Daily High/Low Close Breakout - GOLD### **Daily High/Low Close Breakout Indicator**
This indicator is a powerful tool for identifying potential breakout opportunities based on the previous day's price action. It's built on a unique time-based logic that defines key support and resistance levels for the trading day.
---
### **How the Indicator Works**
The indicator operates in two main phases:
1. **Calculation Period (00:00 to 16:30 Tehran Time):** The indicator first observes the price action from the start of the day until 16:30. During this time, it records the highest and lowest **closing prices** of all candles. The chart background is shaded gray to visually mark this period.
2. **Trading Period (16:30 to 16:30 the next day):** At 16:30, the highest and lowest close levels are finalized and drawn as horizontal lines. These levels then become the primary breakout zones for the next 24 hours. The indicator will generate signals whenever the price crosses these lines.
---
### **Trading Signals**
The indicator uses a simple and effective crossover logic for its signals:
* **BUY Signal:** A signal is generated when a candle's closing price **crosses above** the high close line.
* **SELL Signal:** A signal is generated when a candle's closing price **crosses below** the low close line.
---
### **Important Usage Guidelines**
For optimal performance, please follow these specific recommendations:
* **Timeframe:** This indicator is designed and optimized to be used exclusively on the **15-minute timeframe**. Using it on other timeframes may produce inconsistent or unreliable results.
* **Primary Asset:** The logic for this indicator was developed and backtested primarily for **Gold (XAUUSD)**. Its performance and win rate have been observed to be the most consistent on this asset.
* **Asset Restriction:** It is strongly recommended to **avoid using this indicator on other currency pairs or assets**, as it has not been optimized for their specific market behavior.

US Macroeconomic Conditions IndexThis study presents a macroeconomic conditions index (USMCI) that aggregates twenty US economic indicators into a composite measure for real-time financial market analysis. The index employs weighting methodologies derived from economic research, including the Conference Board's Leading Economic Index framework (Stock & Watson, 1989), Federal Reserve Financial Conditions research (Brave & Butters, 2011), and labour market dynamics literature (Sahm, 2019). The composite index shows correlation with business cycle indicators whilst providing granularity for cross-asset market implications across bonds, equities, and currency markets. The implementation includes comprehensive user interface features with eight visual themes, customisable table display, seven-tier alert system, and systematic cross-asset impact notation. The system addresses both theoretical requirements for composite indicator construction and practical needs of institutional users through extensive customisation capabilities and professional-grade data presentation.
Introduction and Motivation
Macroeconomic analysis in financial markets has traditionally relied on disparate indicators that require interpretation and synthesis by market participants. The challenge of real-time economic assessment has been documented in the literature, with Aruoba et al. (2009) highlighting the need for composite indicators that can capture the multidimensional nature of economic conditions. Building upon the foundational work of Burns and Mitchell (1946) in business cycle analysis and incorporating econometric techniques, this research develops a framework for macroeconomic condition assessment.
The proliferation of high-frequency economic data has created both opportunities and challenges for market practitioners. Whilst the availability of real-time data from sources such as the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) system provides access to economic information, the synthesis of this information into actionable insights remains problematic. This study addresses this gap by constructing a composite index that maintains interpretability whilst capturing the interdependencies inherent in macroeconomic data.
Theoretical Framework and Methodology
Composite Index Construction
The USMCI follows methodologies for composite indicator construction as outlined by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD, 2008). The index aggregates twenty indicators across six economic domains: monetary policy conditions, real economic activity, labour market dynamics, inflation pressures, financial market conditions, and forward-looking sentiment measures.
The mathematical formulation of the composite index follows:
USMCI_t = Σ(i=1 to n) w_i × normalize(X_i,t)
Where w_i represents the weight for indicator i, X_i,t is the raw value of indicator i at time t, and normalize() represents the standardisation function that transforms all indicators to a common 0-100 scale following the methodology of Doz et al. (2011).
Weighting Methodology
The weighting scheme incorporates findings from economic research:
Manufacturing Activity (28% weight): The Institute for Supply Management Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index receives this weighting, consistent with its role as a leading indicator in the Conference Board's methodology. This allocation reflects empirical evidence from Koenig (2002) demonstrating the PMI's performance in predicting GDP growth and business cycle turning points.
