ITG Scalper

ITG Scalper by Complector.

Inspired by Juboal-Rabaroansa Perosteck Alseyn Balveda dam T'seif

Methology:
- I am using a TEMA (triple EMA) to determine the local trend direction and to give buy & sell signals when the trend changes.
- An optional filter, using moving average convergence divergence (MACD), can be switched on to filter out 'false' signals.
- The calculation of the TEMA does not request data from a resolution higher or lower than the resolution of the main charts symbol,
However, the filter function does, if another resolution is chosen for the filter.
- Persistent variables are used for buy and sell prices, enabling color-coding of the sell-signal (profitable or not).

Features:
- Color coded TEMA - bullish=green , bearish=red
- Buy/Sell indicator - Sell indicator: green=profit, yellow=loss
- Optional noise filter
- Optional variable time-frame for noise filter

Remarks:
In my experience, the default values works best on the daily time frame. I encourage everyone to experiment with the values for best results.
Using the script on non-standard charts (Heikin Ashi, Renko etc.) can produce unrealistic results.
Using a resolution higher or lower than the main charts symbol for the filter can possibly lead to repainting.


Thanks to Iain M. Banks for making my life richer :-)
