Overview
The "WaveTrend With Divergences & RSI(STOCH) Divergences" is an advanced Pine Script™ indicator designed for TradingView, offering a multi-dimensional analysis of market conditions. This script integrates several technical indicators—WaveTrend, Money Flow Index (MFI), RSI, and Stochastic RSI—into a cohesive tool that identifies both regular and hidden divergences across these indicators. These divergences can indicate potential market reversals and provide critical trading opportunities.
This indicator is not just a simple combination of popular tools; it offers extensive customization options, organized data presentation, and valuable trading signals that are easy to interpret. Whether you're a day trader or a long-term investor, this script enhances your ability to make informed decisions.
Originality and Usefulness
The originality of this script lies in its integration and the synergy it creates among the indicators used. Rather than merely combining multiple indicators, this script allows them to work together, enhancing each other's strengths. For example, by identifying divergences across WaveTrend, RSI, and Stochastic RSI simultaneously, the script provides multiple layers of confirmation, which reduces the likelihood of false signals and increases the reliability of trading signals.
The usefulness of this script is apparent in its ability to offer a consolidated view of market dynamics. It not only simplifies the analytical process by combining different indicators but also provides deeper insights through its divergence detection features. This comprehensive approach is designed to help traders identify potential market reversals, confirm trends, and ultimately make more informed trading decisions.
How the Components Work Together
1. Cross-Validation of Signals
WaveTrend: This indicator is primarily used to identify overbought and oversold conditions, as well as potential buy and sell signals. WaveTrend's ability to smooth price data and reduce noise makes it a reliable tool for identifying trend reversals.
RSI & Stochastic RSI: These momentum oscillators are used to measure the speed and change of price movements. While RSI identifies general overbought and oversold conditions, Stochastic RSI offers a more granular view by tracking the RSI’s level relative to its high-low range over a period of time. When these indicators align with WaveTrend signals, it adds a layer of confirmation that enhances the reliability of the signals.
Money Flow Index (MFI): This volume-weighted indicator assesses the inflow and outflow of money in an asset, giving insights into buying and selling pressure. By analyzing the MFI alongside WaveTrend and RSI indicators, the script can cross-validate signals, ensuring that buy or sell signals are supported by actual market volume.
Example Bullish scenario:
When a bullish divergence is detected on the RSI and confirmed by a corresponding bullish signal on the WaveTrend, along with an increasing Money Flow Index, the probability of a successful trade setup increases. This cross-validation minimizes the risk of acting on false signals, which might occur when relying on a single indicator.
Example Bearish scenario:
When a bearish divergence is detected on the RSI and confirmed by a corresponding bearish signal on the WaveTrend, along with an decreasing Money Flow Index, the probability of a successful trade setup increases. This cross-validation minimizes the risk of acting on false signals, which might occur when relying on a single indicator.
2. Divergence Detection and Market Reversals
Regular Divergences: Occur when the price action and an indicator (like RSI or WaveTrend) move in opposite directions. Regular bullish divergence signals a potential upward reversal when the price makes a lower low while the indicator makes a higher low. Conversely, regular bearish divergence suggests a downward reversal when the price makes a higher high, but the indicator makes a lower high.
Hidden Divergences: These occur when the price action and indicator move in the same direction, but with different momentum. Hidden bullish divergence suggests the continuation of an uptrend, while hidden bearish divergence suggests the continuation of a downtrend. By detecting these divergences across multiple indicators, the script identifies potential trend reversals or continuations with greater accuracy.
Example: The script might detect a regular bullish divergence on the WaveTrend while simultaneously identifying a hidden bullish divergence on the RSI. This combination suggests that while a trend reversal is possible, the overall market sentiment remains bullish, providing a nuanced view of the market.

3. Trend Strength and Sentiment Analysis
WaveTrend: Measures the strength and direction of the trend. By identifying the extremes of market sentiment (overbought and oversold levels), WaveTrend provides early signals for potential reversals.
Money Flow Index (MFI): Assesses the underlying sentiment by analyzing the flow of money. A rising MFI during an uptrend confirms strong buying pressure, while a falling MFI during a downtrend confirms selling pressure. This helps traders assess whether a trend is likely to continue or reverse.
RSI & Stochastic RSI: Offer a momentum-based perspective on the trend’s strength. High RSI or Stochastic RSI values indicate that the asset may be overbought, suggesting a potential reversal. Conversely, low values indicate oversold conditions, signaling a possible upward reversal.
Example:
During a strong uptrend, the WaveTrend & RSI's might signal overbought conditions, suggesting caution. If the MFI also shows decreasing buying pressure and the RSI reaches extreme levels, these indicators together suggest that the trend might be weakening, and a reversal could be imminent.
Example:
During a strong downtrend, the WaveTrend & RSI's might signal oversold conditions, suggesting caution. If the MFI also shows increasing buying pressure and the RSI reaches extreme levels, these indicators together suggest that the trend might be weakening, and a reversal could be imminent.
Conclusion
The "WaveTrend With Divergences & RSI(STOCH) Divergences" script offers a powerful, integrated approach to technical analysis by combining trend, momentum, and sentiment indicators into a single tool. Its unique value lies in the cross-validation of signals, the ability to detect divergences, and the comprehensive view it provides of market conditions. By offering traders multiple layers of analysis and customization options, this script is designed to enhance trading decisions, reduce false signals, and provide clearer insights into market dynamics.

Display of RSI Divergence Settings:
RSI Divergence Lookback Explanation
The RSI Divergence settings allow traders to customize the parameters for detecting divergences between the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and price action. Divergences occur when the price moves in the opposite direction to the RSI, potentially signaling a trend reversal. These settings help refine the accuracy of divergence detection by adjusting the lookback period and range. ( NOTE: This setting only imply to the RSI. This doesn't effect the STOCHASTIC RSI. )
RSI Divergence Lookback Input Settings:
Lookback Left: Default: 10
What it is: The number of bars to look back from the current bar to detect a potential divergence.
What it does: Defines the left-side lookback period for identifying pivot points in the RSI, which are used to spot divergences. A longer lookback period may capture more significant trends but could also miss shorter-term divergences.
Example: A setting of 10 bars means the script will consider pivot points up to 10 bars before the current bar to check for divergence patterns.
Lookback Right: Default: 1
What it is: The number of bars to look forward from the current bar to complete the divergence pattern.
What it does: Defines the right-side lookback period for confirming a potential divergence. This setting helps ensure that the identified divergence is valid by allowing the script to check subsequent bars for confirmation.
Example: A setting of 1 bar means the script will look at the next bar to confirm the divergence pattern, ensuring that the signal is reliable.
Lookback Range Min: Default: 5
What it is: The minimum range of bars required to detect a valid divergence.
What it does: Sets a lower bound on the range of bars considered for divergence detection. A lower minimum range might capture more frequent but possibly less significant divergences.
Example: Setting the minimum range to 5 ensures that only divergences spanning at least 5 bars are considered, filtering out very short-term patterns.
Lookback Range Max: Default: 60
What it is: The maximum range of bars within which a divergence can be detected.
What it does: Sets an upper bound on the range of bars considered for divergence detection. A larger maximum range might capture more significant divergences but could also include less relevant long-term patterns.
Example: Setting the maximum range to 60 bars allows the script to detect divergences over a longer timeframe, capturing more extended divergence patterns that could indicate major trend reversals.

Stoch_RSI_ChartEnhanced Stochastic RSI Divergence Indicator with VWAP Filter for Charts
This custom indicator builds upon the classic Stochastic RSI to automatically detect both regular and hidden divergences. It’s designed to help traders spot potential market reversals or continuations using two methods for divergence detection (fractal‑ and pivot‑based) while offering optional VWAP filtering for confirmation.
Key Features
Stoch RSI Calculation
The indicator computes a smoothed Stoch RSI using configurable parameters for RSI length, stochastic length, and smoothing periods. An option to average the K and D lines provides a cleaner momentum view.
Divergence Detection via Fractals & Pivots
Fractal-Based Divergences:
Looks for 4-candle patterns to identify higher-highs or lower-lows in the price that are not confirmed by the oscillator, signaling potential reversals.
Pivot-Based Divergences:
Utilizes TradingView’s built-in pivot functions to find divergence conditions over adjustable pivot ranges.
Regular vs. Hidden Divergences:
Regular Divergence: Occurs when price makes a new extreme (higher high or lower low) while the Stoch RSI fails to follow suit.
Hidden Divergence: Indicates potential trend continuations when the oscillator diverges against the established price trend.
Optional VWAP Filtering
The script includes two optional VWAP filters that work as follows:
VWAP Filter on Regular Divergences:
Only confirms regular divergence signals if the current price satisfies the VWAP condition (e.g., price is above VWAP for bullish signals, below VWAP for bearish signals).
VWAP Filter on Hidden Divergences:
Similarly, hidden divergence signals are validated only when the price meets specific VWAP conditions, adding an extra layer of trend confirmation.
Customizable Alerts and Visual Labels
Easily configure divergence labels (“B” for bullish, “S” for bearish) and enable up to four alert conditions for real‑time notifications when a divergence occurs.

Savitzky-Golay Z-Score [BackQuant]Savitzky-Golay Z-Score
The Savitzky-Golay Z-Score is a powerful trading indicator that combines the precision of the Savitzky-Golay filter with the statistical strength of the Z-Score. This advanced indicator is designed to detect trend shifts, identify overbought or oversold conditions, and highlight potential divergences in the market, providing traders with a unique edge in detecting momentum changes and trend reversals.
