ATR and Volume AnalysisHi!
I would like to present an indicator that's meant to measure ratio of Volatility to Volume.
Basically it measures 2 moving averages (14 and 100 period) of ATR and Volume and then compares them. The output is ATR14 / Vol14
Color scheme
Red: Volume and ATR is both below 14 period
Green: Both are above
Yellow: Volume up, volatility down
Purple: Volume down, volatility up
Then there are two lines - 1 and 1.5
That is, in my opinion, the most optimal state to trade, because 1 means that there is some volatility and it's confirmed by volume. Above 1,5 you could see it as overbought (or oversold) zone. If it's above this line, we could expect a retracement since the volatility is not backed by volume. Above 2 it's quite critical and I would suggest closing trades.
(You can use it across all timeframes. In fact it's better if you do so. Longer timeframes are good for spotting tradeable markets while shorter timeframes show overbought / oversold zones)
I have also added option to choose between 4 different moving averages, but in my opinion RMA works the best.
Feel free to share some feedback, I would really appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Beefmaster

Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR)This Pine Script implements the Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR), a risk metric that evaluates the potential losses in a financial portfolio beyond a certain confidence level, incorporating both the Value at Risk (VaR) and the expected loss given that the VaR threshold has been breached.
Key Features:
Input Parameters:
length: Defines the observation period in days (default is 252, typically used to represent the number of trading days in a year).
confidence: Specifies the confidence interval for calculating VaR and CVaR, with values between 0.5 and 0.99 (default is 0.95, indicating a 95% confidence level).
Logarithmic Returns Calculation: The script computes the logarithmic returns based on the daily closing prices, a common method to measure financial asset returns, given by:
Log Return=ln(PtPt−1)
Log Return=ln(Pt−1Pt)
where PtPt is the price at time tt, and Pt−1Pt−1 is the price at the previous time point.
VaR Calculation: Value at Risk (VaR) is estimated as the percentile of the returns array corresponding to the given confidence interval. This represents the maximum loss expected over a given time horizon under normal market conditions at the specified confidence level.
CVaR Calculation: The Conditional VaR (CVaR) is calculated as the average of the returns that fall below the VaR threshold. This represents the expected loss given that the loss has exceeded the VaR threshold.
Visualization: The script plots two key risk measures:
VaR: The maximum potential loss at the specified confidence level.
CVaR: The average of the losses beyond the VaR threshold.
The script also includes a neutral line at zero to help visualize the losses and their magnitude.
Source and Scientific Background:
The concept of Value at Risk (VaR) was popularized by J.P. Morgan in the 1990s, and it has since become a widely-used tool for risk management (Jorion, 2007). Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR), also known as Expected Shortfall, addresses the limitation of VaR by considering the severity of losses beyond the VaR threshold (Rockafellar & Uryasev, 2002). CVaR provides a more comprehensive risk measure, especially in extreme tail risk scenarios.

Candle Spread
Candle Spread is an indicator that helps traders measure the range of price movement within each candle over a specified time period. It calculates the range of the candle between the High and Low (High - Low) and displays it in a separate window below the chart as columns.
Key Features:
Colored Bars: The bars are colored based on the candle's direction:
Bullish Candle: Bars are Green.
Bearish Candle: Bars are Red.
Moving Average: The indicator includes a 30-period Simple Moving Average (SMA), which represents the overall average range of the candles.
Helps Identify Market Volatility: This indicator helps traders identify wide-range candles (signaling high volatility in the market), which could indicate a surge in momentum or potential trend reversals.
followerFollower Indicator
This custom Follower Indicator is designed to track market trends and generate buy/sell signals based on price movements and adaptive moving averages. The indicator adjusts dynamically to market conditions using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and a smoothed average of the high-low range over the last 20 bars.
Key Features:
Adaptive Trend Following: The indicator uses an EMA of the close price along with a dynamically adjusted range (high-low) to create an adaptive trend-following line.
Buy and Sell Signals: Buy signals are generated when the EMA crosses above the follower line, while sell signals occur when the follower line crosses above the EMA.
Dynamic Color Coding: The indicator line changes color based on the relationship between the price and the follower line. It turns blue when the price is above the follower line and red when the price is below.
Customizable Parameters: Users can adjust the range multiplier (oran) and the EMA period (uzunluk) to fine-tune the indicator to different market conditions.
How to Use:
Buy Signal: A buy signal is triggered when the EMA crosses above the follower line.
Sell Signal: A sell signal is triggered when the follower line crosses above the EMA.
Notes:
This indicator is intended to help identify market trends and potential entry/exit points based on price behavior and momentum.
It is recommended to use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and risk management strategies.
Feel free to adjust the parameters based on your trading style and preferences. Happy trading!
Honest Volatility Grid [Honestcowboy]The Honest Volatility Grid is an attempt at creating a robust grid trading strategy but without standard levels.
Normal grid systems use price levels like 1.01;1.02;1.03;1.04... and place an order at each of these levels. In this program instead we create a grid using keltner channels using a long term moving average.
🟦 IS THIS EVEN USEFUL?
The idea is to have a more fluid style of trading where levels expand and follow price and do not stick to precreated levels. This however also makes each closed trade different instead of using fixed take profit levels. In this strategy a take profit level can even be a loss. It is useful as a strategy because it works in a different way than most strategies, making it a good tool to diversify a portfolio of trading strategies.
🟦 STRATEGY
There are 10 levels below the moving average and 10 above the moving average. For each side of the moving average the strategy uses 1 to 3 orders maximum (3 shorts at top, 3 longs at bottom). For instance you buy at level 2 below moving average and you increase position size when level 6 is reached (a cheaper price) in order to spread risks.
By default the strategy exits all trades when the moving average is reached, this makes it a mean reversion strategy. It is specifically designed for the forex market as these in my experience exhibit a lot of ranging behaviour on all the timeframes below daily.
There is also a stop loss at the outer band by default, in case price moves too far from the mean.
What are the risks?
In case price decides to stay below the moving average and never reaches the outer band one trade can create a very substantial loss, as the bands will keep following price and are not at a fixed level.
Explanation of default parameters
By default the strategy uses a starting capital of 25000$, this is realistic for retail traders.
