Trend Trade ( in W, D, H, 15M )Condition:
Uptrend, EMA5 > EMA8 > EMA13
Downtrend, EMA5 < EMA8 < EMA13
EMA# input can be changed by user.
Trading Plan:
1. Long in Uptrend when Price croseover EMA5;
Buy EMA5 + 0.03 (Do not wait for close), initial stop EMA13-0.03
If it is a big Gap up, do not chase. Let it go;
2. Short in Downtrend when Price croseunder EMA5;
Short EMA5 - 0.03 (Do not wait for close), initial stop EMA13+0.03
If it is a big Gap Down, do not chase. Let it go;
3. No target strategy in this study;

Ehlers Correlation Angle IndicatorThe Correlation Angle Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Stocks & Commodities V. 38:06 (8–15)) and this is technically three indicators in one so I'm splitting each one to a separate script. This particular indicator was designed for trend termination and simply buy when it is green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if you would like to see me publish other scripts or if you want something custom done!
Relative StrengthThis indicator is called Relative Strength and is no way related to RSI ( Relative strength indicator).
It is simply a ratio of asset A to asset B plotted. Usually it is used to look for strength vs a particular index. Since it is a ratio, all the trendlines work on it. The default index is NIFTY. You can change it any index/script you want to compare:
1. Script vs Index
2. Index vs Index
Trend Exhaustion IndicatorThe Trend Exhaustion Indicator is a custom indicator of mine that is loosely based on the Trend Exhaustion Index created by Clifford L. Creel Ph.D. (Stocks & Commodities V. 9:1 (9-11))
This indicator will let you know the trend reversal points and when it falls below the signal line then the trend is ending vice versa. Buy when the indicator crosses above the signal line and sell when it falls below the signal line.
Let me know if you would like to see me write any other scripts!
Uber Trend IndicatorThis is my first custom indicator that I created as a medium to long term trend indicator. Buy if it is above 0 and sell if it is below 0.
Since this is my first unique indicator, I would love to hear your feedback! Please let me know if you would like to see any other scripts!
Validated PSARPSAR works well as trailing stop loss (or WinStop), but is often whipsaw'd as it detect trend changes over enthusiastically.
So, a filter to validate trend changes was added. It basically requires 3 straight bars completely breaking the prior saved PSAR level.
Enjoy!
Trend Following MAs 3DHello All,
This is Moving Averages Trend Following 3D indicator. The idea is based on direction of MAs and relation between 20 moving averages (5 to 100 period).
Option to show different type of MAs: EMA, SMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA.
As I haved tested it looks succesful at calculating trend direction and trend strength.
For a better look I tried to make it 3D, it looks good I think, waiting comments ;)
Some screenshots:
By using RMA type:
When it gets tiny it means there is no trend:

