MFI- Momentum Fusion IndicatorIndicator Overview
The "MFI - Momentum Fusion Indicator" is a comprehensive trading tool designed for TradingView that combines several technical analysis methods to assist traders in identifying potential buy and sell opportunities in financial markets.
Key Components
Moving Averages (MA): Uses two Simple Moving Averages (SMA) with periods defined by the user (default 10 and 20). The indicator generates buy signals when the shorter MA (MA 10) crosses above the longer MA (MA 20) and sell signals when it crosses below, helping to pinpoint trend reversals.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): A momentum oscillator that helps identify overbought or oversold conditions, adding a layer of confirmation to the signals generated by the moving averages.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA 50): Used to gauge the medium-term trend direction. The color of the EMA line changes based on whether the trend is up (green) or down (red), providing a visual representation of the market trend.
Average True Range (ATR): This component measures market volatility. Signals are only generated when the ATR confirms significant market movement relative to the EMA50, enhancing the reliability of the signals during volatile conditions.
How It Works
Signal Generation: The core of the indicator is based on the crossover of two SMAs. A buy signal is issued when the short-term MA crosses above the long-term MA during sufficient market volatility (confirmed by ATR). Conversely, a sell signal is triggered when the short-term MA crosses below the long-term MA under similar conditions.
Trend Confirmation: The EMA50 helps confirm the broader market trend, while the ATR ensures that the crossover signals occur during periods of meaningful price movement, filtering out noise and less significant price movements.
Use Case
For Traders: The indicator is ideal for traders who need clear, actionable signals combined with an assessment of market conditions. It’s particularly useful in markets where understanding volatility and momentum is crucial, such as in cryptocurrencies and forex.
Benefits
Comprehensive Analysis: Combines trend, momentum, and volatility analysis in one tool, providing a multifaceted approach to the markets.
Enhanced Decision-Making: By integrating multiple indicators, it reduces the likelihood of false signals and enhances decision-making confidence.
Customizable and Dynamic: Allows for easy adjustment of parameters to fit different trading styles and market conditions.
This indicator equips traders with a powerful blend of tools to analyze price movements and make informed trading decisions based on a combination of trend, momentum, and volatility insights.

EMA 20/50/100/200 [NT-DIGITALS]This script plots Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) of 20, 50, 100, and 200 periods on the chart. EMAs are commonly used by traders to identify trends and potential reversal points in the market. The EMA smooths out price data to create a single line that follows the overall trend more closely than a simple moving average. By plotting multiple EMAs of different periods, traders can observe the interaction between short-term and long-term trends, aiding in decision-making for entry and exit points.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average that gives more weight to recent price data, making it more responsive to current price movements compared to a simple moving average (SMA). The EMA is calculated by applying a smoothing factor to the previous EMA value and adding a fraction of the difference between the current price and the previous EMA value. This weighting mechanism results in EMAs reacting more quickly to price changes, making them popular for traders looking to capture short-term trends in the market.
DEMA Adjusted Average True Range [BackQuant]The use of the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) within your Adjusted Average True Range (ATR) calculation serves as a cornerstone for enhancing the indicator's responsiveness to market changes. To delve deeper into why DEMA is employed specifically in the context of your ATR calculation, let's explore the inherent qualities of DEMA and its impact on the ATR's performance.
DEMA and Its Advantages
As previously mentioned, DEMA was designed to offer a more responsive alternative to the traditional Exponential Moving Average (EMA). By giving more weight to recent price data, DEMA reduces the lag typically associated with moving averages. This reduction in lag is especially beneficial for short-term traders looking to capitalize on trend reversals and other market movements as swiftly as possible.
The calculation of DEMA involves the following steps:
Calculate EMA1: This is the Exponential Moving Average of the price.
Calculate EMA2: This is the Exponential Moving Average of EMA1, thus it is a smoothing of a smoothing, leading to a greater lag.
Formulate DEMA: The formula
EMA1 = EMA of price
EMA2 = EMA of EMA1
DEMA = (2 x EMA1) - EMA2
effectively doubles the weighting of the most recent data points by subtracting the lagged, double-smoothed EMA2 from twice the single-smoothed EMA1.
This process enhances the moving average's sensitivity to recent price movements, allowing the DEMA to adhere more closely to the price bars than either EMA1 or EMA2 alone.
Integration with ATR
In the context of your ATR calculation, the integration of DEMA plays a crucial role in defining the indicator's core functionality. Here's a detailed explanation of how DEMA affects the ATR calculation:
Initial Determination of DEMA : By applying the DEMA formula to the chosen source data (which can be adjusted to use Heikin Ashi candle close prices for an even smoother analysis), you set a foundation for a more reactive trend-following mechanism within the ATR framework.
Application to ATR Bands : The calculated DEMA serves as the central line from which the ATR bands are derived. The ATR value, multiplied by a user-defined factor, is added to and subtracted from the DEMA to form the upper and lower bands, respectively. This dynamic adjustment not only reflects the volatility based on the ATR but does so in a way that is closely aligned with the most recent price action, thanks to the utilization of DEMA.
Enhanced Signal Quality : The responsiveness of DEMA ensures that the ATR bands adjust more promptly to changes in market conditions. This quality is vital for traders who rely on the ATR bands to identify potential entry and exit points, trend reversals, or to assess market volatility.
By employing DEMA as the core component in calculating the Adjusted Average True Range, your indicator leverages DEMA's reduced lag and increased weight on recent data to provide a more timely and accurate measure of market volatility. This innovative approach enhances the utility of the ATR by making it not only a tool for assessing volatility but also a more reactive indicator for trend analysis and trading signal generation.
The main concept of combining these is to reduce lag, get a more robust signal and still capture clear trends over medium time horizons.
For me, this is best used in confluence with other indicators, it can be made faster in order to get fasters response time, or slower. This is all depending on the needs of you as a trader.
User Inputs:
The script offers several user-configurable inputs, such as the period lengths for DEMA and ATR calculations, the multiplication factor for the ATR, and options to use Heikin Ashi candles or standard price data. Additionally, it allows for the toggling of visual features, like the plotting of the DEMA ATR and its moving average, and the application of color-coded trends on price bars.
Additional Features:
Moving Average Confluence: Traders can opt to display a moving average of the DEMA ATR, choosing from various types (e.g., SMA, EMA, HMA). This feature provides a layer of confluence, aiding in the identification of trend direction and strength.
Trend Identification :
The script employs logical conditions to ascertain the trend direction based on the movement of the DEMA ATR. It assigns colors to represent bullish or bearish trends, which are reflected in the plotted lines and the coloring of price bars.
Alerts :
Customizable alert conditions for trend reversals enhance the utility of the indicator for active trading, notifying users of significant changes in trend direction.

