All-In-One MA Stack ScalperWhat is this Indicator?
This tool is an advanced, multi-layered breakout and trend-following indicator designed for lower timeframes. It identifies high-conviction buy and sell signals by combining moving average stacking with a suite of professional-grade filters.
How Does It Work?
A signal is generated only when ALL of the following conditions are met:
Moving Average Stack (5M Chart):
Buy: The close price is above all five moving averages (MAs: 100, 48, 36, 24, 12).
Sell: The close price is below all five MAs.
Volatility Filter (ATR):
Signals only print when the current ATR (14) is at least 80% of its 100-period average, ensuring you only trade in actively moving markets.
Candle Structure Filter:
The current candle must have a real body that is at least 35% of the candle’s total range, filtering out dojis and indecision bars.
Big Candle Filter:
The candle’s total range must be at least 40% of the current ATR, avoiding signals on minor, insignificant moves.
Volume Filter:
The current volume must be at least 80% of its 50-period average, filtering out signals during illiquid or quiet market conditions.
Minimum Distance from All MAs:
Price must be a minimum distance (20% ATR) away from each MA, confirming a clean breakout and avoiding signals in tight MA clusters or ranging markets.
RSI Momentum Filter:
Buy: RSI(14) must be greater than 55.
Sell: RSI(14) must be less than 45.
This ensures trades are only taken in the direction of momentum.
ADX Trend Filter:
ADX(14,14) must be above 20, ensuring signals only print in trending conditions (not in chop/range).
Minimum Bars Between Signals:
Only one signal per direction is allowed every 10 bars to avoid overtrading and signal clustering.
What Does This Achieve?
Reduces noise and false signals common in basic MA cross or stack systems.
Captures only strong, high-momentum, and high-conviction moves.
Helps you avoid chop, range, and news whipsaws by combining multiple market filters.
Perfect for advanced scalpers, intraday trend followers, or as a trade filter for algos/EAs.
How to Use It:
Apply to your 5-minute chart.
Green BUY signals: Only when all bullish conditions align.
Red SELL signals: Only when all bearish conditions align.
Use as a stand-alone system or as a filter for your own entries.
Recommended For:
Scalpers & intraday traders who want only the best opportunities.
EA and bot builders seeking reliable signal logic.
Manual traders seeking confirmation of high-probability breakouts.
Tip:
Adjust any of the filters (e.g., RSI/ADX thresholds, minBars, minDist) to make it more/less selective for your style or market.
Stock Scoring SystemThe EMA Scoring System is designed to help traders quickly assess market trend strength and decide portfolio allocation. It compares price vs. key EMAs (21, 50, 100) and also checks the relative strength between EMAs. Based on these conditions, it assigns a score (-6 to +6) and a corresponding allocation percentage.
+6 Score = 100% allocation (strong bullish trend)
-6 Score = 10% allocation (strong bearish trend)
Scores in between represent intermediate trend strength.
📌 Key Features
✅ Scoring Model: Evaluates price vs. EMA alignment and EMA cross relationships.
✅ Allocation % Display: Converts score into suggested portfolio allocation.
✅ Background Highlighting: Green shades for bullish conditions, red shades for bearish.
✅ Customizable Table Position: Choose between Top Right, Top Center, Bottom Right, or Bottom Center.
✅ Toggleable EMAs: Show/Hide 21 EMA, 50 EMA, and 100 EMA directly from indicator settings.
✅ Simple & Intuitive: One glance at the chart tells you trend strength and suggested allocation.
📈 How It Works
Score Calculation:
Price above an EMA = +1, below = -1
Faster EMA above slower EMA = +1, else -1
Maximum score = +6, minimum = -6
Allocation Mapping:
+6 → 100% allocation
+4 to +5 → 100% allocation
+2 to +3 → 75% allocation
0 to +1 → 50% allocation
-1 to -2 → 30% allocation
-3 to -4 → 20% allocation
-5 to -6 → 10% allocation
Visual Output:
Table shows SCORE + Allocation %
Background color shifts with score (green for bullish, red for bearish)

Universal Stochastic Fusion (Simplified) — v6What this indicator is
This indicator is called Universal Stochastic Fusion (USF).
It’s a tool that helps traders see when the market might be too high (overbought) or too low (oversold), and when it might be a good time to buy or sell.
________________________________________
How it works
Think of the market like a rubber band.
• If the band stretches too far up, it usually snaps back down.
• If it stretches too far down, it usually bounces back up.
The USF indicator measures this stretch using something called the Stochastic Oscillator (just a fancy way of saying it looks at where the current price sits compared to recent highs and lows).
It shows this on a scale from 0 to 100:
• Near 100 → market is stretched upward (too hot).
• Near 0 → market is stretched downward (too cold).
• Around 50 → normal, middle ground.
________________________________________
What’s special about USF
1. Two views at once
o It lets you see the market’s stretch on your current chart and on another timeframe (like a daily view).
o This way, you can see the short-term and the bigger picture together.
2. Smart levels
o Instead of always using the same “too high/too low” levels (like 80 and 20), it can adjust these lines automatically depending on how wild or calm the market is.
3. Buy and Sell signals
o When the market looks too low and starts turning up, it can mark a BUY.
o When the market looks too high and starts turning down, it can mark a SELL.
4. Extra filter (optional)
o It can also use another tool (RSI) to double-check signals, so you don’t get as many false alerts.
________________________________________
How this helps traders
• It helps traders avoid buying when prices are already too high.
• It helps them spot possible bottoms where prices may bounce back.
• It combines short-term and long-term signals so traders don’t get tricked by quick moves.
________________________________________
Where it works
This indicator is universal — meaning it works on almost any market:
• Stocks (like Apple, Tesla, etc.)
• Forex (currencies like EUR/USD)
• Crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.)
• Commodities (Gold, Oil, etc.)
• Futures and Indices (S&P 500, Nasdaq, etc.)
Because all these markets share the same pattern of prices going up and down too much and then pulling back, the USF can be applied everywhere.
________________________________________
👉 In short:
The Universal Stochastic Fusion is like a heat meter for the market.
It tells you when prices might be too hot (good chance to sell) or too cold (good chance to buy), and it works in all markets and timeframes.

