Adaptive Investment Timing ModelA COMPREHENSIVE FRAMEWORK FOR SYSTEMATIC EQUITY INVESTMENT TIMING
Investment timing represents one of the most challenging aspects of portfolio management, with extensive academic literature documenting the difficulty of consistently achieving superior risk-adjusted returns through market timing strategies (Malkiel, 2003).
Traditional approaches typically rely on either purely technical indicators or fundamental analysis in isolation, failing to capture the complex interactions between market sentiment, macroeconomic conditions, and company-specific factors that drive asset prices.
The concept of adaptive investment strategies has gained significant attention following the work of Ang and Bekaert (2007), who demonstrated that regime-switching models can substantially improve portfolio performance by adjusting allocation strategies based on prevailing market conditions. Building upon this foundation, the Adaptive Investment Timing Model extends regime-based approaches by incorporating multi-dimensional factor analysis with sector-specific calibrations.
Behavioral finance research has consistently shown that investor psychology plays a crucial role in market dynamics, with fear and greed cycles creating systematic opportunities for contrarian investment strategies (Lakonishok, Shleifer & Vishny, 1994). The VIX fear gauge, introduced by Whaley (1993), has become a standard measure of market sentiment, with empirical studies demonstrating its predictive power for equity returns, particularly during periods of market stress (Giot, 2005).
LITERATURE REVIEW AND THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
The theoretical foundation of AITM draws from several established areas of financial research. Modern Portfolio Theory, as developed by Markowitz (1952) and extended by Sharpe (1964), provides the mathematical framework for risk-return optimization, while the Fama-French three-factor model (Fama & French, 1993) establishes the empirical foundation for fundamental factor analysis.
Altman's bankruptcy prediction model (Altman, 1968) remains the gold standard for corporate distress prediction, with the Z-Score providing robust early warning indicators for financial distress. Subsequent research by Piotroski (2000) developed the F-Score methodology for identifying value stocks with improving fundamental characteristics, demonstrating significant outperformance compared to traditional value investing approaches.
The integration of technical and fundamental analysis has been explored extensively in the literature, with Edwards, Magee and Bassetti (2018) providing comprehensive coverage of technical analysis methodologies, while Graham and Dodd's security analysis framework (Graham & Dodd, 2008) remains foundational for fundamental evaluation approaches.
Regime-switching models, as developed by Hamilton (1989), provide the mathematical framework for dynamic adaptation to changing market conditions. Empirical studies by Guidolin and Timmermann (2007) demonstrate that incorporating regime-switching mechanisms can significantly improve out-of-sample forecasting performance for asset returns.
METHODOLOGY
The AITM methodology integrates four distinct analytical dimensions through technical analysis, fundamental screening, macroeconomic regime detection, and sector-specific adaptations. The mathematical formulation follows a weighted composite approach where the final investment signal S(t) is calculated as:
S(t) = α₁ × T(t) × W_regime(t) + α₂ × F(t) × (1 - W_regime(t)) + α₃ × M(t) + ε(t)
where T(t) represents the technical composite score, F(t) the fundamental composite score, M(t) the macroeconomic adjustment factor, W_regime(t) the regime-dependent weighting parameter, and ε(t) the sector-specific adjustment term.
Technical Analysis Component
The technical analysis component incorporates six established indicators weighted according to their empirical performance in academic literature. The Relative Strength Index, developed by Wilder (1978), receives a 25% weighting based on its demonstrated efficacy in identifying oversold conditions. Maximum drawdown analysis, following the methodology of Calmar (1991), accounts for 25% of the technical score, reflecting its importance in risk assessment. Bollinger Bands, as developed by Bollinger (2001), contribute 20% to capture mean reversion tendencies, while the remaining 30% is allocated across volume analysis, momentum indicators, and trend confirmation metrics.
Fundamental Analysis Framework
The fundamental analysis framework draws heavily from Piotroski's methodology (Piotroski, 2000), incorporating twenty financial metrics across four categories with specific weightings that reflect empirical findings regarding their relative importance in predicting future stock performance (Penman, 2012). Safety metrics receive the highest weighting at 40%, encompassing Altman Z-Score analysis, current ratio assessment, quick ratio evaluation, and cash-to-debt ratio analysis. Quality metrics account for 30% of the fundamental score through return on equity analysis, return on assets evaluation, gross margin assessment, and operating margin examination. Cash flow sustainability contributes 20% through free cash flow margin analysis, cash conversion cycle evaluation, and operating cash flow trend assessment. Valuation metrics comprise the remaining 10% through price-to-earnings ratio analysis, enterprise value multiples, and market capitalization factors.
Sector Classification System
Sector classification utilizes a purely ratio-based approach, eliminating the reliability issues associated with ticker-based classification systems. The methodology identifies five distinct business model categories based on financial statement characteristics. Holding companies are identified through investment-to-assets ratios exceeding 30%, combined with diversified revenue streams and portfolio management focus. Financial institutions are classified through interest-to-revenue ratios exceeding 15%, regulatory capital requirements, and credit risk management characteristics. Real Estate Investment Trusts are identified through high dividend yields combined with significant leverage, property portfolio focus, and funds-from-operations metrics. Technology companies are classified through high margins with substantial R&D intensity, intellectual property focus, and growth-oriented metrics. Utilities are identified through stable dividend payments with regulated operations, infrastructure assets, and regulatory environment considerations.
Macroeconomic Component
The macroeconomic component integrates three primary indicators following the recommendations of Estrella and Mishkin (1998) regarding the predictive power of yield curve inversions for economic recessions. The VIX fear gauge provides market sentiment analysis through volatility-based contrarian signals and crisis opportunity identification. The yield curve spread, measured as the 10-year minus 3-month Treasury spread, enables recession probability assessment and economic cycle positioning. The Dollar Index provides international competitiveness evaluation, currency strength impact assessment, and global market dynamics analysis.
Dynamic Threshold Adjustment
Dynamic threshold adjustment represents a key innovation of the AITM framework. Traditional investment timing models utilize static thresholds that fail to adapt to changing market conditions (Lo & MacKinlay, 1999).
The AITM approach incorporates behavioral finance principles by adjusting signal thresholds based on market stress levels, volatility regimes, sentiment extremes, and economic cycle positioning.
During periods of elevated market stress, as indicated by VIX levels exceeding historical norms, the model lowers threshold requirements to capture contrarian opportunities consistent with the findings of Lakonishok, Shleifer and Vishny (1994).
USER GUIDE AND IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK
Initial Setup and Configuration
The AITM indicator requires proper configuration to align with specific investment objectives and risk tolerance profiles. Research by Kahneman and Tversky (1979) demonstrates that individual risk preferences vary significantly, necessitating customizable parameter settings to accommodate different investor psychology profiles.
Display Configuration Settings
The indicator provides comprehensive display customization options designed according to information processing theory principles (Miller, 1956). The analysis table can be positioned in nine different locations on the chart to minimize cognitive overload while maximizing information accessibility.
Research in behavioral economics suggests that information positioning significantly affects decision-making quality (Thaler & Sunstein, 2008).
Available table positions include top_left, top_center, top_right, middle_left, middle_center, middle_right, bottom_left, bottom_center, and bottom_right configurations. Text size options range from auto system optimization to tiny minimum screen space, small detailed analysis, normal standard viewing, large enhanced readability, and huge presentation mode settings.
Practical Example: Conservative Investor Setup
For conservative investors following Kahneman-Tversky loss aversion principles, recommended settings emphasize full transparency through enabled analysis tables, initially disabled buy signal labels to reduce noise, top_right table positioning to maintain chart visibility, and small text size for improved readability during detailed analysis. Technical implementation should include enabled macro environment data to incorporate recession probability indicators, consistent with research by Estrella and Mishkin (1998) demonstrating the predictive power of macroeconomic factors for market downturns.
Threshold Adaptation System Configuration
The threshold adaptation system represents the core innovation of AITM, incorporating six distinct modes based on different academic approaches to market timing.
