Moving Average Range Channels [DW]This study is an experiment based off the concept used in my Dynamic Range Channel indicator.
Rather than using a McGinley Dynamic, a moving average of your choice is used in this calculation.
There are eight different moving average types to choose from in this script:
- Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average
- Geometric Moving Average
- Hull Moving Average
- Volume Weighted Moving Average
- Least Squares Moving Average
- Arnaud Legoux Moving Average
- Exponential Moving Average
- Simple Moving Average
For a more refined picture of volatility, I've added upper and lower extension channels. They are calculated by adding the upper half range to the channel high, and subtracting the lower half range from the channel low.
The new custom bar color scheme indicates trends, midline crosses, MA crosses, and overbought and oversold conditions.
Symmetrical Standard Deviation ChannelsChannels help with identifying buying and selling opportunities and avoid bad trades. This channel consists of two lines parallel to a moving average. The distance between the lines vary depending on the market's volatility (standard deviation channels). Channels mark the boundaries between normal and abnormal price action. The market is undervalued below its lower channel line and overvalued above its upper channel line.

Indicator: STARC BandsSTARC (Stoller Average Range Channels) bands make use of ATR to form the bands, giving it a more in-depth snapshot of market volatility compared to Bollinger Bands.
When a price curve penetrates a Bollinger Band, it may indicate the continuation of a price move; in contrast, the STARC bands tend to define upper and lower limits for normal price action.
Tension Squeeze Clock v1.0🔥 Tension Squeeze Clock v1.0
Forecast explosive market moves before they happen.
The Tension Squeeze Clock is a cyclical compression detector that identifies when the market is storing energy across multiple dimensions — and signals when that energy is about to uncoil.
This indicator combines three critical components:
🔹 RSI Contraction – Detects when momentum is balanced and compressed
🔹 Volatility Squeeze – Measures low standard deviation in price movement
🔹 Range Tension – Flags tight candle ranges relative to average volatility
When all three compressions align, the indicator prints a clear “Squeeze Ready” signal. When the pressure breaks, it signals “Squeeze Uncoiling” — a prime moment to watch for volatility surges or directional breakouts.
📈 Recommended Usage
🔍 This tool works especially well on the Daily timeframe, where coiled conditions often lead to significant price expansions.
Use it to:
Anticipate breakout setups
Confirm coiled consolidation zones
Add timing precision to your volume or divergence-based strategies
📊 Display Options
Panel view with bar colors to reflect compression strength
On-chart labels for squeeze signals
Optional alerts when a squeeze begins or breaks
Whether you're swing trading, trend riding, or timing reversals, the Tension Squeeze Clock helps you see what most indicators miss: the calm before the storm.
Directional ATROANDA:EURUSD
TLDR: A custom volatility indicator that combines Average True Range with candle direction.
The Directional ATR (DATR) is an indicator that enhances the traditional Average True Range (ATR) by incorporating the direction of the candle (bullish or bearish).
This indicator is designed to help traders identify trend strength, potential trend reversals, and market volatility.
Key Features:
Trend Confirmation: Positive and increasing DATR values suggest a bullish trend, while negative and decreasing values indicate a bearish trend. A higher absolute DATR value signifies a stronger trend.
Trend Reversal: A change in the direction of the DATR from positive to negative or vice versa may signal a potential trend reversal.
Volatility: Like the standard ATR, the DATR can be used to gauge market volatility, with larger absolute values indicating higher volatility and smaller values suggesting lower volatility.
Divergence: Divergence between the price and the DATR could signal a potential weakening of the trend and an upcoming reversal.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Extreme DATR values can be used to identify overbought or oversold market conditions, signaling potential reversals or corrections.
Please note that the Directional ATR is just an indicator, and the interpretations provided are based on its underlying logic.
It is essential to combine the DATR with other technical analysis tools and test the indicator on historical data before using it in your trading strategy. Additionally, consider other factors such as risk management, and your own trading style.
