ATR Stop-Loss by Marius AVisual and Logical Behavior of the Code
1️⃣ ATR is calculated based on the chosen period (default 14) to determine volatility.
2️⃣ When the price crosses above the SMA(14), a Long stop-loss is set.
The stop-loss is placed below the current price at a distance of 1.5 × ATR (default).
The green line appears below the candle.
3️⃣ When the price crosses below the SMA(14), a Short stop-loss is set.
The stop-loss is placed above the current price at a distance of 1.5 × ATR.
The red line appears above the candle.
🔹 Examples of Manifestation on the Chart
📌 Scenario 1: Bullish Trend → Long Stop-Loss is Activated
✅ If the price rises above the SMA(14), a green stop-loss is set below the price.
✅ The stop-loss remains fixed until the price makes a new crossover.
🔴 If the price drops and hits the green line, the Long position is closed.
📌 Scenario 2: Bearish Trend → Short Stop-Loss is Activated
✅ If the price falls below the SMA(14), a red stop-loss is set above the price.
✅ The stop-loss remains in place until a new cross below the SMA(14).
🟢 If the price rises and hits the red line, the Short position is closed.
🔹 Strengths and Limitations of the Code
✅ Advantages:
Automatically adapts to market volatility.
Works on any timeframe and instrument.
Provides a dynamic stop-loss based on real conditions.
❌ Limitations:
Does not adjust the stop-loss after each candle (it is not a trailing stop).
The stop-loss remains fixed until a new crossover/crossunder of the price over the SMA(14).
Does not provide entry signals, only position protection.
AI Volume Breakout for scalpingPurpose of the Indicator
This script is designed for trading, specifically for scalping, which involves making numerous trades within a very short time frame to take advantage of small price movements. The indicator looks for volume breakouts, which are moments when trading volume significantly increases, potentially signaling the start of a new price movement.
Key Components:
Parameters:
Volume Threshold (volumeThreshold): Determines how much volume must increase from one bar to the next for it to be considered significant. Set at 4.0, meaning volume must quadruplicate for a breakout signal.
Price Change Threshold (priceChangeThreshold): Defines the minimum price change required for a breakout signal. Here, it's 1.5% of the bar's opening price.
SMA Length (smaLength): The period for the Simple Moving Average, which helps confirm the trend direction. Here, it's set to 20.
Cooldown Period (cooldownPeriod): Prevents signals from being too close together, set to 10 bars.
ATR Period (atrPeriod): The period for calculating Average True Range (ATR), used to measure market volatility.
Volatility Threshold (volatilityThreshold): If ATR divided by the close price exceeds this, the market is considered too volatile for trading according to this strategy.
Calculations:
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Used for trend confirmation. A bullish signal is more likely if the price is above this average.
ATR (Average True Range): Measures market volatility. Lower volatility (below the threshold) is preferred for this strategy.
Signal Generation:
The indicator checks if:
Volume has increased significantly (volumeDelta > 0 and volume / volume >= volumeThreshold).
There's enough price change (math.abs(priceDelta / open) >= priceChangeThreshold).
The market isn't too volatile (lowVolatility).
The trend supports the direction of the price change (trendUp for bullish, trendDown for bearish).
If all these conditions are met, it predicts:
1 (Bullish) if conditions suggest buying.
0 (Bearish) if conditions suggest selling.
Cooldown Mechanism:
After a signal, the script waits for a number of bars (cooldownPeriod) before considering another signal to avoid over-trading.
Visual Feedback:
Labels are placed on the chart:
Green label for bullish breakouts below the low price.
Red label for bearish breakouts above the high price.
How to Use:
Entry Points: Look for the labels on your chart to decide when to enter trades.
Risk Management: Since this is for scalping, ensure each trade has tight stop-losses to manage risk due to the quick, small movements.
Market Conditions: This strategy might work best in markets with consistent volume and price changes but not extreme volatility.
Caveats:
This isn't real AI; it's a heuristic based on volume and price. Actual AI would involve machine learning algorithms trained on historical data.
Always backtest any strategy, and consider how it behaves in different market conditions, not just the ones it was designed for.

Johnny's Volatility-Driven Trend Identifier w/ Reversal SignalsJohnny's Volatility-Driven Trend Identifier w/ Reversal Signals is designed to identify high-probability trend shifts and reversals by incorporating volatility, momentum, and impulse-based filtering. It is specifically built for traders who want to capture strong trend movements while minimizing false signals caused by low volatility noise.
By leveraging Rate of Change (ROC), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Average True Range (ATR)-based volatility detection, the indicator dynamically adapts to market conditions. It highlights breakout trends, reversals, and early signs of momentum shifts using strategically placed labels and color-coded trend visualization.
