D_Rock's MA IndicatorD_Rock's Moving Average Indicator
This is an indicator version of my strategy linked here
**Overview:**
The basic concept of this indicator is to generate a signal when a faster/shorter length moving average crosses over (for Longs) or crosses under (for Shorts) a medium/longer length moving average. All of which are customizable. This indicator can work on any timeframe, however the daily is the timeframe used for the default settings and screenshots, as it was designed to be a multi-day swing strategy. Once a signal has been confirmed with a candle close, based on user options, the strategy is to enter the trade on the open of the next candle.
The crossover strategy is nothing new to trading, but what can make this strategy unique and helpful, is the addition of further confirmation points before a signal is generated along with the ability to show multiple moving averages on the chart if you choose. Each moving average pair can also be turned into a "cloud" instead of the traditional lines, for additional viewing preferences. Just about everything visual can be toggled on/off as well.
This indicator is a Trend (MA) indicator with optional confirmation points using a Momentum (MACD) indicator. While a Volume-based indicator is not shown here, one could consider using their favorite from that category to further compliment the signal idea.
If you would like to see the backtesting results for your favorite moving average crossover/under, please see my strategy version linked here .
Shoutout given to Ripster's Clouds Indicator as pieces of that code were taken and modified to create both the Cloud visualization effects, and the Moving Average Pair Plots that are implemented in this strategy.
MOVING AVERAGE OPTIONS
Select between and change the length & type of up to 5 pairs (10 total) of moving averages
The "Show Cloud-x" option will display a fill color between the "a" and "b" pairs
All moving averages lines can be toggled on/off in the "Style" tab, as well as adjusting their colors.
Visualization features do not affect calculations, meaning you could have all or nothing on the chart and the strategy will still produce results
SIGNAL CHOICES
Choose the fast/shorter length MA and the medium/longer length MA to determine the entry signal
CONFIRMATION OPTIONS
Both of these have customizable values and can be toggled on/off
A candle close over a slower/much longer length moving average
An additional cross-over (cross-under for Shorts) on the MACD indicator using default MACD values. While the MACD indicator is not necessary to have on the chart, it can help to add that for visualization. The calculations will perform whether the indicator is on the chart or not.
ADDITIONAL PLOTS
MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence):
- The MACD is an optional confirmation indicator for this strategy.
- Plotting the indicator is not necessary for the strategy to work, but it can be helpful to visually see the status and position of the MACD if this feature is enabled in the strategy
- This helps to identify if there is also momentum behind the entry signal
指数移動平均 (EMA)
Boosted Moving AverageOverview:
The Boosted Moving Average (BMA) is designed to enhance the traditional Exponential Moving Average (EMA) by introducing a boositng factor that amplifies its responsiveness to price changes. This means that the BMA will react more quickly to significant market movements, while still maintaining a smooth trajectory.
Key Features:
Boost Factor Sensitivity: Adjust the BMA's reactivity to price movements. A higher boost factor makes it more responsive, ideal for traders who want to catch price shifts early.
Dual EMA Calculation: The BMA combines two EMAs with different lengths to create a divergence that forms the basis for boosted values. This dual approach helps refine entry and exit points.
Smoothing: After boosting, the moving average is smoothed using another EMA, ensuring you get the clearest possible signal without over-complicating things.
Bullish/Bearish Coloring: The plot changes color based on the current trend, making it easy to visualize market direction:
How It Works:
The script calculates two EMAs: one with the given length and one with half that length.
The boost factor amplifies the difference between these two EMAs to provide an enhanced signal.
A final EMA is applied to smooth the resulting boosted moving average, ensuring clarity in market direction.
Color-coded trends make it easy to see if the market is bullish (green) or bearish (red).
Day & Swing Trading EMA Clouds with Adaptive LevelsDay & Swing Trading EMA Clouds with Adaptive Levels is a tool designed for traders who need a flexible indicator that adapts to both short-term (day trading) and long-term (swing trading) strategies. The indicator blends EMA clouds and adaptive support/resistance levels, making it suitable for analyzing trend strength and key price zones.
