SMA 50 DerivativeThis approach uses calculus concepts:
First Derivative (slope): Rate of change of the SMA → ta.change(sma50)
Second Derivative (acceleration): Rate of change of the slope → ta.change(smaSlope)
1. First Derivative (smaSlope)
Measures: The instantaneous rate of change between the current bar and previous bar
Formula: sma50 - sma50
Interpretation:
> 0 = SMA is rising (uptrend)
< 0 = SMA is falling (downtrend)
= 0 = SMA is flat
2. Second Derivative (smaAcceleration)
Measures: How the slope itself is changing
Formula: smaSlope - smaSlope = (sma50 - sma50 ) - (sma50 - sma50 )
Interpretation:
> 0 = Slope is increasing (trend is accelerating)
< 0 = Slope is decreasing (trend is decelerating)
= 0 = Slope is constant
**For scalping, very short-term signals**
Easy [CHE] Easy — Minimalist Pine Script for detecting EMA direction changes to define fixed price zones for simple support and resistance visualization, ideal for manual trading workflows.
Summary
This indicator's programming is kept minimalist and super simple, with core logic in under 20 lines for easy comprehension and modification. It creates fixed price zones based on divergences between a base exponential moving average and its smoother counterpart, helping traders spot potential consolidation or reversal areas without dynamic adjustments. By locking the zone at the high and low of the signal bar, it avoids over-expansion in volatile conditions, offering a stable reference line colored by price position relative to the zone. This approach differs from expanding channels by prioritizing simplicity and persistence until a new qualifying signal, reducing visual clutter while highlighting directional bias through midpoint coloring.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traders often face noisy signals from moving averages that flip frequently in sideways markets or lag during breakouts, leading to premature entries or missed opportunities. This indicator addresses that by focusing on confirmed direction shifts between the base and smoothed averages, then anchoring a non-expanding zone to capture the initial price range of the shift. The result is a cleaner tool for marking equilibrium levels, assuming price respects these bounds in ranging or mildly trending conditions.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Reference baseline: Traditional moving average crossovers or simple channels that update every bar.
- Architecture differences:
- Zones are set only on new divergence signals and remain fixed until reset by a gap from the prior zone.
- No ongoing high-low expansion; relies on persistent variables to hold bounds across bars.
- Midpoint plotting with conditional coloring based on close position, plus a highlight for zone initiations.
- Practical effect: Charts show persistent horizontal references instead of drifting lines, making it easier to gauge if price is rejecting or embracing the zone—useful for avoiding false breaks in low-volatility setups.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes a base exponential moving average of closing prices over a user-defined length, then applies a second exponential moving average to smooth that base. It checks if both the base and smoothed values are increasing or decreasing compared to their prior values, indicating aligned direction. A signal triggers when this alignment breaks, marking a potential shift.
On a new signal, if the current bar's high and low fall outside any existing zone (or none exists), the zone bounds update to those extremes and persist via dedicated variables. The midpoint of these bounds becomes the primary plot line, colored green if below the close (bullish lean), red if above (bearish lean), or gray otherwise. A secondary thick line highlights the midpoint briefly when a zone first sets, aiding visual confirmation. No higher timeframe data or external fetches are used, so updates occur on each bar close without lookahead.
Parameter Guide
EMA Length — Sets the period for the base moving average; longer values smooth more, reducing signal frequency but increasing lag. Default: 50. Trade-offs/Tips: Shorter for faster response in intraday charts (risks noise); longer for daily trends (may miss early shifts).
Smoother Length — Defines the period for the secondary smoothing on the base average; higher values dampen minor wiggles for stabler direction checks. Default: 3. Trade-offs/Tips: Keep low (2–5) for sensitivity; increase to 7+ if zones trigger too often in choppy markets, at cost of delayed signals.
Reading & Interpretation
The main circle plot at the zone midpoint serves as a dynamic equilibrium line: green suggests price is above the zone (potential strength), red indicates below (potential weakness), and gray shows containment within bounds (neutral consolidation). A sudden thick foreground line at the midpoint flags a fresh zone start, prompting review of the prior bar's context. Absence of a plot means no active zone, implying reliance on price action alone until the next signal.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
- Trend following: Enter long on green midpoint after a higher low touches the zone lower bound, confirmed by structure like higher highs; filter shorts similarly on red with lower highs.
