Adaptive MA Scalping StrategyAdaptive MA Scalping Strategy
The Adaptive MA Scalping Strategy is an innovative trading approach that merges the strengths of the Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA) with the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram. This combination results in a momentum-adaptive moving average that dynamically adjusts to market conditions, providing traders with timely and reliable signals.
How It Works
Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA): Unlike traditional moving averages, KAMA adjusts its sensitivity based on market volatility. It becomes more responsive during trending markets and less sensitive during periods of consolidation, effectively filtering out market noise.
MACD Histogram Integration: The strategy incorporates the MACD histogram, a momentum indicator that measures the difference between a fast and a slow exponential moving average (EMA). By adding the MACD histogram values to the KAMA, the strategy creates a new line—the momentum-adaptive moving average (MOMA)—which captures both trend direction and momentum.
Signal Generation:
Long Entry: The strategy enters a long position when the closing price crosses above the MOMA. This indicates a potential upward momentum shift.
Exit Position: The position is closed when the closing price crosses below the MOMA, signaling a potential decline in momentum.
Cloud Calculation Detail
The MOMA is calculated by adding the MACD histogram value to the KAMA of the price. This addition effectively adjusts the KAMA based on the momentum indicated by the MACD histogram. When momentum is strong, the MACD histogram will have higher values, causing the MOMA to adjust accordingly and provide earlier entry or exit signals.
Performance on Stocks
This strategy has demonstrated excellent performance on stocks when applied to the 1-hour timeframe. Its adaptive nature allows it to respond swiftly to market changes, capturing profitable trends while minimizing the impact of false signals caused by market noise. The combination of KAMA's adaptability and MACD's momentum detection makes it particularly effective in volatile market conditions commonly seen in stock trading.
Key Parameters
KAMA Length (malen): Determines the sensitivity of the KAMA. A length of 100 is used to balance responsiveness with noise reduction.
MACD Fast Length (fast): Sets the period for the fast EMA in the MACD calculation. A value of 24 helps in capturing short-term momentum changes.
MACD Slow Length (slow): Sets the period for the slow EMA in the MACD calculation. A value of 52 smooths out longer-term trends.
MACD Signal Length (signal): Determines the period for the signal line in the MACD calculation. An 18-period signal line is used for timely crossovers.
Advantages of the Strategy
Adaptive to Market Conditions: By adjusting to both volatility and momentum, the strategy remains effective across different market phases.
Enhanced Signal Accuracy: The fusion of KAMA and MACD reduces false signals, improving the accuracy of trade entries and exits.
Simplicity in Execution: With straightforward entry and exit rules based on price crossovers, the strategy is user-friendly for traders at all experience levels

Kurutoga Histogram with HTF and LTF
Kurutoga Histogram:
The Kurutoga Histogram is a technical analysis indicator designed to measure price divergence from the 50% level of a recent price range. By calculating how far the current price is from the midpoint of a selected base length of candles, the histogram provides insight into the momentum, strength, and potential reversals in the market. Additionally, it can be applied across multiple timeframes to provide a comprehensive view of both short- and long-term market dynamics.
Key Components:
Base Length:
The base length is the number of candles (bars) over which the high and low prices are observed. The default base length is typically 14 periods, but it can be adjusted according to the trader's preference.
This base length defines the range from which the 50% level, or midpoint, is calculated.
50% Level (Midpoint):
The midpoint is the average of the highest high and the lowest low over the selected base length. This 50% level acts as an equilibrium point around which the price fluctuates.
Formula:
Midpoint = (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2
The price’s distance from this midpoint is an indicator of how strong the current trend or divergence is.
Price Divergence:
The main calculation of the histogram is the difference between the current closing price and the midpoint of the price range.
Formula:
Divergence = Close Price − Midpoint
A positive divergence (price above the midpoint) indicates bullish strength, while a negative divergence (price below the midpoint) indicates bearish strength.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
The Kurutoga Histogram can be applied to both the current timeframe and a higher timeframe (HTF), allowing traders to gauge price movement in both short-term and long-term contexts.
By comparing the histograms of multiple timeframes, traders can determine if there is alignment (confluence) between trends, which can strengthen trade signals or provide additional confirmation.
Color-Coded Histogram:
Blue Bars (Positive Divergence): Represent that the price is above the 50% level, indicating bullish momentum. Taller blue bars suggest stronger upward momentum, while shrinking bars suggest weakening strength.
Red Bars (Negative Divergence): Represent that the price is below the 50% level, indicating bearish momentum. Taller red bars suggest stronger downward momentum, while shrinking bars suggest a potential reversal or consolidation.
The histogram’s color intensity and transparency can be adjusted to enhance the visual effect, distinguishing between current timeframe (LTF) and higher timeframe (HTF) divergence.
Interpretation:
Bullish Signals: When the histogram bars are blue and growing, the price is gaining momentum above the midpoint of its recent range. This could signal an ongoing uptrend.
Bearish Signals: When the histogram bars are red and growing, the price is gaining momentum below the midpoint, signaling an ongoing downtrend.
Momentum Shifts: When the histogram bars shrink in size (whether blue or red), it could indicate that the current trend is losing strength and may reverse or enter consolidation.
Neutral or Sideways Movement: When the histogram bars hover around zero, it means the price is trading near the midpoint of its recent range, often signaling a lack of strong momentum in either direction.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence:
When the current timeframe (LTF) histogram aligns with the higher timeframe (HTF) histogram (e.g., both are showing strong bullish or bearish divergence), it may provide stronger confirmation of the trend's strength.
Divergence between timeframes (e.g., bullish on LTF but bearish on HTF) may suggest that price movements on lower timeframes are not yet reflected in the broader trend, signaling caution.