How It Works:
EMA Clouds for Trend Detection:
This indicator uses three EMAs (Fast, Intermediate, Slow) to create two clouds:
Fast Cloud: The area between the fast and Intermediate EMAs.
Slow Cloud: The area between the Intermediate and slow EMAs.
The cloud colors change based on trend direction:
Positive (uptrend): When the fast EMA is above the Intermediate EMA (turquoise) or the Intermediate EMA is above the slow EMA (teal).
Negative (downtrend): When the fast EMA is below the Intermediate EMA (pink) or the Intermediate EMA is below the slow EMA (magenta).
Traders can use these clouds to visually gauge market momentum and trend reversals.
Adaptive EMA Settings Based on Trading Mode:
The EMA lengths adjust automatically depending on whether you're in Day Trading or Swing Trading mode:
Day Trading Mode uses shorter periods to capture quick price movements:
Fast EMA: 5-period
Mid EMA: 13-period
Slow EMA: 21-period
Swing Trading Mode uses longer periods to capture broader trends:
Fast EMA: 12-period
Mid EMA: 26-period
Slow EMA: 50-period
This dynamic adjustment allows you to switch between trading styles seamlessly, with the EMAs reflecting the most relevant timeframes for each strategy.
Adaptive Support and Resistance Levels:
Depending on the selected trading mode, the indicator dynamically plots key levels:
Day Trading Mode: Previous day’s high, low, and midpoint, as well as 2-day levels.
Swing Trading Mode: Previous month’s high, low, and midpoint, as well as 2-month levels.
These levels act as dynamic support and resistance zones, giving traders critical areas to monitor for potential reversals or breakouts.
Buy & Sell Signals:
Visual buy/sell signals are generated when the fast EMA crosses above or below the slow EMA. These signals can help traders identify potential trend reversals.
Customization:
You can fully adjust the transparency and colors of the clouds to fit your personal preferences and trading style.
Why This Combination?
Combining EMA clouds with adaptive levels provides traders with a complete picture. The clouds highlight the underlying market momentum and trend strength, while the adaptive levels offer potential entry/exit points based on historical price action. This unique mashup allows traders to follow trends and plan trades around key support and resistance zones.
EMA GridThe EMA Grid indicator is a powerful tool that calculates the overall market sentiment by comparing the order of 20 different Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) over various lengths. The indicator assigns a rating based on how well-ordered the EMAs are relative to each other, representing the strength and direction of the market trend. It also smooths out the macro movements using cumulative calculations and visually represents the market sentiment through color-coded bands.
EMA Calculation:
The indicator uses a series of EMAs with different lengths, starting from 5 and going up to 100. Each EMA is calculated either using the exponential moving averages.
The EMAs form the grid that the indicator uses to measure the order and distance between them.
Rating Calculation:
The indicator computes the relative distance between consecutive EMAs and sums these differences.
The cumulative sum is further smoothed using multiple EMAs with different lengths (from 3 to 21). This smooths out short-term fluctuations and helps identify broader trends.
Market Sentiment Rating:
The overall sentiment is calculated by comparing the values of these smoothing EMAs. If the shorter-term EMA is above the longer-term EMA, it contributes positively to the sentiment; otherwise, it contributes negatively.
The final rating is a normalized value based on the relationship between these EMAs, producing a sentiment score between 1 (bullish) and -1 (bearish).
Color Coding and Bands:
The indicator uses the sentiment rating to color the space between the 100 EMA and 200 EMA, representing the strength of the trend.
If the sentiment is bullish (rating > 0), the band is shaded green. If the sentiment is bearish (rating < 0), the band is shaded red.
The intensity of the color is based on the strength of the sentiment, with stronger trends resulting in more saturated colors.
