Trendline Breakout Strategy [KedArc Quant] Description
A single, rule-based system that builds two trendlines from confirmed swing pivots and trades their breakouts, with optional retest, trend-regime gates (EMA / HTF EMA), and ATR-based risk. All parts serve one decision flow: structure → breakout → gated entry → managed risk.
What it does (for traders)
Draws Up line (teal) through the last two Higher Lows and Down line (red) through the last two Lower Highs, then extends them forward.
Long when price breaks above red; Short when price breaks below teal.
Optional Retest entry: after a break, wait for a pullback toward the broken line within an ATR-scaled buffer.
Uses ATR stop and R-multiple target so risk is consistent across symbols/timeframes.
Labels HL1/HL2/LH1/LH2 so non-coders can verify which pivots built each line.
Why these components are combined
Pure breakout systems on trendlines suffer from three practical issues:
False breaks in chop → solved by trend-regime gates (EMA / HTF EMA) that only allow trades aligned with the prevailing trend.
Uneven volatility across markets/timeframes → solved by ATR-based stop/target, normalizing distance so R-multiples are comparable.
First break whipsaws near wedge apices → mitigated by the optional retest rule that demands a pullback/hold before entry.
These modules are not separate indicators with their own signals. They are support roles inside one method.
The pivot engine defines structure, the breakout detector defines signal, the regime gates decide if we’re allowed to take that signal, and the ATR module sizes risk.
Together they make the trendline breakout usable, testable, and explainable.
How it works (mechanism; each component explained)
1) Pivot engine (structure, non-repainting)
Swings are confirmed with ta.pivotlow/high(L, R). A pivot only exists after R bars (no look-ahead), so once plotted, the line built from those pivots will not repaint.
2) Trendline builder (geometry)
Teal line updates when two consecutive pivot lows satisfy HL2.price > HL1.price (and HL2 occurs after HL1).
Red line updates when two consecutive pivot highs satisfy LH2.price < LH1.price.
Lines are extended right and their current value is read every bar via line.get_price().
3) Breakout detector (signal)
On every bar, compute:
crossover(close, redLine) ⇒ Long breakout
crossunder(close, tealLine) ⇒ Short breakdown
4) Regime gates (trend filters, not separate signals)
EMA gate: allow longs only if close > EMA(len), shorts only if close < EMA(len).
HTF EMA gate (optional): same rule on a higher timeframe to avoid fighting the larger trend.
These do not create entries; they simply permit or block the breakout signal.
5) Retest module (optional confirmation)
After a breakout, record the line price. A valid retest occurs if price pulls back within an ATR-scaled buffer toward that broken line and then closes back in the breakout direction.
This reduces first-tick fakeouts.
6) Risk module (position exit)
Initial stop = ATR(len) × atrMult from entry.
Target = tpR × (ATR × atrMult) (e.g., 2R).
This keeps results consistent across instruments/timeframes.
Entries & exits
Long entry
Base: close breaks above red and passes EMA/HTF gates.
Retest (if enabled): after the break, price pulls back near the broken red line (within the ATR buffer) and holds; then enter.
Short entry
Mirror logic with teal (break below & gates), optionally with a retest.
Exit
strategy.exit places ATR stop & R-multiple target automatically.
Optional “flip”: close if the opposite base signal triggers.
How to use it (step-by-step)
Timeframe: 1–15m for intraday, 1–4h for swing.
Start defaults: Pivot L/R = 5, EMA len = 200, ATR len = 14, ATR mult = 2, TP = 2R, Retest = ON.
Tune sensitivity:
Faster lines (more trades): set L/R = 3–4.
Fewer counter-trend trades: enable HTF EMA (e.g., 60-min or Daily).
Visual audit: labels HL1/HL2 & LH1/LH2 show which pivots built each line—verify by eye.
Alerts: use Long breakout, Short breakdown, and Retest alerts to automate.
Originality (why it merits publication)
Trades the visualization: many “auto-trendline” tools only draw lines; this one turns them into testable, alertable rules.
Integrated design: each component has a defined role in the same pipeline—no unrelated indicators bolted together.
Transparent & non-repainting: pivot confirmation removes look-ahead; labels let non-coders understand the setup that produced each signal.
Notes & limitations
Lines update only after pivot confirmation; that lag is intentional to avoid repainting.
Breakouts near an apex can whipsaw; prefer Retest and/or HTF gate in choppy regimes.
Backtests are idealized; forward-test and size risk appropriately.

Structural Liquidity Signals [BullByte]Structural Liquidity Signals (SFP, FVG, BOS, AVWAP)
Short description
Detects liquidity sweeps (SFPs) at pivots and PD/W levels, highlights the latest FVG, tracks AVWAP stretch, arms percentile extremes, and triggers after confirmed micro BOS.
Full description
What this tool does
Structural Liquidity Signals shows where price likely tapped liquidity (stop clusters), then waits for structure to actually change before it prints a trigger. It spots:
Liquidity sweeps (SFPs) at recent pivots and at prior day/week highs/lows.
The latest Fair Value Gap (FVG) that often “pulls” price or serves as a reaction zone.
How far price is stretched from two VWAP anchors (one from the latest impulse, one from today’s session), scaled by ATR so it adapts to volatility.
A “percentile” extreme of an internal score. At extremes the script “arms” a setup; it only triggers after a small break of structure (BOS) on a closed bar.
Originality and design rationale, why it’s not “just a mashup”
This is not a mashup for its own sake. It’s a purpose-built flow that links where liquidity is likely to rest with how structure actually changes:
- Liquidity location: We focus on areas where stops commonly cluster—recent pivots and prior day/week highs/lows—then detect sweeps (SFPs) when price wicks beyond and closes back inside.
- Displacement context: We track the last Fair Value Gap (FVG) to account for recent inefficiency that often acts as a magnet or reaction zone.
- Stretch measurement: We anchor VWAP to the latest N-bar impulse and to the Daily session, then normalize stretch by ATR to assess dislocation consistently across assets/timeframes.
- Composite exhaustion: We combine stretch, wick skew, and volume surprise, then bend the result with a tanh transform so extremes are bounded and comparable.
- Dynamic extremes and discipline: Rather than triggering on every sweep, we “arm” at statistical extremes via percent-rank and only fire after a confirmed micro Break of Structure (BOS). This separates “interesting” from “actionable.”
Key concepts
SFP (liquidity sweep): A candle briefly trades beyond a level (where stops sit) and closes back inside. We detect these at:
Pivots (recent swing highs/lows confirmed by “left/right” bars).
Prior Day/Week High/Low (PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL).
FVG (Fair Value Gap): A small 3‑bar gap (bar2 high vs bar1 low, or vice versa). The latest gap often acts like a magnet or reaction zone. We track the most recent Up/Down gap and whether price is inside it.
AVWAP stretch: Distance from an Anchored VWAP divided by ATR (volatility). We use:
Impulse AVWAP: resets on each new N‑bar high/low.
Daily AVWAP: resets each new session.
PR (Percentile Rank): Where the current internal score sits versus its own recent history (0..100). We arm shorts at high PR, longs at low PR.
Micro BOS: A small break of the recent high (for longs) or low (for shorts). This is the “go/no‑go” confirmation.
How the parts work together
Find likely liquidity grabs (SFPs) at pivots and PD/W levels.
Add context from the latest FVG and AVWAP stretch (how far price is from “fair”).
Build a bounded score (so different markets/timeframes are comparable) and compute its percentile (PR).
Arm at extremes (high PR → short candidate; low PR → long candidate).
Only print a trigger after a micro BOS, on a closed bar, with spacing/cooldown rules.
