EMA/TEMA Dashboard
Mar 31, 2026

The EMA/TEMA Dashboard indicator is a trend-following tool that combines multiple Triple Exponential Moving Averages (TEMA) and an 8-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to identify high-probability "A+" trade setups. It monitors trend alignment, moving average stacking, and session confluence across multiple timeframes to provide a comprehensive view of market momentum.
Usage
The indicator is primarily used to identify trend reversals and continuations through the crossover of the 8 EMA and the 55 TEMA. A "Bullish" status is identified when the 8 EMA is above the 55 TEMA, while a "Bearish" status is identified when it is below.
Key usage components include:
- EMA8 / TEMA55 Crossover: The primary signal for trend shifts. Visual markers (customizable symbols like ✚) appear on the chart when these two specific averages cross.
- TEMA Stacking: For a setup to be considered high quality, the 55 TEMA should be "stacked" correctly (below all other averages for longs, or above all other averages for shorts).
- Multi-Timeframe Dashboard: The tool includes a dashboard that tracks conditions on the 5m and 3m timeframes. This allows traders to ensure that the current timeframe setup is aligned with higher-timeframe trends.
- VWAP Integration: An optional VWAP plot is included to serve as a baseline for intraday value and potential support/resistance.
Details
The script utilizes the Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA) formula, which provides less lag than a standard EMA by applying multiple EMA calculations and subtracting the difference.
- Calculations: The TEMA is calculated as
3 * E1 - 3 * E2 + E3, where E1 is the EMA of the price, E2 is the EMA of E1, and E3 is the EMA of E2. - Checklist Logic: The dashboard tracks "Confluence" rows, which turn green (or the specified bullish color) only when the EMA8/TEMA55 cross, TEMA stacking, and timeframe alignment all agree simultaneously.
- Data Retrieval: The indicator uses
request.securityto pull data from 5-minute and 3-minute intervals to populate the dashboard without needing to switch chart views.

FAQ
How do I interpret the "TEMA55 Stack" in the dashboard?
The stack is valid (marked with a ✔) when the 55 TEMA is the outermost average—meaning it is below the 8, 13, and 21 averages in an uptrend, or above them in a downtrend.
What is considered an "A+" setup?
An A+ setup occurs when the current trend, the TEMA stacking, and the multi-timeframe dashboard (5m and 3m) all align in the same direction.
How can I access the EMA/TEMA Dashboard?
You can get access on the LuxAlgo Library for charting platforms like TradingView, MetaTrader (MT4/MT5), and NinjaTrader for free.
