### Key Features
* **8 Fully Customizable EMAs:** Pre-configured with widely used default lengths (10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800) to cover micro-scalping up to macro-trend levels.
* **Integrated Real-time Dashboard Table:**
* Displays exact price levels for all 8 EMAs.
* Shows real-time status (`BULL 🠅` or `BEAR 🠇`) based on price position relative to each EMA.
* Features an **Overall Trend Score** (e.g., 8/8 Bull = Strong Trend) for instant high-level bias confirmation.
* Fully customizable position (Top Right, Bottom Left, etc.) and text size.
* **Visual Fill Zones (Ribbon Effect):** Smooth background fills between adjacent EMAs allow you to instantly spot trend expansion, compression (squeezes), and reversals.
* **Fully Configurable in Style Tab:** All filled background zones are native plots, meaning you can toggle them individually or adjust their colors and transparency directly in the "Style" settings.
* **Clean & Dynamic Labels:** Clean numerical period tags project to the right of the current bar (with adjustable offset) to keep the chart clutter-free.

### How to Use
#### 1. Visual Chart Ribbon Analysis
* **Bullish Alignment:** When shorter EMAs (10, 20) are layered above longer EMAs (200, 800) and expanding outward, the market is in a strong uptrend.
* **Bearish Alignment:** When shorter EMAs are layered below longer EMAs, the market is in an established downtrend.
* **Compression / Squeeze:** When EMA lines converge tightly, volatility is dropping—often signaling an impending breakout.
* **Dynamic Support/Resistance:** During pullbacks in strong trends, price often tests specific EMA zones (e.g., EMA 20–50 or EMA 200) before resuming the primary trend.
#### 2. Dashboard Table
* **Quick Health Check:** Look at the **Overall Score** row at the bottom of the table:
* **6/8 to 8/8 Bullish (`STRONG`):** High probability long conditions / strong uptrend momentum.
* **0/8 to 2/8 Bullish (`WEAK`):** High probability short conditions / strong downtrend momentum.
* **3/8 to 5/8 (`MIXED`):** Consolidation, choppy market, or transition period.

RibbonFlux MA - Adaptive Flow [AFD]
Your averages are stacked and pointing the same way - but is that move widening, just holding, or already compressing?
Every MA ribbon on the shelf draws the same two or three lines and floods the gap with one colour at one opacity. So a ribbon that has pulled four ATR apart and is still separating looks exactly like a ribbon that has collapsed onto itself. The fill never tells you anything the lines didn't, which is why most people end up reading the lines and ignoring the shading entirely.
RibbonFlux makes the space between the lines carry the information. The gap is measured against ATR, ranked against its own recent history, and the shading answers to that: it deepens while the legs separate in agreement, and drains to a restrained neutral the moment they compress or lose their order. Same averages you already read - the space between them now states which of four conditions it is in.
WHY IT MATTERS
Separation and compression are the two things an MA ribbon actually knows, and the standard ribbon throws both away by drawing them identically. RibbonFlux spends its whole visual budget on that one distinction. It describes geometry already on your chart - never a prediction of what comes next, and never an instruction to act.
AT A GLANCE
Three independent averages - Lead, Base, and an optional Third. Each picks its own method, length (2-250) and price source, and a single enabled average still draws on its own.
Eight methods per slot - EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA, RMA (Wilder), McGinley Dynamic, Fibonacci EMA Composite. Mixed freely: an HMA Lead over an EMA Base over an RMA Third is a valid setup.
Seven price sources per slot - Open, High, Low, Close, HL2, HLC3, OHLC4. Set per average rather than globally, and always on the chart timeframe.
The Flow Phase Engine - four conditions drive the fill's colour and depth: coherent expansion, stable flow, compression, mixed structure. Display only, and they never touch the MA values.
Each leg measured separately - Lead/Base and Base/Third are scored independently, so one fill can be compressing while the other expands. A single-opacity ribbon cannot show that.
Twelve palettes - Ocean, Indigo, Ember, Mono, Forest, Gold, Violet, Orderflow, Midnight, Copper, Arctic, Carbon. Or set Line color mode to Custom for a fixed colour per average, independent of the flow.
Line width and line style - 1 to 4 pixels, and Solid, Stepped, Dotted or Crosses. Applied to every core line and both halo tiers together, so the whole system thins or thickens as one.
Optional flow candles - bodies, wicks and borders take the relationship colour. Off by default, and under Adaptive dynamics they turn neutral during compression along with the ribbon.
Deliberately quiet - seven plots, two fills, one optional candle overlay. No alerts, no arrows, no dashboard, no labels, no boxes, no trendlines, nothing else drawn.
THE FOUR FLOW PHASES
Each leg of the ribbon is classified on every bar, and its own fill responds. Nothing here produces an event, and no phase ranks, scores or grades the market.
Coherent expansion - the enabled averages are in order, sloping the same way, and that leg is widening. Deepest shading: the phase factor is 1.00.
Stable flow - in order and sloping together, but the leg is not widening. Held back at 0.75.
Compression - the leg's ATR-normalized spacing sits in the bottom fifth of its own last 100 bars. Restrained neutral colour, and a phase factor of 0.00, which leaves depth at its 0.35 floor.
Mixed structure - the ordering or the slope agreement has broken. Restrained neutral colour, minimal shading at 0.25.
Compression uses a deadband, not a single threshold: a leg enters compression at a percent rank of 20 or below and only leaves it at 30 or above, so a leg hovering near one number does not flicker between two appearances. Before 100 bars of history exist, no leg is classified as compressed.
THE MECHANICS, STATED PLAINLY
ATR spacing = abs(faster average - slower average) / max(ATR(14), one tick)
leg depth = 0.35 + 0.65 x clamp(ATR spacing, 0, 1) x phase factor, then EMA-smoothed over the Flow response length
compression: enter at percent rank <= 20 over 100 bars, leave at >= 30
ordered: Lead > Base (> Third), or Lead < Base (< Third)
Flow response sets one number used three ways - the slope lookback, the expansion lookback, and the smoothing length: Quick is 2 bars, Balanced 3, Smooth 5. Setting Ribbon dynamics to Fixed bypasses the engine and holds each fill at the opacity you selected.
HOW IT DIFFERS FROM A STANDARD MA RIBBON
The fill is measured, not decorative - opacity is a function of ATR-normalized spacing and phase, recomputed every bar. A conventional ribbon fills the gap at a constant tone however wide or narrow it is.
Both legs are scored on their own terms - the Lead/Base fill and the Base/Third fill can disagree, so compression in the inner leg does not mute the outer one, or the reverse.
Compression is relative to the instrument, and sticky - a percent rank of its own history with a 20/30 deadband, not a fixed price or tick distance. It travels across symbols and timeframes without retuning.
Two methods a ribbon rarely offers - McGinley Dynamic and a Fibonacci EMA Composite. The composite is the equal-weight mean of five EMAs at Fibonacci-scaled periods; McGinley scales its own step by the fourth power of the price ratio.
The arithmetic ships with an independent open-source reference implementation - every documented formula is reproducible rather than asserted. A trust signal, not the pitch: what you are here for is the ribbon, not the tests.
THE VISUALS
Lead and Base - a crisp core line plus two restrained halo tiers each. At the default width of 2 the Lead halos are 6 and 4 pixels and the Base halos 5 and 3; Line width scales all of it together.
Glow - Off, Soft, Balanced, Rich, with opacity following Lead/Base spacing independently of the ribbon. So the lines themselves brighten as the pair separates, with a floor so they never vanish.
Ribbon shading - Off, Soft, Balanced, Rich sets the maximum depth the Flow Phases then modulate. Off removes both fills and leaves the lines.
A valid Third MA - one crisp line plus its own Base-to-Third shade. It also joins the ordering and slope tests, so enabling it makes coherence a three-line condition.
Line style - Stepped holds each value until the next bar. Dotted and Crosses place one mark per bar, so spacing follows bar width and opens up as you zoom in. Pine's plot() has no stroked dotted or dashed line, and this script uses no drawing objects to fake one.
Layering - the lines and fills draw in front of the candles, not behind them. Deliberate, so the optional flow candles can colour wicks and borders as well as bodies; if it reads heavy, Line width 1 or Glow Soft thins it.
HOW TO USE IT
Start with the defaults - Close EMA 9 over Close EMA 21, Ocean, Balanced glow and shading, Adaptive dynamics. Chosen for readability, not tuned as trading parameters.
Enable the Third MA for slower context - it defaults to Close EMA 50. Ordering then requires all three in sequence, a stricter condition than two.
Reach for Flow response first - Quick if the shading feels sluggish, Smooth if it feels twitchy. It is the one control that changes how fast the appearance reacts.
Set Ribbon dynamics to Fixed to switch the engine off - a plain constant-opacity ribbon, for comparing against what you ran before. Everything else, from palette to custom colours to width, style, glow and candle colouring, is taste: set it once and leave it.
WHAT IT DELIBERATELY DOES NOT DO
It issues no alerts and has no alert conditions at all. It draws no arrows, entries, retests, setup zones, targets or labels, keeps no dashboard or readout, and ranks, scores and grades nothing. It makes no accuracy, reliability, profitability, probability or future-result claim of any kind. Moving averages are lagging transformations of price that has already printed: visible separation, alignment or colour establishes neither future direction nor the quality of any trade. Educational chart context only - not financial advice.
DATA, TIMEFRAMES, AND WHAT TO CHECK YOURSELF
Everything is computed on your chart's own timeframe and data - there are no higher-timeframe requests anywhere in the source, so there is no lookahead argument to disclose and no second feed to reconcile against your chart.
