[u]Multi Time Frame Tools[/u]

Multi Time Frame Tools (MTFT) is a suite of scripts aimed to establish a standard timeframe-based color scheme. This can be utilized to overlay different timeframes calculations/values over a single timeframe. As one example, this would allow to observe the 5-month moving average, 5-week moving average, and 5-day moving average overlaid over each other. This would allow to study a chart, get accustomed to the color scheme and study all these at the same time much easier.

All indicators calculated using the below specific timeframes as input, will always use the color scheme outlined below. This is to get you in habit of recognizing the different timeframes overlaid in top of each other. These can be personalized.

Longer TF analysis.
Yearly - Black
Semi-Annual - Yellow
Quarterly - White
Monthly - Maroon
Weekly - Royal Blue
Daily - Lime

Shorter TF analysis.
4 hour - Fuchsia
1 hour - Orange
30 min - Red
15 min - Brown
10 min - Purple
5 min - Lilac

All color coordination is able to be modified in either the “Inputs” or “Style” section. If you need to make changes, make sure to select “Save as Default” on the bottom right of the settings menu.

Recommended Chart Color Layout
I played around with color coordination a lot. The final product was what worked best for me. I personally use the following chart settings to accent all available TF colors.
-> Click on the settings wheel on your chart. -> Click on “Appearance”.
Background - Solid -> On the top row pick the 6th color from the left.
Vert Grid Lines and Horz Grid Lines -> On the top row pick the 7th color from the left.
You may of course change these and the indicator line colors as you like.

Adding indicator to Chart
-> Open the TradingView “Indicators & Strategies” library, the icon has “ƒx”. -> All premium scripts will be located under “Invite-Only Scripts” -> Click indicator to add to your chart.

[u]*** MTFT EMA Clouds ***[/u]
The Exponential Moving Average Clouds, EMA Clouds, is a commonly discussed FinTwit tool. I personally found it through Ripster47 and PatternProfits on Twitter. I have seen big FinTwit accounts solely focus on this strategy alone and have seen other big FinTwit accounts mix with their other indicators. I will be providing very basic info to utilize this script; it is up to you to dive deep into learning this strategy. I am not an expert with the tool or a financial advisor. As with all aspects of life, I recommend you research, learn, discern and practice extensively in order to become a master.
The script has the following features.
1. Two user selected timeframes(TF) per script instance. Timeframes include: Quarter, Month, Weekly, Daily, 4 hour, 1 hour, 30 min, 15 min, 10 min, and 5 min candlestick data.
2. Five Unique Clouds per selected timeframe can each be individually enabled/disabled. Cloud pairs include: 5&13, 8&9, 34&50, 72&89, and 180&200.
Below are some examples of how switching between multiple TF’s could assist you in identifying patterns and resistance/support easier. Below are 4 different timeframe EMA Clouds plotted over similar areas. What supports/resistances do you see?
Weekly timeframe selected with Quarterly Clouds

Weekly timeframe selected with Monthly Clouds

Daily timeframe selected with Weekly Clouds

1-hour timeframe selected with Daily Clouds.

This is meant to show you that the EMA Clouds often serve as resistance/support on multiple timeframes.
3. Force a specific cloud on both selected timeframes. Maybe you want to see how one cloud on several TFs looks over the same chart. Here I added two instances of the script in order to show 4 different TF clouds (Q, M, W, and D). Then I selected the “8_9” on “Force single cloud” for each instance, which will force only the selected cloud to be forced on all the selected time frames.

[u]IMPORTANT NOTE:[/u] One of the lessons I would consider most important in attaining clarity regarding trading, is “TheStrat” by Rob Smith. His lesson on “actionable signals” is something that can be applied to any strategy. For this reason, I am including “MTFT TheStrat Patterns Pro” script in all images that will depict confluence for a better trade selection.
Example using TheStrat Pro MTFT with this indicator.
Look for a “TheStrat actionable signal” or a “TheStrat Reversal signal” on a smaller timeframe that has an instance of this indicator on a larger timeframe calculation that is in range of the candlestick that formed your actionable signal. This means that the indicators plot you are observing must be above the low and below the high of the candlestick that is the actionable signal/reversal signal. Image below shows what this would look like with this indicator.
The Image below shows what this would look like with this indicator. The selected candlestick is the Weekly, it shows a hammer actionable signal and the Monthly 34 EMA in range. This actionable signal is meant to be played in a long position. If the high is breached, you would enter a long position from the high of the hammer candlestick. For targets you would look at the previous pivots, for this example all targets were hit. Note that the “Entry” and “Targets” line were added manually and are not part of the script. Setups won’t always play out so nice and clean, but given that there is so many stocks and so many signals this is just a thought to improve the quality of the signal as it has extra confluence. If you are interested in learning further, research ‘TheStrat’ by Rob Smith.
