قبل ٤ أيام

This indicator combines momentum analysis across two timeframes to identify high-probability trading opportunities. It plots the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) for both the chart timeframe and a higher timeframe (default 10 minutes) to help traders align with the broader market trend.
Key Features

Displays SMI and its EMA for both timeframes
Background shading indicates favorable trading conditions
Signal dots mark potential entry points
Customizable parameters for fine-tuning

Signals Explained
Bullish Signals (Green Dots)

Appear when the chart timeframe SMI crosses above its EMA
Only trigger during periods when the higher timeframe shows:

SMI is above its EMA (increasing momentum)
SMI is between -40 and +40 (not overbought/oversold)



Bearish Signals (Red Dots)

Appear when the chart timeframe SMI crosses below its EMA
Only trigger during periods when the higher timeframe shows:

SMI is below its EMA (decreasing momentum)
SMI is between -40 and +40 (not overbought/oversold)



Settings

%K Length: Lookback period for SMI calculation (default: 10)
%D Length: Smoothing period for primary calculation (default: 3)
EMA Length: Smoothing period for signal line (default: 3)
Alternative Timeframe: Higher timeframe for trend analysis (default: 10 minutes)

Best Practices

Use higher timeframe signals to determine market bias
Wait for signal dots in the chart timeframe for entry timing
Avoid trades when higher timeframe SMI is in extreme zones (above 40 or below -40)
Consider additional confirmation from price action or other indicators

Note: This indicator combines trend and momentum analysis but should be used as part of a complete trading strategy that includes proper risk management.