Automatic TrendlinesIntroduction
For a full free tutorial explaining this code in more detail, visit the backtest-rookies (.com) website.
This indicator will plot two trend lines at any given time. A resistance trend line and a support trend line. The resistance trend is shown with red circles and is created by joining swing highs together. The second is a support trend which is created by joining swing lows.
Since we need swings to make the trend, the trend line code contains code for the swing detection. You can play around with the swing detection to alter how frequently new trend lines are detected. Relying on swings also means that there will be some delay in trend detection depending on how you configure the swing detection. The higher you set rightbars, the more lag you will have before a trend is detected. However, at the same time the quality of the pivots found will increase. So it is a trade-off you need to come to terms with and decide what the best settings are for you.
Lines
A single trend line is made up of several components.
Pivot Points: Marked as blue or orange circles. There will be two pivots per trend.
Orange/Purple Lines: Connecting all pivot points. You will see these lines change direction slightly each time a new pivot is detected (new circles appear).
Green/Red Circle lines: Showing the trend line from the earliest moment a new trend is detected.
Blue Dashed lines: Joining the purple and green/red circle lines so the full trend line can be seen.
Note: The blue dashed lines use pine-scripts drawing functions. As such, there is a limit to how many of these can be placed on a chart. When the limit is reached, the oldest line will be removed so the newest can be drawn. This means that if you detect enough trends and scroll back in time, the blue dashed lines will disappear at some point!
Trend LinesHello Everyone! This is my new trend lines script (after beta version that was published almost one year ago)
The idea is to find Pivot Highs (PH) and Pivot Lows(PL) first.
Then, If current PH is smaller then previous PH (means no new higher high and possible downtrend) then draw trend line using them. and also it checks previous trend line (if exits) and if current angle is smaller then don't extend previous one.
Same idea when using Pivot Lows, If current PL is higher then previous PL (means no new lower low and possible uptrend) then draw trend line using them. and also it checks previous trend line (if exits) and if current angle is smaller then don't extend previous one.
Optionally style of old trend lines drawn as dashed.
Hope you enjoy it!
Reflex & Trendflex█ OVERVIEW
Reflex and Trendflex are zero-lag oscillators that decompose price into independent cycle and trend components using SuperSmoother filtering. These indicators isolate each component separately, providing clearer identification of cyclical reversals (Reflex) versus trending movements (Trendflex).
Based on Dr. John F. Ehlers' "Reflex: A New Zero-Lag Indicator" article (February 2020, TASC), both oscillators use normalized slope deviation analysis to minimize lag while maintaining signal clarity. The SuperSmoother filter removes high-frequency noise, then deviations from linear regression (Reflex) or current value (Trendflex) are measured and normalized by RMS for consistent amplitude across instruments and timeframes.
█ CONCEPTS
SuperSmoother Filter
Both oscillators begin with a two-pole Butterworth low-pass filter that smooths price data without the excessive lag of simple moving averages. The filter uses exponential decay coefficients and cosine modulation based on the cutoff period, providing aggressive smoothing while preserving signal timing.
Reflex: Cycle Component
Reflex isolates cyclical price behavior by measuring deviation from a linear regression line fitted through the SuperSmoother output. For each bar, the filter calculates a linear slope over the lookback period, then sums how much the smoothed price deviates from this trendline. These deviations represent pure cyclical movement - price oscillations around the dominant trend. The result is normalized by RMS (root mean square) to produce consistent amplitude regardless of volatility or timeframe.
Trendflex: Trend Component
Trendflex extracts trending behavior by measuring cumulative deviation from the current SuperSmoother value. Instead of comparing to a regression line, it simply sums the differences between the current smoothed value and all past values in the period. This captures sustained directional movement rather than oscillations. Like Reflex, normalization by RMS ensures comparable readings across different instruments.
RMS Normalization
Both oscillators normalize their raw deviation measurements using an exponentially weighted RMS calculation: `rms = 0.04 * deviation² + 0.96 * rms `. This adaptive normalization ensures the oscillator amplitude remains stable as volatility changes, making threshold levels meaningful across different market conditions.
█ INTERPRETATION
Reflex (Cycle Component)
Oscillates around zero representing cyclical price behavior isolated from trend:
• Above zero : Price is in upward phase of cycle
• Below zero : Price is in downward phase of cycle
• Zero crossings : Potential cycle reversal points
• Extremes : Indicate stretched cyclical condition, often precede mean reversion
Best used for identifying cyclical turning points in ranging or oscillating markets. More sensitive to reversals than Trendflex.
Trendflex (Trend Component)
Oscillates around zero representing trending behavior isolated from cycles:
• Above zero : Sustained upward trend
• Below zero : Sustained downward trend
• Zero crossings : Trend direction changes
• Magnitude : Strength of trend (larger absolute values = stronger trend)
Best used for confirming trend direction and identifying trend exhaustion. Less noisy than Reflex due to focus on directional movement rather than oscillations.
Combined Analysis
Using both oscillators together provides powerful signal confirmation:
• Both positive: Strong uptrend with positive cycle phase (high probability long setup)
• Both negative: Strong downtrend with negative cycle phase (high probability short setup)
• Divergent signals: Conflicting cycle and trend (choppy conditions, reduce position size)
• Reflex reversal with Trendflex agreement: Cyclical turn within established trend (entry/exit timing)
Dynamic Thresholds
Threshold bands identify statistically significant oscillator readings that warrant attention:
• Breach above +threshold : Strong bullish cycle (Reflex) or trend (Trendflex) behavior - potential overbought condition
• Breach below -threshold : Strong bearish cycle or trend behavior - potential oversold condition
• Return inside thresholds : Signal strength normalizing, potential reversal or consolidation ahead
• Threshold compression : During low volatility, thresholds narrow (especially with StdDev mode), making breaches more frequent
• Threshold expansion : During high volatility, thresholds widen, filtering out minor oscillations
Combine threshold breaches with zero-line position for stronger signals:
• Threshold breach + zero-line cross = high-conviction signal
• Threshold breach without zero-line support = monitor for confirmation
Alert Conditions
Six built-in alerts trigger on bar close (no repainting):
• Above +Threshold : Oscillator crossed above positive threshold (strong bullish behavior)
• Below -Threshold : Oscillator crossed below negative threshold (strong bearish behavior)
• Reflex Above Zero : Reflex crossed above zero (bullish cycle phase)
• Reflex Below Zero : Reflex crossed below zero (bearish cycle phase)
• Trendflex Above Zero : Trendflex crossed above zero (bullish trend shift)
• Trendflex Below Zero : Trendflex crossed below zero (bearish trend shift)
█ SETTINGS & PARAMETER TUNING
Oscillator Settings
• Source : Price series to decompose
• Reflex Period (5-50): SuperSmoother period for cycle component. Lower values increase responsiveness to cyclical turns but add noise. Default 20.
• Trendflex Period (5-50): SuperSmoother period for trend component. Lower values respond faster to trend changes. Default 20.
Display Settings
• Reflex/Trendflex Display : Toggle visibility and customize colors for each oscillator independently
• Zero Line : Reference line showing neutral oscillator position
Dynamic Thresholds
Optional significance bands that identify when oscillator readings indicate strong cyclical or trending behavior:
• Threshold Mode : Choose calculation method based on market characteristics
- MAD (Median Absolute Deviation) : Outlier-resistant, best for markets with occasional spikes (default)
- Standard Deviation : Volatility-sensitive, adapts quickly to regime changes
- Percentile Rank : Fixed probability bands (e.g., 90% = only 10% of values exceed threshold)
• Apply To : Select which oscillator (Reflex or Trendflex) to calculate thresholds for
• Period (2-200): Lookback window for threshold calculation. Default 50.
• Multiplier (k) : Scaling factor for MAD/StdDev modes. Higher values = fewer threshold breaches (default 1.5)
• Percentile (%) : For Percentile mode only. Higher percentile = more selective threshold (default 90%)
Parameter Interactions
• Shorter periods make both oscillators more sensitive but noisier
• Reflex typically more volatile than Trendflex at same period settings
• For ranging markets: shorter Reflex period (10-15) captures swings better
• For trending markets: shorter Trendflex period (10-15) follows trend shifts faster
█ LIMITATIONS
Inherent Characteristics
• Near-zero lag, not zero-lag : Despite the name, some lag remains from SuperSmoother filtering
• Normalization artifacts : RMS normalization can produce unusual readings during volatility regime changes
• Period dependency : Oscillator characteristics change significantly with different period settings - no "correct" universal parameter
Market Conditions to Avoid
• Very low volatility : Normalization amplifies noise in quiet markets, producing false signals
• Sudden gaps : SuperSmoother assumes continuous data; large gaps disrupt filter continuity requiring bars to stabilize
• Micro timeframes : Sub-minute charts contain microstructure noise that overwhelms signal quality
Parameter Selection Pitfalls
• Matching periods to dominant cycle : If period doesn't align with actual market cycle period, signals degrade
• Threshold over-tuning : Optimizing threshold parameters for past data often fails forward - use conservative defaults
• Ignoring component differences : Reflex and Trendflex measure different aspects - don't expect identical behavior