Lot sizes at each level are set to minimum lot size 0.01, there is no reason for the default to be risky, if you want to risk more or increase equity curve increase the number at your own risk.
Slippage set to 20 points: that's a normal 2 pip slippage you will find on brokers.
Fill limit assumtion 20 points: so it takes 2 pips to confirm a fill, normal forex spread.
Commission is set to 0.00005 per contract: this means that for each contract traded there is a 5$ or whatever base currency pair has as commission. The number is set to 0.00005 because pinescript does not know that 1 contract is 100000 units. So we divide the number by 100000 to get a realistic commission.
The script will also multiply lot size by 100000 because pinescript does not know that lots are 100000 units in forex.
Extra safety limit
Normally the script uses strategy.exit() to exit trades at TP or SL. But because these are created 1 bar after a limit or stop order is filled in pinescript. There are strategy.orders set at the outer boundaries of the script to hedge against that risk. These get deleted bar after the first order is filled. Purely to counteract news bars or huge spikes in price messing up backtest.
🟦 VISUAL GOODIES
I've added a market profile feature to the edge of the grid. This so you can see in which grid zone market has been the most over X bars in the past. Some traders may wish to only turn on the strategy whenever the market profile displays specific characteristics (ranging market for instance).
These simply count how many times a high, low, or close price has been in each zone for X bars in the past. it's these purple boxes at the right side of the chart.
🟦 Script can be fully automated to MT5
There are risk settings in lot sizes or % for alerts and symbol settings provided at the bottom of the indicator. The script will send alert to MT5 broker trying to mimic the execution that happens on tradingview. There are always delays when using a bridge to MT5 broker and there could be errors so be mindful of that. This script sends alerts in format so they can be read by tradingview.to which is a bridge between the platforms.
Use the all alert function calls feature when setting up alerts and make sure you provide the right webhook if you want to use this approach.
Almost every setting in this indicator has a tooltip added to it. So if any setting is not clear hover over the (?) icon on the right of the setting.
Adaptive Kalman Trend Filter (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Adaptive Kalman Trend Filter indicator is an advanced trend-following tool designed to help traders accurately identify market trends. Utilizing the Kalman Filter—a statistical algorithm rooted in control theory and signal processing—this indicator adapts to changing market conditions, smoothing price data to filter out noise. By focusing on state vector-based calculations, it dynamically adjusts trend and range measurements, making it an excellent tool for both trend-following and range-based trading strategies. The indicator's adaptive nature is enhanced by options for volatility adjustment and three unique Kalman filter models, each tailored for different market conditions.
█ How It Works
The Kalman Filter works by maintaining a model of the market state through matrices that represent state variables, error covariances, and measurement uncertainties. Here’s how each component plays a role in calculating the indicator’s trend:
⚪ State Vector (X): The state vector is a two-dimensional array where each element represents a market property. The first element is an estimate of the true price, while the second element represents the rate of change or trend in that price. This vector is updated iteratively with each new price, maintaining an ongoing estimate of both price and trend direction.
⚪ Covariance Matrix (P): The covariance matrix represents the uncertainty in the state vector’s estimates. It continuously adapts to changing conditions, representing how much error we expect in our trend and price estimates. Lower covariance values suggest higher confidence in the estimates, while higher values indicate less certainty, often due to market volatility.
⚪ Process Noise (Q): The process noise matrix (Q) is used to account for uncertainties in price movements that aren’t explained by historical trends. By allowing some degree of randomness, it enables the Kalman Filter to remain responsive to new data without overreacting to minor fluctuations. This noise is particularly useful in smoothing out price movements in highly volatile markets.
⚪ Measurement Noise (R): Measurement noise is an external input representing the reliability of each new price observation. In this indicator, it is represented by the setting Measurement Noise and determines how much weight is given to each new price point. Higher measurement noise makes the indicator less reactive to recent prices, smoothing the trend further.
⚪ Update Equations:
Prediction: The state vector and covariance matrix are first projected forward using a state transition matrix (F), which includes market estimates based on past data. This gives a “predicted” state before the next actual price is known.
Kalman Gain Calculation: The Kalman gain is calculated by comparing the predicted state with the actual price, balancing between the covariance matrix and measurement noise. This gain determines how much of the observed price should influence the state vector.
Correction: The observed price is then compared to the predicted price, and the state vector is updated using this Kalman gain. The updated covariance matrix reflects any adjustment in uncertainty based on the latest data.
█ Three Kalman Filter Models
Standard Model: Assumes that market fluctuations follow a linear progression without external adjustments. It is best suited for stable markets.
Volume Adjusted Model: Adjusts the filter sensitivity based on trading volume. High-volume periods result in stronger trends, making this model suitable for volume-driven assets.
Parkinson Adjusted Model: Uses the Parkinson estimator, accounting for volatility through high-low price ranges, making it effective in markets with high intraday fluctuations.
These models enable traders to choose a filter that aligns with current market conditions, enhancing trend accuracy and responsiveness.
█ Trend Strength
The Trend Strength provides a visual representation of the current trend's strength as a percentage based on oscillator calculations from the Kalman filter. This table divides trend strength into color-coded segments, helping traders quickly assess whether the market is strongly trending or nearing a reversal point. A high trend strength percentage indicates a robust trend, while a low percentage suggests weakening momentum or consolidation.
█ Trend Range
The Trend Range section evaluates the market's directional movement over a specified lookback period, highlighting areas where price oscillations indicate a trend. This calculation assesses how prices vary within the range, offering an indication of trend stability or the likelihood of reversals. By adjusting the trend range setting, traders can fine-tune the indicator’s sensitivity to longer or shorter trends.
█ Sigma Bands
The Sigma Bands in the indicator are based on statistical standard deviations (sigma levels), which act as dynamic support and resistance zones. These bands are calculated using the Kalman Filter's trend estimates and adjusted for volatility (if enabled). The bands expand and contract according to market volatility, providing a unique visualization of price boundaries. In high-volatility periods, the bands widen, offering better protection against false breakouts. During low volatility, the bands narrow, closely tracking price movements. Traders can use these sigma bands to spot potential entry and exit points, aiming for reversion trades or trend continuation setups.
