SMI Ergodic Oscillator The SMI Ergodic Indicator is the same as the True Strength Index (TSI) developed by
William Blau, except the SMI includes a signal line. The SMI uses double moving averages
of price minus previous price over 2 time frames. The signal line, which is an EMA of the
SMI, is plotted to help trigger trading signals. Adjustable guides are also given to fine
tune these signals. The user may change the input (close), method (EMA), period lengths
and guide values.
You can use in the xPrice any series: Open, High, Low, Close, HL2, HLC3, OHLC4 and ect...

Guerrilla AdvancedThis indicator was designed with people without Pro License in mind (Including many of my close friends).
Basically, you will get a combo of few different tools in one box, with ability to turn them on and off with a single check mark, also, you have total control over the input numbers that was used in calculations if you so want to, for example, sometimes when i see a massive bullish up trend, i reduce the short rally from 12 to 8 even 6 to get faster signal for selling the trend.
So, what will you get in this pack?
1- Ichimoko. Yes, you heard it right, although we have it in the default tools but hey, it will use one indicator slot and if you don't have a pro license, you will use that slot
2- Rally. This is an old yet very powerful system for getting buy or sell signals, basically, you get two lines and for making the life easier i draw a cloud between them. when the trend passes above the cloud and it was bellow it in past, right after the very first candle that gets above the cloud you can put the buy order, and vice versa, the moment a candle body enters the cloud, if you want an aggressive signal, you can sell, if not, you may want to wait to see if the candles drop bellow the cloud or not then decide.
3- Resistance Support Cloud. Most of us always heard about resistance and support "lines" but many of us don't know that, in each trend, the trend line itself is a resistance or support line, and when you are going in a bullish or bearish tunnel, the floor and roof of tunnels are again resistance and supports, using this part of the tool, just like rally, you get a cloud that shows you the resistance / support "zone"
4- William Fractals. To be honest, I got this part of the code from another source available around. Why? looking at those fractal indicators, you can easily eyeball the trend line or existence of a tunnel.
5- Different EMA lines. If you are one of those people that use EMA lines for their trading, have fun with them, there are few different standard ones and even a custom one that you can put your desired number for it.
DSS Bressert (Double Smoothed Stochastic) Strategy Double Smoothed Stochastics (DSS) is designed by William Blaw.
It attempts to combine moving average methods with oscillator principles.
Enhanced Index [LazyBear]The Enhanced Index (EIDX) is a modified William %R that behaves much like the original, to indicate overbought and oversold market conditions.
EIDX has the advantage of
- Reacting more quickly to changes in buying power.
- Predicting market turning points better than other oscillators. Divergences are more pronounced.

Circular Barplot - Oscillators Sentiment [LuxAlgo]This indicator is an implementation of a circular barplot aiming to return the market sentiment given by multiple normalized oscillators. These include the relative strength index (RSI), Stochastic %K (%K), Linear Correlation Oscillator (ROSC), William Percent Range (WPR), Percent Rank (%R), and money flow index (MFI).
The length period of each of these oscillators can be adjusted in the indicator settings.
The label in the center of the circular plot returns the average market sentiment constructed from all the previously mentioned oscillators.
Settings
Width: Circle width.
Spacing: Determines how close each circle is to the other.
Thickness: Width of the colored lines.
Offset: Controls how far the circular barplot left extremity is from the most recent candles.
Src: Input source of the indicators.
Usage
Unlike regular bar charts, circular bar plots display the bars as circle arcs and have the advantage of preserving horizontal and vertical space. A higher arc length would indicate a value closer to the maximal value of the oscillator. Other variations of the circular barplots exist but this variation using the circle arc is particularly appropriate for normalized data.
The indicator can be used as a simple widget giving a quick method to obtain the overall market sentiment of a certain ticker. A dashboard is displayed on the top left of the chart in the event the user wants to see the actual value of the oscillators.
Note that low width or high spacing settings might return unwanted results.
RedK_Larry William's TrendI'm not the author of this indicator or the concept behind it
i found this code - written for another platform - while researching "Larry William's Trend" - while i also couldn't find that specific keyword in the TV public library. So thought to bring this in.