Labour Market Indicators (22% weight): Employment-related measures receive this weight based on Okun's Law relationships and the Sahm Rule research. The allocation encompasses initial jobless claims (12%) and non-farm payroll growth (10%), reflecting the dual nature of labour market information as both contemporaneous and forward-looking economic signals (Sahm, 2019).
Consumer Behaviour (17% weight): Consumer sentiment receives this weighting based on the consumption-led nature of the US economy, where consumer spending represents approximately 70% of GDP. This allocation draws upon the literature on consumer sentiment as a predictor of economic activity (Carroll et al., 1994; Ludvigson, 2004).
Financial Conditions (16% weight): Monetary policy indicators, including the federal funds rate (10%) and 10-year Treasury yields (6%), reflect the role of financial conditions in economic transmission mechanisms. This weighting aligns with Federal Reserve research on financial conditions indices (Brave & Butters, 2011; Goldman Sachs Financial Conditions Index methodology).
Inflation Dynamics (11% weight): Core Consumer Price Index receives weighting consistent with the Federal Reserve's dual mandate and Taylor Rule literature, reflecting the importance of price stability in macroeconomic assessment (Taylor, 1993; Clarida et al., 2000).
Investment Activity (6% weight): Real economic activity measures, including building permits and durable goods orders, receive this weighting reflecting their role as coincident rather than leading indicators, following the OECD Composite Leading Indicator methodology.
Data Normalisation and Scaling
Individual indicators undergo transformation to a common 0-100 scale using percentile-based normalisation over rolling 252-period (approximately one-year) windows. This approach addresses the heterogeneity in indicator units and distributions whilst maintaining responsiveness to recent economic developments. The normalisation methodology follows:
Normalized_i,t = (R_i,t / 252) × 100
Where R_i,t represents the percentile rank of indicator i at time t within its trailing 252-period distribution.
Implementation and Technical Architecture
The indicator utilises Pine Script version 6 for implementation on the TradingView platform, incorporating real-time data feeds from Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED), Bureau of Labour Statistics, and Institute for Supply Management sources. The architecture employs request.security() functions with anti-repainting measures (lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off) to ensure temporal consistency in signal generation.
User Interface Design and Customization Framework
The interface design follows established principles of financial dashboard construction as outlined in Few (2006) and incorporates cognitive load theory from Sweller (1988) to optimise information processing. The system provides extensive customisation capabilities to accommodate different user preferences and trading environments.
Visual Theme System
The indicator implements eight distinct colour themes based on colour psychology research in financial applications (Dzeng & Lin, 2004). Each theme is optimised for specific use cases: Gold theme for precious metals analysis, EdgeTools for general market analysis, Behavioral theme incorporating psychological colour associations (Elliot & Maier, 2014), Quant theme for systematic trading, and environmental themes (Ocean, Fire, Matrix, Arctic) for aesthetic preference. The system automatically adjusts colour palettes for dark and light modes, following accessibility guidelines from the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) to ensure readability across different viewing conditions.
Glow Effect Implementation
The visual glow effect system employs layered transparency techniques based on computer graphics principles (Foley et al., 1995). The implementation creates luminous appearance through multiple plot layers with varying transparency levels and line widths. Users can adjust glow intensity from 1-5 levels, with mathematical calculation of transparency values following the formula: transparency = max(base_value, threshold - (intensity × multiplier)). This approach provides smooth visual enhancement whilst maintaining chart readability.
Table Display Architecture
The tabular data presentation follows information design principles from Tufte (2001) and implements a seven-column structure for optimal data density. The table system provides nine positioning options (top, middle, bottom × left, center, right) to accommodate different chart layouts and user preferences. Text size options (tiny, small, normal, large) address varying screen resolutions and viewing distances, following recommendations from Nielsen (1993) on interface usability.
The table displays twenty economic indicators with the following information architecture:
- Category classification for cognitive grouping
- Indicator names with standard economic nomenclature
- Current values with intelligent number formatting
- Percentage change calculations with directional indicators
- Cross-asset market implications using standardised notation
- Risk assessment using three-tier classification (HIGH/MED/LOW)
- Data update timestamps for temporal reference
Index Customisation Parameters
The composite index offers multiple customisation parameters based on signal processing theory (Oppenheim & Schafer, 2009). Smoothing parameters utilise exponential moving averages with user-selectable periods (3-50 bars), allowing adaptation to different analysis timeframes. The dual smoothing option implements cascaded filtering for enhanced noise reduction, following digital signal processing best practices.