Core Concept: Savitzky-Golay Filter
The Savitzky-Golay filter is a widely-used smoothing technique that preserves important signal features such as peak detection while filtering out noise. In this indicator, the filter is applied to price data (default set to HLC3) to smooth out volatility and produce a cleaner trend line. By specifying the window size and polynomial degree, traders can fine-tune the degree of smoothing to match their preferred trading style or market conditions.
Z-Score: Measuring Deviation
The Z-Score is a statistical measure that indicates how far the current price is from its mean in terms of standard deviations. In trading, the Z-Score can be used to identify extreme price moves that are likely to revert or continue trending. A positive Z-Score means the price is above the mean, while a negative Z-Score indicates the price is below the mean.
This script calculates the Z-Score based on the Savitzky-Golay filtered price, enabling traders to detect moments when the price is diverging from its typical range and may present an opportunity for a trade.
Long and Short Conditions
The Savitzky-Golay Z-Score generates clear long and short signals based on the Z-Score value:
Long Signals : When the Z-Score is positive, indicating the price is above its smoothed mean, a long signal is generated. The color of the bars turns green, signaling upward momentum.
Short Signals : When the Z-Score is negative, indicating the price is below its smoothed mean, a short signal is generated. The bars turn red, signaling downward momentum.
These signals allow traders to follow the prevailing trend with confidence, using statistical backing to avoid false signals from short-term volatility.
Standard Deviation Levels and Extreme Levels
This indicator includes several features to help visualize overbought and oversold conditions:
Standard Deviation Levels: The script plots horizontal lines at +1, +2, -1, and -2 standard deviations. These levels provide a reference for how far the current price is from the mean, allowing traders to quickly identify when the price is moving into extreme territory.
Extreme Levels: Additional extreme levels at +3 and +4 (and their negative counterparts) are plotted to highlight areas where the price is highly likely to revert. These extreme levels provide important insight into market conditions that are far outside the norm, signaling caution or potential reversal zones.
The indicator also adapts the color shading of these extreme zones based on the Z-Score’s strength. For example, the area between +3 and +4 is shaded with a stronger color when the Z-Score approaches these values, giving a visual representation of market pressure.
Divergences: Detecting Hidden and Regular Signals
A key feature of the Savitzky-Golay Z-Score is its ability to detect bullish and bearish divergences, both regular and hidden:
Regular Bullish Divergence: This occurs when the price makes a lower low while the Z-Score forms a higher low. It signals that bearish momentum is weakening, and a bullish reversal could be near.
Hidden Bullish Divergence: This divergence occurs when the price makes a higher low while the Z-Score forms a lower low. It signals that bullish momentum may continue after a temporary pullback.
Regular Bearish Divergence: This occurs when the price makes a higher high while the Z-Score forms a lower high, signaling that bullish momentum is weakening and a bearish reversal may be near.
Hidden Bearish Divergence: This divergence occurs when the price makes a lower high while the Z-Score forms a higher high, indicating that bearish momentum may continue after a temporary rally.
These divergences are plotted directly on the chart, making it easier for traders to spot when the price and momentum are out of sync and when a potential reversal may occur.
Customization and Visualization
The Savitzky-Golay Z-Score offers a range of customization options to fit different trading styles:
Window Size and Polynomial Degree: Adjust the window size and polynomial degree of the Savitzky-Golay filter to control how much smoothing is applied to the price data.
Z-Score Lookback Period: Set the lookback period for calculating the Z-Score, allowing traders to fine-tune the sensitivity to short-term or long-term price movements.
Display Options: Choose whether to display standard deviation levels, extreme levels, and divergence labels on the chart.
Bar Color: Color the price bars based on trend direction, with green for bullish trends and red for bearish trends, allowing traders to easily visualize the current momentum.
Divergences: Enable or disable divergence detection, and adjust the lookback periods for pivots used to detect regular and hidden divergences.
Alerts and Automation
To ensure you never miss an important signal, the indicator includes built-in alert conditions for the following events:
Positive Z-Score (Long Signal): Triggers an alert when the Z-Score crosses above zero, indicating a potential buying opportunity.
Negative Z-Score (Short Signal): Triggers an alert when the Z-Score crosses below zero, signaling a potential short opportunity.
Shifting Momentum: Alerts when the Z-Score is shifting up or down, providing early warning of changing market conditions.
These alerts can be configured to notify you via email, SMS, or app notification, allowing you to stay on top of the market without having to constantly monitor the chart.
Trading Applications
The Savitzky-Golay Z-Score is a versatile tool that can be applied across multiple trading strategies:
Trend Following: By smoothing the price and calculating the Z-Score, this indicator helps traders follow the prevailing trend while avoiding false signals from short-term volatility.
Mean Reversion: The Z-Score highlights moments when the price is far from its mean, helping traders identify overbought or oversold conditions and capitalize on potential reversals.
Divergence Trading: Regular and hidden divergences between the Z-Score and price provide early warning of trend reversals, allowing traders to enter trades at opportune moments.
Final Thoughts
The Savitzky-Golay Z-Score is an advanced statistical tool designed to provide a clearer view of market trends and momentum. By applying the Savitzky-Golay filter and Z-Score analysis, this indicator reduces noise and highlights key areas where the market may reverse or accelerate, giving traders a significant edge in understanding price behavior.
Whether you’re a trend follower or a reversal trader, this indicator offers the flexibility and insights you need to navigate complex markets with confidence.
Nef33-Volume Footprint ApproximationDescription of the "Volume Footprint Approximation" Indicator
Purpose
The "Volume Footprint Approximation" indicator is a tool designed to assist traders in analyzing market volume dynamics and anticipating potential trend changes in price. It is inspired by the concept of a volume footprint chart, which visualizes the distribution of trading volume across different price levels. However, since TradingView does not provide detailed intrabar data for all users, this indicator approximates the behavior of a footprint chart by using available volume and price data (open, close, volume) to classify volume as buy or sell, calculate volume delta, detect imbalances, and generate trend change signals.
The indicator is particularly useful for identifying areas of high buying or selling activity, imbalances between supply and demand, delta divergences, and potential reversal points in the market. It provides specific signals for bullish and bearish trend changes, making it suitable for traders looking to trade reversals or confirm trends.
How It Works
The indicator uses volume and price data from each candlestick to perform the following calculations:
Volume Classification:
Classifies the volume of each candlestick as "buy" or "sell" based on price movement:
If the closing price is higher than the opening price (close > open), the volume is classified as "buy."
If the closing price is lower than the opening price (close < open), the volume is classified as "sell."
If the closing price equals the opening price (close == open), it compares with the previous close to determine the direction:
If the current close is higher than the previous close, it is classified as "buy."
If the current close is lower than the previous close, it is classified as "sell."
If the current close equals the previous close, the classification from the previous bar is used.
Delta Calculation:
Calculates the volume delta as the difference between buy volume and sell volume (buyVolume - sellVolume).
A positive delta indicates more buy volume; a negative delta indicates more sell volume.
Imbalance Detection:
Identifies imbalances between buy and sell volume:
A buy imbalance occurs when buy volume exceeds sell volume by a defined percentage (default is 300%).
A sell imbalance occurs when sell volume exceeds buy volume by the same percentage.
Delta Divergence Detection:
Positive Delta Divergence: Occurs when the price is falling (for at least 2 bars) but the delta is increasing or becomes positive, indicating that buyers are entering despite the price decline.
Negative Delta Divergence: Occurs when the price is rising (for at least 2 bars) but the delta is decreasing or becomes negative, indicating that sellers are entering despite the price increase.
Trend Change Signals:
Bullish Signal (trendChangeBullish): Generated when the following conditions are met:
There is a positive delta divergence.
The delta has moved from a negative value (e.g., -500) to a positive value (e.g., +200) over the last 3 bars.
There is a buy imbalance.
The price is near a historical support level (approximated as the lowest low of the last 50 bars).
Bearish Signal (trendChangeBearish): Generated when the following conditions are met:
There is a negative delta divergence.
The delta has moved from a positive value (e.g., +500) to a negative value (e.g., -200) over the last 3 bars.
There is a sell imbalance.
The price is near a historical resistance level (approximated as the highest high of the last 50 bars).
Visual Elements
The indicator is displayed in a separate panel below the price chart (overlay=false) and includes the following elements:
Volume Histograms:
Buy Volume: Represented by a green histogram. Shows the volume classified as "buy."
Sell Volume: Represented by a red histogram. Shows the volume classified as "sell."
Note: The histograms overlap, and the last plotted histogram (red) takes visual precedence, meaning the sell volume may cover the buy volume if it is larger.
Delta Line:
Delta Volume: Represented by a blue line. Shows the difference between buy and sell volume.
A line above zero indicates more buy volume; a line below zero indicates more sell volume.
A dashed gray horizontal line marks the zero level for easier interpretation.
Imbalance Backgrounds:
Buy Imbalance: Light green background when buy volume exceeds sell volume by the defined percentage.
Sell Imbalance: Light red background when sell volume exceeds buy volume by the defined percentage.
Divergence Backgrounds:
Positive Delta Divergence: Lime green background when a positive delta divergence is detected.