[blackcat] L1 Triple EMA ChannelHey, friends! blackcat is here to bring you an interesting and professional article today, talking about the "Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA) Channel" - a powerful tool as a trend indicator in volatile markets.
First of all, let's delve into the origins of the TEMA indicator. It was invented by Patrick Mulloy in the mid-90s with the aim to address the lagging issue encountered when using oscillators or Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). The TEMA indicator smooths out short-term fluctuations by utilizing multiple moving averages. What sets it apart is its unique approach of continuously using the EMA's EMA and adjusting for lag in its formula.
In this article, we will primarily focus on the functionality of the TEMA channel as a trend indicator. However, it's worth noting that its effectiveness is diminished in choppy or sideways markets. Instead, the TEMA indicator shines brightest in long-term trend trading. By utilizing TEMA, analysts can easily filter out and disregard periods of volatility, allowing them to focus on the overall trend.
To gain a comprehensive understanding of market trends, it is often recommended to combine TEMA with other oscillators or technical indicators. This combination can help traders and analysts interpret sharp price movements and assess the level of volatility. For example, some analysts suggest combining the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) with the TEMA channel to evaluate market trends more accurately.
Now, let's explore how the TEMA channel can be used as a tool to showcase interesting features of price support and resistance. In this script, the TEMA channel is represented by three bands: the upper band, the middle band, and the lower band. The upper band is depicted in white, the middle band in yellow, and the lower band in magenta.
So, let's dive deep into the world of the TEMA channel and enjoy the benefits it brings to understanding market trends. Join us on this exciting journey!

Dominant Period-Based Moving Average (DPBMA)Exploit Market Cycles with the Dominant Period-Based Moving Average Indicator
Introduction:
In the world of trading, market cycles play a crucial role in determining the rhythm of the market. These cycles often consist of recurring patterns that traders can exploit to maximize their profits. One effective way to capitalize on these cycles is by using a moving average (MA) indicator. Today, we are going to introduce you to a unique indicator that takes the most frequent dominant period of the market and uses it as the length of the moving average. This indicator is designed to adapt to the ever-changing market conditions, providing traders with a dynamic tool to better analyze the market.
Dominant Period-Based Moving Average Indicator Overview:
The Dominant Period-Based Moving Average (DPBMA) Indicator is a custom indicator designed to find the most frequent dominant period of the market and use that period as the length of the moving average. This innovative approach allows the indicator to adapt to the market cycles, making it more responsive to the market's changing conditions.
Here's a quick overview of the DPBMA Indicator's features:
Takes the most frequent dominant period of the market.
Uses the dominant period as the length of the moving average.
Adapts to the changing market cycles.
Works as an overlay on your price chart.
Using the Dominant Period-Based Moving Average Indicator:
How the Dominant Period-Based Moving Average Indicator Works:
The DPBMA Indicator works by first importing the DominantCycle function from the lastguru/DominantCycle/2 script. This function calculates the dominant cycle period of the given market data. The DPBMA Indicator then calculates the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) using the dominant period as the length parameter.
The EMA calculation uses an alpha factor, which is calculated as 2 / (length + 1). The alpha factor is then used to smooth the source data (closing prices) and calculate the adaptive moving average.
The DPBMA Indicator also includes a harmonic input, which allows you to multiply the dominant cycle period by an integer value. This can help you fine-tune the indicator to better fit your trading strategy or style.
The Raw Dominant Frequency:
The raw dominant frequency represents the primary cycle period present in the given market data. By identifying the raw dominant frequency, traders can gain insights into the market's current cycle and use this information to make informed trading decisions. The raw dominant frequency can be useful for detecting major trend reversals, support and resistance levels, and potential entry and exit points.
However, using the raw dominant frequency alone has its limitations. For instance, it may not always provide a clear picture of the market's prevailing trend, especially during periods of high market volatility. Additionally, relying solely on the raw dominant frequency may not capture the nuances of shorter-term cycles that can also impact price movements.
The Most Likely Dominant Frequency:
Our approach takes a different angle by focusing on the most likely dominant frequency. This method aims to identify the frequency with the highest probability of being the dominant frequency in the market data. The idea behind this approach is to filter out potential noise and improve the accuracy of the dominant frequency analysis. By using the most likely dominant frequency, traders can gain a more reliable understanding of the market's primary cycle, which can lead to better trading decisions.
In our Dominant Period-Based Moving Average Indicator, we calculate the most likely dominant frequency by analyzing an array of cycle periods and their occurrences in the given market data. We then determine the cycle period with the highest occurrence, representing the most likely dominant frequency. This method allows the indicator to be more adaptive and responsive to the changing market conditions, capturing the nuances of both long-term and short-term cycles.
Why Not the Average Dominant Frequency?
While using the average dominant frequency might seem like a reasonable approach, it can be less effective in accurately capturing the market's primary cycle. Averaging the dominant frequencies may dilute the impact of the true dominant frequency, resulting in a less accurate representation of the market's current cycle. By focusing on the most likely dominant frequency, our approach provides a more accurate and reliable analysis of the market's primary cycle, which can ultimately lead to more effective trading decisions.
Conclusion:
The Dominant Period-Based Moving Average Indicator, enhanced with the most likely dominant frequency approach, offers traders a powerful tool for exploiting market cycles. By adapting to the most frequent dominant period and focusing on the most likely dominant frequency, this indicator provides a more accurate and reliable analysis of the market's primary cycle. As a result, traders can make better-informed decisions, ultimately leading to improved trading performance. Incorporate the DPBMA Indicator into your trading toolbox today, and take advantage of the enhanced market analysis it provides.

