🔶 ORIGINALITY The Mean Reversion Cloud (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck) is a unique indicator that applies the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic process to identify mean-reverting behavior in asset prices. Unlike traditional moving average-based indicators, this model uses an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) to calculate the long-term mean, dynamically adjusting to recent price movements while still considering all historical data. It also incorporates volatility bands, providing a "cloud" that visually highlights overbought or oversold conditions. By calculating the speed of mean reversion (θ) through the autocorrelation of log returns, this indicator offers traders a more nuanced and mathematically robust tool for identifying mean-reversion opportunities. These innovations make it especially useful for markets that exhibit range-bound characteristics, offering timely buy and sell signals based on statistical deviations from the mean.
🔸Adaptive Mean Calculation Traditional MA indicators use fixed lengths, which can lead to lagging signals or over-sensitivity in volatile markets. The Mean Reversion Cloud uses an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA), which adapts to price movements by dynamically adjusting its calculation, offering a more responsive mean.
🔸Volatility-Based Cloud Unlike simple moving averages that only plot a single line, the Mean Reversion Cloud surrounds the dynamic mean with volatility bands. These bands, based on standard deviations, provide traders with a visual cue of when prices are statistically likely to revert, highlighting potential reversal zones.
🔸Speed of Reversion (θ) The indicator goes beyond price averages by calculating the speed at which the price reverts to the mean (θ), using the autocorrelation of log returns. This gives traders an additional tool for estimating the likelihood and timing of mean reversion, making the signals more reliable in practice.
🔶 FUNCTIONALITY The Mean Reversion Cloud (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck) indicator is designed to detect potential mean-reversion opportunities in asset prices by applying the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic process. It calculates a dynamic mean through the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) and plots volatility bands based on the standard deviation of the asset's price over a specified period. These bands create a "cloud" that represents expected price fluctuations, helping traders to identify overbought or oversold conditions. By calculating the speed of reversion (θ) from the autocorrelation of log returns, the indicator offers a more refined way of assessing how quickly prices may revert to the mean. Additionally, the inclusion of volatility provides a comprehensive view of market conditions, allowing for more accurate buy and sell signals.
Let's dive into the details:
🔸Dynamic Mean and Volatility Bands The dynamic mean (μ) is calculated using the EWMA, giving more weight to recent prices but considering all historical data. This process closely resembles the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process, which models the tendency of a stochastic variable (such as price) to revert to its mean over time. Volatility bands are plotted around the mean using standard deviation, forming the "cloud" that signals overbought or oversold conditions. The cloud adapts dynamically to price fluctuations and market volatility, making it a versatile tool for mean-reversion strategies. 🞘 How it works Step one: Calculate the dynamic mean (μ) The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process describes how a variable, such as an asset's price, tends to revert to a long-term mean while subject to random fluctuations. In this indicator, the EWMA is used to compute the dynamic mean (μ), mimicking the mean-reverting behavior of the OU process. Use the EWMA formula to compute a weighted mean that adjusts to recent price movements. Assign exponentially decreasing weights to older data while giving more emphasis to current prices. Step two: Plot volatility bands Calculate the standard deviation of the price over a user-defined period to determine market volatility. Position the upper and lower bands around the mean by adding and subtracting a multiple of the standard deviation. 🞘 How to calculate Exponential Weighted Moving Average (EWMA)
The EWMA dynamically adjusts to recent price movements:
mu_t = lambda * mu_{t-1} + (1 - lambda) * P_t
Where mu_t is the mean at time t, lambda is the decay factor, and P_t is the price at time t. The higher the decay factor, the more weight is given to recent data.
Autocorrelation (ρ) and Standard Deviation (σ)
To measure mean reversion speed and volatility: rho = correlation(log(close), log(close ), length) Where rho is the autocorrelation of log returns over a specified period.
To calculate volatility:
sigma = stdev(close, length)
Where sigma is the standard deviation of the asset's closing price over a specified length.
Upper and Lower Bands
The upper and lower bands are calculated as follows:
upper_band = mu + (threshold * sigma)
lower_band = mu - (threshold * sigma)
Where threshold is a multiplier for the standard deviation, usually set to 2. These bands represent the range within which the price is expected to fluctuate, based on current volatility and the mean.
🞘 Code extract // Calculate Returns
returns = math.log(close / close )
// Calculate Long-Term Mean (μ) using EWMA over the entire dataset
var float ewma_mu = na // Initialize ewma_mu as 'na'
ewma_mu := na(ewma_mu ) ? close : decay_factor * ewma_mu + (1 - decay_factor) * close
mu = ewma_mu
// Calculate Autocorrelation at Lag 1
rho1 = ta.correlation(returns, returns , corr_length)
// Ensure rho1 is within valid range to avoid errors
rho1 := na(rho1) or rho1 <= 0 ? 0.0001 : rho1
// Calculate Speed of Mean Reversion (θ)
theta = -math.log(rho1)
// Calculate Volatility (σ)
sigma = ta.stdev(close, corr_length)
// Calculate Upper and Lower Bands
upper_band = mu + threshold * sigma
lower_band = mu - threshold * sigma
🔸Visualization via Table and Plotshapes
The table shows key statistics such as the current value of the dynamic mean (μ), the number of times the price has crossed the upper or lower bands, and the consecutive number of bars that the price has remained in an overbought or oversold state.
Plotshapes (diamonds) are used to signal buy and sell opportunities. A green diamond below the price suggests a buy signal when the price crosses below the lower band, and a red diamond above the price indicates a sell signal when the price crosses above the upper band.
The table and plotshapes provide a comprehensive visualization, combining both statistical and actionable information to aid decision-making.
🞘 Code extract // Reset consecutive_bars when price crosses the mean
var consecutive_bars = 0
if (close < mu and close >= mu) or (close > mu and close <= mu)
consecutive_bars := 0
else if math.abs(deviation) > 0
consecutive_bars := math.min(consecutive_bars + 1, dev_length)
transparency = math.max(0, math.min(100, 100 - (consecutive_bars * 100 / dev_length)))

Use the upper and lower bands as dynamic support/resistance levels for setting take profit and stop-loss orders. Combining this indicator with additional trend-following or momentum-based indicators can improve signal accuracy. Adjust settings for better mean-reversion detection and risk management.
