Pip collector [LazyBear] — Indicator by LazyBear

lazybear custom indicators forex strategy

A simple but effective Forex strategy requested by user @pipcollector.

Suggested chart timeframe is 5mins.

Indicator marks potential long/short entries based on the following conditions:

LONG
------

Price above pip median ema on daily, 4 hour and 1 hour timeframe. These 3 timeframes and median EMA lengths are configurable.
Background color is set to GREEN (if option is enabled).
As soon as price touches or crosses the median ema, a GREEN arrow is shown to mark potential long.

SHORT
------

Price below pip median ema on daily, 4 hour and 1 hour timeframe. These 3 timeframes and median EMA lengths are configurable.
Background color is set to RED (if option is enabled).
As soon as price touches or crosses the median ema, a RED arrow is shown to mark potential short.

NO SETUP
-----------

Moving averages do not align on the 3 timeframes.
Background color is set to GRAY (if option is enabled)

I have noticed that this works well on other instruments too (anything trending), also on higher time frames. Feel free to leave any questions/comments on this below.
