Multi-Time Open LevelsThis indicator automatically plots three key horizontal open levels for your daily trading session, specifically optimized for the CET/CEST (Europe/Berlin) timezone. It is designed to be cleaner and more reliable than standard plotting indicators.
Key Features:
1. Daily Open (00:00 CET): Plotted in Blue.
2. Morning Open (10:00 CET/04:00 NYT): Plotted in Dark Orange.
3. Afternoon Open (14:00 CET/08:00 NYT): Plotted in Dark Blue.
No Diagonal Connections:
This script uses individual line objects. This ensures that levels stay horizontal and don't create diagonal lines between sessions.
Holiday & Early-Close Fix:
Uses a robust date-check logic. Even if the market closes early due to holidays and opens at irregular times, the "Daily Open" line will correctly trigger on the very first bar of the new calendar day.
Best used on: 1m, 5m, or 15m timeframes for maximum precision.
I hope it will help you in your trading setups.

TEMA_1h_1D_1W_1MTEMA_1h_1D_1W_1M (Multi-Timeframe Triple Exponential Moving Average) indicator on TradingView.
Title: TEMA Multi-Timeframe (1h/1D/1W/1M) - Low Lag Trend
Short Description:
Plots TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average) from 1h, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly timeframes onto your current chart for instant, low-lag trend context.
Detailed Description:
Overview
The TEMA_1h_1D_1W_1M indicator is a comprehensive, multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis tool designed to visualize the Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA) from higher timeframes (HTF) directly on your current trading chart. By using TEMA instead of a standard EMA, this indicator significantly reduces lag, allowing you to identify trend changes faster without sacrificing trend smoothing.
Key Features
Four Timeframe Integration: Plots TEMA lines for 1-Hour (1h), Daily (1D), Weekly (1W), and Monthly (1M) timeframes.
Multi-Timeframe Compatibility: Displays higher timeframe TEMA lines on lower timeframe charts (e.g., 5m, 15m) without "stair-stepping" artifacts.
Low Lag, High Smoothness: TEMA provides a more responsive trendline than traditional EMAs, aiding in earlier trend detection.
Customizable Lengths: Fully adjustable TEMA lengths for each timeframe (default usually 20, 50, or 200).
Visual Clarity: Each timeframe's TEMA can be colored and styled separately to identify trend alignment at a glance.
Trading Applications
Trend Alignment: Confirm the long-term trend (e.g., Monthly/Weekly TEMA) aligns with the short-term trend (e.g., Hourly TEMA) before entering trades.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: Higher timeframe TEMAs act as robust, dynamic support and resistance levels.
Breakout Confirmation: Use 1h TEMA to confirm trend reversals, while using 1D/1W TEMA to filter out false signals.
Indicator Inputs
TEMA Periods: Separately adjustable lengths for 1h, 1D, 1W, and 1M.
Styling: Toggle visibility, colors, and line thickness for each timeframe.
Disclaimer: Education purpose only. TEMA works best in trending markets and may produce false signals in choppy, ranging markets.