Retail Sentiment Indicator - Multi-Asset CFD & Fear/Greed IndexRetail Sentiment Indicator - Multi-Asset CFD & Fear/Greed Index
Overview
The Retail Sentiment Indicator provides real-time sentiment data for major financial instruments including stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. This indicator displays retail trader positioning and market sentiment using CFD data and fear/greed indices.
Methodology and Scale Calculation
This indicator operates on a **-50 to +50 scale** with zero representing perfect market equilibrium.
Scale Interpretation:
- **Zero (0)**: Market balance - exactly 50% of investors buying, 50% selling
- **Positive values**: Majority buying pressure
- Example: If 63% of investors are buying, the indicator shows +13 (63 - 50 = +13)
- **Negative values**: Majority selling pressure
- Example: If 92% of investors are selling, the indicator shows -42 (50 - 92 = -42)
BTC Fear & Greed Index Scaling:
The original `BTC FEAR&GREED` index is natively scaled from 0-100 by its creator. In our indicator, this data has been rescaled to also fit the -50 to +50 range for consistency with other sentiment data sources.
This unified scaling approach allows for direct comparison across all instruments and data sources within the indicator.
-Important Data Source Selection-
Bitcoin (BTC) Data Sources
When viewing Bitcoin charts, the indicator offers **two different data sources**:
1. **Default Auto-Mode**: `BTCUSD Retail CFD` - Retail CFD traders sentiment data (automatically loaded).
2. **Manual Selection**: `BTC FEAR&GREED` - Fear & Greed Index from website: alternative dot me
**To access BTC Fear & Greed Index**: Input settings -> disable checkbox "Auto-load Sentiment Data" -> manually select "BTC FEAR&GREED" from the dropdown menu.
US Stock Market Data Sources
For US stocks and indices (S&P 500, NASDAQ, Dow Jones), there are **two data source options**:
1. **Default Auto-Mode**: Individual retail CFD sentiment data for each instrument
2. **Manual Selection**: `SNN FEAR&GREED` - SNN's Fear & Greed Index covering the overall US market sentiment. SNN was used as the name to avoid any potential trademark infringement.
**To access SNN Fear & Greed Index**: When viewing US market charts, disable in input settings checkbox "Auto-load Sentiment Data" and manually select "SNN FEAR&GREED" from the dropdown menu.
This distinction allows traders to choose between **instrument-specific retail sentiment** (auto-mode) or **broader market sentiment indices** (manual selection).
Features
- **Auto-Detection**: Automatically loads sentiment data based on the current chart symbol
- **Manual Selection**: Choose from 40+ supported instruments when auto-detection is unavailable
- **Multiple Data Sources**: Combines retail CFD sentiment with Fear & Greed indices
- **Visual Zones**: Clear greed/fear zones with color-coded backgrounds
- **Real-time Updates**: Live sentiment data from merged data sources
Supported Instruments
Major Indices
- S&P 500, NASDAQ, Dow Jones 30, DAX
Forex Pairs
- Major pairs: EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, USDCHF, USDCAD
- Cross pairs: EURJPY, GBPJPY, AUDUSD, NZDUSD, and 20+ others
Commodities
- Precious metals: Gold (XAUUSD), Silver (XAGUSD)
- Energy: WTI Oil
- Agricultural: Wheat, Coffee
- Industrial: Copper
Cryptocurrencies
- Bitcoin (BTC) sentiment data
- BTC & SNN Fear & Greed indices
How to Use
1. **Auto Mode** (Default): Enable "Auto-load Sentiment Data" to automatically display sentiment for the current chart symbol
2. **Manual Mode**: Disable auto-load and select from the dropdown menu for specific instruments
3. **Interpretation**:
- Values above 0 (green) indicate retail greed/bullish sentiment
- Values below 0 (red) indicate retail fear/bearish sentiment
- Fear & Greed indices use 0-100 scale (50 is neutral)
Data Sources
This indicator uses curated sentiment data from retail CFD providers and established fear/greed indices. Data is updated regularly and sourced from reputable financial data providers.
Trading Strategy & Market Philosophy
Contrarian Trading Approach
The primary purpose of this indicator is based on the fundamental market principle that **the majority of retail investors are often wrong**, and markets typically move opposite to the positions held by the majority of market participants.
Key Strategy Guidelines:
- **Contrarian Signal**: When the majority of users are positioned on one side of the market, there is statistically greater market advantage in taking positions in the opposite direction
- **Trend Exhaustion Signal**: An interesting observed phenomenon occurs when, during a long-lasting trend where the majority of investors have consistently been on the wrong side, the Sentiment indicator suddenly shows that the majority has flipped and opened positions in the direction of that long-running trend. This is often a signal of fuel exhaustion for further movement in that direction
Interpretation Examples
- High greed readings (majority bullish) → Consider bearish opportunities
- High fear readings (majority bearish) → Consider bullish opportunities
- Sudden sentiment flip during established trends → Potential trend reversal signal
Technical Notes
- Built with PineScript v6
- Dynamic symbol detection with fallback options
- Optimized for performance with minimal resource usage
- Color-coded visualization with customizable zones
Data Sources & Expansion
Acknowledgments
We extend our gratitude to **TradingView** for enabling the use of custom data feeds based on GitHub repositories, making this comprehensive sentiment analysis possible.
Data Expansion Opportunities
As the operator of this indicator, I am **open to suggestions for new data sources** that could be integrated and published. If you have ideas for additional instruments or sentiment data:
How to Submit Suggestions:
1. Send a **private message** with your proposal
2. Include: **instrument/data type**, **source**, and **brief description**
3. If technically feasible, we will work to import and publish the data
Data Infrastructure Status
Current Data Upload Process:
Please note that sentiment data uploads may occasionally experience minor interruptions. However, this should not pose significant issues as sentiment data typically changes gradually rather than rapidly.
Infrastructure Development:
We are actively working on establishing permanent cloud-based infrastructure to ensure continuous, automated data collection and upload processes. This will provide more reliable and consistent data availability in the future.
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only. Sentiment data should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy and not as the sole basis for trading decisions. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The contrarian approach described is a market theory and may not always produce profitable results.
Perp Imbalance Zones • Pro (clean)USD Premium (perp vs spot) → (Perp − Spot) / Spot.
Imbalance (z-score of that premium) → how extreme the current premium is relative to its own history over lenPrem bars.
Hysteresis state machine → flips to a SHORT bias when perp-long pressure is extreme; flips to LONG bias when perp-short pressure is extreme. It exits only after the imbalance cools (prevents whipsaw).
Price stretch filter (±σ) → optional Bollinger check so signals only fire when price is already stretched.
HTF confirmation (optional) → require higher-timeframe imbalance to agree with the current-TF bias.
Gradient visuals → line + background tint deepen as |z| grows (more extreme pressure).
What you see on the pane
A single line (z):
Above 0 = perp richer than spot (perp longs pressing).
Below 0 = perp cheaper than spot (perp shorts pressing).
Guides: dotted levels at ±enterZ (entry) and ±exitZ (cool-off/exit).
Background tint:
Red when state = SHORT bias (perp longs heavy).
Blue when state = LONG bias (perp shorts heavy).
Tint intensity scales with |z| (via hotZ).
Labels (optional): prints when bias flips.
Alerts (optional): “Enter SHORT/LONG bias” and “Exit bias”.
How to use it (playbook)
Attach & set symbols
Put the script on your chart.
Set Spot symbol and Perp symbol to the venue you trade (e.g., BINANCE:BTCUSDT + BINANCE:BTCUSDTPERP).
Read the bias
SHORT bias (red background): perp longs over-extended. Look for short entries if price is at resistance, σ-stretched, or your PA system agrees.
LONG bias (blue background): perp shorts over-extended. Look for long entries at support/σ-stretched down.
Entries
Use the bias flip as a context/confirm. Combine with your structure trigger (OB/level sweep, rejection wick, micro-break in market structure, etc.).
If useSigma=true, only trade when price is already ≥ upper band (shorts) or ≤ lower band (longs).
Exits
Bias auto-exits when |z| falls below exitZ.
You can also take profits at your levels or when the line fades back toward 0 while price mean-reverts to the middle band.
Tuning (what each knob does)
enterZ / exitZ (signal strictness + hysteresis)
Higher enterZ → fewer, cleaner signals (e.g., 1.8–2.2).
exitZ should be lower than enterZ (e.g., 0.6–1.0) to prevent flicker.
lenPrem (context window for z)
Larger (50–100) = steadier baseline, fewer signals.
Smaller (20–30) = more reactive, more signals.
smoothLen (EMA on z)
2–3 = snappier; 5–7 = smoother/laggier but cleaner.
useSigma, bbLen, bbK (price-stretch filter)
On filters chop. Try bbLen=100, bbK=1.0–1.5.
Off if you want more frequent signals or you already gate with your own σ/Keltner.
useHTF, htfTF, htfZmin (trend/confirmation)
Turn on to require higher-TF imbalance agreement (e.g., trading 1H → confirm with 4H htfTF=240, htfZmin≈0.6–1.0).
hotZ (visual intensity)
Lower (2.0–2.5) heats up faster; higher (4.0) is more subtle.
Ready-made presets
Conservative swing (fewer, higher-conviction):
enterZ=2.0, exitZ=1.0, lenPrem=60–80, smoothLen=5, useSigma=true, bbK=1.5, useHTF=true (240/0.8).
Balanced intraday (default feel):
enterZ=1.6–1.8, exitZ=0.8–1.0, lenPrem=50, smoothLen=3–4, useSigma=true, bbK=1.0–1.25, useHTF=false/true depending on trendiness.
Aggressive scalping (more signals):
enterZ=1.2–1.4, exitZ=0.6–0.8, lenPrem=20–30, smoothLen=2–3, useSigma=false, useHTF=false.
Practical tips
Don’t trade the line in isolation. Use it to time trades into your levels: VWAP bands, Monday high/low, prior POC/VAH/VAL, order blocks, etc.
Perp-led reversals often snap—be ready to scale out quickly back to mid-bands.
Venue matters. Keep spot & perp from the same exchange family to avoid cross-venue quirks.
Alerts: enable after you’ve tuned thresholds for your timeframe so you only get high-quality pings.
Optimized ADX DI CCI Strategy### Key Features:
- Combines ADX, DI+/-, CCI, and RSI for signal generation.
- Supports customizable timeframes for indicators.
- Offers multiple exit conditions (Moving Average cross, ADX change, performance-based stop-loss).
- Tracks and displays trade statistics (e.g., win rate, capital growth, profit factor).
- Visualizes trades with labels and optional background coloring.
- Allows countertrading (opening an opposite trade after closing one).
1. **Indicator Calculation**:
- **ADX and DI+/-**: Calculated using the `ta.dmi` function with user-defined lengths for DI and ADX smoothing.
- **CCI**: Computed using the `ta.cci` function with a configurable source (default: `hlc3`) and length.
- **RSI (optional)**: Calculated using the `ta.rsi` function to filter overbought/oversold conditions.
- **Moving Averages**: Used for CCI signal smoothing and trade exits, with support for SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, and VWMA.
2. **Signal Generation**:
- **Buy Signal**: Triggered when DI+ > DI- (or DI+ crosses over DI-), CCI > MA (or CCI crosses over MA), and optional ADX/RSI filters are satisfied.
- **Sell Signal**: Triggered when DI+ < DI- (or DI- crosses over DI+), CCI < MA (or CCI crosses under MA), and optional ADX/RSI filters are satisfied.
3. **Trade Execution**:
- **Entry**: Long or short trades are opened using `strategy.entry` when signals are detected, provided trading is allowed (`allow_long`/`allow_short`) and equity is positive.
- **Exit**: Trades can be closed based on:
- Opposite signal (if no other exit conditions are used).
- MA cross (price crossing below/above the exit MA for long/short trades).
- ADX percentage change exceeding a threshold.
- Performance-based stop-loss (trade loss exceeding a percentage).
- **Countertrading**: If enabled, closing a trade triggers an opposite trade (e.g., closing a long opens a short).
4. **Visualization**:
- Labels are plotted at trade entries/exits (e.g., "BUY," "SELL," arrows).
- Optional background coloring highlights open trades (green for long, red for short).
- A statistics table displays real-time metrics (e.g., capital, win rates).
5. **Trade Tracking**:
- Tracks the number of long/short trades, wins, and overall performance.
- Monitors equity to prevent trading if it falls to zero.
### 2.3 Key Components
- **Indicator Calculations**: Uses `request.security` to fetch indicator data for the specified timeframe.
- **MA Function**: A custom `ma_func` handles different MA types for CCI and exit conditions.
- **Signal Logic**: Combines crossover/under checks with recent bar windows for flexibility.
- **Exit Conditions**: Multiple configurable exit strategies for risk management.
- **Statistics Table**: Updates dynamically with trade and capital metrics.

