Ultimate Scalping Tool[BullByte]Overview
The Ultimate Scalping Tool is an open-source TradingView indicator built for scalpers and short-term traders released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. It uses a custom Quantum Flux Candle (QFC) oscillator to combine multiple market forces into one visual signal. In plain terms, the script reads momentum, trend strength, volatility, and volume together and plots a special “candlestick” each bar (the QFC) that reflects the overall market bias. This unified view makes it easier to spot entries and exits: the tool labels signals as Strong Buy/Sell, Pullback (a brief retracement in a trend), Early Entry, or Exit Warning . It also provides color-coded alerts and a small dashboard of metrics. In practice, traders see green/red oscillator bars and symbols on the chart when conditions align, helping them scalp or trend-follow without reading multiple separate indicators.
Core Components
Quantum Flux Candle (QFC) Construction
The QFC is the heart of the indicator. Rather than using raw price, it creates a candlestick-like bar from the underlying oscillator values. Each QFC bar has an “open,” “high/low,” and “close” derived from calculated momentum and volatility inputs for that period . In effect, this turns the oscillator into intuitive candle patterns so traders can recognize momentum shifts visually. (For comparison, note that Heikin-Ashi candles “have a smoother look because take an average of the movement”. The QFC instead represents exact oscillator readings, so it reflects true momentum changes without hiding price action.) Colors of QFC bars change dynamically (e.g. green for bullish momentum, red for bearish) to highlight shifts. This is the first open-source QFC oscillator that dynamically weights four non-correlated indicators with moving thresholds, which makes it a unique indicator on its own.
Oscillator Normalization & Adaptive Weights
The script normalizes its oscillator to a fixed scale (for example, a 0–100 range much like the RSI) so that various inputs can be compared fairly. It then applies adaptive weighting: the relative influence of trend, momentum, volatility or volume signals is automatically adjusted based on current market conditions. For instance, in very volatile markets the script might weight volatility more heavily, or in a strong trend it might give extra weight to trend direction. Normalizing data and adjusting weights helps keep the QFC sensitive but stable (normalization ensures all inputs fit a common scale).
Trend/Momentum/Volume/Volatility Fusion
Unlike a typical single-factor oscillator, the QFC oscillator fuses four aspects at once. It may compute, for example, a trend indicator (such as an ADX or moving average slope), a momentum measure (like RSI or Rate-of-Change), a volume-based pressure (similar to MFI/OBV), and a volatility measure (like ATR) . These different values are combined into one composite oscillator. This “multi-dimensional” approach follows best practices of using non-correlated indicators (trend, momentum, volume, volatility) for confirmation. By encoding all these signals in one line, a high QFC reading means that trend, momentum, and volume are all aligned, whereas a neutral reading might mean mixed conditions. This gives traders a comprehensive picture of market strength.
Signal Classification
The script interprets the QFC oscillator to label trades. For example:
• Strong Buy/Sell : Triggered when the oscillator crosses a high-confidence threshold (e.g. breaks clearly above zero with strong slope), indicating a well-confirmed move. This is like seeing a big green/red QFC candle aligned with the trend.
• Pullbacks : Identified when the trend is up but momentum dips briefly. A Pullback Buy appears if the overall trend is bullish but the oscillator has a short retracement – a typical buying opportunity in an uptrend. (A pullback is “a brief decline or pause in a generally upward price trend”.)
• Early Buy/Sell : Marks an initial swing in the oscillator suggesting a possible new trend, before it is fully confirmed. It’s a hint of momentum building (an early-warning signal), not as strong as the confirmed “Strong” signal.
• Exit Warnings : Issued when momentum peaks or reverses. For instance, if the QFC bars reach a high and start turning red/green opposite, the indicator warns that the move may be ending. In other words, a Momentum Peak is the point of maximum strength after which weakness may follow.
These categories correspond to typical trading concepts: Pullback (temporary reversal in an uptrend), Early Buy (an initial bullish cross), Strong Buy (confirmed bullish momentum), and Momentum Peak (peak oscillator value suggesting exhaustion).
Filters (DI Reversal, Dynamic Thresholds, HTF EMA/ADX)
Extra filters help avoid bad trades. A DI Reversal filter uses the +DI/–DI lines (from the ADX system) to require that the trend direction confirms the signal . For example, it might ignore a buy signal if the +DI is still below –DI. Dynamic Thresholds adjust signal levels on-the-fly: rather than fixed “overbought” lines, they move with volatility so signals happen under appropriate market stress. An optional High-Timeframe EMA or ADX filter adds a check against a larger timeframe trend: for instance, only taking a trade if price is above the weekly EMA or if weekly ADX shows a strong trend. (Notably, the ADX is “a technical indicator used by traders to determine the strength of a price trend”, so requiring a high-timeframe ADX avoids trading against the bigger trend.)
Dashboard Metrics & Color Logic
The Dashboard in the Ultimate Scalping Tool (UST) serves as a centralized information hub, providing traders with real-time insights into market conditions, trend strength, momentum, volume pressure, and trade signals. It is highly customizable, allowing users to adjust its appearance and content based on their preferences.
1. Dashboard Layout & Customization
Short vs. Extended Mode : Users can toggle between a compact view (9 rows) and an extended view (13 rows) via the `Short Dashboard` input.
Text Size Options : The dashboard supports three text sizes— Tiny, Small, and Normal —adjustable via the `Dashboard Text Size` input.
Positioning : The dashboard is positioned in the top-right corner by default but can be moved if modified in the script.
2. Key Metrics Displayed
The dashboard presents critical trading metrics in a structured table format:
Trend (TF) : Indicates the current trend direction (Strong Bullish, Moderate Bullish, Sideways, Moderate Bearish, Strong Bearish) based on normalized trend strength (normTrend) .
Momentum (TF) : Displays momentum status (Strong Bullish/Bearish or Neutral) derived from the oscillator's position relative to dynamic thresholds.
Volume (CMF) : Shows buying/selling pressure levels (Very High Buying, High Selling, Neutral, etc.) based on the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator.
Basic & Advanced Signals:
Basic Signal : Provides simple trade signals (Strong Buy, Strong Sell, Pullback Buy, Pullback Sell, No Trade).
Advanced Signal : Offers nuanced signals (Early Buy/Sell, Momentum Peak, Weakening Momentum, etc.) with color-coded alerts.
RSI : Displays the Relative Strength Index (RSI) value, colored based on overbought (>70), oversold (<30), or neutral conditions.
HTF Filter : Indicates the higher timeframe trend status (Bullish, Bearish, Neutral) when using the Leading HTF Filter.
VWAP : Shows the V olume-Weighted Average Price and whether the current price is above (bullish) or below (bearish) it.
ADX : Displays the Average Directional Index (ADX) value, with color highlighting whether it is rising (green) or falling (red).
Market Mode : Shows the selected market type (Crypto, Stocks, Options, Forex, Custom).
Regime : Indicates volatility conditions (High, Low, Moderate) based on the **ATR ratio**.
3. Filters Status Panel
A secondary panel displays the status of active filters, helping traders quickly assess which conditions are influencing signals:
- DI Reversal Filter: On/Off (confirms reversals before generating signals).
- Dynamic Thresholds: On/Off (adjusts buy/sell thresholds based on volatility).
- Adaptive Weighting: On/Off (auto-adjusts oscillator weights for trend/momentum/volatility).
- Early Signal: On/Off (enables early momentum-based signals).
- Leading HTF Filter: On/Off (applies higher timeframe trend confirmation).
4. Visual Enhancements
Color-Coded Cells : Each metric is color-coded (green for bullish, red for bearish, gray for neutral) for quick interpretation.
Dynamic Background : The dashboard background adapts to market conditions (bullish/bearish/neutral) based on ADX and DI trends.
Customizable Reference Lines : Users can enable/disable fixed reference lines for the oscillator.
How It(QFC) Differs from Traditional Indicators
Quantum Flux Candle (QFC) Versus Heikin-Ashi
Heikin-Ashi candles smooth price by averaging (HA’s open/close use averages) so they show trend clearly but hide true price (the current HA bar’s close is not the real price). QFC candles are different: they are oscillator values, not price averages . A Heikin-Ashi chart “has a smoother look because it is essentially taking an average of the movement”, which can cause lag. The QFC instead shows the raw combined momentum each bar, allowing faster recognition of shifts. In short, HA is a smoothed price chart; QFC is a momentum-based chart.