Utility for Traders:
The EMA Grid is ideal for traders looking to gauge the broader market trend by analyzing the structure and alignment of multiple EMAs. The color-coded band between the 100 and 200 EMAs provides an at-a-glance view of market momentum, helping traders make informed decisions based on the trend's strength and direction.
This indicator can be used to identify bullish or bearish conditions and offers a smoothed perspective on market trends, reducing noise and highlighting significant trend shifts.

EMA CheatsheetEMA Clouds Indicator: A Comprehensive Guide for Traders
The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Clouds indicator is a dynamic tool designed to provide traders with visual cues about the current trend and potential shifts in market momentum. The EMA is a type of moving average that gives more weight to recent price data, making it highly responsive to price changes compared to a Simple Moving Average (SMA). When used in the form of clouds, EMAs are layered on top of each other to form a visual representation of bullish and bearish trends.
Understanding EMA Clouds
EMA Clouds consist of two or more EMAs, typically a short-term EMA (e.g., 9-period) and a longer-term EMA (e.g., 21-period). When these two EMAs are plotted together, they create a "cloud" between them. The interaction between these EMAs gives traders critical insights into the market's trend:
Bullish Clouds: When the shorter-term EMA crosses above the longer-term EMA, the market is considered to be in a bullish trend. This creates a green (or lighter colored) cloud between the EMAs, signaling upward momentum. Bullish clouds suggest that buyers are in control, and the price is likely to continue higher.
Bearish Clouds: Conversely, when the shorter-term EMA crosses below the longer-term EMA, the market is considered to be in a bearish trend. This forms a red (or darker colored) cloud between the EMAs, indicating downward momentum. Bearish clouds imply that sellers are dominating the market, and the price is likely to decline.
Key Components of the EMA Clouds Indicator:
Short-Term EMA: This is the fast-moving average (e.g., 9-period EMA) and reacts quickly to recent price changes. It’s used to detect short-term shifts in momentum.
Long-Term EMA: This is the slower-moving average (e.g., 21-period EMA), which smooths out price data over a longer period and identifies the general trend direction.
Cloud: The area between the short-term and long-term EMAs. When this cloud is green (bullish), it indicates that the short-term trend is stronger than the long-term trend. When the cloud turns red (bearish), it suggests that the short-term trend is weaker than the long-term trend.
Cloud Thickness: The thickness of the cloud provides additional information about the strength of the trend. A thicker cloud suggests strong price divergence between short and long-term trends, which could indicate a robust trend. A thinner cloud, on the other hand, may signal trend weakness or consolidation.

Options Series - MTF 1 and 3 Minute
Objective:
The indicator is named "Options Series - MTF 1 and 3 Minute", suggesting it's designed to analyze options series with multiple time frames (MTF), particularly focusing on 1-minute and 3-minute intervals.
OHLC Values Of Candle:
The code fetches the Open, High, Low, and Close (OHLC) values of the current candle for the specified ticker and timeframes (current, 1 minute, and 3 minutes). Additionally, it calculates the 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing prices for each timeframe.
Bull vs. Bear Condition:
It defines conditions for Bullish and Bearish scenarios based on comparing the current close price with the previous 200-period SMA close price for both 1-minute and 3-minute timeframes. If the current close price is higher than the previous 200-period SMA close price, it's considered Bullish, and if it's lower, it's considered Bearish.
Final Color Condition and Plot:
It determines the color of the candlestick based on the Bullish or Bearish condition. If the conditions for a Bullish scenario are met, the candlestick color is set to green (GreenColorCandle). If the conditions for a Bearish scenario are met, the candlestick color is set to red (RedColorCandle). If neither condition is met (i.e., the candle is neither Bullish nor Bearish), the color remains gray.
The code then plots the 200-period SMA values for both 1-minute and 3-minute timeframes and colors them based on the candlestick color. It also colors the bars based on the candlestick color.
Insights:
This indicator focuses on comparing current close prices with the 200-period SMA close prices to determine market sentiment (Bullish or Bearish).
