LiquidEdge Original1️⃣ Why Most Traders Miss Key Market Turning Points
Most traders (you) struggle to identify true market pivots THE REAL TOP and BOTTOMS where reversals begin.
❌ You enter too early or too late because price alone doesn’t give enough confirmation
❌ You follow price blindly, unaware of the volume pressure building underneath
❌ You get caught in sideways markets, not realizing they’re often accumulation or distribution zones
❌ You can’t tell if momentum is building or fading, which leads to low confidence and inconsistent results
👉 LiquidEdge helps solve this by tracking volume momentum through a modified MFI slope and scoring system. It highlights potential pivots with real context, so you can see where smart money might be entering or exiting before price makes it obvious.
2️⃣ What LiquidEdge Actually Does and How
LiquidEdge helps solve common trading problems by adding structure and clarity to volume analysis.
✅ It builds on the classic Money Flow Index (MFI), but instead of just showing overbought/oversold levels, it calculates the slope of MFI to track real-time changes in volume momentum
✅ Each setup is scored based on a combination of factors: divergence strength, trend alignment using EMA, and whether the signal occurs inside a liquidity zone
✅ Hidden accumulation or distribution is revealed when volume pressure increases or fades while price remains flat or moves slightly, a sign of smart money positioning
✅ Divergences are only flagged when they occur near pivot zones and align with overall trend conditions, helping reduce false signals
✅ Potential pivots are identified when multiple factors overlap such as a liquidity zone breach, volume slope shift, and valid divergence which often signals entry or exit points for institutional players
👉 The result is a structured interpretation of price and volume flow, helping traders read momentum shifts and potential reversals more clearly in both trending and ranging markets.
3️⃣ What Makes LiquidEdge Different
LiquidEdge is built on top of the classic Money Flow Index (MFI), but adds structure that transforms it from a basic momentum tool into a decision-support system.
Instead of simply showing highs and lows, it scores each potential setup based on:
✅ The steepness and direction of the MFI slope (used to measure volume pressure)
✅ Whether the setup aligns with the broader trend using an EMA filter (default: 200 EMA)
✅ Whether the signal appears inside predefined liquidity zones (MFI above 80 or below 20)
👉 This scoring system reduces noise and helps you focus only on high-probability setups.
👉 It also checks volume pressure across multiple timeframes using MFI slope on 5M, 15M, 1H, 4H, and Daily charts. This reveals whether short-term moves are backed by longer-term volume momentum.
Color changes in the line and histogram are not decorative they reflect real shifts in volume pressure. Every visual cue is linked to live market logic.
What Makes It Stand Out
👉 Setup Scoring That Makes Sense
Each setup is scored by combining:
Signal strength (MFI slope intensity and stability)
Trend direction (via customizable EMA)
Liquidity zone relevance (MFI range filtering)
This structured scoring means you spend less time second-guessing and more time reading clean signals.
👉 Flow That Follows Real Momentum
The slope of the MFI tracks whether volume pressure is rising or falling:
🟢 Green = increasing inflow (buying pressure)
🔴 Red = increasing outflow (selling pressure)
👉 Multi-Timeframe Volume Context
LiquidEdge calculates flow direction independently on each major timeframe. You’ll know if short-term setups are confirmed by higher timeframe volume or going against it.
👉 Smart Divergence Filtering
Unlike simple divergence tools that compare price highs/lows directly, LiquidEdge filters divergences based on:
Local pivot zones (defined by lookback periods)
Trend confirmation (to eliminate countertrend noise)
4️⃣ How LiquidEdge Works (Under the Hood)
LiquidEdge tracks directional momentum using the slope of the Money Flow Index (MFI) giving you a real-time read on buying and selling pressure.
When the slope rises, it means buyers are stepping in and volume is supporting the move.
When it falls, sellers are taking control and volume outflow is increasing.
This slope acts like a pressure gauge for the market, helping you spot when a trend has strength or when it's starting to fade.
💡 Quick Comparison
RSI = momentum from price
MFI = momentum from price + volume
LiquidEdge takes it one step further by calculating the rate of change (slope) in MFI. That’s where the pressure signal comes from not just value, but directional flow.
Core Calculations (Simplified)
Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) ÷ 3
Raw Money Flow = Typical Price × Volume
MFI = 100 −
MFI ranges from 0 to 100.
High = strong buying volume
Low = growing selling pressure
LiquidEdge then calculates the slope of this MFI over time to track volume momentum dynamically.
Divergence Engine
LiquidEdge detects divergence by comparing price pivots with the direction of MFI slope.
❌ If price makes a higher high but MFI slope turns down, it’s a bearish divergence
✅ If price makes a lower low but MFI slope rises, it’s a bullish divergence
Divergences are only confirmed when they occur:
Near local pivot zones (defined by configurable lookback windows)
And, optionally, in alignment with the broader trend using an EMA filter
This filtering helps reduce false positives and keeps you focused on clean setups.
Structured Confidence Scoring
Each signal is visually scored based on:
➡️ Whether a valid divergence is detected
➡️ Whether the signal occurs inside a liquidity zone (MFI > 80 or < 20)
➡️ Whether the setup aligns with the overall trend direction (EMA filter)
More confluence = higher confidence
The scoring system helps prioritize setups that meet multiple criteria, not just one.
Liquidity Zones
Above 80: Signals possible buying exhaustion 👉 risk of reversal
Below 20: Indicates potential selling exhaustion 👉 watch for a bounce
Zones are shaded directly on the chart to highlight pressure extremes in real time.
Price + Volume Fusion
LiquidEdge blends price action with volume pressure using MFI slope and histogram behavior. It doesn’t just show you where price is moving. it shows whether the move is backed by real volume.
This lets you see:
Whether volume is confirming or fading behind a move
If a reversal is building even before price confirms it
Visual Feedback That Speaks Clearly
🟢 Green slope = increasing buying pressure
🔴 Red slope = increasing selling pressure
5️⃣ When Price Is Flat but LiquidEdge Moves: Volume Tells the Truth
One of the most useful things LiquidEdge can do is reveal pressure shifts when price looks neutral.
If price is moving sideways but the MFI slope or histogram rises, it may suggest that buying pressure is quietly increasing possibly pointing to early accumulation.
If price stays flat while the volume slope or histogram drops, this could indicate distribution, where sellers are exiting without moving the market noticeably.
These changes don’t guarantee a breakout or breakdown, but they often precede key moves especially when combined with other confluences like trend alignment or liquidity zones.
👉 LiquidEdge helps spot these setups by measuring volume momentum shifts beneath price action.
It doesn’t predict the future, but it gives you additional context to evaluate what may be developing before it’s visible on price alone.
6️⃣ Multi-Timeframe Flow Table
LiquidEdge includes a real-time table that tracks volume pressure across multiple timeframes including 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily charts.
Each row reflects the direction of the MFI slope on that timeframe, indicating whether volume pressure is increasing (inflow) or decreasing (outflow).
🟢 A rising slope suggests that buying momentum is building
🔴 A falling slope suggests selling pressure may be increasing
👉 This lets traders quickly assess whether short-term setups are aligned with higher timeframe volume trends a useful layer of confirmation for both intraday and swing strategies.
Rather than flipping between charts, the table gives you a snapshot of flow strength across the board, helping you stay focused on opportunities that align with broader market pressure.
7️⃣ Timeframes & Assets
Where LiquidEdge Works Best:
✅ Crypto: Supports major coins and high-volume altcoins (BTC, ETH, Top 100)
✅ Stocks: Effective on large-cap and mid-cap equities with consistent volume
✅ Futures: Tested on instruments like NQ, MNQ, ES, and MES
✅ Any liquid market where volume data is reliable and stable
For best results, use LiquidEdge on assets with consistent trading volume. It’s not recommended for ultra-low volume crypto pairs or micro-cap stocks, where irregular volume can distort signals.
Recommended Timeframes:
👉 Intraday trading: Works well on 3-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, and 1-hour charts
👉 Swing trading: Performs reliably on 4-hour, daily, and weekly charts
👉 Ultra short-term (1-minute or less): Not recommended due to high noise and low reliability
LiquidEdge adapts to various trading styles from scalping short-term momentum shifts to analyzing broader volume trends across swing and positional setups. The key is choosing assets and timeframes with reliable volume flow for the tool to work effectively.
8️⃣ Common Mistakes to Avoid When Using LiquidEdge
❌ Using It in Isolation
LiquidEdge offers valuable context, but it’s not designed to function as a standalone trading system. Always combine it with key tools such as trendlines, support/resistance zones, chart structure, or fundamental data. The more supporting evidence you have, the stronger your analysis becomes.
❌ Relying on a Single Indicator
No indicator, including LiquidEdge, can account for every market condition. It’s important to use it alongside other forms of confirmation to avoid making decisions based on limited data.
❌ Misinterpreting Divergences as Reversals
A divergence between price and volume pressure doesn't always signal the end of a trend. If the broader direction remains strong (based on EMAs or higher timeframe volume flow), a divergence could reflect temporary consolidation rather than reversal.
❌ Ignoring Trend Alignment and Confidence Scoring
LiquidEdge includes confidence scoring to help validate signals. Disregarding this structure can lead to reacting to weak or out-of-context divergences, especially in choppy or low-volume environments.
❌ Using It on Second-Based or Tick Charts
Very low timeframes introduce too much noise, which can distort volume slope and divergence signals. For intraday analysis, start with 3-minute charts or higher. For swing trading, use 4H and up for clearer, more reliable structure.
9️⃣ LiquidEdge Settings Overview
A quick breakdown of what you can customize in the indicator and how each option affects what you see:

⚠️ Not recommended on ultra-low or second-based charts due to noise
🔟 Q&A – What Traders Usually Ask
➡️ Can this help reduce bad trades?
To a degree, yes. LiquidEdge is built to highlight areas where price may react, based on volume pressure, liquidity zones, and divergence patterns. It can offer clarity in sideways or messy markets, helping traders avoid impulsive or poorly timed entries.
That said, it’s not predictive or guaranteed. It works best when used with broader context including structure, support/resistance, trend, and volume-based confluence.
👉 Reminder: LiquidEdge is not a signal tool. It’s a decision-support framework designed to help you assess potential shifts, not replace judgment or trading rules.
➡️ Is this just another flashy signal tool?
No. LiquidEdge doesn’t give buy/sell alerts. Instead, it visualizes volume shifts using MFI slope, divergence filtering, and trend-based scoring. It’s built to help you understand why price action may be changing not just react to a one-dimensional signal.