Versus Standard Oscillators
Common oscillators like RSI or MACD use fixed formulas on price (or price+volume). For example, RSI “compares gains and losses and normalizes this value on a scale from 0 to 100”, reflecting pure price momentum. MFI is similar but adds volume. These indicators each show one dimension: momentum or volume. The Ultimate Scalping Tool’s QFC goes further by integrating trend strength and volatility too. In practice, this means a move that looks strong on RSI might be downplayed by low volume or weak trend in QFC. As one source notes, using multiple non-correlated indicators (trend, momentum, volume, volatility) provides a more complete market picture. The QFC’s multi-factor fusion is unique – it is effectively a multi-dimensional oscillator rather than a traditional single-input one.
Signal Style
Traditional oscillators often use crossovers (RSI crossing 50) or fixed zones (MACD above zero) for signals. The Ultimate Scalping Tool’s signals are custom-classified: it explicitly labels pullbacks, early entries, and strong moves. These terms go beyond a typical indicator’s generic “buy”/“sell.” In other words, it packages a strategy around the oscillator, which traders can backtest or observe without reading code.
Key Term Definitions
• Pullback : A short-term dip or consolidation in an uptrend. In this script, a Pullback Buy appears when price is generally rising but shows a brief retracement. (As defined by Investopedia, a pullback is “a brief decline or pause in a generally upward price trend”.)
• Early Buy/Sell : An initial or tentative entry signal. It means the oscillator first starts turning positive (or negative) before a full trend has developed. It’s an early indication that a trend might be starting.
• Strong Buy/Sell : A confident entry signal when multiple conditions align. This label is used when momentum is already strong and confirmed by trend/volume filters, offering a higher-probability trade.
• Momentum Peak : The point where bullish (or bearish) momentum reaches its maximum before weakening. When the oscillator value stops rising (or falling) and begins to reverse, the script flags it as a peak – signaling that the current move could be overextended.
What is the Flux MA?
The Flux MA (Moving Average) is an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) applied to a normalized oscillator, referred to as FM . Its purpose is to smooth out the fluctuations of the oscillator, providing a clearer picture of the underlying trend direction and strength. Think of it as a dynamic baseline that the oscillator moves above or below, helping you determine whether the market is trending bullish or bearish.
How it’s calculated (Flux MA):
1.The oscillator is normalized (scaled to a range, typically between 0 and 1, using a default scale factor of 100.0).
2.An EMA is applied to this normalized value (FM) over a user-defined period (default is 10 periods).
3.The result is rescaled back to the oscillator’s original range for plotting.
Why it matters : The Flux MA acts like a support or resistance level for the oscillator, making it easier to spot trend shifts.
Color of the Flux Candle
The Quantum Flux Candle visualizes the normalized oscillator (FM) as candlesticks, with colors that indicate specific market conditions based on the relationship between the FM and the Flux MA. Here’s what each color means:
• Green : The FM is above the Flux MA, signaling bullish momentum. This suggests the market is trending upward.
• Red : The FM is below the Flux MA, signaling bearish momentum. This suggests the market is trending downward.
• Yellow : Indicates strong buy conditions (e.g., a "Strong Buy" signal combined with a positive trend). This is a high-confidence signal to go long.
• Purple : Indicates strong sell conditions (e.g., a "Strong Sell" signal combined with a negative trend). This is a high-confidence signal to go short.
The candle mode shows the oscillator’s open, high, low, and close values for each period, similar to price candlesticks, but it’s the color that provides the quick visual cue for trading decisions.
How to Trade the Flux MA with Respect to the Candle
Trading with the Flux MA and Quantum Flux Candle involves using the MA as a trend indicator and the candle colors as entry and exit signals. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Identify the Trend Direction
• Bullish Trend : The Flux Candle is green and positioned above the Flux MA. This indicates upward momentum.
• Bearish Trend : The Flux Candle is red and positioned below the Flux MA. This indicates downward momentum.
The Flux MA serves as the reference line—candles above it suggest buying pressure, while candles below it suggest selling pressure.
2. Interpret Candle Colors for Trade Signals
• Green Candle : General bullish momentum. Consider entering or holding a long position.
• Red Candle : General bearish momentum. Consider entering or holding a short position.
• Yellow Candle : A strong buy signal. This is an ideal time to enter a long trade.
• Purple Candle : A strong sell signal. This is an ideal time to enter a short trade.
3. Enter Trades Based on Crossovers and Colors
• Long Entry : Enter a buy position when the Flux Candle turns green and crosses above the Flux MA. If it turns yellow, this is an even stronger signal to go long.
• Short Entry : Enter a sell position when the Flux Candle turns red and crosses below the Flux MA. If it turns purple, this is an even stronger signal to go short.
4. Exit Trades
• Exit Long : Close your buy position when the Flux Candle turns red or crosses below the Flux MA, indicating the bullish trend may be reversing.
• Exit Short : Close your sell position when the Flux Candle turns green or crosses above the Flux MA, indicating the bearish trend may be reversing.
•You might also exit a long trade if the candle changes from yellow to green (weakening strong buy signal) or a short trade from purple to red (weakening strong sell signal).
5. Use Additional Confirmation
To avoid false signals, combine the Flux MA and candle signals with other indicators or dashboard metrics (e.g., trend strength, momentum, or volume pressure). For example:
•A yellow candle with a " Strong Bullish " trend and high buying volume is a robust long signal.
•A red candle with a " Moderate Bearish " trend and neutral momentum might need more confirmation before shorting.
Practical Example
Imagine you’re scalping a cryptocurrency:
• Long Trade : The Flux Candle turns yellow and is above the Flux MA, with the dashboard showing "Strong Buy" and high buying volume. You enter a long position. You exit when the candle turns red and dips below the Flux MA.
• Short Trade : The Flux Candle turns purple and crosses below the Flux MA, with a "Strong Sell" signal on the dashboard. You enter a short position. You exit when the candle turns green and crosses above the Flux MA.
Market Presets and Adaptation
This indicator is designed to work on any market with candlestick price data (stocks, crypto, forex, indices, etc.). To handle different behavior, it provides presets for major asset classes. Selecting a “Stocks,” “Crypto,” “Forex,” or “Options” preset automatically loads a set of parameter values optimized for that market . For example, a crypto preset might use a shorter lookback or higher sensitivity to account for crypto’s high volatility, while a stocks preset might use slightly longer smoothing since stocks often trend more slowly. In practice, this means the same core QFC logic applies across markets, but the thresholds and smoothing adjust so signals remain relevant for each asset type.
Usage Guidelines
• Recommended Timeframes : Optimized for 1 minute to 15 minute intraday charts. Can also be used on higher timeframes for short term swings.
• Market Types : Select “Crypto,” “Stocks,” “Forex,” or “Options” to auto tune periods, thresholds and weights. Use “Custom” to manually adjust all inputs.
• Interpreting Signals : Always confirm a signal by checking that trend, volume, and VWAP agree on the dashboard. A green “Strong Buy” arrow with green trend, green volume, and price > VWAP is highest probability.
• Adjusting Sensitivity : To reduce false signals in fast markets, enable DI Reversal Confirmation and Dynamic Thresholds. For more frequent entries in trending environments, enable Early Entry Trigger.
• Risk Management : This tool does not plot stop loss or take profit levels. Users should define their own risk parameters based on support/resistance or volatility bands.
Background Shading
To give you an at-a-glance sense of market regime without reading numbers, the indicator automatically tints the chart background in three modes—neutral, bullish and bearish—with two levels of intensity (light vs. dark):
Neutral (Gray)
When ADX is below 20 the market is considered “no trend” or too weak to trade. The background fills with a light gray (high transparency) so you know to sit on your hands.
Bullish (Green)
As soon as ADX rises above 20 and +DI exceeds –DI, the background turns a semi-transparent green, signaling an emerging uptrend. When ADX climbs above 30 (strong trend), the green becomes more opaque—reminding you that trend-following signals (Strong Buy, Pullback) carry extra weight.
Bearish (Red)
Similarly, if –DI exceeds +DI with ADX >20, you get a light red tint for a developing downtrend, and a darker, more solid red once ADX surpasses 30.
By dynamically varying both hue (green vs. red vs. gray) and opacity (light vs. dark), the background instantly communicates trend strength and direction—so you always know whether to favor breakout-style entries (in a strong trend) or stay flat during choppy, low-ADX conditions.

Why EMA Isn't What You Think It IsMany new traders adopt the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) believing it's simply a "better Simple Moving Average (SMA)". This common misconception leads to fundamental misunderstandings about how EMA works and when to use it.