- **Effect**: Controls the size of each trade as a percentage of available equity.
- **Pyramiding**: Default `2`. Allows up to 2 simultaneous trades in the same direction.
- **Effect**: Enables multiple entries if conditions are met, increasing exposure.
- **Commission**: 0.2% per trade.
- **Effect**: Simulates trading fees, reducing net profit in backtesting.
- **Margin**: 100% for long and short trades.
- **Effect**: Assumes no leverage; adjust for margin trading simulations.
- **Calc on Every Tick**: `true`.
- **Effect**: Ensures real-time signal updates for precise execution.
### 3.2 Indicator Settings
- **Indicator Timeframe** (`indicator_timeframe`):
- **Options**: `""` (chart timeframe), `1`, `5`, `15`, `30`, `60`, `240`, `D`, `W`.
- **Default**: `""` (uses chart timeframe).
- **Effect**: Determines the timeframe for ADX, DI, CCI, and RSI calculations. A higher timeframe reduces noise but may delay signals.
### 3.3 ADX & DI Settings
- **DI Length** (`adx_di_len`):
- **Default**: `30`.
- **Range**: Minimum `1`.
- **Effect**: Sets the period for calculating DI+ and DI-. Longer periods smooth trends but reduce sensitivity.
- **ADX Smoothing Length** (`adx_smooth_len`):
- **Default**: `14`.
- **Range**: Minimum `1`.
- **Effect**: Smooths the ADX calculation. Longer periods produce smoother ADX values.

### 3.6 Signal Settings
- **Cross Window** (`cross_window`):
- **Default**: `0`.
- **Range**: `0` to `5` bars.
- **Effect**: Specifies the lookback period for detecting DI+/- or CCI crosses. `0` requires crosses on the current bar; higher values allow recent crosses, increasing signal frequency.
- **Allow Long Trades** (`allow_long`):
- **Default**: `true`.
- **Effect**: Enables/disables new long trades. If `false`, only closing existing longs is allowed.
- **Allow Short Trades** (`allow_short`):
- **Default**: `true`.
- **Effect**: Enables/disables new short trades. If `false`, only closing existing shorts is allowed.
- **Require DI+/DI- Cross for Buy** (`buy_di_cross`):

- **Effect**: If `true`, requires a DI- crossover DI+ for sell signals; if `false`, DI+ < DI- is sufficient.
- **Require CCI Cross for Sell** (`sell_cci_cross`):
- **Default**: `true`.
- **Effect**: If `true`, requires a CCI crossunder MA for sell signals; if `false`, CCI < MA is sufficient.
- **Countertrade** (`countertrade`):
- **Default**: `true`.
- **Effect**: If `true`, closing a trade triggers an opposite trade (e.g., close long, open short) if allowed.
- **Color Background for Open Trades** (`color_background`):

- **MA Length for Exit** (`ma_exit_length`):
- **Default**: `20`.
- **Range**: Minimum `1`.
- **Effect**: Sets the period for the exit MA. Longer periods delay exits.
- **MA Type for Exit** (`ma_exit_type`):
- **Options**: `SMA`, `EMA`, `SMMA (RMA)`, `WMA`, `VWMA`.
- **Default**: `SMA`.
- **Effect**: Determines the MA type for exit signals. EMA is more responsive; VWMA weights by volume.

- **Default**: `false`.
- **Effect**: If `true`, closes trades when the ADX changes by a specified percentage.
- **ADX % Change for Stop-Loss** (`adx_change_percent`):
- **Default**: `5.0`.
- **Range**: Minimum `0.0`, step `0.1`.
- **Effect**: Specifies the percentage change in ADX (vs. previous bar) that triggers a stop-loss. Higher values reduce premature exits.
- **Use Performance Stop-Loss** (`use_perf_stop`):
- **Default**: `false`.
- **Effect**: If `true`, closes trades when the loss exceeds a percentage threshold.
- **Performance Stop-Loss (%)** (`perf_stop_percent`):
- **Default**: `-10.0`.
- **Range**: `-100.0` to `0.0`, step `0.1`.
- **Effect**: Specifies the loss percentage that triggers a stop-loss. More negative values allow larger losses before exiting.
## 4. Visual and Statistical Output
- **Labels**: Displayed at trade entries/exits with arrows (↑ for buy, ↓ for sell) and text ("BUY," "SELL"). A "No Equity" label appears if equity is zero.

Smart Breadth [smartcanvas]Overview
This indicator is a market breadth analysis tool focused on the S&P 500 index. It visualizes the percentage of S&P 500 constituents trading above their 50-day and 200-day moving averages, integrates the McClellan Oscillator for advance-decline analysis, and detects various breadth-based signals such as thrusts, divergences, and trend changes. The indicator is displayed in a separate pane and provides visual cues, a summary label with tooltip, and alert conditions to highlight potential market conditions.
The tool uses data symbols like S5FI (percentage above 50-day MA), S5TH (percentage above 200-day MA), ADVN/DECN (S&P advances/declines), and optionally NYSE advances/declines for certain calculations. If primary data is unavailable, it falls back to calculated breadth from advance-decline ratios.
This indicator is intended for educational and analytical purposes to help users observe market internals. My intention was to pack in one indicator things you will only find in a few. It does not provide trading signals as financial advice, and users are encouraged to use it in conjunction with their own research and risk management strategies. No performance guarantees are implied, and historical patterns may not predict future market behavior.

Hover tooltip provides detailed breakdown: action priority, breadth metrics, McClellan status, momentum/trend, market state, active signals, data quality, thresholds, recent changes, and a general recommendation category.
Calculations and Logic
Breadth Percentages: Derived from S5FI/S5TH or calculated from advances/(advances + declines) * 100, with fallback adjustments.
McClellan Oscillator: Difference between fast (default 19) and slow (default 39) EMAs of net advances (advances - declines).
Momentum: 10-day change in 50-day MA breadth percentage.
Trend Analysis: Counts consecutive rising days in breadth to detect upward trends.
Breadth Thrust (Zweig): 10-day EMA of advances/total issues crossing from below a bottom level (default 40) to above a top level (default 61.5). Can use S&P or NYSE data.
Divergences: Compares S&P 500 price highs/lows with breadth or McClellan over a lookback period (default 20) to detect positive (bullish) or negative (bearish) divergences.
Market States: Determined by breadth levels relative to thresholds, trend direction, and McClellan conditions (e.g., strong bullish if above green threshold, rising, and McClellan supportive).
Actions: Prioritized logic (0-10) selects an action like "BUY" or "AVOID LONGS" based on signals, states, and conditions. Higher priority (e.g., capitulation at 10) overrides lower ones.
Alerts: Triggered on new occurrences of key conditions, such as breadth thrust, divergences, state changes, etc.
Input Parameters
The indicator offers customization through grouped inputs, but the use of defaults is encouraged.
Usage Notes
Add the indicator to a chart of any symbol (though designed around S&P 500 data; works best on daily or higher timeframes). Monitor the label and tooltip for a consolidated view of conditions. Set up alerts for specific events.
This script relies on external security requests, which may have data availability issues on certain exchanges or timeframes. The fallback mechanism ensures continuity but may differ slightly from primary sources.

