GK Trend Ribbon DAY + EMA200

GK Trend Ribbon DAY + EMA200

HOW IT WORKS

At its core, the script uses a lag-corrected EMA (Zero-Lag style source) to form the central trend line. Around this baseline, upper and lower bands are calculated using ATR(14) multiplied by a user-defined factor.
A trend state is only confirmed when price shows acceptance beyond the volatility band for three consecutive closes, aligned with the slope of the baseline:
Bullish State:
Price closes above the upper band for three bars while the baseline is rising.
Bearish State:
Price closes below the lower band for three bars while the baseline is falling.
If neither condition is met, the previous state is maintained to avoid unnecessary flips during consolidation.
This structure helps filter chop and prevents frequent signal changes in ranging markets.
Timeframe Guidance (Creator’s Pick)
For the cleanest results and least noise, this indicator is best used with the following timeframe hierarchy:
1H (Primary timeframe)
The main chart for this indicator. It offers the best balance between structure and responsiveness and is ideal for defining trade bias.
3H (Higher-timeframe confirmation)
Excellent for smoother trend states and holding directional moves with fewer interruptions.
30M (Secondary timing chart)
A good middle ground when the 1H is slow, while still maintaining clarity.
5M and 1M (Execution timeframes)
Best used for entries only when aligned with the 1H or 3H trend state. These lower timeframes provide faster signals but carry more noise if traded without higher-timeframe confirmation.
A simple workflow is to define direction on 3H → 1H, refine timing on 30M, and execute on 5M or 1M in the direction of the confirmed ribbon state.
Signals & Visuals
