IKH Cloud V1.0 (nextSignals)The IKH Cloud V1.0 (nextSignals) is an Ichomoku-type indicator that can be used for various trading strategies. It's based on a ThinkScript study from @stephenharlinmd (aka nextSignals) that uses an instantaneous moving average as the base MA, and a custom trailing stop. Both of these components form the cloud.
Indicator Components and Calculation
The indicator comprises two key components:
Instantaneous Moving Average (IMA) : This is a type of moving average that places a greater weight on the most recent data points, and is based on Ehler's book "Rocket Science for Traders". This is slightly different from the Doc's original, but is very approximate.
Trailing Stop : This component helps determine the stop loss level that moves along with the price. The trailing stop is based on the highest high and the lowest low of the last 5 bars, as well as the simple moving averages of the low and high of the previous bar. The trailing stop is calculated separately for each condition: when the bar index is greater than 1 and when the previous 'a' variable is either 1 or 0.
These two components are used to create a filled area on the chart, also known as the 'cloud'. The color of the cloud and the candlesticks change based on the relative positions of the IMA and the trailing stop.
How to Use the Indicator
The following are just ideas on how to use this indicator, and is not financial advice in any form:
Trend Identification: When the IMA is above the trailing stop (cloud), it indicates an uptrend, and when it's below, it indicates a downtrend.
Entry/Exit Signals: Traders can consider going long when the candlesticks move above the cloud and short when they move below the cloud.
Stop Loss Level: The trailing stop line (the cloud's edge) can serve as a dynamic stop loss level.
Please don't use just this indicator on its own. Please use this in conjunction with other analysis tools, indicators, and systems you already have in place. Always consider the overall market context and use appropriate risk management strategies.

Volume Shaded CandlesDescription:
The Volume Shaded Candles indicator (VSC) is a technical analysis tool designed to represent price candles on a chart with transparency based on the volume traded during each candle. This overlay indicator enhances visual analysis by providing a visual representation of volume intensity.
How it Works:
The VSC indicator calculates the volume-to-transparency ratio by dividing the current volume by the highest volume within the last 10 periods. The ratio is then used to determine the shading intensity of the price candles. Higher volume relative to the recent highest volume results in lower transparency, while lower volume results in higher transparency.
Usage:
To effectively utilize the Volume Shaded Candles indicator, follow these steps:
1. Apply the Volume Shaded Candles indicator to your chart by adding it from the available indicators.
2. Configure the indicator's inputs:
- Specify the color for bullish candles using the "Bullish Color" input.
- Specify the color for bearish candles using the "Bearish Color" input.
3. Observe the shaded candles on the chart:
- Bullish candles are colored with the specified bullish color and shaded according to the volume intensity.
- Bearish candles are colored with the specified bearish color and shaded according to the volume intensity.
4. Interpret the shaded candles:
- Darker shading indicates higher volume during the corresponding candle.
- Lighter shading indicates lower volume during the corresponding candle.
5. Combine the analysis of shaded candles with other technical analysis tools, such as trend lines, support and resistance levels, or candlestick patterns, to identify potential trade setups.
6. Implement appropriate risk management strategies, including setting stop-loss orders and position sizing, to manage your trades effectively and protect your capital.
Price Action [Morty]This price action indicator uses the higher timeframe SSL channel to identify trends.
The long entry signal is a bullish candlestick pattern when the price retraces to EMA20 in an uptrend.
The short entry signal is a bearish candlestick pattern when the price retraces to the EMA20 in a downrend.
Currently, this indicator shows engulfing patterns, pin bar patterns, 2 bar reversal patterns and harami patterns.
It also shows a volatility squeeze signal when the Bollinger bands is within the Kelter channels.
The buy and sell signal can also be filter by the ADX indicator greater than a threshold.
You can set your stoploss to the previous low/high when you go long/short.
The risk/reward ratio could be 1 to 1.5.
This indicator can be used in any market.
