MoneyLine CipherMoneyLine Cipher
Overview
MoneyLine Cipher is a trend-following indicator designed to identify high-probability entry and exit points by combining multiple technical analysis methods into a unified signal system. The indicator adapts its behavior based on current market conditions, becoming more aggressive in strong trends and more conservative in choppy or uncertain markets.
Core Concept: The Money Line
At the heart of this indicator is the Money Line, a linear regression line that acts as a dynamic center of price action. Unlike a simple moving average, linear regression fits a straight line through recent prices using least-squares methodology, providing a smoother representation of the underlying trend direction. The slope of this line determines whether the market is in a bullish, bearish, or neutral state.
Dynamic Envelope Bands
The indicator plots upper and lower bands around the Money Line using Average True Range (ATR) as the volatility measure. What makes these bands unique is their adaptive multiplier system. When the ADX (Average Directional Index) indicates a strong trend, the bands automatically widen to accommodate larger price swings and avoid premature exits. In ranging or weak trend conditions, the bands contract to provide tighter entry and exit zones. This dynamic adjustment helps the indicator perform consistently across different market environments.
Trend State Detection
The indicator classifies market conditions into five distinct states: Strong Uptrend, Uptrend, Neutral, Downtrend, and Strong Downtrend. This classification uses three complementary methods working together.
First, the Directional Movement Index (DMI) measures the spread between positive and negative directional indicators. A large positive spread suggests bullish momentum, while a large negative spread indicates bearish pressure.
Second, On-Balance Volume (OBV) confirms whether volume supports the indicated trend direction. For a Strong Uptrend classification, OBV must be rising above its moving average, confirming that buying pressure backs the price movement.
Third, ADX must exceed a minimum threshold for Strong trend classifications, ensuring that only genuinely trending markets receive the Strong designation.
Signal Generation
Buy and sell signals are generated using Fisher Transform and Aroon indicators, but with a crucial enhancement: the trigger thresholds adjust dynamically based on the current trend state.
The Fisher Transform converts price data into a Gaussian normal distribution, making turning points easier to identify. In a Strong Uptrend, the buy threshold relaxes (making buys easier to trigger) while the sell threshold tightens (making sells harder to trigger). This allows traders to stay in winning positions longer during favorable conditions. The opposite applies in downtrends, where the system becomes quick to exit and reluctant to enter long positions.
The Aroon indicator measures how recently price made a new high or low within the lookback period. Combined with Fisher Transform, this dual-confirmation approach reduces false signals that might occur when using either indicator alone.
Band touches also generate signals. When price reaches the lower band, a potential buy zone is identified. When price reaches the upper band, a potential sell zone is flagged.
Cascade Protection System
A key feature is the built-in protection against averaging down into a losing position. The system tracks consecutive buy signals and limits them to a configurable maximum (default: 3). After reaching this limit, no additional buy signals are generated until a sell signal resets the counter. This prevents the common mistake of repeatedly buying during a sustained decline.
Additionally, the indicator monitors Bollinger Band Width Percentile (BBWP), which measures current volatility relative to historical volatility. When BBWP exceeds a threshold (indicating a volatility spike often associated with sharp moves), buy signals are temporarily frozen. This protects against entering during panic selloffs or blow-off tops.
Extreme Move Detection
Sometimes price moves so aggressively that it penetrates the bands by an unusual amount. The indicator detects these extreme moves and can generate signals even during normal cooldown periods. The logic is that an extreme band penetration represents a significant overextension that warrants attention regardless of recent signal history. These extreme signals are visually distinguished from regular signals.
RSI Divergence
The indicator includes RSI divergence detection as an additional confirmation tool. When price makes a lower low but RSI makes a higher low (bullish divergence), it suggests weakening downside momentum and a potential reversal. Bearish divergence (price higher high, RSI lower high) warns of potential tops. Both regular and hidden divergences are detected and marked on the chart.
Signal Cooldown
To prevent overtrading and signal clustering, a configurable cooldown period prevents new signals for a set number of bars after each signal. This spacing ensures that each signal represents a distinct trading opportunity rather than repeated triggers on the same price movement.
Visual Display
The indicator provides a comprehensive information panel showing current trend state, BBWP status, consecutive buy count, ADX reading, Fisher and Aroon values, cooldown status, and current dynamic thresholds. An ADX bar at the bottom of the chart provides quick visual reference for trend strength and direction using color coding.
Signal labels display the entry or exit price along with the current buy count (for buy signals), helping traders track their position sizing.