It utilizes multiple time frames (1 minute and 3 minutes) to provide a broader perspective on market movements.
The color-coded candlesticks and bars make it visually easy to identify Bullish and Bearish trends.
This indicator can be used as part trading based on the identified market sentiment.

Dema Ema Crossover | viResearchDema Ema Crossover | viResearch
Conceptual Foundation and Innovation
The "Dema Ema Crossover" indicator combines the strengths of the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) with an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crossover strategy. The DEMA is well-known for its ability to reduce lag compared to standard moving averages, offering smoother trend-following signals. In this script, the DEMA is used as the foundation, with two EMAs applied on top of it to further refine the trend detection and crossover points. This combination provides traders with a robust tool for identifying trend shifts and potential entry or exit points.
By leveraging the faster responsiveness of the DEMA and using EMA crossovers, the "Dema Ema Crossover" indicator helps traders detect and act on trend reversals more efficiently, making it a powerful solution for capturing both short- and long-term market movements.
Technical Composition and Calculation
The "Dema Ema Crossover" script consists of three main components: the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA), the fast EMA, and the slow EMA. The DEMA is calculated based on the selected length and source price, providing a smooth representation of market trends. Two EMAs are then applied to the DEMA, with one being faster (shorter period) and the other slower (longer period). The crossover between these two EMAs generates the signals for trend changes.
For the DEMA, the calculation uses the ta.dema function, which reduces lag while maintaining smoothness in the moving average. The fast and slow EMAs are calculated using the ta.ema function, with the fast EMA responding more quickly to price changes, while the slow EMA captures broader trends. The crossover between these two EMAs is used to generate buy and sell signals based on the direction of the crossover.
Features and User Inputs
The "Dema Ema Crossover" script offers several customizable inputs that allow traders to tailor the indicator to their trading strategies. The DEMA Length controls how smooth the DEMA is, with a longer length creating a slower-moving average and a shorter length providing a more responsive one. The Fast EMA Length and Slow EMA Length are also customizable, allowing traders to adjust the sensitivity of the crossover signals based on their market outlook and preferred trading timeframe.
Practical Applications
The "Dema Ema Crossover" indicator is designed for traders looking for a reliable crossover strategy that combines the responsiveness of the DEMA with the precision of EMA crossovers. This tool is particularly effective for:
Identifying Trend Reversals: The crossover between the fast and slow EMAs applied to the DEMA provides early signals of potential trend reversals, allowing traders to position themselves in the market more effectively. Confirming Trend Direction: The combined effect of the DEMA and EMA crossovers helps confirm the strength of a trend, improving decision-making around trade entries and exits. Adapting to Different Market Conditions: The customizable parameters allow traders to adjust the sensitivity of the crossover signals, making the indicator suitable for both fast-moving markets and slower, trending environments.
Advantages and Strategic Value

Uptrick: Volume-Weighted EMA Signal### **Uptrick: Volume-Weighted EMA Signal (UVES) Indicator - Comprehensive Description**
#### **Overview**
The **Uptrick: Volume-Weighted EMA Signal (UVES)** is an advanced, multifaceted trading indicator meticulously designed to provide traders with a holistic view of market trends by integrating Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) with volume analysis. This indicator not only identifies the direction of market trends through dynamic EMAs but also evaluates the underlying strength of these trends using real-time volume data. UVES is a versatile tool suitable for various trading styles and markets, offering a high degree of customization to meet the specific needs of individual traders.
#### **Purpose**
The UVES indicator aims to enhance traditional trend-following strategies by incorporating a critical yet often overlooked component: volume. Volume is a powerful indicator of market strength, providing insights into the conviction behind price movements. By merging EMA-based trend signals with detailed volume analysis, UVES offers a more nuanced and reliable approach to identifying trading opportunities. This dual-layer analysis allows traders to differentiate between strong trends supported by significant volume and weaker trends that may be prone to reversals.
