8MA Compass — HTF map + GC/DC cues

10 de set.

8MA Compass provides a clean trend context by combining strict 4-of-4 confluence (Current TF vs Higher TF) with SMA200 repainting on Golden/Death Cross (GC/DC).

What it shows

• 4-of-4 background (context): compares EMA10, EMA20, SMA50, SMA200 on the Current TF against the same four MAs on the Higher TF (HTF).
  
• All 4 above their HTF values → bullish background.
  
• All 4 below their HTF values → bearish background.
  

SMA200 color on GC/DC (Current TF):

• Last signal is DC and price below SMA200 → SMA200 turns red.
  
• Price above SMA200 but the last signal is DC (no GC afterward) → SMA200 stays base color.
  
• Last signal is GC and price above SMA200 → SMA200 turns green #089981.
  

Why “8MA”? The 4-of-4 logic uses 8 moving averages in total: 4 on the Current TF and 4 on the HTF (EMA10/20 and SMA50/200 on both frames). HTF EMAs are used in calculations but are not plotted by default—hence the name 8MA Compass.

Auto HTF mapping

• Current 1H → HTF 4H
  
• Current 4H → HTF 1D
  
• Current 1D → HTF 1W
  
• All other timeframes: HTF defaults to Current TF (4-of-4 will typically be neutral).
  
• Manual mode: choose any HTF. If Manual HTF equals Current TF, HTF SMAs are hidden to avoid overlap.
  

Settings
1. Display

• Show CURRENT TF — plot EMA10/20, SMA50/200 on Current TF.
  
• Show HARD TF — plot SMA50/200 on HTF (hidden if HTF == Current TF).
  
• HTF mode — Auto / Manual, with Hard TF (Manual) selector.
  

2. Filter

• Show base background (4-of-4) — enable/disable confluence shading.
  
• Epsilon (in ticks) — small tolerance in Cur vs HTF comparisons to reduce flicker.
  

3. Golden/Death

• Color SMA200 on GC/DC (Cur TF) — repaint SMA200 on GC/DC per rules above (enabled by default).
  

Alerts

• GC/DC (Current TF, SMA50/200): Golden Cross / Death Cross (on bar close).
  
• EMA10/20 (Current TF): “Bull regime ON” / “Bear regime ON” on crossovers.
  
• Optional HTF GC/DC alerts (SMA50/200 on chosen HTF).
  

Visual details

• HTF SMA50/200 are drawn first; Current TF lines are drawn on top for clarity.
  
• SMA200 (Current TF) is drawn last (and slightly thicker) to remain readable.
  
• HTF EMAs are used in 4-of-4 logic but not plotted by design.
  

Usage

1. Use the 4-of-4 background as inter-timeframe momentum context.
2. Use SMA200 color to gauge long-term regime confirmation:

• Prefer longs when last GC and price holds above SMA200 (#089981 line).
  
• Avoid longs when last DC and price is below SMA200 (red line).

MA Compass delivers a clean, actionable context by combining (1) regime-aware moving averages on the current timeframe, (2) a thin HTF SMA200 layer, and (3) Bill Williams Fractals with level lines for precise break/flip triggers.

What changed vs the old “8MA Compass”
• Removed the “4-of-4” confluence logic and its background shading.
• Removed HTF EMA10/EMA20 and HTF SMA50 from logic and plots.
• Removed “Epsilon (ticks)” and all HTF-confluence inputs.
• Removed optional HTF GC/DC alerts.
• Kept Auto-HTF mapping; HTF layer is now SMA200 only (thin, 1 px).
• Added Bill Williams Fractals with mandatory Teeth filter (above/below).
• Added fractal level lines (Ray/Segment), max-lines cap, and auto-delete on break.

What it shows now
• Current TF: EMA21 (color = local trend), optional EMA10, SMA50, SMA200 (dynamic color).
• HTF: SMA200 (auto-mapped or manual).
• Fractals: BW triangles at pivot bars + horizontal fractal levels.

Color logic
• EMA21 color = local trend:
– Green → bullish bias.
– Red → bearish bias.
– Base line color → neutral/transition.
• SMA200 color (Current TF):
– Green (#089981): last signal is Golden Cross and price is above SMA200 → bullish regime.
– Red: last signal is Death Cross and price is below SMA200 → bearish regime.
– Blue (base): no strong regime → range or complex correction.

Simple trading workflow
1. Bias: Follow EMA21 color for the local trend. Best setups align with a green SMA200 for longs or a red SMA200 for shorts. If SMA200 is blue, expect chop/range; tighten risk.
2. Triggers (trade with the local trend):
– Bull case: break and close above the latest bearish-fractal level → optional retest (flip to support).
– Bear case: break and close below the latest bullish-fractal level → optional retest (flip to resistance).
3. Risk: Initial stop beyond the opposite fractal level (or k×ATR). Invalidate if EMA21 flips against you or SMA200 color degrades (e.g., green → blue/red for longs).
4. Management: Scale at prior swing levels; trail behind newly formed fractals. Avoid fresh entries when SMA200 is blue and EMA21 keeps flipping (choppy regime).
5. HTF context: Prefer trades that also look reasonable vs the HTF SMA200 slope (visually rising/falling), but do not override local invalidation rules.
