[JHF] SQZMOMPRO SQZMOMPRO is a sophisticated, momentum-based technical indicator designed for traders seeking to identify potential trend reversals, momentum shifts, and periods of market consolidation (squeezes) across multiple timeframes. By combining a momentum oscillator, Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, and a Percentage Volume Oscillator (PVO), it provides a comprehensive view of price momentum and volume dynamics.
Overview
The SQZMOMPRO indicator is a powerful tool that integrates momentum analysis, volatility-based squeeze detection, and volume confirmation to help traders identify high-probability trading opportunities. It combines:
A momentum oscillator based on price deviations from a linear regression and moving average.
Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels to detect periods of low volatility (squeezes), signaling potential breakouts.
A Percentage Volume Oscillator (PVO) to confirm momentum signals with volume trends.
A Rate of Change (ROC) line to highlight the speed of momentum shifts.
Visual cues like reversal signals and confluence backgrounds for actionable insights.
This indicator is ideal for swing traders, day traders, and those analyzing trends across multiple timeframes (hourly, 4-hour, daily, weekly, monthly). It is plotted below the price chart (non-overlay) and includes customizable alerts for key conditions.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Support: Automatically adjusts parameters for hourly, 4-hour, daily, weekly, and monthly charts, ensuring optimal settings for each timeframe.
Squeeze Detection: Identifies periods of low volatility (squeezes) using Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, categorized as Wide, Normal, Narrow, or Very Narrow.
Momentum Oscillator: Tracks price momentum relative to a baseline, with a signal line to highlight trend reversals.
PVO Confluence: Optionally integrates the Percentage Volume Oscillator to confirm momentum signals with volume trends.
Rate of Change (ROC): Displays the smoothed rate of change of momentum for enhanced readability.
Visual Cues: Includes color-coded squeeze dots, momentum/signal lines, reversal markers, and optional confluence backgrounds.
Alerts: Configurable alerts for squeeze conditions, trend reversals, and volume-confirmed signals.
How It Works
1. Momentum Oscillator
The momentum oscillator is calculated as follows:
Source: Closing price.
Baseline: A combination of the midpoint of the highest high and lowest low over a specified period, adjusted by a simple moving average (SMA).
Momentum: Linear regression of the price deviation from this baseline over a timeframe-specific period (shorter for smaller timeframes to be more responsive).
Signal Line: A 5-period SMA of the momentum value, used to identify crossovers.
Interpretation:
Momentum > Signal: Bullish momentum (plotted in green by default).
Momentum < Signal: Bearish momentum (plotted in red by default).
Crossovers: Momentum crossing above the signal line suggests a bullish reversal; crossing below suggests a bearish reversal.
2. Squeeze Detection
Squeezes occur when volatility contracts, often preceding significant price moves. The indicator compares:
Bollinger Bands: Calculated using an SMA and 2 standard deviations of the closing price.
Keltner Channels: Calculated using an SMA and multiples of the Average True Range (ATR) for different squeeze thresholds (Wide, Normal, Narrow, Very Narrow). This method steers away from the likes of classical SQZPRO which only uses an approximation of the Average True Range and heavily affects the squeeze sensitivity due to the way they calculate their Keltner Channel (our Keltner Channel are true to the way they are supposed to be calculated).
Squeeze Conditions:
Wide Squeeze: Bollinger Bands are inside Keltner Channels with a high ATR multiplier.
Normal Squeeze: Bollinger Bands are inside Keltner Channels with a moderate ATR multiplier.
Narrow Squeeze: Bollinger Bands are inside Keltner Channels with a low ATR multiplier.
Very Narrow Squeeze: Bollinger Bands are inside Keltner Channels with a very low ATR.
No Squeeze: Bollinger Bands are outside Keltner Channels, indicating higher volatility.
Depending on the timeframe, each squeeze level has been manually tweaked to gain an edge, whether you're scalping, in swings or in Leaps.
Visuals: Squeeze conditions are plotted as colored dots on the zero line:
Green: No Squeeze
Black: Wide Squeeze
Red: Normal Squeeze
Yellow: Narrow Squeeze
Purple: Very Narrow Squeeze
3. Percentage Volume Oscillator (PVO)
The PVO measures volume momentum, similar to the MACD but applied to volume through a 14 and 28 ema with volume as the srouce.
Interpretation:
PVO > 0: Increasing volume momentum (bullish).
PVO < 0: Decreasing volume momentum (bearish).
When enabled (Show PVO Confluence), the indicator highlights periods where momentum and PVO align (e.g., bullish momentum with PVO > 0).
4. Rate of Change (ROC)
Formula: Smoothed difference between momentum and signal line, multiplied by a user-defined factor (ROC Multiplier).
Purpose: Enhances readability of momentum shifts, plotted as a blue (positive) or orange (negative) line when enabled.
5. Reversal Signals
Bullish Reversal: Momentum crosses above the signal line, optionally confirmed by PVO > 0. Marked with a green vertical line.
Bearish Reversal: Momentum crosses below the signal line, optionally confirmed by PVO < 0. Marked with a red vertical line.
6. Confluence Background
When Show PVO Confluence is enabled, the background is colored to highlight alignment:
Bullish Confluence: Momentum > Signal and PVO > 0 (green background, darker if ROC is positive).
Bearish Confluence: Momentum < Signal and PVO < 0 (red background, darker if ROC is negative).

Trading Applications
Squeeze Breakouts:
A transition from a Very Narrow or Narrow Squeeze to No Squeeze often signals a breakout. Combine with momentum crossovers for confirmation.
Example: Enter a long position when a Narrow Squeeze (yellow dots) turns to No Squeeze (green dots) and momentum crosses above the signal line.
Trend Reversals:
Bullish reversal (green line) with PVO > 0 confirms strong buying volume, increasing the likelihood of a sustained uptrend.
Bearish reversal (red line) with PVO < 0 suggests strong selling pressure.
Confluence Trading:
Use confluence backgrounds to trade only when momentum and volume align, reducing false signals.
Example: A bullish confluence (green background) with positive ROC indicates a high-probability long setup.
Divergences:
Look for divergences between price and momentum or PVO. For instance, a higher low in momentum/PVO with a lower low in price suggests a bullish reversal.
Trend Confirmation:
Use the momentum oscillator and ROC to confirm price trends. A rising momentum and positive ROC validate an uptrend.

PulseWave + DivergenceOverview
PulseWave + Divergence is a momentum oscillator designed to optimize the classic RSI. Unlike traditional RSI, which can produce delayed or noisy signals, PulseWave offers a smoother and faster oscillator line that better responds to changes in market dynamics. By using a formula based on the difference between RSI and its moving average, the indicator generates fewer false signals, making it a suitable tool for day traders and swing traders in stock, forex, and cryptocurrency markets.
How It Works
Generating the Oscillator Line
The PulseWave oscillator line is calculated as follows:
RSI is calculated based on the selected data source (default: close price) and RSI length (default: 20 periods).
RSI is smoothed using a simple moving average (MA) with a selected length (default: 20 periods).
The oscillator value is the difference between the current RSI and its moving average: oscillator = RSI - MA(RSI).
This approach ensures high responsiveness to short-term momentum changes while reducing market noise. Unlike other oscillators, such as standard RSI or MACD, which rely on direct price values or more complex formulas, PulseWave focuses on the dynamics of the difference between RSI and its moving average. This allows it to better capture short-term trend changes while minimizing the impact of random price fluctuations. The oscillator line fluctuates around zero, making it easy to identify bullish trends (positive values) and bearish trends (negative values).
Divergences
The indicator optionally detects bullish and bearish divergences by comparing price extremes (swing highs/lows) with oscillator extremes within a defined pivot window (default: 5 candles left and right). Divergences are marked with "Bull" (bullish) and "Bear" (bearish) labels on the oscillator chart.
Signals
Depending on the selected signal type, PulseWave generates buy and sell signals based on:
Crosses of the overbought and oversold levels.
