OVERVIEW
The trend condition indicator is designed to provide traders with a clear visualization of price trends using a multi-layer Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon. It dynamically displays whether the EMAs are trending bullish or bearish, alongside a real-time count of the number of bullish and bearish EMAs.
The script calculates 14 EMAs across various lengths (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 90, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200). This broad range ensures traders can monitor the trend's evolution on short and long-term timeframes.
The EMA lines display green when the EMA is higher than its previous value. Red indicates the EMA is lower than its previous value. Dynamic labels are displayed above the highest EMA and below the lowest EMA. This helps traders see both the visual color trends, as well as the count of EMA's in up or down trends.
The script evaluates each EMA by comparing its current value to its previous value. This determines whether the EMA is trending upward (bullish) or downward (bearish).
It displays how many EMAs are bullish (green) and bearish (red), updating this count in real time.
CONCEPTS AND USE
A predominantly green ribbon signals an uptrend. A predominantly red ribbon signals a downtrend.
As the ribbons compress, it indicates that the trend is about to expand, either up or down. In a compressed state, traders can watch for the display count to move to all bullish (14) or all bearish (14) in anticipation of the expansion of the trend.
When the EMA ribbon is fanned or spread out, the trend may be exhausting and can represent a decision point location for traders as well.
Core trend direction, trend compression, and trend expansion are the intended uses of this indicator.
USE SCENARIOS
Trend-Following Strategies: Identify when to enter or exit trades based on trend strength, compression and expansion locations.
Momentum Confirmation: Use the bullish/bearish counts to confirm accelerating momentum.
Long-Term Analysis: Assess the alignment of long-term EMAs for overall trend direction.
This script is a versatile tool for traders looking for a clean, dynamic way to monitor trends across multiple timeframes.
