Custom TABI Model with LayersCustom Top and Bottom Indicator (TABI) (Is a Trend Adaptive Blow-Off Indicator) -
User Guide & Description
Introduction
The TABI (Trend Adaptive Blow-Off Indicator) is a refined, multi-layered RSI tool designed to enhance trend analysis, detect momentum shifts, and highlight overbought/oversold conditions with a more nuanced, color-coded approach. This indicator is useful for traders seeking to identify key reversal points, confirm trend strength, and filter trade setups more effectively than traditional RSI.
By incorporating volume-based confirmation and divergence detection, TABI aims to reduce false signals and improve trade timing.
How It Works
TABI builds on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) by introducing:
A smoothed RSI calculation for better trend readability.
11 color-coded RSI levels, allowing traders to visually distinguish weak, neutral, and extreme conditions.
Volume-based confirmation to detect high-conviction moves.
Bearish & Bullish Divergence Detection, inspired by Market Cipher methods, to spot potential reversals early.
Overbought & Oversold alerts, with optional candlestick color changes to highlight trade signals.
Key Features
✅ Color-Coded RSI for Better Readability
The RSI is divided into multi-layered color zones:
🔵 Light Blue: Extremely oversold
🟢 Lime Green: Mild oversold, potential trend reversal
🟡 Yellow & Orange: Neutral, momentum consolidation
🟠 Dark Orange: Caution, overbought conditions developing
🔴 Red: Extreme overbought, possible exhaustion
✅ Divergence Detection
Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs, RSI makes lower highs → Potential top signal
Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows, RSI makes higher lows → Potential bottom signal
✅ Volume Confirmation Filter
Requires a 50% above-average volume spike for strong buy/sell signals, reducing false breakouts.
✅ Dynamic Labels & Alerts
🚨 Blow-Off Top Warning: If RSI is overbought + volume spikes + divergence detected
🟢 Oversold Bottom Alert: If RSI is oversold + bullish divergence
Candlestick color changes when extreme conditions are met.
How to Use
📌 Entry & Exit Signals
Buy Consideration:
RSI enters Green Zone (oversold)
Bullish divergence detected
Volume confirms the move
Sell Consideration:
RSI enters Red Zone (overbought)

CBO (Candle Bias Oscillator)The Candle Bias Oscillator (CBO) with volume and ATR scaling is a unique technical analysis tool designed to capture market sentiment through the analysis of candlestick patterns, volume momentum, and market volatility. This indicator is built on the foundation of assessing the bias within a candlestick's body and wicks, adjusted for market volatility using the Average True Range (ATR), and further refined by comparing the Rate of Change (ROC) in volume and the adjusted bias. The culmination of these calculations results in the CBO, a smoothed oscillator that highlights potential market turning points through divergence analysis.
Key Features:
Bias Calculations: Utilizes the relationship between the candle's body and wicks to determine the market's immediate bias, offering a nuanced view beyond simple price action. Have you ever wanted to quantify exactly how bullish or bearish a particular candle or candlestick pattern is? Whether it's dojis, hammers, engulfing, gravestones, evening morning star, three soldiers etc. you don't have to memorize 50 candlestick patterns anymore.
Volatility Adjustment: Employs the ATR to adjust the bias calculation, ensuring the oscillator remains relevant across varying market conditions by accounting for volatility.
Momentum and Divergence: Measures the momentum in volume and bias through ROC calculations, identifying divergence that may signal reversals or significant price movements.
Signal Line: A smoothed version of the CBO, derived from its own values, serving as a benchmark for identifying potential crossovers and divergences.
Utility and Application:
The CBO with Divergence Scaling is developed for traders who seek a deeper understanding of market dynamics beyond price movements alone. It is particularly useful for identifying potential reversals or continuation patterns early, by highlighting divergence between market sentiment (as expressed through candlestick bias) and actual volume movements. In this way, it aligns us retail traders with institutional traders and smart money. This indicator is versatile and can be applied across various time frames and market instruments, offering value to both short-term traders and long-term investors.
How to Use:
Trend Identification: The direction and value of the CBO provide insights into the prevailing market trend. A positive oscillator value may indicate bullish sentiment, while a negative value suggests bearish sentiment.
Signal Line Crossovers: Crossovers between the CBO and its signal line can be used as potential buy or sell signals. A crossover above the signal line might indicate a buying opportunity, whereas a crossover below could suggest a selling point.
Divergence: Discrepancies between the CBO and price action (especially when confirmed by volume ROC) can highlight potential reversals.
Customization and Parameters: This script allows users to adjust several parameters, including oscillator periods, signal line periods, ATR periods, and ROC periods for divergence, to best fit their trading strategy and the characteristics of the market they are analyzing.
Conclusion:
The Custom Bias Oscillator with Divergence Scaling is a comprehensive tool designed to offer traders a multi-faceted view of market conditions, combining elements of price action, volatility, and momentum. By integrating these aspects into a single indicator, it aims to provide a more rounded and actionable insight into market trends and potential turning points.

Reverse Cutlers Relative Strength Index On ChartIntroduction
The Reverse Cutlers Relative Strength Index (RCRSI) OC is an indicator which tells the user what price is required to give a particular Cutlers Relative Strength Index ( RSI ) value, or cross its Moving Average (MA) signal line.
Overview
Background & Credits:
The relative strength index ( RSI ) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that was originally developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. and introduced in his seminal 1978 book, “New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems.”.
Cutler created a variation of the RSI known as “Cutlers RSI” using a different formulation to avoid an inherent accuracy problem which arises when using Wilders method of smoothing.
Further developments in the use, and more nuanced interpretations of the RSI have been developed by Cardwell, and also by well-known chartered market technician, Constance Brown C.M.T., in her acclaimed book "Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional” 1999 where she described the idea of bull and bear market ranges for RSI , and while she did not actually reveal the formulas, she introduced the concept of “reverse engineering” the RSI to give price level outputs.
Renowned financial software developer, co-author of academic books on finance, and scientific fellow to the Department of Finance and Insurance at the Technological Educational Institute of Crete, Giorgos Siligardos PHD . brought a new perspective to Wilder’s RSI when he published his excellent and well-received articles "Reverse Engineering RSI " and "Reverse Engineering RSI II " in the June 2003, and August 2003 issues of Stocks & Commodities magazine, where he described his methods of reverse engineering Wilders RSI .
Several excellent Implementations of the Reverse Wilders Relative Strength Index have been published here on Tradingview and elsewhere.
My utmost respect, and all due credits to authors of related prior works.
Introduction
It is worth noting that while the general RSI formula, and the logic dictating the UpMove and DownMove data series has remained the same as the Wilders original formulation, it has been interpreted in a different way by using a different method of averaging the upward, and downward moves.
Cutler recognized the issue of data length dependency when using wilders smoothing method of calculating RSI which means that wilders standard RSI will have a potential initialization error which reduces with every new data point calculated meaning early results should be regarded as unreliable until enough calculation iterations have occurred for convergence.
Hence Cutler proposed using Simple Moving Averaging for gain and loss data which this Indicator is based on.
Having "Reverse engineered" prices for any oscillator makes the planning, and execution of strategies around that oscillator far simpler, more timely and effective.
Introducing the Reverse Cutlers RSI which consists of plotted lines on a scale of 0 to 100, and an optional infobox.
The RSI scale is divided into zones:
• Scale high (100)
• Bull critical zone (80 - 100)
• Bull control zone (62 - 80)
• Scale midline (50)
• Bear control zone (20 - 38)
• Bear critical zone (0 - 20)
• Scale low (0)
The RSI plots which graphically display output closing price levels where Cutlers RSI value will crossover:
• RSI (eq) (previous RSI value)
• RSI MA signal line
• RSI Test price
• Alert level high
• Alert level low
The info box displays output closing price levels where Cutlers RSI value will crossover:
• Its previous value. ( RSI )
• Bull critical zone.