What is MACD?
Moving average convergence divergence ( MACD ) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price. The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period exponential moving average ( EMA ) from the 12-period EMA .
What is CCI?
The Commodity Channel Index ( CCI ) measures the current price level relative to an average price level over a given period of time. CCI is relatively high when prices are far above their average. CCI is relatively low when prices are far below their average. Using this method, CCI can be used to identify overbought and oversold levels.
What is RSI?
The relative strength index is a technical indicator used in the analysis of financial markets. It is intended to chart the current and historical strength or weakness of a stock or market based on the closing prices of a recent trading period. The indicator should not be confused with relative strength .
What is Stochastic?
The stochastic oscillator, also known as stochastic indicator, is a popular trading indicator that is useful for predicting trend reversals. It also focuses on price momentum and can be used to identify overbought and oversold levels in shares, indices, currencies and many other investment assets.
What is Loxxer?
The Loxxer indicator is a technical analysis tool that compares the most recent maximum and minimum prices to the previous period's equivalent price to measure the demand of the underlying asset.
What is Velocity?
In simple words, velocity is the speed at which something moves in a particular direction. For example as the speed of a car travelling north on a highway, or the speed a rocket travels after launching.

Volume Weighted Hull Moving Average Bollinger Bands (VWHBB)Title: "Volume Weighted Hull Moving Average Bollinger Bands Indicator for TradingView"
Abstract: This script presents a TradingView indicator that displays Bollinger Bands based on the volume weighted Hull Moving Average (VEHMA) of a financial asset. The VEHMA is a technical analysis tool that combines the reduced lag of the Hull Moving Average (HMA) with volume weighting to provide a more sensitive indicator of market trends and dynamics. The Bollinger Bands are a volatility indicator that plot upper and lower bands around a moving average, which can help traders identify potential trend changes and overbought or oversold conditions. The script allows the user to customize the VEHMA length and Bollinger Band deviation parameters.
Introduction: Bollinger Bands are a popular technical analysis tool used to identify potential trend changes and overbought or oversold conditions in the market. They are constructed by plotting upper and lower bands around a moving average, with the width of the bands determined by the volatility of the asset. The VEHMA is a variant of the Hull Moving Average (HMA) that combines the reduced lag of the HMA with volume weighting to provide a more sensitive indicator of market trends and dynamics.
Methodology: The VEHMA is calculated using a weighted average of two exponential moving averages (EMAs), with the weighting based on the volume of the asset and the length of the moving average. The Bollinger Bands are calculated by plotting the VEHMA plus and minus a standard deviation of the asset's price over a specified period. The standard deviation is a measure of the volatility of the asset and helps to adjust the width of the bands based on market conditions.
Implementation: The script is implemented in TradingView's PineScript language and can be easily added to any chart on the platform. The user can customize the VEHMA length and Bollinger Band deviation parameters to suit their trading strategy. The VEHMA, Bollinger Bands, and fill colors are plotted on the chart to provide a visual representation of the indicator.
Conclusion: The VEHMA Bollinger Bands indicator is a useful tool for traders looking to identify potential trend changes and overbought or oversold conditions in the market. This script provides a convenient and customizable implementation of the indicator for use in TradingView.
2 MA Ratio Can Help with Moving AveragesMany technical analysts use moving average crosses to assess trend changes. A faster-moving MA crossing above a slower-moving line may be viewed as a bullish signal. The opposite can apply to the downside.
While these methods may help analyze price direction, they can often force traders to wait until the cross occurs. Sometimes it may be useful to anticipate the event – or at least know it’s getting close.
That’s where the custom script 2 MA Ratio can be useful because it tracks the fast and slow moving averages. The fast MA is then shown as a percent of the slow MA. Positive readings indicate a bullish condition and vice versa for the negative.
It’s also color-coded to clearly illustrate when the crosses occur.
2 MA Ratio can handle simple moving averages (SMAs) and exponential moving averages (EMAs). It even lets you compare SMAs to EMAs. Users can choose between using open, high, low or closing prices as the inputs. (It defaults to Close.)
The chart above shows the short-term pair of the 8- and 21-day EMAs on Tesla (TSLA). The second chart below shows the same stock with the slower 50- and 200-day SMAs. Notice the “Golden Cross” last summer and the “Death Cross” in May:

