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.
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.

What trade does this automate?
The 50 Bounce, Trade #2 of the Academy's 5 Signature Trades — a trend-continuation setup off the 50 and 200 EMA relationship.
What happens if price reverses after a signal?
The indicator has a built-in safety exit: for a long, it flags an exit if price closes below the 50 EMA after the buy signal fired (and the mirror rule for shorts), per the script's own description.
Can I get alerted instead of watching the chart?
Yes — the script supports real-time alerts on both its entry and safety-exit signals.