Crosses of the oscillator’s zero line.
A combination of both (option "Both").
Signals are displayed as triangles above or below the oscillator, making them easy to identify.
Input Parameters
RSI Length: Length of the RSI used in calculations (default: 20).
RSI MA Length: Length of the RSI moving average (default: 20).
Overbought/Oversold Level: Oscillator overbought and oversold levels (default: 12.0 and -12.0).
Pivot Length: Number of candles used to detect extremes for divergences (default: 5).
Signal Type: Type of signals to display ("Overbought/Oversold", "Zero Line", "Both", or "None").
Colors and Gradients: Full customization of line, gradient, and label colors.
How to Use
Adjust Parameters:
Increase RSI Length (e.g., to 30) for high-volatility markets to reduce noise.
Decrease Pivot Length (e.g., to 3) for faster divergence detection on short timeframes.
Interpret Signals:
Buy Signal: The oscillator crosses above the oversold level or zero line, especially with a bullish divergence.
Sell Signal: The oscillator crosses below the overbought level or zero line, especially with a bearish divergence.
Combine with Other Tools:
Use PulseWave alongside moving averages or support/resistance levels to confirm signals.
Monitor Divergences:
"Bull" and "Bear" labels indicate potential trend reversals. Set up alerts to receive notifications for divergences.
Z Score Overlay [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
A clean and effective Z-score overlay that visually tracks how far price deviates from its moving average. By standardizing price movements, this tool helps traders understand when price is statistically extended or compressed—up to ±4 standard deviations. The built-in scale and real-time bin markers offer immediate context on where price stands in relation to its recent mean.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Z Score Calculation:
Z = (Close − SMA) ÷ Standard Deviation
This formula shows how many standard deviations the current price is from its mean.
Statistical Extremes:
• Z > +2 or Z < −2 suggests statistically significant deviation.
• Z near 0 implies price is close to its average.
Standardization of Price Behavior: Makes it easier to compare volatility and overextension across timeframes and assets.
🔵 FEATURES
Colored Z Line: Gradient coloring based on how far price deviates—
• Red = oversold (−4),
• Green = overbought (+4),
• Yellow = neutral (~0).
Deviation Scale Bar: A vertical scale from −4 to +4 standard deviations plotted to the right of price.
Active Z Score Bin: Highlights the current Z-score bin with a “◀” arrow
Context Labels: Clear numeric labels for each Z-level from −4 to +4 along the side.
Live Value Display: Shows exact Z-score on the active level.
Non-intrusive Overlay: Can be applied directly to price chart without changing scaling behavior.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Identify overbought/oversold areas based on +2 / −2 thresholds.
Spot potential mean reversion trades when Z returns from extreme levels.
Confirm strong trends when price remains consistently outside ±2.
Use in multi-timeframe setups to compare strength across contexts.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Z Score Overlay transforms raw price action into a normalized statistical view, allowing traders to easily assess deviation strength and mean-reversion potential. The intuitive scale and color-coded display make it ideal for traders seeking objective, volatility-aware entries and exits.
VtosVTOS is mainly used as a Volatility Oscillator. Suited for all markets and timeframes.
To describe it simply, it shows the buy and sell pressure by looking at the amplitude in relation to the threshold lines. The higher the amplitude the stronger the movement is. Make buy or sell decisions on the strength of the market.
Look for divergence as it is a great indication that strength is being lost.
The script uses my own code, based on my own idea. While the exact methodology remains confidential. What i can share is that VTOS includes angles and some ema based calculations. Other than using my own baseline idea for the code. It represents the data in a way that makes this oscillator like no other. That is the main reason i needed to create my own indicator. There is no other like it.
The Threshold lines scale with the strength of the movement, making the the oscillator adapt to volatile or slow market situations. Making VTOS effective across both trending and consolidating environments.
The Tanker, Tug and Slow trend line need to be interpreted in reverse. Above the mid line the trend is down, Below the mid line the trend is up.
Daily Trading Barometer (DTB) with DJIA OverlayThe "Daily Trading Barometer (DTB) with DJIA Overlay" is a custom technical indicator designed to identify intermediate-term overbought and oversold conditions in the stock market, inspired by Edson Gould's original DTB methodology. This indicator combines three key components:
A 7-day advance-decline oscillator, a 20-day volume oscillator, and a 28-day DJIA price ratio, normalized into a composite index scaled around 110–135. Values below 110 signal potential oversold conditions, while values above 135 indicate overbought territory, aiding in timing market reversals.
The overlay of a normalized DJIA plot allows for visual correlation with the broader market trend. Use this tool to anticipate turning points in oscillating markets, though it’s best combined with other indicators for confirmation. Ideal for traders seeking probabilistic insights into bear or bull market transitions.
How to use -
If the DTB line (blue) and normalized DJIA (orange) are under the green dashed line, high probability for a long and reversal.
Use with the symbol SPX/QQQ

Adaptive RSI (ARSI)# Adaptive RSI (ARSI) - Dynamic Momentum Oscillator
Adaptive RSI is an advanced momentum oscillator that dynamically adjusts its calculation period based on real-time market volatility and cycle analysis. Unlike traditional RSI that uses fixed periods, ARSI continuously adapts to market conditions, providing more accurate overbought/oversold signals and reducing false signals during varying market phases.
## How It Works
At its core, ARSI calculates an adaptive period ranging from 8 to 28 bars using two key components: volatility measurement through Average True Range (ATR) and cycle detection via price momentum analysis. The logic is straightforward:
- **High volatility periods** trigger shorter calculation periods for enhanced responsiveness to rapid price movements
- **Low volatility periods** extend the calculation window for smoother, more reliable signals
- **Market factor** combines volatility and cycle analysis to determine optimal RSI period in real-time
When RSI crosses above 70, the market enters overbought territory. When it falls below 30, oversold conditions emerge. The indicator also features extreme levels at 80/20 for stronger reversal signals and midline crossovers at 50 for trend confirmation.
The adaptive mechanism ensures the oscillator remains sensitive during critical market movements while filtering out noise during consolidation phases, making it superior to static RSI implementations across different market conditions.
## Features
- **True Adaptive Calculation**: Dynamic period adjustment from 8-28 bars based on market volatility
- **Multiple Signal Types**: Overbought/oversold, extreme reversals, and midline crossovers
- **Configurable Parameters**: RSI length, adaptive sensitivity, ATR period, min/max bounds
- **Smart Smoothing**: Adjustable EMA smoothing from 1-21 periods to reduce noise
- **Visual Clarity**: Gradient colors, area fills, and signal dots for immediate trend recognition
- **Real-time Information**: Live data table showing current RSI, adaptive period, and market factor
- **Flexible Source Input**: Apply to any price source (close, hl2, ohlc4, etc.)
- **Professional Alerts**: Six built-in alert conditions for automated trading systems
## Signal Generation
ARSI generates multiple signal types for comprehensive market analysis:
**Primary Signals**: RSI crosses above 70 (overbought) or below 30 (oversold) - most reliable entry/exit points
**Extreme Signals**: RSI reaches 80+ (extreme overbought) or 20- (extreme oversold) - potential reversal zones
**Trend Signals**: RSI crosses above/below 50 midline - confirms directional momentum
**Reversal Signals**: Price action contradicts extreme RSI levels - early turning point detection
The adaptive period changes provide additional confirmation - signals accompanied by significant period shifts often carry higher probability of success.