EMA and SMA differ at their core. SMA use a window of finite number of data points, giving equal weight to each data point in the calculation period. This makes SMA a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter in signal processing terms. Remember that FIR means that "all that we need is the 'period' number of data points" to calculate the filter value. Anything beyond the given period is not relevant to FIR filters – much like how a security camera with 14-day storage automatically overwrites older footage, making last month's activity completely invisible regardless of how important it might have been.
EMA, however, is an Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter. It uses ALL historical data, with each past price having a diminishing - but never zero - influence on the calculated value. This creates an EMA response that extends infinitely into the past—not just for the last N periods. IIR filters cannot be precise if we give them only a 'period' number of data to work on - they will be off-target significantly due to lack of context, like trying to understand Game of Thrones by watching only the final season and wondering why everyone's so upset about that dragon lady going full pyromaniac.
If we only consider a number of data points equal to the EMA's period, we are capturing no more than 86.5% of the total weight of the EMA calculation. Relying on he period window alone (the warm-up period) will provide only 1 - (1 / e^2) weights, which is approximately 1−0.1353 = 0.8647 = 86.5%. That's like claiming you've read a book when you've skipped the first few chapters – technically, you got most of it, but you probably miss some crucial early context.
▶️ What is period in EMA used for?
What does a period parameter really mean for EMA? When we select a 15-period EMA, we're not selecting a window of 15 data points as with an SMA. Instead, we are using that number to calculate a decay factor (α) that determines how quickly older data loses influence in EMA result. Every trader knows EMA calculation: α = 1 / (1+period) – or at least every trader claims to know this while secretly checking the formula when they need it.
Thinking in terms of "period" seriously restricts EMA. The α parameter can be - should be! - any value between 0.0 and 1.0, offering infinite tuning possibilities of the indicator. When we limit ourselves to whole-number periods that we use in FIR indicators, we can only access a small subset of possible IIR calculations – it's like having access to the entire RGB color spectrum with 16.7 million possible colors but stubbornly sticking to the 8 basic crayons in a child's first art set because the coloring book only mentioned those by name.
For example:
Period 10 → alpha = 0.1818
Period 11 → alpha = 0.1667
What about wanting an alpha of 0.17, which might yield superior returns in your strategy that uses EMA? No whole-number period can provide this! Direct α parameterization offers more precision, much like how an analog tuner lets you find the perfect radio frequency while digital presets force you to choose only from predetermined stations, potentially missing the clearest signal sitting right between channels.
Sidenote: the choice of α = 1 / (1+period) is just a convention from 1970s, probably started by J. Welles Wilder, who popularized the use of the 14-day EMA. It was designed to create an approximate equivalence between EMA and SMA over the same number of periods, even thought SMA needs a period window (as it is FIR filter) and EMA doesn't. In reality, the decay factor α in EMA should be allowed any valye between 0.0 and 1.0, not just some discrete values derived from an integer-based period! Algorithmic systems should find the best α decay for EMA directly, allowing the system to fine-tune at will and not through conversion of integer period to float α decay – though this might put a few traditionalist traders into early retirement. Well, to prevent that, most traditionalist implementations of EMA only use period and no alpha at all. Heaven forbid we disturb people who print their charts on paper, draw trendlines with rulers, and insist the market "feels different" since computers do algotrading!
▶️ Calculating EMAs Efficiently
The standard textbook formula for EMA is:
EMA = CurrentPrice × alpha + PreviousEMA × (1 - alpha)
But did you know that a more efficient version exists, once you apply a tiny bit of high school algebra:
EMA = alpha × (CurrentPrice - PreviousEMA) + PreviousEMA
The first one requires three operations: 2 multiplications + 1 addition. The second one also requires three ops: 1 multiplication + 1 addition + 1 subtraction.
That's pathetic, you say? Not worth implementing? In most computational models, multiplications cost much more than additions/subtractions – much like how ordering dessert costs more than asking for a water refill at restaurants.
Relative CPU cost of float operations :
Addition/Subtraction: ~1 cycle
Multiplication: ~5 cycles (depending on precision and architecture)
Now you see the difference? 2 * 5 + 1 = 11 against 5 + 1 + 1 = 7. That is ≈ 36.36% efficiency gain just by swapping formulas around! And making your high school math teacher proud enough to finally put your test on the refrigerator.
▶️ The Warmup Problem: how to start the EMA sequence right
How do we calculate the first EMA value when there's no previous EMA available? Let's see some possible options used throughout the history:
Start with zero : EMA(0) = 0. This creates stupidly large distortion until enough bars pass for the horrible effect to diminish – like starting a trading account with zero balance but backdating a year of missed trades, then watching your balance struggle to climb out of a phantom debt for months.
Start with first price : EMA(0) = first price. This is better than starting with zero, but still causes initial distortion that will be extra-bad if the first price is an outlier – like forming your entire opinion of a stock based solely on its IPO day price, then wondering why your model is tanking for weeks afterward.
Use SMA for warmup : This is the tradition from the pencil-and-paper era of technical analysis – when calculators were luxury items and "algorithmic trading" meant your broker had neat handwriting. We first calculate an SMA over the initial period, then kickstart the EMA with this average value. It's widely used due to tradition, not merit, creating a mathematical Frankenstein that uses an FIR filter (SMA) during the initial period before abruptly switching to an IIR filter (EMA). This methodology is so aesthetically offensive (abrupt kink on the transition from SMA to EMA) that charting platforms hide these early values entirely, pretending EMA simply doesn't exist until the warmup period passes – the technical analysis equivalent of sweeping dust under the rug.
Use WMA for warmup : This one was never popular because it is harder to calculate with a pencil - compared to using simple SMA for warmup. Weighted Moving Average provides a much better approximation of a starting value as its linear descending profile is much closer to the EMA's decay profile.
These methods all share one problem: they produce inaccurate initial values that traders often hide or discard, much like how hedge funds conveniently report awesome performance "since strategy inception" only after their disastrous first quarter has been surgically removed from the track record.
▶️ A Better Way to start EMA: Decaying compensation
Think of it this way: An ideal EMA uses an infinite history of prices, but we only have data starting from a specific point. This creates a problem - our EMA starts with an incorrect assumption that all previous prices were all zero, all close, or all average – like trying to write someone's biography but only having information about their life since last Tuesday.
But there is a better way. It requires more than high school math comprehension and is more computationally intensive, but is mathematically correct and numerically stable. This approach involves compensating calculated EMA values for the "phantom data" that would have existed before our first price point.
Here's how phantom data compensation works:
We start our normal EMA calculation:
EMA_today = EMA_yesterday + α × (Price_today - EMA_yesterday)
But we add a correction factor that adjusts for the missing history:
Correction = 1 at the start
Correction = Correction × (1-α) after each calculation
We then apply this correction:
True_EMA = Raw_EMA / (1-Correction)
This correction factor starts at 1 (full compensation effect) and gets exponentially smaller with each new price bar. After enough data points, the correction becomes so small (i.e., below 0.0000000001) that we can stop applying it as it is no longer relevant.
Let's see how this works in practice:
For the first price bar:
Raw_EMA = 0
Correction = 1
True_EMA = Price (since 0 ÷ (1-1) is undefined, we use the first price)
For the second price bar:
Raw_EMA = α × (Price_2 - 0) + 0 = α × Price_2
Correction = 1 × (1-α) = (1-α)
True_EMA = α × Price_2 ÷ (1-(1-α)) = Price_2
For the third price bar:
Raw_EMA updates using the standard formula
Correction = (1-α) × (1-α) = (1-α)²
True_EMA = Raw_EMA ÷ (1-(1-α)²)
With each new price, the correction factor shrinks exponentially. After about -log₁₀(1e-10)/log₁₀(1-α) bars, the correction becomes negligible, and our EMA calculation matches what we would get if we had infinite historical data.
This approach provides accurate EMA values from the very first calculation. There's no need to use SMA for warmup or discard early values before output converges - EMA is mathematically correct from first value, ready to party without the awkward warmup phase.
Here is Pine Script 6 implementation of EMA that can take alpha parameter directly (or period if desired), returns valid values from the start, is resilient to dirty input values, uses decaying compensator instead of SMA, and uses the least amount of computational cycles possible.