What you see on the chart (legend)
Lines:
Teal line = Impulse AVWAP (resets on new N‑bar extreme).
Aqua line = Daily AVWAP (resets each session).
PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL = prior day/week levels (toggle on/off).
Zones:
Greenish box = latest Up FVG; Reddish box = latest Down FVG.
The shading/border changes after price trades back through it.
SFP labels:
SFP‑P = SFP at Pivot (dotted line marks that pivot’s price).
SFP‑L = SFP at Level (at PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL).
Throttle: To reduce clutter, SFPs are rate‑limited per direction.
Triggers:
Triangle up = long trigger after BOS; triangle down = short trigger after BOS.
Optional badge shows direction and PR at the moment of trigger.
Optional Trigger Zone is an ATR‑sized box around the trigger bar’s close (for visualization only).
Background:
Light green/red shading = a long/short setup is “armed” (not a trigger).
Dashboard (Mini/Pro) — what each item means
PR: Percentile of the internal score (0..100). Near 0 = bullish extreme, near 100 = bearish extreme.
Gauge: Text bar that mirrors PR.
State: Idle, Armed Long (with a countdown), or Armed Short.
Cooldown: Bars remaining before a new setup can arm after a trigger.
Bars Since / Last Px: How long since last trigger and its price.
FVG: Whether price is in the latest Up/Down FVG.
Imp/Day VWAP Dist, PD Dist(ATR): Distance from those references in ATR units.
ATR% (Gate), Trend(HTF): Status of optional regime filters (volatility/trend).
How to use it (step‑by‑step)
Keep the Safety toggles ON (default): triggers/visuals on bar‑close, optional confirmed HTF for trend slope.
Choose timeframe:
Intraday (5m–1h) or Swing (1h–4h). On very fast/thin charts, enable Performance mode and raise spacing/cooldown.
Watch the dashboard:
When PR reaches an extreme and an SFP context is present, the background shades (armed).
Wait for the trigger triangle:
It prints only after a micro BOS on a closed bar and after spacing/cooldown checks.
Use the Trigger Zone box as a visual reference only:
This script never tells you to buy/sell. Apply your own plan for entry, stop, and sizing.
Example:
Bullish: Sweep under PDL (SFP‑L) and reclaim; PR in lower tail arms long; BOS up confirms → long trigger on bar close (ATR-sized trigger zone shown).
Bearish: Sweep above PDH/pivot (SFP‑L/P) and reject; PR in upper tail arms short; BOS down confirms → short trigger on bar close (ATR-sized trigger zone shown).
Settings guide (with “when to adjust”)
Safety & Stability (defaults ON)
Confirm triggers at bar close, Draw visuals at bar close: Keep ON for clean, stable prints.
Use confirmed HTF values: Applies to HTF trend slope only; keeps it from changing until the HTF bar closes.
Performance mode: Turn ON if your chart is busy or laggy.
Core & Context
ATR Length: Bigger = smoother distances; smaller = more reactive.
Impulse AVWAP Anchor: Larger = fewer resets; smaller = resets more often.
Show Daily AVWAP: ON if you want session context.
Use last FVG in logic: ON to include FVG context in arming/score.
Show PDH/PDL/PWH/PWL: ON to see prior day/week levels that often attract sweeps.
Liquidity & Microstructure
Pivot Left/Right: Higher values = stronger/rarer pivots.
Min Wick Ratio (0..1): Higher = only more pronounced SFP wicks qualify.
BOS length: Larger = stricter BOS; smaller = quicker confirmations.
Signal persistence: Keeps SFP context alive for a few bars to avoid flicker.
Signal Gating
Percent‑Rank Lookback: Larger = more stable extremes; smaller = more reactive extremes.
Arm thresholds (qHi/qLo): Move closer to 0.5 to see more arms; move toward 0/1 to see fewer arms.
TTL, Cooldown, Min bars and Min ATR distance: Space out triggers so you’re not reacting to minor noise.
Regime Filters (optional)
ATR percentile gate: Only allow triggers when volatility is at/above a set percentile.
HTF trend gate: Only allow longs when the HTF slope is up (and shorts when it’s down), above a minimum slope.
Visuals & UX
Only show “important” SFPs: Filters pivot SFPs by Volume Z and |Impulse stretch|.
Trigger badges/history and Max badge count: Control label clutter.
Compact labels: Toggle SFP‑P/L vs full names.
Dashboard mode and position; Dark theme.
Reading PR (the built‑in “oscillator”)
PR ~ 0–10: Potential bullish extreme (long side can arm).
PR ~ 90–100: Potential bearish extreme (short side can arm).
Important: “Armed” ≠ “Enter.” A trigger still needs a micro BOS on a closed bar and spacing/cooldown to pass.
Repainting, confirmations, and HTF notes
By default, prints wait for the bar to close; this reduces repaint‑like effects.
Pivot SFPs only appear after the pivot confirms (after the chosen “right” bars).
PD/W levels come from the prior completed candles and do not change intraday.
If you enable confirmed HTF values, the HTF slope will not change until its higher‑timeframe bar completes (safer but slightly delayed).
Performance tips
If labels/zones clutter or the chart lags:
Turn ON Performance mode.
Hide FVG or the Trigger Zone.
Reduce badge history or turn badge history off.
If price scaling looks compressed:
Keep optional “score”/“PR” plots OFF (they overlay price and can affect scaling).
Alerts (neutral)
Structural Liquidity: LONG TRIGGER
Structural Liquidity: SHORT TRIGGER
These fire when a trigger condition is met on a confirmed bar (with defaults).
Limitations and risk
Not every sweep/extreme reverses; false triggers occur, especially on thin markets and low timeframes.

Kalman Adjusted Average True Range [BackQuant]Kalman Adjusted Average True Range
A volatility-aware trend baseline that fuses a Kalman price estimate with ATR “rails” to create a smooth, adaptive guide for entries, exits, and trailing risk.
Built on my original Kalman
This indicator is based on my original Kalman Price Filter:
That core smoother is used here to estimate the “true” price path, then blended with ATR to control step size and react proportionally to market noise.
What it plots
Kalman ATR Line the main baseline that turns up/down with the filtered trend.
Optional Moving Average of the Kalman ATR a secondary line for confluence (SMA/Hull/EMA/WMA/DEMA/RMA/LINREG/ALMA).
Candle Coloring (optional) paint bars by the baseline’s current direction.
Why combine Kalman + ATR?
Kalman reduces measurement noise and produces a stable path without the lag of heavy MAs.
ATR rails scale the baseline’s step to current volatility, so it’s calm in chop and more responsive in expansion.
The result is a single, intelligible line you can trade around: slope-up = constructive; slope-down = caution.
How it works (plain English)
Each bar, the Kalman filter updates an internal state (tunable via Process Noise , Measurement Noise , and Filter Order ) to estimate the underlying price.
An ATR band (Period × Factor) defines the allowed per-bar adjustment. The baseline cannot “jump” beyond those rails in one step.
A direction flip is detected when the baseline’s slope changes sign (upturn/downturn), and alerts are provided for both.
Typical uses
Trend confirmation Trade in the baseline’s direction; avoid fading a firmly rising/falling line.
Pullback timing Look for entries when price mean-reverts toward a rising baseline (or exits on tags of a falling one).
Trailing risk Use the baseline as a dynamic guide; many traders set stops a small buffer beyond it (e.g., a fraction of ATR).
Confluence Enable the MA overlay of the Kalman ATR; alignment (baseline above its MA and rising) supports continuation.