## Visual Implementation
The indicator employs sophisticated visual elements for instant market comprehension:
- **Gradient RSI Line**: Color intensity reflects both value and momentum direction
- **Dynamic Zones**: Overbought/oversold areas with customizable fill colors
- **Signal Markers**: Triangular indicators mark key reversal and continuation points
- **Information Panel**: Real-time display of RSI value, adaptive period, market factor, and signal status
- **Background Coloring**: Subtle fills indicate current market state without chart clutter

- **ARSI Oversold** - RSI crosses below oversold level
- **ARSI Bullish Cross** - RSI crosses above 50 midline
- **ARSI Bearish Cross** - RSI crosses below 50 midline
- **ARSI Extreme Bull** - Potential bullish reversal from extreme oversold
- **ARSI Extreme Bear** - Potential bearish reversal from extreme overbought
## Use Cases
**Trend Following**: Adaptive periods naturally adjust during trend acceleration and consolidation phases
**Mean Reversion**: Enhanced overbought/oversold signals with volatility-based confirmation
**Breakout Trading**: Extreme level breaches often precede significant directional moves
**Risk Management**: Multiple signal types allow for layered entry/exit strategies
**Multi-Timeframe Analysis**: Works effectively across various timeframes and asset classes
## Trading Applications
**Swing Trading**: Excels during trend transitions with adaptive sensitivity to changing conditions
**Day Trading**: Enhanced responsiveness during volatile sessions while filtering consolidation noise
**Position Trading**: Longer smoothing periods provide stable signals for broader market analysis
**Scalping**: Minimal smoothing with high sensitivity captures short-term momentum shifts
The indicator performs well across stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies, though parameter optimization may be required for specific market characteristics.

Description
The Ticker Pulse Meter Basic is a dynamic Pine Script v6 indicator designed to provide traders with a visual representation of a stock’s price position relative to its short-term and long-term ranges, enabling clear entry and exit signals for long-only trading strategies. By calculating three normalized metrics—Percent Above Long & Above Short, Percent Above Long & Below Short, and Percent Below Long & Below Short—this indicator offers a unique "pulse" of market sentiment, plotted as stacked area charts in a separate pane. With customizable lookback periods, thresholds, and signal plotting options, it empowers traders to identify optimal entry points and profit-taking levels. The indicator leverages Pine Script’s force_overlay feature to plot signals on either the main price chart or the indicator pane, making it versatile for various trading styles.
Key Features
Pulse Meter Metrics:
Computes three percentages based on short-term (default: 50 bars) and long-term (default: 200 bars) lookback periods:
Percent Above Long & Above Short: Measures price strength when above both short and long ranges (green area).
Percent Above Long & Below Short: Indicates mixed momentum (orange area).
Percent Below Long & Below Short: Signals weakness when below both ranges (red area).
Flexible Signal Plotting:
Toggle between plotting entry (blue dots) and exit (white dots) signals on the main price chart (location.abovebar/belowbar) or in the indicator pane (location.top/bottom) using the Plot Signals on Main Chart option.
Entry/Exit Logic:
Long Entry: Triggered when Percent Above Long & Above Short crosses above the high threshold (default: 20%) and Percent Below Long & Below Short is below the low threshold (default: 40%).
Long Exit: Triggered when Percent Above Long & Above Short crosses above the profit-taking level (default: 95%).
Visual Enhancements:
Plots stacked area charts with semi-transparent colors (green, orange, red) for intuitive trend analysis.
Displays threshold lines for entry (high/low) and profit-taking levels.
Includes a ticker and timeframe table in the top-right corner for quick reference.
Alert Conditions: Supports alerts for long entry and exit signals, integrable with TradingView’s alert system for automated trading.
Technical Innovation: Combines normalized price metrics with Pine Script v6’s force_overlay for seamless signal integration on the price chart or indicator pane.
Technical Details
Calculation Logic:
Uses confirmed bars (barstate.isconfirmed) to calculate metrics, ensuring reliability.
Short-term percentage: (close - lowest(low, lookback_short)) / (highest(high, lookback_short) - lowest(low, lookback_short)).
Long-term percentage: (close - lowest(low, lookback_long)) / (highest(high, lookback_long) - lowest(low, lookback_long)).
Derived metrics:
pct_above_long_above_short = (pct_above_long * pct_above_short) * 100.
pct_above_long_below_short = (pct_above_long * (1 - pct_above_short)) * 100.
pct_below_long_below_short = ((1 - pct_above_long) * (1 - pct_above_short)) * 100.
Signal Plotting:
Entry signals (long_entry) use ta.crossover to detect when pct_above_long_above_short crosses above entryThresholdhigh and pct_below_long_below_short is below entryThresholdlow.
Exit signals (long_exit) use ta.crossover for pct_above_long_above_short crossing above profitTake.
Signals are plotted as tiny circles with force_overlay=true for main chart or standard plotting for the indicator pane.
Performance Considerations: Optimized for efficiency by calculating metrics only on confirmed bars and using lightweight plotting functions.

VWVI - Volume Weighted Volatility Index# 📊 Complete VWVI Indicator User Guide (Current Version)
## 🔍 **I. Core Principles**
### **VWVI's Unique Value**
VWVI isn't a simple volatility indicator, but a **volume-confirmed volatility strength indicator**:
- **Problems with traditional volatility indicators**: ATR, Bollinger Bands, etc. only look at price movements while ignoring volume
- **VWVI advantage**: Only fluctuations accompanied by high volume are considered "true volatility"
- **Core logic**: Fluctuations driven by large capital are more important than retail noise
---
## 🎨 **II. Detailed Explanation of Current Version Visual Elements**
### **1. Main Line Color System (Most Important Signal)**
```
🟢 Green main line (VWVI > 60):
├─ Meaning: High volatility + high volume = true trend
├─ Market state: One-way market, breakout market, trend acceleration
├─ Trading opportunity: Trend following, momentum trading
└─ Duration: Typically lasts several cycles
🟠 Orange main line (40 ≤ VWVI ≤ 60):
├─ Meaning: Medium volatility or mismatched volume
├─ Market state: Transition phase, direction pending
├─ Trading strategy: Wait-and-see, await clear signals
└─ Note: High probability of false breakouts
🔴 Red main line (VWVI < 40):
├─ Meaning: Low volatility + low volume = consolidation
├─ Market state: Sideways, range-bound, shrinking volume
├─ Trading opportunity: Range trading, mean reversion
└─ Feature: Price oscillates between support/resistance
```

RSI Games 1.2he "RSI Games 1.2" indicator enhances the standard RSI by adding several layers of analysis:
Standard RSI Calculation: It calculates the RSI based on a configurable length (default 14 periods) and a user-selected source (default close price).
RSI Bands: It plots horizontal lines at 70 (red, overbought), 50 (yellow, neutral), and 30 (green, oversold) to easily identify extreme RSI levels.
RSI Smoothing with Moving Averages (MAs) and Bollinger Bands (BBs):
You can apply various types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA) to smooth the RSI line.
If you choose "SMA + Bollinger Bands," the indicator will also plot Bollinger Bands around the smoothed RSI, providing dynamic overbought/oversold levels based on volatility.
The RSI line itself changes color based on whether it's above (green) or below (red) its smoothing MA.
It also fills the area between the RSI and its smoothing MA, coloring it green when RSI is above and red when below.
Bollinger Band Signals: When Bollinger Bands are enabled, the indicator marks "Buy" signals (green arrow up) when the RSI crosses above the lower Bollinger Band and "Sell" signals (red arrow down) when it crosses below the upper Bollinger Band.
Background Coloring: The background of the indicator pane changes to light green when RSI is below 30 (oversold) and light red when RSI is above 70 (overbought), visually highlighting extreme conditions.
Divergence Detection: This is a key feature. The indicator automatically identifies and labels:
Regular Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, but RSI makes a higher low. This often signals a potential reversal to the upside.
Regular Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, but RSI makes a lower high. This often signals a potential reversal to the downside.
Hidden Bullish Divergence: Price makes a higher low, but RSI makes a lower low. This can indicate a continuation of an uptrend.
Hidden Bearish Divergence: Price makes a lower high, but RSI makes a higher high. This can indicate a continuation of a downtrend.
Divergences are visually marked with labels and can trigger alerts.
