Commodity Channel Index DualThe CCI Dual is a custom TradingView indicator built in Pine Script v5, designed to help traders identify potential buy and sell signals using two Commodity Channel Index (CCI) oscillators. It combines a shorter-period CCI (default: 14) for quick momentum detection with a longer-period CCI (default: 50) for confirmation, focusing on mean-reversion opportunities in overbought or oversold conditions.
This setup is particularly suited for volatile markets like cryptocurrencies on higher timeframes (e.g., 3-day charts), where it highlights reversals by requiring both CCIs to cross out of extreme zones within a short window (default: 3 bars).
The indicator plots the CCIs, customizable bands (inner: 100, OB/OS: 175, outer: 200), dynamic fills for visual emphasis, background highlights for signals, and alert conditions for notifications.
How It Works
The indicator calculates two CCIs based on user-defined lengths and source (default: close price):
CCI Calculation: CCI measures price deviation from its average, using the formula: CCI = (Typical Price - Simple Moving Average) / (0.015 * Mean Deviation). The short CCI reacts faster to price changes, while the long CCI provides smoother, trend-aware confirmation.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Customizable thresholds define extremes (Overbought at +175, Oversold at -175 by default). Bands are plotted at inner (±100), mid (±175 dashed), and outer (±200) levels, with gray fills for the outer zones.
Dynamic Fills: The longer CCI is used to shade areas beyond OB/OS levels in red (overbought) or green (oversold) for quick visual cues.
Signals:
Buy Signal: Triggers when both CCIs cross above the Oversold level (-175) within the signal window (3 bars). This suggests a potential upward reversal from an oversold state.
Sell Signal: Triggers when both cross below the Overbought level (+175) within the window, indicating a possible downward reversal.
Visuals and Alerts: Buy signals highlight the background green, sells red. Separate alertconditions allow setting TradingView alerts for buys or sells independently.
Customization: Adjust lengths, levels, and window via inputs to fit your timeframe or asset—e.g., higher OB/OS for crypto volatility.
This logic reduces noise by requiring dual confirmation, but like all oscillators, it can produce false signals in strong trends where prices stay extended.
To mitigate false signals (e.g., in trending markets), layer the CCI Dual with MACD (default: 12,26,9) and RSI (default: 14) for multi-indicator confirmation:
With MACD: Only take CCI buys if the MACD line is above the signal line (or histogram positive), confirming bullish momentum. For sells, require MACD bearish crossover. This filters counter-trend signals by aligning with trend strength—e.g., ignore CCI sells if MACD shows upward momentum.
With RSI: Confirm CCI oversold buys only if RSI is below 30 and rising (or shows bullish divergence). For overbought sells, RSI above 70 and falling. This adds overextension validation, reducing whipsaws in crypto trends.
I made this customizable for you to find what works best for your asset you are trading. I trade the 6 hour and 3 day timeframe mainly on major cryptocurrency pairs. I hope you enjoy this script and it serves you well.

Easy Move & Squeeze Alerts1. Overview
The Easy Move & Squeeze Alerts indicator combines two proven techniques to help you anticipate major price swings and spot volatility compressions (long/short squeezes) early on. It offers:
Automated Alerts via TradingView’s alert engine
On-chart Visual Cues for immediate context
Flexible Inputs to fine-tune sensitivity, lookback length, and display options
2. TTM Squeeze (Volatility Compression)
Core Concept: Compares Bollinger Bands (standard deviation channels) with Keltner Channels (ATR-based channels).
Squeeze On: BBs lie completely inside Keltner Channels → volatility is compressed, signaling a potential buildup.
Squeeze Off: BBs break outside Keltner Channels → typically the start of a strong directional move.
Alert: When the squeeze releases, the indicator fires an alert:
💥 Squeeze Release – Volatility incoming!
Chart Label: A small, purple “🔒 Squeeze” label appears above the high of each bar while compression persists, giving you a real-time visual flag.
3. ATR Breakouts (Detecting Large Moves)
Core Concept: Builds a dynamic price channel around an EMA using ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by your chosen factor.
Cross Events:
Price crosses above the upper ATR band → potential bullish breakout.
Price crosses below the lower ATR band → potential bearish breakdown.
