Illustrative graphic only. Not real market data.
OverviewWhat it does
Our flagship gold system: 9/21 EMA crossover with H1 and H4 trend filters, MACD confirmation, reference levels and a status dashboard.
FeaturesWhat is inside
9 / 21 EMA crossover
Confirmed crossovers of the 9 and 21 EMAs, evaluated at the close of each 1-hour candle.
H1 and completed-H4 trend filters
Requires price to sit on the correct side of the 1-hour 200 EMA and the last completed 4-hour candle to align with a rising or falling 4-hour 200 EMA. Each filter can be switched off.
MACD confirmation
Choose Off, histogram sign, or histogram plus zero line (the default) for the momentum check.
EARLY watch markers
Marks crossovers that pass every test except the MACD zero line as an amber “EARLY” watch event. These are watch-only and never change the reference position.
Reference levels
Plots a reference entry (the next 1-hour open), an ATR-based safety stop (2.5× ATR by default) and TP1 and TP2 reference levels at 1R and 2R by default.
Opposite-cross exit
The primary exit reference is the opposite confirmed EMA cross, shown with exit markers. TP levels are reference only.
Direction control
Show both directions, long only or short only.
Optional delayed long confirmation
An optional one-bar delayed long rule (“L+1”) is available and switched off by default.
Status dashboard
EMA state, H1 trend, H4 regime, MACD, reference position state, entry/stop, TP1/TP2, primary exit and current action.
One combined alert
Create a single TradingView alert using “Any alert() function call” and receive every enabled event with its direction and meaning.