Applications:
Trend Identification: The Kurutoga Histogram is highly useful for detecting when the price is trending away from its equilibrium point, providing insight into the strength of ongoing trends.
Momentum Analysis: By measuring the divergence from the 50% level, the histogram helps traders identify when momentum is increasing or decreasing.
Reversal Detection: Shrinking histogram bars can signal weakening momentum, which often precedes trend reversals.
Consolidation and Breakouts: When the histogram remains near zero for an extended period, it suggests consolidation, which often precedes a breakout in either direction.
Advantages:
Clear Visuals: The use of a color-coded histogram makes it easy to visually assess whether the market is gaining bullish or bearish momentum.
Multi-Timeframe Utility: The ability to compare current timeframe signals with higher timeframe signals adds an extra layer of confirmation, reducing false signals.
Dynamic Adjustment: By adjusting the base length, traders can fine-tune the sensitivity of the indicator to match different markets or trading styles.
Limitations:
Lagging Indicator: Like most divergence indicators, the Kurutoga Histogram may lag slightly behind actual price movements, especially during fast, volatile markets.
Requires Confirmation: This indicator works best when used in conjunction with other technical tools like moving averages, support/resistance levels, or volume indicators, to avoid relying on divergence alone.
Conclusion:
The Kurutoga Histogram is a versatile and visually intuitive tool for measuring price divergence from a key equilibrium point, helping traders to assess the strength of trends and identify potential reversal points. Its use across multiple timeframes provides deeper insights, making it a valuable addition to any trading strategy that emphasizes momentum and trend following.
Relative Strength Index Custom [BRTLab]RSI Custom — Strategy-Oriented RSI with Multi-Timeframe Precision
The Relative Strength Index Custom is designed with a focus on developing robust trading strategies. This powerful indicator leverages the logic of calculating RSI on higher timeframes (HTFs) while allowing traders to execute trades on lower timeframes (LTFs). Its unique ability to extract accurate RSI data from higher timeframes without waiting for those candles to close provides a real-time advantage, eliminating the "look-ahead" bias that often
distorts backtest results.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe RSI for Strategy Development
This indicator stands out by allowing you to calculate RSI on higher timeframes, even while operating on lower timeframe charts. This means you can, for example, calculate RSI on the 1-hour or daily chart and execute trades on a 1-minute chart without needing to wait for the higher timeframe candle to close. This feature is crucial for strategy-building as it eliminates backtesting issues where data from the future is inadvertently used, providing more reliable backtest results.
Example: On a 15-minute chart, you can use the 1-hour RSI to open positions based on higher timeframe momentum, but you get this signal in real-time, improving timing and accuracy.
Accurate Data Extraction from Higher Timeframes
The indicator's custom logic ensures that accurate RSI data is retrieved from higher timeframes, providing an edge by delivering timely information for lower timeframe decisions. This prevents delayed signals often encountered when waiting for higher timeframe candles to close, which is crucial for high-frequency and intraday traders looking for precise entries based on multi-timeframe data.
Customizable RSI Settings for Strategy Tuning
The script offers full customization of the RSI, including length and source price (close, open, high, or low), allowing traders to tailor the RSI to fit specific trading strategies. These settings are housed in the "RSI Settings" section, enabling precise adjustments that align with your overall strategy.
No Future-Looking in Backtests
Traditional backtests often suffer from "future-looking" bias, where calculations unintentionally use data from candles that haven’t yet closed. This indicator is specifically designed to prevent such issues by calculating RSI values in real-time. This is particularly important when creating and testing strategies, as it ensures that the conditions under which trades would have been made are accurately represented in historical tests.
RSI-Based Moving Average for Additional Filtering
The built-in moving average (MA) based on RSI values helps filter out noise, making it easier to identify genuine trend shifts. This is particularly useful in strategies where moving average crossovers act as additional confirmation for trade entries and exits.
Overbought and Oversold Zone Detection
Visual gradient fills on the RSI chart help traders identify overbought and oversold zones (above 70 and below 30, respectively). These zones are crucial for timing reversal trades or confirming momentum-based strategies.
How This Indicator Enhances Your Strategy
Increased Accuracy for Intraday Strategies
For traders who operate on lower timeframes, using higher timeframe RSI data gives a broader perspective of market momentum while still maintaining precision for short-term trade entries. The real-time data extraction means you don't need to wait for HTF candles to close, which can dramatically improve your entry timing.
Strategic Edge in Backtesting
One of the greatest challenges in backtesting strategies is avoiding future-looking bias. This indicator is built to overcome this by using real-time multi-timeframe data, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of historical strategy testing, which provides confidence in your strategies when applied to live markets.
Advanced Filtering for Trend Strategies
By combining the RSI values with a customizable moving average (MA) and visualizing key momentum zones with overbought/oversold fills, the indicator allows for more refined trade filters. This ensures that signals generated by your strategy are based on solid momentum data and not short-term price fluctuations.

After each loss, a new position is added, and its size is increased by the Multiplier factor. For example, with a multiplier of 2, each new addition will be twice as large as the previous one, accelerating recovery if the price moves favorably.
Default: 1.0 (no multiplication)
Can be adjusted up to 10x to aggressively increase position size after losses.
Trade Execution:
Long Trades:
Entry Condition: A long position is opened when the MACD line crosses over the signal line, and the KDJ’s %K crosses above %D.
Additions (Martingale): After the initial long position, new positions are added if the price drops by the defined percentage, and each new addition is increased using the Multiplier. This continues up to the set Max Additions.
Short Trades:
Entry Condition: A short position is opened when the MACD line crosses under the signal line, and the KDJ’s %K crosses below %D.
