Gatekeeper
The Gatekeeper is based on the 30 and 34 ema and their mtf / 3D charting from the seconds to weekly charts. The 34 ema functions as a gatekeeper of the 30 minute chart and similar to the slow guppies, the 30 ema and the 34 ema function as a gatekeeper of a trend. I have included the zone fill for some time frames on this indicator that aids the trader to identify changes in trends or gauge the strength of the current trend. With the utilization of mtf / 3d charting you will see how the higher time frame 30 and/or 34 emas function as a gatekeeper of those particular time frames as well.
The degree of separation between the 13 ema and the longer term moving averages can be used as an indicator of trend strength. If there's a wide separation, then the prevailing trend is strong. Narrow separation or lines that are criss-crossing, indicates a weakening trend or a period of consolidation.
The crossover of the 13 ema and long-term moving averages 30, 34 and 62 represent trend reversals. If the 13 ema crosses above the long-term moving averages, then a bullish reversal has occurred. If the 13 ema crosses below the longer-term moving averages, then a bearish reversal is occurring. When both groups of MAs are moving horizontally or mostly moving sideways and heavily intertwined, it means the asset lacks a price trend and therefore may not be a good candidate for trend trades. A breakout of sort will be coming and it is best to be patient. These periods may be good for range trading.
