Prometheus OscillatorThis oscillator is a tool meant to determine an up or down trend using a measure of volatility and what skews the market has.
Calculation
The first thing to do is normalize the price to have a 0 handle and be a decimal. The reason to do this is to get the 0 line for every asset.
After the source value has been normalized calculate standard deviation and skew.
Standard Deviation
To calculate standard deviation Prometheus uses Pinescript's built-in function.
standard_dev = ta.stdev(src, len, true)
Standard deviation is a decent and quick estimation of historical volatility over a period of time specified by the user.
Skew
Skew is calculated as follows:
mean = ta.sma(src, len)
m3 = math.sum(math.pow(src - mean, 3), len) / len
m2 = math.pow(math.sum(math.pow(src - mean, 2), len) / len, 1.5)
skew = m3 / m2
Skew is a value used to determine how far on one side of a distribution a value is. When the market is aggressively moving higher the skew will be a bigger positive number. When it is moving lower, a negative number. When the values are small, still either positive or negative, is when the market is moving calmly in either direction.
Adding these two values together provides us with our oscillator.
Trade Examples
A simple way to use this tool is to use 0-line crosses as bullish or bearish alerts
Step 1: Cross above 0 line, long alert. The price proceeds to move up.
Step 2: Cross below 0 line, short alert. The Price moves down.
Step 3: Cross above 0 line, long alert. The price chops then the price proceeds to move up.
0 line crosses can work but may not always be reliable.
Step 1: Cross above 0 line, long alert. The price proceeds to move up.
Step 2: Cross below 0 line, short alert. The Price bounces as the downtrend is signaled, but then continues to sell off.
Step 3: Cross above 0 line, long alert. The price chops at the high and then reverses.
Step 4: Cross below 0 line, short alert. proceeds to move down.
Step 5: Cross above 0 line, long alert. The price proceeds to move up.
Not every alert will be perfect, we encourage traders to use tools as well as their own discretion.
Previous highs and lows may be a good tell if the alert will be true.
Step 1: Cross above 0 line, long alert. The price proceeds to move up.
Step 2: Cross below 0 line, short alert. The Price bounces as the downtrend is signaled, false alert.
Step 3: Cross above 0 line, long alert. The price chops at the high and then moves up.
Step 4: Cross below 0 line, short alert. The price chops a lot with a false break to the upside, the oscillator itself does not move fast or high which could have been a sign it was false.
Step 5: Step 3's downtrend continues.
Step 6: Cross above the 0 line. A new up trend emerges.
The indicator has more than one use. Detecting false moves in a greater trend is advantageous to not get faked out.
Step 1: Price moves up, however, the oscillator does not break 0, and the trend remains bearish before a true break of 0 line and moves up.
Step 2: While the oscillator is below the 0 line the price moves up. The oscillator does not change its sign and the downtrend continues until a true break of 0 line and moves up.
Inputs:
Len: Lookback length for how many bars back to go to calculate the oscillator.
No indicator is 100% accurate, use them along with your own discretion.

Chande Kroll Trend Strategy (SPX, 1H) | PINEINDICATORSThe "Chande Kroll Stop Strategy" is designed to optimize trading on the SPX using a 1-hour timeframe. This strategy effectively combines the Chande Kroll Stop indicator with a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to create a robust method for identifying long entry and exit points. This detailed description will explain the components, rationale, and usage to ensure compliance with TradingView's guidelines and help traders understand the strategy's utility and application.
Objective
The primary goal of this strategy is to identify potential long trading opportunities in the SPX by leveraging volatility-adjusted stop levels and trend-following principles. It aims to capture upward price movements while managing risk through dynamically calculated stops.
Chande Kroll Stop Parameters:
Calculation Mode: Offers "Linear" and "Exponential" options for position size calculation. The default mode is "Exponential."
Risk Multiplier: An adjustable multiplier for risk management and position sizing, defaulting to 5.
ATR Period: Defines the period for calculating the Average True Range (ATR), with a default of 10.
ATR Multiplier: A multiplier applied to the ATR to set stop levels, defaulting to 3.
Stop Length: Period used to determine the highest high and lowest low for stop calculation, defaulting to 21.
SMA Length: Period for the Simple Moving Average, defaulting to 21.
Calculation Details:
ATR Calculation: ATR is calculated over the specified period to measure market volatility.
Chande Kroll Stop Calculation:
High Stop: The highest high over the stop length minus the ATR multiplied by the ATR multiplier.
Low Stop: The lowest low over the stop length plus the ATR multiplied by the ATR multiplier.
SMA Calculation: The 21-period SMA of the closing price is used as a trend filter.
Entry and Exit Conditions:
Long Entry: A long position is initiated when the closing price crosses over the low stop and is above the 21-period SMA. This condition ensures that the market is trending upward and that the entry is made in the direction of the prevailing trend.
Exit Long: The long position is exited when the closing price falls below the high stop, indicating potential downward movement and protecting against significant drawdowns.
Position Sizing:
The quantity of shares to trade is calculated based on the selected calculation mode (linear or exponential) and the risk multiplier. This ensures position size is adjusted dynamically based on current market conditions and user-defined risk tolerance.
Exponential Mode: Quantity is calculated using the formula: riskMultiplier / lowestClose * 1000 * strategy.equity / strategy.initial_capital.
Linear Mode: Quantity is calculated using the formula: riskMultiplier / lowestClose * 1000.
Execution:
When the long entry condition is met, the strategy triggers a buy signal, and a long position is entered with the calculated quantity. An alert is generated to notify the trader.
When the exit condition is met, the strategy closes the position and triggers a sell signal, accompanied by an alert.
Plotting:
Buy Signals: Indicated with an upward triangle below the bar.
Sell Signals: Indicated with a downward triangle above the bar.
Application
This strategy is particularly effective for trading the SPX on a 1-hour timeframe, capitalizing on price movements by adjusting stop levels dynamically based on market volatility and trend direction.
Default Setup
Initial Capital: $1,000
Risk Multiplier: 5
ATR Period: 10
ATR Multiplier: 3
Stop Length: 21
SMA Length: 21
Commission: 0.01
Slippage: 3 Ticks
Backtesting Results
Backtesting indicates that the "Chande Kroll Stop Strategy" performs optimally on the SPX when applied to the 1-hour timeframe. The strategy's dynamic adjustment of stop levels helps manage risk effectively while capturing significant upward price movements. Backtesting was conducted with a realistic initial capital of $1,000, and commissions and slippage were included to ensure the results are not misleading.
Risk Management
The strategy incorporates risk management through dynamically calculated stop levels based on the ATR and a user-defined risk multiplier. This approach ensures that position sizes are adjusted according to market volatility, helping to mitigate potential losses. Trades are sized to risk a sustainable amount of equity, adhering to the guideline of risking no more than 5-10% per trade.
Usage Notes
Customization: Users can adjust the ATR period, ATR multiplier, stop length, and SMA length to better suit their trading style and risk tolerance.
Alerts: The strategy includes alerts for buy and sell signals to keep traders informed of potential entry and exit points.
Pyramiding: Although possible, the strategy yields the best results without pyramiding.
Justification of Components
The Chande Kroll Stop indicator and the 21-period SMA are combined to provide a robust framework for identifying long trading opportunities in trending markets. Here is why they work well together:
Chande Kroll Stop Indicator: This indicator provides dynamic stop levels that adapt to market volatility, allowing traders to set logical stop-loss levels that account for current price movements. It is particularly useful in volatile markets where fixed stops can be easily hit by random price fluctuations. By using the ATR, the stop levels adjust based on recent market activity, ensuring they remain relevant in varying market conditions.