- Exits/Stops: Use the opposite zone bound as a conservative stop (e.g., below lower for longs); trail aggressively to midpoint on strong moves, tightening near gray neutrality.
- Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults work across forex and stocks on 1H–Daily; for crypto volatility, shorten EMA Length to 20–30. Pair with volume oscillators for confirmation, avoiding isolated use.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
- Repaint/confirmation: Plots update on bar close using historical closes, so confirmed signals hold; live bars may shift until close but without future references.
- security()/HTF: Not used, eliminating related repaint risks.
- Resources: Minimal overhead—no loops, arrays, or bar limits exceeded; suitable for real-time on any timeframe.
- Known limits: Fixed zones may lag in strong trends (price drifts away without reset); signals skip if no gap from prior zone, potentially missing clustered shifts. Assumes standard OHLC data; untested on non-equity assets.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with EMA Length at 50 and Smoother Length at 3 for balanced daily charts. If signals fire too frequently (e.g., in ranges), extend EMA Length to 100 for fewer but stabler zones. For sluggish response in trends, drop Smoother Length to 2 and EMA Length to 30, monitoring for added noise. In high-vol setups, widen both to 75/5 to filter extremes, trading speed for reliability.

EMA 50/200 Pullback + RSI Filter (Single Position)EMA 50/200 Pullback + RSI Filter (Single Position)
Luminous Glide Momentum Indicator [wjdtks255]This indicator, named "Customized SuperSmoother MA Oscillator," applies a smoothing filter to price data using a SuperSmoother technique to reduce noise and enhance signal clarity. It calculates two moving averages on the smoothed data—a fast and a slow—whose difference forms the oscillator line. A signal line is derived by smoothing the oscillator with another moving average. The histogram visualizes the divergence between the oscillator and signal lines, indicating momentum strength and direction.
How it works
SuperSmoother Filter: Reduces price noise to provide smoother and more reliable signals than raw data.
Fast and Slow Moving Averages: The fast MA reacts quicker to price changes, while the slow MA indicates longer trends.
Oscillator: The difference between the fast and slow MAs signals shifts in momentum.
Signal Line: A smoothed version of the oscillator used to generate crossovers.
Histogram: Displays the distance between the oscillator and signal line, with color changes indicating bullish or bearish momentum.
Trading Strategy
Buy Signal: When the oscillator crosses above the signal line, it suggests increasing upward momentum, signaling a potential buy opportunity.
Sell Signal: When the oscillator crosses below the signal line, it suggests increasing downward momentum, signaling a potential sell opportunity.
Histogram Size and Color: Larger green bars indicate stronger bullish momentum; larger red bars indicate stronger bearish momentum.
Usage Tips
Combine this oscillator with other indicators or price action analysis to confirm trading signals.
Adjust smoothing and moving average lengths according to your trading timeframe and the asset volatility.
Use proper risk management to filter out potential false signals common in oscillators.

Multi EMA + Indicators + Mini-Dashboard + Reversals v6📘 Multi EMA + Indicators + Mini-Dashboard + Reversals v6
🧩 Overview
This indicator is a multi-EMA setup that combines trend, momentum, and reversal analysis in a single visual framework.
It integrates four exponential moving averages (EMAs), key oscillators (RSI, MACD, Stochastic, CCI), volatility filtering (ATR), and a dynamic mini-dashboard that summarizes all signals in real time.
Its purpose is to help traders visually confirm trend alignment, filter valid entries, and identify possible trend continuation or reversal points.
It can display buy/sell arrows, detect reversal candles, and issue alerts when trading conditions are met.
⚙️ Core Components
1. Moving Averages (EMA Setup)
EMA1 (fast) and EMA2 (medium) define the short-term trend and trigger bias.
When the price is above both EMAs → bullish bias.
When below → bearish bias.
EMA3 and EMA4 act as trend filters. Their slopes (up or down) confirm overall momentum and help validate signals.
Each EMA has customizable lengths, sources, and colors for up/down trends.
This “EMA stack” is the foundation of the setup — a structured trend-following framework that adapts to market speed and volatility.
2. Momentum and Confirmation Filters
Each indicator can be individually enabled or disabled for flexibility.
RSI: confirms direction (above/below 50).
MACD: detects momentum crossover (MACD > Signal for bullish confirmation).
Stochastic: identifies trend continuation (K > D for longs, K < D for shorts).
CCI: adds trend bias above/below a threshold.