Inputs & what they do
Calculation
Kalman Price Source which price the filter tracks (Close by default).
Process Noise how quickly the filter can adapt. Higher = more responsive (but choppier).
Measurement Noise how much you distrust raw price. Higher = smoother (but slower to turn).
Filter Order (N) depth of the internal state array. Higher = slightly steadier behavior.
Kalman ATR
Period ATR lookback. Shorter = snappier; longer = steadier.
Factor scales the allowed step per bar. Larger factors permit faster drift; smaller factors clamp movement.
Confluence (optional)
MA Type & Period compute an MA on the Kalman ATR line , not on price.
Sigma (ALMA) if ALMA is selected, this input controls the curve’s shape. (Ignored for other MA types.)
Visuals
Plot Kalman ATR toggle the main line.
Paint Candles color bars by up/down slope.
Colors choose long/short hues.
Signals & alerts
Trend Up baseline turns upward (slope crosses above 0).
Alert: “Kalman ATR Trend Up”
Trend Down baseline turns downward (slope crosses below 0).
Alert: “Kalman ATR Trend Down”
These are state flips , not “price crossovers,” so you avoid many one-bar head-fakes.
How to start (fast presets)
Swing (daily/4H) ATR Period 7–14, Factor 0.5–0.8, Process Noise 0.02–0.05, Measurement Noise 2–4, N = 3–5.
Intraday (5–15m) ATR Period 5–7, Factor 0.6–1.0, Process Noise 0.05–0.10, Measurement Noise 2–3, N = 3–5.
Slow assets / FX raise Measurement Noise or ATR Period for calmer lines; drop Factor if the baseline feels too jumpy.
Reading the line
Rising & curving upward momentum building; consider long bias until a clear downturn.
Flat & choppy regime uncertainty; many traders stand aside or tighten risk.
Falling & accelerating distribution lower; short bias until a clean upturn.
Practical playbook
Continuation entries After a Trend Up alert, wait for a minor pullback toward the baseline; enter on evidence the line keeps rising.
Exit/reduce If long and the baseline flattens then turns down, trim or exit; reverse logic for shorts.
Filters Add a higher-timeframe check (e.g., only take longs when the daily Kalman ATR is rising).
Stops Place stops just beyond the baseline (e.g., baseline − x% ATR for longs) to avoid “tag & reverse” noise.
Notes
This is a guide to state and momentum, not a guarantee. Combine with your process (structure, volume, time-of-day) for decisions.
Settings are asset/timeframe dependent; start with the presets and nudge Process/Measurement Noise until the baseline “feels right” for your market.
Summary
Kalman ATR takes the noise-reduction of a Kalman price estimate and couples it with volatility-scaled movement to produce a clean, adaptive baseline. If you liked the original Kalman Price Filter (), this is its trend-trading cousin purpose-built for cleaner state flips, intuitive trailing, and confluence with your existing
Gann Fan Strategy [KedarArc Quant]Description
A single-concept, rule-based strategy that trades around a programmatic Gann Fan.
It anchors to a swing (or a manual point), builds 1×1 and related fan lines numerically, and triggers entries when price interacts with the 1×1 (breakout or bounce). Management is done entirely with the fan structure (next/previous line) plus optional ATR trailing.
What TV indicators are used
* Pivots: `ta.pivothigh/ta.pivotlow` to confirm swing highs/lows for anchor selection.
* ATR: `ta.atr` only to scale the 1×1 slope (optional) and for an optional trailing stop.
* EMA: `ta.ema` as a trend filter (e.g., only long above the EMA, short below).
No RSI/MACD/Stoch/Heikin/etc. The logic is one coherent framework: Gann price–time geometry, with ATR as a scale and EMA as a risk filter.
How it works
1. Anchor
* Auto: chooses the most recent *confirmed* pivot (you control Left/Right).
* Manual: set a price and bar index and the fan will hold that point (no re-anchoring).
* Optional Re-anchor when a newer pivot confirms.
2. 1×1 Slope (numeric, not cosmetic)
* ATR mode: `1×1 = ATR(Length) × Multiplier` (adapts to volatility).
* Fixed mode: `ticks per bar` (constant slope).
Because slope is numeric, it doesn’t change with chart zoom, unlike the drawing tool.
3. Fan Lines
Builds classic ratios around the 1×1: 1/8, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 3/1, 4/1, 8/1.
4. Signals
* Breakout: cross of price over/under the 1×1 in the EMA-aligned direction.
* Bounce (optional): touch + reversal across the 1×1 to reduce whipsaw.
5. Exits & Risk
* Take-profit at the next fan line; Stop at the previous fan line.
* If a level is missing (right after re-anchor), a fallback Risk-Reward (RR) is used.
* Optional ATR trailing stop.
Why this is unique
* True numeric fan: The 1×1 slope is calculated from ATR or fixed ticks—not from screen geometry—so it is scale-invariant and reproducible across users/timeframes.
* Deterministic anchor logic: Uses confirmed pivots (with your L/R settings). No look-ahead; anchors update only when the right bars complete.
* Fan-native trade management: Both entries and exits come from the fan structure itself (with a minimal ATR/EMA assist), keeping the method pure.
* Two entry archetypes: Breakout for momentum days; Bounce for range days—switchable without changing the core model.
* Manual mode: Lock a session’s bias by anchoring to a chosen swing (e.g., day’s first major low/high) and keep the fan constant all day.
Inputs (quick guide)
* Auto Anchor (Left/Right): pivot sensitivity. Higher values = fewer, stronger anchors.
* Re-anchor: refresh to newer pivots as they confirm.
* Manual Anchor Price / Bar Index: fixes the fan (turn Auto off).
* Scale 1×1 by ATR: on = adaptive; off = use ticks per bar.
* ATR Length / ATR Multiplier: controls adaptive slope; start around 14 / 0.25–0.35.
* Ticks per bar: exact fixed slope (match a hand-drawn fan by computing slope ÷ mintick).
* EMA Trend Filter: e.g., 50–100; trades only in EMA direction.
* Use Bounce: require touch + reverse across 1×1 (helps in chop).
* TP/SL at fan lines; Fallback RR for missing levels; ATR Trailing Stop optional.
* Transparency/Plot EMA: visual preferences.
Tips
* Range days: larger pivots (L/R 8–12), Bounce ON, ATR Multiplier \~0.30–0.40, EMA 100.
* Trend days: L/R 5–6, Breakout, Multiplier \~0.20–0.30, EMA 50, ATR trail 1.0–1.5.
* Match the TV Gann Fan drawing: turn ATR scale OFF, set ticks per bar = `(Δprice between anchor and 1×1 target) / (bars) / mintick`.
Repainting & testing notes
* Pivots require Right bars to confirm; anchors are set after confirmation (no look-ahead).
* Signals use the current bar close with TradingView strategy mechanics; real-time vs. bar-close can differ slightly, as with any strategy.
* Re-anchoring legitimately moves the structure when new pivots confirm—by design.

Deadband Hysteresis Supertrend [BackQuant]Deadband Hysteresis Supertrend
A two-stage trend tool that first filters price with a deadband baseline, then runs a Supertrend around that baseline with optional flip hysteresis and ATR-based adverse exits.
What this is
A hybrid of two ideas:
Deadband Hysteresis Baseline that only advances when price pulls far enough from the baseline to matter. This suppresses micro noise and gives you a stable centerline.
Supertrend bands wrapped around that baseline instead of raw price. Flips are further gated by an extra margin so side changes are more deliberate.
The goal is fewer whipsaws in chop and clearer regime identification during trends.