Bitcoin Macro Oscillator | [DeV]The Bitcoin Macro Oscillator (BMO) is a sophisticated fundamental indicator designed to provide a comprehensive view of Bitcoin’s market conditions by combining four key on-chain metrics: the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio, Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) Ratio, Cumulative Value-Days Destroyed (CVDD) Ratio, and Sharpe Ratio. These metrics are individually z-scored and weighted according to user-defined preferences, then averaged to produce a single oscillating value, the BMO Z-score. This helps users identify whether Bitcoin is in a bullish (above zero) or bearish (below zero) phase, offering insights into potential market tops, bottoms, and overall trend strength. Inspired and reverse engineered from the BMO of Woonomics, this indicator is enhanced with a customizable moving average.
Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio
The MVRV Ratio compares Bitcoin’s current market capitalization (price multiplied by circulating supply) to its realized capitalization (the value of all coins at the price they were last moved on the blockchain). Calculated as MVRV = Market Cap / Realized Cap, it is then z-scored over a user-defined lookback period (default 120 days). This metric tracks whether Bitcoin is overvalued (high MVRV, suggesting a market top) or undervalued (low MVRV, indicating a potential bottom), providing a gauge of investor profitability and market sentiment.
Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) Ratio
The VWAP Ratio measures Bitcoin’s current price against its volume-weighted average price, which is computed by summing the product of price and volume over a lookback period (default 120 days) and dividing by total volume, with a fallback to the current price if volume is zero. The ratio is z-scored to standardize it. This tracks the relationship between price and the average price paid with volume consideration, helping identify overbought or oversold conditions—high values may signal tops, while low values suggest bottoms.
Cumulative Value-Days Destroyed (CVDD) Ratio
The CVDD Ratio is based on the CVDD metric, which estimates the total value of Bitcoin that has been “destroyed” (spent at a loss) over time, approximated here using a longer-term simple moving average (SMA) of the price over twice the lookback period. The ratio is calculated as the current price divided by this CVDD price, then z-scored. It tracks the accumulation of value destruction, with low values indicating bearish exhaustion and high values suggesting bullish momentum.
Sharpe Ratio
The Sharpe Ratio assesses Bitcoin’s risk-adjusted return by comparing the average return (calculated as the natural log of the price change) to its volatility (standard deviation of returns) over a user-defined Sharpe lookback period (default 180 days). If volatility is zero, it defaults to zero to avoid errors. This z-scored value tracks whether Bitcoin’s price movements offer a favorable return for the risk taken—positive values indicate good risk-adjusted performance, while negative values suggest caution.
Together, the MVRV, VWAP, CVDD, and Sharpe Ratio metrics provide a multi-faceted view of Bitcoin’s market health, with each contributing unique insights into valuation, volume, value destruction, and risk-adjusted performance. Their weighted combination into the BMO Z-score balances these inputs to offer a unified signal, enhanced by a customizable moving average (default 90-period EMA) that smooths the Z-score for trend confirmation—rising when bullish, falling when bearish. Credit to Woonomics for inspiring this robust framework, which adapts their BMO concept into a flexible, user-tailored tool.
Gap Open DetectorIndicator Note: Gap Open Detector
What This Indicator Does
This indicator helps you spot significant price gaps at the start of new candles compared to the previous candle’s close. A gap means the current candle’s opening price is noticeably higher or lower than the previous candle’s closing price.
Gap Up: The new candle opens above the previous candle’s close.
Gap Down: The new candle opens below the previous candle’s close.
The indicator highlights these gaps with colored candles:
Green Candle: Gap Up detected.
Red Candle: Gap Down detected.
How to Use the Indicator:
This indicator gives Best Results on Hourly Candles:
This indicator works best on hourly charts (1-hour time frame). It is especially useful for spotting gaps at the start of the next day or after a significant break in trading.
Wait for Confirmation:
After a gap is detected at the open, wait for the candle to form. Ideally, wait for one hour (until the hourly candle is complete) to confirm the candle’s direction and strength before taking any action.
Customize Gap Size:
You can set the minimum gap size using either points or percentage:
Points: Enter the minimum number of points for a gap to be considered significant.
Percentage: Enter the minimum percentage change for a gap to be considered significant.
This flexibility allows you to adjust the indicator to suit different markets and volatility levels.
Trading Logic
If there is a Gap Up and the one hour candle is green:
Buy Option: Consider initiating a buy (long) position.
If there is a Gap Up but the one hour candle is red:
Sell Option: Consider initiating a sell (short) position.
If there is a Gap Down and the one hour closing candle is red:
Sell Option: Consider initiating a sell (short) position.
If there is a Gap Down but the one hour candle is green:
Buy Option: Consider initiating a buy (long) position.
Important Tips
1. Patience Pays: Always wait for the hourly candle to close before making any trading decisions based on the gap.
2. Next Day Open: This strategy is especially effective for catching gaps at the start of a new trading day or after a market break.
3. Visual Cues: The indicator gives you a simple visual cue to spot potential trading opportunities.
4. Flexible Settings: Set your preferred gap size in points or percentage to match your trading style.
Trend Gauge [BullByte]Trend Gauge
Summary
A multi-factor trend detection indicator that aggregates EMA alignment, VWMA momentum scaling, volume spikes, ATR breakout strength, higher-timeframe confirmation, ADX-based regime filtering, and RSI pivot-divergence penalty into one normalized trend score. It also provides a confidence meter, a Δ Score momentum histogram, divergence highlights, and a compact, scalable dashboard for at-a-glance status.
________________________________________
## 1. Purpose of the Indicator
Why this was built
Traders often monitor several indicators in parallel - EMAs, volume signals, volatility breakouts, higher-timeframe trends, ADX readings, divergence alerts, etc., which can be cumbersome and sometimes contradictory. The “Trend Gauge” indicator was created to consolidate these complementary checks into a single, normalized score that reflects the prevailing market bias (bullish, bearish, or neutral) and its strength. By combining multiple inputs with an adaptive regime filter, scaling contributions by magnitude, and penalizing weakening signals (divergence), this tool aims to reduce noise, highlight genuine trend opportunities, and warn when momentum fades.
Key Design Goals
Signal Aggregation
Merged trend-following signals (EMA crossover, ATR breakout, higher-timeframe confirmation) and momentum signals (VWMA thrust, volume spikes) into a unified score that reflects directional bias more holistically.
Market Regime Awareness
Implemented an ADX-style filter to distinguish between trending and ranging markets, reducing the influence of trend signals during sideways phases to avoid false breakouts.
Magnitude-Based Scaling
Replaced binary contributions with scaled inputs: VWMA thrust and ATR breakout are weighted relative to recent averages, allowing for more nuanced score adjustments based on signal strength.
Momentum Divergence Penalty
Integrated pivot-based RSI divergence detection to slightly reduce the overall score when early signs of momentum weakening are detected, improving risk-awareness in entries.
Confidence Transparency
Added a live confidence metric that shows what percentage of enabled sub-indicators currently agree with the overall bias, making the scoring system more interpretable.
Momentum Acceleration Visualization
Plotted the change in score (Δ Score) as a histogram bar-to-bar, highlighting whether momentum is increasing, flattening, or reversing, aiding in more timely decision-making.
Compact Informational Dashboard
Presented a clean, scalable dashboard that displays each component’s status, the final score, confidence %, detected regime (Trending/Ranging), and a labeled strength gauge for quick visual assessment.
________________________________________
## 2. Why a Trader Should Use It
Main benefits and use cases
1. Unified View: Rather than juggling multiple windows or panels, this indicator delivers a single score synthesizing diverse signals.
2. Regime Filtering: In ranging markets, trend signals often generate false entries. The ADX-based regime filter automatically down-weights trend-following components, helping you avoid chasing false breakouts.
3. Nuanced Momentum & Volatility: VWMA and ATR breakout contributions are normalized by recent averages, so strong moves register strongly while smaller fluctuations are de-emphasized.