Cycle-Synced Channel Breakout📌 Cycle-Synced Channel Breakout – Detect Breakouts Confirmed by Candles and Momentum Cycles
📖 Overview
The Cycle-Synced Channel Breakout indicator is a precision breakout detection tool that combines the power of:
• Adaptive Keltner Channels
• Dominant Cycle Period Analysis (Ehlers-inspired)
• Candlestick Pattern Recognition (Engulfing)
This multi-layered approach helps identify true breakout opportunities by filtering out noise and false signals, making it ideal for swing traders and intraday traders seeking high-probability directional moves.
⚙️ How It Works
1. Keltner Channel Envelope
A dynamic volatility channel based on the EMA and ATR defines the upper and lower bounds of price movement.
2. Engulfing Candle Detection
The script detects strong bullish and bearish engulfing patterns, which often signal trend reversals or momentum continuations.
3. Dominant Cycle Momentum (Ehlers-inspired)
Using a smoothed power oscillator derived from a detrended price series, the indicator assesses whether momentum is accelerating during the breakout — filtering out weak moves.
4. Signal Confirmation Logic
A signal is only shown when:
• An engulfing pattern is detected, and
• Price breaks out of the Keltner Channel, and
• Momentum (cycle power) is rising
5. Visual Feedback
• Breakout signals are plotted with “BUY” or “SELL” labels
• Faded green/red background highlights confirmed breakouts
• Optional display of engulfing candles with triangle markers

Reason: MA crossovers and custom price alerts can generate false signals in choppy, range-bound markets, leading to whipsaws.
Alternative: Use oscillators like RSI or Bollinger Bands to trade within ranges.
This indicator is tailored more towards less experienced traders. And as always, paper trade until you are comfortable with how this works if you're unfamiliar with trading! We hope you enjoy this and have great success. Thanks for your interested in Easy MA Signals!
Candle Emotion Index (CEI) StrategyThe Candle Emotion Index (CEI) Strategy is an innovative sentiment-based trading approach designed to help traders identify and capitalize on market psychology. By analyzing candlestick patterns and combining them into a unified metric, the CEI Strategy provides clear entry and exit signals while dynamically managing risk. This strategy is ideal for traders looking to leverage market sentiment to identify high-probability trading opportunities.
How It Works
The CEI Strategy is built around three core oscillators that reflect key emotional states in the market:
Indecision Oscillator . Measures market uncertainty using patterns like Doji and Spinning Tops. High values indicate hesitation, signaling potential turning points.
Fear Oscillator . Tracks bearish sentiment through patterns like Shooting Star, Hanging Man, and Bearish Engulfing. Helps identify moments of intense selling pressure.
Greed Oscillator . Detects bullish sentiment using patterns like Marubozu, Hammer, Bullish Engulfing, and Three White Soldiers. Highlights periods of strong buying interest.
These oscillators are averaged into the Candle Emotion Index (CEI):
CEI = (Indecision + Fear + Greed) / 3
This single value quantifies overall market sentiment and drives the strategy’s trading decisions.
Key Features
Sentiment-Based Trading Signals . Long Entry: Triggered when the CEI crosses above a lower threshold (e.g., 0.1), indicating increasing bullish sentiment. Short Entry: Triggered when the CEI crosses above a higher threshold (e.g., 0.2), signaling rising bearish sentiment.
Volume Confirmation . Trades are validated only if volume exceeds a user-defined multiplier of the average volume over the lookback period. This ensures entries are backed by significant market activity.
Break-Even Recovery Mechanism . If a trade moves into a loss, the strategy attempts to recover to break-even instead of immediately exiting at a loss. This feature provides flexibility, allowing the market to recover while maintaining disciplined risk management.
Dynamic Risk Management . Maximum Holding Period: Trades are closed after a user-defined number of candles to avoid overexposure to prolonged uncertainty. Profit-Taking Conditions: Positions are exited when favorable price moves are confirmed by increased volume, locking in gains. Loss Threshold: Trades are exited early if the price moves unfavorably beyond a set percentage of the entry price, limiting potential losses.
Cooldown Period . After a trade is closed, a cooldown period prevents immediate re-entry, reducing overtrading and improving signal quality.
Why Use This Strategy?