🔸Step-by-Step Guidelines
🞘 Setting Up the Indicator
Adding the Indicator to the Chart:
Go to your TradingView chart.
Click on the "Indicators" button at the top.
Search for "Mean Reversion Cloud (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck)" in the indicators list.
Click on the indicator to add it to your chart.
Configuring the Indicator:
Open the indicator settings by clicking on the gear icon next to its name on the chart.
Decay Factor: Adjust the decay factor (λ) to control the responsiveness of the mean calculation. A higher value prioritizes recent data.
Autocorrelation Length: Set the autocorrelation length (θ) for calculating the speed of mean reversion. Longer lengths consider more historical data.
Threshold: Define the number of standard deviations for the upper and lower bands to determine how far price must deviate to trigger a signal.
Chart Setup:
Select the appropriate timeframe (e.g., 1-hour, daily) based on your trading strategy.
Consider using other indicators such as RSI or MACD to confirm buy and sell signals.
🞘 Understanding What to Look For on the Chart
Indicator Behavior:
Observe how the price interacts with the dynamic mean and volatility bands. The price staying within the bands suggests mean-reverting behavior, while crossing the bands signals potential entry points.
The indicator calculates overbought/oversold conditions based on deviation from the mean, highlighted by color-coded cloud areas on the chart.
Crossovers and Deviation:
Look for crossovers between the price and the mean (μ) or the bands. A bullish crossover occurs when the price crosses below the lower band, signaling a potential buying opportunity.
A bearish crossover occurs when the price crosses above the upper band, suggesting a potential sell signal.
Deviations from the mean indicate market extremes. A large deviation indicates that the price is far from the mean, suggesting a potential reversal.
Slope and Direction:
Pay attention to the slope of the mean (μ). A rising slope suggests bullish market conditions, while a declining slope signals a bearish market.
The steepness of the slope can indicate the strength of the mean-reversion trend.
🞘 Possible Entry Signals
Bullish Entry:
Crossover Entry: Enter a long position when the price crosses below the lower band with a positive deviation from the mean.
Confirmation Entry: Use additional indicators like RSI (above 50) or increasing volume to confirm the bullish signal.
Bearish Entry:
Crossover Entry: Enter a short position when the price crosses above the upper band with a negative deviation from the mean.
Confirmation Entry: Look for RSI (below 50) or decreasing volume to confirm the bearish signal.
Deviation Confirmation:
Enter trades when the deviation from the mean is significant, indicating that the price has strayed far from its expected value and is likely to revert.
🞘 Possible Take Profit Strategies
Static Take Profit Levels:
Set predefined take profit levels based on historical volatility, using the upper and lower bands as guides.
Place take profit orders near recent support/resistance levels, ensuring you're capitalizing on the mean-reversion behavior.
Trailing Stop Loss:
Use a trailing stop based on a percentage of the price deviation from the mean to lock in profits as the trend progresses.
Adjust the trailing stop dynamically along the calculated bands to protect profits as the price returns to the mean.
Deviation-Based Exits:
Exit when the deviation from the mean starts to decrease, signaling that the price is returning to its equilibrium.
🞘 Possible Stop-Loss Levels
Initial Stop Loss:
Place an initial stop loss outside the lower band (for long positions) or above the upper band (for short positions) to protect against excessive deviations.
Use a volatility-based buffer to avoid getting stopped out during normal price fluctuations.
Dynamic Stop Loss:
Move the stop loss closer to the mean as the price converges back towards equilibrium, reducing risk.
Adjust the stop loss dynamically along the bands to account for sudden market movements.
🞘 Additional Tips
Combine with Other Indicators:
Enhance your strategy by combining the Mean Reversion Cloud with momentum indicators like MACD, RSI, or Bollinger Bands to confirm market conditions.
Backtesting and Practice:
Backtest the indicator on historical data to understand how it performs in various market environments.
Practice using the indicator on a demo account before implementing it in live trading.
Market Awareness:
Keep an eye on market news and events that might cause extreme price movements. The indicator reacts to price data and might not account for news-driven events that can cause large deviations.
🔸Customize settings 🞘 Decay Factor (λ): Defines the weight assigned to recent price data in the calculation of the mean. A value closer to 1 places more emphasis on recent prices, while lower values create a smoother, more lagging mean.
🞘 Autocorrelation Length (θ): Sets the period for calculating the speed of mean reversion and volatility. Longer lengths capture more historical data, providing smoother calculations, while shorter lengths make the indicator more responsive.
🞘 Threshold (σ): Specifies the number of standard deviations used to create the upper and lower bands. Higher thresholds widen the bands, producing fewer signals, while lower thresholds tighten the bands for more frequent signals.
🞘 Max Gradient Length (γ): Determines the maximum number of consecutive bars for calculating the deviation gradient. This setting impacts the transparency of the plotted bands based on the length of deviation from the mean.

Periodic Linear Regressions [LuxAlgo]The Periodic Linear Regressions (PLR) indicator calculates linear regressions periodically (similar to the VWAP indicator) based on a user-set period (anchor).
This allows for estimating underlying trends in the price, as well as providing potential supports/resistances.
🔶 USAGE
The Periodic Linear Regressions indicator calculates a linear regression over a user-selected interval determined from the selected "Anchor Period".
The PLR can be visualized as a regular linear regression (Static), with a fit readjusting for new data points until the end of the selected period, or as a moving average (Rolling), with new values obtained from the last point of a linear regression fitted over the calculation interval. While the static method line is prone to repainting, it has value since it can further emphasize the linearity of an underlying trend, as well as suggest future trend directions by extrapolating the fit.
Extremities are included in the indicator, these are obtained from the root mean squared error (RMSE) between the price and calculated linear regression. The Multiple setting allows the users to control how far each extremity is from the other.
Periodic Linear Regressions can be helpful in finding support/resistance areas or even opportunities when ranging in a channel.
The anchor - where a new period starts - can be shown (in this case in the top right corner).
The shown bands can be visualized by enabling Show Extremities in settings ( Rolling or Static method).
