APEX TREND: Macro & Hard Stop SystemAPEX TREND: Macro & Hard Stop System
The APEX TREND System is a composite trend-following strategy engineered to solve the "Whipsaw" problem inherent in standard breakout systems. It orchestrates four distinct technical theories—Macro Trend Filtering, Volatility Squeeze, Momentum, and Volatility Stop-Loss—into a single, hierarchical decision-making engine.
This script is not merely a collection of indicators; it is a rules-based trading system designed for Swing Traders (Day/Week timeframes) who aim to capture major trend extensions while strictly managing downside risk through a "Hard Stop" mechanism.
🧠 Underlying Concepts & Originality
Many trend indicators fail because they treat all price movements equally. The APEX TREND differentiates itself by applying an "Institutional Filter" logic derived from classic Dow Theory and Modern Volatility Analysis.
1. The Macro Hard Stop (The 200 EMA Logic)
Origin: Based on the institutional mandate that “Nothing good happens below the 200-day moving average.”
Function: Unlike standard super trends that flip constantly in sideways markets, this system integrates a 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as a non-negotiable "Hard Stop."
Synergy: This acts as the primary gatekeeper. Even if the volatility engine signals a "Buy," the system suppresses the signal if the price is below the Macro Baseline, effectively filtering out counter-trend traps.
2. The Volatility Engine (Squeeze Theory)
Origin: Derived from John Carter’s TTM Squeeze concept.
Function: The script identifies periods where Bollinger Bands (Standard Deviation) contract inside Keltner Channels (ATR). This indicates a period of potential energy build-up.
Synergy: The system only triggers an entry when this energy is released (Breakout) AND coincides with Linear Regression Momentum, ensuring the breakout is genuine.
3. Anti-Chop Filter (ADX Integration)
Origin: J. Welles Wilder’s Directional Movement Theory.
Function: A common failure point for trend systems is low-volatility chop. This script utilizes the Average Directional Index (ADX).
Synergy: If the ADX is below the threshold (Default: 20), the market is deemed "Choppy." The script visually represents this by painting candles GRAY, signaling a "No-Trade Zone" regardless of price action.
4. The "Run Trend" Stop Loss (Factor 4.0 ATR)
Origin: Adapted from the Turtle Trading rules regarding volatility-based stops.
Function: Standard Trailing Stops (usually Factor 3.0) are too tight for crypto or volatile equities on daily timeframes.
Optimization: This system employs a wider ATR Multiplier of 4.0. This allows the asset to fluctuate naturally within a trend without triggering a premature exit, maximizing the "Run Trend" potential.
🛠 How It Works (The Algorithm)
The script processes data in a specific order to generate a signal:
Check Macro Trend: Is Price > EMA 200? (If No, Longs are disabled).
Check Volatility: Is ADX > 20? (If No, all signals are disabled).
Check Volume: Is Current Volume > 1.2x Average Volume? (Confirmation of institutional participation).
Trigger: Has a Volatility Breakout occurred in the direction of the Macro Trend?
Execution: If ALL above are true -> Generate Signal.
🎯 Strategy Guide
1. Long Setup (Bullish)
Signal: Look for the Green "APEX LONG" Label.
Condition: The price must be ABOVE the White Line (EMA 200).
Execution: Enter at the close of the signal candle.
Stop Loss: Initial stop at the Green Trailing Line.
2. Short Setup (Bearish)
Signal: Look for the Red "APEX SHORT" Label.
Condition: The price must be BELOW the White Line (EMA 200).
Execution: Enter at the close of the signal candle.
Stop Loss: Initial stop at the Red Trailing Line.
3. Exit Rules (Crucial)
This system employs a Dual-Exit Mechanism:
Soft Exit (Profit Taking): Close the position if the price crosses the Trailing Stop Line (Green/Red line). This locks in profits during a trend reversal.
Hard Exit (Emergency): Close the position IMMEDIATELY if the price crosses the White EMA 200 Line against your trade. This prevents holding a position during a major market regime change.
⚙️ Settings
Momentum Engine: Adjust Bollinger Band/Keltner Channel lengths to tune breakout sensitivity.
Apex Filters: Toggle the EMA 200 or ADX filters on/off to adapt to different asset classes.
Risk Management: The ATR Multiplier (Default 4.0) controls the width of the trailing stop. Lower values = Tighter stops (Scalping); Higher values = Looser stops (Swing).

DarkPool's Squeeze Momentum @author LazyBearDarkPool's Squeeze Momentum Pro is a comprehensive overhaul of the classic volatility indicator, designed for the modern trader who requires deeper market insight. While staying true to the core logic of the original TTM Squeeze, this version introduces advanced features like automatic divergence detection, dynamic moving average selection, and main-chart integration to help you time entries and exits with precision.
Credit: This script is built upon the foundational "Squeeze Momentum Indicator" originally developed by LazyBear. This version expands on that legacy with enhanced visualization, alert systems, and divergence logic.
Key Features
1. Advanced Divergence Detection
The indicator automatically scans for Regular Bullish and Regular Bearish divergences between price action and momentum.
Bullish Divergence (Green "BULL" Label): Occurs when Price makes a Lower Low, but Momentum makes a Higher Low. This often precedes a bullish reversal.
Bearish Divergence (Red "BEAR" Label): Occurs when Price makes a Higher High, but Momentum makes a Lower High. This often precedes a bearish reversal.
2. Multi-Mode Squeeze Detection
The central dots on the zero line tell you the state of market volatility:
Red Dot (Squeeze ON): Volatility is compressed. The Bollinger Bands are inside the Keltner Channels. The market is "coiling" and preparing for an explosive move. Do not trade yet—wait for the fire.
Grey Dot (Squeeze OFF): The squeeze has "fired." Volatility is expanding, and price is moving.
Blue Dot (Wide Bands): Volatility is extremely high. The bands are exceptionally wide, often indicating the end of a trend or a period of high risk.
3. "Ghost" Histogram & Visual Depth
The momentum histogram features a "Ghost" fill (transparent background) to help visualize the volume of momentum without cluttering the screen.
Bright Green: Strong Bullish Momentum (Rising).
Dark Green: Weakening Bullish Momentum (Fading).
Bright Red: Strong Bearish Momentum (Falling).
Dark Red: Weakening Bearish Momentum (Recovering).
4. Dynamic Candle Coloring
Enabled by default, this feature colors the candles on your main chart to match the momentum histogram. This allows you to instantly gauge the trend strength without looking down at the oscillator pane.
5. Adaptive Calculation Engines
Unlike standard versions fixed to SMA, you can now select the moving average algorithm that drives the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels:
SMA: Standard, stable signals.
EMA: More reactive to recent price action.
WMA/RMA: Weighted options for specific strategies.
🛠 How to Operate
The "Squeeze & Fire" Strategy
Identify the Squeeze: Look for a series of Red Dots on the zero line. This indicates the market is resting and building energy.
The Trigger: Wait for the dot to turn Gray AND for the histogram to expand clearly in one direction.