TrendSphere (Zeiierman)█ Overview
TrendSphere is designed to capture and visualize market trends and volatility effectively. It combines various volatility measures and trend analysis techniques, producing dynamic bands and a central trend line on the price chart. Its essence is to offer a real-time, reliable estimate of the underlying linear trend in the price.
█ How It Works
Real-Time Trend Estimation
At its core, TrendSphere is designed to offer instantaneous and accurate insights into the inherent linear trend of asset prices. By continually updating its estimations, it ensures traders are equipped with the most current data. This allows the construction of support and resistance bands around the estimated trend, providing trading opportunities.
Dynamic Bands and Trend Line
TrendSphere plots a central trend line and dynamic bands around it on the price chart. Influenced by volatility, the distance between these elements offers a clear view of market conditions and the strength or weakness of trends. These bands not only depict potential turning points but also offer traders valuable opportunities to trade within the confines of the overarching trend.
Volatility Measures
Traders can select their preferred volatility measure and adjust settings to best fit their analysis needs. The bands and trend line dynamically respond to these selections, offering a tailored view of market conditions.
ATR (Average True Range): Reflects market volatility by evaluating the range between high and low prices.
Historical Volatility: Computes price variability using the standard deviation of log returns.
Bollinger Band Width: Measures the distance between Bollinger Bands, providing another angle on market volatility.
Eliminating Common Complications
One of the standout features of TrendSphere is its ability to determine linear price trends without falling prey to challenges like backpainting or repainting. In layman's terms, this means traders get a more trustworthy and unaltered view of price movements, leading to enhanced decision-making in line with the genuine trajectory of price trends.
█ How to Use
Trend Analysis
Observe the central trend line; its direction indicates the prevailing trend. When the price is above the trend line, it suggests an upward trend, and when it's below, it indicates a downward trend.
Volatility Analysis
Wider bands imply higher market volatility, suggesting larger price swings, while narrower bands indicate lower volatility. Traders can use the bands to identify potential reversal points and overbought/oversold conditions.
Potential Trading Signals (Using Bollinger bandwidth as volatility measure)
Consider buying when the price is above the trend line with narrowing bands, suggesting a strong upward trend.
Consider selling when the price is below the trend line with narrowing bands, indicating a strong downward trend.
█ Settings

Curved Price Channels (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Curved Price Channels (Zeiierman) is designed to plot dynamic channels around price movements, much like the traditional Donchian Channels, but with a key difference: the channels are curved instead of straight. This curvature allows the channels to adapt more fluidly to price action, providing a smoother representation of the highest high and lowest low levels.
Just like Donchian Channels, the Curved Price Channels help identify potential breakout points and areas of trend reversal. However, the curvature offers a more refined approach to visualizing price boundaries, making it potentially more effective in capturing price trends and reversals in markets that exhibit significant volatility or price swings.
The included trend strength calculation further enhances the indicator by offering insight into the strength of the current trend.
█ How It Works
The Curved Price Channels are calculated based on the asset's average true range (ATR), scaled by the chosen length and multiplier settings. This adaptive size allows the channels to expand and contract based on recent market volatility. The central trendline is calculated as the average of the upper and lower curved bands, providing a smoothed representation of the overall price trend.
Key Calculations:
Adaptive Size: The ATR is used to dynamically adjust the width of the channels, making them responsive to changes in market volatility.
Upper and Lower Bands: The upper band is calculated by taking the maximum close value and adjusting it downward by a factor proportional to the ATR and the multiplier. Similarly, the lower band is calculated by adjusting the minimum close value upward.
Trendline: The trendline is the average of the upper and lower bands, representing the central tendency of the price action.
Trend Strength
The Trend Strength feature in the Curved Price Channels is a powerful feature designed to help traders gauge the strength of the current trend. It calculates the strength of a trend by analyzing the relationship between the price's position within the curved channels and the overall range of the channels themselves.
Range Calculation:
The indicator first determines the distance between the upper and lower curved channels, known as the range. This range represents the overall volatility of the price within the given period.
Range = Upper Band - Lower Band
Relative Position:
The next step involves calculating the relative position of the closing price within this range. This value indicates where the current price sits in relation to the overall range.