How to Use
In uptrending markets, look for buy signals near the lower band, particularly when the trend state shows Uptrend or Strong Uptrend. These represent pullback opportunities within an established trend.
In downtrending markets, the indicator naturally reduces buy signals and increases sell sensitivity, helping traders avoid catching falling knives.
In neutral or ranging conditions, signals from both directions are generated with moderate thresholds, suitable for mean-reversion trading within the bands.
Monitor the BBWP and consecutive buy counter in the info panel. If BBWP shows "FROZEN" or the buy counter approaches the maximum, exercise additional caution with new long entries.
Settings Guidance
The default settings are optimized for 5-minute cryptocurrency charts but can be adjusted for other timeframes and assets. Key parameters to consider adjusting include the Money Line length (shorter for more responsive, longer for smoother), ATR multiplier range (wider bands reduce signals but improve accuracy), and the various threshold values for trend classification.

Open Range BreakoutOpen Range Breakout (ORB)
The Open Range Breakout (ORB) is a classic intraday strategy used across stocks, indices, FX and futures. It focuses on how price behaves during the first minutes of a major session, when liquidity and volatility are highest.
This indicator fully automates the ORB process with session detection, box drawing, breakout & retest logic, and final Buy/Sell signals.
Multi-Session Support
Choose between the three most important global opens:
Asia (Tokyo) – JPY pairs, Asian indices, gold, crypto
London – FX majors, European indices, strong volatility
New York – US indices, USD pairs, gold, oil, highest volume
The Opening Range is calculated only during the selected session.
ORB Range (5 / 15 / 30 min)
The indicator builds the ORB High/Low from the first X minutes of the session, draws the box, and waits for price action once the range is complete.
How It Works
ORB Window → High/Low of the opening minutes are recorded.
Breakout → Price closes above/below the ORB → “BREAKOUT” label.
Retest → Price returns to the ORB box → “RETEST” label.
Confirmation Levels Freeze → Upper/lower structure set.
Final Signal
Close above frozen upper level → BUY
Close below frozen lower level → SELL
This filters out false breakouts and provides structured continuation signals.
Alerts
Includes built-in alert conditions for:
ORB BUY Signal
ORB SELL Signal
Alerts trigger exactly when the Buy or Sell label appears.

ORB Strategy: Extensions & Custom SL (EOD & Live Lines)That's a great request. Since you've now built a complex Pine Script Strategy with several user-configurable risk management, targeting, and exit options, the description should focus on the systematic rules used for entering, managing, and exiting trades.
Here is a clear, written description of the trading strategy you have built:
Trading Strategy Description: ORB Extension Breakout with Custom Stop, Live Tracking, and EOD Exit
This strategy is a systematic, momentum-based system designed for intraday trading. It operates on the principle of an Opening Range Breakout (ORB), utilizing the initial market consolidation to project high-probability targets, while offering multiple methods for managing risk and enforcing a mandatory end-of-day closure.
1. Market Identification (The Opening Range)
The strategy first defines the market's initial boundaries and volatility:
Session Window: The strategy calculates the Opening Range (OR) over a user-defined time period (default: 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM New York Time).
ORB Levels: Two key price levels are established and locked once the time window closes:
Wick High/Low: The absolute highest and lowest prices of the session. These serve as the entry trigger lines.
Body High/Low (Shaded Range): The highest and lowest open/close prices of the session. The height of this range is used as the basis for calculating all targets and stops.
2. Entry Rule (The Breakout)
The strategy waits passively for a breakout that confirms direction and ensures the move has not yet reached its immediate target.
Trigger Condition: A trade is signaled when a candle closes either:
Above the Wick High (for a Long entry).
Below the Wick Low (for a Short entry).
Constraint (Fresh Breakout): The entry is invalidated if the breakout candle's price action (High for Long, Low for Short) has already touched or surpassed the projected Take Profit (0.5 Extension) level before the candle closes.
Execution: The entry is a Market Order executed on the candle that meets the trigger conditions, subject to a user-defined Entry Delay (default 0 bars).
Direction Control: The user can select to trade Long Only, Short Only, or Both.
3. Exit and Risk Management
All trades are placed with simultaneous Take Profit and Stop Loss orders (a bracket order) upon entry.
A. Take Profit (TP)
The Take Profit is set at the 0.5 Extension of the Shaded Range (Body Range).
Calculation: The distance from the Body High/Low to the TP level is exactly 50% of the total height of the Shaded Range.
