Brooks Always In

Overview:
The "Brooks Always In Indicator" by KintsugiTrading is a tool designed for traders who follow price action methodologies inspired by Al Brooks. This indicator identifies key bar patterns and breakouts, plots an Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and highlights consecutive bullish and bearish bars. It is intended to assist traders in making informed decisions based on price action dynamics.

Identifies and highlights consecutive bullish and bearish bars.
Differentiates between bars that are above/below the EMA and those that are not.

The EMA can be smoothed using various methods such as SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, and VWMA.

First, I like to navigate to the top right corner of the chart (bolt icon), and change both the bull and bear body color to match the background (white/black) - this helps the user visualize the indicator far better.

Next, Toggle to display EMA, consecutive bar patterns, and consecutive bars relative to the moving average using the provided input options.
Adjust the EMA length, source, and offset as per your trading strategy.
Select the smoothing method and length for the EMA if desired.
