[New series!] [Consistent Losing Strategies] 34 EMA Scalping//---------------------------INTRO------------------------------
Hi All!
Let me introduce myself as a semi-successful forex trader & lover of automation.
I've taken to algo trading and have been hunting down strategies (that usually use indicators) to automate, backtest, and hopefully implement in MT4.
Unfortunately, most strategies are complete bulls*** and the select cases that are shown to "prove" success are limited.
These strategy sources often do not provide useful analytics either.
I want to change that approach to trading! We can really benefit each other and the community by being methodical about backtesting
as well as evaluating our results with some kind of scoring heuristic.
As for what that standardized process looks like..well I'm still working on it.
I'm pretty much on Tv for multiple hours of the day, screening strategies via Pinescript and I'd like to start sharing my progress!
This is a new series I'd like to start on consistently losing strategies. I'll make all the code public, so if you think I've made a blunder
or approached a problem the wrong way, then drop me a DM or paste your fix into the comments.

34 EMA Scalping strategy (ref. forextradingstrategies4u )
How you're supposed to trade it:
BUY:
1. Market is in an down trend as shown by the 34 EMA
2. Price breaks above a downwards trend line
3. Price breaks above the 34 EMA
4. Look for a very bullish candlestick or chart pattern
SELL:
1. Look for the 34 EMA to show we are in an uptrend
2. Price breaks below an upwards sloping trend line
3. Price breaks below 34 EMA
4. Look for a bearish candlestick or a chart pattern
//---------------------------CONC------------------------------
Q: Why does it fail?
A: I believe this strategy relies too much on subjective input (aka, trendlines).
Q: Why does it fail as an algo?
A: The 34 EMA is no more predictive than any other EMA, although it does a good job at filtering out noise.
Q: Should I try it out?
A: No, it's trash. This is the proof that it is trash.

Best EMA FinderThis script, Best EMA Finder, is based on the same original logic as the Best SMA Finder I published previously. Although it was not the initial goal of the project, several users asked for an EMA version, so here it is.
The script scans a wide range of Exponential Moving Average (EMA) lengths, from 10 to 500, and identifies the one that historically delivered the most robust performance on the current chart. The choice to stop at 500 is deliberate: beyond that point, EMA curves tend to flatten and converge, adding processing time without meaningful differences in signals or outcomes.
Each EMA is evaluated using a custom robustness score:
Profit Factor × log(Number of Trades) × sqrt(Win Rate)
Only EMA lengths that exceed a user-defined minimum number of trades are considered valid. Among these, the one with the highest robustness score is selected and displayed on the chart.
A table summarizes the results:
- Best EMA length
- Total number of trades
- Profit Factor
- Win Rate
- Robustness Score
You can adjust:
- Strategy type: Long Only or Buy & Sell
- Minimum number of trades required
- Table visibility
This script is designed for analysis and optimization only. It does not execute trades or handle position sizing. Only one open trade per direction is considered at a time.
RSI in pane and 3 EMAs on chartCustom RSI in Pane + 3 EMAs on Chart — with Optional RSI Divergence Detection
Combines RSI in a separate pane with 3 EMAs on the chart and optional RSI-based divergence detection. Useful for analyzing both momentum and trend structure.
Features
RSI Pane
Custom RSI calculation (not built-in ta.rsi) with adjustable source and length
Overlay optional moving average (SMA, EMA, SMMA/RMA, WMA, VWMA, or Bollinger Bands) Overbought/oversold gradient fill for visual clarity (70 / 30 zones)
Midline (50) for neutral RSI territory
RSI Divergence Detection
Optional: toggle on/off with one input
Regular Bullish Divergence : Price makes a lower low, RSI makes a higher low
Regular Bearish Divergence : Price makes a higher high, RSI makes a lower high
Customizable lookback for pivot detection
Visual markers and labels plotted on RSI
Built-in alert conditions for both divergence types
3 EMA Trend Indicators on Price Chart
Three customizable EMAs (default: 20, 50, 200)
Color-coded and clearly plotted on main chart
Use to determine short/mid/long-term trend bias
No repainting or smoothing artifacts
Why use this script?
Gives a full view of trend + momentum without cluttering the main price chart, and it helps confirm entries and exits by observing RSI behavior alongside EMAs. The optional divergence detection can act as a signal for potential exhaustion or reversal (not entry signals on their own). It is a Good fit for traders who use RSI zones, divergences, and EMA structure in their decision-making, both for intra-day and swing trades (where it performs best).
How to use
Add this script to your chart. EMAs will appear on the main price chart; RSI and divergence will appear in a separate pane.
Adjust RSI and MA settings to fit your trading style (e.g., fast RSI for scalping, slower for swing)
Enable "Show Divergence" if you want visual alerts and markers
Use alerts to get notified when a divergence occurs without watching the chart
Always check the divergences on different time frames to validate the setup, and do not consider them valid on small time frames (<15 minutes).
Built for traders who want both momentum and trend context in a single tool — without clutter, repainting, or noise. I created this script to streamline my own analysis and avoid switching between multiple indicators. It's not meant to be a "signal generator" but a visual assistant for making better decisions. If you find it useful or have feedback, feel free to reach out.

