2-Year MA Multiplier [UAlgo]The 2-Year MA Multiplier is a technical analysis tool designed to assist traders and investors in identifying potential overbought and oversold conditions in the market. By plotting the 2-year moving average (MA) of an asset's closing price alongside an upper band set at five times this moving average, the indicator provides visual cues to assess long-term price trends and significant market movements.
🔶 Key Features
2-Year Moving Average (MA): Calculates the simple moving average of the asset's closing price over a 730-day period, representing approximately two years.
Visual Indicators: Plots the 2-year MA in forest green and the upper band in firebrick red for clear differentiation.
Fills the area between the 2-year MA and the upper band to highlight the normal trading range.
Uses color-coded fills to indicate overbought (tomato red) and oversold (cornflower blue) conditions based on the asset's closing price relative to the bands.
🔶 Idea
The concept behind the 2-Year MA Multiplier is rooted in the cyclical nature of markets, particularly in assets like Bitcoin. By analyzing long-term price movements, the indicator aims to identify periods of significant deviation from the norm, which may signal potential buying or selling opportunities.
2-year MA smooths out short-term volatility, providing a clearer view of the asset's long-term trend. This timeframe is substantial enough to capture major market cycles, making it a reliable baseline for analysis.
Multiplying the 2-year MA by five establishes an upper boundary that has historically correlated with market tops. When the asset's price exceeds this upper band, it may indicate overbought conditions, suggesting a potential for price correction. Conversely, when the price falls below the 2-year MA, it may signal oversold conditions, presenting potential buying opportunities.
🔶 Disclaimer

Not Financial Advice: The information provided by this indicator does not constitute financial advice, and the creator (UAlgo) shall not be held responsible for any trading losses incurred as a result of using this indicator.
Backtesting Recommended: Traders are encouraged to backtest the indicator thoroughly on historical data before using it in live trading to assess its performance and suitability for their trading strategies.
Risk Management: Trading involves inherent risks, and users should implement proper risk management strategies, including but not limited to stop-loss orders and position sizing, to mitigate potential losses.
No Guarantees: The accuracy and reliability of the indicator's signals cannot be guaranteed, as they are based on historical price data and past performance may not be indicative of future results.
Donchian Trend Ribbon (Gradient)Donchian Trend Ribbon (Gradient) Indicator
The Donchian Trend Ribbon (Gradient) uses Donchian Channels to visualize trend direction, strength, and market phases. Columns with varying colors and intensity help traders quickly assess trends.
Key Components:
Green Columns (Bullish):
Appear when price is above the upper Donchian Channel boundary.
Bright green in the top zone (25-50): Strong bullish trend.
Darker green in the lower zone (0-25): Weak/moderate bullish trend.
A full-height bright green column indicates a very strong upward move.
Red Columns (Bearish):
Appear when price is below the lower Donchian Channel boundary.
Bright red in the top zone (25-50): Strong bearish trend.
Darker red in the lower zone (0-25): Weak/moderate bearish trend.
A full-height bright red column indicates a very strong downward move.
Black Columns (Neutral):
Indicate no trend or market consolidation.
Signal to wait for trend emergence.
Expanding Steps:
Steps expanding downward from the upper edge (50) suggest diminishing momentum.
Steps expanding upward from the lower edge (0) indicate growing trend strength.
Methods of Use:
Identify Trends: Green (buy) or red (sell) columns in the top zone (25-50) signal strong trends.
Assess Strength: Bright colors = strong trends, darker colors = weaker trends. Full-height bright columns indicate very strong moves.
Neutral Phases: Black columns suggest waiting for a trend.
Example Strategy:
Buy when green columns appear in the 25-50 range with bright intensity.
Sell when red columns appear in the 25-50 range with bright intensity.
Exit positions if columns turn black or darker-colored.
LETF Leveraged Edge Strategy v1.5Overview
The strategy is based on Stochastics to detect trends and then makes Buys and Sell based on custom entry and exit criteria as described below in the Execution Logic Rules section. It will NOT work with standard Stochastics.
This is not a standard Stochastics implementation. It has been customized and modified, and does not match any widely known Stochastics variations (like Fast, Slow, or Full Stochastics) in its smoothing and iterative calculation process with:
• A unique smoothing mechanism.
• Iterative calculations.
• Additional conditional logic for strategy execution.
This strategy is designed to focus on volatile, liquid leveraged ETFs to capture gains equal to or better than Buy and Hold, and mitigate the risk of trading with a goal of reducing drawdown to a lot less than Buy and Hold. It has had successful backtest performance to varying degrees with TQQQ, SOXL, FNGU, TECL, FAS, UPRO, NAIL and SPXL. Results have not been good on other LETFs that have been backtested.
Performance
In this backtest the Net Profit shows to be $4,561 or 45.61%. Considering the initial order size was $1,000 I have to wonder if the Strategy Tester is calculating this correctly. The Strategy Tester Performance Summary shows the Buy and Hold Return at $61,165 or 611.7%. Based on calculating the price of the last shares sold, less the price paid, times the number of initial shares purchased, my math shows the Buy and Hold Gain at $4,572 or about equal with the strategy performance in this case. The Performance Summary also states the strategy had a Max DD of 3.46% which I believe is incorrect. Based on other backtests I’ve done, I believe the strategy drawdown here was closer to 28.4% and the Buy and Hold Drawdown at 82.7%. I manually calculated the Buy and Hold drawdown.
How it Works
The author provides training and support resource materials for this at his website. The strategy execution logic is driven by these rules:
Execution Logic Rules
Buy the LETF When:
BR #1a) The Daily Fast Line (FL) crosses above the Daily Slow Line (SL) and the FL is between the Low (L*) and High (H*) Range set (often referred to as Oversold and Overbought Lines). This can execute (Buy) any trading day of the week.
BR #1b) Re-Buy the next day after any Stop or Take Profit Sell if the Buy Rule condition is true (FL is above SL), if not, remain in cash and wait for the next Buy Signal.