Any MA moves while its bar is still forming , and two parts of this script also carry state from bar to bar: the McGinley recursion and the compression deadband. That describes the mechanism. Confirm it with the bar-replay tool on your own symbol and timeframe before relying on it - a description of mechanism is not that check, and nothing here claims to be.
The averages read chart OHLC - on Heikin Ashi, Renko, Range or similar they average those synthetic values, not traded prices. Use standard time-based candles if you want the averages to describe real prices.
VWMA needs usable volume, and the Fibonacci EMA Composite needs a length of 8 or more - each is simply unavailable otherwise. A selected calculation that cannot be produced stays unavailable: the script never silently substitutes another method.
McGinley seeds from an SMA of its own length, then advances by previous + (source - previous) / (0.6 x length x ratio^4). If its source or recurrence goes invalid the line goes unavailable and reseeds only after the next contiguous valid window.
Identical Lead and Base settings leave nothing to read - both lines still draw, but the ribbon and flow candles switch off and the lines fall back to neutral. A Third duplicating Lead or Base likewise draws its line while taking no shade and no phase depth.
ORIGINALITY AND CREDIT
Ribbon indicators are old ground; what is new here is that the fill is a measurement rather than a decoration - ATR-normalized leg spacing, a relative compression rank with hysteresis, and per-leg depth, all resolved into colour and opacity and nothing else. The engine is deliberately confined to display, and the surface is deliberately small.

Technical Summay & Crowd Consensus _ Lite _ Triggon# Technical SUMMARY + Crowd Consensus — Triggon Lite
A single technical-bias reading built from 22 of the most widely-charted tools on the platform, 10 oscillators and 12 moving averages condensed into one consensus percentage, a daily persistent Buy/Sell phase, and one fully transparent trade rule.
## Why this exists
I don't personally trade off technical indicators — I think of them mainly as a liquidity layer the market uses, not a forecasting tool. But in a much larger strategy I run privately (4,000+ lines), I tested using a broad technical-consensus reading as a confirmation filter. It didn't add what I wanted there, so I pulled it out.
What was left, though, was a question worth testing on its own: does the crowd's aggregate technical bias — built from the same handful of indicators almost everyone charts with — actually move *with* price, *against* it, or not at all?
My own prior going in is that it's inverse: that a unanimous, textbook-standard reading looks more like a map of where liquidity (stops, obvious entries) is sitting than a map of where price is actually going. This script is that test, built as its own standalone strategy and released openly so anyone can run the same experiment on their own terms. A "Contrarian Mode" exists in the settings for exactly this purpose. The honest answer is probably regime-dependent rather than a fixed sign — trend-following logic (which is most of what's under the hood here) has real, well-documented edge in sustained trends, and only likely loses to the contrarian read in choppier conditions.
## How it works
- **22 inputs, one vote each.** RSI(14), Stochastic(14,3,3), CCI(20), MACD(12,26,9), Awesome Oscillator, Momentum(10), Williams %R(14), Stochastic RSI(3,3,14,14), Ultimate Oscillator, and Bull/Bear Power, plus EMA and SMA at 10/20/50/100/200, VWMA(20), and HMA(9). Each casts **+1 (Buy)**, **-1 (Sell)**, or **0 (Neutral)** using the same conventional thresholds you'd find in most platforms' built-in "Technicals" ratings — nothing exotic or curve-fit.
-**Votes are tallied** into Buy / Sell / Neutral totals across whichever indicators you leave switched on (every one is individually toggleable).
- **Consensus % is the dominant side's share of *all* enabled indicators — including the neutral ones.** A "70% consensus" reading means 70% of everything you've switched on agrees, not 70% of the indicators that took a side. This matters: a busy, trending market with few neutral readings reaches a high consensus % more easily than a quiet one, even at the same buy-to-sell ratio.
- That percentage maps to **four tiers** — Neutral, Buy/Sell, Strong, Very Strong — against your own thresholds (defaults: 45% / 70% / 85%).
- A **Daily Phase state machine** (intraday charts only) turns that instant reading into something more usable: it holds a persistent Buy or Sell phase through the day, only flipping on a genuine reversal of the dominant side. A neutral reading never breaks an established phase, and the phase resets fresh at the start of each new day.
- An optional **EMA-alignment filter** (length and source both adjustable) only allows longs when the full candle sits above the EMA, and shorts when it sits fully below — a candle straddling the line is skipped either way.
- **A trade fires only when three things line up on a confirmed bar:** the daily phase actually flips, that flip's consensus % clears your chosen threshold, and — if enabled — the EMA filter agrees. Reversals are automatic: the opposite entry closes the open position and opens the new one.
- **The on-chart table shows all of it live:** the headline bias, the exact consensus % and tier, a −100/+100 thermal gauge, the day's phase (with the time it started), your current simulated position and P&L, the oscillator/MA vote split, and — if you turn on "Show Indicator Details" — every individual indicator's own vote as a colored badge.
## Built and tested on
Developed and tuned on **BTC, 30-minute chart**. It's fully open — test it freely on any symbol or timeframe. It has also shown some workable behavior on **BNB**, without any promises beyond that. Please don't assume performance carries over to other assets or timeframes without testing it yourself first.
## This is the Lite build — please read before using
This public release intentionally leaves out a number of the filters, sensitivities, and safeguards used in more advanced private versions. Specifically, it does **not** include:
- **Any position-sizing or capital/risk management.** The backtest applies only a flat **0.05% commission** and nothing else — position sizing defaults to 100% of equity per trade precisely *because* sizing and risk management are intentionally out of scope here. Treat the results as a read on signal quality, not on what a properly risk-managed account would actually return. Adjust position size and add your own risk management in the Properties tab before drawing any conclusions about real-world returns.
- **Extra signal-confirmation or veto filters** beyond the optional EMA alignment.
- **Stop-loss, take-profit, or any exit logic** beyond the automatic reversal on the next opposite signal.
This is by design. The goal is to isolate one idea — the technical-consensus / contrarian question above — cleanly enough to test, not to hand you a plug-and-play, fully risk-managed system.
## Disclaimer
This script is for research and educational purposes only and is not financial advice. It is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any asset.

CrosswindCROSSWIND
Crosswind is a signal and trade management indicator built on EMA crossovers, but the crossover itself is only the starting point. Most crossover systems break down in two predictable places. They enter on the cross, which is very often the worst price in the whole move, and they exit at a fixed percentage target, which caps the rare large trends that are supposed to pay for all the small losers. Crosswind addresses both problems and then reports every result net of trading costs, so you can judge whether an edge actually survives the fee schedule.
THREE TIMEFRAME PRESETS
Selecting a trading style sets the EMA pair for you. 15 Min Scalping uses 9 and 21. 1 Hour Swing uses 13 and 48. Daily Trend uses 15 and 150. The preset also sets the width of the trailing stop, since noise that is meaningless on a daily chart will repeatedly eject you from a position on a 15 minute chart.
TREND FILTER
A 200 period SMA gates direction. Long signals are only considered while price trades above it and short signals only while price trades below it. The chart background shades faint green above and faint red below so the active regime is visible at a glance.
TWO SIGNAL MODES
Crossover mode fires when the fast EMA crosses the slow EMA in the direction of the trend filter.
Pullback mode waits. After the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, no signal is issued yet. The indicator waits for price to retrace into the slow EMA and then close back across it, within a window of bars that you control. You are buying the first dip after trend confirmation rather than the extension itself. Fewer signals, but a materially better average entry, and your initial stop sits closer to structure.
OPTIONAL MACD CONFIRMATION
A standard MACD can be required to agree with the signal direction. It reduces frequency and filters some counter momentum entries.
HOW A TRADE IS MANAGED
Risk is measured in R, where 1R is the initial stop distance of 2x ATR. Every number the indicator reports is expressed in these units, which makes results comparable across symbols and volatility regimes.
A trade passes through three stages.
Initial stop. Placed 2x ATR from entry. Nothing moves while the trade is proving itself.
Breakeven. Once the trade reaches 1R in your favour, the stop advances to entry plus the full round trip cost plus a small cushion. This is a real breakeven, not a nominal one, so a trade stopped at this stage does not quietly book a small loss.
Trail. Once the trade reaches 1.5R, a chandelier trail arms. It tracks the highest high reached since entry, offset by an ATR multiple, and it only ever ratchets in your favour. The stop line turns blue when the trail is live, so the current stage is always obvious on the chart.
There is no fixed profit target by default. A winning trade runs until the trail takes it out. If you want a cap for comparison purposes you can set a hard target expressed in R.
An alternative EMA trail is included, which follows the slow EMA with an ATR buffer, for traders who prefer a moving average exit.
COST ACCOUNTING
Fees and slippage are charged per side against the actual entry and exit prices, so cost scales properly with price rather than being a flat assumption. Funding is optional and charged per eight hours held, scaled by your chart timeframe. Defaults assume 0.06 percent taker fees and 0.02 percent slippage. Lower the fee if you post maker orders.
This matters more than most traders expect. Cost per trade is roughly twice the round trip percentage divided by the stop distance. On a daily chart with a wide stop this rounds to almost nothing. On a 15 minute chart with a tight ATR it can exceed a tenth of an R on every single trade, which is enough to turn a system with a respectable win rate into a losing one.
READING THE LABEL
The status label reports the live trade state and the closed trade record. Net R and average R per trade are the headline numbers. Gross R and cost drag are shown alongside them deliberately. If cost drag is consuming a large fraction of gross R, the honest conclusion is that the configuration trades too frequently for the size of its edge, and the fix is a stricter entry filter rather than a cleverer exit.
Best and worst trade, win rate, and the outcome of the most recent trade are also shown. Trend following configurations typically produce a win rate below fifty percent while remaining profitable, because the winners are much larger than the losers. Judge the system on average R, not on win rate.
