[EmreKb] Dynamic Factor SupertrendThe Dynamic Factor Supertrend is an innovative variation of the classic Supertrend indicator, designed to provide traders with more accurate trend signals while reducing the impact of false breakouts. Unlike the traditional Supertrend, which relies on a fixed multiplier (Factor) applied to the Average True Range (ATR), this enhanced version introduces a dynamic adjustment mechanism based on price movements relative to the Supertrend line.
This indicator works by assessing the distance between the price and the Supertrend line. When the price moves significantly beyond the typical ATR × Factor distance, the remaining gap is recalculated using a Dynamic Factor. This additional scaling adjusts the base factor, effectively modifying the Supertrend line to better reflect current market conditions. This process ensures that the trend line adapts dynamically to changes in price behavior, reducing noise and improving signal reliability in volatile markets.
One of the key advantages of the Dynamic Factor Supertrend is its ability to minimize false trend reversals. By incorporating the Dynamic Factor adjustment, the indicator becomes more resilient to minor price fluctuations that could otherwise trigger incorrect signals. This makes it particularly effective in markets where volatility is high, or during periods of choppy price action, where traditional Supertrend indicators often struggle to maintain accuracy.
Traders can use the Dynamic Factor Supertrend to identify clear trend directions, with uptrends signaled when the price is above the trend line and downtrends when it is below. The Dynamic Factor parameter can be fine-tuned to match individual trading styles, offering greater flexibility. A lower value makes the trend line more responsive to price changes, while a higher value provides more stability by reducing the frequency of adjustments.
In summary, the Dynamic Factor Supertrend is an advanced trend-following tool that combines the foundational concepts of the Supertrend with a novel dynamic adjustment mechanism. It offers traders a more reliable way to navigate complex market conditions, making it a valuable addition to any trading strategy. This indicator is particularly well-suited for those seeking to reduce false signals and enhance the accuracy of their trend analysis in all market environments.

Alternate Bat Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] ALT Bat Indicator🔵 Introduction
The Alternate Bat harmonic pattern is one of the most precise and practical tools in technical analysis, introduced by Scott Carney in 2003. This pattern focuses on specific Fibonacci ratios, such as 0.382 at point B and 1.13XA at point D, to identify Potential Reversal Zones (PRZ) where price is likely to reverse.
The Alternative Bat pattern emerged as a result of repeated failures observed in the standard Bat pattern. Traders entering trades near the 0.886XA level of the standard Bat often encountered losses. In the Alternate Bat, point D extends beyond 0.886XA, typically reversing at 1.13XA, offering a more accurate identification of the reversal zone.
A key characteristic of this pattern is its M- or W-shaped structure, where the midpoint B retraces 0.382XA or less. Additionally, the CD leg requires an extension of 2.0 to 3.618 to complete the pattern. Due to its accuracy and the predictable behavior of price near the PRZ, the Alternate Bat pattern is recognized as a powerful tool for forecasting price reversals.
In the bullish Alternative Bat pattern, an M-shaped structure forms. After an initial upward movement (XA), price undergoes a short correction at point B (0.382XA) and then declines toward point D (1.13XA and an extension of 2.0 to 3.618BC), where a potential upward reversal is expected.
In the bearish Alternate Bat pattern, a W-shaped structure forms. After an initial downward movement (XA), price retraces slightly at point B (0.382XA) and then rises toward point D (1.13XA and an extension of 2.0 to 3.618BC), where a potential downward reversal is anticipated.
🔵 How to Use
The Alternate Bat harmonic pattern is a key tool for identifying potential reversal zones (PRZ) in the market. By leveraging the 0.382 retracement at point B and the 1.13XA extension at point D, along with symmetrical price structures, this pattern offers precise reversal opportunities in both bullish and bearish market conditions.
🟣 Bullish Alternate Bat Pattern
The bullish Alternate Bat pattern forms during a downtrend, signaling a potential reversal to the upside. This pattern consists of three downward movements with two corrective waves, ultimately reaching point D, which marks the PRZ.
At the PRZ, the convergence of Fibonacci levels—1.13XA and extensions ranging from 2.0 to 3.618BC—creates a strong support zone where price is likely to reverse upward.
