Greedy DCA█ OVERVIEW
Detect price crashes in volatile conditions. This is an indicator for a greedy dollar cost average (DCA) strategy. That is, for people who want to repeatedly buy an asset over time when its price is crashing.
█ CONCEPTS
Price crashes are indicated if the price falls below one or more of the 4 lower Bollinger Bands which are calculated with increasing multipliers for the standard deviation.
In these conditions, the price is far below the average. Therefore they are considered good buying opportunities.
No buy signals are emitted if the Bollinger Bands are tight, i.e. if the bandwidth (upper -lower band) is below the value of the moving average multiplied with a threshold factor. This ensures that signals are only emitted if the conditions are highly volatile.
The Bollinger Bands are calculated based on the daily candles, irrespective the chart time frame. This allows to check the strategy on lower time frames
Bollinger Bands (BB)
Floor and Roof IndicatorThe Floor and Roof indicator is a tool developed to help traders identify potential areas of support and resistance both for trend following and for mean reversal trading decisions.
The indicator plots the "Roof" which is the main level of resistance, and the "Floor" which is the main level of support. These lines are calculated on the "Lenght" parameter and smoothed by the "Smooth" parameter, and they use both the volatility and the main market structure as calculation methods.
Additionally, this indicator plots an area that can be modified by the "Zone width" parameter and two other lines, called "Second floor" and "Second roof" respectively, which are plotted only whenever they are significant to the price current level.
This indicator can be used in several ways:
- In a clear trend, you could wait for a break of the second floor or roof as an indication of a change in the market direction
- As the price goes out of the reversal zones, this can be an indication of a reversal
- In a clear trend, you can wait for the price to bounce on the second floor or roof lines to enter a trade
GKD-C Dollar Pile [Loxx]The Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Dollar Pile is a confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System."
█ GKD-C Dollar Pile
Dollar Pile applies a custom strategy using Bollinger Bands, calculated from an asset's closing price. Based on the closing price's position relative to the bands, trading signals are produced. The bands can be further adjusted based on these signals. The outcome is visualized as a histogram, colored either green or red, representing the trading signal's direction.

Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
8. Metamorphosis - a technical indicator that produces a compound signal from the combination of other GKD indicators*
*(not part of the NNFX algorithm)
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, the Average Directional Index (ADX), and the Chandelier Exit.
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
What is an Metamorphosis indicator?
The concept of a metamorphosis indicator involves the integration of two or more GKD indicators to generate a compound signal. This is achieved by evaluating the accuracy of each indicator and selecting the signal from the indicator with the highest accuracy. As an illustration, let's consider a scenario where we calculate the accuracy of 10 indicators and choose the signal from the indicator that demonstrates the highest accuracy.
The resulting output from the metamorphosis indicator can then be utilized in a GKD-BT backtest by occupying a slot that aligns with the purpose of the metamorphosis indicator. The slot can be a GKD-B, GKD-C, or GKD-E slot, depending on the specific requirements and objectives of the indicator. This allows for seamless integration and utilization of the compound signal within the GKD-BT framework.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v2.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
6. GKD-M - Metamorphosis module (Metamorphosis, Number 8 in the NNFX algorithm, but not part of the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data to A backtest module wherein the various components of the GKD system are combined to create a trading signal.
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Multi-Ticker CC Backtest
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Dollar Pile as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: uf2018
Continuation: Coppock Curve
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Metamorphosis: Baseline Optimizer
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, GKD-M, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD system.

DBMA - Dual Bollinger Moving AverageThe Dual Bollinger moving average (DBMA) consists of a moving average (MA) & two Bollinger Bands (BB), with the color of the bands representing the level of price compression. In its default settings, it is a 20-day simple moving average with 2 upper Bollinger Bands, having the standard deviation (SD) settings of 0.5 & 1, respectively.
How close the price is to the moving average?
For a pullback trader, the entry point should be close to the moving average, preferably with price compression. How close should it be, is where the bands serve as a guide. The low of the pullback candle should be within the bands, that is, at least within the far band (1 SD of the MA), or even better if it's within the near band (0.5 SD). When the price is outside the bands, it should not be considered favourable for a pullback entry.
For how long has the price been closer to the moving average?
John Carter’s TTM Squeeze indicator looked at the relationship between Bollinger Bands and Keltner's Channels to help identify period of volatility contractions. Bollinger Bands being completely enclosed within the Keltner Channels is indicative of a very low volatility. This is a state of volatility contraction known as squeeze. Using different ATR lengths (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0) for Keltner Channels, we can differentiate between levels of squeeze (High, Mid & Low compression, respectively). Greater the compression, higher the potential for explosive moves.
The squeeze portion of the script is based on LazyBear's script ( Squeeze Momentum Indicator )
The High, Mid & Low compression squeezes are depicted via the color of the bands being red, orange, or yellow, respectively. With the low of the pullback candle within the bands, & the squeeze color changing to red, it should be considered favourable for a pullback entry.
Trailing the price with the lower bands
The lower bands can be used for trailing with the moving average. While trailing, once the price closes below the moving average, the trailing stoploss (TSL) is said to be triggered, & the trade is exited. Here we use the bands to give it some cushion. Let the price close below the 1SD band for labelling the TSL as being triggered to exit the trade. If the price closes below the MA but is still within the bands, the signal is to keep holding the trade.
Extreme Reversal SignalThe Extreme Reversal Signal is designed to signal potential pivot points when the price of an asset becomes extremely overbought or oversold. Extreme conditions typically signal a brief or extensive price reversal, offering valuable entry or exit points. It's important to note that this indicator may produce multiple signals, making it essential to corroborate these signals with other forms of analysis to determine their validity. While the default settings provide valuable insights, it might be beneficial to experiment with different configurations to ensure the indicator's efficacy.
Two primary conditions define extremely overbought and oversold states. The first condition is that the price must deviate by two standard deviations from the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). The second condition is that the 3-day SMA of the 14-day Stochastic Oscillator (STO) derived from the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is above or below the upper or lower limit.
Oversold states arise when the first condition is met and the 3-day SMA of the 14-day Stochastic RSI falls below the lower limit, suggesting a buy signal. These are visually represented by green triangles below the price bars. Overbought states arise when the first condition is met and the 3-day SMA of the 14-day Stochastic RSI rises above the upper limit, suggesting a sell signal. These are visually represented by red triangles above the price bars. It's also possible to set up automated alerts to get notifications when either of these two conditions is met to avoid missing out.
While this indicator has traditionally identified overbought and oversold conditions in various different assets, past performance does not guarantee future results. Therefore, it is advisable to supplement this indicator with other technical tools. For instance, trend indicators can greatly improve the decision-making process when planning for entries and exit points.
PercentX Trend Follower [Trendoscope]"Trendoscope" was born from our trading journey, where we first delved into the world of trend-following methods. Over time, we discovered the captivating allure of pattern analysis and the exciting challenges it presented, drawing us into exploring new horizons. However, our dedication to trend-following methodologies remains steadfast and continues to be an integral part of our core philosophy.
Here we are, introducing another effective trend-following methodology, employing straightforward yet powerful techniques.
🎲 Concepts
Introducing the innovative PercentX Oscillator , a representation of Bollinger PercentB and Keltner Percent K. This powerful tool offers users the flexibility to customize their PercentK oscillator, including options for the type of moving average and length.
The Oscillator Range is derived dynamically, utilizing two lengths - inner and outer. The inner length initiates the calculation of the oscillator's highest and lowest range, while the outer length is used for further calculations, involving either a moving average or the opposite side of the highest/lowest range, to obtain the oscillator ranges.
