BUY, SELL, RESUME, & CAUTION signal (EMA 9 & 20 + MACD)

ON CHART BUY, SELL, CAUTION signal (with RESUME)

What it does
A clean, on-chart signal set that works on whatever timeframe your chart is on. It prints labeled circles above the bar and draws a thin connector line with a tiny arrow that points to the bar. All shapes are kept above both EMAs and never touch wicks—spacing is ATR-based and fully adjustable.

Signals
• BUY – when EMA(9) crosses above EMA(20).
• SELL – when EMA(9) crosses below EMA(20).
• CAUTION – MACD momentum crosses against the current EMA trend
◦ Bull trend (EMA9 > EMA20) + MACD cross down → CAUTION
◦ Bear trend (EMA9 < EMA20) + MACD cross up → CAUTION
• RESUME – after a CAUTION, MACD crosses back with the EMA trend. The circle is labeled “RESUME” (green for bull, red for bear).

Why traders use it
• Trade with the current: BUY/SELL reflect short-vs-long EMA control on your active timeframe.
• Early risk heads-up: CAUTION flags a momentum flip against trend.
• Re-engage cleanly: RESUME helps rejoin the move after a wobble.
• Uncluttered visuals: Circles/lines/arrows are spaced off price and kept above EMAs for clarity.


Inputs
Core
• EMA Fast / EMA Slow (default 9 / 20)
• MACD Fast / Slow / Signal (default 12 / 26 / 9)
• Show circles with text, Plot EMAs
• Wait for candle close (prevents intrabar flicker; signals/alerts confirm at close)
Spacing (ATR-based)
• Gap above wick
• Base connector length
• Extra circle lift
• Line top gap under circle (so the line doesn’t touch the circle)
• Pad above higher EMA
• Extra arrow clearance above EMAs

Alerts
• BUY Crossover, SELL Crossover, MACD CAUTION, BUY Resume, SELL Resume.
• Respect the Wait for candle close setting. For close-only alerts, also choose “Once per bar close” in the alert dialog.

Suggested use
• Let BUY/SELL define bias on your chart timeframe.
• Treat CAUTION as a brake—tighten risk or wait.
• Use RESUME to re-enter when momentum realigns with trend.
• Combine with higher-TF context and your own entry/exit rules.

Notes
• Works on futures, stocks, FX, and crypto.
• Signals are calculated on the current chart timeframe (no security calls).
• With Wait for candle close ON, signals/alerts confirm at close and do not repaint.
• Educational tool only—this is not financial advice.
• When price action is sideways and choppy, this indicator doesn't function well, when this happens, wait until a trend is established and then try to get in when price touches the 9 EMA line for a higher profitability trade