Trend Based
Volatility Based
█ How to Use
Trend Following:
When the Kalman Filter is green, it signals a bullish trend, and when it’s red, it indicates a bearish trend. The Sigma Cloud provides additional insights into trend strength. In a strong bullish trend, the cloud remains below the Kalman Filter line, while in a strong bearish trend, the cloud stays above it. Expansion and contraction of the Sigma Cloud indicate market momentum changes. Rapid expansion suggests an impulsive move, which could either signal the continuation of the trend or be an early sign of a possible trend reversal.
Mean Reversion: Watch for prices touching the upper or lower sigma bands, which often act as dynamic support and resistance.
Volatility Breakouts: Enable volatility-adjusted sigma bands. During high volatility, watch for price movements that extend beyond the bands as potential breakout signals.
Trend Continuation: When the Kalman Filter line aligns with a high trend strength, it signals a continuation in that direction.
█ Settings
Measurement Noise: Adjusts how sensitive the indicator is to price changes. Higher values smooth out fluctuations but delay reaction, while lower values increase sensitivity to short-term changes.
Kalman Filter Model: Choose between the standard, volume-adjusted, and Parkinson-adjusted models based on market conditions.
Band Sigma: Sets the standard deviation used for calculating the sigma bands, directly affecting the width of the dynamic support and resistance.
Volatility Adjusted Bands: Enables bands to dynamically adapt to volatility, increasing their effectiveness in fluctuating markets.
Trend Strength: Defines the lookback period for trend strength calculation. Shorter periods result in more responsive trend strength readings, while longer periods smooth out the calculation.
Trend Range: Specifies the lookback period for the trend range, affecting the assessment of trend stability over time.

ICT Setup 03 [TradingFinder] Judas Swing NY 9:30am + CHoCH/FVG🔵 Introduction
Judas Swing is an advanced trading setup designed to identify false price movements early in the trading day. This advanced trading strategy operates on the principle that major market players, or "smart money," drive price in a certain direction during the early hours to mislead smaller traders.
This deceptive movement attracts liquidity at specific levels, allowing larger players to execute primary trades in the opposite direction, ultimately causing the price to return to its true path.
The Judas Swing setup functions within two primary time frames, tailored separately for Forex and Stock markets. In the Forex market, the setup uses the 8:15 to 8:30 AM window to identify the high and low points, followed by the 8:30 to 8:45 AM frame to execute the Judas move and identify the CISD Level break, where Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG) zones are subsequently detected.
In the Stock market, these time frames shift to 9:15 to 9:30 AM for identifying highs and lows and 9:30 to 9:45 AM for executing the Judas move and CISD Level break.
Concepts such as Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG) are crucial in this setup. An Order Block represents a chart region with a high volume of buy or sell orders placed by major financial institutions, marking significant levels where price reacts.
Fair Value Gap (FVG) refers to areas where price has moved rapidly without balance between supply and demand, highlighting zones of potential price action and future liquidity.
Bullish Setup :
Bearish Setup :
🔵 How to Use
The Judas Swing setup enables traders to pinpoint entry and exit points by utilizing Order Block and FVG concepts, helping them align with liquidity-driven moves orchestrated by smart money. This setup applies two distinct time frames for Forex and Stocks to capture early deceptive movements, offering traders optimized entry or exit moments.
🟣 Bullish Setup
In the Bullish Judas Swing setup, the first step is to identify High and Low points within the initial time frame. These levels serve as key points where price may react, forming the basis for analyzing the setup and assisting traders in anticipating future market shifts.
In the second time frame, a critical stage of the bullish setup begins. During this phase, the price may create a false break or Fake Break below the low level, a deceptive move by major players to absorb liquidity. This false move often causes smaller traders to enter positions incorrectly. After this fake-out, the price reverses upward, breaking the CISD Level, a critical point in the market structure, signaling a potential bullish trend.
Upon breaking the CISD Level and reversing upward, the indicator identifies both the Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG). The Order Block is an area where major players typically place large buy orders, signaling potential price support. Meanwhile, the FVG marks a region of supply-demand imbalance, signaling areas where price might react.
Ultimately, after these key zones are identified, a trader may open a buy position if the price reaches one of these critical areas—Order Block or FVG—and reacts positively. Trading at these levels enhances the chance of success due to liquidity absorption and support from smart money, marking an opportune time for entering a long position.
🟣 Bearish Setup
In the Bearish Judas Swing setup, analysis begins with marking the High and Low levels in the initial time frame. These levels serve as key zones where price could react, helping to signal possible trend reversals. Identifying these levels is essential for locating significant bearish zones and positioning traders to capitalize on downward movements.
In the second time frame, the primary bearish setup unfolds. During this stage, price may exhibit a Fake Break above the high, causing a brief move upward and misleading smaller traders into incorrect positions. After this false move, the price typically returns downward, breaking the CISD Level—a crucial bearish trend indicator.
With the CISD Level broken and a bearish trend confirmed, the indicator identifies the Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG). The Bearish Order Block is a region where smart money places significant sell orders, prompting a negative price reaction. The FVG denotes an area of supply-demand imbalance, signifying potential selling pressure.
When the price reaches one of these critical areas—the Bearish Order Block or FVG—and reacts downward, a trader may initiate a sell position. Entering trades at these levels, due to increased selling pressure and liquidity absorption, offers traders an advantage in profiting from price declines.
🔵 Settings
Market : The indicator allows users to choose between Forex and Stocks, automatically adjusting the time frames for the "Opening Range" and "Trading Permit" accordingly: Forex: 8:15–8:30 AM for identifying High and Low points, and 8:30–8:45 AM for capturing the Judas move and CISD Level break. Stocks: 9:15–9:30 AM for identifying High and Low points, and 9:30–9:45 AM for executing the Judas move and CISD Level break.
Refine Order Block : Enables finer adjustments to Order Block levels for more accurate price responses.
Mitigation Level OB : Allows users to set specific reaction points within an Order Block, including: Proximal: Closest level to the current price. 50% OB: Midpoint of the Order Block. Distal: Farthest level from the current price.
FVG Filter : The Judas Swing indicator includes a filter for Fair Value Gap (FVG), allowing different filtering based on FVG width: FVG Filter Type: Can be set to "Very Aggressive," "Aggressive," "Defensive," or "Very Defensive." Higher defensiveness narrows the FVG width, focusing on narrower gaps.