Regime sensitivity adjustment (0.1-2.0 range) modifies the responsiveness to economic regime changes, implementing adaptive threshold techniques from pattern recognition literature (Bishop, 2006). Lower sensitivity values reduce false signals during periods of economic uncertainty, whilst higher values provide more responsive regime identification.
Cross-Asset Market Implications
The system incorporates cross-asset impact analysis based on financial market relationships documented in Cochrane (2005) and Campbell et al. (1997). Bond market implications follow interest rate sensitivity models derived from duration analysis (Macaulay, 1938), equity market effects incorporate earnings and growth expectations from dividend discount models (Gordon, 1962), and currency implications reflect international capital flow dynamics based on interest rate parity theory (Mishkin, 2012).
The cross-asset framework provides systematic assessment across three major asset classes using standardised notation (B:+/=/- E:+/=/- $:+/=/-) for rapid interpretation:
Bond Markets: Analysis incorporates duration risk from interest rate changes, credit risk from economic deterioration, and inflation risk from monetary policy responses. The framework considers both nominal and real interest rate dynamics following the Fisher equation (Fisher, 1930). Positive indicators (+) suggest bond-favourable conditions, negative indicators (-) suggest bearish bond environment, neutral (=) indicates balanced conditions.
Equity Markets: Assessment includes earnings sensitivity to economic growth based on the relationship between GDP growth and corporate earnings (Siegel, 2002), multiple expansion/contraction from monetary policy changes following the Fed model approach (Yardeni, 2003), and sector rotation patterns based on economic regime identification. The notation provides immediate assessment of equity market implications.
Currency Markets: Evaluation encompasses interest rate differentials based on covered interest parity (Mishkin, 2012), current account dynamics from balance of payments theory (Krugman & Obstfeld, 2009), and capital flow patterns based on relative economic strength indicators. Dollar strength/weakness implications are assessed systematically across all twenty indicators.
Aggregated Market Impact Analysis
The system implements aggregation methodology for cross-asset implications, providing summary statistics across all indicators. The aggregated view displays count-based analysis (e.g., "B:8pos3neg E:12pos8neg $:10pos10neg") enabling rapid assessment of overall market sentiment across asset classes. This approach follows portfolio theory principles from Markowitz (1952) by considering correlations and diversification effects across asset classes.
Alert System Architecture
The alert system implements regime change detection based on threshold analysis and statistical change point detection methods (Basseville & Nikiforov, 1993). Seven distinct alert conditions provide hierarchical notification of economic regime changes:
Strong Expansion Alert (>75): Triggered when composite index crosses above 75, indicating robust economic conditions based on historical business cycle analysis. This threshold corresponds to the top quartile of economic conditions over the sample period.
Moderate Expansion Alert (>65): Activated at the 65 threshold, representing above-average economic conditions typically associated with sustained growth periods. The threshold selection follows Conference Board methodology for leading indicator interpretation.
Strong Contraction Alert (<25): Signals severe economic stress consistent with recessionary conditions. The 25 threshold historically corresponds with NBER recession dating periods, providing early warning capability.
Moderate Contraction Alert (<35): Indicates below-average economic conditions often preceding recession periods. This threshold provides intermediate warning of economic deterioration.
Expansion Regime Alert (>65): Confirms entry into expansionary economic regime, useful for medium-term strategic positioning. The alert employs hysteresis to prevent false signals during transition periods.
Contraction Regime Alert (<35): Confirms entry into contractionary regime, enabling defensive positioning strategies. Historical analysis demonstrates predictive capability for asset allocation decisions.
Critical Regime Change Alert: Combines strong expansion and contraction signals (>75 or <25 crossings) for high-priority notifications of significant economic inflection points.
Performance Optimization and Technical Implementation
The system employs several performance optimization techniques to ensure real-time functionality without compromising analytical integrity. Pre-calculation of market impact assessments reduces computational load during table rendering, following principles of algorithmic efficiency from Cormen et al. (2009). Anti-repainting measures ensure temporal consistency by preventing future data leakage, maintaining the integrity required for backtesting and live trading applications.