ALERTS
Five alert conditions are available. Long signal, short signal, either signal, stop or trail hit, and trail armed.
THE CONFIGURATION I USE
1 Hour Swing preset with signal mode set to Pullback, and the reversal option left off so that an opposite signal does not close and flip an open position. Trades finish on their own stop or trail, and the next signal is only taken once flat. This produces a lower trade count with cleaner entries and lets the trail do the work of deciding when a move is over.
LIMITATIONS WORTH KNOWING
Signals evaluate on bar close. Stop resolution uses the level carried in from the previous bar before the trail updates on the current bar, which avoids look ahead but means the trail lags by one bar. When a single bar's range covers both the stop and a hard target, the result is scored as a stop, because OHLC data cannot reveal which level was reached first. The statistics are a study of signal quality, not a full backtest, and they assume constant risk per trade with no position sizing or compounding.
This indicator is a tool for analysis and is not financial advice. Test any configuration on your own market and timeframe before risking capital. Indicator

MR8 Trend Direction & Signal IndicatorThe MR8 is a dynamic trend-following indicator built on the McGinley Dynamic moving average — one of the most responsive and self-adjusting smoothing algorithms available. Unlike traditional EMAs that can lag or whipsaw in changing market conditions, the McGinley Dynamic automatically adapts its speed based on market velocity, resulting in cleaner, more reliable signals.
How It Works
MR8 plots two McGinley Dynamic lines — a faster Ribbon 8 and a slower Ribbon 9. When the faster line crosses above the slower line, the ribbon turns white, signaling bullish momentum and a potential long entry. When the faster line crosses below, the ribbon turns grey, signaling bearish momentum and a potential short entry. This crossover method filters out the noise and false flips that plague single-line slope-based indicators.
Built-In Stop Loss
MR8 includes an optional visual stop loss line calculated directly from the ribbon's current value — 2% above the line for shorts, 2% below for longs. Toggle it on in settings to see exactly where your risk level sits relative to the indicator itself, on any timeframe.
Alert Ready
MR8 includes two built-in alert conditions — one for long signals and one for short signals — with a webhook-compatible JSON message format. Connect directly to any automated trading bot or notification system with zero additional configuration.

EMA Pro+ Suite# EMA Pro+ Suite
**A multi-layer EMA confluence framework for reading market state at a glance.**
---
## What It Is
EMA Pro+ Suite is an overlay indicator built around three exponential moving averages — a Fast (10), Mid (20), and Slow (50) EMA — organized into a structured three-layer state engine that tells you the current market regime, momentum direction, and whether price is in or out of alignment with that regime. Rather than treating each EMA in isolation, the suite reads them together as a system and surfaces a single, coherent market state at all times.
A corner dashboard table updates in real time, giving you an instant read on bias, momentum, alignment, EMA slopes, and price extension — without having to scan the chart manually.
---
## How It Works
The indicator evaluates three distinct layers on every bar:
**Layer 1 — Bias (Trend Regime)**
Defined by price relative to the 50 EMA. Price above = bullish bias. Price below = bearish bias. This is the macro filter — it determines which direction setups should be taken in.
**Layer 2 — Momentum**
Defined by the 10 EMA relative to the 20 EMA. When the fast EMA is above the mid EMA, momentum is bullish. When below, momentum is bearish. Momentum alignment with bias is the confirmation layer.
**Layer 3 — Price vs Fast EMA**
When bias and momentum are aligned but price is on the wrong side of the 10 EMA, the indicator flags a potential pullback or exhaustion condition. In a full bull regime, price dipping below the 10 EMA may represent a high-quality entry opportunity — or an early warning of trend exhaustion. Context determines which.
**Slope Engine**
Each EMA is evaluated for slope using a configurable lookback. RISING / FLAT / FALLING is displayed per EMA in the dashboard. A momentum flip on flat EMAs carries significantly less weight than one on rising or falling EMAs — this is critical for filtering out noise in ranging conditions.
**Price Distance from 50 EMA**
Tracks how extended price is from the slow EMA as a percentage. Large positive or negative readings flag mean reversion risk.
**Bar & Background Coloring**
- Green background + green bars = full bull alignment
- Red background + red bars = full bear alignment
- Yellow bars = conflicting bias and momentum (mixed / transitional state)
- Aqua bars = bull regime, price pulling back below 10 EMA
- Fuchsia bars = bear regime, price popping above 10 EMA
**Cross Signals**
- `M↑` (green) — 10 EMA crossed above 20 EMA in bull zone. Aligned, higher conviction.
- `M↓` (red) — 10 EMA crossed below 20 EMA in bear zone. Aligned, higher conviction.
- `M↑ 🐻` (orange) — Bullish momentum flip firing in bear zone. Counter-trend, lower conviction.
- `M↓ 🐂` (orange) — Bearish momentum flip firing in bull zone. Counter-trend, lower conviction.
**Multi-Timeframe Support**
All three EMAs can be calculated on a higher timeframe and plotted on the current chart. Use this to anchor your bias to the HTF structure while reading entries on a lower timeframe.
---
## Possible Ways to Use It
**Trend Following**
Wait for full alignment — green background, green bars, all three slopes RISING. Only look for long entries. Use the 10 EMA pullback (aqua bars) as a potential entry trigger. Reverse logic for shorts.
**Momentum Flip Entries**
Use aligned `M↑` / `M↓` signals (green/red) as entry triggers when bias and slope confirm. Discard or fade counter-trend orange signals unless you have a specific reason to trade against the regime.
**Regime Filter for Other Systems**
Use the bias layer (price vs 50 EMA) as a filter for another strategy. Only take long signals from your primary system when EMA Pro+ shows bull bias, and vice versa.
**HTF Confluence**
Set the EMA Timeframe to a higher timeframe (e.g. 4H or Daily) while trading on a 15m or 1H chart. The dashboard will show the HTF regime, giving you a structural anchor for your intraday reads.
**Avoiding Chop**
When all three slopes read FLAT and bars are yellow (mixed alignment), the market is in a transitional or ranging state. Consider standing aside or reducing position size until a clear regime re-establishes.
**Mean Reversion Awareness**
When Dist 50 shows a large positive or negative reading, price is extended from the slow EMA. In trending markets this can persist — but it raises the bar for adding to positions and flags potential snapback risk.

Rising & Falling Wedge Detector [HexaTrades]Overview
Wedge Detector automatically identifies and draws the two most actionable wedge patterns: the Rising Wedge (bearish) and the Falling Wedge (bullish). It marks each as a converging cone, validates the geometry, waits for a bar-close breakout, then plots a measured-move target and a structure-based stop without repainting the pattern structure.
It is built around quality over quantity: a strict, perfect-shape gate ensures only genuinely converging, textbook wedges appear. Every part of the logic is transparent and tunable. Ideal for swing and intraday traders who trade chart patterns and want an objective, rules-based way to spot wedges and define risk.
What it detects
Rising Wedge( bearish)
Higher highs and higher lows, but the lows rise faster than the highs (the lines converge upward). Signals a likely breakdown confirmed on a close below the lower trendline.
Falling Wedge ( bullish)
Lower highs and lower lows, but the highs fall faster than the lows (the lines converge downward). Signals a likely breakout confirmed on a close above the upper trendline.
How the Indicator Works
- Pivots: confirmed swing highs/lows (locked pivotLen bars after they occur).
- Boundaries: upper line from the two most recent swing highs; lower line from the two most recent swing lows, projected as straight lines.
- Slope & convergence: rising = both up, lows rising faster; falling = both down, highs falling faster (set by Convergence strictness).
- Perfect-shape gate: no crossing inside, real narrowing, minimum contraction, apex ahead, sensible duration, minimum ATR height.
- Forming preview: dashed shaded cone while developing.
- Breakout: bar-close below lower line (rising → bearish) / above upper line (falling → bullish).
- Filters: optional EMA trend, volume, breakout-candle ATR size.
- Targets/stops: measured-move target + opposite-boundary stop, drawn as persistent right-extending lines.
Features
- Automatic detection of rising & falling wedges from confirmed pivots.
- Perfect-shape validation rejects crossing, barely-narrowing, diverging, past-apex, too-small or too-long shapes.
- Forming preview dashed shaded cone before breakout.
- Bar-close breakout confirmation, no intrabar fakes.
- Measured-move target + structure stop (opposite boundary).
- EMA trend filter, volume filter, breakout-candle ATR filter (all optional).
- Theme-aware dashboard + shaded wedge zone + 3 alerts.
Dashboard
Status: Forming while developing → Confirmed on breakout
Last wedge: Rising Wedge / Falling Wedge
Bias: Bearish / Bullish
Target: Projected take-profit level
Stop: Structure-based invalidation level
Filters: EMA / Volume / ATR shown as On / Off
Settings
Detection:
Pivot length: swing sensitivity. Lower = more (and smaller) wedges.
Min wedge height (ATR): rejects wedges smaller than this many ATR.
Convergence strictness: how strongly the lines must converge (higher = stricter).
Min width contraction: minimum narrowing from start to breakout.
Max wedge duration: rejects over-stretched patterns.
Show forming wedge: preview wedges before breakout.
Filters:
EMA trend filter: only confirm breakouts aligned with the EMA (falling wedge above EMA, rising wedge below).
Volume confirmation: requires above-average volume on the breakout candle.
Min breakout candle size: require a breakout candle of at least N×ATR.
Visuals
Toggle target/stop lines, colors for bullish/bearish / forming, and the dashboard.
Alerts:
Rising Wedge breakdown:bearish confirmation.
Falling Wedge breakout: bullish confirmation.
Any wedge confirmed - either of the above.