Mitigation Level FVG : Like the Order Block, you can set price reaction levels for FVG with options such as Proximal, 50% OB, and Distal.
CISD : The Bar Back Check option enables traders to specify the number of past candles checked for identifying the CISD Level, enhancing CISD Level accuracy on the chart.
🔵 Conclusion
The Judas Swing indicator helps traders spot reliable trading opportunities by detecting false price movements and key levels such as Order Block and FVG. With a focus on early market movements, this tool allows traders to align with major market participants, selecting entry and exit points with greater precision, thereby reducing trading risks.
Its extensive customization options enable adjustments for various market types and trading conditions, giving traders the flexibility to optimize their strategies. Based on ICT techniques and liquidity analysis, this indicator can be highly effective for those seeking precision in their entry points.
Overall, Judas Swing empowers traders to capitalize on significant market movements by leveraging price volatility. Offering precise and dependable signals, this tool presents an excellent opportunity for enhancing trading accuracy and improving performance
Percentile Momentum IndicatorInput Parameters:
lengthPercentile: Defines the period used to calculate the percentile values (default: 30).
lengthMomentum: Defines the period for calculating the Rate of Change (ROC) momentum (default: 10).
Core Logic:
Rate of Change (ROC): The script calculates the ROC of the closing price over the specified period (lengthMomentum).
Percentile Calculations: The script calculates two key percentiles:
percentile_upper (80th percentile of the high prices)
percentile_lower (20th percentile of the low prices)
Percentile Average: An average of the upper and lower percentiles is calculated (avg_percentile).
Trade Signals:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the ROC is positive, the close is above the percentile_lower, and the close is above the avg_percentile.
Sell Signal: Triggered when the ROC is negative, the close is below the percentile_upper, and the close is below the avg_percentile.
Trade State Management:
The script uses a binary state: 1 for long (buy) and -1 for short (sell).
The trade state is updated based on buy or sell signals.
Bar Coloring:
Bars are colored dynamically based on the trade state:
Green for long (buy signal).
Red for short (sell signal).
The same color is applied to the percentile and average percentile lines for visual consistency.
BarRange StrategyHello,
This is a long-only, volatility-based strategy that analyzes the range of the previous bar (high - low).
If the most recent bar’s range exceeds a threshold based on the last X bars, a trade is initiated.
You can customize the lookback period, threshold value, and exit type.
For exits, you can choose to exit after X bars or when the close price exceeds the previous bar’s high.
The strategy is designed for instruments with a long-term upward-sloping curves, such as ES1! or NQ1!. It may not perform well on other instruments.
Commissions are set to $2.50 per side ($5.00 per round trip).
Recommended timeframes are 1h and higher. With adjustments to the lookback period and threshold, it could potentially achieve similar results on lower timeframes as well.
Old Price OscillatorThe Old Price Oscillator (OPO) is a momentum indicator widely used by traders and analysts to gauge the direction and strength of price trends. It works by calculating the difference between two moving averages—a shorter-term moving average and a longer-term moving average—of a security’s price. This difference is plotted as an oscillating line, helping traders visualize the momentum and determine when price reversals or continuations might occur. Typically, when the oscillator value is positive, the price is trending upwards, suggesting potential buy signals; conversely, when the oscillator turns negative, it indicates downward momentum, which could signal a potential sell.
The OPO is similar to other oscillators, like the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), in that it uses moving averages to smooth out price fluctuations and clarify trends. Traders often customize the length of the short- and long-term moving averages to better suit specific assets or market conditions. Generally, this indicator is especially useful in markets that exhibit clear trends. However, it may generate false signals during sideways or highly volatile periods, so many traders combine the OPO with other technical indicators or filters to improve accuracy.
Z Value AlertZ Value Alert analyzes daily price movements by evaluating fluctuations relative to historical volatility. It calculates the daily percentage change in the closing price, the average of this change over 252 days, and the standard deviation. Using these values, a Z-Score is calculated, indicating how much the current price change deviates from the historical range of fluctuations.
The user can set a threshold in standard deviations (Z-Score). When the absolute Z-Score exceeds this threshold, a significant movement is detected, indicating increased volatility. The Z-Score is visualized as a histogram, and an alert can be triggered when a significant movement occurs.
The number of trading days used to calculate historical volatility is adjustable, allowing the Sigma Move Alert to be tailored to various trading strategies and analysis periods.
Additionally, a dropdown option for the calculation method is available in the input menu, allowing the user to select between:
Normal: Calculates the percentage change in closing prices without using the logarithm.
Logarithmic: Uses the natural logarithm of daily returns. This method is particularly suitable for longer timeframes and scientific analyses, as logarithmic returns are additive.
These comprehensive features allow for precise customization of the Sigma Move Alert to individual needs and specific market conditions.
Optimus trader Optimus Trader
Indicator Description:
The Optimus Trader indicator is designed for technical traders looking for entry and exit points in financial markets. It combines signals based on volume, moving averages, VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), as well as the recognition of candlestick patterns such as Pin Bar and Inside Bars. This indicator helps identify opportune moments to buy or sell based on trends, volumes, and recent liquidity zones.
Parameters and Features:
1. Simple Moving Average (MA) and VWAP:
- Optimus Trader uses a 50-period simple moving average to determine the underlying trend. It also includes VWAP for precise price analysis based on traded volumes.
- These two indicators help identify whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend, enhancing the reliability of buy and sell signals.
2. Volume :
- To avoid false signals, a volume threshold is set using a 20-period moving average, adjusted to 1.2 times the average volume. This filters signals by considering only high-volume periods, indicating heightened market interest.
3. Candlestick Pattern Recognition:
- Pin Bar: This sought-after candlestick pattern is detected for both bullish and bearish setups. A bullish or bearish *Pin Bar* often signals a possible reversal or continuation.
- *Inside Bar*: This price compression pattern is also detected, indicating a zone of indecision before a potential movement.
4. Trend:
- An uptrend is confirmed when the price is above the MA and VWAP, while a downtrend is identified when the price is below both indicators.