4. Early Warning of Weakening: Pivot-based RSI divergence is detected and used to slightly reduce the score when price/momentum diverges, giving a cautionary signal before a full reversal.
5. Confidence Meter: See at a glance how many sub-indicators align with the aggregated bias (e.g., “80% confidence” means 4 out of 5 components agree ). This transparency avoids black-box decisions.
6. Trend Acceleration/Deceleration View: The Δ Score histogram visualizes whether the aggregated score is rising (accelerating trend) or falling (momentum fading), supplementing the main oscillator.
7. Compact Dashboard: A corner table lists each check’s status (“Bull”, “Bear”, “Flat” or “Disabled”), plus overall Score, Confidence %, Regime, Trend Strength label, and a gauge bar. Users can scale text size (Normal, Small, Tiny) without removing elements, so the full picture remains visible even in compact layouts.
8. Customizable & Transparent: All components can be enabled/disabled and parameterized (lengths, thresholds, weights). The full Pine code is open and well-commented, letting users inspect or adapt the logic.
9. Alert-ready: Built-in alert conditions fire when the score crosses weak thresholds to bullish/bearish or returns to neutral, enabling timely notifications.
________________________________________
## 3. Component Rationale (“Why These Specific Indicators?”)
Each sub-component was chosen because it adds complementary information about trend or momentum:
1. EMA Cross
o Basic trend measure: compares a faster EMA vs. a slower EMA. Quickly reflects trend shifts but by itself can whipsaw in sideways markets.
2. VWMA Momentum
o Volume-weighted moving average change indicates momentum with volume context. By normalizing (dividing by a recent average absolute change), we capture the strength of momentum relative to recent history. This scaling prevents tiny moves from dominating and highlights genuinely strong momentum.
3. Volume Spikes
o Sudden jumps in volume combined with price movement often accompany stronger moves or reversals. A binary detection (+1 for bullish spike, -1 for bearish spike) flags high-conviction bars.
4. ATR Breakout
o Detects price breaking beyond recent highs/lows by a multiple of ATR. Measures breakout strength by how far beyond the threshold price moves relative to ATR, capped to avoid extreme outliers. This gives a volatility-contextual trend signal.
5. Higher-Timeframe EMA Alignment
o Confirms whether the shorter-term trend aligns with a higher timeframe trend. Uses request.security with lookahead_off to avoid future data. When multiple timeframes agree, confidence in direction increases.
6. ADX Regime Filter (Manual Calculation)
o Computes directional movement (+DM/–DM), smoothes via RMA, computes DI+ and DI–, then a DX and ADX-like value. If ADX ≥ threshold, market is “Trending” and trend components carry full weight; if ADX < threshold, “Ranging” mode applies a configurable weight multiplier (e.g., 0.5) to trend-based contributions, reducing false signals in sideways conditions. Volume spikes remain binary (optional behavior; can be adjusted if desired).
7. RSI Pivot-Divergence Penalty
o Uses ta.pivothigh / ta.pivotlow with a lookback to detect pivot highs/lows on price and corresponding RSI values. When price makes a higher high but RSI makes a lower high (bearish divergence), or price makes a lower low but RSI makes a higher low (bullish divergence), a divergence signal is set. Rather than flipping the trend outright, the indicator subtracts (or adds) a small penalty (configurable) from the aggregated score if it would weaken the current bias. This subtle adjustment warns of weakening momentum without overreacting to noise.
8. Confidence Meter
o Counts how many enabled components currently agree in direction with the aggregated score (i.e., component sign × score sign > 0). Displays this as a percentage. A high percentage indicates strong corroboration; a low percentage warns of mixed signals.
9. Δ Score Momentum View
o Plots the bar-to-bar change in the aggregated score (delta_score = score - score ) as a histogram. When positive, bars are drawn in green above zero; when negative, bars are drawn in red below zero. This reveals acceleration (rising Δ) or deceleration (falling Δ), supplementing the main oscillator.
10. Dashboard
• A table in the indicator pane’s top-right with 11 rows:
1. EMA Cross status
2. VWMA Momentum status
3. Volume Spike status
4. ATR Breakout status
5. Higher-Timeframe Trend status
6. Score (numeric)
7. Confidence %
8. Regime (“Trending” or “Ranging”)
9. Trend Strength label (e.g., “Weak Bullish Trend”, “Strong Bearish Trend”)
10. Gauge bar visually representing score magnitude
• All rows always present; size_opt (Normal, Small, Tiny) only changes text size via text_size, not which elements appear. This ensures full transparency.
________________________________________
## 4. What Makes This Indicator Stand Out
• Regime-Weighted Multi-Factor Score: Trend and momentum signals are adaptively weighted by market regime (trending vs. ranging) , reducing false signals.
• Magnitude Scaling: VWMA and ATR breakout contributions are normalized by recent average momentum or ATR, giving finer gradation compared to simple ±1.
• Integrated Divergence Penalty: Divergence directly adjusts the aggregated score rather than appearing as a separate subplot; this influences alerts and trend labeling in real time.
• Confidence Meter: Shows the percentage of sub-signals in agreement, providing transparency and preventing blind trust in a single metric.
• Δ Score Histogram Momentum View: A histogram highlights acceleration or deceleration of the aggregated trend score, helping detect shifts early.
• Flexible Dashboard: Always-visible component statuses and summary metrics in one place; text size scaling keeps the full picture available in cramped layouts.
• Lookahead-Safe HTF Confirmation: Uses lookahead_off so no future data is accessed from higher timeframes, avoiding repaint bias.
• Repaint Transparency: Divergence detection uses pivot functions that inherently confirm only after lookback bars; description documents this lag so users understand how and when divergence labels appear.
• Open-Source & Educational: Full, well-commented Pine v6 code is provided; users can learn from its structure: manual ADX computation, conditional plotting with series = show ? value : na, efficient use of table.new in barstate.islast, and grouped inputs with tooltips.
• Compliance-Conscious: All plots have descriptive titles; inputs use clear names; no unnamed generic “Plot” entries; manual ADX uses RMA; all request.security calls use lookahead_off. Code comments mention repaint behavior and limitations.

## 5. Recommended Timeframes & Tuning
• Any Timeframe: The indicator works on small (e.g., 1m) to large (daily, weekly) timeframes. However:
o On very low timeframes (<1m or tick charts), noise may produce frequent whipsaws. Consider increasing smoothing lengths, disabling certain components (e.g., volume spike if volume data noisy), or using a larger pivot lookback for divergence.
o On higher timeframes (daily, weekly), consider longer lookbacks for ATR breakout or divergence, and set Higher-Timeframe trend appropriately (e.g., 4H HTF when on 5 Min chart).
• Defaults & Experimentation: Default input values are chosen to be balanced for many liquid markets. Users should test with replay or historical analysis on their symbol/timeframe and adjust:
o ADX threshold (e.g., 20–30) based on instrument volatility.
o VWMA and ATR scaling lengths to match average volatility cycles.
o Pivot lookback for divergence: shorter for faster markets, longer for slower ones.
• Combining with Other Analysis: Use in conjunction with price action, support/resistance, candlestick patterns, order flow, or other tools as desired. The aggregated score and alerts can guide attention but should not be the sole decision-factor.

## 6. How Scoring and Logic Works (Step-by-Step)
1. Compute Sub-Scores
o EMA Cross: Evaluate fast EMA > slow EMA ? +1 : fast EMA < slow EMA ? -1 : 0.
o VWMA Momentum: Calculate vwma = ta.vwma(close, length), then vwma_mom = vwma - vwma . Normalize: divide by recent average absolute momentum (e.g., ta.sma(abs(vwma_mom), lookback)), clip to .
o Volume Spike: Compute vol_SMA = ta.sma(volume, len). If volume > vol_SMA * multiplier AND price moved up ≥ threshold%, assign +1; if moved down ≥ threshold%, assign -1; else 0.
o ATR Breakout: Determine recent high/low over lookback. If close > high + ATR*mult, compute distance = close - (high + ATR*mult), normalize by ATR, cap at a configured maximum. Assign positive contribution. Similarly for bearish breakout below low.
o Higher-Timeframe Trend: Use request.security(..., lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off) to fetch HTF EMAs; assign +1 or -1 based on alignment.
