Uptrick: Dynamic Z-Score DeviationOverview
Uptrick: Dynamic Z‑Score Deviation is a trading indicator built in Pine Script that combines statistical filters and adaptive smoothing to highlight potential reversal points in price action. It combines a hybrid moving average, dual Z‑Score analysis on both price and RSI, and visual enhancements like slope‑based coloring, ATR‑based shadow bands, and dynamically scaled reversal signals.
Introduction
Statistical indicators like Z‑Scores measure how far a value deviates from its average relative to the typical variation (standard deviation). Standard deviation quantifies how dispersed a set of values is around its mean. A Z‑Score of +2 indicates a value two standard deviations above the mean, while -2 is two below. Traders use Z‑Scores to spot unusually high or low readings that may signal overbought or oversold conditions.
Moving averages smooth out price data to reveal trends. The Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) reduces lag and noise through weighted averaging. A Zero‑Lag EMA (approximated here using a time‑shifted EMA) seeks to further minimize delay in following price. The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a momentum oscillator that measures recent gains against losses over a set period.
ATR (Average True Range) gauges market volatility by averaging the range between high and low over a lookback period. Shadow bands built using ATR give a visual mood of volatility around a central trend line. Together, these tools inform a dynamic but statistically grounded view of market extremes.
Purpose
The main goal of this indicator is to help traders spot short‑term reversal opportunities on lower timeframes. By requiring both price and momentum (RSI) to exhibit statistically significant deviations from their norms, it filters out weak setups and focuses on higher‑probability mean‑reversion zones. Reversal signals appear when price deviates far enough from its hybrid moving average and RSI deviates similarly in the same direction. This makes it suitable for discretionary traders seeking clean entry cues in volatile environments.
Originality and Uniqueness
Uptrick: Dynamic Z‑Score Deviation distinguishes itself from standard reversal or mean‑reversion tools by combining several elements into a single framework:
A composite moving average (ALMA + Zero‑Lag EMA) for a smooth yet responsive baseline
Dual Z‑Score filters on price and RSI rather than relying on a single measure
Adaptive visual elements, including slope‑aware coloring, multi‑layer ATR shadows, and signal sizing based on combined Z‑Score magnitude
Most indicators focus on one aspect—price envelopes or RSI thresholds—whereas Uptrick: Dynamic Z‑Score Deviation requires both layers to align before signaling. Its visual design aids quick interpretation without overwhelming the chart.
Why these indicators were merged
Every component in Uptrick: Dynamic Z‑Score Deviation has a purpose:
• ALMA: provides a smooth moving average with reduced lag and fewer false crossovers than a simple SMA or EMA.
• Zero‑Lag EMA (ZLMA approximation): further reduces the delay relative to price by applying a time shift to EMA inputs. This keeps the composite MA closer to current price action.
• RSI and its EMA filter: RSI measures momentum. Applying an EMA filter on RSI smooths out false spikes and confirms genuine overbought or oversold momentum.
• Dual Z‑Scores: computing Z‑Scores on both the distance between price and the composite MA, and on smoothed RSI, ensures that signals only fire when both price and momentum are unusually stretched.
• ATR bands: using ATR‑based shadow layers visualizes volatility around the MA, guiding traders on potential support and resistance zones.
At the end, these pieces merge into a single indicator that detects statistically significant mean reversions while staying adaptive to real‑time volatility and momentum.
Calculations
1. Compute ALMA over the chosen MA length, offset, and sigma.
2. Approximate ZLMA by applying EMA to twice the price minus the price shifted by the MA length.
3. Calculate the composite moving average as the average of ALMA and ZLMA.
4. Compute raw RSI and smooth it with ALMA. Apply an EMA filter to raw RSI to reduce noise.
5. For both price and smoothed RSI, calculate the mean and standard deviation over the Z‑Score lookback period.
6. Compute Z‑Scores:
• z_price = (current price − composite MA mean) / standard deviation of price deviations
• z_rsi = (smoothed RSI − mean RSI) / standard deviation of RSI
7. Determine reversal conditions: both Z‑Scores exceed their thresholds in the same direction, RSI EMA is in oversold/overbought zones (below 40 or above 60), and price movement confirms directionality.
8. Compute signal strength as the sum of the absolute Z‑Scores, then classify into weak, medium, or strong.
9. Calculate ATR over the chosen period and multiply by layer multipliers to form shadow widths.
10.Derive slope over the chosen slope length and color the MA line and bars based on direction, optionally smoothing color transitions via EMA on RGB channels.
How this indicator actually works
1. The script begins by smoothing price data with ALMA and approximating a zero‑lag EMA, then averaging them for the main MA.
2. RSI is calculated, then smoothed and filtered.
3. Using a rolling window, the script computes statistical measures for both price deviations and RSI.
4. Z‑Scores tell how far current values lie from their recent norms.
5. When both Z‑Scores cross configured thresholds and momentum conditions align, reversal signals are flagged.
6. Signals are drawn with size and color reflecting strength.
7. The MA is plotted with dynamic coloring; ATR shadows are layered beneath to show volatility envelopes.
8. Bars can be colored to match MA slope, reinforcing trend context.
9. Alert conditions allow automated notifications when signals occur.

Uptrick X PineIndicators: Z-Score Flow StrategyThis strategy is based on the Z-Score Flow Indicator developed by Uptrick. Full credit for the original concept and logic goes to Uptrick.
The Z-Score Flow Strategy combines statistical mean-reversion logic with trend filtering, RSI confirmation, and multi-mode trade execution, offering a flexible and structured approach to trading both reversals and trend continuations.
Core Concepts Behind Z-Score Flow
1. Z-Score Mean Reversion Logic
The Z-score measures how far current price deviates from its statistical mean, in standard deviations.
A high positive Z-score (e.g. > 2) suggests price is overbought and may revert downward.
A low negative Z-score (e.g. < -2) suggests price is oversold and may revert upward.
The strategy uses Z-score thresholds to trigger signals when price deviates far enough from its mean.
2. Trend Filtering with EMA
To prevent counter-trend entries, the strategy includes a trend filter based on a 50-period EMA:
Only allows long entries if price is below EMA (mean-reversion in downtrends).
Only allows short entries if price is above EMA (mean-reversion in uptrends).
3. RSI Confirmation and Lockout System
An RSI smoothing mechanism helps confirm signals and avoid whipsaws:
RSI must be below 30 and rising to allow buys.
RSI must be above 70 and falling to allow sells.
Once a signal occurs, it is "locked out" until RSI re-enters the neutral zone (30–70).
This avoids multiple signals in overextended zones and reduces overtrading.
Entry Signal Logic
A buy or sell is triggered when:
Z-score crosses below (buy) or above (sell) the threshold.
RSI smoothed condition is met (oversold and rising / overbought and falling).
The trend condition (EMA filter) aligns.
A cooldown period has passed since the last opposite trade.
This layered approach helps ensure signal quality and timing precision.
Trade Modes
The strategy includes three distinct trade modes to adapt to various market behaviors:
1. Standard Mode
Trades are opened using the Z-score + RSI + trend filter logic.
Each signal must pass all layered conditions.
2. Zero Cross Mode
Trades are based on the Z-score crossing zero.
This mode is useful in trend continuation setups, rather than mean reversion.
3. Trend Reversal Mode
Trades occur when the mean slope direction changes, i.e., basis line changes color.
Helps capture early trend shifts with less lag.
Each mode can be customized for long-only, short-only, or long & short execution.
Visual Components
1. Z-Score Mean Line
The basis (mean) line is colored based on slope direction.
Green = bullish slope, Purple = bearish slope, Gray = flat.
A wide shadow band underneath reflects current trend momentum.
2. Gradient Fill to Price
A gradient zone between price and the mean reflects:
Price above mean = bearish zone with purple overlay.
Price below mean = bullish zone with teal overlay.
This visual aid quickly reveals market positioning relative to equilibrium.
3. Signal Markers
"𝓤𝓹" labels appear for buy signals.
"𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷" labels appear for sell signals.
These are colored and positioned according to trend context.
Customization Options
Z-Score Period & Thresholds: Define sensitivity to price deviations.
EMA Trend Filter Length: Filter entries with long-term bias.
RSI & Smoothing Periods: Fine-tune RSI confirmation conditions.
Cooldown Period: Prevent signal spam and enforce timing gaps.
Slope Index: Adjust how far back to compare mean slope.
Visual Settings: Toggle mean lines, gradients, and more.
Use Cases & Strategy Strengths
1. Mean-Reversion Trading
Ideal for catching pullbacks in trending markets or fading overextended price moves.
2. Trend Continuation or Reversal
With multiple trade modes, traders can choose between fading price extremes or trading slope momentum.
3. Signal Clarity and Risk Control
The combination of Z-score, RSI, EMA trend, and cooldown logic provides high-confidence signals with built-in filters.
Conclusion
The Z-Score Flow Strategy by Uptrick X PineIndicators is a versatile and structured trading system that:
Fuses statistical deviation (Z-score) with technical filters.
Provides both mean-reversion and trend-based entry logic.
Uses visual overlays and signal labels for clarity.