5. Liquidity Zones:
- Optimus Trader includes an approximate liquidity zone detection feature. By identifying recent support and resistance levels, the indicator detects if the price is near these zones. This feature strengthens the relevance of buy or sell signals.
6. Buy and Sell Signals:
- Buy: A buy signal is generated when the indicator detects a bullish *Pin Bar* or *Inside Bar* in an uptrend with high volume, and the price is close to a liquidity zone.
- Sell: A sell signal is generated when a bearish *Pin Bar* or *Inside Bar* is detected in a downtrend with high volume, and the price is near a liquidity zone.
Signal Display:
The signals are visible directly on the chart:
- A "BUY" label in green is displayed below the bar for buy signals.
- A "SELL" label in red is displayed above the bar for sell signals.
Summary:
This indicator is intended for traders seeking precise entry and exit points by integrating trend analysis, volume, and candlestick patterns. With liquidity zones, *Optimus Trader* helps minimize false signals, providing clear and accurate alerts.

Smooth Price Oscillator [BigBeluga]The Smooth Price Oscillator by BigBeluga leverages John Ehlers' SuperSmoother filter to produce a clear and smooth oscillator for identifying market trends and mean reversion points. By filtering price data over two distinct periods, this indicator effectively removes noise, allowing traders to focus on significant signals without the clutter of market fluctuations.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
● SuperSmoother-Based Oscillator:
This oscillator uses Ehlers' SuperSmoother filter, applied to two different periods, to create a smooth output that highlights price momentum and reduces market noise. The dual-period application enables a comparison of long-term and short-term price movements, making it suitable for both trend-following and reversion strategies.
// @function SuperSmoother filter based on Ehlers Filter
// @param price (float) The price series to be smoothed
// @param period (int) The smoothing period
// @returns Smoothed price
method smoother_F(float price, int period) =>
float step = 2.0 * math.pi / period
float a1 = math.exp(-math.sqrt(2) * math.pi / period)
float b1 = 2 * a1 * math.cos(math.sqrt(2) * step / period)
float c2 = b1
float c3 = -a1 * a1
float c1 = 1 - c2 - c3
float smoothed = 0.0
smoothed := bar_index >= 4
? c1 * (price + price ) / 2 + c2 * smoothed + c3 * smoothed
: price
smoothed
● Mean Reversion Signals:
The indicator identifies two types of mean reversion signals:
Simple Mean Reversion Signals: Triggered when the oscillator moves between thresholds of 1 and Overbought or between thresholds -1 and Ovesold, providing additional reversion opportunities. These signals are useful for capturing shorter-term corrections in trending markets.
Strong Mean Reversion Signals: Triggered when the oscillator above the overbought (upper band) or below oversold (lower band) thresholds, indicating a strong reversal point. These signals are marked with a "+" symbol on the chart for clear visibility.
Both types of signals are plotted on the oscillator and the main chart, helping traders to quickly identify potential trade entries or exits.
● Dynamic Bands and Thresholds:
The oscillator includes overbought and oversold bands based on a dynamically calculated standard deviation and EMA. These bands provide visual boundaries for identifying extreme price conditions, helping traders anticipate potential reversals at these levels.
● Real-Time Labels:
Labels are displayed at key thresholds and bands to indicate the oscillator’s status: "Overbought," "Oversold," and "Neutral". Mean reversion signals are also displayed on the main chart, providing an at-a-glance summary of current indicator conditions.
● Customizable Threshold Levels:
Traders can adjust the primary threshold and smoothing length according to their trading style. A higher threshold can reduce signal frequency, while a lower setting will provide more sensitivity to market reversals.
The Smooth Price Oscillator by BigBeluga is a refined, noise-filtered indicator designed to highlight mean reversion points with enhanced clarity. By providing both strong and simple reversion signals, as well as dynamic overbought/oversold bands, this tool allows traders to spot potential reversals and trend continuations with ease. Its dual representation on the oscillator and the main price chart offers flexibility and precision for any trading strategy focused on capturing cyclical market movements.
Weighted CG Oscillator with ATRATR-Weighted CG Oscillator
The ATR-Weighted CG Oscillator is an enhanced version of the Center of Gravity (CG) Oscillator, originally developed by John Ehlers . By adding the Average True Range (ATR) to dynamically adjust the oscillator’s values based on market volatility, this indicator aims to make trend signals more responsive to price changes, offering an adaptive tool for trend analysis.
Functionality Overview :
The CG Oscillator, a classic trend-following indicator, has been modified here to incorporate the ATR for improved context and adaptability in different market conditions. The indicator calculates the CG Oscillator and scales it by dividing the ATR by the closing price to normalize for volatility. This creates a “weighted” CG Oscillator that generates more contextually relevant signals. A colored line shows green for long signals (above the long threshold), red for short signals (below the short threshold), and gray for neutral conditions.
Input Parameters :
CGO Length : Sets the period of the CG Oscillator calculation.
ATR Length : Determines the period of the ATR calculation. Longer periods smooth out the volatility impact.
Long Threshold : The threshold that triggers a long signal; a long (green) signal occurs when the weighted CG Oscillator crosses above this level.
Short Threshold : The threshold that triggers a short signal; a short (red) signal occurs when the weighted CG Oscillator crosses below this level.
Source : Specifies the data source for CG Oscillator calculations, with the default set to the closing price.
Recommended Use :
This indicator is designed to be an adaptive tool, not your sole resource. To ensure its effectiveness, it’s essential to backtest the indicator on your chosen asset over your preferred timeframe. Market dynamics vary, so testing the indicator’s parameters—especially the thresholds—will allow you to find the settings that best suit your strategy. While the default values work well for some scenarios, customizing the settings will help align the indicator with your unique trading style and the asset’s characteristics.
Momentum TrackerTo screen for momentum movers, one can filter for stocks that have made a noticeable move over a set period—this initial move defines the momentum or swing move. From this list of candidates, we can create a watchlist by selecting those showing a momentum pause, such as a pullback or consolidation, which later could set up for a continuation.
This Momentum Tracker Indicator serves as a study tool to visualize when stocks historically met these momentum conditions. It marks on the chart where a stock would have appeared on the screener, allowing us to review past momentum patterns and screener requirements.