How it works (high level)
Deadband step — compute a per-bar “deadband” size from one of four modes: ATR, Percent of price, Ticks, or Points. If price deviates from the baseline by more than this amount, move the baseline forward by a fraction of the excess. If not, hold the line.
Centered Supertrend — build upper and lower bands around the baseline using ATR and a user factor. Track the usual trailing logic that tightens a band while price moves in its favor.
Flip hysteresis — require price to exceed the active band by an extra flip offset × ATR before switching sides. This adds stickiness at the boundary.
Adverse exit — once a side is taken, trigger an exit if price moves against the entry by K × ATR .
If you would like to check out the filter by itself:
What it plots
DBHF baseline (optional) as a smooth centerline.
DBHF Supertrend as the active trailing band.
Candle coloring by trend side for quick read.
Signal markers 𝕃 and 𝕊 at flips plus ✖ on adverse exits.
Inputs that matter
Price Source — series being filtered. Close is typical. HL2 or HLC3 can be steadier.
Deadband mode — ATR, Percent, Ticks, or Points. This defines the “it’s big enough to matter” zone.
ATR Length / Mult (DBHF) — only used when mode = ATR. Larger values widen the do-nothing zone.
Percent / Ticks / Points — alternatives to ATR; pick what fits your market’s convention.
Enter Mult — scales the deadband you must clear before the baseline moves. Increase to filter more noise.
Response — fraction of the excess applied to baseline movement. Higher responds faster; lower is smoother.
Supertrend ATR Period & Factor — traditional band size controls; higher factor widens and flips less often.
Flip Offset ATR — extra ATR buffer required to flip. Useful in choppy regimes.
Adverse Stop K·ATR — per-trade danger brake that forces an exit if price moves K×ATR against entry.
UI — toggle baseline, supertrend, signals, and bar painting; choose long and short colors.
How to read it
Green regime — candles painted long and the Supertrend running below price. Pullbacks toward the baseline that fail to breach the opposite band often resume higher.
Red regime — candles painted short and the Supertrend running above price. Rallies that cannot reclaim the band may roll over.
Frequent side swaps — reduce sensitivity by increasing Enter Mult, using ATR mode, raising the Supertrend factor, or adding Flip Offset ATR.
Use cases
Bias filter — allow entries only in the direction of the current side. Use your preferred triggers inside that bias.
Trailing logic — treat the active band as a dynamic stop. If the side flips or an adverse K·ATR exit prints, reduce or close exposure.
Regime map — on higher timeframes, the combination baseline + band produces a clean up vs down template for allocation decisions.
Tuning guidance
Fast markets — ATR deadband, modest Enter Mult (0.8–1.2), response 0.2–0.35, Supertrend factor 1.7–2.2, small Flip Offset (0.2–0.5 ATR).
Choppy ranges — widen deadband or raise Enter Mult, lower response, and add more Flip Offset so flips require stronger evidence.
Slow trends — longer ATR periods and higher Supertrend factor to keep you on side longer; use a conservative adverse K.
Included alerts
DBHF ST Long — side flips to long.
DBHF ST Short — side flips to short.
Adverse Exit Long / Short — K·ATR stop triggers against the current side.
Strengths
Deadbanded baseline reduces micro whipsaws before Supertrend logic even begins.
Flip hysteresis adds a second layer of confirmation at the boundary.
Optional adverse ATR stop provides a uniform risk cut across assets and regimes.
Clear visuals and minimal parameters to adjust for symbol behavior.
Putting it together
Think of this tool as two decisions layered into one view. The deadband baseline answers “does this move even count,” then the Supertrend wrapped around that baseline answers “if it counts, which side should I be on and where do I flip.” When both parts agree you tend to stay on the correct side of a trend for longer, and when they disagree you get an early warning that conditions are changing.
When the baseline bends and price cannot reclaim the opposite band , momentum is usually continuing. Pullbacks into the baseline that stall before the far band often resolve in trend.
When the baseline flattens and the bands compress , expect indecision. Use the Flip Offset ATR to avoid reacting to the first feint. Wait for a clean band breach with follow through.
When an adverse K·ATR exit prints while the side has not flipped , treat it as a risk event rather than a full regime change. Many users cut size, re-enter only if the side reasserts, and let the next flip confirm a new trend.
Final thoughts
Deadband Hysteresis Supertrend is best read as a regime lens. The baseline defines your tolerance for noise, the bands define your trailing structure, and the flip offset plus adverse ATR stop define how forgiving or strict you want to be at the boundary. On strong trends it helps you hold through shallow shakeouts. In choppy conditions it encourages patience until price does something meaningful. Start with settings that reflect the cadence of your market, observe how often flips occur, then nudge the deadband and flip offset until the tool spends most of its time describing the move you care about rather than the noise in between.

2ATR / Close %Certainly. Here is the English version of the indicator description you requested.
---
### **2ATR Stop-Loss Ratio**
This indicator provides a straightforward calculation of **what percentage a 2ATR (Average True Range) move represents relative to the current price**. It's a specialized tool designed to help traders set dynamic, volatility-based stop-loss levels.
---
### **Purpose of the Indicator**
Many traders use a **2ATR** as their standard for setting a stop-loss, believing it's a good measure of a stock's typical movement. However, it can be difficult to quickly determine the exact percentage a 2ATR drop represents from the current price. This indicator solves that problem by giving you a clear, single number that shows the **anticipated percentage loss before you even enter a position**.
---
### **How It Works**
The indicator is calculated using a simple formula:
**(2 * ATR(20) / Current Price) * 100**
* `ATR(20)`: The Average True Range over the last 20 periods. This period can be customized in the indicator's settings.
* `Current Price`: The closing price at the time of calculation.
---
### **How to Use It**
* **Assess Risk**: A higher number on the indicator means greater volatility, indicating a wider stop-loss range.
* **Set a Stop-Loss**: If the indicator shows **3%**, it means a 2ATR move is roughly a 3% change from the current price. This gives you a clear understanding of the potential loss.
* **Adjust Position Size**: If the potential percentage loss is larger than you're comfortable with, you can use this information to reduce your position size, effectively managing your risk.
This tool is especially useful for trading highly volatile stocks, as it helps you establish a clear and effective risk management strategy.
NY Anchored VWAP and Auto SMANY Anchored VWAP and Auto SMA
This script is a versatile trading indicator for the TradingView platform that combines two powerful components: a New York-anchored Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) and a dynamic Simple Moving Average (SMA). Designed for traders who utilize VWAP for intraday trend analysis, this tool provides a clear visual representation of average price and volatility-adjusted moving averages, generating automated alerts for key crossover signals.
Indicator Components
1. NY Anchored VWAP
The VWAP is a crucial tool that represents the average price of a security adjusted for volume. This version is "anchored" to the start of the New York trading session, resetting at the beginning of each new session. This provides a clean, session-specific anchor point to gauge market sentiment and trend. The VWAP line changes color to reflect its slope:
Green: When the VWAP is trending upwards, indicating a bullish bias.
Red: When the VWAP is trending downwards, indicating a bearish bias.
2. Auto SMA
The Auto SMA is a moving average with a unique twist: its lookback period is not fixed. Instead, it dynamically adjusts based on market volatility. The script measures volatility using the Average True Range (ATR) and a Z-Score calculation.
When volatility is expanding, the SMA's length shortens, making it more sensitive to recent price changes.
When volatility is contracting, the SMA's length lengthens, smoothing out the price action to filter out noise.
This adaptive approach allows the SMA to react appropriately to different market conditions.