ATR Filter: filters out small, low-volatility candles to reduce noise.
You can activate only the filters that fit your trading plan — for instance, trend traders often use RSI and MACD, while scalpers may rely on Stochastic and ATR.
3. Reversal Detection
The indicator includes an optional Reversal Section that independently detects potential turning points.
It combines multiple configurable criteria:
Candlestick patterns (Bullish Hammer, Shooting Star).
Large Candle filter — detects unusually large bars (relative to close).
Price-to-EMA distance — identifies overextended moves that might revert.
RSI Divergence — detects potential momentum shifts.
RSI Overbought/Oversold zones (70/30 by default).
Doji Candles — sign of indecision.
A bullish or bearish reversal signal appears when enough selected criteria are met.
All sub-modules can be toggled on/off individually, giving you full control over sensitivity.
4. Signal Logic
Buy and sell signals are triggered when EMA alignment and the chosen confirmations agree:
Buy Signal
→ Price above EMA1 & EMA2
→ Confirmations (RSI/MACD/Stoch/CCI/ATR) pass
→ Trend filters (EMA3/EMA4) point upward
Sell Signal
→ Price below EMA1 & EMA2
→ Confirmations align bearishly
→ Trend filters (EMA3/EMA4) slope downward
Reversal signals can appear independently, even against the current EMA trend, depending on your settings.
5. Visual Dashboard
A mini-dashboard appears near the chart showing:
Current trade bias (LONG / SHORT / NEUTRAL)
EMA3 and EMA4 trend directions (↑ / ↓)
Quick visual bars (🟩 / 🟥) for each filter: RSI, MACD, Stoch, ATR, CCI, EMA filters
Reversal criteria status (Doji, RSI divergence, candle size, etc.)
This panel gives you a compact overview of all indicator states at a glance.
The color of the panel changes dynamically — green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral.
6. Alerts
Built-in alerts allow automation or notifications:
Buy Alert
Sell Alert
Reversal Buy
Reversal Sell
You can connect these alerts to TradingView notifications or external bots for semi-automated execution.
💡 How to Use
✅ Trend-Following Setup
Focus on trades in the direction of EMA1 & EMA2.
Confirm with EMA3 & EMA4 trending in the same direction.
Use RSI/MACD/Stoch filters to ensure momentum supports the trade.
Avoid entries when ATR filter indicates low volatility.
🔄 Reversal Setup
Enable the Reversal section for potential tops/bottoms.
Look for reversal buy signals near support zones or after strong downtrends.
Use RSI divergence or Doji + Hammer signals as confirmation.
Combine with key chart areas (supply/demand or previous swing levels).
⚖️ Combination Approach
Trade continuation signals when all EMAs are aligned and filters are green.
Trade reversals only when at a key area (support/resistance) and confirmed by reversal conditions.
Always check higher-timeframe bias before entering a trade.
🧭 Practical Tips
Use different EMA sets for different timeframes:
9/21/50/100 for swing or trend trades.
5/13/34/89 for intraday scalping.
Turn off filters you don’t use to reduce lag.
Always validate signals with price structure, not just indicator alignment.
Practice in replay mode before live trading.
🗺️ Key Chart Confluence (Highly Recommended)
Although the indicator provides structured signals, its best use is in confluence with:
Support and resistance levels
Supply/demand zones
Trendlines and channels
Liquidity pools
Volume clusters
Signals aligned with strong key areas on the chart tend to have greater reliability than isolated indicator triggers.
I use EMA 1 - 20 Open ; EMA 2 - 20 Close ; EMA 3 - 50 ; EMA 4 - 200 or 100 , but that's me...
⚠️ Important Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical tool, not a guarantee of results.
Trading involves risk, and no signal is ever 100% accurate.
Every trader should develop a personal strategy, use proper risk management, and adapt settings to their instrument and timeframe.
Always combine indicator signals with key chart areas, higher-timeframe context, and your own analysis before taking a trade.
VWAP – Pivot Pairs (SECONDS‑BASED RESET)VWAP – Pivot Pairs (SECONDS-BASED RESET) is a Pine Script v6 indicator for TradingView that combines pivot-based breakout detection with resettable VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) calculations over user-defined rolling time periods in seconds.It identifies high and low swing pivots via breakout logic, then calculates two VWAP lines per anchor:One using high/low as the price source,
One using close as the price source.