Sell the LETF When:
SR #1a) The Daily Fast Line (FL) crosses below Daily Slow Line (SL) within the Low (L*) and High (H*) Range (often referred to as Oversold and Overbought Lines). “Crossunder Range Exit” This can execute (Sell) any trading day of the week.
SR #1b) If the (FL) crosses Below the SL above the Exit Level*, wait. Only Sell if the FL drops down below the Exit Level* “Crossunder Level Exit” This can execute (Sell) any trading day of the week.
SR #2a) Sell at the open any day the gap-down price is at or below the 1-Day Stop%*, based on previous day’s closing price (Execute on the day it happens.)
SR #2b) Sell intraday any day the price is at or below the 1-Day Stop %*, based on previous day’s closing price (Execute on the day it happens.)
SR #3a) Sell at the open any day the price is at or below the Trailing Stop %*, based on highest intraday price since Buy date (Execute on the day it happens.)
SR #3b) Sell intraday any day the price is at or below the Trailing Stop%*, based on highest intraday price since Buy date (Execute on the day it happens.)
SR #4) Sell any day when the opening price exceeds, or intraday price meets the Profit Target % price* (Execute on the day it happens.)
SR #5) After each Sell go to Rule BR #1b to determine if a Re-Buy should occur the next day, or stay in cash until next Buy Signal

Entry/Exit Conditions
Enter on Tie: Default Checked – if a Fast line crosses a Slow line for a Buy signal, but doesn’t do so in the range set, this will trigger if it crosses at a tie.
Renter – Default Checked – If stopped out of a position, this tells the strategy to re-buy the position the next day if the conditions are still positive.
Exit Level: This is a exit level for a Fast cross below a Slow line that takes place above the Sell Range, but only happens if the Fast continues down to the level set. These usually don’t happen often, but can have a significant impact on performance. Unfortunately, it’s a trial and error process starting with 90 and working down to see if there’s any positive impact.
Trade Range
Buy Range: Start at typical 20 to 80. Expand the low end down first to check on performance impact. Normally a wide buying range is better for performance.
Sell Range: Start at 20 to 80 and tighten gradually to see performance impact. In some cases a very tight sell range does better. I have worked on our primary LETFs for many months to determine ranges for each that typically produce better results.
External Indicator: Some additional indicators have a positive impact on the strategy performance by increasing P/l, reducing drawdown and reducing the number of trades. This is not always the case and each LETF and time period for the LETF will have a bearing on whether the secondary indicator will help or not. Two that have helped are the MACD Histogram, and the Sloe-Velocity Indicator by Kamleshkumar43. Sometimes a couple of different indicators will have a positive impact, then it’s a personal preference which you pick to use with the strategy.
Since this strategy is focused on a very narrow selection of liquid LETFs, I have a lot of experience experimenting with the settings for the primary ones and can suggest things that will help. Additional training on the rules, working with the settings, and mitigating some of the negative trades during choppy markets is available at the website.
Chart
The strategy can be selected to use either a Daily or Weekly version of stochastic. This is important because the characteristics are different while still generating very good gains and minimal drawdowns. Generally, the daily stochastic will have a greater number of, and certainly more frequent, trades than the weekly stochastic. However, on average the daily version of the stochastic will generates greater profitability.
The Settings tabs have tooltip icons that will assist in inputting values that correspond to the written rules for the strategy, and some include specific rule detail.
Buying
The strategy generates Buy signals with the Fast line crossing over the Slow line within a “Buy Range” which is adjusted based on volatility of the leveraged ETF. This is unique in that a default is set for these entries to occur if the values are tied and doesn’t need to be within the high and low range if that occurs. The trader can select in the strategy for this to occur the same day, if he’s selected a Daily Stochastic timeframe, or at the end of the trading week if he’s selected a Weekly stochastic timeframe. The volatility of a leveraged ETF will sometimes cause a shake-out exit, a trailing stop can be hit, or there can be an exit based on taking a profit. A big part of the timing challenge was how to handle these. The strategy normally (set as a default) will immediately re-buy the next day only if the original buy conditions are still true. This helps capture gains when conditions are still favorable but keeps the trader out when they’re not.
Selling
Exits are handled in several ways. The strategy will exit if there is a fast line cross below a slow line within the “range”. The range is adjusted based on volatility of the leveraged ETF. The exit occurs at the close of the day if the trader has selected to use a Daily stochastic setting. The exit will occur at the end of the trading week if the trader has chosen a weekly stochastic strategy. The trader will set a level based on the instrument and volatility for another exit type. The level will sometimes coincide with the range exit high level but does not need to. If a fast line crosses down through a slow line above the level set, and then comes down to that level, the strategy will exit the position.
Another unique aspect of the strategy is the PD Stop setting. This is short for “Prior Day”, Rather than a normal stop based on the price paid for a position, the PD Stop is based on a percentage drop from the previous day’s closing price. This helps account for the volatility of the leveraged ETF and will cause an exit quickly if there’s a market, or index moving event. This helps capture gains and reduce risk should there be continued pullback.
Exits will also occur based on setting a trailing stop level and profit taking level. These are adjusted based on the leveraged ETFs volatility and historical performance.
Limitations
Choppy, or sideways markets are the most prone to poor performance and potential for being stopped out multiple times. If stopped out two consecutive times, make sure you’re monitoring market health and there are clear signs of a new uptrend such as a 10D and 21D MA in proper alignment and moving up. If you get a Buy signal from the strategy and you’re not confident yet about market and price direction then it’s fine to wait a day, or several days, to enter after the Buy signal when you have greater confidence about market direction. The author can help with a short list of tactical rules developed for these sideways or choppy markets.
This strategy has proven successful backtest results with a very limited set of LETFs as discussed earlier. The author does not know if it will prove successful with any others, or other types of ETFs such as 2X or plain ETFs. A lot more testing needs to be done.