The CEI Strategy combines advanced sentiment analysis with robust trade management, making it a powerful tool for traders seeking to understand market psychology and identify high-probability setups. Its unique features, such as the break-even recovery mechanism and volume confirmation, add an extra layer of discipline and reliability to trading decisions.
Best Practices
Combine with Other Indicators . Use trend-following tools (e.g., moving averages, ADX) and momentum oscillators (e.g., RSI, MACD) to confirm signals.
Align with Key Levels . Incorporate support and resistance levels for refined entries and exits.
Multi-Market Compatibility . Apply this strategy to forex, crypto, stocks, or any asset class with strong volume and price action.

Strong Pullback Indicator [Rami_LB]Strong Pullback Indicator
Description:
The Strong Pullback Indicator is designed to identify potential pullbacks or even trend reversals by utilizing a specific candlestick pattern in conjunction with the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It is advised to employ this indicator in chart intervals of 15 minutes or higher, as intervals below 15 minutes may generate excessive false signals.
Working Mechanism:
Upon detecting the designated candlestick pattern, the indicator examines whether any of the last five candles exhibit RSI values below 30 or above 70 across at least four distinct time intervals, depending on whether the pattern is bullish or bearish. The RSI calculations incorporate eight different intervals: 1 minute (1m), 5 minutes (5m), 15 minutes (15m), 30 minutes (30m), 1 hour (1h), 2 hours (2h), 4 hours (4h), and 1 day (1d). An arrow is rendered above or below the current candle only when these conditions are met.
Users have the option to adjust the number of overbought or oversold intervals, as well as the general settings for the RSI.
SL/TP Lines:
The indicator can also serve as a trade signal to initiate trades in the opposite direction. To evaluate the potential success of a trade in a backtesting scenario, SL (Stop Loss) and TP (Take Profit) lines can be displayed on the chart. The SL is calculated by taking the distance from the close of the current candle to the high/low of the previous candle and multiplying it by 2.
In the settings, you can alter the Risk Reward Ratio (RRR) of the trade. Given the pullback nature of this indicator, a RRR of 1:1 is deemed logical, thus set as the default value.
Bullish vs. Bearish Candle Counter:
An additional feature of this indicator is its ability to analyze the last 100 candles to ascertain the ratio of bullish to bearish candles. When a 60% threshold is reached, the chart background color alters accordingly. This feature was conceived after a thorough analysis of over 50,000 candles of a currency pair revealed nearly identical counts of bullish and bearish candles, suggesting a market tendency to maintain this balance.
Within the settings, you have the flexibility to modify the number of candles to be analyzed and the percentage threshold for each candle type.
Should you have any ideas on how to enhance the accuracy of this indicator, or suggestions for other indicators that could improve the signals, feel free to leave a comment.
Liquidity Spike PoolThe “Liquidity Pools” indicator is a tool for market analysts that stands out for its ability to clearly project the intricate zones of manipulation present in financial markets. These crucial territories emerge when supply or demand takes over, resulting in long shadows (wicks) on the chart candles. Imagine these regions as "magnets" for prices, as they represent authentic "liquidity pools" where the flow of money into the market is significantly concentrated. But the value of the indicator goes beyond this simple visualization: these zones, when identified and interpreted correctly, can play a crucial role for traders looking for profitable entry points. They can mutate into important bastions of support or resistance, providing traders with key anchor points to make informed decisions within their trading strategies.
A key aspect to consider is the importance of different time frames in analyzing markets. Larger time frames, such as daily or 4h, tend to host larger and more relevant liquidity zones. Therefore, a successful strategy might involve identifying these areas of manipulation over longer time frames through the use of this indicator, and then applying these findings to shorter time frames. This approach allows you to turn manipulation zones into crucial reference points that merit constant surveillance while making trading decisions on shorter time frames.
The indicator uses color to convey information clearly and effectively:
- Dark blue lines highlight candles with significant upper wick, signaling the possible presence of an important manipulation area in the considered area.
- Dark red lines are reserved for sizable candlesticks with significant upper wick, emphasizing situations that are particularly relevant to traders.