// Enhanced EMA function with proper initialization and efficient calculation
ema(series float source, simple int period=0, simple float alpha=0)=>
// Input validation - one of alpha or period must be provided
if alpha<=0 and period<=0
runtime.error("Alpha or period must be provided")
// Calculate alpha from period if alpha not directly specified
float a = alpha > 0 ? alpha : 2.0 / math.max(period, 1)
// Initialize variables for EMA calculation
var float ema = na // Stores raw EMA value
var float result = na // Stores final corrected EMA
var float e = 1.0 // Decay compensation factor
var bool warmup = true // Flag for warmup phase
if not na(source)
if na(ema)
// First value case - initialize EMA to zero
// (we'll correct this immediately with the compensation)
ema := 0
result := source
else
// Standard EMA calculation (optimized formula)
ema := a * (source - ema) + ema
if warmup
// During warmup phase, apply decay compensation
e *= (1-a) // Update decay factor
float c = 1.0 / (1.0 - e) // Calculate correction multiplier
result := c * ema // Apply correction
// Stop warmup phase when correction becomes negligible
if e <= 1e-10
warmup := false
else
// After warmup, EMA operates without correction
result := ema
result // Return the properly compensated EMA value
▶️ CONCLUSION
EMA isn't just a "better SMA"—it is a fundamentally different tool, like how a submarine differs from a sailboat – both float, but the similarities end there. EMA responds to inputs differently, weighs historical data differently, and requires different initialization techniques.
By understanding these differences, traders can make more informed decisions about when and how to use EMA in trading strategies. And as EMA is embedded in so many other complex and compound indicators and strategies, if system uses tainted and inferior EMA calculatiomn, it is doing a disservice to all derivative indicators too – like building a skyscraper on a foundation of Jell-O.
The next time you add an EMA to your chart, remember: you're not just looking at a "faster moving average." You're using an INFINITE IMPULSE RESPONSE filter that carries the echo of all previous price actions, properly weighted to help make better trading decisions.
EMA done right might significantly improve the quality of all signals, strategies, and trades that rely on EMA somewhere deep in its algorithmic bowels – proving once again that math skills are indeed useful after high school, no matter what your guidance counselor told you.
ATR Strength Index~~~~~~~ATRRSI~~~~~~~~~
Understanding the ATR Strength IndexThe "ATR Strength Index" (ATR SI) is a custom technical indicator derived by applying the calculation methodology of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to the values of the Average True Range (ATR).
While the standard RSI measures the momentum of price changes, the ATR SI measures the momentum of volatility itself, as represented by the ATR.It is important to note that this is not a standard, widely recognised indicator like the traditional RSI or ATR.
It's a custom construction designed to provide a different perspective on market dynamics – specifically, the speed and magnitude of changes in volatility.
How it is Calculated
The calculation of the ATR Strength Index follows the same steps as the standard RSI, but the input data is the ATR value for each period, rather than the price.Let ATRi be the Average True Range value for the current period i.Let ATRi−1 be the Average True Range value for the previous period i−1.Calculate the period-over-period change in ATR:ΔATRi=ATRi−ATRi−1Separate ATR Gains and ATR Losses:If ΔATRi>0, then ATR,Gaini=ΔATRi and ATR,Lossi=0.If ΔATRi<0, then ATR,Gaini=0 and ATR,Lossi=∣ΔATRi∣.If ΔATRi=0, then ATR,Gaini=0 and ATR,Lossi=0.Calculate the Smoothed Average ATR Gain and Average ATR Loss over a specified lookback period (let's call this the "RSI Length" or n).
This typically uses a smoothing method similar to Wilder's original RSI calculation (a modified moving average or exponential moving average).Average,ATR,Gainn=Smoothed Average of ATR,Gain over n periodsAverage,ATR,Lossn=Smoothed Average of ATR,Loss over n periodsCalculate the ATR Relative Strength (ATR RS):ATR,RSn=Average,ATR,LossnAverage,ATR,GainnCalculate the ATR Strength Index:ATR,SIn=100−1+ATR,RSn100The resulting index oscillates between 0 and 100, just like the standard RSI.
How to Use It
Interpreting the ATR Strength Index focuses on the momentum of volatility rather than price momentum:High Values (e.g., above 70): Indicate that volatility (as measured by ATR) has been increasing rapidly over the chosen period.
This could suggest a market transitioning from a period of low volatility to high volatility, potentially preceding or accompanying strong directional price moves or increased choppiness.Low Values (e.g., below 30): Indicate that volatility has been decreasing rapidly.
This could suggest a market transitioning from high volatility to low volatility, potentially entering a period of consolidation or ranging price action.Midline (50): Represents a balance between increasing and decreasing volatility momentum.Divergence: You could potentially look for divergence between the ATR value itself and the ATR Strength Index. For example, if ATR is making higher highs but the ATR SI is making lower highs, it might suggest that while volatility is still increasing, the speed of that increase is slowing down. The interpretation and reliability of such divergence would need careful testing.
This indicator is best used as a supplementary tool to gain insight into the underlying volatility dynamics of the market, rather than as a primary signal generator for price direction.
It can help in understanding the current market environment – whether volatility is picking up or dying down – which can inform the suitability of different trading strategies (e.g., trend-following strategies might be more effective when volatility momentum is high, while range-bound strategies might suit periods of low volatility momentum).
Uniqueness
The ATR Strength Index is unique because it applies a momentum oscillator's logic (RSI) to a volatility indicator's output (ATR).Standard RSI: Focuses on the directional force of price movements.Standard ATR: Measures the amount of volatility, regardless of direction.ATR Strength Index: Measures the speed and direction of change in volatility.
It provides a perspective that neither the standard RSI nor ATR offers on their own – a quantified measure of how quickly the market's choppiness or range is expanding or contracting. This can be valuable for traders who incorporate volatility analysis into their decision-making process.In summary, the ATR Strength Index is a custom indicator that adapts the RSI calculation to measure the momentum of volatility, offering a unique view on market dynamics by showing how rapidly volatility is increasing or decreasing.
Cointegration Buy and Sell Signals [EdgeTerminal]The Cointegration Buy And Sell Signals is a sophisticated technical analysis tool to spot high-probability market turning points — before they fully develop on price charts.
Most reversal indicators rely on raw price action, visual patterns, or basic and common indicator logic — which often suffer in noisy or trending markets. In most cases, they lag behind the actual change in trend and provide useless and late signals.
This indicator is rooted in advanced concepts from statistical arbitrage, mean reversion theory, and quantitative finance, and it packages these ideas in a user-friendly visual format that works on any timeframe and asset class.
It does this by analyzing how the short-term and long-term EMAs behave relative to each other — and uses statistical filters like Z-score, correlation, volatility normalization, and stationarity tests to issue highly selective Buy and Sell signals.
This tool provides statistical confirmation of trend exhaustion, allowing you to trade mean-reverting setups. It fades overextended moves and uses signal stacking to reduce false entries. The entire indicator is based on a very interesting mathematically grounded model which I will get into down below.
Here’s how the indicator works at a high level:
EMAs as Anchors: It starts with two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) — one short-term and one long-term — to track market direction.
Statistical Spread (Regression Residuals): It performs a rolling linear regression between the short and long EMA. Instead of using the raw difference (short - long), it calculates the regression residual, which better models their natural relationship.
Normalize the Spread: The spread is divided by historical price volatility (ATR) to make it scale-invariant. This ensures the indicator works on low-priced stocks, high-priced indices, and crypto alike.
Z-Score: It computes a Z-score of the normalized spread to measure how “extreme” the current deviation is from its historical average.
Dynamic Thresholds: Unlike most tools that use fixed thresholds (like Z = ±2), this one calculates dynamic thresholds using historical percentiles (e.g., top 10% and bottom 10%) so that it adapts to the asset's current behavior to reduce false signals based on market’s extreme volatility at a certain time.
Z-Score Momentum: It tracks the direction of the Z-score — if Z is extreme but still moving away from zero, it's too early. It waits for reversion to start (Z momentum flips).
Correlation Check: Uses a rolling Pearson correlation to confirm the two EMAs are still statistically related. If they diverge (low correlation), no signal is shown.
Stationarity Filter (ADF-like): Uses the volatility of the regression residual to determine if the spread is stationary (mean-reverting) — a key concept in cointegration and statistical arbitrage. It’s not possible to build an exact ADF filter in Pine Script so we used the next best thing.
Signal Control: Prevents noisy charts and overtrading by ensuring no back-to-back buy or sell signals. Each signal must alternate and respect a cooldown period so you won’t be overwhelmed and won’t get a messy chart.
Important Notes to Remember:
The whole idea behind this indicator is to try to use some stat arb models to detect shifting patterns faster than they appear on common indicators, so in some cases, some assumptions are made based on historic values.