Create alerts with “Once per bar close” for non-repainting behaviour.
Trading Guide
- Identify: dashboard Status = Forming + clean dashed cone.
- Enter: on the bar-close breakout (▲/▼) in the wedge's direction.
- Avoid: when filters reject the breakout, or in choppy ranges.
- Stop: the drawn SL (opposite boundary). Target: the drawn TP (measured move).
- Risk: size so breakout→stop is an acceptable risk; R:R = (TP−entry) ÷ (entry−SL).
Bullish Example (Falling Wedge)
Down-trend forms a dashed falling cone → a candle closes above the upper line → ▲ prints, wedge turns solid green, Status = Confirmed → enter, SL = lower line, TP = breakout + wedge height.
Bearish Example (Rising Wedge)
Up-grind forms a dashed rising cone → a candle closes below the lower line → ▼ prints, wedge turns solid red → enter short, SL = upper line, TP = breakout − wedge height.
Best Markets & Timeframes
Markets: works on crypto, forex, stocks, indices, futures, commodities. Best on liquid instruments with clean swings (the volume filter is most meaningful on stocks/indices).
Timeframes: 5m/15m = more signals, more noise (use stricter filters); 1H/4H = the sweet spot; Daily/Weekly = highest quality, fewer & slower.

Indicator
Moving Average Structure MatrixMoving Average Structure Matrix is not a basic multi-MA ribbon.
The moving-average lines are only the visible base layer. The main contribution is a neutral MA structure layer that quantifies how the enabled moving averages are ordered, clustered, twisting, and positioned relative to the selected source.
This script is designed for traders who want quick structural context from multiple EMA/SMA lines without relying only on visual inspection. It is a context and visualization tool only. It does not provide trade-action instructions and it is not a trading system.
What it shows
- Up to 8 user-configurable EMA/SMA slots.
- A moving-average ensemble centerline.
- The high and low boundary of the enabled MA group.
- Optional fill between the MA bundle boundaries.
- A compact context table.
- Optional factual event labels.
- Neutral alert conditions for structure changes.
The MA lines are useful visually, but the structure layer is the main feature.
Core structure fields
Pairwise Stack Score
The script compares enabled moving averages pair by pair.
For each pair with different lengths, the shorter-length MA is treated as the faster MA and the longer-length MA as the slower MA.
If the faster MA is meaningfully above the slower MA, the pair contributes positively.
If the faster MA is meaningfully below the slower MA, the pair contributes negatively.
If the pair is too close to classify, it contributes as tied.
The Stack Score summarizes this pairwise ordering on an approximate -100 to +100 scale.
A positive Stack Score means shorter MAs are generally above longer MAs.
A negative Stack Score means shorter MAs are generally below longer MAs.
A value near zero means the group is mixed or tied.
Order Purity
Order Purity measures how much of the eligible pairwise structure agrees with the dominant side.
For example, a high positive Stack Score with high Order Purity describes a cleaner upward ordering of shorter and longer averages. A mixed pair structure will usually show lower purity.
Order Purity is descriptive only. It is not a forecast or a trade instruction.
Tie Ratio
Tie Ratio measures how many eligible MA pairs are too close to classify after applying the stack-separation threshold.
A higher Tie Ratio means more of the MA group is structurally tied or compressed into similar values.
Slope Consensus
Slope Consensus measures how many enabled moving averages are rising, falling, or flat over the selected slope lookback.
Each enabled MA receives a slope sign:
- rising
- falling
- flat
The Slope Score summarizes the group on an approximate -100 to +100 scale.
Bundle Width and Width Rank
The script calculates the high and low values of the enabled MA group.
Bundle Width measures the distance between those two boundaries.
Bundle Width % expresses that distance relative to the MA centroid.
Width Rank compares the current bundle width with its own recent history. This is a moving-average bundle context only. It is not a volatility regime and it does not forecast future movement.
Width context can read as:
- Clustered
- Middle width
- Wide bundle
- n/a
Twist Rate
Twist Rate describes internal reordering of the MA group.
For each eligible fast/slow pair, the script compares the current pair relationship with the previous bar's relationship. When a pair changes from one ordered side to the other, it counts as a twist.
Twist Rate summarizes how much internal crossing or reordering has occurred over the selected lookback.
This helps distinguish a clean MA structure from a churning or mixed MA group.
Fast/Slow Cohort Spread
The script can compare shorter-length and longer-length MA groups.
The fast cohort contains shorter MAs.
The slow cohort contains longer MAs.
Cohort Spread % compares the average position of the fast cohort with the average position of the slow cohort.
This gives a second view of the structure beyond individual pair comparisons.
Source-vs-Bundle location
The selected source can be:
- Above bundle
- Inside bundle
- Below bundle
- n/a
The script also calculates Bundle Position %, which describes where the source sits relative to the current MA bundle.
Values can be below 0 or above 100 when the source is outside the bundle.
Structure State
The script combines stack ordering, order purity, slope consensus, bundle width context, twist rate, and source location into a neutral state label.
Possible states include:
- Need 2+ MAs
- Need different MA lengths
- Warming up
- Ordered upward
- Ordered downward
- Upward stack / mixed slopes
- Downward stack / mixed slopes
- Churning bundle
- Clustered mixed bundle
- Flat bundle
- Transitioning upward
- Transitioning downward
- Intermixed
These states describe the current MA structure. They do not imply continuation or reversal.
Structure Age
Structure Age counts how long the current structure state has persisted.
The script uses distinct internal state IDs, so the age resets when the actual structure state changes, not just when broad direction changes.
Structure Fingerprint
The Fingerprint is a compact summary of the current MA structure.
Example:
O+ S+ Wm Pa A34
Meaning:
- O+ means positive stack polarity.
- O- means negative stack polarity.
- O0 means no clear stack polarity.
- S+ means positive slope consensus.
- S- means negative slope consensus.
- S0 means no clear slope consensus.
- Wc means clustered width.
- Wm means middle width.
- Ww means wide bundle.
- Wn means width unavailable.
- Pa means source above the bundle.
- Pi means source inside the bundle.
- Pb means source below the bundle.
- Pn means source location unavailable.
- A shows the current structure age.
The Fingerprint is a compact context summary. It is not a trade instruction.
Structure Footprint
The Footprint expands the context by combining:
- Structure age
- Previous state age
- Width motion
- Twist Rate
- Order Purity
- Tie Ratio
This helps users read how the MA group is currently organized without relying only on line spacing.
Context table
The default context table is compact and placed in the upper-right area.
Compact layout shows:
- State
- Fingerprint
- Stack Score
- Slope Score
- Width / Twist
- Price location
- Structure Age
Standard and Detailed layouts add more research fields, including:
- Footprint
- Order Purity
- Tie Ratio
- Twist Rate
- Cohort Spread
- Bundle Width %
- Width Rank
- Bundle Position %
- Enabled MA count
- Eligible pairs
- Equal-length pairs skipped
- Up / Down / Tied pair counts
- Fast / Slow cohort counts
- Centroid
- Bundle high
- Bundle low
- Active warm-up bars
- State ID
- Enabled MA names
Research fields are available in the Detailed context table without adding extra chart plots. The context table is the primary research surface.
Events and labels
Event labels are optional and off by default.
When enabled, labels are factual and neutral. They describe events such as:
- structure became ordered upward
- structure became ordered downward
- structure became intermixed
- bundle entered churning context
- bundle entered clustered width context
- bundle left clustered width context
- source moved above the MA bundle
- source moved below the MA bundle
- source crossed the MA centroid
Event markers use capped labels rather than plotshape markers, so the script stays within PulseWire's plot-count limit. Older labels are removed after the user-defined label cap is reached.
Alerts
The script includes factual alert conditions for the same structure events.
Alerts respect the selected confirmed-bar behavior by default. Intrabar mode is available, but realtime values can update until the bar closes.
Customization
Users can adjust:
- source
- slope lookback
- warm-up behavior
- EMA/SMA type for each MA slot
- length for each MA slot
- color, width, transparency, and name for each MA slot
- stack separation threshold
- ordered stack threshold
- order purity threshold
- slope flat threshold
- slope consensus threshold
- width-rank lookback
- clustered / wide width thresholds
- twist lookback
- churning twist threshold
- cohort split length
- automatic cohort split
- event persistence
- event cooldown
- context table layout
- context table position
- table text size
- table colors
- marker colors
- envelope colors
- fill transparency
Visual customization does not affect calculations.
Most input values are hidden from the chart status line by default to keep the chart label compact. All inputs remain available in the Settings / Inputs tab.
Different from other tools
This script does not use ATR channels, session shading, volatility-regime classification, VWAP, volume weighting, or RSI slope divergence.
It focuses only on the geometry of an enabled EMA/SMA ensemble.
Limitations
Moving averages lag by design.
A clean MA structure does not guarantee continuation.
A churning MA structure does not imply reversal.
MA order can persist, unwind, or flip.
Default lengths are common visual reference points, not optimized settings.
Width and cluster context are descriptive of the enabled MA group and its own history.
Changing enabled MAs, lengths, or thresholds changes the structure readings.
This script is not financial advice and not a trading system.

MACD Momentum Entry Engine [trade_w_samet]🎯 MACD Momentum Entry Engine
MACD Momentum Entry Engine is a structured momentum-analysis and visual trade-model indicator designed to help traders study confirmed MACD events, momentum quality, directional persistence, market regime, trend alignment, candle confirmation, and multi-target risk references directly from one coordinated workflow.
The script is built around one central idea:
A MACD event should not automatically become an entry signal.
