Trend reads at a glance — bullish zone, bearish zone, compression in the middle. EMA Color Zones draws up to three colored fills between four moving averages so the structure of price against the cluster is instant. Above the top MA you're in trend up, below the bottom you're in trend down, squeezed between is chop. 8 MA types (EMA, SMA, WMA, HMA, DEMA, TEMA, VWMA, TMA) with configurable periods, optional body-classified paint bars, and per-MA price-cross alerts with cooldown. Free, fully audited, and built for traders who want trend structure without setup overhead.
"Use it on every chart. Three zones with the 21/50/100/200 EMA setup gives me an instant read on whether I'm in trend, in chop, or testing structure. The paint bars by body position is a small touch but makes a huge difference at a glance — bullish, bearish, neutral, no thinking required. Tried five other MA ribbon indicators over the years and most of them just blend everything together with one ugly color. This one lets me set independent opacity per zone so the fast cluster is bright and the slow zones are subtle. Worth way more than free."
"Replaced my old MA ribbon with this on day one. The HMA option was the deciding factor — most free indicators don't include Hull. Clean and works."
"Solid. Would love MTF support in a future version (current daily zones on a 5-min chart for example) but for a free tool what's here is excellent. The cross alerts work as expected."
"Been running EMA ribbons for years and this is the cleanest implementation I've seen. The three zones give me instant trend structure — top zone bullish, bottom zone bearish, middle is the squeeze. Paint bars classify each candle correctly by body position, not just last price. Per-MA cross alerts let me set up sound on the 200 only, not all four — exactly what I want when I'm focused on the slowest MA. Replaced a $39 paid MA suite and didn't lose anything."
"Simple, fast to set up, works exactly as described. The 8 MA types means I can use VWMA on volume bars without a separate indicator. Highly recommend."