Next, the Oscillator Boundaries are derived by applying another round of high/low or moving average calculations on the oscillator range values.
Breakouts occur when the close price crosses above the upper boundary or below the lower boundary, signaling potential trading opportunities.
🎲 How to trade a breakout?
To reduce false signals, we employ a simple yet effective approach. Instead of executing market trades, we use stop orders on both sides at a certain distance from the current close price.
In case of an upper side breakout, a long stop order is placed at 1XATR above the close, and a short stop order is placed at 2XATR below the close. Conversely, for a lower side breakout, a short stop order is placed at 1XATR below the close, and a long stop order is placed at 2XATR above the ATR. As a trend following method, our first inclination is to trade on the side of breakout and not to find the reversals. Hence, higher multiplier is used for the direction opposite to the breakout.
The script provides users with the option to specify ATR multipliers for both sides.
Once a trade is initiated, the opposite side of the trade is converted into a stop-loss order. In the event of a breakout, the script will either place new long and short stop orders (if no existing trade is present) or update the stop-loss orders if a trade is currently running.
As a trend-following strategy, this script does not rely on specific targets or target levels. The objective is to run the trade as long as possible to generate profits. The trade is only stopped when the stop-loss is triggered, which is updated with every breakout to secure potential gains and minimize risks.
🎲 Default trade parameters
Script uses 10% equity per trade and up to 4 pyramid orders. Hence, the maximum invested amount at a time is 40% of the equity. Due to this, the comparison between buy and hold does not show a clear picture for the trade.
Feel free to explore and optimize the parameters further for your favorite symbols.
🎲 Visual representation
The blue line represents the PercentX Oscillator, orange and lime colored lines represent oscillator ranges. And red/green lines represent oscillator boundaries. Oscillator spikes upon breakout are highlighted with color fills.

4. When the close is greater than the pivot point of the sma pivot high, and the close is greater than the resistance step line, a long position is opened.
*At times, the 2% take profit may not trigger IF; the conditions for reentry are met at the time of candle closure + no exit conditions have been triggered.
5. If the position is in the green and the support step line crosses over the resistance step line, positions are exited.
How to use it and what makes it unique:
Use this strategy to trade an up-trending market using a simple moving average to determine the trend. This strategy is meant to capture a good risk/reward in a bullish market while staying active in an appropriate fashion. This strategy is unique due to it's inclusion of the step line function with statistics derived from myself.

Reversion Zone IndexThe Reversion Zone Index (RZI) is an indicator that combines the Commodity Channel Index (CCI), Choppiness Index (CI), and Bollinger Bands Percentage (BBPct) to identify mean reversion signals in the market. It is plotted as an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) smoothed oscillator with overbought and oversold zones, and mean reversion signals are represented by red and green arrows.
The three indicators are combined to benefit from their complementary aspects and create a more comprehensive view of mean reversion conditions. Here's a brief overview of each indicator's benefits:
1. Commodity Channel Index (CCI): CCI measures the current price level relative to its average over a specified period. It helps identify overbought and oversold conditions, as well as potential trend retracements. By incorporating CCI, the RZI gains insights into momentum and potential turning points.
2. Choppiness Index (CI): CI quantifies the market's choppiness or trendiness by analyzing the range between the highest high and lowest low over a specific period. It indicates whether the market is in a trending or ranging phase. CI provides valuable information about the market state, which can be useful in mean reversion analysis.
3. Bollinger Bands Percentage (BBPct): BBPct measures the current price's position relative to the Bollinger Bands. It calculates the percentage difference between the current price and the bands, identifying potential overbought or oversold conditions. BBPct helps gauge the market's deviation from its typical behavior and highlights potential reversal opportunities.
The RZI combines the three indicators by taking an average of their values and applying further calculations. It smooths the combined oscillator using an EMA to reduce noise and enhance the visibility of the trends. Smoothing with EMA provides a more responsive representation of the overall trend and helps filter out short-term fluctuations.
The overbought and oversold zones are marked on the chart as reference levels. When the combined oscillator is above the overbought zone or below the oversold zone, it suggests a potential mean reversion signal. Red and green arrows are displayed to visually indicate these mean retracement signals.
The RZI is a valuable tool for identifying mean reversion opportunities in the market. It incorporates multiple indicators, each providing unique insights into different aspects of mean reversion, such as momentum, volatility, and price positioning. Traders can use this indicator to spot potential turning points and time their trades accordingly.
Volatility Capture RSI-Bollinger - Strategy [presentTrading]- Introduction and how it is different
The 'Volatility Capture RSI-Bollinger - Strategy ' is a trading strategy that combines the concepts of Bollinger Bands (BB), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Simple Moving Average (SMA) to generate trading signals. The uniqueness of this strategy is it calculates which is a dynamic level between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands based on the closing price. This unique feature allows the strategy to adapt to market volatility and price movements.
The market in Crypto and Stock are highly volatile, making them suitable for a strategy that uses Bollinger Bands. The RSI can help identify overbought or oversold conditions in this often speculative market.

Remember, the effectiveness of a trading strategy also depends on other factors such as the timeframe used, the specific settings of the indicators, and the overall market conditions. It's always recommended to backtest and paper trade a strategy before using it in live trading.
- Strategy, How it Works
Dynamic Bollinger Band: The strategy works by first calculating the upper and lower Bollinger Bands based on the user-defined length and multiplier. It then uses the Bollinger Bands and the closing price to dynamically adjust the presentBollingBand value. In the end, it generates a long signal when the price crosses over the present Bolling Band and a short signal when the price crosses under the present Bolling Band.
RSI: If the user has chosen to use RSI for signals, the strategy also calculates the RSI and its SMA, and uses these to generate additional long and short signals. The RSI-based signals are only used if the 'Use RSI for signals' option is set to true.
The strategy then checks the chosen trading direction and enters a long or short position accordingly. If the trading direction is set to 'Both', the strategy can enter both long and short positions.
Finally, the strategy exits a position when the close price crosses under the present Bolling Band for a long position, or crosses over the present Bolling Band for a short position.
- Trade direction
The strategy also includes a trade direction parameter, allowing the user to choose whether to enter long trades, short trades, or both. This makes the strategy adaptable to different market conditions and trading styles.
- Usage
1. Set the input parameters as per your trading preferences. You can choose the price source, the length of the moving average, the multiplier for the ATR, whether to use RSI for signals, the RSI and SMA periods, the bought and sold range levels, and the trading direction.
2. The strategy will then generate buy and sell signals based on these parameters. You can use these signals to enter and exit trades.
- Default settings
1. Source: hlc3
2. Length: 50
3. Multiplier: 2.7183
4. Use RSI for signals: True
5. RSI Period: 10
6. SMA Period: 5
7. Bought Range Level: 55
8. Sold Range Level: 50
9. Trade Direction: Both
- Strategy's default Properties
1. Default Quantity Type: 'strategy.percent_of_equity'
2. commission_value= 0.1, commission_type=strategy.commission.percent, slippage= 1: These parameters set the commission and slippage for the strategy. The commission is set to 0.1% of the trade value, and the slippage (the difference between the expected price of a trade and the price at which the trade is executed) is set to 1.
3. default_qty_type = strategy.percent_of_equity, default_qty_value = 15: These parameters set the default quantity for trades. The default_qty_type is set to strategy.percent_of_equity, which means that the size of each trade will be a percentage of the account equity. The default_qty_value is set to 15, which means that each trade will be 15% of the account equity.
4. initial_capital= 10000: This parameter sets the initial capital for the strategy to $10,000.