🟣 Bearish Alternative Bat Pattern
The bearish Alternate Bat pattern develops during an uptrend, indicating a potential reversal to the downside. This pattern features three upward price movements with two retracements, ending at point D, where the PRZ forms.
Point D is defined by the 1.13XA extension and the 2.0 to 3.618BC projection, creating a strong resistance zone where price is expected to reverse downward.

Adaptive Volatility-Scaled Oscillator [AVSO] (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Adaptive Volatility-Scaled Oscillator (AVSO) is a dynamic trading indicator that measures and visualizes volatility-adjusted market behavior. By scaling various metrics (such as volume, price changes, standard deviation, ATR, and Yang-Zhang volatility) and applying adaptive smoothing, AVSO helps traders identify market conditions where volatility deviates significantly from the norm.
This indicator uses standardized scaling (Z-Score logic) to highlight periods of abnormally high or low volatility relative to recent history. With gradient coloring and clear volatility zones, AVSO provides a visually intuitive way to analyze market volatility and adapt trading strategies accordingly.
█ How It Works
⚪ Scaling Metrics: The indicator scales user-selected metrics (e.g., volume, ATR, standard deviation) relative to the market and price, providing a standardized volatility measure.
⚪ Z-Score Standardization: The scaled metric is normalized using a Z-Score to measure how far current volatility deviates from its recent mean.
Positive Z-Score: Above-average volatility.
Negative Z-Score: Below-average volatility.
⚪ Adaptive Smoothing: An Adaptive EMA smooths the Z-Score, dynamically adjusting its length based on the strength of the volatility. Stronger deviations result in shorter smoothing, increasing responsiveness.
█ Unique Feature: Yang-Zhang Volatility
The Yang-Zhang volatility estimator sets this indicator apart by providing a more robust and accurate measure of volatility compared to traditional methods like ATR or standard deviation.
⚪ What Makes Yang-Zhang Volatility Unique?
Comprehensive Calculation: It combines overnight price gaps (log returns from the previous close to the current open) and intraday price movements (high, low, and close).
Accurate for Gapped Markets: Traditional volatility measures can misrepresent price movement when significant gaps occur between sessions. Yang-Zhang accounts for these gaps, making it highly reliable for assets prone to overnight price jumps, such as stocks, cryptocurrencies, and futures.
Adaptable to Real Market Conditions : By including both close-to-open returns and intraday volatility, it provides a balanced and adaptive measure that captures the full volatility picture.
⚪ Why This Matters to Traders
Better Volatility Insights: Yang-Zhang offers a clearer view of true market volatility, especially in markets with price gaps or uneven trading sessions.
Improved Trade Timing: By identifying volatility spikes and calm periods more effectively, traders can time their entries and exits with greater confidence.
█ How to Use
Identify High and Low Volatility
A high Z-Score (>2) indicates significant market volatility. This can signal momentum-driven moves, breakouts, or areas of increased risk.
A low Z-Score (<-2) suggests low volatility or a calm market environment. This often occurs before a potential breakout or reversal.
Trade Signals
High Volatility Zones (background highlight): Monitor for potential breakouts, trend continuations, or reversals.
Low Volatility Zones: Anticipate range-bound conditions or upcoming volatility spikes.
█ Settings
Source: Select the price source for scaling calculations (close, high, low, open).
Metric Measure: Choose the volatility measure:
Volume: Scales raw volume.
Close: Uses closing price changes.
Standard Deviation: Price dispersion.
ATR: Average True Range.
Yang: Yang-Zhang volatility estimate.
Bars to Analyze: Number of historical bars used to calculate the mean and standard deviation of the scaled metric.
ATR / Standard Deviation Period: Lookback period for ATR or Standard Deviation calculation.
Yang Volatility Period: Period for the Yang-Zhang volatility estimator.
Smoothing Period: Base smoothing length for the adaptive smoothing line.

Up and Downwhat is "Up and Down"?
It is an indicator designed to show you in detail on the chart and warn you when there is an increase or decrease in the market at a level that you consider important.
what it does?