Additions (Martingale): After the initial short position, new positions are added if the price rises by the defined percentage, and each new addition is increased using the Multiplier.
Exit Conditions:
Take Profit: Exits are triggered when the price reaches the take-profit threshold.
Stop Loss: If the price moves unfavorably, the position will be closed at the set stop-loss level.
Trailing Stop: Adjusts dynamically as the price moves in favor of the trade to lock in profits.

This indicator is designed to help traders identify trend changes and potential reversal points based on a modified Kijun-Sen line. The color-coded line provides an immediate visual cue for the current market condition, making it easier to interpret trends and potential trading signals.
Gold IBH/IBL with IBM, Overnight Levels, OVM, and ONVPOCThe Initial Balance (IB) indicator for gold trading is a valuable tool for identifying key price levels and potential trade setups. Here's an overview of how it works:
Initial Balance Calculation
The Initial Balance for gold is calculated from 8:20 AM to 9:20 AM EST, coinciding with the COMEX open. This one-hour period establishes crucial reference points for the trading day.
Key Levels
The indicator displays several important price levels:
IB High: The highest price reached during the Initial Balance period
IB Low: The lowest price reached during the Initial Balance period
IB Midpoint: The average of the IB High and IB Low
These levels often serve as significant support and resistance areas, with many traders placing stop-losses around them.
Overnight Levels
In addition to the IB levels, the indicator shows overnight price action:
ONH: Overnight High
ONL: Overnight Low
ONM: Overnight Midpoint
Overnight VWAP: Volume Weighted Average Price from the overnight session
These overnight levels have a high probability of being tested during the COMEX trading session, making them valuable reference points for traders.
Trading Applications
Traders can use the IB and overnight levels for various purposes:
Setting profit targets
Identifying potential trade entry points
Managing risk by placing stop-losses at key levels
Gauging overall market sentiment and volatility
The levels established during both the Initial Balance and overnight sessions are likely to be touched during the COMEX trading session. This insight allows traders to make more informed decisions and enhances their trading strategies.
If you have more questions about the trading strategy, please DM me, and I can explain further. I also have probabilities of all these levels being broken during the COMEX trading hours, which gives us confidence to hold our trades to targets.
Understanding and utilizing these levels can provide traders with a competitive edge in gold trading, helping them make more informed decisions based on early market dynamics and overnight price action.
Larry Williams Valuation Index [tradeviZion]Larry Williams Valuation Index
Welcome to the Larry Williams Valuation Index by tradeviZion! This script is an interpretation of Larry Williams' famous WillVal (Valuation) Index, originally developed in 1990 to help traders determine whether a market or asset is overvalued or undervalued. We've extended it to support multiple securities and offer alerts for different valuation levels, helping you make more informed trading decisions.
What is the Valuation Index?
The Valuation Index measures how a security's current price compares to its historical price action. It helps identify whether the security is overvalued (priced too high), undervalued (priced too low), or in a normal range.
This version supports multiple securities and uses valuation parameters to help you assess the relative valuation of three securities simultaneously. It can help you determine the best times to enter (buy) or exit (sell) the market.
Key Features
Multi-Security Analysis: Analyze up to three securities simultaneously to get a broader view of market conditions.
Valuation Levels: Automatically calculate overvaluation and undervaluation levels or set manual levels for consistent analysis.
Custom Alerts: Create custom alerts when securities move between overvalued, undervalued, or normal ranges.
Customizable Table Display: Display a table with valuation values and their status on the chart.
Getting Started
Step 1: Adding the Script to Your Chart
First, add the Larry Williams Valuation Index script to your chart on TradingView. The script is designed to work with any timeframe, but for best results, use weekly or daily timeframes for a longer-term perspective.
Step 2: Configuring Securities
The script allows you to analyze up to three different securities :
Security 1 (Default: DXY)
Security 2 (Default: GC1!)
Security 3 (Default: ZB1!)
You can enable or disable each security individually.
Custom Timeframe Option: You have the option to select a custom timeframe for analysis. This allows you to see whether the security is overvalued or undervalued in lower or higher timeframes. Note that this feature is experimental and has not been extensively tested. Larry Williams originally used the weekly timeframe to determine if a stock was overvalued or undervalued. By default, the indicator compares the current price with the security based on the selected timeframe, except if you choose to use a custom timeframe.
Pro Tip : New users can start with the default securities to understand the concept before using other assets.
Step 3: Valuation Index Settings
Short EMA Length : This is the short-term average used for calculations. A lower value makes it more responsive to recent price changes.
Long EMA Length : This is the long-term average, used to smooth the valuation over time.
Valuation Length (Default: 156) : Represents approximately three years of daily bars (as recommended by Larry Williams).
How is the Valuation Index Calculated?
The valuation calculation is done using a method called WVI (WillVal Index), which compares the current price of a security to the price of another correlated security. Here’s a step-by-step explanation:
1. Data Collection: The script takes the closing price of the security you are analyzing and the closing price of the correlated security.
2. Ratio Calculation : The ratio of the two prices is calculated:
Price Ratio = (Price of your security) / (Price of correlated security) * 100.
This ratio helps determine how expensive or cheap your security is compared to the correlated one.
3. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) : The price ratio is used to calculate short-term and long-term EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages). EMAs are used to create smooth lines that represent the average price of a security over a specific period of time, with more weight given to recent data. By calculating both short-term and long-term EMAs, we can identify the trend direction and how the security is performing compared to its historical averages.
4. Valuation Index Calculation:
The Valuation Index is calculated as the difference between the short-term EMA and the long-term EMA. This difference helps to determine if the security is currently overvalued or undervalued:
A positive value indicates that the price is above its longer-term trend, suggesting potential overvaluation.