• Bull control zone.
• Mid-Line.
• Bear control zone.
• Bear critical zone.
• RSI MA signal line
• Alert level High
• Alert level low
And also displays the resultant RSI for a user defined closing price:
• Test price RSI
The infobox outputs can be shown for the current bar close, or the next bar close.
The user can easily select which information they want in the infobox from the setttings
Importantly:
All info box price levels for the current bar are calculated immediately upon the current bar closing and a new bar opening, they will not change until the current bar closes.
All info box price levels for the next bar are projections which are continually recalculated as the current price changes, and therefore fluctuate as the current price changes.
Understanding the Relative Strength Index
At its simplest the RSI is a measure of how quickly traders are bidding the price of an asset up or down.
It does this by calculating the difference in magnitude of price gains and losses over a specific lookback period to evaluate market conditions.
The RSI is displayed as an oscillator (a line graph that can move between two extremes) and outputs a value limited between 0 and 100.
It is typically accompanied by a moving average signal line.
Traditional interpretations
Overbought and oversold:
An RSI value of 70 or above indicates that an asset is becoming overbought (overvalued condition), and may be may be ready for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price.
An RSI value of 30 or below indicates that an asset is becoming oversold (undervalued condition), and may be may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price.
Midline Crossovers:
When the RSI crosses above its midline ( RSI > 50%) a bullish bias signal is generated. (only take long trades)
When the RSI crosses below its midline ( RSI < 50%) a bearish bias signal is generated. (only take short trades)
Bullish and bearish moving average signal Line crossovers:
When the RSI line crosses above its signal line, a bullish buy signal is generated
When the RSI line crosses below its signal line, a bearish sell signal is generated.
Swing Failures and classic rejection patterns:
If the RSI makes a lower high, and then follows with a downside move below the previous low, a Top Swing Failure has occurred.
If the RSI makes a higher low, and then follows with an upside move above the previous high, a Bottom Swing Failure has occurred.
Examples of classic swing rejection patterns
Bullish swing rejection pattern:
The RSI moves into oversold zone (below 30%).
The RSI rejects back out of the oversold zone (above 30%)
The RSI forms another dip without crossing back into oversold zone.
The RSI then continues the bounce to break up above the previous high.
Bearish swing rejection pattern:
The RSI moves into overbought zone (above 70%).
The RSI rejects back out of the overbought zone (below 70%)
The RSI forms another peak without crossing back into overbought zone.
The RSI then continues to break down below the previous low.
Divergences:
A regular bullish RSI divergence is when the price makes lower lows in a downtrend and the RSI indicator makes higher lows.
A regular bearish RSI divergence is when the price makes higher highs in an uptrend and the RSI indicator makes lower highs.
A hidden bullish RSI divergence is when the price makes higher lows in an uptrend and the RSI indicator makes lower lows.
A hidden bearish RSI divergence is when the price makes lower highs in a downtrend and the RSI indicator makes higher highs.
Regular divergences can signal a reversal of the trending direction.
Hidden divergences can signal a continuation in the direction of the trend.
Chart Patterns:
RSI regularly forms classic chart patterns that may not show on the underlying price chart, such as ascending and descending triangles & wedges , double tops, bottoms and trend lines etc.
Support and Resistance:
It is very often easier to define support or resistance levels on the RSI itself rather than the price chart.
Modern interpretations in trending markets:
Modern interpretations of the RSI stress the context of the greater trend when using RSI signals such as crossovers, overbought/oversold conditions, divergences and patterns.
Constance Brown, CMT , was one of the first who promoted the idea that an oversold reading on the RSI in an uptrend is likely much higher than 30%, and that an overbought reading on the RSI during a downtrend is much lower than the 70% level.
In an uptrend or bull market, the RSI tends to remain in the 40 to 90 range, with the 40-50 zone acting as support.
During a downtrend or bear market, the RSI tends to stay between the 10 to 60 range, with the 50-60 zone acting as resistance.
For ease of executing more modern and nuanced interpretations of RSI it is very useful to break the RSI scale into bull and bear control and critical zones.
These ranges will vary depending on the RSI settings and the strength of the specific market’s underlying trend.
Limitations of the RSI
Like most technical indicators, its signals are most reliable when they conform to the long-term trend.
True trend reversal signals are rare, and can be difficult to separate from false signals.
False signals or “fake-outs”, e.g. a bullish crossover, followed by a sudden decline in price, are common.
Since the indicator displays momentum, it can stay overbought or oversold for a long time when an asset has significant sustained momentum in either direction.
Data Length Dependency when using wilders smoothing method of calculating RSI means that wilders standard RSI will have a potential initialization error which reduces with every new data point calculated meaning early results should be regarded as unreliable until calculation iterations have occurred for convergence.

Renowned financial software developer, co-author of academic books on finance, and scientific fellow to the Department of Finance and Insurance at the Technological Educational Institute of Crete, Giorgos Siligardos PHD. brought a new perspective to Wilder’s RSI when he published his excellent and well-received articles "Reverse Engineering RSI " and "Reverse Engineering RSI II " in the June 2003, and August 2003 issues of Stocks & Commodities magazine, where he described his methods of reverse engineering Wilders RSI.
Several excellent Implementations of the Reverse Wilders Relative Strength Index have been published here on Tradingview and elsewhere.
My utmost respect, and all due credits to authors of related prior works.
Introduction
It is worth noting that while the general RSI formula, and the logic dictating the UpMove and DownMove data series as described above has remained the same as the Wilders original formulation, it has been interpreted in a different way by using a different method of averaging the upward, and downward moves.
Cutler recognized the issue of data length dependency when using wilders smoothing method of calculating RSI which means that wilders standard RSI will have a potential initialization error which reduces with every new data point calculated meaning early results should be regarded as unreliable until enough calculation iterations have occurred for convergence.
Hence Cutler proposed using Simple Moving Averaging for gain and loss data which this Indicator is based on.
Having "Reverse engineered" prices for any oscillator makes the planning, and execution of strategies around that oscillator far simpler, more timely and effective.
Introducing the Reverse Cutlers RSI which consists of plotted lines on a scale of 0 to 100, and an optional infobox.
The RSI scale is divided into zones:
• Scale high (100)
• Bull critical zone (80 - 100)
• Bull control zone (62 - 80)
• Scale midline (50)
• Bear critical zone (20 - 38)
• Bear control zone (0 - 20)
• Scale low (0)
The RSI plots are:
• Cutlers RSI
• RSI MA signal line
• Test price RSI
• Alert level high
• Alert level low
The info box displays output closing price levels where Cutlers RSI value will crossover:
• Its previous value. (RSI )
• Bull critical zone.
• Bull control zone.
• Mid-Line.
• Bear control zone.
• Bear critical zone.
• RSI MA signal line
• Alert level High
• Alert level low
And also displays the resultant RSI for a user defined closing price:
• Test price RSI
The infobox outputs can be shown for the current bar close, or the next bar close.
The user can easily select which information they want in the infobox from the setttings
Importantly:
All info box price levels for the current bar are calculated immediately upon the current bar closing and a new bar opening, they will not change until the current bar closes.
All info box price levels for the next bar are projections which are continually recalculated as the current price changes, and therefore fluctuate as the current price changes.
Understanding the Relative Strength Index
At its simplest the RSI is a measure of how quickly traders are bidding the price of an asset up or down.
It does this by calculating the difference in magnitude of price gains and losses over a specific lookback period to evaluate market conditions.
The RSI is displayed as an oscillator (a line graph that can move between two extremes) and outputs a value limited between 0 and 100.
It is typically accompanied by a moving average signal line.
Traditional interpretations
Overbought and oversold:
An RSI value of 70 or above indicates that an asset is becoming overbought (overvalued condition), and may be may be ready for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price.