Instead of treating every MACD crossover as equally meaningful, the engine first identifies the type of momentum event, then evaluates its strength, expansion, slope, acceleration, market environment, candle quality, directional persistence, and optional trend alignment before a permanent LONG or SHORT setup is accepted.
The indicator includes:
• Configurable MACD fast, slow, and signal lengths
• EMA, SMA, RMA, and WMA calculation options
• Early Trigger and Momentum Confirmed entry timing
• Reversal, Continuation, Zero-Line Reclaim, and Momentum Expansion setups
• A transparent 0–100 Momentum Quality Score
• Alignment, histogram strength, expansion, slope, and acceleration scoring
• Loose, Balanced, Strict, and Off quality modes
• A separate 0–100 Anti-Chop Market Regime Score
• ADX, price efficiency, EMA separation, and volatility-expansion analysis
• A separate 0–100 Entry Qualification Score
• Candle body, close location, MACD separation, persistence, impulse, and trigger-context analysis
• A final composite setup score
• A+, A, B, and C internal setup grades
• Optional chart EMA, confirmed higher-timeframe EMA, and combined trend bias
• Confirmed higher-timeframe calculations
• Zero-line directional filtering
• ATR-normalized absolute histogram-strength filtering
• Internal signal cooldown and same-bar re-entry protection
• One-active-trade-at-a-time visual management
• ATR-based and XAUUSD fixed-pip risk models
• Three visual take-profit levels
• Stop First and Targets First same-bar assumptions
• Equal-third internal trade-model accounting
• Active Entry, TP1, TP2, TP3, and SL lines
• Active reward and risk boxes on the main chart
• TP3-only historical trade-model preservation
• Separate SL, Closed TP1, Closed TP2, and TP3 result labels
• Adjustable LONG, SHORT, and result-label sizes
• MACD histogram, line, signal line, momentum background, and anti-chop background
• Neon LONG and SHORT dots directly on the MACD line
• A compact main-chart dashboard
• XAUUSD symbol verification and mismatch warning
• Static PulseWire alert conditions
• Detailed dynamic alert() messages
• Data Window diagnostics
• Confirmed-close permanent signals
The purpose of this script is to provide a structured way to study when a MACD event is supported by broader momentum and market context.
It is not financial advice.
It is not an automated trading system.
It does not guarantee profitable trades.
It does not execute broker orders.
It does not replace personal analysis, position sizing, or risk management.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📌 OVERVIEW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
At a high level, MACD Momentum Entry Engine does the following:
• Calculates a configurable MACD using the selected average types.
• Separates the visual histogram scale from the calculation scale.
• Detects confirmed MACD crossovers and zero-line events.
• Identifies Reversal, Continuation, Zero-Line Reclaim, and Expansion setup types.
• Optionally accepts the event immediately through Early Trigger mode.
• Optionally arms the setup and waits for renewed momentum through Momentum Confirmed mode.
• Measures momentum alignment, histogram strength, histogram expansion, MACD slope, and acceleration.
• Produces separate bullish and bearish 0–100 Momentum Quality Scores.
• Measures market regime using ADX, directional efficiency, EMA separation, and volatility expansion.
• Produces a separate 0–100 Market Regime Score.
• Evaluates candle direction, body quality, close location, MACD separation, persistence, and price impulse.
• Produces separate bullish and bearish Entry Qualification Scores.
• Combines momentum, regime, and entry quality into a final composite score.
• Assigns an internal A+, A, B, or C grade.
• Applies optional chart EMA and confirmed higher-timeframe EMA bias.
• Applies zero-line, absolute-strength, cooldown, and trade-slot controls.
• Confirms permanent LONG and SHORT signals only after candle close.
• Opens one visual trade model from the confirmed signal-bar close.
• Calculates Entry, Stop Loss, TP1, TP2, and TP3.
• Tracks targets and stop events from the next candle onward.
• Applies the selected same-bar processing assumption.
• Preserves completed TP3 models when historical display is enabled.
• Removes trade drawings after SL, Closed TP1, or Closed TP2 outcomes.
• Converts the original entry label into the final result for non-TP3 outcomes.
• Adds a separate electric-purple FULL TARGET label for TP3 outcomes.
• Displays Momentum, Trend, Regime, Trade, Last Result, and Protection states in the bottom-right dashboard.
• Provides static and dynamic alert options.
• Exposes diagnostic values through PulseWire’s Data Window.
The indicator does not use machine-learning prediction.
Its scores are not probabilities.
Its labels do not promise future direction.
The script is a rule-based educational momentum framework that explains how a raw MACD event becomes an accepted or rejected setup.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧠 CORE IDEA
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The core idea behind MACD Momentum Entry Engine is that a crossover alone contains limited context.
A basic crossover only confirms that one MACD line has moved through another.
It does not automatically explain:
• whether the histogram is expanding
• whether momentum is accelerating
• whether the move is occurring in a directional or choppy market
• whether the signal candle supports the direction
• whether MACD separation is meaningful relative to recent behavior
• whether momentum has persisted
• whether price is aligned with an optional trend filter
• whether a recent signal already occurred
• whether a visual trade model is already active
The engine therefore uses a staged sequence:
MACD event
→ setup classification
→ momentum-quality scoring
→ optional trend-bias validation
→ anti-chop regime scoring
→ entry qualification
→ additional signal filters
→ confirmed signal
→ visual trade model
→ TP / SL lifecycle
→ result handling
For bullish conditions, the script studies upward MACD transitions, positive histogram alignment, renewed expansion, positive slope, positive acceleration, bullish candle behavior, and directional persistence.
For bearish conditions, the same process is mirrored.
The purpose is not to find the largest possible number of signals.
The purpose is to make the acceptance process visible, configurable, and understandable.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧩 WHY THIS SCRIPT IS NOT A SIMPLE BUY/SELL INDICATOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
MACD Momentum Entry Engine is not designed to be used as a blind buy/sell system.
A raw MACD event must move through multiple stages:
A crossover or momentum event appears
→ the event is classified
→ the momentum-quality layer is evaluated
→ the trend-bias layer is evaluated
→ the anti-chop layer is evaluated
→ the candle and entry-quality layer is evaluated
→ zero-line and absolute-strength filters are checked
→ cooldown and active-trade restrictions are checked
→ the setup must remain valid at candle close
→ a permanent LONG or SHORT setup is printed
→ Entry, SL, TP1, TP2, and TP3 are projected
→ the trade model is monitored from the following candle
→ the model closes at TP3 or Stop
→ the final chart result is preserved or cleaned
Each module serves a different purpose.
The MACD core defines the momentum relationship.
The setup engine identifies what kind of event occurred.
The momentum-quality engine measures the internal strength of that event.
The anti-chop engine measures whether the broader environment is directional enough for the selected mode.
The entry-qualification engine evaluates the signal candle and immediate price response.
The trend-bias engine optionally restricts direction.
The trade engine standardizes the visual risk framework.
The dashboard explains the current engine state.
This makes the script a coordinated momentum-analysis workflow rather than a basic crossover marker.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ HOW THE SCRIPT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script operates through connected calculation stages.
First, it calculates every supported moving-average type on every candle.
The selected average type is then used for the fast MACD average, slow MACD average, and signal average.
The MACD line is the difference between the selected fast and slow averages.
The histogram is the difference between the MACD line and the signal line.
fastAverage = f_selectMa(macdMaType, fastEma, fastSma, fastRma, fastWma)
slowAverage = f_selectMa(macdMaType, slowEma, slowSma, slowRma, slowWma)
macdLine = fastAverage - slowAverage
signalLine = f_selectMa(signalMaType, signalEma, signalSma, signalRma, signalWma)
histogram = macdLine - signalLine
The histogram visual multiplier changes only the displayed column length.
It does not change:
• the MACD line
• the signal line
• the histogram used by calculations
• quality scores
• setup detection
• trade results
After the MACD core is calculated, the engine measures:
• absolute histogram strength
• one-bar histogram expansion
• MACD slope
• momentum acceleration
• adaptive baselines for each measurement
The setup engine then checks the enabled event types.
The quality, trend, regime, qualification, and additional-filter stages determine whether the setup is eligible.
A final permanent signal is accepted only after the candle closes and every enabled condition remains valid.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🟢 BULLISH MACD MOMENTUM LOGIC
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A bullish setup begins with one of four enabled event types.
Bullish Reversal
A bullish MACD crossover occurs while the MACD line remains below zero.
This represents a momentum turn from the negative side of the zero line.
Bullish Continuation
A bullish MACD crossover occurs while the MACD line is at or above zero.
This represents renewed bullish alignment on the positive side.
Bullish Zero-Line Reclaim
The MACD line crosses above zero while:
• MACD is above the signal line
• the histogram is positive
• the bar is confirmed
Bullish Momentum Expansion
The histogram resumes positive expansion after a short contraction while:
• MACD remains above the signal line
• MACD slope is positive
• no new crossover is being used on the same bar
• no new zero-line cross is being used on the same bar
The event must then pass the active momentum-quality requirement.
When enabled, it must also pass:
• chart EMA bias
• confirmed higher-timeframe EMA bias
• EMA slope confirmation
• ATR distance from the trend EMA
• anti-chop regime requirement
• entry qualification
• bullish candle direction
• minimum MACD separation
• momentum persistence
• zero-line direction
• absolute histogram strength
• cooldown
• active-trade availability
The final signal uses confirmed-bar logic.
bullishSignal =
barstate.isconfirmed and
bullishEntryCandidate and
bullishZeroLinePass and
absoluteStrengthPass and
bullishQualityPass and
bullishTrendPass and
antiChopPass and
bullishQualificationPass and
bullishCandlePass and
separationPass and
bullishPersistencePass and
cooldownPass and
tradeSlotAvailable
When every active rule passes, the script can display:
• a neon green dot on the MACD line
• a LONG label on the main chart
• setup type, grade, and score information
• a visual Entry, SL, TP1, TP2, and TP3 model
This confirms that the configured bullish momentum conditions were valid at candle close.
