ToolTack Trend Catcher
EMA Crossover Signals with Automated Entry, Stop Loss & 5 Take Profits
Catch the trend, manage the trade. Trend Catcher turns clean EMA crossover signals into fully-planned trades — entry, ATR-based stop loss and five scaled take-profit targets, all plotted automatically and tracked live in a confluence dashboard.
01 Quick Summary
Trend Catcher is an invite-only TradingView indicator that combines a fast EMA 9/21 ribbon with full trade automation. Every time the ribbon crosses, it stamps the chart with a BUY or SELL signal, plots an entry line, an ATR-based stop loss and five scaled take-profit levels, then tracks the live position from open to close — including which targets have been hit and the running P&L percentage.
02 Overview
Most trend tools tell you when to enter but leave the rest of the trade up to you. Trend Catcher closes the loop. The moment EMA 9 crosses EMA 21, it locks in your entry price, measures volatility with ATR, and projects a full risk-reward map onto the chart — one stop-loss line at 1R against you, and five take-profit lines at 1R, 2R, 3R, 4R and 5R in your favour.
How it supports your process: Trend Catcher is decision-support, not a trading robot. It standardises entries, stops and targets so every trade follows the same rules — and it surfaces the confluence (RSI, MACD, ADX, VWAP, volume, EMA 200, 5-minute RSI) in a single dashboard so you can decide whether the signal deserves a real position.
Behind the signal sits a Dual Score Engine that grades seven independent factors on each bar and outputs a Bull % and Bear % from 0–100. Combined with the Market Bias readout (Strong Bull / Mild Bull / Mild Bear / Strong Bear), you get a one-glance read on whether the market actually supports the cross — or whether it is firing into a chop zone.
03 Key Features
Fast/slow EMA ribbon with a green/red fill that flips on every cross. Each crossover prints a labelled BUY or SELL marker directly on the bar — no scanning required.
On every signal, an ATR(14) × multiplier stop is set and five take-profit lines are projected at 1R, 2R, 3R, 4R and 5R. Each level extends to the right and updates live as the trade runs.
Seven independent factors — VWAP, RSI, MACD, EMA cross, ADX, volume, and a 5-minute RSI confirmation — are scored on every bar and surfaced as Bull % and Bear % gauges in the dashboard.
While a trade is open, the dashboard displays your live Position (Long/Short), real-time P&L %, the highest TP reached, SL status, and bars-since-entry — all colour-coded.
A green-themed table shows price vs VWAP, RSI(14) with OB/OS warnings, MACD trend, ADX strength, EMA cross, ATR %, volume vs average, 5m RSI and EMA 200 distance — at a glance.
When price pulls back into the EMA 9/21 zone during an active signal, an orange "R" diamond and candle highlight flag the retest — often the cleanest entry point on a strong trend.
Trend Catcher tracks every signal across the visible history and displays cumulative Win Rate %, TP1 wins and total trade count — a quick read on whether the tool is in tune with the symbol.
Native alertcondition firing on BUY, SELL, every TP hit (TP1–TP5) and SL hit. Wire each one into TradingView alerts to get notified the instant your trade reaches a level.
04 How to Use Trend Catcher
Add it to TradingView
Open the Indicators menu → Invite-Only Scripts → select Trend Catcher with Entry TPs & SL [ToolTack] and apply it to your chart on any symbol and timeframe.
Tune the SL ATR Multiplier
Default is 1.5 × ATR. Tighten it (1.0) for scalps where you want fast invalidation; widen it (2.0–2.5) for swing trades where the symbol needs more room to breathe. TP levels scale automatically with your SL.
Wait for a BUY or SELL Signal
A signal fires when EMA 9 crosses EMA 21 with no active signal in the opposite direction. The label appears at the bar, and the Entry · SL · TP1–TP5 lines appear instantly on the chart.
Confluence-Check with the Dashboard
Glance at Bull % vs Bear %, Market Bias and the indicator rows (RSI, MACD, ADX, EMA 200, VWAP, Volume). Strong agreement = high-conviction setup; mixed signals = consider skipping or sizing down.