When the price difference between a top and bottom is greater than the level you selected (the default input is 10 percent), it indicates this along with the percentage value on the chart. Then, it indicates the start and end points with lines so that you can see the change from where to where. It shows the price's current percentage distance from the last bottom or top in the upper right corner.
it also colors the candles so you can better understand how fast the price is moving. The greener the candles, the stronger the rise, and conversely, the greater the decline, the redder the candles. Of course, if you set an alarm, it will tell you in which trading pair, in which time period, at what percentage and in which direction there is a movement.
how it does it?
It uses a moving average with a short length to find bottoms and tops. It then measures the distance from the last peak to the bottom and expresses it as a percentage. It uses momentum using the moving average as a source to paint the candles. To compress this momentum between the values 255 and 0, I used a formula that I also used in my limited fisher transform work (because the inputs in the color.rgb function take values between 0 and 255). It was a bit challenging to use the lines correctly, but with the "ta.valuewhen" function and a little experimenting, they were I made sure they were drawn correctly.
how to use it?
It is quite simple to use. First, select the minimum interval you want to receive alarms. If you make this value too high, you will not receive any alarms; if you make it too low, you will receive too many alarms. Choose the range that will benefit you most for the trading pair you are using. Then all you have to do is set an alarm. When you set an alarm, leave the note section blank and the indicator will send you the necessary information.
TASC 2025.01 Linear Predictive Filters█ OVERVIEW
This script implements a suite of tools for identifying and utilizing dominant cycles in time series data, as introduced by John Ehlers in the "Linear Predictive Filters And Instantaneous Frequency" article featured in the January 2025 edition of TASC's Traders' Tips . Dominant cycle information can help traders adapt their indicators and strategies to changing market conditions.
█ CONCEPTS
Conventional technical indicators and strategies often rely on static, unchanging parameters, which may fail to account for the dynamic nature of market data. In his article, John Ehlers applies digital signal processing principles to address this issue, introducing linear predictive filters to identify cyclic information for adapting indicators and strategies to evolving market conditions.
This approach treats market data as a complex series in the time domain. Analyzing the series in the frequency domain reveals information about its cyclic components. To reduce the impact of frequencies outside a range of interest and focus on a specific range of cycles, Ehlers applies second-order highpass and lowpass filters to the price data, which attenuate or remove wavelengths outside the desired range. This band-limited analysis isolates specific parts of the frequency spectrum for various trading styles, e.g., longer wavelengths for position trading or shorter wavelengths for swing trading.
After filtering the series to produce band-limited data, Ehlers applies a linear predictive filter to predict future values a few bars ahead. The filter, calculated based on the techniques proposed by Lloyd Griffiths, adaptively minimizes the error between the latest data point and prediction, successively adjusting its coefficients to align with the band-limited series. The filter's coefficients can then be applied to generate an adaptive estimate of the band-limited data's structure in the frequency domain and identify the dominant cycle.
█ USAGE
This script implements the following tools presented in the article:
Griffiths Predictor
This tool calculates a linear predictive filter to forecast future data points in band-limited price data. The crosses between the prediction and signal lines can provide potential trade signals.
Griffiths Spectrum
This tool calculates a partial frequency spectrum of the band-limited price data derived from the linear predictive filter's coefficients, displaying a color-coded representation of the frequency information in the pane.
Griffiths Dominant Cycle
This tool compares the cyclic components within the partial spectrum and identifies the frequency with the highest power, i.e., the dominant cycle . Traders can use this dominant cycle information to tune other indicators and strategies, which may help promote better alignment with dynamic market conditions.
Notes on parameters
Bandpass boundaries:
In the article, Ehlers recommends an upper bound of 125 bars or higher to capture longer-term cycles for position trading. He recommends an upper bound of 40 bars and a lower bound of 18 bars for swing trading. If traders use smaller lower bounds, Ehlers advises a minimum of eight bars to minimize the potential effects of aliasing.
Data length:
The Griffiths predictor can use a relatively small data length, as autocorrelation diminishes rapidly with lag. However, for optimal spectrum and dominant cycle calculations, the length must match or exceed the upper bound of the bandpass filter. Ehlers recommends avoiding excessively long lengths to maintain responsiveness to shorter-term cycles.