21-Period SMA: The 21-period SMA acts as a trend filter to ensure trades are taken in the direction of the prevailing market trend. By requiring the closing price to be above the SMA for long entries, the strategy aligns itself with the broader market trend, reducing the risk of entering trades against the overall market direction. This helps to avoid false signals and ensures that the trades are in line with the dominant market movement.
Combining these two components creates a balanced approach that captures trending price movements while protecting against significant drawdowns through adaptive stop levels. The Chande Kroll Stop ensures that the stops are placed at levels that reflect current volatility, while the SMA filter ensures that trades are only taken when the market is trending in the desired direction.
Concepts Underlying Calculations
ATR (Average True Range): Used to measure market volatility, which informs the stop levels.
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Used to filter trades, ensuring positions are taken in the direction of the trend.
Chande Kroll Stop: Combines high and low price levels with ATR to create dynamic stop levels that adapt to market conditions.
Risk Disclaimer
Trading involves substantial risk, and most day traders incur losses. The "Chande Kroll Stop Strategy" is provided for informational and educational purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Users are advised to adjust and personalize this trading strategy to better match their individual trading preferences and risk tolerance.

Expected Intraday MovementThis indicator pretends to represent the "probable" maximum movement of an asset, for the rest of the day.
This indicator should be used "only" in intraday timeframe. You will not be able to see it if you select a longer timeframe.
To calculate the probable maximum movement, the indicator uses the VIX value for each minute.
On the first candle of the day, it also calculates the probable maximum movement for the whole day, and plots it in horizontal lines.
It also allows adding a couple of extra lines (for visual purposes only).
It also allows the creation of alerts, so that when the value of the asset is close to one of the limits, it can send you an alert using the Tradingview alert system.
Summary of parameters:
Intraday bands: allows you to show/hide the bands for each minute.
Intraday first candle projection: allows to show/hide the estimated projection from the first candle of the day.
Enable alert: allows to enable/disable alerts.
Upper and lower band offset: optional offset where alarms will be triggered (e.g. 10 points before the limit is reached).
Intraday Extra Projection: allows to show/hide extra levels (for visual purposes only)
Upper and lower extra: values for extra levels.
As always, no indicator is meant to provide a single, reliable strategy to your trading regimen and no indicator or group of indicators should be relied on solely. Be sure to do your own analysis and assessments of the stock prior to taking any trades.
Safe trades everyone!
Pineconnector Strategy Template (Connect Any Indicator)Hello traders,
If you're tired of manual trading and looking for a solid strategy template to pair with your indicators, look no further.
This Pine Script v5 strategy template is engineered for maximum customization and risk management.
Best part?
It’s optimized for Pineconnector, allowing seamless integration with MetaTrader 4 and 5.
This powerful tool gives a lot of power to those who don't know how to code in Pinescript and are looking to automate their indicators' signals on Metatrader 4/5.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Pineconnector is a trading bot software that forwards TradingView alerts to your Metatrader 4/5 for automating trading.
Many traders don't know how to dynamically create Pineconnector-compatible alerts using the data from their TradingView scripts.
Traders using trading bots want their alerts to reflect the stop-loss/take-profit/trailing-stop/stop-loss to break options from your script and then create the orders accordingly.
This script showcases how to create Pineconnector alerts dynamically.
Pineconnector doesn't support alerts with multiple Take Profits.
As a workaround, for 2 TPs, I had to open two trades.
It's not optimal, as we end up paying more spreads for that extra trade - however, depending on your trading strategy, it may not be a big deal.
TRADINGVIEW ALERTS
1) You'll have to create one alert per asset X timeframe = 1 chart.
Example: 1 alert for EUR/USD on the 5 minutes chart, 1 alert for EUR/USD on the 15-minute chart (assuming you want your bot to trade the EUR/USD on the 5 and 15-minute timeframes)
2) Select the Order fills and alert() function calls condition
3) For each alert, the alert message is pre-configured with the text below
{{strategy.order.alert_message}}
Please leave it as it is.
It's a TradingView native variable that will fetch the alert text messages built by the script.
4) Don't forget to set the Pineconnector webhook URL in the Notifications tab of the TradingView alerts UI.
You’ll find the URL on the Pineconnector documentation website.
EA CONFIGURATION
1) The Pyramiding in the EA on Metatrader must be set to 2 if you want to trade with 2 TPs => as it's opening 2 trades.
If you only want 1 TP, set the EA Pyramiding to 1.
Regarding the other EA settings, please refer to the Pineconnector documentation on their website.
2) In the EA, you can set a risk (= position size type) in %/lots/USD, as in the TradingView backtest settings.
KEY FEATURES
I) Modular Indicator Connection
* plug in your existing indicator into the template.
* Only two lines of code are needed for full compatibility.
Step 1: Create your connector
Adapt your indicator with only 2 lines of code and then connect it to this strategy template.
To do so:
1) Find in your indicator where the conditions print the long/buy and short/sell signals.
2) Create an additional plot as below
I'm giving an example with a Two moving averages cross.
Please replicate the same methodology for your indicator, whether it's a MACD , ZigZag , Pivots , higher-highs, lower-lows, or whatever indicator with clear buy and sell conditions.
//@version=5
indicator("Supertrend", overlay = true, timeframe = "", timeframe_gaps = true)
atrPeriod = input.int(10, "ATR Length", minval = 1)
factor = input.float(3.0, "Factor", minval = 0.01, step = 0.01)
= ta.supertrend(factor, atrPeriod)
supertrend := barstate.isfirst ? na : supertrend
bodyMiddle = plot(barstate.isfirst ? na : (open + close) / 2, display = display.none)
upTrend = plot(direction < 0 ? supertrend : na, "Up Trend", color = color.green, style = plot.style_linebr)
downTrend = plot(direction < 0 ? na : supertrend, "Down Trend", color = color.red, style = plot.style_linebr)
fill(bodyMiddle, upTrend, color.new(color.green, 90), fillgaps = false)
fill(bodyMiddle, downTrend, color.new(color.red, 90), fillgaps = false)
buy = ta.crossunder(direction, 0)
sell = ta.crossunder(direction, 0)
//////// CONNECTOR SECTION ////////
Signal = buy ? 1 : sell ? -1 : 0
plot(Signal, title = "Signal", display = display.data_window)
//////// CONNECTOR SECTION ////////
Important Notes
🔥 The Strategy Template expects the value to be exactly 1 for the bullish signal and -1 for the bearish signal
Now, you can connect your indicator to the Strategy Template using the method below or that one.
Step 2: Connect the connector
1) Add your updated indicator to a TradingView chart
2) Add the Strategy Template as well to the SAME chart
3) Open the Strategy Template settings, and in the Data Source field, select your 🔌Connector🔌 (which comes from your indicator)
Note it doesn’t have to be named 🔌Connector🔌 - you can name it as you want - however, I recommend an explicit name you can easily remember.
From then, you should start seeing the signals and plenty of other stuff on your chart.
🔥 Note that whenever you update your indicator values, the strategy statistics and visuals on your chart will update in real-time
II) Customizable Risk Management
- Choose between percentage or USD modes for maximum drawdown.
- Set max consecutive losing days and max losing streak length.
- I used the code from my friend @JosKodify for the maximum losing streak. :)
Will halt the EA and backtest orders fill whenever either of the safeguards above are “broken”
III) Intraday Risk Management
- Limit the maximum intraday losses both in percentage or USD.
- Option to set a maximum number of intraday trades.
- If your EA gets halted on an intraday chart, auto-restart it the next day.