Bollinger Bands Modified (Stormer)This strategy is based and shown by trader and investor Alexandre Wolwacz "Stormer".
Overview
The strategy uses two indicators Bollinger Bands and EMA (optional for EMA).
Calculates Bollinger Bands, EMA, highest high, and lowest low values based on the input parameters, evaluating the conditions to determine potential long and short entry signals.
The conditions include checks for crossovers and crossunders of the price with the upper and lower Bollinger Bands, as well as the position of the price relative to the EMA.
The script also incorporates the option to add an inside bar pattern check for additional information.
Entry Position
Long Position:
Price cross over the superior band of bollinger bands.
The EMA is used to add support for trend analysis, it is an optional input, when used, it checks if price is above EMA.
Short Position:
Price cross under the inferior band of bollinger bands.
The EMA is used to add support for trend analysis, it is an optional input, when used, it checks if price is under EMA.
Risk Management
Stop Loss:
The stop loss is calculated based on the input highest high (for short position) and lowest low (for long position).
It gets the length based on the input from the last candles to set which is the highest high and which is the lowest low.
Take Profit:
According to the author, the profit target should be at least 1:1.6 the risk, so to have the strategy mathematically positive.
The profit target is configured input, can be increased or decreased.
It calculates the take profit based on the price of the stop loss with the profit target input.
[UPRIGHT Trading] Academy of Forex - Scalp Strategy█ OVERVIEW
This is a collaboration of efforts of The Academy of Forex and UPRIGHT Trading .
The Academy of Forex - Scalp Strategy Indicator is a clean & reimagined lower indicator. To enable optimization & potential automation, we re-coded & optimized it at UPRIGHT Trading.
It is based on the one presented on its YT channel.
The idea is for it to be an easy to use - simple indicator - that works not just for confirmation, but also entering and exiting quickly (scalping).
█ CONCEPTS
The idea is that %B (derived from BBs) is able to pick up some pretty significant moves. With that as one of the bases the Inverse Fisher Transform (Ribbon) acts to show some of the movement of the asset highlighting when it at extremes. The RSI highlights are there as another confirmation to help normalize the sometimes too frequent movement of %B.
As expected the indicator often acts as a reversal indicator, but with the optimizations of logic it's able to pick up more than just the reversals and works as a pretty decent Buy/Sell Algorithm.
█ CALCULATIONS
Calculations used included, but not limited to:
- %B - Quantifies the price as a percentage to the Upper and Lower Band of the Popular Bollinger Bands, which were named after their inventor John Bollinger in 1980.
- Inverse Fisher Transform RSI - is a variation of the IFT, created by John Ehlers, the idea is for the IFT to convert Gaussian normal distribution and to take it a step further the RSI version is to just use overbought and oversold placements. This indicator is meant to highlight when price has moved to an extreme and in this process helps to spot turning points.
- Relative Strength Index (RSI) - As most of you know already the RSI is a technical analysis tool invented by J. Welles Wilder, that oscillates and is used to measure the momentum of price changes. It normalizes to index 0-100 with overbought and oversold defined by the user, but often around 70 as overbought and 30 as oversold.
- Pivot/Swing Points - Implemented to show recent Higher-Highs or Lower-Lows, Pivot points are included in the indicator for structure tracking.
- Moving Averages - Moving averages help to get an idea of when price is moving near the norm or outside to extremes.

Multi Kernel Regression [ChartPrime]The "Multi Kernel Regression" is a versatile trading indicator that provides graphical interpretations of market trends by using different kernel regression methods. It's beneficial because it smoothes out price data, creating a clearer picture of price movements, and can be tailored according to the user's preference with various options.
What makes this indicator uniquely versatile is the 'Kernel Select' feature, which allows you to choose from a variety of regression kernel types, such as Gaussian, Logistic, Cosine, and many more. In fact, you have 17 options in total, making this an adaptable tool for diverse market contexts.
The bandwidth input parameter directly affects the smoothness of the regression line. While a lower value will make the line more sensitive to price changes by sticking closely to the actual prices, a higher value will smooth out the line even further by placing more emphasis on distant prices.
It's worth noting that the indicator's 'Repaint' function, which re-estimates work according to the most recent data, is not a deficiency or a flaw. Instead, it’s a crucial part of its functionality, updating the regression line with the most recent data, ensuring the indicator measurements remain as accurate as possible. We have however included a non-repaint feature that provides fixed calculations, creating a steady line that does not change once it has been plotted, for a different perspective on market trends.
This indicator also allows you to customize the line color, style, and width, allowing you to seamlessly integrate it into your existing chart setup. With labels indicating potential market turn points, you can stay on top of significant price movements.
Repaint : Enabling this allows the estimator to repaint to maintain accuracy as new data comes in.
Kernel Select : This option allows you to select from an array of kernel types such as Triangular, Gaussian, Logistic, etc. Each kernel has a unique weight function which influences how the regression line is calculated.
Bandwidth : This input, a scalar value, controls the regression line's sensitivity towards the price changes. A lower value makes the regression line more sensitive (closer to price) and higher value makes it smoother.
Source : Here you denote which price the indicator should consider for calculation. Traditionally, this is set as the close price.
Deviation : Adjust this to change the distance of the channel from the regression line. Higher values widen the channel, lower values make it smaller.
Line Style : This provides options to adjust the visual style of the regression lines. Options include Solid, Dotted, and Dashed.
Labels : Enabling this introduces markers at points where the market direction switches. Adjust the label size to suit your preference.
Colors : Customize color schemes for bullish and bearish trends along with the text color to match your chart setup.
Kernel regression, the technique behind the Multi Kernel Regression Indicator, has a rich history rooted in the world of statistical analysis and machine learning.
The origins of kernel regression are linked to the work of Emanuel Parzen in the 1960s. He was a pioneer in the development of nonparametric statistics, a domain where kernel regression plays a critical role. Although originally developed for the field of probability, these methods quickly found application in various other scientific disciplines, notably in econometrics and finance.
Kernel regression became really popular in the 1980s and 1990s along with the rise of other nonparametric techniques, like local regression and spline smoothing. It was during this time that kernel regression methods were extensively studied and widely applied in the fields of machine learning and data science.
What makes the kernel regression ideal for various statistical tasks, including financial market analysis, is its flexibility. Unlike linear regression, which assumes a specific functional form for the relationship between the independent and dependent variables, kernel regression makes no such assumptions. It creates a smooth curve fit to the data, which makes it extremely useful in capturing complex relationships in data.
In the context of stock market analysis, kernel regression techniques came into use in the late 20th century as computational power improved and these techniques could be more easily applied. Since then, they have played a fundamental role in financial market modeling, market prediction, and the development of trading indicators, like the Multi Kernel Regression Indicator.
Today, the use of kernel regression has solidified its place in the world of trading and market analysis, being widely recognized as one of the most effective methods for capturing and visualizing market trends.
The Multi Kernel Regression Indicator is built upon kernel regression, a versatile statistical method pioneered by Emanuel Parzen in the 1960s and subsequently refined for financial market analysis. It provides a robust and flexible approach to capturing complex market data relationships.
This indicator is more than just a charting tool; it reflects the power of computational trading methods, combining statistical robustness with visual versatility. It's an invaluable asset for traders, capturing and interpreting complex market trends while integrating seamlessly into diverse trading scenarios.
In summary, the Multi Kernel Regression Indicator stands as a testament to kernel regression's historic legacy, modern computational power, and contemporary trading insight.
