Adaptive MFI Divergence Indicator

kelmarin

Key Features:
Pivot-Based Divergence Detection:

The script identifies bullish and bearish divergences using MFI EMA and price pivots:
Bullish Divergence: Price forms a lower low, while the MFI EMA forms a higher low.
Bearish Divergence: Price forms a higher high, while the MFI EMA forms a lower high.
Pivots are determined using configurable left and right bars for fine-tuned divergence detection.
Dynamic Entry Conditions:

For bullish divergences, the script:
Records the pivot high formed between the two pivot lows.
Triggers a buy signal only when the price closes above the recorded pivot high.
Ensures that the divergence aligns with a positive trend and occurs under favorable volatility conditions.
For bearish divergences, the script:
Records the pivot low formed between the two pivot highs.
Triggers a sell signal only when the price closes below the recorded pivot low.
Confirms the divergence aligns with a negative trend and sufficient volatility.
Trend and Volatility Filtering:

Confirms trend alignment using EMA crossovers:
Bullish Trend: EMA (25) > EMA (50).
Bearish Trend: EMA (25) < EMA (50).
Filters signals using Historical Volatility (HV):
Signals are valid only if HV exceeds its 50-period SMA benchmark, ensuring active market conditions.
Enhanced Money Flow Index (MFI):

The MFI calculation is enhanced by:
Adjusting for volume weight using a logarithmic scale based on the ratio of current to average volume.
Normalizing weights to stay within a stable range (0.5–1.5).
Offers the option to toggle between standard and adjusted MFI using the “Use adjusted MFI” input.
Clear Visual and Alert System:

Signals are marked directly on the chart:
Green "BUY" labels appear below the bars for bullish signals.
Red "SELL" labels appear above the bars for bearish signals.
Alerts for both bullish and bearish divergences enable real-time notifications.
