Malama's 3 Amigos

The "Malama's 3 Amigos" is an original script that combines several well-known technical indicators, including MACD, RSI, and wave trend analysis, to create a robust trading signal generator. The integration of these components allows for a more nuanced understanding of market dynamics:

MACD and RSI: These indicators provide insights into momentum and trend direction, helping to identify potential reversals or continuations.
Wave Trend Analysis: This component adds a layer of volatility assessment, allowing traders to gauge overbought and oversold conditions.
Volume Filtering: By incorporating volume analysis, the script ensures that signals are validated by market participation, reducing the likelihood of false signals.
This script stands out from public open-source alternatives by offering a unique combination of trend meters and wave trend analysis, tailored for traders seeking a comprehensive dashboard for market analysis.

Detailed Methodology ("How It Works")
Core Logic
Wave Trend Calculation: The script employs a wave trend calculation that utilizes exponential moving averages (EMAs) to assess price momentum. The wave trend indicator generates two lines, which are used to identify potential bullish and bearish conditions based on crossovers and overbought/oversold levels.

Trend Meter Signals: The script features three customizable trend meters that can be set to various configurations (e.g., MACD crossovers, RSI conditions). Each trend meter evaluates market conditions and provides a bullish or bearish signal based on the selected method.

Signal Generation:

Long Entry Signal: A long signal is generated when all three trend meters indicate bullish conditions, the wave trend shows a bullish crossover, the RSI delta is above a specified threshold, and the price is above a defined moving average.
Short Entry Signal: Conversely, a short signal is triggered when all trend meters indicate bearish conditions, the wave trend shows a bearish crossover, the RSI delta is below a specified threshold, and the price is below a defined moving average.
Signal Strength Calculation: The script calculates the strength of the generated signals by summing the number of bullish or bearish conditions met. This provides traders with a clear indication of the reliability of the signal.

Backtesting and Probability Features
The script does not include built-in backtesting features; however, traders can manually backtest the signals generated by the indicator. It is recommended to consider realistic trading conditions, including commission, slippage, and risk management parameters, when evaluating the effectiveness of the signals.

Strategy Results and Risk Management
The "Malama's 3 Amigos" indicator does not inherently include backtesting capabilities, but traders are encouraged to apply the following assumptions for effective risk management:

Commission and Slippage: Traders should account for realistic trading costs when evaluating performance.
Account Sizing: It is advisable to limit risk to 5-10% of equity per trade.
Trade Frequency: A sufficient number of trades should be executed to validate the strategy's effectiveness.
Default Settings
The default settings are designed to provide a balanced approach to trading. Traders can customize parameters such as lookback periods for moving averages and volume filters to suit their trading style.

User Settings and Customization
The script includes several user-customizable inputs:

Trend Meter Selections: Traders can choose from various trend meter configurations to tailor the indicator to their preferences.
Volume Filter: Users can enable or disable volume filtering and set the lookback period for volume analysis.
RSI Delta Threshold: This parameter allows traders to define the sensitivity of the RSI delta condition for signal generation.
Moving Average Types and Lengths: Traders can select between Simple Moving Averages (SMA) and Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) and adjust their lengths.
These settings influence the behavior of the indicator and the signals generated, allowing for a personalized trading experience.

Visualizations and Chart Setup
The "Malama's 3 Amigos" indicator plots several key elements on the chart:

Wave Trend Lines: Two wave trend lines are displayed, with color coding to indicate bullish (green) and bearish (red) conditions.
Signal Markers: Buy (green triangle) and sell (red triangle) signals are plotted on the chart to indicate potential entry points.
Info Panel: An information panel can be displayed on the chart, providing real-time updates on the status of trend meters, wave trend conditions, and entry signals.
The visual elements are designed to be clear and concise, ensuring that traders can quickly interpret the information presented.