[Rygel] Dual time frame Bollinger Bands with signals and alertsThis indicator displays two Bollinger Bands coming from two different time frames, chart's current one and a higher one.
It analyzes these two Bollinger Bands data and combines them with RSI, MFI and MACD divergences and SuperTrend to identify areas of opportunity where price is the most likely to be at a local top or bottom.
It uses probabilistic data, the Bollinger Bands, to identify convergence areas where the price is statistically overbought or oversold simultaneously at two different time frames, it then looks for signs of a trend exhaustion, using RSI, MFI and MACD divergences, and finally it looks for an early confirmation of a trend reversal, using SuperTrend data with aggressive settings.
This indicator does not produce buy and sell signals. You won't get a buy for every sell or a sell for every buy. In a bearish trend, you may get multiple consecutive bullish signals and in a bullish trend multiple bearish signals.
It is meant to help you to identify and to alert you about areas of opportunity where you could, for instance, consider taking some profits or opening a trade.
It is meant to support your investment or trading decisions, not to induce them.
SIGNALS
This indicator generated multiple types of signals. Diamonds are better than squares. Colored ones are better than grey ones.
Green square: a bullish signal confirmed by a regular divergence
Red square: a bearish signal confirmed by a regular divergence
Blue square: a bullish signal confirmed by a hidden divergence (disabled by default as these signals are less reliable)
Orange square: a bearish signal confirmed by a hidden divergence (disabled by default as these signals are less reliable)
Diamonds: same as the square signals but the signal is forming a divergence with a previous one. Diamond signals are always stronger (i.e. more reliable) than square signals.
Grey signals: same as the previous ones but for weaker signals. These signals appear when price in the current time frame is overbought or oversold but only close to be at the higher timeframe. (disabled by default as these signals are less reliable)
When a weak signal follows a strong one and creates a MACD divergence with it, it will be considered as a strong signal and displayed as a colored signal, even when weak signals are disabled.
When a strong signal follows a weak one, forming a MACD divergence, it will be shown as a diamond signal, even when weak signals are disabled.
Most reliable signals are green and red diamonds.
SETTINGS
Bollinger Bands
Source: the source used to calculate the Bollinger Bands ("close" by default)
Length: the moving-average length of the Bollinger Bands (20 by default)
You will most likely have no need to change these settings. If you're wondering what they actually do, you should most likely not touch them.
Main channel standard deviation: the standard deviation used to calculate the classical Bollinger Bands channel. (2.0 by default)
Outer bands standard deviation: additional channels outside the main one, using a larger standard deviation. (3.0 by default)
Theoretically, with a 1.0 standard deviation, around 68% of the price action should be contained within the Bollinger Bands.
With a 2.0 standard deviation, around 95%.
With a 3.0 standard deviation, around 99.7%.
With a 4.0 standard deviation, around 99.99%.
But as security prices returns have no actual statistical distribution, these probabilities don't strictly apply to Bollinger Bands. According to Wikipedia, studies have found that with a 2.0 standard deviation, only about 88% (85–90%) of the price data remain with the Bollinger Bands, instead of the theoretical 95%.
The higher you set the values, the less signals you'll get.
You should most likely keep the main channel standard deviation between 2 and 3 and add between +0.5 and +1 for the outer bands.
Most commonly used value for Bollinger Bands is 2.0.
Current time frame
Show current time frame Bollinger Bands: these are the Bollinger Bands you're used to. (enabled by default)
Show current time frame outer bands: add two additional bands outside the main channel using a larger standard deviation. (enabled by default)
Higher time frame
Show higher time frame Bollinger Bands: display secondary Bollinger Bands from a higher time frame. Time frames are configured in the below "Time frames" section. (enabled by default)
Show higher time frame outer bands: add two additional bands outside the main channel using a larger standard deviation (enabled by default)
Overbought and oversold
Show oversold and overbought background: add a background to the higher time Bollinger Bands whose color depends on the dual time frame Bollinger Bands oversold / overbought status. (enabled by default)
Asset is considered overbought/oversold when its price is outside of the Bollinger Bands' main channel.
Asset is considered strongly overbought/oversold when its price is outside of the Bollinger Bands' outer bands.
Dark red: both time frame are overbought (outside the main channel)
Red: one time frame is strongly overbought (outside the outer bands) and the other one is overbought (outside the main channel)
Bright red: both time frame are strongly overbought (outside the outer bands)
Dark green: both time frame are oversold (outside the main channel)
Green: one time frame is strongly oversold (outside the outer bands) and the other one is oversold (outside the main channel)
Bright green: both time frame are strongly oversold (outside the outer bands)
Signals
Show signals: display signals when an area of opportunity is detected. Read the introduction and the Signals section for more information. (enabled by default)
Show weak signals: display signals although at the higher time frame price is not yet overbought or oversold but close to be (disabled by default)
Divergences
Use MACD for divergences (enabled by default)
Use MFI for divergences (enabled by default)
Use RSI for divergences (enabled by default)
At least one source of divergences must be enabled for signals to work.
Enable hidden divergences: signals don't use hidden divergences by default as they generate more false positives than regular divergences. You can enable them to get more signals, it can be especially useful at high time frames (like weekly, monthly, etc.) where signals are rarer. (disabled by default)
Show divergences: draw MACD, MFI and RSI divergences on the chart. (disabled by default)
Green: regular bullish divergence
Red: regular bearish divergence
Blue: hidden bullish divergence
Orange: hidden bearish divergence
Confirmation
Confirmation speed: a faster confirmation speed will generate more false positive signals, a slower one will produce delayed but more reliable signals.
Fastest: don't wait for a SuperTrend confirmation, only wait for a divergence confirmation. Lot of false positives.
Fast: wait for a fast SuperTrend confirmation (SuperTrend factor = 1).
Medium: wait for a slower but more reliable SuperTrend confirmation (SuperTrend factor = 2). Fewer false positives but more lagging signals.
Slow: wait for an even slower but very reliable SuperTrend confirmation (SuperTrend factor = 3). Very few false positives but very late signals.
Time frames
You can define the higher time frames you wish to use here.
Default values try to adhere to a x6 to x8 ratio, x4 to x12 at maximum.
Some pairs are more significant than others, like 4 hour + daily, daily + weekly and weekly + monthly.

Time frames use the TradingView units:
s = seconds
h = hours
D = days
W = weeks
M = months
no unit = minutes
Time frame strings follow these rules:
They are composed of the multiplier and the time frame unit, e.g., “1S”, “30” (30 minutes), “1D” (one day), “3M” (three months).
The unit is represented by a single letter, with no letter used for minutes: “S” for seconds, “D” for days, “W” for weeks and “M” for months.
When no multiplier is used, 1 is assumed: “S” is equivalent to “1S”, “D” to “1D, etc. If only “1” is used, it is interpreted as “1min”, since no unit letter identifier is used for minutes.
There is no “hour” unit; “1H” is not valid. The correct format for one hour is “60” (remember no unit letter is specified for minutes).
The valid multipliers vary for each time frame unit:
- For seconds, only the discrete 1, 5, 10, 15 and 30 multipliers are valid.
- For minutes, 1 to 1440.
- For days, 1 to 365.
- For weeks, 1 to 52.
- For months, 1 to 12.

ABOUT THE HIGHER TIME FRAME BOLLINGER BANDS
Using a classical higher time frame Bollinger Bands would produce lagging data. For instance, if we are using a weekly BB at the daily time frame, we'll have to wait up to 7 days for the weekly bar to close to get the actual final weekly BB values. Instead, this indicator generates real time higher time frame Bollinger Bands by multiplying the moving average length of the Bollinger Bands by the higher time frame / current time frame ratio. For instance, a weekly BB in the daily time frame will use a x7 ratio (i.e. a 20 * 7 = 140 days MA BB).