2. ADX Regime Weighting
o Compute manual ADX: directional movements (+DM, –DM), smoothed via RMA, DI+ and DI–, then DX and ADX via RMA. If ADX ≥ threshold, market is considered “Trending”; otherwise “Ranging.”
o If trending, trend-based contributions (EMA, VWMA, ATR, HTF) use full weight = 1.0. If ranging, use weight = ranging_weight (e.g., 0.5) to down-weight them. Volume spike stays binary ±1 (optional to change if desired).
3. Aggregate Raw Score
o Sum weighted contributions of all enabled components. Count the number of enabled components; if zero, default count = 1 to avoid division by zero.
4. Divergence Penalty
o Detect pivot highs/lows on price and corresponding RSI values, using a lookback. When price and RSI diverge (bearish or bullish divergence), check if current raw score is in the opposing direction:
If bearish divergence (price higher high, RSI lower high) and raw score currently positive, subtract a penalty (e.g., 0.5).
If bullish divergence (price lower low, RSI higher low) and raw score currently negative, add a penalty.
o This reduces score magnitude to reflect weakening momentum, without flipping the trend outright.
5. Normalize and Smooth
o Normalized score = (raw_score / number_of_enabled_components) * 100. This yields a roughly range.
o Optional EMA smoothing of this normalized score to reduce noise.
6. Interpretation
o Sign: >0 = net bullish bias; <0 = net bearish bias; near zero = neutral.
o Magnitude Zones: Compare |score| to thresholds (Weak, Medium, Strong) to label trend strength (e.g., “Weak Bullish Trend”, “Medium Bearish Trend”, “Strong Bullish Trend”).
o Δ Score Histogram: The histogram bars from zero show change from previous bar’s score; positive bars indicate acceleration, negative bars indicate deceleration.
o Confidence: Percentage of sub-indicators aligned with the score’s sign.
o Regime: Indicates whether trend-based signals are fully weighted or down-weighted.

## 7. Oscillator Plot & Visualization: How to Read It
Main Score Line & Area
The oscillator plots the aggregated score as a line, with colored fill: green above zero for bullish area, red below zero for bearish area. Horizontal reference lines at ±Weak, ±Medium, and ±Strong thresholds mark zones: crossing above +Weak suggests beginning of bullish bias, above +Medium for moderate strength, above +Strong for strong trend; similarly for bearish below negative thresholds.
Δ Score Histogram
If enabled, a histogram shows score - score . When positive, bars appear in green above zero, indicating accelerating bullish momentum; when negative, bars appear in red below zero, indicating decelerating or reversing momentum. The height of each bar reflects the magnitude of change in the aggregated score from the prior bar.
Divergence Highlight Fill
If enabled, when a pivot-based divergence is confirmed:
• Bullish Divergence : fill the area below zero down to –Weak threshold in green, signaling potential reversal from bearish to bullish.
• Bearish Divergence : fill the area above zero up to +Weak threshold in red, signaling potential reversal from bullish to bearish.
These fills appear with a lag equal to pivot lookback (the number of bars needed to confirm the pivot). They do not repaint after confirmation, but users must understand this lag.
Trend Direction Label
When score crosses above or below the Weak threshold, a small label appears near the score line reading “Bullish” or “Bearish.” If the score returns within ±Weak, the label “Neutral” appears. This helps quickly identify shifts at the moment they occur.
Dashboard Panel
In the indicator pane’s top-right, a table shows:
1. EMA Cross status: “Bull”, “Bear”, “Flat”, or “Disabled”
2. VWMA Momentum status: similarly
3. Volume Spike status: “Bull”, “Bear”, “No”, or “Disabled”
4. ATR Breakout status: “Bull”, “Bear”, “No”, or “Disabled”
5. Higher-Timeframe Trend status: “Bull”, “Bear”, “Flat”, or “Disabled”
6. Score: numeric value (rounded)
7. Confidence: e.g., “80%” (colored: green for high, amber for medium, red for low)
8. Regime: “Trending” or “Ranging” (colored accordingly)
9. Trend Strength: textual label based on magnitude (e.g., “Medium Bullish Trend”)
10. Gauge: a bar of blocks representing |score|/100
All rows remain visible at all times; changing Dashboard Size only scales text size (Normal, Small, Tiny).
________________________________________
## 8. Example Usage (Illustrative Scenario)
Example: BTCUSD 5 Min
1. Setup: Add “Trend Gauge ” to your BTCUSD 5 Min chart. Defaults: EMAs (8/21), VWMA 14 with lookback 3, volume spike settings, ATR breakout 14/5, HTF = 5m (or adjust to 4H if preferred), ADX threshold 25, ranging weight 0.5, divergence RSI length 14 pivot lookback 5, penalty 0.5, smoothing length 3, thresholds Weak=20, Medium=50, Strong=80. Dashboard Size = Small.
2. Trend Onset: At some point, price breaks above recent high by ATR multiple, volume spikes upward, faster EMA crosses above slower EMA, HTF EMA also bullish, and ADX (manual) ≥ threshold → aggregated score rises above +20 (Weak threshold) into +Medium zone. Dashboard shows “Bull” for EMA, VWMA, Vol Spike, ATR, HTF; Score ~+60–+70; Confidence ~100%; Regime “Trending”; Trend Strength “Medium Bullish Trend”; Gauge ~6–7 blocks. Δ Score histogram bars are green and rising, indicating accelerating bullish momentum. Trader notes the alignment.
3. Divergence Warning: Later, price makes a slightly higher high but RSI fails to confirm (lower RSI high). Pivot lookback completes; the indicator highlights a bearish divergence fill above zero and subtracts a small penalty from the score, causing score to stall or retrace slightly. Dashboard still bullish but score dips toward +Weak. This warns the trader to tighten stops or take partial profits.
4. Trend Weakens: Score eventually crosses below +Weak back into neutral; a “Neutral” label appears, and a “Neutral Trend” alert fires if enabled. Trader exits or avoids new long entries. If score subsequently crosses below –Weak, a “Bearish” label and alert occur.
5. Customization: If the trader finds VWMA noise too frequent on this instrument, they may disable VWMA or increase lookback. If ATR breakouts are too rare, adjust ATR length or multiplier. If ADX threshold seems off, tune threshold. All these adjustments are explained in Inputs section.
6. Visualization: The screenshot shows the main score oscillator with colored areas, reference lines at ±20/50/80, Δ Score histogram bars below/above zero, divergence fill highlighting potential reversal, and the dashboard table in the top-right.

## 10. Limitations, Repaint Notes, and Disclaimers
10.1. Repaint & Lag Considerations
• Pivot-Based Divergence Lag: The divergence detection uses ta.pivothigh / ta.pivotlow with a specified lookback. By design, a pivot is only confirmed after the lookback number of bars. As a result:
o Divergence labels or fills appear with a delay equal to the pivot lookback.
o Once the pivot is confirmed and the divergence is detected, the fill/label does not repaint thereafter, but you must understand and accept this lag.
o Users should not treat divergence highlights as predictive signals without additional confirmation, because they appear after the pivot has fully formed.
• Higher-Timeframe EMA Alignment: Uses request.security(..., lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off), so no future data from the higher timeframe is used. This avoids lookahead bias and ensures signals are based only on completed higher-timeframe bars.
• No Future Data: All calculations are designed to avoid using future information. For example, manual ADX uses RMA on past data; security calls use lookahead_off.
10.2. Market & Noise Considerations
• In very choppy or low-liquidity markets, some components (e.g., volume spikes or VWMA momentum) may be noisy. Users can disable or adjust those components’ parameters.