Sell Signal - William O'Neil's Rule VisualizationThis indicator might be helpful for traders looking to visualize William O’Neil’s sell condition, a well-known concept in his trading strategies. A sell signal is triggered when:
1. Volume increases compared to the previous day.
2. The price drops by a user-defined percentage (default: 0.2% or more).
The indicator highlights the background for bars meeting these conditions and adds a subtle circle above them. You can adjust the drop rate in the settings to match your preferences.
It could serve as a useful tool for identifying potential distribution days or profit-taking signals, helping traders manage risk during market pullbacks.

Custom RSI & MACD Momentum Entry SignalsIndicator Explanation: Custom RSI & MACD Momentum Entry Signals
Introduction
The "Custom RSI & MACD Momentum Entry Signals" indicator combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) to generate precise long and short entry signals. This indicator offers a powerful combination of overbought/oversold zones, momentum analysis, and RSI-EMA crossovers to assist traders in making better decisions.
How the Indicator Works
1. RSI Calculation and EMA
The RSI is calculated based on the closing price with an adjustable period (default: 14).
An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the RSI (default: 9) is plotted to identify RSI trend changes.
When the RSI crosses its EMA upwards, it signals a bullish impulse. Conversely, a downward cross indicates a bearish impulse.
2. MACD Calculation and Momentum Shifts
The MACD line is derived from the difference between a fast EMA (default: 12) and a slow EMA (default: 26).
The Signal line is the EMA of the MACD line (default: 9).
The MACD histogram represents the difference between the MACD line and the Signal line.
Momentum shifts are detected as follows:
Weakening Bearish: Histogram is negative but increasing (less bearish pressure).
Strengthening Bullish: Histogram is positive and rising.
Weakening Bullish: Histogram is positive but decreasing.
Strengthening Bearish: Histogram is negative and falling.

Refined SMA/EMA Crossover with Ichimoku and 200 SMA FilterYour **Refined SMA/EMA Crossover with Ichimoku and 200 SMA Filter** strategy is a multi-faceted technical trading strategy that combines several key technical indicators to refine entry and exit points for trades. Here's a breakdown of the components and how they work together:
### 1. **SMA/EMA Crossover**
- **Simple Moving Average (SMA) & Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Crossover**:
- The core idea behind the crossover strategy is to use the relationship between two moving averages to generate buy or sell signals.
- **SMA** (Simple Moving Average) gives an average of past prices over a set period.
- **EMA** (Exponential Moving Average) places more weight on recent prices, making it more responsive to price movements.
- A **bullish crossover** occurs when a shorter period moving average (such as a 50-period EMA) crosses above a longer period moving average (such as a 200-period SMA), signaling a potential buy.
- A **bearish crossover** occurs when a shorter period moving average crosses below the longer period moving average, signaling a potential sell.
### 2. **Ichimoku Cloud**
- The **Ichimoku Cloud** is a versatile indicator that provides insight into trend direction, support and resistance levels, and momentum.
- **Cloud (Kumo)**: The space between the Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B lines. It helps identify whether the market is in an uptrend, downtrend, or consolidation.
- **Tenkan-sen** (Conversion Line) and **Kijun-sen** (Base Line): These lines are used for additional confirmation of trend direction.
- **Chikou Span**: A lagging line that is used to confirm the trend.
- The general trading rules based on the Ichimoku Cloud are:
- **Bullish Signal**: When the price is above the cloud and the Tenkan-sen crosses above the Kijun-sen.
- **Bearish Signal**: When the price is below the cloud and the Tenkan-sen crosses below the Kijun-sen.
### 3. **200 SMA Filter**
- The **200 SMA Filter** serves as a long-term trend filter.
- When the price is **above the 200 SMA**, it signals a long-term bullish trend, and you only look for buying opportunities.
- When the price is **below the 200 SMA**, it signals a long-term bearish trend, and you only look for selling opportunities.
- This filter helps to avoid counter-trend trades, aligning your positions with the broader market trend.
### **How the Strategy Works Together**
- **Trade Setup (Long Position)**
1. The **200 SMA Filter** must confirm an **uptrend** by ensuring that the price is above the 200 SMA.
2. A **bullish crossover** (e.g., the 50 EMA crossing above the 200 SMA) occurs.
3. **Ichimoku Cloud** confirms a bullish trend, with the price above the cloud and the Tenkan-sen crossing above the Kijun-sen.