Also unfortunately there was no coder details to give credit to with the code i found. it seems this may somehow be related to the famous SuperTrend - but i have no idea how they are connected. i simply ported this to Pine in my own way.
will be happy if this is useful to some traders who use these types of trend indicators. if you do find it useful, pls leave a comment here - or feel free to take this code and modify it in any further way for your specific need.
we continue to learn and explore new tools everyday. good luck!

Breakout at 120 + 20 = Target: 140
3. Or subtract from breakdown (distribution)
Breakdown at 100 - 20 = Target: 80
```
### Multiple Targets

## WYCKOFF METHOD THEORY
### The Three Fundamental Laws
#### 1. **Law of Supply and Demand**
- Price rises when demand exceeds supply
- Price falls when supply exceeds demand
- The indicator tracks volume vs price movement to identify imbalances
#### 2. **Law of Cause and Effect**
- A period of accumulation (cause) leads to markup (effect)
- A period of distribution (cause) leads to markdown (effect)
- Trading ranges build "cause" for future price movement
#### 3. **Law of Effort vs Result**
- **Effort** = Volume (energy put into the market)
- **Result** = Price movement (spread of the bar)
- High effort with low result = potential reversal
- Low effort with high result = trend weakness
### The Five Phases
#### **ACCUMULATION CYCLE**
**Phase A: Stopping the Downtrend**
- Preliminary Support (PS): First sign of buying
- Selling Climax (SC): Panic selling exhaustion
- Automatic Rally (AR): Bounce from SC
- Secondary Test (ST): Test of SC low on lower volume
**Phase B: Building the Cause**
- Trading range develops
- Supply being absorbed by composite operator
- Multiple tests of support and resistance
- Volume generally decreases
**Phase C: The Test (Spring)**
- False breakdown below support
- Traps late sellers
- Quick reversal on low volume
- Last chance to accumulate before markup
**Phase D: Dominance Emerges**
- Sign of Strength (SOS): Break above resistance
- Last Point of Support (LPS): Pullback opportunity
- Backup (BU): Final consolidation
- Demand clearly exceeds supply
**Phase E: Markup**
- New uptrend established
- Price moves rapidly higher
- Phase E can last months/years
- Original trading range becomes support
#### **DISTRIBUTION CYCLE**
**Phase A: Stopping the Uptrend**
- Preliminary Supply (PSY): First sign of selling
- Buying Climax (BC): Euphoric buying exhaustion
- Automatic Reaction (AR): Sharp selloff from BC
- Secondary Test (ST): Test of BC high on lower volume
**Phase B: Building the Cause**
- Trading range at top
- Demand being absorbed by composite operator
- Multiple tests of support and resistance
**Phase C: The Test (UTAD)**
- Upthrust After Distribution
- False breakout above resistance
- Traps late buyers
- Quick reversal
**Phase D: Dominance Emerges**
- Sign of Weakness (SOW): Break below support
- Last Point of Supply (LPSY): Rally opportunity to exit
- Supply clearly exceeds demand
**Phase E: Markdown**
- New downtrend established
- Price moves rapidly lower
- Original trading range becomes resistance

## TRADING STRATEGY EXAMPLES
### Strategy 1: Accumulation Range Breakout
**Setup:**
1. Identify trading range (blue background in Phase B)
2. Wait for Spring or Test (Phase C)
3. Wait for SOS breakout (Phase D)
**Entry:**
- Option A: Buy on SOS breakout