Martingale Strategy Simulator [BackQuant]Martingale Strategy Simulator
Purpose
This indicator lets you study how a martingale-style position sizing rule interacts with a simple long or short trading signal. It computes an equity curve from bar-to-bar returns, adapts position size after losing streaks, caps exposure at a user limit, and summarizes risk with portfolio metrics. An optional Monte Carlo module projects possible future equity paths from your realized daily returns.
What a martingale is
A martingale sizing rule increases stake after losses and resets after a win. In its classical form from gambling, you double the bet after each loss so that a single win recovers all prior losses plus one unit of profit. In markets there is no fixed “even-money” payout and returns are multiplicative, so an exact recovery guarantee does not exist. The core idea is unchanged:
Lose one leg → increase next position size
Lose again → increase again
Win → reset to the base size
The expectation of your strategy still depends on the signal’s edge. Sizing does not create positive expectancy on its own. A martingale raises variance and tail risk by concentrating more capital as a losing streak develops.
What it plots
Equity – simulated portfolio equity including compounding
Buy & Hold – equity from holding the chart symbol for context
Optional helpers – last trade outcome, current streak length, current allocation fraction
Optional diagnostics – daily portfolio return, rolling drawdown, metrics table
Optional Monte Carlo probability cone – p5, p16, p50, p84, p95 aggregate bands
Model assumptions
Bar-close execution with no slippage or commissions
Shorting allowed and frictionless
No margin interest, borrow fees, or position limits
No intrabar moves or gaps within a bar (returns are close-to-close)
Sizing applies to equity fraction only and is capped by your setting
All results are hypothetical and for education only.
How the simulator applies it
1) Directional signal
You pick a simple directional rule that produces +1 for long or −1 for short each bar. Options include 100 HMA slope, RSI above or below 50, EMA or SMA crosses, CCI and other oscillators, ATR move, BB basis, and more. The stance is evaluated bar by bar. When the stance flips, the current trade ends and the next one starts.
2) Sizing after losses and wins
Position size is a fraction of equity:
Initial allocation – the starting fraction, for example 0.15 means 15 percent of equity
Increase after loss – multiply the next allocation by your factor after a losing leg, for example 2.00 to double
Reset after win – return to the initial allocation
Max allocation cap – hard ceiling to prevent runaway growth
At a high level the size after k consecutive losses is
alloc(k) = min( cap , base × factor^k ) .
In practice the simulator changes size only when a leg ends and its PnL is known.
3) Equity update
Let r_t = close_t / close_{t-1} − 1 be the symbol’s bar return, d_{t−1} ∈ {+1, −1} the prior bar stance, and a_{t−1} the prior bar allocation fraction. The simulator compounds:
eq_t = eq_{t−1} × (1 + a_{t−1} × d_{t−1} × r_t) .
This is bar-based and avoids intrabar lookahead. Costs, slippage, and borrowing costs are not modeled.
Why traders experiment with martingale sizing
Mean-reversion contexts – if the signal often snaps back after a string of losses, adding size near the tail of a move can pull the average entry closer to the turn
Behavioral or microstructure edges – some rules have modest edge but frequent small whipsaws; size escalation may shorten time-to-recovery when the edge manifests
Exploration and stress testing – studying the relationship between streaks, caps, and drawdowns is instructive even if you do not deploy martingale sizing live
Why martingale is dangerous
Martingale concentrates capital when the strategy is performing worst. The main risks are structural, not cosmetic:
Loss streaks are inevitable – even with a 55 percent win rate you should expect multi-loss runs. The probability of at least one k-loss streak in N trades rises quickly with N.
Size explodes geometrically – with factor 2.0 and base 10 percent, the sequence is 10, 20, 40, 80, 100 (capped) after five losses. Without a strict cap, required size becomes infeasible.
No fixed payout – in gambling, one win at even odds resets PnL. In markets, there is no guaranteed bounce nor fixed profit multiple. Trends can extend and gaps can skip levels.
Correlation of losses – losses cluster in trends and in volatility bursts. A martingale tends to be largest just when volatility is highest.
Margin and liquidity constraints – leverage limits, margin calls, position limits, and widening spreads can force liquidation before a mean reversion occurs.
Fat tails and regime shifts – assumptions of independent, Gaussian returns can understate tail risk. Structural breaks can keep the signal wrong for much longer than expected.
The simulator exposes these dynamics in the equity curve, Max Drawdown, VaR and CVaR, and via Monte Carlo sketches of forward uncertainty.
Interpreting losing streaks with numbers
A rough intuition: if your per-trade win probability is p and loss probability is q=1−p , the chance of a specific run of k consecutive losses is q^k . Over many trades, the chance that at least one k-loss run occurs grows with the number of opportunities. As a sanity check:
If p=0.55 , then q=0.45 . A 6-loss run has probability q^6 ≈ 0.008 on any six-trade window. Across hundreds of trades, a 6 to 8-loss run is not rare.
If your size factor is 1.5 and your base is 10 percent, after 8 losses the requested size is 10% × 1.5^8 ≈ 25.6% . With factor 2.0 it would try to be 10% × 2^8 = 256% but your cap will stop it. The equity curve will still wear the compounded drawdown from the sequence that led to the cap.
This is why the cap setting is central. It does not remove tail risk, but it prevents the sizing rule from demanding impossible positions
Note: The p and q math is illustrative. In live data the win rate and distribution can drift over time, so real streaks can be longer or shorter than the simple q^k intuition suggests..
Using the simulator productively
Parameter studies
Start with conservative settings. Increase one element at a time and watch how the equity, Max Drawdown, and CVaR respond.
Initial allocation – lower base reduces volatility and drawdowns across the board
Increase factor – set modestly above 1.0 if you want the effect at all; doubling is aggressive
Max cap – the most important brake; many users keep it between 20 and 50 percent
Signal selection
Keep sizing fixed and rotate signals to see how streak patterns differ. Trend-following signals tend to produce long wrong-way streaks in choppy ranges. Mean-reversion signals do the opposite. Martingale sizing interacts very differently with each.
Diagnostics to watch
Use the built-in metrics to quantify risk:
Max Drawdown – worst peak-to-trough equity loss
Sharpe and Sortino – volatility and downside-adjusted return
VaR 95 percent and CVaR – tail risk measures from the realized distribution
Alpha and Beta – relationship to your chosen benchmark
If you would like to check out the original performance metrics script with multiple assets with a better explanation on all metrics please see
Monte Carlo exploration
When enabled, the forecast draws many synthetic paths from your realized daily returns:
Choose a horizon and a number of runs
Review the bands: p5 to p95 for a wide risk envelope; p16 to p84 for a narrower range; p50 as the median path
Use the table to read the expected return over the horizon and the tail outcomes
Remember it is a sketch based on your recent distribution, not a predictor
Concrete examples
Example A: Modest martingale
Base 10 percent, factor 1.25, cap 40 percent, RSI>50 signal. You will see small escalations on 2 to 4 loss runs and frequent resets. The equity curve usually remains smooth unless the signal enters a prolonged wrong-way regime. Max DD may rise moderately versus fixed sizing.
Example B: Aggressive martingale
Base 15 percent, factor 2.0, cap 60 percent, EMA cross signal. The curve can look stellar during favorable regimes, then a single extended streak pushes allocation to the cap, and a few more losses drive deep drawdown. CVaR and Max DD jump sharply. This is a textbook case of high tail risk.
Strengths
Bar-by-bar, transparent computation of equity from stance and size
Explicit handling of wins, losses, streaks, and caps
Portable signal inputs so you can A–B test ideas quickly
Risk diagnostics and forward uncertainty visualization in one place
Example, Rolling Max Drawdown
Limitations and important notes
Martingale sizing can escalate drawdowns rapidly. The cap limits position size but not the possibility of extended adverse runs.
No commissions, slippage, margin interest, borrow costs, or liquidity limits are modeled.
Signals are evaluated on closes. Real execution and fills will differ.
Monte Carlo assumes independent draws from your recent return distribution. Markets often have serial correlation, fat tails, and regime changes.
All results are hypothetical. Use this as an educational tool, not a production risk engine.
Practical tips
Prefer gentle factors such as 1.1 to 1.3. Doubling is usually excessive outside of toy examples.
Keep a strict cap. Many users cap between 20 and 40 percent of equity per leg.
Stress test with different start dates and subperiods. Long flat or trending regimes are where martingale weaknesses appear.
Compare to an anti-martingale (increase after wins, cut after losses) to understand the other side of the trade-off.
If you deploy sizing live, add external guardrails such as a daily loss cut, volatility filters, and a global max drawdown stop.