Negative Delta Divergence: Fuchsia background when a negative delta divergence is detected.
Trend Change Signals:
Bullish Signal: Green label with the text "Bullish Trend Change" when the conditions for a bullish trend change are met.
Bearish Signal: Red label with the text "Bearish Trend Change" when the conditions for a bearish trend change are met.
Information Labels:
Below each bar, a label displays:
Total Vol: The total volume of the bar.
Delta: The delta volume value.
Alerts
The indicator generates the following alerts:
Positive Delta Divergence: "Positive Delta Divergence Detected! Price is falling, but delta is increasing."
Negative Delta Divergence: "Negative Delta Divergence Detected! Price is rising, but delta is decreasing."
Bullish Trend Change Signal: "Bullish Trend Change Signal! Positive Delta Divergence, Delta Rise, Buy Imbalance, and Near Support."
Bearish Trend Change Signal: "Bearish Trend Change Signal! Negative Delta Divergence, Delta Drop, Sell Imbalance, and Near Resistance."
These alerts can be configured in TradingView to receive real-time notifications.
Adjustable Parameters
The indicator allows customization of the following parameters:
Imbalance Threshold (%): The percentage required to detect an imbalance between buy and sell volume (default is 300%).
Lookback Period for Divergence: Number of bars to look back for detecting price and delta trends (default is 2 bars).
Support/Resistance Lookback Period: Number of bars to look back for identifying historical support and resistance levels (default is 50 bars).
Delta High Threshold (Bearish): Minimum delta value 2 bars ago for the bearish signal (default is +500).
Delta Low Threshold (Bearish): Maximum delta value in the current bar for the bearish signal (default is -200).
Delta Low Threshold (Bullish): Maximum delta value 2 bars ago for the bullish signal (default is -500).
Delta High Threshold (Bullish): Minimum delta value in the current bar for the bullish signal (default is +200).
Practical Use
The indicator is useful for the following purposes:
Identifying Trend Changes:
The trend change signals (trendChangeBullish and trendChangeBearish) indicate potential price reversals. For example, a bullish signal near a support level may be an opportunity to enter a long position.
Detecting Divergences:
Delta divergences (positive and negative) can anticipate trend changes by showing a disagreement between price movement and underlying buying/selling pressure.
Finding Key Levels:
Imbalances (green and red backgrounds) often coincide with support and resistance levels, helping to identify areas where the market might react.
Confirming Trends:
A consistently positive delta in an uptrend or a negative delta in a downtrend can confirm the strength of the trend.
Identifying Failed Auctions:
Although not detected automatically, you can manually identify failed auctions by observing a price move to new highs/lows with decreasing volume in the direction of the move.
Limitations
Intrabar Data: It does not use detailed intrabar data, making it less precise than a native footprint chart.
Approximations: Volume classification and support/resistance detection are approximations, which may lead to false signals.
Volume Dependency: It requires reliable volume data, so it may be less effective on assets with inaccurate volume data (e.g., some forex pairs).
False Signals: Divergences and imbalances do not always indicate a trend change, especially in strongly trending markets.
Recommendations
Combine with Other Indicators: Use tools like RSI, MACD, support/resistance levels, or candlestick patterns to confirm signals.
Trade on Higher Timeframes: Signals are more reliable on higher timeframes like 1-hour or 4-hour charts.
Perform Backtesting: Evaluate the indicator's accuracy on historical data to adjust parameters and improve effectiveness.
Adjust Parameters: Modify thresholds (e.g., imbalanceThreshold or supportResistanceLookback) based on the asset and timeframe you are trading.
Conclusion
The "Volume Footprint Approximation" indicator is a powerful tool for analyzing volume dynamics and anticipating price trend changes. By classifying volume, calculating delta, detecting imbalances and divergences, and generating trend change signals, it provides traders with valuable insights into market buying and selling pressure. While it has limitations due to the lack of intrabar data, it can be highly effective when used in combination with other technical analysis tools and on assets with reliable volume data.

Constance Brown RSI with Composite IndexConstance Brown RSI with Composite Index
Overview
This indicator combines Constance Brown's RSI interpretation methodology with a Composite Index and ATR Distance to VWAP measurement to provide a comprehensive trading tool. It helps identify trends, momentum shifts, overbought/oversold conditions, and potential reversal points.
Key Features
Color-coded RSI zones for immediate trend identification
Composite Index for momentum analysis and divergence detection
ATR Distance to VWAP for identifying extreme price deviations
Automatic divergence detection for early reversal warnings
Pre-configured alerts for key trading signals
How to Use This Indicator
Trend Identification
The RSI line changes color based on its position:
Blue zone (RSI > 50): Bullish trend - look for buying opportunities
Purple zone (RSI < 50): Bearish trend - look for selling opportunities
Gray zone (RSI 40-60): Neutral/transitional market - prepare for potential breakout
The 40-50 area (light blue fill) acts as support during uptrends, while the 50-60 area (light purple fill) acts as resistance during downtrends.
// From the code:
upTrendZone = rsiValue > 50 and rsiValue <= 90
downTrendZone = rsiValue < 50 and rsiValue >= 10
neutralZone = rsiValue > 40 and rsiValue < 60
rsiColor = neutralZone ? neutralRSI : upTrendZone ? upTrendRSI : downTrendRSI
Momentum Analysis
The Composite Index (fuchsia line) provides momentum confirmation:
Values above 50 indicate positive momentum
Values below 40 indicate negative momentum
Crossing above/below these thresholds signals potential momentum shifts
// From the code:
compositeIndexRaw = rsiChange / ta.stdev(rsiValue, rsiLength)
compositeIndex = ta.sma(compositeIndexRaw, compositeSmoothing)
compositeScaled = compositeIndex * 10 + 50 // Scaled to fit 0-100 range
Overbought/Oversold Detection
The ATR Distance to VWAP table in the top-right corner shows how far price has moved from VWAP in terms of ATR units:
Extreme positive values (orange/red): Potentially overbought
Extreme negative values (purple/red): Potentially oversold
Near zero (gray): Price near average value
// From the code:
priceDistance = (close - vwapValue) / ta.atr(atrPeriod)
// Color coding based on distance value
Divergence Trading
The indicator automatically detects divergences between the Composite Index and price:
Bullish divergence: Price makes lower low but Composite Index makes higher low
Bearish divergence: Price makes higher high but Composite Index makes lower high
// From the code:
divergenceBullish = ta.lowest(compositeIndex, rsiLength) > ta.lowest(close, rsiLength)
divergenceBearish = ta.highest(compositeIndex, rsiLength) < ta.highest(close, rsiLength)
Trading Strategies
Trend Following
1. Identify the trend using RSI color:
Blue = Uptrend, Purple = Downtrend
2. Wait for pullbacks to support/resistance zones:
In uptrends: Buy when RSI pulls back to 40-50 zone and bounces
In downtrends: Sell when RSI rallies to 50-60 zone and rejects
3. Confirm with Composite Index:
Uptrends: Composite Index stays above 50 or quickly returns above it
Downtrends: Composite Index stays below 50 or quickly returns below it
4. Manage risk using ATR Distance:
Take profits when ATR Distance reaches extreme values
Place stops beyond recent swing points
Reversal Trading
1. Look for divergences
Bullish: Price makes lower low but Composite Index makes higher low
Bearish: Price makes higher high but Composite Index makes lower high
2. Confirm with ATR Distance:
Extreme readings suggest potential reversals
3. Wait for RSI zone transition:
Bullish: RSI crosses above 40 (purple to neutral/blue)
Bearish: RSI crosses below 60 (blue to neutral/purple)
4. Enter after confirmation:
Use candlestick patterns for precise entry
Place stops beyond the divergence point
Four pre-configured alerts are available:
Momentum High: Composite Index above 50
Momentum Low: Composite Index below 40
Bullish Divergence: Composite Index higher low
Bearish Divergence: Composite Index lower high
Customization
Adjust these parameters to optimize for your trading style:
RSI Length: Default 14, lower for more sensitivity, higher for fewer signals
Composite Index Smoothing: Default 10, lower for quicker signals, higher for less noise
ATR Period: Default 14, affects the ATR Distance to VWAP calculation
This indicator works well across various markets and timeframes, though the default settings are optimized for daily charts. Adjust parameters for shorter or longer timeframes as needed.
Happy trading!
Smart Money Oscillator [ChartPrime]The "Smart Money Oscillator " is a premium and discount zone oscillator with BOS and CHoCH built in for further analysis of price action. This indicator works by first determining the the premium and discount zones by using pivot points and high/lows. The top of this oscillator represents the current premium zone while the bottom half of this oscillator represents the discount zone. This oscillator functionally works like a stochastic oscillator with more sophisticated upper and lower bounds generated using smart money concept theories. We have included a moving average to allow the user to visualize the currant momentum in the oscillator. Another key feature we have included lagging divergences to help traders visualize potential reversal conditions.
Understanding the concepts of Premium and Discount zones, as well as Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH), is crucial for traders using the Smart Money Oscillator. These concepts are rooted in market structure analysis, which involves studying price levels and movements.
Premium Zone is where the price is considered to be relatively high or 'overbought'. In this zone, prices have risen significantly and may indicate that the asset is becoming overvalued, potentially leading to a reversal or slowdown in the upward trend.