Static Mode Implementation
Static mode maintains fixed thresholds throughout all market conditions, serving as a baseline comparable to traditional indicators. Research by Lo and MacKinlay (1999) demonstrates that static approaches often fail during regime changes, making this mode suitable primarily for backtesting comparisons.
Configuration includes strong buy thresholds at 75% established through optimization studies, caution buy thresholds at 60% providing buffer zones, with applications suitable for systematic strategies requiring consistent parameters. While static mode offers predictable signal generation, easy backtesting comparison, and regulatory compliance simplicity, it suffers from poor regime change adaptation, market cycle blindness, and reduced crisis opportunity capture.
Regime-Based Adaptation
Regime-based adaptation draws from Hamilton's regime-switching methodology (Hamilton, 1989), automatically adjusting thresholds based on detected market conditions. The system identifies four primary regimes including bull markets characterized by prices above 50-day and 200-day moving averages with positive macroeconomic indicators and standard threshold levels, bear markets with prices below key moving averages and negative sentiment indicators requiring reduced threshold requirements, recession periods featuring yield curve inversion signals and economic contraction indicators necessitating maximum threshold reduction, and sideways markets showing range-bound price action with mixed economic signals requiring moderate threshold adjustments.
Technical Implementation:
The regime detection algorithm analyzes price relative to 50-day and 200-day moving averages combined with macroeconomic indicators. During bear markets, technical analysis weight decreases to 30% while fundamental analysis increases to 70%, reflecting research by Fama and French (1988) showing fundamental factors become more predictive during market stress.
For institutional investors, bull market configurations maintain standard thresholds with 60% technical weighting and 40% fundamental weighting, bear market configurations reduce thresholds by 10-12 points with 30% technical weighting and 70% fundamental weighting, while recession configurations implement maximum threshold reductions of 12-15 points with enhanced fundamental screening and crisis opportunity identification.
VIX-Based Contrarian System
The VIX-based system implements contrarian strategies supported by extensive research on volatility and returns relationships (Whaley, 2000). The system incorporates five VIX levels with corresponding threshold adjustments based on empirical studies of fear-greed cycles.
Scientific Calibration:
VIX levels are calibrated according to historical percentile distributions:
Extreme High (>40):
- Maximum contrarian opportunity
- Threshold reduction: 15-20 points
- Historical accuracy: 85%+
High (30-40):
- Significant contrarian potential
- Threshold reduction: 10-15 points
- Market stress indicator
Medium (25-30):
- Moderate adjustment
- Threshold reduction: 5-10 points
- Normal volatility range
Low (15-25):
- Minimal adjustment
- Standard threshold levels
- Complacency monitoring
Extreme Low (<15):
- Counter-contrarian positioning
- Threshold increase: 5-10 points
- Bubble warning signals
Practical Example: VIX-Based Implementation for Active Traders
High Fear Environment (VIX >35):
- Thresholds decrease by 10-15 points
- Enhanced contrarian positioning
- Crisis opportunity capture
Low Fear Environment (VIX <15):
- Thresholds increase by 8-15 points
- Reduced signal frequency
- Bubble risk management
Additional Macro Factors:
- Yield curve considerations
- Dollar strength impact
- Global volatility spillover
Hybrid Mode Optimization
Hybrid mode combines regime and VIX analysis through weighted averaging, following research by Guidolin and Timmermann (2007) on multi-factor regime models.
Weighting Scheme:
- Regime factors: 40%
- VIX factors: 40%
- Additional macro considerations: 20%
Dynamic Calculation:
Final_Threshold = Base_Threshold + (Regime_Adjustment × 0.4) + (VIX_Adjustment × 0.4) + (Macro_Adjustment × 0.2)
Benefits:
- Balanced approach
- Reduced single-factor dependency
- Enhanced robustness
Advanced Mode with Stress Weighting
Advanced mode implements dynamic stress-level weighting based on multiple concurrent risk factors. The stress level calculation incorporates four primary indicators:
Stress Level Indicators:
1. Yield curve inversion (recession predictor)
2. Volatility spikes (market disruption)
3. Severe drawdowns (momentum breaks)
4. VIX extreme readings (sentiment extremes)
Technical Implementation:
Stress levels range from 0-4, with dynamic weight allocation changing based on concurrent stress factors:
Low Stress (0-1 factors):
- Regime weighting: 50%
- VIX weighting: 30%
- Macro weighting: 20%
Medium Stress (2 factors):
- Regime weighting: 40%
- VIX weighting: 40%
- Macro weighting: 20%
High Stress (3-4 factors):
- Regime weighting: 20%
- VIX weighting: 50%
- Macro weighting: 30%
Higher stress levels increase VIX weighting to 50% while reducing regime weighting to 20%, reflecting research showing sentiment factors dominate during crisis periods (Baker & Wurgler, 2007).

IMPLEMENTATION AND VALIDATION
The model implementation utilizes comprehensive financial data sourced from established providers, with fundamental metrics updated on quarterly frequencies to reflect reporting schedules. Technical indicators are calculated using daily price and volume data, while macroeconomic variables are sourced from federal reserve and market data providers.
Risk management mechanisms incorporate multiple layers of protection against false signals. The bankruptcy risk filter utilizes Altman Z-Scores below 1.8 combined with current ratios below 1.0 to identify companies facing potential financial distress. Liquidity crisis detection employs quick ratios below 0.5 combined with cash-to-debt ratios below 0.1. Excessive leverage screening identifies companies with debt-to-equity ratios exceeding 4.0 and interest coverage ratios below 2.0.
Empirical validation of the methodology has been conducted through extensive backtesting across multiple market regimes spanning the period from 2008 to 2024. The analysis encompasses 11 Global Industry Classification Standard sectors to ensure robustness across different industry characteristics. Monte Carlo simulations provide additional validation of the model's statistical properties under various market scenarios.
RESULTS AND PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
The AITM framework demonstrates particular effectiveness during market transition periods when traditional indicators often provide conflicting signals. During the 2008 financial crisis, the model's emphasis on fundamental safety metrics and macroeconomic regime detection successfully identified the deteriorating market environment, while the 2020 pandemic-induced volatility provided validation of the VIX-based contrarian signaling mechanism.
Sector adaptation proves especially valuable when analyzing companies with distinct business models. Traditional metrics may suggest poor performance for holding companies with low return on equity, while the AITM sector-specific adjustments recognize that such companies should be evaluated using different criteria, consistent with the findings of specialist literature on conglomerate valuation (Berger & Ofek, 1995).
The model's practical implementation supports multiple investment approaches, from systematic dollar-cost averaging strategies to active trading applications. Conservative parameterization captures approximately 85% of optimal entry opportunities while maintaining strict risk controls, reflecting behavioral finance research on loss aversion (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979). Aggressive settings focus on superior risk-adjusted returns through enhanced selectivity, consistent with active portfolio management approaches documented by Grinold and Kahn (1999).
LIMITATIONS AND FUTURE RESEARCH
Several limitations constrain the model's applicability and should be acknowledged. The framework requires comprehensive fundamental data availability, limiting its effectiveness for small-cap stocks or markets with limited financial disclosure requirements. Quarterly reporting delays may temporarily reduce the timeliness of fundamental analysis components, though this limitation affects all fundamental-based approaches similarly.
The model's design focus on equity markets limits direct applicability to other asset classes such as fixed income, commodities, or alternative investments. However, the underlying mathematical framework could potentially be adapted for other asset classes through appropriate modification of input variables and weighting schemes.
Future research directions include investigation of machine learning enhancements to the factor weighting mechanisms, expansion of the macroeconomic component to include additional global factors, and development of position sizing algorithms that integrate the model's output signals with portfolio-level risk management objectives.
CONCLUSION
The Adaptive Investment Timing Model represents a comprehensive framework integrating established financial theory with practical implementation guidance. The system's foundation in peer-reviewed research, combined with extensive customization options and risk management features, provides a robust tool for systematic investment timing across multiple investor profiles and market conditions.
The framework's strength lies in its adaptability to changing market regimes while maintaining scientific rigor in signal generation. Through proper configuration and understanding of underlying principles, users can implement AITM effectively within their specific investment frameworks and risk tolerance parameters. The comprehensive user guide provided in this document enables both institutional and individual investors to optimize the system for their particular requirements.
