Normalized Price Line with Adjustable Slope‑EMA
This anchored, normalized chart lets you see true percentage moves and swing pivots at a glance—removing guesswork about entry and exit levels. The noise‑filtered, slope‑colored EMAs then highlight only meaningful trend shifts, so you act on real momentum rather than every price twitch.
By anchoring price to a single starting bar, the indicator turns absolute price into a scale‑free “performance” line, where a value of 1.25 means price is up 25% since the anchor, and 0.80 means it’s down 20%. Overlaying that with a midpoint “shelf” line shows key swing levels where price has historically bounced or broken through. When your normalized price crosses above or below this reclaim level, you get an immediate read on whether a swing recovery or breakdown is occurring.
Layered on top are dynamically colored EMAs: a custom “Slope EMA” that changes color based on its recent slope, and classic 83‑ and 200‑period EMAs on the normalized series. The Slope EMA filters out noise by only turning your chosen up, down, or flat colors when its acceleration truly shifts. Meanwhile, crossovers of the faster 83‑EMA over the slower 200‑EMA give you traditional trend‑following confirmation. Together, these elements blend relative performance, structural support, and trend strength into one view—helping you spot higher‑probability entries and stay aligned with market momentum.
Intended for advanced users because user options are nuanced. For example, this indicator plots relative performance rather than raw price, you’ll want to toggle between linear and logarithmic scales (via the “Log” button on the y‑axis) and use the “Anchor” button to lock in your starting reference. That way, every move is shown in the same “language” of percentage moves, ensuring you’re comparing apples to apples across timeframes.