Suggested Trading Strategy
This indicator is particularly effective when used on a one-minute chart for identifying high-probability trade entries. The core of the strategy is to trade the crossover between the VWAP and the Auto SMA, with confirmation from a candle close.
The strategy works best when the entry signal aligns with the overall bias of the higher timeframe market structure. For example, if the daily or 4-hour chart is in an uptrend, you would look for bullish signals on the one-minute chart.
Bullish Entry Signal: A potential entry is signaled when the VWAP crosses above the Auto SMA, and is confirmed when the one-minute candle closes above both the VWAP and the SMA. This indicates a potential continuation of the bullish momentum.
Bearish Entry Signal: A potential entry is signaled when the VWAP crosses below the Auto SMA, and is confirmed when the one-minute candle closes below both the VWAP and the SMA. This indicates a potential continuation of the bearish momentum.
The built-in alerts for these crossovers allow you to receive notifications without having to constantly monitor the charts, ensuring you don't miss a potential setup.
Sentinel 5 — OHL daybreak signals [KedArc Quant]Overview
Sentinel 5 plots the first-bar high/low of each trading session and gives clean, rules-based signals in two ways:
1) OHL Setups at the close of the first bar (Open equals/near High for potential short; Open equals/near Low for potential long).
2) Breakout Signals later in the session when price breaks the first-bar High/Low, with optional body/penetration filters.
Basic workflow
1. Wait for the first session bar to finish.
*If O≈H (optionally by proximity) → short setup. •
*If O≈L → long setup. • If neither happens, optionally allow later breakouts.
2. Optional: Act only on breakouts that penetrate a minimum % of that bar’s range/body.
3. Skip the day automatically if the first bar is abnormally large (marubozu-like / extreme ATR / outsized vs yesterday).
Signals & Markers
Markers on the chart:
▲ O=L (exact) / O near L (proximity) – long setup at first-bar close.
▼ O=H (exact) / O near H (proximity) – short setup at first-bar close.
▲ Breakout Long – later bar breaks above first-bar High meeting your penetration rule.
▼ Breakout Short – later bar breaks below first-bar Low meeting your penetration rule.
Advanced Range Analyzer ProAdvanced Range Analyzer Pro – Adaptive Range Detection & Breakout Forecasting
Overview
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro is a comprehensive trading tool designed to help traders identify consolidations, evaluate their strength, and forecast potential breakout direction. By combining volatility-adjusted thresholds, volume distribution analysis, and historical breakout behavior, the indicator builds an adaptive framework for navigating sideways price action. Instead of treating ranges as noise, this system transforms them into opportunities for mean reversion or breakout trading.
How It Works
The indicator continuously scans price action to identify active range environments. Ranges are defined by volatility compression, repeated boundary interactions, and clustering of volume near equilibrium. Once detected, the indicator assigns a strength score (0–100), which quantifies how well-defined and compressed the consolidation is.
Breakout probabilities are then calculated by factoring in:
Relative time spent near the upper vs. lower range boundaries
Historical breakout tendencies for similar structures
Volume distribution inside the range
Momentum alignment using auxiliary filters (RSI/MACD)
This creates a live probability forecast that updates as price evolves. The tool also supports range memory, allowing traders to analyze the last completed range after a breakout has occurred. A dynamic strength meter is displayed directly above each consolidation range, providing real-time insight into range compression and breakout potential.
Signals and Breakouts
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro includes a structured set of visual tools to highlight actionable conditions:
Range Zones – Gradient-filled boxes highlight active consolidations.
Strength Meter – A live score displayed in the dashboard quantifies compression.
Breakout Labels – Probability percentages show bias toward bullish or bearish continuation.
Breakout Highlights – When a breakout occurs, the range is marked with directional confirmation.
Dashboard Table – Displays current status, strength, live/last range mode, and probabilities.
These elements update in real time, ensuring that traders always see the current state of consolidation and breakout risk.
Interpretation
Range Strength : High scores (70–100) indicate strong consolidations likely to resolve explosively, while low scores suggest weak or choppy ranges prone to false signals.
Breakout Probability : Directional bias greater than 60% suggests meaningful breakout pressure. Equal probabilities indicate balanced compression, favoring mean-reversion strategies.
Market Context : Ranges aligned with higher timeframe trends often resolve in the dominant direction, while counter-trend ranges may lead to reversals or liquidity sweeps.
Volatility Insight : Tight ranges with low ATR imply imminent expansion; wide ranges signal extended consolidation or distribution phases.
Strategy Integration
Advanced Range Analyzer Pro can be applied across multiple trading styles:
Breakout Trading : Enter on probability shifts above 60% with confirmation of volume or momentum.
Mean Reversion : Trade inside ranges with high strength scores by fading boundaries and targeting equilibrium.
Trend Continuation : Focus on ranges that form mid-trend, anticipating continuation after consolidation.
Liquidity Sweeps : Use failed breakouts at boundaries to capture reversals.
Multi-Timeframe : Apply on higher timeframes to frame market context, then execute on lower timeframes.
Advanced Techniques
Combine with volume profiles to identify areas of institutional positioning within ranges.
Track sequences of strong consolidations for trend development or exhaustion signals.
Use breakout probability shifts in conjunction with order flow or momentum indicators to refine entries.
Monitor expanding/contracting range widths to anticipate volatility cycles.
Custom parameters allow fine-tuning sensitivity for different assets (crypto, forex, equities) and trading styles (scalping, intraday, swing).
Inputs and Customization
Range Detection Sensitivity : Controls how strictly ranges are defined.
Strength Score Settings : Adjust weighting of compression, volume, and breakout memory.
Probability Forecasting : Enable/disable directional bias and thresholds.
Gradient & Fill Options : Customize range visualization colors and opacity.
Dashboard Display : Toggle live vs last range, info table size, and position.
Breakout Highlighting : Choose border/zone emphasis on breakout events.
Why Use Advanced Range Analyzer Pro
This indicator provides a data-driven approach to trading consolidation phases, one of the most common yet underutilized market states. By quantifying range strength, mapping probability forecasts, and visually presenting risk zones, it transforms uncertainty into clarity.
Whether you’re trading breakouts, fading ranges, or mapping higher timeframe context, Advanced Range Analyzer Pro delivers a structured, adaptive framework that integrates seamlessly into multiple strategies.

Mutanabby_AI | ATR+ | Trend-Following StrategyThis document presents the Mutanabby_AI | ATR+ Pine Script strategy, a systematic approach designed for trend identification and risk-managed position entry in financial markets. The strategy is engineered for long-only positions and integrates volatility-adjusted components to enhance signal robustness and trade management.
Strategic Design and Methodological Basis
The Mutanabby_AI | ATR+ strategy is constructed upon a foundation of established technical analysis principles, with a focus on objective signal generation and realistic trade execution.
Heikin Ashi for Trend Filtering: The core price data is processed via Heikin Ashi (HA) methodology to mitigate transient market noise and accentuate underlying trend direction. The script offers three distinct HA calculation modes, allowing for comparative analysis and validation:
Manual Calculation: Provides a transparent and deterministic computation of HA values.
ticker.heikinashi(): Utilizes TradingView's built-in function, employing confirmed historical bars to prevent repainting artifacts.
Regular Candles: Allows for direct comparison with standard OHLC price action.
This multi-methodological approach to trend smoothing is critical for robust signal generation.
Adaptive ATR Trailing Stop: A key component is the Average True Range (ATR)-based trailing stop. ATR serves as a dynamic measure of market volatility. The strategy incorporates user-defined parameters (
Key Value and ATR Period) to calibrate the sensitivity of this trailing stop, enabling adaptation to varying market volatility regimes. This mechanism is designed to provide a dynamic exit point, preserving capital and locking in gains as a trend progresses.
