Triangular Hull Moving Average [BigBeluga X PineIndicators]This strategy is based on the original Triangular Hull Moving Average (THMA) + Volatility indicator by BigBeluga. Full credit for the concept and design goes to BigBeluga.
The strategy blends smoothed trend-following logic using a Triangular Hull Moving Average with dynamic volatility overlays, providing actionable trade signals with responsive visual feedback. It's designed for traders who want a non-lagging trend filter while also monitoring market volatility in real time.
How the Strategy Works
1. Triangular Hull Moving Average (THMA) Core
At its core, the strategy uses a Triangular Hull Moving Average (THMA) — a variation of the traditional Hull Moving Average with triple-smoothing logic:
It combines multiple weighted moving averages (WMAs) to create a faster and smoother trend line.
This reduces lag without compromising trend accuracy.
The THMA reacts more responsively to price movements than classic MAs.
THMA Formula:
thma(_src, _length) =>
ta.wma(ta.wma(_src,_length / 3) * 3 - ta.wma(_src, _length / 2) - ta.wma(_src, _length), _length)
This logic filters out short-term noise while still being sensitive to genuine trend shifts.
2. Volatility-Enhanced Candle Plotting
An optional volatility mode overlays the chart with custom candles that incorporate volatility bands:
Wicks expand and contract dynamically based on market volatility.
The volatility value is computed using a HMA of high-low range over a user-defined length.
The candle bodies reflect THMA values, while the wicks reflect the current volatility spread.
This feature allows traders to visually gauge the strength of price moves and anticipate possible breakouts or slowdowns.
3. Trend Reversal Signal Detection
The strategy identifies trend reversals when the THMA line crosses over/under its own past value:
A bullish signal is triggered when THMA crosses above its value from two bars ago.
A bearish signal is triggered when THMA crosses below its value from two bars ago.
These shifts are marked on the chart with triangle-shaped signals for clear visibility.
This logic helps detect momentum shifts early and enables reactive trade entries.
Trade Entry & Exit Logic
Trade Modes Supported
Users can choose between:
Only Long – Enters long trades only.
Only Short – Enters short trades only.
Long & Short – Enables both directions.
Entry Conditions
Long Entry:
Triggered when a bullish crossover is detected.
Active only if the strategy mode allows long trades.
Short Entry:
Triggered when a bearish crossover is detected.
Active only if the strategy mode allows short trades.
Exit Conditions
In Only Long mode, the strategy closes long positions when a bearish signal appears.
In Only Short mode, the strategy closes short positions when a bullish signal appears.
In Long & Short mode, the strategy does not auto-close positions — instead, it opens new positions on each confirmed signal.
Dashboard Visualization
In the bottom-right corner of the chart, a live dashboard displays:
The current trend direction (🢁 for bullish, 🢃 for bearish).
The current volatility level as a percentage.
This helps traders quickly assess market status and adjust their decisions accordingly.
Customization Options
THMA Length: Adjust how smooth or reactive the trend detection should be.
Volatility Toggle & Length: Enable or disable volatility visualization and set sensitivity.
Color Settings: Choose colors for up/down trend visualization.
Trade Direction Mode: Limit the strategy to long, short, or both types of trades.
Use Cases & Strategy Strengths
1. Trend Following
Use the THMA-based candles and triangle signals to enter with momentum. The indicator adapts quickly, reducing lag and improving trade timing.
2. Volatility Monitoring
Visualize the strength of the trend with volatility wicks. Use expanding bands to confirm breakouts and contracting ones to detect weakening moves.
3. Signal Confirmation
Combine this tool with other indicators or use the trend shift triangles as confirmations for manual entries.
Conclusion
The THMA + Volatility Strategy is a non-repainting trend-following system that integrates:
Triangular Hull MA for advanced trend detection.
Real-time volatility visualization.
Clear entry signals based on trend reversals.
Configurable trade direction settings.
It is ideal for traders who:
Prefer smoothed price analysis.
Want to follow trends with precision.

Market Trend Levels Non-Repainting [BigBeluga X PineIndicators]This strategy is based on the Market Trend Levels Detector developed by BigBeluga. Full credit for the concept and original indicator goes to BigBeluga.
The Market Trend Levels Detector Strategy is a non-repainting trend-following strategy that identifies market trend shifts using two Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). It also detects key price levels and allows traders to apply multiple filters to refine trade entries and exits.