- Option B: Wait for LPS pullback (better risk/reward)
**Stop Loss:**
- Below the spring low or trading range bottom
**Target:**
- Measure height of trading range (cause)
- Project upward from breakout point (effect)
- Minimum target = range height
**Example:**
```
Trading Range: 100 to 120 (20 point range)
SOS Breakout at: 120
Target: 120 + 20 = 140 minimum
```
### Strategy 2: Distribution Range Breakdown
**Setup:**
1. Identify trading range after uptrend
2. Wait for UTAD (Phase C)
3. Wait for SOW breakdown (Phase D)
**Entry:**
- Option A: Sell on SOW breakdown
- Option B: Wait for LPSY rally (better risk/reward)
**Stop Loss:**
- Above the UTAD high or trading range top
**Target:**
- Measure height of trading range
- Project downward from breakdown point
- Minimum target = range height
### Strategy 3: Spring Trading
**Setup:**
1. Strong downtrend followed by range
2. Price breaks below range bottom
3. Volume is LOW on breakdown
4. Price quickly reverses and closes above support
**Entry:**
- When candle closes above support level
- Or on retest of support
**Stop Loss:**
- Below spring low (usually tight)
**Target:**
- Top of trading range
- Previous swing high
**Risk/Reward:**
- Typically 1:3 or better
### Strategy 4: Smart Money Tracking
**Setup:**
1. Look for 💰 symbols in demand zones
2. Multiple accumulation signals (PS, SC, ST, Test)
3. Volume decreasing during range
**Entry:**
- At next demand zone test
- On SOS breakout
**Confirmation:**
- Background turning green (Phase D/E)
- Table shows "BULLISH" bias
### Strategy 5: VSA Reversal
**Setup:**
1. Strong trend in place
2. Stopping Volume (SV) appears at extreme
3. Followed by No Demand (ND) or No Supply (NS)
**Entry:**
- When trend breaks down/up
- On retest of extreme
**Example (Bullish):**
```
Downtrend → Stopping Volume → No Supply → Up bar
Entry: Buy when price moves above SV bar
```

## COMMON PATTERNS
### Pattern 1: Classic Accumulation
```
Phase A: Downtrend → PS → SC → AR → ST
Phase B: Range building (4-12 weeks typical)
Phase C: Spring (false breakdown)
Phase D: SOS → LPS → BU
Phase E: Markup (new uptrend)
```
**What to do:**
- Mark the range boundaries
- Wait for spring
- Buy on LPS or SOS
- Hold through markup
### Pattern 2: Classic Distribution
```
Phase A: Uptrend → PSY → BC → AR → ST
Phase B: Range building (topping process)
Phase C: UTAD (false breakout)
Phase D: SOW → LPSY
Phase E: Markdown (new downtrend)
```
**What to do:**
- Mark the range boundaries
- Wait for UTAD
- Sell on LPSY or SOW
- Stay out during markdown
### Pattern 3: Re-Accumulation
```
Uptrend → Trading Range → Spring → Uptrend continues
```
- Occurs during existing uptrend
- Shorter accumulation period
- Often no clear SC (trend is already up)
- Spring is the key signal
### Pattern 4: Re-Distribution
```
Downtrend → Trading Range → UTAD → Downtrend continues
```
- Occurs during existing downtrend
- Shorter distribution period
- Often no clear BC (trend is already down)
- UTAD is the key signal
### Pattern 5: Failed Breakout
**Bullish Failed Breakout:**
```
Range → Breakdown → Immediate reversal (Spring)
```
- Price breaks support
- Volume is LOW
- Immediate strong reversal
- Very bullish
**Bearish Failed Breakout:**
```
Range → Breakout → Immediate reversal (UTAD)
```
- Price breaks resistance
- Volume may be high initially
- Quick rejection and reversal
- Very bearish