The script includes a background gradient color option for the bands, which only applies when using the Rolling method.
The indicator colors can be suggestive of the detected trend and are determined as follows:
Method Rolling: a gradient color between red and green indicates the trend; more green if the output is rising, suggesting an uptrend, and more red if it is decreasing, suggesting a downtrend.
Method Static: green if the slope of the line is positive, suggesting an uptrend, red if negative, suggesting a downtrend.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Anchor Type
When the Anchor Type is set to Periodic , the indicator will be reset when the "Anchor Period" changes, after which calculations will start again.
An anchored rolling line set at First Bar won't reset at a new session; it will continue calculating the linear regression from the first bar to the last; in other words, every bar is included in the calculation. This can be useful to detect potential long-term tops/bottoms.
Note that a linear regression needs at least two values for its calculation, which explains why you won't see a static line at the first bar of the session. The rolling linear regression will only show from the 3rd bar of the session since it also needs a previous value.
🔹 Rolling/Static
When Anchor Type is set at Periodic , a linear regression is calculated between the first bar of the chosen session and the current bar, aiming to find the line that best fits the dataset.
The example above shows the lines drawn during the session. The offered script, though, shows the last calculated point connected to the previous point when the Rolling method is chosen, while the Static method shows the latest line.
Note that linear regression needs at least two values, which explains why you won't see a static line at the first bar of the session. The rolling line will only show from the 3rd bar of the session since it also needs a previous value.
🔶 SETTINGS

Pi Cycle Top & Bottom Indicator [InvestorUnknown]The Pi Cycle Top & Bottom Indicator is designed for long-term cycle analysis, particularly useful for detecting significant market tops and bottoms in assets like Bitcoin. By comparing the behavior of two moving averages, one with a shorter period (default 111) and the other with a longer period (default 350), the indicator helps investors identify potential turning points in the market.
Key Features:
Dual Moving Average System:
The indicator uses two moving averages (MA) to create a cyclic oscillator. The shorter moving average (Short Length MA) is more reactive to recent price changes, while the longer moving average (Long Length MA) smooths out long-term trends. Users can select between:
Simple Moving Average (SMA): A straightforward average of closing prices.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Places more weight on recent prices, making it more responsive to market changes.
Oscillator Mode Options:
The Pi Cycle Indicator offers two modes of oscillation to better suit different analysis styles:
RAW Mode: This mode calculates the raw ratio of the Short MA to the Long MA, offering a simple comparison of the two averages.
LOG(X) Mode: In this mode, the oscillator takes the natural logarithm of the Short MA to Long MA ratio. This transformation compresses extreme values and highlights relative changes more effectively, making it particularly useful for spotting shifts in long-term trends.
Cyclical Analysis:
The core of the Pi Cycle Indicator is its ability to visualize the relationship between the two moving averages. The ratio of the Short MA to the Long MA is plotted as an oscillator. When the oscillator crosses above or below a baseline (which is 1 for RAW mode and 0 for LOG(X) mode), it signals potential market turning points.
Visual Representation:
The indicator provides a clear visual display of market conditions:
Orange Line: Represents the Pi Cycle Oscillator, which shows the relationship between the short and long moving averages.
Gray Baseline: A reference line that dynamically adjusts based on the oscillator mode. Crosses above or below this line help indicate possible trend reversals.
Shaded Areas: Color-filled areas between the oscillator and the baseline, which are shaded green when the market is bullish (oscillator above baseline) and red when bearish (oscillator below baseline). This provides a visual cue to assist in identifying potential market tops and bottoms.
Use Cases:
The Pi Cycle Top & Bottom Indicator is primarily used in long-term market analysis, such as Bitcoin cycles, to identify significant tops and bottoms. These moments often coincide with large cyclical shifts, making it valuable for those aiming to enter or exit positions at key moments in the market cycle.
By analyzing the interaction between short-term and long-term trends, investors can gain insight into broader market dynamics and make more informed decisions regarding entry and exit points. The ability to switch between moving average types (SMA/EMA) and oscillator modes (RAW/LOG) adds flexibility for adapting to different market environments.

Bitcoin CME-Spot Z-Spread - Strategy [presentTrading]This time is a swing trading strategy! It measures the sentiment of the Bitcoin market through the spread of CME Bitcoin Futures and Bitfinex BTCUSD Spot prices. By applying Bollinger Bands to the spread, the strategy seeks to capture mean-reversion opportunities when prices deviate significantly from their historical norms
█ Introduction and How it is Different
The Bitcoin CME-Spot Bollinger Bands Strategy is designed to capture mean-reversion opportunities by exploiting the spread between CME Bitcoin Futures and Bitfinex BTCUSD Spot prices. The strategy uses Bollinger Bands to detect when the spread between these two correlated assets has deviated significantly from its historical norm, signaling potential overbought or oversold conditions.
What sets this strategy apart is its focus on spread trading between futures and spot markets rather than price-based indicators. By applying Bollinger Bands to the spread rather than individual prices, the strategy identifies price inefficiencies across markets, allowing traders to take advantage of the natural reversion to the mean that often occurs in these correlated assets.
BTCUSD 8hr Performance
█ Strategy, How It Works: Detailed Explanation
The strategy relies on Bollinger Bands to assess the volatility and relative deviation of the spread between CME Bitcoin Futures and Bitfinex BTCUSD Spot prices. Bollinger Bands consist of a moving average and two standard deviation bands, which help measure how much the spread deviates from its historical mean.
🔶 Spread Calculation:
The spread is calculated by subtracting the Bitfinex spot price from the CME Bitcoin futures price:
Spread = CME Price - Bitfinex Price
This spread represents the difference between the futures and spot markets, which may widen or narrow based on supply and demand dynamics in each market. By analyzing the spread, the strategy can detect when prices are too far apart (potentially overbought or oversold), indicating a trading opportunity.
🔶 Bollinger Bands Calculation:
The Bollinger Bands for the spread are calculated using a simple moving average (SMA) and the standard deviation of the spread over a defined period.