The Discount Zone represents a 'discount' or 'oversold' area. Here, prices have fallen substantially, suggesting that the asset might be undervalued. This could be an indicator of a potential upward reversal or a pause in the downward trend.
Break of Structure (BoS) is about the continuation of a trend. In a bullish trend, a BoS is identified by the break of a recent higher high. In a bearish trend, it's the break of a recent Lower Low. BoS indicates that the trend is strong and likely to continue in its current direction. It's a sign of strength in the prevailing trend, whether up or down.
Change of Character (CHoCH) is an indication of a potential end to a trend. It occurs when there's a significant change in the market's behavior, contradicting the current trend. For example, in an uptrend characterized by higher highs and higher lows, a CHoCH may occur if a new high is formed but then is followed by an impulsive move downwards. This suggests that the bullish trend may be weakening and a bearish reversal could be imminent. CHoCH is essentially a sign of trend exhaustion and potential reversal.
With each consecutive BoS, the signal line of the oscillator will deepen in color. This allows you to visually see the strength of the current trend. The maximum strength of the trend is found by keeping track of the maximum number of consecutive BoS's within a window of 10. This calculation excludes periods without any BoS's to allow for a more stable max.
Quick Update is a feature that implements a more aggressive algorithm to update the highs and lows. Instead of updating the pivot points exclusively to update the range levels, it will attempt to use the current historical highs/lows to update the bounds. This results in a more responsive range at the cost of stability. There are pros and cons for both settings. With Quick Update disabled, the indicator will allow for strong reversals to register without the indicator maxing out. With Quick Update enabled, the indicator will show shorter term extremes with the risk of the signal being pinned to the extremities during strong trends or large movements. With Quick Update disabled, the oscillator prioritizes stability, using a more historical perspective to set its bounds. When Quick Update is enabled, the oscillator becomes more responsive, adjusting its bounds rapidly to reflect the latest market movements.
The Scale Offset feature allows the indicator to break the boundaries of the oscillator. This can be useful when the market is breaking highs or lows allowing the user to identify extremities in price. With Scale Offset disabled the oscillator will always remain inside of the boundaries because the extremities will be updated instantly. When this feature is enabled it will update the boundaries one step behind instead of updating it instantly. This allows the user to more easily see overbought and oversold conditions at the cost of incurring a single bar lag to the boundaries. Generally this is a good idea as this behavior makes the oscillator more sensitive to recent price spikes or drops, reflecting sudden market movements more accurately. It accentuates the extremities of the market conditions, potentially offering a more aggressive analysis. The main trade-off with the Scale Offset feature is between sensitivity and potential overreaction. It offers a more immediate and exaggerated reflection of market conditions but might also lead to misinterpretations in certain scenarios, especially in highly volatile markets.
Divergence is used to predict potential trend reversals. It occurs when the price of an asset and the reading of an oscillator move in opposite directions. This discrepancy can signal a weakening of the current trend and possibly indicate a potential reversal.
Divergence doesn't always lead to a trend reversal, but it's a warning sign that the current trend might be weakening. Divergence can sometimes give false signals, particularly in strongly trending markets where the oscillator may remain in overbought or oversold conditions for extended periods. The lagging nature of using pivot points to calculate divergences means that all divergences are limited by the pivot look forward input. The upside of using a longer look forward is that the divergences will be more accurate. The obvious con here is that it will be more delayed and might be useless by the time it appears. Its recommended to use the built in divergences as a way to learn how these are formed so you can make your own in real time.
By default, the oscillator uses a smoothing of 3 to allow for a more price like behavior while still being rather smooth compared to raw price data. Conversely, you can increase this value to make this indicator behave smoother. Something to keep in mind is that the amount of delay from real time is equal to half of the smoothing period.
We have included a verity of alerts in this indicator. Here is a list of all of the available alerts: Bullish BOS, Bearish BOS, Bullish CHoCH, Bearish CHoCH, Bullish Divergence, Hidden Bullish Divergence, Bearish Divergence, Hidden Bearish Divergence, Cross Over Average, Cross Under Average.

Absolute Strength Index [ASI] (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Absolute Strength Index (ASI) is a next-generation oscillator designed to measure the strength and direction of price movements by leveraging percentile-based normalization of historical returns. Developed by Zeiierman, this indicator offers a highly visual and intuitive approach to identifying market conditions, trend strength, and divergence opportunities.
By dynamically scaling price returns into a bounded oscillator (-10 to +10), the ASI helps traders spot overbought/oversold conditions, trend reversals, and momentum changes with enhanced precision. It also incorporates advanced features like divergence detection and adaptive signal smoothing for versatile trading applications.
█ How It Works
The ASI's core calculation methodology revolves around analyzing historical price returns, classifying them into top and bottom percentiles, and normalizing the current price movement within this framework. Here's a breakdown of its key components:
⚪ Returns Lookback
The ASI evaluates historical price returns over a user-defined period (Returns Lookback) to measure recent price behavior. This lookback window determines the sensitivity of the oscillator:
Shorter Lookback: Higher responsiveness to recent price movements, suitable for scalping or high-volatility assets.
Longer Lookback: Smoother oscillator behavior is ideal for identifying larger trends and avoiding false signals.
⚪ Percentile-Based Thresholds
The ASI categorizes returns into two groups:
Top Percentile (Winners): The upper X% of returns, representing the strongest upward price moves.
Bottom Percentile (Losers): The lower X% of returns, capturing the sharpest downward movements.
This percentile-based normalization ensures the ASI adapts to market conditions, filtering noise and emphasizing significant price changes.
⚪ Oscillator Normalization
The ASI normalizes current returns relative to the top and bottom thresholds:
Values range from -10 to +10, where:
+10 represents extreme bullish strength (above the top percentile threshold).
-10 indicates extreme bearish weakness (below the bottom percentile threshold).
⚪ Signal Line Smoothing
A signal line is optionally applied to the ASI using a variety of moving averages:
Options: SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or HMA.
Effect: Smooths the ASI to filter out noise, with shorter lengths offering higher responsiveness and longer lengths providing stability.
⚪ Divergence Detection
One of ASI's standout features is its ability to detect and highlight bullish and bearish divergences:
Bullish Divergence: The ASI forms higher lows while the price forms lower lows, signaling potential upward reversals.
Bearish Divergence: The ASI forms lower highs while the price forms higher highs, indicating potential downward reversals.
█ Key Differences from RSI
Dynamic Adaptability: ASI adjusts to market conditions through percentile-based scaling, while RSI uses static thresholds.
█ How to Use ASI
⚪ Trend Identification
Bullish Strength: ASI above zero suggests upward momentum, suitable for trend-following trades.
Bearish Weakness: ASI below zero signals downward momentum, ideal for short trades or exits from long positions.
⚪ Overbought/Oversold Levels
Overbought Zone: ASI in the +8 to +10 range indicates potential exhaustion of bullish momentum.
Oversold Zone: ASI in the -8 to -10 range points to potential reversal opportunities.
⚪ Divergence Signals
Look for bullish or bearish divergence labels to anticipate trend reversals before they occur.
⚪ Signal Line Crossovers
A crossover between the ASI and its signal line (e.g., EMA or SMA) can indicate a shift in momentum:
Bullish Crossover: ASI crosses above the signal line, signaling potential upside.
Bearish Crossover: ASI crosses below the signal line, suggesting downside momentum.
█ Settings Explained
⚪ Absolute Strength Index
Returns Lookback: Sets the sensitivity of the oscillator. Shorter periods detect short-term changes, while longer periods focus on broader trends.
Top/Bottom Percentiles: Adjust thresholds for defining winners and losers. Narrower percentiles increase sensitivity to outliers.
Signal Line Type: Choose from SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or HMA for smoothing.
Signal Line Length: Fine-tune the responsiveness of the signal line.
⚪ Divergence
Divergence Lookback: Adjusts the period for detecting divergence. Use longer lookbacks to reduce noise.

Custom Moving Average Ribbon with EMA Table & Text ColorComprehensive Description of the Custom Moving Average Ribbon with EMA Table & Text Color
The Custom Moving Average Ribbon with EMA Table & Text Color is a highly flexible and customizable indicator designed for traders who use multiple moving averages to assess trends, strength, and potential market reversals. It plots up to 8 moving averages (either SMA, EMA, WMA, or VWMA) on the price chart and displays a table summarizing the moving averages’ values, periods, and colors. The table also allows for the customization of the text color, making it easier to align with your chart’s theme or preference.
Key Features:
Multiple Moving Averages: You can display up to 8 moving averages (MA), each of which can be customized in terms of:
Type: SMA (Simple Moving Average), EMA (Exponential Moving Average), WMA (Weighted Moving Average), or VWMA (Volume-Weighted Moving Average).
Period: Each moving average has a user-defined period, which allows for flexibility depending on your trading style (short-term, medium-term, or long-term).
Enable/Disable: Each moving average can be independently enabled or disabled based on your preference.
Moving Average Ribbon: The indicator visualizes multiple moving averages as a ribbon, giving traders insight into the market's underlying trend. The interaction between these moving averages provides essential signals:
Uptrend: Shorter-term MAs above longer-term MAs, all sloping upward.
Downtrend: Shorter-term MAs below longer-term MAs, sloping downward.
Consolidation: MAs tightly packed, indicating low volatility or a sideways market.
