Updated SMI Base-Trigger Bullish Re-acceleration (Higher High)
Description
What it does
This indicator highlights a two-step bullish pattern using Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) plus an ATR distance filter:
1. Base (orange) – Marks a momentum “reset.” A base prints when SMI %K crosses up through %D while %K is below the Base level (default -70). The base stores the base price and starts a waiting window.
2. Trigger (green) – Confirms momentum and price strength. A trigger prints only if, before the timeout window ends:
• SMI %K crosses up through %D again,
• %K is above the Trigger level (default -60),
• Close > Base Price, and
• Price has advanced at least Min ATR multiple (default 1.0× the 14-period ATR) above the base price.
A dashed green line connects the base to the trigger.
Why it’s useful
It seeks a bullish divergence / reacceleration: momentum recovers from deeply negative territory, then price reclaims and exceeds the base by a volatility-aware margin. This helps filter out weak “oversold bounces.”
Signals
• Base ▲ (orange): Potential setup begins.
• Trigger ▲ (green): Confirmation—momentum and price agree.
Inputs (key ones)
• %K Length / EMA Smoothing / %D Length: SMI construction.
• Base when %K < (default -70): depth required for a valid reset.
• Trigger when %K > (default -60): strength required on confirmation.
• Base timeout (days) (default 100): maximum look-ahead window.
• ATR Length (default 14) and Min ATR multiple (default 1.0): price must exceed the base by this ATR-scaled distance.
How traders use it (example rules)
• Entry: On the Trigger.
• Risk: A common approach is a stop somewhere between the base price and a multiple of ATR below trigger; or use your system’s volatility stop.
• Exits: Your choice—trend MA cross, fixed R multiple, or structure-based levels.
Notes & tips
• Works best on liquid symbols and mid-to-higher timeframes (reduce noise).
• Increase Min ATR multiple to demand stronger price confirmation; tighten or widen Base/Trigger levels to fit your market.
• This script plots signals only; convert to a strategy to backtest entries/exits.
