EMA Candle ColorEMA Candle Color - Visual EMA-Based Candle Coloring System
Overview:
This indicator provides a visual approach to trend identification by coloring candles based on their relationship with an Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The script dynamically colors both the candle bars and plots custom candles to give traders an immediate visual representation of price momentum relative to the EMA.
How It Works:
The indicator calculates an EMA based on your chosen source (default: open price) and length (default: 10 periods). It then applies a simple yet effective rule:
When the source price is ABOVE the EMA → Candles turn GREEN (bullish)
When the source price is BELOW the EMA → Candles turn RED (bearish)
This instant visual feedback helps traders quickly identify:
Current trend direction
Potential support/resistance levels (the EMA line itself)
Momentum shifts when candles change color
Key Features:
Customizable EMA Parameters: Adjust the EMA length (1-500) and source (open, close, high, low, hl2, hlc3, ohlc4)
Custom Color Selection: Choose your preferred bullish and bearish colors to match your chart theme
Dual Visualization: Both bar coloring and custom plotcandle for enhanced visibility
Offset Capability: Shift the EMA line forward or backward for advanced analysis
Clean Design: Minimal overlay that doesn't clutter your chart
How to Use:
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. Adjust the EMA Length based on your trading timeframe:
- Shorter periods (5-20) for day trading and scalping
- Medium periods (20-50) for swing trading
- Longer periods (50-200) for position trading
3. Watch for candle color changes as potential entry/exit signals
4. Combine with other indicators for confirmation
Trading Applications:
Trend Following: Stay in trades while candles remain the same color
Reversal Signals: Watch for color changes as early reversal warnings
Filter System: Only take long positions during green candles, shorts during red
Visual Clarity: Quickly assess market sentiment at a glance
Settings:
Length: EMA calculation period (default: 10)
Source: Price data used for EMA calculation (default: open)
Offset: Shift EMA line on chart (default: 0)
Bullish Color: Color for candles above EMA (default: green)
Bearish Color: Color for candles below EMA (default: red)
Technical Details:
The script uses Pine Script v6 and employs the standard ta.ema() function for smooth, responsive EMA calculations. The candle coloring is achieved through both barcolor() and plotcandle() functions, ensuring visibility across different chart settings.
Note:
This indicator works on all timeframes and instruments. For best results, combine with proper risk management and additional confirmation indicators. The EMA Candle Color system is designed to simplify trend identification, not as a standalone trading system.
Tips:
Use on higher timeframes for more reliable signals
Combine with volume analysis for confirmation
Consider using multiple EMA periods for confluence
Disable default candles if using the plotcandle feature to avoid overlap
This script is open-source. Feel free to use it as a foundation for your own trading system or modify it to suit your specific trading style.

cd_VWAP_mtg_CxCd_VWAP_mtg_Cx
Overview
The most important condition for being successful and profitable in the market is to consistently follow the same rules without compromise, while the price constantly moves in countless different ways.
Regardless of the concept or trading school, those who have rules win.
In this indicator, we will define and use three main sections to set and apply our rules.
The indicator uses the VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) — price weighted by volume.
Two VWAPs can be displayed either by manually entering date and time, or by selecting from the menu.
From the menu, you can select the following reference levels:
• HTF Open: Opening candle of the higher timeframe
• ATH / ATL: All-Time High / All-Time Low candles
• PMH / PML, PWH / PWL, PDH / PDL, PH4H / PH4L: Previous Month, Week, Day, or H4 Highs/Lows
• MH / ML, WH / WL, DH / DL, H4H / H4L: Current Month, Week, Day, or H4 Highs/Lows
Additionally, it includes:
• Mitigation / Order Block zones (local buyer-seller balance) across two timeframes.
• Buy/Sell Side Liquidity levels (BSL / SSL) from the aligned higher timeframe (target levels).
________________________________________
Components and Usage
1 – VWAP
Calculated using the classical method:
• High + Volume for the upper value
• Close + Volume for the middle value
• Low + Volume for the lower value
The VWAP is displayed as a colored band, where the coloring represents the bias.
Let’s call this band FVB (Fair Value Band) for ease of explanation.
The FVB represents the final line of defense, the buyer/seller boundary, and in technical terms, it can be viewed as premium/discount zones or support/resistance levels.
Within this critical area, the strong side continues its move, while the weaker side is forced to retreat.
But does the side that breaks beyond the band always keep going?
We all know that’s not always the case — in different pairs and timeframes, price often violates both the upper and lower edges multiple times.
To achieve more consistent analysis, we’ll define a new set of rules.