These form "pivot pairs" that reset automatically at the start of each custom-duration period (e.g., every 300 seconds), starting from a user-defined UTC time of day (default: 09:30 UTC).Visuals include:Colored VWAP lines (high pair: red, low pair: green),
Semi-transparent fill zones between each pair,
Optional toggles to show/hide high or low pairs.
Use CasesUse Case
Description
Intraday Scalping (1–15 min charts)
Use 60–300 second resets to capture micro-trends within larger sessions. VWAP pairs act as dynamic support/resistance after breakouts.
High-Frequency / Algo Validation
Backtest strategies on tick/second charts where traditional session resets fail. Align resets with exchange micro-sessions or volatility windows.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB) Enhancement
Set period_seconds = 1800 (30 min) and start time = 09:30 UTC → VWAP builds only on first 30 mins post-open, then floats. Pairs show deviation from ORB mean.
Range-Bound Market Analysis
In choppy markets, VWAP pairs converge near fair value. Divergence signals potential breakout. Fill color intensity shows conviction.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Overlay on 1-second chart with 300s reset → matches 5-minute structure. Use close-based VWAP for entries, high/low-based for stops.

In short: This is a precision VWAP tool for time-boxed, pivot-driven mean reversion and breakout trading, ideal for scalpers, day traders, and algo developers needing sub-session granularity.
Average Candle Body (24h Rolling)This indicator calculates the average size of candle bodies (|Close – Open|) over the last 24 hours, regardless of your current chart timeframe.
Unlike ATR or ADR, which measure total range (High – Low) or day-to-day volatility, this tool focuses purely on the real body size of candles — a more accurate representation of in-session price momentum and liquidity activity.
🔍 How it works
The script automatically determines how many candles represent the last 24 hours based on your current timeframe (e.g. 288 candles on a 5-minute chart).
It then computes a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the absolute candle body size across that rolling 24-hour window.
Optionally, the script also plots the current candle body size as a grey histogram for quick comparison.
⚙️ Use cases
Gauge intraday volatility based on average body movement rather than wicks.
Build dynamic stop-loss models (e.g., Stop = 1.2 × AverageBodySize).
Detect periods of compression or expansion in price action.
Filter or confirm setups (e.g., only trade when candle bodies exceed their 24 h average).
📈 Displayed elements
Orange line: average candle body size (rolling 24 hours)
Grey histogram: current candle body size for each bar
Works automatically across all timeframes and assets (crypto, forex, indices, etc.)
💡 Pro tip
This indicator pairs exceptionally well with:
EMA-based momentum systems (e.g. EMA 8/21 crosses)
Session-based reversal or sweep strategies (Asia-London transitions)
VWAP or liquidity-based frameworks where candle compression matters
📘 How to Interpret
When the orange line (24h average candle body) is rising, it indicates that average body sizes are expanding — signaling increasing intraday momentum and participation. This often aligns with periods of higher volatility, stronger trends, or major session opens (London/New York).
When the orange line is falling, it shows contracting body sizes, meaning the market is entering consolidation, reduced volatility, or indecision. Such periods often precede major breakouts or reversals.
Use this reading to:
Avoid false breakouts during low-body periods.