You’re seeing how volume pressure evolves across timeframes, which gives added context to what’s unfolding in the market.
➡️ How do I know this isn’t just another overhyped tool?
LiquidEdge is based on real trading logic: volume pressure (via MFI slope), price behavior, and divergence within trend and liquidity zones. It was developed and tested by traders, not packaged by marketers.
No performance is guaranteed. It’s designed to support your decisions not promise results.
➡️ Will this work with my trading style?
If you trade any market with volume crypto, stocks, or futures LiquidEdge can add value.
✔️ Scalpers: Best from 3-minute and up
✔️ Swing traders: Works well on 4H, Daily, Weekly
✔️ Investors: Weekly charts show pressure buildup over time
⚠️ Avoid ultra-low timeframes (under 1M) or illiquid markets, as noise and irregular data can reduce reliability.
➡️ Can I trust the signals?
These are not buy/sell signals. LiquidEdge offers confidence-weighted insights based on:
✔️ Valid divergence
✔️ Zone positioning (above 80 / below 20)
✔️ Optional trend alignment (via EMA)
Each setup is scored visually to reflect how much confluence exists. You can combine that information with structure, price action, or your existing tools to evaluate opportunities.
👉 Think of LiquidEdge as a decision filter not a trigger.
It’s meant to slow down impulsive trades and help you make more context-aware decisions.
1️⃣1️⃣ Limitations – Know When It’s Less Effective
LiquidEdge performs best in stable, high-volume markets where volume data is consistent and structure is visible.
It’s not recommended for:
❌ Low-volume tokens
❌ Micro-cap or penny stocks
❌ Newly listed assets with limited trading history
These types of markets often show inconsistent or erratic volume behavior, making it difficult for LiquidEdge to accurately assess pressure or identify reliable divergences.
⚠️ During major news events or sudden volatility spikes, volume and price behavior can become disconnected or extreme. This may distort MFI slope calculations and reduce the accuracy of divergence or confidence scoring.
LiquidEdge is built to read structured volume flow. When market conditions become highly erratic or unpredictable, it's best to:
Wait for structure to return
Use it alongside other filters for additional confirmation
This isn't a flaw it's simply the nature of tools that rely on consistency in price and volume data.
1️⃣2️⃣ Real Chart Examples – See It in Action
Now that you’ve seen how LiquidEdge works, here are real-world chart examples from various asset classes
including:
✅ Crypto
✅ Stocks
✅ Futures
✅ Commodities
These examples demonstrate how LiquidEdge behaves under different conditions, and how both the line (MFI slope) and histogram (volume deviation) can be used to interpret market flow.
In each walkthrough, you’ll see:
How the histogram can highlight potential momentum shifts
When the slope line provides stronger directional clarity
Examples of possible hidden accumulation or distribution (before price responds)
What to watch out for such as weak volume, false divergences, or conflicting flow signals
👉 These are real examples based on live market data not theoretical setups. They’re meant to help you recognize how LiquidEdge reacts across multiple styles and timeframes.
Let’s walk through each one and break down the logic step by step, so you can understand how to evaluate setups using structure, volume behavior, and context-driven confluence.
Example: Microsoft (MSFT) – Possible Hidden Accumulation
In this setup, price was moving lower within a short-term downtrend. However, LiquidEdge began showing signs of increasing inflow pressure a common characteristic of accumulation, where volume rises even as price declines.
This divergence suggested that buying interest may have been increasing behind the scenes, despite weak price action on the surface.
Step-by-step breakdown:
👉 Trend context – Price was clearly trending down at the time
👉 Volume divergence – Price made lower lows, but LiquidEdge slope was rising = possible bullish divergence
👉 Accumulation clue – The rising slope, despite falling price, pointed to volume inflow often seen during quiet accumulation
👉 Histogram support – Volume pressure (via the histogram) also increased, confirming the flow shift
👉 Anticipating reaction – When liquidity pressure rises ahead of price, it can signal potential reversal interest
In this case, price later moved sharply higher. While not guaranteed, setups like this illustrate how divergence + volume flow may help highlight early accumulation zones before price confirms the shift.
Same Setup – Focusing on the Histogram Alone
Here, we’re revisiting the Microsoft setup but this time focusing only on the histogram, without the MFI slope line.
Even without the directional slope, the histogram showed rising volume pressure while price continued to drift lower. This visual pattern may indicate that buying interest was quietly increasing, despite weak price movement.
This is where the histogram adds value: it helps visualize the intensity of volume flow over time. When volume pressure builds during a flat or declining price phase, it can be consistent with accumulation where larger participants begin positioning before the market responds.
This example highlights how the histogram alone can provide early insight into underlying volume dynamics even before price shifts noticeably.
Filtering with EMA and why It Matters
Here, we revisit the Microsoft example this time applying the 200 EMA filter, which helps define the broader trend.
Once enabled, LiquidEdge automatically removed any bullish or bearish divergence signals that were against the prevailing trend. This helped reduce noise and focus only on setups aligned with market structure.
✅ The EMA acts as a contextual filter.
For example, if a bullish divergence occurs during a confirmed downtrend, LiquidEdge suppresses that signal helping you avoid setups that may carry more risk.
This filtering mechanism is especially useful in fast or choppy markets, where not all divergences are meaningful.
Want More Flexibility? Adjust the Filter
If you're a more aggressive trader or prefer shorter-term signals, you can reduce the EMA length (e.g., to 150, 50, or even 25). This increases the number of setups shown but also raises the importance of additional context and confirmation.
⚠️ Keep in mind:
❌ More signals doesn’t always mean better outcomes
✅ Focused, context-aware signals tend to be more consistent with broader market pressure
If you’re using this in combination with strategies like options trading, this filter can help refine your entry zones especially when paired with other structure or volatility tools.
Distribution Example and Bitcoin Setup Before a Major Drop
In this example, Bitcoin was trading in a relatively tight range while price continued to push upward. However, LiquidEdge began to show signs of volume outflow, which can suggest potential distribution.
Here’s what was observed:
🔴 Price was moving up inside a horizontal range
🔴 LiquidEdge’s slope indicated declining volume pressure
🔴 Several bearish divergence signals appeared during this consolidation phase
🔴 The histogram also showed weakening flow, even before price broke down
These overlapping signals pointed to a possible distribution phase, where buying momentum was fading despite price still holding up.
🧭 Signs to Watch for in Potential Distribution:
1️⃣ Price holding flat or rising slightly within a tight range
2️⃣ Volume pressure (line or histogram) sloping downward
3️⃣ Repeated bearish divergences forming at the highs
4️⃣ Lack of follow-through on bullish setups signaling hesitation in demand
While LiquidEdge can’t predict market outcomes, this scenario demonstrates how a combination of divergence, outflow, and failure to break out may serve as early warnings that momentum is shifting beneath the surface.
Failed Auction Example – Volume Shift Before a Breakdown
In this example, price attempted to break out above a recent high, creating the appearance of a bullish continuation. However, LiquidEdge began to signal volume outflow, despite the upward price move a potential sign of a failed auction.
Here’s what was observed:
👉 Price made a new high, appearing to break resistance
👉 LiquidEdge slope and histogram both showed declining liquidity
👉 The indicator formed lower lows, even as price pushed higher
👉 This divergence suggested that volume wasn’t supporting the breakout
Shortly after, price reversed and returned back inside the range which is a common characteristic of failed auction behavior.
🧭 Spotting a Potential Failed Auction with LiquidEdge:
1️⃣ Price breaks above a recent high
2️⃣ Volume flow (line + histogram) shows outflow, not inflow
3️⃣ Indicator forms lower lows while price makes higher highs (bearish divergence)
4️⃣ Market reverts back into the previous range without follow-through
While no tool can predict outcomes, this setup demonstrated how volume pressure and divergence can help identify moments where a breakout may lack real support offering context before price action confirms the shift.
Reading the Histogram - Spotting Pressure Fades
In this example, price was still rising but the LiquidEdge histogram showed falling volume pressure. This type of divergence between price and volume can serve as a potential early signal that momentum may be fading.
🔻 Histogram levels declined while price continued higher
🔻 This suggested that buying pressure was weakening, even though price hadn’t turned
🔻 Volume flow behavior didn’t support the continuation possibly indicating buyer exhaustion
Just before the peak, the histogram nearly reached its lower threshold, despite price still being near its highs.
💡 How to Read It:
When volume pressure (shown by the histogram) starts to fade while price is still rising, it can indicate that momentum is weakening. This may precede a pullback or reversal particularly if other factors like divergence or zone exhaustion are also present.
Conversely, rising histogram values during a price drop may suggest potential accumulation.
👉 Use the histogram as a volume intensity gauge, not a signal on its own especially when evaluating whether a move is supported by actual flow, or just price momentum.
The Table – Fast, Visual Multi-Timeframe Flow Insight
The multi-timeframe flow table in LiquidEdge provides a consolidated view of volume momentum across several key timeframes so you don’t need to switch between charts to compare flow strength.
👉 Instead of flipping from 5-minute to 15M, 1H, 4H, and Daily, the table displays flow direction on all of them at a glance.
Example layout:
🔼 Daily: Up
🔽 1H: Down
🔼 15M: Up
🔽 5M: Down
This setup gives you a quick read on whether volume momentum is aligned across multiple timeframes or diverging which can help frame your trade approach.
🧠 Why It’s Useful:
✅ Supports timeframe alignment
If higher timeframes show strong inflow while lower ones are mixed, you may interpret it as a swing-based opportunity. If short timeframes show pressure but higher frames are flat, it might suggest short-term setups with caution.
✅ Improves context awareness
Instead of interpreting a move in isolation, the table helps you assess whether short-term signals are part of a broader shift or going against higher timeframe flow.
💡 Pro Tip: Use the table as a starting point in your analysis. It’s a simple but effective snapshot of current liquidity pressure across the board helping you plan trades with broader context, rather than reacting chart-by-chart.
🔚 Final Thoughts
If you're focused on trading with better clarity and structure, LiquidEdge is designed to help you interpret what’s happening beneath the surface not just follow price movement.
While many tools highlight price alone, LiquidEdge combines volume pressure, divergence filtering, and trend-based context to help identify potential areas of accumulation, distribution, or momentum shifts even before they become obvious on a chart.
👉 This isn’t just another signal tool. It’s a framework to support smarter decision-making:
✔️ One that helps you filter out noise
✔️ One that scores setups using multiple layers of confirmation
✔️ One that brings volume context into every trade idea
Whether you're scalping on a 5-minute chart or managing a longer-term swing trade, LiquidEdge is built to help you stay aligned with volume-driven behavior not just react to price alone.