The strategy buys and sells , excluding stops or take profit, at the market close. It can be very challenging to enter an order at market close.
Disclaimer
Please remember that past performance may not be indicative of future results.
Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, the strategy may no longer perform as well as in historical backtesting. This post and the script do not provide any financial advice and are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

How the Indicator Works
Hourly H/L Analysis:
The indicator calculates the highest and lowest prices for each hour in the specified date range.
Each hourly high and low occurrence is recorded and aggregated into a table, with counts displayed for all 24 hours.
Users can toggle the visibility of empty cells (hours with no high/low occurrences) and adjust the table's design to suit their preferences.
Supports both 12-hour (AM/PM) and 24-hour formats.
Weekly H/L DOTW Analysis:
The indicator tracks the highest and lowest prices for each day of the week during the user-specified date range.
Highs and lows are identified for the entire week, and the specific days when they occur are recorded.
Counts for each day are aggregated and displayed in a table, with a "Totals" column summarizing the overall occurrences.
The analysis resets weekly, ensuring accurate tracking of high/low days.
Code Breakdown:
Data Aggregation:
The script uses arrays to store counts of high/low occurrences for both hourly and weekly intervals.
Daily data is fetched using the request.security() function, ensuring consistent results regardless of the chart's timeframe.
Weekly Reset Mechanism:
Weekly high/low values are reset at the start of a new week (Monday) to ensure accurate weekly tracking.
A processing flag ensures that weekly data is counted only once at the end of the week (Sunday).
Table Visualization:
Tables are created using the table.new() function, with customizable styles and positions.
Header rows, data rows, and totals are dynamically populated based on the aggregated data.
User Inputs:
Customization options include text colors, background colors, table positioning, label formatting, and date ranges.
Code Explanation
The script is structured into two main sections:
Hourly H/L Analysis:
This section captures and aggregates high/low occurrences for each hour of the day.
The logic is session-aware, allowing users to define custom session times (e.g., 22-hour futures sessions).
Data is displayed in a clean table format with hourly labels.
Weekly H/L DOTW Analysis:
This section tracks weekly highs and lows by day of the week.
Highs and lows are identified for each week, and counts are updated only once per week to prevent duplication.
A user-friendly table displays the counts for each day of the week, along with totals.
Both sections are completely independent of each other to avoid interference. This ensures that enabling or disabling one section does not impact the functionality of the other.
Customization Options
For Hourly Analysis:
Toggle hourly table visibility.
Choose session start and end times.
Select hourly label format (12-hour or 24-hour).
Customize table appearance (colors, position, text size).
For Weekly DOTW Analysis:

[AlbaTherium] Volume Venturius Premium Volume Venturius Premium
Introduction
The Volume Venturius Premium is an advanced market analysis tool designed to deeply investigate the behavior of active market participants. By focusing exclusively on executed market orders, Volume Venturius offers traders a unique perspective on buy and sell volumes. Unlike traditional order books that track passive orders, this indicator isolates active orders, shedding light on real market dynamics.
Chapter 1: Understanding Market Participants
1.1 Categories of Market Participants
Market participants can be classified into several categories based on their:
Size : The volume of trades executed.
Influence : Their ability to initiate bull or bear campaigns.
Strategy : The trading methods employed, such as scalping, swing trading, or high-frequency trading.
Objectives : Whether their focus is on speculation, hedging, or arbitrage.
Time Horizon : Short-term versus long-term goals.
Behavioral Patterns : Their reaction to liquidity levels or price movements.
1.2 Objectives of Market Participants
Each category pursues specific objectives, such as profit-making or risk management. Regulatory reports like the Commitment of Traders (COT) provide weekly insights into the positions and intentions of major players.
Chapter 2: The Philosophy of Volume Analysis
2.1 Active Orders vs. Passive Orders
Unlike passive orders waiting to be filled at specific prices, active orders directly impact market prices. By focusing on these executed orders, Volume Venturius Premium provides traders with actionable insights into market trends and momentum.
2.2 Wyckoff’s Market Dynamics
According to Wyckoff, markets operate in two primary phases:
Manipulation: Where large participants accumulate or distribute positions to prepare for a move.
Expansion: The phase where price trends begin to unfold, either in a bullish or bearish direction.
Wyckoff’s theory emphasizes understanding how major players manipulate the market to identify accumulation or distribution zones. Volume Venturius Premium aids in pinpointing these manipulative actions by analyzing volume and order flow data.
Chapter 3: The Secrets of Order Flow and Volume
3.1 Unveiling Market Control
By studying the positioning and execution volumes of large players, traders can discern who holds control in the market. Volume Venturius Premium identifies the balance of power and tracks shifts that signal potential trend reversals.
3.2 Behavioral Patterns in Volume
Key metrics tracked by Volume Venturius Premium include:
Volume Clusters : Areas of concentrated buying or selling activity.
Directional Bias : Whether market participants are net buyers or sellers.
Momentum Shifts : Changes in execution speed and volume that may precede major moves.
3.2.1 Volume Clusters, Directional Bias and Directional Bias: Areas of Concentrated Buying or Selling Activity
Volume clusters play a crucial role in understanding market dynamics by highlighting areas where aggressive buying or selling activity is most concentrated. These clusters often serve as key decision zones, providing insights into potential reversals, breakouts, or continuations. To better visualize and interpret these zones, a distinct color-coding system has been implemented. Each color represents a specific market condition or level of activity, allowing for a more intuitive analysis of volume behavior and its influence on price movement.
Below is a detailed explanation of the color logic used to represent these clusters and their significance within the trading framework.
Color Interpretation and Meaning :
Extra Extreme Zones
These zones highlight areas where clusters of aggressive buyers or sellers are most heavily concentrated. They represent critical levels for identifying potential reversals or strong continuations.
Bright Red (#ff003c) : Represents extra-extreme sell zones, where aggressive sellers dominate.
Meaning: Indicates extreme selling pressure, often signaling potential exhaustion of sellers.
