EMA based Candle Coloring

EMA or Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a technical indicator used in trading practices that shows how the price of an asset or security changes over a certain period of time. The EMA is different from a simple moving average in that it places more weight on recent data points (i.e., recent prices)

In this script plain EMA or MA is not used for candle coloring, but it takes multiple EMAs of the original EMA and then subtracts lag from the result to get data points of each candle of two certain periods defined. As it differs from traditional EMAs and MAs by reacting quicker to price changes and is able to subtract lag with its calculated formula.

The candle coloring is able to interpret short-term price direction and overall trend and its suitable for active traders. As it tracks price more closely than SMAs

Since EMAs can also provide support or resistance for price and is highly reliant on the asset’s lookback period we can make sure we stay with the trend rather than going against the trend.

*First of all here's what the colors represent and how to interpret them is shown in below image


Examples of how I use the Coloring pattern

Spotting a fakeout/stophunt


during trends:


* No strategy is 100% accurate this script is one of those too , traders must use this as an addition to their system rather than making it a standalone system.
* Context is important as the coloring is done using calculations, different timeframes has different context hence traders discretion is key.