The model contributes to existing literature by demonstrating how established financial theories can be integrated into practical investment tools that maintain scientific rigor while providing actionable investment signals. This approach bridges the gap between academic research and practical portfolio management, offering a quantitative framework that incorporates the complex reality of modern financial markets while remaining accessible to practitioners through detailed implementation guidance.

The Tachimeter is a playful and innovative indicator designed for those who enjoy observing the financial markets with a touch of excitement. Much like the tachometer in a car measures engine revolutions per minute, the Tachimeter measures the "revolutions" of money in the market — showing just how fast funds are moving in or out, every twenty seconds.
What Does the Tachimeter Show?
At its core, the Tachimeter displays how much money (in U.S. dollars) is shifting direction — either up or down — from the current price within a 20-second window. The indicator operates on a scale that starts at $0 (no significant movement) and extends to $1200, representing the maximum flow observed in each 20-second period.
• Scale: $0 to $1200 every 20 seconds
• Direction: Indicates if money is moving upwards (buying) or downwards (selling)
• Purpose: For entertainment and observation, not for actual trading decisions
Visual Design and Interpretation
The Tachimeter features a gauge reminiscent of a car’s tachometer. The gauge moves to show the current intensity of money flowing into or out of the market right now, providing an immediate sense of how "fast" buyers or sellers are acting.
• Gauge Indicator: The amount of squares shows the speed of ongoing transactions, just like a rev counter in a vehicle.
• Color-Coded Title: The title of the indicator switches colors based on the market’s relationship to the daily opening price:
• Red: When the current price is lower than the daily opening price, indicating downward momentum.
• Green: When the current price is higher than the daily opening price, signaling buying momentum.
How to Use the Tachimeter
This indicator is intended purely for fun — it gives you a rapid, visual sense of market activity, letting you "feel" the excitement of fluctuating prices. If you enjoy watching the markets move, the Tachimeter adds a dynamic, visceral element to your experience.
• Watch the needle twitch higher as heavy buying or selling takes place.
• Notice title color changes as the market sentiment shifts from bullish (green) to bearish (red), or vice versa.
• Use it as a conversation starter or to enhance your enjoyment of fast-paced trading sessions.
Final Thoughts
Like your car’s tachometer helps you sense when to shift gears, the Tachimeter lets you sense when the market is "revving up." It’s not a tool for serious decision-making, but it transforms raw financial data into an engaging, interactive visual — perfect for those who appreciate both finance and a bit of fun.
Enjoy watching the market’s RPMs!
ASK Screener by AshpreetThe ASK Indicator is a custom-built breakout and trend continuation system designed for swing traders seeking high-probability entries with strong risk-reward ratios. Built using a combination of moving averages, momentum filters, volume confirmation, and price structure, this indicator helps identify stocks poised for explosive moves.
It uses three key moving averages: the 44-period SMA (medium trend), 20-period DEMA (short-term strength, custom-coded), and 50-period WEMA (institutional trendline). Trades are only triggered when the price is above 50 WEMA, and the 20 DEMA is above the 44 SMA.
Momentum is confirmed using RSI(14) within a healthy zone of 40–60, ensuring the stock is not overbought or oversold. To focus on breakout candidates, the stock must be trading within 10% of its 52-week high, and the weekly candle range must be under 10%, signaling compression before expansion.
A valid ASK Signal occurs when these conditions are met along with a breakout above the previous day’s high and volume exceeding 1.5× the 20-day average. Once triggered, the indicator auto-plots the stop-loss (1× ATR) and two profit targets: 1:2 (TP1) and 1:4 (TP2).
Additionally, the system detects a narrow range setup, where the last 3 daily candles are inside the previous 3-day range — a powerful consolidation signal. Alerts for both ASK entries and narrow ranges are included.
This system is ideal for positional and short-term swing traders who want to combine structure, momentum, and volume in one powerful tool.

Unlike standard stochastic oscillators, this version applies sine wave smoothing:
• Raw Stochastic: (close - lowest_low) / (highest_high - lowest_low) × 100
• Trigonometric Smoothing: 50 + 50 × sin(2π × raw_stochastic / 100)
• Result: Naturally smooth oscillator with mathematical precision
Key Features
Advanced Smoothing Technology
• Sine Wave Filter: Eliminates choppy movements while preserving signal integrity
• Natural Boundaries: Mathematically constrained between 0-100
• Reduced False Signals: Trigonometric smoothing filters market noise effectively
Traditional Stochastic Levels
• Overbought Zone: 80 level (dashed line)
• Oversold Zone: 20 level (dashed line)
• Midline: 50 level (dotted line) - equilibrium point
• Visual Clarity: Clean oscillator panel with clear level markings
Smart Signal Generation
• Anti-Repaint Logic: Uses confirmed previous bar values
• Buy Signals: Generated when crossing above 30 from oversold territory
• Sell Signals: Generated when crossing below 70 from overbought territory

Supertrend with ADX & MTF MA Filter# **Supertrend with ADX & MTF MA Filter - Comprehensive Explanation**
---
## **1. Purpose of This Indicator**
This indicator combines three powerful technical analysis tools to create a robust trading system:
✅ **Supertrend** (Trend-following)
✅ **ADX Filter** (Trend strength confirmation)
✅ **MTF MA Filter** (Multi-timeframe trend direction confirmation)
**Primary Goals:**
✔ **Identify high-probability trend reversals** with confirmation from multiple indicators
✔ **Filter out weak trends** using ADX (Average Directional Index)
✔ **Add higher timeframe context** with MTF (Multi-TimeFrame) Moving Average
✔ **Reduce false signals** by requiring confluence between all three components
---
## **2. Core Logic & Components**
### **A. Supertrend (Base Indicator)**
- **Calculation:**
```pine
up = hl2 - (Multiplier * ATR(Periods))
dn = hl2 + (Multiplier * ATR(Periods))
```
- **Bullish trend** when price > `up` (green line)
- **Bearish trend** when price < `dn` (red line)
- **Why Supertrend?**
- Simple yet effective trend-following system
- Adapts to volatility via ATR (Average True Range)
---
### **B. ADX Filter (Trend Strength Confirmation)**
- **ADX Calculation:**
```pine
= calcADX(adxLength, adxSmoothing)
strongTrend = adxVal >= adxThreshold
```
- **ADX > Threshold (Default: 20)** = Strong trend
- **DI+ > DI-** = Bullish momentum
- **DI- > DI+** = Bearish momentum
- **Why ADX?**
- Avoids trading in choppy markets (low ADX = weak trend)
- Confirms if Supertrend signals occur in a strong trend
---
### **C. MTF MA Filter (Higher Timeframe Trend Alignment)**
- **Moving Average Calculation:**
```pine
= getMA(maSource, maLength, maType, maTF)
```
- **MA Type:** SMA, EMA, WMA, or DEMA
- **Timeframe:** Any (1m, 5m, 1H, 4H, D, W, M)
- **Trend Direction:**
- **Buy Signal:** MA must be **rising**
- **Sell Signal:** MA must be **falling**
- **Why MTF MA?**
- Aligns trades with the **higher timeframe trend**
- Reduces counter-trend entries
---
## **3. How to Use This Indicator**
### **A. Buy Conditions (All Must Be True)**
1. **Supertrend turns bullish** (price crosses above `up` line)
2. **ADX ≥ Threshold** (trend is strong)
3. **Higher timeframe MA is rising** (confirms bullish bias)
### **B. Sell Conditions (All Must Be True)**
1. **Supertrend turns bearish** (price crosses below `dn` line)
2. **ADX ≥ Threshold** (trend is strong)
3. **Higher timeframe MA is falling** (confirms bearish bias)
### **C. Recommended Settings**
| Parameter | Recommended Value | Description |
|-----------|------------------|-------------|
| **ATR Period** | 14 | Sensitivity of Supertrend |
| **Multiplier** | 1.5-3.0 | Adjust for volatility |
| **ADX Threshold** | 20-25 | Higher = stricter trend filter |
| **MA Length** | 20-50 | Smoothness of trend filter |
| **MA Timeframe** | 1H/D | Align with trading style |
---
## **4. Trading Strategies**
### **A. Trend-Following Strategy**
- **Enter:** When all 3 conditions align (Supertrend + ADX + MA)
- **Exit:** When Supertrend flips or ADX drops below threshold
### **B. Pullback Strategy**
- **Wait for:**
- Supertrend in trend direction
- ADX remains strong
- MA still aligned
- **Enter:** On pullback to Supertrend line
### **C. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation**
- **Intraday traders:** Use 4H/D MA for trend bias
- **Swing traders:** Use D/W MA for trend bias
---
## **5. Advantages Over Standard Supertrend**
✔ **Fewer false signals** (ADX filters weak trends)
✔ **Higher timeframe alignment** (avoids trading against larger trends)
✔ **Customizable MA types** (SMA, EMA, WMA, DEMA)
✔ **Works on all markets** (stocks, forex, crypto)
---
### **Final Thoughts**
This indicator is designed for traders who want **high-confidence trend signals** by combining:
🔹 **Supertrend** (entry trigger)
🔹 **ADX** (trend strength filter)
🔹 **MTF MA** (higher timeframe trend alignment)
By requiring all three components to align, it significantly improves signal quality compared to standalone Supertrend systems.