Recommended Volume Indicators
ESSENTIAL INDICATORS:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. STANDARD VOLUME
└─ Basic but essential
└─ Color-coded by candle direction
2. VOLUME MOVING AVERAGE (20-period)
└─ Shows average volume
└─ Helps identify "high" vs "low" volume
└─ CRITICAL: Only consider signals where Volume > 1.5x MA
└─ Ultra High = Volume > 2x MA
3. VOLUME WEIGHTED AVERAGE PRICE (VWAP)
└─ Intraday fair value
└─ Institutional reference point
OPTIONAL BUT USEFUL:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• On-Balance Volume (OBV) - Cumulative flow, good for divergences
• Accumulation/Distribution Line - Money flow direction
• Volume Profile - Price levels with most volume
• Money Flow Index - Volume-weighted RSI

PHASE A - Stopping the Downtrend:
PS = Preliminary Support (first buying appears)
SC = Selling Climax (panic selling absorbed - HIGH volume)
AR = Automatic Rally (dead cat bounce)
ST = Secondary Test (retest of SC lows - lower volume than SC)
PHASE B - Building the Cause:
→ Sideways accumulation
→ Volume generally decreasing
→ Multiple tests of support and resistance
→ "Backing up to the creek" patterns
PHASE C - The Test:
SPRING = False breakdown below support (bear trap)
→ Can be high or low volume
→ Key: Quick recovery above support
TEST = Low volume retest after spring (CRITICAL ENTRY POINT)
PHASE D - Markup Begins:
SOS = Sign of Strength (strong rally with high volume)
LPS = Last Point of Support (final low volume pullback)
→ This is the LAST safe entry before markup
PHASE E - Markup (Not shown):
→ Strong uptrend with increasing volume
→ Higher highs and higher lows

║ TOP 10 VSA MISTAKES ║
╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
║ ║
║ 1. ❌ Analyzing volume in ISOLATION ║
║ ✅ Always combine volume + price + location + context ║
║ ║
║ 2. ❌ Entering on HIGH volume pullback ║
║ ✅ Only enter on LOW volume pullback (Test) ║
║ ║
║ 3. ❌ Ignoring the CLOSE position of candle ║
║ ✅ Where it closes matters as much as volume ║
║ ║
║ 4. ❌ Trading VSA signals against higher TF trend ║
║ ✅ Always align with 4H/1H direction first ║
║ ║
║ 5. ❌ Chasing breakouts without volume confirmation ║
║ ✅ Wait for high volume OR don't enter ║
║ ║
║ 6. ❌ Entering during NEWS events ║
║ ✅ Volume is distorted during news - wait 30min ║
║ ║
║ 7. ❌ Misreading climax volume as continuation ║
║ ✅ Recognize climax = potential reversal ║
║ ║
║ 8. ❌ Not waiting for TEST confirmation ║
║ ✅ Wait for Spring/Upthrust to be TESTED (low volume) ║
║ ║
║ 9. ❌ Ignoring spread (candle range) ║
║ ✅ Wide spread + Low volume = FAKE MOVE warning ║
║ ║
║ 10. ❌ Not using relative volume ║
║ ✅ Compare to 20-period volume MA ║

Michael LipsiusTitle: Michael Multi-Timeframe Trend Dashboard (HTF Bias & LTF Execution)
Description:
Overview This indicator is a specialized Top-Down Analysis tool designed to assist traders in identifying the dominant market direction across multiple timeframes instantly. Built around the principles of Michael's Trading Strategy and institutional trend following, this dashboard eliminates the noise and provides a clear, color-coded directional bias (Prognosis) for both High Time Frame (HTF) structure and Low Time Frame (LTF) momentum.
Core Functionality The dashboard generates a real-time matrix displayed directly on the chart, analyzing price action relative to the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This specific metric is chosen to filter out minor fluctuations and reveal the true institutional flow of money.
1. High Time Frame (HTF) Prognosis – The "Compass" The indicator monitors the Daily (D1) and 4-Hour (H4) timeframes to establish the macro trend.
Bullish 🟢: Price is holding above the 50 EMA. This indicates that Smart Money is accumulating, and traders should focus primarily on Long setups.
Bearish 🔴: Price is trading below the 50 EMA. This suggests institutional distribution, meaning Short setups have a higher probability of success.
Purpose: The HTF modules act as your safety filter. By respecting the D1/H4 signals, you avoid trading against the major trend, significantly reducing the risk of being stopped out by macro flows.
2. Low Time Frame (LTF) Execution – The "Trigger" Simultaneously, the indicator analyzes the 1-Hour (H1) and 15-Minute (M15) timeframes.
These timeframes are crucial for timing entries and managing intraday volatility.
Conflict Warning: If the HTF is Bullish (Green) but the LTF is Bearish (Red), the market is likely in a pullback phase. This warns the trader to wait for the LTF to realign with the HTF before entering.
How to Use This Tool This dashboard is designed to be the first step in your trading routine:
Check Confluence: Look for a "Full Green" or "Full Red" board. When D1, H4, and H1 align, the probability of a successful trade increases exponentially.
Identify Pullbacks: If D1/H4 are Green, but M15 is Red, do not sell. Instead, treat this as a discount phase and wait for the M15 to flip back to Green for a high-precision entry.
Risk Management: Use the HTF bias to determine your risk exposure. Trade with full risk only when HTF and LTF are aligned.
Settings & Customization
Table Position: Fully adjustable (Top Right, Bottom Right, etc.) to fit your workspace.
