Moving Average Exponential (Daily Frozen EMA)This script plots an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) based on the daily timeframe, but with a unique twist:
✅ The EMA value is frozen for the entire current daily session, only updating when a new daily candle begins.
🔍 How it works:
The EMA is calculated using the 1-day timeframe, regardless of the chart's current timeframe.
This EMA value remains fixed throughout the day — it doesn't fluctuate intrabar.
It updates only once the daily candle has closed, providing a stable and reliable reference point during the trading day.
The default is the 5 day EMA but can be changed to any EMA timeframe you desire such as 9, 21, 50, 100. 200, etc.
✨ Additional Features:
✅ Optional smoothing with various moving average types (SMA, EMA, WMA, SMMA, VWMA).
✅ Optional Bollinger Bands on top of the smoothed EMA.
✅ Adjustable settings for EMA length, smoothing type, Bollinger Band deviation, and display options.
🛠️ Use Cases:
Ideal for traders who want a non-reactive EMA during intraday trading.
Helps reduce signal noise by anchoring EMA to higher timeframe structure.
Useful for strategy development where EMA should represent confirmed daily bias only.
Hope this helps, happy trading! Indicator

XPloRR MA-Trailing-Stop StrategyXPloRR MA-Trailing-Stop Strategy
Long term MA-Trailing-Stop strategy with Adjustable Signal Strength to beat Buy&Hold strategy
None of the strategies that I tested can beat the long term Buy&Hold strategy. That's the reason why I wrote this strategy.
Purpose: beat Buy&Hold strategy with around 10 trades. 100% capitalize sold trade into new trade.
My buy strategy is triggered by the fast buy EMA (blue) crossing over the slow buy SMA curve (orange) and the fast buy EMA has a certain up strength.
My sell strategy is triggered by either one of these conditions:
the EMA(6) of the close value is crossing under the trailing stop value (green) or
the fast sell EMA (navy) is crossing under the slow sell SMA curve (red) and the fast sell EMA has a certain down strength.
The trailing stop value (green) is set to a multiple of the ATR(15) value.
ATR(15) is the SMA(15) value of the difference between the high and low values.
The scripts shows a lot of graphical information:
The close value is shown in light-green. When the close value is lower then the buy value, the close value is shown in light-red. This way it is possible to evaluate the virtual losses during the trade.
the trailing stop value is shown in dark-green. When the sell value is lower then the buy value, the last color of the trade will be red (best viewed when zoomed)(in the example, there are 2 trades that end in gain and 2 in loss (red line at end))
the EMA and SMA values for both buy and sell signals are shown as a line
the buy and sell(close) signals are labeled in blue
How to use this strategy?
Every stock has it's own "DNA", so first thing to do is tune the right parameters to get the best strategy values voor EMA , SMA, Strength for both buy and sell and the Trailing Stop (#ATR).
Look in the strategy tester overview to optimize the values Percent Profitable and Net Profit (using the strategy settings icon, you can increase/decrease the parameters)
Then keep using these parameters for future buy/sell signals only for that particular stock.
Do the same for other stocks.
Important : optimizing these parameters is no guarantee for future winning trades!
Here are the parameters:
Fast EMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 10-20)
Slow SMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 30-100)
Minimum Buy Strength: minimum upward trend value of the Fast SMA Buy value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120)
Fast EMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 10-20)
Slow SMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 30-100)
Minimum Sell Strength: minimum downward trend value of the Fast SMA Sell value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120)
Trailing Stop (#ATR): the trailing stop value as a multiple of the ATR(15) value (use values between 2-20)
Example parameters for different stocks (Start capital: 1000, Order=100% of equity, Period 1/1/2005 to now) compared to the Buy&Hold Strategy(=do nothing):
BEKB(Bekaert): EMA-Buy=12, SMA-Buy=44, Strength-Buy=65, EMA-Sell=12, SMA-Sell=55, Strength-Sell=120, Stop#ATR=20

AAPL(Apple): EMA-Buy=12, SMA-Buy=45, Strength-Buy=40, EMA-Sell=19, SMA-Sell=45, Strength-Sell=106, Stop#ATR=8

TNET(Telenet): EMA-Buy=12, SMA-Buy=45, Strength-Buy=27, EMA-Sell=19, SMA-Sell=45, Strength-Sell=70, Stop#ATR=14

None of the strategies that I tested can beat the long term Buy&Hold strategy. That's the reason why I wrote this strategy.
Purpose: beat Buy&Hold strategy with around 10 trades. 100% capitalize sold trade into new trade.
My buy strategy is triggered by the EMA(blue) crossing over the SMA curve(orange).
My sell strategy is triggered by another EMA(lime) of the close value crossing the trailing stop(green) value.
The trailing stop value(green) is set to a multiple of the ATR(15) value.
ATR(15) is the SMA(15) value of the difference between high and low values.
Every stock has it's own "DNA", so first thing to do is find the right parameters to get the best strategy values voor EMA, SMA and Trailing Stop.
Then keep using these parameter for future buy/sell signals only for that particular stock.
Do the same for other stocks.
Here are the parameters:
Exponential MA: buy trigger when crossing over the SMA value (use values between 11-50)
Simple MA: buy trigger when EMA crosses over the SMA value (use values between 20 and 200)
Stop EMA: sell trigger when Stop EMA of close value crosses under the trailing stop value (use values between 8 and 16)
Trailing Stop #ATR: defines the trailing stop value as a multiple of the ATR(15) value
Example parameters for different stocks (Start capital: 1000, Order=100% of equity, Period 1/1/2005 to now):

I am very curious to see the parameters for your stocks and please make suggestions to improve this strategy.

Moving Average RibbonA ribbon that uses a fast EMA, a slow EMA, and a signal EMA. By default the signal EMA is invisible.
When the fast EMA > slow EMA the default fill is green, and then red when the fast EMA < slow EMA. The signal EMA adds a 2nd flavor to the ribbon. When the fast EMA > slow EMA, if the signal is beneath the fast EMA, the ribbon fill changes its color to a brighter green. When the fast EMA < slow EMA, if the signal is above the fast EMA, the ribbon fill changes its color to a brighter red. Many times these little "fishhook" pullbacks are buying/shorting opportunities in the dominate trend.
Try settings of 8/21/8 Fast/Slow/Signal, with the "Zero-Lag Signal" check box checked. Zero-Lag is a simple algorithm that tries to remove as much lag as possible from an EMA. An 8 EMA will run "slower" than an 8 Zero-Lag EMA.
Additionally, 2 simple alerts are available for whenever the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, and the opposite.
Cheers. Indicator

Simple and Exponential Moving AveragesThis script graphs 5 SMAs (20, 50, 100, 150, 200) and 5 EMAs (20, 50, 100, 150, 200). The first group uses blue and orange colors whereas the second one uses green and red. When a bar closes below a moving average, either orange or red will be used depending on which type of moving average and which period. In bullish mode, we show blue and green. Moving average periods are configurable, and you can hide the MAs you don't want. Indicator