Bright Blue (#001eff) : Represents extra-extreme buy zones, where aggressive buyers are most active.
Meaning: Shows extreme buying pressure, possibly marking a saturation point for buyers.
Main Zones
These zones help identify key levels based on volume activity and well-defined clusters.
Dark Red (#d60033) : Represents strong selling pressure.
Orange (#ff8000) : Indicates significant selling pressure that begins to fade.
Yellow (#ffff00) : Represents moderate selling pressure, signaling a potential slowdown.
White (#ffffff) : Marks transition zones, which are interesting entry points for potential reversals or continuations.
Transition Zones (Frontier Zones)
These zones indicate intermediate movements and potential shifts in momentum.
Transparent Black (#000000, 50) : Represents transition areas, where the market tests boundaries between buyers and sellers.
Meaning: These are critical decision points.
Neutral Zone (Sea Zone)- Trend Zones
These zones represent more balanced market activity, where neither buyers nor sellers dominate clearly.
Transparent Green (#00e040, 25) : Indicates slight bullish activity in a neutral zone.
Transparent Red (#e01a00, 25) : Indicates slight bearish activity in a neutral zone.
This color logic allows you to pinpoint areas where volume clusters show a clear dominance, exhaustion, or optimal entry opportunities.
3.3 Divergences Between Price and Volume
Divergences between price and volume are critical for identifying key shifts in market sentiment. Volume Venturius Premium distinguishes two main types of divergences: Lack of Participation and Absorption, each offering valuable signals for potential reversals or continuations.
Lack of Participation
This divergence occurs when price movements are not supported by corresponding volume dynamics, signaling a reduction in activity from significant market participants.
1. Bullish Lack of Participation:
Characteristics : Price is making lower lows, but volume is making higher lows.
This indicates waning selling pressure as prices drop.
Inference : A potential bullish reversal may occur. Traders could consider looking for opportunities to go long.
2.Bearish Lack of Participation:
Characteristics : Price is making higher highs, but volume is making lower highs. This suggests diminishing buying pressure even as prices rise.
Inference : A potential bearish reversal might follow. Traders might position to go short.
Absorption
Absorption occurs when larger market participants neutralize the pressure from smaller participants, often leading to significant market moves.
1.Bullish Absorption:
Characteristics : Price is making higher bottoms, but volume is making lower bottoms.
This reflects sellers being trapped as their selling efforts are absorbed by larger buyers.
Inference : A potential upward breakout is likely. Traders may look for opportunities to go long.
2.Bearish Absorption:
Characteristics : Price is making lower tops, but volume is making higher tops. This indicates buyers being trapped as larger sellers absorb their buying activity.
Inference : A downward breakout is probable. Traders may consider positioning to go short.

CauchyTrend [InvestorUnknown]The CauchyTrend is an experimental tool that leverages a Cauchy-weighted moving average combined with a modified Supertrend calculation. This unique approach provides traders with insight into trend direction, while also offering an optional ATR-based range analysis to understand how often the market closes within, above, or below a defined volatility band.
Core Concepts
Cauchy Distribution and Gamma Parameter
The Cauchy distribution is a probability distribution known for its heavy tails and lack of a defined mean or variance. It is characterized by two parameters: a location parameter (x0, often 0 in our usage) and a scale parameter (γ, "gamma").
Gamma (γ): Determines the "width" or scale of the distribution. Smaller gamma values produce a distribution more concentrated near the center, giving more weight to recent data points, while larger gamma values spread the weight more evenly across the sample.
In this indicator, gamma influences how much emphasis is placed on values closer to the current price versus those further away in time. This makes the resulting weighted average either more reactive or smoother, depending on gamma’s value.
// Cauchy PDF formula used for weighting:
// f(x; γ) = (1/(π*γ)) *
f_cauchyPDF(offset, gamma) =>
numerator = gamma * gamma
denominator = (offset * offset) + (gamma * gamma)
pdf = (1 / (math.pi * gamma)) * (numerator / denominator)
pdf
A chart showing different Cauchy PDFs with various gamma values, illustrating how gamma affects the weight distribution.
Cauchy-Weighted Moving Average (CWMA)
Using the Cauchy PDF, we calculate normalized weights to create a custom Weighted Moving Average. Each bar in the lookback period receives a weight according to the Cauchy PDF. The result is a Cauchy Weighted Average (cwm_avg) that differs from typical moving averages, potentially offering unique sensitivity to price movements.
// Summation of weighted prices using Cauchy distribution weights
cwm_avg = 0.0
for i = 0 to length - 1
w_norm = array.get(weights, i) / sum_w
cwm_avg += array.get(values, i) * w_norm
Supertrend with a Cauchy Twist
The indicator integrates a modified Supertrend calculation using the cwm_avg as its reference point. The Supertrend logic typically sets upper and lower bands based on volatility (ATR), and flips direction when price crosses these bands.
In this case, the Cauchy-based average replaces the usual baseline, aiming to capture trend direction via a different weighting mechanism.
When price closes above the upper band, the trend is considered bullish; closing below the lower band signals a bearish trend.
ATR Stats Range (Optional)
Beyond the fundamental trend detection, the indicator optionally computes ATR-based stats to understand price distribution relative to a volatility corridor centered on the cwm_avg line:
Volatility Range:
Defined as cwm_avg ± (ATR * atr_mult), this range creates upper and lower bands. Turning on atr_stats computes how often the daily close falls: Within the range, Above the upper ATR boundary, Below the lower ATR boundary, Within the range but above cwm_avg, Within the range but below cwm_avg
These statistics can help traders gauge how the market behaves relative to this volatility envelope and possibly identify if the market tends to revert to the mean or break out more often.
Backtesting and Performance Metrics
The code is integrated with a backtesting library that allows users to assess strategy performance historically:
Equity Curve Calculation: Compares CauchyTrend-based signals against the underlying asset.
Performance Metrics Table: Once enabled, displays key metrics such as mean returns, Sharpe Ratio, Sortino Ratio, and more, comparing the strategy to a simple Buy & Hold approach.
