Big Snapper Alerts R2.0 by JustUncleLThis is a diversified Binary Option or Scalping Alert indicator originally designed for lower Time Frame Trend or Swing trading. Although you will find it a useful tool for higher time frames as well.
The Alerts are generated by the changing direction of the ColouredMA (HullMA by default), you then have the choice of selecting the Directional filtering on these signals or a Bollinger swing reversal filter.
The filters include:
Type 1 - The three MAs (EMAs 21,55,89 by default) in various combinations or by themselves. When only one directional MA selected then direction filter is given by ColouredMA above(up)/below(down) selected MA. If more than one MA selected the direction is given by MAs being in correct order for trend direction.
Type 2 - The SuperTrend direction is used to filter ColouredMA signals.
Type 3 - Bollinger Band Outside In is used to filter ColouredMA for swing reversals.
Type 4 - No directional filtering, all signals from the ColouredMA are shown.
Notes:
Each Type can be combined with another type to form more complex filtration.
Alerts can also be disabled completely if you just want one indicator with one colouredMA and/or 3xMAs and/or Bollinger Bands and/or SuperTrend painted on the chart.
Warning:
Be aware that combining Bollinger OutsideIn swing filter and a directional filter can be counter productive as they are opposites. So careful consideration is needed when combining Bollinger OutsideIn with any of the directional filters.
Hints:
For Binary Options try ColouredMA = HullMA(13) or HullMA(8) with Type 2 or 3 Filter.
When using Trend filters SuperTrend and/or 3xMA Trend, you will find if price reverses and breaks back through the Big Fat Signal line, then this can be a good reversal trade.

SuperTrend Oscillator v3Version 3: Improved aesthetically, complete turnaround for the strategy with which to use this indicator.
Once again, thanks to BlindFreddy and ChrisMoody for the bits of code that were assembled into this indicator.
Make the chart yours using the share button for the indicator with barcolors functionality.
Changes from v2 and looking forward: Indicator now uses a 14 length SuperTrend with no ATR multiplier. This my preferred use and I'd be grateful to hear your case for a different length/multiplier. Removed the Bollinger Bands and retracement dots due to these being gimmicky and marginally useful. There may be a version 4 should a similar concept using a rate of change analysis turn out to be useful. I have also tried -in vain- to plot internal trend peaks as horizontal S/R levels. Please pm if you are willing to help in that respect.
Strategy: The indicator will display the trend as a red/green area. It measures the spread between the closing price and the SuperTrend line, much like a CCI (close and ma). When the area contracts warning bars of the opposite trend color will warn of a reversal. When this happens, these areas will either be defended, reviving the trend, or will break, causing a trend flip. SuperTrend is unique in that breaks are typically large candles, and that its levels, especially on Weekly, Daily, Hourly, Minute timeframes, these levels will be defended (think similar to a 200sma or a 21ema). The STO making new highs within (internal) a trend is an overextension sign.
CVX Example: This is not a full analysis of CVX's stock , just an example potential trades. On the posted chart I used a weekly and a daily STO.
Long 1:The weekly showed warnings and then flipped. The daily made a double bottom, showed warnings and then flipped the daily STO at trendline support.
Long 2:The weekly still shows an uptrend, the daily made a weak break to downtrend and reversed back upwards at trendline support, forming a double bottom. Note the conservative exit when the STO made an internal new high.
Long 3: looking forward on CVX stock , the current downtrend made a weak break and is showing sings of reversal (pin bar) at horizontal support. Go long on flip of the daily (conservative) or flip of the hourly (aggressive).