Customizable Table: The indicator includes a table that displays:
The Name of each moving average (e.g., MA 1, MA 2, etc.).
The Period used for each moving average.
The Current Value of each moving average.
Color Coding for easier visual identification on the chart.
Text Color Customization: You can change the text color in the table to match your chart style or to ensure high visibility.
Responsive Design: This indicator works on any time frame, whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, and the table adjusts dynamically as new data comes in.
How to Use the Indicator
a) Trend Identification
The Custom Moving Average Ribbon helps in identifying trends and their strength. Here’s how you can interpret the plotted moving averages:
Uptrend (Bullish):
If the shorter-term moving averages (e.g., 5-period, 10-period) are above the longer-term moving averages (e.g., 50-period, 200-period), and all the MAs are sloping upward, it suggests a strong bullish trend.
The greater the separation between the moving averages, the stronger the uptrend.
Use the table to quickly verify the current value of each MA and confirm that the price is staying above most or all of the MAs.
Downtrend (Bearish):
When shorter-term moving averages are below the longer-term moving averages and all MAs are sloping downward, this indicates a bearish trend.
Greater separation between MAs indicates a stronger downtrend.
Neutral/Consolidating Market:
If the MAs are tightly packed and frequently crossing each other, the market is likely consolidating, and a strong trend is not in play.
In these situations, it’s better to wait for a clearer signal before taking any positions.
b) Reversal Signals
Golden Cross: When a short-term moving average (e.g., 50-period) crosses above a long-term moving average (e.g., 200-period), this is considered a bullish signal, suggesting a possible upward trend.
Death Cross: When a short-term moving average crosses below a long-term moving average, it’s considered a bearish signal, indicating a potential downward trend.
c) Using the Table for Quick Reference
The table allows you to monitor:
The current price value relative to each moving average. If the price is above most MAs, the market is likely in an uptrend, and if below, in a downtrend.
Changes in MA values: If you see values of shorter-term MAs moving closer to or crossing longer-term MAs, this could indicate a weakening trend or a potential reversal.
How to Combine this Indicator with Other Indicators for a Solid Strategy
The Custom Moving Average Ribbon is powerful on its own but can be enhanced when combined with other technical indicators to form a comprehensive trading strategy.
1. Combining with RSI (Relative Strength Index)
How It Works: RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements, typically over 14 periods. It ranges from 0 to 100, with readings above 70 considered overbought and below 30 considered oversold.
Strategy:
Overbought in an Uptrend: If the moving average ribbon indicates an uptrend but the RSI shows the market is overbought (RSI > 70), it could signal a pullback or correction is imminent.
Oversold in a Downtrend: If the moving average ribbon indicates a downtrend but the RSI shows oversold conditions (RSI < 30), a bounce or reversal may be on the horizon.
2. Combining with MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
How It Works: MACD tracks the difference between two exponential moving averages, typically the 12-period and 26-period EMAs. It generates buy and sell signals based on crossovers and divergences.
Strategy:
Trend Confirmation: Use the MACD to confirm the direction and momentum of the trend indicated by the moving average ribbon. For example, if the MACD line crosses above the signal line while the shorter-term MAs are above the longer-term MAs, it confirms strong bullish momentum.
Divergences: Watch for divergences between price action and MACD. If price is making higher highs but MACD is making lower highs, it could signal a weakening trend, which you can verify using the moving averages.
3. Combining with Bollinger Bands
How It Works: Bollinger Bands plot two standard deviations above and below a moving average, typically the 20-period SMA. The bands widen during periods of high volatility and contract during periods of low volatility.
Strategy:
Breakout or Reversal: If price action moves above the upper Bollinger Band while the shorter-term MAs are crossing above the longer-term MAs, it confirms a strong breakout. Conversely, if price touches or falls below the lower Bollinger Band and the shorter MAs start crossing below the longer-term MAs, it indicates a potential breakdown.
Mean Reversion: In sideways markets, when the moving averages are tightly packed, Bollinger Bands can help spot mean reversion opportunities (buy near the lower band, sell near the upper band).
4. Combining with Volume Indicators
How It Works: Volume is a crucial confirmation indicator for any trend or breakout. Combining volume with the moving average ribbon can enhance your strategy.
Strategy:
Trend Confirmation: If the price breaks above the moving averages and is accompanied by high volume, it confirms a strong breakout. Similarly, if price breaks below the moving averages on high volume, it signals a strong downtrend.
Divergence: If price continues to trend in one direction but volume decreases, it could indicate a weakening trend, helping you prepare for a reversal.
Example Strategies Using the Indicator
Trend-Following Strategy:
Use the moving average ribbon to identify the main trend.
Combine with MACD or RSI for confirmation of momentum.
Enter trades when the shorter-term MAs confirm the trend and the confirmation indicator (MACD or RSI) aligns with the trend.
Exit trades when the moving averages start converging or when your confirmation indicator shows signs of reversal.
Reversal Strategy:
Wait for significant crossovers in the moving averages (Golden Cross or Death Cross).
Confirm the reversal with divergence in MACD or RSI.
Use Bollinger Bands to fine-tune your entry and exit points based on overbought/oversold conditions.
Conclusion
The Custom Moving Average Ribbon with EMA Table & Text Color indicator provides a robust framework for traders looking to use multiple moving averages to gauge trend direction, strength, and potential reversals. By combining it with other technical indicators like RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and volume, you can develop a solid trading strategy that enhances accuracy, reduces false signals, and maximizes profit potential in various market conditions.
This indicator offers high flexibility with customization options, making it suitable for traders of all levels and strategies. Whether you're trend-following, scalping, or swing trading, this tool provides invaluable insights into market movements.
CryptoverseThis Indicator dynamically generates and charts Pivot Points, Support and Resistance Lines, Trend Channels and even Rsi Divergences in every market and every time period.
While it helps you identify your entry points, stop loss and take positions, it certainly does not include trading signals and trading strategy.
Bonus: the indicator contains ema21, ema50, ema100 and ema200 to support the lines created. If you wish, you can change the EMA values in the settings.
Recommendation: RSI is included in the indicator codes in order to detect divergences dataally, but it is not displayed on the chart. I recommend adding an additional RSI indicator to keep track of past and current potential divergences.
USER MANUAL:
----------------------------------------------
General Settings:
Pivot Period: This field determines how many candles before and after a candle should be controlled in order to be able to determine the top and bottom points on the chart.
Support and Resistance Lines and Trend Channels formed on the chart are created by calculating the Pivot points formed according to the period determined here. (Default value: 6)
Pivot Source: Determines the pivot points to be created according to the value of the relevant candle.
(Default and Recommended: closing)
----------------------------------------------
Support And Resistance Settings:
Custom Bars Back: This area allows you to specify how many pivot points from the current candle to the previous candle to create support resistance lines on the Chart. The default value is the last 500 candles.
*Note: The more old candles are checked, the more support and resistance lines will appear. This may prevent you from making sound determinations on the chart.*
Current Bar Decrease: This field works integrated with Custom Bars Back. By subtracting the current candle by the specified number, it provides the formation of lines without including those candles.
Default value: It is set to 0 to include current data.
Example: If Custom Bars Back: 500 and Current Bar Decrease: 10, Support and Resistance lines are created by considering 500 candles before the last 10 candles without including the last 10 candles on the chart.
Show S/R Lines: This field allows you to show or hide the Support and Resistance lines at any time.
Auto Simplification: This field is marked by default. It allows the Simplification Steps value to be determined automatically within the code according to the time period and current volatility of the relevant parity. (It is recommended to use the default version.)
Simplification Steps: This field allows you to get more understandable lines by simplifying the Support and Resistance lines based on Pivot points. If a simplification is not done, the lines to be formed with only the pivot points will be too many and this creates a dirty and useless appearance on the chart.
Each 1 digit you enter as a step combines the lines that are close to each other at a value of 0.01% and creates a common line.
Example: If you enter the number 10 as Steps, it will form a single common line from lines close together, starting at 0.01% respectively. It will continue to increase by 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04% in its next steps. For the number 10, it will complete its loop by combining lines within the last remaining lines that are as close as 0.1% to each other and creating new lines from their midpoints.
The deafult value is 14. (Max. simplifies lines with closeness up to 1.4%.)
Important Note: If Auto Simplification is on, the entered value has no meaning. The Indicator performs simplification operations automatically. If you want to manage these steps manually, you can turn off Auto Simplification and enter your own value.
S/R Lines Color: Allows you to specify the color of the lines.
Label Location: Allows you to determine how many candles ahead the information label formed for each line will be positioned.
Line Label Descriptions:
Line: It is the price value that the line coincides with.*
Distance: Shows the percentage distance of the line from the current price.
▲ : Shows the percentage distance from the line above it.
▼ : Shows the percentage distance from the line below it.
Strength: Indicates the total number of steps the process has taken during the simplification process. The height of the number indicates the strength of resistance and support in the close price range.
C. Width: stands for Channel Width. It shows the percentage value between the highest price and the lowest price on the past candle as many candles specified by Custom Bars Back.
S. Steps: stands for Simplification Steps. Indicates the number of simplification steps applied. A value of 150 in the image indicates that a 1.5% simplification range has been applied.
----------------------------------------------
Trend Channels Settings:
Show All Trend Lines: Allows you to show and hide trend channels.
Hide Old Trend Lines: If you enable it, it will hide channels created in the past except for Current Trend channels.