________________________________________
2 – Mitigation / Order Blocks
In trading literature, there are dozens of different definitions and uses of mitigation or order blocks.
Here, we will interpret the candlesticks to create our own definition, and we’ll use the zones defined by candles that fit this pattern.
For simplicity, let’s abbreviate mitigation as “mtg.”
For a candle to be selected as an mtg, it must clearly show strength from one side (buyers or sellers) — which can also be observed visually on the chart.
________________________________________
Bullish mtg criteria:
1. The first candle must be bullish (close > open) → buyers are strong.
2. The next candle makes a new high (buyers push higher) but fails to close above and pulls back to close inside the previous range → sellers react.
It also must not break the previous low → buyers defend.
3. In the following candle(s), as long as the first candle’s low is protected and the second candle’s high is broken, it indicates buyer strength → a bullish mtg is confirmed.
When price returns to this zone later (gets mitigated), the expectation is that the zone holds and price pushes upward again.
If the low is violated, the mtg becomes invalid.
In technical terms:
If the previous candle’s high is broken but no close occurs above it, the expectation is a reversal move that will retest its low.
Question:
What if the low is protected and in the next candle(s) a new high forms?
Answer: → Bullish mtg.
Bearish mtg (opposite)
3 – Buy/Sell Side Liquidity Levels
With the help of the aligned higher timeframe (swing points), we will define our market structure framework and set our liquidity targets accordingly.
Let’s put the pieces together.
If we continue explaining from a trade-focused perspective, our first priority should be our bias — our projection or expectation of the market’s potential movement.
We will determine this bias using the FVB.
Since we know the band often gets violated on both sides, we want the price action to convince us of its strength.
To do that, we’ll use the first candle that closes beyond the band.
The distance from that candle’s high to low will be our threshold range
Bullish level = high + (candle length × coefficient)
Bearish level = low - (candle length × coefficient)
When the price closes beyond this threshold, it demonstrates strength, and our bias will now align in that direction.
How long will this bias remain valid?
→ Until a closing candle appears on the opposite side of the band.
If a close occurs on the opposite side, then a new bias will only be confirmed once the new threshold level is broken.
During the period in between, we have no bias.
Let’s continue on the chart:
Now that our bias has been established, where and how do we look for trade opportunities?
There are two possible entry approaches:
• Aggressive entry: Enter immediately with the breakout.
• Conservative entry: Wait for a pullback and enter once a suitable structure forms.
(The choice depends on the user’s preference.)
At this stage, the user can apply their own entry model. Let’s give an example:
Let’s assume we’re looking for setups using HTF sweep + LTF CISD confirmation.
Once our bias turns bearish, we look for an HTF sweep forming on or near an FVB or mtg block, and then confirm the entry with a CISD signal.
In summary:
• FVB defines the bias, the entry zone, and the target zone.
• Mtg blocks represent entry zones.
• BSL / SSL levels suggest target zones.
Overlapping FVB and mtg blocks are expected to be more effective.
The indicator also provides an option for a second FVB.
A band attached to a lower timeframe can be used as confirmation.
• Main band: Bias + FVB
• Extra band: Entry trigger confirmed by a close beyond it.
Mtg blocks can provide trade entry opportunities, especially when the price is moving strongly in one direction (flow).
Consecutive or complementary mtg blocks indicate that the price is decisive in one direction, while sometimes also showing areas where we should wait before entering.
Mtg blocks that contain an FVG (Fair Value Gap) within their body are expected to be more effective.
Settings:
The default values are set to 1-3-5m, optimized for scalping trades.
VWAP settings:
Main VWAP (FVB):
• Can be set by selecting a start time, manually entering date and time, or choosing a predefined level.
Extra VWAP (FVB):
• Set from the menu. If not needed, select “none.”
• Visibility, color, and fill settings for VWAP are located here.
• Threshold levels visibility and color options are also in this section.
• The multiplier is used for calculating the threshold level.
Important:
• If the Extra VWAP is selected but not displayed, you need to increase the chart timeframe.
o Example: If the chart is on 3m and you select WH from the extra options, it will not display correctly.
• Upper limits for VWAP:
o 1m and 3m charts: daily High/Low
o 5m chart: weekly High/Low
________________________________________
Mtg Settings:
• Visibility and color settings for blocks are configured here.
• To display on a second timeframe, the box must be checked and the timeframe specified.
• Optional display modes: “only active blocks,” “only last violated mtg,” or “all.”
• For confirmation and removal criteria, choosing high/low or close determines the source used for mtg block formation and deletion conditions.
BSL/SSL Settings:
• Visibility, color, font size, and line style can be configured in this section.