Alerts and Notifications
The indicator provides Alerts for key events:
Long Alert: Triggered when the trend flips bullish.
Short Alert: Triggered when the trend flips bearish.
Customization and Calibration
Important: The default parameters are not optimized for any specific instrument or time frame. Traders should:
Adjust the length and gamma parameters to influence how sharply or broadly the cwm_avg reacts to price changes.
Tune the atr_len and atr_mult for the Supertrend logic to better match the asset’s volatility characteristics.
Experiment with atr_stats on/off to see if that additional volatility distribution information provides helpful insights.
Traders may find certain sets of parameters that align better with their preferred trading style, risk tolerance, or asset volatility profile.

Blue Sniper V.1Overview
This Pine Script indicator is designed to generate Buy and Sell signals based on proximity to the 50 EMA, stochastic oscillator levels, retracement conditions, and EMA slopes. It is tailored for trending market conditions, making it ideal for identifying high-probability entry points during strong bullish or bearish trends.
Key Features:
Filters out signals in non-trending conditions.
Focuses on retracements near the 50 EMA for precise entries.
Supports alert notifications for Buy and Sell signals.
Includes a cooldown mechanism to prevent signal spamming.
Allows time-based filtering to restrict signals to a specific trading window.
How It Works
Trending Market Conditions
The indicator is most effective when the market exhibits a clear trend. It uses two exponential moving averages (50 EMA and 200 EMA) to determine the overall market trend:
Bullish Trend: 50 EMA is above the 200 EMA, and both EMAs have upward slopes.
Bearish Trend: 50 EMA is below the 200 EMA, and both EMAs have downward slopes.
Buy and Sell Conditions
Buy Signal:
The market is in a bullish trend.
Stochastic oscillator is in the oversold zone.
Price retraces upwards, breaking away from the recent low by more than 1.5 ATR.
Price is near the 50 EMA (within the defined proximity percentage).
Sell Signal:
The market is in a bearish trend.
Stochastic oscillator is in the overbought zone.
Price retraces downwards, breaking away from the recent high by more than 1.5 ATR.
Price is near the 50 EMA.
Outputs
Signals:
Buy Signal: Green "BUY" label below the price bar.
Sell Signal: Red "SELL" label above the price bar.
Alerts:
Alerts are triggered for Buy and Sell signals if conditions are met within the specified time window (if enabled).
EMA Visualization:
50 EMA (blue line).
200 EMA (red line).
Limitations
Not Suitable for Non-Trending Markets: This script is designed for trending conditions. Sideways or choppy markets may produce false signals.
Proximity Tolerance: Adjust the proximityPercent to prevent signals from triggering too frequently during minor oscillations around the 50 EMA.
No Guarantee of Accuracy: As with any technical indicator, it should be used in conjunction with other tools and analysis.

Enhanced Reversal DetectorEnhanced Reversal Detector - Script Description
Overview:
The Enhanced Reversal Detector is a highly refined indicator designed to identify precise trend reversals in financial markets. It improves upon the original reversal detection logic by incorporating additional filters for trend confirmation (using EMA), volume spikes, and candle patterns. These enhancements significantly increase the reliability and accuracy of reversal signals, making it an excellent tool for both short-term and long-term traders.
Key Features
Candle Lookback Logic:
The indicator evaluates historical price action over a user-defined lookback period to detect potential reversal zones.
Bullish reversal conditions are met when price consistently tests lows, and bearish reversal conditions are met when price tests highs.
Trend Confirmation (EMA Filter):
To ensure that reversal signals align with the broader market trend, the indicator incorporates an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) filter.
Bullish signals are only triggered when the price is above the EMA, while bearish signals are only triggered when the price is below the EMA.
Volume Spike Filter:
The indicator checks for significant increases in trading volume to confirm that the reversal is supported by strong market activity.
Volume spikes are calculated as trading volume exceeding a multiple of the 20-bar average volume (default: 1.5x).
Confirmation Period:
Users can define a confirmation window within which reversal signals must be validated.
This reduces false positives and ensures only strong reversals are considered.
Non-Repainting Mode:
Offers a non-repainting option, where signals are based on confirmed conditions from previous bars, ensuring reliability for backtesting.
Visual and Alert Features:
Clear visual markers on the chart indicate bullish (green triangle) and bearish (red triangle) reversal points.
Alert notifications can be enabled for both bullish and bearish reversals, keeping traders informed in real-time.
Inputs
Candle Lookback: Number of candles to evaluate for reversal conditions.
Confirm Within: Number of candles within which a reversal must be validated.
Non-Repainting Mode: Option to enable or disable repainting for signals.
EMA Length: The length of the Exponential Moving Average used for trend confirmation.
Volume Spike Multiplier: Multiplier for identifying significant increases in trading volume.
How It Works
Reversal Detection:
Bullish signals are triggered when:
Price consistently tests recent lows (lookback period).
Price closes above the EMA.
A significant volume spike occurs.
Bearish signals are triggered under opposite conditions (price testing highs, closing below EMA, and volume spike).
Signal Filtering:
Incorporates EMA and volume-based filters to eliminate false positives and focus on high-confidence reversal signals.
Alert Notifications:
Alerts notify users of bullish or bearish reversal opportunities as soon as they are detected.
Use Cases
Scalping and Day Trading:
Ideal for identifying reversals on lower timeframes (e.g., 1-minute or 5-minute charts).
Swing Trading:
Works effectively on higher timeframes (e.g., 1-hour or daily charts) for capturing significant
trend reversals.
Volatile Markets:
Particularly useful in high-volatility markets like cryptocurrencies or forex.
Customization Tips
Adjust the lookback period to fine-tune the sensitivity of the reversal detection.
Increase the volume spike multiplier for markets with irregular trading volumes to focus on significant moves.
Experiment with the EMA length to align signals with your trading strategy's preferred trend duration.