Triple Confirmation System: EMA crossover + RSI filter + ADX strength (optional)
Automated Risk Management: 2% stop loss with wick-touch detection
Position Auto-Reversal: Opposite signals automatically close and reverse positions
Webhook Ready: Six distinct alert messages for automation (Entry Buy/Sell, Close Long/Short, SL Hit Long/Short)
Performance Metrics
NIFTY Futures (15min): 50%+ win rate with ADX filter OFF
Crypto Markets: Requires extensive backtesting before live deployment
Optimal Timeframes: 15-minute to 1-hour charts (patience required for higher timeframes)
Strategy Logic
Entry Signals:
LONG: EMA 9 crosses above EMA 21 + RSI > 55 + ADX > 20 (if enabled)
SHORT: EMA 9 crosses below EMA 21 + RSI < 45 + ADX > 20 (if enabled)
Exit Signals:
Opposite EMA crossover (auto-closes current position)
Stop loss hit at 2% from entry price (tracks candle wicks)
Technical Indicators:
Fast EMA: 9-period (short-term trend)
Slow EMA: 21-period (primary trend)
RSI: 14-period with 55/45 thresholds (momentum confirmation)
ADX: 14-period with 20 threshold (trend strength filter - optional)
Market-Specific Settings
Traditional Markets (NIFTY, Bank NIFTY, S&P Futures, Options)
Recommended Settings:
ADX Filter: Turn OFF (less choppy, cleaner trends)
Timeframe: 15-minute chart
Win Rate: 50%+ on NIFTY Futures
Why No ADX: Traditional markets have more institutional participation and smoother price action, making ADX unnecessary
Cryptocurrency Markets (BTC, ETH, Altcoins)
Recommended Settings:
ADX Filter: Turn ON (ADX > 20)
Timeframe: 15-minute to 1-hour
Extensive backtesting required before live trading
Why ADX: Crypto markets are highly volatile and prone to false breakouts; ADX filters low-quality chop
Best Practices
✅ Backtest thoroughly on your specific instrument and timeframe
✅ Use larger timeframes (1H, 4H) for higher quality signals and better risk/reward
✅ Adjust RSI thresholds based on market volatility (try 52/48 for more signals, 60/40 for fewer but stronger)
✅ Monitor ADX effectiveness - disable for traditional markets, enable for crypto
✅ Proper position sizing - adjust default_qty_value based on your capital and instrument price
✅ Paper trade first - test for 2-4 weeks before risking real capital
Risk Management
Fixed 2% stop loss per trade (adjustable)
Stop loss tracks candle wicks for accurate execution
Positions auto-reverse on opposite signals (no manual intervention needed)
0.075% commission built into backtest (adjust for your broker)
Customization Options
All parameters are adjustable via inputs:
EMA periods (default: 9/21)
RSI length and thresholds (default: 14-period, 55/45 levels)
ADX length and threshold (default: 14-period, 20 threshold)
Stop loss percentage (default: 2%)
Webhook Automation
This strategy includes six distinct alert messages for automated trading:
"Entry Buy" - Long position opened
"Entry Sell" - Short position opened
"Close Long" - Long position closed on opposite crossover
"Close Short" - Short position closed on opposite crossover
"SL Hit Long" - Long stop loss triggered
"SL Hit Short" - Short stop loss triggered
Compatible with Delta Exchange, Binance Futures, 3Commas, Alertatron, and other webhook platforms.
Important Notes
⚠️ Crypto markets require extensive backtesting - volatility patterns differ significantly from traditional markets
⚠️ Higher timeframes = better results - 15min works but 1H/4H provide cleaner signals
⚠️ ADX toggle is critical - OFF for traditional markets, ON for crypto
⚠️ Not financial advice - always conduct your own research and use proper risk management
⚠️ Past performance ≠ future results - backtest results may not reflect live trading conditions
Disclaimer
This strategy is for educational and informational purposes only. Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss. Always backtest thoroughly, start with paper trading, and never risk more than you can afford to lose. The author assumes no responsibility for any trading losses incurred using this strategy.

Robust Scaled Dema | OquantOverview
The Robust Scaled DEMA indicator is a tool designed for traders seeking to identify potential trend directions in financial markets. It combines the smoothing capabilities of a Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) with a robust scaling mechanism to normalize the data, making it more resilient to outliers and extreme price movements. This scaling helps in generating long and short signals based on predefined thresholds, visualized through color-coded plots and bars. The indicator aims to provide a balanced view of market momentum, reducing the impact of noise while highlighting significant shifts in price behavior.
Key Factors/Components
DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average): Serves as the core smoothing component, reducing lag compared to simple averages by emphasizing recent price action more effectively.
Robust Scaling Mechanism: Utilizes statistical measures like median and interquartile range to normalize the DEMA values, ensuring the indicator is less sensitive to extreme values or price spikes.
Thresholds: User-defined upper and lower levels that trigger long or short signals when the scaled DEMA crosses them.
Visual Elements: Includes plotted lines for the scaled DEMA and thresholds, plus color-coded candlestick bars for intuitive interpretation.
Alerts: Built-in conditions for notifying users of potential entry points for long or short positions.
How It Works
The indicator starts by applying a DEMA to the chosen price source to create a smoothed representation of the market's direction. This smoothed value is then scaled using a robust statistical approach that accounts for the distribution of recent DEMA values, centering it around a median and adjusting for variability to minimize the influence of outliers. The resulting scaled metric is compared against user-set upper and lower thresholds: crossing above the upper suggests a bullish momentum (long signal), while dipping below the lower indicates bearish conditions (short signal). A state variable tracks these conditions to color the chart accordingly, helping traders visualize regime changes. Optional alerts fire on transitions.