Inspiration taken from Top G indicator .
What This Indicator Does
The Volatility-Driven Trend Identifier works by:
Measuring Market Extremes & Momentum:
Uses ROC normalization with standard deviation to identify impulse moves in price action.
Implements RSI filtering to determine overbought/oversold conditions that validate trend strength.
Utilizes ATR-based volatility tracking to ensure signals only appear when meaningful market movements are occurring.
Identifying Key Trend Events:
Power Peak (🔥): Marks a confirmed strong downtrend, ideal for shorting opportunities.
Surge (🚀): Indicates a confirmed strong uptrend, signaling a potential long entry.
Soft Surge (↗): Highlights a mild bullish reentry or early uptrend formation.
Soft Peak (↘): Shows a mild bearish reentry or early downtrend formation.
Providing Adaptive Filtering for Reliable Signals:
Filters out weak trends with a volatility check, ensuring signals appear only in strong market conditions.
Implements multi-level confirmation by combining trend strength metrics, preventing false breakouts.
Uses gradient-based visualization to color-code market sentiment for quick interpretation.
What This Indicator Signals
Breakouts & Impulse Moves: 🚀🔥
The Surge (🚀) and Power Peak (🔥) labels indicate confirmed momentum breakouts, where the trend has been validated by a combination of ROC impulse, RSI confirmation, and ATR volatility filtering.
These signals suggest that the market is entering a strong trend, and traders can align their entries accordingly.
Early Trend Formation & Reentries: ↗ ↘
The Soft Surge (↗) and Soft Peak (↘) labels indicate areas where a trend might be forming, but is not yet fully confirmed.
These signals help traders anticipate potential entries before the trend gains full strength.
Volatility-Adaptive Trend Filtering: 📊
Since the indicator only activates in volatile conditions, it avoids the pitfalls of low-range choppy markets where false signals frequently occur.
ATR-driven adaptive windowing allows the indicator to dynamically adjust its sensitivity based on real-time volatility conditions.
How to Use This Indicator
1. Identifying High-Probability Entries
Bullish Entries (Long Trades)
Look for 🚀 Surge signals in an uptrend.
Confirm with RSI (should be above 50 for momentum).
Ensure volatility is increasing to validate the breakout.
Use ↗ Soft Surge signals for early entries before the trend fully confirms.
Bearish Entries (Short Trades)
Look for 🔥 Power Peak signals in a downtrend.
RSI should be below 50, indicating downward momentum.
Volatility should be rising, ensuring market momentum is strong.
Use ↘ Soft Peak signals for early entries before a full bearish confirmation.
2. Avoiding False Signals
Ignore signals when the market is ranging (low ATR).
Check RSI and ROC alignment to ensure trend confirmation.
Use additional confluences (e.g., price action, support/resistance levels, moving averages) for enhanced accuracy.
3. Trend Confirmation & Filtering
The stronger the trend, the higher the likelihood that Surge (🚀) and Power Peak (🔥) signals will continue in their direction.
Soft Surge (↗) and Soft Peak (↘) act as early warning signals before major breakouts occur.
What Makes This a Machine Learning-Inspired Moving Average?
While this indicator is not a direct implementation of machine learning (as Pine Script lacks AI/ML capabilities), it mimics machine learning principles by adapting dynamically to market conditions using the following techniques:
Adaptive Trend Selection:
It does not rely on fixed moving averages but instead adapts dynamically based on volatility expansion and momentum detection.
ATR-based filtering adjusts the indicator’s sensitivity to real-time conditions.
Multi-Factor Confirmation (Feature Engineering Equivalent in ML):
Combines ROC, RSI, and ATR in a structured way, similar to how ML models use multiple inputs to filter and classify data.
Implements conditional trend recognition, ensuring that only valid signals pass through the filter.
Noise Reduction with Data Smoothing:
The algorithm avoids false signals by incorporating trend intensity thresholds, much like how ML models remove outliers to refine predictions.
Adaptive filtering ensures that low-volatility environments do not produce misleading signals.
Why Use This Indicator?
✔ Reduces False Signals: Multi-factor validation ensures only high-confidence signals are triggered.
✔ Works in All Market Conditions: Volatility-adaptive nature allows the indicator to perform well in both trending and ranging markets.
✔ Great for Swing & Intraday Trading: It helps spot momentum shifts early and allows traders to catch major market moves before they fully develop.
✔ Visually Intuitive: Color-coded trends and clear signal markers make it easy to interpret.