Indicator Calculation
Bullish Momentum: Price is above the lowest point within the lookback period by the specified threshold percentage.
Bearish Momentum: Price is below the highest point within the lookback period by the specified threshold percentage.
The tool is customizable in terms of lookback period and percentage threshold to accommodate different trading styles and timeframes, allowing us to set criteria that align with specific hold times and momentum requirements.
Enhanced Keltner TrendThe Enhanced Keltner Trend (EKT) indicator builds on the classic Keltner Channel, using volatility to define potential trend channels around a central moving average. It combines customizable volatility measures moving average, giving traders flexibility to adapt the trend channel to various market conditions.
How It Works?
MA Calculation:
A user-defined moving average forms the central line (or price basis) of the Keltner Channel.
Channel Width:
The width of the Keltner Channel depends on market volatility.
You can choose between two methods for measuring the volatility:
ATR-based Width: Uses the Average True Range (ATR) with customizable periods and multipliers.
Price Range Width: Uses the high and low price range over a defined period.
Trend Signal:
The trend is evaluated by price in relation to the Keltner Channel:
Bullish Trend (Blue Line): When the price crosses above the upper band, it signals upward momentum.
Bearish Trend (Orange Line): When the price crosses below the lower band, it signals downward momentum.
What Is Unique?
This Enhanced version of the Keltner Trend is for investors who want to have more control over the Keltner's channels calculation, so they can calibrate it to provide them more alpha when combined with other Technical Indicators.
Use ATR: Gives the user the choice to use the ATR for the channel width calculation, or use the default High - Low over specified period.
ATR Period: Users can modify ATR length to calculate the channels width (Volatility).
ATR Multiplier: Users can fine-tune how much of the volatility they want to factor into the channels, providing more control over the final calculation.
MA Period: Smoothing period for the Moving Averages.
MA Type: Choosing from different Moving Averages types providing different smoothing types.
Setting Alerts:
Built-in alerts for trend detection:
Bullish Trend: When price crosses the upper band, it signals a Bullish Signal (Blue Color)
Bearish Trend: When price crosses the lower band, it signals a Bearish Signal (Orange Color)

GeoMean+The Geometric Moving Average (GMA) with Sigma Bands is a technical indicator that combines trend following and volatility measurement. The blue center line represents the GMA, while the upper and lower bands (light blue) show price volatility using standard deviations (sigma). Traders can use this indicator for both trend following and mean reversion strategies. For trend following, enter long when price crosses above the GMA and short when it crosses below, using the bands as profit targets. For mean reversion, look for buying opportunities when price touches the lower band and selling opportunities at the upper band, with the GMA as your profit target. The indicator includes alerts for band touches and crosses, providing real-time notifications with symbol, timeframe, current price, and band level information. The default 100-period setting works well for daily charts, but can be adjusted shorter (20-50) for intraday trading or longer (200+) for position trading. Wider bands indicate higher volatility (use smaller positions), while narrower bands suggest lower volatility (larger positions possible). For best results, confirm signals with volume and avoid trading against strong trends. Stop losses can be placed beyond the touched band or at the GMA line, depending on your risk tolerance.
Nasan Hull-smoothed envelope The Nasan Hull-Smoothed Envelope indicator is a sophisticated overlay designed to track price movement within an adaptive "envelope." It dynamically adjusts to market volatility and trend strength, using a series of smoothing and volatility-correction techniques. Here's a detailed breakdown of its components, from the input settings to the calculated visual elements:
Inputs
look_back_length (500):
Defines the lookback period for calculating intraday volatility (IDV), smoothing it over time. A higher value means the indicator considers a longer historical range for volatility calculations.
sl (50):
Sets the smoothing length for the Hull Moving Average (HMA). The HMA smooths various lines, creating a balance between sensitivity and stability in trend signals.
mp (1.5):
Multiplier for IDV, scaling the volatility impact on the envelope. A higher multiplier widens the envelope to accommodate higher volatility, while a lower one tightens it.
p (0.625):
Weight factor that determines the balance between extremes (highest high and lowest low) and averages (sma of high and sma of low) in the high/low calculations. A higher p gives more weight to extremes, making the envelope more responsive to abrupt market changes.
Volatility Calculation (IDV)
The Intraday Volatility (IDV) metric represents the average volatility per bar as an exponentially smoothed ratio of the high-low range to the close price. This is calculated over the look_back_length period, providing a base volatility value which is then scaled by mp. The IDV enables the envelope to dynamically widen or narrow with market volatility, making it sensitive to current market conditions.
Composite High and Low Bands
The high and low bands define the upper and lower bounds of the envelope.
High Calculation
a_high:
Uses a multi-period approach to capture the highest highs over several intervals (5, 8, 13, 21, and 34 bars). Averaging these highs provides a more stable reference for the high end of the envelope, capturing both immediate and recent peak values.
b_high:
Computes the average of shorter simple moving averages (5, 8, and 13 bars) of the high prices, smoothing out fluctuations in the recent highs. This generates a balanced view of high price trends.
high_c:
Combines a_high and b_high using the weight p. This blend creates a composite high that balances between recent peaks and smoothed averages, making the upper envelope boundary adaptive to short-term price shifts.
Low Calculation
a_low and b_low:
Similar to the high calculation, these capture extreme lows and smooth low values over the same intervals. This approach creates a stable and adaptive lower bound for the envelope.
low_c:
Combines a_low and b_low using the weight p, resulting in a composite low that adjusts to price fluctuations while maintaining a stable trend line.
Volatility-Adjusted Bands
The final composite high (c_high) and composite low (c_low) bands are adjusted using IDV, which accounts for intraday volatility. When volatility is high, the bands expand; when it’s low, they contract, providing a visual representation of volatility-adjusted price bounds.
Basis Line
The basis line is a Hull Moving Average (HMA) of the average of c_high and c_low. The HMA is known for its smoothness and responsiveness, making the basis line a central trend indicator. The color of the basis line changes:
Green when the basis line is increasing.
Red when the basis line is decreasing.
This color-coded basis line serves as a quick visual reference for trend direction.
Short-Term Trend Strength Block
This component analyzes recent price action to assess short-term bullish and bearish momentum.