IV) Spread and Account Filters
- Trade only if the spread is below a certain pip value.
- Set requirements based on account balance or equity.
V) Order Types and Position Sizing
- Choose between market, limit, or stop orders.
- Set your position size directly in the template.
Please use the position size from the “Inputs” and not the “Properties” tab.
Reason : The template sends the order on the same candle as the entry signals - at those entry signals candles, the position size isn’t computed yet, and the template can’t then send it to Pineconnector.
However, you can use the position size type (USD, contracts, %) from the “Properties” tab for backtesting.
In the EA, you can define the position size type for your orders in USD or lots or %.
VI) Advanced Take-Profit and Stop-Loss Options
- Choose to set your SL/TP in either pips or percentages.
- Option for multiple take-profit levels and trailing stop losses.
- Move your stop loss to break even +/- offset in pips for “risk-free” trades.
VII) Logger
The Pineconnector commands are logged in the TradingView logger.
You'll find more information about it in this TradingView blog post .

BACKTEST RESULTS FROM THIS POST
1) I connected this strategy template to a dummy Supertrend script.
I could have selected any other indicator or concept for this script post.
I wanted to share an example of how you can quickly upgrade your strategy, making it compatible with Pineconnector.
2) The backtest results aren't relevant for this educational script publication.
I used realistic backtesting data but didn't look too much into optimizing the results, as this isn't the point of why I'm publishing this script.
This strategy is a template to be connected to any indicator - the sky is the limit. :)
3) This template is made to take 1 trade per direction at any given time.
Pyramiding is set to 1 on TradingView.
The strategy default settings are:
* Initial Capital: 100000 USD
* Position Size: 1 contract
* Commission Percent: 0.075%
* Slippage: 1 tick
* No margin/leverage used
WHAT’S COMING NEXT FOR YOU GUYS?
I’ll make the same template for ProfitView, then for AutoView, and then for Alertatron.
All of those are free and open-source.
I have no affiliations with any of those companies - I'm publishing those templates as they will be useful to many of you.

This here is my take on the popular VWAP indicator with several novel features including:
Dual EMA smoothing.
Arithmetic and Harmonic Mean plots.
Custom Anchor feat. Intraday Session Sizes.
2 Pairs of Bands.
Side Input for Connection to other Indicator.
This can be used 'out of the box' as a replacement VWAP, benefitting from smoother transitions and easy-to-use custom alerts.
By design however, this is intended to be a highly customisable alternative with many adjustable parameters and a pseudo-modular input system to connect with another indicator. Well suited for the tweakers around here and those who like to get a little more creative.
I made this primarily for crypto although it should work for other markets. Default settings are best suited to 15m timeframe - the anchor of 1 week is ideal for crypto which often follows a cyclical nature from Monday through Sunday. In 15m, the default ema length of 21 means that the wap comes to match a standard vwap towards the end of Monday. If using higher chart timeframes, i recommend decreasing the ema length to closely match this principle (suggested: for 1h chart, try length = 8; for 4h chart, length = 2 or 3 should suffice).
Note: the use of harmonic mean calculations will cause problems on any data source incorporating both positive and negative values, it may also return unusable results on extremely low-value charts (eg: low-sat coins in /btc pairs).
Long version:
The development of this project was one driven more by experimentation than a specific end-goal, however i have tried to fine-tune everything into a coherent usable end-product. With that in mind then, this walkthrough will follow something of a development chronology as i dissect the various functions.
DUAL-EMA SMOOTHING
At its core this is based upon / adapted from the standard vwap indicator provided by TradingView although I have modified and changed most of it. The first mod is the dual ema smoothing. Rather than simply applying an ema to the output of the standard vwap function, instead i have incorporated the ema in a manner analogous to the way smas are used within a standard vwma. Sticking for now with the arithmetic mean, the basic vwap calculation is simply sum(source * volume) / sum(volume) across the anchored period. In this case i have simply applied an ema to each of the numerator and denominator values resulting in ema(sum(source * volume)) / ema(sum(volume)) with the ema length independent of the anchor. This results in smoother (albeit slower) transitions than the aforementioned post-vwap method. Furthermore in the case when anchor period is equal to current timeframe, the result is a basic volume-weighted ema.
The example below shows a standard vwap (1week anchor) in blue, a 21-ema applied to the vwap in purple and a dual-21-ema smoothed wap in gold. Notably both ema types come to effectively resemble the standard vwap after around 24 hours into the new anchor session but how they behave in the meantime is very different. The dual-ema transitions quite gradually while the post-vwap ema immediately sets about trying to catch up. Incidentally. a similar and slower variation of the dual-ema can be achieved with dual-rma although i have not included it in this indicator, attempted analogues using sma or wma were far less useful however.
STANDARD DEVIATION AND BANDS
With this updated calculation, a corresponding update to the standard deviation is also required. The vwap has its own anchored volume-weighted st.dev but this cannot be used in combination with the ema smoothing so instead it has been recalculated appropriately. There are two pairs of bands with separate multipliers (stepped to 0.1x) and in both cases high and low bands can be activated or deactivated individually. An example usage for this would be to create different upper and lower bands for profit and stoploss targets. Alerts can be set easily for different crossing conditions, more on this later.
Alongside the bands, i have also added the option to shift ('Deviate') the entire indicator up or down according to a multiple of the corrected st.dev value. This has many potential uses, for example if we want to bias our analysis in one direction it may be useful to move the wap in the opposite. Or if the asset is trading within a narrow range and we are waiting on a breakout, we could shift to the desired level and set alerts accordingly. The 'Deviate' parameter applies to the entire indicator including the bands which will remain centred on the main WAP.
CUSTOM (W)ANCHOR
Ever thought about using a vwap with anchor periods smaller than a day? Here you can do just that. I've removed the Earnings/Dividends/Splits options from the basic vwap and added an 'Intraday' option instead. When selected, a custom anchor length can be created as a multiple of minutes (default steps of 60 mins but can input any value from 0 - 1440). While this may not seem at first like a useful feature for anyone except hi-speed scalpers, this actually offers more interesting potential than it appears.
When set to 0 minutes the current timeframe is always used, turning this into the basic volume-weighted ema mentioned earlier. When using other low time frames the anchor can act as a pre-ema filter creating a stepped effect akin to an adaptive MA. Used in combination with the bands, the result is a kind of volume-weighted adaptive exponential bollinger band; if such a thing does not already exist then this is where you create it. Alternatively, by combining two instances you may find potential interesting crosses between an intraday wap and a standard timeframe wap. Below is an example set to intraday with 480 mins, 2x st.dev bands and ema length 21. Included for comparison in purple is a standard 21 ema.
I'm sure there are many potential uses to be found here, so be creative and please share anything you come up with in the comments.
ARITHMETIC AND HARMONIC MEAN CALCULATIONS
The standard vwap uses the arithmetic mean in its calculation. Indeed, most mean calculations tend to be arithmetic: sma being the most widely used example. When volume weighting is involved though this can lead to a slight bias in favour of upward moves over downward. While the effect of this is minor, over longer anchor periods it can become increasingly significant. The harmonic mean, on the other hand, has the opposite effect which results in a value that is always lower than the arithmetic mean. By viewing both arithmetic and harmonic waps together, the extent to which they diverge from each other can be used as a visual reference of how much price has changed during the anchored period.