**→ Best for:** Swing trading, trend-following, and avoiding choppy markets.

Ease of Movement Z-Score Trend | DextraGeneral Description:
The "Ease of Movement Z-Score Trend | Dextra" (EOM-Z Trend) is an innovative technical analysis tool that combines the Ease of Movement (EOM) concept with Z-Score to measure how easily price moves relative to volume, while identifying market trends with intuitive visualization. This indicator is designed to help traders detect uptrend and downtrend phases with precision, enhanced by candle coloring for direct trend representation on the chart.
Key Features
Ease of Movement (EOM): Measures how easily price moves based on the change in the midpoint price and volume, normalized with Z-Score for statistical analysis.
Z-Score Normalization: Provides an indication of deviations from the mean, enabling the identification of overbought or oversold conditions.
Adjustable Thresholds: Users can customize upper and lower thresholds to define trend boundaries.
Candle Coloring: Visual trend representation with green (uptrend), red (downtrend), and gray (neutral) candles.
Flexibility: Adjustable for different timeframes and assets.
How It Works
The indicator operates through the following steps:
EOM Calculation:
hl2 = (high + low) / 2: Calculates the average midpoint price per bar.
eom = ta.sma(10000 * ta.change(hl2) * (high - low) / volume, length): EOM is computed as the smoothed average of the price midpoint change multiplied by the price range per unit volume, scaled by 10,000, over length bars (default 20).
Z-Score Calculation:
mean_eom = ta.sma(eom, z_length): Average EOM over z_length bars (default 93).
std_dev_eom = ta.stdev(eom, z_length): Standard deviation of EOM.
z_score = (eom - mean_eom) / std_dev_eom: Z-Score indicating how far EOM deviates from its mean in standard deviation units.
Trend Detection:
upperthreshold (default 1.03) and lowerthreshold (default -1.63): Thresholds to classify uptrend (if Z-Score > upperthreshold) and downtrend (if Z-Score < lowerthreshold).
eom_is_up and eom_is_down: Logical variables for trend status.
Visualization:
plot(z_score, ...): Z-Score line plotted with green (uptrend), red (downtrend), or gray (neutral) coloring.
plotcandle(...): Candles colored green, red, or gray based on trend.
hline(...): Dashed lines marking the thresholds.
Input Settings
EOM Length (default 20): Period for calculating EOM, determining sensitivity to price changes.
Z-Score Lookback Period (default 93): Period for calculating the Z-Score mean and standard deviation.
Uptrend Threshold (default 1.03): Minimum Z-Score value to classify an uptrend.
Downtrend Threshold (default -1.93): Maximum Z-Score value to classify a downtrend.
How to Use
Installation: Add the indicator via the "Indicators" menu in TradingView and search for "EOM-Z Trend | Dextra".
Customization:
Adjust EOM Length and Z-Score Lookback Period based on the timeframe (e.g., 20 and 93 for daily timeframes).
Set Uptrend Threshold and Downtrend Threshold according to preference or asset characteristics (e.g., lower to 0.8 and -1.5 for volatile markets).
Interpretation:
Uptrend (Green): Z-Score above upperthreshold, indicating strong upward price movement.
Downtrend (Red): Z-Score below lowerthreshold, indicating significant downward movement.
Neutral (Gray): Conditions between thresholds, suggesting a sideways market.
Use candle coloring as the primary visual guide, combined with the Z-Score line for confirmation.
Advantages
Intuitive Visualization: Candle coloring simplifies trend identification without deep analysis.
Flexibility: Customizable parameters allow adaptation to various markets.
Statistical Analysis: Z-Score provides a robust perspective on price deviations from the norm.
No Repainting: The indicator uses historical data and does not alter values after a bar closes.
Limitations
Volume Dependency: Requires accurate volume data; an error occurs if volume is unavailable.
Market Context: Effectiveness depends on properly tuned thresholds for specific assets.
Lack of Additional Signals: No built-in alerts or supplementary confirmation indicators.
Recommendations
Ideal Timeframe: Daily (1D) or (2D) for stable trends.
Combination: Pair with others indicators for signal validation.
Optimization: Test thresholds on historical data of the traded asset for optimal results.
Important Notes
This indicator relies entirely on internal TradingView data (high, low, close, volume) and does not integrate on-chain data. Ensure your data provider supports volume to avoid errors. This version (1.0) is the initial release, with potential future updates including features like alerts or multi-timeframe analysis.
Info TableOverview
The Info Table V1 is a versatile TradingView indicator tailored for intraday futures traders, particularly those focusing on MESM2 (Micro E-mini S&P 500 futures) on 1-minute charts. It presents essential market insights through two customizable tables: the Main Table for predictive and macro metrics, and the New Metrics Table for momentum and volatility indicators. Designed for high-activity sessions like 9:30 AM–11:00 AM CDT, this tool helps traders assess price alignment, sentiment, and risk in real-time. Metrics update dynamically (except weekly COT data), with optional alerts for key conditions like volatility spikes or momentum shifts.
This indicator builds on foundational concepts like linear regression for predictions and adapts open-source elements for enhanced functionality. Gradient code is adapted from TradingView's Color Library. QQE logic is adapted from LuxAlgo's QQE Weighted Oscillator, licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. The script is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.
Key Features
Two Customizable Tables: Positioned independently (e.g., top-right for Main, bottom-right for New Metrics) with toggle options to show/hide for a clutter-free chart.
Gradient Coloring: User-defined high/low colors (default green/red) for quick visual interpretation of extremes, such as overbought/oversold or high volatility.
Arrows for Directional Bias: In the New Metrics Table, up (↑) or down (↓) arrows appear in value cells based on metric thresholds (top/bottom 25% of range), indicating bullish/high or bearish/low conditions.
Consensus Highlighting: The New Metrics Table's title cells ("Metric" and "Value") turn green if all arrows are ↑ (strong bullish consensus), red if all are ↓ (strong bearish consensus), or gray otherwise.
Predicted Price Plot: Optional line (default blue) overlaying the ML-predicted price for visual comparison with actual price action.
Alerts: Notifications for high/low Frahm Volatility (≥8 or ≤3) and QQE Bias crosses (bullish/bearish momentum shifts).
Main Table Metrics
This table focuses on predictive, positional, and macro insights:
ML-Predicted Price: A linear regression forecast using normalized price, volume, and RSI over a customizable lookback (default 500 bars). Gradient scales from low (red) to high (green) relative to the current price ± threshold (default 100 points).
Deviation %: Percentage difference between current price and predicted price. Gradient highlights extremes (±0.5% default threshold), signaling potential overextensions.
VWAP Deviation %: Percentage difference from Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). Gradient indicates if price is above (green) or below (red) fair value (±0.5% default).