Manage the Trade Visually
Hit TPs turn turquoise with a 🔥 emoji. SL turns orange when hit. The dashboard rows P&L %, Best TP Hit and SL Status track the position in real time — no spreadsheet needed.
Use Retests for Better Entries
If you miss the initial cross, watch for an orange "R" diamond above/below the bar — it marks a pullback into the EMA zone during an active trend, often a higher-probability entry than chasing the original signal bar.
05 Strategy Ideas
Educational examples only — always test before using real capital.
Signal + Strong Bias
Take BUY signals only when Bull % > 70 and Market Bias reads "Strong Bull", with price trading above the EMA 200. The opposite for SELLs. Filters out crossovers fired into chop.
The "R" Diamond Play
Skip the signal bar, wait for the orange "R" retest marker, and enter on the close of that bar. SL and TP levels remain anchored to the original signal — better risk-reward, fewer fakeouts.
Scale Out at Each TP
Close 20% of the position at TP1 through TP4, leaving 20% running to TP5. Move the stop to break-even after TP2 hits to lock in a risk-free trade and let the tail run on strong trends.
EMA 200 Trend Gate
Only take longs when price is above the EMA 200 and shorts when below. The dashboard's EMA 200 row gives the % distance — extreme distances often warn that the trend is overextended.
5m RSI Confirmation
The dashboard streams a 5-minute RSI value. For longs on higher TFs, require 5m RSI > 50 (and vice versa) to confirm short-term momentum is in agreement before pulling the trigger.
Trend-Only Trading
Skip every signal where the dashboard's ADX row reads "WEAK" (below 25). The EMA cross is most reliable when ADX is > 25 and rising — strong trends pay; chop punishes crossovers.
Reminder: these are educational frameworks, not trade recommendations. Past win rate displayed by the indicator is descriptive, not predictive. Always validate ideas on historical data and in a simulator before risking real capital, and size positions within your risk plan.
06 Best Tools to Combine With
Trend Catcher works well on its own, but pairs even better with tools that frame structure, order flow and risk. Stacking complementary ToolTack utilities turns a single signal into a complete trade plan.
Confirm signals against large-volume prints. A BUY firing into a cluster of green big-order bubbles is far stronger than one firing into thin tape.
Use horizontal levels to validate TP placements — a TP near major resistance may want partial scaling instead of a full hold.
Combine with BOS / CHoCH and Fibonacci zones to filter signals against the broader structural narrative.
Run Trend Catcher on a higher TF alongside your execution TF to make sure short-term signals respect the dominant direction.
Pause signals around high-impact news. EMA crossovers fired by news spikes are the most fakeout-prone setups on any timeframe.
Standardise position sizing off the SL distance Trend Catcher gives you, so every trade risks the same dollar amount regardless of volatility.

09 Frequently Asked Questions
Does Trend Catcher repaint?
No. Signals fire on confirmed crossovers of EMA 9 and EMA 21. Once a bar closes with a crossover, the BUY/SELL label and the Entry/SL/TP lines are locked in and do not move.
What does the SL ATR Multiplier actually do?
It controls how far your stop is placed from entry. SL distance = ATR(14) × multiplier. The five TP levels are then projected at the same distance × 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in the trade's favour, so all R-multiples scale together.
Why are there 5 take-profit levels?
Trend Catcher is built for partial scaling. Five levels (1R–5R) let you book profits aggressively on weaker moves and leave runners on strong trends — without manually plotting targets each time.
Can I change the EMA periods?
The default 9/21 setup is fixed in this version — it's the classic fast/slow combination tuned for intraday and swing use. The SL multiplier, visuals, and alerts are all user-configurable.
What does the Win Rate % actually measure?
It is the percentage of past signals where price reached TP1 before SL, across the visible history on the current chart. It's a descriptive stat — useful for comparing symbols and timeframes, not a guarantee of future results.
Does it work on every asset and timeframe?
Yes — anywhere price and volume data exists. The 5-minute RSI confirmation row in the dashboard uses 5m data regardless of your chart timeframe, which is most useful on intraday charts.
Is this a fully automated trading system?
No. Trend Catcher is an analysis and trade-planning tool. You still decide whether to take a signal, how to size the position, and when to scale out. The dashboard surfaces information; the decision-making stays with you.
