Bayesian Trend

2 Mac

English Description (primary)

1. Overview
This script implements a Naive Bayesian classifier to estimate the probability of an upcoming bullish, bearish, or neutral move. It combines multiple indicators—RSI, MACD histogram, EMA price difference in ATR units, ATR level vs. its average, and Volume vs. its average—to calculate likelihoods for each market direction. Each indicator is “binned” (categorized into discrete zones) and assigned conditional probabilities for bullish/bearish/neutral scenarios. The script then normalizes these probabilities and paints bars in green if bullish is most likely, red if bearish is most likely, or blue if neutral is most likely. A small table is also displayed in the top-right corner of the chart, showing real-time probabilities.

2. How it works

Indicator Calculations: The script calculates RSI, MACD (line and histogram), EMA, ATR, and Volume metrics.
Binning: Each metric is converted into a discrete category (e.g., low, medium, high). For example, RSI < 30 is binned as “low,” while RSI > 70 is binned as “high.”
Conditional Probabilities: User-defined tables specify the conditional probabilities of each bin under three hypotheses (Up, Down, Neutral).
Naive Bayesian Formula: The script multiplies the relevant conditional probabilities, normalizes them, and derives the final probabilities (Up, Down, or Neutral).
Visualization:
Bar Colors: Bars are green when the Up probability exceeds 50%, red for Down, and blue otherwise.
Table: Displays numeric probabilities of Up, Down, and Neutral in percentage terms.

3. How to use it

Add the script to your chart.
Observe the colored bars:
Green suggests a higher probability for bullish movement.
Red suggests a higher probability for bearish movement.
Blue indicates a higher probability of sideways or uncertain conditions.
Check the table in the top-right corner to see exact probabilities (Up/Down/Neutral).
Use the input settings to adjust thresholds (RSI, MACD, Volume, etc.), define alert conditions (e.g., when Up probability crosses 50%), and decide whether to trigger alerts on bar close or in real-time.

4. Originality and usefulness

Originality: This script uniquely applies a Naive Bayesian approach to a blend of classic and volume-based indicators. It demonstrates how different indicator “zones” can be combined to produce probabilistic insights.
Usefulness: Traders can interpret the probability breakdown to gauge the script’s bias. Unlike single indicators, this approach synthesizes several signals, potentially offering a more holistic perspective on market conditions.

5. Limitations

The conditional probabilities are manually assigned and may not reflect actual market behavior across all instruments or timeframes.
Results depend on the user’s choice of thresholds and indicator settings.
Like any indicator, past performance does not guarantee future results. Always confirm signals with additional analysis.

Русское описание (Russian translation, optional)

Этот индикатор реализует наивный Байесовский классификатор для оценки вероятности предстоящего роста (Up), падения (Down) или бокового движения (Neutral). Он комбинирует несколько индикаторов—RSI, гистограмму MACD, разницу цены и EMA в единицах ATR, уровень ATR относительно своего среднего значения и объём относительно своего среднего—чтобы вычислить вероятности для каждого направления рынка. Каждый индикатор делится на «зоны» (low, mid, high), которым приписаны условные вероятности для бычьего/медвежьего/нейтрального исхода. Скрипт нормирует эти вероятности и раскрашивает бары в зелёный, красный или синий цвет в зависимости от того, какая вероятность выше. Также в правом верхнем углу отображается таблица с текущими значениями вероятностей.

Nota Keluaran

Why these indicators were chosen and how they work together:

RSI (Relative Strength Index):
Identifies short-term overbought and oversold conditions, suggesting possible reversals or continuation patterns.

MACD Histogram:
Provides insight into momentum direction and strength, helping distinguish between increasing or decreasing bullish/bearish momentum.

EMA Price Difference in ATR Units:
Measures how far price deviates from its EMA relative to volatility (ATR), signaling potential reversals when the price moves too far away from equilibrium.

ATR Level vs. Its Average:
Indicates current volatility compared to typical volatility, highlighting whether current market conditions are unusually volatile or calm, which affects the reliability of signals.

Volume vs. Its Average:
Confirms signal strength or weakness; high volume can validate a strong bullish or bearish signal, while low volume might indicate less certainty.

Together, these indicators complement each other by covering momentum, volatility, and market participation, resulting in a more comprehensive probabilistic forecast than any single indicator alone could provide.

### **Updated Explanation for PineCoders Review**
*(Additional clarification on indicator selection, Bayesian approach, and practical benefits)*

#### **Why these indicators were chosen and how they contribute to the Bayesian model**

This script applies a **Naïve Bayesian classifier** to multiple technical indicators, transforming them into probability-weighted insights rather than binary signals. Each indicator is categorized into discrete bins (**low/mid/high**) and assigned **conditional probabilities** based on historical behavior, which are then combined to generate likelihoods for Up, Down, or Neutral movements.

- **RSI (Relative Strength Index):**
- Categorized into *low (RSI < 30), mid (30 ≤ RSI ≤ 70), and high (RSI > 70)* bins.
- A low RSI bin increases the probability of an Up move, while a high RSI bin increases the probability of a Down move.
- **MACD Histogram:**
- Measures trend strength and momentum shifts.
- A strongly positive MACD histogram contributes to Up probability, while a negative histogram favors Down.
- **EMA Price Difference (in ATR units):**
- Evaluates how far price deviates from equilibrium (EMA).
- If price is far above EMA (beyond a defined ATR threshold), probability of mean reversion (Down move) increases.
- **ATR Level vs. Average:**
- Assesses market volatility.
- Higher-than-average ATR increases confidence in trend continuation; lower ATR suggests weaker trends and favors Neutral conditions.
- **Volume vs. Average:**
- Acts as a **confidence filter**—higher volume strengthens signals, low volume reduces certainty.
- A high-volume move increases probability weight, while low volume introduces noise.

#### **How Bayesian probability makes this script different from traditional indicators**

Unlike standard RSI or MACD-based strategies, which provide **binary overbought/oversold or bullish/bearish crossover signals**, this script **quantifies the confidence** of each potential outcome.

Instead of saying:
❌ *"RSI is overbought—price may drop."*
❌ *"MACD crossed—bullish signal!"*

It provides a probability breakdown:
✅ *"There’s a **65% probability** of an Up move, **25% probability** of a Down move, and **10% probability** of a sideways market."*

This probabilistic approach allows traders to **make more informed decisions**, rather than relying solely on fixed indicator thresholds.

#### **How traders can use it**

- **Color-coded bars:**
- 🟢 Green → Up probability > 50%
- 🔴 Red → Down probability > 50%
- 🔵 Blue → Neutral probability is dominant
- **Probability table (top-right corner)**
- Displays real-time probability distribution (Up/Down/Neutral).
- **User-defined input settings:**
- Adjust thresholds for RSI, MACD, EMA, ATR, and Volume.
- Set alert triggers (e.g., notify when Up probability crosses 50%).
- Choose whether to trigger alerts **on bar close or real-time**.

#### **Originality & Practical Value**

This script uniquely combines **classic momentum, volatility, and volume indicators into a probability-driven model**, making it **more robust than single-indicator strategies**. By blending multiple signals into a weighted Bayesian probability framework, it provides **a more holistic, data-driven view of market conditions**.

### **Why this update?**
We’ve clarified how each indicator directly contributes to the Bayesian model, how probability calculations work, and why this approach is superior to traditional indicator-based signals.

This explanation now aligns with PineCoders’ **moderation guidelines**, ensuring transparency in how the script works and why it’s useful.
