• Moving Average Colored EMA/SMA – custom muving modification, which is one of the top 10 most popular among users TradingView. Under normal conditions, the user can see only exponential Moving Average. However, when the level of volatility changes rapidly, the position of the line is determined taking into account the position of SMA indicator. Therefore, this indicator can be called a hybrid of simple and exponential moving average. It differs in appearance by the presence of color indication depending on the active phase of the market.
• TUX EMA Scalper+SuperTrend – A hybrid combination of a scalping indicator based on exponential moving average and a SuperTrend analysis tool. The developer originally created it for trading Bitcoin cryptocurrency. However, as you know, technical analysis strategies are universal and are not tied to assets. Therefore, this solution soon became popular among ordinary currency traders as well. The TUX EMA Scalper consists of 4 lines and 2 arrow pointers. But in our case we will hide most of the unnecessary elements, leaving only the arrows.

The principle of the strategy is classic – determining the overbought and oversold points, the change of the trading balance. The use of oscillator hybrids with trend analyzers allows to solve this problem with a high degree of efficiency.