An RSI value of 30 or below indicates that an asset is becoming oversold (undervalued condition), and may be may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price.
Midline Crossovers:
When the RSI crosses above its midline (RSI > 50%) a bullish bias signal is generated. (only take long trades)
When the RSI crosses below its midline (RSI < 50%) a bearish bias signal is generated. (only take short trades)
Bullish and bearish moving average signal Line crossovers:
When the RSI line crosses above its signal line, a bullish buy signal is generated
When the RSI line crosses below its signal line, a bearish sell signal is generated.
Swing Failures and classic rejection patterns:
If the RSI makes a lower high, and then follows with a downside move below the previous low, a Top Swing Failure has occurred.
If the RSI makes a higher low, and then follows with an upside move above the previous high, a Bottom Swing Failure has occurred.
Examples of classic swing rejection patterns
Bullish swing rejection pattern:
The RSI moves into oversold zone (below 30%).
The RSI rejects back out of the oversold zone (above 30%)
The RSI forms another dip without crossing back into oversold zone.
The RSI then continues the bounce to break up above the previous high.
Bearish swing rejection pattern:
The RSI moves into overbought zone (above 70%).
The RSI rejects back out of the overbought zone (below 70%)
The RSI forms another peak without crossing back into overbought zone.
The RSI then continues to break down below the previous low.
Divergences:
A regular bullish RSI divergence is when the price makes lower lows in a downtrend and the RSI indicator makes higher lows.
A regular bearish RSI divergence is when the price makes higher highs in an uptrend and the RSI indicator makes lower highs.
A hidden bullish RSI divergence is when the price makes higher lows in an uptrend and the RSI indicator makes lower lows.
A hidden bearish RSI divergence is when the price makes lower highs in a downtrend and the RSI indicator makes higher highs.
Regular divergences can signal a reversal of the trending direction.
Hidden divergences can signal a continuation in the direction of the trend.
Chart Patterns:
RSI regularly forms classic chart patterns that may not show on the underlying price chart, such as ascending and descending triangles & wedges, double tops, bottoms and trend lines etc.
Support and Resistance:
It is very often easier to define support or resistance levels on the RSI itself rather than the price chart.
Modern interpretations in trending markets:
Modern interpretations of the RSI stress the context of the greater trend when using RSI signals such as crossovers, overbought/oversold conditions, divergences and patterns.
Constance Brown, CMT, was one of the first who promoted the idea that an oversold reading on the RSI in an uptrend is likely much higher than 30%, and that an overbought reading on the RSI during a downtrend is much lower than the 70% level.
In an uptrend or bull market, the RSI tends to remain in the 40 to 90 range, with the 40-50 zone acting as support.
During a downtrend or bear market, the RSI tends to stay between the 10 to 60 range, with the 50-60 zone acting as resistance.
For ease of executing more modern and nuanced interpretations of RSI it is very useful to break the RSI scale into bull and bear control and critical zones.
These ranges will vary depending on the RSI settings and the strength of the specific market’s underlying trend.
Limitations of the RSI
Like most technical indicators, its signals are most reliable when they conform to the long-term trend.
True trend reversal signals are rare, and can be difficult to separate from false signals.
False signals or “fake-outs”, e.g. a bullish crossover, followed by a sudden decline in price, are common.
Since the indicator displays momentum, it can stay overbought or oversold for a long time when an asset has significant sustained momentum in either direction.
Data Length Dependency when using wilders smoothing method of calculating RSI means that wilders standard RSI will have a potential initialization error which reduces with every new data point calculated meaning early results should be regarded as unreliable until calculation iterations have occurred for convergence.
Volume Weighted RSI (VW RSI)The Volume Weighted RSI (VW RSI) is a momentum oscillator designed for TradingView, implemented in Pine Script v6, that enhances the traditional Relative Strength Index (RSI) by incorporating trading volume into its calculation. Unlike the standard RSI, which measures the speed and change of price movements based solely on price data, the VW RSI weights its analysis by volume, emphasizing price movements backed by significant trading activity. This makes the VW RSI particularly effective for identifying bullish or bearish momentum, overbought/oversold conditions, and potential trend reversals in markets where volume plays a critical role, such as stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies.
Key Features
Volume-Weighted Momentum Calculation:
The VW RSI calculates momentum by comparing the volume associated with upward price movements (up-volume) to the volume associated with downward price movements (down-volume).
Up-volume is the volume on bars where the closing price is higher than the previous close, while down-volume is the volume on bars where the closing price is lower than the previous close.
These volumes are smoothed over a user-defined period (default: 14 bars) using a Running Moving Average (RMA), and the VW RSI is computed using the formula:
\text{VW RSI} = 100 - \frac{100}{1 + \text{VoRS}}
where
\text{VoRS} = \frac{\text{Average Up-Volume}}{\text{Average Down-Volume}}
.
Oscillator Range and Interpretation:
The VW RSI oscillates between 0 and 100, with a centerline at 50.
Above 50: Indicates bullish volume momentum, suggesting that volume on up bars dominates, which may signal buying pressure and a potential uptrend.
Below 50: Indicates bearish volume momentum, suggesting that volume on down bars dominates, which may signal selling pressure and a potential downtrend.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: User-defined thresholds (default: 70 for overbought, 30 for oversold) help identify potential reversal points:
VW RSI > 70: Overbought, indicating a possible pullback or reversal.
VW RSI < 30: Oversold, indicating a possible bounce or reversal.
Visual Elements:
VW RSI Line: Plotted in a separate pane below the price chart, colored dynamically based on its value:
Green when above 50 (bullish momentum).
Red when below 50 (bearish momentum).
Gray when at 50 (neutral).
Centerline: A dashed line at 50, optionally displayed, serving as the neutral threshold between bullish and bearish momentum.
Overbought/Oversold Lines: Dashed lines at the user-defined overbought (default: 70) and oversold (default: 30) levels, optionally displayed, to highlight extreme conditions.
Background Coloring: The background of the VW RSI pane is shaded red when the indicator is in overbought territory and green when in oversold territory, providing a quick visual cue of potential reversal zones.
Alerts:
Built-in alerts for key events:
Bullish Momentum: Triggered when the VW RSI crosses above 50, indicating a shift to bullish volume momentum.
Bearish Momentum: Triggered when the VW RSI crosses below 50, indicating a shift to bearish volume momentum.
Overbought Condition: Triggered when the VW RSI crosses above the overbought threshold (default: 70), signaling a potential pullback.
Oversold Condition: Triggered when the VW RSI crosses below the oversold threshold (default: 30), signaling a potential bounce.
Input Parameters
VW RSI Length (default: 14): The period over which the up-volume and down-volume are smoothed to calculate the VW RSI. A longer period results in smoother signals, while a shorter period increases sensitivity.
Overbought Level (default: 70): The threshold above which the VW RSI is considered overbought, indicating a potential reversal or pullback.
Oversold Level (default: 30): The threshold below which the VW RSI is considered oversold, indicating a potential reversal or bounce.
Show Centerline (default: true): Toggles the display of the 50 centerline, which separates bullish and bearish momentum zones.
Show Overbought/Oversold Lines (default: true): Toggles the display of the overbought and oversold threshold lines.
How It Works
Volume Classification:
For each bar, the indicator determines whether the price movement is upward or downward:
If the current close is higher than the previous close, the bar’s volume is classified as up-volume.
If the current close is lower than the previous close, the bar’s volume is classified as down-volume.
If the close is unchanged, both up-volume and down-volume are set to 0 for that bar.
Smoothing:
The up-volume and down-volume are smoothed using a Running Moving Average (RMA) over the specified period (default: 14 bars) to reduce noise and provide a more stable measure of volume momentum.