If you've struggled with late entries, unreliable setups, or second-guessing trades, this tool was designed to bring more structure to your process. It won’t remove all uncertainty but it can help you stay more selective, confident, and intentional.
✅ Trade with clarity
✅ Stay process-driven
✅ Focus on structure, not noise
LiquidEdge is not meant to replace your strategy. It’s here to enhance it.
In this chart, the 200 EMA filter was applied. As a result, only signals that aligned with the dominant trend direction were displayed helping to reduce distractions and focus on setups with stronger context.
💡 Using a higher EMA setting like 200 can reduce the number of signals shown, but may help you focus on higher-conviction opportunities.
That said, every trader is different:
Longer EMAs = fewer signals, but more trend-filtered setups
Shorter EMAs = more signals, faster entries but with potentially more noise
👉 Adjust the filter based on your trading style. Use a 200 EMA for swing trading, or reduce it to 50, 25, or even 5 if you're trading more aggressively or intraday.
LiquidEdge adapts to you not the other way around.
🔁 Adjusting EMA for Your Trading Style
Personal Tip: When trading more aggressively, I often use a 5 EMA filter especially when combining histogram strength with other tools. This increases signal responsiveness and may help highlight short-term flow shifts more quickly.
Below are visual examples that show how different EMA lengths impact the behavior of LiquidEdge:
50 EMA ON
25 EMA ON
5 EMA ON
Lower EMA Example – Gold with the 5 EMA
In this example, the 5 EMA filter was applied to Gold. As expected, more signals were plotted compared to higher EMA settings. The tool became more responsive to rapid shifts in volume momentum, making it more suitable for fast-paced trading environments.
This setting can help traders who prefer early entries but it also introduces more sensitivity, so context and additional confirmation become even more important.
Each setting affects signal frequency and filtering:
Higher EMA → fewer signals, more trend-confirmed setups
Lower EMA → more signals, quicker responses, but with more potential for noise
Choose what fits your approach:
Long-term swing → Stick with 200 EMA
Intraday or scalping → Consider shorter EMAs (50, 25, or 5)
💡 Reminder: EMA filtering is fully adjustable. LiquidEdge doesn’t lock you into one trading style it’s meant to adapt to your process, whether you’re swing trading or scalping short-term moves.
But There’s a Catch…
Using a lower EMA setting (like 5) opens up faster, more frequent signals but it also increases the need for precision and stronger trade management.
❗ More signals = More responsiveness
❗ Faster setups mean quicker decisions
❗ Risk control becomes even more important
💡 Lower Timeframes = More Detail, Less Margin for Error
A short EMA (like 5) can help you:
✅ Identify early momentum shifts
✅ Respond before traditional trend-followers
✅ Highlight short-term divergence and volume changes
But it also comes with tradeoffs:
❌ Greater signal noise
❌ Higher potential for misreads or fakeouts
❌ Requires clear structure and disciplined entries
🚩 Watch Out for Liquidity Grabs
In lower timeframes, a common trap is the liquidity grab where price pushes beyond recent highs or lows, triggers stops, then quickly reverses.
📌 These moves can look like breakouts, but often reverse quickly possibly reflecting institutional order placement or low-liquidity manipulation.
🧭 How to Approach It Smartly
✅ Use structure: Mark support and resistance to frame moves
✅ Confirm volume behavior: Is histogram strength rising or fading?
✅ Avoid chasing: Look for confluence, not just a single signal
✅ Be intentional with stops: Place them with structure in mind to avoid being swept out
NASDAQ Futures Example – Low Timeframe Setups with LiquidEdge
In this example, we look at how LiquidEdge was used to identify both short and long setups on the NASDAQ Futures (NQ) particularly on a low timeframe (5M), where quick decision-making and volume precision matter most.
⚠️ A Note on Futures and Volume
When trading futures, especially on intraday charts, it’s important to separate overnight volume from regular session activity.
🕒 Overnight Volume ≠ Real Volume Context
Overnight price action is informative, but the volume data itself may not reflect true market participation. In LiquidEdge, histogram and pressure calculations emphasize regular session flow helping avoid skewed signals that could come from low-volume overnight moves.
Using the Histogram to Spot Potential Shifts
One of the key cues I use is color transition in the histogram:
🔴 A flip from strong green to red can signal fading buying pressure, sometimes marking the beginning of a potential short setup.
🟢 A shift from red to green may indicate that buyers are returning, suggesting possible accumulation.
These shifts serve as early visual cues of changing pressure especially when confirmed by other tools or context.
🔁 Adding Context with the Line + Structure
After spotting a histogram shift, I look at:
1️⃣ Slope Line – Is it confirming the same directional pressure?
2️⃣ Support/Resistance – Are we near a meaningful zone?
3️⃣ Additional Tools – This includes trendlines, VWAP, EMAs, and overall price structure.
On lower timeframes like 5M, these pieces become even more important. LiquidEdge gives directional insight, but your full setup provides confirmation and execution logic.
⚠️ Disclaimer
LiquidEdge is not a signal tool. It’s a visual representation of market pressure and flow designed to help you make more informed trading and investing decisions. It shows you what’s happening beneath the price action but you are still responsible for your decisions.
Always combine LiquidEdge with your own strategy, research, and supporting tools. That includes trend analysis, support/resistance levels, chart patterns, and fundamentals (like P/E ratios, price-to-sales, debt ratios, etc.).
This tool should never be used alone or treated as financial advice.

M-oscillator
Tick Tack by TradeSeekers"Tick Tack" is a unique first of it's kind attempt at recreating market breadth index "TICK" for all sessions and all markets. Do not confuse this with tick charts.
Backstory
The fun aptly named "Tick Tack" has similar visuals to a market breadth indicator I created, MIT (Market Internal Trend) . For comparative demonstrations it has been included in the publication chart but is not required for Tick Tack usage.
MIT centers on the "TICK" index in a unique bias colored histogram display, where extreme high tick values indicate potential for buy side exhaustion, and inversely, extreme low tick values indicate potential for sell side exhaustion.
The issue with market breadth/internal data is the unavailability in non-RTH sessions, something this indicator resolves. Also TICK isn't available for crypto markets, non-US markets, etc. Tick Tack can be applied to virtually any market.
Neutral Range
Given that TICK index is a ratio and operates on a known range (~1000 +/-), many measures surrounding TICK are statically anchored.
When recreating the concept of TICK on an unbounded market, certain concessions had to be made, the first being the boundaries.
Tick Tack reads the market and creates a dynamic boundary for the "tick like" high and low extreme areas. That is the neutral range and is similarly colored to the MIT indicator.
Conventional trading wisdom indicates that TICK index values between 500 +/- are neutral/chop and have no edge.
Breaks
Any sufficiently high or low breaks beyond the neutral range are considered breaks and colored to indicate this event. Deviation calculations are used to indicate the strength level.
If a break of significant strength is detected, it'll be marked as "extreme" with color and a diamond plot, exactly like MIT.
"Tick" Trend
A simple SMA trend, like MIT, is made optionally available to show direction of the histogram measure.
"TRIN" Dots
TRIN, or "traders index", aims to present a numerical value indicating buy and sell sentiment. Intraday this index adjusts in realtime to market breadth price and volume advancement or decline with a publicly available formula for the entire market (NYSE typically).
Given that Tick Tack isn't making use of market breadth data, some creativity was employed here with a different take on the concept.
At times where measurement indicates directional movement, Tick Tack will display white dots at the histogram zero point, otherwise if balance is detected then the dots will be orange. If neither measure fires a detection, no dots will be displayed.
Usage
It's been primarily designed to emulate TICK index for intraday trading, scalping and similar.
Once sufficiently settled on directionality, range, etc. Utilize the histogram to find key break points to counter or join depending on market conditions.
Often times with TICK, the extreme breaks can be counter signals for quick mean reversion scalps.
Look for histogram and price action divergences for V signals near key pivots.
Tick Tack hasn't been tested nor designed for anything higher timeframe, but a benefit of this indicator vs TICK index is that it works on any timeframe with scaled resolution. It's entirely possible that this indicator has usefulness in higher timeframes.
Considerations
Tick Tack operates under the premise that mostly the market breadth will impact the market being charted and should provide a close approximation. If the charted market has low correlation to breadth then assume this TICK like display will have little to no similarity to the real TICK index (which may be acceptable).
Where Tick Tack and the TICK index will potentially see wide divergence will be near open of RTH. In many cases, with gaps in the NYSE or similar market breadth data, it will take some time for TICK index to catch up to current market conditions. Tick Tack will not suffer from this issue if utilizing extended session data and may provide a clearer picture.
Do note that Tick Tack is not claiming to present actual market breadth information and while it can be used for scalping, like TICK, I'm unsure it can be trusted for the same reasons as TICK.
Final Notes
I've received countless messages, questions and comments that my other market breadth tools be made available to extended sessions, non-US markets and crypto.
My thought process was that if I could create something that closely matched TICK index in regular trading hours, then perhaps it would provide similar indications and usefulness in extended session.

Market Sell-Off GaugeOVERVIEW
The Market Sell‑Off Gauge identifies high‑conviction, risk‑off entry opportunities by detecting broad market sell‑off behavior and rising stablecoin dominance, then confirming risk‑off sentiment via NDX weakness, VIX spikes, and elevated volume. It uses fuzzy logic and sigmoid scaling to convert raw signals into a smooth, bounded metric.
FEATURES
Sell‑Off Detection - calculates percentage drops in the primary asset over a user‑defined lookback.
Stablecoin Dominance Surge - tracks combined USDT/USDC dominance rises as a proxy for on‑chain “flight to safety.”
Macro Confirmation
NDX Weakness (NASDAQ‑100)
VIX Spikes (CBOE Volatility Index)
Elevated Volume on declining bars
Fuzzy Logic & Scaling - component values feed into a fuzzy‑logic membership scor and are passed through a sigmoid compressor (–1 to +1). Weighted aggregation derives the final result of the gauge (or metric).
VISUALISATION
Continuous line plot - Smoothed metric (–1 to +1), colored cold‑to‑warm.
Entry circles - Highlighted when all conditions (fuzzy or crisp) are met after the time offset.
Time‑Offset marker - Vertical line/label showing the user‑specified “start” bar.
Component table - Displays real‑time % changes & volume multiples in the lower right of the indicator.
USAGE
Asset drop % - The threshold percent decline to register a sell‑off.
Stables rise % - The threshold percent increase in stablecoin dominance to qualify as a “flight to safety.”