- Dark gray lines highlight candles with significant lower wick, providing a valuable indication of manipulation zones where the bid may have prevailed.
- White lines highlight sizable candlesticks with significant lower wick, clearly indicating situations where demand has been predominant and may have helped form a liquidity pool.
This indicator constitutes an important resource for identifying and clearly displaying candles with significant wicks, allowing traders to distinguish between ordinary market conditions and circumstances particularly relevant to their trading strategies. Thanks to the distinctive colors of the lines, the indicator offers intuitive visual guidance, allowing traders to make more informed decisions while carrying out their analyses.
Engulfing and emaThis is a Pine Script script that helps you see the Engulfing Candlestick and Inside Bar (Boring Candle) candle patterns on the TradingView chart, as well as drawing two Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). Here's a simple explanation:
1. **Candle Pattern**:
- This script identifies the Engulfing Candlestick pattern, which indicates potential changes to the price. If this pattern is detected, the script will show a green (for buy) or red (for sell) arrow above or below that candle.
- The script also identifies the Inside Bar (Boring Candle), which indicates the period area in the market. This candle will be the color you choose (default is orange).
2. **Moving Average (EMA)**:
- This script also plots two Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) on the chart. EMA is a tool that helps you see price trends more clearly.
3. **Risk Management**:
- This script calculates the Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels for each Engulfing pattern. This helps you manage your trading risks.
- Labels are displayed on the charts for SL and TP, so you know where to place them.
With the help of this script, you can easily identify important patterns in the market and manage your risks better. Make sure to choose a demo account before using it in real trading.
FOREX MASTER PATTERN Companion ToolWhat This Indicator Does
The Forex Master Pattern uses candlesticks, which provide more information than line, OHLC or area charts. For this reason, candlestick patterns are a useful tool for gauging price movements on all time frames. While there are many candlestick patterns, there is one which is particularly useful...
The Engulfing Pattern
An engulfing pattern provides an excellent trading opportunity because it can be easily spotted and the price action indicates a strong and immediate change in direction. In a downtrend, an up candle real body will completely engulf the prior down candle real body (bullish engulfing). In an uptrend a down candle real body will completely engulf the prior up candle real body (bearish engulfing).
Used in conjunction with the FOREX Master Pattern value line, the Engulfing Pattern can assist the trader with reversal timing or trend confirmation during the expansion and trend phases.
As shown in the screenshot below. Engulfing Candles usually precede a sharp move in price in the direction of the engulfing candle.
As shown in the screenshot below, when the Show Lines option is ON while using the indicator, both red and green lines are drawn on the chart automatically when engulfing candles form. These lines are projected forward 100 bars and tend to be reliable support and resistance areas. These areas are typically hidden from view.
In addition to the Show Lines option, the indicator (by default) creates boxes around trading zones that are created when an engulfing candle is formed. (There is an option to hide these from view if desired).
As seen in the screenshot below, these areas / zones are wider than a line and encompass a resistance / support zone rather than a specific price. Liquidity is usually high in these areas and a lot of selling / buying occurs here. These zones are drawn in advance out into the future giving the trader an idea of where price will revert to eventually.
A combination of LINES and AREAS can be used giving the user a better idea of where within the zone price will go.
As seen on the screenshot below, this combination provides a pretty accurate indication of the reversal point well in advance.
As seen in the screenshot below, when a ZONE / AREA has been fully breached (crossed) by price, the area is deactivated an no longer continues forward on the chart. Until price breaches an area, it remains valid and continues on the chart until and only if it is breached by price.
The Indicator is fully customizable.
The use can change the color of the engulfing candles, the color of the zones, transparency etc. You can turn OFF or ON any of the features such as lines, zones, bar coloring, and plotted arrows.
I really hope you get value from this indicator and... HAPPY TRADING!!

Circular Candlestick ChartAn original (but impractical) way to represent a candlestick chart using circles arc.
The most recent candles are further away from the circle origin. Note that OHLC values follow a clockwise direction. A higher arc length would indicate candles with a higher body or wick range.