Conditions (green, red, green1, red1):
These are binary conditions that categorize price movements as bullish or bearish based on the close compared to the open and the close’s relationship with the exponential moving average (EMA). This separation helps capture different types of strength (above/below EMA) and different bullish or bearish patterns.
Composite Trend Strength Values:
Each of the bullish and bearish counts (above and below the EMA) is normalized, resulting in the following values:
green_EMAup_a and red_EMAup_a for bullish and bearish strength above the EMA.
green_EMAdown_a and red_EMAdown_a for bullish and bearish strength below the EMA.
Trend Strength (t_s):
This calculated metric combines the normalized trend strengths with extra weight to conditions above the EMA, giving more relevance to trends that have momentum behind them.
Enhanced Trend Strength
avg_movement:
Calculates the average absolute price movement over the short_term_length, providing a measurement of recent price activity that scales with volatility.
enhanced_t_s:
Multiplies t_s by avg_movement, creating an enhanced trend strength value that reflects both directional strength and the magnitude of recent price movement.
min and max:
Minimum and maximum percentile thresholds, respectively, based on enhanced_t_s for controlling the color gradient in the fill area.
Fill Area
The fill area between plot_c_high and plot_c_low is color-coded based on the enhanced trend strength (enhanced_t_s):
Gradient color transitions from blue to green based on the strength level, with blue representing weaker trends and green indicating stronger trends.
This visual fill provides an at-a-glance assessment of trend strength across the envelope, with color shifts highlighting momentum shifts.
Summary
The indicator’s purpose is to offer an adaptive price envelope that reflects real-time market volatility and trend strength. Here’s what each component contributes:
Basis Line: A trend-following line in the center that adjusts color based on trend direction.
Envelope (c_high, c_low): Adapts to volatility by expanding and contracting based on IDV, giving traders a responsive view of expected price bounds.
Fill Area: A color-gradient region representing trend strength within the envelope, helping traders easily identify momentum changes.
Overall, this tool helps to identify trend direction, market volatility, and strength of price movements, allowing for more informed decisions based on visual cues around price boundaries and trend momentum.
Trend Trader-RemasteredThe script was originally coded in 2018 with Pine Script version 3, and it was in invite only status. It has been updated and optimised for Pine Script v5 and made completely open source.
Overview
The Trend Trader-Remastered is a refined and highly sophisticated implementation of the Parabolic SAR designed to create strategic buy and sell entry signals, alongside precision take profit and re-entry signals based on marked Bill Williams (BW) fractals. Built with a deep emphasis on clarity and accuracy, this indicator ensures that only relevant and meaningful signals are generated, eliminating any unnecessary entries or exits.
Key Features
1) Parabolic SAR-Based Entry Signals:
This indicator leverages an advanced implementation of the Parabolic SAR to create clear buy and sell position entry signals.
The Parabolic SAR detects potential trend shifts, helping traders make timely entries in trending markets.
These entries are strategically aligned to maximise trend-following opportunities and minimise whipsaw trades, providing an effective approach for trend traders.
2) Take Profit and Re-Entry Signals with BW Fractals:
The indicator goes beyond simple entry and exit signals by integrating BW Fractal-based take profit and re-entry signals.
Relevant Signal Generation: The indicator maintains strict criteria for signal relevance, ensuring that a re-entry signal is only generated if there has been a preceding take profit signal in the respective position. This prevents any misleading or premature re-entry signals.
Progressive Take Profit Signals: The script generates multiple take profit signals sequentially in alignment with prior take profit levels. For instance, in a buy position initiated at a price of 100, the first take profit might occur at 110. Any subsequent take profit signals will then occur at prices greater than 110, ensuring they are "in favour" of the original position's trajectory and previous take profits.
3) Consistent Trend-Following Structure:
This design allows the Trend Trader-Remastered to continue signaling take profit opportunities as the trend advances. The indicator only generates take profit signals in alignment with previous ones, supporting a systematic and profit-maximising strategy.
This structure helps traders maintain positions effectively, securing incremental profits as the trend progresses.
4) Customisability and Usability:
Adjustable Parameters: Users can configure key settings, including sensitivity to the Parabolic SAR and fractal identification. This allows flexibility to fine-tune the indicator according to different market conditions or trading styles.
User-Friendly Alerts: The indicator provides clear visual signals on the chart, along with optional alerts to notify traders of new buy, sell, take profit, or re-entry opportunities in real-time.
RSI and Dev Advanced Volatility IndexEnglish Explanation of the "RSI and Dev Advanced Volatility Index" Pine Script Code
Understanding the Code
Purpose:
This Pine Script code creates a custom indicator that combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Deviation (DEV) to provide insights into market volatility.
Key Components:
* Deviation (DEV): Calculates the difference between the closing price and the 10-period simple moving average. This measures the extent to which the price deviates from its recent average, indicating volatility.
* RSI: The traditional RSI is then applied to the calculated deviations. This helps to smooth the data and identify overbought or oversold conditions in terms of volatility.
Calculation Steps:
* Deviation Calculation: The difference between the closing price and its 10-period simple moving average is calculated.
* RSI Calculation: The RSI is calculated on the deviations, providing a measure of the speed and change of volatility relative to recent volatility changes.
* Plotting:
* The RSI of the deviations is plotted on the chart.
* Horizontal lines are plotted at 50, 0, and 110 to visually represent different volatility zones.
* The area between the lines is filled with color to highlight low and high volatility regions.
Interpretation and Usage
* Volatility Analysis:
* High Volatility: When the RSI is above 50, it indicates high volatility, suggesting the market might be in a consolidation or trend reversal phase.
* Low Volatility: When the RSI is below 50, it indicates low volatility, suggesting a relatively calm market.
* Trading Signals:
* Buy Signal: When the RSI crosses above 50 from below, it might signal increasing volatility, which could be a buying opportunity.
* Sell Signal: When the RSI crosses below 50 from above, it might signal decreasing volatility, which could be a selling opportunity.
* Risk Management:
* By monitoring volatility, traders can better manage their risk. During periods of high volatility, traders might reduce their position size or adopt more conservative strategies.
Advantages
* Comprehensive: Combines RSI and DEV for a more holistic view of volatility.