4. You enter a **long trade** with this confluence of signals.
- **Trade Setup (Short Position)**
1. The **200 SMA Filter** must confirm a **downtrend** by ensuring the price is below the 200 SMA.
2. A **bearish crossover** (e.g., the 50 EMA crossing below the 200 SMA) occurs.
3. **Ichimoku Cloud** confirms a bearish trend, with the price below the cloud and the Tenkan-sen crossing below the Kijun-sen.
4. You enter a **short trade** with this confluence of signals.
### **Exit Strategy**
- Exits can be determined based on any of the following:
- **SMA/EMA crossover reversal**: Exit when the shorter-term moving average crosses back below the longer-term moving average for a long position or crosses above for a short position.
- **Ichimoku Cloud reversal**: If the price breaks through the cloud or the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen lines cross in the opposite direction.
- **Profit target or stop loss**: Setting predefined profit targets or using a trailing stop to lock in profits as the trade moves in your favor.
Summary of the Strategy
This strategy is designed to identify strong trends and avoid false signals by combining:
SMA/EMA crossovers for immediate market direction signals.
Ichimoku Cloud for confirming the strength and trend direction.
A 200
SMA filter to ensure trades align with the long-term trend.
By using these multiple indicators together, the strategy aims to refine entry and exit points, minimize risk, and increase the likelihood of successful trades.
Mastering ATR for Smart Stop Loss and Take Profit PlacementUsing the ATR indicator to set Stop Loss and Take Profit levels provides a dynamic and flexible way to manage risk based on the volatility of the market. This method ensures that your SL and TP are always in tune with current market conditions, preventing unnecessary stop-outs while maximizing the potential for profit. The table in the script makes it easy to view your calculated levels directly on the chart, improving your trading efficiency.
If you're looking for a more automated way to manage your trades, integrating ATR-based SL and TP can be a powerful tool in your strategy.
Happy Trading!

It specifically looks for divergences between the price movements of Gold and Silver over the last 4 candles and compares it with the next candle's price movement. The script provides **Bullish** and **Bearish** signals for SMT during a specified time range of **8:45 AM EST to 10:30 AM EST**.
### Key Features of the Script:
1. **Futures Symbols**:
- The script uses **Gold Futures (GC1!)** and **Silver Futures (SI1!)** on a 15-minute timeframe to monitor their price movements.
2. **Time Range Filtering**:
- The signals are only active between **8:45 AM EST and 10:30 AM EST**, ensuring that the script only signals within the most relevant trading hours for your strategy.
3. **SMT Calculation (Last 4 Candles vs Next Candle)**:
- **Gold and Silver Price Change Calculation**: The script compares the price changes of **Gold** and **Silver** over the **last 4 candles** and then compares them with the price movement of the **next candle**:
- **Bullish SMT**: Occurs when Gold shows an increase in the last 4 candles while Silver shows a decrease, and both Gold and Silver show an increase in the next candle.
- **Bearish SMT**: Occurs when Gold shows a decrease in the last 4 candles while Silver shows an increase, and both Gold and Silver show a decrease in the next candle.
4. **Bullish and Bearish Signals**:
- **Bullish SMT Signal**: The script will plot a **green** arrow below the bar when a Bullish SMT setup is identified.
- **Bearish SMT Signal**: A **red** arrow above the bar is plotted when a Bearish SMT setup is identified.
5. **Gold and Silver Difference Plot**:
- The difference between the prices of **Gold** and **Silver** is plotted as a **blue line**, giving a visual representation of the relationship between the two assets. When the difference line moves significantly, it can indicate a potential divergence or convergence in the prices of Gold and Silver.
### Script Logic Breakdown:
1. **Price Change for Last 4 Candles**:
- The script calculates the price change for Gold and Silver from the 4th-to-last candle to the last candle.
- `gold_change_last4` and `silver_change_last4` calculate these price differences.
2. **Price Change for Next Candle**:
- It then calculates the price change from the last candle to the next candle.
- `gold_change_next` and `silver_change_next` calculate these price differences.
3. **Bullish SMT Condition**:

Tomas Ratio Strategy with Multi-Timeframe AnalysisHello,
I would like to present my new indicator I have compiled together inspired by Calmar Ratio which is a ratio that measures gains vs losers but with a little twist.