Alert Conditions: Separate alert triggers for “🚀 Move Up” and “📉 Move Down” fire the moment the close breaches the ATR-based bounds.
4. Visualization & Usage
Channel Plots:
Bollinger Bands in blue
Keltner Channels in orange
ATR Channels in aqua (optional)
Toggle all channel plots on or off with the showZones input.
Background Highlight: During a squeeze, the chart background lightly tints purple for quick visual confirmation.
Alerts Setup:
Simply click Create Alert in TradingView, select this indicator, and choose the event(s) you want (squeeze release, ATR breakouts).
You can route notifications via email, webhook, SMS, or platform pop-ups.
5. Deployment & Customization
Timeframes: Effective across all timeframes; most popular for day- and swing-trading.
Parameter Tuning:
Increase the len value to smooth channels and focus on only the most significant compressions/moves.
Adjust the ATR or BB multipliers to make alerts more or less sensitive.
With this indicator, you gain a clear, actionable framework for spotting both volatility squeezes and breakouts before they unfold—empowering you to enter trades ahead of the crowd. Enjoy customizing and putting it to work!
Euclidean Range [InvestorUnknown]The Euclidean Range indicator visualizes price deviation from a moving average using a geometric concept Euclidean distance. It helps traders identify trend strength, volatility shifts, and potential overextensions in price behavior.
Euclidean Distance
Euclidean distance is a fundamental concept in geometry and machine learning. It measures the "straight-line distance" between two points in space. In time series analysis, it can be used to measure how far one sequence deviates from another over a fixed window.
euclidean_distance(src, ref, len) =>
var float sum_sq_diff = na
sum_sq_diff := 0.0
for i = 0 to len - 1
diff = src - ref
sum_sq_diff += diff * diff
math.sqrt(sum_sq_diff)
In this script, we calculate the Euclidean distance between the price (source) and a smoothed average (reference) over a user-defined window. This gives us a single scalar that reflects the overall divergence between price and trend.
How It Works
Moving Average Calculation: You can choose between SMA, EMA, or HMA as your reference line. This becomes the "baseline" against which the actual price is compared.
Distance Band Construction: The Euclidean distance between the price and the reference is calculated over the Window Length. This value is then added to and subtracted from the average to form dynamic upper and lower bands, visually framing the range of deviation.
Distance Ratios and Z-Scores: Two distance ratios are computed: dist_r = distance / price (sensitivity to volatility); dist_v = price / distance (sensitivity to compression or low-volatility states)
Both ratios are normalized using a Z-score to standardize their behavior and allow for easier interpretation across different assets and timeframes.
Z-Score Plots: Z_r (white line) highlights instances of high volatility or strong price deviation; Z_v (red line) highlights low volatility or compressed price ranges.
Background Highlighting (Optional): When Z_v is dominant and increasing, the background is colored using a gradient. This signals a possible build-up in low volatility, which may precede a breakout.
Use Cases
Detect volatile expansions and calm compression zones.
Identify mean reversion setups when price returns to the average.
Anticipate breakout conditions by observing rising Z_v values.
Use dynamic distance bands as adaptive support/resistance zones.
Notes
The indicator is best used with liquid assets and medium-to-long windows.
Background coloring helps visually filter for squeeze setups.