Furthermore, the harmonic mean may actually be the more appropriate one to use during downtrends or bearish periods, in principle at least. Consider that a short trade is functionally the same as a long trade on the inverse of the pair (eg: selling BTC/USD is the same as buying USD/BTC). With the harmonic mean being an inverse of the arithmetic then, it makes sense to use it instead. To illustrate this below is a snapshot of LUNA/USDT on the left with its inverse 1/(LUNA/USDT) = USDT/LUNA on the right. On both charts is a wap with identical settings, note the resistance on the left and its corresponding support on the right. It should be easy from this to see that the lower harmonic wap on the left corresponds to the upper arithmetic wap on the right. Thus, it would appear that the harmonic mean should be used in a downtrend. In principle, at least...
In reality though, it is not quite so black and white. Rarely are these values exact in their predictions and the sort of range one should allow for inaccuracies will likely be greater than the difference between these two means. Furthermore, the ema smoothing has already introduced some lag and thus additional inaccuracies. Nevertheless, the symmetry warrants its inclusion.
SIDE INPUT & ALERTS
Finally we move on to the pseudo-modular component here. While TradingView allows some interoperability between indicators, it is limited to just one connection. Any attempt to use multiple source inputs will remove this functionality completely. The workaround here is to instead use custom 'string' input menus for additional sources, preserving this function in the sole 'source' input. In this case, since the wap itself is dependant only price and volume, i have repurposed the full 'source' into the second 'side' input. This allows for a separate indicator to interact with this one that can be used for triggering alerts. You could even use another instance of this one (there is a hidden wap:mid plot intended for this use which is the midpoint between both means). Note that deleting a connected indicator may result in the deletion of those connected to it.
Preset alertconditions are available for crossings of the side input above and below the main wap, alongside several customisable alerts with corresponding visual markers based upon selectable conditions. Alerts for band crossings apply only to those that are active and only crossings of the type specified within the 'crosses' subsection of the indicator settings. The included options make it easy to create buy alerts specific to certain bands with sell alerts specific to other bands. The chart below shows two instances with differing anchor periods, both are connected with buy and sell alerts enabled for visible bands.
Okay... So that just about covers it here, i think. As mentioned earlier this is the product of various experiments while i have been learning my way around PineScript. Some of those experiments have been branched off from this in order to not over-clutter it with functions. The pseudo-modular design and the 'side' input are the result of an attempt to create a connective framework across various projects. Even on its own though, this should offer plenty of tweaking potential for anyone who likes to venture away from the usual standards, all the while still retaining its core purpose as a traders tool.
Thanks for checking this out. I look forward to any feedback below.
Using `varip` variables [PineCoders]█ OVERVIEW
The new varip keyword in Pine can be used to declare variables that escape the rollback process, which is explained in the Pine User Manual's page on the execution model . This publication explains how Pine coders can use variables declared with varip to implement logic that was impossible to code in Pine before, such as timing events during the realtime bar, or keeping track of sequences of events that occur during successive realtime updates. We present code that allows you to calculate for how much time a given condition is true during a realtime bar, and show how this can be used to generate alerts.
█ WARNINGS
1. varip is an advanced feature which should only be used by coders already familiar with Pine's execution model and bar states .
2. Because varip only affects the behavior of your code in the realtime bar, it follows that backtest results on strategies built using logic based on varip will be meaningless,
as varip behavior cannot be simulated on historical bars. This also entails that plots on historical bars will not be able to reproduce the script's behavior in realtime.
3. Authors publishing scripts that behave differently in realtime and on historical bars should imperatively explain this to traders.
█ CONCEPTS
Escaping the rollback process
Whereas scripts only execute once at the close of historical bars, when a script is running in realtime, it executes every time the chart's feed detects a price or volume update. At every realtime update, Pine's runtime normally resets the values of a script's variables to their last committed value, i.e., the value they held when the previous bar closed. This is generally handy, as each realtime script execution starts from a known state, which simplifies script logic.
Sometimes, however, script logic requires code to be able to save states between different executions in the realtime bar. Declaring variables with varip now makes that possible. The "ip" in varip stands for "intrabar persist".
Let's look at the following code, which does not use varip :
//@version=4
study("")
int updateNo = na
if barstate.isnew
updateNo := 1
else
updateNo := updateNo + 1
plot(updateNo, style = plot.style_circles)
On historical bars, barstate.isnew is always true, so the plot shows a value of "1". On realtime bars, barstate.isnew is only true when the script first executes on the bar's opening. The plot will then briefly display "1" until subsequent executions occur. On the next executions during the realtime bar, the second branch of the if statement is executed because barstate.isnew is no longer true. Since `updateNo` is initialized to `na` at each execution, the `updateNo + 1` expression yields `na`, so nothing is plotted on further realtime executions of the script.
If we now use varip to declare the `updateNo` variable, the script behaves very differently:
//@version=4
study("")
varip int updateNo = na
if barstate.isnew
updateNo := 1
else
updateNo := updateNo + 1
plot(updateNo, style = plot.style_circles)
The difference now is that `updateNo` tracks the number of realtime updates that occur on each realtime bar. This can happen because the varip declaration allows the value of `updateNo` to be preserved between realtime updates; it is no longer rolled back at each realtime execution of the script. The test on barstate.isnew allows us to reset the update count when a new realtime bar comes in.
█ OUR SCRIPT
Let's move on to our script. It has three parts:
— Part 1 demonstrates how to generate alerts on timed conditions.
— Part 2 calculates the average of realtime update prices using a varip array.
— Part 3 presents a function to calculate the up/down/neutral volume by looking at price and volume variations between realtime bar updates.
Something we could not do in Pine before varip was to time the duration for which a condition is continuously true in the realtime bar. This was not possible because we could not save the beginning time of the first occurrence of the true condition.
One use case for this is a strategy where the system modeler wants to exit before the end of the realtime bar, but only if the exit condition occurs for a specific amount of time. One can thus design a strategy running on a 1H timeframe but able to exit if the exit condition persists for 15 minutes, for example. REMINDER: Using such logic in strategies will make backtesting their complete logic impossible, and backtest results useless, as historical behavior will not match the strategy's behavior in realtime, just as using `calc_on_every_tick = true` will do. Using `calc_on_every_tick = true` is necessary, by the way, when using varip in a strategy, as you want the strategy to run like a study in realtime, i.e., executing on each price or volume update.
Our script presents an `f_secondsSince(_cond, _resetCond)` function to calculate the time for which a condition is continuously true during, or even across multiple realtime bars. It only works in realtime. The abundant comments in the script hopefully provide enough information to understand the details of what it's doing. If you have questions, feel free to ask in the Comments section.
Features
The script's inputs allow you to:
• Specify the number of seconds the tested conditions must last before an alert is triggered (the default is 20 seconds).
• Determine if you want the duration to reset on new realtime bars.
• Require the direction of alerts (up or down) to alternate, which minimizes the number of alerts the script generates.
The inputs showcase the new `tooltip` parameter, which allows additional information to be displayed for each input by hovering over the "i" icon next to it.
The script only displays useful information on realtime bars. This information includes:
• The MA against which the current price is compared to determine the bull or bear conditions.
• A dash which prints on the chart when the bull or bear condition is true.
• An up or down triangle that prints when an alert is generated. The triangle will only appear on the update where the alert is triggered,
and unless that happens to be on the last execution of the realtime bar, it will not persist on the chart.
• The log of all triggered alerts to the right of the realtime bar.
• A gray square on top of the elapsed realtime bars where one or more alerts were generated. The square's tooltip displays the alert log for that bar.
• A yellow dot corresponding to the average price of all realtime bar updates, which is calculated using a varip array in "Part 2" of the script.
• Various key values in the Data Window for each parts of the script.
Note that the directional volume information calculated in Part 3 of the script is not plotted on the chart—only in the Data Window.