A negative value indicates that the price is below its longer-term trend, suggesting potential undervaluation.
5. Normalization:
To make the valuation easier to interpret, the calculated valuation index is then normalized using the highest and lowest values over the selected valuation length (e.g., 156 bars).
This normalization process converts the index into a percentage between 0 and 100, where higher values indicate overvaluation and lower values indicate undervaluation.
Step 4: Understanding Valuation Levels
The valuation levels indicate whether a security is currently undervalued, overvalued, or in a normal range.
Manual Levels : You can manually set the overvaluation and undervaluation thresholds (default is 85 for overvalued and 15 for undervalued).
Auto Levels : The script can automatically calculate these levels based on recent price action, allowing you to adapt to changing market conditions.
Auto Levels Calculation Explained:
The Auto Levels are calculated by taking the average of the valuation indices for all three securities (e.g., index1, index2, and index3).
The script then looks at the highest and lowest values of this average over a selected number of recent bars (e.g., 50 bars).
The overvaluation level is determined by taking the highest value and multiplying it by a multiplier (e.g., 5). Similarly, the undervaluation level is calculated using the lowest value and the multiplier.
These dynamic levels adjust according to recent price action, providing an adaptive approach to identifying overvalued and undervalued conditions.
Step 5: How to Use the Script to Make Trading Decisions
For new users, here's a step-by-step trading strategy you can use with the Valuation Index:
1. Identify Undervalued Opportunities
When two or more securities are in the undervalued range (below 15 for manual or below automatically calculated undervalue levels), wait for at least two of these securities to turn from undervalued to normal .
This transition indicates a potential buy opportunity .
2. Buying Signal
When at least two securities transition from undervalued to normal, you can consider buying the asset.
This indicates that the market may be recovering from undervalued conditions and could be moving into a growth phase.
3. Selling Signal
Exit when the price high closes below the EMA 21 (21-day exponential moving average).
Alternatively, if the valuation index reaches overvalued levels (above 85 manually or auto-calculated), wait for it to drop back to normal . This can be another point to exit the trade .
You can also use any other sell condition based on your r isk management strategy .
Alerts for Valuation Levels
The script includes alerts to notify you of changing market conditions:
To activate these alerts, follow these steps, referring to the provided screenshot with detailed steps:
1. Enable Alerts : Click on the settings gear icon on the script title in your chart. In the settings menu, scroll to the section labeled Alerts Settings .

Choose the Alert Frequency : Selecting Once Per Bar Close will trigger alerts only at the close of each bar, ensuring you receive confirmed signals rather than potentially noisy intermediate signals.
2. Select Alert Type : Choose the type of alert you want to activate, such as Alert on Overvalued, Alert on Undervalued, Alert on Over to Normal , or Alert on Under to Normal .
3. Save Settings : Click OK to save your alert settings.
4. Add Alert on Indicator : Click the "..." (More button) next to the indicator name on the chart and select " Add alert on tradeviZion - WillVal ".
5. Create Alert : In the Create Alert window:

7. Click Create : Finally, click Create to activate the alert.
These alerts will help you stay informed about key market conditions and take action accordingly, ensuring you do not miss critical trading opportunities.
Understanding the Table Display
The script includes an interactive table on the chart to show the valuation status of each security:
Security : The name of the security being analyzed.
Value : The current valuation index value.
Status : Indicates whether the security is overvalued, undervalued , or in a normal range.
Color: Displays a color code for easy identification of status:
Red for overvalued.
Green for undervalued.
Other colors represent normal valuation levels.
Empowering Messages : Motivational messages are displayed to encourage disciplined trading. These messages will change periodically, helping keep a positive trading mindset.

User Guide:
Order Blocks: Order blocks are significant support or resistance zones where strong buyers or sellers previously entered the market. These zones are detected based on pivot points and engulfing price action. The strength of each block is determined by momentum, volume, and liquidity confirmations.
Demand Zones: Displayed in shades of blue based on their strength. The darker the color, the stronger the zone.
Supply Zones: Displayed in shades of red based on their strength. These zones highlight potential resistance areas.
The zones will dynamically extend as long as they remain valid. Users can set a maximum number of order blocks to be displayed.
Market Structure: Market structure is classified into internal and external shifts. A bullish or bearish market structure break (MSB) occurs when the price moves past a previous high or low. This script tracks these breaks and plots them using a gradient color scheme:
Internal Structure: Short-term market structure, highlighting smaller movements.
External Structure: Long-term market shifts, typically more significant.
Users can choose how they want the structure to be visualized through the "Market Structure" setting, choosing from different visual methods.
Liquidity Grabs: The script identifies liquidity grabs (false breakouts designed to trap traders) by monitoring price action around highs and lows of previous bars. These are represented by diamond shapes:
Liquidity Buy: Displayed below bars when a liquidity grab occurs near a low.
Liquidity Sell: Displayed above bars when a liquidity grab occurs near a high.
Breakouts: Breakouts are detected based on strong price momentum beyond key levels:
Breakout Buy: Triggered when the price closes above the highest point of the past 20 bars with confirmation from volume and range expansion.
Breakout Sell: Triggered when the price closes below the lowest point of the past 20 bars, again with volume and range confirmation.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Fair value gaps (FVGs) are periods where the price moves too quickly, leaving an unbalanced market condition. The script identifies these gaps:
Bullish FVG: When there is a gap between the low of two previous bars and the high of a recent bar.
Bearish FVG: When a gap occurs between the high of two previous bars and the low of the recent bar.
FVGs are color-coded and can be filtered by their size to focus on more significant gaps.
ICT Bias: The script integrates the ICT methodology by offering an auto-calculated higher-timeframe bias:
Long Bias: Suggests the market is in an uptrend based on higher timeframe analysis.