Basically the idea is that if HLC3 is above HLC3 (or previous one) it will count as a gain and it will calculate the percentage of winners in last 720 hourly bars and then apply 168 hour standard deviation to the weekly average daily gains.
The idea is that you're supposed to buy if the thick blue line goes up and not buy if it goes down (signalized by the signal line). I liked that idea a lot, but I wanted to add an option to fire open and close signals. I have also added a logic that it not open more trades in relation the purple line which shows confidence in buying.
As input I recommend only adjusting the amount of points required to fire a signal. Note that the lower amount you put, the more open trades it will allow (and vice versa)
Feel free to remove that limiter if you want to. It works without it as well, this script is meant for inexperienced eye.
I will also publish a indicator script with this limiter removed and alerts added for you to test this strategy if you so choose to.
Also, I have added that the trades will enter only if price is above 720 period EMA

Volume-MACD-RSI Integrated StrategyDescription:
This script integrates three well-known technical analysis tools—Volume, MACD, and RSI—into a single signal meant to help traders identify potential turning points under strong market conditions.
Concept Overview:
Volume Filter: We compare the current bar’s volume to a 20-period volume average and require it to exceed a specified multiplier. This ensures that signals occur only during periods of heightened market participation. The logic is that moves on low volume are less reliable, so we wait for increased activity to confirm potential trend changes.
MACD Momentum Shift:
We incorporate MACD crossovers to determine when momentum is changing direction. MACD is a popular momentum indicator that identifies shifts in trend by comparing short-term and long-term EMAs. A bullish crossover (MACD line crossing above the signal line) may suggest upward momentum is building, while a bearish crossunder can indicate momentum turning downward.
RSI Market Condition Check:
RSI helps us identify overbought or oversold conditions. By requiring that RSI be oversold on buy signals and overbought on sell signals, we attempt to pinpoint entries where price could be at an extreme. The idea is to position entries or exits at junctures where price may be due for a reversal.
How the Script Works Together:
Volume Confirmation: No signals fire unless there’s strong volume. This reduces false positives.
MACD Momentum Check: Once volume confirms market interest, MACD crossover events serve as a trigger to initiate consideration of a trade signal.
RSI Condition: Finally, RSI determines whether the market is at an extreme. This final layer helps ensure we only act on signals that have both momentum shift and a price at an extreme level, potentially increasing the reliability of signals.
Intended Use:
This script can help highlight potential reversal points or trend shifts during active market periods.
Traders can use these signals as a starting point for deeper analysis. For instance, a “BUY” arrow may prompt a trader to investigate the market context, confirm with other methods, or look for patterns that further support a long entry.
The script is best used on markets with reliable volume data, such as stocks or futures, and can be experimented with across different timeframes. Adjusting the RSI thresholds, MACD parameters, and volume multiplier can help tailor it to specific instruments or trading styles.
Chart Setup:
When adding this script to your chart, it should be the only indicator present, so you can clearly see the red “BUY” arrows and green “SELL” arrows at the candle closes where signals occur.
The chart should be kept clean and uncluttered for clarity. No other indicators are necessary since the logic is already integrated into this single script.

Options Series - Anchored VWAP Ribbon➤ AVWAP On different chart symbols:
⭐ Overview and Key Features:
Anchored VWAP Calculation:
The script implements the Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price (AVWAP), a tool used by professional traders to identify key price levels weighted by volume, starting from a specific timestamp (anchor point).
Bullish and Bearish Analysis:
It determines the dominance of bullish or bearish momentum based on the relationship between the close price and AVWAP levels across multiple time points.
Dynamic Visualization:
The background of the chart changes color based on overall bullish or bearish sentiment, making it easier to interpret market trends.
Multi-Time Anchors:
By defining multiple anchor points (e.g., 09:15, 09:20), the script calculates a series of AVWAP values for fine-grained intraday analysis.
Customizable Inputs:
Users can select the source price (e.g., hlc3), date, and time for AVWAP calculation.
⭐ How It Works and Functionality:
AVWAP Logic:
Uses the timestamp() function to establish a reference (anchor point).
Calculates the cumulative weighted price (price * volume) and cumulative volume from this anchor point.