When “Auto” is selected, the aligned timeframe is determined automatically by the indicator, while in manual mode, the user defines the timeframe.
Final Words:
Simply opening trades every time the price touches the VWAP or mtg blocks will not make you a profitable trader. Searching for setups with similar structures while maintaining proper risk management will yield better results in the long run.
I would be happy to hear your feedback and suggestions.
Happy trading!

It blends intermarket leadership between QQQ and SPY, intraday flow from the slope of session VWAP, and where the current price sits inside the regular trading hours range. The three components are normalized, fused, compressed to a stable range, and smoothed for clear thresholds. The aim is a readable intraday regime signal that helps you decide when to participate and when to stand aside.
The script is built with Pine v6, uses request security with lookahead off, and does not repaint. It is an indicator, not a strategy. It does not contain any solicitation, links, or outside references. The description is self contained and explains both logic and use so that any trader can understand the design without reading code.
What makes this original and useful
Intermarket leadership is measured directly from QQQ and SPY on your working timeframe using a Z score of the return spread. When growth is leading value heavy large caps, leadership turns positive. When it lags, leadership turns negative. This gives a real time read of the Nasdaq versus S and P tug of war that most day traders watch informally.
Intraday flow is taken from the slope of the session VWAP. A linear regression of VWAP over a short window captures whether value is rising or falling inside the day. Dividing by ATR normalizes slope by typical movement so that the signal is comparable across weeks.
Session position places price inside the current regular hours high to low. It answers whether the day is trading in the top half, the bottom half, or the middle. This is a simple but powerful context filter for breakouts and fades.
The three components are fused into one pulse, compressed with either hyperbolic tangent or softsign to keep values bounded, and then smoothed by a short EMA. This yields a stable range with a zero line so the eye can read shifts quickly.
The panel shows a human readable mode with reasons and a strength score. Traders who do not want to read lines can rely on a simple state and a compact justification that explains why the state is set.
This is not a mashup that simply overlays unrelated indicators. Each component was chosen to answer a distinct question that is common to SPY and QQQ intraday decision making. Leadership answers who is in charge, flow answers whether value inside the session is building or leaking, and position answers if price is pressing the extremes or circling the middle. The pulse ties the three together and prevents any single component from dominating.
How the calculations work
Leadership. Compute a short rate of change for SPY and QQQ. Subtract SPY from QQQ to get spread returns, then compute a rolling Z score over a longer window. Positive values mean QQQ is leading. Negative values mean SPY is leading.
Flow. Compute session VWAP on the active symbol. Regress VWAP over a short window to obtain a slope estimate. Divide by ATR to scale slope by current volatility so that a small rise on a quiet day is not treated the same as a small rise on a wild day.
Position. Track the highest high and lowest low since the start of regular hours. Place the current close inside that range on a zero to one scale, then recenter to a minus one to plus one scale. Positive means the top half of the day, negative means the bottom half.
Fusion. Multiply each component by a weight so users can emphasize or de emphasize leadership, flow, or position. Sum to a raw pulse.
Compression. Pass the raw pulse through a bounded function. Hyperbolic tangent is smooth and has natural saturation near the extremes. Softsign is faster and behaves like a smoother version of sign near zero. Compression avoids unbounded excursions and makes thresholds meaningful across days.
Smoothing. Apply a short EMA to the compressed pulse to reduce noise. This creates the main line called TwinPulse in the plot.
Thresholds. You can use static symmetric levels or adaptive levels. The adaptive option computes a mean and a standard deviation of the smoothed pulse over a user window, then sets upper and lower thresholds as mean plus or minus sigma times standard deviation. This allows thresholds to adjust across regimes. Static levels are still available for traders who want repeatable levels.
Events and mode. A long event fires when the smoothed pulse crosses the upper threshold with positive flow and any optional filters agree. A short event fires on the symmetric condition. The mode reads the current state rather than fire and forget. It returns BUY when the smoothed pulse is above the upper threshold with positive flow, SELL when the smoothed pulse is below the lower threshold with negative flow, otherwise WAIT. A cooldown controls how often events can fire so alerts do not spam during choppy periods.
Inputs and default values
The script ships with defaults chosen for SPY and QQQ on one hour charts.
Symbols. SPY and QQQ by default. You can switch to any pair. Many users may test IWM versus SPY for small cap reads.
Regular hours selector. On by default. This restricts the position factor to New York regular hours. Turn it off if you prefer full session behavior.
ROC length is three bars. Z score length is fifty bars. VWAP slope window is ten bars. ATR length is fourteen bars. Pulse smoothing length is three bars.