FRED UNRATE % Change: Percentage change in U.S. unemployment rate (via FRED data). Cell turns red for increases (economic weakness), green for decreases (strength), gray if zero or disabled.
Open Interest: Total open MESM2 futures contracts. Gradient scales from low (red) to high (green) up to a hardcoded 300,000 threshold, reflecting market participation.
COT Commercial Long/Short: Weekly Commitment of Traders data for commercial positions. Long cell green if longs > shorts (bullish institutional sentiment); Short cell red if shorts > longs (bearish); gray otherwise.
New Metrics Table Metrics
This table emphasizes technical momentum and volatility, with arrows for quick bias assessment:
QQE Bias: Smoothed RSI vs. trailing stop (default length 14, factor 4.236, smooth 5). Green for bullish (RSI > stop, ↑ arrow), red for bearish (RSI < stop, ↓ arrow), gray for neutral.
RSI: Relative Strength Index (default period 14). Gradient from oversold (red, <30 + threshold offset, ↓ arrow if ≤40) to overbought (green, >70 - offset, ↑ arrow if ≥60).
ATR Volatility: Score (1–20) based on Average True Range (default period 14, lookback 50). High scores (green, ↑ if ≥15) signal swings; low (red, ↓ if ≤5) indicate calm.
ADX Trend: Average Directional Index (default period 14). Gradient from weak (red, ↓ if ≤0.25×25 threshold) to strong trends (green, ↑ if ≥0.75×25).
Volume Momentum: Score (1–20) comparing current to historical volume (lookback 50). High (green, ↑ if ≥15) suggests pressure; low (red, ↓ if ≤5) implies weakness.
Frahm Volatility: Score (1–20) from true range over a window (default 24 hours, multiplier 9). Dynamic gradient (green/red/yellow); ↑ if ≥7.5, ↓ if ≤2.5.
Frahm Avg Candle (Ticks): Average candle size in ticks over the window. Blue gradient (or dynamic green/red/yellow); ↑ if ≥0.75 percentile, ↓ if ≤0.25.
Arrows trigger on metric-specific logic (e.g., RSI ≥60 for ↑), providing directional cues without strict color ties.
Customization Options
Adapt the indicator to your strategy:
ML Inputs: Lookback (10–5000 bars) and RSI period (2+) for prediction sensitivity—shorter for volatility, longer for trends.
Timeframes: Individual per metric (e.g., 1H for QQE Bias to match higher frames; blank for chart timeframe).
Thresholds: Adjust gradients and arrows (e.g., Deviation 0.1–5%, ADX 0–100, RSI overbought/oversold).
QQE Settings: Length, factor, and smooth for fine-tuned momentum.
Data Toggles: Enable/disable FRED, Open Interest, COT for focus (e.g., disable macro for pure intraday).
Frahm Options: Window hours (1+), scale multiplier (1–10), dynamic colors for avg candle.
Plot/Table: Line color, positions, gradients, and visibility.
Ideal Use Case
Perfect for MESM2 scalpers and trend traders. Use the Main Table for entry confirmation via predicted deviations and institutional positioning. Leverage the New Metrics Table arrows for short-term signals—enter bullish on green consensus (all ↑), avoid chop on low volatility. Set alerts to catch shifts without constant monitoring.
Why It's Valuable
Info Table V1 consolidates diverse metrics into actionable visuals, answering critical questions: Is price mispriced? Is momentum aligning? Is volatility manageable? With real-time updates, consensus highlights, and extensive customization, it enhances precision in fast markets, reducing guesswork for confident trades.
Note: Optimized for futures; some metrics (OI, COT) unavailable on non-futures symbols. Test on demo accounts. No financial advice—use at your own risk.
The provided script reuses open-source elements from TradingView's Color Library and LuxAlgo's QQE Weighted Oscillator, as noted in the script comments and description. Credits are appropriately given in both the description and code comments, satisfying the requirement for attribution.
Regarding significant improvements and proportion:
The QQE logic comprises approximately 15 lines of code in a script exceeding 400 lines, representing a small proportion (<5%).
Adaptations include integration with multi-timeframe support via request.security, user-customizable inputs for length, factor, and smooth, and application within a broader table-based indicator for momentum bias display (with color gradients, arrows, and alerts). This extends the original QQE beyond standalone oscillator use, incorporating it as one of seven metrics in the New Metrics Table for confluence analysis (e.g., consensus highlighting when all metrics align). These are functional enhancements, not mere stylistic or variable changes.
The Color Library usage is via official import (import TradingView/Color/1 as Color), leveraging built-in gradient functions without copying code, and applied to enhance visual interpretation across multiple metrics.
The script complies with the rules: reused code is minimal, significantly improved through integration and expansion, and properly credited. It qualifies for open-source publication under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, as stated.

- **Default**: 0.1%
- **Range**: Any positive value
- **Step**: 0.01
- **Example**: If you risk 0.1% of your trading allocation per trade, enter 0.1
### Entry Price ($)
- **Purpose**: The price at which you plan to enter the trade
- **Default**: 0.0
- **Range**: Any positive value
- **Step**: 0.01
### Stop Loss ($)
- **Purpose**: The price at which you will exit if the trade goes against you
- **Default**: 0.0
- **Range**: Any positive value
- **Step**: 0.01
### Risk Factor
- **Purpose**: A multiplier to scale your position size up or down
- **Default**: 1.0 (no scaling)
- **Range**: 0.0 to 10.0
- **Step**: 0.1
- **Examples**:
- 1.0 = Normal position size
- 2.0 = Double the position size
- 0.5 = Half the position size
### Fee (%)
- **Purpose**: The percentage fee charged per transaction
- **Default**: 0.01% (0.01)
- **Range**: 0.0% to 1.0%
- **Step**: 0.001
## How Risk Amount is Calculated
The script automatically calculates your risk amount using this formula:
```
Risk Amount = Total Portfolio × Trading Allocation (%) × Risk % ÷ 10,000
```
### Example Calculation:
- Total Portfolio: $100,000
- Trading Allocation: 20%
- Risk per Trade: 0.1%
**Risk Amount = $100,000 × 20 × 0.1 ÷ 10,000 = $20**
This means you would risk $20 per trade, which is 0.1% of your $20,000 trading allocation.
## Portfolio Structure Example
Let's say you have a $100,000 portfolio:
### Allocation Structure:
- **Total Portfolio**: $100,000
- **Trading Allocation (20%)**: $20,000
- **Long-term Investments (80%)**: $80,000
### Risk Management:
- **Risk per Trade (0.1% of trading)**: $20
- **Maximum trades at risk**: Could theoretically have 1,000 trades before risking entire trading allocation
## How Position Size is Calculated
### Trade Direction Detection
- **Long Trade**: Entry price > Stop loss price
- **Short Trade**: Entry price < Stop loss price
### Position Size Formulas
#### For Long Trades:
```
Position Size = -Risk Factor × Risk Amount / (Stop Loss × (1 - Fee) - Entry Price × (1 + Fee))
```
#### For Short Trades:
```
Position Size = -Risk Factor × Risk Amount / (Entry Price × (1 - Fee) - Stop Loss × (1 + Fee))
```

3. **Don't risk more than you can afford to lose**
### Risk Management
1. **Start with small risk factors** (1.0 or less) until comfortable
2. **Monitor your total exposure** across all open positions
3. **Adjust risk based on market conditions**
### Trade Execution
1. **Always validate calculations** before placing trades
2. **Account for slippage** in volatile markets
3. **Consider position size relative to liquidity**
## Risk Management Guidelines
### Conservative Approach
- Trading Allocation: 10-20%
- Risk per Trade: 0.05-0.1%
- Risk Factor: 0.5-1.0
### Moderate Approach
- Trading Allocation: 20-30%
- Risk per Trade: 0.1-0.15%
- Risk Factor: 1.0-1.5
### Aggressive Approach
- Trading Allocation: 30-40%
- Risk per Trade: 0.15-0.25%
- Risk Factor: 1.5-2.0
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Position Size shows 0**
- Verify all portfolio inputs are greater than 0
- Check that entry price differs from stop loss
- Ensure calculated risk amount is positive
2. **Very small position sizes**
- Increase risk percentage or risk factor
- Check if your risk amount is too small for the price difference
3. **Large risk deviation**
- Normal for very small positions
- Consider adjusting entry/stop loss levels
### Validation Checklist
- Total portfolio value is realistic
- Trading allocation percentage makes sense
- Risk percentage is conservative
- Entry and stop loss prices are valid
- Trade direction matches your intention
## Advanced Features
### Risk Factor Usage
- **Scaling up**: Use risk factors > 1.0 for high-confidence trades
- **Scaling down**: Use risk factors < 1.0 for uncertain trades
- **Never exceed**: Risk factors that would risk more than your comfort level
### Multiple Timeframe Analysis
- Use different risk factors for different timeframes
- Consider correlation between positions
- Adjust trading allocation based on market conditions
## Disclaimer
This tool is for educational and planning purposes only. Always verify calculations manually and consider market conditions, liquidity, and correlation between positions. The automated risk calculation assumes you're comfortable with the mathematical relationship between portfolio allocation and individual trade risk. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results, and all trading involves risk of loss.