NDX drop % - The threshold percent decline in the NASDAQ‑100 for macro confirmation.
VIX rise % - The threshold percent increase in VIX. Contributes to risk‑off validation.
Volume Multiplier - Defines how many times above SMA volume must rise to confirm conviction.
Lookback Period - Controls the number of bars over which % changes are measured.
Time Offset - Point in time beyond which bars to “fade” historical signals, enables focus on recent data only.
Fuzzy Logic Settings - Enables fuzzy scoring and set membership threshold & sensitivity.
Weights - allows for adjusting the relative importance of each component (Asset, Stables, NDX, VIX, Volume).
Sigmoid Steepness (k) - Controls curve steepness for compression (0.1 = very flat → 5.0 = very sharp S‑curve).
Chart & settings
Best applied on 4H or Daily BTCUSD (or similar) charts to capture meaningful sell‑off events.
Combine with broader trend filters (e.g., moving averages) for trend‑aligned entries.
Adjust Sigmoid Steepness and Membership Sensitivity to fine‑tune signal crispness vs. smoothness. Refer to tooltips.

Flux Capacitor (FC)# Flux Capacitor
**A volume-weighted, outlier-resistant momentum oscillator designed to expose hidden directional pressure from institutional participants.**
---
### Why "Flux Capacitor"?
The name pays homage to the fictional energy core in *Back to the Future* — an invisible engine that powers movement. Similarly, this indicator detects whether price movement is being powered by real market participation (volume) or if it's coasting without conviction.
---
### Methodology
The Flux Capacitor fuses three statistical layers:
- **Normalized Momentum**: `(Close – Open) / ATR`
Controls for raw price size and volatility.
- **Volume Scaling**:
Amplifies the effect of price moves that occur with elevated volume.
- **Robust Normalization**:
- *Winsorization* caps outlier spikes.
- *MAD-Z scoring* normalizes the signal across assets (crypto, futures, stocks).
- This produces consistent scaling across timeframes and symbols.
The result is a smooth oscillator that reliably indicates **liquidity-backed momentum** — not just price movement.
---
### Signal Events
- **Divergence (D)**: Price makes higher highs or lower lows, but Flux does not.
- **Absorption (A)**: Candle shows high volume and small body, while Flux opposes the candle direction — indicates smart money stepping in.
- **Compression (◆)**: High volume with low momentum — potential breakout zone.
- **Zero-Cross**: Indicates directional regime flip.
- **Flux Acceleration**: Histogram shows pressure rate of change.
- **Regime Background**: Color fades with weakening trend conviction.
All signals are color-coded and visually compact for easy pattern recognition.
---
### Interpreting Divergence & Absorption Correctly
Signal strength improves significantly when it appears **in the correct zone**:
#### Divergence:
| Signal | Zone | Meaning | Strength |
|--------|------------|------------------------------------------|--------------|
| Green D | Below 0 | Bullish reversal forming in weakness | **Strong** |
| Green D | Above 0 | Bullish, but less convincing | Moderate |
| Red D | Above 0 | Bearish reversal forming in strength | **Strong** |
| Red D | Below 0 | Bearish continuation — low warning value | Weak |
#### Absorption:
| Signal | Zone | Meaning | Strength |
|--------|------------|-----------------------------------------|--------------|
| Green A | Below 0 | Buyers absorbing panic-selling | **Strong** |
| Green A | Above 0 | Support continuation | Moderate |
| Red A | Above 0 | Sellers absorbing FOMO buying | **Strong** |
| Red A | Below 0 | Trend continuation — not actionable | Weak |
Look for **absorption or divergence signals in “enemy territory”** for the most actionable entries.
---
### Reducing Visual Footprint
If your chart shows a long line of numbers across the top of the Flux Capacitor pane (e.g. "FC 14 20 9 ... Bottom Right"), it’s due to TradingView’s *status line input display*.
**To fix this**:
Right-click the indicator pane → **Settings** → **Status Line** tab → uncheck “Show Indicator Arguments”.
This frees up vertical space so top-edge signals (like red `D` or yellow `◆`) remain visible and unobstructed.
---
### Features
- Original MAD-Z based momentum design
- True volume-based divergence and absorption logic
- Built-in alerts for all signal types
- Works across timeframes (1-min to weekly)
- Minimalist, responsive layout
- 25+ customizable parameters
- No future leaks, no repainting
---
### Usage Scenarios
- **Trend confirmation**: Flux > 0 confirms bullish trend strength
- **Reversal detection**: Divergence or absorption in opposite territory = high-probability reversal
- **Breakout anticipation**: Compression signal inside range often precedes directional move
- **Momentum shifts**: Watch for zero-crosses + flux acceleration spikes
---
### ⚠ Visual Note for BTC, ETH, Crude Oil & Futures
These high-priced or rapidly accelerating instruments can visually compress any linear oscillator. You may notice the Flux Capacitor’s line appears "flat" or muted on these assets — especially over long lookbacks.
> **This does not affect signal validity.** Divergence, absorption, and compression triggers still fire based on underlying logic — only the line’s amplitude appears reduced due to scaling constraints.

ADX Cross 30 & EMA 20 Touch SignalHOLY GRAIL: ADX Cross 30 & EMA 20 Touch Signal
This TradingView script is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify high-probability trend-following opportunities, drawing inspiration from the renowned "HOLY GRAIL" strategy outlined in the Street Smarts book by Linda Bradford Raschke and Laurence A. Connors. It combines the Average Directional Index (ADX) with the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to generate precise trading signals directly on your chart.
How it Works (Inspired by the "HOLY GRAIL" Strategy):
The script generates a "Buy Signal" when two crucial technical conditions align simultaneously on the same price bar, mirroring the core principles of the "HOLY GRAIL" setup:
ADX Trend Strength Confirmation (ADX Cross Above 30):
The ADX indicator, which measures the strength of a trend (regardless of its direction), crosses above the 30 level.
An ADX reading above 30 typically indicates that a strong and well-defined trend is developing and gaining momentum. This condition filters out choppy or range-bound markets, focusing on clear trending environments, as emphasized in the "HOLY GRAIL" approach.
Price Retest/Interaction with EMA (EMA 20 Touch):
The current price candle (its body or wick) touches or encompasses the 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This means the low of the candle is at or below the EMA, and the high of the candle is at or above the EMA.
This condition identifies moments within a strong trend where price retraces or consolidates to interact with the EMA, which often acts as a dynamic support or resistance level. This interaction, a key component of the "HOLY GRAIL" strategy, can signal a potential entry point for a continuation of the prevailing trend.
The combination of these two conditions aims to provide a robust signal for trend continuation, ensuring both strong trend presence and a favorable entry point, as per the strategy's design.
Key Features & On-Chart Visuals:
Customizable Parameters:
ADX Length: Easily adjust the lookback period for the ADX calculation (default: 14).
EMA Length: Customize the length of the Exponential Moving Average (default: 20).
20 EMA Plot: The 20-period EMA is clearly plotted on your main price chart as a prominent dark blue line, making it easy to observe price interaction.
Combined Buy Signal: When both the ADX cross above 30 and the EMA touch conditions are met, a green upward-pointing triangle (▲) is displayed directly below the relevant price bar, indicating a confirmed buy signal.
Background Highlight: The background of the chart is subtly highlighted in a soft green color when a combined buy signal is active, drawing your attention to the signal bar for quick identification.
Debugging & Analysis Aids:
To assist traders in understanding the individual components of the signal and for fine-tuning the indicator, the script includes two helpful debugging plots:
"ADX Cross Only" (Orange Circle (●) above bar): This small orange circle appears above the price bar when only the ADX has crossed above 30, but the EMA touch condition was not met. This helps identify periods of strong trend development without an EMA retest.
"EMA Touch Only" (Purple Square (■) above bar): A small purple square is plotted above the price bar when only the price has touched the 20 EMA, but the ADX has not yet crossed above 30. This highlights instances of EMA interaction without strong trend confirmation.
These debugging plots are invaluable for refining your understanding of the script's logic and for optimizing input parameters for different market conditions.
Important Recommendation for Users:
To gain a deeper insight into the ADX and its directional components (+DI and -DI) and to cross-reference the script's signals, it is strongly recommended to:
Navigate to your TradingView chart.
Click on the "Indicators" or "fx" icon.
Search for and add the built-in "ADX / DMI" indicator to a separate pane below your main chart.
Ensure that its "Length" setting is synchronized with the ADX Length input you are using in this custom script (default 14).
This will provide a clear visual representation of the ADX indicator itself, which is crucial for comprehensive analysis and informed decision-making based on the "HOLY GRAIL" principles.
Chaikin Bull-Power OscillatorThis indicator is given with much love and care to the community to help you in your trading operations.
How to use the "Chaikin-Bull-PW" Indicator
The Chaikin-Bull-PW is an oscillator based on the Accumulation/Distribution (AD) line smoothed by different methods, called here the "Hull Chaikin Oscillator." It compares two smoothed averages of the AD line — a short period and a long period — to indicate the strength and direction of buying and selling pressure in the market.
Adjustable Parameters:
Short Period: Number of bars used to calculate the short smoothed average of the AD line. Shorter periods make the indicator more sensitive.
Long Period: Number of bars used to calculate the long smoothed average of the AD line. Longer periods smooth the indicator more.
Background Offset: Controls the offset of the chart’s background color.
Smoothing Type: Choose the smoothing method for the AD line among HMA, SMA, SMMA, EMA, WMA, and JMA. This affects how the averages are calculated and how the oscillator responds to price.
Indicator Interpretation:
The oscillator is the difference between the short and long smoothed averages of the AD line.
When the oscillator is above zero (green), it indicates increasing buying pressure, suggesting an uptrend.
When the oscillator is below zero (red), it indicates increasing selling pressure, suggesting a downtrend.
The zero line acts as a reference for trend changes.
Usage Suggestions:
Use the oscillator crossing the zero line to identify potential entry or exit points.
Combine with other indicators or chart analysis to confirm signals.
Adjust the periods and smoothing type to fit your asset and timeframe.
DVPOOverview
The DVPO (Dynamic Volume Profile Oscillator) Strategy is a comprehensive and highly customizable trading tool designed for precision and control. It is built around a unique, volume-driven oscillator that identifies potential market entries by analyzing the relationship between price, volume, and volatility.
This strategy is not just another signal generator; it's a complete framework that includes dynamic entry logic, adaptive risk management (ATR Stop Loss and R:R-based Take Profit), and a powerful dashboard of 10+ optional confirmation filters to help you tailor the strategy to your specific instrument, timeframe, and trading style.