The Length settings determine the number of past candles to be included in the circular candlestick chart. The Width setting control the width of the circular chart. The Spacing setting controls the space between each arcs. Finally, the Precision settings allow obtaining a more precise representation of candles, with lower values returning more precise results, however, more precision requires a higher amount of lines. Settings are quite hard to adjust, using a higher length might require a lower spacing value.
Additionally, the script includes two pointers indicating the location of the 75 (in blue) and 25 (in orange) percentiles. This allows obtaining an estimate of the current market sentiment, with the most recent arcs laying closer to the 75 percentile pointer indicating an up-trend.
This new way to represent candlesticks might be useful to more easily identify candles clusters or to find new price patterns. Who knows, we know that new ways to see prices always stimulate traders imagination.
See you next year.

Zigzag CandlesCan't deny that I am obsessed with zigzags. Been doing some crazy experiments with it and have many more in pipeline. I believe zigzag can be used to derive better trend following methods. Here is an attempt to visualize zigzag as candlesticks. Next steps probably to derive moving average, atr (although there was an attempt of AZR made earlier) and probably supertrend too ;)
Input parameters include ZigzagLength (to calculate zigzag) and CandleSize (number of zigzag pivots in each candle)
CandleSize can be 3 or more. Every time we collect pivots which are equal to CandleSize, we derive one candle. And when we derive a candle, we remove all old pivots except the last one. Becauase, the last pivot acts as open to the next bar and is required.
Body of the candle tells the start and end zigzag pivot in the range. And Wicks signify highest and lowest pivots in the range. High and Low wicks are placed at the pivot where high and lows are formed. Hence, you can see them at different positions each time.
Thanks to @RicardoSantos for suggesting boxes for candles - while I was trying to achieve this with plotbar

Renko CandlesticksRenko charts are awesome . They reduce noise by only painting a brick on the chart when price moves by a specified amount up/down. When the price reverses, it must go twice the specified amount before a brick is painted. Time is not a factor, just price movement. Sometimes however, you want the pros of a renko chart, but on a regular candlestick chart. This indicator attempts to do just that.
A band is placed around price action showing the upper and lower bounds of what would be the current renko brick. The band only goes up/down when the price action itself moves up/down by the amount you specify. There are several ways of specifying the amount:
Fixed Price Amount: As the name says, you enter the brick size amount, i.e. the amount the price has to move before being in a new brick.
% of Price: This method will calculate the amount the price has to move as a percentage of the price itself. This way as price goes up/down, your brick size will adjust accordingly. Recommended values would be around 1% or less.
% of ATR: This option will make the brick size a percentage of the Average True Range. You can specify the ATR time frame to be different from your current time frame as well as the ATR length. For instance you could be on a 10 minute chart but specify the ATR to be daily with a length of 3 and a percentage amount of 15. This would make your brick size 15% of the Average True Range for the last 3 days. Recommended values are 10 to 20%.
Use this indicator on any time frame, even the 1 minute as the renko bands span the price action the same way on any time frame easily letting you know whether or not the price has moved appreciably, regardless of how much time has passed.
You can also set alerts easily, simply set the alert to crossing and choose “Renko Candlesticks” instead of “Value”. You will then see the options for the renko upper and lower bounds.
Tested on Bitcoin with the following values:
Fixed Price Amount: 30 ($30)
% of Price: 0.45 (if Bitcoin is $7000 then the brick size would be $31.50)
% of ATR: 15%, ATR Time Frame: 1D, ATR Length: 3 (3 days)
MA SMART Angle
### 📊 WHAT IS MA SMART ANGLE?
**MA SMART Angle** is an advanced momentum and trend detection indicator that analyzes the angles (slopes) of multiple moving averages to generate clear, non-repainting BUY and SELL signals.
**Original Concept Credit:** This indicator builds upon the "MA Angles" concept originally created by **JD** (also known as Duyck). The core angle calculation methodology and Jurik Moving Average (JMA) implementation by **Everget** are preserved from the original open-source work. The angle calculation formula was contributed by **KyJ**. This enhanced version is published with respect to the open-source nature of the original indicator.
