Legacy Scalper - Trend Trading System
Legacy Scalper Trend Trading System
Welcome to the Legacy Scalper
This indicator is based on a trend trading strategy using multiple EMA's, with an added colored algo to help traders enter orders while simultaneously reducing noise in the markets by changing candlesticks to one solid color dependant upon direction of price.
This indicator capitalizes on short term momentum while ensuring that you are trading with the trend using the commonly known fact of EMA's being above or below price to ensure the trend.
The customization and plotting of different length EMA's allows for freedom to design your own system within the realm of the indicators, or use the recommended strategies below.
////////
The Legacy Scalper plots 3 main EMA's listed as following:
-50 EMA
-200 EMA
-800 EMA
Additionaly there is an algo coded into the mix that allows for:
- Tradingview alarms for buys and sells
- change of period (frequency) for buys and sells
- color selection of the moving average
- change all candlestick color dependant upon buy and sell alerts.

THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL OR INVESTMENT ADVICE AND SHOULD NOT BE INTERPRETED AS SUCH.
Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