Long Signal: Squeeze fires (Red -> Gray) + Histogram turns Green.
Short Signal: Squeeze fires (Red -> Gray) + Histogram turns Red.
The "Divergence Reversal" Strategy
Watch for "BULL" or "BEAR" labels appearing near the peaks or valleys of the histogram.
Confirmation: A divergence is a warning. Wait for the histogram color to change (e.g., from Bright Red to Dark Red) before entering a reversal trade.
⚙️ Settings Guide
Basis MA Type: Choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, or RMA to tune the sensitivity of the squeeze.
BB/KC Settings: Fully customizable Length and Multipliers to adapt to different assets (Crypto, Forex, or Stocks).
Pivot Lookback: Controls how strict the divergence detection is. Higher numbers = fewer, more significant signals.
Colour Main Chart Candles: Toggle this OFF if you prefer your standard candle colours.

LA - EMA Bands with MTF DashboardDetailed Explanation of the LA - EMA Bands with MTF Dashboard Indicator
This custom Pine Script v6 indicator, designed for Trading View, overlays EMA-based price channels on the chart while incorporating a multi-timeframe (MTF) dashboard for broader market context. It focuses on visualizing trend direction and momentum through three sets of EMA bands, each representing different time horizons, and extends this with a tabular dashboard that summarizes signals across user-selected timeframes. The bands help identify support, resistance, and trend shifts, while the dashboard provides at-a-glance alignment across multiple periods, aiding in confirming trades or spotting divergences. Unlike volatility-based channels (e.g., Bollinger or Keltner), it relies solely on EMAs for simplicity and lag-reduced responsiveness.
Inputs Section
The script begins with user-configurable options grouped for ease. A timeframe input allows specifying a resolution for the EMA bands' data fetching, defaulting to the chart's timeframe if left empty—this enables higher-timeframe overlays on lower charts for context.
Next, a shared source input defines the price data for all midlines, defaulting to the midpoint of high and low (hl2) but customizable to close, open, or others.
The EMA bands have dedicated toggles and length inputs for each of the three sets: the first (long-term) defaults to 144 periods, the second (medium-term) to 72, and the third (short-term) to 12. These are inlined for compact settings panels, with minimum lengths of 1 to prevent errors.
A boolean toggle controls the visibility of the MTF dashboard. Following this are nine pairs of inputs for dashboard timeframes: each pair includes a show/hide toggle and an editable timeframe string (e.g., '1' for 1-minute, 'D' for daily). Defaults progress from short (1, 3, 5 minutes) to longer (15, 30, 60 minutes, daily, weekly, monthly), grouped in inlines for organization. Only enabled and non-empty timeframes appear in the dashboard.
Helpers Section
Two utility functions are defined here. The first computes an EMA on any source series over a specified length using Trading View's built-in function, reused throughout for midlines and bands.
The second function generates a signal string ("B" for buy/bullish, "S" for sell/bearish, or "-" for neutral) based on the direction of an EMA applied to high prices. It compares the current EMA value to the previous one, mirroring the band fill logic for consistency in the dashboard.
Core Components per Band Set:
Midline: An EMA calculated on a user-selectable source price (default: hl2, which is the midpoint between high and low prices). This acts as the central trend line.
Upper Band: An EMA applied directly to the high prices of each bar.
Lower Band: An EMA applied to the low prices of each bar.
These form a channel that captures the smoothed range of price action, highlighting potential support (lower band), resistance (upper band), and overall trend direction (midline).
Multiple Band Sets: The indicator includes three independent EMA band sets, each with its own length parameter for customization:
EMA1 (default length: 144) – Focuses on long-term trends.
EMA2 (default length: 72) – Targets medium-term trends.
EMA3 (default length: 12) – Emphasizes short-term momentum.
Each set can be toggled on or off via input checkboxes, allowing users to reduce chart clutter if needed.
Visual Elements:
Midline Plot: Displayed as a line colored based on its direction compared to the previous bar: green for rising (bullish), red for falling (bearish), and black for neutral (flat).
Band Fill: The area between the upper and lower bands is filled with a semi-transparent color indicating the trend of the upper band: light green for rising (suggesting expanding highs/upward momentum) and light pink for falling (contracting highs/downward pressure). The bands themselves are plotted in blue with a thin linewidth.
Multi-Timeframe Support: Users can input a custom timeframe (e.g., 'D' for daily), and the indicator fetches data from that resolution. This enables higher-timeframe context on lower-timeframe charts, such as viewing daily EMA bands on a 1-hour chart.
Calculation Mechanics:
All EMAs are computed using Trading View's built-in ta.ema() function.
Data is retrieved in a single request.security() call for efficiency, with lookahead enabled to avoid repainting.
No multipliers or volatility adjustments are included, making it a simple EMA-based envelope rather than a true volatility channel.
In practice, this indicator helps traders identify trend strength, potential breakouts (price crossing bands), or mean-reversion opportunities (price bouncing within bands). It's particularly useful for swing or position trading where multi-period alignment (e.g., all midlines green) signals conviction.
Pros
Multi-Period Insight: By combining short (12), medium (72), and long (144) periods, it offers a layered view of trends across time horizons, helping confirm alignments or divergences without needing multiple separate indicators.
Visual Clarity: Color-coded trends and fills make it easy to spot bullish/bearish shifts at a glance, reducing analysis time.
Flexibility: Custom timeframe input allows for multi-timeframe analysis, while shared source and toggles provide user control.
Simplicity and Efficiency: Purely EMA-based, it's computationally light and avoids overcomplication, making it accessible for beginners while still useful for spotting channel-based setups like squeezes or expansions.
No Repainting: With lookahead, plots are stable once bars close.
Cons
Lagging Nature: EMAs inherently lag price action, especially longer ones like 144-period, which may cause delayed signals in fast-moving or ranging markets.
Lack of Volatility Adjustment: Unlike Keltner Channels or Bollinger Bands, it doesn't incorporate ATR or standard deviation, so bands may not accurately reflect true volatility—potentially leading to false breakouts in high-volatility environments.
Chart Clutter: Displaying all three band sets simultaneously can overcrowd the chart, particularly on lower timeframes or volatile assets.
Subjective Interpretation: Color changes and band interactions require trader discretion; there's no built-in alerting or quantitative signals, which might lead to inconsistent results.
Market Dependency: Defaults may not suit all assets (e.g., stocks vs. crypto); shorter periods like 12 could whipsaw in noisy markets, while 144 might be too slow for intraday trading.
Justification for Default Values (12, 72, and 144)
The default lengths of 12, 72, and 144 are not arbitrary but draw from established trading principles, particularly W.D. Gann's geometric and numerical theories, as well as Fibonacci sequences, to create a harmonic progression for short-, medium-, and long-term analysis. Here's the rationale:
12 (Short-Term): This is a common period for capturing recent momentum in technical indicators, often seen in setups like the MACD (which uses 12- and 26-day EMAs). It aligns with natural cycles, such as the 12 months in a year, and in Gann theory, 12 serves as a base unit for squaring price and time (e.g., in the "Square of 12" where multiples like 12, 24, etc., measure cycles in days, weeks, or months). At 12 periods, the EMA reacts quickly to price changes without excessive noise, making it ideal for short-term trend detection.