Original indicator reference: "ma angles - JD" by Duyck
---
## 🎯 ORIGINALITY & VALUE PROPOSITION
### **What Makes This Different from the Original:**
While the original "MA Angles" by **JD** provided excellent angle visualization, it lacked actionable entry signals. **MA SMART Angle** addresses this by adding:
**1. Clear Entry/Exit Signals**
- Explicit BUY/SELL arrows based on angle crossovers, momentum confirmation, and MA alignment
- No guessing when to enter trades - the indicator tells you exactly when conditions align
**2. Non-Repainting Logic**
- All signals use confirmed historical data (shifted by 2 bars minimum)
- Critical for backtesting reliability and live trading confidence
- Original indicator could repaint signals on current bar
**3. Dual Signal System**
- **Simple Mode:** More frequent signals based on angle crossovers + momentum (for active traders)
- **Strict Mode:** Requires full multi-MA alignment + momentum confirmation (for conservative traders)
- Adaptable to different trading styles and risk tolerances
**4. Smart Signal Filtering**
- **Anti-spam cooldown:** Prevents duplicate signals within configurable bar count
- **No-trade zone detection:** Filters out low-conviction sideways markets automatically
- **Multi-timeframe MA alignment:** Ensures all moving averages agree on direction before signaling
**5. Enhanced Visualization**
- Large, clear BUY/SELL arrows with descriptive labels
- Color-coded backgrounds for market states (trending vs. ranging)
- Momentum histogram showing acceleration/deceleration in real-time
- Live status table displaying trend strength, angle value, momentum, and MA alignment
**6. Professional Alert System**
- Four distinct alert conditions: BUY Signal, SELL Signal, Strong BUY, Strong SELL
- Enables automated trade notifications and strategy integration
**7. Modified MA Periods**
- Original used EMA(27), EMA(83), EMA(278)
- Enhanced version uses faster EMA(3), EMA(8), EMA(13) for more responsive signals
- Better suited for modern volatile markets and shorter timeframes
---
## 📐 HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
### **Core Methodology:**
The indicator calculates angles (slopes) for five key moving averages:
- **JMA (Jurik Moving Average)** - Smooth, lag-reduced trend line (original implementation by **Everget**)
- **JMA Fast** - Responsive momentum indicator with higher power parameter
- **MA27 (EMA 3)** - Primary fast-moving average for signal generation
- **MA83 (EMA 8)** - Medium-term trend confirmation
- **MA278 (EMA 13)** - Slower trend filter
### **Angle Calculation Formula (by KyJ):**
```
angle = arctan((MA - MA ) / ATR(14)) × (180 / π)
```
**Why ATR normalization?**
- Makes angles comparable across different instruments (forex, stocks, crypto)
- Makes angles comparable across different timeframes
- Accounts for volatility - a 10-point move in different assets has different significance
**Angle Interpretation:**
- **> 15°** = Strong trend (momentum accelerating)
- **0° to 15°** = Weak trend (momentum present but moderate)
- **-2° to +2°** = No-trade zone (sideways/choppy market)
- **< -15°** = Strong downtrend
### **Signal Generation Logic:**
#### **BUY Signal Conditions:**
1. MA27 angle crosses above 0° (upward momentum initiates)
2. All three EMAs (3, 8, 13) pointing upward (trend alignment confirmed)
3. Momentum is positive for 2+ bars (acceleration, not deceleration)
4. Angle exceeds minimum threshold (not in no-trade zone)
5. Cooldown period passed (prevents signal spam)
#### **SELL Signal Conditions:**
1. MA27 angle crosses below 0° (downward momentum initiates)
2. All three EMAs pointing downward (downtrend alignment)
3. Momentum is negative for 2+ bars
4. Angle below negative threshold (not in no-trade zone)
5. Cooldown period passed
#### **Strong BUY+ / SELL+ Signals:**
Additional entry opportunities when JMA Fast crosses JMA Slow while maintaining strong directional angle - indicates momentum acceleration within established trend.