It produces slightly different but very similar bands that are as meaningful and can be used in real time at lower time frames.
Alternatives would have been to wait up to seven days for signals to be finalized, which would have render them meaningless. Or to use previous week data, which would have made the signal inaccurrate.
To sum up, weekly Bollinger Bands use a 20 weeks moving average updated one time a week. In the daily time frame, this indicator also use a 20 weeks (140 days) moving average but updated daily instead of weekly.
A comparison between a traditional higher time frame Bollinger Bands vs the ones used by this indicator:
Blue and orange lines are the actual weekly BBs, grey ones are the daily updated ones.
ABOUT THE DIVERGENCES
This indicator uses the same divergences algorithm as my other indicators:
- RSI with divergences
- MACD with divergences
- Trend Reversal Indicator
You'll find more information about this algorithm on my RSI page.

- The regular Bollinger Band setting, 2 standard deviations
- Two fixed symmetrical deviations at 15% and 20% away from the XMA
Bollinger Bands and SMA Channel Buy and Sell
This Indicator is a combination of a standard BB indicator incorporated with a SSL Channel by ErwinBeckers which is Simple Moving average with a length of set at 10 (Default) and calculates the high and low set for the default 10 to form a Channel.
The Settings for the Bollinger Band is the standard settings on a normal Bollinger Band - Length 20, source close and Standard dev 2
The setting for the SMA is length 10 and the high and low calculated or that length to form a channel.
The SMA Channel gives a green line for the Up channel and the Red line for the down Channel.
The basis of the indicator is that the Candle close above the Basis line of the BB and the SMA green line will give a buy indicator
and the same for Sell indicator the candle close below the basis BB and the SMA line Red will give a Sell indicator.
Please note that this indicator is a mix of 2 basic indicators found in Trading view, giving Buy and Sell indicators to make things easier to not look for this visually.
This code will be open source for anyone to use or back test or use it for whatever they want.
This code is for my own personal trading and cannot be relied upon. This indicator cannot be used and cannot guarantee anything, and caution should always be taken when trading. Use this with other indicators to give certanty.
Again use this for Paper Trading only.
I want to thank TradingView for its platform that facilitates development and learning.
Banded Chikou Breakout — Quantifying Ichimoku MomentumTitle: Banded Chikou Breakout — Quantifying Ichimoku Momentum
Overview:
Banded Chikou Breakout (BCB) is a unique, algorithmic script designed to augment the capabilities of traders seeking substantial breakout opportunities. Constructed on the robust principles of the Ichimoku trading strategy, BCB is designed to quantify and filter the Chikou Span's significant breakouts above or below the price action. This script does not aim to replace the Ichimoku system; instead, it enhances it, providing an optimized tool for momentum trading.
Rationale:
Ichimoku traders often scrutinize the Chikou Span's position relative to price action to identify market trends. However, determining whether the Chikou Span is above or below due to a genuine trend or mere market noise can be challenging in choppy markets. BCB resolves this predicament by offering a unique way to interpret the Chikou Span's movement. It does so by quantifying the Chikou Span's momentum and utilizing Bollinger Bands to determine its significance. By effectively differentiating substantial movements from the insignificant, BCB can help traders better navigate the market and increase their potential for profitable trades.
How it Works:
BCB combines three key elements: a Momentum Script (simulating Chikou Span), a Bollinger Band Script, and a Timeframe Switcher, all working together to provide a refined trading perspective.
Momentum Script: Calculates the price difference between the current price and the price 'n' periods ago, transforming the Chikou Span into a quantifiable momentum value that signifies the strength and speed of a market move.
Bollinger Band Script: Computes a Simple Moving Average (SMA) around the momentum, plotting two 'bands' at a specified standard deviation from this SMA. This functionality allows traders to discern when the Chikou Span's momentum is abnormally high or low, signifying a potential significant breakout.
Timeframe Switcher: This feature lets traders apply the BCB script to a different timeframe from the one they are currently viewing. This capability can help traders identify higher timeframe breakouts and trade them with precision on the lower timeframe.
How to Use:
BCB is designed to complement the Ichimoku strategy for effective breakout identification.
Add the BCB script to your trading chart. It plots the momentum (yellow line) and Bollinger Bands (green lines) with the area between the bands shaded blue.
Utilize the Ichimoku strategy to identify larger and smaller timeframe trends.
Optional: Leverage the timeframe switcher to synchronize your trades with higher timeframe trends while operating on lower timeframes.
If the BCB momentum line crosses the upper Bollinger Band while the Ichimoku indicates a bullish trend, it signifies a potential significant upward breakout. Similarly, a cross below the lower band during a bearish trend could denote a significant downward breakout.
Remember, without the context provided by the Ichimoku system's trend analysis, BCB can yield false breakouts. It is, therefore, crucial to use these tools in tandem. I like to check for an Ichimoku trend on the 4H and 1H charts, and then use BCB on charts <60 minutes to capture trends with precision.
TTP VIX SpyTTP VIX Spy is an indicator that uses data from TVC:VIX to better time entries in the market.
The assumption used is that when the VIX is coming down from the top of its range then the risk on assets can move to the upside and when the VIX is is pushing higher there's a high likelihood or risk on assets going down.
This indicator observes the momentum of VIX using MACD. It offers two different signals both for longs and shorts: signal 1 and 2.
Signal 1 is activate when the begging of a new trend for the VIX is confirmed.
Signal 2 is activated when the VIX pulls back from an extreme value.
You can configure the parameters of the internal super trend and the look back for the slope applied to price and RSIs.
The indicator offers the following filter parameters:
- Price RSI slope: it filters signals that have RSI slope pointing in the opposite direction of the signal.
- Counter trend: it filters signals that are not counter trending super trend.
- Wide BBW: it filters signals that happen when there hasn't been high price volatility
- Price slope: it filters signals when the price is not pointing in the direction of the signal (buy: up, sell: down)
- VIX RSI filter: it filters VIX RSI values overextended. MACD can be in the right range, but sometimes RSI contradicts it. By default is OFF since it can cause false negatives.
- Working days only: it filters signals that occur in the weekend.
The colours below the price action show how the VIX momentum is changing. Transitions from red into pink and then green show how the fear is fading which tends to lead to lead to bullish moves, and the opposite when the transitions are from green to red.
Performance and initial thoughts.
I have tried VIX Spy on both BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P and BINANCE:ETHUSDT.P and it seems to offer a decent win ratio. As you can see I had to add many filter to remove bad entries and left toggles available to decide which ones you want to use.
I tried the signal in the 4H, 1H and 15min with mixed results. I tend to incline for the results in the 1H.
VIX signal offers a backtestable stream and alerts both for signals 1 and 2.
BBWAS Enhanced with Webhook Alerts and Money ManagementThe Enhanced BBWAS Indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify breakouts in the price of a security or asset. It utilizes Bollinger Bands, which consist of three lines: the upper band, the lower band, and the middle band (or basis). These bands help define the expected price range within which the asset is likely to fluctuate.
When the price breaks above the upper band or below the lower band, it indicates a potential breakout. A bullish breakout occurs when the price closes above the upper band, while a bearish breakout occurs when the price closes below the lower band.
In this enhanced version of the indicator, several new features have been added to provide more flexibility and functionality:
Webhook Alerts: Traders now have the ability to configure webhook alerts to trigger a bot or any external system. This allows for timely notifications when a breakout occurs, enabling automated actions or manual intervention as desired.