72 (Medium-Term): This acts as an intermediate bridge, derived from Gann's divisions of the 360-degree circle (a key Gann concept representing a full cycle). Specifically, 72 is 360/5 (relating to pentagonal geometry and natural harmonics) and appears in Gann's time cycle measurements (e.g., as a multiple in the Square of 12: 12×6=72). It's roughly half of 144, providing a balanced midpoint for medium-term trends without overlapping too closely with the others. In practice, 72 periods smooth out short-term fluctuations while still responding to developing trends.
144 (Long-Term): This is a powerhouse number in trading lore, being both 12 squared (12×12=144, central to Gann's "Square of 144" for monthly charts and major cycle turns, as there are 12 months in a year) and a Fibonacci sequence value (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144...). Fibonacci periods are popular in moving averages for their alignment with natural growth patterns in markets, and 144 is often used for long-term regime definition (e.g., confirming trends over 144 bars). It helps identify major support/resistance in extended cycles.
Overall, these values form a geometric/harmonic series (12, 72=12×6, 144=12×12), promoting alignment with market cycles as per Gann and Fibonacci principles, rather than generic lengths like 50 or 200. They can be adjusted based on the asset or timeframe, but the defaults provide a starting point rooted in time-tested trading numerology for balanced multi-period analysis.
Please use this along with other indicators (eg. Pivot, MACD, etc) for better results.
FU + SMI Validator (Proper FU, 30m)Overview
The FU + SMI Validator is a sophisticated technical analysis indicator designed to detect Proper FU (Fakeouts or Liquidity Sweeps) on the 30-minute timeframe. This tool aims to help traders identify high-probability reversal setups that occur when price briefly breaks key levels (sweeping liquidity), then reverses with momentum confirmation.
Fakeouts are common market events where price action “hunts stops” before reversing direction. Correctly identifying these events can offer excellent entry points with defined risk. This indicator combines price action logic with momentum and volatility filters to provide reliable signals.
Core Concepts
Proper FU (Fakeout) Detection
At its core, the script identifies proper fakeouts by checking if the current bar’s price:
For bullish fakeouts: dips below the previous bar’s low (sweeping stops) and then closes above the previous bar’s high
For bearish fakeouts: spikes above the previous bar’s high and then closes below the previous bar’s low
This ensures that the breakout is a true sweep rather than just a one-sided close.
Optionally, the script can require one additional confirmation bar after the FU, ensuring that the momentum is sustained and reducing false signals.
SMI-style Momentum Validation
To improve the quality of signals, the indicator uses a proxy for the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) by calculating the difference between current and past linear regression slopes of price. This momentum check helps ensure that fakeouts occur alongside actual directional strength.
Key points:
Momentum must be increasing in the direction of the FU signal.
Momentum filters can be enabled or disabled based on user preference.
Squeeze Condition to Avoid Low-Volatility Traps
The script includes a volatility filter based on a squeeze-like condition:
It compares Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC).
When BB bands contract inside KC bands, the market is in a squeeze state, signaling low volatility.
Fakeouts during squeeze conditions are often unreliable; the script can filter these out to reduce false alarms.
Killzone Session Timing Filter
Recognizing that liquidity and volatility vary by session, this tool supports optional filtering for:
London Killzone: 09:00 to 10:30 (UK time)
New York Killzone: 13:00 to 14:30 (UK time)
Signals only trigger during these high-activity windows if enabled, helping traders focus on periods with the best liquidity and market participation.
Note: For Killzone filtering to work accurately, your TradingView chart must be set to the UK timezone.
Features & Benefits
Robust FU detection ensures the breakout price action is meaningful, reducing noise.
Momentum filter via linear regression slope captures trend strength in a smooth, mathematically sound way.
Low-volatility squeeze avoidance helps reduce false signals in choppy or range-bound markets.
Killzone timing filter focuses your attention on the most liquid and active market hours.
Optional confirmation bar increases signal reliability.
Raw FU markers allow visualization of all detected fakeouts for pattern recognition and manual analysis.
Alerts built-in for both valid buy and sell FU setups, enabling real-time notification and quicker decision-making.
Customization Options
Killzone usage: Enable or disable the session timing filter.
Sessions: Configure London and New York killzone time ranges.
Momentum alignment: Enable or disable momentum filter based on SMI proxy.
Volatility filter: Avoid signals during squeeze or low-volatility conditions.
FU confirmation: Option to require one additional confirming candle after the initial FU.
Squeeze and momentum parameters: Adjust Bollinger Bands length and multiplier, Keltner Channel length and ATR multiplier.
Raw FU markers: Show or hide all detected fakeouts regardless of filters.
How to Use This Indicator
Apply to 30-minute charts for forex pairs, indices, cryptocurrencies, or other instruments.
Set your chart timezone to UK time if using Killzone filters.
Adjust input parameters based on your preferred sessions and risk tolerance.
Look for green “VALID BUY FU” labels below bars for bullish fakeout entries.
Look for red “VALID SELL FU” labels above bars for bearish fakeout entries.
Use the alert system to receive notifications on setups.
Combine with your existing analysis or risk management strategy for entries, stops, and profit targets.
Why Use FU + SMI Validator?
Fakeouts are some of the most lucrative but tricky setups for many traders. Without proper filters, they can lead to false entries and losses. This script integrates price action, momentum, volatility, and session timing into one package, providing a robust tool to spot high-quality fakeout opportunities and improve trading confidence.
Limitations
Requires chart to be set to UK timezone for session filters.
Designed specifically for 30-minute timeframe — performance on other timeframes may vary.
Momentum is a proxy, not a direct SMI calculation.
Like all indicators, best used in conjunction with sound risk management and other analysis tools.
Potential Enhancements
Conversion into a full strategy script for backtesting entries and exits.
Addition of other momentum indicators (RSI, MACD) or volume filters.
Customizable time zones or auto time zone detection.
Multi-timeframe analysis capabilities.
Visual dashboard for summary of signal stats.
BB KC Triangle SignalsBased on Trader Oracle's engulfing candle off Bolinger Band.
I added keltner channels as well. So this prints a symbol ( I use triangles) over the engulfing candle at or near the bolinger band/ keltner channel. Don't have to have the bands printed on the screen for them to work. Seems to work on renko too.
Mutanabby_AI __ OSC+ST+SQZMOMMutanabby_AI OSC+ST+SQZMOM: Multi-Component Trading Analysis Tool
Overview
The Mutanabby_AI OSC+ST+SQZMOM indicator combines three proven technical analysis components into a unified trading system, providing comprehensive market analysis through integrated oscillator signals, trend identification, and volatility assessment.