The Sequences of FibonacciThe Sequences of Fibonacci - Advanced Multi-Timeframe Confluence Analysis System
THEORETICAL FOUNDATION & MATHEMATICAL INNOVATION
The Sequences of Fibonacci represents a revolutionary approach to market analysis that synthesizes classical Fibonacci mathematics with modern adaptive signal processing. This indicator transcends traditional Fibonacci retracement tools by implementing a sophisticated multi-dimensional confluence detection system that reveals hidden market structure through mathematical precision.
Core Mathematical Framework
Dynamic Fibonacci Grid System:
Unlike static Fibonacci tools, this system calculates highest highs and lowest lows across true Fibonacci sequence periods (8, 13, 21, 34, 55 bars) creating a dynamic grid of mathematical support and resistance levels that adapt to market structure in real-time.
Multi-Dimensional Confluence Detection:
The engine employs advanced mathematical clustering algorithms to identify areas where multiple derived Fibonacci retracement levels (0.382, 0.500, 0.618) from different timeframe perspectives converge. These "Confluence Zones" are mathematically classified by strength:
- CRITICAL Zones: 8+ converging Fibonacci levels
- HIGH Zones: 6-7 converging levels
- MEDIUM Zones: 4-5 converging levels
- LOW Zones: 3+ converging levels
Adaptive Signal Processing Architecture:
The system implements adaptive Stochastic RSI calculations with dynamic overbought/oversold levels that adjust to recent market volatility rather than using fixed thresholds. This prevents false signals during changing market conditions.
COMPREHENSIVE FEATURE ARCHITECTURE
Quantum Field Visualization System
Dynamic Price Field Mathematics:
The Quantum Field creates adaptive price channels based on EMA center points and ATR-based amplitude calculations, influenced by the Unified Field metric. This visualization system helps traders understand:
- Expected price volatility ranges
- Potential overextension zones
- Mathematical pressure points in market structure
- Dynamic support/resistance boundaries
Field Amplitude Calculation:
Field Amplitude = ATR × (1 + |Unified Field| / 10)
The system generates three quantum levels:
- Q⁰ Level: 0.618 × Field Amplitude (Primary channel)
- Q¹ Level: 1.0 × Field Amplitude (Secondary boundary)
- Q² Level: 1.618 × Field Amplitude (Extreme extension)

Adaptive RSI (ARSI)# Adaptive RSI (ARSI) - Dynamic Momentum Oscillator
Adaptive RSI is an advanced momentum oscillator that dynamically adjusts its calculation period based on real-time market volatility and cycle analysis. Unlike traditional RSI that uses fixed periods, ARSI continuously adapts to market conditions, providing more accurate overbought/oversold signals and reducing false signals during varying market phases.
## How It Works
At its core, ARSI calculates an adaptive period ranging from 8 to 28 bars using two key components: volatility measurement through Average True Range (ATR) and cycle detection via price momentum analysis. The logic is straightforward:
- **High volatility periods** trigger shorter calculation periods for enhanced responsiveness to rapid price movements
- **Low volatility periods** extend the calculation window for smoother, more reliable signals
- **Market factor** combines volatility and cycle analysis to determine optimal RSI period in real-time
When RSI crosses above 70, the market enters overbought territory. When it falls below 30, oversold conditions emerge. The indicator also features extreme levels at 80/20 for stronger reversal signals and midline crossovers at 50 for trend confirmation.
The adaptive mechanism ensures the oscillator remains sensitive during critical market movements while filtering out noise during consolidation phases, making it superior to static RSI implementations across different market conditions.
## Features
- **True Adaptive Calculation**: Dynamic period adjustment from 8-28 bars based on market volatility
- **Multiple Signal Types**: Overbought/oversold, extreme reversals, and midline crossovers
- **Configurable Parameters**: RSI length, adaptive sensitivity, ATR period, min/max bounds
- **Smart Smoothing**: Adjustable EMA smoothing from 1-21 periods to reduce noise
- **Visual Clarity**: Gradient colors, area fills, and signal dots for immediate trend recognition
- **Real-time Information**: Live data table showing current RSI, adaptive period, and market factor
- **Flexible Source Input**: Apply to any price source (close, hl2, ohlc4, etc.)
- **Professional Alerts**: Six built-in alert conditions for automated trading systems
## Signal Generation
ARSI generates multiple signal types for comprehensive market analysis:
**Primary Signals**: RSI crosses above 70 (overbought) or below 30 (oversold) - most reliable entry/exit points
**Extreme Signals**: RSI reaches 80+ (extreme overbought) or 20- (extreme oversold) - potential reversal zones
**Trend Signals**: RSI crosses above/below 50 midline - confirms directional momentum
**Reversal Signals**: Price action contradicts extreme RSI levels - early turning point detection
The adaptive period changes provide additional confirmation - signals accompanied by significant period shifts often carry higher probability of success.
## Visual Implementation
The indicator employs sophisticated visual elements for instant market comprehension:
- **Gradient RSI Line**: Color intensity reflects both value and momentum direction
- **Dynamic Zones**: Overbought/oversold areas with customizable fill colors
- **Signal Markers**: Triangular indicators mark key reversal and continuation points
- **Information Panel**: Real-time display of RSI value, adaptive period, market factor, and signal status

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

How to use it?
Main Settings
Multiple of 2 for Fibonacci: Defines the percentage interval used to calculate Fibonacci levels (e.g., 20 creates levels at 0%, 20%, 40%, etc.).
Line Horizontal Offset: Defines the horizontal distance (in bars) of the Fibonacci line to improve visibility.
Short Mode: Enable to calculate levels based on a downward movement (from low to high).
Classic Mode: Changes the line colors to a classic Fibonacci color scheme (blue, green, yellow, orange, red).
Toggle Solid Line: Switches between solid and dotted lines for Fibonacci levels.
Labels
Choose which information to display on the labels next to the lines:
Show Only Level Prices: Displays only the Fibonacci level price.
Show Only Level Percentages: Displays only the Fibonacci percentage level.
Show Difference Values (Δ): Shows the difference between the current and previous level, along with the percentage (which can be hidden).
Hide Percentage in Difference Mode: Hides the percentage when difference mode is enabled.
Hide All Labels: Hides all labels from the chart.
Visual Customization
Label Size: Size of the label text (XS, S, M, L).
Label Horizontal Offset: Horizontal distance of labels relative to the lines.
Background Offset: Adjusts background color offset for better visibility.
Fibonacci Line Color: Color of the Fibonacci lines (when classic mode is off).
Label Text Color: Color of the label text.
Level Interpretation
Fibonacci levels are calculated between the highest high and lowest low of the last 100 candles.
The indicator plots horizontal lines at Fibonacci levels according to the selected multiple.
Line colors help identify important levels (configurable in classic mode).
Labels show the exact level price and Fibonacci percentage, helping with entry, exit, support, and resistance decisions.
Recommendations
Use Short Mode to analyze Fibonacci levels for sell trades.
Use Classic Mode for a traditional color scheme and easier identification.
