Multi Deviation Scaled Moving Average [ChartPrime]Multi Deviation Scaled Moving Average ChartPrime
⯁ OVERVIEW
The Multi Deviation Scaled Moving Average is an analysis tool that combines multiple Deviation Scaled Moving Averages (DSMAs) to provide a comprehensive view of market trends. The DSMA, originally created by John Ehlers, is a sophisticated moving average that adapts to market volatility. This indicator offers a unique approach to trend analysis by utilizing a series of DSMAs with different periods and presenting the results through a color-coded line and a visual histogram.
◆ KEY FEATURES
Multiple DSMA Calculation: Computes eight DSMAs with incrementally increasing periods for multi-faceted trend analysis.
Trend Strength Visualization: Provides a color-coded moving average line indicating trend strength and direction.
Trend Percentage Histogram: Displays a visual representation of bullish vs bearish trend percentages.
Signal Generation: Identifies potential entry and exit points based on trend strength crossovers.
Customizable Parameters: Allows users to adjust the base period and sensitivity of the indicator.
◆ USAGE
Trend Direction and Strength: The color and intensity of the main indicator line provide quick insights into the current trend.
Trend Percentage Histogram: The histogram value can give you an idea of the market trend ahead
Entry and Exit Signals: Diamond-shaped markers indicate potential trade entry and exit points based on trend strength shifts.
Trend Bias Assessment: The trend percentage histogram offers a visual representation of the overall market bias.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: By applying the indicator to different timeframes, traders can gain insights into trends across various time horizons.
⯁ USER INPUTS
Period: Sets the initial calculation period for the DSMAs (default: 30).
Sensitivity: Adjusts the step size between DSMA periods. Lower values increase sensitivity (default: 60, range: 0-100).
Source: Uses HLC3 (High, Low, Close average) as the default price source.
The Multi Deviation Scaled Moving Average indicator offers traders a sophisticated tool for trend analysis and signal generation. By combining multiple DSMAs and providing clear visual cues, it enables traders to make more informed decisions about market direction and potential entry or exit points. The indicator's customizable parameters allow for fine-tuning to suit various trading styles and market conditions.

