CT Moving Average Crossover IndicatorMoving Average Crossover Indicator
Here I present a moving average indicator with 9 user definable moving averages from which up to 5 pairs can be selected to show what prices would need to be closed at on the current bar to cross each individual pair.
I have put much emphasis here on simplicity of setting the parameters of the moving averages, selecting the crossover pairs and on the clarity of the displayed information in the optional “Moving Average Crossover Level” Information Box.
What Is a Moving Average (MA)?
According to Investopedia - “In statistics, a moving average is a calculation used to analyze data points by creating a series of averages of different subsets of the full data set.
In finance, a moving average (MA) is a stock indicator that is commonly used in technical analysis. The reason for calculating the moving average of a stock is to help smooth out the price data by creating a constantly updated average price.
By calculating the moving average, the impacts of random, short-term fluctuations on the price of a stock over a specified time-frame are mitigated.”
The user can set the color, type (SMA/EMA) and length of each of the 9 moving averages.
Then the user may choose 5 pairs of moving averages from the set of 9.
The script will then calculate the price needed to be crossed by the close of the current bar in order to crossover each of the user defined pairs and outputs the results as optional lineplots and/or an Infobox which shows the relevant information in a very clear way.
The user may switch the moving averages, crossover lineplots and infobox on and off easily with one click boxes in the settings menu.
The number of decimal places shown in the Infobox can be altered in the settings menu.
If the price required to cross a pair of moving averages is zero or less, the crossover level will display “Impossible” and the plots will plot at zero. (this helps ameliorate chart auto-focus issues)
Quoting a variety of online resources …….
Understanding Moving Averages (MA)
Moving averages are a simple, technical analysis tool. Moving averages are usually calculated to identify the trend direction of a stock or to determine its support and resistance levels. It is a trend-following—or lagging—indicator because it is based on past prices.
The longer the time period for the moving average, the greater the lag. So, a 200-day moving average will have a much greater degree of lag than a 20-day MA because it contains prices for the past 200 days. The 50-day and 200-day moving average figures for stocks are widely followed by investors and traders and are considered to be important trading signals.
Moving averages are a totally customizable indicator, which means that an investor can freely choose whatever time frame they want when calculating an average. The most common time periods used in moving averages are 15, 20, 30, 50, 100, and 200 days. The shorter the time span used to create the average, the more sensitive it will be to price changes. The longer the time span, the less sensitive the average will be.
Investors may choose different time periods of varying lengths to calculate moving averages based on their trading objectives. Shorter moving averages are typically used for short-term trading, while longer-term moving averages are more suited for long-term investors.
There is no correct time frame to use when setting up your moving averages. The best way to figure out which one works best for you is to experiment with a number of different time periods until you find one that fits your strategy.
Predicting trends in the stock market is no simple process. While it is impossible to predict the future movement of a specific stock, using technical analysis and research can help you make better predictions.
A rising moving average indicates that the security is in an uptrend, while a declining moving average indicates that it is in a downtrend. Similarly, upward momentum is confirmed with a bullish crossover, which occurs when a short-term moving average crosses above a longer-term moving average. Conversely, downward momentum is confirmed with a bearish crossover, which occurs when a short-term moving average crosses below a longer-term moving average.
Types of Moving Averages
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
The simplest form of a moving average, known as a simple moving average (SMA), is calculated by taking the arithmetic mean of a given set of values. In other words, a set of numbers–or prices in the case of financial instruments–are added together and then divided by the number of prices in the set.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
The exponential moving average is a type of moving average that gives more weight to recent prices in an attempt to make it more responsive to new information.
To calculate an EMA, you must first compute the simple moving average (SMA) over a particular time period. Next, you must calculate the multiplier for weighting the EMA (referred to as the "smoothing factor"), which typically follows the formula: 2/(selected time period + 1). So, for a 20-day moving average, the multiplier would be 2/(20+1)= 0.0952. Then you use the smoothing factor combined with the previous EMA to arrive at the current value.
The EMA thus gives a higher weighting to recent prices, while the SMA assigns equal weighting to all values.

Bollinger Bands Trending Reverse StrategyWelcome to yet another script. This script was a lot easier since I was stuck for so long on the Donchian Channels one and learned so much from that one that I could use in this one.
This code should be a lot cleaner compared to the Donchian Channels, but we'll leave that up to the pro's.