Conclusion
The Enhanced Reversal Detector combines advanced price action analysis, trend confirmation, and market participation filters to deliver high-accuracy reversal signals. With its customizable settings and robust filtering mechanisms, this indicator is an invaluable tool for identifying profitable trading opportunities while minimizing noise and false signals.
Average Price Range Screener [KFB Quant]Average Price Range Screener
Overview:
The Average Price Range Screener is a technical analysis tool designed to provide insights into the average price volatility across multiple symbols over user-defined time periods. The indicator compares price ranges from different assets and displays them in a visual table and chart for easy reference. This can be especially helpful for traders looking to identify symbols with high or low volatility across various time frames.
Key Features:
Multiple Symbols Supported:
The script allows for analysis of up to 10 symbols, such as major cryptocurrencies and market indices. Symbols can be selected by the user and configured for tracking price volatility.
Dynamic Range Calculation:
The script calculates the average price range of each symbol over three distinct time periods (default are 30, 60, and 90 bars). The price range for each symbol is calculated as a percentage of the bar's high-to-low difference relative to its low value.
Range Visualization:
The results are visually represented using:
- A color-coded table showing the calculated average ranges of each symbol and the current chart symbol.
- A line plot that visually tracks the volatility for each symbol on the chart, with color gradients representing the range intensity from low (red/orange) to high (blue/green).
Customizable Inputs:
- Length Inputs: Users can define the time lengths (default are 30, 60, and 90 bars) for calculating average price ranges for each symbol.
- Symbol Inputs: 10 symbols can be tracked at once, with default values set to popular crypto pairs and indices.
- Color Inputs: Users can customize the color scheme for the range values displayed in the table and chart.
Real-Time Ranking:
The indicator ranks symbols by their average price range, providing a clear view of which assets are exhibiting higher volatility at any given time.
Each symbol's range value is color-coded based on its relative volatility within the selected symbols (using a gradient from low to high range).
Data Table:
The table shows the average range values for each symbol in real-time, allowing users to compare volatility across multiple assets at a glance. The table is dynamically updated as new data comes in.
Interactive Labels:
The indicator adds labels to the chart, showing the average range for each symbol. These labels adjust in real-time as the price range values change, giving users an immediate view of volatility rankings.
How to Use:
Set Time Periods: Adjust the time periods (lengths) to match your trading strategy's timeframe and volatility preference.
Symbol Selection: Add and track the price range for your preferred symbols (cryptocurrencies, stocks, indices).
Monitor Volatility: Use the visual table and plot to identify symbols with higher or lower volatility, and adjust your trading strategy accordingly.
Interpret the Table and Chart: Ranges that are color-coded from red/orange (lower volatility) to blue/green (higher volatility) allow you to quickly gauge which symbols are most volatile.

Special Indicators (HH, ED)
Understanding Buy Signals
B1: Follow-Through Day (FTD)
Buy on the initial FTD with volume higher than the previous day. You may use an FTD from an index other than the NASDAQ:IXIC , but if you do, you must stay within that index for future Buy and Sell Signals.
B2: Additional Follow-Through
Buy on all additional follow-through days within 25 days from a rally day that closes above the low of the initial follow-through day.
B3: Low Above EMA21
Buy on an up or flat day when the intraday low is at or above the EMA21. Note: Once you have a B3 or B4, you can't have another until it is reset by an S5.
Special Buy Indicators
HH: Higher High (No FTD after Rally)
Triggers when current close exceeds highest point since last confirmed rally. Must not have a Follow-Through Day (FTD). Buy switch turns on when close exceeds last rally's high and turns off if close drops below that high.
ED: Expired Days
Tracks Distribution and Stalling days that have aged out. Days are tracked for a specific trading period and expired days are removed from the count.
Index Rise Settings
Index Rise 6% from DD & SD
Toggle to enable/disable monitoring of price rises above Distribution and Stalling Days. Default value of 6% (adjustable) for monitoring rises above these days.
Understanding Index Rise
This feature tracks significant market recoveries by monitoring when the index rises substantially above Distribution Days (DD) or Stalling Days (SD). When the index rises 6% or more above the closing price of any DD or SD, it indicates a strong market recovery. This is an important signal because it helps identify when the market has shown enough strength to potentially overcome previous distribution periods. When triggered, this signal reduces the distribution day count, effectively acknowledging that the previous distribution pattern may no longer be as relevant due to the market's strong recovery.

Trading Wisdom - Market Risk Management
"The key to successful trading is not just knowing when to enter, but managing your exposure based on market health. Always check two critical indicators before any trade:
1. Market Exposure Levels
100% (5 dots): Full positions in strong market
90% (4 dots): Slightly reduced positions
75% (3 dots): Moderate positions, more cautious
55% (2 dots): Half positions only
30% (1 dot): Small positions only
0% (0 dots): Stay in cash
2. Distribution Days Risk Levels
1-2 Days: Normal market behavior
3 Days: Caution - reduce new positions
4+ Days: High risk - defensive positioning
5-6 Days: Consider moving to cash
Remember: It's better to miss an opportunity than to catch a falling market. Let the Market Exposure Table be your guide to smart position sizing."
Pro Tip: Make checking these two indicators part of your daily routine. They're your first line of defense against major drawdowns.

Volume Spike DetectorVolume Spike Detector
This script is designed to identify significant spikes in trading volume and visually represent them on the chart. It calculates the 20-period simple moving average (SMA) of the trading volume and multiplies it by a user-defined threshold to determine the spike threshold. When the current volume exceeds this threshold, the script detects and highlights a volume spike.
Key Features:
Dynamic Spike Threshold:
The script calculates the spike threshold dynamically based on the average trading volume. Users can customize the threshold multiplier using an input setting.
Example: A threshold multiplier of 2.0 means the current volume must be twice the 20-period SMA to trigger a detection.
Visual Representation:
The current volume is plotted in blue bars.
The spike threshold is plotted as a red line, making it easy to visually identify when the volume crosses the threshold.