Core Components
Wave Trend Oscillator (OSC): Identifies overbought and oversold market conditions using exponential moving average calculations. Key threshold levels include overbought zones at 60 and 53, with oversold areas marked at -60 and -53. Crossover signals between the two oscillator lines generate entry opportunities, displayed as colored circles on the chart for easy identification.
Supertrend Indicator (ST): Determines overall market direction using Average True Range calculations with a 2.5 factor and 10-period ATR configuration. Green lines indicate confirmed uptrends while red lines signal downtrend conditions. The indicator automatically adapts to market volatility changes, providing reliable trend identification across different market environments.
Squeeze Momentum (SQZMOM): Compares Bollinger Bands with Keltner Channels to identify consolidation periods and potential breakout scenarios. Black squares indicate squeeze conditions representing low volatility periods, green triangles signal confirmed upward breakouts, and red triangles mark downward breakout confirmations.
Signal Generation Logic
Long Entry Conditions:
Green triangles from Squeeze Momentum component
Supertrend line transitioning to green
Bullish crossovers in Wave Trend Oscillator from oversold territory
Short Entry Conditions:
Red triangles from Squeeze Momentum component
Supertrend line transitioning to red
Bearish crossovers in Wave Trend Oscillator from overbought territory
Automated Risk Management
The indicator incorporates comprehensive risk management through ATR-based calculations. Stop losses are automatically positioned at 3x ATR distance from entry points, while three progressive take profit targets are established at 1x, 2x, and 3x ATR multiples respectively. All risk management levels are clearly displayed on the chart using colored lines and informative labels.
When trend direction changes, the system automatically clears previous risk levels and generates new calculations, ensuring all risk parameters remain current and relevant to existing market conditions.
Alert and Notification System
Comprehensive alert framework includes trend change notifications with complete trade setup details, squeeze release alerts for breakout opportunity identification, and trend weakness warnings for active position management. Alert messages contain specific trading pair information, timeframe specifications, and all relevant entry and exit level data.
Implementation Guidelines
Timeframe Selection: Higher timeframes including 4-hour and daily charts provide the most reliable signals for position trading strategies. One-hour charts demonstrate good performance for day trading applications, while 15-30 minute timeframes enable scalping approaches with enhanced risk management requirements.
Risk Management Integration: Limit individual trade risk to 1-2% of total capital using the automatically calculated stop loss levels for precise position sizing. Implement systematic profit-taking at each target level while adjusting stop loss positions to protect accumulated gains.
Market Volatility Adaptation: The indicator's ATR-based calculations automatically adjust to changing market volatility conditions. During high volatility periods, risk management levels appropriately widen, while low volatility conditions result in tighter risk parameters.
Optimization Techniques
Combine indicator signals with fundamental support and resistance level analysis for enhanced signal validation. Monitor volume patterns to confirm breakout strength, particularly when Squeeze Momentum signals develop. Maintain awareness of scheduled economic events that may influence market behavior independent of technical indicator signals.
The multi-component design provides internal signal confirmation through multiple alignment requirements, significantly reducing false signal occurrence while maintaining reasonable trade frequency for active trading strategies.
Technical Specifications
The Wave Trend Oscillator utilizes customizable channel length (default 10) and average length (default 21) parameters for optimal market sensitivity. Supertrend calculations employ ATR period of 10 with factor multiplier of 2.5 for balanced signal quality. Squeeze Momentum analysis uses Bollinger Band length of 20 periods with 2.0 multiplication factor, combined with Keltner Channel length of 20 periods and 1.5 multiplication factor.
Conclusion
The Mutanabby_AI OSC+ST+SQZMOM indicator provides a systematic approach to technical market analysis through the integration of proven oscillator, trend, and momentum components. Success requires thorough understanding of each element's functionality and disciplined implementation of proper risk management principles.
Practice with demo trading accounts before live implementation to develop familiarity with signal interpretation and trade management procedures. The indicator's systematic approach effectively reduces emotional decision-making while providing clear, objective guidelines for trade entry, management, and exit strategies across various market conditions.

Daily ATR Bonanza: Expected Moves - Tr33man Daily ATR Bonanza: Expected Moves
Overview 🤷♂️
The Daily ATR Bonanza script is a powerful trading tool designed to help traders visualize and understand potential price movements using the Average True Range (ATR). It provides daily and weekly ATR levels, historical statistics, and conditional probability analysis to give traders actionable insights. The script also plots the daily Keltner channel. This script is ideal for traders who want to gauge volatility, identify key levels, and make data-driven decisions.
b]Key Features:
📈 1. Daily and Weekly ATR Levels
🔵ATR Levels: The script calculates and displays ATR-based levels for the day and week. These levels are derived from the previous day's or week's close price and are adjusted using customizable multipliers (0.5x, 1x, and 1.5x by default).
🔵You can choose the number of ATR levels (1, 2, or 3) and adjust the multipliers to suit your trading strategy.
🌐 2. ATR Bands (Keltner Channels)
🔵The script includes an option to display ATR Bands, which are volatility-based envelopes around a moving average. These bands help identify overbought and oversold conditions.
🔵You can adjust the ATR multiplier and the length of the moving average used for the bands.
🧮 3. Historical Statistics and Conditional Probability
🔵 Historical Analysis: The script analyzes historical price movements to calculate the likelihood of closing at certain ATR levels.
🔵 Conditional Probability: This feature shows the probability of the price reaching specific ATR levels given the current market conditions. The conditional matches historical data by an open in the same opening ATR bucket, as well as the current price bucket having been visited in the historical case. Conditional probabilities are just statistics, and do not predict anything.
Data Table: 📚
🔵 Historical Close Probability: The percentage of days the price closed within each ATR level.
🔵 Conditional Close Probability: The likelihood of the price closing within each ATR level today.
❓ What is Conditional Probability? ❓
Conditional probability is a statistical measure that calculates the likelihood of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred. In this script, it is used to determine the probability of the price reaching specific ATR levels based on the current opening range as well as current ATR distance from the previous close.
For example:
If the market opens near the lower end of the first ATR level, the script calculates the likelihood of the price reaching the upper end of the first, second, or third ATR level.
This analysis is based on historical data, making it a powerful tool for understanding potential price movements.
🌟 Understanding the Levels
🔵Daily Levels: These are based on the previous day's close price and ATR. They are updated at the start of each new day.
🔵Weekly Levels: These are based on the previous week's close price and ATR. They are updated at the start of each new week.
🔵ATR Bands: These are dynamic levels that adjust with market volatility.
🔬 Analyze the Statistics (Daily only for now, no weekly yet)
🔵Use the interactive table to understand historical probabilities and conditional probabilities.
🔵Focus on the current opening range and the likelihood of reaching specific levels.
🧠 Make Trading Decisions
🔵Use the ATR levels and bands to identify key support and resistance levels.
🔵Use the conditional probability table to gauge the likelihood of reaching specific targets.
🔵Adjust your strategy based on the historical performance of the market.