RelativePosition = (Close - Trendline) / Range
Normalization:
To assess the trend strength over time, the current range is normalized against the maximum and minimum ranges observed over a specified look-back period.
NormalizedRange = (Range - Min Range) / (Max Range - Min Range)
Trend Strength Calculation:
The final Trend Strength is calculated by multiplying the relative position by the normalized range and then scaling it to a percentage.
TrendStrength = Relative Position * Normalized Range * 100
This approach ensures that the Trend Strength not only reflects the direction of the trend but also its intensity, providing a more comprehensive view of market conditions.
█ Comparison with Donchian Channels
Curved Price Channels offer several advantages over Donchian Channels, particularly in their ability to adapt to changing market conditions.
⚪ Adaptability vs. Fixed Structure
Donchian Channels: Use a fixed period to plot straight lines based on the highest high and lowest low. This can be limiting because the channels do not adjust to volatility; they remain the same width regardless of how much or how little the price is moving.
Curved Price Channels: Adapt dynamically to market conditions using the Average True Range (ATR) as a measure of volatility. The channels expand and contract based on recent price movements, providing a more accurate reflection of the market's current state. This adaptability allows traders to capture both large trends and smaller fluctuations more effectively.
⚪ Sensitivity to Market Movements
Donchian Channels: Are less sensitive to recent price action because they rely on a fixed look-back period. This can result in late signals during fast-moving markets, as the channels may not adjust quickly enough to capture new trends.
Curved Price Channels: Respond more quickly to changes in market volatility, making them more sensitive to recent price action. The multiplier setting further allows traders to adjust the channel's sensitivity, making it possible to capture smaller price movements during periods of low volatility or filter out noise during high volatility.
⚪ Enhanced Trend Strength Analysis
Donchian Channels: Do not provide direct insight into the strength of a trend. Traders must rely on additional indicators or their judgment to gauge whether a trend is strong or weak.
Curved Price Channels: Includes a built-in trend strength calculation that takes into account the distance between the upper and lower channels relative to the trendline. A broader range between the channels typically indicates a stronger trend, while a narrower range suggests a weaker trend. This feature helps traders not only identify the direction of the trend but also assess its potential longevity and strength.
⚪ Dynamic Support and Resistance
Donchian Channels: Offer static support and resistance levels that may not accurately reflect changing market dynamics. These levels can quickly become outdated in volatile markets.
Curved Price Channels: Offer dynamic support and resistance levels that adjust in real-time, providing more relevant and actionable trading signals. As the channels curve to reflect price movements, they can help identify areas where the price is likely to encounter support or resistance, making them more useful in volatile or trending markets.
█ How to Use
Traders can use the Curved Price Channels in similar ways to Donchian Channels but with the added benefits of the adaptive, curved structure:
Breakout Identification:
Just like Donchian Channels, when the price breaks above the upper curved band, it may signal the start of a bullish trend, while a break below the lower curved band could indicate a bearish trend. The curved nature of the channels helps in capturing these breakouts more precisely by adjusting to recent volatility.
Volatility:
The width of the price channels in the Curved Price Channels indicator serves as a clear indicator of current market volatility. A wider channel indicates that the market is experiencing higher volatility, as prices are fluctuating more dramatically within the period. Conversely, a narrower channel suggests that the market is in a lower volatility state, with price movements being more subdued.
Typically, higher volatility is observed during negative trends, where market uncertainty or fear drives larger price swings. In contrast, lower volatility is often associated with positive trends, where prices tend to move more steadily and predictably. The adaptive nature of the Curved Price Channels reflects these volatility conditions in real time, allowing traders to assess the market environment quickly and adjust their strategies accordingly.
Support and Resistance:
The trend line act as dynamic support and resistance levels. Due to it's adaptive nature, this level is more reflective of the current market environment than the fixed level of Donchian Channels.
Trend Direction and Strength:
The trend direction and strength are highlighted by the trendline and the directional candle within the Curved Price Channels indicator. If the price is above the trendline, it indicates a positive trend, while a price below the trendline signals a negative trend. This directional bias is visually represented by the color of the directional candle, making it easy for traders to quickly identify the current market trend.
