Moving Averages

TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge// The TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge is a trend-following indicator that combines Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) with Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts, specifically Break of Structure (BOS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS), to generate precise buy and sell signals. This unique mashup leverages the strengths of trend confirmation through SMAs and market structure analysis via ICT to help traders identify high-probability trend entries. The indicator is designed to be intuitive, customizable, and suitable for traders of all levels seeking to align with market trends on various timeframes. // // ### What It Does // The indicator plots two SMAs based on the high and low prices of candles to define the trend direction. It colors the SMAs and fills the area between them to visually indicate whether the price is in a bullish (above both SMAs), bearish (below both SMAs), or neutral (between SMAs) state. Simultaneously, it identifies BOS and MSS levels on a user-defined higher timeframe to confirm trend continuation or reversal points. Buy and sell signals are generated when the price closes above/below the latest BOS or MSS level (based on user preference) while also being correctly positioned relative to the SMAs, ensuring alignment with the trend. // // ### Why Combine SMAs and ICT? // SMAs provide a reliable way to gauge trend direction by smoothing price data, but they can lag or generate false signals in choppy markets. ICT's BOS and MSS concepts address this by focusing on key market structure breaks, offering context for significant price movements. By requiring price to close beyond a BOS or MSS level and align with the SMA-defined trend, the TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge filters out noise and enhances signal reliability. This combination creates a robust system that balances trend-following simplicity with structural market insights, making it ideal for trend traders. // // ### How to Use // 1. **SMA Length**: Adjust the `SMA Length` (default: 20) to control the sensitivity of the SMAs. Shorter lengths react faster to price changes, while longer lengths provide smoother trends. // 2. **Structure Timeframe**: Set the `Structure Timeframe` to a higher timeframe (e.g., "1H" on a 15M chart) to calculate BOS and MSS levels. This ensures structural signals are based on significant market moves. // 3. **Chart Timeframe**: Select the `Chart Timeframe` to optimize pivot point calculations for your current chart (e.g., "30M" for a 30-minute chart). // 4. **Signal Type**: Choose between "BOS" (default) for signals based on trend continuation breaks or "MSS" for signals based on potential reversal points (breakers). // 5. **Display Options**: Enable/disable `Show Continuation (BOS)` and `Show Breaker (MSS)` to toggle the visibility of BOS and MSS lines. Customize their colors for better chart clarity. // // ### Signals // - **Buy Signal**: Appears when the close price crosses above the latest BOS or MSS level (based on Signal Type) and is above both SMAs, indicating a bullish trend entry. Marked with a green "Buy" label. // - **Sell Signal**: Appears when the close price crosses below the latest BOS or MSS level (based on Signal Type) and is below both SMAs, indicating a bearish trend entry. Marked with a red "Sell" label. // // ### Originality // The TrendCraft ICT SwiftEdge stands out by integrating the trend-following reliability of SMAs with the structural precision of ICT's BOS and MSS. Unlike standalone SMA or ICT indicators, this script requires both trend alignment and structural confirmation, reducing false signals. The user-selectable Signal Type (BOS or MSS) adds versatility, allowing traders to adapt the indicator to trend-following or counter-trend strategies. Its dynamic timeframe adjustments and visual clarity make it a unique tool for traders seeking to capture trend entries with confidence. // // ### Notes // - Ensure the `Structure Timeframe` is higher than your chart timeframe to avoid calculation issues. // - Signals are generated only when the trend state changes to avoid redundant signals in the same trend direction. // - Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always combine this indicator with other analysis and risk management techniques.

MA Crossover Crossunder Strategy [UOI]Simple MA Crossover Crossunder Strategy Tester 📌 Purpose: This strategy is designed to backtest and automate entries and exits based on the crossover and crossunder of two configurable moving averages. It provides traders with flexibility in selecting the moving average type and length to adapt the system to various market conditions and asset classes. To see the win ratio of each strategy (different length and different MA type) click on Strategy tester below the chart (at the bottom of the page). 🟦 Does it work? Short answer: No — not on its own. Unless you have a solid understanding of volume and price action, and you implement effective stop-loss and take-profit rules, the win ratio is typically poor for automated trading. However, incorporating other market dynamics can help improve the strategy's performance. ⚙️ Core Features: 🟦 User-Defined Inputs: shortLength: Length for the short-term moving average (default: 10) longLength: Length for the long-term moving average (default: 50) maType: Type of moving average to apply (options include: "SMA", "EMA", "WMA", "VWMA", "RMA", "HMA") 🧮 Moving Average Function (ma): The strategy includes a custom ma() function that dynamically computes the moving average of the selected type: SMA (Simple Moving Average) EMA (Exponential Moving Average) WMA (Weighted Moving Average) VWMA (Volume-Weighted Moving Average) RMA (Running Moving Average / SMMA) HMA (Hull Moving Average): Calculated using the WMA of a de-trended intermediate series with a square root length for faster response and reduced lag. This design allows users to test multiple MA methodologies without rewriting code. 🟧 Entry & Exit Logic: ✅ Long Entry: Triggered when the short-term MA crosses above the long-term MA (ta.crossover()). Any existing short positions are closed immediately. ❌ Short Entry: Triggered when the short-term MA crosses below the long-term MA (ta.crossunder()). Any existing long positions are closed immediately. This structure ensures that only one active position (long or short) is held at any given time, making the strategy fully reversible and directional. 📊 Visual Representation: Both MAs are plotted on the chart for visual confirmation. Short MA: Blue Long MA: Orange The chart overlays allow for easy manual verification of signal points and trend alignment. 📈 Execution Parameters: The strategy uses strategy.percent_of_equity for position sizing, set to 100% of account equity per trade. Works on any timeframe — users can switch chart resolution for different backtesting horizons (scalping to swing trading). For instance Try VWMA 10 over 50 with SPX on 30 and 45 minutes time frame and you will see great results. But if you try that with SPY you will get different win ratio. ❌ Do you recommend using a moving average crossover strategy? ❌ No — I use it only as confirmation alongside other indicators. ❌ Only traders with contextual knowledge of price action and volume analysis should use MA strategies.