Fukuiz Octa-EMA + Ichimoku (Strategy)This strategy is based EMA of 8 different period and Ichimoku Cloud which works better in 1hr 4hr and daily time frame.
#A brief introduction to Ichimoku #
The Ichimoku Cloud is a collection of technical indicators that show support and resistance levels, as well as momentum and trend direction. It does this by taking multiple averages and plotting them on a chart. It also uses these figures to compute a “cloud” that attempts to forecast where the price may find support or resistance in the future.
#A brief introduction to EMA#
An exponential moving average ( EMA ) is a type of moving average (MA) that places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points. The exponential moving average is also referred to as the exponentially weighted moving average . An exponentially weighted moving average reacts more significantly to recent price changes than a simple moving average ( SMA ), which applies an equal weight to all observations in the period.
#How to use#
The strategy will give entry points itself, you can monitor and take profit manually(recommended), or you can use the exit setup.
EMA (Color) = Bullish trend
EMA (Gray) = Bearish trend
#Condition#
Buy = All Ema (color) above the cloud.
SELL= All Ema turn to gray color.
MTF EMA TrendThe indicator plots directional arrows on top of the chart to visualize the market's price trend. The plots are based on candle closing below all three multitimeframe EMAs, downtrend, when the EMAs are also in order (1 below 2 and 2 below 3). Opposite situation is uptrend.
It also marks a breakdown when the price closes under the third (supposedly always the slowest) EMA outside of aforementioned downtrend situation. Opposite is true for breakup to be marked.
Please always make sure, that the three EMAs are in order of EMA 1 being the fastest and 3rd the slowest. Default settings are used on the 5 minute timeframe.
Indicator can be used to quickly check the overall trend of the market as told by three MTF EMAs without needing to clutter the chart with the actual EMA plots. This is useful, for example, if you mainly base your scalping trades on other types of indicators, but you want a quick peek of the market direction or indecision.
3 EMA/SMA + Colored Candles[C2Trends]// Indicator Features:
// 1) 3 Exponential Moving Averages and 3 Simple Moving Averages.
// 2) Additional EMA input for colored candles(EMA is hidden from chart, input used for coloring of candles only)
// 3) Turn colored candles on/off from main input tab of indicator settings.
// 4) Turn SMA's and EMA's on/off from main input tab of indicator settings.
// 5) Select single color or 2 color EMA and SMA lines from main input tab of indicator settings.
// Indicator Notes:
// 1) 'Candle EMA' input is the trend lookback period for the price candle colors. When price is above desired Candle EMA, price candles will color green. When price is below the Candle EMA, price candles will color fuchsia.
// 2) If you are using another indicator that colors the price candles it may overlap the candle colors applied by this indicator. Trying hiding or removing other indicators to troubleshoot if having candle color issues.
// 3) Using 2-color price moving averages: when price is above an average the average will color green, when price is below an average the average will color fuchsia.
EMA+RSI Pump & Drop Swing Sniper (SL+TP) - StrategyThis is the strategy version of the 'EMA-RSI-Pump-Drop-Swing-Sniper-With-Alerts':
Some additions with this strategy:
~Added Stop loss & Take profit control. In Settings > Inputs if the Stop Loss is at .051 that means it's 5.1% and the Take Profit at .096 is 9.6%. If you wish to remove the TP and SL just change the value to 1.00 and it would be the same as it being 100% TP and SL which is likely to never be hit.
~Added Backtesting by changing the month/date/year in Settings > Inputs
~Added a 2nd EMA line to assist with the long entry signals. I only use this for long entry & exits, though you could use the long exits as Short entries too. I just personally don't do short trading on Bitcoin.
This is using an EMA and RSI with slightly modified settings to give good entry and exit points while looking at Bitcoin. I use this on a 1-hour and 4-hour chart and with other indicators to find good positions to enter a trade or exit if things are turning red.
It's important to know this strategy was made as a request by another user that was using the indicator version. I don't use this as a trading strategy by itself, I use the visuals it gives as a confirmation with other indicators to find the best possible entry and exit positions.
If you click on the EMA line it will color the bars of the chart based on if they are above or below the EMA - This is just visually helpful for me to see the active trend.
Make sure you hover over or click on the EMA line to see the colors of the candles change - it's not visible by default or without doing this.
EMA / SMA MultiCombo 3.0 All the moving averages you'll ever need!!!