Prevents noise-driven trades via cooldown and lockout systems.
This strategy is well-suited for traders seeking a data-driven, multi-condition entry framework that can adapt to various market types.

Uptrick: Z-Score FlowOverview
Uptrick: Z-Score Flow is a technical indicator that integrates trend-sensitive momentum analysi s with mean-reversion logic derived from Z-Score calculations. Its primary objective is to identify market conditions where price has either stretched too far from its mean (overbought or oversold) or sits at a statistically “normal” range, and then cross-reference this observation with trend direction and RSI-based momentum signals. The result is a more contextual approach to trade entry and exit, emphasizing precision, clarity, and adaptability across varying market regimes.
Introduction
Financial instruments frequently transition between trending modes, where price extends strongly in one direction, and ranging modes, where price oscillates around a central value. A simple statistical measure like Z-Score can highlight price extremes by comparing the current price against its historical mean and standard deviation. However, such extremes alone can be misleading if the broader market structure is trending forcefully. Uptrick: Z-Score Flow aims to solve this gap by combining Z-Score with an exponential moving average (EMA) trend filter and a smoothed RSI momentum check, thus filtering out signals that contradict the prevailing market environment.
Purpose
The purpose of this script is to help traders pinpoint both mean-reversion opportunities and trend-based pullbacks in a way that is statistically grounded yet still mindful of overarching price action. By pairing Z-Score thresholds with supportive conditions, the script reduces the likelihood of acting on random price spikes or dips and instead focuses on movements that are significant within both historical and current contextual frameworks.
Originality and Uniquness
Layered Signal Verification: Signals require the fulfillment of multiple layers (Z-Score extreme, EMA trend bias, and RSI momentum posture) rather than merely breaching a statistical threshold.
RSI Zone Lockout: Once RSI enters an overbought/oversold zone and triggers a signal, the script locks out subsequent signals until RSI recovers above or below those zones, limiting back-to-back triggers.
Controlled Cooldown: A dedicated cooldown mechanic ensures that the script waits a specified number of bars before issuing a new signal in the opposite direction.
Gradient-Based Visualization: Distinct gradient fills between price and the Z-Mean line enhance readability, showing at a glance whether price is trading above or below its statistical average.
Comprehensive Metrics Panel: An optional on-chart table summarizes the Z-Score’s key metrics, streamlining the process of verifying current statistical extremes, mean levels, and momentum directions.
Why these indicators were merged
Z-Score measurements excel at identifying when price deviates from its mean, but they do not intrinsically reveal whether the market’s trajectory supports a reversion or if price might continue along its trend. The EMA, commonly used for spotting trend directions, offers valuable insight into whether price is predominantly ascending or descending. However, relying solely on a trend filter overlooks the intensity of price moves. RSI then adds a dedicated measure of momentum, helping confirm if the market’s energy aligns with a potential reversal (for example, price is statistically low but RSI suggests looming upward momentum). By uniting these three lenses—Z-Score for statistical context, EMA for trend direction, and RSI for momentum force—the script offers a more comprehensive and adaptable system, aiming to avoid false positives caused by focusing on just one aspect of price behavior.
Calculations
The core calculation begins with a simple moving average (SMA) of price over zLen bars, referred to as the basis. Next, the script computes the standard deviation of price over the same window. Dividing the difference between the current price and the basis by this standard deviation produces the Z-Score, indicating how many standard deviations the price is from its mean. A positive Z-Score reveals price is above its average; a negative reading indicates the opposite.
To detect overall market direction, the script calculates an exponential moving average (emaTrend) over emaTrendLen bars. If price is above this EMA, the script deems the market bullish; if below, it’s considered bearish. For momentum confirmation, the script computes a standard RSI over rsiLen bars, then applies a smoothing EMA over rsiEmaLen bars. This smoothed RSI (rsiEma) is monitored for both its absolute level (oversold or overbought) and its slope (the difference between the current and previous value). Finally, slopeIndex determines how many bars back the script compares the basis to check whether the Z-Mean line is generally rising, falling, or flat, which then informs the coloring scheme on the chart.
Calculations and Rational
Simple Moving Average for Baseline: An SMA is used for the core mean because it places equal weight on each bar in the lookback period. This helps maintain a straightforward interpretation of overbought or oversold conditions in the context of a uniform historical average.
Standard Deviation for Volatility: Standard deviation measures the variability of the data around the mean. By dividing price’s difference from the mean by this value, the Z-Score can highlight whether price is unusually stretched given typical volatility.
Exponential Moving Average for Trend: Unlike an SMA, an EMA places more emphasis on recent data, reacting quicker to new price developments. This quicker response helps the script promptly identify trend shifts, which can be crucial for filtering out signals that go against a strong directional move.
RSI for Momentum Confirmation: RSI is an oscillator that gauges price movement strength by comparing average gains to average losses over a set period. By further smoothing this RSI with another EMA, short-lived oscillations become less influential, making signals more robust.
SlopeIndex for Slope-Based Coloring: To clarify whether the market’s central tendency is rising or falling, the script compares the basis now to its level slopeIndex bars ago. A higher current reading indicates an upward slope; a lower reading, a downward slope; and similar readings, a flat slope. This is visually represented on the chart, providing an immediate sense of the directionality.
Inputs
zLen (Z-Score Period)
Specifies how many bars to include for computing the SMA and standard deviation that form the basis of the Z-Score calculation. Larger values produce smoother but slower signals; smaller values catch quick changes but may generate noise.
emaTrendLen (EMA Trend Filter)
Sets the length of the EMA used to detect the market’s primary direction. This is pivotal for distinguishing whether signals should be considered (price aligning with an uptrend or downtrend) or filtered out.
rsiLen (RSI Length)
Defines the window for the initial RSI calculation. This RSI, when combined with the subsequent smoothing EMA, forms the foundation for momentum-based signal confirmations.
rsiEmaLen (EMA of RSI Period)
Applies an exponential moving average over the RSI readings for additional smoothing. This step helps mitigate rapid RSI fluctuations that might otherwise produce whipsaw signals.
zBuyLevel (Z-Score Buy Threshold)
Determines how negative the Z-Score must be for the script to consider a potential oversold signal. If the Z-Score dives below this threshold (and other criteria are met), a buy signal is generated.
zSellLevel (Z-Score Sell Threshold)
Determines how positive the Z-Score must be for a potential overbought signal. If the Z-Score surpasses this threshold (and other checks are satisfied), a sell signal is generated.
cooldownBars (Cooldown (Bars))
Enforces a bar-based delay between opposite signals. Once a buy signal has fired, the script must wait the specified number of bars before registering a new sell signal, and vice versa.
slopeIndex (Slope Sensitivity (Bars))
Specifies how many bars back the script compares the current basis for slope coloration. A bigger slopeIndex highlights larger directional trends, while a smaller number emphasizes shorter-term shifts.
showMeanLine (Show Z-Score Mean Line)
Enables or disables the plotting of the Z-Mean and its slope-based coloring. Traders who prefer minimal chart clutter may turn this off while still retaining signals.
Features
Statistical Core (Z-Score Detection):
This feature computes the Z-Score by taking the difference between the current price and the basis (SMA) and dividing by the standard deviation. In effect, it translates price fluctuations into a standardized measure that reveals how significant a move is relative to the typical variation seen over the lookback. When the Z-Score crosses predefined thresholds (zBuyLevel for oversold and zSellLevel for overbought), it signals that price could be at an extreme.
How It Works: On each bar, the script updates the SMA and standard deviation. The Z-Score is then refreshed accordingly. Traders can interpret particularly large negative or positive Z-Score values as scenarios where price is abnormally low or high.
EMA Trend Filter:
An EMA over emaTrendLen bars is used to classify the market as bullish if the price is above it and bearish if the price is below it. This classification is applied to the Z-Score signals, accepting them only when they align with the broader price direction.
How It Works: If the script detects a Z-Score below zBuyLevel, it further checks if price is actually in a downtrend (below EMA) before issuing a buy signal. This might seem counterintuitive, but a “downtrend” environment plus an oversold reading often signals a potential bounce or a mean-reversion play. Conversely, for sell signals, the script checks if the market is in an uptrend first. If it is, an overbought reading aligns with potential profit-taking.
RSI Momentum Confirmation with Oversold/Overbought Lockout:
RSI is calculated over rsiLen, then smoothed by an EMA over rsiEmaLen. If this smoothed RSI dips below a certain threshold (for example, 30) and then begins to slope upward, the indicator treats it as a potential sign of recovering momentum. Similarly, if RSI climbs above a certain threshold (for instance, 70) and starts to slope downward, that suggests dwindling momentum. Additionally, once RSI is in these zones, the indicator locks out repetitive signals until RSI fully exits and re-enters those extreme territories.
How It Works: Each bar, the script measures whether RSI has dropped below the oversold threshold (like 30) and has a positive slope. If it does, the buy side is considered “unlocked.” For sell signals, RSI must exceed an overbought threshold (70) and slope downward. The combination of threshold and slope helps confirm that a reversal is genuinely in progress instead of issuing signals while momentum remains weak or stuck in extremes.