TrendMaster Pro 2.3 with Alerts
Hello friends,
A member of the community approached me and asked me how to write an indicator that would achieve a particular set of goals involving comprehensive trend analysis, risk management, and session-based trading controls. Here is one example method of how to create such a system:
Core Strategy Components
Multi-Moving Average System - Uses configurable MA types (EMA, SMA, SMMA) with short-term (9) and long-term (21) periods for primary signal generation through crossovers
Higher Timeframe Trend Filter - Optional trend confirmation using a separate MA (default 50-period) to ensure trades align with broader market direction
Band Power Indicator - Dynamic high/low bands calculated using different MA types to identify price channels and volatility zones
Advanced Signal Filtering
Bollinger Bands Volatility Filter - Prevents trading during low-volatility ranging markets by requiring sufficient band width
RSI Momentum Filter - Uses customizable thresholds (55 for longs, 45 for shorts) to confirm momentum direction
MACD Trend Confirmation - Ensures MACD line position relative to signal line aligns with trade direction
Stochastic Oscillator - Adds momentum confirmation with overbought/oversold levels
ADX Strength Filter - Only allows trades when trend strength exceeds 25 threshold
Session-Based Trading Management
Four Trading Sessions - Asia (18:00-00:00), London (00:00-08:00), NY AM (08:00-13:00), NY PM (13:00-18:00)
Individual Session Limits - Separate maximum trade counts for each session (default 5 per session)
Automatic Session Closure - All positions close at specified market close time
Risk Management Features
Multiple Stop Loss Options - Percentage-based, MA cross, or band-based SL methods
Risk/Reward Ratio - Configurable TP levels based on SL distance (default 1:2)
Auto-Risk Calculation - Dynamic position sizing based on dollar risk limits ($150-$250 range)
Daily Limits - Stop trading after reaching specified TP or SL counts per day
Support & Resistance System
Multiple Pivot Types - Traditional, Fibonacci, Woodie, Classic, DM, and Camarilla calculations
Flexible Timeframes - Auto-adjusting or manual timeframe selection for S/R levels
Historical Levels - Configurable number of past S/R levels to display

This approach demonstrates how to build a professional-grade trading system that combines multiple technical analysis methods with robust risk management and session-based controls, suitable for algorithmic trading across different market sessions.
Good luck and stay safe!
Commodity Trend Reactor [BigBeluga]
🔵 OVERVIEW
A dynamic trend-following oscillator built around the classic CCI, enhanced with intelligent price tracking and reversal signals.
Commodity Trend Reactor extends the traditional Commodity Channel Index (CCI) by integrating trend-trailing logic and reactive reversal markers. It visualizes trend direction using a trailing stop system and highlights potential exhaustion zones when CCI exceeds extreme thresholds. This dual-level system makes it ideal for both trend confirmation and mean-reversion alerts.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Based on the CCI (Commodity Channel Index) oscillator, which measures deviation from the average price.
Trend bias is determined by whether CCI is above or below user-defined thresholds.
Trailing price bands are used to lock in trend direction visually on the main chart.
Extreme values beyond ±200 are treated as potential reversal zones.
🔵 FEATURES\
CCI-Based Trend Shifts:
Triggers a bullish bias when CCI crosses above the upper threshold, and bearish when it crosses below the lower threshold.
Adaptive Trailing Stops:
In bullish mode, a trailing stop tracks the lowest price; in bearish mode, it tracks the highest.
Top & Bottom Markers:
When CCI surpasses +200 or drops below -200, it plots colored squares both on the oscillator and on price, marking potential reversal zones.
Background Highlights:
Each time a trend shift occurs, the background is softly colored (lime for bullish, orange for bearish) to highlight the change.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use the oscillator to monitor when CCI crosses above or below threshold values to detect trend activation.
Enter trades in the direction of the trailing band once the trend bias is confirmed.
Watch for +200 and -200 square markers as warnings of potential mean reversals.
Use trailing stop areas as dynamic support/resistance to manage stop loss and exit strategies.
The background color changes offer clean confirmation of trend transitions on chart.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Commodity Trend Reactor transforms the simple CCI into a complete trend-reactive framework. With real-time trailing logic and clear reversal alerts, it serves both momentum traders and contrarian scalpers alike. Whether you’re trading breakouts or anticipating mean reversions, this indicator provides clarity and structure to your decision-making.
Multi-EnvelopeRMA Multi-Envelope Indicator
The RMA Multi-Envelope Indicator is a technical analysis tool designed for TradingView, utilizing Pine Script v6. It creates eight customizable envelope bands around a 200-period Running Moving Average (RMA) on a 5-minute timeframe, based on current market measurements. Each band has independent upper and lower percentage deviations, preset to: Band 1 (0.42%, 0.46%), Band 2 (0.78%, 0.69%), Band 3 (1.01%, 1.03%), Band 4 (1.36%, 1.39%), Band 5 (1.80%, 1.62%), Band 6 (2.15%, 2.13%), Band 7 (2.93%, 2.81%), and Band 8 (4.65%, 4.18%). Users can adjust the timeframe, moving average type (RMA, SMA, or EMA), length, and colors for the basis line and bands via hex codes (e.g., #FF6D00 for the basis and Band 8) with semi-transparent color.rgb fills. Ideal for identifying support/resistance, overbought/oversold conditions, or trend boundaries on a 5-minute chart.