VW RSI Calculation:
The Volume Relative Strength (VoRS) is calculated as the ratio of smoothed up-volume to smoothed down-volume.
The VW RSI is then computed using the standard RSI formula, but with volume data instead of price changes, resulting in a value between 0 and 100.
Visualization and Alerts:
The VW RSI is plotted with dynamic coloring to reflect its momentum direction, and optional lines are drawn for the centerline and overbought/oversold levels.
Background coloring highlights overbought and oversold conditions, and alerts notify the trader of significant crossings.
Usage
Timeframe: The VW RSI can be used on any timeframe, but it is particularly effective on intraday charts (e.g., 1-hour, 4-hour) or daily charts where volume data is reliable. Shorter timeframes may require a shorter length for increased sensitivity, while longer timeframes may benefit from a longer length for smoother signals.
Markets: Best suited for markets with significant and reliable volume data, such as stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies. It may be less effective in markets with low or inconsistent volume, such as certain futures contracts.
Trading Strategies:
Trend Confirmation:
Use the VW RSI to confirm the direction of a trend. For example, in an uptrend, look for the VW RSI to remain above 50, indicating sustained bullish volume momentum, and consider buying on pullbacks when the VW RSI dips but stays above 50.
In a downtrend, look for the VW RSI to remain below 50, indicating sustained bearish volume momentum, and consider selling on rallies when the VW RSI rises but stays below 50.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions:
When the VW RSI crosses above 70, the market may be overbought, suggesting a potential pullback or reversal. Consider taking profits on long positions or preparing for a short entry, but confirm with price action or other indicators.
When the VW RSI crosses below 30, the market may be oversold, suggesting a potential bounce or reversal. Consider entering long positions or covering shorts, but confirm with additional signals.
Divergences:
Look for divergences between the VW RSI and price to spot potential reversals. For example, if the price makes a higher high but the VW RSI makes a lower high, this bearish divergence may signal an impending downtrend.
Conversely, if the price makes a lower low but the VW RSI makes a higher low, this bullish divergence may signal an impending uptrend.
Momentum Shifts:
A crossover above 50 can signal the start of bullish momentum, making it a potential entry point for long trades.
A crossunder below 50 can signal the start of bearish momentum, making it a potential entry point for short trades or an exit for long positions.
Example
On a 4-hour SOLUSDT chart:
During an uptrend, the VW RSI might rise above 50 and stay there, confirming bullish volume momentum. If it approaches 70, it may indicate overbought conditions, as seen near a price peak of 145.08, suggesting a potential pullback.
During a downtrend, the VW RSI might fall below 50, confirming bearish volume momentum. If it drops below 30 near a price low of 141.82, it may indicate oversold conditions, suggesting a potential bounce, as seen in a slight recovery afterward.
A bullish divergence might occur if the price makes a lower low during the downtrend, but the VW RSI makes a higher low, signaling a potential reversal.
Limitations
Lagging Nature: Like the traditional RSI, the VW RSI is a lagging indicator because it relies on smoothed data (RMA). It may not react quickly to sudden price reversals, potentially missing the start of new trends.
False Signals in Ranging Markets: In choppy or ranging markets, the VW RSI may oscillate around 50, generating frequent crossovers that lead to false signals. Combining it with a trend filter (e.g., ADX) can help mitigate this.
Volume Data Dependency: The VW RSI relies on accurate volume data, which may be inconsistent or unavailable in some markets (e.g., certain forex pairs or futures contracts). In such cases, the indicator’s effectiveness may be reduced.
Overbought/Oversold in Strong Trends: During strong trends, the VW RSI can remain in overbought or oversold territory for extended periods, leading to premature exit signals. Use additional confirmation to avoid exiting too early.
Potential Improvements
Smoothing Options: Add options to use different smoothing methods (e.g., EMA, SMA) instead of RMA for the up/down volume calculations, allowing users to adjust the indicator’s responsiveness.
Divergence Detection: Include logic to detect and plot bullish/bearish divergences between the VW RSI and price, providing visual cues for potential reversals.
Customizable Colors: Allow users to customize the colors of the VW RSI line, centerline, overbought/oversold lines, and background shading.
Trend Filter: Integrate a trend strength filter (e.g., ADX > 25) to ensure signals are generated only during strong trends, reducing false signals in ranging markets.
The Volume Weighted RSI (VW RSI) is a powerful tool for traders seeking to incorporate volume into their momentum analysis, offering a unique perspective on market dynamics by emphasizing price movements backed by significant trading activity. It is best used in conjunction with other indicators and price action analysis to confirm signals and improve trading decisions.

Delta Volume Columns [LucF]Displays delta volume columns using intrabar volume information. Each volume column is divided into three sections: buying, selling and neutral volume. Volume for each section is determined from the volume and price movement of each intrabar at a user-selected lower resolution.
Features include:
- Choice of color themes for either dark or light chart backgrounds
- Delta volume columns
- Volume Balance displayed as the difference between the MAs of buying and selling volume
- Display of divergences between a bar’s volume balance and the bar’s price movement (example: buying volume > selling volume but close < open). Divergences can be shown in 2 different color schemes (including green/red showing a tentative direction), on volume columns and/or on chart bars
- Display of bar by bar volume balance with highlighting of above average volume
- Display of the usual total volume MA
- Choice of the lower resolution used to retrieve intrabar information
- Alerts configurable on any combination of the markers, with control over long/short direction
- Choice of 3 different markers:
1. Double bumps: two consecutive bars where buying or selling volume is in the same direction and where volume > volume MA
2. Divergence confirmations: direction of the price bar following a price/volume balance divergence
3. Volume balance shifts: zero level crossings of the volume balance MA delta
The chart shows the two main modes of display:
- Top pane : shows the stacked volume columns with divergences in orange and the flattened volume balance MAs delta at the bottom of the volume columns. This volume balance is the same shown in the bottom pane. The top pane also shows the instant volume balance strip above the volume columns. The strip’s colors show which of the buying or selling volume was greater, and colors are brighter if the total volume was above the total volume MA.
- Bottom pane : shows the volume balance MAs delta with markers 1 and 2. Given that this graphic has no price momentum component, I find quite eerie how it often looks like a momentum-based signal.
The default 5 minute intrabar resolution is used in combination with the weekly chart, which is excessive.
This script uses a special characteristic of the security() function’s behavior when it is sent to a resolution lower than the chart’s resolution. Details are given in the script’s comments. This method has the advantage of working under more circumstances than some of the other loop-based methods, but it also has its limits.
IMPORTANT
This is what you need to know:
- The method used does not work on the realtime bar—only on historical bars. Consequently, the volume column shown on the realtime bar is a normal volume column plotted in green or red, following price movement. The column will only show delta volume information after it closes and becomes a historical bar.
- The indicator only works on some chart resolutions: 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month. The script’s code can be modified to run on other resolutions, but chart resolutions must be divisible by the lower resolution used for intrabars.
- Intrabar resolutions can be selected from 1, 5, 15, 30, 45 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month. The intrabar resolution must of course be smaller than the chart’s resolution.
- Contrary to my other indicators where alerts must be configured to trigger “Once Per Bar Close” in order to avoid false triggers (or repainting), all this indicator’s alerts are designed to trigger using previous bar information since the indicator’s calculations in the realtime bar are not exact. Markers are not plotted with a negative offset; they appear at the beginning of the realtime bar following confirmation of the marker’s condition on the previous bar. Alerts for this indicator should thus be configured to trigger “Once Per Bar” so they trigger at the beginning of the realtime bar. Note that the penalty is not that great, as it is simply the instant between the close of the previous realtime bar and the opening of the next. The advantage of using this technique is that the indicator does not repaint; a marker that appears at the beginning of the realtime bar will never disappear.
- The script only plots information that is reliable in the realtime bar, i.e., total volume and markers. All other plots are set to n/a to prevent misleading traders.