Cooldown Mechanism:
The script features a custom bar-based cooldown that prevents issuing new signals in the opposite direction immediately after one is triggered. This helps avoid whipsaw situations where the market quickly flips from oversold to overbought or vice versa.
How It Works: When a buy signal fires, the indicator notes the bar index. If the Z-Score and RSI conditions later suggest a sell, the script compares the current bar index to the last buy signal’s bar index. If the difference is within cooldownBars, the signal is disallowed. This ensures a predefined “quiet period” before switching signals.
Slope-Based Coloring (Z-Mean Line and Shadow):
The script compares the current basis value to its value slopeIndex bars ago. A higher reading now indicates a generally upward slope, while a lower reading indicates a downward slope. The script then shades the Z-Mean line in a corresponding bullish or bearish color, or remains neutral if little change is detected.
How It Works: This slope calculation is refreshingly straightforward: basis – basis . If the result is positive, the line is colored bullish; if negative, it is colored bearish; if approximately zero, it remains neutral. This provides a quick visual cue of the medium-term directional bias.
Gradient Overlays:
With gradient fills, the script highlights where price stands in relation to the Z-Mean. When price is above the basis, a purple-shaded region is painted, visually indicating a “bearish zone” for potential overbought conditions. When price is below, a teal-like overlay is used, suggesting a “bullish zone” for potential oversold conditions.
How It Works: Each bar, the script checks if price is above or below the basis. It then applies a fill between close and basis, using distinct colors to show whether the market is trading above or below its mean. This creates an immediate sense of how extended the market might be.
Buy and Sell Labels (with Alerts):
When a legitimate buy or sell condition passes every check (Z-Score threshold, EMA trend alignment, RSI gating, and cooldown clearance), the script plots a corresponding label directly on the chart. It also fires an alert (if alerts are set up), making it convenient for traders who want timely notifications.
How It Works: If rawBuy or rawSell conditions are met (refined by RSI, EMA trend, and cooldown constraints), the script calls the respective plot function to paint an arrow label on the chart. Alerts are triggered simultaneously, carrying easily recognizable messages.
Metrics Table:
The optional on-chart table (activated by showMetrics) presents real-time Z-Score data, including the current Z-Score, its rolling mean, the maximum and minimum Z-Score values observed over the last zLen bars, a percentile position, and a short-term directional note (rising, falling, or flat).
Current – The present Z-Score reading
Mean – Average Z-Score over the zLen period
Min/Max – Lowest and highest Z-Score values within zLen
Position – Where the current Z-Score sits between the min and max (as a percentile)
Trend – Whether the Z-Score is increasing, decreasing, or flat
Conclusion
Uptrick: Z-Score Flow offers a versatile solution for traders who need a statistically informed perspective on price extremes combined with practical checks for overall trend and momentum. By leveraging a well-defined combination of Z-Score, EMA trend classification, RSI-based momentum gating, slope-based visualization, and a cooldown mechanic, the script reduces the occurrence of false or premature signals. Its gradient fills and optional metrics table contribute further clarity, ensuring that users can quickly assess market posture and make more confident trading decisions in real time.

Uptrick: Acceleration ShiftsIntroduction
Uptrick: Acceleration Shifts is designed to measure and visualize price momentum shifts by focusing on acceleration —the rate of change in velocity over time. It uses various moving average techniques as a trend filter, providing traders with a clearer perspective on market direction and potential trade entries or exits.
Purpose
The main goal of this indicator is to spot strong momentum changes (accelerations) and confirm them with a chosen trend filter. It attempts to distinguish genuine market moves from noise, helping traders make more informed decisions. The script can also trigger multiple entries (smart pyramiding) within the same trend, if desired.
Overview
By measuring how quickly price velocity changes (acceleration) and comparing it against a smoothed average of itself, this script generates buy or sell signals once the acceleration surpasses a given threshold. A trend filter is added for further validation. Users can choose from multiple smoothing methods and color schemes, and they can optionally enable a small table that displays real-time acceleration values.
Originality and Uniqueness
This script offers an acceleration-based approach, backed by several different moving average choices. The blend of acceleration thresholds, a trend filter, and an optional extra-entry (pyramiding) feature provides a flexible toolkit for various trading styles. The inclusion of multiple color themes and a slope-based coloring of the trend line adds clarity and user customization.
Inputs & Features
1. Acceleration Length (length)
This input determines the number of bars used when calculating velocity. Specifically, the script computes velocity by taking the difference in closing prices over length bars, and then calculates acceleration based on how that velocity changes over an additional length. The default is 14.
2. Trend Filter Length (smoothing)
This sets the lookback period for the chosen trend filter method. The default of 50 results in a moderately smooth trend line. A higher smoothing value will create a slower-moving trend filter.
3. Acceleration Threshold (threshold)
This multiplier determines when acceleration is considered strong enough to trigger a main buy or sell signal. A default value of 2.5 means the current acceleration must exceed 2.5 times the average acceleration before signaling.
4. Smart Pyramiding Strength (pyramidingThreshold)
This lower threshold is used for additional (pyramiding) entries once the main trend has already been identified. For instance, if set to 0.5, the script looks for acceleration crossing ±0.5 times its average acceleration to add extra positions.
5. Max Pyramiding Entries (maxPyramidingEntries)
This sets a limit on how many extra positions can be opened (beyond the first main signal) in a single directional trend. The default of 3 ensures traders do not become overexposed.
6. Show Acceleration Table (showTable)
When enabled, a small table displaying the current acceleration and its average is added to the top-right corner of the chart. This table helps monitor real-time momentum changes.
7. Smart Pyramiding (enablePyramiding)
This toggle decides whether additional entries (buy or sell) will be generated once a main signal is active. If enabled, these extra signals act as filtered entries, only firing when acceleration re-crosses a smaller threshold (pyramidingThreshold). These signals have a '+' next to their signal on the label.
8. Select Color Scheme (selectedColorScheme)
Allows choosing between various pre-coded color themes, such as Default, Emerald, Sapphire, Golden Blaze, Mystic, Monochrome, Pastel, Vibrant, Earth, or Neon. Each theme applies a distinct pair of colors for bullish and bearish conditions.
9. Trend Filter (TrendFilter)
Lets the user pick one of several moving average approaches to determine the prevailing trend. The options include:
Short Term (TEMA)
EWMA
Medium Term (HMA)
Classic (SMA)
Quick Reaction (DEMA)
Each method behaves differently, balancing reactivity and smoothness.
10. Slope Lookback (slopeOffset)
Used to measure the slope of the trend filter over a set number of bars (default is 10). This slope then influences the coloring of the trend filter line, indicating bullish or bearish tilt.
Note: The script refers to this as the "Massive Slope Index," but it effectively serves as a Trend Slope Calculation, measuring how the chosen trend filter changes over a specified period.
11. Alerts for Buy/Sell and Pyramiding Signals
The script includes built-in alert conditions that can be enabled or configured. These alerts trigger whenever the script detects a main Buy or Sell signal, as well as extra (pyramiding) signals if Smart Pyramiding is active. This feature allows traders to receive immediate notifications or automate a trading response.
Calculation Methodology
1. Velocity and Acceleration
Velocity is derived by subtracting the closing price from its value length bars ago. Acceleration is the difference in velocity over an additional length period. This highlights how quickly momentum is shifting.
2. Average Acceleration
The script smooths raw acceleration with a simple moving average (SMA) using the smoothing input. Comparing current acceleration against this average provides a threshold-based signal mechanism.
3. Trend Filter
Users can pick one of five moving average types to form a trend baseline. These range from quick-reacting methods (DEMA, TEMA) to smoother options (SMA, HMA, EWMA). The script checks whether the price is above or below this filter to confirm trend direction.
4. Buy/Sell Logic
A buy occurs when acceleration surpasses avgAcceleration * threshold and price closes above the trend filter. A sell occurs under the opposite conditions. An additional overbought/oversold check (based on a longer SMA) refines these signals further.
When price is considered oversold (i.e., close is below a longer-term SMA), a bullish acceleration signal has a higher likelihood of success because it indicates that the market is attempting to reverse from a lower price region. Conversely, when price is considered overbought (close is above this longer-term SMA), a bearish acceleration signal is more likely to be valid. This helps reduce false signals by waiting until the market is extended enough that a reversal or continuation has a stronger chance of following through.
5. Smart Pyramiding
Once a main buy or sell signal is triggered, additional (filtered) entries can be taken if acceleration crosses a smaller multiplier (pyramidingThreshold). This helps traders scale into strong moves. The script enforces a cap (maxPyramidingEntries) to limit risk.
6. Visual Elements
Candles can be recolored based on the active signal. Labels appear on the chart whenever a main or pyramiding entry signal is triggered. An optional table can show real-time acceleration values.
Color Schemes
The script includes a variety of predefined color themes. For bullish conditions, it might use turquoise or green, and for bearish conditions, magenta or red—depending on which color scheme the user selects. Each scheme aims to provide clear visual differentiation between bullish and bearish market states.