Helper Line Format: Allows the auxiliary line that converts a trendline to a channel to be drawn based on percentage or price.
Note: There may be cases where the auxiliary lines do not provide full parallelism when using large time intervals by preferring a percentage.
Up Trend Color: Indicates the color of the Up Trend channel.
Down Trend Color: Specifies the color of the Downtrend channel.
Show Up Trend Overflow, Show Down Trend Overflow:
When the price closes above or below the trend channels, it provides awareness with the help of a text on the chart. Colors can be adjusted according to preference.
----------------------------------------------
RSI Divergences Settings:
This indicator gives you information about 4 different divergences. You can customize the divergence views with the show and hide options.
Bullish Regular, Bullish Hidden, Bearish Regular and Bearish Hidden.
Green divergences from the bottom of the graph represent bullish, and red divergences above the graph represent bearish.
Important note: Seeing a mismatch label definitely indicates that there is a mismatch between prices and rsi, but a mismatch does not always indicate a change in price.
Potential Divergence:
The indicator not only shows you past divergences, but also informs you of potential divergences based on the current status of the chart.
A potential divergence may not turn into a true one if the price flow continues to increase or decrease in the same direction. But all divergences seen in the past must have been shown as potential divergences beforehand.
Rsi Length, Rsi Source: Allows you to change settings for RSI values typically embedded within the indicator.
Note: Pivot Source and RSI Source using the same type of candle data ensures that divergences are displayed correctly.
----------------------------------------------
EMA Settings:
The indicator allows you to use 4 different EMA data in addition to Support and Resistance lines, Trend Channels and RSI divergences. By default, 21, 50, 100 and 200 are used. You can change the EMA values and colors in the Settings section, or you can use the show hide options in the Style section.
Advanced Volatility-Adjusted Momentum IndexAdvanced Volatility-Adjusted Momentum Index (AVAMI)
The AVAMI is a powerful and versatile trading index which enhances the traditional momentum readings by introducing a volatility adjustment. This results in a more nuanced interpretation of market momentum, considering not only the rate of price changes but also the inherent volatility of the asset.
Settings and Parameters:
Momentum Length: This parameter sets the number of periods used to calculate the momentum, which is essentially the rate of change of the asset's price. A shorter length value means the momentum calculation will be more sensitive to recent price changes. Conversely, a longer length will yield a smoother and more stabilized momentum value, thereby reducing the impact of short-term price fluctuations.
Volatility Length: This parameter is responsible for determining the number of periods to be considered in the calculation of standard deviation of returns, which acts as the volatility measure. A shorter length will result in a more reactive volatility measure, while a longer length will produce a more stable, but less sensitive measure of volatility.
Smoothing Length: This parameter sets the number of periods used to apply a moving average smoothing to the AVAMI and its signal line. The purpose of this is to minimize the impact of volatile periods and to make the indicator's lines smoother and easier to interpret.
Lookback Period for Scaling: This is the number of periods used when rescaling the AVAMI values. The rescaling process is necessary to ensure that the AVAMI values remain within a consistent and interpretable range over time.
Overbought and Oversold Levels: These levels are thresholds at which the asset is considered overbought (potentially overvalued) or oversold (potentially undervalued), respectively. For instance, if the AVAMI exceeds the overbought level, traders may consider it as a possible selling opportunity, anticipating a price correction. Conversely, if the AVAMI falls below the oversold level, it could be seen as a buying opportunity, with the expectation of a price bounce.
Mid Level: This level represents the middle ground between the overbought and oversold levels. Crossing the mid-level line from below can be perceived as an increasing bullish momentum, and vice versa.
Show Divergences and Hidden Divergences: These checkboxes give traders the option to display regular and hidden divergences between the AVAMI and the asset's price. Divergences are crucial market structures that often signal potential price reversals.
Index Logic:
The AVAMI index begins with the calculation of a simple rate of change momentum indicator. This raw momentum is then adjusted by the standard deviation of log returns, which acts as a measure of market volatility. This adjustment process ensures that the resulting momentum index encapsulates not only the speed of price changes but also the market's volatility context.
The raw AVAMI is then smoothed using a moving average, and a signal line is generated as an exponential moving average (EMA) of this smoothed AVAMI. This signal line serves as a trigger for potential trading signals when crossed by the AVAMI.
The script also includes an algorithm to identify 'fractals', which are distinct price patterns that often act as potential market reversal points. These fractals are utilized to spot both regular and hidden divergences between the asset's price and the AVAMI.
Application and Strategy Concepts:
The AVAMI is a versatile tool that can be integrated into various trading strategies. Traders can utilize the overbought and oversold levels to identify potential reversal points. The AVAMI crossing the mid-level line can signify a change in market momentum. Additionally, the identification of regular and hidden divergences can serve as potential trading signals:
Regular Divergence: This happens when the asset's price records a new high/low, but the AVAMI fails to follow suit, suggesting a possible trend reversal. For instance, if the asset's price forms a higher high but the AVAMI forms a lower high, it's a regular bearish divergence, indicating potential price downturn.
Hidden Divergence: This is observed when the price forms a lower high/higher low, but the AVAMI forms a higher high/lower low, suggesting the continuation of the prevailing trend. For example, if the price forms a lower low during a downtrend, but the AVAMI forms a higher low, it's a hidden bullish divergence, signaling the potential continuation of the downtrend.
As with any trading tool, the AVAMI should not be used in isolation but in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and within the context of a well-defined trading plan.
Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI)Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI)
What is Lyapunov Market Instability?
Lyapunov Market Instability (LMI) is a revolutionary indicator that brings chaos theory from theoretical physics into practical trading. By calculating Lyapunov exponents—a measure of how rapidly nearby trajectories diverge in phase space—LMI quantifies market sensitivity to initial conditions. This isn't another oscillator or trend indicator; it's a mathematical lens that reveals whether markets are in chaotic (trending) or stable (ranging) regimes.
Inspired by the meditative color field paintings of Mark Rothko, this indicator transforms complex chaos mathematics into an intuitive visual experience. The elegant simplicity of the visualization belies the sophisticated theory underneath—just as Rothko's seemingly simple color blocks contain profound depth.
Theoretical Foundation (Chaos Theory & Lyapunov Exponents)
In dynamical systems, the Lyapunov exponent (λ) measures the rate of separation of infinitesimally close trajectories:
λ > 0: System is chaotic—small changes lead to dramatically different outcomes (butterfly effect)
λ < 0: System is stable—trajectories converge, perturbations die out
λ ≈ 0: Edge of chaos—transition between regimes
Phase Space Reconstruction
Using Takens' embedding theorem , we reconstruct market dynamics in higher dimensions:
Time-delay embedding: Create vectors from price at different lags
Nearest neighbor search: Find historically similar market states
Trajectory evolution: Track how these similar states diverged over time
Divergence rate: Calculate average exponential separation
Market Application
Chaotic markets (λ > threshold): Strong trends emerge, momentum dominates, use breakout strategies
Stable markets (λ < threshold): Mean reversion dominates, fade extremes, range-bound strategies work
Transition zones: Market regime about to change, reduce position size, wait for confirmation
How LMI Works
1. Phase Space Construction
Each point in time is embedded as a vector using historical prices at specific delays (τ). This reveals the market's hidden attractor structure.
2. Lyapunov Calculation
For each current state, we:
- Find similar historical states within epsilon (ε) distance
- Track how these initially similar states evolved
- Measure exponential divergence rate
- Average across multiple trajectories for robustness
3. Signal Generation
Chaos signals: When λ crosses above threshold, market enters trending regime
Stability signals: When λ crosses below threshold, market enters ranging regime
Divergence detection: Price/Lyapunov divergences signal potential reversals

GMO (Gyroscopic Momentum Oscillator) GMO
Overview
This indicator fuses multiple advanced concepts to give traders a comprehensive view of market momentum, volatility, and potential turning points. It leverages the Gyroscopic Momentum Oscillator (GMO) foundation and layers on IQR-based bands, dynamic ATR-adjusted OB/OS levels, torque filtering, and divergence detection. The outcome is a versatile tool that can assist in identifying both short-term squeezes and long-term reversal zones while detecting subtle shifts in momentum acceleration.
Key Components:
Gyroscopic Momentum Oscillator (GMO) – A physics-inspired metric capturing trend stability and momentum by treating price dynamics as “angle,” “angular velocity,” and “inertia.”
IQR Bands – Highlight statistically typical oscillation ranges, providing insight into short-term squeezes and potential near-term trend shifts.
ATR-Adjusted OB/OS Levels – Dynamic thresholds for overbought/oversold conditions, adapting to volatility, aiding in identifying long-term potential reversal zones.
Torque Filtering & Scaling – Smooths and thresholds torque (the rate of change of momentum) and visually scales it for clarity, indicating sudden force changes that may precede volatility adjustments.
Divergence Detection – Highlights potential reversal cues by comparing oscillator swings against price swings, revealing regular and hidden bullish/bearish divergences.
Conceptual Insights
IQR Bands (Short-Term Squeeze & Trend Direction):
Short-Term Momentum and Squeeze: The IQR (Interquartile Range) bands show where the oscillator tends to “live” statistically. When the GMO line hovers within compressed IQR bands, it can signal a momentum squeeze phase. Exiting these tight ranges often correlates with short-term breakout opportunities.