B. Stop Loss (SL)
The Stop Loss is dynamically calculated based on a user-selected method for risk control:
Range 0.5 (Body Range): The SL is placed an equal distance (0.5 times the Body Range height) outside the opposite side of the Body Range.
ATR Multiple: The Stop Loss distance is calculated as a user-defined Multiplier times the Average True Range (ATR).
Recent Swing Low/High: The Stop Loss is placed based on a structural low (for Long) or high (for Short) within a user-defined lookback period.
C. End-of-Day (EOD) Exit
Any open position is forced closed at the market price if it is still open when the user-defined closing time (default: 16:00 HHMM) is reached. This prevents carrying intraday risk overnight.
4. Visualization
The strategy includes comprehensive visual cues for analysis:
ORB Drawing: Displays the Wick High/Low and the shaded Body Range.
Breakout Signals: Highlights the specific bar where the validated entry signal occurs.
Closed Trades: Draws persistent lines for the Entry and Exit prices of the last few closed trades.
Live Open Trades: Draws persistent lines for the current Entry Price, active Take Profit Level, and active Stop Loss Level for any open position.
Price Action Visualizer (EMA/SMA Color Bars)This custom Pine Script indicator, "EMA(21) vs SMA(30) Color Bars," provides a unique and immediate visual representation of market bias by dynamically painting the candlesticks based on their position relative to two critical moving averages.
💡 What It Does:
The indicator calculates and plots the 21-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 30-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). It then analyzes the closing price of each candle and colors the entire candlestick (body and border) according to pre-defined trend conditions.
This visualization allows traders to identify strong trend environments versus periods of consolidation or indecision at a glance, removing the need to constantly check the price relationship manually.
🎨 Color Conditions and Meaning:
The indicator uses three distinct color states to signal the market's current momentum:
Color,Condition,Market Interpretation
🟢 GREEN,Closing Price is ABOVE both the 21 EMA AND the 30 SMA.,Strong Bullish Trend: Suggests high momentum and confirmation of an uptrend. Ideal for long bias.
🔴 RED,Closing Price is BELOW both the 21 EMA AND the 30 SMA.,Strong Bearish Trend: Suggests high downward pressure and confirmation of a downtrend. Ideal for short bias.
⚫ GRAY,"Closing Price is in any other state (e.g., between the two MAs, or under one and over the other).","Neutral / Consolidation: Indicates uncertainty, low momentum, or potential trend exhaustion/reversal. Caution is advised."
🔧 Customization Options:The indicator is fully customizable, allowing users to fine-tune the periods to match their preferred trading style (e.g., scalping, swing trading).Dĺžka EMA (Length EMA): Allows you to change the period for the Exponential Moving Average (default is 21).Dĺžka SMA (Length SMA): Allows you to change the period for the Simple Moving Average (default is 30).
True Gap Finder with Revisit DetectionTrue Gap Finder with Revisit Detection
This indicator is a powerful tool for intraday traders to identify and track price gaps. Unlike simple gap indicators, this script actively tracks the status of the gap, visualizing the void until it is filled (revisited) by price.
Key Features:
Active Gap Tracking: Finds gap-up and gap-down occurrences (where Low > Previous High or High < Previous Low) and actively tracks them.
Gap Zones (Clouds): Visually shades the empty "gap zone" (the void between the gap candles), making it instantly obvious where price needs to travel to fill the gap. The cloud disappears automatically once the gap is filled.
Dynamic Labels: automatically displays price labels at the origin of the gap, showing the specific price range (High-Low) that constitutes the gap. Labels are positioned intelligently to avoid cluttering current price action.
Alerts: Configurable alerts notify you the moment a gap is filled.
Customization: Full control over colors, clouds, labels, and alert settings to match your chart style.
How it works: The indicator tracks the most recent gap. If a new gap forms, it becomes the active focus. When price moves back to "close" or "fill" this gap area, the lines and clouds automatically stop plotting, giving you a clean chart that focuses only on open business.
Core Suite Essentials This script provides institutional-grade, multi-factor market analysis in a unified toolkit. Its true sophistication lies in its ability to reveal the critical interplay—the "dance"—between its core components, offering a profound view of market structure, momentum, and trend health that goes far beyond standard indicators.
Core Differentiators
Reveals the Core Trend "Dance":
The script masterfully visualizes the critical interaction between three foundational elements:
Ichimoku (Tenkan Sen & Kijun Sen): The leading actors defining momentum and equilibrium.
Bollinger Middle Band (BBM): The dynamic stage of support/resistance.