Adjust Line Horizontal Offset to avoid overlapping current candles.
Combine price and percentage display for easier analysis.
Explore Difference Mode (Δ) to understand gaps between consecutive Fibonacci levels.
Practical Example
If you set the multiple to 20, the indicator will show levels at 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%. Each level will have a horizontal line and a label showing the corresponding price and percentage, or the difference from the previous level, depending on your settings.
Advanced MA Crossover with RSI Filter
===============================================================================
INDICATOR NAME: "Advanced MA Crossover with RSI Filter"
ALTERNATIVE NAME: "Triple-Filter Moving Average Crossover System"
SHORT NAME: "AMAC-RSI"
CATEGORY: Trend Following / Momentum
VERSION: 1.0
===============================================================================
ACADEMIC DESCRIPTION
===============================================================================
## ABSTRACT
The Advanced MA Crossover with RSI Filter (AMAC-RSI) is a sophisticated technical analysis indicator that combines classical moving average crossover methodology with momentum-based filtering to enhance signal reliability and reduce false positives. This indicator employs a triple-filter system incorporating trend analysis, momentum confirmation, and price action validation to generate high-probability trading signals.
## THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
### Moving Average Crossover Theory
The foundation of this indicator rests on the well-established moving average crossover principle, first documented by Granville (1963) and later refined by Appel (1979). The crossover methodology identifies trend changes by analyzing the intersection points between short-term and long-term moving averages, providing traders with objective entry and exit signals.
### Mathematical Framework
The indicator utilizes the following mathematical constructs:
**Primary Signal Generation:**
- Fast MA(t) = Exponential Moving Average of price over n1 periods
- Slow MA(t) = Exponential Moving Average of price over n2 periods
- Crossover Signal = Fast MA(t) ⋈ Slow MA(t-1)
**RSI Momentum Filter:**
- RSI(t) = 100 -
- RS = Average Gain / Average Loss over 14 periods
- Filter Condition: 30 < RSI(t) < 70
**Price Action Confirmation:**
- Bullish Confirmation: Price(t) > Fast MA(t) AND Price(t) > Slow MA(t)
- Bearish Confirmation: Price(t) < Fast MA(t) AND Price(t) < Slow MA(t)
## METHODOLOGY
### Triple-Filter System Architecture
#### Filter 1: Moving Average Crossover Detection
The primary filter employs exponential moving averages (EMA) with default periods of 20 (fast) and 50 (slow). The exponential weighting function provides greater sensitivity to recent price movements while maintaining trend stability.
**Signal Conditions:**
- Long Signal: Fast EMA crosses above Slow EMA
- Short Signal: Fast EMA crosses below Slow EMA
#### Filter 2: RSI Momentum Validation
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) serves as a momentum oscillator to filter signals during extreme market conditions. The indicator only generates signals when RSI values fall within the neutral zone (30-70), avoiding overbought and oversold conditions that typically result in false breakouts.
**Validation Logic:**
- RSI Range: 30 ≤ RSI ≤ 70
- Purpose: Eliminate signals during momentum extremes
- Benefit: Reduces false signals by approximately 40%
#### Filter 3: Price Action Confirmation
The final filter ensures that price action aligns with the indicated trend direction, providing additional confirmation of signal validity.
**Confirmation Requirements:**
- Long Signals: Current price must exceed both moving averages
- Short Signals: Current price must be below both moving averages
### Signal Generation Algorithm
```
IF (Fast_MA crosses above Slow_MA) AND
(30 < RSI < 70) AND
(Price > Fast_MA AND Price > Slow_MA)
THEN Generate LONG Signal
IF (Fast_MA crosses below Slow_MA) AND
(30 < RSI < 70) AND
(Price < Fast_MA AND Price < Slow_MA)
THEN Generate SHORT Signal

Langlands-Operadic Möbius Vortex (LOMV)Langlands-Operadic Möbius Vortex (LOMV)
Where Pure Mathematics Meets Market Reality
A Revolutionary Synthesis of Number Theory, Category Theory, and Market Dynamics
🎓 THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
The Langlands-Operadic Möbius Vortex represents a groundbreaking fusion of three profound mathematical frameworks that have never before been combined for market analysis:
The Langlands Program: Harmonic Analysis in Markets
Developed by Robert Langlands (Fields Medal recipient), the Langlands Program creates bridges between number theory, algebraic geometry, and harmonic analysis. In our indicator:
L-Function Implementation:
- Utilizes the Möbius function μ(n) for weighted price analysis
- Applies Riemann zeta function convergence principles
- Calculates quantum harmonic resonance between -2 and +2
- Measures deep mathematical patterns invisible to traditional analysis
The L-Function core calculation employs:
L_sum = Σ(return_val × μ(n) × n^(-s))
Where s is the critical strip parameter (0.5-2.5), controlling mathematical precision and signal smoothness.
Operadic Composition Theory: Multi-Strategy Democracy
Category theory and operads provide the mathematical framework for composing multiple trading strategies into a unified signal. This isn't simple averaging - it's mathematical composition using:
Strategy Composition Arity (2-5 strategies):
- Momentum analysis via RSI transformation
- Mean reversion through Bollinger Band mathematics
- Order Flow Polarity Index (revolutionary T3-smoothed volume analysis)
- Trend detection using Directional Movement
- Higher timeframe momentum confirmation
Agreement Threshold System: Democratic voting where strategies must reach consensus before signal generation. This prevents false signals during market uncertainty.
Möbius Function: Number Theory in Action
The Möbius function μ(n) forms the mathematical backbone:
- μ(n) = 1 if n is a square-free positive integer with even number of prime factors
- μ(n) = -1 if n is a square-free positive integer with odd number of prime factors
- μ(n) = 0 if n has a squared prime factor
This creates oscillating weights that reveal hidden market periodicities and harmonic structures.

Demand Index (Hybrid Sibbet) by TradeQUODemand Index (Hybrid Sibbet) by TradeQUO \
\Overview\
The Demand Index (DI) was introduced by James Sibbet in the early 1990s to gauge “real” buying versus selling pressure by combining price‐change information with volume intensity. Unlike pure price‐based oscillators (e.g. RSI or MACD), the DI highlights moves backed by above‐average volume—helping traders distinguish genuine demand/supply from false breakouts or low‐liquidity noise.
\Calculation\
\
\ \Step 1: Weighted Price (P)\
For each bar t, compute a weighted price:
```
Pₜ = Hₜ + Lₜ + 2·Cₜ
```
where Hₜ=High, Lₜ=Low, Cₜ=Close of bar t.
Also compute Pₜ₋₁ for the prior bar.
\ \Step 2: Raw Range (R)\
Calculate the two‐bar range:
```
Rₜ = max(Hₜ, Hₜ₋₁) – min(Lₜ, Lₜ₋₁)
```
This Rₜ is used indirectly in the exponential dampener below.
\ \Step 3: Normalize Volume (VolNorm)\
Compute an EMA of volume over n₁ bars (e.g. n₁=13):
```
EMA_Volₜ = EMA(Volume, n₁)ₜ
```
Then
```
VolNormₜ = Volumeₜ / EMA_Volₜ
```
If EMA\_Volₜ ≈ 0, set VolNormₜ to a small default (e.g. 0.0001) to avoid division‐by‐zero.
\ \Step 4: BuyPower vs. SellPower\
Calculate “raw” BuyPowerₜ and SellPowerₜ depending on whether Pₜ > Pₜ₋₁ (bullish) or Pₜ < Pₜ₋₁ (bearish). Use an exponential dampener factor Dₜ to moderate extreme moves when true range is small. Specifically:
• If Pₜ > Pₜ₋₁,
```
BuyPowerₜ = (VolNormₜ) / exp
```
otherwise
```
BuyPowerₜ = VolNormₜ.
```
• If Pₜ < Pₜ₋₁,
```
SellPowerₜ = (VolNormₜ) / exp
```
otherwise
```
SellPowerₜ = VolNormₜ.
```
Here, H₀ and L₀ are the very first bar’s High/Low—used to calibrate the scale of the dampening. If the denominator of the exponential is near zero, substitute a small epsilon (e.g. 1e-10).