Auto-Adjusting Kalman Filter by TenozenNew year, new indicator! Auto-Adjusting Kalman Filter is an indicator designed to provide an adaptive approach to trend analysis. Using the Kalman Filter (a recursive algorithm used in signal processing), this algo dynamically adjusts to market conditions, offering traders a reliable way to identify trends and manage risk! In other words, it's a remaster of my previous indicator, Kalman Filter by Tenozen.
What's the difference with the previous indicator (Kalman Filter by Tenozen)?
The indicator adjusts its parameters (Q and R) in real-time using the Average True Range (ATR) as a measure of market volatility. This ensures the filter remains responsive during high-volatility periods and smooth during low-volatility conditions, optimizing its performance across different market environments.
The filter resets on a user-defined timeframe, aligning its calculations with dominant trends and reducing sensitivity to short-term noise. This helps maintain consistency with the broader market structure.
A confidence metric, derived from the deviation of price from the Kalman filter line (measured in ATR multiples), is visualized as a heatmap:
Green : Bullish confidence (higher values indicate stronger trends).
Red : Bearish confidence (higher values indicate stronger trends).
Gray : Neutral zone (low confidence, suggesting caution).
This provides a clear, objective measure of trend strength.
How it works?
The Kalman Filter estimates the "true" price by filtering out market noise. It operates in two steps, that is, prediction and update. Prediction is about projection the current state (price) forward. Update is about adjusting the prediction based on the latest price data. The filter's parameters (Q and R) are scaled using normalized ATR, ensuring adaptibility to changing market conditions. So it means that, Q (Process Noise) increases during high volatility, making the filter more responsive to price changes and R (Measurement Noise) increases during low volatility, smoothing out the filter to avoid overreacting to minor fluctuations. Also, the trend confidence is calculated based on the deviation of price from the Kalman filter line, measured in ATR multiples, this provides a quantifiable measure of trend strength, helping traders assess market conditions objectively.
How to use?
Use the Kalman Filter line to identify the prevailing trend direction. Trade in alignment with the filter's slope for higher-probability setups.
Look for pullbacks toward the Kalman Filter line during strong trends (high confidence zones)
Utilize the dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels to manage risk and lock in profits
Confidence Heatmap provides an objective measure of market sentiment, helping traders avoid low-confidence (neutral) zones and focus on high-probability opportunities
Guess that's it! I hope this indicator helps! Let me know if you guys got some feedback! Ciao!

Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite1. Name and Purpose
Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite is a Pine Version 6 script that builds upon the Hull Moving Average (HMA) to offer an advanced trend analysis tool. Its purpose is to help traders identify trend direction, potential reversals, and overall market momentum with reduced lag compared to traditional moving averages. By combining the HMA with Average True Range (ATR) thresholds, slope-dependent coloring, Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) ribbons, and optional reversal signals, the script aims to give a detailed view of price activity in various market environments.
2. Overview
This script begins with the calculation of a Hull Moving Average, a method that blends Weighted Moving Averages in a way designed to cut down on lag while still smoothing out price fluctuations. Next, several enhancements are applied. The script compares current HMA values to previous ones for slope-based coloring, which highlights uptrends and downtrends at a glance. It also plots buy and sell signals when price moves beyond or below thresholds determined by the ATR and the user’s chosen signal multiplier. An optional VWAP ribbon can be shown to confirm bullish or bearish conditions relative to a volume-weighted benchmark. Additionally, the script can plot reversal signals (labeled with B) at points where price crosses back toward the HMA from above or below. Taken together, these elements allow traders to visualize both the short-term momentum and the broader context of how price interacts with volatility and overall market direction.
3. Why These Indicators Have Been Linked Together
The reason the Hull Moving Average, the Average True Range, and the VWAP have been integrated into one script is to tackle multiple facets of market analysis in a single tool. The Zero Lag Hull Moving Average provides a responsive trend line, the ATR offers a measure of volatility that helps distinguish significant price shifts from typical fluctuations, and the VWAP acts as a reference for fair value based on traded volume. By layering all three, the script helps traders avoid the need to juggle multiple separate indicators and offers a holistic perspective. The slope-based coloring focuses on trend direction, the ATR-based thresholds refine possible buy and sell zones, and the VWAP ribbons provide insight into how price stands relative to an important volume-weighted level. The inclusion of up and down signals and reversal B labels further refines entries and exits.
4. Why Use Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite
The Hull Moving Average is already known for reacting more quickly to price changes compared to other moving averages while retaining a degree of smoothness. This suite enhances the basic HMA by showing colored gradients that make it easy to spot trend direction changes, highlighting potential entry or exit points based on volatility-driven thresholds, and optionally layering a volume-based measure of bullish or bearish market sentiment. By relying on a zero lag approach and additional data points, the script caters to those wanting a more responsive method of identifying shifts in market dynamics. The added reversal signals and up or down alerts give traders extra confirmation for potential turning points.