This interaction provides an institutional-grade read on trend integrity:
Strong Trend: A clean, bullish alignment with the Tenkan Sen leading, the Kijun Sen following, and the BBM acting as firm support confirms a powerful, unified move.
Trend Break Warning: The BBM moving between the Tenkan and Kijun signals convergence and compression, a critical alert of weakening momentum and a potential reversal.
Multi-Timeframe Momentum Confirmation:
This core trend analysis is fortified with a layered momentum gauge, providing a robust, institutional-style confirmation system:
Proprietary RSI-Based Bands across weekly, daily, and intraday frames.
Stochastic Channels (Sto12/Sto50) for additional context on price position.
Strategic Filters for Swing & Position Traders:
For higher-timeframe analysis, it delivers essential quantitative tools:
AnEMA29 Angle: Objectively quantifies trend strength and direction.
PDMDR (DMI Ratio): Measures directional dominance to filter low-conviction markets.
Integrated Cross-Asset Intelligence:
Completing the institutional perspective is a Correlation & Hedging Assistant, contextualizing price action against peers and identifying strategic opportunities based on RSI divergences.
Conclusion
This is not a mere collection of indicators; it is a consolidated analytical workstation. It captures the nuanced "dance" of the core trend triad, layers on multi-timeframe momentum confirmation, and provides strategic filters for timing and cross-asset context. This holistic, institutional-grade approach delivers a definitive and actionable market narrative.

(SM3) Volume Profile Tool-kit1st pine script. It is a work in progress. I use this to mark previous day high and low value areas as well as overnight volume profile for NYSE open strategy.
Shannon Entropy (Quant Lab)🟦 Shannon Entropy = The level of "order" or "chaos" in the market.
This indicator gives you the answer to the question:
"Is the market currently orderly and understandable, or is it random and chaotic?"
No other classical indicator can accurately show this.
The value of Entropy is between 0 and 1:
⸻
🟩 1) Entropy = 0.0 – 0.3 → Structured, orderly, readable market
During these periods, the price:
• A trend forms • Ranges work clearly • Patterns (head & shoulders, flag, triangle) form smoothly • Systems like Z-score, VWAP, EMA work very cleanly • Data for modeling (algorithmic strategies, ML) is high quality
Think of this region as follows:
The market "works according to rules," it's easy to trade.
⸻
🟧 2) Entropy = 0.3 – 0.7 → Normal behavior region
In this region:
• Neither too orderly nor too chaotic
• Most systems operate at an average rate • We can say the market is healthy
It is tradable; however, the conditions are not perfect.
⸻
🟥 3) Entropy = 0.7 – 1.0 → Chaos / Noise / Manipulation region
This is the MOST DANGEROUS REGION OF THE MARKET.
What happens?
• Prices jump randomly left and right. • Wicks increase excessively. • Fake breakouts multiply. • The win rate of strategies decreases. • Trend-following systems constantly generate "false signals." • Even mean-reversion systems are caught off guard. • ML models learn junk data during these periods. • Generally, news, liquidation cascades, and manipulation periods increase entropy.
This period perfectly illustrates:
"There is no logic in this market right now — it's moving randomly."
Therefore, it's a period where you need to be very careful:
Reduce position size. • Trade less. • Avoid unnecessary risks. • Tighten stop losses. • Don't use leverage.
This is your risk alert panel.
⸻
🔥 The real superpower Entropy gives you: Trend selection and system selection
Entropy → Determines which strategy you will use.
✔ Low Entropy → Trend following or mean-reversion that works like a toy
✔ High Entropy → Even opening a trade is risky
✔ Normal Entropy → Most strategies work
Building a strategy without this information is unprofessional.
⸻
🧠 Critical summary (you can even copy and paste it as a description in TradingView):
Low entropy → market is structured, patterns & trends are reliable
High entropy → market is chaotic, noisy, unpredictable; avoid aggressive trading
Entropy tells you if your strategy has a high chance or low chance of working
⸻
🟦 Signals Entropy gives in practice:
🔹 Entropy is falling →
The market is stabilizing → A major trend or strong move is approaching.
🔹 Entropy is rising →
The market is becoming chaotic → Sudden spike, a period of trading in prayer mode, extra risk.
🔹 Low Entropy + VR > 1 + High ER → FULL TREND MARKET
A true “trend paradise” period.
🔹 Low Entropy + VR < 1 + High FDI → RANGE MARKET
A paradise of mean reversion.
