Multi-Timeframe Signal Alignment EA

🧠 Overview

This EA uses 4 indicators × 3 timeframes — fully configurable. Each indicator (EMA, ADX, MACD, AO) can be independently turned ON/OFF per timeframe, allowing you to build custom strategies with single or combined filters.

✅ Entry Conditions

A Buy Trade is opened when all selected (enabled = true) indicator conditions are met across all active timeframes (HTF, ITF, ETF).

A Sell Trade is opened when the opposite conditions are met.

🔹 1. EMA (Exponential Moving Average)

Buy Condition:

Candle closes above EMA on all enabled timeframes.

Sell Condition:

Candle closes below EMA on all enabled timeframes.

✅ EMA conditions must be met individually on HTF, ITF, and ETF if enabled.

🔹 ADX (Average Directional Index)

Buy Condition:

ADX value > selected level (e.g., 20) AND +DI > -DI on all enabled timeframes.

Sell Condition:

ADX value > selected level AND -DI > +DI on all enabled timeframes.

✅ If ADX is enabled on multiple timeframes, each must pass the condition.

🔹 MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)

Buy Condition:

MACD line crosses above zero or is already above zero on all enabled timeframes.

Sell Condition:

MACD line crosses below zero or is already below zero on all enabled timeframes.

✅ Confirm that MACD condition matches across all enabled timeframes.

🔹 AO (Awesome Oscillator)

Buy Condition:

AO bar is green (positive momentum) on all enabled timeframes.

Sell Condition:

AO bar is purple (negative momentum) on all enabled timeframes.

✅ AO should show consistent color signal across all active frames.

Multi-Timeframe Entry Logic Core Scenarios (1–4) – Introduction

These scenarios describe how indicator conditions are evaluated across multiple timeframes (HTF, ITF, ETF) in different combinations. They help define the logic for when a trade should be allowed based on which indicators are enabled, on which timeframe, and how they interact (AND/OR logic, priority, etc.). Each scenario shows a unique configuration that the EA must support for flexible strategy building.

For more flexible configurations, see Strategy Examples (5–8) in the appendix section below.

✅ Scenario 1: Same Indicator Across Timeframes (Strict Match)

Logic: If an indicator is enabled on multiple timeframes (HTF, ITF, ETF), each timeframe must meet its condition independently.

Example: If EMA is enabled on HTF, ITF, and ETF → price must be above EMA on all three to allow a Buy.

Use case: Ensures full trend alignment across timeframes.

✅ Scenario 2: Multiple Indicators on Same Timeframes

Logic: If multiple indicators (e.g., MACD + ADX) are active on the same timeframes, each one must pass for that timeframe.

Use case: Strengthens signal confirmation on one or more timeframes.

Example: If MACD and ADX are enabled on ITF and ETF → both MACD and ADX must meet their conditions on ITF and ETF to allow a Buy.

✅ Scenario 3: Single Indicator Standalone, Single Timeframe

Logic: If only one indicator is enabled on a single timeframe, it alone controls the entry logic.

Use case: Light/simple filtering strategy.

Example: If only EMA on ETF is enabled → trade is allowed based on EMA on ETF alone.

✅ Scenario 4: Multiple Indicators Across Timeframes AND Logic

Logic: When several indicators are enabled across multiple timeframes, all must pass (strict AND logic across all conditions).

Use case: Very strong confirmation before trade entry.

Example: If EMA is active on HTF, ITF, ETF and AO is active on the ETF → price must be above EMA on all 3 timeframes and the AO bar must be green on the ETF.

🔧 Trade Execution & Management

This section defines how trades are opened, managed, and closed, with flexible options to suit both conservative and aggressive strategies across all indicators and timeframes.

🔁 Trade Execution Type

1. Standard (Single Trade Mode) — [Default]

Only one trade is allowed per signal.

If a trade is closed manually, the EA will wait for a new signal before opening another trade.

No stacking of trades under the same signal setup.

2. Multiple Orders (Candle2Candle Mode)

A new trade is opened on every candle close that confirms the existing signal, as long as the original setup remains valid.

Example: If a Buy signal is triggered (e.g., price > EMA9 on HTF, ITF, ETF), then new Buy orders continue to open on each new candle close unless a candle closes opposite to the signal (e.g., price falls below EMA9).

Once a signal is invalidated, all active trades under that signal are closed.

🎯 SL/TP Configuration Options

These apply to both execution types but behave slightly differently in Candle2Candle mode:

SL/TP Mode Options (Dropdown List):

Fixed

ATR-based

CandleWickRR

Fixed Settings:

Fixed StopLoss: 0.0

Fixed TakeProfit: 0.0

ATR Settings:

ATR Period: 14

ATR Multiplier SL: 1.5

ATR Multiplier TP: 3.0

ATR Timeframe: 1 Day

ATR Candle: 1

CandleWick RR Settings:

(SL is placed just beyond the wick of the signal candle)

SL for Buy Trade: 2 Pips below candle wick / low.

SL for Sell Trade: 2 Pips above candle wick / high.

(TP is based on a Risk:Reward ratio)

TP Reward Ratio: 1.0 Ratio (Configurable), Example: 1:1 (TP = SL distance), or 1:2 (TP = 2× SL).

Appendix: Strategy Examples (5–8)

These custom setups show how to mix indicators across timeframes, separate trend from trigger logic, use OR logic, or let ETF confirm final entries. They offer flexible, real-world applications for more dynamic strategy building.

🔄 Scenario 5: Mixed Indicators per Timeframe

Logic: Different indicators can be assigned to specific timeframes. Each indicator must meet its condition on its assigned TF.

Use case: Build custom strategies like trend strength (HTF), direction (ITF), momentum (ETF).

Example Buy Conditions:

HTF: ADX > 20 and +DI > -DI

ITF: Price > EMA

ETF: AO bar is green

🧭 Scenario 6: Trend from HTF/ITF, Trigger from ETF

Logic: Use HTF/ITF indicators to confirm trend; only enter trade when ETF also confirms the trigger condition.

Use case: Avoids early entries by waiting for entry-level signal that agrees with higher trend.

Example Buy Conditions:

HTF: Price > EMA

ITF: MACD > 0

ETF: Candle closes above EMA and AO turns green

🔓 Scenario 7: OR Logic Within Same Timeframe (Optional)

Logic: In a single timeframe (e.g., ETF), allow any one of the enabled indicators to trigger (OR logic), rather than requiring all.

Use case: Flexible filtering; developer should provide toggle setting: Allow_OR_logic_same_TF = true/false.

Example on ETF:

Trade allowed if MACD > 0 or AO is green

Still combined with HTF/ITF via AND

Optional: Can be toggled using “Allow OR logic in same TF” setting.

🔧 Scenario 8: ETF is Final Decision Maker

Logic: Trade only executes if ETF conditions are met, even if HTF and ITF are aligned.

Use case: Reduces false positives by relying on the final trigger from the most responsive timeframe.

Example:

HTF and ITF show uptrend

But trade executes only if ETF confirms (e.g., green AO or breakout candle)
