Intro

  • In this article I will review a FREE TRADINGVIEW indicator I made and how you can use it in your trading
  • Designed for traders who have done the Brooks Trading Course and understand how PA traders use the MA
  • Designed for traders who understand what ALWAYS IN means in Al Brooks trading

Video

  • I made a video on this here: [Coming Soon]

Explainer – Rainbow EMA

  • Indicator that changes colour based on whether price is above or below
  • Indicator that changes colour based on whether there are 2 consecutive good closes above / below the MA (Always In)
  • Optional Always-In arrows to show who’s in control – based on minimum of two closes above/below MA. Goto settings, select SHOW ALWAYS IN

Missing Wedge Entries

  • Always in is not an easy concept in trading ranges – always flipping back and forth.
  • Traders believe the market WILL NOT breakout. So as soon as a signal appears, that is often the start of a reversal

Signal Triggers above / below prior opposite signal

https://www.tradingview.com/x/liBbxM0P/
  • Always in LONG signal fails and a new SHORT signal appears below it. Likely MM and 1 x Risk.

3 Signals is one way to count a Wedge

  • You can use it for LEG COUNTING as well.
  • Every-time consecutive bars appear, count a leg.
  • Here we see consecutive wedge bottoms as the reversal.

Strong trend then first opposite signal – prob minor reversal

https://www.tradingview.com/x/Qsk7i1X3/
  • Always in can be used to identify the first counter-trend signal, the trendline break.
  • But don’t take it. Instead look for a test of the extreme.

Remember where you took your loss – don’t re-enter the same way there

  • Always in LONG here was a losing trade.
  • So don’t REENTER at that LOSS area.
  • Wait for another signal to develop.

Trading Ranges

  • Stop following the signals
  • The DBBLF (Double Bottom Bull Flag) at the first circle was a better LONG

  • Watch video for detailed explanation

Conclusion

  • I hope this indicator helps you use the MA and ALWAYS IN in your trading and your research to improve your price action skills.

      Hi mate – what is the issue – mine works ok- I’m not a coder so likely the code is not as efficient – did you select show always in / acceleration?

    Did the always-in feature get removed? It no longer seems to work and other than the switch to turn it on and off I do not see any references to it in the code (v6).

        Thanks for the quick reply. There are definitely features back although the scaling is odd but that could be just me as I’m new to Tradingview. I’ll check in more detail tomorrow as it’s late here now and see if I can work it out. Cheers.