For Who Is Best/Recommended Use Cases
This indicator is ideal for traders who employ trend-following or momentum-based strategies and need tools that perform well in non-normal market conditions, such as during high volatility or in assets prone to spikes. Use cases include identifying entry/exit points in trending environments, confirming breakouts, or integrating into multi-indicator systems for added confirmation. Quantitative traders or those backtesting strategies will appreciate its customizable parameters for optimization.
Settings and Default Settings
Source: The price data input for calculations, such as close, open, high, or low. Default: close.
DEMA Length: Controls the period for the DEMA smoothing; shorter values increase responsiveness but may add noise, longer ones provide more lag but smoother signals. Default: 25.
Robust Scaling Length: Defines the lookback period for the scaling statistics; affects how adaptive the normalization is to recent data distributions. Default: 40.
Upper Threshold: The level above which a long signal is triggered; higher values make signals rarer but potentially more reliable. Default: 0.5.
Lower Threshold: The level below which a short signal is triggered; lower values allow for more aggressive bearish detection. Default: 0.
Conclusion
The Robust Scaled DEMA offers an outlier-resistant alternative to traditional moving average indicators, empowering traders to navigate volatile markets. By blending exponential smoothing with statistical robustness, it provides actionable insights into trend shifts while minimizing false positives from extreme events..

Dual EMA Status Table (15m & 30m)It checks whether the 9 EMA is above or below the 21 EMA on:
the 15-minute chart, and
the 30-minute chart,
and then displays their alignment in a table:
Timeframe 9 vs 21 Status
15 min 9 > 21 Bullish
30 min 9 > 21 Bullish
CONFIRM ✅ Bullish
✅ “Bullish Confirm” → 9 EMA > 21 EMA on both → uptrend bias
❌ “Bearish Confirm” → 9 EMA < 21 EMA on both → downtrend bias
⚠️ “Mixed” → 15 m and 30 m disagree → stay neutral or wait
💡 How to Use It as a Trading Signal
You can treat it as a buy/sell framework with confirmation rules:
🔹 Buy (Long) bias
Table shows ✅ Bullish confirmation
9 EMA > 21 EMA on both timeframes
Ideally, price pulls back near one of the EMAs and then bounces
You could enter after a bullish candle close above the EMAs
📍 Example entry rule:
Enter long when “✅ Bullish” appears and price closes above both EMAs on the 15 min chart.
Stop-loss below the 21 EMA or recent swing low.
🔹 Sell (Short) bias
Table shows ❌ Bearish confirmation
9 EMA < 21 EMA on both timeframes
Price retraces upward and rejects near EMAs
📍 Example entry rule:
Enter short when “❌ Bearish” appears and price closes below both EMAs on the 15 min chart.
Stop-loss above 21 EMA or recent swing high.
HTF MACD Dual Zero Cross + First EMA PullbackThis script aims to get the trader on the right side of the momentum and get better entries by only alerting when price pulls back to the trader's specified EMA.
This script isnt meant to catch tops or bottoms but to trade with the momentum once it starts.
This script will alert whe nthe MACD and signal line both cross the zero line, after that the script waits for price to make a pullback and then alet either a sell or buy. Ive found this works best when you trade with the trend on a higher timeframe.
You can use whatever MACD settings you prefer and really customize this to the asset youre trading.
You can also change whether you get an alert based on a wick touch of the EMA or a candle close.

Daily MA — Higher-Timeframe Daily Moving Average OverlayThis indicator plots a clean, higher-timeframe daily moving average directly on any chart, so you can always see where price sits relative to the daily trend — even while trading on lower timeframes (1m, 5m, etc.).
It’s designed to be:
Simple – a single, configurable daily MA line
Consistent – always anchored to the 1D timeframe
Flexible – choose EMA or SMA and customize line width/color
⸻
What This Indicator Does
Pulls the 1-Day (1D) moving average of the current symbol, regardless of your chart timeframe.
Lets you choose between EMA (Exponential Moving Average) or SMA (Simple Moving Average).
Plots that daily MA as a smooth overlay on your current chart.
Keeps the line visually clean and continuous, making it easy to see daily trend and dynamic support/resistance.
This is not a signals/strategy script. It doesn’t generate buy/sell arrows or backtest logic. It’s a context tool for visualizing the daily trend while you execute your own strategy.