In addition to the trendline, the indicator also displays Max and Min values. These represent the highest and lowest trend strength values within the lookback period, providing a reference point for understanding the current trend strength relative to historical levels.
Max Value: Indicates the highest recorded trend strength during the lookback period. If the Max value is greater than the Min value, it suggests that the market has generally experienced more positive (bullish) conditions during this time frame.
Min Value: Represents the lowest recorded trend strength within the same period. If the Min value is greater than the Max value, it indicates that the market has been predominantly negative (bearish) over the lookback period.
By assessing these Max and Min values, traders gain an immediate understanding of the underlying trend. If the current trend strength is close to the Max value, it indicates a strong bullish trend. Conversely, if the trend strength is near the Min value, it suggests a strong bearish trend.
█ Settings
Trend Length: Defines the number of bars used to calculate the core trendline and adaptive size. A length of 200 will create a smooth, long-term trendline that reacts slowly to price changes, while a length of 20 will create a more responsive trendline that tracks short-term movements.
Multiplier: Adjusts the width of the curved price channels. A higher value tightens the channels, making them more sensitive to price movements, while a lower value widens the channels. A multiplier of 10 will create tighter channels that are more sensitive to minor price fluctuations, which is useful in low-volatility markets. A multiplier of 2 will create wider channels that capture larger trends and are better suited for high-volatility markets.
Trend Strength Length: Defines the period over which the maximum and minimum ranges are calculated to normalize the trend strength. A length of 200 will smooth out the trend strength readings, providing a stable indication of trend health, whereas a length of 50 will make the readings more reactive to recent price changes.

Squeeze & Release [AlgoAlpha]Introduction:
💡The Squeeze & Release by AlgoAlpha is an innovative tool designed to capture price volatility dynamics using a combination of EMA-based calculations and ATR principles. This script aims to provide traders with clear visual cues to spot potential market squeezes and release scenarios. Hence it is important to note that this indicator shows information on volatility, not direction.
Core Logic and Components:
🔶EMA Calculations: The script utilizes the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) in multiple ways to smooth out the data and provide indicator direction. There are specific lengths for the EMAs that users can modify as per their preference.
🔶ATR Dynamics: Average True Range (ATR) is a core component of the script. The differential between the smoothed ATR and its EMA is used to plot the main line. This differential, when represented as a percentage of the high-low range, provides insights into volatility.
🔶Squeeze and Release Detection: The script identifies and highlights squeeze and release scenarios based on the crossover and cross-under events between our main line and its smoothed version. Squeezes are potential setups where the market may be consolidating, and releases indicate a potential breakout or breakdown.
🔶Hyper Squeeze Detection: A unique feature that detects instances when the main line is rising consistently over a user-defined period. Hyper squeeze marks areas of extremely low volatility.
Visual Components:
The main line (ATR-based) changes color depending on its position relative to its EMA.
A middle line plotted at zero level which provides a quick visual cue about the main line's position. If the main line is above the zero level, it indicates that the price is squeezing on a longer time horizon, even if the indicator indicates a shorter-term release.
"𝓢" and "𝓡" characters are plotted to represent 'Squeeze' and 'Release' scenarios respectively.
Standard Deviation Bands are plotted to help users gauge the extremity and significance of the signal from the indicator, if the indicator is closer to either the upper or lower deviation bands, this means that statistically, the current value is considered to be more extreme and as it is further away from the mean where the indicator is oscillating at for the majority of the time. Thus indicating that the price has experienced an unusual amount or squeeze or release depending on the value of the indicator.
Usage Guidelines:
☝️Traders can use the script to:
Identify potential consolidation (squeeze) zones.
Gauge potential breakout or breakdown scenarios (release).
Fine-tune their entries and exits based on volatility.
Adjust the various lengths provided in the input for better customization based on individual trading styles and the asset being traded.