1. Moving Average (SMA):
The simple moving average of the spread (mu_S) over a specified period P is calculated as:
mu_S = (1/P) * sum(S_i from i=1 to P)
Where S_i represents the spread at time i, and P is the lookback period (default is 200 bars). The moving average provides a baseline for the normal spread behavior.
2. Standard Deviation:
The standard deviation (sigma_S) of the spread is calculated to measure the volatility of the spread:
sigma_S = sqrt((1/P) * sum((S_i - mu_S)^2 from i=1 to P))
3. Upper and Lower Bollinger Bands:
The upper and lower Bollinger Bands are derived by adding and subtracting a multiple of the standard deviation from the moving average. The number of standard deviations is determined by a user-defined parameter k (default is 2.618).
- Upper Band:
Upper Band = mu_S + (k * sigma_S)
- Lower Band:
Lower Band = mu_S - (k * sigma_S)
These bands provide a dynamic range within which the spread typically fluctuates. When the spread moves outside of these bands, it is considered overbought or oversold, potentially offering trading opportunities.
Local view
🔶 Entry Conditions:
- Long Entry: A long position is triggered when the spread crosses below the lower Bollinger Band, indicating that the spread has become oversold and is likely to revert upward.
Spread < Lower Band
- Short Entry: A short position is triggered when the spread crosses above the upper Bollinger Band, indicating that the spread has become overbought and is likely to revert downward.
Spread > Upper Band
🔶 Risk Management and Profit-Taking:
The strategy incorporates multi-step take profits to lock in gains as the trade moves in favor. The position is gradually reduced at predefined profit levels, reducing risk while allowing part of the trade to continue running if the price keeps moving favorably.
Additionally, the strategy uses a hold period exit mechanism. If the trade does not hit any of the take-profit levels within a certain number of bars, the position is closed automatically to avoid excessive exposure to market risks.
█ Trade Direction
The trade direction is based on deviations of the spread from its historical norm:
- Long Trade: The strategy enters a long position when the spread crosses below the lower Bollinger Band, signaling an oversold condition where the spread is expected to narrow.
- Short Trade: The strategy enters a short position when the spread crosses above the upper Bollinger Band, signaling an overbought condition where the spread is expected to widen.
These entries rely on the assumption of mean reversion, where extreme deviations from the average spread are likely to revert over time.
█ Usage
The Bitcoin CME-Spot Bollinger Bands Strategy is ideal for traders looking to capitalize on price inefficiencies between Bitcoin futures and spot markets. It’s especially useful in volatile markets where large deviations between futures and spot prices occur.
- Market Conditions: This strategy is most effective in correlated markets, like CME futures and spot Bitcoin. Traders can adjust the Bollinger Bands period and standard deviation multiplier to suit different volatility regimes.
- Backtesting: Before deployment, backtesting the strategy across different market conditions and timeframes is recommended to ensure robustness. Adjust the take-profit steps and hold periods to reflect the trader’s risk tolerance and market behavior.
█ Default Settings
The default settings provide a balanced approach to spread trading using Bollinger Bands but can be adjusted depending on market conditions or personal trading preferences.
🔶 Bollinger Bands Period (200 bars):
This defines the number of bars used to calculate the moving average and standard deviation for the Bollinger Bands. A longer period smooths out short-term fluctuations and focuses on larger, more significant trends. Adjusting the period affects the responsiveness of the strategy:
- Shorter periods (e.g., 100 bars): Makes the strategy more reactive to short-term market fluctuations, potentially generating more signals but increasing the risk of false positives.
- Longer periods (e.g., 300 bars): Focuses on longer-term trends, reducing the frequency of trades and focusing only on significant deviations.
🔶 Standard Deviation Multiplier (2.618):
The multiplier controls how wide the Bollinger Bands are around the moving average. By default, the bands are set at 2.618 standard deviations away from the average, ensuring that only significant deviations trigger trades.
- Higher multipliers (e.g., 3.0): Require a more extreme deviation to trigger trades, reducing trade frequency but potentially increasing the accuracy of signals.
- Lower multipliers (e.g., 2.0): Make the bands narrower, increasing the number of trade signals but potentially decreasing their reliability.
🔶 Take-Profit Levels:
The strategy has four take-profit levels to gradually lock in profits:
- Level 1 (3%): 25% of the position is closed at a 3% profit.
- Level 2 (8%): 20% of the position is closed at an 8% profit.
- Level 3 (14%): 15% of the position is closed at a 14% profit.
- Level 4 (21%): 10% of the position is closed at a 21% profit.
Adjusting these take-profit levels affects how quickly profits are realized:
- Lower take-profit levels: Capture gains more quickly, reducing risk but potentially cutting off larger profits.
- Higher take-profit levels: Let trades run longer, aiming for bigger gains but increasing the risk of price reversals before profits are locked in.
🔶 Hold Days (20 bars):
The strategy automatically closes the position after 20 bars if none of the take-profit levels are hit. This feature prevents trades from being held indefinitely, especially if market conditions are stagnant. Adjusting this:
- Shorter hold periods: Reduce the duration of exposure, minimizing risks from market changes but potentially closing trades too early.
- Longer hold periods: Allow trades to stay open longer, increasing the chance for mean reversion but also increasing exposure to unfavorable market conditions.
By understanding how these default settings affect the strategy’s performance, traders can optimize the Bitcoin CME-Spot Bollinger Bands Strategy to their preferences, adapting it to different market environments and risk tolerances.
Volume Surge Momentum Detector [CHE]Volume Surge Momentum Detector – Discover explosive price movements fueled by sudden volume spikes.
Volume Surge Momentum Detector – Capture Key Inflection Points Using Volume Dynamics
Description:
This indicator helps traders identify highprobability entries by focusing on volume dynamics. Significant price movements often occur when interest in a stock rises, and this is reflected in volume spikes. The Volume Analysis Indicator is designed to detect key inflection points such as breakouts and capitulations by analyzing the relationship between volume and price. It enables traders to avoid false breakouts, identify trend exhaustion, and make informed trading decisions.
Key Features:
VolumeBased Inflection Points: The indicator tracks the volume levels to detect when there is significant interest in a stock. High volume signals increased market participation, often preceding large price moves.
