Swing [SMRT Algo]

16. Aug.

The SMRT Algo Swing indicator is a tool tailored for swing trading, designed to provide traders with insights and entry points on higher timeframes, such as the 1-hour (1H) chart and above. This indicator incorporates a range of features to enhance both trend identification and risk management.

Features:

• Bar Colors: The indicator employs a straightforward color-coding system to denote market trends: red bars indicate a bearish trend, and green bars indicate a bullish trend. This immediate visual representation aids traders in quickly discerning the prevailing market direction, facilitating swift decision-making.
  
• Buy & Sell Signals: SMRT Algo Swing generates distinct buy and sell signals categorized into two levels, weak and strong.
  - Weak Signals: These signals are generated when the basic entry criteria are met. They serve as early alerts to potential trading opportunities, suitable for traders willing to take on more risk or those employing a more aggressive trading strategy.
  - Strong Signals: Generated when additional, more stringent conditions are satisfied, these signals indicate higher-probability trade setups.
  
• EMA Filter: The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) filter is a feature that facilitates trend trading. When turned on, the filter ensures that only signals that align with the prevailing trend are displayed. This helps in avoiding counter-trend trades, which can be riskier and less reliable. The EMA length is customizable, allowing traders to adjust the sensitivity of trend detection based on their trading style and market conditions.
  
• Take Profit & Stop Loss Levels: TP & SL levels are pre-calculated based on a risk-reward ratio:
  - TP1: Indicates a conservative 1:1 risk-reward ratio, suitable for quick profit-taking. Goes up to TP3. This approach to TP and SL can help traders define their risk exposure clearly and set realistic profit targets.
  

Strong signals are designed to provide highly accurate entry points, often referred to as "sniper entries," due to their precision in aligning with market trends. The option to display weak, strong, or both types of signals allows traders to tailor the indicator to their specific trading preferences and risk profiles.







Input Settings:

• Bar Color: Bar colors can be turned on/off. Green candles show a bullish market/trend, while red candles show bearish.
  
• Signal: Choose to show either only Strong/Weak/Both buy & sell signals.
  
• Lookback Period: The higher the lookback period, the less frequent the signals. Adjusting this value affects the frequency of the buy sell signals.
  
• EMA Filter: Trend filter can be turned on/off. If on, it will only show buy signals that are above the EMA, and sell signals that are below the EMA.
  
• Timeframe: EMA timeframe can be adjusted, i.e. to view higher timeframe trends.
  
• Length: Used to adjust EMA length. A smaller value means that EMA is more susceptible to market movements.
  
• TP/SL: The take profit & stop loss zones can be turned on/off. The size of TP/SL can also be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the multiplier and length values.