Plus standard 5 EMAs and 5 SMAs (user-defined) are showing for specific chosen timeframe. No need to show them all, just check how many you want.
UM VIX status table and Roll Yield with EMA
Description :
This oscillator indicator gives you a quick snapshot of VIX, VIX futures prices, and the related VIX roll yield at a glance. When the roll yield is greater than 0, The front-month VX1 future contract is less than the next-month VX2 contract. This is called Contango and is typical for the majority of the time. If the roll yield falls below zero. This is considered backwardation where the front-month VX1 contract is higher than the value of the next-month VX2 contract. Contango is most common. When Backwardation occurs, there is usually high volatility present.
Features :
The red and green fill indicate the current roll yield with the gray line being zero.
An Exponential moving average is overlaid on the roll yield. It is red when trending down and green when trending up. If you right-click the indicator, you can set alerts for roll yield EMA color transitions green to red or red to green.
Suggested uses:
The author suggests a one hour chart using the 55 period EMA with a 60 minute setting in the indicator. This gives you a visual idea of whether the roll yield is rising or falling. The roll yield will often change directions at market turning points. For example if the roll yield EMA changes from red to green, this indicates a rising roll yield and volatility is subsiding. This could be considered bullish. If the roll yield begins falling, this indicates volatility is rising. This may be negative for stocks and indexes.
I look for short volatility positions (SVIX) when the roll yield is rising. I look for long volatility positions (VXX, UVXY, UVIX) when the roll yield begins falling. The indicator can be added to any chart. I suggest using the VX1, SPY, VIX, or other major stock index.
Set the time frame to your trading style. The default is 60 minutes. Note, the timeframe of the indicator does NOT utilize the current chart timeframe, it must be set to the desired timeframe. I manually input text on the chart indicator for understanding periods of Long and Short Volatility.
Settings and Defaults
The EMA is set to 55 by default and the table location is set to the lower right. The default time frame is 60 minutes. These features are all user configurable.
Other considerations
Sometimes the Tradingview data when a VX contract expires and another contract begins, may not transition cleanly and appear as a break on the chart. Tradingview is working on this as stated from my last request. This VX contract from one expiring contract to the next can be fixed on the price chart manually: ( Chart settings, Symbol, check the "Adjust for contract changes" box)
Observations
Pull up a one-hour chart of VX1 or SPY. Add this indicator. roll it back in time to see how the market and volatility reacts when the EMA changes from red to green and green to red. Adjust the EMA to your trading style and time frame. Use this for added confirmation of your long and short volatility trades with the Volatility ETFs SVIX, SVXY, VXX, UVXY, UVIX. or use it for long/short indexes such as SPY.
EMA + Lower Timeframe EMA (correct display in Replay Mode)This indicator shows
one EMA for the current timeframe
one EMA for a lower timeframe
Unlike the built-in Tradingview EMA indicator, this indicator shows the correct values for the lower timeframe EMA during Replay Mode.
Fibonacci EMA's with Bollinger Bands [Feniks]Many Fibonacci EMAs are calculated and then tracked using custom-colored candlesticks so that your chart remains very clean. This setup is mainly used for scalping on the 2min. Feniks uses gray candlesticks and then all of the custom-colored candlesticks to know when to react to price action.
WARNING: Do your own due diligence and try it out. Also, the script's default colors were determined with the chart's candlesticks being gray for both bullish/bearish candles. You'll probably have to change some of the colors to make use of the script if your chart's candlesticks are not similarly configured.
The main two strategies involve the 13/55 and 21/233.
The 13 EMA (blue) crosses above or below the 55 EMA (green).
- 13/55 Crossover is shown by the triggering candlestick being blue.
- 55/13 Crossunder is shown by the triggering candlestick being orange.
- (Alerts 1/2)
The 21 EMA (red) crosses above or below the 233 EMA (white).
- 21/233 Crossover is shown by the triggering candlestick being green.
- 233/21 Crossunder is shown by the triggering candlestick being red.
- (Alerts 3/4)

Multi Time Frame EMA Signal & ResistanceFull code and description: github.com/samgozman/MTF-EMA-Signal-and-Resistance
The idea of this script is quite simple. Imagine that you have a 200-day EMA and its support or resistance line is the 200-week EMA.
Then if EMA 200 1D > EMA 200 1W then the trend is bullish.
That is, EMA 200 1D is the signal line, and EMA 200 1W is the resistance.
Of course, you can independently set the time interval for the signal line and resistance, as well as the number of periods.
In addition to setting time intervals and period lengths, you can optionally enable the display of additional class EMAs.
You can also set the timeframe for the signal line equal to the current time period.