🔹 High Entropy + High VoV → DANGEROUS PERIOD
Big explosions, news, and liquidations happen here.
⸻
⭐ IN SHORT:
Entropy = an indicator of how randomly the market behaves.
• 0–0.3 → regular, good, reliable market
• 0.3–0.7 → normal market
• 0.7–1.0 → chaotic, dangerous market
It tells you at a glance whether you should trade during this period or not.
DR/IDR Break .5 TPDR/IDR Extension Breakout with Custom Stop
This strategy is a systematic, counter-trend, and momentum-based system designed for intraday trading. It operates on the principle of an Opening Range Breakout (ORB), utilizing the initial market consolidation to project high-probability targets, while offering multiple methods for managing risk.
1. Market Identification (The Opening Range)
The strategy begins by defining the market's initial boundaries and volatility:
Session Window: The strategy calculates the Opening Range (OR) over a user-defined time period (default: 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM New York Time).
ORB Levels: Two key price levels are established and locked once the time window closes:
Wick High/Low: The absolute highest and lowest prices of the session. These serve as the entry trigger lines.
Body High/Low (Shaded Range): The highest and lowest open/close prices of the session. The height of this range is used to calculate the Take Profit and Stop Loss levels.
2. Entry Rule (The Breakout)
The strategy is passive until the range is violated, looking for a strong move out of the consolidation area.
Trigger Condition: A trade is signaled when a candle closes either:
Above the Wick High (for a Long entry).
Below the Wick Low (for a Short entry).
Execution: The entry is a Market Order executed on the candle that meets the trigger condition, subject to a user-defined Entry Delay (default 0 bars, meaning the entry is taken immediately upon the breakout candle's close).
Direction Control: The user can select to trade Long Only, Short Only, or Both.
3. Exit and Risk Management
All trades are placed with simultaneous Take Profit and Stop Loss orders (a bracket order) once the entry is filled.
A. Take Profit (TP)
The Take Profit is set at the 0.5 Extension of the Shaded Range (Body Range).
Calculation: The distance from the Body High/Low to the TP level is exactly 50% of the total height of the Shaded Range.
B. Stop Loss (SL)
The Stop Loss is dynamically calculated based on a user-selected method for risk control:
Range 0.5 (Body Range): The Stop Loss is placed an equal distance (0.5 times the Body Range height) outside the opposite side of the Body Range.
Example (Long): If entry is above the Wick High, the SL is set 0.5 times the Body Range height below the Body Low.
ATR Multiple: The Stop Loss distance is determined by the asset's recent volatility.
Calculation: The distance is calculated as a user-defined Multiplier (default 2.0) times the Average True Range (ATR).
Recent Swing Low/High: The Stop Loss is placed based on a structural level defined by recent price action.
Long Entry: SL is placed at the Lowest Swing Low within a user-defined lookback period.
Short Entry: SL is placed at the Highest Swing High within a user-defined lookback period.
Summary of Workflow
The market sets the Wick and Body boundaries (e.g., 9:30–10:30 AM).
Price breaks and closes beyond a Wick boundary, triggering a signal.
The trade enters after the specified delay.
A bracket order is placed: TP is fixed at the 0.5 Extension, and SL is set based on the user's chosen risk method.
The trade is closed upon reaching either the TP or the SL level.
Lead/Lag Correlation (Quant Lab)How to use it? (Briefly)
• otherSymbol: The asset you think could be the leader
• Example: If you are on a BTC chart → BINANCE:ETHUSDT, TOTAL3, USDT.D etc.
• lagBars:
• If you say 5: You are looking to see if there is a correlation between the movement of the other instrument 5 bars ago and your current movement. • In other words, is the other one leading?
• corr (green/red line):
• Close to +1 → strong positive correlation
• Close to -1 → strong negative correlation
• Close to 0 → no correlation
Lead/Lag interpretation:
• If the correlation is high for a specific lagBars (e.g., 0.7+):
➜ The otherSymbol you chose could be a strong "leader" for your current chart. In other words, its movement 5 bars ago is now explaining yours.
Bar Number IndicatorBar Number Indicator
This Pine Script indicator is designed to help intraday traders by automatically numbering candlesticks within a user-defined trading session. This is particularly useful for strategies that rely on specific bar counts (e.g., tracking the 1st, 18th, or 81st bar of the day).
Key Features:
Session-Based Counting: Automatically resets the count at the start of each new session (default 09:30 - 16:00).
Timezone Flexibility: Includes a dropdown to select your specific trading timezone (e.g., America/New_York), ensuring accurate session start times regardless of your local time or the exchange's default setting.
