Crypto Cradle v6
A long signal (green bar background) is flagged if a small bullish candle is in/around the EMA10/20 cradle.
A short signal (red bar background) is flagged if a small bearish candle is in/around the EMA10/20 cradle.
Other factors must be present such as MACD convergence and higher timeframe trend.
The blue bar is the entry. The red bar is the stop.
The strategy is designed to discretionally trade trending cryptocurrency assets.
SETTINGS:
Experiment with the zig-zag trend sensitivity (3-4 works best) to match entry timeframe trend detection.
* 'Zig Zag - Must require pullback trend' - sometimes a small bullish / bearish candle can appear in the cradle zone without a clear pullback (ie price has travelled sideways into the EMAs). Switch this on in an attempt to exclude such pull-backs.
* 'Zig Zag - Require extra trend zig' - trend is determined by a H, L, HH, HL forming (for long). Tis setting requests one more trend-aligned zig/zag (ie L, H, HL, HH, HL).
* 'Zig Zag - Show Higher Time Period Trend' - the trend sensitivity is doubled to estimate higher timeframe trend. This visualises what the algorithm has determined as the higher timeframe zig-zag pivot points .
* 'Minimum candles since outer pivot' - this attempts to exclude signals that occur after a dramatic pull-back.
* 'Entry Candle Offset Max' - how many bars to wait for entry
PROFIT TAKING:
There are many ways to take profit after entry - trailing stops, scaling out 50% at 1:1, fixed targets, fib extensions, etc. This is out of scope for this indicator.
I have included a basic 1:1 level line (dull green when enabled) and a fixed target level line ( bright green when enabled) that uses a risk/reward multiplier.
ALERT:
To create a generic alert, click the + button in the Alerts panel, select 'Crypto Cradle v6' from the first list, select 'Cradle v6 Short/Long Alert' from the second list, and select 'Once Per Bar Close'. Don't forget to add the timeframe to the message.