Breakout Detection: It identifies breakouts by detecting price moves beyond a key level (the highest price over a certain period) along with a volume spike, indicating strong momentum.
Capitulation Detection: Capitulation is detected when a strong trend weakens and reverses with increased volume, signaling potential trend exhaustion.
Volume Thresholds: By using statistical measures, the indicator identifies unusually high or low volume based on the average volume and standard deviations, helping traders to spot major turning points in the market.
This tool simplifies volume bar analysis by automatically highlighting significant volume events, which often indicate large upcoming price movements.
Detailed Breakdown:
1. Volume as a Catalyst for Price Movements:
Volume is essential for price action. Without sufficient volume, price moves may not be sustained. This indicator highlights moments of increased market interest by tracking significant volume increases, helping traders stay ahead of major price movements.
2. Breakouts and Capitulation Detection:
Breakout: Detected when the volume exceeds an upper threshold (based on two standard deviations above the average volume) and the price breaks above the highest close of the previous period. These moments are marked with green labels on the chart.
Capitulation: Detected when volume increases significantly but the trend cannot sustain itself, and the price reverses below the lowest close of the previous period. These moments are marked with red labels on the chart, indicating potential trend exhaustion.
3. Sentiment and Market Dynamics:
Market sentiment can lead to price inflections when one side of the market becomes overbought or exhausted. Volume spikes in either direction provide clues as to whether a trend will continue or reverse. This indicator helps identify these critical points by monitoring volume patterns.
4. Visual Representation:
Green Bars: High volume indicating strong market interest or momentum.
Red Bars: Low volume, signaling potential lack of interest or exhaustion.
Gray Bars: Normal volume, helping to distinguish significant market events from regular activity.
Breakout and Capitulation Labels: Green labels for breakouts and red labels for capitulation points are shown directly on the chart for easy reference.
5. Alerts for Key Signals:
Breakout Alert: Notifies traders when a breakout occurs with strong volume, indicating a potential for significant price movement.
Capitulation Alert: Alerts traders when a capitulation occurs, suggesting a trend reversal.
High and Low Volume Alerts: Receive notifications when the volume exceeds the upper or lower thresholds, highlighting key moments of market interest or disinterest.
Why This Indicator Matters:
Traders often miss significant price moves or enter too late. This indicator helps traders by identifying highprobability entry points before the stock makes major moves. By focusing on volume spikes, the indicator provides insight into market sentiment and allows traders to act quickly.
How It Works:
1. Calculate Volume Significance: The indicator calculates the average volume over a userdefined period (`length`) and identifies significant deviations using standard deviations.
2. Mark Key Levels: Breakouts are detected when price moves above recent highs with significant volume, while capitulation is flagged when trends show exhaustion with a volume spike and price reversal.
3. Receive Alerts: Traders can set up alerts for key events like breakouts, capitulations, and significant volume changes to stay informed in realtime.
Perfect For:
Active traders looking to spot early market movements driven by volume changes.
Traders who want to avoid false breakouts by confirming price moves with volume spikes.
Swing traders identifying capitulation points to reduce exposure or enter positions on trend reversals.
How to Use:
Customize the "Average Period" to determine how many bars are used to calculate the average volume.
Adjust the "Multiplier for Standard Deviation" to finetune the sensitivity of high and low volume detection.
Enable alerts to receive realtime notifications for breakouts, capitulations, or volume spikes.
Conclusion:
Volume analysis is essential to understanding stock movements. This indicator simplifies the process of identifying breakouts and capitulation points by using volume dynamics. Whether you are a beginner looking for powerful tools or an experienced trader refining your strategy, this indicator offers valuable insights into market behavior driven by volume.
Additional Insights:
1. Statistical Significance: The use of standard deviations to identify high and low volume gives the indicator a statistical basis, helping to reduce noise and false signals.
2. Flexible Alerts: Traders can set up custom alerts based on their trading preferences, whether they focus on volume changes or price breakouts and reversals.

High/Low Breakout Statistical Analysis StrategyThis Pine Script strategy is designed to assist in the statistical analysis of breakout systems on a monthly, weekly, or daily timeframe. It allows the user to select whether to open a long or short position when the price breaks above or below the respective high or low for the chosen timeframe. The user can also define the holding period for each position in terms of bars.
Core Functionality:
Breakout Logic:
The strategy triggers trades based on price crossing over (for long positions) or crossing under (for short positions) the high or low of the selected period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
Timeframe Selection:
A dropdown menu enables the user to switch between the desired timeframe (monthly, weekly, or daily).
Trade Direction:
Another dropdown allows the user to select the type of trade (long or short) depending on whether the breakout occurs at the high or low of the timeframe.
Holding Period:
Once a trade is opened, it is automatically closed after a user-defined number of bars, making it useful for analyzing how breakout signals perform over short-term periods.
This strategy is intended exclusively for research and statistical purposes rather than real-time trading, helping users to assess the behavior of breakouts over different timeframes.
Relevance of Breakout Systems:
Breakout trading systems, where trades are executed when the price moves beyond a significant price level such as the high or low of a given period, have been extensively studied in financial literature for their potential predictive power.
Momentum and Trend Following:
Breakout strategies are a form of momentum-based trading, exploiting the tendency of prices to continue moving in the direction of a strong initial movement after breaching a critical support or resistance level. According to academic research, momentum strategies, including breakouts, can produce returns above average market returns when applied consistently. For example, Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) demonstrated that stocks that performed well in the past 3-12 months continued to outperform in the subsequent months, suggesting that price continuation patterns, like breakouts, hold value .
Market Efficiency Hypothesis:
While the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) posits that markets are generally efficient, and it is difficult to outperform the market through technical strategies, some studies show that in less liquid markets or during specific times of market stress, breakout systems can capitalize on temporary inefficiencies. Taylor (2005) and other researchers have found instances where breakout systems can outperform the market under certain conditions.
Volatility and Breakouts:
Breakouts are often linked to periods of increased volatility, which can generate trading opportunities. Coval and Shumway (2001) found that periods of heightened volatility can make breakouts more significant, increasing the likelihood that price trends will follow the breakout direction. This correlation between volatility and breakout reliability makes it essential to study breakouts across different timeframes to assess their potential profitability .