#### **Key Features and Functions**
1. **Dynamic Exponential Moving Average (EMA):**
- The core of the UVES indicator is its dynamic EMA, calculated over a customizable period. The EMA is a widely used technical indicator that smooths price data to identify the underlying trend. In UVES, the EMA is dynamically colored—green when the current EMA value is above the previous value, indicating an uptrend, and red when below, signaling a downtrend. This visual cue helps traders quickly assess the trend direction without manually calculating or interpreting raw data.
2. **Comprehensive Moving Average Customization:**
- While the EMA is the default moving average in UVES, traders can select from various other moving average types, including Simple Moving Average (SMA), Smoothed Moving Average (SMMA), Weighted Moving Average (WMA), and Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA). Each type offers unique characteristics:
- **SMA:** Provides a simple average of prices over a specified period, suitable for identifying long-term trends.
- **EMA:** Gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to recent market movements.
- **SMMA (RMA):** A slower-moving average that reduces noise, ideal for capturing smoother trends.
- **WMA:** Weighs prices based on their order in the dataset, making recent prices more influential.
- **VWMA:** Integrates volume data, emphasizing price movements that occur with higher volume, making it particularly useful in volume-sensitive markets.
3. **Signal Line for Trend Confirmation:**
- UVES includes an optional signal line, which applies a secondary moving average to the primary EMA. This signal line can be used to smooth out the EMA and confirm trend changes. The signal line’s color changes based on its slope—green for an upward slope and red for a downward slope—providing a clear visual confirmation of trend direction. Traders can adjust the length and type of this signal line, allowing them to tailor the indicator’s responsiveness to their trading strategy.
4. **Buy and Sell Signal Generation:**
- UVES generates explicit buy and sell signals based on the interaction between the EMA and the signal line. A **buy signal** is triggered when the EMA transitions from a red (downtrend) to a green (uptrend), indicating a potential entry point. Conversely, a **sell signal** is triggered when the EMA shifts from green to red, suggesting an exit or shorting opportunity. These signals are displayed directly on the chart as upward or downward arrows, making them easily identifiable even during fast market conditions.
5. **Volume Analysis with Real-Time Buy/Sell Volume Table:**
- One of the standout features of UVES is its integration of volume analysis, which calculates and displays the volume attributed to buying and selling activities. This analysis includes:
- **Buy Volume:** The portion of the total volume associated with price increases (close higher than open).
- **Sell Volume:** The portion of the total volume associated with price decreases (close lower than open).
- **Buy/Sell Ratio:** A ratio of buy volume to sell volume, providing a quick snapshot of market sentiment.
- These metrics are presented in a real-time table positioned in the top-right corner of the chart, with customizable colors and formatting. The table updates with each new bar, offering continuous feedback on the strength and direction of the market trend based on volume data.
6. **Customizable Settings and User Control:**
- **EMA Length and Source:** Traders can specify the lookback period for the EMA, adjusting its sensitivity to price changes. The source for EMA calculations can also be customized, with options such as close, open, high, low, or other custom price series.
- **Signal Line Customization:** The signal line’s length, type, and width can be adjusted to suit different trading strategies, allowing traders to optimize the balance between trend detection and noise reduction.
- **Offset Adjustment:** The offset feature allows users to shift the EMA and signal line forward or backward on the chart. This can help align the indicator with specific price action or adjust for latency in decision-making processes.
- **Volume Table Positioning and Formatting:** The position, size, and color scheme of the volume table are fully customizable, enabling traders to integrate the table seamlessly into their chart setup without cluttering the visual workspace.
7. **Versatility Across Markets and Trading Styles:**
- UVES is designed to be effective across a wide range of financial markets, including Forex, stocks, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and indices. Its adaptability to different markets is supported by its comprehensive customization options and the inclusion of volume analysis, which is particularly valuable in markets where volume plays a crucial role in price movement.
