Adaptive Heikin Ashi [CHE]Adaptive Heikin Ashi — volatility-aware HA with fewer fake flips
Summary
Adaptive Heikin Ashi is a volatility-aware reinterpretation of classic Heikin Ashi that continuously adjusts its internal smoothing based on the current ATR regime, which means that in quiet markets the indicator reacts more quickly to genuine directional changes, while in turbulent phases it deliberately increases its smoothing to suppress jitter and color whipsaws, thereby reducing “noise” and cutting down on fake flips without resorting to heavy fixed smoothing that would lag everywhere.
Motivation: why adapt at all?
Classic Heikin Ashi replaces raw OHLC candles with a smoothed construction that averages price and blends each new candle with the previous HA state, which typically cleans up trends and improves visual coherence, yet its fixed smoothing amount treats calm and violent markets the same, leading to the usual dilemma where a setting that looks crisp in a narrow range becomes too nervous in a spike, and a setting that tames high volatility feels unnecessarily sluggish as soon as conditions normalize; by allowing the smoothing weight to expand and contract with volatility, Adaptive HA aims to keep candles readable across shifting regimes without constant manual retuning.
What is different from normal Heikin Ashi?
Fixed vs. adaptive blend:
Classic HA implicitly uses a fixed 50/50 blend for the open update (`HA_open_t = 0.5 HA_open_{t-1} + 0.5 HA_close_{t-1}`), while this script replaces the constant 0.5 with a dynamic weight `w_t` that oscillates around 0.5 as a function of observed volatility, which turns the open update into an EMA-like filter whose “alpha” automatically changes with market conditions.
Volatility as the steering signal:
The script measures volatility via ATR and compares it to a rolling baseline (SMA of ATR over the same length), producing a normalized deviation that is scaled by sensitivity, clamped to ±1 for stability, and then mapped to a bounded weight interval ` `, so the adaptation is strong enough to matter but never runs away.
Outcome that matters to traders:
In high volatility, the weight shifts upward toward the prior HA open, which strengthens smoothing exactly where classic HA tends to “chatter,” while in low volatility the weight shifts downward toward the most recent HA close, which speeds up reaction so quiet trends do not feel artificially delayed; this is the practical mechanism by which noise and fake signals are reduced without accepting blanket lag.
How it works
1. HA close matches classic HA:
`HA_close_t = (Open_t + High_t + Low_t + Close_t) / 4`
2. Volatility normalization:
`ATR_t` is computed over `atr_length`, its baseline is `ATR_SMA_t = SMA(ATR, atr_length)`, and the raw deviation is `(ATR_t / ATR_SMA_t − 1)`, which is then scaled by `adapt_sensitivity` and clamped to ` ` to obtain `v_t`, ensuring that pathological spikes cannot destabilize the weighting.
3. Adaptive weight around 0.5:
`w_t = 0.5 + oscillation_range v_t`, giving `w_t ∈ `, so with a default `range = 0.20` the weight stays between 0.30 and 0.70, which is wide enough to matter but narrow enough to preserve HA identity.
4. EMA-like open update:
On the very first bar the open is seeded from a stable combination of the raw open and close, and thereafter the update is
`HA_open_t = w_t HA_open_{t−1} + (1 − w_t) HA_close_{t−1}`,
which is equivalent to an EMA where higher `w_t` means heavier inertia (more smoothing) and lower `w_t` means stronger pull to the latest price information (more responsiveness).
5. High and low follow classic HA composition:
`HA_high_t = max(High_t, max(HA_open_t, HA_close_t))`,
`HA_low_t = min(Low_t, min(HA_open_t, HA_close_t))`,
thereby keeping visual semantics consistent with standard HA so that your existing reading of bodies, wicks, and transitions still applies.
Why this reduces noise and fake signals in practice
Fake flips in HA typically occur when a fixed blending rule is forced to process candles during a volatility surge, producing rapid alternations around pivots or within wide intrabar ranges; by increasing smoothing exactly when ATR jumps relative to its baseline, the adaptive open stabilizes the candle body progression and suppresses transient color changes, while in the opposite scenario of compressed ranges, the reduced smoothing allows small but persistent directional pressure to reflect in candle color earlier, which reduces the tendency to enter late after multiple slow transitions.
Parameter guide (what each input really does)
ATR Length (default 14): controls both the ATR and its baseline window, where longer values dampen the adaptation by making the baseline slower and the deviation smaller, which is helpful for noisy lower timeframes, while shorter values make the regime detector more reactive.
Oscillation Range (default 0.20): sets the maximum distance from 0.5 that the weight may travel, so increasing it towards 0.25–0.30 yields stronger smoothing in turbulence and faster response in calm periods, whereas decreasing it to 0.10–0.15 keeps the behavior closer to classical HA and is useful if your strategy already includes heavy downstream smoothing.