Example Use Cases
1. Day Trading
Use the daily ATR levels to set intraday targets and stop-loss levels.
Monitor the conditional probability table to adjust your expectations based on the opening range.
2. Swing Trading
Use the weekly ATR levels to identify longer-term support and resistance levels.
3. Scalping
Use the ATR bands to identify overbought and oversold conditions.
Use the conditional probability table to quickly assess the likelihood of price movements.
MTF TTM Squeeze ProOverview
The MTF TTM Squeeze Pro indicator helps traders identify market compression (squeeze) conditions and analyze momentum across multiple timeframes.

• Medium Compression Squeeze (Red): Moderate squeeze, potential breakout setup.
• Low Compression Squeeze (Black): Mild squeeze, possible momentum shift.
• No Squeeze (Green): Market is trending, no consolidation detected.
2. Momentum Analysis
The script features a custom linear regression momentum oscillator to gauge market direction:
• Positive rising momentum (Aqua) suggests bullish acceleration.
• Positive falling momentum (Blue) indicates slowing bullish momentum.
• Negative rising momentum (Red) signals bearish weakening.
• Negative falling momentum (Yellow) represents strengthening bearish momentum.
3. Multi-Timeframe Display
The indicator provides a table panel showing squeeze conditions and momentum colors for:
✅ 15m, 30m, 55m, 78m, 195m, Daily (D), and Weekly (W) timeframes.

Volatility Cycle IndicatorThe Volatility Cycle Indicator is a non-directional trading tool designed to measure market volatility and cycles based on the relationship between standard deviation and Average True Range (ATR). In the Chart GBPAUD 1H time frame you can clearly see when volatility is low, market is ranging and when volatility is high market is expanding.
This innovative approach normalizes the standard deviation of closing prices by ATR, providing a dynamic perspective on volatility. By analyzing the interaction between Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, it also detects "squeeze" conditions, highlighting periods of reduced volatility, often preceding explosive price movements.
The indicator further features visual aids, including colored zones, plotted volatility cycles, and highlighted horizontal levels to interpret market conditions effectively. Alerts for key events, such as volatility crossing significant thresholds or entering a squeeze, make it an ideal tool for proactive trading.
Key Features:
Volatility Measurement:
Tracks the Volatility Cycle, normalized using standard deviation and ATR.
Helps identify periods of high and low volatility in the market.
Volatility Zones:
Colored zones represent varying levels of market volatility:
Blue Zone: Low volatility (0.5–0.75).
Orange Zone: Transition phase (0.75–1.0).
Green Zone: Moderate volatility (1.0–1.5).
Fuchsia Zone: High volatility (1.5–2.0).
Red Zone: Extreme volatility (>2.0).
Squeeze Detection:
Identifies when Bollinger Bands contract within Keltner Channels, signaling a volatility squeeze.
Alerts are triggered for potential breakout opportunities.
Visual Enhancements:
Dynamic coloring of the Volatility Cycle for clarity on its momentum and direction.
Plots multiple horizontal levels for actionable insights into market conditions.
Alerts:
Sends alerts when the Volatility Cycle crosses significant levels (e.g., 0.75) or when a squeeze condition is detected.
Non-Directional Nature:
The indicator does not predict the market's direction but rather highlights periods of potential movement, making it suitable for both trend-following and mean-reversion strategies.
How to Trade with This Indicator:
Volatility Squeeze Breakout:
When the indicator identifies a squeeze (volatility compression), prepare for a breakout in either direction.
Use additional directional indicators or chart patterns to determine the likely breakout direction.
Crossing Volatility Levels:
Pay attention to when the Volatility Cycle crosses the 0.75 level:
Crossing above 0.75 indicates increasing volatility—ideal for trend-following strategies.
Crossing below 0.75 signals decreasing volatility—consider mean-reversion strategies.
Volatility Zones:
Enter positions as volatility transitions through key zones:
Low volatility (Blue Zone): Watch for breakout setups.
Extreme volatility (Red Zone): Be cautious of overextended moves or reversals.
Alerts for Proactive Trading:
Configure alerts for squeeze conditions and level crossings to stay updated without constant monitoring.
Best Practices:
Pair the Volatility Cycle Indicator with directional indicators such as moving averages, trendlines, or momentum oscillators to improve trade accuracy.
Use on multiple timeframes to align entries with broader market trends.
Combine with risk management techniques, such as ATR-based stop losses, to handle volatility spikes effectively.
LRSI-TTM Squeeze - AynetThis Pine Script code creates an indicator called LRSI-TTM Squeeze , which combines two key concepts to analyze momentum, squeeze conditions, and price movements in the market:
Laguerre RSI (LaRSI): A modified version of RSI used to identify trend reversals in price movements.
TTM Squeeze: Identifies market compressions (low volatility) and potential breakouts from these squeezes.
Functionality and Workflow of the Code
1. Laguerre RSI (LaRSI)
Purpose:
Provides a smoother and less noisy version of RSI to track price movements.
Calculation:
The script uses a filtering coefficient (alpha) to process price data through four levels (L0, L1, L2, L3).
Movement differences between these levels calculate buying pressure (cu) and selling pressure (cd).
The ratio of these pressures forms the Laguerre RSI:
bash
Kodu kopyala
LaRSI = cu / (cu + cd)
The LaRSI value indicates:
Below 20: Oversold condition (potential buy signal).
Above 80: Overbought condition (potential sell signal).
2. TTM Squeeze
Purpose:
Analyzes the relationship between Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC) to determine whether the market is compressed (low volatility) or expanded (high volatility).
Calculation:
Bollinger Bands:
Calculated based on the moving average (SMA) of the price, with an upper and lower band.
Keltner Channels:
Created using the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate an upper and lower band.
Squeeze States:
Squeeze On: BB is within KC.
Squeeze Off: BB is outside KC.
Other States (No Squeeze): Neither of the above applies.
3. Momentum Calculation
Momentum is computed using the linear regression of the difference between the price and its SMA. This helps anticipate the direction and strength of price movements when the squeeze ends.
Visuals on the Chart
Laguerre RSI Line:
An RSI indicator scaled to 0-100 is plotted.
The line's color changes based on its movement:
Green line: RSI is rising.
Red line: RSI is falling.
Key levels:
20 level: Oversold condition (buy signal can be triggered).
80 level: Overbought condition (sell signal can be triggered).
Momentum Histogram:
Displays momentum as histogram bars with colors based on its direction and strength:
Lime (light green): Positive momentum increasing.
Green: Positive momentum decreasing.
Red: Negative momentum decreasing.
Maroon (dark red): Negative momentum increasing.
Squeeze Status Indicator:
A marker is plotted on the zero line to indicate the squeeze state:
Yellow: Squeeze On (compression active).
Blue: Squeeze Off (compression ended, movement expected).
Gray: No Squeeze.
Information Table
A table is displayed in the top-right corner of the chart, showing closing prices for different timeframes (e.g., 1 minute, 5 minutes, 1 hour, etc.). Each timeframe is color-coded.
