 Always being one to play with different combinations of indicators
 on swing setups, the early morning is a quiet time to ponder situations
 such as this.
 
 I am looking at the Weekly EMA(5) plotted on a daily chart, therefore;
 plotted as EMA(25).  So, when close has crossed above the EMA(25),
 we know that we have a possible start to an uptrend move.
 
 Adding the NVI (negative volume index) and PVI (positive volume index),
 I am looking for each of these indicators to be higher than they were 5 days ago.
 
 So, with a possible uptrend move, along with Institutional traders (NVI)
 and Retail traders (PVI) supporting the move, I am looking at the first signal
 after a downtrend.
 
 You can look at "historical" on any chart to see what I mean by the
 1st signal.
 
 
 
 
 Anyone want to add to this or suggestions?

 I like your pre-market musings, snappy!
 
 After reviewing several charts with your filter, one big question jumped out.  What's a good exit strategy that gets us out of false signals or takes profits off the table?  I decided on "When 2 of the 3 conditions are false, exit."  Below is the visualization of your entry and my exit.

 Unfortunately, I can't see the advanced subscription.
 I presently use a trailing stop loss for protection.

 I really don't like using the EMA, NVI and PVI to determine the exit point.
 My preference would be a standard ATR stop loss or a trailing
 stop loss using an EMA of about 1/2 of the EMA used for entry.
 
 In this case, since the EMA(25) is used as an entry, I would use
 a CLOSE BELOW the EMA(13) or less as an exit strategy.