Moving Averages Different Type & SourceThis is a indicator to plot moving averages. User has the option to choose whether to plot SMA (simple moving average) or EMA (exponential moving average). Length of the averages also can be changed by user. The main feature also is use of different source for different length of MAs. Like you can plot 9SMA High with 20EMA Close etc. So, you can plot different types of combinations with type of MA (sma and ema) and Source type (high, low, open, close etc.).
A table also added in the right top to show the values of MA in selected timeframe. The red color indicate current price is below that ma and green color indicate current price is above that ma. Same feature added in plot of ma line by checking toggle color feature option on. It will show green color ma when price is above it and red color ma lines when price is below it.
EMA Multi CrossThis is just a very simple EMA indicator that shows the 20, 50, 100, and 200 Exponential Moving Averages and plots some shapes when the lines cross from the 20 & 50, the 50 & 200, and the 100 & 200.
I know there are many EMA indicators out there, but I couldn't find one that let me edit the colors, values, and toggle the crossings. Maybe some of you will find usefulness in having some of these extra options too.
I use this occasionally on the Bitcoin 1 hour charts to see how the long-term trend is going.
Here are some ways to read EMA lines:
Slope: A rising moving average generally reflects a rising trend, while a falling moving average points to a falling trend.
Crosses: Seeing when a slower moving average crosses over/under a faster moving average can be an indication of a trend. If a shorter moving average remains above the longer moving average after they cross, the uptrend is considered intact. The trend is seen as down when the shorter moving average is below the longer moving average.
I prefer the slope of the two since crosses can cause some false positives if you are relying on it for trades.
Adam Khoo Moving AveragesThis indicator will plot the simple and exponential moving averages Adam Khoo is also looking at for buying opportunities.
The best timeframe to use this indicator is the daily chart . The weekly moving averages are hard coded and don't change on any other timeframe. The other moving averages will show the values of your current timeframe.
In the settings you have the option to change the values of the moving averages and to show or not show the current timeframe moving averages or the weekly moving averages.
A label will also show the current value of all moving averages. To hide this label, go into the settings and click on 'Style' and at the bottom uncheck 'Labels'.
Happy trading ;-)

Overbought or Oversold? Check Distance From MAMoving averages are one of the most basic tools for technical analysts. They can be useful for both trend analysis and for mean reversion.
But how can you know when price is historically overbought or oversold relative to a moving average? Distance from MA can help.
This indicator calculates the distance from a moving average as a percentage and plots the result as an oscillator. Values above 0 appear in green, while negative readings are colored red.
This chart highlights the depth of the S&P 500's recent selloff. As you can see, the close dipped to 25 percent below its 50-day SMA on Monday. That was its most oversold condition since November 20, 2008 -- in the middle of the subprime financial crisis.
Distance from MA can handle five types of moving average. Simply change the "AvgType" input according to this key:
1 - Simple Moving Average
2 - Exponential Moving Average
3 - Hull Moving Average
4 - Weighted Moving Average
5 - Volume-Weighted Moving Average
Fast/Slow Degree OscillatorIntroduction
The estimation of a least squares moving average of any degree isn't an interesting goal, this is due to the fact that lsma of high degrees would highly overshoot as well as overfit the closing price, which wouldn't really appear smooth. However i proposed an estimate of an lsma of any degree using convolution and a new sine wave series, all the calculation are described in the paper : "Pierrefeu, Alex (2019): A New Low-Pass FIR Filter For Signal Processing."
Today i want to make use of this filter as an oscillator providing fast entry points. The oscillator would be similar to the MACD in the sense that is consist on the difference between two filters, with one faster than the other, however unlike the MACD which use two moving averages of different length, here i'll use two filters of same length but different degrees.
The Indicator
The indicator consist in 3 elements, one main line (in green) the trigger line (in orange) and the histogram which is the difference between the green line and the red one. The main line is made from the difference between two filters of both period length and different degrees (fast, slow), fast should always be higher than slow. The signal line is just the exponential moving average of the main line, the period of the exponential moving average can be adjusted from the settings.
Both fast/slow determine the degree of the filters, higher values will create a faster filter.
For those who are curious, the filter use a kernel who estimate a polynomial function, this is how an lsma work, the kernel of an lsma of degree p is a polynomial of degree p . I achieved this estimation using a sine wave series.
When fast = 1 and slow = 0, the oscillator appear less periodic, this equivalent to : lsma - sma
Using 2/1 allow the indicator to highlight cycles more easily without being uncorrelated with the price. This is equivalent to qlsma - lsma, where qlsma is a quadratic least squares moving average. This is similar to my old indicator "Linear Quadratic Convergence Divergence Oscillator".
By default the indicator use 3 for fast and 2 for slow, but you can increase both values, here 4/3 :
In general higher values of fast/slow will create way more cyclical results, but they can be uncorrelated with the market price.
Conclusion
This indicator was rather made to show the filter calculation rather than proposing something interesting. However it can be funny to see how the difference between low lag filters create more cyclical outputs, it often allow indicators to have more predictive capabilities.
I invite you to read the paper made about the filter, codes for both pinescript and python are provided.