RDBRB Strategy with Filters + Cooldowns + LabelsRDBRB Strategy with Filters + Cooldowns
This script implements the RDBRB (Rally-Drop-Base-Retest-Breakout) strategy, a classic price action setup designed to identify structured trade opportunities using volume, volatility bands, and trend alignment. It’s ideal for traders looking for clean, rule-based entries across any timeframe.
🧠 Core Components
Rally & Drop Detection
Identifies short-term momentum shifts using moving average crossovers:
✅ Ra = Rally (bullish crossover)
🔻 Dr = Drop (bearish crossunder)
Base Formation
A statistical base is defined using a moving average with a standard deviation envelope (Upper/Lower BB). This forms the foundation for breakout or retest setups.
Retest Zone (RT)
When price returns to the lower band (but stays below the base), it suggests a potential re-accumulation or reaction zone before a breakout.
Breakout Confirmation (BO)
A breakout is validated when:
Price crosses above the upper band
Volume exceeds the 20-bar average by a threshold multiplier
RSI is above a bullish momentum level
Price is trending above the longer-term EMA
⏱️ Smart Cooldown Logic
Each signal (Rally, Drop, Retest, Breakout) has an independent cooldown timer to prevent multiple triggers within a short range, filtering out noise and duplicate signals:
Customizable cooldown periods via input settings
Ensures signals are meaningful and not clustered
💡 Visual Markers
All signals are shown as small, color-coded labels:
Ra : Green label below bar
Dr : Red label above bar
RT : Yellow label below bar
BO : Green breakout label below bar
Bands and base are plotted for structure reference.
🛠️ Customizable Settings
Cooldown periods for each signal type
MA lengths, volume and RSI thresholds
Trend filter and base calculation inputs
This script is ideal for price action traders who want a clean, structured method to trade consolidations and trend continuations while avoiding over-signaling. Use it on any timeframe and combine with higher-timeframe confirmation for best results.
Relative Performance Spread**Relative Performance Spread Indicator – Overview**
This indicator compares the **relative performance between two stocks** by normalizing their prices and calculating the **spread**, **area under the curve (AUC)**, or **normalized price ratio**.
### **How It Works**
* **Input**: Select a second stock (`ticker2`) and a moving average window.
* **Normalization**: Each stock is normalized by its own moving average → `norm = close / MA`.
* **Spread**: The difference `spread = norm1 - norm2` reflects which stock is outperforming.
* **AUC**: Cumulative spread over time shows prolonged dominance or underperformance.
* **Bounds**: Bollinger-style bands are drawn around the spread to assess deviation extremes.
### **Usage**
* **Plot Type Options**:
* `"Spread"`: Spot outperformance; crossing bands may signal rotation.
* `"AUC"`: Track long-term relative trend dominance.
* `"Normalized"`: Directly compare scaled price movements.
Use this tool for **pair trading**, **relative momentum**, or **rotation strategies**. It adapts well across assets with different price scales.
The Ultimate Buy and Sell Indicator: Unholy Grail Edition"You see, Watson, the market is not random—it simply whispers in a code too complex for the average trader. Lucky for you, I am not average."
They searched for the Holy Grail of trading for decades—promises, false prophets, and overpriced PDFs.
But they were all looking in the wrong place.
This isn’t a relic buried in the desert.
This is the Unholy Grail — a machine-forged fusion of logic, engineering, and tactical overkill .
Built by Sherlock Macgyver , this is not a mystical object. It’s a surveillance system for trend detection, signal validation, and precision entries .
⚠️ Important: This script draws its own candles.
To see it properly, disable regular candles by turning off "Body", "Wick" and "Border" colors.
🔧 What You’re Looking At
This overlay plots confirmed Buy/Sell signals , momentum-based “watch” zones , adaptive candle coloring , SuperTrend bias detection , dual Bollinger Bands , and a moving average ribbon .
It’s not “minimalist” —it’s comprehensive .
📍 Configuring the Tool: Follow the Breadcrumbs
Every setting includes a tooltip — read them . They're not filler. They explain exactly how each feature functions so you can dial this thing in like you're tuning a surveillance rig in a Cold War bunker .
If you skip them, you're walking blind in a minefield .
