Overview

EMA Ribbon Test Suite v1.5 verifies indicator calculations, trend context filters, signal generation, suppression rules, and cooldown mechanics using custom assertions. Test results are recorded into an array of custom types that track pass or fail statuses across critical and low severity levels. The test harness displays in a separate pane and uses hardcoded parameters reflecting an 8/21/34 EMA ribbon and an 8/21/5 MACD setup.

Risk Notes

No repainting, lookahead or stacked entries were found in its code or README. That says nothing about how well it works: test it first.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints.