## TIMEFRAME RECOMMENDATIONS
### Daily Charts (Most Reliable)
- Best for swing trading
- Clear phases and events
- Less noise
- Recommended for beginners
### 4-Hour Charts
- Good for active swing traders
- Faster signals than daily
- Still reliable
### 1-Hour Charts
- For day traders
- More false signals
- Need to filter carefully
- Use in conjunction with higher timeframe
### 15-Minute / 5-Minute
- Only for experienced traders
- High noise level
- Many false signals
- Use daily chart for context
**Golden Rule:** Always check higher timeframe first!
---
## MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS
### Top-Down Approach (Recommended)
1. **Weekly Chart** - Identify major trend and phase
2. **Daily Chart** - Find current accumulation/distribution
3. **4H Chart** - Identify entry timing
4. **Entry Timeframe** - Execute trade
### Example Analysis:
**Weekly:** Phase E Markup (bullish)
**Daily:** Phase B Re-accumulation
**4-Hour:** Spring detected
**Action:** Buy on daily LPS

## TROUBLESHOOTING
### Issue: Too Many Labels
**Solution:**
- Increase swing length (Settings → 7 or 10)
- Increase volume multipliers
- Turn off VSA labels if not needed
- Focus on major events only (SC, Spring, SOS, BC, UTAD, SOW)
### Issue: Missing Expected Events
**Solution:**
- Decrease swing length (Settings → 3)
- Decrease volume multipliers
- Turn OFF volume confirmation
- Check timeframe (use daily chart)
### Issue: False Signals
**Solution:**
- Use higher timeframe
- Wait for confirmation
- Don't trade against major trend
- Look for multiple signal convergence
### Issue: Can't See Background Colors
**Solution:**
- Check "Show Phases" is enabled
- Increase monitor brightness
- Colors are subtle by design (not to obscure price)
### Issue: Volume Shows Incorrectly
**Solution:**
- Ensure volume data is available for your symbol
- Some symbols have poor volume data
- Forex spot pairs have no real volume
- Use futures or stock markets for best results
### Issue: No Trading Range Detected
**Solution:**
- Market may be trending strongly
- Trading range might be too small
- Wait for price to consolidate
- Not all markets have clear ranges

## ADVANCED TIPS
### 1. Count Point & Figure Charts
- Wyckoff used P&F to measure "cause"
- Width of range × height = minimum move target
- Longer accumulation = larger markup
### 2. Watch for Absorption
- High volume + narrow spread = someone absorbing
- In downtrend = accumulation
- In uptrend = distribution
### 3. Multiple Timeframe Springs
- Spring on daily + spring on weekly = very strong
- Increases probability significantly
### 4. Failed Signals Are Signals Too
- Failed spring = weakness, expect lower
- Failed UTAD = strength, expect higher
### 5. Context is King
- Don't buy during Phase E Markdown
- Don't sell during Phase E Markup
- Respect the major trend
### 6. Volume Precedes Price
- Study volume changes first
- Price follows volume
- Decreasing volume in range = building energy
### 7. Composite Operator Mindset
- Think like institutions
- Where would smart money buy/sell?
- They need liquidity (retail traders)
---
## RISK MANAGEMENT
### Position Sizing
**Conservative:**
- Risk 1% per trade
- Wider stops at range boundaries
**Moderate:**
- Risk 1-2% per trade
- Stops below spring/above UTAD
**Aggressive:**
- Risk 2-3% per trade
- Tight stops
- Higher win rate needed
### Stop Loss Placement
**Accumulation:**
- Below spring low
- Below trading range bottom
- Below demand zone
**Distribution:**
- Above UTAD high
- Above trading range top
- Above supply zone
### Take Profit Strategy
**Method 1: Measured Move**
- Range height = minimum target
- 2x range height = extended target
**Method 2: Fibonacci Extensions**
- 1.0 = range height
- 1.618 = extended target
- 2.618 = maximum target
**Method 3: Trail the Stop**
- Move stop to breakeven at 1R
- Trail under swing lows in markup
- Lock in profits progressively
---
## BACKTESTING CHECKLIST
Before trading with real money:
- Backtest on 50+ historical examples
- Record all signals in trading journal
- Calculate win rate (aim for >50%)
- Calculate average R:R (aim for >1:2)
- Test on multiple instruments
- Test on multiple timeframes
- Test in different market conditions

## COMPOSITE OPERATOR PSYCHOLOGY
### What Smart Money Does (Follow Them)
**Accumulation:**
```
1. Create fear (PS, SC)
2. Shake out weak hands (Spring)
3. Absorb supply quietly (Phase B)
4. Test for remaining supply (Test)
5. Mark it up (SOS → Phase E)
💰 They buy LOW when retail panics
```
**Distribution:**
```
1. Create euphoria (PSY, BC)
2. Trap late buyers (UTAD)
3. Distribute to buyers (Phase B)
4. Test for remaining demand (ST)
5. Mark it down (SOW → Phase E)
💰 They sell HIGH when retail buys
```
### Where to Look for Smart Money
```
💰 Buy signals appear at:
- Demand zones (green boxes)
- Springs and shakeouts
- Tests of support
- After selling climax
💰 Sell signals appear at:
- Supply zones (red boxes)
- UTAD and upthrusts
- Weak rallies (LPSY)
- After buying climax
```

## PRACTICE EXERCISES
### Exercise 1: Identify the Phase
Look at any chart and ask:
1. Is there a trading range? (Phase B likely)
2. Did we just stop a trend? (Phase A)
3. Was there a spring/UTAD? (Phase C)
4. Is there a breakout? (Phase D)
5. Is trend running? (Phase E)
### Exercise 2: Volume Analysis
For each bar, note:
- Volume level (High/Normal/Low)
- Spread (Wide/Normal/Narrow)
- Effort vs Result (Matching? Diverging?)