Why Each Indicator Was Part of This Component
Acceleration is employed to detect swift changes in momentum, capturing shifts that may not yet appear in more traditional measures. To further adapt to different trading styles and market conditions, several moving average methods are incorporated:
• TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average) is chosen for its ability to reduce lag more effectively than a standard EMA while still reacting swiftly to price changes. Its construction layers exponential smoothing in a way that can highlight sudden momentum shifts without sacrificing too much smoothness.
• DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average) provides a faster response than a single EMA by using two layers of exponential smoothing. It is slightly less smoothed than TEMA but can alert traders to momentum changes earlier, though with a higher risk of noise in choppier markets.
• HMA (Hull Moving Average) is known for its balance of smoothness and reduced lag. Its weighted calculations help track trend direction clearly, making it useful for traders who want a smoother line that still reacts fairly quickly.
• SMA (Simple Moving Average) is the classic baseline for smoothing price data. It offers a clear, stable perspective on long-term trends, though it reacts more slowly than other methods. Its simplicity can be beneficial in lower-volatility or more stable market environments.
• EWMA (Exponentially Weighted Moving Average) provides a middle ground by emphasizing recent price data while still retaining some degree of smoothing. It typically responds faster than an SMA but is less aggressive than DEMA or TEMA.
Alongside these moving average techniques, the script employs a slope calculation (referred to as the “Massive Slope Index”) to visually indicate whether the chosen filter is sloping upward or downward. This adds an extra layer of clarity to directional analysis. The indicator also uses overbought/oversold checks, based on a longer-term SMA, to help filter out signals in overstretched markets—reducing the likelihood of false entries in conditions where the price is already extensively extended.
Additional Features
Alerts can be set up for both main signals and additional pyramiding signals, which is helpful for automated or semi-automated trading. The optional acceleration table offers quick reference values, making momentum monitoring more intuitive. Including explicit alert conditions for Buy/Sell and Pyramiding ensures traders can respond promptly to market movements or integrate these triggers into automated strategies.

Uptrick: Time Based ReversionIntroduction
The Uptrick: Time Based Reversion indicator is designed to provide a comprehensive view of market momentum and potential trend shifts by combining multiple moving averages, a streak-based trend analysis system, and adaptive color visualization. It helps traders identify strong trends, spot potential reversals, and make more informed trading decisions.
Purpose
The primary goal of this indicator is to assist traders in distinguishing between sustained market movements and short-lived fluctuations. By evaluating how price behaves relative to its moving averages, and by measuring consecutive streaks above or below these averages, the indicator highlights areas where trends are likely to continue or lose momentum.
Overview
Uptrick: Time Based Reversion calculates one or more moving averages of price data and then tracks the number of consecutive bars (streaks) above or below these averages. This streak-based detection provides insight into whether a trend is gaining strength or nearing a potential reversal point. The indicator offers:
• Multiple moving average types (SMA, EMA, WMA)
• Optional second and third moving average layers for additional smoothing of first moving average
• A streak detection system to quantify trend intensity
• A dynamic color scheme that changes with streak strength
• Optional buy and sell signals for potential trade entries and exits
• A ribbon mode that applies moving averages to Open, High, Low, and Close prices for a more detailed visualization of overall trend alignment
Originality and Uniqueness
Unlike traditional moving average indicators, Uptrick: Time Based Reversion incorporates a streak measurement system to detect trend strength. This approach helps clarify whether a price movement is merely a quick fluctuation or part of a longer-lasting trend. Additionally, the optional ribbon mode extends this logic to Open, High, Low, and Close prices, creating a layered and intuitive visualization that shows complete trend alignment.
Inputs and Features
1. Enable Ribbon Mode
This input lets you activate or deactivate the ribbon display of multiple moving averages. When enabled, the script plots moving averages for the Open, High, Low, and Close prices and uses color fills to show whether these four data points are collectively above or below their respective moving averages.
2. Color Scheme Selection
Users can choose from several predefined color schemes, such as Default, Emerald, Crimson, Sapphire, Gold, Purple, Teal, Orange, Gray, Lime, or Aqua. Each scheme assigns distinct bullish, bearish and neutral colors..
3. Show Buy/Sell Signals
The indicator can display buy or sell signals based on its streak analysis logic. These signals appear as markers on the chart, indicating a “Safe Uptrend” (buy) or “Safe Downtrend” (sell).
4. Moving Average Types and Lengths
• First MA Type and Length: Choose SMA, EMA, or WMA along with a customizable period.
• Second and Third MA Types and Lengths: You can optionally stack additional moving averages for further smoothing, each with its own customizable type and period.
5. Streak Threshold Multiplier
This numeric input determines how strong a streak must be before the script considers it a “safe” trend. A higher multiplier requires a longer or more intense streak for a buy or sell signal.
6. Dynamic Transparency Calculation
The color intensity adapts to the streak’s strength. Longer streaks increase the transparency of the opposing color, making the current dominant color stand out. This feature ensures that a vigorous uptrend or downtrend is visually distinct from short-lived or weaker moves.
7. Ribbon Moving Averages
In ribbon mode, the script calculates moving averages for the Open, High, Low, and Close prices. Each of these is optionally smoothed again if the second and/or third moving average layers are active. The final result is a ribbon of moving averages that helps confirm whether the market is uniformly aligned above or below these key reference points.
Calculation Methodology
1. Initial Moving Average
The script calculates the first moving average (SMA, EMA, or WMA) of the closing price over a user-defined period.
2. Optional Secondary and Tertiary Averages
If selected, the script then applies a second and/or third smoothing step. Each of these steps can be a different type of moving average (SMA, EMA, or WMA) with its own period length.
3. Streak Detection
The indicator counts consecutive bars above or below the smoothed moving average. A running total (streakUp or streakDown) increments with every bar that remains above or below that average.
4. Reversion Intensity
The script compares the current streak value to its own average (calculated over the final chosen period). This ratio determines whether the streak is nearing a likely reversion or is strong enough to continue.
5. Color Assignment and Signals
The indicator calculates color transparency based on streak intensity. Buy and sell signals appear when the streak meets or exceeds the threshold multiplier, indicating a safe uptrend or downtrend.
Color Schemes and Visualization
This indicator offers multiple predefined color sets. Each scheme specifies a unique bullish color, bearish color and neutral color. The script automatically varies transparency to highlight strong trends and fade weaker ones, making it visually clear when a trend is intensifying or losing momentum.
Smoothing Techniques
By allowing up to three layers of moving average smoothing, the indicator accommodates different trading styles. A single layer provides faster reactions to market changes, while more layers reduce noise at the cost of slower responsiveness. Traders can choose the right balance between responsiveness and stability for their strategy, whether it is short-term scalping or long-term trend following.
Why It Combines Specific Smoothing Techniques
The Uptrick: Time Based Reversion indicator strategically combines specific smoothing techniques—SMA, EMA, and WMA—to leverage their complementary strengths. The SMA provides stable and consistent trend identification by equally weighting all data points, while the EMA emphasizes recent price movements, allowing quicker responses to market changes. WMA enhances sensitivity to recent price shifts, which helps in detecting subtle momentum changes early. By integrating these methods in layers, the indicator effectively balances responsiveness with stability, helping traders clearly identify genuine trend changes while filtering out short-term noise and false signals.
Ribbon Mode
If Open, High, Low, and Close prices remain above or below their respective moving averages consistently, the script colors the bars fully bullish or bearish. When the data points are mixed, a neutral color is applied. This mode provides a thorough perspective on whether the entire price range is aligned in one direction or showing conflicting signals.
Summary
Uptrick: Time Based Reversion combines multiple moving averages, streak detection, and dynamic color adjustments to help traders identify significant trends and potential reversal areas. Its flexibility allows it to be used either in a simpler form, with one moving average and streak analysis, or in a more advanced configuration with ribbon mode that charts multiple smoothed averages for a deeper understanding of price alignment. By adapting color intensities based on streak strength and providing optional buy/sell signals, this indicator delivers a clear and flexible tool suited to various trading strategies.

Why It Combines Specific Smoothing Techniques
Smoothing techniques are essential for filtering out market noise and revealing underlying trends. The indicator combines three smoothing methods for the following reasons:
- The Hull Moving Average (HMA) in Scalp Mode minimizes lag and responds quickly to price changes, which is critical for short-term trading.
- The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) in Swing Mode gives more weight to recent data, striking a balance between speed and smoothness. This makes it suitable for mid-term trend analysis.
- The Weighted Moving Average (WMA) in Position Mode smooths out short-term fluctuations, offering a clear view of longer-term trends and reducing the impact of transient market volatility.
By using these specific methods in their respective trading modes, the indicator ensures that the trend line is appropriately responsive for the intended time frame, enhancing decision-making while maintaining clarity.
Inputs
1. Trend Length (Default: 30)
Defines the lookback period for the smoothing calculation. A shorter trend length results in a more responsive line, while a longer length produces a smoother, less volatile trend.
2. Trend Damping (Default: 0.75)
Controls the degree of smoothing applied to the trend line. Lower values lead to a smoother curve, whereas higher values increase sensitivity to price fluctuations.
3. Signal Strength Threshold (Default: 5)
Specifies the number of consecutive bullish or bearish bars required to trigger a signal. Higher thresholds reduce the frequency of signals, focusing on stronger moves.