The Core Concept: The DVPO Oscillator
The heart of this strategy is the DVPO oscillator. Unlike standard oscillators like RSI or Stochastics, the DVPO's primary goal is to quantify how far the current price has deviated from its recent volume-weighted "fair value."
Here’s how it works conceptually:
Micro Volume Profile: The indicator first analyzes a recent period of bars (defined by Lookback Period) to build a mini-profile of price and volume.
Volume-Weighted Mean: From this profile, it calculates a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) and the average deviation from that mean. This establishes the central point of value for the recent period.
Deviation Measurement: The oscillator's value is derived from how far the current price is from this calculated mean, scaled by the observed price deviation and a user-defined Sensitivity. A value above the midline suggests the price is trading at a premium, while a value below suggests it's at a discount.
Adaptive Volatility Zones: Instead of using fixed overbought/oversold levels (e.g., 70/30), the DVPO calculates dynamic upper and lower zones using the standard deviation of the oscillator itself. These zones expand and contract based on recent market volatility.
An entry signal is triggered not just when the oscillator is "overbought" or "oversold," but when it breaks out of these adaptive volatility zones, signaling that a statistically significant price movement is underway.
📈 Long Entry Condition : The oscillator crosses above the dynamic upper zone.
📉 Short Entry Condition : The oscillator crosses below the dynamic lower zone.
Integrated Risk & Trade Management
A signal is useless without proper risk management. This strategy has professional-grade risk management built directly into its logic.
Stop Loss (ATR-Based): The Stop Loss is not a fixed percentage. It is calculated using the Average True Range (ATR), allowing it to adapt automatically to the market's current volatility. In volatile periods, the stop will be wider; in quiet periods, it will be tighter.
Take Profit (Risk/Reward Ratio): The Take Profit level is calculated based on a user-defined Risk/Reward Ratio. If you set a ratio of 2.0, the Take Profit target will be placed at twice the distance of the Stop Loss from your entry price.
Dynamic Position Sizing: The strategy can automatically calculate the trade quantity for you. It determines the position size based on your specified Capital Size and the % Risk Per Trade you are willing to accept, ensuring disciplined risk control on every trade.
The Filter Dashboard : Enhance Your Signal Quality
To help reduce false signals and adapt to different market conditions, the strategy includes a comprehensive dashboard of optional confirmation filters. An entry signal will only be executed if it aligns with all the filters you have activated.
Trend & Momentum Filters :
T3, VMA, & VWAP Trend Filters: Utilize a suite of advanced moving averages (T3, Variable Moving Average, and a session-based VWAP) to ensure your trades are aligned with the dominant trend.
ADX Filter: Confirms that the market has sufficient directional strength for a trend-following trade, helping to avoid entries during choppy conditions.
Kaufman Efficiency Filter: Uses the Kaufman Efficiency Ratio to measure market noise. It only allows trades when the market is trending efficiently.
Volume & Market State Filters :
Volume Flow (VFI): A sophisticated volume-based filter that confirms whether volume is supporting the price move.
TDFI (Trader's Dynamic Index): A market state indicator designed to identify when the market is primed for a strong, directional move.
Flat Market Detector: A unique filter that identifies and avoids trading in sideways or ranging markets where trend strategies typically underperform.
Trade Condition Filters :
Min TP / Max SL %: Filter out trades where the risk/reward profile doesn't meet your minimum requirements (e.g., ignore a trade if the ATR-based stop loss is more than 10% away from the price).
Session Filters: Allows you to enable or disable trading on specific days of the week and to set a Cooldown Period (a set number of bars to wait after a trade closes before looking for a new entry).
How To Use This Strategy
Start with the Core: Begin by configuring the DVPO Oscillator settings (Lookback Period, Sensitivity, Zone Width) and your Risk Management parameters (ATR Multiplier, RR Ratio, % Risk Per Trade). These form the foundation of the strategy.
Backtest and Observe: Use TradingView's Strategy Tester to see how the core signals perform on your chosen asset and timeframe.
Layer Filters Intelligently: Enable the confirmation filters one by one and re-run your backtest. Observe how each filter impacts performance (e.g., does the T3 filter increase profitability but reduce the number of trades?). The goal is to find the optimal balance between signal quality and frequency.
Visualize and Analyze: Use the Show Risk/Reward Area option to plot your entry, stop loss, and take profit levels directly on the chart for every trade, providing a clear visual representation of your trade plan.
Disclaimer: This strategy is provided for educational and analytical purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results. All trading involves risk, and you should conduct your own thorough backtesting and analysis before deploying any strategy in a live market.

Customizable Moving Average Overlay
An optional moving average (SMA or EMA) smooths the oscillator for trend analysis, with adjustable length and color options.
Crossover & Crossunder Signals
Alerts and background highlights trigger when the oscillator crosses over or under its moving average, signaling potential momentum shifts or trend changes.
Fully Customizable Colors
Choose your preferred colors for the oscillator line, moving average and crossover signals to match your charting style.
This tool offers a unique oscillator view of Bollinger Bands, combining volatility context with momentum signals for clearer decision-making.
Market Strength Buy Sell Indicator [TradeDots]A specialized tool designed to assist traders in evaluating market conditions through a multifaceted analysis of relative performance, beta-adjusted returns, momentum, and volume—allowing you to identify optimal points for long or short trades. By integrating multiple benchmarks (default S&P 500) and percentile-based thresholds, the script provides clear, actionable insights suitable for both day trading and higher-level timeframe assessments.
📝 HOW IT WORKS
1. Multi-Factor Composite Score
Relative Performance (RS Ratio): Compares your asset’s performance to a chosen benchmark (default: SPY). Values above 1.0 indicate outperformance, while below 1.0 suggest underperformance.
Beta-Adjusted Returns: Checks the ticker’s excess movement relative to expected market-related moves. This helps distinguish pure “alpha” from broad market effects.
Volume & Correlation: Volume spikes often confirm the momentum behind a move, while correlation measures how closely the asset tracks or diverges from its benchmark.
These components merge into a 0–100 composite score. Scores above 50 frequently imply bullish strength; drops below 50 often point to underperformance—potentially flagging short opportunities.
2. Intraday & Day Trading Focus
Monitoring Below 50: During the trading day, the script calculates live data against the benchmark, offering an intraday-sensitive composite score. A dip under 50 may indicate a short bias for that session, especially when accompanied by high volume or momentum shifts.
3. Higher Timeframe Monitoring
Daily Strategies: On daily or weekly charts, the script reveals overall relative strength or weakness compared to the S&P 500. This higher-level perspective helps form broader trading biases—crucial for swing or position trades spanning multiple days.
Long/Short Thresholds: Persistent readings above 50 on a daily chart typically reinforce a long bias, while consistent dips below 50 can sustain a short or cautious outlook.
4. Pair Trading Applications
Custom Benchmark Selection: By setting a specific ticker pair as your benchmark instead of the default S&P 500, you can identify spread trading opportunities between two correlated assets. This allows you to go long the outperforming asset while shorting the underperforming one when the spread reaches extreme levels.
4. Color-Coded Signals & Alerts
Visual Zones (25–75): Color-coded bands highlight strong outperformance (above 75) or pronounced underperformance (below 25).
Alerts on Strong Shifts: Automatic alerts can notify you of sudden entries or exits from bullish or bearish zones, so you can potentially act on new market information without delay.
⚙️ HOW TO USE
1. Select Your Timeframe: For scalping or day trading, lower intervals (e.g., 5-minute) offer immediate data resets at the session’s start. For multi-day insight, daily or weekly charts reveal broader performance trends.
2. Watch Key Levels Around 50: Intraday dips under 50 may be a cue to consider short trades, while bounces above 50 can confirm renewed strength.
3. Assess Benchmark Relationships: Compare your asset’s score and signals to the broader market. A stock falling below its pair’s relative strength line might lag overall market momentum.
4. Combine Tools & Validate: This script excels when integrated with other technical analysis methods (e.g., support/resistance, chart patterns) and fundamental factors for a holistic market view.
❗ LIMITATIONS
No Direction Guarantee: The indicator identifies relative strength but does not guarantee directional price moves.
Delayed Updates: Since calculations update after each bar close, sudden intrabar changes may not immediately reflect.
Market-Specific Behaviors: Some assets or unusual market conditions may deviate from typical benchmarks, weakening signal reliability.
Past ≠ Future: High or low relative strength in the past may not predict continued performance.
RISK DISCLAIMER
All forms of trading and investing involve risk, including the possible loss of principal. This indicator analyzes relative performance but cannot assure profits or eliminate losses. Past performance of any strategy does not guarantee future results. Always combine analysis with proper risk management and your broader trading plan. Consult a licensed financial advisor if you are unsure of your individual risk tolerance or investment objectives.
TradeQUO Herrick Payoff RSIHerrick Payoff Index RSI (HPI-RSI) with Signal Line
An advanced oscillator that measures market strength not just by price, but by "smart money flow."
This indicator is not a typical RSI. Instead of applying the Relative Strength Index to price alone, it calculates it on the cumulative Herrick Payoff Index (HPI) . This creates a unique oscillator that reflects the underlying sentiment and capital flow in the market.
What is the Herrick Payoff Index (HPI)?
The HPI is a classic sentiment indicator that combines three crucial elements to determine if money is flowing into or out of an asset:
Price Change: The direction and momentum of the market.
Trading Volume: The conviction behind the price movement.
Open Interest (OI): The total number of open contracts (mainly in futures), which indicates if new capital is entering the market.
By combining these factors, the HPI provides a more comprehensive picture of market strength than indicators based solely on price.
How This Indicator Works
The script follows a logical, multi-step process:
It calculates the raw Herrick Payoff Index for each bar.
It creates a cumulative sum of this index to generate a continuous money flow value.
This cumulative value is smoothed with a short-period EMA to reduce noise.
The RSI is then applied to this smoothed HPI value.
An additional, configurable signal line (moving average) is added to facilitate trading signals.
Interpretation and Application
You can use this indicator much like a standard RSI, but with the added context of money flow:
Overbought/Oversold: Values above 70 suggest an overbought condition, while values below 30 signal an oversold condition.
Signal Line Crossovers: A cross of the HPI-RSI line above the signal line can be seen as a bullish signal. A cross below can be seen as a bearish signal.
Divergences: Look for divergences between the indicator and the price. A bullish divergence (price makes a lower low, indicator makes a higher low) can indicate an upcoming move to the upside. A bearish divergence (price makes a higher high, indicator makes a lower high) can signal a potential move to the downside.