The ratio of these sums gives the AVWAP, which updates dynamically with new bars.
Bullish and Bearish Signals:
Binary flags (1 or 0) are set for each time point depending on whether the closing price is above or below the AVWAP for that time.
Aggregates these flags into AVWAP_bull and AVWAP_bear to represent the overall market sentiment.
Decision Logic:
Determines final market conditions (bullish or bearish dominance) based on aggregated scores.
Visual feedback (background and bar colors) is applied accordingly.
⭐ Visualizations and User Experience:
Background Colors:
Green or red background highlights the overall sentiment (bullish or bearish), providing a quick market overview.
Bar Coloring:
Bars are color-coded based on bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions, making it easier to identify trends directly on the chart.
AVWAP Levels:
The calculated AVWAP values are plotted as colored lines for each anchor point, giving precise intraday levels of significance.
Bright colors (fluorescent green/red) are used for additional clarity when the close price is above or below these levels.
🎨 Settings and Customization:
Anchor Point:
Fully customizable anchor points allow users to set specific dates and times (e.g., 09:15 on December 13, 2024) for AVWAP calculations.
Source Price:
Users can choose from hlc3, close, or any other price source to calculate the AVWAP, tailoring the indicator to their strategy.
Visual Appearance:
The transparency, colors, and line styles are adjustable, enabling users to customize the chart to match their trading preferences.
Dynamic Signals:
The script accommodates numerous AVWAP levels, providing flexibility for scalpers and swing traders alike.
⭐ Uniqueness of the Concept:
Precise Intraday Analysis:
Unlike static VWAP, this script allows anchoring to specific times during the day, offering granular insights into market behavior.
Cumulative Sentiment Approach:
Aggregates signals across multiple time intervals, providing a comprehensive view of intraday momentum rather than a single-point reference.
Blending AVWAP with Visual Feedback:
Combines traditional AVWAP calculations with visually impactful features like background shading and bar coloring to enhance decision-making.
Scalability:
Supports adding multiple additional anchor points and customization for broader applicability in different market conditions.
🚀 Conclusion:
The Anchored VWAP Ribbon script is a powerful tool for traders seeking to analyze price behavior relative to volume-weighted levels anchored at specific times. It provides a visually intuitive way to assess intraday market sentiment, combining traditional technical indicators with customizable visualization features. The script’s flexibility makes it suitable for a variety of trading styles, from scalping to swing trading, while its unique cumulative sentiment logic sets it apart from conventional VWAP tools.
Swing High/Low Pivots Strategy [LV]The Swing High/Low Pivots Strategy was developed as a counter-momentum trading tool.
The strategy is suitable for any market and the default values used in the input settings menu are set for Bitcoin (best on 15min). These values, expressed in minimum ticks (or pips if symbol is Forex) make this tool perfectly adaptable to every symbol and/or timeframe.
Check tooltips in the settings menu for more details about every user input.
STRTEGY ENTRY & EXIT MECHANISMS:
Trades Entry based on the detection of swing highs and lows for short and long entries respectively, validated by:
- Limit orders placed after each new pivot level confirmation
- Moving averages trend filter (if enabled)
- No active trade currently open
Trades Exit when the price reaches take-profit or stop-loss level as defined in the settings menu. A double entry/second take-profit level can be enabled for partial exits, with dynamic stop-loss adjustment for the remaining position.
Enhanced Trade Precision:
By limiting entries to confirmed swing high (HH, LH) or swing low (HL, LL) pivot points, the strategy ensures that trades occur at levels of significant price reversals. This precision reduces the likelihood of entering trades in the midst of a trend or during uncertain price action.
Risk Management Optimization:
The strategy incorporates clearly defined stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) levels derived from the pivot points. This structured approach minimizes potential losses while locking in profits, which is critical for consistent performance in volatile markets.
Trend Filtering for Better Entry:
The use of a configurable moving average filter adds a layer of trend validation. This prevents entering trades against the dominant market trend, increasing the probability of success for each trade.
Avoidance of Noise:
The lookback period (length parameter) confirms pivots only after a set number of bars, effectively filtering out market noise and ensuring that entries are based on reliable, well-defined price movements.