⸻
Why a Daily MA Overlay Is Useful
Traders commonly use a daily moving average to:
Anchor intraday trades to the higher-timeframe trend
Longs when price is holding above the Daily MA
Shorts or caution when price is rejecting from the Daily MA
Identify dynamic support/resistance
Price often reacts around well-watched daily MAs (e.g., 50, 100, 200)
Filter setups
Only take long setups when price is above the daily trend line
Avoid counter-trend trades when price is extended far from the Daily MA
Because this script forces the MA to always be computed on 1D, you don’t have to switch back and forth between intraday and daily charts to keep track of the bigger picture.
⸻
Inputs & Settings
MA Length
Default: 200
Any positive integer (min 1)
Common examples: 50, 100, 200 for trend structure
MA Type

How to Use It in Your Workflow
Intraday traders (scalpers/day-traders):
Apply the indicator to your 1m/5m/15m charts.
Use the Daily MA as a trend filter :
Only look for long scalps when price is above the Daily MA.
Be more cautious with longs or consider shorts when price is below it.
Swing traders :
Use it on 1H/4H charts to see where price sits relative to a longer-term daily trend.
Watch for:
Pullbacks to the Daily MA in an uptrend as potential demand zones.
Rejections at the Daily MA in a downtrend as potential supply zones.
Risk management & context :
Avoid chasing extended moves far from the Daily MA.
Mark confluence with other tools (support/resistance, volume profile, etc.) around the Daily MA.
⸻
Notes & Limitations
The moving average itself is calculated from daily candles , then displayed on your current timeframe.

QQQ TimingThis is a trend-following position trading strategy designed for the QQQ and the leveraged ETF QLD (ProShares Ultra QQQ). The primary goal is to capture multi-month holds for maximal profit.
Key Instruments & Performance
The strategy performs best with QLD, which yields far superior results compared to QQQ.
TQQQ (triple-leveraged) results in higher drawdowns and is not the optimal choice.
Important: The system is not intended for use with other indexes, individual stocks, or investments (like crypto or gold), as performance can vary widely.
Buy Signals
The strategy's signals are rooted in the S&P 500 Index (SPX), as testing showed it provides more reliable triggers than using QQQ itself.
Primary Buy Signal (Credit to IBD/Mike Webster): The SPX triggers a buy when its low closes above the 21-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for three consecutive days.
Refinement with Downtrend Lines: During corrective or bear periods, results and drawdowns can be significantly improved by incorporating downtrend lines. These lines connect lower highs. The strategy waits for the price to close above a drawn downtrend line before executing a buy. This refinement can modify the primary signal, either by allowing for an earlier entry or, in some cases, completely nullifying a false signal until the trend change proves itself.
Risk Management & Exit Strategy
Initial Buy Risk: A 3.7% stop loss is applied immediately upon the initial entry.
Initial Exit Rule: An exit is required if the QQQ's low drops below the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA).
Note: The 3.7% stop often provides protection when the initial buy occurs below the 50-day SMA. However, if QQQ is already trading above its 50-day SMA at the time of the SPX signal (indicating relative strength), historically, it has been better to use the 50-day SMA rule to give the position more room to run.
Trend Exit (Profit-Taking): To stay in a strong trend for the optimal amount of time, the long position is exited when a moving average crossover to the downside is triggered, based around the 107-day Simple Moving Average (SMA).
RastaRasta — Educational Strategy (Pine v5)
Momentum · Smoothing · Trend Study
Overview
The Rasta Strategy is a visual and educational framework designed to help traders study momentum transitions using the interaction between a fast-reacting EMA line and a slower smoothed reference line.
It is not a signal generator or profit system; it’s a learning tool for understanding how smoothing, crossovers, and filters interact under different market conditions.
The script displays:
A primary EMA line (the fast reactive wave).
A Smoothed line (using your chosen smoothing method).
Optional fog zones between them for quick visual context.
Optional DNA rungs connecting both lines to illustrate volatility compression and expansion.
Optional EMA 8 / EMA 21 trend filter to observe higher-time-frame alignment.
Core Idea
The Rasta model focuses on wave interaction. When the fast EMA crosses above the smoothed line, it reflects a shift in short-term momentum relative to background trend pressure. Cross-unders suggest weakening or reversal.
Rather than treating this as a trading “signal,” use it to observe structure, study trend alignment, and test how smoothing type affects reaction speed.
