Swing buy and sell signals from the 50 and 200 EMA relationship.

Matrix Swing Trade Strategy on a TradingView chart

What it shows

Matrix Swing Trade Strategy tracks a 50-period EMA for short-term trend against a 200-period EMA for overall market direction, and marks a buy or sell signal on the chart when the faster line crosses the slower one. It also plots a safety-exit condition — for a long position, it exits if price closes below the 50 EMA after a buy signal; the mirror rule applies to shorts — with a customizable "Safety Exit" or "X" label, and it can fire real-time alerts on both entries and exits so the chart doesn't need to be watched continuously.

How it's used in the MTM method

This is a crossover automation of "The 50 Bounce" — Trade #2 in the Academy's 5 Signature Trades module, a trend-continuation setup built on the 50 and 200 EMA relationship, taught alongside "The Aqua" lesson's core idea that price keeps returning to the 50 EMA.

Key features

  • 50 EMA (short-term) crossed against 200 EMA (overall direction) for buy/sell signals
  • Built-in safety-exit rule if price closes back through the 50 EMA after a signal
  • Customizable exit label ("Safety Exit" or "X") and colors
  • Real-time alerts on entries and exits
