Sentinels

How it works

The Sentinels signal operates by combining two user-defined moving averages (MA 1 and MA 2) of various types like SMA, EMA, or HullMA. When these moving averages cross, a sentinel with tentacles is drawn, representing potential market dynamics.

The head-body of the sentinel is formed by the slow or fast MA depending on the crossover direction, with a gradient color. Tentacles are calculated by taking the difference between MA lengths and extend for specific bar durations, providing visual support/resistance zones and potential trading signals.

Why it may be useful

The Sentinels signal offers traders a unique, visual approach to understanding market trends and potential entry/exit points. By combining multiple moving averages and creating a graphical representation, traders can quickly identify potential trend changes and market dynamics.

This method provides a more intuitive and flexible way to analyze price movements, allowing traders to customize moving average types and visualize market structures through the sentinel's head-body and tentacles.

When to explore it

The Sentinels signal is most effective in markets with clear trend transitions and moderate volatility. It works best when price movements are not extremely erratic, allowing the moving averages to generate meaningful crossovers and sentinel formations.

Traders should consider using this signal across different timeframes, from scalping to swing trading, by adjusting the moving average types and lengths to match their specific trading strategy and market conditions.