EMA Crossover for Signal Generation: Entry and exit signals are derived from the interaction between the Heikin Ashi derived price source and an Exponential Moving Average (EMA). A crossover event between these two components is utilized to objectively identify shifts in momentum, signaling potential long entry or exit points.
Rigorous Stop Loss Implementation: A critical feature for risk mitigation, the strategy includes an optional stop loss. This stop loss can be configured as a percentage or fixed point deviation from the entry price. Importantly, stop loss execution is based on real market prices, not the synthetic Heikin Ashi values. This design choice ensures that risk management is grounded in actual market liquidity and price levels, providing a more accurate representation of potential drawdowns during backtesting and live operation.
Backtesting Protocol: The strategy is configured for realistic backtesting, employing fill_orders_on_standard_ohlc=true to simulate order execution at standard OHLC prices. A configurable Date Filter is included to define specific historical periods for performance evaluation.
Data Visualization and Metrics: The script provides on-chart visual overlays for buy/sell signals, the ATR trailing stop, and the stop loss level. An integrated information table displays real-time strategy parameters, current position status, trend direction, and key price levels, facilitating immediate quantitative assessment.
Applicability
The Mutanabby_AI | ATR+ strategy is particularly suited for:
Cryptocurrency Markets: The inherent volatility of assets such as #Bitcoin and #Ethereum makes the ATR-based trailing stop a relevant tool for dynamic risk management.
Systematic Trend Following: Individuals employing systematic methodologies for trend capture will find the objective signal generation and rule-based execution aligned with their approach.
Pine Script Developers and Quants: The transparent code structure and emphasis on realistic backtesting provide a valuable framework for further analysis, modification, and integration into broader quantitative models.
Automated Trading Systems: The clear, deterministic entry and exit conditions facilitate integration into automated trading environments.
Implementation and Evaluation
To evaluate the Mutanabby_AI | ATR+ strategy, apply the script to your chosen chart on TradingView. Adjust the input parameters (Key Value, ATR Period, Heikin Ashi Method, Stop Loss Settings) to observe performance across various asset classes and timeframes. Comprehensive backtesting is recommended to assess the strategy's historical performance characteristics, including profitability, drawdown, and risk-adjusted returns.

Relative Volatility Mass [SciQua]The ⚖️ Relative Volatility Mass (RVM) is a volatility-based tool inspired by the Relative Volatility Index (RVI) .
While the RVI measures the ratio of upward to downward volatility over a period, RVM takes a different approach:
It sums the standard deviation of price changes over a rolling window, separating upward volatility from downward volatility .
The result is a measure of the total “volatility mass” over a user-defined period, rather than an average or normalized ratio.
This makes RVM particularly useful for identifying sustained high-volatility conditions without being diluted by averaging.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
╭────────────╮
How It Works
╰────────────╯
1. Standard Deviation Calculation
• Computes the standard deviation of the chosen `Source` over a `Standard Deviation Length` (`stdDevLen`).
2. Directional Separation
• Volatility on up bars (`chg > 0`) is treated as upward volatility .
• Volatility on down bars (`chg < 0`) is treated as downward volatility .
3. Rolling Sum
• Over a `Sum Length` (`sumLen`), the upward and downward volatilities are summed separately using `math.sum()`.
4. Relative Volatility Mass
• The two sums are added together to get the total volatility mass for the rolling window.
Formula:
RVM = Σ(σ up) + Σ(σ down)
where σ is the standard deviation over `stdDevLen`.
╭────────────╮
Key Features
╰────────────╯
Directional Volatility Tracking – Differentiates between volatility during price advances vs. declines.
Rolling Volatility Mass – Shows the total standard deviation accumulation over a given period.
Optional Smoothing – Multiple MA types, including SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, VWMA.
Bollinger Band Overlay – Available when SMA is selected, with adjustable standard deviation multiplier.
Configurable Source – Apply RVM to `close`, `open`, `hl2`, or any custom source.
╭─────╮
Usage
╰─────╯
Trend Confirmation: High RVM values can confirm strong trending conditions.
Breakout Detection: Spikes in RVM often precede or accompany price breakouts.
Volatility Cycle Analysis: Compare periods of contraction and expansion.
RVM is not bounded like the RVI, so absolute values depend on market volatility and chosen parameters.
Consider normalizing or using smoothing for easier visual comparison.
╭────────────────╮
Example Settings
╰────────────────╯
Short-term volatility detection: `stdDevLen = 5`, `sumLen = 10`
Medium-term trend volatility: `stdDevLen = 14`, `sumLen = 20`
Enable `SMA + Bollinger Bands` to visualize when volatility is unusually high or low relative to recent history.
╭───────────────────╮
Notes & Limitations
╰───────────────────╯
Not a directional signal by itself — use alongside price structure, volume, or other indicators.
Higher `sumLen` will smooth short-term fluctuations but reduce responsiveness.
Because it sums, not averages, values will scale with both volatility and chosen window size.
╭───────╮
Credits

Based on the Relative Volatility Index concept by Donald Dorsey (1993).

ATR+CCI Monetary Risk Tool - TP/SL⚙️ ATR+CCI Monetary Risk Tool — Volatility-aware TP/SL & Position Sizing
Exact prices (no rounding), ATR-percentile dynamic stops, and risk-budget sizing for consistent execution.
🧠 What this indicator is
A risk-first planning tool. It doesn’t generate orders; it gives you clean, objective levels (Entry, SL, TP) and position size derived from your risk budget. It shows only the latest setup to keep charts readable, and a compact on-chart table summarizing the numbers you actually act on.
✨ What makes it different
Dynamic SL by regime (ATR percentile): Instead of a fixed multiple, the SL multiplier adapts to the current volatility percentile (low / medium / high). That helps avoid tight stops in noisy markets and over-wide stops in quiet markets.
Risk budgeting, not guesswork: Size is computed from Account Balance × Max Risk % divided by SL distance × point value. You risk the same dollars across assets/timeframes.
Precision that matches your instrument: Entry, TP, SL, and SL Distance are displayed as exact prices (no rounding), truncated to syminfo.mintick so they align with broker/exchange precision.
Symbol-aware point value: Uses syminfo.pointvalue so you don’t maintain tick tables.
Non-repaint option: Work from closed bars to keep the plan stable.
🔧 How to use (quick start)
Add to chart and pick your timeframe and symbol.
In settings:
Set Account Balance (USD) and Max Risk per Trade (%).
Choose R:R (1:1 … 1:5).
Pick ATR Period and CCI Period (defaults are sensible).
Keep Dynamic ATR ON to adapt SL by regime.
Keep Use closed-bar values ON to avoid repaint when planning.
Read the labels (Entry/TP/SL) and the table (SL Distance, Position Size, Max USD Risk, ATR Percentile, effective SL Mult).
Combine with your entry trigger (price action, levels, momentum, etc.). This indicator handles risk & targets.
📐 How levels are computed
Bias: CCI ≥ 0 ⇒ long, otherwise short.
ATR Percentile: Percent rank of ATR(atrPeriod) over a lookback window.
Effective SL Mult:
If percentile < Low threshold ⇒ use Low SL Mult (tighter).
If between thresholds ⇒ use Base SL Mult.
If percentile > High threshold ⇒ use High SL Mult (wider).
Stop-Loss: SL = Entry ± ATR × SL_Mult (minus for long, plus for short).
Take-Profit: TP = Entry ± (Entry − SL) × R (R from the R:R dropdown).