Short Bias: Indicates a downtrend.
Neutral Bias: Suggests no clear directional bias.
Trend Lines: Automatic trend lines are drawn based on significant pivot highs and lows. These lines will dynamically adjust based on price movement. Users can control the number of trend lines displayed and extend them over time to track developing trends.
Percentile Pricing: The script also plots the 25th percentile (discount zone), 75th percentile (premium zone), and a fair value price. This helps identify whether the current price is overbought (premium) or oversold (discount).
Customization:
Zone Strength Filter: Users can set a minimum strength threshold for order blocks to be displayed.
Color Customization: Users can choose colors for demand and supply zones, market structure, breakouts, and FVGs.
Dynamic Zone Management: The script allows zones to be deleted after a certain number of bars or dynamically adjusts zones based on recent price action.
Max Zone Count: Limits the number of supply and demand zones shown on the chart to maintain clarity.
Backtesting & Win Rate: The script includes a backtesting engine to calculate the percentage of respect on the interaction between price and demand/supply zones. Results are displayed in a table at the bottom of the chart, showing the percentage rating for both long and short zones. Please note that this is not a win rate of a simulated strategy, it simply is a measure to understand if the current assets tends to respect more supply or demand zones.
How to Use:
Load the script onto your chart. The default settings are optimized for identifying key price action zones and structure on intraday charts of liquid assets.
Customize the settings according to your strategy. For example, adjust the "Max Orderblocks" and "Strength Filter" to focus on more significant price action areas.
Monitor the liquidity grabs, breakouts, and FVGs for potential trade opportunities.
Use the bias and market structure analysis to align your trades with the prevailing market trend.
Refer to the backtesting win rates to evaluate the effectiveness of the zones in your trading.

Cubic Bezier Curve RSI [CBCR]Overview :
Introducing the Cubic Bézier Curve RSI – an innovative approach to smoothing the traditional RSI using cubic Bézier curves. This indicator provides traders with a smoother, adaptive version of the RSI that can help filter out noise and better highlight market trends.
Key Features:
Bézier Curve : the script uses cubic Bézier curves to create a smoothed version of the RSI, offering a more visually appealing and potentially more insightful representation of market momentum.
Customizable Settings: Users can adjust the Bézier Curve Length, Impact Factor, and color modes, allowing full customization of the smoothing effect and visualization.
Color-coded Trend Indicator: The smoothed RSI is displayed with colors that indicate potential bullish or bearish trends, helping traders quickly assess market conditions.
Overbought/Oversold Lines: Option to display overbought and oversold levels for better identification of market extremes.
Parameters:
RSI Length: Set the length for the traditional RSI calculation (default is 14).
Bézier Curve Length: Adjust the length of the Bézier curve used to smooth the RSI (default is 20).
Impact Factor: Control the influence of the Bézier smoothed values versus the original RSI values (default is 0.5, ranging from 0.0 to 1.0).
Overbought/Oversold Lines: Option to show overbought (default: 70) and oversold (default: 30) lines for easier identification of extreme conditions.
Color Mode: Choose between "Trend Following" and "Overbought/Oversold" modes for line color indication.
Display Settings: Color customization for bullish and bearish phases allows better visual differentiation.
How It Works:
The CBCR uses four control points derived from historical RSI values over a user-defined length. It then applies the cubic Bezier formula to generate a sequence of points representing a smoothed version of the RSI over this range.
The Bezier curve is recalculated each time a specific number of bars (as defined by the Bezier Curve Length) have passed, helping reduce noise while retaining key trend information.
The result is a smoothed RSI that combines the adaptability of cubic Bezier curves with the familiar oscillation of the RSI, making it potentially more robust for identifying shifts in market sentiment.
Visuals:
Smoothed RSI Line: Plotted on the indicator pane, the line changes color depending on the chosen color mode:
Trend Following Mode: Color changes based on whether the smoothed RSI is above or below the 50-level.
Overbought/Oversold Mode: Color changes based on whether the smoothed RSI is above the overbought level or below the oversold level.
Bullish Color: Configurable (default: cyan).
Bearish Color: Configurable (default: red).
Overbought/Oversold Lines: Horizontal lines at user-defined levels (default: 70 for overbought, 30 for oversold) for easy identification of market extremes.
Usage:
The CBCR can be used like a traditional RSI but with a smoother output that may help traders avoid false signals generated by sudden price spikes. For instance:
Look for crossovers around the 50 level as a signal for changing momentum.
Use the overbought and oversold levels to identify potential reversal zones.
Observe the color change of the line for an immediate visual cue on current sentiment.

[MAD] Fibonacci Bands with SmoothingHi, this is just an easy script, nothing special, it was a request from a community member and was finished in just 40 minutes :D
This indicator offers a approach to tracking market price movements by utilizing Fibonacci-based levels combined with customizable smoothing options for both the bands and the high/low values.
Key Features:
Customizable Moving Averages: Choose from a variety of smoothing methods, including SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA, and advanced Ehlers-based methods.
This allows for flexible adaptation to different assets.
Multiple Fibonacci Band Multipliers: The user can define six different multipliers for both the upper and lower Fibonacci bands, allowing for granular customization of the indicator. The middle line serves as the central reference, and the multipliers extend the bands outward based on price range dynamics.
High/Low Smoothing: In addition to smoothing the Fibonacci bands, users can apply smoothing to the high and low prices that form the basis for calculating the Fibonacci bands. This ensures that the indicator responds smoothly to market movements, reducing noise while capturing key trends.
Forward Shift Option: Allows for projecting the bands into the future by shifting the calculated levels forward by a user-specified number of periods. This feature is particularly useful for those interested in anticipating price actions and future trends.