🕰️ Timeframes: The Signal Sweet Spot
Each asset has a tempo . You need to find the one where signals align with clarity —not chaos .
Start with 4H or 1H —work up or down from there.
Too many fakeouts? → Higher timeframe
Too slow? → Drop to 15m or 5m —but expect more noise and adjust settings accordingly.
The signals scale with time, but you must find the rhythm that best fits your asset—and your trading lifestyle .
♻️ RSI Cycle = Signal Sensitivity
This is the heart of the system . It controls how reactive the RSI engine is.
Adjust based on noise level and how often you can actually monitor your charts.
Short cycle (14–24): More signals, more speed, more noise
Longer cycle (36–64): Smoother entries, better for swing traders
Tip: If your signals feel too jittery, increase the cycle. If they lag too much, reduce it.
📉 SuperTrend: Your Trend Bias Compass
This isn’t your average SuperTrend. It adapts with RSI overlay logic and detects market “silence” via EMA compression— turning white right before the chaos . That said, you still control its aggression.
ATR Length = how many bars to average
ATR Factor = how tight or loose it hugs price
Lower = more sensitive (more trades, more noise)
Higher = confirmation only (fewer, but stronger signals)
Tweak until it feels like a sniper rifle.
No, you won’t get it perfect on the first try.
Yes, it’s worth it.
🛠️ Modular Signals: Why Things Fire (or Don’t)
Buy/Sell entries require conditions to align. The logic is modular, and that’s on purpose.
RSI signals only fire if RSI crosses its smoothed MA outside the dead zone and a “Watch” condition is active.
SuperTrend signals can be enabled to act on crossovers, optionally ignoring the Watch filter .
Watch conditions (colored squares) act as early recon and hint at possible upcoming trades.
Background color changes are “pre-signal warnings” and will repaint . Use them as leading signals, not gospel.
Want more trades? Loosen your filters .
Want sniper entries? Lock them down .
🌈 Candles and MAs: Visual Market Structure
Candles adapt in real-time to MA structure:
Green = bullish (above both fast/slow MAs)
Yellow = indecision (between)
Red = bearish (below both)
Buy/Sell signals override candles with bright orange and fuchsia —because subtlety doesn’t win wars .
You can also enable up to 8 customizable moving averages —great for confluence , trend confirmation , or just looking like a wizard .
🧠 Pro Usage Tips (TL;DR for Smart People):
Use tooltips in the settings menu —every toggle and slider is explained
Test timeframes until signal frequency and reliability match your goals
Adjust RSI cycle to reduce noise or speed up signals based on how frequently you trade
Tweak SuperTrend factor and ATR to fit volatility on your asset
Start with visual confirmation :
• Are watch signals lining up with trend zones?
• Are backgrounds firing before price moves?
• Are candle colors agreeing with signal direction?
📣 Alerts & Integration
Alerts are available for:
Buy/Sell entries (confirmed or advanced background)
Watch signals
Full band agreement (both Bollinger bands bullish or bearish)
Use these with webhook systems , bots , or your own trade journals .

IU Mean Reversion SystemDESCRIPTION
The IU Mean Reversion System is a dynamic mean reversion-based trading framework designed to identify optimal reversal zones using a smoothed mean and a volatility-adjusted band. This system captures price extremes by combining exponential and running moving averages with the Average True Range (ATR), effectively identifying overextended price action that is likely to revert back to its mean. It provides precise long and short entries with corresponding exit conditions, making it ideal for range-bound markets or phases of low volatility.
USER INPUTS :
Mean Length – Controls the smoothness of the mean; default is 9.
ATR Length – Defines the lookback period for ATR-based band calculation; default is 100.
Multiplier – Determines how wide the upper and lower bands are from the mean; default is 3.
LONG CONDITION :
A long entry is triggered when the closing price crosses above the lower band, indicating a potential upward mean reversion.
A position is taken only if there is no active long position already.
SHORT CONDITION :
A short entry is triggered when the closing price crosses below the upper band, signaling a potential downward mean reversion.
A position is taken only if there is no active short position already.
LONG EXIT :
A long position exits when the high price crosses above the mean, implying that price has reverted back to its average and may no longer offer favorable long risk-reward.
SHORT EXIT :
A short position exits when the low price crosses below the mean, indicating the mean reversion has occurred and the downside opportunity has likely played out.