Trend Reversals: If the oscillator pushes beyond these IQR ranges, it may indicate an emerging short-term trend change. Traders can watch for GMO escaping the IQR “comfort zone” to anticipate a new directional move.
Dynamic OB/OS Levels (Long-Term Reversal Zones):
ATR-Based Adaptive Thresholds: Instead of static overbought/oversold lines, this tool uses ATR to adjust OB/OS boundaries. In calm markets, these lines remain closer to ±90. As volatility rises, they approach ±100, reflecting greater permissible swings.
Long-Term Trend Reversal Potential: If GMO hits these dynamically adjusted OB/OS extremes, it suggests conditions ripe for possible long-term trend reversals. Traders seeking major inflection points may find these adaptive levels more reliable than fixed thresholds.
Torque (Sudden Force & Directional Shifts):
Momentum Acceleration Insight: Torque represents the second derivative of momentum, highlighting how quickly momentum is changing. High positive torque suggests a rapidly strengthening bullish force, while high negative torque warns of sudden bearish pressure.
Early Warning & Stability/Volatility Adjustments: By monitoring torque spikes, traders can anticipate momentum shifts before price fully confirms them. This can signal imminent changes in stability or increased volatility phases.
Indicator Parameters and Usage
GMO-Related Inputs:
lenPivot (Default 100): Length for calculating the pivot line (slow market axis).
lenSmoothAngle (Default 200): Smooths the angle measure, reducing noise.
lenATR (Default 14): ATR period for scaling factor, linking price changes to volatility.

Visual Elements on the Chart
GMO Line (Blue) & Zero Line (Gray):
GMO line oscillates around zero. Positive territory hints bullish momentum, negative suggests bearish.
IQR Bands (Teal Lines & Yellow Fill):
Upper/lower bands form a statistical “normal range” for GMO. The median line (purple) provides a central reference. Contraction near these bands indicates a short-term squeeze, expansions beyond them can signal emerging short-term trend changes.
Dynamic OB/OS (Red & Green Lines):
Red line near +90 to +100: Overbought zone (dynamic).
Green line near -90 to -100: Oversold zone (dynamic).
Movement into these zones may mark significant, longer-term reversal potential.
Torque Histogram (Colored Bars):
Plotted below GMO. Green bars = torque above positive threshold (bullish acceleration).
Red bars = torque below negative threshold (bearish acceleration).
Gray bars = neutral range.
This provides early warnings of momentum shifts before price responds fully.
Precession (Orange Line):
Scaled for visibility, adds context to long-term angular shifts in the oscillator.
Divergence Signals (Shapes):
Circles and offset lines highlight regular or hidden bullish/bearish divergences, offering potential reversal signals.
Practical Interpretation & Strategy
Short-Term Opportunities (IQR Focus):
If GMO compresses within IQR bands, the market might be “winding up.” A break above/below these bands can signal a short-term trade opportunity.
Long-Term Reversal Zones (Dynamic OB/OS):
When GMO approaches these dynamically adjusted extremes, conditions may be ripe for a major trend shift. This is particularly useful for swing or position traders looking for significant turnarounds.
Monitoring Torque for Acceleration Cues:
Torque spikes can precede price action, serving as an early catalyst signal. If torque turns strongly positive, anticipate bullish acceleration; strongly negative torque may warn of upcoming bearish pressure.
Confirm with Divergences:
Divergences between price and GMO reinforce potential reversal or continuation signals identified by IQR, OB/OS, or torque. Use them to increase confidence in setups.
Tips and Best Practices
Combine with Price & Volume Action:
While the indicator is powerful, always confirm signals with actual price structure, volume patterns, or other trend-following tools.
Adjust Lengths & Periods as Needed:
Shorter lengths = more responsiveness but more noise. Longer lengths = smoother signals but greater lag. Tune parameters to match your trading style and timeframe.
Use ATR and Volume Settings Wisely:
If markets are highly volatile, consider useVolatility to refine momentum readings. If liquidity is key, enable useVolume.
Scaling Torque:
If torque bars are hard to read, increase torqueScaleFactor further. The scaling doesn’t affect logic—only visibility.
Conclusion
The “GMO + IQR Bands + ATR-Adjusted OB/OS + Torque Filtering (Scaled)” indicator presents a holistic framework for understanding market momentum across multiple timescales and conditions. By interpreting short-term squeezes via IQR bands, long-term reversal zones via adaptive OB/OS, and subtle acceleration changes through torque, traders can gain advanced insights into when to anticipate breakouts, manage risk around potential reversals, and fine-tune timing for entries and exits.
This integrated approach helps navigate complex market dynamics, making it a valuable addition to any technical analysis toolkit.

Market Open Highlighting: Optional histogram plots highlight the market open candle based on different timeframes for stocks versus non-forex symbols.
RSI of Accumulation/DistributionHow to Use the RSI of Accumulation/Distribution Indicator:
1. Identify Overbought/Oversold Conditions:
Overbought: When the RSI of the ADL is above 70, it indicates that the asset may be overbought and could be due for a pullback or correction.
Oversold: When the RSI of the ADL is below 30, it suggests that the asset may be oversold and could be poised for a rebound.
2. Look for Divergences:
Bullish Divergence: If the price is making lower lows while the RSI of the ADL is making higher lows, it can signal a potential reversal to the upside.
Bearish Divergence: If the price is making higher highs while the RSI of the ADL is making lower highs, it can indicate a potential reversal to the downside.
3. Confirm Trend Strength:
Use the RSI of the ADL to confirm the strength of a trend. For example, if the RSI is consistently above 50 during an uptrend, it suggests strong buying pressure and the trend is likely to continue.
Conversely, if the RSI is consistently below 50 during a downtrend, it indicates strong selling pressure and the trend is likely to persist.
4. Monitor for Reversals:
When the RSI of the ADL crosses above 50, it can signal a potential bullish reversal.
When the RSI of the ADL crosses below 50, it can signal a potential bearish reversal.
Is It Worth It?
The RSI of the Accumulation/Distribution Line can be a valuable tool for traders looking to gain insights into market momentum and trend strength. Here are a few reasons why it might be worth considering:
1. Volume and Price Combination: By combining price action (RSI) with volume-based analysis (ADL), this indicator provides a more comprehensive view of market dynamics.
2. Divergence Detection: It helps identify divergences between price and volume, which can be early signals of potential reversals.
3. Trend Confirmation: It offers additional confirmation of trend strength and potential reversal points, helping traders make more informed decisions.
However, like any indicator, it's important to use it in conjunction with other analysis methods and not rely on it solely for trading decisions. Backtesting the indicator on historical data and combining it with other technical analysis tools can improve its effectiveness.

CVD Trend IndikatorCVD Trend Indicator (Cumulative Volume Delta)
This Pine Script indicator is designed to help traders visualize the underlying buying and selling pressure in the market by analyzing the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). It provides insights into whether buyers or sellers are more aggressive over time, aiding in trend confirmation and potential reversal identification.
How it Works:
The indicator calculates the Cumulative Volume Delta for each candlestick.
If the candle closes higher than it opened (close > open), its entire volume is considered buying volume (positive delta).
If the candle closes lower than it opened (close < open), its entire volume is considered selling volume (negative delta).
If the candle closes at the same price it opened (close == open), its delta is considered zero.
These individual candle deltas are then cumulatively summed up over time, creating the CVD line. A rising CVD indicates increasing buying pressure, while a falling CVD suggests growing selling pressure.
The indicator also features an optional Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the CVD, which helps smooth out the CVD line and identify the prevailing trend in buying/selling pressure more clearly.
Key Features:
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Line:
Rising CVD (Blue Line): Indicates aggressive buying pressure is dominant, supporting bullish price action.
Falling CVD (Blue Line): Suggests aggressive selling pressure is dominant, supporting bearish price action.
CVD Moving Average (Red Line, optional):
A user-defined SMA of the CVD, which acts as a trend filter for the volume delta.
When the CVD crosses above its MA, it can signal increasing buying momentum.
When the CVD crosses below its MA, it can signal increasing selling momentum.
Session Reset:
The CVD automatically resets at the beginning of each new trading session (daily by default). This provides a fresh perspective on the day's accumulated buying or selling pressure, which is particularly useful for day traders.
Background Color Visuals:
The indicator panel's background changes color to visually represent periods of dominant buying pressure (green background when CVD > CVD MA) or selling pressure (red background when CVD < CVD MA), offering a quick glance at the market's underlying bias.
Trading Insights:
Trend Confirmation: Use a rising CVD (and its MA) to confirm an uptrend, or a falling CVD (and its MA) to confirm a downtrend.
Divergences: Look for CVD Divergences as potential reversal signals:
Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, but CVD makes a higher low (suggests selling pressure is weakening).
Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, but CVD makes a lower high (suggests buying pressure is weakening).
Momentum Shifts: Sudden, sharp changes in the CVD's direction or its cross over/under its MA can signal shifts in market momentum.
Support/Resistance Confirmation: Observe CVD behavior around key price levels. Weakening buying pressure at resistance or weakening selling pressure at support can confirm the strength of these levels.
Customization:
showMA: Toggle the visibility of the CVD's Moving Average.
maLength: Adjust the period for the CVD's Moving Average to control its sensitivity to recent price action. A shorter length makes it more reactive, while a longer length makes it smoother.