Smoothing Types Explained
The script lets you experiment with multiple smoothing techniques:
Type Description Use Case
SMA (Simple Moving Average) Arithmetic mean of the last n values. Smooth and steady, but slower. Trend-following studies; filters noise on higher time frames.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average) Weights recent data more. Responds faster to new price action. Momentum or reactive strategies; quick shifts and reversals.
RMA (Relative Moving Average) Used internally by RSI; smooths exponentially but slower than EMA. Momentum confirmation; balanced response.
WMA (Weighted Moving Average) Linear weights emphasizing the most recent data strongly. Intraday scalping; crisp but potentially noisy.
None Disables smoothing; uses the EMA line alone. Raw comparison baseline.
Each smoothing method changes how early or late the strategy reacts:
Faster smoothing (EMA/WMA) = more responsive, good for scalping.
Slower smoothing (SMA/RMA) = more stable, good for trend following.
Modes of Study
🔹 Scalper Mode
Use short EMA lengths (e.g., 3–5) and fast smoothing (EMA or WMA).
Focus on 1 min – 15 min charts.
Watch how quick crossovers appear near local tops/bottoms.
Fog and rung compression reveal volatility contraction before bursts.
Goal: study short-term rhythm and liquidity pulses.
🔹 Momentum Mode
Use moderate EMA (5–9) and RMA smoothing.
Ideal for 1 H–4 H charts.
Observe how the fog color aligns with trend shifts.
EMA 8 / 21 filter can act as macro bias; “Enter” labels will appear only in its direction when enabled.
Goal: study sustained motion between pullbacks and acceleration waves.
🔹 Trend-Follower Mode
Use longer EMA (13–21) with SMA smoothing.
Great for daily/weekly charts.
Focus on periods where fog stays unbroken for long stretches — these illustrate clear trend dominance.
Watch rung spacing: tight clusters often precede consolidations; wide rungs signal expanding volatility.
Goal: visualize slow-motion trend transitions and filter whipsaw conditions.
Components
EMA Line (Red): Fast-reacting short-term direction.
Smoothed Line (Yellow): Reference trend baseline.
Fog Zone: Green when EMA > Smoothed (up-momentum), red when below.
DNA Rungs: Thin connectors showing volatility structure.
EMA 8 / 21 Filter (optional):
When enabled, the strategy will only allow Enter events if EMA 8 > EMA 21.
Use this to study higher-trend gating effects.
Educational Applications
Momentum Visualization: Observe how the fast EMA “breathes” around the smoothed baseline.
Trend Transitions: Compare different smoothing types to see how early or late reversals are detected.
Noise Filtering: Experiment with fog opacity and smoothing lengths to understand trade-off between responsiveness and stability.
Risk Concept Simulation: Includes a simple fixed stop-loss parameter (default 13%) for educational demonstrations of position management in the Strategy Tester.
How to Use
Add to Chart → “Strategy.”
Works on any timeframe and instrument.
Adjust Parameters:
Length: base EMA speed.
Smoothing Type: choose SMA, EMA, RMA, or WMA.
Smoothing Length: controls delay and smoothness.
EMA 8 / 21 Filter: toggles trend gating.
Fog & Rungs: visual study options only.
Study Behavior:
Use Strategy Tester → List of Trades for entry/exit context.
Observe how different smoothing types affect early vs. late “Enter” points.
Compare trend periods vs. ranging periods to evaluate efficiency.
Combine with External Tools:
Overlay RSI, MACD, or Volume for deeper correlation analysis.
Use replay mode to visualize crossovers in live sequence.
Interpreting the Labels
Enter: Marks where fast EMA crosses above the smoothed line (or when filter flips positive).
Exit: Marks where fast EMA crosses back below.
These are purely analytical markers — they do not represent trade advice.
Educational Value
The Rasta framework helps learners explore:
Reaction time differences between moving-average algorithms.
Impact of smoothing on signal clarity.
Interaction of local and global trends.
Visualization of volatility contraction (tight DNA rungs) and expansion (wide fog zones).
It’s a sandbox for studying price structure, not a promise of profit.
Disclaimer
This script is provided for educational and research purposes only.
It does not constitute financial advice, trading signals, or performance guarantees. Past market behavior does not predict future outcomes.
Users are encouraged to experiment responsibly, record observations, and develop their own understanding of price behavior.
