(close, 200)`: Calculates the 200-period SMA of the closing price.
2. **Crossover Detection:**
* `crossUp20 = ta.crossover(sma20, sma200)`: Returns `true` when the 20-period SMA crosses above the 200-period SMA.
* `crossDown20 = ta.crossunder(sma20, sma200)`: Returns `true` when the 20-period SMA crosses below the 200-period SMA.
* Similar logic applies for `crossUp50` and `crossDown50` with the 50-period SMA.
3. **Recent Crossover Tracking (Crucial Improvement):**
* `lookback = 7`: Defines a lookback period of 7 bars.
* `var bool hasCrossedUp20 = false`, etc.: Declares `var` (persistent) boolean variables to track if a crossover has occurred *within* the last 7 bars. This is the most important correction from previous versions.
* The logic using `ta.barssince()` is the key:
* If a crossover happens (`crossUp20` is true), the corresponding `hasCrossedUp20` is set to `true`.
* If no crossover happens on the current bar, it checks if a crossover happened within the last 7 bars using `ta.barssince(crossUp20) <= lookback`. If so, it keeps `hasCrossedUp20` as `true`. After 7 bars, it becomes `false`.
4. **Plotting Crossovers:**
* `plotshape(...)`: Plots circles on the chart to visually mark the crossovers.
* Green circles below the bars for bullish crossovers (20 and 50).
* Red circles above the bars for bearish crossovers (20 and 50).
* Different shades of green/red (green/lime, red/maroon) distinguish between 20 and 50 SMA crossovers.
5. **Plotting Moving Averages (Optional but Helpful):**
* `plot(sma20, color=color.blue, linewidth=1)`: Plots the 20-period SMA in blue.
* Similar logic for the 50-period SMA (orange) and 200-period SMA (gray).
6. **Alerts:**
* `alertcondition(...)`: Triggers alerts when crossovers occur. This is essential for real-time trading signals.
**How it Works (in Simple Terms):**
The script continuously calculates the 20, 50, and 200 SMAs. It then monitors for instances where the 20 or 50 SMA crosses the 200 SMA. When such a crossover happens, a colored circle is plotted on the chart, and an alert is triggered. The key improvement is that it remembers if a crossover occurred in the last 7 bars and continues to display the circle during that period.
**Use Case:**
Traders use this type of indicator to identify potential entry and exit points in the market. A bullish crossover (shorter SMA crossing above the longer SMA) might be a signal to buy, while a bearish crossover might be a signal to sell.
**Key Improvements over Previous Versions:**
* **Correct Lookback Implementation:** The use of `ta.barssince()` and `var` variables is the correct and efficient way to check for crossovers within a lookback period. This fixes the major flaw in earlier versions.
* **Clear Visualizations:** The use of `plotshape` with distinct colors makes it easy to distinguish between 20 and 50 SMA crossovers.
* **Alerts:** The inclusion of alerts makes the script much more practical for real-time trading.
This improved version provides a robust and useful tool for identifying and tracking SMA crossovers.
FIR Low Pass Filter Suite (FIR)The FIR Low Pass Filter Suite is an advanced signal processing indicator that applies finite impulse response (FIR) filtering techniques to price data. At its core, the indicator uses windowed-sinc filtering, which provides optimal frequency response characteristics for separating trend from noise in financial data.
The indicator offers multiple window functions including Kaiser, Kaiser-Bessel Derived (KBD), Hann, Hamming, Blackman, Triangular, and Lanczos. Each window type provides different trade-offs between main-lobe width and side-lobe attenuation, allowing users to fine-tune the frequency response characteristics of the filter. The Kaiser and KBD windows provide additional control through an alpha parameter that adjusts the shape of the window function.
A key feature is the ability to operate in either linear or logarithmic space. Logarithmic filtering can be particularly appropriate for financial data due to the multiplicative nature of price movements. The indicator includes an envelope system that can adaptively calculate bands around the filtered price using either arithmetic or geometric deviation, with separate controls for upper and lower bands to account for the asymmetric nature of market movements.
The implementation handles edge effects through proper initialization and offers both centered and forward-only filtering modes. Centered mode provides zero phase distortion but introduces lag, while forward-only mode operates causally with no lag but introduces some phase distortion. All calculations are performed using vectorized operations for efficiency, with carefully designed state management to handle the filter's warm-up period.
Visual feedback is provided through customizable color gradients that can reflect the current trend direction, with optional glow effects and background fills to enhance visibility. The indicator maintains high numerical precision throughout its calculations while providing smooth, artifact-free output suitable for both analysis and visualization.