EMA Period: Default is set to 50 (Standard Michael Strategy), but can be adjusted to fit other strategies.
Visuals: Clean, non-intrusive design with clear color coding for instant readability.
Disclaimer This tool is for informational purposes only and serves as a trend-confirmation aid. It should be used in conjunction with price action analysis, key levels, and proper risk management.
Fixing Volume Vizualization This simple script shows only the fixing candles (by default, 5 PM UTC) and attaches a label with the volume value on each of them. It’s useful if you want to analyze volume behavior specifically during the fixing – for example, to compare institutional activity across days, Wednesdays, or months.
You can:
• set a custom date range (from–to),
• change the fixing hour if needed,
• easily modify colors, labels, or volume thresholds.
It hides everything except the fixing candles – giving you a clean, focused view.
This is an update of less configurable script that gives you more flexibility through settings rather then pine editor.
BTC/XAU Correlation Crossing Delay PerformanceOVERVIEW
The BTC/XAU Correlation Crossing Delay Performance indicator is a specialized macro-tool designed to track the structural relationship between Bitcoin (Digital Gold) and Physical Gold. In institutional finance, these two assets represent the "Scarcity Complex." While they are often viewed as similar, they move in distinct Regime Shifts . This script identifies the exact moments of correlation decoupling—historically a lead indicator for major Bitcoin volatility and catch-up rallies.
THE IDEA: THE DECOUPLING SIGNAL
Traditional safe havens like Gold often act as a "Smoke Alarm" for geopolitical fear. Bitcoin, however, functions more as a "Fire Department" for global liquidity expansion. When the 52-week correlation between the two drops to zero or below, it signals a structural divergence.
Data from the past can suggest that such "Zero-Cross" events occur when Gold has front-run a price move, leaving Bitcoin at a relative valuation discount. This script marks these "Regime Shifts" (M-Markers) and measures the subsequent performance during a customizable Alpha Window .
CALCULATIONS & METHODOLOGY
The script utilizes the following logic to generate its data points:
• Purchasing Power Ratio: Calculated as Bitcoin Price divided by Gold Price. This shows exactly how many ounces of gold 1 BTC can buy.
• Pearson Correlation: A rolling 52-week calculation measuring the linear relationship between BTC and Gold prices.
• Zero-Cross Signal: A logic trigger/Marker that fires when the correlation value drops from a positive state to zero or a negative value.(M1 - M-n)
• Alpha Performance: A secondary calculation that captures the BTC price at the signal bar and compares it to the price exactly N-weeks later.
HOW TO READ THE CHART
• Orange Line: The current BTC/Gold ratio. A rising line means Bitcoin is gaining purchasing power against Gold.
• Orange Vertical Shapes (M-n): These mark the "M-Signals" where correlation broke (correlation ratio turned from positive to 0 or below on that bar). This is the "coiled spring" phase.
• Blue Vertical Shapes (Result): These appear after your defined Alpha Window (e.g., 12 weeks). They display the percentage change for both the Ratio and BTC/USD price since the M-n-signal.
• Blue Area (middle Lane): A visualization of the raw correlation value. When this cloud disappears toward the zero-level, a regime shift is in progress.
USER INPUTS
• Tickers: Choose your preferred Bitcoin and Gold sources (e.g., INDEX:BTCUSD or TVC:GOLD).
• Correlation Lookback: Default is 52 weeks, the institutional standard for measuring annual macro cycles.
• Alpha Window: Define the number of weeks (e.g., 12) you wish to track after a decoupling signal to verify historical catch-up trends.
TIMEFRAME
I view the data on the weekly timeframe. The script is optimized to run on this timeframe.
DISCLAIMER
This script is provided for educational and research purposes only. Correlation shifts are indicators of market structure changes and do not guarantee future price direction. Past performance of the BTC/Gold ratio is not an indicator of future results. Always use comprehensive risk management when trading high-volatility assets.

Fixing Volume Visualization (only fixing candles)This simple script shows only the fixing candles (by default, 5 PM UTC) and attaches a label with the volume value on each of them. It’s useful if you want to analyze volume behavior specifically during the fixing – for example, to compare institutional activity across days, Wednesdays, or months.
You can:
• set a custom date range (from–to),
• change the fixing hour if needed,
• easily modify colors, labels, or volume thresholds.