Williams Vix Fix [CC]The Vix Fix indicator was created by Larry Williams and is one of my giant backlog of unpublished scripts which I'm going to start publishing more of. This indicator is a great synthetic version of the classic Volatility Index and can be useful in combination with other indicators to determine when to enter or exit a trade due to the current volatility. The indicator creates this synthetic version of the Volatility Index by a fairly simple formula that subtracts the current low from the highest close over the last 22 days and then divides that result by the same highest close and multiplies by 100 to turn it into a percentage. The 22-day length is used by default since there is a max of 22 trading days in a month but this formula works well for any other timeframe. By itself, this indicator doesn't generate buy or sell signals but generally speaking, you will want to enter or exit a trade when the Vix fix indicator amount spikes and you get an entry or exit signal from another indicator of your choice. Keep in mind that the colors I'm using for this indicator are only a general idea of when volatility is high enough to enter or exit a trade so green colors mean higher volatility and red colors mean low volatility. This is one of the few indicators I have written that don't recommend to buy or sell when the colors change.
This was a custom request from one of my followers so please let me know if you guys have any other script requests you want to see!
+ Bollinger Bands WidthHere is my rendition of Bollinger Bands Width. If you are unfamiliar, Bollinger Bands Width is a measure of the distance between the top and bottom bands of Bollinger Bands. Bollinger Bands themselves being a measure of market volatility, BB Width is a simpler, cleaner way of determining the amount of volatility in the market. Myself, I found the original, basic version of BB Width a bit too basic, and I thought that by adding to it it might make for an improvement for traders over the original.
Simple things that I've done are adding a signal line; adding a 'baseline' using Donchian Channels (such as that which is in my Average Candle Bodies Range indicator); adding bar and background coloring; and adding alerts for increasing volatility, and baseline and signal line crosses. It really ends up making for a much improved version of the basic indicator.
A note on how I created the baseline:
First, what do I mean by 'baseline?' I think of it as an area of the indicator where if the BB Width is below you will not want to enter into any trades, and if the BB Width is above then you are free to enter trades based on your system. It's basically a volatility measure of the volatility indicator. Waddah Attar Explosion is a popular indicator that implements something similar. The baseline is calculated thus: make a Donchian Channel of the BB Width, and then use the basis as the baseline while not plotting the actual highs and lows of the Donchian Channel. Now, the basis of a Donchian Channel is the average of the highs and the lows. If we did that here we would have a baseline much too high, however, by making the basis adjustable with a divisor input it no longer must be plotted in the center of the channel, but may be moved much lower (unless you set the divisor to 2, but you wouldn't do that). This divisor is essentially a sensitivity adjustment for the indicator. Of course you don't have to use the baseline. You could ignore it and only use the signal line, or just use the rising and falling of the BB Width by itself as your volatility measure.
I should make note: the main image above at default settings is an 8 period lookback (so, yes, that is quite fast), and the signal line is a Hull MA set to 13. The background and bar coloring are simply set to the rising and falling of the BB Width. Images below will show some different settings, but definitely play with it yourself to determine if it might be a good fit for your system.
Above, settings are background and bar coloring tuned to BB Width being above the baseline, and also requiring that the BB Width be rising. Background coloring only highlights increasing volatility or volatility above a certain threshold. Grey candles are because the BB Width is above the baseline but falling. We'll see an example without the requirement of BB Width rising, below.
Here, we see that background highlights and aqua candles are more prevalent because I've checked off the requirement that BB Width be rising. The idea is that BB Width is above the baseline therefor there is sufficient volatility to enter trades if our indicators give us the go-ahead.
This here is set to BB Width being above the signal line and also requiring a rising BB Width. Keep in mind the signal line is a Hull MA.
And this fourth and final image uses a volume-weighted MA as the signal line. Bar coloring is turned off, and instead the checkboxes for volatility advancing and declining are turned on under the signal line options. BB Width crosses up the signal line is advancing volatility, while falling below it is declining volatility. Background highlights are set to baseline and not requiring a rising BB Width. This way, with a quick glance you can see if the rising volatility is legitimate, i.e., is the cross up of the signal line coupled with it being above the baseline.