In summary, this breakout strategy offers an empirical way to study price behavior around key support and resistance levels. It is useful for researchers and traders aiming to statistically evaluate the effectiveness and consistency of breakout signals across different timeframes, contributing to broader research on momentum and market behavior.

Custom Pattern DetectionOverview
Chart Patterns is a major tool for many traders. Pattern formation at specific location on the chart is used for investment/trading decisions.
This indicator is designed in a way to allow investors/traders to define patterns of their choice based on certain input parameters and then detect defined pattern on the chart.
Investors/traders can use their own creativity to create and detect patterns.
This indicator works in 2 modes
Create Pattern: One can define a pattern and verify sample pattern formation visually
Detect Pattern: Detect and mark patterns on the chart
Settings
Create Custom Pattern:
Show Custom Pattern – This will mark the pattern lines on the chart so that one can verify how pattern appears based on the input’s parameters provided for lines XA, AB, BC, CD, DE, EF
Offset – Used while pattern creation. Offset is horizonal distance between 2 lines.
XA Points – Used to draw XA line when sample pattern is drawn. XA points can be a negative or position number.
XA line is drawn based on Offset and XA Points. E.g. Offset = 5 and XA Points = -20. In this line would be drawn from last candle high to high – 20 (these are y1 and y2 points of a line). While drawing line distance of 5 candles would be placed between 2 line points (these are x1 and x2 points of a line). In XA line X forms start point and A forms end point of the line.
Line AB – Line AB is drawn from point X. To derive the end point of AB, average Fib% is derived based on From Fib% and To Fib% parameters. Finally end point is derived by applying Fib Retracement on Line XA based on average Fib%.
Line AB to Line EF – These points are derived as explained in Line AB.
The indicator can be used to define/create patterns up to 6 legs/lines. The line would be named as XA -> AB -> BC -> CD -> DE -> EF.
If one wish to create pattern consisting 3 legs then it can be achieved by unchecking/deselecting Line CD, DE and EF or by checking only Line AB and BC.
Based on the parameters above indicator draws a sample pattern after last candle/bar on the chart. Sample pattern helps to visually see how pattern will appear on the chart.
Pattern Identification
Indicator derive the swing high/low points based on the Pivot lookback and use as reference points while detecting patterns.
Use of From Fib% and To Fib% - While detecting pattern, retracement price points are derived for From Fib% and To Fib%. Price points between from Fib% and To Fib% are treated as valid retracement points.

Strength/Weakness IndicatorThe Strength/Weakness Indicator is a customisable tool designed to help traders identify key areas of market strength and weakness based on the 50% Fibonacci retracement level .
█ Underlying Concept:
The concept behind this indicator draws heavily on the principles of Fibonacci retracement and WD Gann’s market theories , particularly the importance of the 50% level in signalling critical psychological areas of support and resistance. Historically, the 50% retracement level has been regarded as a key marker where markets either find new buyers/sellers or continue a trend. Gann himself placed significant emphasis on the halfway point of a previous market move as a critical level for market strength and reversal.
Strength : When an asset is trading above the 50% retracement level, it suggests that buyers are in control and that the market is showing strength. This is particularly useful for traders aiming to ride the continuation of an uptrend.
Weakness : Conversely, when the price falls below the 50% retracement level, it indicates that sellers are dominating, and the market is showing signs of weakness. This can be an early indication of a potential reversal or further decline.
█ Key Features:
1 — Multi-Timeframe Fibonacci Analysis :
This indicator supports up to two distinct retracement levels, allowing traders to analyse multiple timeframes simultaneously. Customise the look-back periods for each level to track the highest high and lowest low over your chosen period.
The tool is adaptable to short-term, swing trading, and long-term investing, making it useful across different trading styles.
2 — Dynamic Strength/Weakness Labelling :
The script dynamically calculates and displays whether the asset is “STRONG” or “WEAK” based on its position relative to the 50% retracement levels. If the price is above both levels, it is considered "VERY STRONG." Conversely, trading below both levels signals "VERY WEAK" conditions. This real-time feedback helps traders gauge market sentiment with ease.
3 — Customizable Visual Representation :
Both retracement levels are fully customisable, including line colours, styles, and thicknesses. The script offers custom background fills—highlighting areas of strength (green) and weakness (red)—to provide a clear visual aid for identifying key price zones.
Traders can modify the appearance of text labels (size, colour, position) and choose whether to extend lines left, right, both directions, or not at all.
4 — Cross-Timeframe Validation :
Traders can cross-reference price action between two timeframes to confirm trends. If both levels signal strength or weakness, it validates market momentum, increasing confidence in trade decisions.
5 — Strategic Decision-Making Aid :
The indicator aids in identifying support and resistance zones based on the 50% retracement level. Use it to time entries and exits effectively: price above the 50% level suggests potential trend continuation, while falling below may indicate reversal.
█ How It Works:
1 — Defining Custom Timeframes :
The trader selects custom time periods (days, weeks, months, or years) to calculate the highest high and lowest low, allowing precise control over the analysis.
2 — Calculating Strength/Weakness :
Once the 50% retracement level is calculated, the price’s position relative to it determines the market’s condition. Above 50% signals strength, below signals weakness.
3 — Comparing Multiple Timeframes :
Enable a second retracement level to compare different time periods. This feature is useful for spotting divergences between short-term and long-term trends or validating strength across timeframes.
█ How to Use:
1 — Assess Market Conditions :
If price trades above both 50% retracement levels, it indicates strong bullish momentum. Conversely, trading below both levels signals bearish conditions.
2 — Plan Entries/Exits :
Use the 50% level as a reference for support and resistance. Plan to enter when the price bounces off the 50% level, or exit if it breaks down below this critical level.
3 — Cross-Timeframe Analysis :
Validate the market trend by comparing retracement levels across different timeframes. This helps in confirming whether the trend is strong enough to justify holding a position.
█ Why This Indicator is Unique:
Comprehensive Multi-Timeframe Analysis : While most Fibonacci indicators focus on a single period, this tool provides a deeper understanding by allowing traders to compare price action across multiple timeframes.