• On extremely low timeframes, noise may dominate; consider smoothing lengths or disabling certain features.
• On very high timeframes, pivots and breakouts occur less frequently; adjust lookbacks accordingly to avoid sparse signals.
10.3. Not a Standalone Trading System
• This is an indicator, not a complete trading strategy. It provides signals and context but does not manage entries, exits, position sizing, or risk management.
• Users must combine it with their own analysis, money management, and confirmations (e.g., price patterns, support/resistance, fundamental context).
• No guarantees: past behavior does not guarantee future performance.
10.4. Disclaimers
• Educational Purposes Only: The script is provided as-is for educational and informational purposes. It does not constitute financial, investment, or trading advice.
• Use at Your Own Risk: Trading involves risk of loss. Users should thoroughly test and use proper risk management.
• No Guarantees: The author is not responsible for trading outcomes based on this indicator.

Gorgo's Hybrid Oscillator STrategy**Indicator Name:** Gorgo's Hybrid Oscillator STrategy (G.H.O.S.T.)
**Purpose:**
The Gorgo's Hybrid Oscillator STrategy (G.H.O.S.T.) is a multi-component technical analysis tool designed to identify overbought and oversold market conditions, assess trend strength, and signal potential buy and sell opportunities. By combining elements from RSI, Ultimate Oscillator, Stochastic CCI, and ADX, this custom indicator provides a comprehensive view of momentum, trend intensity, and volume context to enhance decision-making.
---
**Components and Logic:**
1. **RSI (Relative Strength Index):**
* Calculated using a customizable period (default: 14) and based on the hlc3 price source.
* Measures recent price changes to evaluate overbought/oversold conditions.
* Incorporated in the final oscillator average.
2. **Ultimate Oscillator:**
* Combines three timeframes (7, 14, 28 by default) to smooth out price movements.
* Uses true range and buying pressure for multi-frame momentum analysis.
* Averaged together with RSI to create the main oscillator signal.
3. **Stochastic CCI:**
* Applies a stochastic process to the Commodity Channel Index (CCI).
* Smooths the %K and %D lines (default: 3 each) to detect subtle reversals.
* Generates oversold (<35) and overbought (>69) signals, plotted as yellow circles.
4. **ADX + DI (Average Directional Index):**
* Determines trend strength using ADX and directional movement indicators (DI).
* ADX threshold is set at 24 by default to filter weak trends.
* Colored histogram columns:
* Green: Strong bullish trend.
* Red: Strong bearish trend.
* Gray: Weak/no trend.
5. **Volume Analysis:**
* Calculates a 9-period SMA of volume.
* Detects significant volume spikes (2.7× the average by default) to validate breakouts or fakeouts.
6. **Oscillator Output ("osc") and Levels:**
* The main plotted oscillator line is the average of the RSI and Ultimate Oscillator.
* Important horizontal lines:
* Overbought (69.0)
* Oversold (35.0)
* Midline (52.0): Neutral reference point.
* ADX threshold line (24.0)
---
**Signals:**
1. **Buy Signal Conditions:**
* Close is less than or equal to open (candle is red).
* Oscillator is decreasing and below oversold level.
* Stochastic CCI is below midline.
* Volume is above average, or excessive volume with oscillator falling below 40.
* ADX confirms trend presence (either above 15 or meeting threshold).
2. **Sell Signal Conditions:**
* ADX increasing and confirming trend.
* Oscillator is increasing and above overbought level.
* Stochastic CCI is above midline.
* Volume is above average, or very high with oscillator above 60.
3. **Visual Feedback:**
* Yellow dots highlight oversold/overbought Stochastic CCI.
* Oscillator line in cyan.
* Background colors:
* Light red for buy signals.
* White for sell signals.
4. **Alerts:**
* Built-in `alertcondition()` calls allow automated alerts for buy and sell events.
---
**Usage Guide:**
* **Best Use Cases:** Trend-following and reversal strategies on any timeframe.
* **Avoid Using Alone:** Use G.H.O.S.T. in conjunction with price action, support/resistance, and other confluence tools.
* **Customization:** All thresholds, periods, and volumes are user-editable from the settings panel.
---
**Interpretation Summary:**
G.H.O.S.T. excels at filtering out noise by combining different oscillators and volume signals to offer contextually valid entries and exits. A bullish (buy) signal typically suggests a market under pressure but potentially bottoming out, while a bearish (sell) signal highlights likely exhaustion after a strong upward push.
This hybrid approach makes the G.H.O.S.T. a reliable ally in volatile or choppy conditions where single-indicator strategies might fail.
Volumetric Expansion/Contraction### Indicator Title: Volumetric Expansion/Contraction
### Summary
The Volumetric Expansion/Contraction (PCC) indicator is a comprehensive momentum oscillator designed to identify high-conviction price moves. Unlike traditional oscillators that only look at price, the PCC integrates four critical dimensions of market activity: **Price Change**, **Relative Volume (RVOL)**, **Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)**, and **Average True Range (ATR)**.
Its primary purpose is to help traders distinguish between meaningful, volume-backed market expansions and noisy, unsustainable price action. It gives more weight to moves that occur in a controlled, low-volatility environment, highlighting potential starts of new trends or significant shifts in market sentiment.
### Key Concepts & Purpose
The indicator's unique formula synthesizes the following concepts:
1. **Price Change:** Measures the magnitude and direction of the primary move.
2. **Relative Volume (RVOL):** Confirms that the move is backed by significant volume compared to its recent average, indicating institutional participation.
3. **Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD):** Measures the underlying buying and selling pressure, confirming that the price move is aligned with the net flow of market orders.
4. **Inverse Volatility (ATR):** This is the indicator's unique twist. It normalizes the signal by the inverse of the Average True Range. This means the indicator's value is **amplified** when volatility (ATR) is low (signifying a controlled, confident expansion) and **dampened** when volatility is high (filtering out chaotic, less predictable moves).
The goal is to provide a single, easy-to-read oscillator that signals when price, volume, and order flow are all in alignment, especially during a breakout from a period of contraction.
### Features
* **Main Oscillator Line:** A single line plotted in a separate pane that represents the calculated strength of the volumetric expansion or contraction.
* **Zero Line:** A dotted reference line to easily distinguish between bullish (above zero) and bearish (below zero) regimes.
* **Visual Threshold Zones:** The background automatically changes color to highlight periods of significant strength:
* **Bright Green:** Indicates a "Strong Up Move" when the oscillator crosses above the user-defined upper threshold.
* **Bright Fuchsia:** Indicates a "Strong Down Move" when the oscillator crosses below the user-defined lower threshold.
### Configurable Settings & Filters
The indicator is fully customizable to allow for extensive testing and adaptation to different assets and timeframes.
#### Main Calculation Inputs
* **Price Change Lookback:** Sets the period for calculating the primary price change.
* **CVD Normalization Length:** The lookback period for normalizing the Cumulative Volume Delta.
* **RVOL Avg Volume Length:** The lookback for the simple moving average of volume, used to calculate RVOL.
* **RVOL Normalization Length:** The lookback period for normalizing the RVOL score.
* **ATR Length & Normalization Length:** Sets the periods for calculating the ATR and its longer-term average for normalization.
#### Weights
* Fine-tune the impact of each core component on the final calculation, allowing you to emphasize what matters most to your strategy (e.g., give more weight to CVD or RVOL).
#### External Market Filter (Powerful Feature)
* **Enable SPY/QQQ Filter for Up Moves?:** A checkbox to activate a powerful regime filter.
* **Symbol:** A dropdown to choose whether to filter signals based on the trend of **SPY** or **QQQ**.
* **SMA Period:** Sets the lookback period for the Simple Moving Average (default is 50).
* **How it works:** When enabled, this filter will **only allow "Strong Up Move" signals to appear if the chosen symbol (SPY or QQQ) is currently trading above its specified SMA**. This is an excellent tool for aligning your signals with the broader market trend and avoiding bullish entries in a bearish market.