Please enjoy.
+ Average Candle Bodies RangeACBR, or, Average Candle Bodies Range is a volatility and momentum indicator designed to indicate periods of increasing volatility and/or momentum. The genesis of the idea formed from my pondering what a trend trader is really looking for in terms of a volatility indicator. Most indicators I've come across haven't, in my opinion, done a satisfactory job of highlighting this. I kept thinking about the ATR (I use it for stops and targets) but I realized I didn't care about highs or lows in regards to a candle's volatility or momentum, nor do I care about their relation to a previous close. What really matters to me is candle body expansion. That is all. So, I created this.
ACBR is extremely simple at its heart. I made it more complicated of course, because why would I want anything for myself to be simple? Originally it was envisaged to be a simple volatility indicator highlighting areas of increasing and decreasing volatility. Then I decided some folks might want an indicator that could show this in a directional manner, i.e., an oscillator, so I spent some more hours tackling that
To start, the original version of the indicator simply subtracts opening price from closing price if the candle closes above the open, and subtracts the close from the open if the candle closes below the open. This way we get a positive number that simply measures candle expansion. We then apply a moving average to these values in order to smooth them (if you want). To get an oscillator we always subtract the close from the open, thus when a candle closes below its open we get a negative number.
I've naturally added an optional signal line as a helpful way of gauging volatility because obviously the values themselves may not tell you much. But I've also added something that I call a baseline. You can use this in a few ways, but first let me explain the two options for how the baseline can be calculated. And what do I mean by 'baseline?' I think of it as an area of the indicator where if the ACBR is below you will not want to enter into any trades, and if the ACBR is above then you are free to enter trades based on your system (or you might want to enter in areas of low volatility if your system calls for that). Waddah Attar Explosion is another indicator that implements something similar. The baseline is calculated in two different ways: one of which is making a Donchian Channel of the ACBR, and then using the basis as the baseline, while the other is applying an RMA to the cb_dif, which is the base unit that makes up the ACBR. Now, the basis of a Donchian Channel typically is the average of the highs and the lows. If we did that here we would have a baseline much too high (but maybe not...), however, I've made the divisor user adjustable. In this way you can adjust the height (or I guess you might say 'width' if it's an oscillator) however you like, thus making the indicator more or less sensitive. In the case of using the ACBR as the baseline we apply a multiplier to the values in order to adjust the height. Apologies if I'm being overly verbose. If you want to skip all of this I have tooltips in the settings for all of the inputs that I think need an explanation.
When using the indicator as an oscillator there are baselines above and below the zero line. One funny thing: if using the ACBR as calculation type for the baselines in oscillator mode, the baselines themselves will oscillate around the zero line. There is no way to fix this due to the calculation. That isn't necessarily bad (based on my eyeball test), but I probably wouldn't use it in such a way. But experiment! They could actually be a very fine entry or confirmation indicator. And while I'm on the topic of confirmation indicators, using this indicator as an oscillator naturally makes it a confirmation indicator. It just happens to have a volatility measurement baked into it. It may also be used as an exit and continuation indicator. And speaking of these things, there are optional shapes for indicating when you might want to exit or take a continuation trade. I've added alerts for these things too.
Lastly, oscillator mode is good for identifying divergences.
Above we have the indicator set to directional, or oscillator, mode. Baselines are Donchian Channels. I changed the default EMA length from 4 to 24 in this case, otherwise all the settings are default, as in the main image for the indicator (which is clearly set to non-directional). The indicator is set to requiring an advancing signal line for background and bar colors. Background color is not on by default. Candle colors, as you can see are aqua when above the top baseline (and only when the signal line is advancing, as per the settings), magenta when below the bottom baseline, and grey for anything else. The red and blue X's are exit signals. There are two types: one, when the signal line weakens and, two, when the ACBR crosses above or below the signal line. There are also arrows. These are continuation signals (ACBR crossing signal line).
Same image as above, but the baselines are set to ACBR rather than Donchian Channels.