5. How This Extension Improves on the Basic HMA
This extension not only plots the Hull Moving Average but also includes data-driven alerts and visual cues that traditional HMA lines do not provide. First, it offers multi-layered slope coloring, making up or down trends quickly apparent. Second, it uses ATR-based thresholds to pinpoint moments when price may be extending beyond normal volatility, thus generating buy or sell signals. Third, the script introduces an optional VWAP ribbon to indicate whether the market is trading above or below this pivotal volume-weighted benchmark, adding a further confirmation step for bullish or bearish conditions. Finally, it incorporates optional reversal signals labeled with B, indicating points where price might swing back toward the main HMA line.
6. Core Components
The script can be broken down into several primary functions and features.
a. Zero Lag HMA Calculation
Uses two Weighted Moving Averages (half-length and full-length) combined through a smoothing step based on the square root of the chosen length. This approach is designed to reduce lag significantly compared to other moving averages.
b. Slope Detection
Compares current and prior HMA values to determine if the trend is up or down. The slope-based coloring changes between turquoise shades for upward movement and magenta shades for downward movement, making trend direction immediately visible.
c. ATR-Based Thresholding for Up and Down Signals
The script calculates an Average True Range over a user-defined period, then multiplies it by a signal factor to form two bands around the HMA. When price crosses below the lower band, an up (buy) signal appears; when it crosses above the upper band, a down (sell) signal is shown.
d. Reversal Signals (B Labels)
Tracks when price transitions back toward the main HMA from an extreme zone. When enabled, these reversal points are labeled with a B and can help traders see potential turning points or mean-reversion setups.
e. VWAP Bands
An optional Volume Weighted Average Price ribbon that plots above or below the HMA, indicating bullish or bearish conditions relative to a volume-weighted price benchmark. This can also act as a kind of support/ resistance.
7. User Inputs
a. HMA Length
Controls how quickly the moving average responds to price changes. Shorter lengths react faster but can lead to more frequent signals, whereas longer lengths produce smoother lines.
b. Source
Specifies the price input, such as close or an alternative source, for the calculation. This can help align the HMA with specific trading strategies.
c. ATR Length and Signal Multiplier
Defines how the script calculates average volatility and sets thresholds for buy or sell alerts. Adjusting these values can help filter out noise or highlight more aggressive signals.
d. Slope Index
Determines how many bars to look back for detecting slope direction, influencing how sensitive the slope coloring is to small fluctuations.
e. Show Buy and Sell Signals, Reversal Signals, and VWAP
Lets users toggle the display of these features. Turning off certain elements can reduce chart clutter if traders prefer a simpler layout.
8. Calculation Process
The script’s calculation follows a step-by-step approach. It first computes two Weighted Moving Averages of the selected price source, one over half the specified length and one over the full length. It then combines these using 2*wma1 minus wma2 to reduce lag, followed by applying another weighted average using the square root of the length. Simultaneously, it computes the ATR for a user-defined period. By multiplying ATR by the signal multiplier, it establishes upper and lower bands around the HMA, where crossovers generate buy (up) or sell (down) signals. The script can also plot reversal signals (B labels) when price crosses back from these bands in the opposite direction. For the optional VWAP feature, Pine Script’s ta.vwap function is used, and differences between the HMA and VWAP levels determine the color and opacity of the ribbon.
9. Signal Generation and Filtering
The ATR-based thresholds reduce the influence of small, inconsequential price swings. When price falls below the lower band, the script issues an up (buy) signal. If price breaks above the upper band, a down (sell) signal appears. These signals are visible through labels placed near the bars. Reversal signals, labeled with B, can be turned on to help detect when price retraces from an extended area back toward the main HMA line. Traders can disable or enable these signals to match their preferred level of chart detail or risk tolerance.
10. Visualization on the Chart
The Zero HMA Lag Trend Suite aims for visual clarity. The HMA line is plotted multiple times with increasing transparency to create a gradient effect. Turquoise gradients indicate upward slopes, and magenta gradients signify downward slopes. Bar coloring can be configured to align with the slope direction, providing quick insight into current momentum. When enabled, buy or sell labels are placed under or above the bars as price crosses the ATR-defined boundaries. If the reversal option is active, B labels appear around areas where price changes direction. The optional VWAP ribbons form background bands, using distinct coloration to signal whether price is above or below the volume-weighted metric.
11. Market Adaptability
Because the script’s parameters (HMA length, ATR length, signal multiplier, and slope index) are user-configurable, it can adapt to a wide range of markets and timeframes. Intraday traders may prefer a shorter HMA length for quick signals, while swing or position traders might use a longer HMA length to filter out short-lived price changes. The source setting can also be adjusted, allowing for specialized data inputs beyond just close or open values.