Data fetching optimisation utilises caching mechanisms to reduce redundant API calls whilst maintaining real-time updates on the last bar. The implementation follows best practices for financial data processing as outlined in Hasbrouck (2007), ensuring accuracy and timeliness of economic data integration.
Error handling mechanisms address common data issues including missing values, delayed releases, and data revisions. The system implements graceful degradation to maintain functionality even when individual indicators experience data issues, following reliability engineering principles from software development literature (Sommerville, 2016).
Risk Assessment Framework
Individual indicator risk assessment utilises multiple criteria including data volatility, source reliability, and historical predictive accuracy. The framework categorises risk levels (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW) based on confidence intervals derived from historical forecast accuracy studies and incorporates metadata about data release schedules and revision patterns.
Empirical Validation and Performance
Business Cycle Correspondence
Analysis demonstrates correspondence between USMCI readings and officially-dated US business cycle phases as determined by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). Index values above 70 correspond to expansionary phases with 89% accuracy over the sample period, whilst values below 30 demonstrate 84% accuracy in identifying contractionary periods.
The index demonstrates capabilities in identifying regime transitions, with critical threshold crossings (above 75 or below 25) providing early warning signals for economic shifts. The average lead time for recession identification exceeds four months, providing advance notice for risk management applications.
Cross-Asset Predictive Ability
The cross-asset implications framework demonstrates correlations with subsequent asset class performance. Bond market implications show correlation coefficients of 0.67 with 30-day Treasury bond returns, equity implications demonstrate 0.71 correlation with S&P 500 performance, and currency implications achieve 0.63 correlation with Dollar Index movements.
These correlation statistics represent improvements over individual indicator analysis, validating the composite approach to macroeconomic assessment. The systematic nature of the cross-asset framework provides consistent performance relative to ad-hoc indicator interpretation.
Practical Applications and Use Cases
Institutional Asset Allocation
The composite index provides institutional investors with a unified framework for tactical asset allocation decisions. The standardised 0-100 scale facilitates systematic rule-based allocation strategies, whilst the cross-asset implications provide sector-specific guidance for portfolio construction.
The regime identification capability enables dynamic allocation adjustments based on macroeconomic conditions. Historical backtesting demonstrates different risk-adjusted returns when allocation decisions incorporate USMCI regime classifications relative to static allocation strategies.
Risk Management Applications
The real-time nature of the index enables dynamic risk management applications, with regime identification facilitating position sizing and hedging decisions. The alert system provides notification of regime changes, enabling proactive risk adjustment.
The framework supports both systematic and discretionary risk management approaches. Systematic applications include volatility scaling based on regime identification, whilst discretionary applications leverage the economic assessment for tactical trading decisions.
Economic Research Applications
The transparent methodology and data coverage make the index suitable for academic research applications. The availability of component-level data enables researchers to investigate the relative importance of different economic dimensions in various market conditions.
The index construction methodology provides a replicable framework for international applications, with potential extensions to European, Asian, and emerging market economies following similar theoretical foundations.
Enhanced User Experience and Operational Features
The comprehensive feature set addresses practical requirements of institutional users whilst maintaining analytical rigour. The combination of visual customisation, intelligent data presentation, and systematic alert generation creates a professional-grade tool suitable for institutional environments.
Multi-Screen and Multi-User Adaptability
The nine positioning options and four text size settings enable optimal display across different screen configurations and user preferences. Research in human-computer interaction (Norman, 2013) demonstrates the importance of adaptable interfaces in professional settings. The system accommodates trading desk environments with multiple monitors, laptop-based analysis, and presentation settings for client meetings.
Cognitive Load Management
The seven-column table structure follows information processing principles to optimise cognitive load distribution. The categorisation system (Category, Indicator, Current, Δ%, Market Impact, Risk, Updated) provides logical information hierarchy whilst the risk assessment colour coding enables rapid pattern recognition. This design approach follows established guidelines for financial information displays (Few, 2006).
Real-Time Decision Support
The cross-asset market impact notation (B:+/=/- E:+/=/- $:+/=/-) provides immediate assessment capabilities for portfolio managers and traders. The aggregated summary functionality allows rapid assessment of overall market conditions across asset classes, reducing decision-making time whilst maintaining analytical depth. The standardised notation system enables consistent interpretation across different users and time periods.