[TTI] Jon Tr3ndy ATR Label📜 ––––HISTORY & CREDITS––––
The Jon Tr3ndy ATR Label is another creation inspired by Tr3ndy Jon (Jonathan McKeever,) and his Supply and Demand System. Building on the legacy of our premium scripts Tr3ndy Bands, Tr3ndy Edges, Tr3ndy LIS and the Tr3ndy PMZ, this script brings the power of the Average True Range (ATR) to your fingertips, but with a Tr3ndy twist.
🦄 ––––CALCULATIONS––––
The indicator uses different calculations methods to determine (Average True Range) ATR for the stock. The available calculation are:
👉 Exponential Moving Average EMA,
👉 Simple Moving Average SMA,
👉 Relative Moving Average RMA,
👉 Weighted Moving Average WMA.
The available timeframes are:
👉 Daily D
👉 Weekly W
👉 Monthly M
When you hoover with the mouse above the label, you will see what type of calculation you have chosen.
🎯 ––––WHAT IT DOES––––
The Jon Tr3ndy ATR Label is designed to dynamically calculate and display the Average True Range (ATR) of the asset directly on your chart for any of the chosen timeframes (e.g. show Weekly ATR on a Daily chart).
It can be used on equities, forex, crypto and many more. ATR is a volatility indicator that measures the degree of price volatility. This script allows users to select between daily, weekly, or monthly ATR calculations and offers a choice of four averaging methods: EMA, SMA, RMA, and WMA. The resulting ATR value is then presented as an easily readable label on your chart, ensuring you're always informed about the market's volatility.
🛠️ ––––HOW TO USE IT––––
ATR Length : Set the desired period for the ATR calculation.
Average Type : Choose your preferred averaging method from EMA, SMA, RMA, or WMA.
Day Period : Select the desired time frame for the ATR calculation: Daily (D), Weekly (W), or Monthly (M).
Label Position : Adjust the position of the ATR label on your chart using the 'Panel Position' and 'Text Size' options.
Banner : Toggle the 'Banner' option to display the ATR label as a banner on your chart.
Interpreting the ATR Label : A higher ATR value indicates greater volatility, while a lower ATR suggests less volatility. Use this information in conjunction with other indicators and analysis techniques to make informed trading decisions.
Ehlers Undersampled Double Moving Average Indicator [CC]The Undersampled Double Moving Average was created by John Ehlers (Stocks and Commodities April 2023), and this is a double moving average system which is pretty rare for John Ehlers. For those of you who would like my other take on an Ehlers double moving average, be sure to check out my previous Ehlers double moving average script . He came up with a unique idea for this indicator to create a moving average using a sample of the price data. For example, we use his suggested length of 5 only to use the price data every 5 bars. Feel free to change this, and please let me know if you find a length that works better. He then smooths the indicator using the Hann Windowed Moving Average . I color-coded the lines to show stronger signals in darker colors or standard signals in lighter colors. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there is an indicator or script you would like to see me publish!
Ehlers Stochastic Center Of Gravity [CC]The Stochastic Center Of Gravity Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Cybernetic Analysis For Stocks And Futures pgs 79-80), and this is one of the many cycle scripts that I have created but not published yet because, to be honest, I don't use cycle indicators in my everyday trading. Many of you probably do, so I will start publishing my big backlog of cycle-based indicators. These indicators work best with a trend confirmation or some other confirmation indicator to pair with it. The current cycle is the length of the trend, and since most stocks generally change their underlying trend quite often, especially during the day, it makes sense to adjust the length of this indicator to match the stock you are using it on. As you can see, the indicator gives constant buy and sell signals during a trend which is why I recommend using a confirmation indicator.
I have color-coded it to use lighter colors for normal signals and darker colors for strong signals. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other scripts you would like to see me publish!
Ehlers Detrending Filter [CC]The Detrending Filter was created by John Ehlers and this is a complementary indicator to one of my previous scripts:
This indicator builds upon his previous work by attempting to detrend the underlying source data that is used to calculate the final result. He was able to create a leading indicator by removing the trend data and by using his previous calculations to turn the source data into a leading indicator.
There are two ways to understand this indicator. First if the indicator is below the midline then it is in a mid to longterm downtrend and if it is above the midline then it is in a mid to longterm uptrend. Also this indicator shows great promise in predicting future trends so because of that aspect, it may give some false signals from time to time.
I have color coded everything to account for both strong signals and normal signals. Strong signals are darker in color and normal signals are lighter in color. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other scripts you would like to see me publish!
Ehlers Reflex Indicator [CC]The Reflex Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Stocks and Commodities Feb 2020) and this is a zero lag indicator that works similar to an overbought/oversold indicator but with the current stock cycle data. I find that this indicator works well as a leading indicator as well as a divergence indicator. Generally speaking, this indicator indicates a medium to long term downtrend when the indicator is below the line and a medium to long term uptrend when the indicator is above the line. Ehlers has created a few complementary indicators that I will release in the next few days but just keep in mind that this indicator focuses on the underlying cycle component while removing as much noise with no lag. I have color coded the lines to show strong signals with the darker colors and normal signals with the lighter colors. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other scripts you would like to see me publish!
Ehlers Data Sampling Relative Strength Indicator [CC]The Data Sampling Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Stocks and Commodities Mar 2023) and this is a genius method to reduce noise in the market data but also doesn't introduce any lag while doing so. The way this works is because traditionally, people have always relied on the close price as the default input for many indicators such as the RSI or MACD as examples. Since the open is usually virtually identical to the previous close, it has been ignored by most people but Ehlers discovered that if you do a simple average of open and close for the input on any indicator, you can remove much of the noise without any added lag. I have used the RSI as he did in his example and plotted both to show the difference between the traditional RSI and using Ehlers' process as the new Data Sampling RSI. You can clearly see that this new RSI follows the price fluctuations much closer and is much smoother than the traditional RSI. As usual, I have included different colors to show the strength of the buy or sell signals so darker colors mean it is a very strong signal and lighter colors means it is a normal signal. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Feel free to try out this method to replace the input for any indicator and let me know how this works for you! And of course let me know if you would like me to publish any indicator script.
Reverse Ehler Instantaneous Trendline - TraderHalaiThis script uses a reverse function of the famous Ehler Instantaneous Trendline to calculate the source price required in order to change from Bullish to bearish
From my analysis, the reverse price does appear to be rather choppy, though it is 100% accurate. This is because Ehler's Instantaneous Trendline tends to remain trending for longer periods of time with above average hold periods.
The main suitability for this would be higher level timeframes, such as Weekly, 5 daily, 3 daily. From my findings Smoothed Heikin Ashi Trend, tends to provide better risk-adjusted returns across most timeframes (Higher return to drawdown ratio)
As I have spent a bit of time getting the reverse function mathematics to work, I decided to publish this as open source for the benefit, scrutiny and for further development by the TradingView community anyways.
Enjoy!
Ehlers Triangle Moving Average [CC]The Triangle Moving Average is the last of custom scripts converting Ehlers Window Indicators to Moving Averages. As you can see this is actually very similar to the Hamming Moving Average and the Hann Moving Average so I would recommend to test this one out with different settings and see what works best for you. As far as the formula calculation, it is a custom weighted moving average that determines how close the price is compared to the middle of the length period and gives a custom weight to that price. For example it will assign heavier weights according to how close the price is to the beginning of the loop (which is the most recent data) and lighter weights, the further the price is away from the recent prices. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so strong signals are darker in color and normal signals are lighter in color. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.