12. Risk Management Considerations
The script’s signals and labels are based on past price data and volatility readings, and they do not guarantee profitable outcomes. Sharp market reversals or unforeseen fundamental events can produce false signals. Traders should combine this tool with broader risk management strategies, including stop-loss placement, position sizing, and independent market analyses. The Zero HMA Lag Trend Suite can help highlight potential opportunities, but it should not be relied upon as the sole basis for trade decisions.
13. Combining with Other Tools
Many traders choose to verify signals from the Zero HMA Lag Trend Suite using popular indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), or even simple volume-based metrics to confirm whether a price movement has sufficient momentum. Conventional techniques such as support and resistance levels, chart patterns, or candlestick analysis can also supplement signals generated by the script’s up, down, or reversal B labels.
14. Parameter Customization and Examples
a. Short-Term Day Trading
Using a shorter HMA length (for instance, 9 or 14) and a slightly higher ATR multiplier might provide timely buy and sell signals, though it may also produce more whipsaws in choppy markets.
b. Swing or Position Trading
Selecting a longer HMA length (such as 50 or 100) with a moderate ATR multiplier can help users track more significant and sustained market moves, potentially reducing the effect of minor fluctuations.
c. Multiple Timeframe Blends
Some traders load two versions of the indicator on the same chart, one for short-term signals (with frequent B label reversals) and another for the broader trend direction, aligning entry and exit decisions with the bigger picture.
15. Realistic Expectations
Even though the Hull Moving Average helps minimize lag and the script incorporates volatility-based filters and optional VWAP overlays, it cannot predict future market behavior with complete accuracy. Periods of low liquidity or sudden market shocks can still lead to signals that do not reflect longer-term trends. Frequent parameter review and manual confirmation are advised before executing trades based solely on the script’s outputs.
16. Theoretical Background
The Hull Moving Average formula aims to balance smoothness with reactivity, accomplished by combining Weighted Moving Averages at varying lengths. By subtracting a slower average from a faster one and then applying another smoothing step with the square root of the original length, the HMA is designed to respond more promptly to price changes than typical exponential or simple moving averages. The ATR component, introduced by J. Welles Wilder, calculates the average range of price movement over a user-defined period, allowing the script to assess volatility and adapt signals accordingly. VWAP provides a volume-weighted benchmark that many institutional traders track to gauge fair intraday value.
17. Originality and Uniqueness
Although multiple HMA-based indicators can be found, Uptrick: Zero Lag HMA Trend Suite sets itself apart by merging slope-based coloring, ATR thresholds, VWAP ribbons, up or down labels, and optional reversal signals all in one cohesive platform.

Composite Indicator (CCI + ATR)Composite Indicator (CCI + ATR)
The Composite Indicator (CCI + ATR) combines the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) with the Average True Range (ATR) , providing traders with a dynamic tool for identifying entry and exit points based on momentum and volatility. This indicator is particularly useful for markets like cryptocurrencies, which often exhibit sharp sell-offs and gradual upward trends.
Key Features
Momentum Analysis with CCI: The CCI calculates price momentum by comparing the current price level to its average over a specific period. The indicator generates signals when CCI crosses predefined thresholds.
- Buy Signal: Triggered when CCI crosses above the lower threshold (e.g., -100).
- Sell Signal: Triggered when CCI crosses below the upper threshold (e.g., +100).
Volatility Filtering with ATR: The ATR measures market volatility, ensuring signals occur only during significant price movements.
Separate multipliers for buy and sell signals allow tailored filtering based on market behavior.
Stop Loss Calculation: Dynamic stop loss levels are calculated using the ATR multiplier to adapt to market volatility, offering better risk management.
How It Works
CCI Calculation: The CCI is calculated using the typical price ((High + Low + Close) / 3) and a user-defined length. It detects momentum changes by measuring deviations from the average price.
ATR Calculation: The ATR determines the average price range over a specified period, identifying the market’s volatility. The ATR SMA acts as a baseline to filter signals.
Buy Signal: A buy signal is triggered when:
- CCI crosses above the lower threshold (e.g., -100).
- ATR exceeds its SMA multiplied by the buy multiplier (e.g., 1.0).
Sell Signal: A sell signal is triggered when:
- CCI crosses below the upper threshold (e.g., +100).
- ATR exceeds its SMA multiplied by the sell multiplier (e.g., 0.95).