It does not mean price must continue upward.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔴 BEARISH MACD MOMENTUM LOGIC
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A bearish setup mirrors the bullish process.
Bearish Reversal
A bearish MACD crossover occurs while the MACD line remains above zero.
This represents a momentum turn from the positive side of the zero line.
Bearish Continuation
A bearish MACD crossover occurs while the MACD line is at or below zero.
This represents renewed bearish alignment on the negative side.
Bearish Zero-Line Reclaim
The MACD line crosses below zero while:
• MACD is below the signal line
• the histogram is negative
• the bar is confirmed
Bearish Momentum Expansion
The histogram resumes negative expansion after a short contraction while:
• MACD remains below the signal line
• MACD slope is negative
• no new bearish crossover is being used on the same bar
• no new bearish zero-line cross is being used on the same bar
The setup must then pass the same quality, trend, regime, candle, separation, persistence, strength, cooldown, and trade-slot controls.
A permanent SHORT signal appears only when all active conditions remain valid at candle close.
The script can then display:
• a neon red dot on the MACD line
• a SHORT label on the main chart
• setup type, grade, and score information
• Entry, SL, TP1, TP2, and TP3 references
This confirms that the configured bearish momentum conditions were valid at candle close.
It does not guarantee continued downside movement.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
💎 MACD MOMENTUM QUALITY FILTER SYSTEM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script includes a separate bullish and bearish Momentum Quality Score.
The quality layer evaluates five components.
Alignment — maximum 20 points
Bullish alignment requires:
• MACD above the signal line
• positive histogram
Bearish alignment requires:
• MACD below the signal line
• negative histogram
Histogram Strength — maximum 25 points
The absolute histogram value is compared with an adaptive EMA baseline.
This measures whether current separation is meaningful relative to recent MACD behavior.
Histogram Expansion — maximum 20 points
The engine measures the one-bar change in absolute histogram strength.
Points are awarded only when the histogram is expanding in the setup direction.
MACD Slope — maximum 20 points
Bullish setups require positive slope for this component.
Bearish setups require negative slope.
The slope magnitude is compared with its own adaptive baseline.
Momentum Acceleration — maximum 15 points
Acceleration measures the change in MACD slope.
Positive acceleration supports bullish scoring.
Negative acceleration supports bearish scoring.
bullishQualityScore = f_clamp(
bullishAlignmentScore +
bullishHistogramStrengthScore +
bullishExpansionScore +
bullishSlopeScore +
bullishAccelerationScore,
0.0,
100.0
The available quality modes are:
Off
Removes the minimum Momentum Quality Score restriction.
Loose
Requires a minimum score of 45.
Balanced
Requires a minimum score of 60.
Strict
Requires a minimum score of 75 and is the default.
The score is not a win rate.
It is not a probability.
It measures how closely the current MACD event matches the engine’s momentum-strength framework.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📏 VOLATILITY / ATR NORMALIZATION FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator uses ATR normalization to compare certain values across changing volatility conditions.
The Absolute Strength Filter calculates:
Absolute Histogram Strength = |Histogram| / ATR × 100.
This value is used as an additional minimum-strength condition.
The default settings are:
• Normalization ATR Length: 14
• Minimum Absolute Strength: 1.0
• Use Absolute Strength Filter: enabled
ATR normalization helps reduce dependence on the raw numerical scale of a market.
For example, a raw MACD histogram value cannot be compared directly across instruments with very different prices and volatility.
Normalization places the histogram in relation to the instrument’s recent ATR.
The same ATR framework is also used by:
• optional price-to-EMA trend buffers
• EMA-separation regime measurement
• price-impulse scoring
• ATR-based trade management
ATR normalization does not make one configuration universal.
Symbols, sessions, exchanges, and data feeds can still behave differently.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🕯️ DISPLACEMENT QUALITY FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The entry-qualification engine evaluates whether the signal candle shows enough directional response.
The Candle component contributes up to 25 points.
It is divided into:
Directional Body — maximum 12.5 points
For bullish setups, the engine measures the positive candle body relative to the full candle range.
For bearish setups, it measures the negative body.
Close Location — maximum 12.5 points
Bullish setups receive more points when the close is nearer the candle high.
Bearish setups receive more points when the close is nearer the candle low.
Price Impulse contributes up to 15 additional points.
The engine compares the one-bar directional price movement with ATR.
A bullish price impulse measures positive close-to-close displacement.
A bearish price impulse measures negative close-to-close displacement.
This layer does not predict the next candle.
It measures whether the completed signal candle supports the direction of the MACD event.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 REACTION STRENGTH FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The engine includes a separate Entry Qualification Score.
Its components are:
Candle Quality — maximum 25 points
Combines directional body and close location.
MACD Separation — maximum 25 points
Measures current histogram separation relative to its adaptive baseline.
Momentum Persistence — maximum 20 points
Measures how long directional MACD and histogram alignment has remained active.
Price Impulse — maximum 15 points
Measures directional close-to-close movement relative to ATR.
Trigger Context — maximum 15 points
Confirms that an eligible setup event is currently active.
The total is limited to 0–100.
Available modes are:
Off
Removes the minimum Entry Qualification Score restriction.
Loose
Requires a minimum score of 45.
Balanced
Requires a minimum score of 60.
Strict
Requires a minimum score of 75 and is the default.
The final signal also uses internal candle-direction, separation, and persistence requirements.
These internal parameters remain active in the background to keep the public settings menu cleaner.
The Entry Qualification Score is not a verified accuracy figure.
It describes the quality of the completed entry context according to the script’s rules.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧼 CONFIRMED SIGNAL FILTER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Permanent LONG and SHORT signals wait for candle close.
The engine uses confirmed-bar checks on:
• MACD crossovers
• zero-line crossings
• expansion triggers
• momentum confirmation
• final LONG and SHORT conditions
The higher-timeframe trend layer also uses previous completed higher-timeframe values.
htfConfirmedClose = request.security(
syminfo.tickerid,
higherTimeframe,
close ,
gaps = barmerge.gaps_off,
lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on
)
htfConfirmedEma = request.security(
syminfo.tickerid,
higherTimeframe,
ta.ema(close, trendLength) ,
gaps = barmerge.gaps_off,
lookahead = barmerge.lookahead_on
)
This approach prevents an unfinished higher-timeframe candle from becoming the permanent trend reference.
Entry Timing provides two workflows.
Early Trigger
Uses the confirmed setup event directly.
Momentum Confirmed
Arms the setup and waits for a later confirmed candle with:
• continued MACD alignment
• directional histogram
• renewed histogram expansion
• directional MACD slope
The confirmation opportunity is temporary.
If renewed momentum does not appear inside the internal window, the armed setup expires.
The script does not plot final signals into earlier candles.
Historical results can still change when:
• settings change
• symbol data changes
• timeframe changes
• the data provider revises history
• the available chart-history range changes
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 ENTRY MODEL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When a final LONG or SHORT setup passes every enabled condition, the trade engine can create a visual trade model.
The Entry reference is the close of the confirmed signal candle.
For a LONG model:
• Stop is below Entry
• TP1 is above Entry
• TP2 is above TP1
• TP3 is above TP2
For a SHORT model:
• Stop is above Entry
• TP1 is below Entry
• TP2 is below TP1
• TP3 is below TP2
tradeEntryPrice := close
tradeStopPrice := tradeEntryPrice - selectedStopDistance
tradeTp1Price := tradeEntryPrice + selectedTp1Distance
tradeTp2Price := tradeEntryPrice + selectedTp2Distance
tradeTp3Price := tradeEntryPrice + selectedTp3Distance
The model begins checking TP and SL from the following candle.
This prevents the signal candle’s earlier high or low from being treated as though it occurred after the close-based entry.
The engine stores:
• direction
• entry bar
• entry price
• stop price
• TP1 price
• TP2 price
• TP3 price
• initial risk
• target R values
• TP1 and TP2 progress
• setup type
• setup grade
• risk model
• original signal label
The displayed model is an educational chart reference.
It is not a broker order.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🛑 ATR STOP-LOSS MODEL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator includes two risk models.
ATR Based
Stop distance is calculated as:
ATR × ATR Stop Multiplier.
The default settings are:
• ATR Length: 14
• ATR Stop Multiplier: 1.50
• TP1: 0.50R
• TP2: 1.00R
• TP3: 1.50R
The minimum distance is protected by the symbol’s minimum tick.
XAUUSD Fixed Pips
Stop and target distances use:
Selected Pips × XAUUSD Pip Size.
The default settings are:
• Pip Size: 0.01
• Stop Loss: 1000 pips
• TP1: 500 pips
• TP2: 1000 pips
• TP3: 1500 pips
Under the common 0.01 convention, those values correspond to:
• Stop distance: 10.00 price units
• TP1 distance: 5.00 price units
• TP2 distance: 10.00 price units
• TP3 distance: 15.00 price units
Broker conventions can differ.
Users should verify their symbol specification before relying on fixed-pip distances.
The XAUUSD protection system checks the symbol.
The dashboard shows:
• ✅ XAUUSD VERIFIED when XAUUSD Fixed Pips is used on a recognized XAUUSD symbol
• ⚠️ CHECK SYMBOL when the mode is used on another symbol
• 🛡️ ATR MODE when ATR Based is selected
The warning does not block calculations.
It tells the user to verify pip size and target distances.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 TAKE-PROFIT RR MODEL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The visual model contains three take-profit levels.