Final thoughts
A martingale is not a free lunch. It is a way to tilt capital allocation toward losing streaks. If the signal has a real edge and mean reversion is common, careful and capped escalation can reduce time-to-recovery. If the signal lacks edge or regimes shift, the same rule can magnify losses at the worst possible moment. This simulator makes those trade-offs visible so you can calibrate parameters, understand tail risk, and decide whether the approach belongs anywhere in your research workflow.
PnL Bubble [%] | Fractalyst1. What's the indicator purpose?
The PnL Bubble indicator transforms your strategy's trade PnL percentages into an interactive bubble chart with professional-grade statistics and performance analytics. It helps traders quickly assess system profitability, understand win/loss distribution patterns, identify outliers, and make data-driven strategy improvements.
How does it work?
Think of this indicator as a visual report card for your trading performance. Here's what it does:
What You See
Colorful Bubbles: Each bubble represents one of your trades
Blue/Cyan bubbles = Winning trades (you made money)
Red bubbles = Losing trades (you lost money)
Bigger bubbles = Bigger wins or losses
Smaller bubbles = Smaller wins or losses
How It Organizes Your Trades:
Like a Photo Album: Instead of showing all your trades at once (which would be messy), it shows them in "pages" of 500 trades each:
Page 1: Your first 500 trades
Page 2: Trades 501-1000
Page 3: Trades 1001-1500, etc.
What the Numbers Tell You:
Average Win: How much money you typically make on winning trades
Average Loss: How much money you typically lose on losing trades
Expected Value (EV): Whether your trading system makes money over time
Positive EV = Your system is profitable long-term
Negative EV = Your system loses money long-term
Payoff Ratio (R): How your average win compares to your average loss
R > 1 = Your wins are bigger than your losses
R < 1 = Your losses are bigger than your wins
Why This Matters:
At a Glance: You can instantly see if you're a profitable trader or not
Pattern Recognition: Spot if you have more big wins than big losses
Performance Tracking: Watch how your trading improves over time
Realistic Expectations: Understand what "average" performance looks like for your system
The Cool Visual Effects:
Animation: The bubbles glow and shimmer to make the chart more engaging
Highlighting: Your biggest wins and losses get extra attention with special effects
Tooltips: hover any bubble to see details about that specific trade.
What are the underlying calculations?
The indicator processes trade PnL data using a dual-matrix architecture for optimal performance:
Dual-Matrix System:
• Display Matrix (display_matrix): Bounded to 500 trades for rendering performance
• Statistics Matrix (stats_matrix): Unbounded storage for complete statistical accuracy
Trade Classification & Aggregation:
// Separate wins, losses, and break-even trades
if val > 0.0
pos_sum += val // Sum winning trades
pos_count += 1 // Count winning trades
else if val < 0.0
neg_sum += val // Sum losing trades
neg_count += 1 // Count losing trades
else
zero_count += 1 // Count break-even trades
Statistical Averages:
avg_win = pos_count > 0 ? pos_sum / pos_count : na
avg_loss = neg_count > 0 ? math.abs(neg_sum) / neg_count : na
Win/Loss Rates:
total_obs = pos_count + neg_count + zero_count
win_rate = pos_count / total_obs
loss_rate = neg_count / total_obs
Expected Value (EV):
ev_value = (avg_win × win_rate) - (avg_loss × loss_rate)
Payoff Ratio (R):
R = avg_win ÷ |avg_loss|
Contribution Analysis:
ev_pos_contrib = avg_win × win_rate // Positive EV contribution
ev_neg_contrib = avg_loss × loss_rate // Negative EV contribution
How to integrate with any trading strategy?
Equity Change Tracking Method:
//@version=6
strategy("Your Strategy with Equity Change Export", overlay=true)
float prev_trade_equity = na
float equity_change_pct = na
if barstate.isconfirmed and na(prev_trade_equity)
prev_trade_equity := strategy.equity
trade_just_closed = strategy.closedtrades != strategy.closedtrades
if trade_just_closed and not na(prev_trade_equity)
current_equity = strategy.equity
equity_change_pct := ((current_equity - prev_trade_equity) / prev_trade_equity) * 100
prev_trade_equity := current_equity
else
equity_change_pct := na
plot(equity_change_pct, "Equity Change %", display=display.data_window)
Integration Steps:
1. Add equity tracking code to your strategy
2. Load both strategy and PnL Bubble indicator on the same chart
3. In bubble indicator settings, select your strategy's equity tracking output as data source
4. Configure visualization preferences (colors, effects, page navigation)
How does the pagination system work?
The indicator uses an intelligent pagination system to handle large trade datasets efficiently:
Page Organization:
• Page 1: Trades 1-500 (most recent)
• Page 2: Trades 501-1000
• Page 3: Trades 1001-1500
• Page N: Trades to
Example: With 1,500 trades total (3 pages available):
• User selects Page 1: Shows trades 1-500
• User selects Page 4: Automatically falls back to Page 3 (trades 1001-1500)
5. Understanding the Visual Elements
Bubble Visualization:
• Color Coding: Cyan/blue gradients for wins, red gradients for losses
• Size Mapping: Bubble size proportional to trade magnitude (larger = bigger P&L)
• Priority Rendering: Largest trades displayed first to ensure visibility
• Gradient Effects: Color intensity increases with trade magnitude within each category
Interactive Tooltips:
Each bubble displays quantitative trade information:
tooltip_text = outcome + " | PnL: " + pnl_str +
"\nDate: " + date_str + " " + time_str +
"\nTrade #" + str.tostring(trade_number) + " (Page " + str.tostring(active_page) + ")" +
"\nRank: " + str.tostring(rank) + " of " + str.tostring(n_display_rows) +
"\nPercentile: " + str.tostring(percentile, "#.#") + "%" +
"\nMagnitude: " + str.tostring(magnitude_pct, "#.#") + "%"
Example Tooltip:
Win | PnL: +2.45%
Date: 2024.03.15 14:30
Trade #1,247 (Page 3)
Rank: 5 of 347
Percentile: 98.6%
Magnitude: 85.2%
Reference Lines & Statistics:
• Average Win Line: Horizontal reference showing typical winning trade size
• Average Loss Line: Horizontal reference showing typical losing trade size
• Zero Line: Threshold separating wins from losses
• Statistical Labels: EV, R-Ratio, and contribution analysis displayed on chart
What do the statistical metrics mean?
Expected Value (EV):
Represents the mathematical expectation per trade in percentage terms
EV = (Average Win × Win Rate) - (Average Loss × Loss Rate)
Interpretation:
• EV > 0: Profitable system with positive mathematical expectation
• EV = 0: Break-even system, profitability depends on execution
• EV < 0: Unprofitable system with negative mathematical expectation
Example: EV = +0.34% means you expect +0.34% profit per trade on average
Payoff Ratio (R):
Quantifies the risk-reward relationship of your trading system
R = Average Win ÷ |Average Loss|
Interpretation:
• R > 1.0: Wins are larger than losses on average (favorable risk-reward)
• R = 1.0: Wins and losses are equal in magnitude
• R < 1.0: Losses are larger than wins on average (unfavorable risk-reward)
Example: R = 1.5 means your average win is 50% larger than your average loss
Contribution Analysis (Σ):
Breaks down the components of expected value
Positive Contribution (Σ+) = Average Win × Win Rate
Negative Contribution (Σ-) = Average Loss × Loss Rate
Purpose:
• Shows how much wins contribute to overall expectancy
• Shows how much losses detract from overall expectancy
• Net EV = Σ+ - Σ- (Expected Value per trade)
Example: Σ+: 1.23% means wins contribute +1.23% to expectancy
Example: Σ-: -0.89% means losses drag expectancy by -0.89%
Win/Loss Rates:
Win Rate = Count(Wins) ÷ Total Trades
Loss Rate = Count(Losses) ÷ Total Trades
Shows the probability of winning vs losing trades
Higher win rates don't guarantee profitability if average losses exceed average wins
7. Demo Mode & Synthetic Data Generation
When using built-in sources (close, open, etc.), the indicator generates realistic demo trades for testing:
if isBuiltInSource(source_data)
// Generate random trade outcomes with realistic distribution
u_sign = prand(float(time), float(bar_index))
if u_sign < 0.5
v_push := -1.0 // Loss trade
else
// Skewed distribution favoring smaller wins (realistic)
u_mag = prand(float(time) + 9876.543, float(bar_index) + 321.0)
k = 8.0 // Skewness factor
t = math.pow(u_mag, k)
v_push := 2.5 + t * 8.0 // Win trade

