Signal Overlay Inspired by Azarus: Enhanced Trend and Reversal Detection with Custom Sensitivity

Key Features of the Script:

1. Customizable Buy/Sell Signal Generation:
   • Detects buy (B/B+) and sell (S/S+) signals based on ATR, moving averages, and trend reversals.
   • Differentiates between strong and standard signals using price-relative EMA (200) positioning.
2. ATR-Based Risk Management:
   • Utilizes ATR (Average True Range) for dynamic trailing stop-loss levels.
   • Adjusts sensitivity based on user-defined multipliers and smoothing parameters.
3. Dynamic Trend Analysis:
   • Tracks flexible or trailing trends using various moving average types (SMA, EMA, HMA, etc.).
   • Integrates directional trend lines for visualizing upward and downward trends.
4. Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Compatibility:
   • Incorporates MTF signals for overlaying higher timeframe insights onto lower timeframe charts.
   • Enables users to adjust sensitivity and reactivity for MTF analysis independently.
5. Visualized Reversal Zones:
   • Marks potential reversal zones with labels (“Reversal to Buy” or “Reversal to Sell”) based on trend changes.
   • Highlights reversal points for improved trade planning.
6. Custom Visualization Options:
   • Offers gradient candle coloring and customizable line styles for trend visualizations.
   • Allows toggling of individual elements like trend lines, labels, and bar coloring.
7. Alerts and Notifications:
   • Alerts for buy/sell signals, trend shifts, and specific signal strength conditions.
   • Configurable alert messages to align with personal trading strategies.

Recommended Usage:

1. Scalping and Day Trading:
   • Use real-time buy/sell signals with ATR-based trailing stops for short-term trades.
   • Leverage MTF insights for confirmation of intraday trends.
2. Swing and Trend Trading:
   • Follow directional trend lines and reversal zones to capture broader market movements.
   • Combine sensitivity adjustments with longer smoothing periods for swing strategies.
3. Risk Management:
   • Utilize ATR-based stop-loss and target levels to manage risk effectively.
   • Monitor signal strength and trend positioning relative to EMA 200 for added trade confidence.
4. Trend Reversal Strategies:
   • Identify key reversal zones using the labeled signals and directional trend lines.
   • Confirm signals with MTF overlays for higher probability setups.

Script Evaluation:

• Functionality: 4.6/5
  The script effectively combines trend detection, risk management, and multi-timeframe analysis for comprehensive market insights.
• Ease of Use: 4.2/5
  Advanced features like sensitivity adjustments and MTF settings might require learning for beginners, but they provide excellent flexibility for experienced traders.
• Accuracy: 4.5/5
  Reliable signal generation and trend detection when configured appropriately for the trading style and market conditions.
• Repainting Analysis:
  After rigorous evaluation, this script does not repaint. Signals and trend changes are based on confirmed bar data, ensuring consistent and reliable results for both historical and live charting.
• Author and Development Quality:
  The script does not include explicit author attribution. Its modular design and extensive functionality reflect solid technical expertise but could benefit from optimization for smoother execution and reduced redundancy.
• Overall Score: 4.5/5
  A robust trading tool for advanced traders, offering dynamic trend analysis, customizable signals, and multi-timeframe capabilities. However, its complexity may deter new traders without prior scripting or technical analysis knowledge.