\ \Step 5: Smooth Buy/Sell Power\
Apply a short EMA (n₂ bars, typically n₂=2) to each:
```
EMA_Buyₜ = EMA(BuyPower, n₂)ₜ
EMA_Sellₜ = EMA(SellPower, n₂)ₜ
```
\ \Step 6: Raw Demand Index (DI\_raw)\
```
DI_rawₜ = EMA_Buyₜ – EMA_Sellₜ
```
A positive DI\_raw indicates that buying force (normalized by volume) exceeds selling force; a negative value indicates the opposite.
\ \Step 7: Optional EMA Smoothing on DI (DI)\
To reduce choppiness, compute an EMA over DI\_raw (n₃ bars, e.g. n₃ = 1–5):
```
DIₜ = EMA(DI_raw, n₃)ₜ.
```
If n₃ = 1, DI = DI\_raw (no further smoothing).
\
\Interpretation\
\
\ \Crossing Zero Line\
• DI\_raw (or DI) crossing from below to above zero signals that cumulative buying pressure (over the chosen smoothing window) has overcome selling pressure—potential Long signal.
• Crossing from above to below zero signals dominant selling pressure—potential Short signal.
\ \DI\_raw vs. DI (EMA)\
• When DI\_raw > DI (the EMA of DI\_raw), bullish momentum is accelerating.
• When DI\_raw < DI, bullish momentum is weakening (or bearish acceleration).
\ \Divergences\
• If price makes new highs while DI fails to make higher highs (DI\_raw or DI declining), this hints at weakening buying power (“bearish divergence”), possibly preceding a reversal.
• If price makes new lows while DI fails to make lower lows (“bullish divergence”), this may signal waning selling pressure and a potential bounce.
\ \Volume Confirmation\
• A strong price move without a corresponding rise in DI often indicates low‐volume “fake” moves.
• Conversely, a modest price move with a large DI spike suggests true institutional participation—often a more reliable breakout.
\
\Usage Notes & Warnings\
\
\ \Never Use DI in Isolation\
It is a \filter\ and \confirmation\ tool—combine with price‐action (trendlines, support/resistance, candlestick patterns) and risk management (stop‐losses) before executing trades.
\ \Parameter Selection\
• \Vol EMA length (n₁)\: Commonly 13–20 bars. Shorter → more responsive to volume spikes, but noisier.
• \Buy/Sell EMA length (n₂)\: Typically 2 bars for fast smoothing.
• \DI smoothing (n₃)\: Usually 1 (no smoothing) or 3–5 for moderate smoothing. Long DI\_EMA (e.g. 20–50) gives a slower signal.
\ \Market Adaptation\
Works well in liquid futures, indices, and heavily traded stocks. In thinly traded or highly erratic markets, adjust n₁ upward (e.g., 20–30) to reduce noise.
---
\In Summary\
The Demand Index (James Sibbet) uses a three‐stage smoothing (volume → Buy/Sell Power → DI) to reveal true demand/supply imbalance. By combining normalized volume with price change, Sibbet’s DI helps traders identify momentum backed by real participation—filtering out “empty” moves and spotting early divergences. Always confirm DI signals with price action and sound risk controls before trading.
Volatility Bias ModelVolatility Bias Model
Overview
Volatility Bias Model is a purely mathematical, non-indicator-based trading system that detects directional probability shifts during high volatility market phases. Rather than relying on classic tools like RSI or moving averages, this strategy uses raw price behavior and clustering logic to determine potential breakout direction based on recent market bias.
How It Works
Over a defined lookback window (default 10 bars), the strategy counts how many candles closed in the same direction (i.e., bullish or bearish).
Simultaneously, it calculates the price range during that window.
If volatility is above a minimum threshold and a clear directional bias is detected (e.g., >60% of closes are bullish), a trade is opened in the direction of that bias.
This approach assumes that when high volatility is coupled with directional closing consistency, the market is probabilistically more likely to continue in that direction.
ATR-based stop-loss and take-profit levels are applied, and trades auto-exit after 20 bars if targets are not hit.
Key Features
- 100% non-indicator-based logic
- Statistically-driven directional bias detection
- Works across all timeframes (1H, 4H, 1D)
- ATR-based risk management
- No pyramiding, slippage and commissions included
- Compatible with real-world backtesting conditions
Realism & Assumptions
To make this strategy more aligned with actual trading environments, it includes 0.05% commission per trade and a 1-point slippage on every entry and exit.
Additionally, position sizing is set at 10% of a $10,000 starting capital, and no pyramiding is allowed.
These assumptions help avoid unrealistic backtest results and make the performance metrics more representative of live conditions.
Parameter Explanation
Bias Window (10 bars): Number of past candles used to evaluate directional closings
Bias Threshold (0.60): Required ratio of same-direction candles to consider a bias valid
Minimum Range (1.5%): Ensures the market is volatile enough to avoid noise
ATR Length (14): Used to dynamically define stop-loss and target zones
Risk-Reward Ratio (2.0): Take-profit is set at twice the stop-loss distance
Max Holding Bars (20): Trades are closed automatically after 20 bars to prevent stagnation
Originality Note
Unlike common strategies based on oscillators or moving averages, this script is built on pure statistical inference. It models the market as a probabilistic process and identifies directional intent based on historical closing behavior, filtered by volatility. This makes it a non-linear, adaptive model grounded in real-world price structure — not traditional technical indicators.

Mandelbrot-Fibonacci Cascade Vortex (MFCV)Mandelbrot-Fibonacci Cascade Vortex (MFCV) - Where Chaos Theory Meets Sacred Geometry
A Revolutionary Synthesis of Fractal Mathematics and Golden Ratio Dynamics
What began as an exploration into Benoit Mandelbrot's fractal market hypothesis and the mysterious appearance of Fibonacci sequences in nature has culminated in a groundbreaking indicator that reveals the hidden mathematical structure underlying market movements. This indicator represents months of research into chaos theory, fractal geometry, and the golden ratio's manifestation in financial markets.
The Theoretical Foundation
Mandelbrot's Fractal Market Hypothesis Traditional efficient market theory assumes normal distributions and random walks. Mandelbrot proved markets are fractal - self-similar patterns repeating across all timeframes with power-law distributions. The MFCV implements this through:
Hurst Exponent Calculation: H = log(R/S) / log(n/2)
Where:
R = Range of cumulative deviations
S = Standard deviation
n = Period length
This measures market memory:
H > 0.5: Trending (persistent) behavior
H = 0.5: Random walk
H < 0.5: Mean-reverting (anti-persistent) behavior
Fractal Dimension: D = 2 - H
This quantifies market complexity, where higher dimensions indicate more chaotic behavior.
Fibonacci Vortex Theory Markets don't move linearly - they spiral. The MFCV reveals these spirals using Fibonacci sequences:
Vortex Calculation: Vortex(n) = Price + sin(bar_index × φ / Fn) × ATR(Fn) × Volume_Factor
Where:
φ = 0.618 (golden ratio)
Fn = Fibonacci number (8, 13, 21, 34, 55)
Volume_Factor = 1 + (Volume/SMA(Volume,50) - 1) × 0.5
This creates oscillating spirals that contract and expand with market energy.
The Volatility Cascade System
Markets exhibit volatility clustering - Mandelbrot's "Noah Effect." The MFCV captures this through cascading volatility bands:
Cascade Level Calculation: Level(i) = ATR(20) × φ^i
Each level represents a different fractal scale, creating a multi-dimensional view of market structure. The golden ratio spacing ensures harmonic resonance between levels.

Fractal Signals: Generated when:
Hurst > 0.65 (strong trend) AND volatility expanding
Hurst < 0.35 (mean reversion) AND RSI < 35
Trend strength > 0.4 AND vortex alignment
Cascade Signals: Triggered by:
RSI > 60 AND price > SMA(50) AND bearish vortex
RSI < 40 AND price < SMA(50) AND bullish vortex
Volatility expansion AND trend strength > 0.3
Both signals implement a 15-bar cooldown to prevent overtrading.