#### **How Different Traders Can Benefit from UVES**
1. **Trend Followers:**
- Trend-following traders will find UVES particularly beneficial for identifying and riding trends. The dynamic EMA and signal line provide clear visual cues for trend direction, while the volume analysis helps confirm the strength of these trends. This combination allows trend followers to stay in profitable trades longer and exit when the trend shows signs of weakening.
2. **Volume-Based Traders:**
- Traders who focus on volume as a key indicator of market strength can leverage the UVES volume table to gain insights into the buying and selling pressure behind price movements. By monitoring the buy/sell ratio, these traders can identify periods of strong conviction (high buy volume) or potential reversals (high sell volume) with greater accuracy.
3. **Scalpers and Day Traders:**
- For traders operating on shorter time frames, UVES provides quick and reliable signals that are essential for making rapid trading decisions. The ability to customize the EMA length and type allows scalpers to fine-tune the indicator for responsiveness, while the volume analysis offers an additional layer of confirmation to avoid false signals.
4. **Swing Traders:**
- Swing traders, who typically hold positions for several days to weeks, can use UVES to identify medium-term trends and potential entry and exit points. The indicator’s ability to filter out market noise through the signal line and volume analysis makes it ideal for capturing significant price movements without being misled by short-term volatility.
5. **Position Traders and Long-Term Investors:**
- Even long-term investors can benefit from UVES by using it to identify major trend reversals or confirm the strength of long-term trends. The flexibility to adjust the EMA and signal line to longer periods ensures that the indicator remains relevant for detecting shifts in market sentiment over extended time frames.
#### **Optimal Settings for Different Markets**
- **Forex Markets:**
- **EMA Length:** 9 to 14 periods.
- **Signal Line:** Use VWMA or WMA for the signal line to incorporate volume data, which is crucial in the highly liquid Forex markets.
- **Best Use:** Short-term trend following, with an emphasis on identifying rapid changes in market sentiment.
- **Stock Markets:**
- **EMA Length:** 20 to 50 periods.
- **Signal Line:** SMA or EMA with a slightly longer length (e.g., 50 periods) to capture broader market trends.
- **Best Use:** Medium to long-term trend identification, with volume analysis confirming the strength of institutional buying or selling.
- **Cryptocurrency Markets:**
- **EMA Length:** 9 to 12 periods, due to the high volatility in crypto markets.
- **Signal Line:** SMMA or EMA for smoothing out extreme price fluctuations.
- **Best Use:** Identifying entry and exit points in volatile markets, with the volume table providing insights into market manipulation or sudden shifts in trader sentiment.
- **Commodity Markets:**
- **EMA Length:** 14 to 21 periods.
- **Signal Line:** WMA or VWMA, considering the impact of trading volume on commodity prices.
- **Best Use:** Capturing medium-term price movements and confirming trend strength with volume data.
#### **Customization for Advanced Users**
- **Advanced Offset Usage:** Traders can experiment with different offset values to see how shifting the EMA and signal line impacts the timing of buy/sell signals. This can be particularly useful in markets with known latency or for strategies that require a delayed confirmation of trend changes.
- **Volume Table Integration:** The position, size, and colors of the volume table can be adjusted to fit seamlessly into any trading setup. For example, a trader might choose to position the table in the bottom-right corner and use a smaller size to keep the focus on price action while still having access to volume data.
- **Signal Filtering:** By combining the signal line with the primary EMA, traders can filter out false signals during periods of low volatility or when the market is range-bound. Adjusting the length of the signal line allows for greater control over the sensitivity of the trend detection.
#### **Conclusion**
The **Uptrick: Volume-Weighted EMA Signal (UVES)** is a powerful and adaptable indicator designed for traders who demand more from their technical analysis tools. By integrating dynamic EMA trend signals with real-time volume analysis, UVES offers a comprehensive view of market conditions, making it an invaluable resource for identifying trends, confirming signals, and understanding market sentiment. Whether you are a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, UVES provides the versatility, precision, and customization needed to make more informed and profitable trading decisions. With its ability to adapt to various markets and trading styles, UVES is not just an indicator but a complete trend analysis solution.