Using the script
You can try running the script on an open market with a 30sec timeframe. Because the default settings reset the duration on new realtime bars and require a 20 second delay, a reasonable amount of alerts will trigger.
Creating an alert on the script
You can create a script alert on the script. Keep in mind that when you create an alert from this script, the duration calculated by the instance of the script running the alert will not necessarily match that of the instance running on your chart, as both started their calculations at different times. Note that we use alert.freq_all in our alert() calls, so that alerts will trigger on all instances where the associated condition is met. If your alert is being paused because it reaches the maximum of 15 triggers in 3 minutes, you can configure the script's inputs so that up/down alerts must alternate. Also keep in mind that alerts run a distinct instance of your script on different servers, so discrepancies between the behavior of scripts running on charts and alerts can occur, especially if they trigger very often.
Challenges
Events detected in realtime using variables declared with varip can be transient and not leave visible traces at the close of the realtime bar, as is the case with our script, which can trigger multiple alerts during the same realtime bar, when the script's inputs allow for this. In such cases, elapsed realtime bars will be of no use in detecting past realtime bar events unless dedicated code is used to save traces of events, as we do with our alert log in this script, which we display as a tooltip on elapsed realtime bars.
█ NOTES
Realtime updates
We have no control over when realtime updates occur. A realtime bar can open, and then no realtime updates can occur until the open of the next realtime bar. The time between updates can vary considerably.
Past values
There is no mechanism to refer to past values of a varip variable across realtime executions in the same bar. Using the history-referencing operator will, as usual, return the variable's committed value on previous bars. If you want to preserve past values of a varip variable, they must be saved in other variables or in an array .
Resetting variables
Because varip variables not only preserve their values across realtime updates, but also across bars, you will typically need to plan conditions that will at some point reset their values to a known state. Testing on barstate.isnew , as we do, is a good way to achieve that.
Repainting
The fact that a script uses varip does not make it necessarily repainting. A script could conceivably use varip to calculate values saved when the realtime bar closes, and then use confirmed values of those calculations from the previous bar to trigger alerts or display plots, avoiding repaint.
timenow resolution
Although the variable is expressed in milliseconds it has an actual resolution of seconds, so it only increments in multiples of 1000 milliseconds.
Warn script users
When using varip to implement logic that cannot be replicated on historical bars, it's really important to explain this to traders in published script descriptions, even if you publish open-source. Remember that most TradingViewers do not know Pine.
New Pine features used in this script
This script uses three new Pine features:
• varip
• The `tooltip` parameter in input() .
• The new += assignment operator. See these also: -= , *= , /= and %= .
Example scripts
These are other scripts by PineCoders that use varip :
• Tick Delta Volume , by RicadoSantos .
• Tick Chart and Volume Info from Lower Time Frames by LonesomeTheBlue .

A BIG THANK YOU TO QUANTNOMAD WHO GIVE ME HIS PERMISSION TO USE, MODIFY AND REPUBLISH HIS "Ultimate Pivot Points Alerts" Script Indicator :
Good trade to all !
Pivots MTF [LucF]Pivots detected at higher timeframes are more significant because more market activity—or work—is required to produce them. This indicator displays pivots calculated on the higher timeframe of your choice.
Features
► Timeframe selection
— The higher timeframe (HTF) can be selected in 3 different ways:
• By steps (15 min., 60 min., 4H, 1D, 3D, 1W, 1M, 1Y). This setting is the default.
• As a multiple of the current chart's resolution, which can be fractional, so 3.5 will work.
• Fixed.
— The HTF used can be displayed near the last bar (default).
— Note that using the HTF is not mandatory. If it is disabled, the indicator will calculate on the chart's resolution.
— Non-repainting or repainting mode can be selected. This has no impact on the display of historical bars, but when no repainting is selected, pivot detection in the realtime bar will be delayed by one chart bar (not one bar at the HTF).
► Pivots
— Three color schemes are provided: green/red, aqua/pink and coral/violet (the default).
— Both the thickness and brightness of lines can be controlled separately for the hi and lo pivots.
— The visibility of the last hi/lo pivots can be enhanced.
— Prices can be displayed on pivot lines and the text's size and color can be adjusted.
— The number of bars required for the left/right pivot legs can be controlled (the default is 4).
— The source can be selected individually for hi and lo pivots (the default is hlc3 and low .
— The mean of the hi/lo pivot values of the last few thousand chart bars can be displayed. Pivots having lasted longer during the mean's period will weigh more in the calculation. The mean can be displayed in running mode and/or only showing its last level as a long horizontal line. I don't find it very useful; maybe others will.
► Markers and Alerts
— Markers can be configured on breaches of either the last hi/lo pivot levels, or the hi/lo mean. Crossovers and crossunders are controlled separately.
— Alerts can be configured using any of the marker combinations. As is usual for my indicators, only one alert is used. It will trigger on the markers that are active when you create your alert. Once your markers are set up the way you want, create your alert from the chart/timeframe you want the alert to run on, and be sure to use the “Once Per Bar Close” triggering condition. Use an alert message that will remind you of the combination of markers used when creating the alert. If you use multiple markers to trigger one alert, then having the indicator show those markers will be important to help you figure out which marker triggered the alert when it fired.
A quick look at the pattern of these markers will hopefully convince you that using them as entry/exit signals would be perilous, as they are prone to whipsaw. I have included them because some traders may use the markers as reminders.
Using Pivots
These pivots can be used in a few different ways:
— When using the high / low sources they will show extreme levels, breaches of which should be more significant.
— Another way to use them is with hlc3 (the average of the high , low and close ) for hi pivots and low for the lo pivots. This accounts for my personal mythology to the effect that drops typically reach previous lows more easily than rallies make newer highs.
— Using low for hi pivots and high for lo pivots (so backward) can be a useful way to set stops or to detect weakness in movements.
You will usually be better served by pivots if you consider them as denoting regions rather than precise levels. The flexibility in the display options of this indicator will help you adapt it to the way you use your pivots. To indicate areas rather than levels, for example, try using a brightness of 1 with a line thickness of 30. The cloud effect generated this way will show areas better than fine lines.
Realize that these pivot lines are positioned in the past, and so they are drawn after the fact because a given number of bars need to elapse before calculations determine a pivot has occurred. You will thus never see a pivot top, for example, identified on the realtime bar. To detect a pivot, it takes a number of bars corresponding to the dilation of the higher timeframe in the current one, multiplied by the number of bars you use for your pivots' right leg. Also note that the Pine native function used to detect pivots in this indicator considers a summit to be a top when the number of bars in each leg are lower or equal to that top. Bars in legs do not need to be progressively lower on each side of the pivot for a pivot to be detected.

CRT Finder (WanHakimFX)📈 Liquidity Grab Indicator with MTF Confluence & Alerts
🔍 Overview:
The Liquidity Grab Indicator is designed to detect precise moments when price sweeps liquidity — either by wicking below recent lows (bullish LQH) or above recent highs (bearish LQL) — followed by a clear rejection. It combines this logic with multi-timeframe confirmation and trend filters, making it a powerful tool for identifying high-probability reversal setups.
⚙️ How It Works:
✅ Liquidity Sweep Logic (LQH / LQL)
Bullish (LQH):
Current candle wicks below the previous low
Closes above the previous candle body
Confirms potential bullish reversal
Bearish (LQL):
Current candle wicks above the previous high
Closes below the previous candle body
Confirms potential bearish reversal
✅ Additional Conditions:
Must occur during London or New York sessions.
