Each provided insights that directly shaped the filters, presets, and signal logic found in this release.
Much of the philosophy behind this indicator is inspired by the free Reddit PDF:
The Damn Wiki
I highly recommend reading it to better understand the edge this indicator is trying to provide.
...
What is Doji Ashi v2.0?
This indicator is designed for short-term intraday momentum trading, offering Buy and Sell signals based on a refined combination of filters including:
Trend alignment with daily SMAs
Momentum confirmation using EMA 3/8 cross
Relative volume to identify activity spikes
VWAP positioning to confirm trend consistency
Time filters to avoid unreliable early market chop
It adapts dynamically depending on whether you’re trading Stocks or Crypto, with appropriate filters toggled automatically.
...
How the Script Works
Core Logic:
A Buy signal appears when:
The price is in an uptrend (via SMAs)
VWAP and volume confirm momentum
EMA 3 crosses above EMA 8
Relative strength is strong (if enabled)
Market opens past first 30 mins
A Sell signal appears when:
The asset shows weakness across these same filters, in reverse
You’ll see green “BUY” or red “SELL” markers on your chart instantly when the full condition set is met. This script does not repaint.
Entry Logic Options:
Choose between:
"Cross" mode: Signals appear on 3/8 EMA crossover
"Above/Below" mode: Persistent signal while 3 EMA stays above/below 8 EMA
...
Strategy for Consistent Gains
This script works best on liquid stocks such as LUNR, ASTS and PLUG. It also works with Crypto. Make sure you choose the correct indicator setup type (Stocks or Crypto) in the setting before testing.
If you don't see any signals the default settings may be too strict for your chosen stock. Have a play with the settings to find the right balance for you. The default settings follow the strategy below for what I believe are currently the best results.
Alerts for buy/sell signals can be set from the alerts menu. For best results, make sure you set the alert to action on close of bar.
This indicator is most effective when:
Used with liquid stocks or crypto
Entries are confirmed with VWAP, not counter-trend
Signals are filtered by volume spikes and trend direction
Example strategy:
Buy a Call when you see a BUY signal with high volume, in an uptrend
Exit on a cross back to VWAP (the orange line) or a quick 1% profit
Do the opposite with PUTs on a SELL signal
This is ideal for quick day trades (scalps or trend moves), and avoids the choppy, uncertain zones at market open.
...
Optimizing via Settings
There are additional, stricter filters in the settings. Please adapt to your preference.
Presets:
Stocks (Default): Applies all filters but lets you disable them as needed
Crypto: Disables stock-specific filters (SPY comparison, RS, Daily trend)
Filters:
Daily Trend Filter: Helps align trades with higher timeframe direction (recommended ON for stocks)
Market Trend & RS: Filters based on SPY and relative performance (test enabling for SPY-following tickers)
VWAP Entry Filter: Keeps you from fighting the dominant intraday trend
Ignore First 30 Minutes: Avoids false signals at the open
Experiment with toggling filters ON/OFF to match your asset class and volatility conditions.
...
Finally
The best way to master this indicator is to understand the trading mindset it came from.
Read The Damn Wiki — it’s free, comprehensive, and packed with wisdom that this script distills into a usable tool.
If you would like to adapt this indicator you are very welcome to do so. All I ask in return is that you share your findings with the wider community.
...
Happy trading. May your entries be sharp and your exits cleaner.

Higher Timeframe Trend Indicator V3.0What is it?
An indicator that depicts the trend of up to 5 higher timeframes on the same chart without needing to context-switch between charts.
Features
- Supports up to 5 timeframes
- Trends indicated by 5 colored buttons: one for each timeframe
- Varying shades of green: uptrend
- Varying shades of red: downtrend
- White/silver: sideways/neutral
- Configurable length (time period) for each timeframe
- Increase length to capture long term trends; decrease it to capture only short term ones
- Configurable sensitivity for each timeframe
- Sensitivity determines what angle is considered trending and what is not
- Increase sensitivity to capture weak trends
- Decrease sensitivity to filter out weak trends and capture only strong/steep ones
- Sensitivity ranges from 1 (least sensitive) to 3 (most sensitive)
- Move the labels around vertically for better visibility by changing the "Location" and "Offset" parameters
How should one use it?
Use it to quickly browse through charts to understand the context across timeframes, and zero in on only those that have trends aligning on the higher and lower timeframes as per your strategy. For e.g., a chart that is trending up strongly on the 15min and 60min (indicated by dark green colored buttons), and trending down on the 1 and/or 5 min (indicated by red-colored buttons), can be shortlisted for a potential pullback trade. Use your favorite pullback strategy (Supply/Demand, Support/Resistance, Moving Averages, etc.) to hop in on the trend.
How are trends determined?
The indicator uses normalized %change in price of the linear regression line segment of the chosen price sources (close, high, low, MA, etc.) over a specified length to determine trend direction and intensity
Known Issues
Will indicate the trend correctly only for timeframes *higher* than the current (visible) resolution/timeframe of the chart. Might not indicate it correctly for lower timeframes ( i.e., lower than the current (visible) resolution/timeframe of the chart). For this reason, all timeframes lower than the current resolution will be hidden in the present release.
Future releases
- I am still experimenting with various sensitivity levels and the corresponding trend shades to make the tool as accurate and intuitive as possible. These modifications might come in
- Sensitivity levels might be increased.
- Bug fixes, if any