This means that in some cases, the indicator can “jump” into the conclusion too quickly. Although we try to eliminate this by using stationary filters, correlation checks, and Z-score momentum detection, there is still a chance some signals that are generated can be too early, in the stock market, that's the same as being incorrect. So make sure to use this with other indicators to confirm the movement.
How To Use The Indicator:
You can use the indicator as a standalone reversal system, as a filter for overbought and oversold setups, in combination with other trend indicators and as a part of a signal stack with other common indicators for divergence spotting and fade trades.
The indicator produces simple buy and sell signals when all criteria is met. Based on our own testing, we recommend treating these signals as standalone and independent from each other . Meaning that if you take position after a buy signal, don’t wait for a sell signal to appear to exit the trade and vice versa.
This is why we recommend using this indicator with other advanced or even simple indicators as an early confirmation tool.
The Display Table:
The floating diagnostic table in the top-right corner of the chart is a key part of this indicator. It's a live statistical dashboard that helps you understand why a signal is (or isn’t) being triggered, and whether the market conditions are lining up for a potential reversal.
1. Z-Score
What it shows: The current Z-score value of the volatility-normalized spread between the short EMA and the regression line of the long EMA.
Why it matters: Z-score tells you how statistically extreme the current relationship is. A Z-score of:
0 = perfectly average
> +2 = very overbought
< -2 = very oversold
How to use it: Look for Z-score reaching extreme highs or lows (beyond dynamic thresholds). Watch for it to start reversing direction, especially when paired with green table rows (see below)
2. Z-Score Momentum
What it shows: The rate of change (ROC) of the Z-score:
Zmomentum=Zt − Zt − 1
Why it matters: This tells you if the Z-score is still stretching out (e.g., getting more overbought/oversold), or reverting back toward the mean.
How to use it: A positive Z-momentum after a very low Z-score = potential bullish reversal A negative Z-momentum after a very high Z-score = potential bearish reversal. Avoid signals when momentum is still pushing deeper into extremes
3. Correlation
What it shows: The rolling Pearson correlation coefficient between the short EMA and long EMA.
Why it matters: High correlation (closer to +1) means the EMAs are still statistically connected — a key requirement for cointegration or mean reversion to be valid.
How to use it: Look for correlation > 0.7 for reliable signals. If correlation drops below 0.5, ignore the Z-score — the EMAs aren’t moving together anymore
4. Stationary
What it shows: A simplified "Yes" or "No" answer to the question:
“Is the spread statistically stable (stationary) and mean-reverting right now?”
Why it matters: Mean reversion strategies only work when the spread is stationary — that is, when the distance between EMAs behaves like a rubber band, not a drifting cloud.
How to use it: A "Yes" means the indicator sees a consistent, stable spread — good for trading. "No" means the market is too volatile, disjointed, or chaotic for reliable mean reversion. Wait for this to flip to "Yes" before trusting signals
5. Last Signal
What it shows: The last signal issued by the system — either "Buy", "Sell", or "None"
Why it matters: Helps avoid confusion and repeated entries. Signals only alternate — you won’t get another Buy until a Sell happens, and vice versa.
How to use it: If the last signal was a "Buy", and you’re watching for a Sell, don’t act on more bullish signals. Great for systems where you only want one position open at a time
6. Bars Since Signal
What it shows: How many bars (candles) have passed since the last Buy or Sell signal.
Why it matters: Gives you context for how long the current condition has persisted
How to use it: If it says 1 or 2, a signal just happened — avoid jumping in late. If it’s been 10+ bars, a new opportunity might be brewing soon. You can use this to time exits if you want to fade a recent signal manually
Indicator Settings:
Short EMA: Sets the short-term EMA period. The smaller the number, the more reactive and more signals you get.
Long EMA: Sets the slow EMA period. The larger this number is, the smoother baseline, and more reliable trend bases are generated.
Z-Score Lookback: The period or bars used for mean & std deviation of spread between short and long EMAs. Larger values result in smoother signals with fewer false positives.
Volatility Window: This value normalizes the spread by historical volatility. This allows you to prevent scale distortion, showing you a cleaner and better chart.
Correlation Lookback: How many periods or how far back to test correlation between slow and long EMAs. This filters out false positives when EMAs lose alignment.
Hurst Lookback: The multiplier to approximate stationarity. Lower leads to more sensitivity to regime change, higher produces a more stricter filtering.
Z Threshold Percentile: This value sets how extreme Z-score must be to trigger a signal. For example, 90 equals only top/bottom 10% of extremes, 80 = more frequent.
Min Bars Between Signals: This hard stop prevents back-to-back signals. The idea is to avoid over-trading or whipsaws in volatile markets even when Hurst lookback and volatility window values are not enough to filter signals.
Some More Recommendations:
We recommend trying different EMA pairs (10/50, 21/100, 5/20) for different asset behaviors. You can set percentile to 85 or 80 if you want more frequent but looser signals. You can also use the Z-score reversion monitor for powerful confirmation.

MTF Moving Averages (only EMA)MTF Moving Averages (only EMA)
This script provides a Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Exponential Moving Average (EMA) indicator for traders to visualize multiple EMAs across different timeframes directly on a single chart.
The indicator dynamically calculates and plots up to four EMAs per timeframe (15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, and Daily) with user-defined lengths, offering valuable insight into price trends and potential entry or exit points.
Key Features:
Multiple Timeframe Support: The script allows you to view EMAs from different timeframes simultaneously. This is especially useful for traders who follow trends across different timeframes to make more informed decisions.
Customizable Lengths: For each timeframe, the lengths of the EMAs are fully customizable. You can adjust the length of up to four EMAs per timeframe to suit your strategy.
EMA Calculation: The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is used, which gives more weight to recent prices and reacts faster to price changes compared to the simple moving average (SMA).
Timeframe Flexibility: The indicator supports the following timeframes:
15-minute: Ideal for short-term traders and scalpers.
30-minute: For intraday trading with a slightly longer perspective.
1-hour: Suitable for swing traders and those who prefer a more medium-term view.
Daily: Great for longer-term trend-following strategies.
Interactive and User-Friendly: You can toggle the visibility of each EMA on each timeframe, allowing you to choose exactly which EMAs you wish to display, depending on your trading strategy.
Color-Coded for Clarity: The script uses distinct colors for each EMA on the chart:
Blue: EMA1
Green: EMA2
Red: EMA3
Purple: EMA4
Line Width Customization: Each plotted EMA line has a customizable width for better visual clarity.
Use Case:
Traders who use multiple timeframes for analysis (e.g., those using the "multi-timeframe analysis" technique) will find this script particularly useful. For example, a trader may look at the 15-minute chart to catch short-term movements, the 30-minute chart for intraday trends, the 1-hour chart for swing positions, and the Daily chart for identifying the overarching market trend. The script enables them to view the EMAs for all these timeframes in one glance without having to manually switch between them.
By observing the relationships between EMAs across multiple timeframes, traders can gain valuable insights into market conditions such as:
Crossovers: When a shorter-term EMA crosses above or below a longer-term EMA, it can signal a potential trend reversal or continuation.
Trend Strength: Multiple EMAs in alignment across different timeframes can indicate strong trend strength.
Support and Resistance: EMAs can act as dynamic support and resistance levels, guiding traders on price action levels to watch for potential price reversals.
Instructions:
Enable/Disable EMAs: Toggle on or off the EMAs for each timeframe (15-min, 30-min, 1-hour, Daily) using the script’s settings.
Adjust EMA Lengths: Change the default lengths for each EMA to match your preferred settings for different timeframes.
Monitor Key Levels: Watch how price interacts with the plotted EMAs to spot potential trading signals based on your strategy.
This indicator is designed to enhance your multi-timeframe analysis and help make more informed, data-driven trading decisions.
Jumbalika BandsThis indicator is designed using several common technical analysis tools: Bollinger Bands, Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), and the Parabolic SAR. I'll walk you through each section to explain how it works and how you can use it:
1. Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands are used to measure volatility and overbought/oversold conditions. It consists of three lines:
Basis (Middle Line): A simple moving average (SMA) of the price over a defined period (in this case, 20 periods).
Upper Band: The basis plus a certain number of standard deviations. It represents the upper boundary of expected price movement.
Lower Band: The basis minus the same number of standard deviations. It represents the lower boundary of expected price movement.
Interpretation:
Overbought: If the price moves above the upper band, it could signal that the asset is overbought.
Oversold: If the price moves below the lower band, it could signal that the asset is oversold.
