Overview
Higher Timeframe Trend requests the EMA through request.security and, when the chosen timeframe is shorter than the chart, falls back to the chart period. The main settings choose the higher timeframe from 60 minutes, daily, weekly, or monthly, and set the EMA length. It draws on the price chart. There are no trade signals or exit rules.
- Higher-timeframe EMA via request.security
- Green or red line and background by price versus EMA
- Fallback to the chart timeframe when the selection is shorter
- Timeframe choices of 60 minutes, daily, weekly, or monthly
- Adjustable EMA length