Customizable and Dynamic : The real-time strength/weakness labeling, customizable background fills, and the ability to analyze two retracement levels simultaneously make this tool adaptable to any trading strategy.
Valuable for All Traders : Whether you are day trading, swing trading, or investing long-term, the Strength/Weakness Indicator offers clarity on key market levels and sentiment, improving decision-making for entries and exits.
Disclaimer : This script is for educational purposes and is not financial advice. Trading involves significant risk, so please consult a professional advisor before making investment decisions. For the best results, use this indicator alongside other technical analysis methods like trend lines or moving averages to help you confirm signals and make more informed decisions.

Prometheus Auto Optimizing SaberThis indicator is a tool that uses prior ranges to determine the directional trend of the market. The process is along the lines of a volatility estimate to determine relative strength.
Calculation:
Square rooting the highest high and lowest low, helps it be easier to work with if there are extreme values. Then we normalize it by subtracting it by the range of the current bar. Next, we get bands for the value. The highest high plus that value, v, and the lowest low minus v.
Next we get that average, then smooth it so we can view it nicely.
Now for the Auto Optimizing part in the title. Instead of trying different lookback values for different tickers and timeframes. Prometheus uses a Sum of Squared Errors, SSE, calculation to determine which price would most closely represent the current price. This gives us a dynamic value to use as the lookback. There is no guarantee this is the best value to use for a given point in time.
hh = ta.highest(high, N_opt)
ll = ta.lowest(low, N_opt)
v = math.sqrt(hh - ll) / (high - low)
vu = hh + v
vd = ll - v
vma = ta.sma((vu + vd) / 2, N_opt)
The user is able to use a custom lookback value if they please.
Chart examples.
Here on the NASDAQ:QQQ daily chart we see the Saber colored in blue when it is a bullish scenario, characterized by close being above the Saber , and when it is below it is red, for bearish.
This Saber is quite resistant to large moves, until the range widens quickly. This example shows that.
We see on the NYSE:PLTR daily chart, the earnings candle in the white box shows that. The Saber is resistant to change until things get fast. After the trend switches bullish from the earnings candle, it stays bullish regardless of the last drawdown.
Intra Day example:
The range here is quite wide and the moves are well spread apart from wide trends, slow moves, and pops. The Saber acts in a way to provide an aid identifying the direction of the moves.
We encourage traders to not follow indicators blindly, none are 100% accurate. SSE does not guarantee that the values generated will be the best for a given moment in time. Please comment on any desired updates, all criticism is welcome!
Simultaneous INSIDE Bar Break IndicatorSimultaneous Inside Bar Break Indicator (SIBBI) for The Strat Community
Overview:
The Simultaneous Inside Bar Break Indicator (SIBBI) is designed to help traders using The Strat methodology identify one of the most powerful breakout patterns: the Simultaneous Inside Bar Break across multiple symbols. This indicator detects when all four user-selected symbols form inside bars on the previous candle and then break those inside bars in the same direction (either bullish or bearish) on the current candle.
Inside bars represent consolidation periods where price action does not break the high or low of the previous candle. When a simultaneous break occurs across multiple symbols, this often signals a strong move in the market, making this a key actionable signal in The Strat trading strategy.
Key Features:
Multi-Symbol Analysis: You can track up to four different symbols simultaneously. By default, the indicator comes with SPY, QQQ, IWM, and DIA, but you can modify these to track any other assets or symbols.
Inside Bar Detection: The indicator checks whether all four symbols have inside bars on the previous candle. It only triggers when all symbols meet this condition, making it a highly specific and reliable signal.
Simultaneous Break Detection: Once all symbols have inside bars, the indicator waits for a breakout in the same direction across all four symbols. A simultaneous bullish break (prices breaking above the previous candle’s high) triggers a green label, while a simultaneous bearish break (prices breaking below the previous candle’s low) triggers a red label.
Dynamic Label Timeframe: The indicator dynamically adjusts the timeframe in the label based on the user’s selected timeframe. This allows traders to know precisely which timeframe the break is occurring on. If the user selects "Chart Timeframe," the indicator will evolve with the current chart's timeframe, making it more versatile.
Timeframe Flexibility: The indicator can be set to analyze any timeframe—15-minute, 30-minute, 60-minute, daily, weekly, and so on. It only works for the specific timeframe you set it to in the settings. If set to "Chart Timeframe," the label will adapt dynamically based on the timeframe you are currently viewing.
Customizable Labels: The user can choose the size of the labels (tiny, small, or normal), ensuring that the visual output is tailored to individual preferences and chart layouts.
Best Use Case:
The Simultaneous Inside Bar Break Indicator is particularly powerful when applied to multiple timeframes. Here’s how to use it for maximum impact:
Multi-Timeframe Setup: Set the indicator on various timeframes (e.g., 15-minute, 30-minute, 60-minute, and daily) across multiple charts. This allows you to monitor different timeframes and identify when lower timeframe breaks trigger potential moves on higher timeframes.
Anticipating Strong Moves: When a simultaneous inside bar break occurs on one timeframe (e.g., 30-minute), keep an eye on the higher timeframes (e.g., 60-minute or daily) to see if those timeframes also break. This stacking of inside bar breaks can signal powerful market moves.
Higher Conviction Signals: The indicator is designed to provide high-conviction signals. Since it requires all four symbols to break in the same direction simultaneously, it reduces false signals and focuses on higher probability setups, which is crucial for traders using The Strat to time their trades effectively.
How the Indicator Works:
Inside Bar Formation: The indicator first checks that all four selected symbols had inside bars in the previous bar (i.e., the current high and low are contained within the previous bar’s high and low).
Simultaneous Break Detection: After detecting inside bars, the indicator checks if all four symbols break out in the same direction—bullish (breaking above the previous bar’s high) or bearish (breaking below the previous bar’s low).
Label Display: When a simultaneous inside bar break occurs, a label is plotted on the chart—either green for a bullish break (below the candle) or red for a bearish break (above the candle). The label will display the timeframe you set in the settings (e.g., "IBSB 60" for a 60-minute break).