Volatility: A wider band indicates higher volatility, and a narrower band indicates lower volatility.
2. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs)
The indicator plots four different EMAs:
9-period EMA: This is a short-term trend indicator.
20-period EMA on Close: This is another medium-term trend indicator, based on the close price.
20-period EMA on High: A variation of the 20-period EMA, but based on the high prices.
20-period EMA on Low: A variation of the 20-period EMA, but based on the low prices.
Interpretation:
9 EMA: A faster-moving average that responds quicker to price changes. It can be used to identify short-term trends.
20 EMA: A slower-moving average that reacts more gradually to price changes. It helps identify the broader trend.
High/Low EMAs: These give additional insights into the extremes of price action, which can help identify possible support or resistance levels.
Trading signals (common usage):
Crossover: When a shorter EMA (like the 9 EMA) crosses above a longer EMA (like the 20 EMA), it could be a bullish signal. When it crosses below, it could be a bearish signal.
3. Parabolic SAR
The Parabolic SAR is a trend-following indicator that is used to identify potential price reversals. The Parabolic SAR is plotted as a series of dots either above or below the price, depending on the trend:
Below the price: The trend is up (bullish).
Above the price: The trend is down (bearish)
4. Background Coloring (Optional)
The background will change color when the price crosses the Bollinger Bands:
Green background when the price is above the upper Bollinger Band.
Red background when the price is below the lower Bollinger Band.
Adjust the values for Bollinger Bands, EMAs, and Parabolic SAR directly in the indicator settings to suit your trading preferences.
Bollinger Bands: If the price is above the upper band, it might indicate an overbought condition, while if it's below the lower band, it might indicate an oversold condition.
EMAs: The 9 EMA is often used to track short-term trends, while the 20-period EMAs (on the close, high, and low) help analyze the broader market trend.
Parabolic SAR: The Parabolic SAR is often used to identify trend reversals. If the SAR is below the price, the trend is up, and if it's above the price, the trend is down.
Background Color: The background coloring helps visually highlight potential market conditions when the price breaks out of the Bollinger Bands.
Example Use Case:
Decide the trend based on the parabolic SAR, when the bar touches the upper or lower Bollinger take a short or long position based on the price action using EMAs.

Buy Signal Forex & Crypto v0 ImprovedPurpose of the Script:
This script is designed to generate buy and sell signals for trading Forex and cryptocurrencies by analyzing price trends using exponential moving averages (EMAs), volatility, and volume filters. The signals are displayed as arrows on the chart.
What the Script Does
Input Settings:
The script allows the user to configure various settings, such as the lengths of EMAs, a higher timeframe for trend confirmation, and thresholds for volume and volatility (ATR - Average True Range).
Key settings:
5 EMA Length – Length of the short-term EMA.
13 EMA Length – Length of the medium-term EMA.
26 EMA Length – Length of the long-term EMA.
21 EMA Length – Used for trend confirmation on a higher timeframe.
Higher Timeframe – Lets you select a timeframe (e.g., daily) for confirming the overall trend.
ATR Threshold – Filters out signals when the market's volatility is too low.
Volume Filter – Ensures sufficient trading activity before generating signals.
Calculating EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages):
Four EMAs are calculated:
ema5 (short-term), ema13 (medium-term), ema26 (long-term), and ema21 (higher timeframe confirmation).
These EMAs help determine price trends and crossovers, which are critical for identifying buy and sell opportunities.
Trend Confirmation Using a Higher Timeframe:
The 21 EMA on the higher timeframe (e.g., daily) is used to confirm the overall direction of the market.
Defining Signal Conditions:
Buy Signal:
A buy signal is generated when:
ema5 crosses above ema13 (indicating a bullish trend).
ema5 crosses above ema26 (stronger bullish confirmation).
The closing price is above ema5, ema13, ema26, and the 21 EMA on the higher timeframe.
The market's volatility (ATR) is above the defined threshold.
The volume meets the conditions or volume filtering is disabled.
Sell Signal:
A sell signal is generated when:
ema5 crosses below ema13 (indicating a bearish trend).
ema5 crosses below ema26 (stronger bearish confirmation).
The closing price is below ema5, ema13, ema26, and the 21 EMA on the higher timeframe.
The market's volatility (ATR) is above the defined threshold.
The volume meets the conditions or volume filtering is disabled.
Volume Filtering:
Ensures there’s enough trading activity by comparing the current volume to a 20-period moving average of volume.
Persistent Variables:
These variables (crossed13 and crossed13Sell) help track whether the short-term EMA (ema5) has crossed the medium-term EMA (ema13). This prevents false or repeated signals.
Displaying Signals on the Chart:

Supertrend with EMAs (288 & 50)This indicator combines the Supertrend with two key Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) — the 50 EMA and the 288 EMA — to help traders identify trends and possible entry or exit points in the market.
Key Features:
Supertrend Indicator:
The Supertrend indicator is a widely used trend-following tool. It helps determine whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend by adjusting based on the Average True Range (ATR).
In this indicator, green represents an uptrend, and red represents a downtrend.
288 EMA:
The 288-period Exponential Moving Average is plotted to show the long-term market trend. It reacts more quickly to recent price changes than a simple moving average, offering an effective way to gauge long-term market direction.
50 EMA:
The 50-period Exponential Moving Average is commonly used as a short-term trend indicator. It helps identify shorter-term trends and serves as a dynamic support/resistance level.
EMA Crossover Alerts:
This indicator includes alerts for when the 50 EMA crosses above the 288 EMA (bullish signal) and when it crosses below (bearish signal), helping traders catch trend reversals or confirmation of current trends.
Supertrend Alerts:
Alerts are triggered when the Supertrend indicator switches from uptrend to downtrend or downtrend to uptrend, indicating a potential shift in market direction.
Usage:
Uptrend Confirmation: When the Supertrend is green and the 50 EMA is above the 288 EMA, it signals that the market is in a strong bullish trend.
Downtrend Confirmation: When the Supertrend is red and the 50 EMA is below the 288 EMA, it indicates that the market is in a bearish trend.
Crossover Signals: The indicator provides alerts when the 50 EMA crosses above or below the 288 EMA, helping traders spot trend changes.
Best For:
Trend-following strategies

MACD Pseudo Super Smoother [MACDPSS]The MACD Pseudo Super Smoother (MACDPSS) is a variation of the classic Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator. It utilizes the Pseudo Super Smoother (PSS) filter, a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter, to smooth both the MACD line and the signal line, providing a potentially refined representation of momentum compared to the traditional MACD which typically uses Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs).
The PSS, inspired by the Super Smoother filter (an Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter), aims to reduce noise while minimizing lag. The MACDPSS leverages this FIR implementation to create a unique MACD variant. The core concept of MACD, which involves analyzing the relationship between two moving averages of different lengths to identify momentum shifts, remains intact.
Filter Types and Customization
The MACDPSS offers independent control over the smoothing applied to the MACD line and the signal line through two "Filter Style" inputs:
Oscillator MA Type: This setting determines the filter type used to calculate the fast and slow moving averages that form the basis of the MACD line.
Signal Line MA Type: This setting controls the filter type used to smooth the MACD line, generating the signal line.
Each of these settings allows a choice between two distinct PSS filter types:
Type 1: Provides a smoother output with a more gradual response, characterized by greater attenuation of high-frequency components.
Type 2: Exhibits increased reactivity, allowing for a faster response to shifts in momentum, but with a potential for overshoot.
This dual-filter approach provides flexibility in tailoring the indicator's responsiveness and smoothness to individual preferences and specific market conditions. The user can, for example, choose a smoother Type 1 filter for the MACD line and a more reactive Type 2 filter for the signal line, or vice-versa.
Calculations
The MACDPSS calculates the MACD line by subtracting the slow moving average from the fast moving average, both derived using the PSS filter with the selected "Oscillator MA Type." The signal line is then calculated by applying the PSS filter with the selected "Signal Line MA Type" to the MACD line. The histogram represents the difference between the MACD line and the signal line.
Interpretation
The interpretation of the MACDPSS is similar to the standard MACD. Crossovers between the MACD line and the signal line, the position of the MACD line relative to the zero line, and the slope and direction of the histogram are all used to gauge momentum and potential trend changes.
Disclaimer
The MACDPSS, while inspired by the Super Smoother, utilizes a distinct FIR approximation (the PSS). Therefore, its behavior will not perfectly mirror that of a MACD calculated using IIR filters. The PSS is designed to be a rough approximation. This indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, and users should be aware of the inherent differences between FIR and IIR filter characteristics when interpreting the indicator's signals. Like any moving average based indicator, the MACDPSS is a lagging indicator, although it tries to improve it. The novelty of this indicator comes from applying a unique FIR filter to a classic momentum oscillator in a configurable way.