4. Enable Bar Coloring (Default: True)
Toggles whether each price bar is colored to indicate bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions.
5. Enable Signals (Default: True)
When enabled, this option plots buy or sell arrows on the chart once the momentum thresholds are met.
6. Enable Standard Gradient Fill (Default: False)
Activates ATR-based gradient fills around the trend line to visualize potential support and resistance zones.
7. Enable Fading Gradient Fill (Default: True)
Draws a gradual color transition between the trend line and the current price, emphasizing their divergence.

Calculations
1. Trend Line Methods
- Scalp Mode: Utilizes the Hull Moving Average (HMA), which computes two weighted moving averages (one at half the length and one at full length), subtracts them, and then applies a final weighted average based on the square root of the length. This method minimizes lag and increases responsiveness.
- Swing Mode: Uses the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which assigns greater weight to recent prices, thus balancing quick reaction with smoothness.
- Position Mode: Applies the Weighted Moving Average (WMA) to focus on longer-term trends by emphasizing the entire lookback period and reducing the impact of short-term volatility.
2. Momentum Tracking
The indicator maintains separate counters for bullish and bearish momentum. These counters increase as the trend confirms directional movement and reset when the trend reverses. When a counter exceeds the defined signal strength threshold, a corresponding signal (buy or sell) is triggered.
3. Volatility and ATR Zones
The Average True Range (ATR) is calculated using a period that adapts to the selected trading mode (shorter for Scalp, longer for Position). The ATR value is then used to define upper and lower zones around the trend line, highlighting the current level of market volatility.
4. Return and Trend Acceleration
- Return is calculated as the difference between the current and previous closing prices, providing a simple measure of price change.
- Trend Acceleration is derived from the change in the trend line’s movement (its first derivative) compared to the previous bar. This metric indicates whether the trend is gaining or losing momentum.
5. Sortino Ratio and Standard Deviation
- The Sortino Ratio measures risk-adjusted performance by comparing returns to downside volatility (only considering negative price changes).
- Standard Deviation is computed over the lookback period to assess the extent of price fluctuations, offering insights into market stability.
Usage
This indicator is suitable for various time frames and market instruments. Traders can enable or disable specific visual elements such as gradient fills, bar coloring, and signal markers based on their preference. For a minimalist approach, one might choose to display only the primary trend line. For a deeper analysis, enabling multiple tables can provide extensive data on momentum, volatility, trend dynamics, and risk metrics.
Important Note on Risk
Trading involves inherent risk, and no indicator can eliminate the uncertainty of the markets. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Uptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSIUptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSI
Introduction
The Uptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSI is a momentum-based indicator that integrates the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with the Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA). By applying FRAMA's adaptive smoothing to RSI—and further refining it with a Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA)—this script creates a refined and reliable momentum oscillator. The indicator now includes enhanced divergence detection, potential reversal signals, customizable buy/sell signal options, an internal stats table, and a fully customizable bar coloring system for an enhanced visual trading experience.
Why Combine RSI with FRAMA
Traditional RSI is a well-known momentum indicator but has several limitations. It is highly sensitive to price fluctuations, often generating false signals in choppy or volatile markets. FRAMA, in contrast, adapts dynamically to price changes by adjusting its smoothing factor based on market conditions.
By integrating FRAMA into RSI calculations, this indicator reduces noise while preserving RSI's ability to track momentum, adapts to volatility by reducing lag in trending markets and smoothing out choppiness in ranging conditions, enhances trend-following capability for more reliable momentum shifts, and refines overbought and oversold signals by adjusting to the current market structure.
With the new enhancements, such as a manual alpha input, noise filtering, divergence detection, and multiple buy/sell signal options, the indicator offers even greater flexibility and precision for traders. This combination improves the standard RSI by making it more adaptive and responsive to market changes.
Originality
This indicator is unique because it applies FRAMA's adaptive smoothing technique to RSI, creating a dynamic momentum oscillator that adjusts to different market conditions. Many traditional RSI-based indicators either use fixed smoothing methods like exponential moving averages or employ basic RSI calculations without adjusting for volatility.
This script stands out by integrating several elements, including the fractal dimension-based smoothing of FRAMA to reduce noise while retaining responsiveness, the use of Zero-Lag Moving Average smoothing to enhance trend sensitivity and reduce lag, divergence detection to highlight mismatches between price action and RSI momentum, a noise filter and manual alpha option to prevent minor fluctuations from generating false signals, customizable buy/sell signal options that let traders choose between ZLMA-based or FRAMA RSI-based signals, an internal stats table displaying real-time FRAMA calculations such as fractal dimension and the adaptive alpha factor, and a fully customizable bar coloring system to visually distinguish bullish, bearish, and neutral conditions.
Features
Adaptive FRAMA RSI
The indicator applies FRAMA to RSI values, making the momentum oscillator adaptive to volatility while filtering out noise. Unlike a traditional RSI that reacts equally to all price movements, FRAMA RSI adjusts its smoothing factor based on market structure, making it more effective for identifying true momentum shifts.
Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA)
A smoothing technique that minimizes lag while preserving the responsiveness of price movements. It is applied to the FRAMA RSI to further refine signals and ensure smoother trend detection.
Bullish and Bearish Threshold Crossovers
This system compares FRAMA RSI to a user-defined threshold (default is 50). When FRAMA RSI moves above the threshold, it indicates bullish momentum, while movement below signals bearish conditions. The enhanced noise filter ensures that only significant moves trigger signals.
Noise Filter and Manual Alpha
A new noise filter input prevents tiny fluctuations from triggering false signals. In addition, a manual alpha option allows traders to override the automatically computed smoothing factor with a custom value, providing extra control over the indicator’s sensitivity.
Divergence Detection
The indicator identifies divergence patterns by comparing FRAMA RSI pivots to price action. Bullish divergence occurs when price makes a lower low while FRAMA RSI makes a higher low, and bearish divergence occurs when price makes a higher high while FRAMA RSI makes a lower high. These signals can help traders anticipate potential reversals.
Reversal Signals
Labels appear on the chart when FRAMA RSI confirms classic RSI overbought (70) or oversold (30) conditions, providing visual cues for potential trend reversals.
Buy and Sell Signal Options
Traders can now choose between two signal-generation methods. ZLMA-based signals trigger when the ZLMA of FRAMA RSI crosses key overbought (70) or oversold (30) levels, while FRAMA RSI-based signals trigger when FRAMA RSI itself crosses these levels. This added flexibility allows users to tailor the indicator to their preferred trading style.
ZLMA:
FRAMA:
Customizable Alerts
Alerts notify traders when FRAMA RSI crosses key levels, divergence signals occur, reversal conditions are met, or buy/sell signals trigger. This ensures that important trading events are not missed.
Fully Customizable Bar Coloring System
Users can color bars based on different conditions, enhancing visual clarity. Bar coloring modes include: FRAMA RSI threshold (bars change color based on whether FRAMA RSI is above or below the threshold), ZLMA crossover (bars change when ZLMA crosses overbought or oversold levels), buy/sell signals (bars change when official signals trigger), divergence (bars highlight when bullish or bearish divergence is detected), and reversals (bars indicate when RSI reaches overbought or oversold conditions confirmed by FRAMA RSI). The system also remembers the last applied bar color, ensuring a smooth visual transition.

How It Works
FRAMA Calculation
FRAMA dynamically adjusts smoothing based on the price fractal dimension. The alpha smoothing factor is derived from the fractal dimension or can be set manually to maintain responsiveness.
RSI with FRAMA Smoothing
RSI is calculated using the user-defined lookback period. FRAMA is then applied to the RSI to make it more adaptive to volatility. Optionally, ZLMA is applied to further refine the signals and reduce lag.
Bullish and Bearish Threshold Crosses
A bullish condition occurs when FRAMA RSI crosses above the threshold, while a bearish condition occurs when it falls below. The noise filter ensures that only significant trend shifts generate signals.
Buy and Sell Signal Options
Traders can choose between ZLMA crossovers or FRAMA RSI crossovers as the basis for buy and sell signals, offering flexibility in trade entry timing.
Divergence Detection
The indicator identifies divergences where price action and FRAMA RSI momentum do not align, potentially signaling upcoming reversals.
Reversal Signal Labels
When classic RSI overbought or oversold levels are confirmed by FRAMA RSI conditions, reversal labels are added on the chart to highlight potential exhaustion points.
Bar Coloring System
Bars are dynamically colored based on various conditions such as RSI thresholds, ZLMA crossovers, buy/sell signals, divergence, and reversals, allowing traders to quickly interpret market sentiment.
Alerts and Internal Stats
Customizable alerts notify traders of key events, and an optional internal stats table displays real-time calculations (fractal dimension, alpha value, and RSI values) to help users understand the underlying dynamics of the indicator.