#### Visuals
* **Upper/Lower Threshold:** Allows you to define what level the oscillator must cross to trigger the colored background zones, letting you customize the indicator's sensitivity.

Rolling Z-Score Trend [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Rolling Z-Score Trend measures how far the current price deviates from its rolling mean in terms of standard deviations. It transforms price data into standardized scores to identify overbought and oversold conditions while tracking momentum shifts.
The indicator displays a Z-Score line showing price deviation from statistical norms, with background momentum columns showing the rate of change in these deviations. This helps traders and investors identify mean reversion opportunities and momentum shifts across different asset classes and timeframes.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator uses the Z-Score formula: Z = (X - μ) / σ, where X is the current closing price, μ is the rolling mean, and σ is the rolling standard deviation over a user-defined lookback period. This creates a dynamic baseline that adapts to changing market conditions and standardizes price movements for interpretation across different assets and volatility conditions. The raw Z-Score undergoes 3-period EMA smoothing to reduce noise while maintaining responsiveness to market signals.
Beyond the basic Z-Score calculation, the indicator measures the rate of change in Z-Score values between successive bars, displayed as background momentum columns. This momentum component shows acceleration and deceleration of statistical deviations. All calculations are processed through confirmation filters, displaying signals only on confirmed bars to reduce premature signals based on incomplete price action.
🟢 How to Use

Adaptive Momentum Deviation Oscillator | QuantMACAdaptive Momentum Deviation Oscillator | QuantMAC 📊
Overview 🎯
The Adaptive Momentum Deviation Oscillator (AMDO) is an advanced technical analysis indicator that combines the power of Bollinger Bands with adaptive momentum calculations to identify optimal entry and exit points in financial markets. This sophisticated oscillator creates dynamic bands that adapt to market volatility while providing clear visual signals for both trending and ranging market conditions.
How It Works 🔧
Core Methodology
The AMDO employs a sophisticated multi-layered approach to market analysis through four distinct phases:
Bollinger Band Foundation : The indicator begins by establishing a volatility baseline using traditional Bollinger Bands. These bands are calculated using a simple moving average as the center line, with upper and lower bands positioned at a specific number of standard deviations away from this centerline. The distance between these bands expands and contracts based on market volatility, creating a dynamic envelope around price action.
BB% Normalization Process : The raw price data is then transformed into a normalized percentage format that represents where the current price sits within the Bollinger Band envelope. When price is at the lower band, this percentage reads 0%; at the upper band, it reads 100%. This normalization allows for consistent comparison across different timeframes and price levels, creating a standardized oscillator that oscillates between extreme values.
Adaptive Momentum Band Construction : The normalized BB% values undergo a secondary volatility analysis where their own standard deviation is calculated over a specified period. This creates "bands around the bands" - upper and lower boundaries that adapt to the volatility of the normalized price position itself. These adaptive bands expand during periods of high momentum volatility and contract during consolidation phases.
Intelligent Signal Synthesis : The final layer combines the adaptive momentum bands with user-defined threshold levels to create a sophisticated trigger system. The indicator monitors when the dynamic bands cross above or below these thresholds, filtering out noise while capturing significant momentum shifts. This creates a dual-confirmation system where both volatility adaptation and threshold breaches must align for signal generation.
Key Components 🛠️
Adaptive Momentum Bands 📈
Dynamic Volatility Response : These bands automatically widen during periods of high momentum volatility and narrow during consolidation phases. Unlike fixed oscillator boundaries, they continuously recalibrate based on recent price behavior within the Bollinger Band framework.
Dual-Layer Calculation : The bands are derived from the volatility of the normalized price position itself, creating a "volatility of volatility" measurement. This provides early warning signals when momentum characteristics are changing, even before price breakouts occur.
State-Aware Visualization : The bands employ intelligent color coding that transitions between active and neutral states based on their interaction with threshold levels. Active states indicate high-probability momentum conditions, while neutral states suggest consolidation or indecision.
Momentum Persistence Tracking : The bands maintain memory of recent momentum characteristics, allowing them to distinguish between genuine momentum shifts and temporary price spikes or dips.
Threshold Levels 🎚️
Statistical Significance Boundaries : The threshold levels (default 83 for long, 40 for short) are positioned to capture statistically significant momentum events while filtering out market noise. These levels represent points where momentum probability shifts meaningfully in favor of directional moves.
Asymmetric Design Philosophy : The intentional asymmetry between long and short thresholds (83 vs 40) reflects the natural upward bias of many financial markets and the different risk/reward profiles of long versus short positions.
Contextual Sensitivity : The thresholds work in conjunction with the adaptive bands to create context-sensitive triggers. A threshold breach is only meaningful when it occurs in the proper sequence with band interactions.
Risk-Adjusted Positioning : The threshold levels are calibrated to provide favorable risk-adjusted entry points, considering both the probability of success and the potential magnitude of subsequent moves.
Bollinger Bands Overlay 📊
Multi-Timeframe Context : The price chart overlay provides essential context by showing traditional Bollinger Bands alongside the oscillator. This dual perspective allows traders to see both the absolute price position and the momentum characteristics simultaneously.
Support/Resistance Identification : The filled band area creates a visual representation of dynamic support and resistance levels. Price interaction with these bands provides additional confirmation for oscillator signals.
Volatility Environment Assessment : The width and slope of the bands offer immediate visual feedback about the current volatility environment, helping traders adjust their expectations and risk management accordingly.
Confluence Analysis : The overlay enables traders to identify confluence between price action at Bollinger Band levels and oscillator signals, creating higher-probability trade setups.
Signal Generation ⚡
The AMDO generates signals through precise mathematical crossover events:
Long Signals 🟢
Momentum Accumulation Detection : Long signals are generated when the lower adaptive momentum band crosses above the 83 threshold, indicating that downside momentum has exhausted and bullish momentum is beginning to accumulate. This represents a shift from defensive to offensive market posture.
Statistical Edge Confirmation : The crossing event occurs only when momentum characteristics have shifted sufficiently to provide a statistical edge for long positions. The adaptive nature ensures the signal quality remains consistent across different market volatility regimes.
Visual State Synchronization : Upon signal generation, the entire indicator ecosystem shifts to a bullish state - bar colors change, band states update, and the visual hierarchy emphasizes the long bias until conditions change.
Momentum Persistence Validation : The signal incorporates momentum persistence analysis to distinguish between genuine trend starts and false breakouts, reducing whipsaw trades in choppy market conditions.
Short Signals 🔴
Momentum Exhaustion Recognition : Short signals trigger when the upper adaptive momentum band crosses below the 40 threshold, signaling that bullish momentum has peaked and bearish momentum is emerging. This asymmetric threshold reflects the different dynamics of bullish versus bearish market phases.
Volatility-Adjusted Timing : The adaptive band system ensures that short signals are generated with appropriate timing regardless of the underlying volatility environment, maintaining signal quality in both high and low volatility conditions.
Regime-Aware Activation : Short signals are only active in Long/Short trading mode, recognizing that not all trading strategies benefit from short positions. The indicator adapts its behavior based on the selected trading approach.
Risk-Calibrated Thresholds : The 40 threshold is specifically calibrated to capture meaningful bearish momentum shifts while accounting for the higher risk typically associated with short positions.
Cash Signals 💰
Defensive Positioning Logic : In Long/Cash mode, cash signals are generated when short conditions are met, allowing traders to move to a defensive cash position rather than taking on short exposure. This preserves capital during unfavorable market conditions.
Risk Mitigation Strategy : Cash signals represent a risk-off approach that removes market exposure when momentum conditions favor the short side, protecting long-biased portfolios from adverse market movements.
Opportunity Cost Optimization : The cash position allows traders to avoid negative returns while maintaining flexibility to re-enter long positions when momentum conditions improve, optimizing the risk-adjusted return profile.