ATR Based mode calculates targets from the initial stop distance:
TP1 Distance = Initial Risk × TP1 RR.
TP2 Distance = Initial Risk × TP2 RR.
TP3 Distance = Initial Risk × TP3 RR.
XAUUSD Fixed Pips mode uses independent fixed target distances.
The script enforces the following order:
TP1 < TP2 < TP3.
If a selected value would violate that order, the next target is moved at least one minimum tick beyond the prior target.
The trade model internally treats the position as three equal portions.
Each target represents one-third of the model.
If Stop is reached after TP1 or TP2, the script calculates an internal net-R result from:
• the portions already modeled as closed at reached targets
• the remaining portion or portions modeled at Stop
This internal calculation supports Data Window counters.
It is not broker-verified performance.
It does not account for:
• spread
• commission
• slippage
• latency
• partial-fill differences
• financing
• order rejection
• execution venue behavior
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📦 ACTIVE TP / SL BOX SYSTEM
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
When a confirmed trade model opens, the script can draw on the main chart:
• Entry line
• TP1 line
• TP2 line
• TP3 line
• Stop Loss line
• TP1 reward box
• TP2 reward box
• TP3 reward box
• SL risk box
• LONG or SHORT label
The Entry line is white.
The TP lines are green and initially dashed.
The SL line is red and solid.
The SL box uses a solid border.
When a target is reached:
• the corresponding box becomes more visible
• the corresponding target line becomes solid
• the target line becomes thicker
• the dynamic target alert can fire
When TP3 is reached:
• the complete model closes
• the original LONG or SHORT label remains
• a separate electric-purple TP3 FULL TARGET label appears
• the trade model can remain historically visible
When the model closes at Stop before TP3:
• all active boxes are deleted
• all active trade lines are deleted
• the original LONG or SHORT label is converted into the final result
• the final result becomes SL, CLOSED TP1, or CLOSED TP2
Only TP3 outcomes can retain completed historical boxes and lines.
This is a chart-cleanliness decision.
It does not imply that other outcomes did not occur.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚦 ONE ACTIVE TRADE AT A TIME
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The script uses one-active-trade-at-a-time visual management.
When the trade engine is enabled:
• a new trade model cannot open while another model is active
• a new trade cannot open on the same candle that closed the previous model
• the internal setup engine continues calculating
• permanent signals are restricted by trade-slot availability
This prevents overlapping Entry, TP, and SL structures.
It also keeps the trade lifecycle easier to interpret.
When the trade engine is disabled, qualified signals can still be evaluated without opening a visual trade model.
The one-active-model rule is a visual and analytical design choice.
It does not restrict the user’s personal trading activity.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ SAME-CANDLE TP / SL HANDLING
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Trade monitoring begins after the entry candle.
If a later historical candle touches both Stop and one or more targets, standard OHLC data does not reveal the exact intrabar sequence.
The indicator therefore provides two assumptions.
Stop First
If Stop and a target are both touched on the same candle, Stop is processed first.
This is the default and more conservative assumption.
Targets First
Reached targets are processed before Stop.
If TP3 is reached, the model closes at TP3.
Otherwise, remaining portions can close at Stop.
Neither mode reconstructs tick-level execution.
The indicator does not know:
• whether the high occurred before the low
• the bid/ask path
• actual fill sequence
• spread at the time
• slippage
• queue priority
• partial fills
The selected same-bar rule is a modeling assumption required by the limits of OHLC candles.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏷️ MACD MOMENTUM LABELS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator uses separate entry and result labels.
Entry labels display:
🚀 LONG
or:
🔴 SHORT
Entry Label Content provides:
Direction Only
Displays only LONG or SHORT.
Grade
Displays direction and setup grade.
Score + Grade
Displays direction, grade, and rounded composite score.
The default is Score + Grade.
LONG and SHORT label sizes can be adjusted independently.
Both default to Small.
The label tooltip contains:
• setup direction
• setup type
• setup grade
• composite score
• Momentum Quality Score
• Entry Qualification Score
• Market Regime Score
• trend-bias state
Result labels include:
🛑 SL
⚠️ CLOSED TP1
✅ CLOSED TP2
🏆 TP3 HIT
✅ FULL TARGET
SL, Closed TP1, and Closed TP2 transform the original entry label.
TP3 creates a separate result label and preserves the original entry label.
All chart-label text uses bold and italic formatting.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📍 MACD DISPLAY MODES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator operates in a separate MACD pane while selected trade visuals, entry labels, and the dashboard are forced onto the main price chart.
The MACD pane can display:
MACD Line
A white line representing the difference between the selected fast and slow averages.
Signal Line
A red line representing the selected signal smoothing.
Histogram
Color changes communicate momentum condition:
• stronger green for bullish expansion
• softer green for bullish contraction
• stronger red for bearish expansion
• softer red for bearish contraction
Histogram Visual Length
The default multiplier is 1.60.
This changes visual column length only.
It does not affect calculations.
Neon Signal Dots
Qualified LONG setups produce a neon green glow and center dot on the MACD line.
Qualified SHORT setups produce a neon red glow and center dot.
Momentum Background
The pane background changes according to strong or weak bullish and bearish momentum states.
Anti-Chop Background
A neutral gray background can identify conditions blocked by the Anti-Chop Engine.
Each major visual element can be shown or hidden independently.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧹 SETUP INVALIDATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Not every raw MACD event remains eligible.
A setup can be rejected or expire because:
• its momentum score is below the selected threshold
• trend bias does not permit the direction
• the market regime is below the active Anti-Chop threshold
• the Entry Qualification Score is insufficient
• candle direction does not support the setup
• MACD separation is insufficient
• directional persistence is insufficient
• the zero-line filter blocks the direction
• normalized histogram strength is too low
• the signal cooldown is active
• another visual trade is active
• a trade closed on the current candle
• Momentum Confirmed mode does not receive renewed expansion in time
• an opposite raw setup replaces the armed direction
The internal cooldown is eight bars.
Momentum Confirmed mode uses a temporary internal confirmation window.
These background controls are intentionally not exposed as advanced public inputs.
They remain part of the engine’s consistency rules.
A rejected event is not displayed as a permanent entry signal.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📟 DASHBOARD
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator includes a compact dashboard in the bottom-right corner of the main price chart.
The dashboard displays:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧪 HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A practical workflow:
1. Add MACD Momentum Entry Engine to a standard candlestick chart.
2. Begin with the default MACD values of 12, 26, and 9.
3. Keep Entry Timing on Early Trigger while learning the setup types.
4. Keep Momentum Quality on Strict for the default selective profile.
5. Keep Anti-Chop on Strict.
6. Keep Entry Qualification on Strict.
7. Observe whether the event is Reversal, Continuation, Zero Reclaim, or Expansion.
8. Review the MACD histogram, line relationship, and neon signal dot.
9. Review the main-chart LONG or SHORT label.
10. Open the label tooltip to inspect the scores and setup type.
11. Review Momentum, Trend, Regime, Trade, Last Result, and Protection in the dashboard.
12. Verify the selected risk model.
13. When using XAUUSD Fixed Pips, confirm XAUUSD VERIFIED.
14. Treat Entry, SL, TP1, TP2, and TP3 as planning references.
15. Use alerts for monitoring rather than blind execution.
16. Compare every setup with personal structure, session, volatility, and risk rules.
17. Test the exact symbol, timeframe, session, and data feed personally used.
The indicator is designed for structured review.
It should not be treated as an automatic decision-maker.

🧠 WHAT MAKES THIS SCRIPT ORIGINAL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
MACD, moving averages, ATR, ADX, and trend filters are familiar technical-analysis concepts.
These concepts are not unique by themselves.
The originality of MACD Momentum Entry Engine lies in the coordinated process applied to a MACD event:
Configurable MACD event
→ setup-type classification
→ adaptive momentum-strength baselines
→ five-component Momentum Quality Score
→ optional confirmed trend-bias layer
→ four-component Anti-Chop Regime Score
→ five-component Entry Qualification Score
→ final composite score and grade
→ zero-line and normalized-strength validation
→ confirmed-close signal
→ one-active multi-target trade lifecycle
→ TP3-only historical preservation
→ non-TP3 visual cleanup
→ dynamic alerts
→ main-chart diagnostic dashboard
→ XAUUSD mode verification
Distinctive implementation features include:
• four separate setup families

⚠️ IMPORTANT PRACTICAL NOTES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Signal frequency depends on:
• fast, slow, and signal lengths
• selected average types
• Entry Timing
• enabled setup families
• Momentum Quality mode
• Trend Bias mode
• EMA length
• higher timeframe
• EMA slope requirement
• price-to-EMA buffer
• Anti-Chop mode
• Entry Qualification mode
• zero-line filter
• absolute-strength threshold
• symbol
• timeframe
• session
• volatility
• available history
• data provider
• active-trade state
Strict modes reduce accepted signals.
They do not guarantee better results.
Trend Bias Off allows the momentum engine to evaluate both directions without EMA permission.
Higher Timeframe EMA and Combined EMA should use a timeframe meaningfully above the chart timeframe.
XAUUSD Fixed Pips is designed around a selectable pip convention.
The default 0.01 value may not match every broker or synthetic symbol.
Momentum Confirmed produces later and potentially fewer signals than Early Trigger.
Histogram Visual Length does not alter logic.
Changing settings recalculates historical signals and trade models.
A setup that looks different after changing the chart range may be affected by available historical data and adaptive baselines.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ LIMITATIONS AND SHORTCOMINGS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This script has important limitations:
It does not guarantee profitable trades.
It does not predict future price movement.
It does not execute orders.
It does not place broker stops or targets.
It does not include spread.
It does not include commission.
It does not include slippage.
It does not include latency.