Disclaimer & Risk Considerations:
Important: Historical performance metrics, including positive Expected Value (EV), do not guarantee future trading success. Statistical measures are derived from finite sample data and subject to inherent limitations:
• Sample Bias: Historical data may not represent future market conditions or regime changes
• Ergodicity Assumption: Markets are non-stationary; past statistical relationships may break down
• Survivorship Bias: Strategies showing positive historical EV may fail during different market cycles
• Parameter Instability: Optimal parameters identified in backtesting often degrade in forward testing
• Transaction Cost Evolution: Slippage, spreads, and commission structures change over time
• Behavioral Factors: Live trading introduces psychological elements absent in backtesting
• Black Swan Events: Extreme market events can invalidate statistical assumptions instantaneously
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.
Advanced Range Analyzer ProAdvanced Range Analyzer Pro – Adaptive Range Detection & Breakout Forecasting
Overview
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro is a comprehensive trading tool designed to help traders identify consolidations, evaluate their strength, and forecast potential breakout direction. By combining volatility-adjusted thresholds, volume distribution analysis, and historical breakout behavior, the indicator builds an adaptive framework for navigating sideways price action. Instead of treating ranges as noise, this system transforms them into opportunities for mean reversion or breakout trading.
How It Works
The indicator continuously scans price action to identify active range environments. Ranges are defined by volatility compression, repeated boundary interactions, and clustering of volume near equilibrium. Once detected, the indicator assigns a strength score (0–100), which quantifies how well-defined and compressed the consolidation is.
Breakout probabilities are then calculated by factoring in:
Relative time spent near the upper vs. lower range boundaries
Historical breakout tendencies for similar structures
Volume distribution inside the range
Momentum alignment using auxiliary filters (RSI/MACD)
This creates a live probability forecast that updates as price evolves. The tool also supports range memory, allowing traders to analyze the last completed range after a breakout has occurred. A dynamic strength meter is displayed directly above each consolidation range, providing real-time insight into range compression and breakout potential.
Signals and Breakouts
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro includes a structured set of visual tools to highlight actionable conditions:
Range Zones – Gradient-filled boxes highlight active consolidations.
Strength Meter – A live score displayed in the dashboard quantifies compression.
Breakout Labels – Probability percentages show bias toward bullish or bearish continuation.
Breakout Highlights – When a breakout occurs, the range is marked with directional confirmation.
Dashboard Table – Displays current status, strength, live/last range mode, and probabilities.
These elements update in real time, ensuring that traders always see the current state of consolidation and breakout risk.
Interpretation
Range Strength : High scores (70–100) indicate strong consolidations likely to resolve explosively, while low scores suggest weak or choppy ranges prone to false signals.
Breakout Probability : Directional bias greater than 60% suggests meaningful breakout pressure. Equal probabilities indicate balanced compression, favoring mean-reversion strategies.
Market Context : Ranges aligned with higher timeframe trends often resolve in the dominant direction, while counter-trend ranges may lead to reversals or liquidity sweeps.
Volatility Insight : Tight ranges with low ATR imply imminent expansion; wide ranges signal extended consolidation or distribution phases.
Strategy Integration
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro can be applied across multiple trading styles:
Breakout Trading : Enter on probability shifts above 60% with confirmation of volume or momentum.
Mean Reversion : Trade inside ranges with high strength scores by fading boundaries and targeting equilibrium.
Trend Continuation : Focus on ranges that form mid-trend, anticipating continuation after consolidation.
Liquidity Sweeps : Use failed breakouts at boundaries to capture reversals.
Multi-Timeframe : Apply on higher timeframes to frame market context, then execute on lower timeframes.
Advanced Techniques
Combine with volume profiles to identify areas of institutional positioning within ranges.
Track sequences of strong consolidations for trend development or exhaustion signals.
Use breakout probability shifts in conjunction with order flow or momentum indicators to refine entries.
Monitor expanding/contracting range widths to anticipate volatility cycles.
Custom parameters allow fine-tuning sensitivity for different assets (crypto, forex, equities) and trading styles (scalping, intraday, swing).
Inputs and Customization
Range Detection Sensitivity : Controls how strictly ranges are defined.
Strength Score Settings : Adjust weighting of compression, volume, and breakout memory.
Probability Forecasting : Enable/disable directional bias and thresholds.
Gradient & Fill Options : Customize range visualization colors and opacity.
Dashboard Display : Toggle live vs last range, info table size, and position.
Breakout Highlighting : Choose border/zone emphasis on breakout events.
Why Use Advanced Range Analyzer Pro
This indicator provides a data-driven approach to trading consolidation phases, one of the most common yet underutilized market states. By quantifying range strength, mapping probability forecasts, and visually presenting risk zones, it transforms uncertainty into clarity.
Whether you’re trading breakouts, fading ranges, or mapping higher timeframe context, Advanced Range Analyzer Pro delivers a structured, adaptive framework that integrates seamlessly into multiple strategies.
Volume Heat ZoneVolume Zones Indicator
This Pine Script creates a volume-based zone analysis tool for TradingView.
Function:
Divides the price range (high to low) into 20 levels over a 100-candle lookback period
Measures volume activity at each price level
Draws boxes at levels with above-average volume (1.5x threshold)
Key Settings:
Lookback Period (100): Number of candles analyzed
Price Levels (20): Price range subdivisions
Volume Threshold (1.5): Minimum volume multiplier for zones
Candle Offset (1): Excludes current candle from analysis
Projection Bars (10): Extends boxes 10 bars into the future
How it works:
The indicator identifies price levels where significant trading volume occurred historically, highlighting potential support/resistance zones. Boxes are redrawn on each confirmed candle, showing dynamic volume concentration areas that traders can use for entry/exit decisions.
Adaptive Rolling Quantile Bands [CHE] Adaptive Rolling Quantile Bands
Part 1 — Mathematics and Algorithmic Design
Purpose. The indicator estimates distribution‐aware price levels from a rolling window and turns them into dynamic “buy” and “sell” bands. It can work on raw price or on *residuals* around a baseline to better isolate deviations from trend. Optionally, the percentile parameter $q$ adapts to volatility via ATR so the bands widen in turbulent regimes and tighten in calm ones. A compact, latched state machine converts these statistical levels into high-quality discretionary signals.
Data pipeline.
1. Choose a source (default `close`; MTF optional via `request.security`).
2. Optionally compute a baseline (`SMA` or `EMA`) of length $L$.
3. Build the *working series*: raw price if residual mode is off; otherwise price minus baseline (if a baseline exists).
4. Maintain a FIFO buffer of the last $N$ values (window length). All quantiles are computed on this buffer.
5. Map the resulting levels back to price space if residual mode is on (i.e., add back the baseline).
6. Smooth levels with a short EMA for readability.
Rolling quantiles.
Given the buffer $X_{t-N+1..t}$ and a percentile $q\in $, the indicator sorts a copy of the buffer ascending and linearly interpolates between adjacent ranks to estimate:
* Buy band $\approx Q(q)$
* Sell band $\approx Q(1-q)$
* Median $Q(0.5)$, plus optional deciles $Q(0.10)$ and $Q(0.90)$
Quantiles are robust to outliers relative to means. The estimator uses only data up to the current bar’s value in the buffer; there is no look-ahead.
Residual transform (optional).
In residual mode, quantiles are computed on $X^{res}_t = \text{price}_t - \text{baseline}_t$. This centers the distribution and often yields more stationary tails. After computing $Q(\cdot)$ on residuals, levels are transformed back to price space by adding the baseline. If `Baseline = None`, residual mode simply falls back to raw price.
Volatility-adaptive percentile.
Let $\text{ATR}_{14}(t)$ be current ATR and $\overline{\text{ATR}}_{100}(t)$ its long SMA. Define a volatility ratio $r = \text{ATR}_{14}/\overline{\text{ATR}}_{100}$. The effective quantile is:
Smoothing.
Each level is optionally smoothed by an EMA of length $k$ for cleaner visuals. This smoothing does not change the underlying quantile logic; it only stabilizes plots and signals.
Latched state machines.
Two three-step processes convert levels into “latched” signals that only fire after confirmation and then reset:
* BUY latch:
(1) HLC3 crosses above the median →
(2) the median is rising →
(3) HLC3 prints above the upper (orange) band → BUY latched.
* SELL latch:
(1) HLC3 crosses below the median →
(2) the median is falling →
(3) HLC3 prints below the lower (teal) band → SELL latched.
Labels are drawn on the latch bar, with a FIFO cap to limit clutter. Alerts are available for both the simple band interactions and the latched events. Use “Once per bar close” to avoid intrabar churn.
MTF behavior and repainting.
MTF sourcing uses `lookahead_off`. Quantiles and baselines are computed from completed data only; however, any *intrabar* cross conditions naturally stabilize at close. As with all real-time indicators, values can update during a live bar; prefer bar-close alerts for reliability.
Complexity and parameters.
Each bar sorts a copy of the $N$-length window (practical $N$ values keep this inexpensive). Typical choices: $N=50$–$100$, $q_0=0.15$–$0.25$, $k=2$–$5$, baseline length $L=20$ (if used), adaptation strength $s=0.2$–$0.7$.
Part 2 — Practical Use for Discretionary/Active Traders
What the bands mean in practice.
The teal “buy” band marks the lower tail of the recent distribution; the orange “sell” band marks the upper tail. The median is your dynamic equilibrium. In residual mode, these tails are deviations around trend; in raw mode they are absolute price percentiles. When ATR adaptation is on, tails breathe with regime shifts.
Two core playbooks.
1. Mean-reversion around a stable median.
* Context: The median is flat or gently sloped; band width is relatively tight; instrument is ranging.
* Entry (long): Look for price to probe or close below the buy band and then reclaim it, especially after HLC3 recrosses the median and the median turns up.
* Stops: Place beyond the most recent swing low or $1.0–1.5\times$ ATR(14) below entry.
* Targets: First scale at the median; optional second scale near the opposite band. Trail with the median or an ATR stop.
* Symmetry: Mirror the rules for shorts near the sell band when the median is flat to down.
2. Continuation with latched confirmations.
* Context: A developing trend where you want fewer but cleaner signals.
* Entry (long): Take the latched BUY (3-step confirmation) on close, or on the next bar if you require bar-close validation.
* Invalidation: A close back below the median (or below the lower band in strong trends) negates momentum.
* Exits: Trail under the median for conservative exits or under the teal band for trend-following exits. Consider scaling at structure (prior swing highs) or at a fixed $R$ multiple.
Parameter guidance by timeframe.
* Scalping / LTF (1–5m): $N=30$–$60$, $q_0=0.20$, $k=2$–3, residual mode on, baseline EMA $L=20$, adaptation $s=0.5$–0.7 to handle micro-vol spikes. Expect more signals; rely on latched logic to filter noise.
* Intraday swing (15–60m): $N=60$–$100$, $q_0=0.15$–0.20, $k=3$–4. Residual mode helps but is optional if the instrument trends cleanly. $s=0.3$–0.6.
* Swing / HTF (4H–D): $N=80$–$150$, $q_0=0.10$–0.18, $k=3$–5. Consider `SMA` baseline for smoother residuals and moderate adaptation $s=0.2$–0.4.
Baseline choice.
Use EMA for responsiveness (fast trend shifts) and SMA for stability (smoother residuals). Turning residual mode on is advantageous when price exhibits persistent drift; turning it off is useful when you explicitly want absolute bands.
How to time entries.
Prefer bar-close validation for both band recaptures and latched signals. If you must act intrabar, accept that crosses can “un-cross” before close; compensate with tighter stops or reduced size.
Risk management.
Position size to a fixed fractional risk per trade (e.g., 0.5–1.0% of equity). Define invalidation using structure (swing points) plus ATR. Avoid chasing when distance to the opposite band is small; reward-to-risk degrades rapidly once you are deep inside the distribution.
Combos and filters.
* Pair with a higher-timeframe median slope as a regime filter (trade only in the direction of the HTF median).
* Use band width relative to ATR as a range/trend gauge: unusually narrow bands suggest compression (mean-reversion bias); expanding bands suggest breakout potential (favor latched continuation).
* Volume or session filters (e.g., avoid illiquid hours) can materially improve execution.
Alerts for discretion.
Enable “Cross above Buy Level” / “Cross below Sell Level” for early notices and “Latched BUY/SELL” for conviction entries. Set alerts to “Once per bar close” to avoid noise.
Common pitfalls.
Do not interpret band touches as automatic signals; context matters. A strong trend will often ride the far band (“band walking”) and punish counter-trend fades—use the median slope and latched logic to separate trend from range. Do not oversmooth levels; you will lag breaks. Do not set $q$ too small or too large; extremes reduce statistical meaning and practical distance for stops.
A concise checklist.
1. Is the median flat (range) or sloped (trend)?
2. Is band width expanding or contracting vs ATR?
3. Are we near the tail level aligned with the intended trade?
4. For continuation: did the 3 steps for a latched signal complete?
5. Do stops and targets produce acceptable $R$ (≥1.5–2.0)?
6. Are you trading during liquid hours for the instrument?
Summary. ARQB provides statistically grounded, regime-aware bands and a disciplined, latched confirmation engine. Use the bands as objective context, the median as your equilibrium line, ATR adaptation to stay calibrated across regimes, and the latched logic to time higher-quality discretionary entries.