Disclaimer: No indicator is foolproof. Always use the CVD Trend Indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, price action, and robust risk management strategies. Backtesting and forward testing are crucial for understanding its effectiveness in different market conditions and timeframes.

Twitter Model ICT [TradingFinder] MMXM ERL D + FVG + M15 MSS/SMT🔵 Introduction
The Twitter Model ICT is a trading approach based on ICT (Inner Circle Trader) models, focusing on price movement between external and internal liquidity in lower timeframes. This model integrates key concepts such as Market Structure Shift (MSS), Smart Money Technique (SMT) divergence, and CISD level break to identify precise entry points in the market.
The primary goal of this model is to determine key liquidity levels, such as the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL) and align them with the Fair Value Gap (FVG) in the 1-hour timeframe. The overall strategy involves framing trades around the 1H FVG and using the M15 Market Structure Shift (MSS) for entry confirmation.
The Twitter Model ICT is designed to utilize external liquidity levels, such as PDH/PDL, as key entry zones. The model identifies FVG in the 1-hour timeframe, which acts as a magnet for price movement. Additionally, traders confirm entries using M15 Market Structure Shift (MSS) and SMT divergence.
Bullish Twitter Model :
In a bullish setup, the price sweeps the previous day’s low (PDL), and after confirming reversal signals, buys are executed in internal liquidity zones. Conversely, in a bearish setup, the price sweeps the previous day’s high (PDH), and after confirming weakness signals, sells are executed.
Bearish Twitter Model :
In short setups, entries are only executed above the Midnight Open, while in long setups, entries are taken below the Midnight Open. Adhering to these principles allows traders to define precise entry and exit points and analyze price movement with greater accuracy based on liquidity and market structure.
🔵 How to Use
The Twitter Model ICT is a liquidity-based trading strategy that analyzes price movements relative to the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL) and Fair Value Gap (FVG). This model is applicable in both bullish and bearish directions and utilizes the 1-hour (1H) and 15-minute (M15) timeframes for entry confirmation.
The price first sweeps an external liquidity level (PDH or PDL) and then provides an entry opportunity based on Market Structure Shift (MSS) and SMT divergence. Additionally, the entry should be positioned relative to the Midnight Open, meaning long entries should occur below the Midnight Open and short entries above it.
🟣 Bullish Twitter Model
In a bullish setup, the price first sweeps the previous day’s low (PDL) and reaches an external liquidity level. Then, in the 1-hour timeframe (1H), a bullish Fair Value Gap (FVG) forms, which serves as the price target.
To confirm the entry, a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 15-minute timeframe (M15) should be observed, signaling a trend reversal to the upside. Additionally, SMT divergence with correlated assets can indicate weakness in selling pressure.
Under these conditions, a long position is taken below the Midnight Open, with a stop-loss placed at the lowest point of the recent bearish move. The price target for this trade is the FVG in the 1-hour timeframe.
🟣 Bearish Twitter Model
In a bearish setup, the price first sweeps the previous day’s high (PDH) and reaches an external liquidity level. Then, in the 1-hour timeframe (1H), a bearish Fair Value Gap (FVG) is identified, serving as the trade target.
To confirm entry, a Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 15-minute timeframe (M15) should form, signaling a trend shift to the downside. If an SMT divergence is present, it can provide additional confirmation for the trade.
Once these conditions are met, a short position is taken above the Midnight Open, with a stop-loss placed at the highest level of the recent bullish move. The trade's price target is the FVG in the 1-hour timeframe.

🔵 Conclusion
The Twitter Model ICT is an effective approach for analyzing and executing trades in financial markets, utilizing a combination of liquidity principles, market structure, and SMT confirmations to identify optimal entry and exit points.
By analyzing the previous day’s high and low (PDH/PDL), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), and Market Structure Shift (MSS) in the 1H and M15 timeframes, traders can pinpoint liquidity-driven trade opportunities. Additionally, considering the Midnight Open level helps traders avoid random entries and ensures better trade placement.
By applying this model, traders can interpret market movements based on liquidity flow and structural changes, allowing them to fine-tune their trading decisions with higher precision. Ultimately, the Twitter Model ICT provides a structured and logical approach for traders who seek to trade based on liquidity behavior and trend shifts in the market.
CMF and Scaled EFI OverlayCMF and Scaled EFI Overlay Indicator
Overview
The CMF and Scaled EFI Overlay indicator combines the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and a scaled version of the Elder Force Index (EFI) into a single chart. This allows traders to analyze both indicators simultaneously, facilitating better insights into market momentum and volume dynamics , specifically focusing on buying/selling pressure and momentum , without compromising the integrity of either indicator.
Purpose
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF): Measures buying and selling pressure by evaluating price and volume over a specified period. It indicates accumulation (buying pressure) when values are positive and distribution (selling pressure) when values are negative.
Elder Force Index (EFI): Combines price changes and volume to assess the momentum behind market moves. Positive values indicate upward momentum (prices rising with strong volume), while negative values indicate downward momentum (prices falling with strong volume).
By scaling the EFI to match the amplitude of the CMF, this indicator enables a direct comparison between pressure and momentum , preserving their shapes and zero crossings. Traders can observe the relationship between price movements, volume, and momentum more effectively, aiding in decision-making.
Understanding Pressure vs. Momentum
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF):
- Indicates the level of demand (buying pressure) or supply (selling pressure) in the market based on volume and price movements.
- Accumulation: When institutional or large investors are buying significant amounts of an asset, leading to an increase in buying pressure.
- Distribution: When these investors are selling off their holdings, increasing selling pressure.
Elder Force Index (EFI):
- Measures the strength and speed of price movements, indicating how forceful the current trend is.
- Positive Momentum: Prices are rising quickly, indicating a strong uptrend.
- Negative Momentum: Prices are falling rapidly, indicating a strong downtrend.
Understanding the difference between pressure and momentum is crucial. For example, a market may exhibit strong buying pressure (positive CMF) but weak momentum (low EFI), suggesting accumulation without significant price movement yet.
Features
Overlay of CMF and Scaled EFI: Both indicators are plotted on the same chart for easy comparison of pressure and momentum dynamics.
Customizable Parameters: Adjust lengths for CMF and EFI calculations and fine-tune the scaling factor for optimal alignment.
Preserved Indicator Integrity: The scaling method preserves the shape and zero crossings of the EFI, ensuring accurate analysis.
How It Works
CMF Calculation:
- Calculates the Money Flow Multiplier (MFM) and Money Flow Volume (MFV) to assess buying and selling pressure.
- CMF is computed by summing the MFV over the specified length and dividing by the sum of volume over the same period:
CMF = (Sum of MFV over n periods) / (Sum of Volume over n periods)
EFI Calculation:
- Calculates the EFI using the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the price change multiplied by volume:
EFI = EMA(n, Change in Close * Volume)
Scaling the EFI:
- The EFI is scaled by multiplying it with a user-defined scaling factor to match the CMF's amplitude.
Plotting:
- Both the CMF and the scaled EFI are plotted on the same chart.
- A zero line is included for reference, aiding in identifying crossovers and divergences.
Indicator Settings
Inputs
CMF Length (`cmf_length`):
- Default: 20
- Description: The number of periods over which the CMF is calculated. A higher value smooths the indicator but may delay signals.
EFI Length (`efi_length`):
- Default: 13
- Description: The EMA length for the EFI calculation. Adjusting this value affects the sensitivity of the EFI to price changes.
EFI Scaling Factor (`efi_scaling_factor`):
- Default: 0.000001
- Description: A constant used to scale the EFI to match the CMF's amplitude. Fine-tuning this value ensures the indicators align visually.
How to Adjust the EFI Scaling Factor
Start with the Default Value:
- Begin with the default scaling factor of `0.000001`.
Visual Inspection:
- Observe the plotted indicators. If the EFI appears too large or small compared to the CMF, proceed to adjust the scaling factor.
Fine-Tune the Scaling Factor:
- Increase or decrease the scaling factor incrementally (e.g., `0.000005`, `0.00001`, `0.00005`) until the amplitudes of the CMF and EFI visually align.
- The optimal scaling factor may vary depending on the asset and timeframe.
Verify Alignment:
- Ensure that the scaled EFI preserves the shape and zero crossings of the original EFI.
- Overlay the original EFI (if desired) to confirm alignment.
How to Use the Indicator
Analyze Buying/Selling Pressure and Momentum:
- Positive CMF (>0): Indicates accumulation (buying pressure).
- Negative CMF (<0): Indicates distribution (selling pressure).
- Positive EFI: Indicates positive momentum (prices rising with strong volume).
- Negative EFI: Indicates negative momentum (prices falling with strong volume).
Look for Indicator Alignment:
- Both CMF and EFI Positive:
- Suggests strong bullish conditions with both buying pressure and upward momentum.
- Both CMF and EFI Negative:
- Indicates strong bearish conditions with selling pressure and downward momentum.
Identify Divergences:
- CMF Positive, EFI Negative:
- Buying pressure exists, but momentum is negative; potential for a bullish reversal if momentum shifts.
- CMF Negative, EFI Positive:
- Selling pressure exists despite rising prices; caution advised as it may indicate a potential bearish reversal.
Confirm Signals with Other Analysis:
- Use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools (e.g., trend lines, support/resistance levels) to confirm trading decisions.
Example Usage