This strategy has two entry signals, long = when price hits lower band, while above EMA, previous candle was bearish and current candle is bullish.
Short = when price hits upper band, while below EMA, previous candle was bullish and current candle is bearish.
Take profits are the opposite side's band(lower band for long signals, upper band for short signals). This means our take profit price will change per bar.
Our stop loss doesn't change, it's the difference between entry price and the take profit target divided by the input risk reward.
Stacked Moving AveragesThe Stacked Moving Averages indicator lets you see if a ticker is in an uptrend, downtrend, or no trend based on the condition of the moving averages. If the moving averages are stacked such that MA1>MA2>MA3>MA4>MA5, then that is described as an uptrend. If the moving averages are stacked such that MA5>MA4>MA3>MA2>MA1, then that is defined as a downtrend.
The moving averages can be SMA, EMA, or DEMA, and it’s possible to view all the moving average series in the chart or hide all series and only see if there is an uptrend or downtrend according to the condition.
Note: If length 4 OR length 5 is zero the MA4 OR MA5 will be ignored.
Background Color Based on EMAHello Traders,
this is a very simple script. It paints the background color based on the close price in reference to an exponential moving average.
If the close is above the EMA the background color will be green.
If the close is under the EMA the background color will be red.
You can adjust colors and the EMA period by yourself.
This little indicator script is just to get a better overview, for example in combination with other indicators.
Hope you guys like this script. Wish you a great trading week.
MACD + PSAR SetupThis indicator combines 3 elements:-
1. MACD which will act as a source of potential Buy Signal
2. PSAR which provides the confirmation for buy signal and for potential Buy on Dip Strategy
3. Breakout candles which provides the confirmation signal for Buy on Breakout strategy
4. The direction of the trend is provided by the Exponential Moving Average
The strategy is to have any counters which has triggered the MACD Golden Cross signal. These counters are to be out under watchlist for further confirmation.
The Buy Signal is confirmed when:-
1. Price is above EMA Direction(standard is set at 200)
2. PSAR has given the Buy Signal OR a Breakout Candle occurs.
Buy Signal is shown with a Green Diamond symbol whilst the Sell Signal is shown in Red Diamond Symbol.
The bullish and bearish condition is set via a green and red background
The MACD and PSAR codes are derived from the standard codes which is available in tradingview.
Reivaj MA - PreSession This script contains 9 moving averages which can be changed each between "sma", "ema", "wma", "vwma.
The values of the moving averages are:
MMA20 = SMA20
MMA50 = SMA50
MMA100 = SMA100
MMA200 = SMA200
MMA300 = SMA300.
MMAextra1 = ema 8
MMAextra2 = ema21
MMAextra3 = sma400
MMAextra4 = sma500.
It has an Asian range that goes from 21: 00-07: 00 UTC which turns the color of the candle in green.
And pre-sessions that is one hour before the opening, the time of the opening and the hour after the opening of London and New York.
Donchian Channels Trending Breakout StrategyThis script looks for two entry signals. Long is when the previous breakout of the donchian channels was a low, price is above the input EMA, current price is equal or higher than the upper band and we're not in a position yet. Short is the other way around, so previous breakout of the donchian channels was a high, price is below the input EMA, current price is equal or lower than the lower band.
I haven't found a script that does take the previous highs and lows into consideration. Works for any markets in any conditions because the stop loss and profit targets are based on the upper and lower band of the donchian channels, which means the stop loss and profit targets move with the trend.
For more details see the script itself, I wrote a ton of comments.
Color Changing Moving Average
Hello everybody!
I'm not much of a coder but I do make indicators for myself for fun sometimes and found this one super cool. Hope it helps!
Basically it's a moving average that changes colors based on the trend. How does it do it, you may ask? Simply put, it checks and makes sure that the open and close price is above the moving average, then it checks and sees if the 50-period RSI (length adjustable) is above 50. If both conditions are met, the moving average turns green. Simple as that.
If the price is below the moving average and the RSI is below 50, the moving average turns red.
If the price is above the moving average but the RSI is below 50, the line is grey and I advise to simply waiting for the trend direction to be decided. Likewise, if the price is below the moving average, but the RSI is above 50, the line is also grey.
This is NOT a comprehensive system, and the changing color of the moving average does not indicate a buy or sell signal. It simply indicates that the price is trending. You should use your own entry and exit strategy, such as the MACD, Wave Trend, Schaff Trend Cycle, etc.