BEST Supertrend StrategyHello traders
Sharing a sample Supertrend strategy to illustrate how to calculate a convergence and using it in a strategy
I based the setup as follow:
- Entries on Supertrend MTF breakout + moving average cross. Entering whenever there is a convergence
- exit whenever a Simple Moving Averages cross in the opposite direction happen
- possibility to filter only Longs/Shorts or both
All the best

Pivot Reversal Strategy - FIGS & DATES 2.0Simple Pivot Reversal Strategy with some adding settings.
Date Range: To test over specific market conditions.
Initial Capitol: $10K - This is a more realistic representation of funds used this strategy (for me anyway). The default of $100K can give different results (usually better) than when using a smaller balance.
Order Size: 100% Equity - These trend following strategies typically used this way, going all in each direction.
Commission: .075% - It's always disheartening to think you've found a ridiculously good setting, and then realize you forgot to add the commission.
All of these settings can be changed, but it's easier for me (and more fool proof) to have them set as default.
Trend Direction Helper (ZigZag and S/R and HH/LL labels)Hey everyone
First of all, I'd like to thank Ricardo Santos, Backtest Rookies for the inspiration for this script.
Actually, most of it is coming from them and I only mixed them up (and added my secret sauce ^^). If some of you are not thinking about a trading secret sauce, please get serious for a moment :)
Some of you asked me how I do to set the trend direction. You all understood that if you get an UP label, then the price should go up and vice-versa for down.
But it's not so easy to define the good signals for each asset and each timeframe. I'm going to repeat what I said yesterday because ... well... that's what trading is about
So quoting myself here "The inputs set by default will have to be changed for your asset/timeframe and can't be generic for everything. You have to play with the inputs until the signals will make sense to you
The indicator/strategy with a unique configuration that you'll never check or update according to the market condition DOES NOT exit. "
BUT... a bit of patience and practice and you might do wonders.
The Method
I never realized until now but by connecting the higher highs/lower lows, I was drawing zigzag lines.
The Zig Zag Master is Ricardo Santos . Please give him a follow, he's awesome
For those who don't want to draw on the chart or (my preferred choice) need some inspiration to define your trend directions, this script is for YOU (and your family, your pet, your girlfriend/boyfriend, ...)
I think that each asset/timeframe chart has its own history. What worked in a post could work in the future.
In that regard, if a trend direction worked in the past, that's the parameter that I'll use to trade with it in a demo account and make sure it's relevant. If not then I will adjust
If you're trading with new indicators or a new method right away on your real trading account, you're gonna have a bad time imgflip.com
Lines EVERYWHERE
The script draws the classical horizontal pivots + the zig zag lines + the Higher Highs/Lower Lows label in just 1 script. I'm very excited to share a script (on which I coded 100 lines out of 500) but no one else did it
The horizontal pivots part are coming from Backtest Rookies
For more security, you can add a pullback on a moving average after getting a signal. Pullbacks are necessary to limit any eventual loss or maximize your gains by getting in the trend sooner.
I really give you a solid method and a great script in my opinion. 6 years of experience given away for FREE :p (when Dave will start thinking as a business man instead :O)
Does it repaint ?
Getting this question twice a day. You guys are obsessed with the repainting :)
Short answer, yes because it will calculate the pivots and zig zags whenever new higher highs/lower lows will be formed.
However, the trend direction code is based on the candle close so it shouldn't repaint. If it does, please let me know
See you all on Monday
Love you all
Dave