- When the difference between the chart’s resolution and the lower resolution is too important, volume columns will not calculate for all bars in the dataset.
On Delta Volume
Buying or selling volume are misnomers, as every unit of volume transacted is both bought and sold by 2 different traders. There is no such thing as “buy only” or “sell only” volume, but trader lingo is riddled with original fabulations.
Without access to order book information, traders work with the assumption that when price moves up during a bar, there was more buying pressure than selling pressure. The built-in volume indicator available on TradingView uses this logic to color the volume columns green or red. While this script’s numbers are more precise because it analyses a number of intrabars to calculate its information, it uses the exact same imperfect logic to calculate its buying/selling/neutral sections.
Until Pine scripts can have access to how much volume was transacted at the bid/ask prices, our so-called buying/selling volume information will always be a mere proxy.
Divergences
You may wonder how there can be divergences between buying/selling volume information and price movement. This will sometimes be due to the methodology’s shortcomings we have just discussed, but divergences may also occur in instances where because of order book structure, it takes less volume to increase the price of an asset than it takes to decrease it.
As usual, divergences are points of interest because they reveal imbalances, which may or may not become turning points. I do not share the overwhelming enthusiasm traders have for divergences. To your pattern-hungry brain, the orange bars this indicator shows on chart will—as divergences on other indicators do–appear to often indicate turnarounds. My opinion is that reality is generally quite sobering, as many who have tried building automated rules based on divergences will tell you. I do not have hard numbers on the lack of performance of divergences—only many failed attempts to make them perform, which a few experienced strategy modelers I know share with me. Please don’t try to read too much into them. While they look great on past data, I find they are often difficult to use in realtime to make bets with good odds.
Thanks to:
- A guy called Kuan who commented on a Backtest Rookies presentation of an intrabar delta volume indicator using a for loop. The heart of “my” indicator is code borrowed from Kuan; I just built a hopefully useful wrapper around it.

SMT SwiftEdge PowerhouseSMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse: Precision Trading with Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones
The SMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse is a powerful trading tool designed to help traders identify high-probability entry points during the most active market sessions—London and New York. By combining Smart Money Technique (SMT) Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zones, this script provides a unique and cohesive strategy for capturing market reversals with precision. Whether you're a scalper or a swing trader, this indicator offers clear visual signals to enhance your trading decisions on any timeframe.
What Does This Script Do?
This script integrates three key concepts to identify potential trading opportunities:
SMT Divergence:
SMT Divergence compares the price action of two correlated assets (e.g., Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures) to detect hidden market reversals. When one asset makes a higher high while the other makes a lower high (bearish divergence), or one makes a lower low while the other makes a higher low (bullish divergence), it signals a potential reversal. This technique leverages institutional "smart money" behavior to anticipate market shifts.
Liquidity Grabs:
Liquidity Grabs occur when price breaks above recent highs or below recent lows on higher timeframes (5m and 15m), often triggering stop-loss orders from retail traders. These breakouts are identified using pivot points and confirm institutional activity, setting the stage for a reversal. The script focuses on liquidity grabs during the London and New York sessions for maximum market activity.
Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) Zones:
OTE Zones are Fibonacci-based retracement areas (e.g., 61.8%) calculated after a liquidity grab. These zones highlight where price is likely to retrace before continuing in the direction of the reversal, offering a high-probability entry point. The script adjusts the width of these zones using the Average True Range (ATR) to adapt to market volatility.
By combining these components, the script identifies when institutional activity (liquidity grabs) aligns with market reversals (SMT divergence) and pinpoints precise entry points (OTE zones) during high-liquidity sessions.
Why Combine These Components?
The integration of SMT Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones creates a robust trading system for several reasons:
Synergy of Institutional Signals: SMT Divergence and Liquidity Grabs both reflect "smart money" behavior—divergence shows hidden reversals, while liquidity grabs confirm institutional intent to trap retail traders. Together, they provide a strong foundation for identifying high-probability setups.
Session-Based Precision: Focusing on the London and New York sessions ensures signals occur during periods of high volatility and liquidity, increasing their reliability.
Precision Entries with OTE: After confirming a setup with divergence and liquidity grabs, OTE zones provide a clear entry area, reducing guesswork and improving trade accuracy.
Adaptability: The script works on any timeframe, with adjustable settings for signal sensitivity, session times, and Fibonacci levels, making it versatile for different trading styles.
This combination makes the script unique by aligning institutional insights with actionable entry points, tailored to the most active market hours.
How to Use the Script
Setup:
Add the script to your chart (works on any timeframe, e.g., 1m, 5m, 15m).
Configure the settings in the indicator's inputs:
Session Settings: Adjust the start/end times for London and New York sessions (default: London 8-11 UTC, New York 13-16 UTC). You can disable session restrictions if desired.
Asset Settings: Set the primary and secondary assets for SMT Divergence (default: NQ1! and ES1!). Ensure the assets are correlated.
Signal Settings: Adjust the lookback period, ATR period, and signal sensitivity (Low/Medium/High) to control the frequency of signals.
OTE Settings: Choose the Fibonacci level for OTE zones (default: 61.8%).
Visual Settings: Enable/disable OTE zones, SMT labels, and debug labels for troubleshooting.
Interpreting Signals:
Blue Circles: Indicate a liquidity grab (price breaking a 5m or 15m pivot high/low), marking the start of a potential setup.
Blue OTE Zones: Appear after a liquidity grab, showing the retracement area (e.g., 61.8% Fibonacci level) where price is likely to enter for a reversal trade. The label "OTE Trigger 5m/15m" confirms the direction (Short/Long) and session.
Green/Red Entry Boxes: Mark precise entry points when price enters the OTE zone and confirms the SMT Divergence. Green boxes indicate a long entry, red boxes a short entry.
Trading Example:
On a 1m chart, a blue circle appears when price breaks a 5m pivot high during the London session.
A blue OTE zone forms, showing a retracement area (e.g., 61.8% Fibonacci level) with the label "OTE Trigger 5m/15m (Short, London)".
Price retraces into the OTE zone, and a red "Short Entry" box appears, confirming a bearish SMT Divergence.
Enter a short trade at the red box, with a stop-loss above the OTE zone and a take-profit at the next support level.
Originality and Utility
The SMT SwiftEdge Powerhouse stands out by merging SMT Divergence, Liquidity Grabs, and OTE Zones into a single, session-focused indicator. Unlike traditional indicators that focus on one aspect of price action, this script combines institutional reversal signals with precise entry zones, tailored to the most active market hours. Its adaptability across timeframes, customizable settings, and clear visual cues make it a versatile tool for traders seeking to capitalize on smart money movements with confidence.
Tips for Best Results
Use on correlated assets like NQ1! (Nasdaq futures) and ES1! (S&P 500 futures) for accurate SMT Divergence.
Test on lower timeframes (1m, 5m) for scalping or higher timeframes (15m, 1H) for swing trading.
Adjust the "Signal Sensitivity" to "High" for more signals or "Low" for fewer, high-quality setups.
Enable "Show Debug Labels" if signals are not appearing as expected, to troubleshoot pivot points and liquidity grabs.
Enhanced CCI with Trend FiltersThis indicator combines the power of the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) with adaptive trend filters and divergence detection to identify high-probability trading opportunities. It's designed to reduce false signals by incorporating trend direction and divergence confirmation.