Ehlers Leading Indicator [CC] RibbonQuoted from Cheatcountry : “The Leading Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Cybernetic Analysis For Stocks And Futures pg 235) and as the name implies, this is a leading indicator that provides super early signals. Feel free to change the alpha values to adjust to your needs. Buy when the indicator line is green and sell when it is red.”

This is a mod of Cheatcountrys script. I put it into a function and plotted several and implemented a tally of all.

Ehlers Hamming Moving Average [CC]The Hamming Moving Average is a custom script I made to attempt to create a moving average using Ehler's Hamming Window Indicator . Let me stress that this is extremely experimental considering the original indicator works by creating a sine wave by adjusting the Pedestal value. Change the Pedestal value to anything 5 or higher and you will see what I mean. I think this is a fun experiment so let me know what you think. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so strong signals are darker in color and normal signals are lighter in color. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.

Ehlers Hann Moving Average [CC]The Hann Moving Average is an original script but a slightly modified version of the Hann Window Filter created by John Ehlers. I am using the same length but changed the default data source to use the new Weighted Close that tv added after I requested it awhile ago so thank you tv! The big strength of this moving average/filter is that it creates an extremely smooth filter with the added benefit of very little lag to smooth ratio. The weakness of this moving average/filter is that it does have a decent amount of lag which means it isn't as useful during choppy periods but does work well for sustained uptrends or downtrends. Feel free to experiment and let me know what settings work better for you. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so strong signals are darker in color and normal signals are lighter in color. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.

Ehlers Median Average Adaptive Filter [CC]The Median Average Adaptive Filter was created by John Ehlers and this is another in my current series of undiscovered gems. I'm sure you are all saying but Franklin, Ehlers doesn't have any undiscovered gems but in this case you would be wrong. This was actually an indicator so buried on the internet that I had to use the wayback machine to find the original source code. Ehlers notoriously hates adaptive moving averages which is funny because he has made a decent amount of them. This is a very unique indicator that uses a while loop to adjust the length and I thought it deserved some extra recognition from the TV community. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so strong signals are darker in color and normal signals are lighter in color. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.