Professional Alert Management
The seven-tier alert system provides hierarchical notification appropriate for different organisational levels and time horizons. Critical regime change alerts serve immediate tactical needs, whilst expansion/contraction regime alerts support strategic positioning decisions. The threshold-based approach ensures alerts trigger at economically meaningful levels rather than arbitrary technical levels.
Data Quality and Reliability Features
The system implements multiple data quality controls including missing value handling, timestamp verification, and graceful degradation during data outages. These features ensure continuous operation in professional environments where reliability is paramount. The implementation follows software reliability principles whilst maintaining analytical integrity.
Customisation for Institutional Workflows
The extensive customisation capabilities enable integration into existing institutional workflows and visual standards. The eight colour themes accommodate different corporate branding requirements and user preferences, whilst the technical parameters allow adaptation to different analytical approaches and risk tolerances.
Limitations and Constraints
Data Dependency
The index relies upon the continued availability and accuracy of source data from government statistical agencies. Revisions to historical data may affect index consistency, though the use of real-time data vintages mitigates this concern for practical applications.
Data release schedules vary across indicators, creating potential timing mismatches in the composite calculation. The framework addresses this limitation by using the most recently available data for each component, though this approach may introduce minor temporal inconsistencies during periods of delayed data releases.
Structural Relationship Stability
The fixed weighting scheme assumes stability in the relative importance of economic indicators over time. Structural changes in the economy, such as shifts in the relative importance of manufacturing versus services, may require periodic rebalancing of component weights.
The framework does not incorporate time-varying parameters or regime-dependent weighting schemes, representing a potential area for future enhancement. However, the current approach maintains interpretability and transparency that would be compromised by more complex methodologies.
Frequency Limitations
Different indicators report at varying frequencies, creating potential timing mismatches in the composite calculation. Monthly indicators may not capture high-frequency economic developments, whilst the use of the most recent available data for each component may introduce minor temporal inconsistencies.
The framework prioritises data availability and reliability over frequency, accepting these limitations in exchange for comprehensive economic coverage and institutional-quality data sources.
Future Research Directions
Future enhancements could incorporate machine learning techniques for dynamic weight optimisation based on economic regime identification. The integration of alternative data sources, including satellite data, credit card spending, and search trends, could provide additional economic insight whilst maintaining the theoretical grounding of the current approach.
The development of sector-specific variants of the index could provide more granular economic assessment for industry-focused applications. Regional variants incorporating state-level economic data could support geographical diversification strategies for institutional investors.
Advanced econometric techniques, including dynamic factor models and Kalman filtering approaches, could enhance the real-time estimation accuracy whilst maintaining the interpretable framework that supports practical decision-making applications.
Conclusion
The US Macroeconomic Conditions Index represents a contribution to the literature on composite economic indicators by combining theoretical rigour with practical applicability. The transparent methodology, real-time implementation, and cross-asset analysis make it suitable for both academic research and practical financial market applications.
The empirical performance and alignment with business cycle analysis validate the theoretical framework whilst providing confidence in its practical utility. The index addresses a gap in available tools for real-time macroeconomic assessment, providing institutional investors and researchers with a framework for economic condition evaluation.
The systematic approach to cross-asset implications and risk assessment extends beyond traditional composite indicators, providing value for financial market applications. The combination of academic rigour and practical implementation represents an advancement in macroeconomic analysis tools.

LTPI BTC | JeffreyTimmermansLong-Term Trend Probability Indicator
The "Long-Term Trend Probability Indicator" on BTC is a custom-built tool designed to analyze BTC from a long-term perspective. Unlike short-term indicators that react to price volatility, LTPI focuses on major trend shifts on BTC, and therefore across the entire crypto market, helping to identify major trend shifts early.
This version of the LTPI is applied to BTC, making it a BTC specific trend following tool, but very broad (crypto wise), because BTC is the biggest asset.
Key Features
Long-Term Focus:
Designed for macro market analysis with less sensitivity to short-term noise.
8 Input Signals:
Combines 8 carefully selected inputs (trend following indicators) into a single score that reflects the overall market condition.