WHY IT IS UNIQUE:
Uses a double smoothing approach (EMA + RMA) to define a stable mean, reducing noise and false signals.
Adapts dynamically to volatility using ATR-based bands, allowing it to handle different market conditions effectively.
Implements a state-aware entry system using persistent variables, avoiding redundant entries and improving clarity.
The logic is clear, concise, and modular, making it easy to modify or integrate with other systems.
HOW USER CAN BENEFIT FROM IT :
Traders can easily identify reversion opportunities in sideways or mean-reverting environments.
Entry and exit points are visually labeled on the chart, aiding in clarity and trade review.
Helps maintain discipline and consistency by using a rule-based framework instead of subjective judgment.
Can be combined with other trend filters, momentum indicators, or higher time frame context for enhanced results.

rsi = ta.rsi(close, rsi_length)
// StochRSI transformation
stochRSI = ((ta.highest(rsi, stoch_length) - ta.lowest(rsi, stoch_length)) != 0) ?
(100 * (rsi - ta.lowest(rsi, stoch_length))) /
(ta.highest(rsi, stoch_length) - ta.lowest(rsi, stoch_length)) : 0
2. Signal Generation System:
// Core signal conditions
crossover_buy = crossOver(sk, sd, cross_threshold)
valid_buy_zone = sk < 30 and sd < 30
price_within_sma_bands = close <= sma_high and close >= sma_low
// Enhanced signal generation
if crossover_buy and valid_buy_zone and price_within_sma_bands and htf_allows_long
if is_bullish_candle
long_signal := true
else
awaiting_bull_confirmation := true
3. Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
= request.security(syminfo.tickerid, mtf_period,
)
The HTF filter looks at a higher timeframe (default: 4H) to confirm the trend
It only allows:
Long trades when the higher timeframe is bullish
Short trades when the higher timeframe is bearish
📈 Trading Application Guide:
1. Signal Identification
• Oversold Opportunities (< 30 level)
- Look for bullish crosses of K-line above D-line
- Confirm with higher timeframe alignment
- Wait for price action confirmation (bullish candle)
• Overbought Conditions (> 70 level)
- Watch for bearish crosses of K-line below D-line
- Verify higher timeframe condition
- Confirm with bearish price action
2. Divergence Trading
• Bullish Divergence
- Price makes lower lows while indicator makes higher lows
- Most effective when occurring in oversold territory
- Use with support levels for entry timing
• Bearish Divergence
- Price makes higher highs while indicator shows lower highs
- Most reliable in overbought conditions
- Combine with resistance levels
3. Wave Effect Analysis
• Strong Waves
- Multiple wave lines moving in same direction indicate momentum
- Wider wave spread suggests increased volatility
- Use for trend strength confirmation
• Energy Field
- Higher intensity in trading zones suggests stronger moves
- Use for momentum confirmation
- Watch for energy field convergence with price action
The energy field is like a heat map that shows momentum strength
It gets stronger (more visible) when:
Price is in oversold (<30) or overbought (>70) zones
The indicator lines are moving apart quickly
A strong signal is forming
Think of it as a "strength meter" - the more visible the energy field, the stronger the potential move
4. Risk Management Integration
• Entry Confirmation
- Wait for all signal components to align
- Use higher timeframe for trend direction
- Confirm with price action and SMA positions
• Stop Loss Placement
- Consider placing stops beyond recent swing points
- Use ATR for dynamic stop calculation
- Account for market volatility
5. Position Management
• Partial Profit Taking
- Consider scaling out at overbought/oversold levels
- Use wave effect intensity for exit timing
- Monitor energy field for momentum shifts
• Trade Duration
- Short-term: Use primary signals in trading zones
- Swing trades: Focus on divergence signals
- Position trades: Utilize higher timeframe signals
⚠️ Important Usage Notes:
• Avoid:
- Trading against strong trends
- Relying solely on single signals
- Ignoring higher timeframe context
- Over-leveraging based on signals
Remember: This tool is designed to assist in analysis but should never be used as the sole decision-maker for trades. Always maintain proper risk management and combine with other forms of analysis.
Optimized Dynamic SupertrendDetailed Explanation of the Optimized Dynamic Supertrend Script
This Supertrend script is designed to dynamically adapt to different market conditions using ATR expansion, volume confirmation, and trend filtering. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of how it works and its functions.