Smart Display Modes: Choose to show "All" numbers, or filter for "Odd" / "Even" numbers to keep your chart clean.
Custom Positioning: Easily place the numbers Above or Below the candlesticks.
Minimalist Design: Numbers are displayed as floating text without distracting background bubbles.
Dynamische Open/Close Levels mit Historie🎯 Key Features
This indicator provides clean, configurable horizontal lines showing the Open and Close prices of a higher chosen timeframe (e.g., the last 5-minute candle), serving as dynamic support and resistance levels.
Unlike traditional indicators that draw messy "steps" across your entire chart, this tool is designed for clarity and precise control.
Controlled History: Easily define how many of the last completed periods (e.g., 5-minute blocks) should remain visible on the chart. Set to 0 for only the current, active levels.
No Stepladder Effect: Uses advanced drawing methods (line.new and object management) to ensure the historical levels remain static and do not clutter your chart history.
Dynamic Labels: The labels (e.g., "Open (5)") automatically adjust to show the timeframe you configured in the indicator settings, eliminating confusion when switching timeframes.
Customizable: Full control over colors, line length, and label positioning/size.
💡 Ideal Use Case
Perfect for scalpers and day traders operating on lower timeframes (1m, 3m) who want to quickly visualize and respect crucial price action levels from a higher context (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1h).
Rolling Skewness & Kurtosis (Quant Lab)🔹 Skewness (Asymmetric Risk)
• Skew > 0 (green) → Right tail heavier:
• More frequent positive extreme movements
• Higher probability of pump/sharp rally
• Skew < 0 (red) → Left tail heavier:
• Higher risk of crash, dump, liquidation
• Skew ≈ 0 → Distribution is symmetrical, neither right nor left side is dominant
🔹 Excess Kurtosis (Intensity of Extreme Movements)
• Kurt > 0 → Fat tails:
• More extreme movements compared to a normal distribution
• Increased risk of unexpected large spikes, flash moves
• Kurt < 0 → Thin tail:
• More “calm” distribution, fewer extreme movements
This pair tells you:
“Which direction could this instrument explode in right now?
and has the intensity of extreme movements increased?”
Fractal Dimension (Katz, Quant Lab)This indicator estimates the Katz Fractal Dimension of the price series over a rolling window.
It computes:
• L = sum of absolute price changes within the window
• d = maximum distance between any point and the first point in the window
• n = window length
Then applies Katz’s formula:
FDI = ln(n) / (ln(n) + ln(d / L))
The resulting Fractal Dimension typically lies between 1.0 and 2.0:
• FDI ≈ 1.0–1.3 → Strong, directional trend (low randomness)
• FDI ≈ 1.3–1.5 → Mixed / transitional behavior
• FDI ≈ 1.5–2.0 → Noisy, choppy, mean-reverting / range market

Variance Ratio & Efficiency Ratio (Quant Lab)1️⃣ Variance Ratio (VR)
Formula:
VR ≈ Var(q-step returns) / (q × Var(1-step returns))
Interpretation:
• VR ≈ 1 → The market is like a random walk; neither trend nor mean-reversion is dominant.
• VR > 1 → Trend behavior is dominant.
• Trend-following systems (EMA, Supertrend, breakout) work better.
• VR < 1 → Mean-reversion is dominant.
• Range/reversal strategies (Z-score, Bollinger fade, RSI reversal) work better.
In short:
• VR > 1 → Trending market
• VR < 1 → Mean-reverting market
This tells you:
“Should I build a trend system or a mean-reversion system for this instrument?”
⸻
2️⃣ Efficiency Ratio (ER)
Formula logic:
ER = |Close_now – Close_n-bars-ago| / Σ|Close_i – Close_{i+1}|
In other words:
• Numerator → Net movement over N bars
• Denominator → Total noise over N bars
Interpretation:
• ER ≈ 1 → The price has moved in almost a straight line in one direction.
→ The trend is very efficient, noise is low.
• ER ≈ 0 → The price has fluctuated a lot but hasn't gone anywhere definitively.
→ A complete noise/range market.
This tells you:
“How clear is the trend in this last N bars, and how much noise is there?”
⸻
🔥 The intelligence provided by both together:
• VR > 1 and ER is high (0.6–1.0) →
➜ Strong, high-quality trend. Golden age for trend-following.