### Exercise 3: Find Historical Springs
Go back 6 months:
- Mark all springs you can find
- Note the setup before each
- Track what happened after
- Calculate win rate

Super momentum DBSISuper momentum DBSI: The Ultimate Guide
1. What is this Indicator?
The Super momentum DBSI is a "Consensus Engine." Instead of relying on a single line (like an RSI) to tell you where the market is going, this tool calculates 33 distinct technical indicators simultaneously for every single candle.
It treats the market like a democracy. It asks 33 mathematical "voters" (Momentum, Trend, Volume, Volatility) if they are Bullish or Bearish.
If 30 out of 33 say "Buy," the score is high (Yellow), and the trend is extremely strong.
If only 15 say "Buy," the score is low (Teal), and the trend is weak or choppy.
2. Visual Guide: How to Read the Numbers
The Scores
Top Number (Bears): Represents Selling Pressure.
Bottom Number (Bulls): Represents Buying Pressure.
The Colors (The Traffic Lights)
The colors are your primary signal. They tell you who is currently winning the war.
🟡 YELLOW (Dominance):
This indicates the Winning Side.
If the Bottom Number is Yellow, Bulls are in control.
If the Top Number is Yellow, Bears are in control.
🔴 RED (Weakness):
This appears on the Top. It means Bears are present but losing.
🔵 TEAL (Weakness):
This appears on the Bottom. It means Bulls are present but losing.
3. Trading Strategy
Scenario A: The "Strong Buy" (Long Entry)
The Setup: You are looking for a shift in momentum where Buyers overwhelm Sellers.
Watch the Bottom Number: Wait for it to turn Yellow.
Confirm Strength: Ensure the score is above 15 and rising (e.g., 12 → 18 → 22).
Check the Top: The Top Number should be Red and low (below 10).
Trigger: Enter on the candle close.
Scenario B: The "Strong Sell" (Short Entry)
The Setup: You are looking for Sellers to crush the Buyers.
Watch the Top Number: Wait for it to turn Yellow.
Confirm Strength: Ensure the score is above 15 and rising.
Check the Bottom: The Bottom Number should be Teal and low.
Trigger: Enter on the candle close.
Scenario C: The "No Trade Zone" (Choppy Market)
The Setup: The market is confused.
Visual: Top is Red, Bottom is Teal.
Meaning: NOBODY IS WINNING. There is no Yellow number.
Action: Do not trade. This usually happens during lunch hours, weekends, or right before big news. This filter alone will save you from many false breakouts.
4. What is Inside? (The 33 Indicators)
To give you confidence in the signals, here is exactly what the script is checking:
Group 1: Momentum (Oscillators)
Detects if price is moving fast.
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
Stochastic
Williams %R
Momentum
Rate of Change (ROC)
Ultimate Oscillator
Awesome Oscillator
True Strength Index (TSI)
Stoch RSI
TRIX
Chande Momentum Oscillator
Group 2: Trend Direction
Detects the general path of the market.
13. MACD
14. Parabolic SAR
15. SuperTrend
16. ALMA (Moving Average)
17. Aroon
18. ADX (Directional Movement)
19. Coppock Curve
20. Ichimoku Conversion Line
21. Hull Moving Average
Group 3: Price Action
Detects where price is relative to averages.
22. Price vs EMA 20
23. Price vs EMA 50
24. Price vs EMA 200
Group 4: Volume & Force
Detects if there is money behind the move.
25. Money Flow Index (MFI)
26. On Balance Volume (OBV)
27. Chaikin Money Flow (CMF)
28. VWAP (Intraday)
29. Elder Force Index
30. Ease of Movement
Group 5: Volatility
Detects if price is pushing the outer limits.
31. Bollinger Bands
32. Keltner Channels
33. Donchian Channels
5. Pro Tips for Success
Don't Catch Knives: If the Bear score (Top) is Yellow and 25+, do not try to buy the dip. Wait for the Yellow score to break.
Exit Early: If you are Long and the Yellow Bull score drops from 28 to 15 in one candle, TAKE PROFIT. The momentum has died.
Use Higher Timeframes: This indicator works best on 15m, 1H, and 4H charts. On the 1m chart, it may be too volatile.

VIX Fix Indicator (Hestla 2015)This script provides a streamlined version of the VIX Fix, referencing the foundational work of Larry Williams and the strategies of Amber Hestla. It serves as a synthetic volatility gauge for assets that lack a dedicated VIX index. The math works by measuring the percentage drop from the highest recent close to the current low, essentially quantifying fear in the market without needing options data.