Requires trend confluence:
LQH = Price must be above SMMA 60/100/200
LQL = Price must be below SMMA 60/100/200
🧠 Multi-Timeframe Confluence:
The indicator scans for LQH/LQL sweeps across:
Daily
4H
1H
30M
15M
If a sweep occurs on any of these timeframes, an alert is triggered and a triangle marker appears on the chart for real-time visual confluence.
📊 Visual Features:
Green/Red labels for active timeframe sweeps.
Dotted wick lines to show liquidity zones from the previous candle.
Colored triangle markers for MTF sweep alerts.
🛠 Strategy Usage:
This indicator is best used as a trigger tool in a confluence-based strategy:
Use higher-timeframe MTF LQH/LQL markers for directional bias.
Wait for matching sweep on your entry timeframe (e.g., M1/M5).
Enter on confirmation candle or break of structure.
Target imbalances, FVGs, or previous highs/lows.
Risk-managed entries using sweep candle's high/low as stop.
📢 Alerts:
✅ Bullish Sweep (LQH) on any timeframe
✅ Bearish Sweep (LQL) on any timeframe
Machine Learning | Adaptive Trend Signals [Bitwardex]⚙️🧠Machine Learning | Adaptive Trend Signals
🔷Overview
Machine Learning | Adaptive Trend Signals is a Pine Script™ v6 indicator designed to visualize market trends and generate signals through a combination of volatility clustering, Gaussian smoothing, and adaptive trend calculations. Built as an overlay indicator, it integrates advanced techniques inspired by machine learning concepts, such as K-Means clustering, to adapt to changing market conditions. The script is highly customizable, includes a backtesting module, and supports alert conditions, making it suitable for traders exploring trend-based strategies and developers studying volatility-driven indicator design.
🔷Functionality
The indicator performs the following core functions:
• Volatility Clustering: Uses K-Means clustering to categorize market volatility into high, medium, and low states, adjusting trend sensitivity accordingly.
• Trend Calculation: Computes adaptive trend lines (SmartTrend) based on volatility-adjusted standard deviation, smoothed RSI, and ADX filters.
• Signal Generation: Identifies potential buy and sell points through trend line crossovers and directional confirmation.
• Backtesting Module: Tracks trade outcomes based on the SmartTrend3 value, displaying win rate and total trades.
• Visualization: Plots trend lines with gradient colors and optional signal markers (bullish 🐮 and bearish 🐻).
• Alerts: Provides configurable alerts for trend shifts and volatility state changes.
🔷Technical Methodology
Volatility Clustering with K-Means
The indicator employs a K-Means clustering algorithm to classify market volatility, measured via the Average True Range (ATR), into three distinct clusters:
• Data Collection: Gathers ATR values over a user-defined training period (default: 100 bars).
• Centroid Initialization: Sets initial centroids at the highest, lowest, and midpoint ATR values within the training period.
• Iterative Clustering: Assigns ATR data points to the nearest centroid, recalculates centroid means, and repeats until convergence.
• Dynamic Adjustment: Assigns a volatility state (high, medium, or low) based on the closest centroid, adjusting the trend factor (e.g., tighter for high volatility, wider for low volatility).
This approach allows the indicator to adapt its sensitivity to varying market conditions, providing a data-driven foundation for trend calculations.
🔷Gaussian Smoothing
To enhance signal clarity and reduce noise, the indicator applies Gaussian kernel smoothing to:
• RSI: Smooths the Relative Strength Index (calculated from OHLC4) to filter short-term fluctuations.
• SmartTrend: Smooths the primary trend line for a more stable output.
The Gaussian kernel uses a sigma value derived from the user-defined smoothing length, ensuring mathematically consistent noise reduction.
🔷SmartTrend Calculation
The pineSmartTrend function is the core of the indicator, producing three trend lines:
• SmartTrend: The primary trend line, calculated using a volatility-adjusted standard deviation, smoothed RSI, and ADX conditions.
• SmartTrend2: A secondary trend line with a wider factor (base factor * 1.382) for signal confirmation.
SmartTrend3: The average of SmartTrend and SmartTrend2, used for plotting and backtesting.
Key components of the calculation include:
• Dynamic Standard Deviation: Scales based on ATR relative to its 50-period smoothed average, with multipliers (1.0 to 1.4) applied according to volatility thresholds.
• RSI and ADX Filters: Requires RSI > 50 for bullish trends or < 50 for bearish trends, alongside ADX > 15 and rising to confirm trend strength.
Volatility-Adjusted Bands: Constructs upper and lower bands around price action, adjusted by the volatility cluster’s dynamic factor.
🔷Signal Generation
The generate_signals function generates signals as follows:
• Buy Signal: Triggered when SmartTrend crosses above SmartTrend2 and the price is above SmartTrend, with directional confirmation.
• Sell Signal: Triggered when SmartTrend crosses below SmartTrend2 and the price is below SmartTrend, with directional confirmation.
Directional Logic: Tracks trend direction to filter out conflicting signals, ensuring alignment with the broader market context.
Signals are visualized as small circles with bullish (🐮) or bearish (🐻) emojis, with an option to toggle visibility.
🔷Backtesting
The get_backtest function evaluates signal outcomes using the SmartTrend3 value (rather than closing prices) to align with the trend-based methodology.
It tracks:
• Total Trades: Counts completed long and short trades.
• Win Rate: Calculates the percentage of trades where SmartTrend3 moves favorably (higher for longs, lower for shorts).
Position Management: Closes opposite positions before opening new ones, simulating a single-position trading system.
Results are displayed in a table at the top-right of the chart, showing win rate and total trades. Note that backtest results reflect the indicator’s internal logic and should not be interpreted as predictive of real-world performance.
🔷Visualization and Alerts
• Trend Lines: SmartTrend3 is plotted with gradient colors reflecting trend direction and volatility cluster, accompanied by a secondary line for visual clarity.
• Signal Markers: Optional buy/sell signals are plotted as small circles with customizable colors.
• Alerts: Supports alerts for:
• Bullish and bearish trend shifts (confirmed on bar close).
Transitions to high, medium, or low volatility states.
🔷Input Parameters
• ATR Length (default: 14): Period for ATR calculation, used in volatility clustering.
• Period (default: 21): Common period for RSI, ADX, and standard deviation calculations.
• Base SmartTrend Factor (default: 2.0): Base multiplier for volatility-adjusted bands.
• SmartTrend Smoothing Length (default: 10): Length for Gaussian smoothing of the trend line.
• Show Buy/Sell Signals? (default: true): Enables/disables signal markers.
• Bullish/Bearish Color: Customizable colors for trend lines and signals.

Volume-Price Momentum IndicatorVolume-Price Momentum Indicator (VPMI)
Overview
The Volume-Price Momentum Indicator (VPMI), developed by Kevin Svenson , is a powerful technical analysis tool designed to identify strong bullish and bearish momentum in price movements, driven by volume dynamics. By analyzing price changes and volume surges over a user-defined lookback period, VPMI highlights potential trend shifts and continuation patterns through a smoothed histogram, optional labels, and background highlights. Ideal for traders seeking to capture momentum-driven opportunities, VPMI is suitable for various markets, including stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies.
How It Works
VPMI calculates the difference between volume-weighted buying and selling pressure based on price changes over a specified lookback period. It amplifies signals during high-volume periods, applies smoothing to reduce noise, and uses momentum checks to detect sustained trends.
Indicator display:
A histogram that oscillates above (bullish) or below (bearish) a zero line, with brighter colors indicating stronger momentum and faded colors for weaker signals.
Optional labels ("Bullish" or "Bearish") to mark significant momentum shifts.
Optional background highlights to visually emphasize strong trend conditions.