It hides everything except the fixing candles – giving you a clean, focused view.
Trend Strength [OmegaTools]Trend Strength is a quantitative regime oscillator designed to measure directional pressure and trend quality by blending price structure, return-dependence, realized intrabar expansion, and volume participation into a single normalized signal. The goal is not to predict, but to classify market state: when price action is in an expansionary/distributionary phase versus when it is in a contractionary/accumulation phase, so you can align execution and risk with the prevailing environment.
Core concept and methodology
The indicator aggregates four components computed on stable rolling windows and mapped into comparable ranges:
1. Price location / structural positioning (100-bar range)
A normalized price-location metric (position of close within the rolling high–low range) is transformed into a non-linear “strength” profile. This emphasizes meaningful departures from the middle of the range and penalizes indecision, producing a structure-aware contribution rather than a raw oscillator.
2. Return-dependence / directional persistence (100 bars)
A correlation term measures the relationship between the current return (close − close ) and the prior price level (close ). This helps detect environments where movement is more persistent or more mean-reverting, providing a statistical component that complements pure price-location signals.
3. Realized expansion / volatility proxy (50-bar accumulation, 300-bar normalization)
Intrabar expansion is approximated via the absolute candle body relative to the full range, aggregated over a short window to represent realized “effort” and then normalized over a longer window. This captures whether price is moving with meaningful body expansion versus compressing and stalling.
4. Volume participation (11-bar accumulation, 300-bar normalization)
A rolling volume sum is normalized over a longer window to quantify participation. This helps separate “thin” moves from moves supported by broader activity, without relying on exchange-specific volume assumptions.
The final oscillator is a weighted blend of these four normalized components, scaled for readability. The output is intentionally centered around two actionable regimes rather than a symmetric overbought/oversold framework.
How to read the oscillator
Trend Strength is designed around two main thresholds:
- Distribution / Expansion regime (oscillator above 0)
When the oscillator is above 0, the market is classified as being in a higher-pressure expansion regime. This often corresponds to directional continuation potential, stronger impulse behavior, and reduced suitability for tight mean-reversion tactics.
- Accumulation / Contraction regime (oscillator below −1.3)
When the oscillator is below −1.3, the market is classified as being in a contraction/accumulation regime. This frequently corresponds to compression, rotation, and lower directional efficiency, where breakouts may be more fragile and mean-reversion tactics may be more appropriate (depending on instrument and session conditions).
Values between 0 and −1.3 are treated as transitional/neutral, where the market is not clearly committing to either regime.
Continuous Mode vs Standard Mode
Trend Strength includes an optional Continuous Mode to improve interpretability during regime transitions:
- Standard Mode colors only when the oscillator is firmly in one of the two regimes (above 0 or below −1.3). Neutral zones remain uncolored, keeping the display conservative.
- Continuous Mode adds persistence logic: once a regime is confirmed, intermediate values are rendered with a lighter shade of the last confirmed regime until the opposite regime is confirmed. This reduces visual noise, helps maintain a consistent directional bias framework, and is particularly useful for intraday execution and session trend management.
Visual design and bar coloring
The oscillator line is color-coded:
- Purple: distribution / expansion regime
- Orange: accumulation / contraction regime
Neutral/transitional values are displayed in grey (or lightly shaded in Continuous Mode based on last confirmed regime).
Optionally, the indicator can color price bars using the same regime logic, allowing rapid at-a-glance regime recognition directly on the chart.
Practical use cases
- Regime filter for strategies: enable trend-following logic only in expansion regimes; enable mean-reversion or range logic in contraction regimes.
- Risk adjustment: increase/decrease position sizing or tighten/widen stops based on regime classification.
- Confirmation layer: combine with structure tools (market structure, VWAP, key levels) to validate whether conditions support continuation or imply compression.
- Session management: identify when a session is behaving as a trend day versus a rotational day, improving trade selection and reducing overtrading.
Notes
Trend Strength is a regime classifier and contextual tool. It does not guarantee future direction and should be integrated into a complete decision process (risk management, market structure, session context, and instrument-specific behavior).