Stop Loss Integration:
- Long positions: Stop loss = Low – (ATR * ATR Multiplier)
- Short positions: Stop loss = High + (ATR * ATR Multiplier)
Advantages
Combines momentum (CCI) and volatility (ATR) for precise signal generation.
Customizable thresholds and multipliers for different market conditions.
Dynamic stop loss ensures better risk management in volatile markets.

Multi-Timeframe Volatility ATR - [by Oberlunar]This script (for now in beta release) is specifically designed for scalping or traders operating on lower timeframes (if you are in a timeframe of one minute wait one minute to collect statistics). Its primary purpose is to provide detailed insights into market volatility by calculating the ATR (Average True Range) and its percentage changes, allowing traders to quickly identify shifts in market conditions.
The ATR is calculated across six user-defined timeframes, which can include very short intervals such as 5 or 15 seconds. This setup enables real-time monitoring of volatility, which is critical for scalping strategies. The script collects a rolling history of the last five ATR values for each timeframe. These historical values are used to calculate percentage changes by comparing the current ATR with the oldest value in the history, offering a clear view of how volatility is evolving over time.
Percentage changes are displayed dynamically in a table, with color-coded feedback to indicate the direction of the change: green for increases, red for decreases, and gray for stability or insufficient data. This visual representation makes it easy to spot whether market volatility is rising or falling at a glance.
By progressively collecting data, the script becomes increasingly effective as more ATR values are accumulated. This functionality is especially useful for traders on lower timeframes, where rapid changes in volatility can signal breakout opportunities or shifts in market dynamics.
Soon I will update personalized ATR parameters, and lookback strategies for statistics.
Dynamic Intensity Transition Oscillator (DITO)The Dynamic Intensity Transition Oscillator (DITO) is a comprehensive indicator designed to identify and visualize the slope of price action normalized by volatility, enabling consistent comparisons across different assets. This indicator calculates and categorizes the intensity of price movement into six states—three positive and three negative—while providing visual cues and alerts for state transitions.
Components and Functionality
1. Slope Calculation
- The slope represents the rate of change in price action over a specified period (Slope Calculation Period).
- It is calculated as the difference between the current price and the simple moving average (SMA) of the price, divided by the length of the period.
2. Normalization Using ATR
- To standardize the slope across assets with different price scales and volatilities, the slope is divided by the Average True Range (ATR).
- The ATR ensures that the slope is comparable across assets with varying price levels and volatility.
3. Intensity Levels
- The normalized slope is categorized into six distinct intensity levels:
High Positive: Strong upward momentum.
Medium Positive: Moderate upward momentum.
Low Positive: Weak upward movement or consolidation.
Low Negative: Weak downward movement or consolidation.
Medium Negative: Moderate downward momentum.
High Negative: Strong downward momentum.
4. Visual Representation
- The oscillator is displayed as a histogram, with each intensity level represented by a unique color:
High Positive: Lime green.
Medium Positive: Aqua.
Low Positive: Blue.
Low Negative: Yellow.
Medium Negative: Purple.
High Negative: Fuchsia.
Threshold levels (Low Intensity, Medium Intensity) are plotted as horizontal dotted lines for visual reference, with separate colors for positive and negative thresholds.
5. Intensity Table
- A dynamic table is displayed on the chart to show the current intensity level.
- The table's text color matches the intensity level color for easy interpretation, and its size and position are customizable.
6. Alerts for State Transitions
- The indicator includes a robust alerting system that triggers when the intensity level transitions from one state to another (e.g., from "Medium Positive" to "High Positive").
- The alert includes both the previous and current states for clarity.
Inputs and Customization
The DITO indicator offers a variety of customizable settings:
Indicator Parameters
Slope Calculation Period: Defines the period over which the slope is calculated.
ATR Calculation Period: Defines the period for the ATR used in normalization.

Uptrick: Volatility Reversion BandsUptrick: Volatility Reversion Bands is an indicator designed to help traders identify potential reversal points in the market by combining volatility and momentum analysis within one comprehensive framework. It calculates dynamic bands around a simple moving average and issues signals when price interacts with these bands. Below is a fully expanded description, structured in multiple sections, detailing originality, usefulness, uniqueness, and the purpose behind blending standard deviation-based and ATR-based concepts. All references to code have been removed to focus on the written explanation only.
Section 1: Overview
Uptrick: Volatility Reversion Bands centers on a moving average around which various bands are constructed. These bands respond to changes in price volatility and can help gauge potential overbought or oversold conditions. Signals occur when the price moves beyond certain thresholds, which may imply a reversal or significant momentum shift.
