1D Exit Alerts"A Daily Exit LONG" + "B Daily Exit SHORT":
I'm not using this one anymore since they often make me worry more than necessary, and I focus more on aiming to reach specific price targets, or using the 5m Exit alerts instead.
Also swing trades require less time-sensitive operations than day trades, so for me personally they felt a bit redundant.
But maybe it helps some of you:
There are 4 conditions that trigger it. As with 5m Exit Alerts, the triggering reasons show up in the exit alert message (unfortunately only as a number, since alert messages can't have "dynamic text" in PulseWire).
Here are the conditions sorted from best to worst:
Gap Up / Down. Better check SPY and the stock whether a Gap Reversal is likely to happen (aka get out) or whether the stock will keep going higher / lower.
Earnings: End of day or Tomorrow morning. Alert is triggered at beginning of morning before earnings, and then again 15m before market close.
Mental stop loss: Broke daily EMA 8 or SMA - in the wrong direction....
Wrong direction: Broke below / above yesterday's Low / High. It's not immediately triggered, but only after re-touching VWAP again, to prevent too impulsive exits.
As with 5m Exit alerts: Always consider how the market and stock looks like, then decide whether to exit or not! These are meant to make you look at the chart, not to FOMO-exit.
"X Candle Close":
Same as in 1D Enter alert: Is triggered 15m before market close (I put it in here as well because I kept forgetting whether I put this one into Enter or Exit alerts...)

5m Exit AlertsThese can help a lot with Daytrading if you don't have a price target in mind when there's no clear resistance / support nearby, and you don't trust the market enough to hold it as a swing trade.
Keep in mind that its main purpose is to give you a "warning" that it might be good to look at your screen, instead of guaranteeing you "now is the best time to exit". You won't reach high winning stats by blindly following this alert.
"A Exit LONG":
(I'm using letters instead of numbers for all Exit alerts to make sure I don't accidentally confuse Enter and Exit alerts).
There are 4 conditions that might trigger it. The reasons show up in the exit alert message (unfortunately only as a number, since alert messages can't have "dynamic text" in PulseWire), and can also be displayed as symbols in the chart (see image above - make sure to enable "Show Signals" in the indicator settings first though).
Here are the conditions sorted from best to worst:
Technical reversal: Bearish Hammer candle with Volume > 2 * avg volume (of last 30 candles), when 5m candle closed. Reversal very likely. This is usually the best time to take your gains for the rest of the day.
EMA 3/8 cross: standard 5m EMA 3/8 cross, indicating a trend reversal, or at least a pullback. Can also be helpful to detect double tops / double bottoms.
Trailing Stop Loss: Crossed below 30m EMA 8, 5m candle closed. This is a "fallback" alert in case EMA 3 was already below EMA 8 before you set up the alert. It's not unlikely that the stock might go further down to VWAP, so depending on the chart and market this might be a good opportunity to save the gains you have left.
"Final" Stop Loss: Crossed below VWAP. Usually not a good sign. If you entered around VWAP your losses shouldn't be big yet, but if you plan on holding the stock the Daily chart and market outlook should better be quite convincing, and you wouldn't have needed to use this alert in the first place.
Keep in mind these work of course best if you picked a "good" stock: clear movement, tidy price action, high volume. Otherwise alerts are more likely to be triggered redundantly.
Always consider how the market and stock looks like, then decide whether to exit or not! Usually it makes sense to wait a bit to see f. e. whether the stock bounces off the 30m EMA 8, and it's just a pullback.
"B Enter SHORT":
Similar, but for shorts...
"C 1m Scalp LONG" + "D 1m Scalp SHORT":
Simple Scalping alert for EMA 3/8 cross on a 1m chart - but without needing to use a 1m chart to set it up!
Unfortunately it's not as accurate as manually setting this alert up on a 1m chart. It might be an advantage though that it sometimes is triggered 1-2 min later, since this means there are less redundant triggerings.
It can be useful esp. on high momentum trades, but I honestly haven't used it in a looong while.
"X Candle Close":
same as in 5m Entry indicator: triggered when 5m candle is confirmed
"Z Trend Change: UP" + "Z Trend Change: DOWN":
This one is meant to be used only on SPY: It alerts you when SPY is changing its trending direction, which might mean entering or closing existing trades.
I have therefore set it up to never end (by setting it to "Once Per Bar Close" in the alert settings).
It's based on DMI positive or negative being > 25. I had it based on VWAP at the beginning, but there were days where it was triggered every 5 minutes...

Algo + Trendlines :: Medium PeriodThis indicator helps me to avoid overlooking Trendlines / Algolines. So far it doesn't search explicitly for Algolines (I don't consider volume at all), but it's definitely now already not horribly bad.
These are meant to be used on logarithmic charts btw! The lines would be displayed wrong on linear charts.
The biggest challenge is that there are some technical restrictions in PulseWire, f. e. a script stops executing if a for-loop would take longer than 0.5 sec.
So in order to circumvent this and still be able to consider as many candles from the past as possible, I've created multiple versions for different purposes that I use like this:
Algo + Trendlines :: Medium Period : This script looks for "temporary highs / lows" (meaning the bar before and after has lower highs / lows) on the daily chart, connects them and shows the 5 ones that are the closest to the current price (=most relevant). This one is good to find trendlines more thoroughly, but only up to 4 years ago.
Algo + Trendlines :: Long Period : This version looks instead at the weekly charts for "temporary highs / lows" and finds out which days caused these highs / lows and connects them, Taking data from the weekly chart means fewer data points to check whether a trendline is broken, which allows to detect trendlines from up to 12 years ago! Therefore it misses some trendlines. Personally I prefer this one with "Only Confirmed" set to true to really show only the most relevant lines. This means at least 3 candle highs / lows touched the line. These are more likely stronger resistance / support lines compared to those that have been touched only twice.
Very important: sometimes you might see dotted lines that suddenly stop after a few months (after 100 bars to be precise). This indicates you need to zoom further out for PulseWire to be able to load the full line. Unfortunately PulseWire doesn't render lines if the starting point was too long ago, so this is my workaround. This is also the script's biggest advantage: showing you lines that you might have missed otherwise since the starting bars were outside of the screen, and required you to scroll f. e back to 2015..
One more thing to know:
Weak colored line = only 2 "collision" points with candle highs/lows (= not confirmed)
Usual colored line = 3+ "collision" points (= confirmed)
Make sure to move this indicator above the ticker in the Object Tree, so that it is drawn on top of the ticker's candles!