Awesome Moving AveragesThis script allows you to add up to four simple and exponential moving averages the the chart instead of adding 4 simple moving averages and 4 exponential moving averages individually.
The stronger lines are SMA's and the thinner lines are EMA's.
White - "1st SMA" and "1st EMA"
Green - "2nd SMA" and "2nd EMA"
Blue - "3rd SMA" and "3rd EMA"
Red - "4th SMA" and "4th EMA"
You can modify which moving averages are visible on the chart and also modify the period of the moving averages.
There are four periods which you can edit - each period applies to a pair of moving averages (a pair of SMA and EMA). For example: "1st MA Length" option applies to "1st SMA" and "1st EMA" etc.
ibb.co
In addition to that Awesome Moving Averages script allows you to keep the daily moving averages resolution on intraday charts.
For example - here we have only "1st SMA" and "1st EMA" enabled and we are viewing a daily chart:
Now if we have "Keep Daily MA Resolution On Intraday Periods" option enabled we would see the daily moving averages (SMA and EMA) on intraday periods. Here we are viewing a 4h chart:
If you disable this option you would see the moving averages on intraday charts with the intraday MA lengths as you expect:
"Visible MA's On Intraday Periods" option allows you to choose which MA's you would like to be visible on intraday charts if the "Keep Daily MA Resolution On Intraday Periods" option is enabled.
If you have any thoughts or ideas on how to improve the "Awesome Moving Averages" script then let me know!
4 Time Frame Two EMAs Ribbon Comparison - Tom1traderI had seen something like this on metatrader but not here. Since I use TradingView and not metatrader had some fun with this. Indicates up or down for 4 chosen time Frames and as such helps to see the historical trend. Works best on daily or shorter charts because of load time.
User can choose the length of the two exponential moving averages used on each time frame or use defaults 9 and 15.
User can choose the 4 time frames defaults are (display from top to bottom) 5, 15, 60 and D.
Displays a column of 4 dots or circles for each bar of current chart the top being the shortest time frame.
If the faster exponential moving average is above the slower (uptrend) the dot is green else red.
This is similar (actually what I was originally shooting for but took extra time to figure out time frames on here) to another script of mine that has the same display method but uses a spaced set of Hull Moving Averages on one time frame, you choose the shortest length and the space increment between the averages. One may work better than the other for different markets or trading styles. The other one is here: Have fun trading and keep smiling!
Multi-MA SuiteMulti-MA Suite - Customizable Moving Averages Indicator
Overview
Multi-MA Suite is a comprehensive moving average indicator that combines both Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) in a single, highly customizable tool. Designed for traders who rely on multiple timeframe analysis, this indicator provides up to 9 moving averages (5 EMAs + 4 SMAs) with full control over visibility, color schemes, and parameters.
Key Features
✓ Dual MA Types:
5 Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) - Responsive to recent price action, ideal for short to medium timeframes
4 Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) - Slow and stable, specifically designed for long timeframe analysis
✓ Full Customization:
Individual toggle switches to show/hide each moving average
Custom color picker for each MA line
Adjustable length and source for all moving averages
Progressive line width (thicker lines for longer periods)
✓ Pre-configured Defaults:
EMA: 9, 21, 50, 100, 200 (common swing trading periods)
SMA: 50, 100, 200, 300 (institutional reference levels for long-term trends)
Color-coded scheme: Warm colors (yellow-orange) for EMAs, Cool colors (blue-purple) for SMAs
✓ Clean Interface:
Organized input groups for easy navigation
Clear labeling and logical parameter ordering
Minimal chart clutter with toggle controls
Key Difference - Speed & Timeframe:
EMAs: Fast and reactive → Best for short to medium timeframes (1-min to 4-hour charts)
SMAs: Slow and smooth → Best for long timeframes (daily, weekly, monthly charts)
Recommended Settings
Day Trading (Short Timeframes):
Focus on EMAs: 9, 21, 50
Use 1-minute to 15-minute charts
SMAs react too slowly for intraday timeframes
Swing Trading (Medium Timeframes):
Use all EMAs with SMA 50 and 200
1-hour to daily charts work best
Mix of EMAs for entries, SMAs for trend context
Position Trading (Long Timeframes):
Focus primarily on SMAs: 50, 100, 200, 300
Daily to weekly charts recommended
SMAs excel here due to their slow, stable nature
Can add EMA 200 for comparison
Investment Analysis (Very Long Timeframes):
SMAs only: 100, 200, 300
Weekly to monthly charts
SMA's slow calculation filters noise perfectly for long-term trends
EMA Timeframe-Specific Recommendations
📌 Important Notes on EMA Usage by Timeframe:
Small Timeframes (5-minute and 15-minute charts):
Use 9 EMA and 21 EMA
These fast EMAs respond quickly to price changes
Perfect for scalping and day trading
The 9/21 EMA crossover is a popular day trading strategy
Medium Timeframes (1-hour to 4-hour charts):
Use 21 EMA and 50 EMA
Balances responsiveness with trend reliability
Ideal for swing trading and intraday position holding
The 21/50 EMA combination filters out noise while staying responsive
Long Timeframes (Daily and Weekly charts):
Use 50 EMA and 200 EMA
The classic trend-following combination
50 EMA for medium-term trend, 200 EMA for major trend
The 50/200 EMA crossover is known as the "Golden Cross" (bullish) or "Death Cross" (bearish)
For very long-term analysis on these timeframes, consider using SMAs instead
Quick Reference Guide:
5m / 15m: EMA 9 & 21
1h / 4h: EMA 21 & 50
1D / 1W: EMA 50 & 200 (or switch to SMAs for even smoother signals)
Practical Trading Strategy with EMAs
📌 Why Use EMAs for Active Trading:
For active trading, use EMAs because they have faster movement compared to SMAs. This faster response to price changes allows you to catch trends earlier and exit trades before major reversals occur.
Three-EMA Trading System:
1. 9 EMA - Quick Trend Recognition:
Use the 9 EMA to understand the trend quickly
When price is above 9 EMA = Short-term uptrend
When price is below 9 EMA = Short-term downtrend
The 9 EMA reacts immediately to price momentum changes
Perfect for entry timing and quick trend identification
2. 21 EMA - Exit Signal and Trend Confirmation:
When the 21 EMA breaks (price crosses it), exit your trade
This is critical because when the 21 EMA breaks, the trend will likely reverse
The 21 EMA acts as your "stop-loss line"
Breaking the 21 EMA signals that the short-term momentum has shifted
Example: In an uptrend, when price crosses below 21 EMA, exit longs immediately
Example: In a downtrend, when price crosses above 21 EMA, exit shorts immediately
3. 50 EMA - Full Correction Understanding:
Use the 50 EMA to understand the complete correction
The 50 EMA shows where the full pullback or correction might end
When price reaches the 50 EMA, it often bounces (in a strong trend)
Breaking the 50 EMA indicates a deeper correction or potential trend reversal
Use it to gauge the strength of the overall trend
Customization Tips
Toggle unnecessary MAs off to reduce chart clutter based on your trading style and timeframe
For the 3-EMA trading strategy, enable only 9, 21, and 50 EMAs
For long timeframes (daily+), disable EMAs and use only SMAs to avoid over-reactive signals
Match your EMA selection to your timeframe using the guide above
Adjust colors to match your chart theme or to highlight specific MAs
Modify lengths to fit specific market conditions or asset volatility
Change source from close to high/low/HL2 for alternative perspectives
Use thicker lines for key decision MAs (edit linewidth in settings)
Color Scheme Rationale
EMAs (Warm Colors):
Yellow → Orange progression represents increasing timeframes while maintaining visual cohesion. The warm palette signals "active" or "fast-reacting" nature of EMAs, perfect for shorter timeframes and active trading.
SMAs (Cool Colors):
Blue → Purple progression provides clear visual distinction from EMAs. The cool palette suggests "stable," "slow," and "smooth" characteristics of SMAs, ideal for long timeframe analysis.
What Makes This Different?
Unlike basic MA indicators, Multi-MA Suite provides:
Both EMA and SMA in one indicator (saves indicator slots)
Optimized MA selection based on speed characteristics - fast EMAs for short timeframes, slow SMAs for long timeframes
Clear timeframe-specific EMA recommendations for immediate use
Practical trading strategy included - 9 EMA for trend, 21 EMA for exit, 50 EMA for corrections
Individual control over each MA (toggle, color, parameters)
Thoughtful default settings based on widely-used trading periods
Color-coded system for instant visual differentiation
Clean, organized interface for efficient workflow
Installation & Usage
Add the indicator to your chart
Open indicator settings to customize
For active trading: Enable 9, 21, and 50 EMAs (the recommended trading system)
Select appropriate MAs for your timeframe (use the EMA timeframe guide above)
Toggle MAs on/off based on your analysis needs
Adjust colors if desired to match your chart theme
Modify lengths and sources as needed for your strategy