1 ATR-Based Supertrend Calculation
📌 Key Purpose:
The script calculates an adaptive ATR-based Supertrend line, which acts as a dynamic support or resistance level for trend direction.
📌 How it Works:
ATR (Average True Range) is used to measure market volatility.
A dynamic ATR multiplier is applied based on price standard deviation (instead of a fixed value).
The Supertrend is calculated as:
Upper Band: SMA(close, ATR length) + (ATR Multiplier * ATR Value)
Lower Band: SMA(close, ATR length) - (ATR Multiplier * ATR Value)
The Supertrend flips when price crosses and holds beyond the Supertrend line.
🔹 Dynamic Adjustment:
Instead of using a fixed ATR multiplier, the script adjusts it using:
pinescript
Copy
Edit
dynamicFactor = ta.stdev(close, atrLength) / ta.sma(close, atrLength)
atrMultiplier = input(1.5, title="Base ATR Multiplier") * dynamicFactor
High volatility → Wider Supertrend bands (to avoid false signals).
Low volatility → Tighter Supertrend bands (for faster detection).
2 Trend Detection Logic
📌 Key Purpose:
Determines if the market is in a bullish or bearish trend based on price action.
Uses volume sensitivity and ATR expansion to reduce false signals.
📌 How it Works:
pinescript
Copy
Edit
var float supertrend = na
supertrend := close > nz(supertrend , lowerBand) ? lowerBand : upperBand
The Supertrend value updates dynamically.
If price is above the Supertrend line, the trend is bullish (green).
If price is below the Supertrend line, the trend is bearish (red).
3 Volume Sensitivity Confirmation
📌 Key Purpose:
Avoid false trend flips by confirming with volume (approximated using a CVD proxy).
📌 How it Works:
pinescript
Copy
Edit
priceChange = close - close
volumeWeightedTrend = priceChange * volume // Approximate CVD Behavior
trendConfirmed = volumeWeightedTrend > 0 ? close > supertrend : close < supertrend
Positive price change + High volume → Confirms bullish momentum.
Negative price change + High volume → Confirms bearish momentum.
If there’s low volume, the trend change is ignored to avoid false breakouts.
4 Noise Reduction (Final Trend Confirmation)
📌 Key Purpose:
Filter out weak or choppy price movements using ATR expansion.
📌 How it Works:
pinescript
Copy
Edit
trendUp = trendConfirmed and ta.atr(atrLength) > ta.atr(atrLength)
trendDown = not trendUp
Trend only flips when confirmed by volume + ATR expansion.
If ATR is not expanding, the script ignores weak price movements.
This ensures Supertrend signals align with strong market moves.
5 Can This Be Used on All Timeframes?
✅ YES! This Supertrend is adaptive, meaning it adjusts dynamically based on:
Volatility: Uses ATR expansion to adjust for different market conditions.
Timeframe Sensitivity: Works on any timeframe (1M, 5M, 15M, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W).
Market Structure: Confirms trend flips using volume & price movement strength.
🚀 Best Timeframes for Trading:
For Scalping (1M - 15M) → Quick execution, best with order flow confirmation.
For Swing Trading (1H - 4H - 1D) → Stronger trend signals, reduced noise.
For High Timeframes (3D - 1W) → Identifies major market shifts.
🔥 Advantages & Disadvantages in Your Trading Setup
✅ Advantages:
✔ Fully Dynamic & Adaptive → Adjusts to different timeframes & volatility.
✔ Reduces False Signals → Uses ATR expansion & volume confirmation.
✔ Precise Trend Reversals → Labels LONG & SHORT entries clearly.
✔ Works on Any Market → Crypto, Forex, Stocks, Commodities.
✔ No Extra Indicators → Pure Supertrend-based (fits your setup).
❌ Disadvantages:
⚠ Lagging Indicator → ATR & volume confirmation add slight delay.
⚠ Needs High Volume to Confirm → Weak volume → no trend flip.
⚠ Choppy Market = Late Entries → Sideways movement can cause delays.
🚀 Final Thoughts:
It’s fully dynamic & adaptive (unlike traditional static Supertrends).
No extra indicators → Uses only Supertrend logic
Refines entry points using volume & ATR confirmation (removes noise).