Alerts to notify users when strong bullish or bearish momentum is detected.
Key Features
Customizable Settings:
Adjust the lookback period, volume threshold, momentum length, and smoothing to suit your trading style.
Volume Sensitivity:
Emphasizes price movements during high-volume surges, enhancing signal reliability.
Momentum Detection: Uses linear regression and momentum change to confirm sustained trends, reducing false signals.

[TehThomas] - ICT Inversion Fair value Gap (IFVG) The Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders who utilize ICT (Inner Circle Trader) strategies. It focuses on identifying and displaying Inversion Fair Value Gaps, which are critical zones that emerge when traditional Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) are invalidated by price action. These gaps represent key areas where price often reacts, making them essential for identifying potential reversals, trend continuations, and liquidity zones.
What Are Inversion Fair Value Gaps?
Inversion Fair Value Gaps occur when price revisits a traditional FVG and breaks through it, effectively flipping its role in the market. For example:
A bullish FVG that is invalidated becomes a bearish zone, often acting as resistance.
A bearish FVG that is invalidated transforms into a bullish zone, serving as support.
These gaps are significant because they often align with institutional trading activity. They highlight areas where large orders have been executed or where liquidity has been targeted. Understanding these gaps provides traders with a deeper insight into market structure and helps them anticipate future price movements with greater accuracy.
Why This Strategy Works
The IFVG concept is rooted in ICT principles, which emphasize liquidity dynamics, market inefficiencies, and institutional order flow. Traditional FVGs represent imbalances in price action caused by gaps between candles. When these gaps are invalidated, they become inversion zones that can act as magnets for price. These zones frequently serve as high-probability areas for price reversals or trend continuations.
This strategy works because it aligns with how institutional traders operate. Inversion gaps often mark areas of interest for "smart money," making them reliable indicators of potential market turning points. By focusing on these zones, traders can align their strategies with institutional behavior and improve their overall trading edge.
How the Indicator Works
This indicator simplifies the process of identifying and tracking IFVGs by automating their detection and visualization on the chart. It scans the chart in real-time to identify bullish and bearish FVGs that meet user-defined thresholds for inversion. Once identified, these gaps are dynamically displayed on the chart with distinct colors for bullish and bearish zones.
The indicator also tracks whether these gaps are mitigated or broken by price action. When an IFVG is broken, it extends the zone for a user-defined number of bars to visualize its potential role as a new support or resistance level. Additionally, alerts can be enabled to notify traders when new IFVGs form or when existing ones are broken, ensuring timely decision-making in fast-moving markets.
Key Features
Automatic Detection: The indicator automatically identifies bullish and bearish IFVGs based on user-defined thresholds.
Dynamic Visualization: It displays IFVGs directly on the chart with customizable colors for easy differentiation.
Real-Time Updates: The status of each IFVG is updated dynamically based on price action.
Zone Extensions: Broken IFVGs are extended to visualize their potential as support or resistance levels.
Alerts: Notifications can be set up to alert traders when key events occur, such as the formation or breaking of an IFVG.
These features make the tool highly efficient and reduce the need for manual analysis, allowing traders to focus on execution rather than tedious chart work.
Benefits of Using This Indicator
The IFVG indicator offers several advantages that make it an indispensable tool for ICT traders. By automating the detection of inversion gaps, it saves time and reduces errors in analysis. The clearly defined zones improve risk management by providing precise entry points, stop-loss levels, and profit targets based on market structure.
This tool is also highly versatile and adapts seamlessly across different timeframes. Whether you’re scalping lower timeframes or swing trading higher ones, it provides actionable insights tailored to your trading style. Furthermore, by aligning your strategy with institutional logic, you gain a significant edge in anticipating market movements.
Practical Applications
This indicator can be used across various trading styles:
Scalping: Identify quick reversal points on lower timeframes using real-time alerts.
Day Trading: Use inversion gaps as key levels for intraday support/resistance or trend continuation setups.
Swing Trading: Analyse higher timeframes to identify major inversion zones that could act as critical turning points in larger trends.
By integrating this tool into your trading routine, you can streamline your analysis process and focus on executing high-probability setups.
Conclusion
The Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG) indicator is more than just a technical analysis tool—it’s a strategic ally for traders looking to refine their edge in the markets. By automating the detection and tracking of inversion gaps based on ICT principles, it simplifies complex market analysis while maintaining accuracy and depth. Whether you’re new to ICT strategies or an experienced trader seeking greater precision, this indicator will elevate your trading game by aligning your approach with institutional behavior.
If you’re serious about improving your trading results while saving time and effort, this tool is an essential addition to your toolkit. It provides clarity in chaotic markets, enhances precision in trade execution, and ensures you never miss critical opportunities in your trading journey.

PDF-MA Supertrend [BackQuant]PDF-MA Supertrend
The PDF-MA Supertrend combines the innovative Probability Density Function (PDF) smoothing with the widely popular Supertrend methodology, creating a robust tool for identifying trends and generating actionable trading signals. This indicator is designed to provide precise entries and exits by dynamically adapting to market volatility while visualizing long and short opportunities directly on the chart.
Core Feature: PDF Smoothing
At the foundation of this indicator is the PDF smoothing technique, which applies a Probability Density Function to calculate a smoothed moving average. This method allows the indicator to assign adaptive weights to data points, making it responsive to market changes without overreacting to short-term volatility.
Key parameters include:
Variance: Controls the spread of the PDF weighting. A smaller variance results in sharper responses, while a larger variance smooths out the curve.
Mean: Shifts the PDF’s center, allowing traders to tweak how weights are distributed around the data points.
Smoothing Method: Offers the choice between EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and SMA (Simple Moving Average) for blending the PDF-smoothed data with traditional moving average methods.
By combining these parameters, the PDF smoothing creates a moving average that effectively captures underlying trends.
Supertrend: Adaptive Trend and Volatility Tracking
The Supertrend is a well-known volatility-based indicator that dynamically adjusts to market conditions using the ATR (Average True Range). In this script, the PDF-smoothed moving average acts as the price input, making the Supertrend calculation more adaptive and precise.
Key Supertrend Features:
ATR Period: Determines the lookback period for calculating market volatility.
Factor: Multiplies the ATR to set the distance between the Supertrend and the price. A higher factor creates wider bands, filtering out smaller price movements, while a lower factor captures tighter trends.
Dynamic Direction: The Supertrend flips its direction based on price interactions with the calculated upper and lower bands:
Uptrend : When the price is above the Supertrend, the direction turns bullish.
Downtrend : When the price is below the Supertrend, the direction turns bearish.
This combination of PDF smoothing and Supertrend calculation ensures that trends are detected with greater accuracy, while volatility filters out market noise.
Long and Short Signal Generation
The PDF-MA Supertrend generates actionable trading signals by detecting transitions in the trend direction:
Long Signal (𝕃): Triggered when the trend transitions from bearish to bullish. This is visually represented with a green triangle below the price bars.
Short Signal (𝕊): Triggered when the trend transitions from bullish to bearish. This is marked with a red triangle above the price bars.
These signals provide traders with clear entry and exit points, ensuring they can capitalize on emerging trends while avoiding false signals.
Customizable Visualization Options
The indicator offers a range of visualization settings to help traders interpret the data with ease:
Show Supertrend: Option to toggle the visibility of the Supertrend line.
Candle Coloring: Automatically colors candlesticks based on the trend direction:
Green for long trends.
Red for short trends.
Long and Short Signals (𝕃 + 𝕊): Displays long (𝕃) and short (𝕊) signals directly on the chart for quick identification of trade opportunities.