Alert Notification:
When a volume spike is detected, an alert is triggered to notify the user.
This feature is useful for real-time monitoring and spotting potential trading opportunities.
Use Case:
Traders can use this tool to identify sudden increases in trading activity, which may indicate a significant market move or event. It’s suitable for all markets, including cryptocurrencies, stocks, and forex.
Scatter PlotThe Price Volume Scatter Plot publication aims to provide intrabar detail as a Scatter Plot .
🔶 USAGE
A dot is drawn at every intrabar close price and its corresponding volume , as can seen in the following example:
Price is placed against the white y-axis, where volume is represented on the orange x-axis.
🔹 More detail
A Scatter Plot can be beneficial because it shows more detail compared with a Volume Profile (seen at the right of the Scatter Plot).
The Scatter Plot is accompanied by a "Line of Best Fit" (linear regression line) to help identify the underlying direction, which can be helpful in interpretation/evaluation.
It can be set as a screener by putting multiple layouts together.
🔹 Easier Interpretation
Instead of analysing the 1-minute chart together with volume, this can be visualised in the Scatter Plot, giving a straightforward and easy-to-interpret image of intrabar volume per price level.
One of the scatter plot's advantages is that volumes at the same price level are added to each other.
A dot on the scatter plot represents the cumulated amount of volume at that particular price level, regardless of whether the price closed one or more times at that price level.
Depending on the setting "Direction" , which sets the direction of the Volume-axis, users can hoover to see the corresponding price/volume.
🔹 Highest Intrabar Volume Values
Users can display up to 5 last maximum intrabar volume values, together with the intrabar timeframe (Res)
🔹 Practical Examples
When we divide the recent bar into three parts, the following can be noticed:
Price spends most of its time in the upper part, with relative medium-low volume, since the intrabar close prices are mostly situated in the upper left quadrant.
Price spends a shorter time in the middle part, with relative medium-low volume.
Price moved rarely below 61800 (the lowest part), but it was associated with high volume. None of the intrabar close prices reached the lowest area, and the price bounced back.
In the following example, the latest weekly candle shows a rejection of the 45.8 - 48.5K area, with the highest volume at the 45.8K level.
The next three successive candles show a declining maximum intrabar volume, after which the price broke through the 45.8K area.
🔹 Visual Options
There are many visual options available.
🔹 Change Direction
The Scatter Plot can be set in 4 different directions.
🔶 NOTES
🔹 Notes
The script uses the maximum available resources to draw the price/volume dots, which are 500 boxes and 500 labels. When the population size exceeds 1000, a warning is provided ( Not all data is shown ); otherwise, only the population size is displayed.
The Scatter Plot ideally needs a chart which contains at least 100 bars. When it contains less, a warning will be shown: bars < 100, not all data is shown
🔹 LTF Settings
When 'Auto' is enabled ( Settings , LTF ), the LTF will be the nearest possible x times smaller TF than the current TF. When 'Premium' is disabled, the minimum TF will always be 1 minute to ensure TradingView plans lower than Premium don't get an error.
Examples with current Daily TF (when Premium is enabled):
500 : 3 minute LTF
1500 (default): 1 minute LTF
5000: 30 seconds LTF (1 minute if Premium is disabled)

FVG Chain (Consecutive Fair Value Gaps / Imbalances)This indicator detects fair value gaps that are created out of the touch of older fair value gaps, hence creating an "FVG chain".
It counts +1 for the chain whenever a new price leg's FVG is touched.
You can use the current FVG Chain count, as well as the high, low, and price leg high/low of the current FVG as input source in external indicators. Check the data window to see the plot values.
How FVGs are detected:
Bullish: The low of the current confirmed bar is above the high of 2 bars back.
Bearish: The high of the current confirmed bar is below the low of 2 bars back.
A bullish FVG chain is broken if:
The current FVG's price leg low is broken.
The previous bar closed below the FVG, and the current confirmed bar closed below the previous bar.
A bearish FVG chain is broken if:
The current FVG's price leg high is broken.
The previous bar closed above the FVG, and the current confirmed bar closed above the previous bar.
Romantic Information CoefficientThis script calculates the Mutual Information (MI) between the closing prices of two assets over a defined lookback period. Mutual Information is a measure of the shared information between two time-series datasets. A higher MI indicates a stronger relationship between the two assets.
Key Features:
Ticker Inputs: You can select the tickers for two assets. For example, SPY (S&P 500 ETF) and AAPL (Apple stock) can be compared.
Lookback Period: Choose the number of bars to look back and calculate the Mutual Information. A larger lookback period incorporates more data, but may be less responsive to recent price changes.
Bins for Discretization: Control the level of granularity for discretizing the asset prices. More bins result in a more detailed MI calculation but can also reduce the signal-to-noise ratio.
Color Coded MI: The MI plot dynamically changes color to provide visual feedback on whether the relationship between the two assets is strengthening (red) or weakening (blue).

James Gordon StrategyThis strategy is designed to identify potential bullish “bounce” points off a long-term moving average, specifically the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), on a 4-hour chart. The logic behind the strategy assumes that when price action interacts with this key support level and then closes above it, buyers are showing renewed interest and strength at that price level.
How It Works:
1. Focus on the 200 EMA:
The 200 EMA is often considered a long-term trend indicator. Price trading above the 200 EMA generally suggests an uptrend, while price trading below it suggests a downtrend. By targeting bounces on this EMA, the strategy looks for moments when price is demonstrating a willingness to hold or reclaim a pivotal support level.
2. Bounce Condition:
A “bounce” is defined by two key criteria:
- Test of Support: During the chosen candle (4-hour timeframe), the low price of the candle reaches the 200 EMA or dips just below it, indicating the market is testing that support zone.
- Close Above the EMA: By the end of that same candle, the price closes above the 200 EMA, signaling that buyers stepped in and defended that level.
