Modified 5 EMA High-Low AFL code

1 min read

I’ve received numerous complaints from some Amibroker users regarding issues with the 5 EMA High-Low AFL code. Consequently, I’ve made several corrections and modifications to address these concerns.

The main adjustment involves resolving the problem of continuous and excessive buy or sell signals appearing on the charts. In the updated version, I’ve integrated the EXREM function to remove these signals, while retaining the original buy and sell conditions—namely, buying when the close is above the 5 EMA high and selling when it’s below the 5 EMA low.

Additionally, I’ve introduced an interactive dashboard feature that conveniently tracks the 5 EMA High-Low values, providing users with a clearer overview of the data

Buy = Cross(C,EMA( High , 5 )); 
Sell = Cross(EMA( Low , 5 ),Close); 

Buy = ExRem( Buy, Sell ); 
Sell = ExRem( Sell, Buy );

Preferred timeframe
Mostly suitable to work at higher timeframes like Daily, Monthly, Weekly

Nifty 5 EMA High-Low Weekly Charts

The Nifty Weekly charts display buy or sell signals based on the 5EMA High-Low strategy. Presently, Nifty is in a long-term buy mode according to the weekly timeframe, with support from the 5 EMA low around the 5495 zone. A close below this level may indicate a potential downtrend in the long term.

Powergrid and IDEA – Two stocks to watch for Very Long Term

The monthly 5EMA high-low charts for Powergrid and IDEA are displayed. Both charts generated a buy signal last month. Powergrid’s long-term trend shifted to a buy mode nearly 12 months later, while IDEA took 5 months to do so. Presently, both IDEA and Powergrid are trading above the 5EMA high zone, with the 5EMA monthly low zone serving as trailing long-term supports at Rs 67 and Rs 100 respectively. Long-term investors may find focusing on these stocks beneficial for their investment portfolios.

  4. Hi,
    I am trying to plot 2 EMAs using AFL, one is from 5 min and other is from 60 min.
    I don’t think Amibroker is plotting MA from 60 Timeframe properly, it shows up as a step where as I was expecting it to be a smoothish one, Here is the code and the result is shown in the image.
    Am I missing something here? Can you please help?
    Look forward to your response and help.
    thanks a ton in advance.

    CODE
    TimeFrameSet( in5Minute ); // switch to 5 minute frame

    /* MA now operates on 5 minute data, ma5_13 holds time-compressed 13 bar MA of 5min bars */

    ma5_13 = MA( C, 13 );

    TimeFrameRestore(); // restore time frame to original

    TimeFrameSet( inHourly ); // switch now to hourly

    mah_9 = EMA( C, 9 ); // 9 bar moving average from hourly data

    TimeFrameRestore(); // restore time frame to original

    // plot expanded average

    Plot( TimeFrameExpand( ma5_13, in5Minute), “13 bar moving average from 5 min bars”, colorRed );

    Plot( TimeFrameExpand( mah_9, inHourly), “9 bar moving average from hourly bars”, colorBlue );

  5. Please see the AFL code below and attached image, i was expecting the MA from 60 min TF to be smoothened just like other EMA is there anything wrong in the code? Please help.

    TimeFrameSet( in5Minute ); // switch to 5 minute frame

    /* MA now operates on 5 minute data, ma5_13 holds time-compressed 13 bar MA of 5min bars */

    ma5_13 = MA( C, 13 );

    TimeFrameRestore(); // restore time frame to original

    TimeFrameSet( inHourly ); // switch now to hourly

    mah_9 = EMA( C, 9 ); // 9 bar moving average from hourly data

    TimeFrameRestore(); // restore time frame to original

    // plot expanded average

    Plot( TimeFrameExpand( ma5_13, in5Minute), “13 bar moving average from 5 min bars”, colorRed );

    Plot( TimeFrameExpand( mah_9, inHourly), “9 bar moving average from hourly bars”, colorBlue );