The script is minimalistic, with an uncluttered interface, providing the user with only the most relevant information for making trading decisions.
Refined SMA/EMA Crossover with Ichimoku and 200 SMA FilterYour **Refined SMA/EMA Crossover with Ichimoku and 200 SMA Filter** strategy is a multi-faceted technical trading strategy that combines several key technical indicators to refine entry and exit points for trades. Here's a breakdown of the components and how they work together:
### 1. **SMA/EMA Crossover**
- **Simple Moving Average (SMA) & Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Crossover**:
- The core idea behind the crossover strategy is to use the relationship between two moving averages to generate buy or sell signals.
- **SMA** (Simple Moving Average) gives an average of past prices over a set period.
- **EMA** (Exponential Moving Average) places more weight on recent prices, making it more responsive to price movements.
- A **bullish crossover** occurs when a shorter period moving average (such as a 50-period EMA) crosses above a longer period moving average (such as a 200-period SMA), signaling a potential buy.
- A **bearish crossover** occurs when a shorter period moving average crosses below the longer period moving average, signaling a potential sell.
### 2. **Ichimoku Cloud**
- The **Ichimoku Cloud** is a versatile indicator that provides insight into trend direction, support and resistance levels, and momentum.
- **Cloud (Kumo)**: The space between the Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B lines. It helps identify whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or consolidation.
- **Tenkan-sen** (Conversion Line) and **Kijun-sen** (Base Line): These lines are used for additional confirmation of trend direction.
- **Chikou Span**: A lagging line that is used to confirm the trend.
- The general trading rules based on the Ichimoku Cloud are:
- **Bullish Signal**: When the price is above the cloud and the Tenkan-sen crosses above the Kijun-sen.
- **Bearish Signal**: When the price is below the cloud and the Tenkan-sen crosses below the Kijun-sen.
### 3. **200 SMA Filter**
- The **200 SMA Filter** serves as a long-term trend filter.
- When the price is **above the 200 SMA**, it signals a long-term bullish trend, and you only look for buying opportunities.
- When the price is **below the 200 SMA**, it signals a long-term bearish trend, and you only look for selling opportunities.
- This filter helps to avoid counter-trend trades, aligning your positions with the broader market trend.
### **How the Strategy Works Together**
- **Trade Setup (Long Position)**
1. The **200 SMA Filter** must confirm an **uptrend** by ensuring that the price is above the 200 SMA.
2. A **bullish crossover** (e.g., the 50 EMA crossing above the 200 SMA) occurs.
3. **Ichimoku Cloud** confirms a bullish trend, with the price above the cloud and the Tenkan-sen crossing above the Kijun-sen.
4. You enter a **long trade** with this confluence of signals.
- **Trade Setup (Short Position)**
1. The **200 SMA Filter** must confirm a **downtrend** by ensuring the price is below the 200 SMA.
2. A **bearish crossover** (e.g., the 50 EMA crossing below the 200 SMA) occurs.
3. **Ichimoku Cloud** confirms a bearish trend, with the price below the cloud and the Tenkan-sen crossing below the Kijun-sen.
4. You enter a **short trade** with this confluence of signals.
### **Exit Strategy**
- Exits can be determined based on any of the following:
- **SMA/EMA crossover reversal**: Exit when the shorter-term moving average crosses back below the longer-term moving average for a long position or crosses above for a short position.
- **Ichimoku Cloud reversal**: If the price breaks through the cloud or the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen lines cross in the opposite direction.
- **Profit target or stop loss**: Setting predefined profit targets or using a trailing stop to lock in profits as the trade moves in your favor.
Summary of the Strategy
This strategy is designed to identify strong trends and avoid false signals by combining:
SMA/EMA crossovers for immediate market direction signals.
Ichimoku Cloud for confirming the strength and trend direction.
A 200
SMA filter to ensure trades align with the long-term trend.
By using these multiple indicators together, the strategy aims to refine entry and exit points, minimize risk, and increase the likelihood of successful trades.
MultiLayer Awesome Oscillator Saucer Strategy [Skyrexio]Overview
MultiLayer Awesome Oscillator Saucer Strategy leverages the combination of Awesome Oscillator (AO), Williams Alligator, Williams Fractals and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to obtain the high probability long setups. Moreover, strategy uses multi trades system, adding funds to long position if it considered that current trend has likely became stronger. Awesome Oscillator is used for creating signals, while Alligator and Fractal are used in conjunction as an approximation of short-term trend to filter them. At the same time EMA (default EMA's period = 100) is used as high probability long-term trend filter to open long trades only if it considers current price action as an uptrend. More information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs. The strategy opens only long trades.
Unique Features
No fixed stop-loss and take profit: Instead of fixed stop-loss level strategy utilizes technical condition obtained by Fractals and Alligator to identify when current uptrend is likely to be over (more information in "Methodology" and "Justification of Methodology" paragraphs)
Configurable Trading Periods: Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Multilayer trades opening system: strategy uses only 10% of capital in every trade and open up to 5 trades at the same time if script consider current trend as strong one.
Short and long term trend trade filters: strategy uses EMA as high probability long-term trend filter and Alligator and Fractal combination as a short-term one.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
1. Price closed above EMA (by default, period = 100). Crossover is not obligatory.
2. Combination of Alligator and Williams Fractals shall consider current trend as an upward (all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph)
3. Awesome Oscillator shall create the "Saucer" long signal (all details in "Justification of Methodology" paragraph). Buy stop order is placed one tick above the candle's high of last created "Saucer signal".
4. If price reaches the order price, long position is opened with 10% of capital.
5. If currently we have opened position and price creates and hit the order price of another one "Saucer" signal another one long position will be added to the previous with another one 10% of capital. Strategy allows to open up to 5 long trades simultaneously.
6. If combination of Alligator and Williams Fractals shall consider current trend has been changed from up to downtrend, all long trades will be closed, no matter how many trades has been opened.
Script also has additional visuals. If second long trade has been opened simultaneously the Alligator's teeth line is plotted with the green color. Also for every trade in a row from 2 to 5 the label "Buy More" is also plotted just below the teeth line. With every next simultaneously opened trade the green color of the space between teeth and price became less transparent.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup strategy setting: EMA Length (by default = 100, period of EMA, used for long-term trend filtering EMA calculation). User can choose the optimal parameters during backtesting on certain price chart.
Justification of Methodology
Let's go through all concepts used in this strategy to understand how they works together. Let's start from the easies one, the EMA. Let's briefly explain what is EMA. The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average that gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to current price changes compared to the Simple Moving Average (SMA). It is commonly used in technical analysis to identify trends and generate buy or sell signals. It can be calculated with the following steps:
1.Calculate the Smoothing Multiplier:
Multiplier = 2 / (n + 1), Where n is the number of periods.
2. EMA Calculation
EMA = (Current Price) × Multiplier + (Previous EMA) × (1 − Multiplier)
In this strategy uses EMA an initial long term trend filter. It allows to open long trades only if price close above EMA (by default 50 period). It increases the probability of taking long trades only in the direction of the trend.
Let's go to the next, short-term trend filter which consists of Alligator and Fractals. Let's briefly explain what do these indicators means. The Williams Alligator, developed by Bill Williams, is a technical indicator designed to spot trends and potential market reversals. It uses three smoothed moving averages, referred to as the jaw, teeth, and lips:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest of the three, based on a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars ahead.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, derived from an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, calculated using a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When these lines diverge and are properly aligned, the "alligator" is considered "awake," signaling a strong trend. Conversely, when the lines overlap or intertwine, the "alligator" is "asleep," indicating a range-bound or sideways market. This indicator assists traders in identifying when to act on or avoid trades.
The Williams Fractals, another tool introduced by Bill Williams, are used to pinpoint potential reversal points on a price chart. A fractal forms when there are at least five consecutive bars, with the middle bar displaying the highest high (for an up fractal) or the lowest low (for a down fractal), relative to the two bars on either side.
Key Points:
Up Fractal: Occurs when the middle bar has a higher high than the two preceding and two following bars, suggesting a potential downward reversal.
Down Fractal: Happens when the middle bar shows a lower low than the surrounding two bars, hinting at a possible upward reversal.
Traders often combine fractals with other indicators to confirm trends or reversals, improving the accuracy of trading decisions.