Line Color Customization: Allows users to customize the colors for long and short trends.
Alert Conditions
To ensure traders never miss an opportunity, the PDF-MA Supertrend includes built-in alerts for trend changes:
Long Signal Alert: Notifies when a bullish trend is identified.
Short Signal Alert: Notifies when a bearish trend is identified.
These alerts can be configured for real-time notifications via SMS, email, or push notifications, making it easier to stay updated on market movements.
Suggested Parameter Adjustments
The indicator’s effectiveness can be fine-tuned using the following guidelines:
Variance:
For low-volatility assets (e.g., indices): Use a smaller variance (1.0–1.5) for smoother trends.
For high-volatility assets (e.g., cryptocurrencies): Use a larger variance (1.5–2.0) to better capture rapid price changes.
ATR Factor:
A higher factor (e.g., 2.0) is better suited for long-term trend-following strategies.
A lower factor (e.g., 1.5) captures shorter-term trends.
Smoothing Period:
Shorter periods provide more reactive signals but may increase noise.
Longer periods offer stability and better alignment with significant trends.
Experimentation is encouraged to find the optimal settings for specific assets and trading strategies.
Trading Applications
The PDF-MA Supertrend is a versatile indicator suited to a variety of trading approaches:
Trend Following : Use the Supertrend line and signals to follow market trends and ride sustained price movements.
Reversal Trading : Spot potential trend reversals as the Supertrend flips direction.
Volatility Analysis : Adjust the ATR factor to filter out minor price fluctuations or capture sharp movements.
Final Thoughts
The PDF-MA Supertrend combines the precision of Probability Density Function smoothing with the adaptability of the Supertrend methodology, offering traders a powerful tool for identifying trends and volatility. With its customizable parameters, actionable signals, and built-in alerts, this indicator is an excellent choice for traders seeking a robust and reliable system for trend detection and entry/exit timing.

MERCURY by DrAbhiramSivprasad"MERCURY by DrAbhiramSivprasad"
Developed from over 10 years of personal trading experience, the Mercury Indicator is a strategic tool designed to enhance accuracy in trading decisions. Think of it as a guiding light—a supportive tool that helps traders refine and build more robust strategies by integrating multiple powerful elements into a single indicator. I’ll be sharing some examples to illustrate how I use this indicator in my own trading journey, highlighting its potential to improve strategy accuracy.
Reason behind the combination of emas , cpr and vwap is it provides very good support and resistance in my trading carrier so now i brought them together in one plate
How It Works:
Mercury combines three essential elements—EMA, VWAP, and CPR—each of which plays a vital role in detecting support and resistance:
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs): Known for their strength in providing dynamic support and resistance levels, EMAs help in identifying trends and shifts in momentum. This indicator includes a dashboard with up to nine customizable EMAs, showing whether each is acting as support or resistance based on real-time price movement.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP): VWAP also provides valuable support and resistance, often regarded as a fair price level by institutional traders. Paired with EMAs, it forms a dual-layered support/resistance system, adding an additional level of confirmation.
Central Pivot Range (CPR): By combining CPR with EMAs and VWAP, Mercury highlights “traffic blocks” in your target journey. This means it identifies zones where price is likely to stall or reverse, providing additional guidance for navigating entries and exits.
Why This Combination Matters:
Using these three tools together gives you a more complete view of the market. VWAP and EMAs offer dynamic trend direction and support/resistance, while CPR pinpoints critical price zones. This combination helps you find high-probability trades, adding clarity to complex market situations and enabling stronger confirmation on trend or reversal decisions.
How to Use:
Trend Confirmation: Check if all EMAs are aligned (green for uptrend, red for downtrend), which is visible in the EMA dashboard. An alignment across VWAP, CPR, and EMAs signifies high confidence in trend direction.
Breakouts & Breakdowns: Mercury has an alert system to signal when a price breakout or breakdown occurs across VWAP, EMA1, and EMA2. This can help in spotting strong directional moves.
Example Application: In my trading, I use Mercury to identify support/resistance zones, confirming trends with EMA/VWAP alignment and using CPR as a checkpoint. I find this especially useful for day trading and swing setups.
Recommended Timeframes:
Day Trading: 5 to 15-minute charts for swift, actionable insights.
Swing Trading: 1-hour or 4-hour charts for broader trend analysis.
Note:
The Mercury Indicator should be used as a supportive tool rather than a standalone strategy, guiding you toward informed decisions in line with your trading style and goals.
EXAMPLE OF TRADE
you can see the cart of XAUUSD on 11th nov 2024
1.SHORT POSITION - TIME FRAME 15 MIN
So here for a short position you need to wait for a breakdown candle which will print in orange post the candle you need to check ema dashboard is completly red that indicates no traffic blocks in your journey to destiny target from ema's and you can take the target from nearest cpr support line
TAKEN IN XAUUSD you can see in chart of XAUUSD on 7th nov
2.LONG POSITION - TIME FRAME 15 MIN -
So here for long position you need to wait for a breakout candle from indicator thats here is blue and check all ema boxes are green and candle body should close above all the 3 lines here it is the both ema 1 and 2 and the vwap line then you can take and entry and your target will be the nearest resistance from the daily cpr
3. STOP LOSS CRITERIA
After the entry any candle close below any of the last line from entry for example we have 3 lines vwap and ema 1 and 2 lines and u have made an entry and the last line before the entry is vwap then if any candle closes below vwap can be considered as stoploss like wise in any lines
The MERCURY indicator is a comprehensive trading tool designed to enhance traders' ability to identify trends, breakouts, and reversals effectively. Created by Dr. Abhiram Sivprasad, this indicator integrates several technical elements, including Central Pivot Range (CPR), EMA crossovers, VWAP levels, and a table-based EMA dashboard, to offer a holistic trading view.
Core Components and Functionality:
Central Pivot Range (CPR):
The CPR in MERCURY provides a central pivot level along with Below Central (BC) and Top Central (TC) pivots. These levels act as potential support and resistance, useful for identifying reversal points and zones where price may consolidate.
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
MERCURY includes up to nine EMAs, with a customizable EMA crossover alert system. This feature enables traders to see shifts in trend direction, especially when shorter EMAs cross longer ones.
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price):
VWAP is incorporated as a dynamic support/resistance level and, combined with EMA crossovers, helps refine entry and exit points for higher probability trades.
Breakout and Breakdown Alerts:
MERCURY monitors conditions for upside and downside breakouts. For an upside breakout, all EMAs turn green and a candle closes above VWAP, EMA1, and EMA2. Similarly, all EMAs turning red, combined with a close below VWAP and EMA1/EMA2, signals a downside breakdown. Continuous alerts are available until the trend shifts.
Real-Time EMA Dashboard:
A table displays each EMA’s relative position (Above or Below), helping traders quickly gauge trend direction. Colors in the table adjust to long/short conditions based on EMA alignment.
Usage Recommendations:
Trend Confirmation:
Use the CPR, EMA alignments, and VWAP to confirm uptrends and downtrends. The table highlights trends, making it easy to spot long or short setups at a glance.
Breakout and Breakdown Alerts:
The alert system is customizable for continuous notifications on critical price levels. When all EMAs align in one direction (green for long, red for short) and the close is above or below VWAP and key EMAs, the indicator confirms a breakout/breakdown.
Adaptable for Different Styles:
Day Trading: Traders can set shorter EMAs for quick insights.
Swing Trading: Longer EMAs combined with CPR offer insights into sustained trends.
Recommended Settings:
Timeframes: MERCURY is suitable for timeframes as low as 5 minutes for intraday traders, up to daily charts for trend analysis.