EMA 5/10/21 SMA 50/100/200The Script is mixture of both EMAs and SMAs. EMA 5/10/21 are powerful indicators for short term providing more weightage to the recent prices. SMA 50/100/200 provide the long term view.
5 Day EMA: This is a sign of strong momentum. It tracks the trend in the short term time frame. This is support in the strongest up trends. This line can only be used in low volatility trends with strong momentum. A break back above this line is a sign for me that an uptrend may be resuming. I primarily use it as an end of day trailing stop. It is rare that this line does not break intraday, even in the strongest trending markets.
• 10 day EMA: The 10 day EMA is a great moving average to use to keep you on the right side of the major market trend. It is usually the first line to be lost before any real trouble begins. It can be used as a standalone signal in some stocks and markets that tend to trend strongly in one direction for long periods.
• 21 day EMA: This is the intermediate term moving average. It is generally the last line of support in a volatile uptrend. To me, it is the inevitable reversion to the mean in a market when it finally pulls back after an extended trend.
• 50 day SMA: This is the line that strong leading stocks typically pull back to. This is usually the support level for strong uptrends. It is normal for uptrending markets to pull back to this line and find support. Most bull markets and uptrends will pull back to this level. It is generally a great “Buy the dip” level.
• 100 day SMA: This is the line that provides the support between the 50 day and the 200 day. If it does not hold as support, there is a high probability that the 200 day SMA is the next stop. This is the deeper pullback level in bull markets and uptrends. It usually presents a great risk/reward ratio in bull markets.
• 200 day SMA: Bulls like to buy dips when markets are trading above the 200 day moving average, while bears sell rallies short below it. Bears usually win below this line, as the 200 day becomes longer term resistance, and bulls buy pullbacks to the 200 day as long as the price stays above it. This line is one of the biggest signals in the market telling you which side to be on. Bull above, Bear below. Bad things happen to stocks and markets when this line is lost.
3 EMA & SMA (Market Cycle)Simple Indicator based on 3 Simple and 3 Exponential Moving Averages. Used to indicate Market Cycles.
Definition of Bull Market: 10 SMA is above 21 EMA . 30 SMA slope is up. 55 EMA is trending above 200 EMA .
Definition of Bear Market: 10 SMA is below 21 EMA . 30 SMA slope is down. 55 EMA is trending below 200 EMA .
EMA Cross EMA 21 50This script marks trending analisys when EMA 21 crosses EMA 50 in order to stablish a bullish or bearish trend. Also shows entry and quit points depending of EMA 3 crosses EMA 9.
EMA 200 is showed in order to take a better analisys of in or out
Also when RSI is down 30 level a purple flag is showed and an orange flag when 80 level is crossed up

Memecoin EMAs 28/36/50Description:
This script plots three exponential moving averages (EMAs) — 28, 36, and 50 periods — a trio I’ve relied on in my own trading, particularly in the fast-paced and unpredictable memecoin space.
The 28 and 36 EMAs react quickly to price changes, making them useful for spotting early momentum shifts and short-term trend reversals. The 50 EMA sits as a steadier mid-term guide, filtering out some of the noise while still keeping pace with the market’s energy.
Together, they create a layered view of short-to-mid-term price structure — helping you time entries on pullbacks, confirm breakouts, and maintain a sense of direction even when the chart looks like pure chaos.
Usage:
Apply to your chart to track short- and mid-term trends. Look for EMA crosses or price rejections at these levels to spot potential entries, exits, or shifts in momentum.
[davidev] EMA/MA with projection# EMA/MA with projection
## What it is
A lightweight overlay that plots up to three EMAs and one MA (default: 5/21/55 EMAs and 200 MA) and draws a forward projection from the current bar. The projection extrapolates the latest per-bar change (slope) to visualize where each average *could* be in the next N bars—useful for planning entries, dynamic support/resistance, and anticipating crossovers.
Note: The projection is a simple linear extrapolation of the most recent change. It is not a prediction or signal.
## How it works
Computes EMA1, EMA2, EMA3 and MA (SMA) on your chosen sources.
On the last bar only, it draws a short line segment ahead by `Bars Ahead`, using the most recent change (`ta.change()`) × number of bars to project the line.
Lines are **reused** and updated each tick (no clutter), and deleted on historical bars to avoid artifacts.
## Good for
Visualizing **dynamic levels** slightly ahead of price.
Quickly gauging **momentum** and **slope** of your moving averages.
Sketching possible **crossover timing** (e.g., 5 vs 21 EMA) without changing timeframe.
Cleaner charting: projection only renders on the last bar, so historical candles stay uncluttered.
## Tips
Combine with your market structure/volume tools; the projection helps **plan**, not predict.
Shorter EMAs react faster and will show more pronounced projected moves; longer MAs remain steadier.
Increase `Bars Ahead` on higher timeframes; keep it small on scalping charts to avoid overreach.