* Sensitivity: Quickly responds to changes in market volatility.
* Visual Clarity: Color-coded zones provide a clear visual representation of different volatility levels.
Limitations
* Parameter Sensitivity: The indicator's performance is sensitive to parameter changes, such as the lookback period for the moving average.
* Lag: Like most technical indicators, it has some lag and might not capture every market movement.
* Not Predictive: It can only indicate current and past volatility, not future movements.
Summary
This custom indicator offers a valuable tool for analyzing market volatility. By combining RSI and DEV, it provides a more nuanced perspective on price fluctuations. However, it should be used in conjunction with other technical indicators and fundamental analysis for more robust trading decisions.
Key points to remember:
* Higher RSI values indicate higher volatility.
* Lower RSI values indicate lower volatility.
* Crossovers of the RSI line above or below 50 can provide potential trading signals.
* The indicator should be used in conjunction with other analysis tools for a more complete picture of the market.
MACD+RSI+BBDESCRIPTION
The MACD + RSI + Bollinger Bands Indicator is a comprehensive technical analysis tool designed for traders and investors to identify potential market trends and reversals. This script combines three indicators: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Bollinger Bands. Each of these indicators provides unique insights into market behavior.
FEATURES
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
The MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price.
The script calculates the MACD line, the signal line, and the histogram, which visually represents the difference between the MACD line and the signal line.
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
The RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It ranges from 0 to 100 and is typically used to identify overbought or oversold conditions.
The script allows users to set custom upper and lower thresholds for the RSI, with default values of 70 and 30, respectively.
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands consist of a middle band (EMA) and two outer bands (standard deviations away from the EMA). They help traders identify volatility and potential price reversals.
The script allows users to customize the length of the Bollinger Bands and the multiplier for the standard deviation.
Color-Coding Logic
The histogram color changes based on the following conditions:
Black: If the RSI is above the upper threshold and the closing price is above the upper Bollinger Band, or if the RSI is below the lower threshold and the closing price is below the lower Bollinger Band.
Green (#4caf50): If the RSI is above the upper threshold but the closing price is not above the upper Bollinger Band.
Light Green (#a5d6a7): If the histogram is positive and the RSI is not above the upper threshold.
Red (#f23645): If the RSI is below the lower threshold but the closing price is not below the lower Bollinger Band.

Rainbow EMA Areas with Volatility HighlightThe indicator provides traders with an enhanced visual tool to observe price movements, trend strength, and market volatility on their charts. It combines multiple EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages) with color-coded areas to indicate the market’s directional bias and a high-volatility highlight for detecting times of increased market activity.
Explanation of Key Components
Multiple EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages):
Six different EMAs are calculated for various periods (15, 45, 100, 150, 200, 300).
Each EMA period represents a different timeframe, from short-term to long-term trends, providing a well-rounded view of price behavior across different market cycles.
The EMAs are color-coded for easy differentiation:
Green shades indicate bullish trends when prices are above the EMAs.
Red shades indicate bearish trends when prices are below the EMAs.
The space between each EMA is filled with a gradient color, creating a "wave" effect that helps identify the market’s overall direction.
ATR-Based Volatility Detection:
The ATR (Average True Range), a measure of market volatility, is used to assess how much the price is fluctuating. When volatility is high, price movements are typically more significant, indicating potential trading opportunities or times to exercise caution.
The indicator calculates ATR and uses a customizable multiplier to set a high-volatility threshold.
When the ATR exceeds this threshold, it signals that the market is experiencing high volatility.
Visual High Volatility Highlight:
A yellow background appears on the chart during periods of high volatility, giving a subtle but clear visual indication that the market is active.
This highlight helps traders spot potential breakout areas or increased activity zones without obstructing the EMA areas.
Volatility Signal Markers:
Small, red triangular markers are plotted above price bars when high volatility is detected, marking these areas for additional emphasis.
These signals serve as alerts to help traders quickly recognize high volatility moments where price moves may be stronger.
How to Use This Indicator
Identify Trends Using EMA Areas:
Bullish Trend: When the price is above most or all EMAs, and the EMA areas are colored in shades of green, it indicates a strong bullish trend. Traders might look for buy opportunities in this scenario.
Bearish Trend: When the price is below most or all EMAs, and the EMA areas are colored in shades of red, it signals a bearish trend. This condition can suggest potential sell opportunities.
Consolidation or Neutral Trend: If the price is moving within the EMA bands without a clear green or red dominance, the market may be in a consolidation phase. This period often precedes a breakout in either direction.
Volatility-Based Entries and Exits:
High Volatility Areas: The yellow background and red triangular markers signal high-volatility areas. This information can be valuable for identifying potential breakout points or strong moves.
Trading in High Volatility: During high-volatility phases, the market may experience rapid price changes, which can be ideal for breakout trades. However, high volatility also involves higher risk, so traders may adjust their strategies accordingly (e.g., setting wider stops or adjusting position sizes).
Trading in Low Volatility: When the yellow background and markers are absent, volatility is lower, indicating a calmer market. In these times, traders may choose to look for range-bound trading opportunities or wait for the next trend to develop.
Combining with Other Indicators:
This indicator works well in combination with momentum or oscillating indicators like RSI or MACD, providing a well-rounded view of the market.
For example, if the indicator shows a bullish EMA area with high volatility, and an RSI is trending up, it could be a stronger buy signal. Conversely, if the indicator shows a bearish EMA area with high volatility and RSI is trending down, this could be a stronger sell signal.
Practical Trading Examples
Bullish Trend in High Volatility:
Price is above the EMAs, showing green EMA areas, and the high volatility background is active.
This indicates a strong bullish trend with significant price movement potential.
A trader could look for breakout or continuation entries in the direction of the trend.
Bearish Reversal Signal:
Price crosses below the EMAs, showing red EMA areas, while high volatility is also detected.
This suggests that the market may be reversing to a bearish trend with increased price movement.
Traders could consider taking short positions or setting stops on existing long trades.
This indicator is designed to provide a rich visual experience, making it easy to spot trends, consolidations, and volatility zones at a glance. It is best used by traders who benefit from visual cues and who seek a quick understanding of both trend direction and market activity.