Position Size:
USD Risk = Balance × Risk%
Contracts = USD Risk ÷ (|Entry − SL| × PointValue)
For futures, quantity is floored to whole contracts.
Exact prices: Entry/TP/SL and SL Distance are not rounded; they’re truncated to mintick so what you see matches valid price increments.
📊 What you’ll see on chart
Latest Entry (blue), TP (green), SL (red) with labels (optional emojis: ➡️ 🎯 🛑).
Info Table with:
Bias, Entry, TP, SL (exact, truncated to mintick)
SL Distance (exact, truncated)
Position Size (contracts/units)
Max USD Risk
Point Value
ATR Percentile and effective SL Mult
🧪 Practical examples
High-volatility session (e.g., XAUUSD, 1H): ATR percentile is high ⇒ wider SL, smaller size. Reduces churn from normal noise during macro events.
Range-bound market (e.g., EURUSD, 4H): ATR percentile low ⇒ tighter SL, better R:R. Helps you avoid carrying unnecessary risk.
Index swing planning (e.g., ES1!, Daily): Non-repaint levels + risk budgeting = consistent sizing across days/weeks, easier to review and journal.
🧭 Why traders should use it
Consistency: Same dollar risk regardless of instrument or volatility regime.
Clarity: One-trade view forces focus; you see the numbers that matter.
Adaptivity: Stops calibrated to the market’s current behavior, not last month’s.
Discipline: A visible checklist (SL distance, size, USD risk) before you hit buy/sell.
🔧 Input guide (practical defaults)
CCI Period: 100 by default; use as a bias filter, not an entry signal.
ATR Period: 14 by default; raise for smoother, lower for more reactive.
ATR Percentile Lookback: 200 by default (stable regime detection).
Percentile thresholds: 33/66 by default; widen the gap to change how often regimes switch.
SL Mults: Start ~1.5 / 2.0 / 2.5 (low/base/high). Tune by asset.
Risk % per trade: Common pro ranges are 0.25–1.0%; adjust to your risk tolerance.
R:R: Start with 1:2 or 1:3 for balanced skew; adapt to strategy edge.
Closed-bar values: Keep ON for planning/live; turn OFF only for exploration.
💡 Best practices
Combine with your entry logic (structure, momentum, liquidity levels).
Review ATR percentile and effective SL Mult across sessions so you understand regime shifts.
For futures, remember size is floored to whole contracts—safer by design.
Journal trades with the table snapshot to improve risk discipline over time.
⚠️ Notes & limitations
This is not a strategy; it does not place orders or alerts.
No slippage/commissions modeled here; build a strategy() version for backtests that mirror your broker/exchange.
Displayed non-price metrics use two decimals; prices and SL Distance are exact (truncated to mintick).

This adaptive trend-following tool uses Average True Range calculations to establish dynamic support and resistance levels that respond to market volatility.
**SMA Confirmation Matrix**: Multiple Simple Moving Averages (SMA 4, 5, 9, 13) provide layered confirmation for signal strength. The algorithm distinguishes between regular signals and "Strong" signals based on SMA 4 vs SMA 5 relationship, offering traders different conviction levels for position sizing.
**Trend Ribbon Visualization**: SMA 21 and SMA 34 create a visual trend ribbon that changes color based on their relationship. Green ribbon indicates bullish momentum while red signals bearish conditions, providing immediate visual trend context.
**RSI-Based Candle Coloring**: Advanced 61-tier RSI system colors candles with gradient precision from deep red (RSI ≤20) through purple transitions to bright green (RSI ≥79). This visual enhancement helps traders instantly assess momentum strength and overbought/oversold conditions.
Signal Generation Logic
**Buy Signal Criteria**:
- Price crosses above Supertrend line
- Close price must be above SMA 9 (trend confirmation)
- Signal strength determined by SMA 4 vs SMA 5 relationship
- "Strong Buy" when SMA 4 ≥ SMA 5
- Regular "Buy" when SMA 4 < SMA 5
**Sell Signal Criteria**:
- Price crosses below Supertrend line
- Close price must be below SMA 9 (trend confirmation)
- Signal strength based on SMA relationship
- "Strong Sell" when SMA 4 ≤ SMA 5
- Regular "Sell" when SMA 4 > SMA 5
Advanced Risk Management System
**Automated TP/SL Calculation**: The indicator automatically calculates stop loss and take profit levels using ATR-based measurements. Risk percentage and ATR length are fully customizable, allowing traders to adapt to different market conditions and personal risk tolerance.
**Multiple Take Profit Targets**:
- 1:1 Risk-Reward ratio for conservative profit taking
- 2:1 Risk-Reward for balanced trade management
- 3:1 Risk-Reward for maximum profit potential
**Visual Risk Display**: All risk management levels appear as both labels and optional trend lines on the chart. Customizable line styles (solid, dashed, dotted) and positioning ensure clear visualization without chart clutter.
**Dynamic Level Updates**: Risk levels automatically recalculate with each new signal, maintaining current market relevance throughout position lifecycles.
Visual Enhancement Features
**Customizable Display Options**: Toggle trend ribbon, TP/SL levels, and risk lines independently. Decimal precision adjustments (1-8 decimal places) accommodate different instrument price formats and personal preferences.
**Professional Label System**: Clean, informative labels show entry points, stop losses, and take profit targets with precise price levels. Labels automatically position themselves for optimal chart readability.
**Color-Coded Momentum**: The gradient RSI candle coloring system provides instant visual feedback on momentum strength, helping traders assess market energy and potential reversal zones.

Fibonacci-Based Volume Flow (VFI)Fibonacci-based Volume Flow is an advanced next-generation evolution of LazyBear’s original VFI script that calculates and averages up to 21 Fibonacci-based VFI pairings to create a smoothed composite volume flow signal. This unique and powerful approach reduces noise, adapts to volatility, and provides a clearer view of trend strength and market structure across all timeframes. It also includes dynamic fibonacci guide levels, adaptive lookbacks, EMA crossovers, and structure-aware pivot labeling to help traders identify high-quality reversals, confirm directional bias, and detect divergences with greater precision. It's ideal for traders looking to enhance momentum analysis through volume-based confirmation.
🧠 Key Features🧠
🔹 Multi-VFI Fibonacci Fusion🔹
Blends up to 21 VFI signals (5, 13, 21, 34… up to 610) into smartly paired averages (e.g., 13/34, 55/144) — forming a smoothed composite VFI that’s more adaptive, less noisy, and highly responsive across market conditions.
🔸🔸 Dynamic Lookbacks🔸 🔸
Automatically adjusts histogram high/low tracking based on your chart’s timeframe — no more static tuning. Perfect for scalping fast charts or confirming long-term trends.
🟥🟩 Color-Coded Histogram🟥🟩
Visualizes VFI momentum with gradient coloring.
🧩🧩 Signal Crossovers 🧩🧩
Color-coded crossover lines persistently show bullish or bearish dominance.
Includes three powerful crossover systems:
➖5/13 VFI: Fast, early reversal detection
➖8/21 VFI: Swing-trading sweet spot
➖55/144 VFI: Trend confirmation across long cycles
🏷️ 🏷️Pivot Structure Labels🏷️🏷️
Labels oscillator swings with full structural logic:
➖HH, HL, LH, LL, EQ
➖Displays percent change, price at pivot, oscillator reading
➖Smart coloring detects divergence & trend continuation
📈 📈Dynamic Histogram Guides📈📈
Optional zero and ±50% bands anchor histogram levels based on real histogram extremes, not static thresholds — visually frame momentum shifts with context.