It does not model partial fills.
It does not model financing or swap.
It uses bar-based OHLC data.
Historical candles do not reveal exact intrabar order.
Stop First and Targets First are assumptions.
The setup score is not a win probability.
A+ is not a guaranteed outcome.
The Anti-Chop Score cannot identify every ranging condition.
Trend filters can delay or block valid reversals.
Trend Bias Off can allow countertrend signals.
ATR normalization does not make settings universal.
Fixed-pip conventions can differ between brokers.
XAUUSD symbol detection cannot verify a broker’s contract specification.
The dashboard is not PulseWire Strategy Tester.
Data Window counters are not audited account performance.
The internal R model assumes three equal portions.
The internal model does not represent real position sizing.
One-active-trade logic is a visual-management rule.
Alert delivery depends on PulseWire and user configuration.
Changing settings changes historical calculations.
Changing symbol, exchange, session, timeframe, or feed can change signals.
Adaptive baselines depend on available chart history.
Confirmed higher-timeframe values reduce unfinished-HTF changes but introduce delay.
Permanent signals wait for candle close and therefore do not capture the earliest intrabar moment.
For these reasons, the indicator should be used as an educational decision-support tool, not as a standalone automated strategy.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧭 BEST PRACTICE SUGGESTIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For the default selective profile:
• use standard candlesticks
• begin with MACD 12 / 26 / 9
• keep Entry Timing on Early Trigger
• keep Momentum Quality on Strict
• keep Anti-Chop on Strict
• keep Entry Qualification on Strict
• keep the Zero-Line Filter on Trend Direction

BEDROCK Gated Macro Spot Cycle ModelBEDROCK condenses several independent long-term Bitcoin valuation models into a single transparent 0–100 score, then maps that score onto a seven-tier ladder running from deep value to cycle-top risk — with capitulation and euphoria gates that hold back the two most common false signals at each extreme. It is built for spot investors making multi-month and multi-year allocation decisions, not for short-term trading.
The reference card below shows how to read the model and how each tier behaves:
█ WHAT IT DOES
BEDROCK answers one question: where does price sit inside its macro cycle right now? Rather than a single oscillator, it scores a basket of slow-moving valuation measures, normalizes each to a common 0–100 "cheap → expensive" scale, blends them into a weighted composite, and classifies the result into an actionable tier with a suggested accumulation or distribution size. A higher composite means greater long-term value and lower risk; a lower composite means the market is stretched and risk is rising.
█ HOW IT WORKS
The composite is built from four independent blocs, any of which can be reweighted or disabled:
Trailing cost-basis bloc — price relative to the 200-week SMA, the 2-year SMA, and the 200-day SMA (Mayer Multiple). These three are deliberately collapsed into a single averaged, bounded factor so the moving-average family is represented once and cannot dominate the score through collinearity.
Drawdown from all-time high — how far price has fallen from its peak. The heaviest-weighted leg by default.
Weekly RSI — long-term momentum, as secondary confirmation.
MVRV Z-Score (optional) — an on-chain valuation leg you can enable and feed from an external source.
Each metric is mapped to 0–100 through its own linear calibration between a deep-value anchor and an expensive anchor, so every leg speaks the same language before being combined. Weights are auto-renormalized over whatever blocs are actually available — so the model stays coherent on early history where the 200-week isn't yet populated, or when MVRV is turned off. It simply reweights the parts it has.
█ THE TWO GATES — THE CORE IDEA
A raw valuation score has two classic failure modes: it screams "generational buy" on the first leg down of a bear market, and it screams "top" every time price gets mildly extended. BEDROCK addresses both with directional gates that only ever cap the tier toward the middle — they never fabricate a signal, and they never block the core accumulate or trim reads.
Capitulation gate (bottom) — the two deepest tiers stay locked until the market shows genuine capitulation. Generational requires a large drawdown from the all-time high (or a deeply negative MVRV-Z); Deep Accumulation requires price at or below its 200-week basis. Until then the score is capped at Accumulation, so you keep buying value without prematurely committing everything.
Euphoria gate (top) — the two riskiest tiers stay locked until multiple independent overheating signs agree across the 200-week multiple, weekly RSI, the Mayer Multiple, and MVRV-Z. Euphoria requires at least one confirmation; Cycle Top requires at least two. This is what stops the model from calling a top on every rally.
Because both gates only cap toward neutral, accumulation signals are never suppressed and trim signals are never suppressed. The gates restrain only the extreme calls, and only until the evidence is actually there.
█ READING THE INDICATOR
Composite line — the 0–100 score, colored by its current tier.
Background — shaded by tier for at-a-glance cycle context.
Threshold lines — the tier boundaries.
Markers — gated triangles mark transitions into accumulation tiers (up) and distribution tiers (down).
Data table — live composite, current tier, suggested action, both gate states, and every underlying metric (200W and 2Y multiples, Mayer, drawdown, weekly RSI, MVRV).
█ THE SEVEN TIERS
Generational Value — extremely rare deep value; aggressive accumulation.
Deep Accumulation — excellent value; size up.
Accumulation — good value; keep building.
Neutral / Hold — fairly valued; hold.
Expensive / Trim — above fair value; begin scaling out.
Euphoria / Distribute — high risk; distribute and protect profit.
Cycle Top / Exit — extreme; high-probability macro top.
Each tier also outputs a suggested DCA-in or trim-out multiplier, so the signal is sized rather than binary.
█ HOW TO USE IT
Use it on Bitcoin spot or index charts such as BITSTAMP:BTCUSD or $BINANCE:BTCUSDT.
Weekly is the primary timeframe; daily works as a secondary view.
Accumulate through tiers 1–3, hold in tier 4, scale down in tiers 5–6, and treat tier 7 as exit territory.
Built-in alerts fire on entry into each accumulation and distribution tier (gated).
█ WHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL
BEDROCK is not a single valuation ratio dressed up as an oscillator. The combination is the point: a transparent additive composite over independent metrics, a deliberate collinearity fix that collapses the moving-average family into one bounded bloc, a dual directional-gate system that suppresses the two most common false signals at both extremes without ever blocking the core reads, and sized accumulate/trim output instead of a bare number. Every metric, weight, calibration anchor, and gate threshold is exposed as an input, so the entire model is auditable and tunable — nothing is hidden.
█ NOTES & LIMITATIONS
BEDROCK is a long-horizon valuation tool, not a precise top/bottom timer and not a short-term trading system. It is designed to keep you positioned in the statistically favorable portion of the cycle, not to nail exact turns. Several display themes are included.

Adaptive Support & Resistance Pro with EMA Momentum Filter## Description
This indicator is an advanced tool designed to identify adaptive Support and Resistance (S/R) zones and combine them with an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) momentum filter. Unlike static S/R lines, this script uses a combination of momentum oscillators and dynamic pivot calculations to find high-probability reversal zones on higher or current timeframes.
The core philosophy of this indicator is to prevent "knife-catching." Instead of firing a signal immediately when a support or resistance level is formed, it waits for the price to confirm a change in momentum by crossing the EMA line in the direction of the trade.
---
## How It Works (Under the Hood)
### 1. Support & Resistance Detection
The script uses a multi-layered filter to detect true pivot points:
* **Legacy RSI & Modified RSI:** It evaluates overbought (>75) and oversold (<25) conditions using a 9-period Relative Strength Index.
* **Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) based on HMA:** It applies a 1-period CMO logic over Hull Moving Averages (HMA 5 and HMA 12) to detect immediate shifts in market velocity.
* **Close Pivots:** It uses deviation-free highest/lowest calculations (`ta.highest` and `ta.lowest`) combined with `ta.valuewhen` to fetch precise structural levels.
A **Support Zone** is formed only when the RSI is oversold, the CMO shows an upward momentum shift (>50), and a local low pivot is confirmed.
A **Resistance Zone** is formed when the RSI is overbought, the CMO shows a downward shift (<-50), and a local high pivot is confirmed.
### 2. S/R Timeframe Flexibility
Through the `request.security` function, users can plot these adaptive levels from higher timeframes (HTF) onto their current chart. To prevent **repainting** and back-shifting signals, the script strictly uses `barmerge.lookahead_off`.
### 3. EMA Momentum Trigger (The Confirmation Filter)
To filter out false breakouts and premature entries during heavy trend extensions, an EMA filter is introduced:
* **BUY Signal:** Triggered only when a new Support level has been established AND the price successfully closes above the EMA (`ta.crossover`).
* **SELL Signal:** Triggered only when a new Resistance level has been established AND the price successfully closes below the EMA (`ta.crossunder`).
**Strict Discipline:** The script uses an internal state machine (`waitForBuyBreak` / `waitForSellBreak`) ensuring that **only ONE signal** is fired per newly created S/R level. This completely eliminates the "whipsaw" effect (multiple false signals) when the price is consolidating or chopping around the moving average.
---
## Settings & Customization
* **Line Width / Colors:** Fully customize the visual thickness and color styling of your Support and Resistance zones.
* **S/R Timeframe:** Leave it blank for the current chart timeframe, or select higher timeframes (e.g., 4H or 1D) for macro level analysis.
* **Enable EMA Filter:** Toggle this option ON to use the momentum confirmation logic, or OFF to see signals immediately upon S/R level creation.
* **EMA Length:** Adjust the period of the confirmation line (Default is 50, but can be set to 20 for faster entries or 200 for macro trend-following).
---
## Alerts
The script includes three built-in alert conditions for automation:
1. `New S/R line` - Triggers whenever a new support or resistance level is plotted.
2. `BUY Signal` - Triggers when the EMA crossover confirms the support bounce.
3. `SELL Signal` - Triggers when the EMA crossunder confirms the resistance rejection.