As well, I would recommend waiting for confirmation of a trend change when the color changes, since in a range price can cross multiple times before deciding on the right direction.
The slope of the moving average can help too, since in a range the moving average is typically flat.
I would recommend using a fixed risk to reward ratio, to limit emotions. But, this would also help with a trend-following strategy due to the trend filter functionality.
The length of the moving average is adjustable, as well as the RSI period- though I wouldn't recommend selecting an RSI lower than 30 because it will whipsaw more. Disabling the EMA option will give you an SMA that does the same thing as the EMA. You can also disable the RSI filter and simply have a moving average that changes color when the price is above/below- but that's pretty boring, huh?
Anyways, hope this helps, happy trading everybody :)

Thank you Julio!
EMA Ribbon - low clutter, configurable [aspiers]This script improves on many of the existing EMA ribbon scripts out there:
Reduces visual clutter with shorter labels / titles, and thinner, transparent lines which don't obscure the actual price chart
Two beautiful color gradients for up and down trends
All colors and EMA periods are fully configurable, using the new input grouping / inline features
Uses Pine Script v4, which makes it more future-proof and allows new functionality, e.g.
It allow configurable period resolution, e.g. so user can fix at day resolution even when chart is being viewed at hour or minute resolution (this is the default)
Code clean-up: remove redundant ternary conditionals, improve variable names
Allow smoothing threshold for changes in trend direction to be configurable
MACD Crossover trend strategy, Long and ShortHey everybody,
This is my first strategy and script I wrote mostly myself. There's tons of content out there to learn how to code in Pinescript and it's exactly what I wanted and needed in this time of my life.
In any case, I made a rather simple MACD crossover strategy that only takes trades in the direction of both EMA and SMA (there are inputs to change the length of the moving averages and lots of other stuff too).
If the MACD line crosses upwards on the signal line, while above the zero point of the histogram and the price is above EMA + SMA , it's a long signal.
If the MACD line cosses downards on the signal line, while below zero on the histogram and the price is below EMA + SMA , it's a short signal.
There are a lot of default variables that make no sense, for basically any symbol you're going to be looking at. You're going to have to adjust the EMA , SMA , backtest date, take profit, stop loss and all that good stuff yourself to find decently profitable parameters.
I made this myself because I couldn't really find a strategy out there that allowed for so much customizing and it's an easy way to get started in Pinescript.
If you have any suggestions, tips or you see a flatout mistake in my code, please let me know. I'm still learning, everyday and I'm enjoying every second of it.
EMA with RSI Backed Divergence BandsEMA200 with bands around it showing the effect of changes in RSI scaled by ATR . When the filling is green it indicates the bullish momentum and bearish when it is red.
exponential moving average + ATRThis script simplifies and gives more control to the user when using EMA with ATR in a bands form.
The default values has to be changed according to your plan.
Action Trend LineAction Trend Line is different of Moving Average between ema26 and ema260
My idea is, if ema26 drop to ema260 means downtrend
if ema26 increase or moving out of ema260 means uptrend
then writting a different line by 100 scale to be clear vision
at the bottom have plot sign up and down for each candle, it is status information
The chart show Action Trend Line, by 2 color and 2 sign at the bottom of chart.
If the line is growing up then color is green. you could know that is uptrend.
If the line is going down then color is red. you could know that is downtrend.
The triangle sign at the bottom of chart show trend folowing.
If previous and this line are uptrend, the triangle up and green color.
If previous and this line are downtrend, the triangle down and redcolor.
otherwise, the trend going to change it dosen't plot any sign, you cloud know warning the trend going to be change.
Must try and make you clearly understand.
Ripster EMA CloudsEMA Cloud By Ripster
EMA Cloud System is a Trading System Invented by Ripster where areas are shaded between two desired EMAs. The concept implies the EMA cloud area serves as support or resistance for Intraday & Swing Trading. This can be utilized effectively on 10 Min for day trading and 1Hr/Daily for Swings. Ripster himself utilizes various combinations of the 5-12, 34-50, 8-9, 20-21 EMA clouds but the possibilities are endless to find what works best for you.
“Ideally, 5-12 or 5-13 EMA cloud acts as a fluid trendline for day trades. 8-9 EMA Clouds can be used as pullback Levels –(optional). Additionally, a high level price over or under 34-50 EMA clouds confirms either bullish or bearish bias on the price action for any timeframe” – Ripster

SPY Ninja
SPY Ninja correlates the true strength index exponential moving averages of SPY and VIX together. In doing so we can determine the start of trend shifts via SPY / VIX convergence in addition to crossover, with potential market entries and exits represented by the LONG and SELL signals.