Multiple Moving Average Types: The indicator now supports different types of moving averages for increased customization. Traders can choose from popular moving average types such as Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and Weighted Moving Average (WMA). This enables users to experiment and find the moving average type that best suits their trading strategy.
Money Management: To assist traders in managing risk, a money management feature has been incorporated into the indicator. It calculates the optimal position size or number of units to purchase for each trade, considering the desired risk per trade. By specifying a maximum risk per trade, traders can ensure that their position sizes are adjusted accordingly, helping to maintain risk control in their trading activities.
Dear traders, while we strive to provide you with the best trading tools and resources, we want to remind you to exercise caution and diligence in your investing decisions.
It is important to always do your own research and analysis before making any trades. Remember, the responsibility for your investments ultimately lies with you.
Happy trading!
custom Bollinger bands with filters - indicator (AS)-----------Description-------------
This indicator is basically Bollinger bands with many ways to customize. It uses highest and lowest values of upper and lower band for exits. I think something is wrong with the script but cant find any mistakes – most probably smoothing. The ATR filter is implemented but is working incorrectly. In code you can also turn it into strategy but I do not recommend it for now as it is not ready yet.
So this is my first script and I am looking for any advice, ideas to improve this script, sets of parameters, markets to apply, logical mistakes in code or any ideas that you may have. Indicator was initially designed for EURUSD 5MIN but I would be interested in other ideas.
-----------SETTINGS--------------
---START - In starting settings we can choose
Line 1: what parts to use BB/DC/ATR
Line 2: what parts to plot on chart
Line 3 Whether or not apply smoothing to BB or ATR filter
Line 4 Calculate deviation for BB from price or Moving average
Line 5 Fill colors and plot other parts for debug (overlay=false)
Line 6:( for strategy) – enable Long/Short Trades
---BB and DC – here we modify Bollinger bands and Donchian
Line 1: Length and type of BB middle line and also length of DC from BB
Line 2: Length and type of BB standard deviation and multiplier
Line 3: Length and type of BB smoothing and %width for BB filter
---ATR filter – (not ready fully yet)
Line 1: type and length of ATR
Line 2: threshold and smoothing value of ATR
---DATE and SESSION
Line 1: apply custom date or session?
Line 2: session hours settings
Line 3:Custom starting date
Line 4: Custom Ending date
-----------HOW TO USE--------------
We open Long if BB width is bigger than threshold and close when upper band is no longer highest in the period set. Exact opposite with Short
Damage Indicator by Scipio ProScipio Pro's Damage Indicator detects strong momentum on tops and bottoms. It is intended for swing trading.
The script analyzes both recent and less-recent price action and performs candle stick analysis. It also uses SDs and multiple Bollinger Bands to find dynamic levels for entries.
A Bears Damaged signal emerges whenever there is convincing proof of strength at a bottom. Often, when the market reverses quickly, traders are caught offside and are forced to buy higher. The reverse goes for Bulls Damaged signals, which mean there is convincing proof of bearish strength at a (local?) top.
Whether the move gets legs depends in large part on the structure in which the show of momentum takes place. It is sensible to wonder after each signal whether the market structure (and other relevant context such as the majority of cash having been sidelined) dictates that risk-reward is skewed to the upside or to the downside. If, for example, a Bears Damaged signal emerges on the daily and risk-reward on the weekly is skewed to the upside, go 4x larger (again, just an example). If, on the other hand, the same signal emerges on the daily while the risk-reward is skewed to the downside on the weekly, bet much smaller and tighten your stop-loss. For best results, I suggest you always check one timeframe higher for your long-term risk-reward bias. (No financial advice, of course.)
Under Settings you'll find the so-called Noise Protection , which is switched "on" by default. We recommend you keep this switched on. Noise Protection ensures you do not see Damage signals on timeframes lower than the 4 hour. After all, chasing momentum on low timeframes is a losing game. The amount of noise increases exponentially as you move lower down the timeframes. Again, this indicator is for swing trades. Don't use it for scalping.
It should be useful for all assets, but is of course more useful on some than on others. As with all indicators, signals tend to be more meaningful if the asset in question is at least somewhat liquid, for instance.
As always, use at your own risk. Using indicators is no substitute for using one's brain.
5EMA BollingerBand Nifty Stock Scanner
What ?
We all heard about (well: over-heard) 5-EMA strategy. Which falls into the broader category of mean reversal type of trading setup.
What is mean reversal?
Price (or any time series, in fact) tries to follow a mean . Whenever price diverges from the mean it tries to meet it back.
It is empirically observed by some traders (I honestly don't know who first time observed it) that in Indian context specially, 5 Exponential Moving Average (5-EMA) works pretty good as that mean.
So whenever price moves away from that 5-EMA, it ultimately comes back and attain total nirvana :) Means: if price moved way higher than the 5EMA without touching it, then price will correct to meet it's 5-EMA and if price moved way lower, it will be uplifted to meet it's 5-EMA. Funny - but it works !
Now there are already enough social media coverage on this 5-EMA strategy/setup. Even TradingView has some excellent work done on these setups. Kudos to all those great souls.
So when we came to know about this, we were thinking what we should do for the community. Because it is well cover topic (specially in Indian context). Also, there are public indicators.
Then we thought why not come up with a scanner which will scan all the Nifty-50 constituent stocks and find out on the fly, real-time which all stocks are matching this 5-EMA setup and causing a Buy/Sell trade recommendation.
Hence here we are with the first version of our first scanner on the 5EMA setup (well it has some more masala than merely a 5-EMA setup).
Why?
Parts of why is already covered up.
Now instead of blindly following 5-EMA setup, we added the Bollinger band as well. Again: it's also not new. There are enough coverage in social media about the 5-EMA+BB strategy/setup. We mercilessly borrowed from all of these.
Suppose you have an indicator.
Now you apply the indicator in your chart. And then you need to (rock) and roll through your watchlist of Nifty-50 stocks (note: TradingView has no default watchlist of Nifty-50 stock by default - you have to create one custom watchlist to list all manually) to find out which all are matching the setup, need to take a note about the trade recomendations (entry, SL, target) and other stuffs like VWAP, Volume, volatility (Bollinger Band Width).
Not any more.
This scanner will track all the Nifty-50 stocks (technically: 40 stocks other than Banking stocks) and provide which one to Buy or Sell (if any), what's the entry, SL, target, where is the VWAP of the day, what's the picture in volume (high, low, rising, falling) and the implied volatility (using Bolling band width). Also it has a naive alerting mechanism as well.
In fact the code is there to monitor the (Future) OI also and all the OI drama (OI vs price and all the 4 stuffs like long build up, long unwinding, short covering, short buildup). But unfortunately, due to some limitations of the TradingView (that one can not monitor more than 40 `ta.security` call) we have to comment out the code. If you wish you can monitor only 20 stocks and enable the OI monitoring also (20 for stocks + 20 for their OI monitoring .. total 40 `ta.security` call).
How?
To know the divergence from 5-EMA we just check if the high of the candle (on closing) is below the 5-EMA. Then we check if the closing is inside the Bollinger Band (BB). That's a Buy signal. SL: low of the candle, T: middle and higher BB.
Just opposite for selling. 5-EMA low should be above 5-EMA and closing should be inside BB (lesser than BB higher level). That's a Sell signal. SL: high of the candle, T: middle and lower BB.
Along with we compare the current bar's volume with the last-20 bar VWMA (volume weighted moving average) to determine if the volume is high or low.
Present bar's volume is compared with the previous bar's volume to know if it's rising or falling.