• VR > 1 but ER is low (0.2–0.4) →
➜ Trend exists but there is a lot of noise, many fake movements. • VR < 1 and ER is low →
➜ Net range / sideways market. Ideal for mean-reversion.
Rolling Z-Score (Quant Lab)What does this Z-Score measure?
• src (default = close) → the value of the series you selected
• len → the window you are measuring based on the average of the last few bars
• Z ≈ 0 → price close to the average
• Z > 2 → price 2 standard deviations above the average (extremely positive deviation)
• Z < -2 → 2 standard deviations below the average (extremely negative deviation)
In modern mean-reversion strategies:
• Z > +2 → short / take profit candidate
• Z < –2 → long / dip buy candidate

LL-HL PivotThis indicator scans for the bullish structure known as a Higher Low (HL) across multiple lengths simultaneously, automatically selects the most suitable pattern, and plots it on the chart.
Below is a detailed explanation of how it works.
1. Basic Calculation Method (Definition of LL and HL)
This indicator is built on TradingView’s ta.pivotlow function.
Detecting Pivot Lows
For a given length, a Pivot Low is identified as the lowest point among the candles within the specified range to the left and right.
LL and HL Determination
LL (Lowest Low): The most recent Pivot Low is treated as the previous low.
HL (Higher Low): When a new Pivot Low forms above the previous LL, it is recognized as an HL, and the setup is considered “complete.”
Identifying the Pivot Line
During the LL–HL structure, the highest high between them is identified and used as the breakout level (Pivot Line / resistance), where a horizontal line is drawn.
2. Multi-Length Scanning
Unlike standard indicators that use only one length (e.g., Length = 5), this indicator evaluates a full range of lengths.
Min Length to Max Length
Example: Min = 2, Max = 10
Internally, it functions as if nine separate indicators (Length 2, 3, 4 … 10) are running simultaneously.
This allows the indicator to capture:
Small waves (short-term pullbacks)
Larger waves (broader structural moves)
3. Priority Mode System
Because multiple lengths are calculated at the same time, different LL–HL patterns may appear simultaneously.Priority Mode determines which setup is selected and displayed.
A. Lowest LH
Selects the pattern with the lowest pivot line (intermediate high).
Advantages:

4. Additional Behavior and Features
Real-Time Invalidation
If price breaks below the confirmed HL, the structure is immediately considered invalid.
All previously drawn lines and labels are removed instantly, preventing outdated structures from remaining on the chart.
Pivot Line Extension
As long as the HL remains intact, the Pivot Line (breakout level) continues extending to the right.
Alerts
An alert can be triggered the moment price breaks above the Pivot Line on a closing basis.
DR/IDR, fractals, break + EMA Clouds + VWAPThis indicator is a powerful, multi-layered trading tool that combines three distinct forms of market analysis—volume, trend, and opening volatility—onto a single chart.
1. Opening Range Breakout (ORB) System
This is the foundation of the indicator, designed to capture the initial volatility and set key price boundaries for the trading day.
Time Focus: The indicator's primary analysis is centered on a specific, user-defined time period (default is 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM New York Time). Nothing related to the ORB drawing will appear on the chart before this session starts.
Wick High/Low (The Trigger): These lines track the absolute highest and lowest prices reached during the time window. They define the full extent of the initial range and are used to determine when a genuine breakout occurs.
Body High/Low (The Range & Targets): These lines track the highest and lowest open/close prices of the candles within the session. This area forms the central, shaded zone, representing the core consolidation area.
Range Shading: The background between the Body High and Body Low is shaded, but this visual feature only appears during the active forming time window (e.g., 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM) to maintain chart clarity.
Fractals: While the range is forming, the indicator detects 5-bar Williams Fractal patterns that occur inside the range. These small triangles (▲ or ▼) highlight minor reversal points established by the early trading action.
Breakout Signal: After the user-defined time window closes, the indicator waits. If a subsequent candle's price moves above the Wick High or below the Wick Low, a "BREAK" label is displayed on that candle. It is programmed to label only the first decisive break in each direction per day.
Extension Targets: When a breakout occurs, target lines are automatically projected above the Body High (for a bullish break) or below the Body Low (for a bearish break). The distance between these targets is calculated based on a user-defined fraction (e.g., 0.5 steps) of the total height of the Body Range.
Line Cutoff: For tidiness, you can set a "Stop Time" (e.g., 4:00 PM) after which the ORB lines will automatically disappear.
2. EMA Clouds (Trend and Momentum)
Four distinct Exponential Moving Average (EMA) clouds are plotted to provide a dynamic, multi-speed view of the market's trend and momentum.