Adapt Sensitivity (default 6.0): multiplies the normalized ATR deviation before clamping, such that higher sensitivity accelerates adaptation to regime shifts, while lower sensitivity produces gradual transitions; negative values intentionally invert the mapping (higher vol → less smoothing) and are generally not recommended unless you are testing a counter-intuitive hypothesis.
Reading the candles and the optional diagnostic
You interpret colors and bodies just like with normal HA, but you can additionally enable the Adaptive Weight diagnostic plot to see the regime in real time, where values drifting up toward the upper bound indicate a turbulent context that is being deliberately smoothed, and values gliding down toward the lower bound indicate a calm environment in which the indicator chooses to move faster, which can be valuable for discretionary confirmation when deciding whether a fresh color shift is likely to stick.
Practical workflows and combinations
Trend-following entries: use color continuity and body expansion as usual, but expect fewer spurious alternations around news spikes or into liquidity gaps; pairing with structure (swing highs/lows, breaks of internal ranges) keeps entries disciplined.
Exit management: when the diagnostic weight remains elevated for an extended period, you can be stricter with exit triggers because flips are less likely to be accidental noise; conversely, when the weight is depressed, consider earlier partials since the indicator is intentionally more nimble.
Multi-asset, multi-TF: the adaptation is especially helpful if you rotate instruments with very different vol profiles or hop across timeframes, since you will not need to retune a fixed smoothing parameter every time conditions change.
Behavior, constraints, and performance
The script does not repaint historical bars and uses only past information on closed candles, yet just like any candle-based visualization the current live bar will update until it closes, so you should avoid acting on mid-bar flips without a rule that accounts for bar close; there are no `security()` calls or higher-timeframe lookups, which keeps performance light and execution deterministic, and the clamping of the volatility signal ensures numerical stability even during extreme ATR spikes.
Sensible defaults and quick tuning
Start with the defaults (`ATR 14`, `Range 0.20`, `Sensitivity 6.0`) and observe the weight plot across a few volatile events; if you still see too many flips in turbulence, either raise `Range` to 0.25 or trim `Sensitivity` to 4–5 so that the weight can move high but does not overreact, and if the indicator feels too slow in quiet markets, lower `Range` toward 0.15 or raise `Sensitivity` to 7–8 to bias the weight a bit more aggressively downward when conditions compress.
What this indicator is—and is not
Adaptive Heikin Ashi is a context-aware visualization layer that improves the signal-to-noise ratio and reduces fake flips by modulating smoothing with volatility, but it is not a complete trading system, it does not predict the future, and it should be combined with structure, risk controls, and position management that fit your market and timeframe; always forward-test on your instruments, and remember that even adaptive smoothing can delay recognition at sharp turning points when volatility remains elevated.

TOP-RSI Double Confirm + Heiken Ashi + Buy/Sell Labels v01📊 RSI Double Confirm + Heiken Ashi + Labels
🔎 Concept
This indicator combines a Zero-based RSI filter with strict candle close confirmation, overlays Heiken Ashi candles for clearer trend visualization, and adds Buy/Sell labels directly on the chart for easier interpretation.
⚙️ Components
1. RSI Double Confirm
RSI is calculated from OHLC4 (open+high+low+close)/4.
The RSI value is shifted by -50 to center it around zero (above 0 = bullish, below 0 = bearish).
Uses user-defined thresholds: Overbought (OB) and Oversold (OS).
📌 Entry conditions:
Buy Signal → RSI crosses upward through OS and the last closed candle is higher than the previous candle.
Sell Signal → RSI crosses downward through OB and the last closed candle is lower than the previous candle.
2. Heiken Ashi Candles
Custom Heiken Ashi values are calculated: haOpen, haClose, haHigh, haLow.
Candles are colored green (if haClose > haOpen) or red (if haClose < haOpen).
Helps smooth price action and highlight trend direction.
3. Alerts
alertcondition is set for both Buy and Sell signals.
Users can create TradingView alerts that trigger whenever a new signal appears.
4. Signals & Labels
A green up arrow is plotted under the candle when a Buy signal is triggered.
A red down arrow is plotted above the candle when a Sell signal is triggered.
Additionally, labels ("Buy" or "Sell") are added at the respective candle to make signals more visible.
📝 How to Use
Add the indicator to your chart (it overlays directly on price).
Adjust inputs:
OB (Overbought) → e.g. 20
OS (Oversold) → e.g. -20
RSI Length → e.g. 7
Watch for signals:
Buy Signal → Green arrow + "Buy" label → potential bullish entry.
Sell Signal → Red arrow + "Sell" label → potential bearish entry.
Set up alerts in TradingView to be notified when new signals appear.
✅ Benefits
Combines RSI confirmation + Heiken Ashi trend filter + Clear chart labels.