VWAP is also determined using `ta.vwap` built-in support of TradingView.
The Bolling Band width is also notified, along with whether it is rising or falling (comparing with previous candle).
Simple, but effective.
Customization
As usual the EMA setup (5 default), the BB setup (20 SMA with 1.5 standard deviation), we provided option wherther to include or exclude BB role in the 5-EMA setup (as we found out there are two schools of thought .. some people use BB some don't. Lets make all happy :))
We also provide options to choose other symbols using Settings if they wish so. We have the default 40 non banking Nifty stocks (why non-banking? - Bank Nifty is in ATH :) .. enough :)). But if user wishes can monitor others too (provided the symbol is there in TradingView).
Although we strongly recommend the timeframe as 30 minutes , you can choose what's fit you most.
The output of the scanner is a table. By default the table is placed in the right-bottom (as we are most comfortable with that). However you can change per your wish. We have the option to choose that.
What is unique in it ?
This is more of an indicator. This is a scanner (of Nifty-50 stocks). So you can apply (our recommendation is in 30m timeframe) it to any chart (does not matter which chart it is) and it will show every 30 mins (which is also configurable) which all stocks (along with trade levels) to Buy and Sell according to the setup.
It will ease your trading activity.
You can concentrate only on the execution, the filtering you can leave it to this one.
Limitations
There is a build in limitation of the TradingView platform is that one can call only upto 40 securities API. Not beyond that. So naturally we are constraint by that. Otherwise we could monitor 190 Nifty F&O stocks itself.
30m is the recommended timeframe. In very lower (say 5m) this script tends to go out of heap (out of memory). Please note that also.
How to trade using this?
Put any chart in 30m (recommended) timeframe.
Apply this screener from Indicators (shortcut to launch indicators is just type / in your keyboard).
This will provide the Buy (shown in green color) or Sell (shown in red color) recommendations in a table, at every 30m candle closing.
Note the volume and BB width as well.
Wait for at least 2 5-minutes candles to close above/below the recommended level .
Take the trade with the SL and target mentioned.

Multi-timeframe Volume Weighted Average
First let's define Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP):
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is a widely-used technical analysis indicator that calculates the average price of a security, taking into account both price and trading volume. In essence, it represents the average price at which a security has been traded throughout a specified time period, giving more weight to transactions with higher volume.
The VWAP is often used by traders and investors to assess the market's trend and gauge the relative value of a security. It serves as a benchmark for institutional investors, who often use it to evaluate their trading performance and determine whether they are buying or selling at favorable prices.
The formula for calculating VWAP is:
VWAP = (Sum of (Price * Volume)) / Total Volume
By incorporating volume into the calculation, the VWAP provides a more accurate representation of a security's true average price, as it takes into consideration the impact of larger trades on the price. This makes it a valuable tool for traders seeking to make more informed decisions in the market and avoid getting caught in unfavorable trading positions.
VWAP is a crucial indicator that provides insights into the average price at which a financial asset, such as a stock or cryptocurrency, has been traded throughout a specific period. It takes into consideration the volume of trades executed at each price level during that period. The VWAP lines included in the " VWAP Xing D, Prv. D, W, Q, M, & Y" indicator offer various timeframe perspectives, allowing traders to analyze different levels of market trends and behaviors.
Here's a detailed explanation of the VWAP lines and their significance:
1. Daily VWAP (D): The daily VWAP line represents the average price at which the asset has been traded throughout the current trading day. It resets at the beginning of each trading session. Traders often use the daily VWAP as a reference point to gauge the fairness of their trade executions relative to the prevailing market prices. Price deviations from the daily VWAP can indicate shifts in market sentiment and potential trading opportunities.
2. Previous Day VWAP (Prv.D): The previous day VWAP line reflects the average price at which the asset was traded during the preceding trading day. It helps traders assess the continuity or deviation of the current day's price action relative to the previous day's trading activity. Traders often observe the previous day VWAP for insights into potential support or resistance levels and to identify whether the current day's price is trading above or below the previous day's average price.
3. Weekly VWAP (W): The weekly VWAP line calculates the average price of the asset over the entire week, taking into account the volume traded at each price level. Traders use the weekly VWAP to gain a broader perspective on the asset's price movement and potential trend directions. It can act as a significant support or resistance level, especially when the price interacts with the weekly VWAP.
4. Monthly VWAP (M): The monthly VWAP line provides a longer-term perspective by averaging the asset's price and volume data over the entire month. It helps traders identify key price levels that are significant within the monthly timeframe. Traders often observe the monthly VWAP to assess the overall trend and to determine whether the current price is trading above or below the monthly average.
5. Quarterly VWAP (Q): The quarterly VWAP line calculates the average price and volume data over a three-month period, representing a longer-term view of market activity. Traders use the quarterly VWAP to identify significant price levels and to analyze the broader trend within the quarterly timeframe. Deviations from the quarterly VWAP can indicate potential shifts in market sentiment and trading opportunities.
6. Yearly VWAP (Y): The yearly VWAP line represents the average price and volume data over the course of a year. It offers a comprehensive long-term perspective on the asset's price behavior and trend. Traders often consider the yearly VWAP as a key reference point for assessing the asset's overall performance and identifying major support or resistance levels.
By observing the VWAP lines, traders can gain insights into the prevailing market sentiment, potential support or resistance levels, and deviations from average prices. These deviations can be useful for identifying potential trading opportunities, such as when the price significantly deviates from the VWAP lines, suggesting potential overbought or oversold conditions. Additionally, VWAP can serve as a benchmark for evaluating trade executions and assessing the fair value of an asset.
It's important to note that while VWAP is a valuable tool, it should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis indicators and strategies to make informed trading decisions. Traders should consider factors like market context, trend analysis, and risk management principles to validate signals and confirm potential trading opportunities.
Bollinger Bands and Donchian Channels
In addition to VWAP this indicator also has combined the power of Bollinger Bands and Donchian Channels to produce a solid framework. The time frame by default is set to 30 min which is good for intraday trading but you can also change that in the setting to always use chart time frame intervals which works better on longer time frames.
IMPORTANT: You can change the time frame to always use chart or keep the default on 30 min or change it to another timeframe manually. If you allow the chart to always provide the intervals then the default 30 min will be ineffective and it automatically adjust to chart timeframe. Personally I think a fixed timeframe work better so keep in that way if you trade on 30 min or lower time frame.
Bollinger Bands and Donchian Channels are two popular technical analysis tools that provide valuable insights into price volatility, potential breakout levels, and support/resistance areas. When used in combination, they offer a comprehensive framework for analyzing market conditions and identifying trading opportunities.
Bollinger Bands: Bollinger Bands consist of two lines plotted above and below a moving average, typically a simple moving average (SMA). The upper band is calculated by adding the standard deviation of price multiplied by a customizable standard deviation factor to the SMA. The lower band is calculated by subtracting the standard deviation multiplied by the same factor from the SMA. The key features of Bollinger Bands are as follows:
1. Volatility Measurement: Bollinger Bands expand and contract based on market volatility. When the bands widen, it indicates higher volatility, and when they narrow, it suggests lower volatility. Traders can observe the width of the bands to gauge the potential for price movements and volatility expansions.
2. Overbought/Oversold Levels: Bollinger Bands can help identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market. When the price reaches or exceeds the upper band, it may indicate that the asset is overbought and due for a potential reversal or pullback. Conversely, when the price reaches or falls below the lower band, it may suggest oversold conditions and a possible bounce or reversal.