Alerts
LaRSI Alerts:
Crosses above 20: Exiting oversold condition (buy signal).
Crosses below 80: Exiting overbought condition (sell signal).
Squeeze Alerts:
When the squeeze ends: Indicates a potential price move.
When the squeeze starts: Indicates volatility is decreasing.
Summary
This indicator is a powerful tool for determining market trends, momentum, and squeeze conditions. It helps users identify periods when the market is likely to move or remain stagnant, providing alerts based on these analyses to support trading strategies.
Bollinger Band Wick and SRSI Signals [MW]Introduction
This indicator uses a novel combination of Bollinger Bands, candle wicks crossing the upper and lower Bollinger Bands and baseline, and combines them with the Stochastic SRSI oscillator to provide early BUY and SELL signals in uptrends, downtrends, and in ranging price conditions.
How it’s unique
People generally understand Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels. Buy at the bottom band, sell at the top band. However, because the bands themselves are not static, impulsive moves can render them useless. People also generally understand wicks. Candles with large wicks can represent a change in pattern, or volatile price movement. Combining those two to determine if price is reaching a pivot point is relatively novel. When Stochastic RSI (SRSI) filtering is also added, it becomes a genuinely unique combination that can be used to determine trade entries and exits.
What’s the benefit
The benefit of the indicator is that it can help potentially identify pivots WHEN THEY HAPPEN, and with potentially minimal retracement, depending on the trader’s time window. Many indicators wait for a trend to be established, or wait for a breakout to occur, or have to wait for some form of confirmation. In the interpretation used by this indicator, bands, wicks, and SRSI cycles provide both the signal and confirmation.
It takes into account 3 elements:
Price approaching the upper or lower band or the baseline - MEANING: Price is becoming extended based on calculations that use the candle trading range.
A candle wick of a defined proportion (e.g. wick is 1/2 the size of a full candle OR candle body) crosses a band or baseline, but the body does not cross the band or baseline - MEANING: Buyers and sellers are both very active.
The Stochastic RSI reading is above 80 for SELL signals and below 20 for BUY signals - MEANING: Additional confirmation that price is becoming extended based on the current cyclic price pattern.
How to Use
SIGNALS
Buy Signals - Green(ish):
B Signal - Potential pivot up from the lower band when using the preferred multiplier
B1 Signal - Potential pivot up from baseline
Sell Signals - Red(ish):
S Signal - Potential pivot down from the upper band when using the preferred multiplier
S1 Signal - Potential pivot down from the baseline
DISCUSSION
During an uptrend or downtrend, signals from the baseline can help traders identify areas where they may enter the trending move with the least amount of drawdown. In both cases, entry points can occur with baseline signals in the direction of the trend.
For example, in an uptrend (when the price is forming higher highs and higher lows, or when the baseline is rising), price tends to oscillate between the upper band and baseline. In this case, the baseline BUY signal (B3) can show an entry point.
In a downtrend (when the price is forming lower highs and lower lows, or when the baseline is falling), price tends to oscillate between the baseline and the lower band. In this case, the baseline SELL signal (S3) can show an entry point.
During consolidation, when price is ranging, price tends to oscillate between the upper and lower bands, while crossing through the baseline unperturbed. Here, entry points can occur at the upper and lower bands.
When all conditions are met at the lower band during consolidation, a BUY signal (B), can occur. This signal may also occur prior to a break out of consolidation to the upside.
When all conditions are met at the upper band during consolidation, a SELL signal (S), can occur. This signal may also occur prior to a break out of consolidation to the downside.
Additional, B1 and S1 signals can be displayed that use the baseline as the pivot level.

Calculations
Bollinger Bands are a technical analysis tool that are used to measure market volatility and identify overbought or oversold conditions in the trading of financial instruments, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, and currencies. Bollinger Bands consist of three lines plotted on a price chart:
Middle Band, Basis, or Baseline: This is typically a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing prices over a certain period. It represents the intermediate-term trend of the asset's price.
Upper Band: This is calculated by adding a certain number of standard deviations to the middle band (SMA). The upper band adjusts itself with the increase in volatility.
Lower Band: This is calculated by subtracting the same number of standard deviations from the middle band (SMA). Like the upper band, the lower band adjusts to changes in volatility.
The candle wick signals occur if the wick is at the specified ratio compared to either the entire candle or the candle body. The upper band, lower band, and baseline signals happen if the wick is the specified ratio of the total candle size. For the major signals for upper and lower bands, these occur when the wick extends outside of the bands while closing a candle inside of the bands. For the baseline signals, they occur if a wick crosses a baseline but closes on the other side.
Other Usage Notes and Limitations
To understand future price movement, this indicator assumes that 3 things must be known:
Evidence of a change of market structure. This can be demonstrated by increased volatility, consolidation, volume spikes (which can be tracked with the MW Volume Impulse Indicator) or, in the case of this indicator, candle wicks.
The potential cause of the change. It could be a VWAP line (which can be tracked with the Multi VWAP , and Multi VWAP from Gaps indicators), an event, an important support or resistance level, a key moving average, or many other things. This indicator assumes the ATR bands can be a cause.
The current position in the price cycle. Oscillators like the RSI, and MACD, are typical measures of price oscillation (other oscillators like the Price and Volume Stochastic Divergence indicator can also be useful). This indicator uses the Stochastic RSI oscillator to determine overbought and oversold conditions.
When evidence of the change appears, and the potential cause of the change is identified, and the price oscillation is at a favorable position for the desired trading direction, this indicator will generate a signal.
ATR Bands (or Keltner Channels) are used to determine when price might “revert to the mean”. Crossing, or being near the upper or lower band, can indicate an overbought or oversold condition, which could lead to a price reversal. By tracking the behavior of candle wicks during these events, we can see how active the battle is between buyers and sellers.
If the top of a wick is large, it may indicate that sellers are aggressively attempting to bring the price down. Conversely, if the bottom wick is large, it can indicate that buyers are actively trying to counter the price action caused by selling pressure.
When this wicking action occurs at times when price is not near the upper band, lower band, or baseline, it could indicate the presence of an important level. That could mean a nearby VWAP line, a supply or demand zone, a round price number, or a number of other factors. In any case, this wick may be the first indication of a price reversal.
Shorter baseline periods may be better for short period trading like scalping or day trading, while longer period baselines can show signals that are better suited to swing trading, or longer term investing.
It's important for traders to be aware of the limitations of any indicator and to use them as part of a broader, well-rounded trading strategy that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and other tools that can help with reducing false signals, determining trend direction, and providing additional confirmation for a trade decision. Diversifying strategies and not relying solely on one type of indicator or analysis can help mitigate some of these risks.
The TradingView platform allows a maximum of 500 labels per chart. This means that if your settings allow for a lot of signals, labels for earlier ones may not appear if the total number of labels exceeds 500 for the chart.
