Elder impulse system with barcolor + Safezone stops + emasThe impulse system :
The Impulse System combines two simple but powerful indicators.
One measures market inertia, the other its momentum. When both
point in the same direction, they identify an impulse worth following.
We get an entry signal when both indicators get in gear.
The Impulse System uses an exponential moving average to find
uptrends and downtrends. When the EMA rises, it shows that inertia
favors the bulls. When EMA falls, inertia works for the bears. The sec-
ond component is MACD-Histogram, an oscillator whose slope reflects
changes of power among bulls or bears. When MACD-Histogram rises,
it shows that bulls are becoming stronger. When it falls, it shows that
bears are growing stronger.
The Impulse System flags those bars where both the inertia and the
momentum point in the same direction. When both the EMA and
MACD-Histogram rise, they show that bulls are roaring and the uptrend
is accelerating.
The SafeZone Stop :
Once in a trade, where should you put your stop? This is one of the
hardest questions in technical analysis. After answering it, you’ll face
an even harder one—when and where to move that stop with the pas-
sage of time. Put a stop too close and it’ll get whacked by some mean-
ingless intraday swing. Put it too far, and you’ll have very skimpy
protection.
The Parabolic System, described in Trading for a Living, tried to
tackle this problem by moving stops closer to the market each day,
accelerating whenever a stock or a commodity reached a new extreme.
The trouble with Parabolic was that it kept moving even if the market
stayed flat and often got hit by meaningless noise.
SafeZone trails prices with stops tight enough to protect
capital but remote enough to keep clear of most random fluctuations.
Engineers design filters to suppress noise and allow the signal to come
through. If the trend is the signal, then the countertrend motion is the
noise. When the trend is up, we can define noise as that part of each
day’s range that protrudes below the previous day’s low. When the trend
is down, we can define noise as that part of each day’s range that pro-
trudes above the previous day’s high. SafeZone measures market noise
and places stops at a multiple of noise level away from the market.
We can make our lookback period 100 days or so if we want to aver-
age long-term market behavior.
SafeZone offers an original approach to placing stops. It monitors
changes in prices and adapts stops to the current levels of activity. It
places stops at individually tailored distances rather than at obvious
support and resistance levels.
Elder
Modiied Elder Ray Index(Bull or Bear)Here's a modified version of the Elder Ray Index created by the famed Dr.Alexander Elder. This indicator has proven to be especially helpful lately given the crazy state of crypto.
Slow Moving Average :
The top chart shows the moving average used to filter trends. I recommend using a higher window length(can be adjusted with the 'lenSlowMA' input option). I wanted this to be a very smooth moving average, so I used the following formula:
slow MA = ema(vwma(close, 64), 64)
This resulted in a pretty smooth line that still detects major price movements very well.
-The background and bar colors both change in response to the Slow MA's value. The background and bars change to green when a bullish trend is detected and red when bearish.
Bear and Bull Power :
To balance things out a little, I included two histogram's based on Elder's Ray. Here, a more responsive EMA with a shorter window length is used to calculate the bull and bear power values and track short-term price fluctuations.
NOTE: The length of the EMA used here can be adjusted in the input menu.
Bull Power = current high - EMA(close, 13)
Bear Power = current low - EMA(close, 13)
DEMA ATR Channels - New IndicatorA Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) with three sets of channel lines each one Average True Range (ATR) apart, above and below the DEMA.
Similar to my "ATR Channels" indicator, but using a DEMA instead of an EMA for the base. In addition, this indicator also plots a fast DEMA as well as a fill between the two. Fully customizable, you can toggle both DEMAs, the fill, and each set of ATR Channels.
ATR channel idea from Kerry Lovvorn as mentioned in Elder's "New Trading for a Living", page 93: "Kerry Lovvorn likes to plot 3 sets of lines around a moving average: at one, two, and three ATRs above and below an EMA . These can be used for setting up entry points and stops, as well as profit targets."
ATR ChannelsAn Exponential Moving Average (EMA) with three sets of channel lines each one Average True Range (ATR) apart, above and below the EMA. Fully customizable, you can toggle the EMA and ATR set visibility, line colors, etc.

Chandelier ExitThis is a redesign of the Chandelier Exit indicator. It removes stupid transitions between Chandelier Exit' states and highlights initial points for both lines.
This indicator was originally developed by Charles Le Beau and popularized by Dr. Alexander Elder in his book "Come Into My Trading Room: A Complete Guide to Trading" (2002).
In short, this is a trailing stop-loss based on the Average True Range (ATR).
Total Power IndicatorHello traders!
This indicator was originally developed by Daniel Fernandez (Currency Trader magazine, 2011).
It is based on the two well-known indicators by Dr. Alexander Elder - Bulls Power and Bears Power.
Signals
1) Long when Bull and Total lines indicate 100 (it happens rarely)
2) Short when Bear and Total lines indicate 100 (it happens rarely)
3) Bull and Bear lines crossovers
4) Long when Bull line crosses Total line from below
5) Short when Bear line crosses Total line from below
6) Long/Short when Bull/Bear lines cross adjustable level.

Elder's Impulse SystemSimilar indicators already published have modifications with respect to Elder's theory. This indicator fulfills literally what is described in the New Trading For A Living.
Smoothed Rate of ChangeSmoothed Rate of Change indicator script.
This indicator was originally developed by Fred G. Schutzman.
Elder's Force Index Double combined by iduThe idea is to see Elder's force index smoothed EMA in different time frame simultaneously.
Default intervals are (2) and (13)
Base on samuel16 script.
Elder Impulse System with AutoEnvelope combined by iduThe idea is to combine Elder Impulse System with AutoEnvelope. It's usefull for free accounts to have more indicators on chart.
So what would on chart:
- fast ema
- slow ema
- AutoEnvelope
- Bar colour changed after signals of upcending/discending fast ema + upcending/discending macd
I've used Elder Impulse System by samuel16 and Elder's AutoEnvelope indicator by jamiespips. Thanks to both of them.

Bull And Bear Balance Strategy This new indicator analyzes the balance between bullish and
bearish sentiment.
One can cay that it is an improved analogue of Elder Ray indicator.
To get more information please see "Bull And Bear Balance Indicator"
by Vadim Gimelfarb.
Average True Range ChannelsPlots three Average True Range channels as described in Alexander Elder's "The New Trading for a Living".
You can adjust the EMA and ATR days that are the basis of these channels.
This is my first script – happy to get any feedback on this! Thanks :)
Elder SafeZone StopsSearched the public library and didn't find an existing indicator so I'm publishing my version.