SMMA 50,100, and 200 have been added to chart due to the historic SPY market reactivity to these moving averages. They often act as natural support and resistance levels with SPY, and when coinciding LONG and SHORT signals appear touching any of these levels, it adds an extra layer of confidence for traders' decisions. Also, by highlighting the areas on our SPY chart (red background areas) that represent a VIX threshold higher than 25, we can bring attention to areas with potentially higher volatility immediately so that traders know to proceed with caution.
SPY Ninja works harmoniously with the SPY Ninja Oscillator; Ninja provides the signals highlighting risky VIX areas of concern, while the Ninja Oscillator adds an additional 3 levels of potential confirmation for your trade decisions.

LedgerStatusToolbox fork3: EMA/SMA that stays on a specific timeMy (akd) radically cut down fork#3 of the "Ledger Status Toolbox"
which had included many more options that I don't need
but was missing the 4hourly, and hourly = which I added here
and yes, I kicked out the weekly. Hardly ever looking at that anyways. Shall I reintroduce it for fork4 ?
The huge advantage of this approach, over other SMA/EMA indicators:
It stays on the chosen (e.g. daily) data, and calculates the moving averages for that data. Even if you switch the chart to different time candles (like hours or weeks).
So whatever time resolution candles you look at, these indicator lines stay in the same place.
Thanks to krogsgard. Check out his "Ledger Status Toolbox" it also has Bollinger bands (but those are always on "current" I think?). A very powerful tool, just too powerful for most times for me newb. So I cut it down to this mini version. Enjoy!
Adam Khoo Moving AveragesThis indicator will plot the simple and exponential moving averages Adam Khoo is also looking at for buying opportunities.
The best timeframe to use this indicator is the daily chart . The weekly moving averages are hard coded and don't change on any other timeframe. The other moving averages will show the values of your current timeframe.
In the settings you have the option to change the values of the moving averages and to show or not show the current timeframe moving averages or the weekly moving averages.
A label will also show the current value of all moving averages. To hide this label, go into the settings and click on 'Style' and at the bottom uncheck 'Labels'.
Happy trading ;-)
ema exhaustion (exa)The exa is an oscillator that combines fisher transform with distance from moving average and it is based on a theory that exhaustion can be derived from how far price is able to extend from a moving average, on average.
The fisher transform converts price into a gaussian normal distribution, also known as a bell curve {1}. A normal distribution is a type of probability distribution for a real-valued random variable {2}. Applying this method to the price of an asset can help to identify probabilities, but it will never identify certainties.
‘exa’ is an abbreviation for ema exhaustion. It can be used to identify when price is probable to revert to the mean but I prefer using it to confirm entries that are signaled following a reversion to the mean (aka buying the dip in bull markets). When price gets oversold into support, in a bull trend, then that can provide a good opportunity to enter long. However that isn’t necessarily the case when the same metrics indicate oversold conditions in a bear trend. In this situation the exa is best suited for identifying profit taking opportunities on shorts.
The default settings are a 9 lookback period and a 50 ema. By default signals will be derived from how far price is from the 50 ema relative to the probable distribution of the last 9 periods. If the exa is above 2, or below -2, then the price is in the 80th percentile of the prior 9 candles. Being outside of 3, or -3, represents the 90th percentile and 4, or -4, represents the 95th percentile.
Those ranges will never indicate a necessity of reverting to the mean, but they will indicate a higher and higher probability. I prefer to use this oscillator in combination with an indicator(s) that identifies the trend. When the oscillator reaches -2 in a bull trend then it can confirm long entry signals, whereas if it reaches +2 in a bull trend then it can be used to confirm signals to take profit.
Crossovers are especially significant because they indicate a shift in the tide. When the exa reaches 2 without crossing over then it is very much in a position to move to 3 or 4+. When it crosses above 2 then it is an indication that price is extended from the mean and exhausted.
This is certainly not a situation that implies price will revert to the mean, it simply provides confirmation.
The default settings are what I have been finding most effective personally, however that is mostly a function of the trend following tools that I use. The same principles should apply with all settings and I would encourage users to experiment with various lookback periods and emas.