Uptrick: EMA Trend Indicator
### Overview
The goal of this script is to visually indicate on a trading chart whether all three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are trending upwards (i.e., their slopes are positive). If all EMAs are trending upwards, the script will color the bars green. If not, the bars will be colored red.
### Key Concepts
1. **Exponential Moving Average (EMA)**: An EMA is a type of moving average that places more weight on recent data, making it more responsive to price changes compared to a simple moving average (SMA). In this script, we use three different EMAs with different lengths (20, 50, and 200 periods).
2. **Slope of an EMA**: The slope of an EMA refers to the direction in which the EMA is moving. If the current value of the EMA is higher than its value in the previous bar, the slope is positive (upward). Conversely, if the current value is lower than its previous value, the slope is negative (downward).
3. **Bar Color Coding**: The script changes the color of the bars on the chart to provide a visual cue:
- **Green Bars**: Indicate that all three EMAs are trending upwards.
- **Red Bars**: Indicate that one or more EMAs are not trending upwards.
### Detailed Breakdown
#### 1. Input Fields
- **EMA Lengths**: The script starts by allowing the user to input the lengths for the three EMAs. These lengths determine how many periods (e.g., days) are used to calculate each EMA.
- `ema20_length` is set to 20, meaning the first EMA uses the last 20 bars of data.
- `ema50_length` is set to 50, meaning the second EMA uses the last 50 bars of data.
- `ema200_length` is set to 200, meaning the third EMA uses the last 200 bars of data.
#### 2. EMA Calculation
- The script calculates the values of the three EMAs:
- **EMA 20**: This is calculated using the last 20 bars of closing prices.
- **EMA 50**: This is calculated using the last 50 bars of closing prices.
- **EMA 200**: This is calculated using the last 200 bars of closing prices.
These calculations result in three values for each bar on the chart, each representing the EMA value at that point in time.
#### 3. Determining EMA Slopes
- **EMA Slopes**: To understand the trend of each EMA, the script compares the current value of each EMA to its value in the previous bar:
- For the 20-period EMA, the script checks if today’s EMA value is higher than yesterday’s EMA value.
- This process is repeated for the 50-period and 200-period EMAs.
- If today’s EMA value is greater than yesterday’s value, the slope is positive (upward).
- If today’s EMA value is not greater (it is either equal to or less than yesterday’s value), the slope is not positive.
#### 4. Evaluating All Slopes
- **All Slopes Positive Condition**: The script combines the results of the individual slope checks into a single condition. It uses a logical "AND" operation:
- The condition will be `true` only if all three EMAs (20, 50, and 200) have positive slopes.
- If any one of the EMAs does not have a positive slope, the condition will be `false`.
#### 5. Coloring the Bars
- **Bar Coloring Logic**: Based on the above condition, the script decides the color of each bar on the chart:
- If all slopes are positive (condition is `true`), the bar is colored green.
- If any slope is not positive (condition is `false`), the bar is colored red.
- **Visual Cue**: This provides a quick, visual indication to traders:
- Green bars suggest that the market is in an upward trend across all three EMAs, which might indicate a strong bullish trend.
- Red bars suggest that the trend is not uniformly upward, which could be a sign of weakening momentum or a potential reversal.
#### 6. Alerts
- **Alert Conditions**: The script also allows for alert conditions to be set based on the slope analysis:
- An alert can be triggered when all EMA slopes are positive. This might be useful for traders who want to be notified when the market shows strong upward momentum.
### Summary
- The script essentially takes the market data and applies three different EMAs to it, each with a different time frame.
- It then checks the direction (slope) of each of these EMAs to determine if they are all trending upwards.
- If they are, the script colors the bar green, signaling a potentially strong bullish trend.
- If any of the EMAs is not trending upwards, it colors the bar red, indicating a potential issue with the strength of the trend.
This approach helps traders quickly assess market conditions based on multiple EMAs, providing a clearer picture of the overall trend across different time frames.