Visual Enhancements: The indicator features filled regions between bands to clearly visualize the zones of price movement. The fills between the bands offer insight into potential support and resistance zones, based on price levels defined by the Fibonacci ratios.
How It Works:
The indicator uses the highest and lowest closing prices over a specified lookback period to establish a price range. Based on this range, it calculates the middle line (0.5 level) and applies user-defined Fibonacci multipliers to generate both upper and lower bands. Users have control over the smoothing method for both the high/low prices and the bands themselves, allowing for an adaptive experience that can be tailored to different timeframes or market conditions.
For visualization, areas between the upper and lower bands are filled with distinct colors, providing an intuitive view of the potential price zones where the market might react or consolidate.
These fills highlight the zones created by the Fibonacci bands, helping users identify critical market levels with ease.
have fun

Trend Following Regression CloudTrend Following Regression Cloud Indicator
The Trend Following Regression Cloud is a versatile trading tool designed to help you effortlessly identify the market's prevailing trend. By analyzing price movements over multiple time frames, it provides a clear visual representation of whether the market is trending upwards or downwards.
How It Works:
- Adaptive Analysis: The indicator calculates linear regression lines over various periods ranging from short-term to long-term (e.g., 10, 20, 50, up to 500 periods). This means it adapts quickly to recent market changes, capturing new trends as they develop.
- Noise Reduction: By comparing and weighting the slopes of these regression lines, it filters out insignificant price fluctuations (market noise). This ensures that the signals you receive are more reliable and less prone to false alarms.
- Cloud Calculation: The cloud is generated by first calculating the slopes of multiple linear regression lines over different lengths. The differences between the slopes of shorter-term and longer-term regressions are then computed and weighted by their respective lengths. By summing up these weighted differences, the indicator produces a "total distance" value. This value is applied to a baseline (such as a 100-period simple moving average) to create the cloud line. The area between the baseline and the cloud line is filled, and its color changes based on whether the total distance is positive or negative, providing a visual cue of the market's trend direction.
- Visual Representation: The indicator plots two lines—a base line and a cloud line—creating a shaded area (the "cloud") between them. The color of this cloud changes based on market conditions:
- Green Cloud: Indicates that short-term trends are stronger than long-term trends, suggesting an upward market movement. This could be a good time to consider buying.
- Red Cloud: Signifies that the market may be trending downwards, as long-term trends overpower short-term ones. This could be an opportune moment to consider selling.

The indicator also includes alerts for breakouts and take-profit hits, providing real-time trading signals.
Cumulative Volume Delta Histogram [TradingFinder] CVD Histogram🔵 Introduction
To fully understand Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), it’s important to start by explaining Volume Delta. In trading, "Delta" refers to the difference between two values or the rate of change between two data points. Volume Delta represents the difference between buying and selling pressure for each candlestick on a chart, and this difference can vary across different time frames.
A positive delta indicates that buying volume exceeds selling volume, while a negative delta shows that selling pressure is stronger. When buying and selling volumes are equal, the volume delta equals zero.
The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator tracks the cumulative difference between buying and selling volumes over time, helping traders analyze market dynamics and identify reliable trading signals through CVD divergences.
🔵 How to Use
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is an essential technical analysis tool that aggregates delta values for each candlestick, creating a comprehensive indicator. This helps traders evaluate overall buying and selling pressure over market swings.
Unlike standard Volume Delta, which compares the delta on a candle-by-candle basis, CVD provides a broader view of buying and selling pressure during market trends. A downward-trending CVD suggests that selling pressure is dominant, which is typically a bearish signal.
Conversely, an upward-trending CVD indicates bullish sentiment, suggesting buyers are in control. This analysis becomes even more valuable when compared with price action and market structure, helping traders predict the direction of asset prices.
🟣 How to Use CVD in Trend Analysis and Market Reversals
Understanding how to detect trend changes using Cumulative Volume Delta is crucial for traders. Typically, CVD aligns with market structure, moving in the same direction as price trends.
However, divergences between CVD and price movements or signs of volume exhaustion can be powerful indicators of potential market reversals. Recognizing these patterns helps traders make more informed decisions and improve their trading strategies.
🟣 How to Spot Trend Exhaustion with CVD
CVD is particularly effective for identifying trend exhaustion in the market. For instance, if an asset's price hits a new low, but CVD doesn’t follow, this might indicate a lack of seller interest, signaling potential exhaustion and a possible reversal.
Similarly, if an asset reaches a new high but CVD fails to follow, it can suggest that buyers lack the strength to push the market higher, indicating a possible reversal to the downside.
🟣 How to Use CVD Divergence in Price Trend Analysis
Another effective use of CVD is identifying divergences in price trends. For example, if CVD breaks a previous high or low while the price remains stable, this divergence may indicate that buying or selling pressure is being absorbed.
For instance, if CVD rises sharply without a corresponding increase in asset prices, it may suggest that sellers are absorbing the buying pressure, which could lead to a strong sell-off. Conversely, if prices remain stable while CVD declines, it may indicate that buyers are absorbing selling pressure, likely leading to a price increase once the selling subsides.
🟣 CVD Display, Candlestick vs. Histogram – What’s the Difference?
CVD can be displayed in two different formats :
Candlestick Display : In this format, the data is shown as green and red candlesticks, each representing the difference in buying and selling pressure over a given time period. This display allows traders to visually analyze market pressure along with price changes.
Histogram Display : Here, the data is represented as vertical green and red bars, where each bar’s height corresponds to the volume delta. This format offers a clearer view of the strengths and weaknesses in market buying and selling pressure.
🟣 What are the Key Settings for CVD?
