MTF Confirmation v2
Multi-Timeframe Direction Confirmation Indicator
📊 Overview
This Pine Script indicator provides high-probability buy and sell signals by confirming that both 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes are moving in the same direction. It eliminates false signals by requiring multiple timeframe agreement before generating alerts.
🎯 How It Works
Trend Detection Method:
EMA Analysis: Uses 20-period Exponential Moving Average to determine trend direction
RSI Confirmation: 14-period RSI validates momentum (>50 bullish, <50 bearish)
Price Action: Confirms price is above/below EMA in trend direction
EMA Slope: Ensures EMA is actually rising (bullish) or falling (bearish)
Signal Generation:
BUY Signal: Only when BOTH 1M and 5M timeframes are bullish simultaneously
SELL Signal: Only when BOTH 1M and 5M timeframes are bearish simultaneously
Cooldown System: Prevents signal spam with 5-bar minimum between signals
