TEMA Ribbon 9/13/15/21 – Smooth trend shifts, less lag, clearer

“TEMA Ribbon 9/13/15/21 – Smooth trend shifts, less lag, clearer bias.”


Plots four Triple Exponential Moving Averages (9, 13, 15, 21) with shaded zones for quick trend visualization. Helps identify short- vs. medium-term momentum shifts with reduced lag compared to standard EMAs.

Recommended Usage:
Best applied on 5M–1H intraday charts for momentum and trend confirmation.

Use the 9 & 13 TEMA for short-term momentum shifts.

Use the 15 & 21 TEMA for medium-term bias.

Look for crossovers and alignment (all fast TEMAs above/below slow ones) to confirm bullish or bearish conditions.

Shaded zones help visualize when the short- and medium-term trends converge or diverge, signaling potential entry or exit points.

Combine the TEMA Ribbon with VWAP or session-based trading (e.g., London/New York Killzones) to filter signals.

Trade only in the direction of VWAP bias (price above VWAP → favor longs, below → favor shorts).

Within Killzones, use TEMA alignment (9/13 above 15/21 = bullish trend, or opposite for bearish) as confirmation before entries.

This reduces false signals and locks entries to periods of high liquidity and volatility, where TEMA shines.