Adaptability Across Markets:
The strategy is versatile and can be applied across different markets (Forex, stocks, crypto) due to its dynamic use of ticks and pips converters. It adapts seamlessly to varying price scales and asset types.
Dual Quantity Entries:
The original and optionnal double-entry mechanism allows traders to capture both short-term and extended profits by scaling out of positions. This adaptive approach caters to varying risk appetites and market conditions.
Clear Visualization:
The plotted pivot points, entry limits, SL, and TP levels provide visual clarity, making it easy for traders to track the strategy's behavior and make informed decisions.
Automated Execution with Alerts:
Integrated alerts for both entries and exits ensure timely actions without the need for constant market monitoring, enhancing efficiency. Configurable alert messages are suitable for API use.
Any feedback, comments, or suggestions for improvement are always welcome.
Hope you enjoy!

Dual Zigzag [Trendoscope®]🎲 Dual Zigzag indicator is built on recursive zigzag algorithm. It is very similar to other zigzag indicators published by us and other authors. However, the key point here is, the indicator draws zigzag on both price and any other plot based indicator on separate layouts.
Before we get into the indicator, here are some brief descriptions of the underlying concepts and key terminologies
🎯 Zigzag
Zigzag indicator breaks down price or any input series into a series of Pivot Highs and Pivot Lows alternating between each other. Zigzags though shows pivot high and lows, should not be used for buying at low and selling at high. The main application of zigzag indicator is for the visualisation of market structure and this can be used as basic building block for any pattern recognition algorithms.
🎯 Recursive Zigzag Algorithm
Recursive zigzag algorithm builds zigzag on multiple levels and each level of zigzag is based on the previous level pivots. The level zero zigzag is built on price. However, for level 1, instead of price level 0 zigzag pivots are used. Similarly for level 2, level 1 zigzag pivots are used as base.
🎲 Components Dual Zigzag Indicator
Here are the components of Dual zigzag indicator
Built in Oscillator - Indicator has built in oscillator options for plotting RSI (Relative Strength Index), MFI (Money Flow Index), cci (Commodity Channel Index) , CMO (Chande Momentum Oscillator), COG (Center of Gravity), and ROC (Rate of Change). Apart from the given built in oscillators, users can also use a custom external output as base. The oscillators are not printed on the price pane. But, printed on a separate indicator overlay.
Zigzag On Oscillator - Recursive zigzag is calculated and printed on the oscillator series. Each pivot high and pivot low also prints a label having the retracement ratios, and price levels at those points. Zigzag on the oscillator is also printed on the indicator overlay pane.
Zigzag on Price - Recursive zigzag calculated based on price and printed on the price pane. This is made possible by using force_overlay option present in the drawing objects. At each zigzag pivot levels, the label having price retracement ratios, and oscillator values are printed.
It is called dual zigzag because, the indicator calculates the zigzag on both price and oscillator series of values and prints them separately on different panes on the chart.
🎲 Indicator Settings
Settings include
Theme display settings to get the right colour combination to match the background.
Zigzag settings to be used for zigzag calculation and display
Oscillator settings to chose the oscillator to be used as base for 2nd zigzag
🎲 Applications
Useful in spotting divergences with both indicator and price having their own zigzag to highlight pivots
Spotting patterns in indicators/oscillators and correlate them with the patterns on price
🎲 Using External Input
If users want to use an external indicator such as OBV instead of the built in oscillators, then can do so by using the custom option.
Here is how this can be done.
Step1. Add both Dual Zigzag and the intended indicator (in this case OBV) on the chart. Notice that both OBV and Dual zigzag appear on different panes.
Step2. Edit the indicator settings of Dual zigzag and set custom indicator by selecting "custom" as oscillator name and then by setting the custom external indicator name and input.
Step 3. You would notice that the zigzag in Dual Zigzag indictor pane is already showing the zigzag pivots based on the OBV indicator and the price pivots display obv values at the pivot points. We can leave this as is.
Step 4. As an additional step, you can also merge the OBV pane and the Dual zigzag indicator pane into one by going into OBV settings and moving the indicator to above pane. Merge the scales so that there is no two scales on the same pane and the entire scale appear on the right.
At the end, you should see two panes - one with price and other with OBV and both having their zigzag plotted.