Settings
The indicator has been deliberately kept simple:
HPI Smoothing Length: Smoothing length (1-5) for the cumulative HPI.
RSI Length: The lookback period for the RSI calculation.
Signal Line Settings: Here you can enable/disable the signal line and customize its type and length.
Display Settings: Adjust the colors of the RSI and signal lines to your preference.
This indicator is a tool for analysis and should always be used in combination with other methods and a solid risk management strategy. Happy trading!
StochFusion – Multi D-LineStochFusion – Multi D-Line
An advanced fusion of four Stochastic %D lines into one powerful oscillator.
What it does:
Combines four user-weighted Stochastic %D lines—from fastest (9,3) to slowest (60,10)—into a single “Fusion” line that captures both short-term and long-term momentum in one view.
How to use:
Adjust the four weights (0–10) to emphasize the speed of each %D component.
Watch the Fusion line crossing key zones:
– Above 80 → overbought condition, potential short entry.
– Below 20 → oversold condition, potential long entry.
– Around 50 → neutral/midline, watch for trend shifts.
Applications:
Entry/exit filter: Only take trades when the Fusion line confirms zone exits.
Trend confirmation: Analyze slope and cross of the midline for momentum strength.
Multi-timeframe alignment: Use on different chart resolutions to find confluence.
Tips & Tricks:
Default weights give more influence to slower %D—good for trend-focused strategies.
Equal weights provide a balanced oscillator that mimics an ensemble average.
Experiment: Increase the fastest weight to capture early reversal signals.

Open Interest-RSI + Funding + Fractal DivergencesIndicator — “Open Interest-RSI + Funding + Fractal Divergences”
A multi-factor oscillator that fuses Open-Interest RSI, real-time Funding-Rate data and price/OI fractal divergences.
It paints BUY/SELL arrows in its own pane and directly on the price chart, helping you spot spots where crowd positioning, leverage costs and price action contradict each other.
1 Purpose
OI-RSI – measures conviction behind position changes instead of price momentum.
Funding Rate – shows who pays to hold positions (longs → bull bias, shorts → bear bias).
Fractal Divergences – detects HH/LL in price that are not confirmed by OI-RSI.
Optional Funding filter – hides signals when funding is already extreme.
Together these elements highlight exhaustion points and potential mean-reversion trades.
2 Inputs
RSI / Divergence
RSI length – default 14.
High-OI level / Low-OI level – default 70 / 30.
Fractal period n – default 2 (swing width).
Fractals to compare – how many past swings to scan, default 3.
Max visible arrows – keeps last 50 BUY/SELL arrows for speed.
Funding Rate
mode – choose FR, Avg Premium, Premium Index, Avg Prem + PI or FR-candle.
Visual scale (×) – multiplies raw funding to fit 0-100 oscillator scale (default 10).
specify symbol – enable only if funding symbol differs from chart.
use lower tf – averages 1-min premiums for smoother intraday view.
show table – tiny two-row widget at chart edge.
Signal Filter
Use Funding filter – ON hides long signals when funding > Buy-threshold and short signals when funding < Sell-threshold.
BUY threshold (%) – default 0.00 (raw %).
SELL threshold (%) – default 0.00 (raw %).
(Enter funding thresholds as raw percentages, e.g. 0.01 = +0.01 %).
3 Visual Outputs
Sub-pane
Aqua OI-RSI curve with 70 / 50 / 30 reference lines.
Funding visualised according to selected mode (green above 0, red below 0, or other).
BUY / SELL arrows at oscillator extremes.
Price chart
Identical BUY / SELL arrows plotted with force_overlay = true above/below candles that formed qualifying fractals.
Optional table
Shows current asset ticker and latest funding value of the chosen mode.
4 Signal Logic (Summary)
Load _OI series and compute RSI.
Retrieve Funding-Rate + Premium Index (optionally from lower TF).
Find fractal swings (n bars left & right).
Check divergence:
Bearish – price HH + OI-RSI LH.
Bullish – price LL + OI-RSI HL.
If Funding-filter enabled, require funding < Buy-thr (long) or > Sell-thr (short).
Plot arrows and trigger two built-in alerts (Bearish OI-RSI divergence, Bullish OI-RSI divergence).
Signals are fixed once the fractal bar closes; they do not repaint afterwards.
5 How to Use
Attach to a liquid perpetual-futures chart (BTC, ETH, major Binance contracts).
If _OI or funding series is missing you’ll see an error.
Choose timeframe:
15 m – 4 h for intraday;
1 D+ for swing trades.
Lower TFs → more signals; raise Fractals to compare or use Funding filter to trim noise.
Trade checklist
Funding positive and rising → longs overcrowded.
Price makes higher high; OI-RSI makes lower high; Funding above Sell-threshold → consider short.
Reverse logic for longs.
Combine with trend filter (EMA ribbon, SuperTrend, etc.) so you fade only when price is stretched.
Automation – set TradingView alerts on the two alertconditions and send to webhooks/bots.
Performance tips
Keep Max visible arrows ≤ 50.
Disable lower-TF premium aggregation if script feels heavy.
6 Limitations
Some symbols lack _OI or funding history → script stops with a console message.
Binance Premium Index begins mid-2020; older dates show na.
Divergences confirm only after n bars (no forward repaint).
7 Changelog
v1.0 – 10 Jun 2025
Initial public release.
Added price-chart arrows via force_overlay.
Uptrick: Mean ReversionOverview
Uptrick: Mean Reversion is a technical indicator designed to identify statistically significant reversal opportunities by monitoring market extremes. It presents a unified view of multiple analytical layers—momentum shifts, extreme zones, divergence patterns, and a multi-factor bias dashboard—within a single pane. By translating price momentum into a normalized framework, it highlights areas where prices are likely to revert to their average range.
Introduction
Uptrick: Mean Reversion relies on several core concepts:
Volatility normalization
The indicator rescales recent market momentum into a common scale so that extreme readings can be interpreted consistently across different assets and timeframes.
Mean reversion principle
Markets often oscillate around an average level. When values stray too far beyond typical ranges, a return toward the mean is likely. Uptrick: Mean Reversion detects when these extremes occur.
Momentum inflection
Sharp changes in momentum direction frequently presage turning points. The indicator watches for shifts from upward momentum to downward momentum (and vice versa) to help time entries and exits.
Divergence
When price trends and internal momentum readings move in opposite directions, it can signal weakening momentum and an impending reversal. Uptrick: Mean Reversion flags such divergence conditions directly on the indicator pane.
Multi-factor sentiment
No single metric tells the entire story. By combining several independent sentiment measures—price structure, momentum, oscillators, and external market context—Uptrick: Mean Reversion offers a more balanced view of overall market bias.
Purpose
Uptrick: Mean Reversion was created for traders who focus on countertrend opportunities rather than simply following established trends. Its main objectives are:
Spot extreme conditions
By normalizing momentum into a standardized scale, the indicator clearly marks when the market is in overbought or oversold territory. These conditions often align with points where a snapback toward average is more probable.
Provide reversal signals
Built-in logic detects when momentum shifts direction within extreme zones and displays clear buy or sell markers to guide countertrend entries and exits.
Highlight hidden divergences
Divergence between price and internal momentum can suggest underlying weakness or strength ahead of actual price moves. Uptrick: Mean Reversion plots these divergences directly, allowing traders to anticipate reversals earlier.
Offer contextual bias
A dynamic dashboard aggregates multiple independent indicators—based on recent price action, momentum readings, common oscillators, and broader market context—to produce a single sentiment label. This helps traders determine whether mean reversion signals align with or contradict overall market conditions.
Cater to lower timeframes
Mean reversion tends to occur more frequently and reliably on shorter timeframes (for example, 5-minute, 15-minute, or 1-hour charts). Uptrick: Mean Reversion is optimized for these nimble environments, where rapid reversals can be captured before a larger trend takes hold.
Originality and Uniqueness
Uptrick: Mean Reversion stands out for several reasons:
Proprietary normalization framework
Instead of relying on raw oscillator values, it transforms momentum into a standardized scale. This ensures that extreme readings carry consistent meaning across different assets and volatility regimes.
Inflection-based signals
The indicator waits for a clear shift in momentum direction within extreme zones before plotting reversal markers. This approach reduces false signals compared to methods that rely solely on fixed threshold crossings.
Embedded divergence logic
Divergence detection is handled entirely within the same pane. Rather than requiring a separate indicator window, Uptrick: Mean Reversion identifies instances where price and internal momentum readings do not align and signals those setups directly on the chart.
Adjustable sensitivity profiles
Traders can choose from predefined risk profiles—ranging from very conservative to very aggressive—to automatically adjust how extreme a reading must be before triggering a signal. This customization helps balance between capturing only the most significant reversals or generating more frequent, smaller opportunities.
Multi-factor bias dashboard
While many indicators focus on a single metric, Uptrick: Mean Reversion aggregates five distinct sentiment measures. By balancing price-based bias, momentum conditions, and broader market context, it offers a more nuanced view of when to take—or avoid—countertrend trades.
Why Indicators Were Merged
Proprietary momentum oscillator
A custom-built oscillator rescales recent price movement into a normalized range. This core component underpins all signal logic and divergence checks, allowing extreme readings to be identified consistently.
Inflection detection
By comparing recent momentum values over a configurable lookback interval, the indicator identifies clear shifts from rising to falling momentum (and vice versa). These inflection points serve as a prerequisite for reversal signals when combined with extreme conditions.
Divergence framework
Local peaks and troughs are identified within the normalized oscillator and compared to corresponding price highs and lows. When momentum peaks fail to follow price to new extremes (or vice versa), a divergence alert appears, suggesting weakening momentum ahead of a price turn.
Classic price bias
Recent bar structures are examined to infer whether the immediate past price action was predominantly bullish, bearish, or neutral. This provides one piece of the overall sentiment picture.
Smoothed oscillator bias
A secondary oscillator reading is smoothed and compared to a central midpoint to generate a simple bullish or bearish reading.
Range-based oscillator bias
A familiar range-bound oscillator is used to detect oversold or overbought readings, contributing to the sentiment score.
Classic momentum crossover bias
A traditional momentum check confirms whether momentum currently leans bullish or bearish.
External market trend bias
The indicator monitors a major currency’s short-term trend to gauge broader market risk appetite. A falling currency—often associated with higher risk tolerance—contributes a bullish bias point, while a rising currency adds a bearish point.
All these elements run concurrently. Each piece provides a “vote” toward an overall sentiment reading. At the same time, the proprietary momentum oscillator drives both extreme-zone detection and divergence identification. By merging these inputs, the final result is a single pane showing both precise reversal signals and a unified market bias.