Squeeze Momentum DeluxeThe Squeeze Momentum Deluxe is a comprehensive trading toolkit built with features of momentum, volatility, and price action. This script offers a suite for both mean reversion and trend-following analysis. Developed based on the original TTM Squeeze implementation by @LazyBear, this indicator introduces several innovative components to enhance your trading insights.
🔲 Components and Features
Momentum Oscillator - as rooted in the TTM Squeeze, quantifies the relationship between price and its extremes over a defined period. By normalizing the calculation, the values become comparable throughout time and across securities, allowing for a nuanced assessment of Bullish and Bearish momentum. Furthermore, by presenting it as a ribbon with a signal line we gain additional information about the direction of price swings.
Squeeze Bars - The original squeeze concept is based on the relationship between the Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channel , once the BB resides inside the KC a squeeze occurs. By understanding their fundamentals a new form of calculation can be inferred.
method bb(float src, simple int len, simple float mult) => method kc(float src, simple int len, simple float mult) =>
float basis = ta.sma (src, len) float basis = ta.sma (src, len)
float dev = ta.stdev(src, len) float rng = ta.atr ( len)
float upper = basis + dev * mult float upper = basis + rng * mult
float lower = basis - dev * mult float lower = basis - rng * mult
Both BB and KC are constructed upon a moving average with the addition of Standard Deviation and Average True Range respectively. Therefore, the calculation can be transformed to when the Stdev is lower than the ATR a squeeze occurs.
method sqz(float src, simple int len) =>
float dev = ta.stdev(src, len)
float atr = ta.atr ( len)
dev < atr ? true : false
This indicator uses three different thresholds for the ATR to gain three levels of price "Squeeze" for further analysis.
Directional Flux- This component measures the overall direction of price volatility, offering insights into trend sentiment. Presented as waves in the background, it includes an OverFlux feature to signal extreme market bias in a particular direction which can signal either exhaustion or vital continuation. Additionally, the user can choose if to base the calculation on Heikin-Ashi Candles to bias the tool toward trend assessment.
Confluence Gauges - Placed at the top and bottom of the indicator, these gauges measure confluence in the relationship between the Momentum Oscillator and Directional Flux. They provide traders with an easily interpretable visual aid for detecting market sentiment. Reversal doritos displayed alongside them contribute to mean reversion analysis.
Divergences (Real-Time) - Equipped with a custom algorithm, the indicator detects real-time divergences between price and the oscillator. This dynamic feature enhances your ability to spot potential trend reversals as they occur.
🔲 Settings
Directional Flux Length - Adjusts the period of which the background volatility waves operate on.
Trend Bias - Bases the calculation of the Flux to HA candles to bias its behavior toward the trend of price action.
Squeeze Momentum Length - Calibrates the length of the main oscillator ribbon as well as the period for the squeeze algorithm.
Signal - Controls the width of the ribbon. Lower values result in faster responsiveness at the cost of premature positives.
Divergence Sensitivity - Adjusts a threshold to limit the amount of divergences detected based on strength. Higher values result in less detections, stronger structure.

Worm *Public*This Pine Script code is designed to create a custom technical indicator called "Worm" that helps identify trends in the market based on momentum. Let's break down the code and its settings:
Indicator Title and Overlay:
The indicator is named "Worm (Clean)" and is set to be overlaid on the price chart.
Input Settings:
The code defines various input settings, which can be customized by the user. These settings include:
Indicator Settings (e.g., Alpha, Gap)
Backtest Settings (e.g., HighlightCrossovers, ApplyNorm)
Color Settings (e.g., Buy Color, Sell Color, Wait Color)
Location Settings for displaying the indicator above, below, or at the price.
Toggleable Inputs:
These settings allow you to choose whether the momentum indicator should be displayed above, below, or at the price chart. You can also specify the colors for buy, sell, and wait signals.
Indicator Calculations:
The code calculates momentum using various formulas involving the source price data (e.g., open, high, low, close). Momentum values are stored in variables L0, L1, L2, L3, and lrsi.
It also calculates the Color values for the indicator based on certain conditions and user-defined settings.
Bcolor and Scolor are used to determine the color of the plotted indicator based on buy and sell conditions.
Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC) Calculation:
The code calculates Bollinger Bands (UpperBB and LowerBB) and Keltner Channels (UpperKC and LowerKC) using the source price data.
It also determines whether the market is in a squeeze (SqzOn) or not (NoSqz) based on the relationship between BB and KC.
Signal Generation:
Buy and sell signals are generated based on various conditions, including momentum values and the squeeze state.
The color of the indicator line is determined based on the buy and sell signals.
LagF Calculation:
The LagF variable is calculated based on certain formulas involving the L0Line, L1Line, L2Line, and L3Line values.
Control Color:
The Color variable is used to control the color of the LagF indicator line based on certain conditions.
Plotting:
The momentum indicator (Val) is plotted on the chart with the specified colors and style.
The LagF indicator (Worm) is also plotted with a dynamic color based on market conditions.
Alerts are triggered when buy or sell signals are generated.
Experimental Section:
This section appears to be left for experimentation and may contain additional code or features.
Overall, this Pine Script code calculates and displays a custom momentum-based indicator called "Worm" on a price chart. It generates buy and sell signals based on momentum and squeeze conditions and allows users to customize various settings, including indicator location and colors. The code is designed for technical analysis and trend identification in financial markets.
kyle algo v1
Integration of multiple technical indicators: The strategy mainly combines two technical indicators - Keltner Channels and Supertrend, to generate trading signals. It also calculates fifteen exponential moving averages (EMAs) for the high price with different periods ranging from 9 to 51.
Unique combination of indicators: The traditional Supertrend typically uses Average True Range (ATR) to calculate its upper and lower bands. In contrast, this script modifies the approach to use Keltner Channels instead.
Flexible sensitivity adjustment: This strategy provides a "sensitivity" input parameter for users to adjust, which controls the multiplier for the range in the Supertrend calculation. This can make the signals more or less sensitive to price changes, allowing users to tailor the strategy to their own risk tolerance and trading style.
EMA Energy Representation: The code offers a visualization of "EMA Energy", which color-codes the EMA lines based on whether the closing price is above or below the EMA line. This can provide an intuitive understanding of market trends.
Clear visual signals: The strategy generates clear "BUY" and "SELL" signals, represented as labels on the chart. This makes it easy to identify potential entry and exit points in the market.
Customizable: The script provides several user inputs, making it possible to fine-tune the strategy according to different market conditions and individual trading preferences.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average) Principle:
The EMA is a type of moving average that assigns more weight to the most recent data.
It responds more quickly to recent price changes and is used to capture short-term price trends.