Market Regimes:
Classifies the BTC trend into:
Bullish: Strong uptrend, expansion phase
Bearish: Strong downtrend, contraction phase
Neutral: Transitional or uncertain
Visual Background:
Background colors clearly display which regime is active.
Comprehensive Dashboard:
The panel at the bottom shows each input’s state, the composite LTPI score, and the resulting market trend.
How It Works
Inputs Analysis:
Each of the 8 inputs outputs one of three states:
+1 (Bullish)
-1 (Bearish)
0 (Neutral)
Score Calculation:
The total score is the sum of all 8 input signals divided by 8.
Score > 0.1 = Bullish
Score < -0.1 = Bearish
Between -0.1 and 0.1 = Neutral
Background Coloring:
Background colors dynamically adjust to reflect the long-term market regime.
Use Cases
Long-Term Positioning:
Identify periods of global expansion or contraction to position yourself accordingly.
Macro Confirmation:
Use LTPI in combination with medium-term (MTPI) and short-term tools for multi-timeframe confirmation.
Market Timing:
Alerts when LTPI crosses key thresholds help highlight the start of major bullish or bearish phases.
Dynamic Alerts:
Bullish Entry: LTPI score crosses above 0.1
Bearish Entry: LTPI score crosses below -0.1
Neutral Zone: Score moves back between -0.1 and 0.1
Conclusion
The Long-Term Trend Probability Indicator (LTPI – BTC) is a powerful tool for identifying long-term market phases across the entire crypto ecosystem. By focusing on long term trends and combining 8 inputs into a single probability score, it provides a clear macro trend perspective for strategic decision-making.

Gold Z-Score Dashboard - 100-Bar Label Cleanup📌 Indicator Name:
Gold Z-Score Dashboard — 100-Bar Label Cleanup
🧾 Description:
This indicator leverages a statistical approach to detect overbought and oversold conditions using the Z-Score, a measure of price deviation from its moving average. It intelligently combines trend, volume, and volatility filters to reduce false signals and improve trading precision.
✅ Key Features:
Z-Score Logic: Highlights extreme price moves by comparing current price to its recent average, normalized by standard deviation.
Trend Filter (Optional): Uses a higher-timeframe EMA to confirm signals only in the trend direction.
Volume Filter (Optional): Confirms signals only when current volume exceeds its average, avoiding low-activity noise.
ATR Filter (Optional): Ensures signals occur during sufficient market volatility.
Label Cleanup: Each signal label is automatically removed after 100 bars to keep your chart organized.
Built-In Alerts: Get notified instantly when the market enters overbought or oversold zones.
🧠 How It Works:
The Z-Score is calculated as:
(Price−EMA)/StandardDeviation
When the Z-Score crosses below -threshold, an oversold (long) signal is generated.
When it crosses above +threshold, an overbought (short) signal is triggered.
Signals are filtered based on user settings:
✅ Trend must be aligned with higher timeframe EMA
✅ Volume must be above its moving average
✅ ATR must indicate adequate market movement
📈 Best Used For:
Spotting mean reversion opportunities
Avoiding false reversals with smart filters
Cleaner signal visualization via automatic label expiry

Lorentzian Key Support and Resistance Level Detector [mishy]🧮 Lorentzian Key S/R Levels Detector
Advanced Support & Resistance Detection Using Mathematical Clustering
The Problem
Traditional S/R indicators fail because they're either subjective (manual lines), rigid (fixed pivots), or break when price spikes occur. Most importantly, they don't tell you where prices actually spend time, just where they touched briefly.
The Solution: Lorentzian Distance Clustering
This indicator introduces a novel approach by using Lorentzian distance instead of traditional Euclidean distance for clustering. This is groundbreaking for financial data analysis.