Cumulative Mode : CVD offers three modes: "Total," "Periodic," and "EMA." In "Total" mode, CVD accumulates the delta from the beginning to the end of the session. In "Periodic" mode, it accumulates volume periodically, resetting at specific intervals. In "EMA" mode, the CVD is smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to filter out short-term fluctuations.
Period : The "Period" setting allows you to define the number of bars or intervals for "Periodic" and "EMA" modes. A shorter period captures more short-term movements, while a longer period smooths out the fluctuations and provides a broader view of market trends.
Market Ultra Data : This feature integrates data from 26 major brokers into the volume calculations, providing more reliable volume data. It’s important to specify the type of market you are analyzing (Forex, crypto, etc.) as different brokers contribute to different markets. Enabling this setting ensures the highest accuracy in volume analysis.
🔵 Conclusion
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a powerful technical indicator that helps traders assess buying and selling pressure by aggregating the delta values of each candlestick. Whether displayed as candlesticks or histograms, CVD provides insights into market trends, helping traders make informed decisions.
CVD is particularly useful in identifying divergences and exhaustion in market trends. For example, if CVD does not align with price movements, it can signal a potential trend reversal. Traders use this tool to fine-tune their entry and exit points and better predict future market movements.
In summary, CVD is a versatile tool for analyzing volume data and understanding the balance of buying and selling pressure in the market, making it an invaluable asset in any trader’s toolkit
Unlock the Power of Seasonality: Monthly Performance StrategyThe Monthly Performance Strategy leverages the power of seasonality—those cyclical patterns that emerge in financial markets at specific times of the year. From tax deadlines to industry-specific events and global holidays, historical data shows that certain months can offer strong opportunities for trading. This strategy was designed to help traders capture those opportunities and take advantage of recurring market patterns through an automated and highly customizable approach.
The Inspiration Behind the Strategy:
This strategy began with the idea that market performance is often influenced by seasonal factors. Historically, certain months outperform others due to a variety of reasons, like earnings reports, holiday shopping, or fiscal year-end events. By identifying these periods, traders can better time their market entries and exits, giving them an advantage over those who solely rely on technical indicators or news events.
The Monthly Performance Strategy was built to take this concept and automate it. Instead of manually analyzing market data for each month, this strategy enables you to select which months you want to focus on and then executes trades based on predefined rules, saving you time and optimizing the performance of your trades.
Key Features:
Customizable Month Selection: The strategy allows traders to choose specific months to test or trade on. You can select any combination of months—for example, January, July, and December—to focus on based on historical trends. Whether you’re targeting the historically strong months like December (often driven by the 'Santa Rally') or analyzing quieter months for low volatility trades, this strategy gives you full control.
Automated Monthly Entries and Exits: The strategy automatically enters a long position on the first day of your selected month(s) and exits the trade at the beginning of the next month. This makes it perfect for traders who want to benefit from seasonal patterns without manually monitoring the market. It ensures precision in entering and exiting trades based on pre-set timeframes.
Re-entry on Stop Loss or Take Profit: One of the standout features of this strategy is its ability to re-enter a trade if a position hits the stop loss (SL) or take profit (TP) level during the selected month. If your trade reaches either a SL or TP before the month ends, the strategy will automatically re-enter a new trade the next trading day. This feature ensures that you capture multiple trading opportunities within the same month, instead of exiting entirely after a successful or unsuccessful trade. Essentially, it keeps your capital working for you throughout the entire month, not just when conditions align perfectly at the beginning.
Built-in Risk Management: Risk management is a vital part of this strategy. It incorporates an Average True Range (ATR)-based stop loss and take profit system. The ATR helps set dynamic levels based on the market’s volatility, ensuring that your stops and targets adjust to changing market conditions. This not only helps limit potential losses but also maximizes profit potential by adapting to market behavior.
Historical Performance Testing: You can backtest this strategy on any period by setting the start year. This allows traders to analyze past market data and optimize their strategy based on historical performance. You can fine-tune which months to trade based on years of data, helping you identify trends and patterns that provide the best trading results.
Versatility Across Asset Classes: While this strategy can be particularly effective for stock market indices and sector rotation, it’s versatile enough to apply to other asset classes like forex, commodities, and even cryptocurrencies. Each asset class may exhibit different seasonal behaviors, allowing you to explore opportunities across various markets with this strategy.
How It Works:
The trader selects which months to test or trade, for example, January, April, and October.
The strategy will automatically open a long position on the first trading day of each selected month.
If the trade hits either the take profit or stop loss within the month, the strategy will close the current position and re-enter a new trade on the next trading day, provided the month has not yet ended. This ensures that the strategy continues to capture any potential gains throughout the month, rather than stopping after one successful trade.
At the start of the next month, the position is closed, and if the next month is also selected, a new trade is initiated following the same process.
Risk Management and Dynamic Adjustments:
Incorporating risk management with this strategy is as easy as turning on the ATR-based system. The strategy will automatically calculate stop loss and take profit levels based on the market’s current volatility, adjusting dynamically to the conditions. This ensures that the risk is controlled while allowing for flexibility in capturing profits during both high and low volatility periods.
Maximizing the Seasonal Edge:
By automating entries and exits based on specific months and combining that with dynamic risk management, the Ultimate Monthly Performance Strategy takes advantage of seasonal patterns without requiring constant monitoring. The added re-entry feature after hitting a stop loss or take profit ensures that you are always in the game, maximizing your chances to capture profitable trades during favorable seasonal periods.
Who Can Benefit from This Strategy?
This strategy is perfect for traders who:
Want to exploit the predictable, recurring patterns that occur during specific months of the year.
Prefer a hands-off, automated trading approach that allows them to focus on other aspects of their portfolio or life.