Ehlers Hann Relative Strength Index [CC]The Hann Relative Strength Index was created by John Ehlers (Stocks and Commodities Jan 2022 pgs 26-28) and this indicator builds upon his Hann Window Indicator to create an unique rsi indicator that doesn't rely on overbought or oversold levels to determine a reversal point and also provides a very superior smoothing without any of the lag associated with traditional smoothing. A much more useful RSI than the standard version in my honest opinion. Short term you buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red. Medium to long term you buy when the indicator rises above the 0 line and sell when it falls below the 0 line. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so strong signals are darker in color and normal signals are lighter in color.

Ehlers Elegant Oscillator [CC]The Elegant Oscillator was created by John Ehlers (Stocks and Commodities Feb 2022 pg 21) and for those of you who don't know, he introduced the indicators for the Fisher Transform and Inverse Fisher Transform and this is a new updated version to that idea based on his latest research. This uses a soft limiter which he says is superior to a hard limiter. There are several ways to interpret this indicator. First if the indicator is above the 0 line then it is a long term bullish trend and below 0 a long term bearish trend. Second this indicator can be used for reversal points with the peaks and valleys. Finally when the indicator line starts moving higher for example it is a bullish short term trend and vice versa. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so strong signals are darker in color and normal are lighter in color. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.

Multi-Timeframe TTM Squeeze Pro
IMPORTANT NOTE:
-> The timeframe for this indicator must be set at 1 minute;
-> If the chart timeframe is higher than 1 minute, the results shown in the table for timeframes lower than the chart will not be correct;
-> Tradingview's own documentation explains this as follows: " It is not recommended to request data of a timeframe lower that the current chart timeframe, for example 1 minute data from a 5 minutes chart. The main problem with such a case is that some part of a 1 minute data will be inevitably lost, as it’s impossible to display it on a 5 minutes chart and not to break the time axis. In such cases the behavior of security can be rather unexpected "; and
-> It is therefore recommended that this indicator is placed in a standalone 1min chart window, and the window resized to only show the table to avoid any issues.

-> John Carter creating the TTM Squeeze and TTM Squeeze Pro
-> Lazybear's original interpretation of the TTM Squeeze: Squeeze Momentum Indicator
-> Makit0's evolution of Lazybear's script to factor in the TTM Squeeze Pro upgrades - Squeeze PRO Arrows
This is my version of their collective works, with amendments primarily to the Squeeze Conditions to more accurately reflect the color coding used by the official TMM Squeeze Pro indicator.
TTM Squeeze Guide
For those unfamiliar with the TTM Squeeze, it is simply a visual way of seeing how Bollinger Bands (standard deviations from a simple moving average ) relate to Keltner Channels ( average true range bands) compared with the momentum of the price action. The concept is that as Bollinger Bands compress within Keltner Channels , price volatility decreases, giving way for a potential explosive price movement up or down.
Differences between the original TTM Squeeze and TTM Squeeze Pro:
-> Both use a 2 standard deviation Bollinger Band ;
-> The original squeeze only used a 1.5 ATR Keltner Channel; and
-> The pro version uses 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 ATR Keltner Channels .
The pro version therefore helps differentiate between levels of squeeze (compression) as the Bollinger Bands moves through the Keltner Channels i.e. the greater the compression, the more potential for explosive moves - less compression means more squeezing.
The Histogram shows price momentum whereas the colored dots (along the zeroline) show where the Bollinger Bands are in relation to the Keltner Channels:
-> Cyan Bars = positive, increasing momentum;
-> Blue Bars = positive, decreasing momentum (indication of a reversal in price direction);
-> Red Bars = negative, increasing momentum;
-> Yellow Bars = negative, decreasing momentum (indication of a reversal in price direction);
-> Orange Dots = High Compression / large squeeze (One or both of the Bollinger Bands is inside the 1st (1.0 ATR) Keltner Channel);
-> Red Dots = Medium Squeeze (One or both of the Bollinger Bands is inside the 2nd (1.5 ATR) Keltner Channel);
-> Black Dots = Low compression / wide squeeze (One or both of the Bollinger Bands is inside the 3rd (2.0 ATR) Keltner Channels );
-> Green Dots = No Squeeze / Squeeze Fired (One or both of the Bollinger Bands is outside of the 3rd (2.0 ATR) Keltner Channel).
Ideal Scenario:
As the ticker enters the squeeze, black dots would warn of the beginning of a low compression squeeze. As the Bollinger bands continue to constrict within the Keltner Channels , red dots would highlight a medium compression. As the price action and momentum continues to compress an orange dot shows warning of high compression. As price action leaves the squeeze, the coloring would reverse e.g. orange to red to black to green. Any compression squeeze is considered fired at the first green dot that appears.
Note: This is an ideal progression of the different types of squeezes, however any type of squeeze (and color sequence) may appear at anytime, therefore the focus is primarily on the green dots after any type of compression.
Entry and Exit Guide:
-> John Carter recommends entering a position after at least 5 black dots or wait for 1st green dot ; and
-> Exit on second blue or yellow bar or, alternatively, remain in the position after confirming a continuing trend through a separate indicator.
Standalone Indicator:

[TTI] ATR channelsHISTORY AND CREDITS
Used by John Carter in his indicator’s toolbox. The ATR channels or the Keltner Channels represent the railroads or the natural movement of stocks.
WHAT IT DOES
Movements between the the The first multiplier lines (white) represent standard movement for the timeframe you are trading. Movements between the second multiplier (green/red lines) represent a 2stdv move of the stock in a single direction. Once a stock starts reaching the 3rd multiplier lines there’s an exponential chance that it will revert to the mean (cyan line)
Additionally, we have added the Institutional lines. These are thought in a Small Account Mastery class 2019 by John Carter, as the levels heavily watched by institutions. The default settings represent what John is teaching but they can be further customised.
HOW TO USE IT
ATRs channels or Keltner Channels can be great source for target or stop losses and can be used as a indicator for confluence with other technical tools like the Fibonacci lines.
Ehlers Directional Movement Hann Window Indicator [CC]The Directional Movement Hann Window Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Stocks and Commodities Dec 2021 pgs 17-18) and this is his updated version of the classic Directional Movement indicator created by J. Welles Wilder. Ehlers uses the Hann Window Filtering after using an exponential moving average to smooth the classic directional movement indicator. This helps significantly with the lag and lack of smoothing which are both issues with the classic indicator. I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to the normal ones so strong signals are darker in color and normal signals are lighter in color. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.

Ehlers Stochastic Relative Vigor Index [CC]The Stochastic Relative Vigor Index was created by John Ehlers (Cybernetic Analysis For Stocks And Futures pgs 84-89) and this of course is very similar to the Ehlers Fisher Stochastic Relative Vigor Index I just published. In hindsight I probably should have published this one first but just like with the other script this is a stochastic version of a Relative Vigor Index and I added some smoothing to make buy and sell signals clearer. There are several ways to identify buy and sell signals but generally in the long term it is a buy signal when the indicator is below the oversold line and is moving up and in the short term when the indicator is above it's trigger line which is what I coded the buy and sell signals to follow. Buy when the line is green and sell when it turns red.

Ehlers Deviation Scaled Super Smoother [CC]The Deviation Scaled Super Smoother was created by John Ehlers and this is an excellent moving average that changes direction very quickly and can keep up with the current underlying trend. This indicator works by applying a Hann Windowed Moving Average to the stock's momentum and scaling that by the Root Mean Square and then using that value in the input for a Super Smoother . I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so lighter colors are normal signals and darker colors are strong ones. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