On Balance Volume [BrightSideTrading]
# On Balance Volume - Complete User Guide
## Overview
This enhanced OBV indicator provides clean, actionable volume analysis with intelligent signal filtering. It combines On-Balance Volume (OBV) with a smoothed signal line to identify shifts in buying and selling pressure without chart clutter.
**Key Features:**
- Real-time OBV and signal line visualization
- Smart crossover detection with confirmation filtering
- Z-Score momentum analysis
- Customizable signal alerts with V-shaped markers
- Window-normalized option for detrended analysis
---
## What is On-Balance Volume (OBV)?
OBV is a volume-based momentum indicator that accumulates volume on up days and subtracts volume on down days. It answers a fundamental question: **Is volume flowing in (buying) or out (selling)?**
**Formula:**
- If Close > Previous Close: OBV = Previous OBV + Volume
- If Close < Previous Close: OBV = Previous OBV - Volume
- If Close = Previous Close: OBV = Previous OBV (unchanged)
**What it tells you:**
- **Rising OBV** = Accumulation (smart money buying)
- **Falling OBV** = Distribution (smart money selling)
- **OBV above zero line** = Net positive buying pressure
- **OBV below zero line** = Net negative selling pressure
---
## Interface & Settings
### **MAIN VISUALIZATION**
**OBV Line (Green/Red Ribbon)**
- Green when OBV is above the signal line (bullish trend)
- Red when OBV is below the signal line (bearish trend)
- Toggles between window-normalized (detrended) and raw values
**Signal Line (Orange)**
- Smoothed average of OBV
- Crossovers with OBV generate buy/sell signals
- Default: 21-period SMA
**V-Shaped Markers**
- Green upward V = Bullish crossover (buy signal)
- Red downward V = Bearish crossover (sell signal)
- Appears at the OBV value when signal is triggered
**Zero Line (Yellow)**
- Center equilibrium point for volume balance
- Acts as support/resistance for OBV
- Separates buying pressure (above) from selling pressure (below)
---
### **SOURCE GROUP**
**Source**
- **Default:** Close
- **Options:** Open, High, Low, or any custom value
- Controls which price value triggers OBV direction changes
- Most traders use Close for standard OBV calculation
---
### **SIGNAL SMOOTHING GROUP**
**Show Signal?**
- **Default:** ON
- Toggle visibility of the signal line
- Disable if you prefer to see raw OBV only
**Smoothing Type**
- **SMA (Simple Moving Average)** - Default, standard smoothing
- **EMA (Exponential Moving Average)** - Faster response, weights recent bars more heavily
- **Choose SMA** for consistent, traditional OBV signals
- **Choose EMA** for faster trend identification (more whipsaws possible)
**Smoothing Length**
- **Default:** 21 bars
- **Range:** 1-200 bars
- **Lower values** (5-14): Faster signals, more noise
- **Higher values** (30-50): Slower signals, fewer false alarms
- **Recommendation:** Use 21-25 for most timeframes
---
### **SIGNAL FILTERING GROUP**
This is your primary control for signal quality and frequency.
**Show Signal Markers?**
- **Default:** ON
- Toggle the V-shaped buy/sell markers on/off
- Disable if markers distract from your analysis
**Signal Filter Type**
- **None** - Shows every single crossover (noisy, best for skilled traders)
- **Confirmation Bars** - Waits N bars before confirming signal (recommended)
- **Strength-Based** - Only signals during strong momentum (filters weakest moves)
#### **CONFIRMATION BARS MODE** (Recommended)
Best for reducing false signals while staying responsive to real moves.
**Confirmation Bars**
- **Default:** 2 bars
- **Range:** 1-10 bars
- Waits for the signal to hold for N consecutive bars after crossover
- **Setting 1:** Every crossover (same as "None")
- **Setting 2:** Wait 1 bar confirmation (good balance)
- **Setting 3:** Wait 2 bars confirmation (filters 50% of noise)
- **Setting 4+:** Very selective, misses quick reversals
**How it works:**
1. OBV crosses signal line → Confirmation counter starts
2. If OBV stays on correct side for 2 bars → V-marker appears
3. If OBV crosses back → Counter resets, no signal
#### **STRENGTH-BASED MODE**
Only signals when momentum is statistically significant.
**Min Z-Score Strength**
- **Default:** 0.3
- **Range:** 0.0-3.0
- Requires OBV deviation from its mean to reach this threshold
- **Setting 0.1-0.3:** More signals, lower quality
- **Setting 0.5-0.8:** Moderate signals, good quality
- **Setting 1.0+:** Only the strongest momentum shifts
**How it works:**
- Calculates how far OBV is from its 50-bar average (Z-score)
- Only shows signals when this distance is meaningful
- Automatically avoids weak, choppy market conditions
---
### **VISUALS & COLORS GROUP**
**Highlight Crossovers?**
- **Default:** ON
- Master toggle for all signal markers
- Turn OFF to see only the OBV/signal lines
**Apply Ribbon Filling?**
- **Default:** ON
- Colors the space between OBV and signal line