Minervini TT + IBD RS + ENTRY What this script does (overall)
This indicator implements a Minervini-style stock selection and entry system with mechanical risk control:
Trend Template (TT)
Uses 50 / 150 / 200 SMA alignment
Requires price to be above key moving averages
Ensures the stock is sufficiently above its 52-week low and not too far from its 52-week high
Relative Strength (IBD-style proxy vs TOPIX)
Compares the stock’s performance against TOPIX
Requires RS to be rising and making new relative highs
Detects RS breakdowns as “no-add / exit watch” warnings
ENTRY conditions (Pivot + Volume + VCP)
Breakout above a pivot high
Volume expansion on breakout
Volatility contraction using ATR% (VCP-like behavior)
Visual signals
BUY label: quality conditions pass
ENTRY label: valid breakout entry
RS BREAK label: relative strength deterioration
What was newly added / updated (important)
🔴 Mechanical stop-loss logic (NEW)
After each ENTRY signal, the script now:
Draws two horizontal stop-loss lines
SL -5% from the ENTRY bar’s high
SL -8% from the ENTRY bar’s high
Lines extend to the right automatically
Detects stop-loss touches
When price (low or close, configurable) crosses below:
SL -5% → SL5 trigger
SL -8% → SL8 trigger
Displays an upward arrow on the bar where each SL is touched
Sends alerts with fixed (const) messages
Handles multiple trades cleanly
If a stop-loss was hit and a new ENTRY appears later:
The previous SL lines are grayed out and dotted
Past exit markers (arrows) remain visible
Prevents inconsistent calculations by evaluating crossunders on every bar
👉 This enables fully mechanical, Minervini-style loss control without discretionary judgment.
EMA Combo BKEMA Combo – Multi-Timeframe Trend & Momentum Indicator
EMA Combo is a clean and efficient multi-Exponential Moving Average (EMA) indicator designed to help traders quickly identify trend direction, momentum strength, and dynamic support/resistance zones across all timeframes.
This indicator plots a structured set of five EMAs (10, 20, 50, 100, 200) on the price chart, with intelligent default visibility to keep the chart uncluttered while still allowing deeper analysis when needed.
⸻
Default EMA Structure
By default, the indicator displays only the two most actionable EMAs:
• EMA 20 (Blue) – Short-term momentum EMA
• EMA 50 (Red) – Core trend EMA
The following EMAs are hidden by default and can be enabled manually from the indicator settings:
• EMA 10 (Teal) – Ultra-fast EMA for scalping and very short-term momentum
• EMA 100 (Purple) – Medium-term trend filter
• EMA 200 (Orange) – Long-term trend and institutional bias EMA
This default visibility ensures a clean chart for day trading, while still supporting swing and positional analysis when required.
⸻
How to Use the Indicator
1. Trend Identification
• Price above EMA 50 & EMA 200 → Bullish market structure
• Price below EMA 50 & EMA 200 → Bearish market structure
• EMA 20 above EMA 50 → Short-term bullish momentum
• EMA 20 below EMA 50 → Short-term bearish momentum
⸻
2. Momentum & Pullback Trading
• In strong trends, price often pulls back to EMA 20 or EMA 50 before continuing
• EMA 20 acts as a dynamic momentum line
• EMA 50 acts as a trend support / resistance zone
⸻
3. Scalping & Short-Term Trading (EMA 10)
• Enable EMA 10 for:
• High-frequency scalping
• Momentum bursts
• Early trend acceleration
• Best used on lower timeframes (1m–5m)
⸻
4. Swing & Positional Trading (EMA 100 & 200)
• EMA 100 helps filter mid-term trend strength
• EMA 200 defines:
• Institutional bias
• Long-term support & resistance
• Bull vs Bear market zones
A market is considered structurally strong when:
EMA 20 > EMA 50 > EMA 100 > EMA 200
Mission Control Dashboard (AI, Crypto, Liquidity)Description: Mission Control Dashboard (AI, Liquidity) is a comprehensive macro-liquidity and cycle-analysis dashboard designed to track the "Flow of Funds" across traditional and crypto markets. Instead of looking at price action alone, this script monitors the fundamental "plumbing" of the global economy.
Key Metrics Tracked:
The Debt Wall: Monitors the US 10Y Yield and TLT price. It signals a "Critical" state if yields spike above 5% or TLT drops below $80, indicating high stress in the bond market.