Top & Bottom Search ~ Experimental Top & Bottom Search ~ Experimental This script is designed to identify potential market reversal zones using a combination of classic candlestick patterns (Piercing Line & Dark Cloud Cover) and trend confirmation tools like EMA positioning and optional RSI filters. Core Features: Detects Piercing Line and Dark Cloud Cover patterns. Optional EMA filter to confirm bullish or bearish alignment. Optional RSI filter to confirm oversold or overbought conditions. Visual plot of the selected EMA (customizable thickness & color). Clean and toggleable inputs for user flexibility. Customizable Settings: Enable/disable EMA confirmation. Enable/disable RSI confirmation. Choose whether to display the EMA on the chart. Adjust EMA period, RSI thresholds, and candle visuals. Note: This is an experimental tool, best used as a supplement to your existing analysis. Not every signal is a guaranteed reversal—this script aims to highlight potential turning points that deserve closer attention. I HIGHLY recommend using this in coherence with many other indicators in a robust system of indicators that meet your desired time frames and signal periods. NOTES* 1.) An alternative way to view this indicator is as a "Piercing & Dark Cloud Candle Indicator/Strategy w/ EMA & RSI Logic - Either EMA or RSI Logics are Optional." 2.) When toggling between the RSI and EMA Filters, the default is set to RSI filter applied, however you cannot have both RSI signals and EMA filters on the chart at the same time, it can only be one or the other. So be aware that if you have EMA filter ON and select RSI filter, it will only be displaying the RSI filtered outputs. The ONLY WAY to see the EMA filtered outputs is to only have the EMA filter box checked and NOT the RIS filter box. 3.) Clarity: The display image above for the indicator is with only the RSI filter setting on. EMA filter is an option as well that I recommend considering when conducting trades/analysis.

Express Generator StrategyExpress Generator Strategy Pine Script™ v6 The Express Generator Strategy is an algorithmic trading system that harnesses confluence from multiple technical indicators to optimize trade entries and dynamic risk management. Developed in Pine Script v6, it is designed to operate within a user-defined backtesting period—ensuring that trades are executed only during chosen historical windows for targeted analysis. How It Works: - Entry Conditions: The strategy relies on a dual confirmation approach:- A moving average crossover system where a fast (default 9-period SMA) crossing above or below a slower (default 21-period SMA) average signals a potential trend reversal. - MACD confirmation; trades are only initiated when the MACD line crosses its signal line in the direction of the moving average signal. - An RSI filter refines these signals by preventing entries when the market might be overextended—ensuring that long entries only occur when the RSI is below an overbought level (default 70) and short entries when above an oversold level (default 30). - Risk Management & Dynamic Position Sizing: The strategy takes a calculated approach to risk by enabling the adjustment of position sizes using:- A pre-defined percentage of equity risk per trade (default 1%, adjustable between 0.5% to 3%). - A stop-loss set in pips (default 100 pips, with customizable ranges), which is then adjusted by market volatility measured through the ATR. - Trailing stops (default 50 pips) to help protect profits as the market moves favorably. This combination of volatility-adjusted risk and equity-based position sizing aims to harmonize trade exposure with prevailing market conditions. - Backtest Period Flexibility: Users can define the start and end dates for backtesting (e.g., January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2025). This ensures that the strategy only opens trades within the intended analysis window. Moreover, if the strategy is still holding a position outside this period, it automatically closes all trades to prevent unwanted exposure. - Visual Insights: For clarity, the strategy plots the fast (blue) and slow (red) moving averages directly on the chart, allowing for visual confirmation of crossovers and trend shifts. By integrating multiple technical indicators with robust risk management and adaptable position sizing, the Express Generator Strategy provides a comprehensive framework for capturing trending moves while prudently managing downside risk. It’s ideally suited for traders looking to combine systematic entries with a disciplined and dynamic risk approach.

Percentage difference to averagesSimple indicator to analyse the distance of price and average. An indicator that shows the percentage distance between the current price and a moving average (MA) is a powerful tool to assess how far the price has deviated from its recent average. It provides insights into market extremes, momentum, and potential reversal zones. Identifying Overbought / Oversold Conditions: When the price is significantly above the moving average (e.g., +10% or more), it might suggest that the asset is overbought and could be due for a correction or consolidation. If the price is far below the MA (e.g., –10%), it might indicate oversold conditions and a potential rebound. Gauging Strength or Weakness: - A large positive distance shows strong bullish momentum – price is surging away from its average. - A large negative distance can suggest weakness, panic selling, or capitulation. This helps traders and analysts see whether current price action is strong or potentially stretched. Entry/Exit Signal Aid - Trend followers might enter when the price pulls back toward the MA after a strong run. - Mean reversion traders use the distance to bet on a return toward the average when the deviation gets too extreme.