- Provides clear visual trend confirmation
- Turn OFF for minimal chart clutter
---
### **STATS & ZONES GROUP**
**Use Window-Normalized OBV (visual only)?**
- **Default:** ON
- Removes long-term trend from OBV for clearer short-term signals
- Detrends the indicator to highlight recent momentum changes
- **ON:** Better for swing trading and identifying reversals
- **OFF:** Better for trend-following strategies
- Note: Z-Score always uses raw OBV for statistical accuracy
**OBV Normalize Window**

- Larger values = more aggressive detrending
- Adjust if you want OBV to oscillate more/less around zero
**Show Z-Score (OBV)?**
- **Default:** ON
- Displays statistical momentum indicator below main chart
- Ranges from -3 to +3 (most data within -2 to +2)
- High Z-Score = Strong buying momentum
- Low Z-Score = Strong selling momentum
**Z-Score Lookback**
- **Default:** 50 bars
- Period for calculating Z-Score mean and standard deviation
- Larger = smoother Z-Score, slower response
- Smaller = noisier Z-Score, faster response
**Show ROC (OBV Momentum)?**
- **Default:** OFF
- Rate of Change indicator for OBV velocity
- Useful for identifying momentum turning points
- Enable if you want to see speed of volume changes
**ROC Lookback**