Summary
The Uptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSI offers an enhanced approach to momentum analysis by combining RSI with adaptive FRAMA smoothing and additional layers of signal refinement. The indicator now includes adaptive RSI smoothing to reduce noise and improve responsiveness, Zero-Lag Moving Average filtering to minimize lag, divergence and reversal detection to identify potential turning points, customizable buy/sell signal options that let traders choose between different signal methodologies, a fully customizable bar coloring system to visually distinguish market conditions, and an internal stats table for real-time insight into FRAMA calculation parameters.

Whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, this indicator can be your compass 🧭 in the complex world of trading.
### 🎯 **Purpose of the Indicator**
The primary goal of the **Momentum Channel Indicator** is to measure the deviation of price from its moving average (the mid-point) and to smooth this deviation to identify momentum shifts. By plotting overbought and oversold levels, the indicator helps traders spot potential reversal points where the market might change direction, offering valuable entry or exit signals.
### 🔧 **Inputs & Parameters**
Let's break down the input parameters that you can adjust to tailor the indicator to your trading style:
1. **`length1` (Channel Length) 📏**: This is the period over which the moving average (mid-point) and price deviation are calculated. The default value is 14, meaning the last 14 bars are considered for calculations.
2. **`length2` (Smoothing Length) 🧘**: This parameter controls the smoothing of the channel index, with a default value of 28. The higher the value, the smoother the momentum line, reducing noise and making trends more visible.
3. **`overbought1` & `overbought2` (Overbought Levels) 🔴**: These levels, set at 70 and 65 by default, represent the threshold above which the market is considered overbought, potentially signaling a selling opportunity.
4. **`oversold1` & `oversold2` (Oversold Levels) 🟢**: Similarly, these levels, set at -70 and -65, mark the threshold below which the market is considered oversold, indicating a potential buying opportunity.
### 🛠️ **How the Indicator Works**
Now, let's dive into the mechanics of the Momentum Channel Indicator:
1. **Mid-Point Calculation 🏁**: The mid-point is calculated using a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing prices over the `length1` period. This mid-point acts as a reference line from which deviations are measured.
2. **Price Deviation 📊**: The price deviation is the absolute difference between the closing price and the mid-point, smoothed over the same period (`length1`). This represents the typical price movement away from the mid-point.
3. **Channel Index 📉**: The channel index is calculated by dividing the price deviation by a fraction (0.01) of the mid-point, providing a normalized measure of how far the price has deviated from the average.
4. **Smoothing of the Channel Index 🌊**: The smoothed index (`mci1`) is calculated by applying a smoothing filter (SMA) over the channel index using the `length2` parameter. This helps reduce noise and highlight the true momentum of the market.
5. **Momentum Lines 📈**:
- **`mci1`**: The main momentum line, representing the smoothed channel index.
- **`mci2`**: A secondary momentum line, which is a further smoothed version of `mci1` using a 6-period SMA.
6. **Signal Lines 🚦**:
- **Overbought & Oversold Levels**: Horizontal lines plotted at `overbought1`, `overbought2`, `oversold1`, and `oversold2` levels serve as visual cues for overbought and oversold conditions.
- **Zero Line**: A central reference line at 0, indicating neutral momentum.
### 📈 **How to Use the Indicator**
#### 1. **Day Traders ⚡**
For day traders, the Momentum Channel Indicator can be a quick signal generator for short-term trades. Here's how you can use it:
- **Identify Entry Points 🎯**: Look for a **bullish crossover** when `mci1` crosses above `mci2` from below the `oversold1` level. This signals a potential upward reversal.
- **Spot Exit Points 🏁**: Watch for a **bearish crossunder** when `mci1` crosses below `mci2` from above the `overbought1` level. This could indicate a downward reversal.
- **Scalping 🔄**: In a fast-moving market, use the indicator to scalp by entering and exiting trades at these crossover points, with a tight stop-loss strategy.
#### 2. **Swing Traders 🎢**
Swing traders benefit from using the Momentum Channel Indicator to identify potential reversal points over a longer period:
- **Trend Confirmation 📊**: Use the smoothing effect of `mci2` to confirm trends. If `mci2` remains consistently above 0, it indicates a strong bullish trend, and vice versa.
- **Overbought/Oversold Reversals 🚀**: Enter trades when the price approaches the overbought or oversold levels (`overbought1`, `oversold1`). Combine this with other indicators, such as RSI, for more reliable signals.
- **Hold Positions 🧗**: Let the momentum lines guide your hold strategy. If the momentum lines stay aligned (both `mci1` and `mci2` are moving in the same direction), consider holding the position until a crossover or reversal signal appears.
#### 3. **Long-Term Investors 🏦**
For long-term investors, the Momentum Channel Indicator helps in fine-tuning entry and exit points based on broader market momentum:
- **Divergence Analysis 📐**: Look for divergence between the price and the momentum lines. If the price makes new highs but the momentum lines do not, it could signal a weakening trend and a potential reversal.
- **Strategic Entry/Exit 🏹**: Use the `overbought2` and `oversold2` levels to strategically enter or exit positions. These secondary levels provide an early warning before the market reaches extreme conditions.
- **Risk Management 🛡️**: The indicator can also be used as part of a risk management strategy by identifying when to reduce exposure in overbought markets or increase exposure in oversold markets.

### How It Works: A Deep Dive Into the Mechanics 🛠️
1. **SuperTrend Calculation:**
- The SuperTrend is calculated using the ATR, which measures market volatility. The indicator creates upper and lower bands around the price, adjusting these bands based on the current level of market volatility. The direction of the trend is determined by the position of the price relative to these bands.
- The script enhances the standard SuperTrend by ensuring that the bands do not flip-flop too quickly, reducing the chances of false signals in a choppy market. The direction is confirmed by checking the position of the close relative to the previous band, making the trend detection more reliable.
2. **RSI Integration:**
- The RSI is calculated over a customizable length and compared to user-defined overbought and oversold levels. When the RSI crosses below the oversold level, and the SuperTrend indicates a bullish trend, a buy signal is generated. Conversely, when the RSI crosses above the overbought level, and the SuperTrend indicates a bearish trend, a sell signal is triggered.
- The combination of RSI with SuperTrend ensures that trades are only taken when there is a strong confluence of signals, reducing the chances of entering trades during weak or indecisive market phases.
3. **Volume Filtering:**
- The script calculates the average volume over a 20-period simple moving average. The volume filter ensures that buy and sell signals are only valid when the current volume exceeds a multiple of this average, which can be adjusted by the user. This feature helps filter out weak signals that might occur during low-volume periods, such as just before a major news event or during after-hours trading.
- The volume filter is particularly useful in markets where volume spikes are common, as it ensures that signals are only generated when there is significant market interest in the direction of the trend.
4. **Squeeze Momentum:**
- The Squeeze Momentum Indicator (SMI) adds a layer of market pressure analysis. The script calculates Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, detecting when the market is in a "squeeze" — a period of low volatility that typically precedes a significant price move.
- When the Bollinger Bands are inside the Keltner Channels, the market is in a squeeze (compression phase). This is often a precursor to a breakout or breakdown. The script colors the histogram bars black during this phase, indicating a potential for a strong move. Once the squeeze is released, the bars are colored according to the direction of the SuperTrend, signaling a potential entry point.
5. **Integration and Signal Generation:**
- The script brings together the SuperTrend, RSI, Volume, and Squeeze Momentum to generate highly accurate buy and sell signals. A buy signal is triggered when the SuperTrend is bullish, the RSI indicates oversold conditions, and the volume filter confirms strong market participation. Similarly, a sell signal is generated when the SuperTrend is bearish, the RSI indicates overbought conditions, and the volume filter is met.
- The combination of these elements ensures that the signals are robust, reducing the likelihood of entering trades during weak or indecisive market conditions.
### Practical Applications: How to Use the MultiTrend Squeeze System 📅
1. **Day Trading:**
- For day traders, this indicator provides quick and reliable signals that can be used to enter and exit trades multiple times within a day. The volume filter ensures that you are trading during the most liquid times of the day, increasing the chances of successful trades. The Squeeze Momentum aspect helps you catch breakouts or breakdowns, which are common in intraday trading.
2. **Swing Trading:**
- Swing traders can use the MultiTrend Squeeze System to identify longer-term trends. By adjusting the ATR length and factor, you can make the SuperTrend more sensitive to catch longer-term moves. The RSI and Squeeze Momentum aspects help you time your entries and exits, ensuring that you get in early on a trend and exit before it reverses.
3. **Scalping:**
- For scalpers, the quick signals provided by this system, especially in combination with the volume filter, make it easier to take small profits repeatedly. The histogram bars give you a clear visual cue of the market's momentum, making it easier to scalp effectively.
4. **Position Trading:**
- Even position traders can benefit from this indicator by using it to confirm long-term trends. By adjusting the settings to less sensitive parameters, you can ensure that you are only entering trades when a strong trend is confirmed. The Squeeze Momentum indicator will help you stay in the trade during periods of consolidation, waiting for the next big move.

Uptrick: Adaptive Trend Strength Index (ATSI)### **Adaptive Trend Strength Index (ATSI): Trend Detection Tool**
---
### Introduction
The **Adaptive Trend Strength Index (ATSI)** is a state-of-the-art indicator designed to offer traders an unparalleled view into market trends. By combining the principles of adaptive trend analysis with advanced volatility filtering, ATSI provides a powerful and visually intuitive method for identifying and following market trends. Its unique algorithm and customizable features make it an essential tool for traders across all markets—whether you're trading stocks, forex, commodities, or cryptocurrencies.
