Trend Cross
The fast EMA crosses the slow EMA, RSI is on the right side of 50, momentum agrees, and the EMA distance measured in ATR clears a strength threshold.
Invite-only TradingView indicatorThree kinds of momentum signal, confirmed on the closed bar
Most momentum tools watch one thing, usually a crossover, and miss everything else. Momentum Tidebreaker runs three independent detectors: a trend cross, an RSI reclaim and an RSI divergence. Each one looks at a different side of momentum, every signal waits for the bar to close, and each comes with an ATR stop and two targets drawn on the chart.
- Three signal classes, each one switchable
- Signals only on the closed bar, so nothing repaints
- ATR stop, TP1 at 1R and TP2 at 2R, drawn and tracked
- 16-row dashboard with distance to support and resistance

Momentum Tidebreaker on TradingView, on camera
The published walkthrough: the indicator on real charts, what its inputs do, and which signals to take and which to skip.
A crossover only sees one kind of move
An EMA crossover catches the start of a trend and nothing else. It says nothing when the trend pauses and resumes, and it is late, or silent, when a move exhausts itself and turns.
Those are three different market structures, and they need three different tests. Momentum Tidebreaker runs all three on every closed bar: a trend cross for directional commitment, an RSI reclaim for continuation, and a divergence for reversal at exhaustion.
A signal fires when any one class matches. When the trend cross and the divergence agree on the same closed bar, the signal is upgraded to a Strong Signal and marked with a star.

What you get
One engine, three ways to read momentum
Each class can be switched off, so the chart shows only the setups you trade.
RSI Reclaim
Inside an existing EMA trend, RSI dips across 50 and recovers while price holds the trend side of the slow EMA. A continuation entry after the first cross.
Divergence
RSI is overbought or oversold, momentum improves against the move, and the close crosses back over the fast EMA. It catches turns that a crossover misses.
Strong Signal
When the trend cross and the divergence fire on the same closed bar, a star is added to the triangle. It marks agreement between two classes, not a probability.
ATR stop and two targets
Stop at 1.5 ATR by default. TP1 sits at 1R and is a partial-profit marker, TP2 at 2R closes the trade. Both multipliers are inputs.
Support and resistance
One to five levels built from pivots, drawn on the chart, with the distance to the nearest of each shown on the dashboard in points.
No repainting
Every class is gated by the confirmed bar at the function level. Once a triangle, a diamond or a level is drawn, it does not move or disappear.
16-row dashboard
Trend, strength, RSI state, momentum, ATR and ATR as a percentage of price, the structure distances, and the open trade with its floating result.
Nine alerts
Buy, sell, strong buy, strong sell, TP1, TP2, stop, and bullish and bearish divergence. All fire on bar close and carry the entry, stop and target prices.

- SELLDifferent classes can fire on nearby bars.
- Bullish divergenceThe same test at the low of a washout.
Three signal classes
A cross, a reclaim and a divergence are different trades
The trend cross is about commitment: the structural shift of the fast EMA through the slow one, with RSI and momentum taking part. The reclaim is about continuation: RSI dipping back through 50 inside a trend and recovering. The divergence is about exhaustion: a stretched RSI, fading momentum and a close back across the fast EMA.
Because the three tests look at different structures, they add useful signals instead of repeating each other. A duplicate filter stops the same direction firing twice on one bar.
- Every class has its own on and off switch
- Momentum agreement on the trend cross is optional
- Divergences are marked with a diamond and have their own alerts
Dashboard
The market, the structure and the trade, in sixteen rows
The top of the panel is a market snapshot: the trend and its strength as EMA distance over ATR, RSI with its overbought, oversold or mid state, the momentum value, and ATR both as a price and as a percentage of price, which is a quick gauge of the volatility regime.
Below it are the distances to the nearest resistance and support, and the active trade: direction, entry, the stop with its distance in points, both targets with a flag once TP1 is reached, and the floating result. The last row is the tool's own running count of closed outcomes on this chart, which is a record and not a forecast.
- Market: trend, strength, RSI, momentum, ATR, ATR percent
- Structure: distance to resistance and to support
- Trade: direction, entry, stop, TP1 and TP2, floating result
- Sits in any of the four chart corners
Any market
The ATR maths adapts to the instrument
Stops, targets and the strength filter are all measured in ATR, so the same settings make sense on a currency pair, on gold, on oil and on a single stock without retuning.
The one-hour, four-hour and daily charts give the cleanest signal density for swing entries. It works on every timeframe; shorter ones fire more signals with tighter ATR stops.
Under the hood
How a signal is made
Four steps, run once on every closed bar.
Measure
A fast and a slow EMA, RSI 14, a five-bar momentum score normalised by ATR 10, and ATR 14 for risk.
Test
Run the three classes: trend cross, RSI reclaim and divergence. Any one match is a signal; cross plus divergence is a Strong Signal.
Confirm
Only on a closed bar, and only once per direction per bar. Nothing is evaluated on the forming candle.
Plan
Draw the entry, the ATR stop, TP1 at 1R and TP2 at the chosen reward ratio, then track the trade until a target or the stop is reached.
What it does
- Finds three kinds of momentum setup and marks each on the chart
- Waits for the bar to close before it draws anything
- Draws a volatility-based stop and two targets for every signal
- Shows the market, the structure and the open trade in one panel
What it does not do
- It does not place trades. It is an indicator, not a strategy or a robot
- It does not repaint or move a signal once it is drawn
- It does not predict price, and a Strong Signal is agreement, not probability
- It does not replace position sizing and a risk limit of your own

Questions
Before you buy
Does Momentum Tidebreaker repaint?
No. All three signal classes are evaluated only on closed bars, and that is enforced inside the signal functions, not by a visual override. Once a triangle, a divergence diamond or a stop and target line is drawn, it does not move or disappear on later ticks.
What is a Strong Signal?
It is a signal where the trend cross and the divergence class fired on the same closed bar, marked with a star next to the triangle. It shows that two independent tests agreed. It is not a probability of profit.
Which markets and timeframes does it work on?
Any instrument: forex, crypto, stocks, commodities and indices. The stop, the targets and the strength filter are measured in ATR, so they adapt to each instrument's volatility and price scale. One-hour, four-hour and daily charts give the cleanest signal density.
Do I need a paid TradingView plan?
No. Invite-only indicators work on the free plan. The free plan limits how many indicators you can have on one chart and how many alerts you can run, so a paid plan helps if you use many, but it is not required for this one.
How fast do I get access?
I grant access by hand from my TradingView account. It is normally done within a few hours and always within 24 hours of your form arriving, including weekends.
Is this a subscription?
No. It is one payment of 47 USD for lifetime access on one TradingView username, with future updates included.
Can I get a refund?
Once access has been granted the sale is final, because access to an invite-only script cannot be returned. That is why the script page on TradingView is public: read it and look at the charts first. If you paid and access has not been granted yet, email me and I will refund you in full.
Can I change the TradingView username later?
Yes. Email me from the address you bought with and I will move the access to your new username.
Is there a version for another platform?
Yes. A MetaTrader 4 and 5 edition is on the MQL5 Market. It is a separate product sold by that store; this page is the TradingView edition.
Will it make me money?
No indicator can promise that, and this one does not. It gives you a clear, rule-based reading of the chart and a plan to work from. What you do with that, and how you size positions, decides the outcome.