- Uses an adaptive Simple Moving Average (SMA) that automatically adjusts between daily and weekly timeframes
- Daily mode: Default 200 SMA for longer-term trend
- Weekly mode: Default 40 SMA for broader market perspective
- Trend direction is determined by comparing current SMA value to its previous value
2. CCI Component:
- Traditional CCI calculation with customizable length (default: 20)
- Adjustable overbought (default: +100) and oversold (default: -100) levels
- Color-coded CCI line for quick visual reference:
* Green: Overbought and rising
* Red: Oversold and falling
* Gray: Neutral zone
3. Signal Generation:
- Buy Signal (Green Background):
* CCI crosses above oversold level AND
* Main trend is confirmed bullish (rising SMA)
- Sell Signal (Red Background):
* CCI crosses below overbought level AND
* Main trend is confirmed bearish (falling SMA)
4. Divergence Detection:
- Automatically identifies bullish and bearish divergences
- Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower low while CCI makes higher low
- Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher high while CCI makes lower high
- Visualized with distinct markers on the CCI line
- Can be used to set up alerts for divergence confirmations
⚙️ Customization Options:
- CCI calculation length and price source
- Overbought/Oversold levels
- SMA lengths for daily and weekly modes
- Divergence lookback period
- Signal colors and visualization settings
🔔 Alert Capabilities:
- Set alerts for CCI crossovers of overbought/oversold levels
- Create divergence detection alerts
- Configure trend change notifications
- Combine multiple conditions for complex alert strategies
💡 Trading Tips:
- Combine divergence signals with trend direction for better accuracy
- Wait for signal confirmation before entering trades
- Use additional indicators or price action for exit decisions
This indicator helps traders identify potential trend reversals while keeping them aligned with the main market trend. Perfect for both trend following and counter-trend strategies when used appropriately.

MACD All In One Screener [ChartPrime]INTRODUCTION
MACD All In One Screener (ChartPrime) is a multi instrument, multi timeframe indicator designed to provide traders with a comprehensive solution to monitoring the market. This indicator is designed to be easy to use and visually appealing while also being highly flexible and feature rich. Users can pick up to 10 symbols not including the chart's symbol and set up alerts for many different signals that the MACD produces. One standout feature of this indicator is its ability to display not only each symbol individually as a MACD but you can also view its chart from within this indicator. This removes the need to flip between symbols to see the price action for your basket.
On top of that we have designed this indicator to be friendly with "indicator on indicator" by providing outputs for all of the standards of price that users may want. Included is an overview section that shows all of the symbols signals symbolically over time. Additionally we have included a table for easy monitoring. This table includes the symbol, its timeframe, the current alert, and its histogram state. To make things as user friendly as possible we have also included rich error handling that tells you exactly what is wrong with your configuration.
HOW TO USE
To use this indicator, simply add it to your chart and navigate to the settings. From there select the symbols you want to monitor and the timeframes you want to use. Next you want to navigate down to the alerts section to select the what alerts you want to receive, and what symbols you want to get alerts for. Finally, you wan to create your alert using "Any alert() function call". Now your screener is all set up!
OVERVIEW OF INPUTS
View allows you to select what the indicator currently displays. You can pick from any one of the selected symbols, an overview of all of the symbols, or simply nothing. If you want to only use the table, "None" is provided so you can move the indicator into the chart panel.
View Toggle lets you pick from displaying the MACD for the selected symbol or the Price Action as a candle chart. To see your "indicator on indicator" you will have to select a symbol from the view list. There is a bug where if you select "Overview" while you are using "indicator on indicator" your added indicator will see the last symbol you viewed. To fix this, simply change the setting of your overlaid indicator and it will correct its self.
History Length is the number of historical bars to calculate over. This feature is here to prevent the indicator from breaking due to uneven historical data between the symbols.
Show Price Line toggles a dotted line that follows the current symbols closing price when "Price" is selected under the "View Toggle" dropdown.
Show Symbol Label toggles a label that displays the current symbols name and timeframe. This only impacts the single symbol view.
Overview Label Color adjusts the color of the symbol labels for both overview and single symbol view.
MA Type lets you pick what kind of moving average you want to use for the oscillator or signal. You can pick from the standard SMA or EMA.
Fast Length is a standard input for MACD. This lets you pick the period of the fast MA.
Slow Length , just like Fast Lenght, is a standard input for MACD. This lets you pick the period of the slow MA.
Signal Length is another standard input for MACD. This lets you configure the period of the signal MA.
MACD Cross Overlay Icon is a toggle to display MACD crosses when viewing a single symbol's MACD. When the MACD has a bullish cross it will plot a bullish dot, and when it has a bearish cross it will plot a bearish dot. This is purely visual.
Regular Bullish and Bearish toggles the visual display of the divergences on the single symbol view. This does not effect the indicators ability do send alerts.
Divergence Look Right adjusts the number of bars into the future to look for confirmation of a signal. This directly impacts lag but enhances stability.
Divergence Look Left adjusts the number of bars into the past to check for a signal. A longer period will filter out smaller moves
Maximum Lookback adjusts the maximum size of a divergence.
Minimum Lookback adjusts the minimum size of a divergence.
Divergence Drawings picks how you want to visualize the divergence. You can pick from displaying it as a line, a label, or both.
Enable Table toggles the overview table. When enabled it will show you the enabled symbols and their current state. From left to right: symbol name, timeframe, current alert, and histogram state.
Position picks where on the chart you want the table to be.
Text Color adjusts the text color of the table.
BG Color adjusts the background color of the table.
Frame Color adjust the frame color of the table.
Current Symbol Time Frame adjusts the timeframe of the chart's symbol.
Symbol 1 - 10 pick "Symbol's" symbol and timeframe. To use higher timeframes, the symbol's have to be the same type. You can't have a crypto and a stock using HTF at the same time as they don't have the same sessions and will result in an error. You can use unsafe mode (as described below) to potentially get around this.
Enable Symbol when enabled it will give you alerts for the symbol. This also enables the symbol in the overview. If this is disabled it won't send alerts, and it will not show up in overview, or the table.
Wait for Close enables waiting for the bar to close before printing an alert.
Alert Symbol Size picks what size you want the overview symbols to be.
Enable Cross Over 0 Alert: MACD crosses over the 0 line.
Enable Cross Under 0 Alert: MACD crosses under the 0 line.
Enable MACD Cross Bullish Alert: Bullish MACD cross.
Enable MACD Cross Bearish Alert: Bearish MACD cross.
Enable Histogram Bullish Turn Alert: MACD begins to turn bullish but hasn't crossed.
Enable Histogram Bearish Turn Alert: MACD begins to turn bearish but hasn't crossed.
Enable Histogram Bullish Continuation Alert: MACD is in a bullish cross state and it was declining but began rising again.
Enable Histogram Bearish Continuation Alert: MACD is in a bearish cross state and it was rising but began falling again.
Enable Bullish/Bearish Divergence Alert enables divergence alerts. Divergences are lagging, especially on a higher timeframe. These alerts will also tell you the time in the past when the divergence occurred.
Color Section is provided to allow for personalization of the indicator. Everything can be adjusted here.
Disable Error Checking: Only enable this if you want to bypass the built in error checking. This will enable 'Safe Requesting'. Safe Requesting will only request enabled symbols and you will not be able to view symbols that are not enabled in this mode. Only use this if you want to mix symbol types and you know it will work. (An example would be viewing stocks and SPY at the same time.)
CONCLUSION
The MACD All In One Screener (ChartPrime) is a versatile indicator designed to monitor multiple symbols across various timeframes. The flexibility in customization, from MACD settings to visual alerts and table presentations, allows users to tailor the screener to their needs and preferences. We hope you find this as useful and interesting as we do and wish you good luck in the market!

RSI Supreme Multi-Method [MyTradingCoder]Introducing the "RSI Supreme Multi-Method" indicator, a powerful tool that combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with selectable manipulation methods to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market, along with the ability to detect divergences for enhanced trading insights.
The indicator features four distinct manipulation methods for the RSI, each providing valuable insights into market conditions:
1. Standard RSI Method: The indicator uses the traditional RSI calculation to identify overbought and oversold areas.
2. Volatility Weighted RSI Method: This method applies a volatility formula to the RSI calculation, allowing for a more responsive indication of market conditions during periods of heightened volatility. Users can adjust the length of the volatility formula to fine-tune this method.
