Trend & Momentum V2

Updated

Declutter your charts. Simple indicator combining trend and momentum using Moving Average (currently default to 9-day EMA) and RSI (default length of 8). A long signal is generated when the price closes above the moving average and the moving average color turns red to green which indicated that the momentum measured using RSI is greater than 50. A short signal is generated when the price closes below the moving average and the moving average color turns green to red indicating RSI is below 50. Confirmation is done if there is no reversal on the next candle. For best results use multiple timeframe charts to trade on the right side of trend and momentum.