## 🔧 HOW TO USE
### **Recommended Settings by Trading Style:**
**Scalpers / Day Traders:**
- Signal Type: **Simple**
- Minimum Angle: **3-5°**
- Cooldown Bars: **3-5 bars**
- Timeframes: 1m, 5m, 15m
**Swing Traders:**
- Signal Type: **Strict**
- Minimum Angle: **7-10°**
- Cooldown Bars: **8-12 bars**
- Timeframes: 1H, 4H, Daily
**Position Traders:**
- Signal Type: **Strict**
- Minimum Angle: **10-15°**
- Cooldown Bars: **15-20 bars**
- Timeframes: Daily, Weekly
### **Parameter Descriptions:**
**1. Source** (default: OHLC4)
- Price data used for MA calculations
- OHLC4 provides smoothest angles
- Close is more responsive but noisier
**2. Threshold for No-Trade Zones** (default: 2°)
- Angles below this are considered sideways/ranging
- Increase for stricter filtering of choppy markets
- Decrease to allow signals in quieter trending periods
**3. Signal Type** (Simple vs. Strict)
- **Simple:** Angle crossover OR (trend + momentum)
- **Strict:** Angle crossover AND all MAs aligned AND momentum confirmed
- Start with Simple, switch to Strict if too many false signals
**4. Minimum Angle for Signal** (default: 5°)
- Only generate signals when angle exceeds this threshold
- Higher values = stronger trends required
- Lower values = more sensitive to momentum changes
**5. Cooldown Bars** (default: 5)
- Minimum bars between consecutive signals
- Prevents spam during volatile chop
- Scale with your timeframe (higher TF = more bars)
**6. Color Bars** (default: true)
- Colors chart bars based on signal state
- Green = bullish conditions, Red = bearish conditions
- Can disable if you prefer clean price bars
**7. Background Colors**
- **Yellow background** = No-trade zone (low angle, ranging market)
- **Green flash** = BUY signal generated
- **Red flash** = SELL signal generated
- All customizable or can be disabled

- **Thin Green/Red Line** = MA278 angle (slow trend filter)
- **Aqua/Orange Line** = JMA Fast (momentum detector)
- **Green/Red Area** = JMA slope (overall trend context)
- **Blue/Purple Histogram** = Momentum (angle acceleration/deceleration)
**Signal Arrows:**
- **Large Green ▲ "BUY"** = Primary buy signal (all conditions met)
- **Small Green ▲ "BUY+"** = Strong momentum buy (JMA fast cross)
- **Large Red ▼ "SELL"** = Primary sell signal (all conditions met)
- **Small Red ▼ "SELL+"** = Strong momentum sell (JMA fast cross)
**Status Table (Top Right):**
- **Angle:** Current MA27 angle in degrees

- **Momentum:** Acceleration state (ACCEL UP/DN, Up/Down)
- **MAs:** Alignment status (ALL UP/DOWN, Mixed)
- **Zone:** Trading zone status (ACTIVE vs. NO TRADE)
- **Last:** Bars since last signal
### **Trading Strategies:**
**Strategy 1: Pure Signal Following**
- Enter LONG on BUY signal
- Exit on SELL signal
- Use stop-loss at recent swing low/high
- Works best on trending instruments
**Strategy 2: Confirmation with Price Action**
- Wait for BUY signal + bullish candlestick pattern
- Wait for SELL signal + bearish candlestick pattern
- Increases win rate by filtering premature signals
- Recommended for beginners
**Strategy 3: Momentum Acceleration**
- Use BUY+/SELL+ signals for adding to positions
- Only take these in direction of primary signal
- Scalp quick moves during momentum spikes
- For experienced traders
**Strategy 4: Mean Reversion in No-Trade Zones**

- This shows the *rate of change* (velocity) of MAs
- Teaches traders to think in terms of momentum acceleration
**2. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation**
- Shows how fast, medium, and slow MAs interact
- Demonstrates importance of trend alignment
- Helps develop patience for high-probability setups
**3. Signal Quality vs. Quantity Tradeoff**
- Simple mode = more signals, more noise
- Strict mode = fewer signals, higher quality