Reduces false signals by requiring both RSI cross and strict close confirmation.

Quantura - Quantified Price Action StrategyIntroduction
“Quantura – Quantified Price Action Strategy” is an invite-only Pine Script strategy designed to combine multiple price action concepts into a single trading framework. It integrates supply and demand zones, liquidity sweeps and runs, fair value gaps (FVGs), RSI filters, and EMA trend confirmation. The strategy also provides a visual overlay with dynamic trend-colored candles for easier chart interpretation. It is intended for multi-market use across cryptocurrencies, Forex, equities, and indices.
Originality & Value
The strategy is original in how it unifies several institutional-style price action elements and validates trades only when they align. This reduces noise compared to using single indicators in isolation. Its unique value lies in the combination of:
Supply & Demand detection: Dynamic boxes identified through pivots, ATR, and volume sensitivity.
Liquidity sweeps and runs: Detects when swing highs/lows are broken and retested, distinguishing between liquidity grabs (sweeps) and directional runs.
RSI filter: Can be set to normal or aggressive, confirming momentum before trades.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): Optional detection and filtering of price inefficiencies.
EMA filter: Aligns trades with the broader market trend.
Trend candle visualization: Candles dynamically colored bullish, bearish, or neutral, based on strategy positions.
This layered confluence approach ensures that entries are not taken on a single condition but require agreement across several dimensions of market structure, momentum, and order flow.
Functionality & Indicators
Supply & Demand Zones: Zones are created when pivots, ATR sensitivity, and volume thresholds overlap.
Liquidity: Swing highs and lows are tracked, with options for sweep (fakeout/reversal) or run (continuation) detection.
RSI: Confirms long signals when oversold and shorts when overbought, with configurable aggressiveness.
FVG filter: Adds validation by requiring price interaction with inefficiency zones.
EMA filter: Ensures longs are above EMA and shorts below EMA.
Signals & Visualization: Trade entries are marked on the chart, while candles change color to reflect trade direction and status.
Parameters & Customization
Supply & Demand: Sensitivity (swing range, volume multiplier, ATR multiplier) and display options.
Liquidity filter: Mode (Run or Sweep), display, and swing length.
RSI: Enable/disable, length, and style (normal or aggressive).
Fair Value Gaps: Sensitivity via ATR factor, optional volume filter, and display toggles.
EMA: Length, enable/disable, and visualization.
Risk management: Up to three configurable take-profit levels, stop-loss, break-even logic, and capital-based position sizing.
Visualization: Custom candle coloring and optional overlay for better clarity.
Default Properties (Strategy Settings)
Initial Capital: 10,000 USD
Position Size: 100% of equity per trade (backtest default)
Commission: 0.1%
Slippage: 1
Pyramiding: 0 (only one position at a time)
Note: The default of 100% equity per trade is used for testing purposes only and would not be sustainable in real trading. A typical allocation in practice would be between 1–5% of account equity per trade, sometimes up to 10%.
Backtesting & Performance
Backtests on XPTUSD over 2.5 years with the default settings produced:
129 trades
73.64% win rate
Profit factor: 2.6
Maximum drawdown: 18.2%
These results show how the confluence of supply/demand, liquidity, and RSI filters can produce robust setups. However, past performance does not guarantee future results. While the trade count (129) is sufficient for statistical analysis, results may vary across markets and timeframes.
Risk Management
Three configurable take-profit levels with percentage allocation.
Initial stop-loss based on user-defined percentage.
Dynamic stop-loss that adjusts with market movement.
Break-even logic that shifts stops to entry after predefined gains.
Position sizing based on risk percentage of equity.
This framework allows both conservative and aggressive configurations, depending on user preference.
Limitations & Market Conditions
Works best in volatile and liquid markets such as crypto, metals, indices, and FX.
May produce false signals in low-volume or sideways environments.
Unexpected news or macro events can override technical conditions.
Default position sizing of 100% equity is highly aggressive and should be reduced before any practical use.
Usage Guide
Add “Quantura – Quantified Price Action Strategy” to your chart.
Select Supply & Demand, Liquidity, RSI, EMA, and FVG settings according to your market and timeframe.
Configure risk management: take-profits, stop-loss, and risk-per-trade percentage.
Use the Strategy Tester to analyze statistics, equity curve, and performance under different conditions.
Optimize parameters before applying the strategy to different markets.

Multi Timeframe BOS & rBOSThis is the same Multi-Timeframe Break of Structure and Market Structure Shift posted by Lenny_Kiruthu. However, the only difference is the naming of Market Structure Shift to rBOS (Break of Structure Reverse). To me, they are all break of structures when previous peaks or valleys are violated. The only difference is in sequence. Once a sequence of BOS reverses, then a new sequence begins. To me, this simplifies the various terminology incorporated by different systems such as ICT or SMT which adds unnecessary complexity.