Section 2: Originality, Usefulness, Uniqness, Purpose
This indicator merges two distinct volatility measurements—Bollinger Bands and ATR—into one cohesive system. Bollinger Bands use standard deviation around a moving average, offering a baseline for what is statistically “normal” price movement relative to a recent mean. When price hovers near the upper band, it may indicate overbought conditions, whereas price near the lower band suggests oversold conditions. This straightforward construction often proves invaluable in moderate-volatility settings, as it pinpoints likely turning points and gauges a market’s typical trading range.
Yet Bollinger Bands alone can falter in conditions marked by abrupt volatility spikes or sudden gaps that deviate from recent norms. Intraday news, earnings releases, or macroeconomic data can alter market behavior so swiftly that standard-deviation bands do not keep pace. This is where ATR (Average True Range) adds an important layer. ATR tracks recent highs, lows, and potential gaps to produce a dynamic gauge of how much price is truly moving from bar to bar. In quieter times, ATR contracts, reflecting subdued market activity. In fast-moving markets, ATR expands, exposing heightened volatility on each new bar.
By overlaying Bollinger Bands and ATR-based calculations, the indicator achieves a broader situational awareness. Bollinger Bands excel at highlighting relative overbought or oversold areas tied to an established average. ATR simultaneously scales up or down based on real-time market swings, signaling whether conditions are calm or turbulent. When combined, this means a price that barely crosses the Bollinger Band but also triggers a high ATR-based threshold is likely experiencing a volatility surge that goes beyond typical market fluctuations. Conversely, a price breach of a Bollinger Band when ATR remains low may still warrant attention, but not necessarily the same urgency as in a high-volatility regime.
The resulting synergy offers balanced, context-rich signals. In a strong trend, the ATR layer helps confirm whether an apparent price breakout really has momentum or if it is just a temporary spike. In a range-bound market, standard deviation-based Bollinger Bands define normal price extremes, while ATR-based extensions highlight whether a breakout attempt has genuine force behind it. Traders gain clarity on when a move is both statistically unusual and accompanied by real volatility expansion, thus carrying a higher probability of a directional follow-through or eventual reversion.
Practical advantages emerge across timeframes. Scalpers in fast-paced markets appreciate how ATR-based thresholds update rapidly, revealing if a sudden price push is routine or exceptional. Swing traders can rely on both indicators to filter out false signals in stable conditions or identify truly notable moves. By calibrating to changes in volatility, the merged system adapts naturally whether the market is trending, ranging, or transitioning between these phases.
In summary, combining Bollinger Bands (for a static sense of standard-deviation-based overbought/oversold zones) with ATR (for a dynamic read on current volatility) yields an adaptive, intuitive indicator. Traders can better distinguish fleeting noise from meaningful expansions, enabling more informed entries, exits, and risk management. Instead of relying on a single yardstick for all market conditions, this fusion provides a layered perspective, encouraging traders to interpret price moves in the broader context of changing volatility.
Section 3: Why Bollinger Bands and ATR are combined
Bollinger Bands provide a static snapshot of volatility by computing a standard deviation range above and below a central average. ATR, on the other hand, adapts in real time to expansions or contractions in market volatility. When combined, these measures offset each other’s limitations: Bollinger Bands add structure (overbought and oversold references), and ATR ensures responsiveness to rapid price shifts. This synergy helps reduce noisy signals, particularly during sudden market turbulence or extended consolidations.
Section 4: User Inputs
Traders can adjust several parameters to suit their preferences and strategies. These typically include:
1. Lookback length for calculating the moving average and standard deviation.
2. Multipliers to control the width of Bollinger Bands.
3. An ATR multiplier to set the distance for additional reversal bands.
4. An option to display weaker signals when the price merely approaches but does not cross the outer bands.
Section 5: Main Calculations
At the core of this indicator are four important steps:
1. Calculate a basis using a simple moving average.
2. Derive Bollinger Bands by adding and subtracting a product of the standard deviation and a user-defined multiplier.
3. Compute ATR over the same lookback period and multiply it by the selected factor.
4. Combine ATR-based distance with the Bollinger Bands to set the outer reversal bands, which serve as stronger signal thresholds.
Section 6: Signal Generation
The script interprets meaningful reversal points when the price:
1. Crosses below the lower outer band, potentially highlighting oversold conditions where a bullish reversal may occur.
2. Crosses above the upper outer band, potentially indicating overbought conditions where a bearish reversal may develop.
Section 7: Visualization
The indicator provides visual clarity through labeled signals and color-coded references:
1. Distinct colors for upper and lower reversal bands.
2. Markers that appear above or below bars to denote possible buying or selling signals.
3. A gradient bar color scheme indicating a bar’s position between the lower and upper bands, helping traders quickly see if the price is near either extreme.