This specific script is designed to be purely visual. I have removed all the buy and sell labels found in other versions to leave a clean pane that plots only the oscillator and its moving average. You can use this to identify potential market bottoms when the black line spikes significantly, signaling that selling pressure is reaching a mathematical extreme relative to the recent trend.

Dynamic Fractal Flow [Alpha Extract]An advanced momentum oscillator that combines fractal market structure analysis with adaptive volatility weighting and multi-derivative calculus to identify high-probability trend reversals and continuation patterns. Utilizing sophisticated noise filtering through choppiness indexing and efficiency ratio analysis, this indicator delivers entries that adapt to changing market regimes while reducing false signals during consolidation via multi-layer confirmation centered on acceleration analysis, statistical band context, and dynamic omega weighting—without any divergence detection.
🔶 Fractal-Based Market Structure Detection
Employs Williams Fractal methodology to identify pivotal market highs and lows, calculating normalized price position within the established fractal range to generate oscillator signals based on structural positioning. The system tracks fractal points dynamically and computes relative positioning with ATR fallback protection, ensuring continuous signal generation even during extended trending periods without fractal formation.
🔶 Dynamic Omega Weighting System
Implements an adaptive weighting algorithm that adjusts signal emphasis based on real-time volatility conditions and volume strength, calculating dynamic omega coefficients ranging from 0.3 to 0.9. The system applies heavier weighting to recent price action during high-conviction moves while reducing sensitivity during low-volume environments, mitigating lag inherent in fixed-period calculations through volatility normalization and volume-strength integration.
🔶 Cascading Robustness Filtering
Features up to five stages of progressive EMA smoothing with user-adjustable robustness steps, each layer systematically filtering microstructure noise while preserving essential trend information. Smoothing periods scale with the chosen fractal length and robustness steps using a fixed smoothing multiplier for consistent, predictable behavior.
🔶 Adaptive Noise Suppression Engine
Integrates dual-component noise filtering combining Choppiness Index calculation with Kaufman’s Efficiency Ratio to detect ranging versus trending market conditions. The system applies dynamic damping that maintains full signal strength during trending environments while suppressing signals during choppy consolidation, aligning output with the prevailing regime.
🔶 Acceleration and Jerk Analysis Framework
Calculates second-derivative acceleration and third-derivative jerk to identify explosive momentum shifts before they fully materialize on traditional indicators. Detects bullish acceleration when both acceleration and jerk turn positive in negative oscillator territory, and bearish acceleration when both turn negative in positive territory, providing early entry signals for high-velocity trend initiation phases.
🔶 Multi-Layer Signal Generation Architecture
Combines three primary signal types with hierarchical validation: acceleration signals, band crossover entries, and threshold momentum signals. Each signal category includes momentum confirmation, trend-state validation, and statistical band context; signals are further conditioned by band squeeze detection to avoid low-probability entries during compression phases. Divergence is intentionally excluded for a purely structure- and momentum-driven approach.
🔶 Dynamic Statistical Band System
Utilizes Bollinger-style standard deviation bands with configurable multiplier and length to create adaptive threshold zones that expand during volatile periods and contract during consolidation. Includes band squeeze detection to identify compression phases that typically precede expansion, with signal suppression during squeezes to prevent premature entries.
🔶 Gradient Color Visualization System
Features color gradient mapping that dynamically adjusts line intensity based on signal strength, transitioning from neutral gray to progressively intense bullish or bearish colors as conviction increases. Includes gradient fills between the signal line and zero with transparency scaling based on oscillator intensity for immediate visual confirmation of trend strength and directional bias.

Simple CPR for intraday index tradingSimple CPR is an indicator that displays the Central Pivot Range (CPR) and Support-Resistance pivots. It offers granular customization across CPR, Floor pivots, Developing CPR, and Session High/Low levels.
Original concept from Larry Williams, Mark Fisher & Frank Ochoa
Modified from " CPR (Central Pivot Range)" script by ajithcpas
What is CPR (Central Pivot Range)?