Trend Lines+++scripts taken from
Nothing here is mine , just put it as I like the combination of those script together when I analyse data
so it make life easy to draw line automode
I suggest 4 hours or daily chart with MACD and RSI
Thanks to autors in scripts
Higher High Lower Low Strategy (With Source Code)This script finds pivot highs and pivot lows then calculates higher highs & lower lows. And also it calculates support/resistance by using HH-HL-LL-LH points.
Generally HH and HL shows up-trend, LL and LH shows down-trend.
If price breaks resistance levels it means the trend is up or if price breaks support level it means the trend is down, so the script changes bar color blue or black. if there is up-trend then bar color is blue, or if down-trend then bar color is black. also as you can see support and resistance levels change dynamically.
If you use smaller numbers for left/right bars then it will be more sensitive.

Zero Lag - ZigZag - JDThis is a alternative version of the well known "ZigZag indicator" but it uses turning points of the Jurik ma
instead of the traditional "pivot points" that are by definition lagging by a large lookback period, the (almost-) Zero Lag ZigZag lags by about 2 bars on average (depending on the candles forming)
The ZigZag pattern can be used to draw trendlines and S/R lines
It can also be used for "wave counting" in a way that reduces interpretation.
If you find other uses, please leave your ideas in the comments!
Shoutout to Everget for the awesome Jurik code!!

[New series!] [Consistent Losing Strategies] 34 EMA Scalping//---------------------------INTRO------------------------------
Hi All!
Let me introduce myself as a semi-successful forex trader & lover of automation.
I've taken to algo trading and have been hunting down strategies (that usually use indicators) to automate, backtest, and hopefully implement in MT4.
Unfortunately, most strategies are complete bulls*** and the select cases that are shown to "prove" success are limited.
These strategy sources often do not provide useful analytics either.
I want to change that approach to trading! We can really benefit each other and the community by being methodical about backtesting
as well as evaluating our results with some kind of scoring heuristic.
As for what that standardized process looks like..well I'm still working on it.
I'm pretty much on Tv for multiple hours of the day, screening strategies via Pinescript and I'd like to start sharing my progress!
This is a new series I'd like to start on consistently losing strategies. I'll make all the code public, so if you think I've made a blunder
or approached a problem the wrong way, then drop me a DM or paste your fix into the comments.
//---------------------------STRAT------------------------------
34 EMA Scalping strategy (ref. forextradingstrategies4u )
How you're supposed to trade it:
BUY:
1. Market is in an down trend as shown by the 34 EMA
2. Price breaks above a downwards trend line
3. Price breaks above the 34 EMA
4. Look for a very bullish candlestick or chart pattern
SELL:
1. Look for the 34 EMA to show we are in an uptrend
2. Price breaks below an upwards sloping trend line
3. Price breaks below 34 EMA
4. Look for a bearish candlestick or a chart pattern
//---------------------------CONC------------------------------
Q: Why does it fail?
A: I believe this strategy relies too much on subjective input (aka, trendlines).
Q: Why does it fail as an algo?
A: The 34 EMA is no more predictive than any other EMA, although it does a good job at filtering out noise.
Q: Should I try it out?
A: No, it's trash. This is the proof that it is trash.

Simple EMA where you get a CROSS mark between EMA 12 and EMA 26.
Each time a cross happens, a spot gets created.
If it's cyan, it goes up.
If it's magenta, it goes down.
I'm studying Trading at Blue Empire Academy, if you want to know more send me a PM.
Wave Analysis study the wave's behavior and tries to predict by using trendlines, elliot waves, fibonacci retracements, and EMAs basically.
In this Indicator, It's a confirmation when EMA 12 goes over to confirm the price may go up. and Vice versa.