This ensures you get high-probability trend signals while filtering out weak breakouts! 🎯
Institutional Moves DetectorIndicator Name: Institutional Pattern Detector
What It Does:
Trend Following: It uses a Moving Average (MA) to understand the general direction of the price. The MA is like a smoothed-out line of the price over time, showing if the price trend is going up or down.
Volatility Measurement: The script employs Bollinger Bands (BB) to see how much the price is fluctuating. Bollinger Bands create an upper and lower "channel" around the price, which gets wider or narrower based on how volatile the price is.
Volume Check: It looks at trading volume to find times when there's unusually high activity, which could mean big players (institutions like banks or funds) are trading. It flags this when the volume is 1.5 times more than the average volume of the last 100 bars.
Pattern Detection for Trading Signals:
Entry Signal ("IN"): When there's high volume and the price is above the upper Bollinger Band, it suggests there might be strong buying from big institutions. This could mean the price might keep going up.
EXIT Signal ("OUT"): If there's high volume and the price falls below the lower Bollinger Band, it indicates possible strong selling pressure from institutions, suggesting the price might go down.
Visual Cues:
An orange label "IN" appears below the price bar for entry signals.
A red label "OUT" appears above the price bar for exit signals.
The moving average line is plotted on the chart in orange to help you see the trend.
Alerts: The script can alert you when these entry or exit signals occur, so you can get notifications without needing to stare at the chart all day.
For New Traders:
This indicator helps you spot when big traders might be influencing the market, potentially giving you a clue about when to enter or exit.
Remember, this is one tool among many. You should not base your trading solely on this; combine it with other analysis methods.
It's always wise to practice with a demo account before using real money to get a feel for how these signals work in actual market conditions.

Directional Volume IndexDirectional Volume Index (DVI) (buying/selling pressure)
This index is adapted from the Directional Movement Index (DMI), but based on volume instead of price movements. The idea is to detect building directional volume indicating a growing amount of orders that will eventually cause the price to follow. (DVI is not displayed by default)
The rough algorithm for the Positive Directional Volume Index (green bar):
calculate the delta to the previous green bar's volume
if the delta is positive (growing buying pressure) add it to an SMA, else add 0 (also for red bars)
divide these average deltas by the average volume
the result is the Positive Directional Volume Index (DVI+) (vice versa for DVI-)
Differential Directional Volume Index (DDVI) (relative pressure)
Creating the difference of both Directional Volume Indexes (DVI+ - DVI-) creates the Differential Directional Volume Index (DDVI) with rising values indicating a growing buying pressure, falling values a growing selling pressure. (DDVI is displayed by default, smoothed by a custom moving average)
Average Directional Volume Index (ADVX) (pressure strength)
Putting the relative pressure (DDVI) in relation to the total pressure (DVI+ + DVI-) we can determine the strength and duration of the currently building volume change / trend. For the DMI/ADX usually 20 is an indicator for a strong trend, values above 50 suggesting exhaustion and approaching reversals. (ADVX is not displayed by default, smoothed by a custom moving average)
Divergences of the Differential Directional Volume Index (DDVI) (imbalances)
By detecting divergences we can detect situations where e.g. bullish volume starts to build while price is in a downtrend, suggesting that there is growing buying pressure indicating an imminent bullish pullback/order block or reversal. (strong and hidden divergences are displayed by default)
Divergences Overview:
strong bull: higher lows on volume, lower lows on price
medium bull: higher lows on volume, equal lows on price
weak bull: equal lows on volume, lower lows on price
hidden bull: lower lows on volume, higher lows on price
strong bear: lower highs on volume, higher highs on price
medium bear: lower highs on volume, equal highs on price
weak bear: equal highs on volume, higher highs on price
hidden bear: higher highs on volume, lower highs on price
DDVI Bands (dynamic overbought/oversold levels)
Using Bollinger Bands with DDVI as source we receive an averaged relative pressure with stdev band offsets. This can be used as dynamic overbought/oversold levels indicating reversals on sharp crossovers.
Alerts
As of now there are no alerts built in, but all internal data is exposed via plot and plotshape functions, so it can be used for custom crossover conditions in the alert dialog. This is still a personal research project, so if you find good setups, please let me know.