📍 📍Persistent High/Low Pivot Lines📍📍
Track the most significant histogram pivots (not price) across time, with smart labels:
➖Volume flow structure zones
➖Label shows price at pivot, oscillator level, and bars since event
➖Ideal for spotting divergence zones, momentum failures, and trend exhaustion.
🔍 🔍Volatility Table (ATR%)🔍🔍
💡Shows real-time volatility compression or expansion
💡Uses multiple ATR periods (e.g., 14 & 55) for short- and medium-term comparison
💡Helps traders understand whether momentum is likely to continue or stall
🔩🔩Volume-weighted VFI baselines🔩🔩
🟢A daily session-based VWAP of the VFI, which resets each day and highlights intraday volume flow context.
🟠A rolling VWA of VFI, which acts like a VWMA over a fixed window (e.g., 55 bars), smoothing short-term fluctuations and supporting trend/momentum confirmation.
These VWAP-style overlays help traders identify strength vs. weakness relative to volume-weighted baselines — useful for divergence spotting, mean reversion setups, or breakout confirmation.
🧰 🧰Under the Hood: How It Works🧰🧰
🔧 Core VFI Logic
Based on LazyBear’s foundational VFI:
➖Uses log returns of price (HLC3)
➖Filters insignificant moves using volatility-weighted thresholds
➖Normalizes volume via adaptive capping (e.g., 2.5× average)
🌀 Composite Blend System
Each VFI instance is smoothed and then fused via user-selectable pairs. This creates a customizable average VFI representing short, mid, and long-term pressure — one value, many time horizons.
📊 EMA Signal Layer
Crosses trigger persistent color shifts in signal lines, making trend strength clear at a glance.
VFI blend feeds into EMA crossovers. You can toggle visibility for:
➖Fast (5/13)
➖Medium (8/21)
➖Slow (55/144)
🧭 Pivot Framework
Structure logic only compares pivots on same-side polarity:
➖Highs compare to highs above zero
➖Lows compare to lows below zero
This avoids nonsensical comparisons and preserves logical sequences (HH → LH → HL).
🧱 Dynamic Labels
All pivots and persistent levels display:
➖Oscillator value
➖Price value
➖Structure tag (e.g., LH, HL)
➖% change from prior pivot
➖Lookback info
➖Bar age
Unlike traditional VFI:
✅ It blends timeframes with Fibonacci precision
✅ Uses dynamic, volatility-aware logic
✅ Embeds visual structure & divergence intelligence
✅ Enhances entry confidence and exit timing
🔧 This isn’t just an indicator — it’s a volume-informed decision engine.
Ideal For:
🔶Trend-followers wanting cleaner volume-based confirmation
🔶Reversal traders spotting structure + divergence
🔶Scalpers or investors needing adaptable signals
🔶Those who loved LazyBear's VFI
📌 Final Note:
As powerful as Fibonacci Blended Volume Flow is, no single indicator should be used in isolation. For best results, combine it with price action analysis, higher-timeframe context, and complementary tools like trendlines, moving averages, or support/resistance levels. Use it as part of a well-rounded trading approach to confirm setups — not to define them alone.
Trend Strength Index [Alpha Extract]The Trend Strength Index leverages Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) and Average True Range (ATR) to quantify trend intensity in cryptocurrency markets, particularly Bitcoin. The combination of VWMA and ATR is particularly powerful because VWMA provides a more accurate representation of the market's true average price by weighting periods of higher trading volume more heavily—capturing genuine momentum driven by increased participation rather than treating all price action equally, which is crucial in volatile assets like Bitcoin where volume spikes often signal institutional interest or market shifts.
Meanwhile, ATR normalizes this measurement for volatility, ensuring that trend strength readings remain comparable across different market conditions; without ATR's adjustment, raw price deviations from the mean could appear artificially inflated during high-volatility periods (like during news events or liquidations) or understated in low-volatility sideways markets, leading to misleading signals. Together, they create a volatility-adjusted, volume-sensitive metric that reliably distinguishes between meaningful trend developments and noise.
This indicator measures the normalized distance between price and its volume-weighted mean, providing a clear visualization of trend strength while accounting for market volatility. It helps traders identify periods of strong directional movement versus consolidation, with color-coded gradients for intuitive interpretation.
🔶 CALCULATION
The indicator processes price data through these analytical stages:
Volume Weighted Moving Average: Computes a smoothed average weighted by trading volume
Volatility Normalization: Uses ATR to account for market volatility
Distance Measurement: Calculates absolute deviation between current price and VWMA
Strength Normalization: Divides price deviation by ATR for a volatility-adjusted metric
Formula:
VWMA = Volume-Weighted Moving Average of Close over specified length
ATR = Average True Range over specified length
Price Distance = |Close - VWMA|
Trend Strength = Price Distance / ATR
🔶 DETAILS Visual Features:
VWMA Line: Blue line overlay on the price chart representing the volume-weighted mean
Trend Strength Area: Histogram-style area plot with dynamic color gradient (red for weak trends, transitioning through orange and yellow to green for strong trends)
Threshold Line: Horizontal red line at the customizable Trend Enter level
Background Highlight: Subtle green background when trend strength exceeds the enter threshold for strong trend visualization
Alert System: Triggers notifications for strong trend detection
Interpretation:
0-Weak (Red): Minimal trend strength, potential consolidation or ranging market
Mid-Range (Orange/Yellow): Building momentum, watch for breakout potential
At/Above Enter Threshold (Green): Strong trend conditions, potential for continued directional moves
Threshold Crossing: Trend strength crossing above the enter level signals increasing conviction in the current direction
Color Transitions: Gradual shifts from warm (red/orange) to cool (green) tones indicate strengthening trends
🔶 EXAMPLES
Strong Trend Entry: When trend strength crosses above the enter threshold (e.g., 1.2), it identifies the onset of a powerful move where price deviates significantly from the mean.
Example: During a rally, trend strength rising from yellow (around 1.0) to green (1.2+) often precedes sustained upward momentum, providing entry opportunities for trend followers.
Consolidation Detection: Low trend strength values in red shades (below 0.5) highlight periods of low volatility and mean reversion potential.
Example: After a sharp sell-off, persistent red values signal a likely sideways phase, allowing traders to avoid whipsaws and wait for orange/yellow transitions as a precursor to recovery.
Volatility-Adjusted Pullbacks: In volatile markets, the ATR component ensures trend strength remains accurate; a dip back to yellow from green during minor corrections can indicate healthy pullbacks within a strong trend.
Example: Trend strength briefly falling to yellow levels (e.g., 0.8-1.1) after hitting green provides profit-taking signals without invalidating the overall bullish bias if the VWMA holds as support.
Threshold Alert Integration: The alert condition combines strength value with the enter threshold for timely notifications.
Example: Receiving a "Strong Trend Detected" alert when the area plot turns green helps confirm Bitcoin's breakout from consolidation, aligning with increased volume for higher-probability trades.
🔶 SETTINGS
Customization Options:
Lengths: VWMA length (default 14), ATR length (default 14)
Thresholds: Trend enter (default 1.2, step 0.1), trend exit (default 1.15, for potential future signal enhancements)
Visuals: Automatic color scaling with red at 0, transitioning to green at/above enter threshold
Alert Conditions: Strong trend detection (when strength > enter)
The Trend Strength Index equips traders with a robust, easy-to-interpret tool for gauging trend intensity in volatile markets like Bitcoin. By normalizing price deviations against volatility, it delivers reliable signals for identifying high-momentum opportunities while the gradient coloring and alerts facilitate quick assessments in both trending and choppy conditions.