Negroni Opening Range StrategyStrategy Summary:
This tool can be used to help identify breakouts from a range during a time-zone of your choosing. It plots a pre-market range, an opening range, it also includes moving average levels that can be used as confluence, as well as plotting previous day SESSION highs and lows.
There are several options on how you wish to close out the trades, all described in more detail below.
Back-testing Inputs:
You define your timezone.
You define how many trades to open on any given day.
You decide to go: long only, short only, or long & short (CAREFUL: "Long & Short" can open trades that effectively closes-out existing ones, for better AND worse!)
You define between which times the strategy will open trades.
You define when it closes any open trades (preventing overnight trades, or leaving trades open into US data times!!).
This hopefully helps make back-testing reflect YOUR trading hours.
NOTE: Renko or Heikin-Ashi charts
For ALL strategies, don’t use Renko or Heikin-Ashi charts unless you know EXACTLY the implications.
Specific to my strategy, using a renko chart can make this 85-90% profitable (I wish it was!!) Although they can be useful, renko charts don’t always capture real wicks, so the renko chart may show your trade up-only but your broker (who is not using renko!!) will have likely stopped you out on a wick somewhere along the line.
NOTE: TradingView ‘Deep backtesting’
For ALL strategies, be cynical of all backtesting (e.g. repainting issues etc) as well as ‘Deep backtesting’ results.
Specific to this strategy, the default settings here SHOULD BE OK, but unfortunately at the time of writing, we can’t see on the chart what exactly ‘deep backtesting’ is calculating. In the past I have noted a number of trades that were not closed at the end of the day, despite my ‘end of day’ trade closing being enabled, so there were big winners and losers that would not have materialized otherwise. As I say, this seems ok at these settings but just always be cynical!!
Opening Range Inputs
You define a pre-market range (example: 08:00 - 09:00).
You define an opening range (example: 09:00 - 09:30).
The strategy will give an update at the close of the opening range to let you know if the opening range has broken out the pre-market range (OR Breakout), or if it has remained inside (OR Inside). The label appears at the end of the opening range NOT at the bar that ‘broke-out’.
This is just a visual cue for you, it has no bearing on what the strategy will do.
The strategy default will trade off the pre-market range, but you can untick this if you prefer to trade off the opening range.
Opening Trades:
Strategy goes long when the bar (CLOSE) crosses-over the ‘pre-market’ high (not the ‘opening range’ high); and the time is within your trading session, and you have not maxed out your number of trades for the day!
Strategy goes short when the bar (CLOSE) crosses-under the ‘pre-market’ low (not the ‘opening range low); and the time is within your trading session, and you have not maxed out your number of trades for the day!
Remember, you can untick this if you prefer to trade off the opening range instead.
NOTES:
Using momentum indicators can help (RSI and MACD): especially to trade range plays in failed breakouts, when momentum shifts… but the strategy won’t do this for you!
Using an anchored vwap at the session open can also provide nice confluence, as well as take-profit levels at the upper/lower of 3x standard deviation.
CLOSING TRADES:
You have 6 take-profit (TP) options:
1) Full TP: uses ATR Multiplier - Full TP at the ATR parameters as defined in inputs.
2) Take Partial profits: ATR Multiplier - Takes partial profits based on parameters as defined in inputs (i.e close 40% of original trade at TP1, close another 40% of original trade at TP2, then the remainder at Full TP as set in option 1.).
3) Full TP: Trailing Stop - Applies a Trailing Stop at the number of points, as defined in inputs.
4) Full TP: MA cross - Takes profit when price crosses ‘Trend MA’ as defined in inputs.
5) Scalp: Points - closes at a set number of points, as defined in inputs.
6) Full TP: PMKT Multiplier - places a SL at opposite pre-market Hi/Low (we go long at a break-out of the pre-market high, 50% would place a SL at the pre-market range mid-point; 100% would place a SL at the pre-market low)'. This takes profit at the input set in option 1).