### The Purpose and Design Philosophy
At its core, the ATSI was built with the understanding that financial markets are dynamic, ever-changing entities influenced by a multitude of factors, including market sentiment, economic data, geopolitical events, and, critically, volatility. Traditional trend indicators often fall short by either over-smoothing price data (thus lagging behind the actual trend) or reacting too quickly to minor price fluctuations, resulting in false signals.
**ATSI solves this dilemma by adapting to market conditions in real-time.** It effectively filters out market noise while being sensitive enough to detect meaningful shifts in trend direction. The result is a trend line that is both responsive and smooth, providing traders with a clear, actionable view of the market's current trajectory.
### Key Features and Functionality
#### 1. **Adaptive Trend Calculation**
The heart of ATSI is its adaptive trend algorithm, which adjusts based on market conditions. It leverages a combination of price action analysis and volatility filtering to determine the strength and direction of the trend. Here’s how it works:
- **Volatility Sensitivity:** ATSI incorporates the Average True Range (ATR) to measure market volatility. This volatility measure is then adjusted by a user-defined sensitivity factor. This ensures that the indicator responds dynamically to different market environments—be it high-volatility breakouts or low-volatility consolidations.
- **Adaptive Smoothing:** The trend calculation is further enhanced by an exponential moving average (EMA) applied not just to the raw price data, but also to the resulting trend line itself. This dual-layer smoothing process helps to eliminate noise, resulting in a cleaner and more reliable trend line.
- **Real-Time Adaptation:** Unlike rigid indicators that require constant tweaking to stay relevant in changing market conditions, ATSI adapts in real-time. This adaptability makes it particularly valuable in fast-moving markets where conditions can change rapidly.
#### 2. **Visual Clarity**
In trading, visual clarity can make the difference between spotting a lucrative trend and missing out. ATSI excels in this regard by offering a clear, color-coded trend line that provides instant feedback on market conditions:
- **Thicker and Smoother Line:** ATSI’s trend line is designed to be visually prominent. By default, it is thicker than most standard indicators, making it easy to spot even in dense charts. Additionally, the smoothing applied to the line ensures that it flows smoothly, avoiding the jagged, noisy appearance that can plague other indicators.
- **Color-Coded Trends:** The trend line changes color based on the direction and strength of the trend:
- **Green Line**: Indicates a bullish trend, suggesting upward momentum in the market.
- **Red Line**: Indicates a bearish trend, signaling downward momentum.
- **Gold Line**: Represents a neutral or weak trend, where the market is consolidating or where there is no clear direction.
This color-coding is not just for aesthetics—it’s a critical feature that allows traders to quickly assess market conditions at a glance.
#### 3. **Customizable Parameters**
ATSI is built with the understanding that every trader’s strategy is unique. Whether you’re a day trader looking for short-term trends or a swing trader interested in catching longer moves, ATSI can be tailored to fit your needs:
- **Trend Length:** The length parameter controls how much historical data is considered in the trend calculation. A shorter length will make the indicator more sensitive to recent price changes, while a longer length will smooth out short-term fluctuations, focusing on the broader trend.
- **Smoothing Factor:** This parameter controls the level of smoothing applied to the trend line. A higher smoothing factor will result in a smoother, more stable trend line, while a lower factor will make the line more responsive to quick changes in price.
- **Volatility Sensitivity:** By adjusting the volatility sensitivity, you can control how reactive the indicator is to market volatility. A higher sensitivity makes the indicator more likely to detect trends in volatile markets, while a lower sensitivity helps to filter out noise in calmer markets.
- **Line Width:** ATSI allows you to adjust the thickness of the trend line, ensuring that it stands out on your chart. This is particularly useful when trading on charts with a lot of overlays or when you need a clear, bold line to guide your trading decisions.
- **Color Customization:** The colors for bullish, bearish, and neutral trends can be fully customized to match your personal preferences or to integrate seamlessly with your existing chart setup.
### Practical Applications

The indicator uses a combination of moving averages, Average True Range (ATR), and custom logic to detect trading signals and plot various levels on the chart to assist traders in making informed decisions.
### **Key Components and Functionality**
#### 1. **Inputs and Configuration**
- **Imbalance Filter (`imbalanceFilter`)**: This input sets the filter for detecting imbalances based on the difference between two price points. The value is a float and can be adjusted to fine-tune the sensitivity of imbalance detection. The default value is `0.0`, with a step size of `0.1`.
- **Moving Average Settings (`maLength1`, `maLength2`, `maColor1`, `maColor2`)**:
- `maLength1` and `maLength2` define the lengths of the two moving averages used in the indicator. By default, they are set to `50` and `200` periods, respectively.
- `maColor1` and `maColor2` specify the colors of these moving averages on the chart. The first MA is colored blue, and the second is red.
- **Take Profit and Stop Loss Settings (`displayTP`, `tpMultiplier`, `tpColor`, `displaySL`, `slMultiplier`, `slColor`)**:
- `displayTP` and `displaySL` are boolean inputs that control whether the TP and SL areas are displayed on the chart.
- `tpMultiplier` and `slMultiplier` are multipliers used to calculate the TP and SL levels relative to the detected imbalance level using the ATR value.
- `tpColor` and `slColor` define the colors of these areas. The TP area is green (with a transparency of 50), and the SL area is red (with a transparency of 50).
- **Trailing Stop Settings (`trailMultiplier`)**: This setting determines the multiplier used to calculate the trailing stop level based on the ATR value. The default multiplier is `2.5`.
- **Style Settings (`bullishColor`, `bearishColor`)**:
- `bullishColor` and `bearishColor` set the colors for bullish and bearish zones created when an imbalance is detected. The bullish zone is green, and the bearish zone is red.
- **Signal Label Size (`labelSizeOption`)**: The size of the signal labels displayed on the chart can be adjusted. The options include `Tiny`, `Small`, `Normal`, `Large`, and `Huge`. The selected size affects the visual prominence of the labels.
#### 2. **ATR Calculation (`atrValue`)**
- The ATR value is calculated using a period of 14, which is a standard setting for measuring market volatility. This value is used extensively throughout the indicator to calculate TP, SL, and trailing stop levels.
#### 3. **Imbalance Detection and Zone Creation**
- The indicator detects potential imbalances in the market by comparing certain price points, using a custom function (`imbalanceCondition`).
- **Bullish Imbalance Detection (`bullishSignal`)**:
- A bullish imbalance is detected when the low of three bars ago is higher than the high of one bar ago, and the current close is above the low of three bars ago.
- Additional conditions include checking that the current close is above the calculated average of the two moving averages (`ma1` and `ma2`), and that the imbalance exceeds the threshold set by the `imbalanceFilter`.
- **Bearish Imbalance Detection (`bearishSignal`)**:
- A bearish imbalance is detected under conditions where the low of one bar ago is higher than the high of three bars ago, and the current close is below the high of three bars ago.
- Like the bullish signal, the close must also be below the average of the two moving averages, and the imbalance must exceed the `imbalanceFilter` threshold.
- Upon detection of an imbalance (either bullish or bearish), the indicator creates a zone using `box.new` that highlights the price range of the imbalance. The box color corresponds to the bullish or bearish nature of the signal.
- The center of the imbalance range is marked with a dashed line, and a corresponding label (`🔴` for bearish and `🟢` for bullish) is placed on the chart to indicate the detected signal.
#### 4. **Take Profit and Stop Loss Calculation (`calculateTPSL`)**
- When an imbalance is detected, the indicator calculates potential TP and SL levels based on the ATR value and the respective multipliers.
- If the TP or SL areas are enabled, the indicator plots these areas as colored boxes on the chart.
- The function also tracks whether these levels are hit by subsequent price action, updating the status (`reached`) as appropriate.
#### 5. **Trailing Stop Logic (`applyTrailingStop`)**
- The trailing stop feature is a dynamic mechanism that adjusts the stop level as the price moves in the trader's favor.
- The trailing stop is calculated using the ATR value multiplied by the `trailMultiplier`.
- If the trailing stop is triggered (i.e., the price crosses the trailing stop level), the indicator marks the trade as stopped out.
#### 6. **Plotting and Visualization**
- The indicator plots the two moving averages on the chart with the specified colors and line width.
- If a trailing stop is active, it plots the trailing stop level on the chart, updating as the stop moves.
- The bar color changes based on the status of the current signal and whether the trailing stop or TP/SL levels have been hit.
### **Detailed Execution Flow**
1. **Initialization**: The indicator initializes several variables, including lines, boxes, and the current signal state. This setup ensures that the script can dynamically update these elements as new price data comes in.
2. **Moving Average Calculation**: The moving averages (`ma1` and `ma2`) are calculated using simple moving average (SMA) functions, which are foundational for many of the indicator's conditions.
3. **Imbalance Detection**: The script evaluates price action to detect potential bullish or bearish imbalances, applying filters based on the user-defined `imbalanceFilter`.