Fear & Greed Oscillator — LEAP Puts (v6, manual DMI/ADX)Fear & Greed Oscillator — LEAP Puts (v6, manual DMI/ADX) is a Puts-focused mirror of the Calls version, built to flag top risk and momentum rollovers for timing LEAP Put entries. It outputs a smoothed composite from −100 to +100 using slower MACD, manual DMI/ADX (Wilder), RSI and Stoch RSI extremes, OBV distribution vs. accumulation, and volume spike & direction, with optional Put/Call Ratio and IV Rank inputs. All thresholds, weights, and smoothing match the Calls script for 1:1 customization, and a component table shows what’s driving the score. Reading is simple: higher values = rising top-risk (red shading above “Top-Risk”); lower values = deep dip / bounce risk (green shading). Built-in alerts cover Top-Risk, Deep Dip, and zero-line crosses for clear, actionable cues.
LEAP Put Edge — Top Risk Oscillator (v6, divergences + HTF)Pinpoint market tops with precision — a composite oscillator built to spot exhaustion, bearish divergences, and high-probability LEAP Put entry zones.
The LEAP Put Edge — Top Risk Oscillator is designed specifically to help identify high-probability entry points for long-dated Put options (LEAPs) by highlighting exhaustion at market tops. Unlike generic overbought/oversold tools, it combines slower MACD and DMI/ADX for trend quality, RSI and Stochastic RSI for momentum extremes, volume spike and upper-wick exhaustion signals for capitulation risk, and optional bearish divergences in RSI and MACD to confirm weakening strength. The output is a smoothed composite score scaled from -100 to +100, where higher values indicate rising top-risk and bearish edge conditions. Clear thresholds, color-coded plots, and built-in alerts make it straightforward and practical for traders seeking simple, actionable signals to time Put entries with confidence.
Aroon ADX/DIUnified trend-strength (ADX/DI) + trend-age (Aroon) with centered scaling, gated signals, regime tints, and a compact readout.
What is different about this script:
- Purpose-built mashup of ADX/DI tells trend strength and side, while Aroon Oscillator tracks trend emergence/aging. Combining them into a scaled chart creates a way to separate “strong-but-late” trends from “newly-emerging” ones.
- Unified scale: Centering the maps into a common +/- 100 range so all lines are directly comparable at a glance (no units mismatch or fumbling with scales).
- Signal quality gating: DI cross signals can be gated by minimum ADX so crosses in chop are filtered out.
- Regime context: Background tints show low-strength chop, developing, and strong regimes using your ADX thresholds.
- Operator-focused UI: Clean fills, color-blind palette, and a two-column table summarizing DI+, DI−, ADX, Aroon, and a plain-English Bias/Trend status.
How it works:
- DI+/DI−/ADX: Wilder’s DI is smoothed; DX → ADX via SMA smoothing.
- Aroon Oscillator: highlights new highs/lows frequency to infer trend
- Centering: Maps DI/ADX from 5-95 and ±100, with your Midpoint controlling where “0” sits in raw mode.
- Signals:
- Bullish/Bearish DI crosses, optionally allowed only when ADX ≥ Min.
- ADX crosses of your Low/High thresholds.
- Aroon crosses of 0, +80, −80 (fresh trend thresholds).
- Display aids: Optional fill between DI+/DI−; thin guides for thresholds; single-pane table summary.
How to use:
- For this to be useful, centering should stay on, modify ADX Low/High and monitor DI crosses with ADX.
- Interpretations:
Bias: DI+ above DI− = bull; below = bear.
Strength level: ADX < Low = chop, Low–High = developing, > High = strong.
Freshness: Aroon > +80 or crossing up 0 suggests new or continued bull push; < −80 or crossing down 0 suggests new or continued bear push.
- Alerts: Use built-ins for DI crosses, ADX regime changes, and Aroon thresholds.
Fear & Greed Oscillator — LEAPs (v6, manual DMI/ADX)Fear & Greed Oscillator for LEAPs — a composite sentiment/trend tool that highlights long-term fear/greed extremes and trend quality for better LEAP entries and exits.
This custom Fear & Greed Oscillator (FGO-LEAP) is designed for swing trades and long-term LEAP option entries. It blends multiple signals — MACD (trend), ADX/DMI (trend quality), OBV (accumulation/distribution), RSI & Stoch RSI (momentum), and volume spikes — into a single score that ranges from –100 (extreme fear) to +100 (extreme greed). The weights are tuned for LEAPs, emphasizing slower trend and accumulation signals rather than short-term noise.
Use Weekly charts for the main signal and Daily only for entry timing. Entries are strongest when the score is above zero and rising, with both MACD and DMI positive. Extreme Fear (< –60) can mark long-term bottoms when followed by a recovery, while Extreme Greed (> +60) often signals overheated conditions. A cross below zero is an early warning to reduce or roll positions.
Donchian Squeeze Oscillator# Donchian Squeeze Oscillator (DSO) - User Guide
## Overview
The Donchian Squeeze Oscillator is a technical indicator designed to identify periods of low volatility (squeeze) and high volatility (expansion) in financial markets by measuring the distance between Donchian Channel bands. The indicator normalizes this measurement to a 0-100 scale, making it easy to interpret across different timeframes and instruments.
## How It Works
The DSO calculates the width of Donchian Channels as a percentage of the middle line, smooths this data, and then normalizes it using historical highs and lows over a specified lookback period. The result is inverted so that:
- **High values (80+)** = Narrow channels = Low volatility = Squeeze
- **Low values (20-)** = Wide channels = High volatility = Expansion
## Key Parameters
### Core Settings
- **Donchian Channel Period (20)**: The number of bars used to calculate the highest high and lowest low for the Donchian Channels
- **Smoothing Period (5)**: Applies moving average smoothing to reduce noise in the oscillator
- **Normalization Lookback (200)**: Historical period used to normalize the oscillator between 0-100
### Threshold Levels
- **Over Squeeze (80)**: Values above this level indicate strong squeeze conditions
- **Over Expansion (20)**: Values below this level indicate strong expansion conditions
## Reading the Indicator
### Color Coding
- **Red Line**: Squeeze condition (above 80 threshold) - Markets are consolidating
- **Orange Line**: Neutral/trending condition with upward momentum
- **Green Line**: Expansion condition or downward momentum
### Visual Elements
- **Red Dashed Line (80)**: Squeeze threshold - potential breakout zone
- **Gray Dotted Line (50)**: Middle line - neutral zone
- **Green Dashed Line (20)**: Expansion threshold - high volatility zone
- **Red Background**: Highlights active squeeze periods
## Trading Applications
### 1. Breakout Trading
- **Setup**: Wait for DSO to reach 80+ (squeeze zone)
- **Entry**: Look for breakouts when DSO starts declining from squeeze levels
- **Logic**: Prolonged low volatility often precedes significant price movements
### 2. Volatility Cycle Trading
- **Squeeze Phase**: DSO > 80 - Prepare for potential breakout
- **Breakout Phase**: DSO declining from 80 - Trade the direction of breakout
- **Expansion Phase**: DSO < 20 - Expect trend continuation or reversal
### 3. Trend Confirmation
- **Orange Color**: Suggests bullish momentum during expansion
- **Green Color**: Suggests bearish momentum or consolidation
- Use in conjunction with price action for trend confirmation
## Best Practices
### Timeframe Selection
- **Higher Timeframes (Daily, 4H)**: More reliable signals, fewer false breakouts
- **Lower Timeframes (1H, 15M)**: More frequent signals but higher noise
- **Multi-timeframe Analysis**: Confirm squeeze on higher TF, enter on lower TF
### Parameter Optimization
- **Volatile Markets**: Increase Donchian period (25-30) and smoothing (7-10)
- **Range-bound Markets**: Decrease Donchian period (15-20) for more sensitivity
- **Trending Markets**: Use longer normalization lookback (300-400)
### Signal Confirmation
Always combine DSO signals with:
- **Price Action**: Support/resistance levels, chart patterns
- **Volume**: Confirm breakouts with increasing volume
- **Other Indicators**: RSI, MACD, or momentum oscillators
## Alert System
The indicator includes built-in alerts for:
- **Squeeze Started**: When DSO crosses above the squeeze threshold
- **Expansion Started**: When DSO crosses below the expansion threshold
## Common Pitfalls to Avoid
1. **False Breakouts**: Don't trade every squeeze - wait for confirmation
2. **Parameter Over-optimization**: Stick to default settings initially
3. **Ignoring Market Context**: Consider overall market conditions and news
4. **Single Indicator Reliance**: Always use additional confirmation tools
## Advanced Tips
- Monitor squeeze duration - longer squeezes often lead to bigger moves
- Look for squeeze patterns at key support/resistance levels
- Use DSO divergences with price for potential reversal signals
- Combine with Bollinger Band squeezes for enhanced accuracy
## Conclusion
The Donchian Squeeze Oscillator is a powerful tool for identifying volatility cycles and potential breakout opportunities. Like all technical indicators, it should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy rather than as a standalone signal generator. Practice with the indicator on historical data before implementing it in live trading to understand its behavior in different market conditions.
BPS Multi-MA 5 — 22/30, SMA/WMA/EMA# Multi-MA 5 — 22/30 base, SMA/WMA/EMA
**What it is**
A lightweight 5-line moving-average ribbon for fast visual bias and trend/mean-reversion reads. You can switch the MA type (SMA/WMA/EMA) and choose between two ways of setting lengths: by monthly “session-based” base (22 or 30) with multipliers, or by entering exact lengths manually. An optional info table shows the effective settings in real time.
---
## How it works
* Calculates five moving averages from the selected price source.
* Lengths are either:
* **Multipliers mode:** `Base × Multiplier` (e.g., base 22 → 22/44/66/88/110), or
* **Manual mode:** any five exact lengths (e.g., 10/22/50/100/200).
* Plots five lines with fixed legend titles (MA1…MA5); the **info table** displays the actual type and lengths.
---
## Inputs
**Length Mode**
* **Multipliers** — choose a **Base** of **22** (≈ trading sessions per month) or **30** (calendar-style, smoother) and set **×1…×5** multipliers.
* **Manual** — enter **Len1…Len5** directly.
**MA Settings**
* **MA Type:** SMA / WMA / EMA
* **Source:** any series (e.g., `close`, `hlc3`, etc.)
* **Use true close (ignore Heikin Ashi):** when enabled, the MA is computed from the underlying instrument’s real `close`, not HA candles.
* **Show info table:** toggles the on-chart table with the current mode, type, base, and lengths.
---
## Quick start
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Pick **MA Type** (e.g., **WMA** for faster response, **SMA** for smoother).
3. Choose **Length Mode**:
* **Multipliers:** set **Base = 22** for session-based monthly lengths (stocks/FX), or **30** for heavier smoothing.
* **Manual:** enter your exact lengths (e.g., 10/22/50/100/200).
4. (Optional) On **Heikin Ashi** charts, enable **Use true close** if you want the lines based on the instrument’s real close.
---
## Tips & notes
* **1 month ≈ 21–22 sessions.** Using 30 as “monthly” yields a smoother, more delayed curve.
* **WMA** reacts faster than **SMA** at the same length; expect earlier signals but more whipsaws in chop.
* **Len = 1** makes the MA track the chosen source (e.g., `close`) almost exactly.
* If changing lengths doesn’t move the lines, ensure you’re editing fields for the **active Length Mode** (Multipliers vs Manual).
* For clean comparisons, use the **same timeframe**. If you later wrap this in MTF logic, keep `lookahead_off` and handle gaps appropriately.
---
## Use cases
* Trend ribbon and dynamic bias zones
* Pullback entries to the mid/slow lines
* Crossovers (fast vs slow) for confirmation
* Volatility filtering by spreading lengths (e.g., 22/44/88/132/176)