Chart Timeframe Option: If you prefer, you can set the indicator to evolve with the chart’s current timeframe. In this mode, the label will not show a specific timeframe but will still display the simultaneous inside bar break when it occurs.
Recommendations for Usage:
Focus on Multiple Timeframes: The Strat methodology is all about understanding the relationship between different timeframes. Use this indicator on multiple timeframes to get a better picture of potential moves.
Pair with Other Strat Techniques: This indicator is most powerful when combined with other Strat tools, such as broadening formations, timeframe continuity, and actionable signals (e.g., 2-2 reversals). The simultaneous inside bar break can help confirm or invalidate other signals.
Customize Symbols and Timeframes: Although the default symbols are SPY, QQQ, IWM, and DIA, feel free to replace them with symbols more relevant to your trading. This indicator works well across equities, indices, futures, and forex pairs.
How to Set It Up:
Select Symbols: Choose four symbols that you want to track. These can be index ETFs (like SPY and QQQ), individual stocks, or any other tradable instruments.
Set Timeframe: In the indicator’s settings, choose a specific timeframe (e.g., 15-minute, 30-minute, daily). The label will reflect the selected timeframe, making it clear which time-based break you are seeing.
Optional - Chart Timeframe Mode: If you want the indicator to adapt to the chart’s current timeframe, select the "Chart Timeframe" option in the settings. The indicator will plot the breaks without showing a specific timeframe in the label.
Customize Label Size: Depending on your chart layout and personal preference, you can adjust the size of the labels (tiny, small, or normal) in the settings.
Conclusion:
The Simultaneous Inside Bar Break Indicator is a powerful tool for traders using The Strat methodology, offering a highly specific and reliable signal that can indicate potential large market moves. By monitoring multiple symbols and timeframes, you can gain deeper insight into the market's behavior and act with greater confidence. This indicator is ideal for traders looking to catch high-conviction moves and align their trades with broader market continuity.
Note: The indicator works best when paired with multi-timeframe analysis, allowing you to see how breaks on lower timeframes might influence larger trends. For traders who prefer simplicity, setting it to the "Chart Timeframe" mode offers flexibility while maintaining the core benefits of this indicator.

Breakout LevelsBreakout Levels Indicator
The Breakout Levels indicator is a tool designed to help traders identify potential breakout points based on a specified time range and market volatility. By combining user-defined time frames with Average True Range (ATR) calculations, it provides actionable entry and stop-loss levels for both upward and downward breakouts. Additionally, it includes risk management features to calculate appropriate position sizes based on your account capital and risk tolerance.
Key Features
Custom Time Range Selection: Define a specific period during which the indicator calculates the highest high and lowest low to establish breakout levels.
ATR-Based Calculations: Use the ATR to adjust entry and stop-loss levels according to market volatility.
Risk Management: Automatically calculate position sizes based on your account capital and desired risk per trade.
Indicator Inputs
Start Time : The beginning of the time range for calculating the highest high and lowest low.
End Time : The end of the time range.
Entry Multiplier: A factor that determines how far the entry level is from the breakout level, scaled by the ATR.

TechniTrend: Strong Candles DetectorTechniTrend: Strong Candles Detector
Description:
The TechniTrend: Strong Candles Detector indicator is designed to identify strong candlestick patterns based on customizable thresholds of candle strength, volume, and price volatility. By detecting significant candles that have a high proportion of body relative to total range, the indicator helps traders identify potential shifts in market direction, making it a useful tool for trend analysis and reversal spotting.
Key Features:
Candle Strength Detection: The indicator calculates the strength of a candle based on the ratio of its body (difference between open and close) to its total range (high minus low). If the body size exceeds a user-defined threshold, the candle is flagged as strong. This helps traders quickly identify key candles that may signal market movements.
Volume Confirmation (Optional): An optional volume confirmation allows the indicator to only flag candles as "strong" if the trading volume during the candle exceeds the average volume over a customizable period. This can help validate that a candle’s movement is backed by significant market participation.
Volatility Body Confirmation (Optional): Users can further refine the detection by requiring that the body of a strong candle exceed the average body size (volatility) of previous candles. This ensures that candles with greater price movement are prioritized.
Customizable Inputs:
Strength Threshold: Defines the minimum ratio of body to total range for a candle to be considered strong.
Moving Average Type: Choose from SMA, EMA, or WMA for calculating the moving average of volume or body volatility.
Volume and Body Confirmation: Adjust the percentage thresholds for the difference between the current volume/body size and their average values.
Visual Alerts: The indicator marks strong bullish candles with green upward labels below the candle, and strong bearish candles with red downward labels above the candle. Additionally, strong candles can be highlighted with a customizable background color for easier visualization.
How It Works:
Strength Ratio:
The core of this indicator is the calculation of the strength ratio, which is defined as the body size (open-close) divided by the total range (high-low). If the body size is larger relative to the total range and exceeds the user-defined threshold, the candle is flagged as strong.
Volume and Volatility Confirmation:
For traders seeking additional confirmation, the indicator can be configured to only mark candles if the current volume or body volatility exceeds the average by a user-defined percentage. These confirmations can be toggled on or off to suit different trading strategies.
Customization Options:
Strength Threshold (0-1):
Sets the minimum strength required for a candle to be flagged. A higher value will result in fewer but more significant candles being marked.
Volume Confirmation:
Toggle on to require a higher volume compared to the average volume for a candle to be confirmed as strong.
Volatility Body Confirmation:
Toggle on to require a larger candle body compared to the average body size for further confirmation.
Candle Color:
Choose the background color used to highlight strong candles.
Recommended Settings:
Strength Threshold: 0.7 (for a good balance between body and range)
Volume Difference: 0.05 (5% above the average volume)
Body Volatility Difference: 0.05 (5% above the average body size)
Length: 14 (for volume and volatility moving averages)
Conclusion: The TechniTrend: Strong Candles Detector is an easy-to-use yet powerful tool for traders who want to identify key candles that signal potential market trends. Its customizable settings allow for fine-tuning to fit different trading styles, whether looking for high-volume breakouts or significant price movements. The indicator offers both a visual and configurable alert system to help traders make more informed decisions.