How It Works
At runtime, the indicator proceeds through the following conceptual steps:
Read user inputs (risk profile, lookback index, visual mode, color scheme, background highlighting, bias table display, divergence toggles).
Fetch the latest price data.
Process recent price movement through a proprietary normalization engine to produce a single, standardized momentum reading for each bar.
Track momentum over a configurable lookback interval to detect shifts in direction.
Compare the current momentum reading to dynamically determined extreme thresholds (based on the chosen risk profile).
If momentum has flipped from down to up within an oversold area, display a discrete buy marker. If momentum flips from up to down within an overbought area, display a sell marker.
Identify local peaks and troughs in the proprietary momentum series and compare to price highs and lows over a configurable range. When divergence criteria are met, display bullish or bearish divergence labels
Evaluate five independent sentiment measures—price bar bias, smoothed oscillator bias, range oscillator bias, traditional momentum crossover bias, and an external market trend bias—and assign each a +1 (bullish), –1 (bearish), or 0 (neutral) vote.
Average the five votes to produce an overall sentiment score. If the average exceeds a positive threshold, label the bias as bullish; if it falls below a negative threshold, label it as bearish; otherwise label it neutral.
Update the on-screen bias table at regular intervals, showing each individual metric’s value and vote, as well as the combined sentiment label.
Apply color fills to highlight extreme zones in the background and draw horizontal guideline bands around those extremes.
In complex visual mode, draw a cloud-like band that instantly changes color when momentum shifts. In simple mode, plot only a clean line of the normalized reading in a contrasting color.
Expose alert triggers whenever a buy/sell signal, divergence confirmation, or bias flip occurs, for use in automated notifications.
Inputs
Here is how each input affects the indicator:
Trading Style (very conservative / conservative / neutral / aggressive / very aggressive)
Determines how sensitive the indicator is to extreme readings. Conservative settings require more pronounced market deviations before signaling a reversal; aggressive settings signal more frequently at smaller deviations.
Slope Detection Index (integer)
Controls how many bars back the indicator looks to compare momentum for inflection detection. Lower numbers respond more quickly but can be noisy; higher numbers smooth out short-term fluctuations.
Visual Mode (simple / complex)
Simple mode plots only the normalized momentum line, colored according to the chosen palette. Complex mode draws a candle-style block for each bar—showing the range of momentum movement within that bar—with colored fills that switch instantly when momentum direction changes.
Color Scheme (multiple themes)
Select from preset color palettes to style bullish vs. bearish elements (fills, lines, labels). Options include bright neon tones, classic contrasting pairs, dark-mode palettes, and more, ensuring signals stand out against any chart background.
Enable Background Highlighting (true / false)
When true, extreme overbought or oversold zones are shaded in a semi-transparent color behind the main pane. This helps traders “see” when the market is in a normalized extreme state without relying solely on lines or markers.
Show Helper Scale Lines (true / false)
When true, hidden horizontal lines force the vertical scale to include a fixed range of extreme values—even if the indicator rarely reaches them—so traders always know where the most extreme limits lie.
Enable Divergence Detection (true / false)
Toggles whether the script looks for divergences between price and the proprietary momentum reading. When enabled, bullish/bearish divergence markers appear automatically whenever defined conditions are met.
Pivot Lookback Left & Pivot Lookback Right (integers)
Define how many bars to the left and right the indicator examines when identifying a local peak or trough in the momentum reading. Adjust these to capture divergences on different swing lengths.
Minimum and Maximum Bars Between Pivots (integers)
Set the minimum and maximum number of bars allowed between two identified peaks or troughs for a valid divergence. This helps filter out insignificant or overly extended divergence patterns.
Show Bias Table (true / false)
When enabled, displays a small table in the upper-right corner summarizing five independent sentiment votes and the combined bias label. Disable to keep the pane focused on only the momentum series and signals.
Features
1. Extreme-zone highlighting
Overbought and oversold areas appear as colored backgrounds when the proprietary momentum reading crosses dynamically determined thresholds. This gives an immediate visual cue whenever the market moves into a highly extreme condition.
2. Discrete reversal markers
Whenever momentum shifts direction within an extreme zone, the indicator plots a concise “Buy” or “Sell” label directly on the normalized series. These signals combine both extreme-zone detection and inflection confirmation, reducing false triggers.
3. Dynamic divergence flags
Local peaks and troughs of the proprietary momentum reading are continuously compared to corresponding price points. Bullish divergence (momentum trough rising while price trough falls) and bearish divergence (momentum peak falling while price peak rises) are flagged with small labels and lines. These alerts help traders anticipate reversals before price charts show clear signals.
4. Multi-factor sentiment dashboard
Five independent “votes” are tallied each bar:
• Price bar bias (based on recent bar structure)
• Smoothed oscillator bias (based on a popular momentum oscillator)
• Range oscillator bias (based on an overbought/oversold oscillator)
• Traditional momentum crossover bias (whether momentum is above or below its own smoothing)
• External market trend bias (derived from a major currency index’s short-term trend)
Each vote is +1 (bullish), –1 (bearish), or 0 (neutral). The average of these votes produces an overall sentiment label (Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral). The table updates periodically, showing each metric’s value, its vote, and the combined bias.
5. Versatile visual modes
Simple mode: Plots a single normalized momentum line in a chosen color. Ideal for clean charts.
Complex mode: Renders each bar’s momentum range as a candle-like block, with filled bodies that immediately change color when momentum direction flips. Edge lines emphasize the high/low range of momentum for that bar. This mode makes subtle momentum shifts visually striking.
6. Configurable sensitivity profiles
Five risk profiles (very conservative → very aggressive) automatically adjust how extreme the momentum reading must be before signaling. Conservative traders can wait for only the most dramatic reversals, while aggressive traders can capture more frequent, smaller mean-reversion moves.
7. Customizable color palettes
Twenty distinct color themes let users match the indicator to any chart background. Each theme defines separate colors for bullish fills, bearish fills, the momentum series, and divergence labels. Options range from classic contrasting pairs to neon-style palettes to dark-mode complements.
8. Unified plotting interface
Instead of scattering multiple indicators in separate panes, Uptrick: Mean Reversion consolidates everything—normalized momentum, background shading, threshold bands, reversal labels, divergence flags, and bias table—into a single indicator pane. This reduces screen clutter and places all relevant information in one view.
9. Built-in alert triggers
Six alert conditions are exposed:
Mean reversion buy signal (momentum flips in oversold zone)
Mean reversion sell signal (momentum flips in overbought zone)
Bullish divergence confirmation
Bearish divergence confirmation
Bias flip to bullish (when combined sentiment shifts from non-bullish to bullish)
Bias flip to bearish (when combined sentiment shifts from non-bearish to bearish)
Traders can attach alerts to any of these conditions to receive real-time notifications.
10. Scale anchoring
By forcing invisible horizontal lines at fixed extreme levels, the indicator ensures that the vertical axis always includes those extremes—even if the normalized reading rarely reaches them. This constant frame of reference helps traders judge how significant current readings are.
Line features:
Conclusion
Uptrick: Mean Reversion offers a layered, all-in-one approach to spotting countertrend opportunities. By converting price movement into a proprietary normalized momentum scale, it highlights extreme overbought and oversold zones. Inflection detection within those extremes produces clear reversal markers. Embedded divergence logic calls out hidden momentum weaknesses. A five-factor sentiment dashboard helps gauge whether a reversal signal aligns with broader market context. Users can tailor sensitivity, visual presentation, and color schemes, making it equally suitable for minimalist or richly detailed chart layouts. Optimized for lower timeframes, Uptrick: Mean Reversion helps traders anticipate statistically significant mean reversion moves.

Market Arterial PressureIndicator Description: Pulse-Market – Market Blood Pressure
"I slept and had a dream."
In that dream, I wore a white lab coat and shiny black pointed shoes. I felt like a doctor—not of traditional medicine, but of the financial market itself. My mission was clear: to measure the market's blood pressure and diagnose its health.
With this vision, I decided to turn the dream into code. Thus, Pulse-Market was born: an indicator designed to listen to the heartbeat of the blockchain, capturing signs of vitality or collapse, and anticipating the pulse of the next trend.
But the journey did not stop there. At the core of this creation, I incorporated a profound theory: the cycle of existence — Alpha, Beta, and Omega — concepts that resonate both in science and sacred scriptures.
Alpha (α) represents the beginning: the primary impulse, the market's accelerated pulse.
Beta (β) symbolizes the middle: the vital rhythm, the stabilizing cadence of prices.
Omega (Ω) indicates the end: structural collapse, the exhaustion of a cycle.
This logical and symbolic triad forms the foundation of Pulse-Market — the beginning, middle, and end of every market cycle.
How to Use the Indicator
Pulse-Market works as a dynamic oscillator composed of three main forces:
Alpha Pulse (α)
Measures recent price acceleration. The stronger the pulse, the more intense the market movement.
Beta Rhythm (β)
Controls the smoothing of the price rhythm and can be adjusted in four modes:
Fast – quick reactions with more sensitivity
Normal – standard smoothing (simple moving average)
Slow – slow and consistent movements
Accelerated – Hull method: reactive and smooth
Omega Collapse (Ω)
Combines entropy and reversals to detect structural collapses where the market may be losing strength.
Visual Interpretation
Green line above zero: healthy pulse, buying pressure in control.
Red line below zero: strong selling pressure, possible exhaustion.
Crossing the zero line: potential trend reversal.
Settings and Customization
In the indicator settings panel, you can calibrate the pressure reading sensitivity:
Systolic Pressure (α): controls the reaction to rapid price impulses.
Increase to highlight aggressive moves; decrease to smooth spikes.
Diastolic Pressure (β): regulates the importance of the underlying rhythm.
Increase for smooth trends; decrease for quicker responses.
Pulse Pressure (Ω): sensitivity to structural collapses and volatility.
Increase to detect reversals; decrease to ignore market noise.
Practical Applications
Confirm entry and exit signals based on the balance between Alpha and Omega.
Adjust the indicator to your trading style: scalper, day trader, or swing trader.
Use on any asset: cryptocurrencies, stocks, indices, forex.
Integrated Philosophy
We live limited by time and matter, but markets, like life, follow natural cycles: they are born, mature, collapse, and are reborn.
Pulse-Market is not just a technical indicator — it is a spiritual and analytical stethoscope that listens to the heartbeat of volatility and tries to anticipate what the eyes cannot see, but time always reveals.