**Credits:** Built for clarity and speed; designed around session-based “monthly” lengths (22) or smoother calendar-style (30).

Pivot Distance Strategy# Multi-Timeframe Pivot Distance Strategy
## Core Innovation & Originality
This strategy revolutionizes moving average crossover trading by applying MA logic to **pivot distance relationships** instead of raw price data. Unlike traditional MA crossovers that react to price changes, this system reacts to **structural momentum changes** in how current price relates to recent significant pivot levels, creating earlier signals with fewer false positives.
## Methodology & Mathematical Foundation
### Pivot Distance Oscillator
The strategy calculates:
- **High Pivot Percentage**: (Current Close / Last Pivot High) × 100
- **Low Pivot Percentage**: (Last Pivot Low / Current Close) × 100
- **Pivot Distance**: High Pivot Percentage - Low Pivot Percentage
This creates a standardized oscillator measuring market structure compression/expansion regardless of asset price or volatility.
### Multi-Timeframe Filter
Higher timeframe analysis provides directional bias:
- **HTF Long** → Allow long entries, force short exits
- **HTF Short** → Allow short entries, force long exits
- **HTF Squeeze** → Block all entries, force all exits
## Signal Generation Methods
### Method 1: Dual MA Crossover (Primary/Default)
**Fast MA (14 EMA)** and **Slow MA (50 SMA)** applied to pivot distance values:
- **Long Signal**: Fast MA crosses above Slow MA (accelerating bullish pivot momentum)
- **Short Signal**: Fast MA crosses below Slow MA (accelerating bearish pivot momentum)
**Key Advantage**:
- Traditional: Fast MA(price) crosses Slow MA(price) - reacts to price changes
- This Strategy: Fast MA(pivot distance) crosses Slow MA(pivot distance) - reacts to structural changes
- Result: Earlier signals, better trend identification, fewer ranging market whipsaws
### Method 2: MA Cross Zero
- **Long**: Pivot Distance MA crosses above zero
- **Short**: Pivot Distance MA crosses below zero
### Method 3: Pivot Distance Breakout (Squeeze-Based)
Uses dynamic threshold envelopes to detect compression/expansion cycles:
- **Long**: Distance breaks above dynamic breakout threshold after squeeze
- **Short**: Distance breaks below negative breakout threshold after squeeze
**Note**: Only the Breakout method uses threshold envelopes; MA Cross modes operate without them for cleaner signals.
## Risk Management Integration
- **ATR-Based Stops**: Entry ± (ATR × Multiplier) for stops/targets
- **Trailing Stops**: Dynamic adjustment based on profit thresholds
- **Cooldown System**: Prevents overtrading after stop-loss exits
## How to Use
### Setup (Default: MA Cross MA)
1. **Strategy Logic**: "MA Cross MA" for structural momentum signals
2. **MA Settings**: 14 EMA (fast) / 50 SMA (slow) - both adjustable
3. **Multi-Timeframe**: Enable HTF for trend alignment
4. **Risk Management**: ATR stop loss, ATR take profit
### Signal Interpretation
- **Blue/Purple lines**: Fast/Slow MAs of pivot distance
- **Green/Red histogram**: Positive/negative pivot distance
- **Triangle markers**: MA crossover entry signals
- **HTF display**: Shows higher timeframe bias (top-left)
### Trade Management
- **Entry**: Clean MA crossover with HTF alignment
- **Exit**: Opposite crossover, HTF change, or risk management triggers
## Unique Advantages
1. **Structural vs Price Momentum**: Captures market structure changes rather than just price movement, naturally filtering noise
2. **Multi-Modal Flexibility**: Three signal methods for different market conditions or strategies
3. **Timeframe Alignment**: HTF filtering improves win rates by preventing counter-trend trades