The Central Pivot Range (CPR) is calculated from the previous period’s High (H), Low (L), and Close (C). It forms three levels:
• Pivot (P) = (H + L + C) / 3
• Top Central (TC) = ( P - BC) + P
• Bottom Central (BC) = ( H + L)/2
Together, these levels form a central zone representing the market’s “value area.” Price trading above the CPR typically indicates bullish sentiment, while trading below the CPR reflects bearish bias. A narrow CPR often precedes strong trending moves, whereas a wider CPR signals potential consolidation.
How Pivot Levels are Calculated
Beyond CPR, the indicator supports multiple pivot calculation models, including Traditional, Classic, Fibonacci, and Camarilla
For example, in the traditional model:
• R1 = ( 2 × P ) − L
• S1 = ( 2 × P ) − H
• Higher levels (R2, R3…) scale proportionally by the prior range (H-L).
These levels serve as dynamic intraday support-resistance zones and breakout targets.
Key Features
⦿ Multi-Formula CPR : Select Traditional, Classic, Fibonacci, or Camarilla pivots.
⦿ Multi-Timeframe Control : Auto-detect or manually set CPR timeframe (Daily → Yearly).
⦿ Complete Pivot Suite : Extending to five resistance and five support levels (R1–R5, S1–S5) with optional midpoints (R0.5, R1.5, R2.5, R3.5, R4.5, S0.5, S1.5, S2.5, S3.5, S4.5).All levels can be individually toggled on or off, giving traders complete control over the level of chart detail they prefer.
⦿ Full Customization : Independently toggle lines, fills, price labels, and level names.
⦿ Developing CPR & S/R : Real-time projection of next-session CPR, R1, and S1 with separate visibility controls.
⦿ Session High/Low Tracking : Plot Previous-Session High (PH) & Low (PL) with optional labels and prices.
⦿ Look-Back Flexibility : Display any number of historical CPR/pivot periods.
⦿ Styling Precision : Choose line width, style (solid, dashed, dotted), and individual colors.
⦿ Optional Fills : Visualize the CPR zone or CPR–R1/S1 bands with semi-transparent shading.
⦿ Optimized Performance : Efficient array-based drawing for smooth chart performance even with a long history.
Use Case
CPR analysis helps identify trend bias, volatility contraction/expansion, and key support-resistance zones. This indicator is ideal for intraday indices traders who need a structured yet customizable price-action framework.

Multi-Indicator Panel (RSI, Stoch, MACD, VIX Fix, MFI)A versatile single-pane oscillator panel combining RSI, Stochastic, MACD (scaled to 0–100), Williams VIX Fix (normalized & inverted: low value = high fear), and MFI. Each module is toggleable, with reference levels, background highlights, and ready-made alerts.
Key features
Per-indicator toggles: RSI, Stoch %K/%D, MACD (lines + optional histogram), inverted 0–100 VIX Fix, and MFI.
Standard levels & center line at 50; adjustable overbought/oversold thresholds.
Contextual background coloring (optional) for extreme conditions.
Built-in alerts: RSI/Stoch OB/OS, MACD–Signal cross, VIX Fix “High Fear/Low Fear,” and MFI OB/OS.
Unified scale: MACD mapped around 50 to align with other oscillators; VIX Fix normalized to 0–100.
How to use (quick)
Add the indicator → enable needed modules via “Indicator Toggles.”
Tune periods & levels (e.g., RSI 14, Stoch 14/3, MACD 12-26-9, VIX Fix 22/252, MFI 14).
(Optional) Turn on MACD histogram.
Create alerts from “Add alert on…” using the provided conditions.
Interpretation notes
Inverted VIX Fix: low values ⇒ high fear/volatility (potential bounces); high values ⇒ complacency.
Scaled MACD: lines around 50 ≈ MACD zero; line crosses remain valid despite scaling.
Disclaimer
Analysis tool, not financial advice. Test across timeframes/instruments and pair with risk management.
IV Rank (tasty-style) — VIXFix / HV ProxyIV Rank (tasty-style) — VIXFix / HV Proxy
Overview
This indicator replicates tastytrade’s IV Rank calculation—but built entirely inside TradingView.
Because TradingView does not expose live option-chain implied volatility, the script lets you choose between two widely used price-based IV proxies:
VIXFix (Williams VIX Fix): a fast-reacting volatility estimate derived from price extremes.
HV(30): 30-day annualized historical volatility of daily log returns.
The goal is to approximate the “rich vs. cheap” option volatility environment that traders use to decide whether to sell or buy premium.