Again, the same image, but with everything but the ACBR Baseline turned off. You can see how this might make for an excellent confirmation indicator, but for the areas of chap. Maybe run a second instance of the indicator on your chart as a volatility indicator, as you would not be using it in that way in this instance.
Here I have bar coloring turned off except for signal line crosses NOT requiring the signal line to be advancing. Background coloring is also turned on. You can see that these all line up with continuation signals, or exits for purple candles.
Same image as above but requiring the signal line to be advancing. You can see that continuation signals are not contingent upon the signal line to be advancing. I had it setup that way at first, but of course it still gave false signals, so I thought more signals (not that there are many) is better than fewer. To be sure, just because the indicator shows a continuation signal does not mean you should always take it.
Position resetThe "Position Reset" indicator
The Position Reset indicator is a sophisticated technical analysis tool designed to identify possible entry points into short positions based on an analysis of market volatility and the behavior of various groups of bidders. The main purpose of this indicator is to provide traders with information about the current state of the market and help them decide whether to open short positions depending on the level of volatility and the mood of the main players.
The main components of the indicator:

The indicator uses two sets of parameters to calculate the RSI: one for bankers ("Banker"), the other for hot money ("Hot Money").
RSI for Bankers:
RSIBaseBanker: The baseline for calculating bankers' RSI. The default value is 50.
RSIPeriodBanker: The period for calculating the RSI for bankers. The default period is 14.
RSI for hot money:
RSIBaseHotMoney: The baseline for calculating the RSI of hot money. The default value is 30.
RSIPeriodHotMoney: The period for calculating the RSI for hot money. The default period is 21.
These parameters allow you to adjust the sensitivity of the indicator to the actions of different groups of market participants.
2. Sensitivity:
Sensitivity determines how strongly changes in the RSI will affect the final result of calculations. It is configured separately for bankers and hot money:
SensitivityBanker: Sensitivity for bankers' RSI. It is set to 2.0 by default.
SensitivityHotMoney: Sensitivity for hot money RSI. It is set to 1.0 by default.
Changing these parameters allows you to adapt the indicator to different market conditions and trader preferences.
3. Volatility Analysis:
Volatility is measured based on the length of the period, which is set by the volLength parameter. The default length is 30 candles. The indicator calculates the difference between the highest and lowest value for the specified period and divides this difference by the lowest value, thus obtaining the volatility coefficient.
Based on this coefficient, four levels of volatility are distinguished.:
Extreme volatility: The coefficient is greater than or equal to 0.25.
High volatility: The coefficient ranges from 0.125 to 0.2499.
Normal volatility: The coefficient ranges from 0.05 to 0.1249.
Low volatility: The coefficient is less than 0.0499.
Each level of volatility has its own significance for making decisions about entering a position.
4. Calculation functions:
The indicator uses several functions to process the RSI and volatility data.:
rsi_function: This function applies to every type of RSI (bankers and hot money). It adjusts the RSI value according to the set sensitivity and baseline, limiting the range of values from 0 to 20.
Moving Averages: Simple moving averages (SMA), exponential moving averages (EMA), and weighted moving averages (RMA) are used to smooth fluctuations. They are applied to different time intervals to obtain the average values of the RSI.
Thus, the indicator creates a comprehensive picture of market behavior, taking into account both short-term and long-term dynamics.
5. Bearish signals:
Bearish signals are considered situations when the RSI crosses certain levels simultaneously with a drop in indicators for both types of market participants (bankers and hot money).:
The bankers' RSI crossing is below the level of 8.5.
The current hot money RSI is less than 18.
The moving averages for banks and hot money are below their signal lines.
The RSI values for bankers are less than 5.
These conditions indicate a possible beginning of a downtrend.
6. Signal generation:
Depending on the current level of volatility and the presence of bearish signals, the indicator generates three types of signals:
Orange circle: Extremely high volatility and the presence of a bearish signal.
Yellow circle: High volatility and the presence of a bearish signal.
Green circle: Low volatility and the presence of a bearish signal.
These visual markers help the trader to quickly understand what level of risk accompanies each specific signal.