Section 8: Weak Signals (Optional)
For those preferring early cues, the script can highlight areas where the price nears the outer bands. When weak signals are enabled:
1. Bars closer to the upper reversal zone receive a subtle marker suggesting a less robust, yet still noteworthy, potential selling area.
2. Bars closer to the lower reversal zone receive a subtle marker suggesting a less robust, yet still noteworthy, potential buying area.
Section 9: Simplicity, Effectiveness, and Lower Timeframes
Although combining standard deviation and ATR involves sophisticated volatility concepts, this indicator is visually straightforward. Reversal bands and gradient-colored bars make it easy to see at a glance when price approaches or crosses a threshold. Day traders operating on lower timeframes benefit from such clarity because it helps filter out minor fluctuations and focus on more meaningful signals.
Section 10: Adaptability across Market Phases
Because both the standard deviation (for Bollinger Bands) and ATR adapt to changing volatility, the indicator naturally adjusts to various environments:
1. Trending: The additional ATR-based outer bands help distinguish between temporary pullbacks and deeper reversals.
2. Ranging: Bollinger Bands often remain narrower, identifying smaller reversals, while the outer ATR bands remain relatively close to the main bands.
Section 11: Reduced Noise in High-Volatility Scenarios
By factoring ATR into the band calculations, the script widens or narrows the thresholds during rapid market fluctuations. This reduces the amount of false triggers typically found in indicators that rely solely on fixed calculations, preventing overreactions to abrupt but short-lived price spikes.
Section 12: Incorporation with Other Technical Tools
Many traders combine this indicator with oscillators such as RSI, MACD, or Stochastic, as well as volume metrics. Overbought or oversold signals in momentum oscillators can provide additional confirmation when price reaches the outer bands, while volume spikes may reinforce the significance of a breakout or potential reversal.
Section 13: Risk Management Considerations
All trading strategies carry risk. This indicator, like any tool, can and does produce losing trades if price unexpectedly reverses again or if broader market conditions shift rapidly. Prudent traders employ protective measures:
1. Stop-loss orders or trailing stops.
2. Position sizing that accounts for market volatility.
3. Diversification across different asset classes when possible.
Section 14: Overbought and Oversold Identification
Standard Bollinger Bands highlight regions where price might be overextended relative to its recent average. The extended ATR-based reversal bands serve as secondary lines of defense, identifying moments when price truly stretches beyond typical volatility bounds.
Section 15: Parameter Customization for Different Needs
Users can tailor the script to their unique preferences:
1. Shorter lookback settings yield faster signals but risk more noise.
2. Higher multipliers spread the bands further apart, filtering out small moves but generating fewer signals.
3. Longer lookback periods smooth out market noise, often leading to more stable but less frequent trading cues.
Section 16: Examples of Different Trading Styles
1. Day Traders: Often reduce the length to capture quick price swings.
2. Swing Traders: May use moderate lengths such as 20 to 50 bars.
3. Position Traders: Might opt for significantly longer settings to detect macro-level reversals.
Section 17: Performance Limitations and Reality Check
No technical indicator is free from false signals. Sudden fundamental news events, extreme sentiment changes, or low-liquidity conditions can render signals less reliable. Backtesting and forward-testing remain essential steps to gauge whether the indicator aligns well with a trader’s timeframe, risk tolerance, and instrument of choice.
Section 18: Merging Volatility and Momentum
A critical uniqueness of this indicator lies in how it merges Bollinger Bands (standard deviation-based) with ATR (pure volatility measure). Bollinger Bands provide a relative measure of price extremes, while ATR dynamically reacts to market expansions and contractions. Together, they offer an enhanced perspective on potential market turns, ideally reducing random noise and highlighting moments where price has traveled beyond typical bounds.
Section 19: Purpose of this Merger
The fundamental purpose behind blending standard deviation measures with real-time volatility data is to accommodate different market behaviors. Static standard deviation alone can underreact or overreact in abnormally volatile conditions. ATR alone lacks a baseline reference to normality. By merging them, the indicator aims to provide:
1. A versatile dynamic range for both typical and extreme moves.
2. A filter against frequent whipsaws, especially in choppy environments.
3. A visual framework that novices and experts can interpret rapidly.

Uptrick: Volatility Reversion Bands offers a powerful tool for traders looking to combine volatility-based signals with momentum-derived reversals. It emphasizes clarity through color-coded bars, defined reversal zones, and optional weak signal markers. While potentially useful across all major timeframes, it demands ongoing risk management, realistic expectations, and careful study of how signals behave under different market conditions. No indicator serves as a crystal ball, so integrating this script into an overall strategy—possibly alongside volume data, fundamentals, or momentum oscillators—often yields the best results.