Seek to manage risk effectively with ATR-based stop losses and take profits that adjust to market conditions.
Appreciate the ability to re-enter trades when a take profit or stop loss is hit within the month, ensuring that they don't miss out on multiple opportunities during a favorable period.
In summary, the Ultimate Monthly Performance Strategy provides traders with a comprehensive tool to capitalize on seasonal trends, optimize their trading opportunities throughout the year, and manage risk effectively. The built-in re-entry system ensures you continue to benefit from the market even after hitting targets within the same month, making it a robust strategy for traders looking to maximize their edge in any market.
Risk Disclaimer:
Trading financial markets involves significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The Monthly Performance Strategy is designed to help traders identify seasonal trends, but past performance does not guarantee future results. It is important to carefully consider your risk tolerance, financial situation, and trading goals before using any strategy. Always use appropriate risk management and consult with a professional financial advisor if necessary. The use of this strategy does not eliminate the risk of losses, and traders should be prepared for the possibility of losing their entire investment. Be sure to test the strategy on a demo account before applying it in live markets.
Volume-Supported Linear Regression Trend TableThe "Volume-Supported Linear Regression Trend Table" (VSLRT Table) script helps traders identify buy and sell opportunities by analyzing price trends and volume dynamics across multiple timeframes. It uses linear regression to calculate the trend direction and volume strength, visually representing this data with color-coded signals on the chart and in a table. Green signals indicate buying opportunities, while red signals suggest selling, with volume acting as confirmation of trend strength. Traders can use these signals for both short and long positions, with additional risk management and multi-timeframe validation to enhance the strategy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To use the "Volume-Supported Linear Regression Trend Table" (VSLRT Table) script in a trading strategy, you would incorporate it into your decision-making process to identify potential buy and sell opportunities based on the trend and volume dynamics. Here’s how you could apply it for trading:
1. Understanding the Key Elements:
Trend Direction (Slope of Price): The script uses linear regression to assess the trend direction of the price. If the price slope is positive, the asset is likely in an uptrend; if it's negative, the asset is in a downtrend.
Volume-Backed Signals: The buy or sell signal is not only based on the price trend but also on volume. Volume is crucial in validating the strength of a trend; large volume often indicates strong interest in a direction.
2. Interpreting the Table and Signals:
The table displayed at the bottom-right of your TradingView chart gives you a clear overview of the trends across different timeframes:
Trend Colors:
Green hues (e.g., ccol11, ccol12, etc.): Indicate a buying trend supported by volume.
Red hues (e.g., ccol21, ccol22, etc.): Indicate a selling trend supported by volume.
Gray: Indicates weak or unclear trends where no decisive direction is present.
Buy/Sell Signals:
The script plots triangles on the chart:
Upward triangle below the bar signals a potential buy.
Downward triangle above the bar signals a potential sell.
3. Building a Trading Strategy:
Here’s how you can incorporate the script’s information into a trading strategy:
Buy Signal (Long Entry):
Look for green triangles (indicating a buy signal) below a bar.
Confirm that the trend color in the table for the relevant timeframe is green, which shows that the buy signal is supported by strong volume.
Ensure that the price is in an uptrend (positive slope) and that volume is increasing on upward moves, as this indicates buying interest.
Execute a long position when these conditions align.
Sell Signal (Short Entry):
Look for red triangles (indicating a sell signal) above a bar.
Confirm that the trend color in the table for the relevant timeframe is red, which shows that the sell signal is supported by strong volume.
Ensure that the price is in a downtrend (negative slope) and that volume is increasing on downward moves, indicating selling pressure.
Execute a short position when these conditions align.
Exiting the Trade:
Exit a long position when a sell signal (red triangle) appears, or when the trend color in the table shifts to red.
Exit a short position when a buy signal (green triangle) appears, or when the trend color in the table shifts to green.
4. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation:
The script provides trends across multiple timeframes (tf1, tf2, tf3), which can help in validating your trade:
Short-Term Trading: Use shorter timeframes (e.g., 3, 5 minutes) for intraday trades. If both short and medium timeframes align in trend direction (e.g., both showing green), it strengthens the signal.
Longer-Term Trading: If you are trading on a higher timeframe (e.g., daily or weekly), confirm that the lower timeframes align with your intended trade direction.
5. Adding Risk Management:
Stop-Loss: Place stop-losses below recent lows (for long trades) or above recent highs (for short trades) to minimize risk.
Take Profit: Consider taking profit at key support/resistance levels or based on a fixed risk-to-reward ratio (e.g., 2:1).
Example Strategy Flow:
For Long (Buy) Trade:
Signal: A green triangle appears below a candle (Buy signal).
Trend Confirmation: Check that the color in the table for your selected timeframe is green, confirming the trend is supported by volume.
Execute Long: Enter a long trade if the price is trending upward (positive price slope).
Exit Long: Exit when a red triangle appears above a candle (Sell signal) or if the trend color shifts to red in the table.
For Short (Sell) Trade:
Signal: A red triangle appears above a candle (Sell signal).
Trend Confirmation: Check that the color in the table for your selected timeframe is red, confirming the trend is supported by volume.
Execute Short: Enter a short trade if the price is trending downward (negative price slope).
Exit Short: Exit when a green triangle appears below a candle (Buy signal) or if the trend color shifts to green in the table.
6. Fine-Tuning:
Backtesting: Before trading live, use TradingView’s backtesting features to test the strategy on historical data and optimize the settings (e.g., length of linear regression, timeframe).
Combine with Other Indicators: Use this strategy alongside other technical indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD) for better confirmation.
In summary, the script helps identify trends with volume support, giving more confidence in buy/sell decisions. Combining these signals with risk management and multi-timeframe analysis can create a solid trading strategy.