Compression mode. Choose hyperbolic tangent or softsign. Hyperbolic tangent is default.
Weights. Leadership and flow are one by default. Position is set to zero point seven to give a modest influence to where price sits inside the day.
Thresholds. Adaptive thresholds are on by default with a lookback of one hundred bars and a sigma width of zero point eight. Static levels at plus or minus zero point six are ready if you disable adaptive mode.
Filters. ADX filter is off by default. If you enable it, the script requires ADX above a user minimum before it will signal. Higher time frame confirmation is off by default. When enabled it compares the smoothed pulse on the confirm timeframe to zero and requires alignment for longs or shorts.
Cooldown. Three bars by default so that alerts do not trigger too frequently.
UI. Bar coloring is on by default. The panel is on by default and sits at the top right.
All request security calls use lookahead off and will not request future data. All persistent state variables are assigned in a way that prevents repainting. The indicator does not use non standard chart types in its logic.
How to use the indicator
Load a one hour chart of SPY or QQQ. Keep a clean chart so that the script output is easy to read.
Turn on regular hours if you want the session position to reflect the cash session. This is recommended for SPY and QQQ.
Watch the panel. Mode reads BUY or SELL or WAIT. The strength value is a simple vote based score that ranges from zero to one hundred. It counts leadership, flow, ADX if enabled, and higher time frame confirmation if enabled. You can use strength to filter weak states.
Consider action only when mode is BUY or SELL and the signal has not just fired on the last bar. The triangles mark where an event fired. Alerts use the same logic as the events. WAIT means stand aside.
To slow the system, enable ADX and set a higher minimum or enable higher time frame confirmation. To speed it up, disable the filters, disable adaptive thresholds, or tighten the sigma width.
When publishing, use a clean chart with only this indicator. Show the symbol and timeframe clearly and make sure the plot legend is visible. If you add drawings on the chart, only include ones that help readers understand the output.
Publication notes and compliance
This description is written in English. The title uses ASCII and only uses capital letters for common abbreviations. The script is original and explains how and why the components work together. There are no links or promotional material. The script does not claim performance. It does not use lookahead. The panel and alerts exist to help a human read and act with discipline. The indicator can be published as open source or as protected. If you choose protected, the description still allows readers to understand how the logic works without access to the code.
If you later convert the logic into a strategy for publication, use realistic commission and slippage, risk no more than a small share of equity per trade, and choose a dataset that yields a large enough sample. Explain any deviations from these default recommendations in your strategy description. Do not publish results from non standard chart types since they can mislead readers on signal timing.
Limitations and risks
Intermarket leadership is a relative measure. There are hours when both SPY and QQQ fall while leadership remains positive. Treat leadership as a context, not a stand alone trigger.
VWAP slope is a path measure inside the session. It can flip several times on a choppy day. That is why the script uses a short smoothing and an optional cooldown. Use ADX or higher time frame confirmation to avoid the worst chop.
Session position assumes a meaningful regular hours range. On half days or around openings with gaps the position factor can be less informative. If this bothers you, reduce the weight of position or turn it off.
Compression and smoothing introduce lag by design. The goal is stability and clarity. If you want earlier but noisier signals, reduce smoothing and weights, and use static thresholds.
No indicator guarantees future results. TwinPulse Q Lead is a decision aid. It should be combined with your risk rules, position size policy, and a clear exit plan. Past behavior is not a promise for the future.
Frequently asked questions
What symbols are supported. Any symbol can be used as the chart symbol. Leadership uses the two user symbols which default to SPY and QQQ. Many traders may try IWM versus SPY or DIA versus SPY.
Can I change the timeframe. Yes, but the design target is one hour. On very short timeframes the VWAP slope becomes very sensitive and you should consider stronger filters.
Does the script repaint. No. It uses request security with lookahead off and the panel updates on the last bar only. Events are based on bar close conditions unless you attach alerts on any alert function call which will still respect the logic without looking into the future.
How are the strength numbers built. The strength score is the share of aligned votes across leadership, flow, ADX if enabled, and higher time frame confirmation if enabled. A value near one hundred means many filters agree. A value near fifty means partial alignment. It is not a probability or an accuracy number.
Can I use non standard chart types. You can view the indicator on them but do not publish signals from non standard chart types because that can mislead readers about timing. Use classic candles or bars when you publish and when you test.
Why do I sometimes see BUY but the price is not moving. A BUY mode requires pulse above the upper threshold and positive flow. It does not require higher highs immediately. Treat BUY as a permission to look for entries using your own execution rules.