4. **Zone Creation and Labeling**: Upon detecting an imbalance, the script creates visual zones on the chart using the `box.new` function and labels the zones for easy identification.
5. **Take Profit and Stop Loss Logic**: The TP and SL areas are calculated and plotted if the relevant settings are enabled. The script continuously checks if these levels are reached as new bars form.
6. **Trailing Stop Calculation**: The script dynamically adjusts the trailing stop level based on the price movement and ATR value. The trailing stop helps lock in profits as the trade progresses.
7. **Plotting**: The moving averages, trailing stop levels, and bar colors are plotted on the chart, providing a visual representation of the indicator's signals and trade management levels.
8. **Final Checks and Updates**: The script concludes each bar's processing by updating the status of various elements, such as whether levels have been reached or if the trailing stop has been triggered.
### **Conclusion**
The "Uptrick: Imbalance MA Trailing System" is a highly versatile indicator designed for traders who want to identify market imbalances and manage their trades effectively using a combination of moving averages, ATR-based calculations, and custom logic. The indicator offers a wide range of customization options, allowing traders to adjust the sensitivity of imbalance detection, the size of the signal labels, and the visibility of various trade management levels (TP, SL, and trailing stop).
The combination of these features makes it a powerful tool for both novice and experienced traders, providing clear visual cues and robust trade management capabilities directly on the chart.
Uptrick: EMA Trend Indicator
### Overview
The goal of this script is to visually indicate on a trading chart whether all three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are trending upwards (i.e., their slopes are positive). If all EMAs are trending upwards, the script will color the bars green. If not, the bars will be colored red.
### Key Concepts
1. **Exponential Moving Average (EMA)**: An EMA is a type of moving average that places more weight on recent data, making it more responsive to price changes compared to a simple moving average (SMA). In this script, we use three different EMAs with different lengths (20, 50, and 200 periods).
2. **Slope of an EMA**: The slope of an EMA refers to the direction in which the EMA is moving. If the current value of the EMA is higher than its value in the previous bar, the slope is positive (upward). Conversely, if the current value is lower than its previous value, the slope is negative (downward).
3. **Bar Color Coding**: The script changes the color of the bars on the chart to provide a visual cue:
- **Green Bars**: Indicate that all three EMAs are trending upwards.
- **Red Bars**: Indicate that one or more EMAs are not trending upwards.
### Detailed Breakdown
#### 1. Input Fields
- **EMA Lengths**: The script starts by allowing the user to input the lengths for the three EMAs. These lengths determine how many periods (e.g., days) are used to calculate each EMA.
- `ema20_length` is set to 20, meaning the first EMA uses the last 20 bars of data.
- `ema50_length` is set to 50, meaning the second EMA uses the last 50 bars of data.
- `ema200_length` is set to 200, meaning the third EMA uses the last 200 bars of data.
#### 2. EMA Calculation
- The script calculates the values of the three EMAs:
- **EMA 20**: This is calculated using the last 20 bars of closing prices.
- **EMA 50**: This is calculated using the last 50 bars of closing prices.
- **EMA 200**: This is calculated using the last 200 bars of closing prices.
These calculations result in three values for each bar on the chart, each representing the EMA value at that point in time.
#### 3. Determining EMA Slopes
- **EMA Slopes**: To understand the trend of each EMA, the script compares the current value of each EMA to its value in the previous bar:
- For the 20-period EMA, the script checks if today’s EMA value is higher than yesterday’s EMA value.
- This process is repeated for the 50-period and 200-period EMAs.
- If today’s EMA value is greater than yesterday’s value, the slope is positive (upward).
- If today’s EMA value is not greater (it is either equal to or less than yesterday’s value), the slope is not positive.
#### 4. Evaluating All Slopes
- **All Slopes Positive Condition**: The script combines the results of the individual slope checks into a single condition. It uses a logical "AND" operation:
- The condition will be `true` only if all three EMAs (20, 50, and 200) have positive slopes.
- If any one of the EMAs does not have a positive slope, the condition will be `false`.
#### 5. Coloring the Bars
- **Bar Coloring Logic**: Based on the above condition, the script decides the color of each bar on the chart:
- If all slopes are positive (condition is `true`), the bar is colored green.
- If any slope is not positive (condition is `false`), the bar is colored red.
- **Visual Cue**: This provides a quick, visual indication to traders:
- Green bars suggest that the market is in an upward trend across all three EMAs, which might indicate a strong bullish trend.
- Red bars suggest that the trend is not uniformly upward, which could be a sign of weakening momentum or a potential reversal.
#### 6. Alerts
- **Alert Conditions**: The script also allows for alert conditions to be set based on the slope analysis:
- An alert can be triggered when all EMA slopes are positive. This might be useful for traders who want to be notified when the market shows strong upward momentum.
### Summary
- The script essentially takes the market data and applies three different EMAs to it, each with a different time frame.
- It then checks the direction (slope) of each of these EMAs to determine if they are all trending upwards.
- If they are, the script colors the bar green, signaling a potentially strong bullish trend.
- If any of the EMAs is not trending upwards, it colors the bar red, indicating a potential issue with the strength of the trend.
This approach helps traders quickly assess market conditions based on multiple EMAs, providing a clearer picture of the overall trend across different time frames.
Uptrick: Bullish/Bearish Signal DetectorDetailed Explanation of the "Uptrick: Bullish/Bearish Signal Detector" Script
The "Uptrick: Bullish/Bearish Signal Detector" script is a sophisticated tool designed for the TradingView platform, leveraging Pine Script version 5. This script is crafted to enhance traders' ability to identify bullish (buy) and bearish (sell) signals directly on their trading charts. By combining the power of the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) and RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicators, this script provides a unique and efficient method for detecting potential trading opportunities. Below is an in-depth exploration of its purpose, features, and functionality.
Purpose
The primary purpose of this script is to assist traders in identifying potential entry and exit points in the market by signaling bullish and bearish conditions. This automated detection helps traders make more informed decisions without the need to manually analyze complex indicators. By overlaying signals directly on the price chart, the script allows for quick visual identification of market trends and reversals.
Uniqueness
What sets this script apart is its dual use of MACD and RSI indicators. While many trading strategies might rely on a single indicator, combining MACD and RSI enhances the reliability of the signals by filtering out false positives. The script not only identifies trends but also adds a layer of confirmation through the RSI, which measures the speed and change of price movements.
Inputs and Features
Customizable Label Appearance:
The script allows users to customize the appearance of the labels that indicate bullish and bearish signals. Users can set their preferred colors for the labels and the text, ensuring that the signals are easily distinguishable and aesthetically pleasing on their charts.
MACD Calculation:
The script calculates the MACD line and signal line using user-defined input values for the fast length, slow length, and signal length. The MACD histogram, which is the difference between the MACD line and the signal line, is used to determine the momentum of the market.
RSI Calculation:
The RSI is calculated using a user-defined input length. The RSI helps in identifying overbought or oversold conditions, which are crucial for confirming the strength of the trend detected by the MACD.
Bullish and Bearish Conditions:
The script defines bullish conditions as those where the MACD histogram is positive and the RSI is above 50. Bearish conditions are defined where the MACD histogram is negative and the RSI is below 50. This combination of conditions ensures that signals are generated based on both momentum and relative strength, reducing the likelihood of false signals.
Label Plotting:
The script plots labels on the chart to indicate bullish and bearish signals. When a bullish condition is met, and the previous signal was not bullish, a "LONG" label is plotted. Similarly, when a bearish condition is met, and the previous signal was not bearish, a "SHORT" label is plotted. This feature helps in clearly marking the points of interest for traders, making it easier to spot potential trades.
Tracking Previous Signals:
To avoid repetitive signals, the script keeps track of the last signal. If the last signal was bullish, it avoids plotting another bullish signal immediately. The same logic applies to bearish signals. This tracking ensures that signals are spaced out and only significant changes in market conditions are highlighted.
How It Works
The script operates in a loop, processing each bar (or candlestick) on the chart as new data comes in. It calculates the MACD and RSI values for each bar and checks if the current conditions meet the criteria for a bullish or bearish signal. If a signal is detected and it is different from the last signal, a label is plotted on the chart at the current bar's price level. This real-time processing allows traders to see the signals as they form, providing timely insights into market movements.
Practical Application
For practical use, a trader would add this script to their TradingView chart. They can customize the input parameters for the MACD and RSI calculations to fit their trading strategy or preferred settings. Once added, the script will automatically analyze the price data and start plotting "LONG" and "SHORT" labels based on the detected signals. Traders can then use these labels to make decisions on entering or exiting trades, adjusting their strategy as necessary based on the signals provided.
Conclusion
The "Uptrick: Bullish/Bearish Signal Detector" script is a powerful tool for any trader looking to leverage technical indicators for better trading decisions. By combining MACD and RSI, it offers a robust method for detecting market trends and potential reversals. The customizable features and real-time signal plotting make it a versatile and user-friendly addition to any trading toolkit. This script not only simplifies the process of technical analysis but also enhances the accuracy of trading signals, thereby potentially increasing the trader's success rate in the market.