3. Smoothed RSI Method: The smoothed RSI method utilizes a smoothing algorithm to reduce noise in the RSI values, presenting a clearer representation of overbought and oversold conditions. The length of the smoothing can be adjusted to match your trading preferences.
4. Session Weighted RSI Method: With this innovative method, users can specify multipliers for different time sessions throughout the day to manipulate the base RSI. Each session can be customized with start and end times, enabling or disabling specific sessions, and specifying the multiplier for each session. This feature allows traders to adapt the RSI to different market sessions dynamically.
Additionally, the "RSI Supreme Multi-Method" indicator draws divergences on the oscillator, providing an extra layer of analysis for traders. Divergences occur when the direction of the RSI differs from the direction of the price movement, potentially signaling trend reversals.
Key Settings:
RSI Length: Adjust the length of the base RSI before applying any manipulation.
RSI Source: Determine the data source for the base RSI calculation.
Overbought Value: Set the RSI value at which overbought conditions are indicated.
Oversold Value: Set the RSI value at which oversold conditions are indicated.
RSI Type: Choose from four options: Standard, Smoothed, Volatility Manipulated, or Session Manipulated.

[blackcat] L1 New TRIX ScalperNOTE: Because the originally released script failed to comply with the House Rule in the description, it was banned. After revising and reviewing the description, it is republished again. Please forgive the inconvenience caused.
Level: 1
Background
The Triple Exponential Moving Average (TRIX) indicator is a strong technical analysis tool. It can help investors determine the price momentum and identify oversold and overbought signals in a financial asset. Jack Hutson is the creator of the TRIX indicator . He created it in the early 1980s to show the rate of change in a triple exponentially smoothed moving average.
When used as an oscillator, it shows a potential peak and trough price zones. A positive value tells traders that there is an overbought market while a negative value means an oversold market. When traders use TRIX as a momentum indicator, it filters spikes in the price that are vital to the general dominant trend.
A positive value means momentum is rising while a negative value means that momentum is reducing. A lot of analysts believe that when the TRIX crosses above the zero line it produces a buy signal, and when it closes below the zero line, it produces a sell signal.The indicator has three major components:
Zero line
TRIX line (or histograms)
Percentage Scale
Function
The TRIX indicator determines overbought and oversold markets, and it can also be a momentum indicator. Just as it is with most oscillators, TRIX oscillates around a zero line. Additionally, divergences between price and TRIX can mean great turning points in the market. TRIX calculates a triple exponential moving average of the log of the price input. It calculates this based on the time specified by the length input for the current bar.
Trading TRIX indicator signals
Zero line cross
TRIX can help determine the impulse of the market. With the 0 value acting as a centerline, if it crosses from below, it will be mean that the impulse is growing in the market.Traders can, therefore, look for opportunities to place buy orders in the market. Similarly, a cross of the centerline from above will mean a shrinking impulse in the market. Traders can, therefore, look for opportunities to sell in the market.
Signal line cross
To select the best entry points, investors add a signal line on the TRIX indicator. The signal line is a moving average of the TRIX indicator, and due to this, it will lag behind the TRIX.A signal to place a buy order will occur when the TRIX crosses the signal line from below. In the same way, a signal to place a sell order will come up when the TRIX crosses the signal line from above. This is applicable in both trending and ranging markets.In trending markets, a signal line cross will indicate an end of the price retracement, and the main trend will resume. In ranging markets, a signal line confirms that resistance and support zones have been upheld in the market.
Divergences
Traders can use the Triple Exponential Average can to identify when important turning points can happen in the market. They can achieve this by looking at divergences. Divergences happen when the price is moving in the opposite direction as the TRIX indicator.When price makes higher highs but the TRIX makes lower highs, it means that the up-trend is weakening, and a bearish reversal is about to form. When the price makes lower lows, but the TRIX makes higher lows, it means that a bullish reversal is about to happen. Bullish and bearish divergences happen when the security and the indicator do not confirm themselves. A bullish divergence can happen when the security makes a lower low, but the indicator forms a higher low. This higher low means less downside momentum that may foreshadow a bullish reversal. A bearish divergence happens when the commodity makes a higher low, but the indicator forms a lower high. This lower high indicates weak upside momentum that can foreshadow a bearish reversal sometimes. Bearish divergences do not work well in strong uptrends. Even though momentum appears to be weakening due to the indicator is making lower highs, momentum still has a bullish bias as long as it is above its centerline.When bullish and bearish divergences work, they work very well. The secret is to separate the bad signals from the good signals.

MACD Trend CandlesThe script combines 2 indicators (MACD and Stoch-RSI) and puts them visually directly on the candles - can be used with normal OHLC candles or Heiken Ashi candles. Furthermore, you can derive divergences exremely easy directly visually from the candles as well. Lastly, a SMA 20 high and a SMA 20 low line build a trend channel.
Script is best used in trending markets to trade with the trend.
1) SMA trend channel:
* uptrend: close above
* downtrend: close below
* aggressive entry (uptrend) closing inside channel from below
* conservative entry (uptrend) closing above channel from inside
* hold (uptrend) until close below channel
* can be used accordingly for the downtrend
2) MACD candles
* visualization of the MACD histogram directly on the candles
* dark blue: histogram > 0 and histogram > histogram of previous candle
* light blue: histogram > 0 and histogram < histogram of previous candle
* orange: histogram < 0 and histogram < histogram of previous candle
* light blue: histogram < 0 and histogram > histogram of previous candle
* hold uptrend (dark/light blue candles) - combined with trend channel (above channel)
* hold downtrend (orange /yellow candles) - combined with trend channel (below channel)
* Color divergence: light blue candle > dark blue candle (price and MACD show divergence (bearish)
* Color divergence: yellow candle < orange candle (price and MACD show divergence (bullish)
* Trend change (0 line cross to upside) yellow or orange to dark blue
* Trend change (0 line cross to downside) dark or light blue to orange
3) Stoch RSI diamonds
* visualization of the STOCH-RSI as diamonds above or below the candle
* k, d line > 80: diamond above the candle
* k, d line < 20: diamond below the candle
* divergence caldle without diamond above > candle with diamond above (bearish divergence)
* divergence caldle without diamond below < candle with diamond below (bullish divergence)
Feel free to test each part individually and combine it with other indicators, e.g. BBands and Ichimoku Cloud - you will see it is a powerful visualization script
HAVE FUN
Volume CloudsI know it isn't much, but it is my first time coding an indicator!
You might need to modify distance to fit the volatility and time frame of the chart you are looking at (if candles stay on top of cloud in an ugly mess, increase distance until signals can be seen). Sometimes heikin ashi candles can really help clear the picture up as well.
How to use:
The lines are the Volume Weighted Moving Average (green) and Simple Moving Average (red).
Cloud is green when VWMA is above SMA ( bullish ) and red when SMA is above VWMA ( bearish ).
The thicker the cloud, the stronger the signal. Also, the farther price strays from the cloud, the more pressure there is for it to return.
Look for divergences:
When price passes below a green cloud you have a bullish divergence (or if cloud turns green at crossing point)
Price pass above red cloud = bearish divergence.
Or confirmations:
Price passes below red cloud = bearish confirmation.
Price pass above green cloud = bullish confirmation.
I hope this helps you at least a little! Twitter: GarrettZ
Cypto Oscillator with Sortino-like VolatilityEnhanced Inverted Ultimate Oscillator with Sortino-like Volatility
This indicator combines the power of the Ultimate Oscillator with a unique Sortino-like volatility calculation to provide a comprehensive view of market dynamics. It's designed to help traders identify potential turning points and assess the risk associated with price movements.