- Likely overextended
2. **Fade extremes:** Take opposite position when Z-Score hits extreme
- High Z (>2.0) = OBV overbought, expect pullback
- Low Z (<-2.0) = OBV oversold, expect bounce
3. **Confirm:** Wait for crossover signal to enter
4. **Target:** Outer zone of opposite side or zero line

## Common Questions & Troubleshooting
**Q: Why are there more sell signals than buy signals?**
A: This reflects the actual market action. Markets often decline faster than they rise (fear > greed). Confirm signals with price action and support/resistance.
**Q: The indicator keeps whipsawing, should I hide it?**
A: Increase Confirmation Bars to 3-4 or switch to Strength-Based filter. Market conditions matter—choppy markets require stricter filters.
**Q: What's the difference between normalized and raw OBV?**
A: Normalized (detrended) shows shorter-term momentum by removing long-term trends. Raw OBV shows absolute accumulation/distribution over the full period. Use normalized for swing signals, raw for trend confirmation.
**Q: My signals come too late. How do I get faster entry?**
A: Reduce Smoothing Length (try 14 instead of 21), use EMA instead of SMA, or set Confirmation Bars to 1. Trade-off: More false signals.
**Q: Can I use this for day trading?**
A: Yes, on 1m-5m charts with aggressive settings. Use Confirmation Bars: 1 and focus on Z-Score > 0.5 entries only.
**Q: Should I trade every signal?**
A: No. Filter signals using: price near support/resistance, multiple indicators confirming, and Z-Score showing momentum. Best signals occur at key levels.

## Best Practices
1. **Always confirm with price action:** OBV signals work best when price is near support, resistance, or moving average. Don't trade signals in a vacuum.
2. **Use volume context:** Check if volume is increasing or decreasing on the signal. Strong signals have volume confirmation (increasing volume on OBV spikes).
3. **Adjust settings per timeframe:**
- 1m-5m: Smoothing 12, Confirmation 1, Z-Score 0.2
- 15m-1h: Smoothing 20, Confirmation 2, Z-Score 0.3
- 4h-1d: Smoothing 25, Confirmation 3, Z-Score 0.5
4. **Watch the zero line:** It's your friend. OBV behavior at the zero line reveals trend strength. Bounces = healthy trend. Breaks = reversal.
5. **Risk management:** No indicator is perfect. Use proper position sizing and stop losses. OBV should confirm your thesis, not be the only reason to trade.
6. **Combine with other indicators:**
- Price moving averages for trend confirmation
- RSI or Stochastic for overbought/oversold levels
- Support/resistance for entry/exit zones
- MACD for momentum divergences

Scout Regiment - Bias# Scout Regiment - Bias Indicator
## English Documentation
### Overview
Scout Regiment - Bias is a technical indicator that measures the deviation (bias) between the current price and exponential moving averages (EMAs). It helps traders identify overbought/oversold conditions, trend strength, and potential reversal points through divergence detection.
### What is Bias?
Bias measures how far the price has moved away from a moving average, expressed as a percentage:
- **Positive Bias**: Price is above the EMA (potential overbought)
- **Negative Bias**: Price is below the EMA (potential oversold)
- **Formula**: Bias = (Price - EMA) / EMA × 100
### Key Features
#### 1. **Triple EMA Bias Lines**
The indicator calculates bias from three different EMAs:

## 中文说明文档
### 概述
Scout Regiment - Bias 是一个技术指标，用于测量当前价格与指数移动平均线（EMA）之间的偏离程度（乖离率）。它帮助交易者识别超买超卖状况、趋势强度，以及通过背离检测发现潜在的反转点。
### 什么是乖离率？
乖离率衡量价格偏离移动平均线的程度，以百分比表示：
- **正乖离**：价格高于EMA（可能超买）
- **负乖离**：价格低于EMA（可能超卖）
- **计算公式**：乖离率 = (价格 - EMA) / EMA × 100
### 核心功能
#### 1. **三重EMA乖离率线**
指标计算三条不同EMA的乖离率：
- **EMA 55 乖离率**（默认：绿色/红色，1像素线）
- 短期乖离测量
- 对价格变化反应快速
- 适合日内和波段交易
- **EMA 144 乖离率**（粉色，2像素线）
- 中期乖离测量
- 对价格波动反应平衡
- 最适合波段交易
- **EMA 233 乖离率**（白色，2像素线）
- 长期乖离测量
- 反应较慢，更稳定
- 适合仓位交易
**颜色编码：**
- 绿色：价格高于EMA（看涨）
- 红色：价格低于EMA（看跌）
#### 2. **视觉组件**
**柱状图显示**
- 以柱状图形式显示EMA 55乖离率，便于可视化
- 绿色柱：价格高于EMA 55
- 红色柱：价格低于EMA 55
- 可开关显示
**背景颜色**
- 浅绿色背景：看涨乖离（价格高于EMA 55）
- 浅红色背景：看跌乖离（价格低于EMA 55）
- 可选显示，图表更清爽
**零轴**
- 零点位置的白色横线
- 正负乖离的参考点
- 穿越表示趋势变化
**穿越标签**
- "突破"：乖离率向上穿越零轴
- "跌破"：乖离率向下穿越零轴
- 可启用/禁用以保持清晰
#### 3. **背离检测**
指标自动检测所有三条乖离率线的常规背离：
**看涨背离（黄色标签）**