Global Liquidity (MTF Stable): A proprietary calculation summing the balance sheets of the FED, ECB, BoJ, and PBoC, plus Stablecoin market cap. It calculates the Rate of Change (ROC) to see if the world is "printing" or "draining" money.
TGA Hidden Fuel: Tracks the Treasury General Account. A falling TGA is often bullish for risk assets as it injects liquidity into the banking system.
Universal Alt Season: Monitors TOTAL3 (Crypto market cap excluding BTC & ETH) for parabolic moves (>30% ROC).
AI Infra Capex: Real-time tracking of Capital Expenditures from MSFT, GOOG, AMZN, and META to gauge the health of the AI cycle.
How to use:
Green Status across the board: High probability for "Risk-On" environments (Alt season, Tech rallies).
Strategic Beta vs. Tactical Alpha: If Beta is draining but Alpha is accelerating, it suggests a "False Breakout" or a divergence in liquidity.
Uranium Trend: Used as a proxy for the energy transition and long-term industrial cycle strength.

Dynamic Flow Ribbon [Adaptive]The Dynamic Flow Ribbon is a next-generation trend-following tool designed to solve the two biggest problems traders face: Lag and Noise .
Unlike traditional Moving Averages (SMA/EMA) that are often too slow to catch reversals or too sensitive to chop, this indicator utilizes Rational Quadratic Kernel Smoothing . This advanced mathematical approach creates a "Flow Ribbon" that hugs price action tightly during trends while remaining silky smooth, filtering out the random noise that leads to false signals.
This is not just a crossover indicator; it is a complete Market Regime Detector . It automatically identifies when the market is trending and when it is ranging, helping you stay out of dangerous "chop" zones.
Why Use This?
Zero-Lag Smoothing: Experience the responsiveness of a fast EMA with the smoothness of a slow SMA.
Chop Filter: The ribbon automatically turns Gray when volatility (ADX) drops, signaling you to sit on your hands and preserve capital.
Visual Clarity: No messy lines. Just a clean, glowing ribbon that tells you the trend direction instantly.
How It Works
The indicator calculates two dynamic curves:
Fast Flow Line: Tracks immediate price action using a tight kernel window.
Base Flow Line: A slower, weighted baseline that acts as the trend anchor.
The Ribbon: The space between these lines forms the "Ribbon."
Green (Bullish): Fast Flow > Base Flow. The trend is Up.
Red (Bearish): Fast Flow < Base Flow. The trend is Down.
Gray (Flat): Volatility is too low (ADX < Threshold). The market is sideways.
How to Trade
This tool is best used for Trend Continuation and Reversal Catching .
The Entry: Wait for a Crossover Signal (Small Circle).
Buy when the Ribbon flips Green.
Sell when the Ribbon flips Red.
The Filter: If the Ribbon is Gray , ignore all signals. This prevents you from getting whipsawed in a ranging market.
The Exit: You can ride the trend until the Ribbon flips color, or use your own support/resistance targets.
Settings
Bandwidth (Smoothness): Adjusts the sensitivity of the kernel. Higher values = smoother ribbon (better for swing trading). Lower values = faster reaction (better for scalping).
Trend Filter: Toggle the ADX-based chop filter on/off.
Visuals: Fully customizable colors to match your chart aesthetic.
Pro Tip: Combine for Maximum Accuracy
While the Dynamic Flow Ribbon is excellent for Trend Direction, it does not plot Support & Resistance levels.
For the ultimate trading setup, I highly recommend pairing this with my AIO Pivot Master
or any other pivot indicator, which you can easily find on TradingView.
Use Dynamic Flow to determine the Direction .
Use AIO Pivot Master to find your Entry and Exit targets .

Reflation Proxy: (QQQ/GSG) vs QQQ (Base-100)This indicator builds a single “reflation impulse” line by standardizing the QQQ/GSG ratio (growth equities vs commodities) and comparing it to QQQ over the same Base-100 lookback window. The result highlights when commodities are catching up to or outperforming growth (reflation/broadening impulse) versus when growth is dominating real assets (disinflation/duration regime). The main line is smoothed with a user-defined EMA and includes three configurable control EMAs (21/50/100 by default). Rising readings generally reflect growth leadership; a rollover into a sustained decline tends to mark reflation pressure building under the surface.