This strategy is designed for trend trading and enables traders to:
Identify trend direction based on EMA crossovers.
Detect significant market levels using labeled trend lines.
Use multiple filter conditions to improve trade accuracy.
Avoid false signals through non-repainting calculations.
How the Market Trend Levels Detector Strategy Works
1. Core Trend Detection Using EMA Crossovers
The strategy detects trend shifts using two EMAs:
Fast EMA (default: 12 periods) – Reacts quickly to price movements.
Slow EMA (default: 25 periods) – Provides a smoother trend confirmation.
A bullish crossover (Fast EMA crosses above Slow EMA) signals an uptrend , while a bearish crossover (Fast EMA crosses below Slow EMA) signals a downtrend .
2. Market Level Detection & Visualization
Each time an EMA crossover occurs, a trend level line is drawn:
Bullish crossover → A green line is drawn at the low of the crossover candle.
Bearish crossover → A purple line is drawn at the high of the crossover candle.
Lines can be extended to act as support and resistance zones for future price action.
Additionally, a small label (●) appears at each crossover to mark the event on the chart.
3. Trade Entry & Exit Conditions
The strategy allows users to choose between three trading modes:
Long Only – Only enters long trades.
Short Only – Only enters short trades.
Long & Short – Trades in both directions.
Entry Conditions
Long Entry:
A bullish EMA crossover occurs.
The trade direction setting allows long trades.
Filter conditions (if enabled) confirm a valid long signal.
Short Entry:
A bearish EMA crossover occurs.
The trade direction setting allows short trades.
Filter conditions (if enabled) confirm a valid short signal.
Exit Conditions
Long Exit:
A bearish EMA crossover occurs.
Exit filters (if enabled) indicate an invalid long position.
Short Exit:
A bullish EMA crossover occurs.
Exit filters (if enabled) indicate an invalid short position.
Additional Trade Filters
To improve trade accuracy, the strategy allows traders to apply up to 7 additional filters:
RSI Filter: Only trades when RSI confirms a valid trend.
MACD Filter: Ensures MACD histogram supports the trade direction.
Stochastic Filter: Requires %K line to be above/below threshold values.
Bollinger Bands Filter: Confirms price position relative to the middle BB line.
ADX Filter: Ensures the trend strength is above a set threshold.
CCI Filter: Requires CCI to indicate momentum in the right direction.
Williams %R Filter: Ensures price momentum supports the trade.
Filters can be enabled or disabled individually based on trader preference.
Dynamic Level Extension Feature
The strategy provides an optional feature to extend trend lines until price interacts with them again:
Bullish support lines extend until price revisits them.
Bearish resistance lines extend until price revisits them.
If price breaks a line, the line turns into a dotted style , indicating it has been breached.
This helps traders identify key levels where trend shifts previously occurred, providing useful support and resistance insights.
Customization Options
The strategy includes several adjustable settings :
Trade Direction: Choose between Long Only, Short Only, or Long & Short.
Trend Lengths: Adjust the Fast & Slow EMA lengths.
Market Level Extension: Decide whether to extend support/resistance lines.
Filters for Trade Confirmation: Enable/disable individual filters.
Color Settings: Customize line colors for bullish and bearish trend shifts.
Maximum Displayed Lines: Limit the number of drawn support/resistance lines.
Considerations & Limitations
Trend Lag: As with any EMA-based strategy, signals may be slightly delayed compared to price action.
Sideways Markets: This strategy works best in trending conditions; frequent crossovers in sideways markets can produce false signals.
Filter Usage: Enabling multiple filters may reduce trade frequency, but can also improve trade quality.
Line Overlap: If many crossovers occur in a short period, the chart may become cluttered with multiple trend levels. Adjusting the "Display Last" setting can help.
Conclusion
The Market Trend Levels Detector Strategy is a non-repainting trend-following system that combines EMA crossovers, market level detection, and customizable filters to improve trade accuracy.
By identifying trend shifts and key price levels, this strategy can be used for:
Trend Confirmation – Using EMA crossovers and filters to confirm trend direction.
Support & Resistance Trading – Identifying dynamic levels where price reacts.
Momentum-Based Trading – Combining EMA crossovers with additional momentum filters.
This strategy is fully customizable and can be adapted to different trading styles, timeframes, and market conditions.