7. Notifications:
The indicator supports the function of sending notifications when one of the three types of signals occurs. The notification contains a brief description of the conditions under which the signal was generated, which allows the trader to respond promptly to a change in the market situation.
Advantages of using the "Position Reset" indicator:
Multi-level analysis: The indicator combines technical analysis (RSI) and volatility assessment, providing a comprehensive view of the current market situation.
Flexibility of settings: The ability to adjust the sensitivity parameters and the RSI baselines allows you to adapt the indicator to any market conditions and personal preferences of the trader.
Clear visualization: The use of colored labels on the chart simplifies the perception of information and helps to quickly identify key points for entering a trade.
Notification support: The notification sending feature makes it much easier to monitor the market, allowing you to respond to important events in time.
Regime Classifier Oscillator (AiBitcoinTrend)The Regime Classifier Oscillator (AiBitcoinTrend) is an advanced tool for understanding market structure and detecting dynamic price regimes. By combining filtered price trends, clustering algorithms, and an adaptive oscillator, it provides traders with detailed insights into market phases, including accumulation, distribution, advancement, and decline.
This innovative tool simplifies market regime classification, enabling traders to align their strategies with evolving market conditions effectively.
👽 What is a Regime Classifier, and Why is it Useful?
A Regime Classifier is a concept in financial analysis that identifies distinct market conditions or "regimes" based on price behavior and volatility. These regimes often correspond to specific phases of the market, such as trends, consolidations, or periods of high or low volatility. By classifying these regimes, traders and analysts can better understand the underlying market dynamics, allowing them to adapt their strategies to suit prevailing conditions.
👽 Common Uses in Finance
Risk Management: Identifying high-volatility regimes helps traders adjust position sizes or hedge risks.
Strategy Optimization: Traders tailor their approaches—trend-following strategies in trending regimes, mean-reversion strategies in consolidations.
Forecasting: Understanding the current regime aids in predicting potential transitions, such as a shift from accumulation to an upward breakout.
Portfolio Allocation: Investors allocate assets differently based on market regimes, such as increasing cash positions in high-volatility environments.
👽 Why It’s Important
Markets behave differently under varying conditions. A regime classifier provides a structured way to analyze these changes, offering a systematic approach to decision-making. This improves both accuracy and confidence in navigating diverse market scenarios.
👽 How We Implemented the Regime Classifier in This Indicator
The Regime Classifier Oscillator takes the foundational concept of market regime classification and enhances it with advanced computational techniques, making it highly adaptive.
👾 Median Filtering: We smooth price data using a custom median filter to identify significant trends while eliminating noise. This establishes a baseline for price movement analysis.
👾 Clustering Model: Using clustering techniques, the indicator classifies volatility and price trends into distinct regimes:
Advance: Strong upward trends with low volatility.
Decline: Downward trends marked by high volatility.
Accumulation: Consolidation phases with subdued volatility.
Distribution: Topping or bottoming patterns with elevated volatility.
This classification leverages historical price data to refine cluster boundaries dynamically, ensuring adaptive and accurate detection of market states.
Volatility Classification: Price volatility is analyzed through rolling windows, separating data into high and low volatility clusters using distance-based assignments.
Price Trends: The interaction of price levels with the filtered trendline and volatility clusters determines whether the market is advancing, declining, accumulating, or distributing.
👽 Dynamic Cycle Oscillator (DCO):
Captures cyclic behavior and overlays it with smoothed oscillations, providing real-time feedback on price momentum and potential reversals.
Regime Visualization:
Regimes are displayed with intuitive labels and background colors, offering clear, actionable insights directly on the chart.
👽 Why This Implementation Stands Out
Dynamic and Adaptive: The clustering and refit mechanisms adapt to changing market conditions, ensuring relevance across different asset classes and timeframes.
Comprehensive Insights: By combining price trends, volatility, and cyclic behaviors, the indicator provides a holistic view of the market.
This implementation bridges the gap between theoretical regime classification and practical trading needs, making it a powerful tool for both novice and experienced traders.
👽 Applications

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.
