Updated Buy Sell Badge with DMI by Bybllo
Buy Sell Badge with DMI by Bybllo
At its core, this indicator combines two independent Buy/Sell signal sources into one badge system: (1) a basic Fast/Slow EMA crossover ("BSB"), and (2) a DMI-based signal built from the golden cross (DI+ crossing above DI-) and dead cross (DI- crossing above DI+) of the Directional Movement Index, filtered by a minimum ADX threshold.
The EMA crossover generates the base Buy/Sell signal, then automatically manages an ATR-based stop loss and a risk:reward-based take profit for each signal, showing the resulting entry/stop/target levels directly on the chart along with a live status table. The DMI golden-cross / dead-cross engine can be enabled as a confirmation filter on top of that: when turned on, a badge is only shown if a matching DMI cross (with ADX above a configurable threshold) occurs within a set number of bars of the EMA signal. In practice, this acts as a noise-reduction filter — choppy, low-conviction EMA crossovers with no matching directional strength behind them are suppressed, so only badges backed by both a trend-following signal and a directional-strength signal are actually displayed.
Key Features
Fast/Slow EMA crossover generates the base Buy/Sell signal, with an optional candle-confirmation requirement (close beyond open in the signal direction).
Automatic ATR-based stop loss and configurable Risk:Reward take profit are calculated for every new signal, with intermediate take-profit levels plotted when Risk:Reward is greater than 1.
Optional "BSB + DMI" confirmation filter: a badge is only shown when a DMI golden cross or dead cross, confirmed by ADX above your threshold, occurs within a configurable bar window of the EMA signal, in either order. This suppresses noisy, low-conviction EMA crossovers and leaves only the badges that are backed by both signals.
On-chart entry / stop-loss / take-profit lines and an SL distance (in points) label, both toggleable and only shown while a badge has actually been displayed for the active position.
Take-profit, stop-loss, and "invalidated" (opposite signal fired before target/stop was hit) markers are plotted separately so you can see exactly how each trade idea played out.
A live status table (top-right) shows the current position, entry, stop loss, take profit, and realized Risk:Reward.
Real-price calculation via request.security() keeps signals consistent regardless of chart type (Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.).
A full set of alertcondition() calls for BSB-only signals, BSB+DMI confirmed signals, take-profit hits, stop-loss hits, and invalidated entries.
How to Use
Leave "BSB + DMI" unchecked to use the EMA crossover badges on their own (fastest signals, no directional-strength filter).
Check "BSB + DMI" to require that a DMI golden cross (for Buy) or dead cross (for Sell), confirmed by ADX, also occurs near the EMA signal — this filters out noise and typically reduces the number of badges, but favors signals that also have directional strength behind them.
Watch the on-chart entry/SL/TP lines and the status table to track an open idea's risk and progress in real time.
Set up alerts on the "BSB+DMI Buy/Sell", "Buy/Sell Signal", "Take Profit Hit", "Stop Loss Hit", or "Entry Invalidated" conditions depending on which events you want to be notified about.
Notes
The "EMA Badge Spacing" and "DMI Badge Spacing" inputs each apply their own cooldown to prevent duplicate signals firing on consecutive bars; keep the DMI spacing aligned with the badge spacing you use on other DMI-based indicators if you compare them side by side.
Stop-loss and alert-sensitivity offsets are point-based and will need adjusting per instrument (see the tooltips on those inputs).
This indicator does not place real orders; it is a visual / alerting tool for tracking a rules-based EMA + DMI golden-cross/dead-cross trade idea.

Release Notes
Update — Description significantly expanded for clarity.No changes to the calculation logic, default settings, or plot behavior — this update only expands the description with a clearer explanation of why the EMA crossover and DMI confirmation are combined, exactly how the BSB+DMI badge-matching window works in both directions (EMA-first vs DMI-first), a badge color guide, and a disclaimer. If you were already using this indicator, nothing about its output changes.
Release Notes
Update — Added an "ADX Rising" confirmation toggle for the DMI condition.A new toggle, "ADX Rising" (checked by default), has been added under the DMI settings. When checked, a DMI signal (golden cross / dead cross) is only recognized when ADX is at or above the threshold and ADX is higher than on the previous bar — not just directionally confirmed, but confirmed while strength is still building.
This was implemented so that checking the toggle can only ever reduce the number of badges shown, never add new ones elsewhere. The DMI signal's own cooldown timer ("DMI Badge Spacing") always advances based on the threshold-only condition, completely independent of the rising filter — the rising requirement is applied only as an extra filter on top, after the cooldown timing is already fixed. This avoids a subtle issue where filtering out an earlier signal could otherwise "free up" the cooldown and let a later, unrelated crossover slip through as a new badge.
No changes to core position management, stop-loss/take-profit calculation, or badge visuals.
Release Notes
Update — Badge colors switched to US convention.Both badge pairs now use green = buy, red = sell instead of the previous coloring:
Plain BSB badge: BUY changed from orange to green, SELL changed from dark green to orange.
BSB + DMI confirmed badge: BUY changed from red to lime (green), SELL changed from lime to red.
No changes to signal logic, thresholds, cooldown, ADX Rising behavior, or alerts — this is a visual-only update.