Principle of Color Change :
In this trading strategy, the color of the EMA line changes based on whether the closing price is above or below the EMA. If the closing price is above the EMA, the EMA line turns green,
indicating an upward price trend. Conversely, if the closing price is below the EMA, the EMA line turns red,
indicating a downward price trend. These color changes help traders to more intuitively identify price trends
In short, our team provides a lot of practical space
That is your development space
Tailored-Custom Hamonic Patterns█ OVERVIEW
We have included by default 3 known Patterns. The Bat, the Butterfly and the Gartley. But have you ever wondered how effective other,
not yet known models could be? Don't ask yourself the question anymore, it's time to find out for yourself! You have the option to customize
your own Patterns with the Backtesting tool and set Retracement Ratios and Targets for your own Patterns. In addition to this, in order to determine
the Trend at a glance and make Pattern detection more efficient, we have linked the calculation of Patterns to Bands of several types to choose
from (Bollinger, Keltner, Donchian) that you can select from a drop-down menu in the settings and play with the Multiplier
and the Adaptive Length of the Patterns to see how it affects the success rate in the Backtesting table.
█ HOW DOES IT WORK?
- Harmonic Patterns
-Pattern Names, Colors, Style etc… Everything is customizable.
-Dynamic Adaptative Length with Min/Max Length.
- XAB/ABC Ratio
-Min/Max XAB/ABC Configurable Ratio for each Pattern to create your own Patterns.
(This is really the particular option of this Indicator, because it allows you to be able to Backtest in real time
after having played at configuring your own Ratios)
- Bands
-Contrary to the original logic of the HeWhoMustNotBeNamed script, here when the price breaks out of the upper Bands
(example, Bollinger band, Keltner Channel or Donchian Channel) , with a predetermined Minimum and Maximum Length and Multiplier, we can consider
the Trend to be Bearish (and not Bullish) and similarly when the price breaks down in the lower band, we can consider the Trend
to be Bullish (not Bearish) . We have also added the middle line of the Channels (which can be useful for 'Scalper' type Traders.
-The Length of the Bands Filter is directly related to the Dynamic Length of the Patterns.
-You can use a drop-down menu to select from the following Bands Filters :
SMA, EMA, HMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA, HIGH/LOW, LINREG, MEDIAN.
-Sticky and Adaptive Bands options has been included.
- Projections
-BD/CD Projection Ratio configurable for each Pattern.
(Projections are visible as Dotted Lines which we can choose to Extend or not)
- Targets
-Target, PRZ and Stop Levels are set to optimal values based on individual Patterns. (The PRZ Level corresponds to point D
of the detected Pattern so its value should always be 0) but you can change the Targets value (defined in %) as you wish.
Again here, you have the option to fully configure the Style and Extend the Lines or not.
- Backtesting Table
-As said previously, with the possibility of testing the Success Rate of each of the 3 Customizable Patterns,
this option is part of the logic of this Indicator.
- Alerts
-We originally believe that this Indicator does not even need Alerts. But we still decided to include at least one Alert
that you can set for when a new Pattern is detected.
█ NOTES
Thanks to HeWhoMustNotBeNamed for his permission to reuse some part of his zigzag scripts.
Remember to only make a decision once you are sure of your analysis. Good trading sessions to everyone and don't forget,
risk management remains the most important!
Relative Andean ScalpingThis is an experimental signal providing script for scalper that uses 2 of open source indicators.
First one provides the signals for us called Andean Oscillator by @alexgrover . We use it to create long signals when bull line crosses over signal line while being above the bear line. And reverse is true for shorts where bear line crosses over signal line while being above bull line.
Second one is used for filtering out low volatility areas thanks to great idea by @HeWhoMustNotBeNamed called Relative Bandwidth Filter . We use it to filter out signals and create signals only when the Relative Bandwith Line below middle line.
The default values for both indicators changed a bit, especially used linreg values to create relatively better signals. These can be changed in settings. Please be aware that i did not do extensive testing with this indicator in different market conditions so it should be used with caution.
All-in-one CPR indicator Introduction and Acknowledgement:
The script is basically a mashup script and provides a combined functionality of various indicators. I'll explain the usefulness and the optimal usage of the script after giving the credits where it is due. A CPR indicator for visually identifying the trend along with the strength of the trend is NOT available in the public library of TradingView. Hence, the need of this indicator.
The credit of creating the original indicators remain unknown to me but I would like to acknowledge the authors whose formulae and codes I have used for creating this mashup indicator.
- Frank Ochoa
- Guruprasad Meduri
- Rafael Zioni
- Stoked Stocks
- Pine team for default indicators
The prime focus of the script is identifying and simplifying the 2 main aspects of a trend:
1. Direction / Underlying trend
2. Strength of the trend
Flaws in traditional CPR:
Some may see this as a flaw, some may not. So take my opinion with a grain of salt. In general, the traditional CPR indicator is used to plot just support and resistance levels, and the trend identification is purely discretionary. In addition to this, there is no way to assess the strength of the move without using a dedicated volumed based indicator. This causes amateur traders to take counter trades to the market direction.
What is the need of this hybrid indicator?
A CPR indicator that also aids in visually identifying the trend and the strength of the trend with respect to the price action in NOT available in the public library of TradingView. The traditional CPR can be used to assess the rough direction of the market but if it combined with the Hull ribbon, the probability of identifying the trend increases manifold. Hence, I decided to create this mashup indicator.
In addition to the basic CPR pivots, the script provides the functionality of the following indicators:
1. HMA based trend ribbons with auto buy/sell signals
2. Volatility based bands - Bollinger bands, Keltner channel, Donchian channel, envelope.
3. Coloured volume candles to determine the strength of the trend
4. CPR with daily, weekly, and monthly levels
5. Previous day high/low
6. Tomorrow CPR
7. 3 Simple moving averages
8. Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
Correct usage of the indicator:
The optimal usage of the indicators consists of mainly 2 parts:
1. Identification of the trend using the combination of CPR and Hull ribbon
2. Determining the strength of the trend
How to identify the trend?
In general, when the price is above CPR it is considered a bullish trend. Also, when the price is above the Hull ribbon, it is considered bullish. Reverse is true for a bearish trend. Combining the traditional CPR logic with the Hull trend ribbon, we can conclude that:
1. Bullish trend = Price above CPR and above the Hull ribbon
2. Bearish trend = Price below CPR and below the Hull ribbon
If the Hull ribbon is showing a zig-zag move, the trend will be sideways. Also, the time frame of the Hull ribbon can be defined as per the need of the user.
Exhibit: Identification of a bullish trend
Exhibit: Identification of a bullish trend with a contra move (pullback)
Exhibit: Identification of a bearish trend
Exhibit: Identification of a bearish trend with a contra move (pullback)
How to determine the strength of the trend?
1. Strong trend = The dark coloured candles represent volume more than 150% of the look back period. For instance
2. Moderate trend = The bright coloured candles represent volume between 50-150%.
3. Neutral trend = The Grey coloured candles represent a weak trend where the volume is less than 50%.
Exhibit: Identification of a strong bearish trend along with the trend direction
Exhibit: Identification of a strong bullish trend using only coloured candles
All the other indicators including the SMA, VWAP, Bollinger bands, Keltner channels, etc. can be used as per the taste of the trader.
Thanks for reading! I hope you find this indicator useful.
Happy learning. Cheers!