Donchian Channels: Donchian Channels consist of two lines representing the highest high and lowest low within a specified period. The key characteristics of Donchian Channels are as follows:
1. Breakout Levels: The upper line of the Donchian Channel represents the highest high within the specified period, while the lower line represents the lowest low. Traders often use Donchian Channels to identify potential breakout levels. When the price breaks above the upper channel line, it may indicate a bullish breakout and the potential for further upward momentum. Conversely, a break below the lower channel line suggests a bearish breakout and the possibility of downward momentum.
2. Support/Resistance Areas: Donchian Channels also act as dynamic support and resistance levels. The upper channel line can act as a resistance level where the price may encounter selling pressure. The lower channel line can act as a support level where the price may find buying interest. Traders can monitor price interactions with these levels to make informed trading decisions.
Advantages of Using Bollinger Bands and Donchian Channels Together: By combining Bollinger Bands and Donchian Channels, traders can gain a more comprehensive view of market conditions and potential trading opportunities. Here are some advantages of using them together:
1. Volatility Confirmation: Bollinger Bands help identify periods of high or low volatility, while Donchian Channels confirm breakouts and potential trend changes. When the bands widen and a breakout occurs above or below the Donchian Channels, it can provide confirmation of increased volatility and the start of a new trend.
2. Price Extremes and Breakouts: Bollinger Bands assist in identifying overbought and oversold conditions, while Donchian Channels help pinpoint breakout levels. When price reaches an extreme level according to Bollinger Bands and coincides with a breakout from the Donchian Channels, it can signal a significant trading opportunity.
3. Support/Resistance Validation: Donchian Channels act as dynamic support and resistance levels, and Bollinger Bands can validate these levels. When price bounces off the upper or lower Bollinger Band near a Donchian Channel level, it provides additional confirmation of the support or resistance area.
4. Risk Management: The combination of Bollinger Bands and Donchian Channels enables traders to set more precise stop-loss levels and define risk. They can place stop-loss orders beyond the support or resistance levels identified.
Standard Deviation
Standard deviation bands by default are disabled but you can easily enable them in the setting. The 1 standard deviation bands are made invisible by default to avoid a crowded space. You can reduce the transparency to view them.
In intraday trading, the Daily VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) with 3 standard deviations is a powerful tool that helps traders gauge price movements and potential trading opportunities. Here's how it works and why it is useful:
1. Calculation of Daily VWAP: The Daily VWAP is the average price at which a security has traded throughout the trading day, weighted by the volume of each trade. It provides a measure of the average price that traders have paid for the asset during the day.
2. Standard Deviation: Standard deviation is a statistical measure that quantifies the dispersion or variability of prices around the Daily VWAP. It gives an indication of how much prices deviate from the average. A higher standard deviation suggests greater price volatility.
3. Three Standard Deviations: By adding and subtracting three times the standard deviation from the Daily VWAP, you create bands that represent the potential price range within which the majority of intraday trading activity is expected to occur. These bands act as potential support and resistance levels and help traders identify price extremes.
4. Price Reversals: When the intraday price extends beyond the upper or lower band (three standard deviations), it suggests an overextended move or potential price reversal. Traders interpret this as an opportunity to enter or exit trades. If the price moves beyond the upper band, it may indicate overbought conditions and a possible reversal to the downside. Conversely, if the price moves below the lower band, it may signal oversold conditions and a potential reversal to the upside.
5. Volatility and Breakouts: Intraday traders often look for volatility and breakout opportunities. The three standard deviation bands on the Daily VWAP provide valuable information about price volatility. When the price breaks out of the bands, it suggests a significant increase in volatility and potential opportunities for intraday traders to take advantage of strong momentum moves.
6. Risk Management: The three standard deviation bands help traders define their risk and set stop-loss orders. By placing stop-loss orders outside the bands, traders can protect their positions in case the price moves beyond the expected range. This risk management technique allows traders to limit their potential losses and preserve capital.
7. Confirmation with Other Indicators: Intraday traders often use the three standard deviation bands on the Daily VWAP in conjunction with other technical indicators or chart patterns to strengthen their trading decisions. The bands can validate other signals or provide additional confirmation before entering or exiting a trade.
Overall, the Daily VWAP with three standard deviations is a valuable tool for intraday traders as it helps identify price extremes, potential reversals, volatility, and breakout opportunities. By incorporating this indicator into their trading strategies, traders can make more informed decisions and enhance their intraday trading performance.
Auto Boxed Range Detector
The true innovation in the "VWAP Xing D, Prv.D, W, Q, M, & Y + SD" indicator lies in the integration of the sophisticated 'Auto Boxed Range Detector.' This feature serves as the cornerstone of the tool's enhanced functionality, shedding light on critical price ranges to give traders a distinct advantage when identifying potential breakouts or breakdowns.
Meticulously designed with the needs of traders in mind, the Auto Boxed Range Detector automates the process of pinpointing trading ranges, resulting in increased precision and swiftness in your decision-making. By automating this crucial aspect of technical analysis, traders can now focus on other essential factors, ultimately maximizing their trading efficiency.
Furthermore, the Auto Boxed Range Detector helps traders avoid falling prey to false breakouts. By identifying the top of the boxed range in relation to resistance levels, users can more accurately predict the likelihood of a breakout. For instance, if the top of the boxed range is situated near a resistance line, the chances of a breakout are diminished unless the market is experiencing a trend day.
In essence, the Auto Boxed Range Detector not only streamlines the identification of trading ranges but also provides invaluable insights into the validity of potential breakouts or breakdowns. This innovative feature makes the "VWAP Xing D, Prv.D, W, Q, M, & Y + SD" indicator an indispensable tool for traders seeking to capitalize on opportunities while minimizing risk in today's fast-paced financial markets.
Once you get used to this tool it will be an integral part of your trading.
SuperBollingerTrend (Expo)█ Overview
The SuperBollingerTrend indicator is a combination of two popular technical analysis tools, Bollinger Bands, and SuperTrend. By fusing these two indicators, SuperBollingerTrend aims to provide traders with a more comprehensive view of the market, accounting for both volatility and trend direction. By combining trend identification with volatility analysis, the SuperBollingerTrend indicator provides traders with valuable insights into potential trend changes. It recognizes that high volatility levels often accompany stronger price momentum, which can result in the formation of new trends or the continuation of existing ones.
█ How Volatility Impacts Trends
Volatility can impact trends by expanding or contracting them, triggering trend reversals, leading to breakouts, and influencing risk management decisions. Traders need to analyze and monitor volatility levels in conjunction with trend analysis to gain a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics.
█ How to use
Trend Reversals: High volatility can result in more dramatic price fluctuations, which may lead to sharp trend reversals. For example, a sudden increase in volatility can cause a bullish trend to transition into a bearish one, or vice versa, as traders react to significant price swings.
Volatility Breakouts: Volatility can trigger breakouts in trends. Breakouts occur when the price breaks through a significant support or resistance level, indicating a potential shift in the trend. Higher volatility levels can increase the likelihood of breakouts, as they indicate stronger market momentum and increased buying or selling pressure. This indicator triggers when the volatility increases, and if the price is near a key level when the indicator alerts, it might trigger a great trend.
█ Features
Peak Signal Move
The indicator calculates the peak price move for each ZigZag and displays it under each signal. This highlights how much the market moved between the signals.
Average ZigZag Move
All price moves between two signals are stored, and the average or the median is calculated and displayed in a table. This gives traders a great idea of how much the market moves on average between two signals.
Take Profit
The Take Profit line is placed at the average or the median price move and gives traders a great idea of what they can expect in average profit from the latest signals.