Original Creator
This indicator was created by Canhoto-Medium, the sole inventor and namer of this tool. As long as time goes on, no other indicator will exist with this essence or name.
CCI Orbiting-VenusIndicator Description: CCI Orbiting-Venus
This is a customized version of the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) that measures the price deviation relative to its smoothed moving average to help identify overbought or oversold market conditions.
What does it do?
Calculates the CCI based on various price sources (such as close, open, high, low, and several price averages).
Applies customizable smoothing to the CCI using different types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, Hull, JMA, and SMMA).
Visually highlights the CCI direction with different colors:
Purple when CCI is above zero (positive momentum)
Orange when CCI is below zero (negative momentum)
Shows reference lines at +100 and -100 to help identify overbought and oversold zones.
How to use this indicator?
CCI Period Setting (CCI Period):
Adjust the number of periods used to calculate the CCI. Lower values make the indicator more sensitive, while higher values smooth out fluctuations.
Price Source (CCI Price Source):
Choose which price to base the calculation on: close, open, high, low, or weighted averages. This allows you to adapt the indicator to your trading style or strategy.
Smoothing Type (CCI Smoothing Type):
Select from different smoothing methods for the CCI calculation, which affects how the indicator behaves:
SMA (Simple Moving Average) – basic and traditional.
EMA, WMA, Hull, JMA (more advanced averages) – provide different noise filtering or faster response to price movements.
Interpreting CCI values:
Values above +100 suggest the asset may be overbought and could be near a downward reversal.
Values below -100 suggest the asset may be oversold and could be near an upward reversal.
Crossing the zero line indicates a potential change in trend or momentum.
Practical usage:
Look for buy signals when CCI moves up from the oversold region (-100) and crosses above zero, turning purple (positive).
Look for sell signals when CCI moves down from the overbought region (+100) and crosses below zero, turning orange (negative).
Combine with other indicators or chart analysis to confirm signals and avoid false entries.
Advantages of this custom indicator
Flexibility in choosing the price source and smoothing method.
Intuitive visual cues with colors indicating momentum direction.

⯁ WHAT IS THE MACD❓
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a technical analysis indicator developed by Gerald Appel. It measures the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price to identify changes in momentum, direction, and strength of a trend. The MACD is composed of three components: the MACD line, the signal line, and the histogram.
⯁ HOW TO USE THE MACD❓
The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) from the 12-period EMA. A 9-period EMA of the MACD line, called the signal line, is then plotted on top of the MACD line. The MACD histogram represents the difference between the MACD line and the signal line.
Here are the primary signals generated by the MACD:
Bullish Crossover: When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, indicating a potential buy signal.
Bearish Crossover: When the MACD line crosses below the signal line, indicating a potential sell signal.
Divergence: When the price of the security diverges from the MACD, suggesting a potential reversal.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions: Indicated by the MACD line moving far away from the signal line, though this is less common than in oscillators like the RSI.
⯁ ENTRY CONDITIONS
The conditions below are fully flexible and allow for complete customization of the signal.

Adaptive MACD Deluxe [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script is an advanced rework of the classic MACD indicator, designed to be more adaptive, visually informative, and customizable. It enhances the original MACD formula using a dynamic feedback loop and a correlation-based weighting system that adjusts in real-time based on how deterministic recent price action is. The signal line is flexible, offering several smoothing types including Heiken Ashi, while the histogram is color-coded with gradients to help users visually identify momentum shifts. It also includes optional normalization by volatility, allowing MACD values to be interpreted as relative percentage moves, making the indicator more consistent across different assets and timeframes.
CONCEPTS
This version of MACD introduces a deterministic weight based on R-squared correlation with time, which modulates how fast or slow the MACD adapts to price changes. Higher correlation means smoother, slower MACD responses, and low correlation leads to quicker reaction. The momentum calculation blends traditional EMA math with feedback and damping components to create a smoother, less noisy series. Heiken Ashi is optionally used for signal smoothing to better visualize short-term trend bias. When normalization is enabled, the MACD is scaled by an EMA of the high-low range, converting it into a bounded, volatility-relative indicator. This makes extreme readings more meaningful across markets.
FEATURES
The script offers six distinct options for signal line smoothing: EMA, SMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, VWMA, and a custom Heiken Ashi mode based on the MACD series. Each option provides a different response speed and smoothing behavior, allowing traders to match the indicator’s behavior to their strategy—whether it's faster reaction or reduced noise.
Normalization is another key feature. When enabled, MACD values are scaled by a volatility proxy, converting the indicator into a relative percentage. This helps standardize the MACD across different assets and timeframes, making overbought and oversold readings more consistent and easier to interpret.
Threshold zones can be customized using upper and lower boundaries, with inner zones for early warnings. These zones are highlighted on the chart with subtle background fills and directional arrows when MACD enters or exits key levels. This makes it easier to spot strong or weak reversals at a glance.
Lastly, the script includes multiple built-in alerts. Users can set alerts for MACD crossovers, histogram flips above or below zero, and MACD entries into strong or weak reversal zones. This allows for hands-free monitoring and quick decision-making without staring at the chart.
USAGE
To use this script, choose your preferred signal smoothing type, enable normalization if you want MACD values relative to volatility, and adjust the threshold zones to fit your asset or timeframe. Use the colored histogram to detect changes in momentum strength—brighter colors indicate rising strength, while faded colors imply weakening. Heiken Ashi mode smooths out noise and provides clearer signals, especially useful in choppy conditions. Use alert conditions for crossover and reversal detection, or monitor the arrow markers for entries into potential exhaustion zones. This setup works well for trend following, momentum trading, and reversal spotting across all market types.

Bilateral Filter For Loop [BackQuant]Bilateral Filter For Loop
The Bilateral Filter For Loop is an advanced technical indicator designed to filter out market noise and smooth out price data, thus improving the identification of underlying market trends. It employs a bilateral filter, which is a sophisticated non-linear filter commonly used in image processing and price time series analysis. By considering both spatial and range differences between price points, this filter is highly effective at preserving significant trends while reducing random fluctuations, ultimately making it suitable for dynamic trend-following strategies.
Please take the time to read the following:
Key Features
1. Bilateral Filter Calculation:
The bilateral filter is the core of this indicator and works by applying a weight to each data point based on two factors: spatial distance and price range difference. This dual weighting process allows the filter to preserve important price movements while reducing the impact of less relevant fluctuations. The filter uses two primary parameters:
Spatial Sigma (σ_d): This parameter adjusts the weight applied based on the distance of each price point from the current price. A larger spatial sigma means more smoothing, as further away values will contribute more heavily to the result.
Range Sigma (σ_r): This parameter controls how much weight is applied based on the difference in price values. Larger price differences result in smaller weights, while similar price values result in larger weights, thereby preserving the trend while filtering out noise.
The output of this filter is a smoothed version of the original price series, which eliminates short-term fluctuations, helping traders focus on longer-term trends. The bilateral filter is applied over a rolling window, adjusting the level of smoothing dynamically based on both the distance between values and their relative price movements.
2. For Loop Calculation for Trend Scoring:
A for-loop is used to calculate the trend score based on the filtered price data. The loop compares the current value to previous values within the specified window, scoring the trend as follows:
+1 for upward movement (when the filtered value is greater than the previous value).
-1 for downward movement (when the filtered value is less than the previous value).
The cumulative result of this loop gives a continuous trend score, which serves as a directional indicator for the market's momentum. By summing the scores over the window period, the loop provides an aggregate value that reflects the overall trend strength. This score helps determine whether the market is experiencing a strong uptrend, downtrend, or sideways movement.
3. Long and Short Conditions:
Once the trend score has been calculated, it is compared against predefined threshold levels:
A long signal is generated when the trend score exceeds the upper threshold, indicating that the market is in a strong uptrend.
A short signal is generated when the trend score crosses below the lower threshold, signaling a potential downtrend or trend reversal.
These conditions provide clear signals for potential entry points, and the color-coding helps traders quickly identify market direction:
Long signals are displayed in green.
Short signals are displayed in red.
These signals are designed to provide high-confidence entries for trend-following strategies, helping traders capture profitable movements in the market.
4. Trend Background and Bar Coloring:
The script offers customizable visual settings to enhance the clarity of the trend signals. Traders can choose to:
Color the bars based on the trend direction: Bars are colored green for long signals and red for short signals.
Change the background color to provide additional context: The background will be shaded green for a bullish trend and red for a bearish trend. This visual feedback helps traders to stay aligned with the prevailing market sentiment.
These features offer a quick visual reference for understanding the market's direction, making it easier for traders to identify when to enter or exit positions.
5. Threshold Lines for Visual Feedback:
Threshold lines are plotted on the chart to represent the predefined long and short levels. These lines act as clear markers for when the market reaches a critical threshold, triggering a potential buy (long) or sell (short) signal. By showing these threshold lines on the chart, traders can quickly gauge the strength of the market and assess whether the trend is strong enough to warrant action.
These thresholds can be adjusted based on the trader's preferences, allowing them to fine-tune the indicator for different market conditions or asset behaviors.
6. Customizable Parameters for Flexibility:
The indicator offers several parameters that can be adjusted to suit individual trading preferences:
Window Period (Bilateral Filter): The window size determines how many past price values are used to calculate the bilateral filter. A larger window increases smoothing, while a smaller window results in more responsive, but noisier, data.
Spatial Sigma (σ_d) and Range Sigma (σ_r): These values control how sensitive the filter is to price changes and the distance between data points. Fine-tuning these parameters allows traders to adjust the degree of noise reduction applied to the price series.
Threshold Levels: The upper and lower thresholds determine when the trend score crosses into long or short territory. These levels can be customized to better match the trader's risk tolerance or asset characteristics.
Visual Settings: Traders can customize the appearance of the chart, including the line width of trend signals, bar colors, and background shading, to make the indicator more readable and aligned with their charting style.
7. Alerts for Trend Reversals:
The indicator includes alert conditions for real-time notifications when the market crosses the defined thresholds. Traders can set alerts to be notified when:
The trend score crosses the long threshold, signaling an uptrend.
The trend score crosses the short threshold, signaling a downtrend.
These alerts provide timely information, allowing traders to take immediate action when the market shows a significant change in direction.
Final Thoughts
The Bilateral Filter For Loop indicator is a robust tool for trend-following traders who wish to reduce market noise and focus on the underlying trend. By applying the bilateral filter and calculating trend scores, this indicator helps traders identify strong uptrends and downtrends, providing reliable entry signals with minimal market noise. The customizable parameters, visual feedback, and alerting system make it a versatile tool for traders seeking to improve their timing and capture profitable market movements.