How we use their combination in this strategy? Let’s consider an uptrend example. A breakout above an up fractal can be interpreted as a bullish signal, indicating a high likelihood that an uptrend is beginning. Here's the reasoning: an up fractal represents a potential shift in market behavior. When the fractal forms, it reflects a pullback caused by traders selling, creating a temporary high. However, if the price manages to return to that fractal’s high and break through it, it suggests the market has "changed its mind" and a bullish trend is likely emerging.
The moment of the breakout marks the potential transition to an uptrend. It’s crucial to note that this breakout must occur above the Alligator's teeth line. If it happens below, the breakout isn’t valid, and the downtrend may still persist. The same logic applies inversely for down fractals in a downtrend scenario.
So, if last up fractal breakout was higher, than Alligator's teeth and it happened after last down fractal breakdown below teeth, algorithm considered current trend as an uptrend. During this uptrend long trades can be opened if signal was flashed. If during the uptrend price breaks down the down fractal below teeth line, strategy considered that uptrend is finished with the high probability and strategy closes all current long trades. This combination is used as a short term trend filter increasing the probability of opening profitable long trades in addition to EMA filter, described above.
Now let's talk about Awesome Oscillator's "Sauser" signals. Briefly explain what is the Awesome Oscillator. The Awesome Oscillator (AO), created by Bill Williams, is a momentum-based indicator that evaluates market momentum by comparing recent price activity to a broader historical context. It assists traders in identifying potential trend reversals and gauging trend strength.
AO = SMA5(Median Price) − SMA34(Median Price)
where:
Median Price = (High + Low) / 2
SMA5 = 5-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
SMA 34 = 34-period Simple Moving Average of the Median Price
Now we know what is AO, but what is the "Saucer" signal? This concept was introduced by Bill Williams, let's briefly explain it and how it's used by this strategy. Initially, this type of signal is a combination of the following AO bars: we need 3 bars in a row, the first one shall be higher than the second, the third bar also shall be higher, than second. All three bars shall be above the zero line of AO. The price bar, which corresponds to third "saucer's" bar is our signal bar. Strategy places buy stop order one tick above the price bar which corresponds to signal bar.
After that we can have the following scenarios.
Price hit the order on the next candle in this case strategy opened long with this price.
Price doesn't hit the order price, the next candle set lower low. If current AO bar is increasing buy stop order changes by the script to the high of this new bar plus one tick. This procedure repeats until price finally hit buy order or current AO bar become decreasing. In the second case buy order cancelled and strategy wait for the next "Saucer" signal.
If long trades has been opened strategy use all the next signals until number of trades doesn't exceed 5. All trades are closed when the trend changes to downtrend according to combination of Alligator and Fractals described above.
Why we use "Saucer" signals? If AO above the zero line there is a high probability that price now is in uptrend if we take into account our two trend filters. When we see the decreasing bars on AO and it's above zero it's likely can be considered as a pullback on the uptrend. When we see the stop of AO decreasing and the first increasing bar has been printed there is a high probability that this local pull back is finished and strategy open long trade in the likely direction of a main trend.
Why strategy use only 10% per signal? Sometimes we can see the false signals which appears on sideways. Not risking that much script use only 10% per signal. If the first long trade has been open and price continue going up and our trend approximation by Alligator and Fractals is uptrend, strategy add another one 10% of capital to every next saucer signal while number of active trades no more than 5. This capital allocation allows to take part in long trades when current uptrend is likely to be strong and use only 10% of capital when there is a high probability of sideways.

5. Rounding Values:
A helper function roundDecimal is used to round MACD, Signal, and Histogram values to two decimal places for readability.
6. Color Assignment Based on Value:
The colors of the values in the table cells are dynamically set based on whether the value is positive or negative:
MACD, Signal, and Histogram: The script uses conditional color assignments (green for positive values, red for negative values).
For example, if the MACD value is greater than or equal to 0, it is colored green, otherwise red. The same logic applies to the Signal and Histogram values.
7. Populating the Table:
For each timeframe (tf1 to tf5), the script populates the table with the following data:
Timeframe (e.g., "5 min")
Rounded MACD value
Rounded Signal value
Rounded Histogram value
The respective color is applied to each value based on whether it is positive or negative.
8. Table Update:
The table is updated dynamically with new data on each new bar. Each timeframe’s values are populated into the table starting from row 1 through row 5.
Multifactor Buy/Sell Strategy V2 | RSI, MACD, ATR, EMA, Boll.BITGET:1INCHUSDT
This Pine Script code for TradingView is a multifactor Buy/Sell indicator that combines several technical factors to generate trading signals based on trend, volatility, and volume conditions. Here’s a breakdown of the main components and functionality:
Indicator Name
- Multifactor Buy/Sell Strategy V2 — an overlay indicator applied directly on the price chart.
### Input Parameters
The script includes multiple customizable parameters:
- RSI, EMA, MACD parameters — for setting periods and signals of MACD and RSI.
- ATR and Bollinger Bands — used for volatility analysis and level determination.
- Minimum Volatility Threshold — sets a minimum Bollinger Band width threshold for determining high volatility.
Core Indicators
1. RSI — calculated to identify oversold (below 30) and overbought (above 70) conditions.
2. EMA and MACD — calculates exponential moving averages and MACD histogram to determine trend direction.
3. ATR and Bollinger Bands — used to assess current volatility and establish dynamic upper and lower bands.
Volatility and Volume Analysis
- Determines the current ATR level and Bollinger Band width to evaluate high volatility.
- Calculates the volume moving average to track periods of increased volume during high volatility.
Trend Analysis
The script uses the difference between fast and slow EMAs to define strong trends:
- Uptrend — when the fast EMA is above the slow EMA, the price is above the fast EMA, and the trend is strong.
- Downtrend — when the fast EMA is below the slow EMA, the price is below the fast EMA, and the trend is strong.
Momentum Filter
- Based on the price change over the last three bars and compared against the minimum volatility threshold to identify strong momentum.
Buy and Sell Signal Generation
- Buy Signal: Uptrend with RSI oversold, positive MACD histogram, high volatility and volume, strong momentum, and sufficient Bollinger Band width.
- Sell Signal: Downtrend with RSI overbought, negative MACD histogram, high volatility and volume, strong momentum, and sufficient Bollinger Band width.
Visualization
- Buy and sell signals are displayed as green and red triangles on the chart.
- Plots for fast and slow EMAs, upper and lower bands, and Bollinger Bands.
Alerts
The script includes alert conditions for buy and sell signals, allowing notifications to be sent via email or mobile app.

The Most Powerful TQQQ EMA Crossover Trend Trading StrategyTQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy Indicator
Meta Title: TQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy - Enhance Your Trading with Effective Signals
Meta Description: Discover the TQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy, designed to optimize trading decisions with fast and slow EMA crossovers. Learn how to effectively use this powerful indicator for better trading results.
Key Features
The TQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy is a powerful trading tool that utilizes Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to identify potential entry and exit points in the market. Key features of this indicator include:
**Fast and Slow EMAs:** The strategy incorporates two EMAs, allowing traders to capture short-term trends while filtering out market noise.
**Entry and Exit Signals:** Automated signals for entering and exiting trades based on EMA crossovers, enhancing decision-making efficiency.
**Customizable Parameters:** Users can adjust the lengths of the EMAs, as well as take profit and stop loss multipliers, tailoring the strategy to their trading style.
**Visual Indicators:** Clear visual plots of the EMAs and exit points on the chart for easy interpretation.
How It Works
The TQQQ EMA Crossover Strategy operates by calculating two EMAs: a fast EMA (default length of 20) and a slow EMA (default length of 50). The core concept is based on the crossover of these two moving averages:
- When the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, it generates a *buy signal*, indicating a potential upward trend.
- Conversely, when the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA, it produces a *sell signal*, suggesting a potential downward trend.
This method allows traders to capitalize on momentum shifts in the market, providing timely signals for trade execution.
Trading Ideas and Insights

**Risk Management:** By incorporating customizable stop loss and take profit levels, traders can manage their risk effectively while maximizing potential returns.
How Multiple Indicators Work Together
While this strategy primarily relies on EMAs, it can be enhanced by integrating additional indicators such as:
- **Relative Strength Index (RSI):** To confirm overbought or oversold conditions before entering trades.
- **Volume Indicators:** To validate breakout signals, ensuring that price movements are supported by sufficient trading volume.
Combining these indicators provides a more comprehensive view of market dynamics, increasing the reliability of trade signals generated by the EMA crossover.
