Indicator Explanation: Custom RSI & MACD Momentum Entry Signals
Introduction

The "Custom RSI & MACD Momentum Entry Signals" indicator combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) to generate precise long and short entry signals. This indicator offers a powerful combination of overbought/oversold zones, momentum analysis, and RSI-EMA crossovers to assist traders in making better decisions.
How the Indicator Works
1. RSI Calculation and EMA

The RSI is calculated based on the closing price with an adjustable period (default: 14).
An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the RSI (default: 9) is plotted to identify RSI trend changes.
When the RSI crosses its EMA upwards, it signals a bullish impulse. Conversely, a downward cross indicates a bearish impulse.

2. MACD Calculation and Momentum Shifts

The MACD line is derived from the difference between a fast EMA (default: 12) and a slow EMA (default: 26).

The Signal line is the EMA of the MACD line (default: 9).

The MACD histogram represents the difference between the MACD line and the Signal line.

Momentum shifts are detected as follows:
Weakening Bearish: Histogram is negative but increasing (less bearish pressure).
Strengthening Bullish: Histogram is positive and rising.
Weakening Bullish: Histogram is positive but decreasing.
Strengthening Bearish: Histogram is negative and falling.

Signal Generation
Long Signals

A Long signal is triggered when all of the following conditions are met:

The RSI was previously below 30 (oversold condition).
MACD momentum shifts from "strengthening bearish" to "weakening bearish" or turns bullish.
The RSI crosses its EMA upwards.

A green upward arrow is displayed below the bar, and the background is lightly shaded green for additional visualization.
Short Signals

A Short signal is triggered when all of the following conditions are met:

The RSI was previously above 70 (overbought condition).
MACD momentum shifts from "strengthening bullish" to "weakening bullish" or turns bearish.
The RSI crosses its EMA downwards.

A red downward arrow is displayed above the bar, and the background is lightly shaded red for additional visualization.