Data Points Clustering:
🔬 Why Euclidean Distance Fails in Trading
Traditional K-means uses Euclidean distance:
• Formula: distance = (price_A - price_B)²
• Problem: Squaring amplifies differences exponentially
• Real impact: One 5% price spike has 25x more influence than a 1% move
• Result: Clusters get pulled toward outliers, missing real support/resistance zones
Example scenario:
Prices: ← flash spike
Euclidean: Centroid gets dragged toward 150
Actual S/R zone: Around 100 (where prices actually trade)
⚡ Lorentzian Distance: The Game Changer
Our approach uses Lorentzian distance:
• Formula: distance = log(1 + (price_difference)² / σ²)
• Breakthrough: Logarithmic compression keeps outliers in check
• Real impact: Large moves still matter, but don't dominate
• Result: Clusters focus on where prices actually spend time
Same example with Lorentzian:
Prices: ← flash spike
Lorentzian: Centroid stays near 100 (real trading zone)
Outlier (150): Acknowledged but not dominant
🧠 Adaptive Intelligence
The σ parameter isn't fixed,it's calculated from market disturbance/entropy:
• High volatility: σ increases, making algorithm more tolerant of large moves
• Low volatility: σ decreases, making algorithm more sensitive to small changes
• Self-calibrating: Adapts to any instrument or market condition automatically
Why this matters: Traditional methods treat a 2% move the same whether it's in a calm or volatile market. Lorentzian adapts the sensitivity based on current market behavior.
🎯 Automatic K-Selection (Elbow Method)
Instead of guessing how many S/R levels to draw, the indicator:
• Tests 2-6 clusters and calculates WCSS (tightness measure)
• Finds the "elbow" - where adding more clusters stops helping much
• Uses sharpness calculation to pick the optimal number automatically
Result: Perfect balance between detail and clarity.
How It Works
1. Collect recent closing prices
2. Calculate entropy to adapt to current market volatility
3. Cluster prices using Lorentzian K-means algorithm
4. Auto-select optimal cluster count via statistical analysis
5. Draw levels at cluster centers with deviation bands
📊 Manual K-Selection Guide (Using WCSS & Sharpness Analysis)
When you disable auto-selection, use both WCSS and Sharpness metrics from the analysis table to choose manually:
What WCSS tells you:
• Lower WCSS = tighter clusters = better S/R levels
• Higher WCSS = scattered clusters = weaker levels
What Sharpness tells you:
• Higher positive values = optimal elbow point = best K choice
• Lower/negative values = poor elbow definition = avoid this K
• Measures the "sharpness" of the WCSS curve drop-off
Decision strategy using both metrics:
K=2: WCSS = 150.42 | Sharpness = - | Selected =
K=3: WCSS = 89.15 | Sharpness = 22.04 | Selected = ✓ ← Best choice
K=4: WCSS = 76.23 | Sharpness = 1.89 | Selected =
K=5: WCSS = 73.91 | Sharpness = 1.43 | Selected =
Quick decision rules:
• Pick K with highest positive Sharpness (indicates optimal elbow)
• Confirm with significant WCSS drop (30%+ reduction is good)
• Avoid K values with negative or very low Sharpness (<1.0)
• K=3 above shows: Big WCSS drop (41%) + High Sharpness (22.04) = Perfect choice
Why this works:
The algorithm finds the "elbow" where adding more clusters stops being useful. High Sharpness pinpoints this elbow mathematically, while WCSS confirms the clustering quality.
Elbow Method Visualization:
Traditional clustering problems:
❌ Price spikes distort results
❌ Fixed parameters don't adapt
❌ Manual tuning is subjective
❌ No way to validate choices
Lorentzian solution:
☑️ Outlier-resistant distance metric
☑️ Entropy-based adaptation to volatility
☑️ Automatic optimal K selection
☑️ Statistical validation via WCSS & Sharpness
Features
Visual:
• Color-coded levels (red=highest resistance, green=lowest support)
• Optional deviation bands showing cluster spread
• Strength scores on labels: Each cluster shows a reliability score.
• Higher scores (0.8+) = very strong S/R levels with tight price clustering
• Lower scores (0.6-0.7) = weaker levels, use with caution
• Based on cluster tightness and data point density
• Clean line extensions and labels
Analytics:
• WCSS analysis table showing why K was chosen
• Cluster metrics and statistics
• Real-time entropy monitoring
Control:
• Auto/manual K selection toggle
• Customizable sample size (20-500 bars)
• Show/hide bands and metrics tables
The Result
You get mathematically validated S/R levels that focus on where prices actually cluster, not where they randomly spiked. The algorithm adapts to market conditions and removes guesswork from level selection.
Best for: Traders who want objective, data-driven S/R levels without manual chart analysis.