3. Why This Matters:
When a candle’s low touches or moves below an important moving average, it might appear that the price could break down further. However, if the candle still manages to close above this moving average, it indicates resilience and potential bullish momentum. This can be an early sign of a price rebound, potentially offering a trading opportunity for those looking to go long.
4. Practical Use:
- Entry Signals: Traders may use these bounce signals to time entries, betting on the idea that price could move higher now that key support has held.
- Stop Placement and Risk Management: Traders can define their risk by placing stops just below the recent low or slightly under the 200 EMA.
- Market Context: To maximize its usefulness, traders should combine the bounce condition with other indicators, market structure analysis, and fundamental insights.
Traders should consider the overall trend, momentum indicators, volume profiles, or macro events to increase confidence in the signal.
In essence, the strategy aims to highlight moments when price action “bounces” off a crucial support level, potentially signaling a favorable entry point for bullish trades.
Weekly Opening Range and Previous Data for FuturesThis indicator will not predict future price action.
This indicator is a time based range tool. These types of tools are great to use when there is not any historical data to look back on (as in all time highs/lows). The user can use this indicator to measure distributions, use deviations of the range to identify support/resistance levels, and see how historical price action influences current price action. This indicator is unique because it uses the price range from the open of the futures market on Sunday 18:00 America/New York to the open of the Bond Market 8:00 America/New York as the range for all calculations.
This indicator collects the multiple points of data from each day of the week, and gives the user many options on how to use the data that is collected. The amount of data collected is based on the time frame of the chart (best used on a 15 minute chart), but is limited to 30 minute charts.
Data Collected:
Opening Range for the week
High of Each Day
Low of Each Day
Close of Each Day
Initially the range is plotted on the chart as a box, when the Bond market opens the high/low/mid is plotted, as well as the current week open and previous week close.
How the data is used.
Intraday: Monday does not have a previous day to pull data on, so all data for Monday is intraday data. When a new high is made, the indicator will search all previous data in the lookback period for the current day , find all highs that are within a set variance (determined by the user), and plot the corresponding lows from the matching days. It will do the same for new lows that are made, with corresponding historical highs. All of these levels are plotted on the chart, as well as the Average High, Average Low. If price moves beyond either Average, the Average of all days that distributed higher than the Average is plotted on the chart as Min/Max Average.
Previous Day Data: Tuesday - Friday. After the close of the day, the user has the option to choose either the High, Low, or Close of that day to find previous data that matches within a variance determined by the user; or an option to find the n closest matches (up to 20). That data is then matched to the corresponding next day data and plotted on the chart as a box. Example: Monday closes at +1 Deviation (Dev) of the Weekly Opening Range (WOR). The user sets the variance at 0.5 (0.5 Dev of the WOR), the indicator will search the lookback period for all Mondays that closed between 1.25 Dev and 0.75 Dev of the WOR. The matching Mondays will then be matched to their corresponding Tuesdays and the data for the High and Low from those Tuesdays will be placed on the chart as a box overlaying the current Tuesday. Each match is numbered so that corresponding Highs and Lows of each historical day can be identified. The same can be done for either the High or Low of the Previous Day.
The indicator has a table that can be shown.
Data shown in table:
Current Extension of the WOR
Maximum Extension of the WOR
Average WOR in %
Current WOR in %
Average Range for the day in % based on data set
Current Range for the day in %
Number of days in the data set
Number of Previous Day Matches
Variance for previous day data
Number of Intraday High Matches
Number of Intraday Low Matches
Variance for Intraday Matches
The table as well as all lines and boxes have the option of being shown or not, as well as have their settings customized to fit the users chart layout.
As with any indicator, do not let the data shown change your trading model. Past performance is not indicative to future performance.

faiz MACDMACD: Moving Average Convergence Divergence
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a popular momentum indicator used in technical analysis to gauge the strength, direction, and potential reversal points of a trend in a financial asset's price movement. Developed by Gerald Appel in the late 1970s, MACD is particularly favored by traders for its ability to capture both trend-following and momentum aspects of price behavior.
Components of the MACD
The MACD is derived from two exponential moving averages (EMAs) of a security's price:
MACD Line: This is the difference between the 12-day and 26-day EMAs. The shorter 12-day EMA reacts more quickly to price changes, while the 26-day EMA smooths out price fluctuations, offering a longer-term perspective.
Formula: MACD Line = 12-day EMA - 26-day EMA
Signal Line: This is the 1-day EMA of the MACD Line itself. The signal line is used to generate buy and sell signals when it crosses the MACD line.
Formula: Signal Line = 1-day EMA of the MACD Line
MACD Histogram: The histogram represents the difference between the MACD Line and the Signal Line. It is displayed as bars that oscillate above and below a zero line, helping to visualize the convergence or divergence between the two lines.
Formula: Histogram = MACD Line - Signal Line
Interpretation of MACD
The MACD indicator is used to identify potential buy and sell signals based on the following observations:
MACD Line and Signal Line Crossovers:
Bullish Crossover: A buy signal occurs when the MACD Line crosses above the Signal Line. This suggests that the momentum is shifting in favor of the bulls, indicating a potential upward price movement.
Bearish Crossover: A sell signal occurs when the MACD Line crosses below the Signal Line. This suggests a bearish trend may be emerging, signaling a potential downward movement.
Divergence:
Bullish Divergence: Occurs when the price of the asset is making new lows, but the MACD is forming higher lows. This suggests that the downward momentum is weakening and a potential reversal to the upside may be imminent.
Bearish Divergence: Occurs when the price is making new highs, but the MACD is forming lower highs. This suggests that the upward momentum is weakening and a reversal to the downside may occur.
Only use it in timeframe m1, and solely use for XAUUSD pair.
Advisable to use it as a confirmation with other indicator such as
BBMA, SMC, SUPPORT RESISTANCE, SUPPLY AND DEMAND.
how to use :
MA 5 Crossing above MA9, will generate BUY signals
MA 5 Crossing below MA9, will generate SELL signals