Formula
IV Rank answers the question: Where is current implied volatility relative to its own 1-year range?

IVcurrent: Current value of the chosen IV proxy.
IV1yHigh/Low: Highest and lowest proxy values over the user-defined lookback (default 252 trading days ≈ 1 year).
IVR = 0 → Current IV equals its 1-year low
IVR = 100 → Current IV equals its 1-year high
IVR ≈ 50 → Current IV sits mid-range
How to Use
High IV Rank (≥50–60%)
Options are relatively expensive → short-premium strategies (credit spreads, iron condors, straddles) may be more attractive.
Low IV Rank (≤20%)
Options are relatively cheap → long-premium strategies (debit spreads, calendars, diagonals) may offer better risk/reward.
Combine with your own analysis, liquidity checks, and risk management.
Inputs & Customization
IV Source: Choose “VIXFix” or “HV(30)” as the volatility proxy.
IVR Lookback: Rolling window for 1-year high/low (default 252 trading days).
VIXFix Parameters: Length and stdev multiplier to fine-tune sensitivity.
Info Label: Optional on-chart label displays current IV proxy, 1-year high/low, and IV Rank.
Alerts: Optional alerts when IVR crosses 50, falls below 20, or rises above 80.
Notes & Limitations
This indicator does not pull real option-chain IV.
It provides a close structural analogue to tastytrade’s IV Rank using price-derived proxies for markets where options data is not directly available.
For live option IV, use broker platforms or third-party data feeds alongside this script.

Composite Sentiment Indicator (SPY/QQQ/SOXX + VixFix)# Multi-Index Composite Sentiment Indicator
A comprehensive sentiment indicator that works across SPY, QQQ, SOXX, and custom symbols. Combines volatility, options flow, macro factors, technicals, and seasonality into a single z-score composite.
## What It Does
Takes multiple market sentiment inputs (VIX, put/call ratios, breadth, yields, etc.) and smooshes them into one normalized line. When the composite is high = markets getting spooked. When it's low = markets getting complacent.
## Key Features
- **Multi-Index Support**: Automatically adapts for SPY (uses VIX), QQQ (uses VXN), SOXX (uses VixFix), or custom symbols
- **VixFix Integration**: Larry Williams' VixFix for indices without dedicated VIX measures
- **Signal MA**: Choose from SMA/EMA/WMA/HMA/TEMA/DEMA with color coding (red above MA = risk-on, green below = risk-off)
- **September Focus**: Built-in seasonality weighting for September weakness patterns
- **Comprehensive Components**: Volatility, options sentiment, macro factors, technicals, and sector-specific metrics
## How to Use
**Basic Setup:**
1. Pick your index (SPY/QQQ/SOXX)
2. Choose signal MA type and length (EMA 21 is a good start)
3. Watch for extreme readings and MA crossovers
**Color Signals:**
- Red composite = above signal MA = bearish sentiment
- Green composite = below signal MA = bullish sentiment
- Extreme high readings (red background) = potential tops
- Extreme low readings (green background) = potential bottoms
**For Different Indices:**
- **QQQ**: Uses NASDAQ VIX (VXN) when available, falls back to VixFix
- **SOXX**: Includes semiconductor cycle indicators, uses VixFix for volatility
- **Custom**: Adapts automatically, relies on VixFix and general market metrics
## Components Included
**Volatility**: VIX/VXN/VixFix, term structure, historical vol
**Options**: Put/call ratios, SKEW index
**Macro**: DXY, 10Y yields, yield curve, TIPS spreads
**Technical**: RSI deviation, momentum
**Seasonality**: September effects, quad witching, month-end patterns
**Breadth**: S&P 500 and NASDAQ breadth measures
## Pro Tips
- Works well on Daily Timeframe
- September gets extra weight automatically - watch for August setup signals
- Keltner envelope breaks often mark sentiment exhaustion points
- Use alerts for extreme readings and MA crossovers
Works best when you understand that sentiment extremes often mark turning points, not continuation signals. High readings don't mean "keep shorting" - they mean "start looking for reversal setups."
## Settings Worth Tweaking
- Signal MA type/length for your timeframe
- Component weights based on what matters for your index
- Envelope multipliers for your risk tolerance
- VixFix parameters if default doesn't fit your symbol's volatility
The table shows all current component readings so you can see what's driving the signal. Good for context and debugging weird readings.