**Core Components:**
* **Ultimate Oscillator (UO):** The UO is a momentum indicator that incorporates short, medium, and long-term price action to identify overbought and oversold conditions. This indicator inverts and normalizes the UO to a 0-10 scale, providing a clear view of momentum shifts.
* **Sortino-like Volatility:** Instead of a standard deviation, this indicator uses a downside deviation calculation. This focuses specifically on *negative* price movements, offering a more relevant measure of risk for most traders. By not penalizing upside volatility, it avoids giving false signals during strong bull runs. The downside deviation is scaled as a percentage of the closing price for cross-asset comparability.
* **Volatility Signal:** The inverted UO is multiplied by the downside deviation to create a combined volatility signal. This signal reflects both momentum and downside risk, providing a more nuanced market perspective.
**Key Features and Uses:**
* **Identifying Potential Turning Points:** Divergences between the UO and price action can signal potential trend reversals. Look for the UO to make higher lows while price makes lower lows (bullish divergence) or the UO to make lower highs while price makes higher highs (bearish divergence).
* **Assessing Downside Risk:** The Sortino-like volatility component helps traders gauge the potential for downside price swings. Higher volatility suggests greater risk.
* **Dynamic Volatility Thresholds:** The indicator includes adjustable upper and lower volatility thresholds, based on a moving average of the volatility signal. These thresholds can be used to identify periods of unusually high or low volatility.
* **Customizable Lookback Periods:** Traders can adjust the lookback periods for the UO and the standard deviation calculation to fine-tune the indicator to their specific trading style and market conditions.
* **Visualizations:** The indicator provides several visual aids, including:
* A histogram of the volatility signal, colored dynamically based on its relationship to the moving average of volatility. Red indicates volatility above the upper bound, orange between the bounds and green below the lower bound.
* A line plot of the volatility signal.
* An optional moving average of the volatility signal.
* Optional upper and lower volatility threshold lines with a filled range for visual clarity.
* **Alerts:** The indicator includes alert conditions for when the volatility signal crosses above the upper threshold (high volatility) or below the lower threshold (low volatility).
**How to Use:**
1. **Inputs:** Adjust the input parameters to optimize the indicator for your chosen asset and timeframe.
2. **Divergences:** Look for divergences between the UO and price to identify potential trend reversals.
3. **Volatility:** Use the volatility signal and thresholds to assess downside risk.
4. **Alerts:** Enable alerts to be notified of high or low volatility events.
**Disclaimer:** This indicator is for informational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. Always conduct your own thorough analysis before making any trading decisions.

DMI Delta by 0xjcfOverview
This indicator integrates the Directional Movement Index (DMI), Average Directional Index (ADX), and volume analysis into an Oscillator designed to help traders identify divergence-based trading signals. Unlike typical volume or momentum indicators, this combination provides insight into directional momentum and volume intensity, allowing traders to make well-informed decisions based on multiple facets of market behavior.
Purpose and How Components Work Together
By combining DMI and ADX with volume analysis, this indicator helps traders detect when momentum diverges from price action—a common precursor to potential reversals or significant moves. The ADX filter enhances this by distinguishing trending from range-bound conditions, while volume analysis highlights moments of extreme sentiment, such as solid buying or selling. Together, these elements provide traders with a comprehensive view of market strength, directional bias, and volume surges, which help filter out weaker signals.
Key Features
DMI Delta and Oscillator: The DMI indicator measures directional movement by comparing DI+ and DI- values. This difference (DMI Delta) is calculated and displayed as a histogram, visualizing changes in directional bias. When combined with ADX filtering, this histogram helps traders gauge the strength of momentum and spot directional shifts early. For instance, a rising histogram in a bearish price trend might signal a potential bullish reversal.
Volume Analysis with Extremes: Volume is monitored to reveal when market participation is unusually high, using a customizable multiplier to highlight significant volume spikes. These extreme levels are color-coded directly on the histogram, providing visual cues on whether buying or selling interest is particularly strong. Volume analysis adds depth to the directional insights from DMI, allowing traders to differentiate between regular and powerful moves.
ADX Trending Filter: The ADX component filters trends by measuring the overall strength of a price move, with a default threshold of 25. When ADX is above this level, it suggests that the market is trending strongly, making the DMI Delta readings more reliable. Below this threshold, the market is likely range-bound, cautioning traders that signals might not have as much follow-through.
Using the Indicator in Divergence Strategies
This indicator excels in divergence strategies by highlighting moments when price action diverges from directional momentum. Here’s how it aids in decision-making:
Bullish Divergence: If the price is falling to new lows while the DMI Delta histogram rises, it can indicate weakening bearish momentum and signal a potential price reversal to the upside.
Bearish Divergence: Conversely, if prices are climbing but the DMI Delta histogram falls, it may point to waning bullish momentum, suggesting a bearish reversal.
Visual Cues and Customization
The color-coded output enhances usability:
Bright Green/Red: Extreme volume with strong bullish or bearish signals, often at points of high potential for trend continuation or reversal.
Green/Red Shades: These shades reflect trending conditions (bullish or bearish) based on ADX, factoring in volume. Green signals a bullish trend, and red is a bearish trend.
Blue/Orange Shades: Indicates non-trending or weaker conditions, suggesting a more cautious approach in range-bound markets.
Customizable for Diverse Trading Styles
This indicator allows users to adjust settings like the ADX threshold and volume multiplier to optimize performance for various timeframes and strategies. Whether a trader prefers swing trading or intraday scalping, these parameters enable fine-tuning to enhance signal reliability across different market contexts.
Practical Usage Tips
Entry and Exit Signals: Use this indicator in conjunction with price action. Divergences between the price and DMI Delta histogram can reinforce entry or exit decisions.
Adjust Thresholds: Based on backtesting, customize the ADX Trending Threshold and Volume Multiplier to ensure optimal performance on different timeframes or trading styles.
In summary, this indicator is tailored for traders seeking a multi-dimensional approach to market analysis. It blends momentum, trend strength, and volume insights to support divergence-based strategies, helping traders confidently make informed decisions. Remember to validate signals through backtesting and use it alongside price action for the best results.
Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) of Money Flow Index (MFI)"He who does not know how to make predictions and makes light of his opponents, underestimating his ability, will certainly be defeated by them."
(Sun Tzu - The Art of War)
▮ Introduction
The Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) is a technical analysis indicator that uses the difference between the current closing price and the high or low price over a specific time period to measure price momentum.
On the other hand, the Money Flow Index (MFI) is an indicator that uses volume and price to measure buying and selling pressure.
When these two indicators are combined, they can provide a more comprehensive view of price direction and market strength.
▮ Improvements
By combining SMI with MFI, we can gain even more insights into the market. One way to do this is to use the MFI as an input to the SMI, rather than just using price.
This means we are measuring momentum based on buying and selling pressure rather than just price.
Another way to improve this indicator is to adjust the periods to suit your specific trading needs.
▮ What to look
When using the SMI MFI indicator, there are a few things to look out for.
First, look at the SMI signal line.
When the line crosses above -40, it is considered a buy signal, while the crossing below +40 is considered a sell signal.
Also, pay attention to divergences between the SMI MFI and the price.
If price is rising but the SMI MFI is showing negative divergence, it could indicate that momentum is waning and a reversal could be in the offing.
Likewise, if price is falling but the SMI MFI is showing positive divergence, this could indicate that momentum is building and a reversal could also be in the offing.
In the examples below, I show the use in conjunction with the price SMI, in which the MFI SMI helps to anticipate divergences:
In summary, the SMI MFI is a useful indicator that can provide valuable insights into market direction and price strength.
By adjusting the timeframes and paying attention to divergences and signal line crossovers, traders can use it as part of a broader trading strategy.
However, remember that no indicator is a magic bullet and should always be used in conjunction with other analytics and indicators to make informed trading decisions.