Structure: Each "Cloud" is the shaded area between two EMAs (one shorter length and one longer length). The indicator includes four customizable pairs (defaulting to common settings like 8/9, 8/14, 34/50, and 14/21).
Trend Coloring: The clouds are color-coded:
Bullish (Greenish): The shorter EMA is trading above the longer EMA, signaling upward momentum.
Bearish (Reddish): The shorter EMA is trading below the longer EMA, signaling downward momentum.
Application: These clouds are used to confirm the overall market direction or identify potential zones of support and resistance.
3. Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
The VWAP is a crucial anchor for measuring the market's efficiency throughout the trading day.
Function: It calculates the average price of the asset, giving more weight to prices where higher volume was traded.
Context: It helps traders quickly determine if the current price is trading at a premium (above VWAP) or a discount (below VWAP) relative to the day's volume.
Reset: The VWAP line automatically resets at the beginning of each trading day.
Customization: The VWAP line can be toggled on or off, and its color and width are fully adjustable.
RSI Median DeviationRSI Median Deviation – Adaptive Statistical RSI for High-Probability Extremes
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator developed by J. Welles Wilder in 1978 to measure the magnitude of recent price changes and identify potential overbought or oversold conditions. It calculates the ratio of upward to downward price movements over a specified period, scaled to 0-100. However, standard RSI often relies on fixed thresholds like 70/30, which can produce unreliable signals in varying market regimes due to their lack of adaptability to the actual distribution of RSI values.
This indicator was developed because I needed a reliable tool for spotting intermediate high-probability bottoms and tops. Instead of arbitrary horizontal lines, it uses the RSI’s own historical median as a dynamic centerline and measures how far the current RSI deviates from that median over a chosen lookback period. The main signals are triggered only at 2 standard deviation (2σ) extremes — statistically rare events that occur roughly 5 % of the time under a normal distribution. I selected 2σ because it is extreme enough to be meaningful yet frequent enough for practical trading. For oversold signals I further require RSI to be below 42, a filter that significantly improved results in my mean-reversion tests (enter on oversold, exit on the first bar the condition is no longer true).
The combination of percentile median + standard deviation bands is deliberate: the median is far more robust to outliers than a simple average, while the SD bands automatically adjust to the current volatility of the RSI itself, producing adaptive envelopes that work equally well in ranging and trending markets.
Underlying Concepts and Calculations
Base RSI: RSI = 100 − (100 / (1 + RS)), RS = average gain / average loss (default length 10).
Percentile Median: 50th percentile of the last "N" RSI values (default 28 = 4 weeks)
→ dynamic, outlier-resistant centerline.
Standard Deviation Bands: rolling stdev of RSI (default length 27 = = 4 weeks (almost))
→ bands = median ± 1σ / 2σ.
Optional Dynamic MA Envelopes: user-selectable moving average (TEMA, WMA, etc., default WMA length 37) for additional momentum context.
Trend Bias Coloring
Independent of the statistical extremes, the RSI line itself is colored green when above the user-defined Long Threshold (default 60) and red when below the Short Threshold (default 47). This provides an instant bullish/bearish bias overlay similar to classic RSI usage, without interfering with the main 2σ extreme signals.
Extremes are highlighted with background color (green for oversold 2σ + RSI<42, magenta for overbought 2σ) and small diamond markers for ultra-extremes (RSI <25 or >85).
Originality and Development Rationale
The indicator was built and refined through extensive testing on dozens of assets including major cryptocurrencies:
(BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI, BNB, XRP, TRX, DOGE, LINK, PAXG, CVX, HYPE, VIRTUAL and many more),
the Magnificent 7 stocks,, QQQ, SPX, and gold.
Default parameters were chosen to deliver consistent profitability in simple mean-reversion setups while maximizing Sortino ratio and minimizing maximum drawdown across this broad universe — ensuring the settings are robust and not overfitted to any single instrument or timeframe.
How to Use It
Ideal for swing / position trading on the 1h to daily charts (the same defaults work).
Oversold (high-probability long): RSI crosses below lower 2σ band AND RSI < 42
→ green background
→ enter long, exit the first bar the condition disappears.
Overbought (high-probability short): RSI crosses above upper 2σ band
→ magenta background
→ enter short, exit on opposite signal or at median. (Shorts were not tested, it's only an idea)
Use the green/red RSI line coloring for quick trend context and to avoid fighting strong momentum.
Always confirm with price action and manage risk appropriately.
