Ahsan Tufail Precise MA Crossover Filter for Reliable SignalsIntroduction:
In the ever-evolving world of Forex trading, strategies that provide a competitive edge are highly sought after. The Moving Average (MA) crossover technique is a popular long-term approach, but its vulnerability to false signals can lead to potential losses. To overcome this challenge, we introduce a game-changing MA crossover filter designed to weed out false signals and unlock the full potential of this strategy. In this article, we delve into the mechanics of this filter, providing a comprehensive analysis of its components and how it enhances the accuracy of buy and sell signals.
The Power of the MA Crossover Filter:
The essence of our MA crossover filter lies in the integration of a specialized indicator that operates on a scale of 0 to 100. This ingenious indicator dynamically measures the distance between the middle Bollinger band and either the upper or lower Bollinger band. By analyzing the values of the last 504 candlesticks, it maps the range from 50 to 100 for the largest and smallest distances between the middle and upper Bollinger bands. Similarly, for values ranging from 0 to 50, it measures the distance between the middle and lower Bollinger bands.
Unveiling the Signal Execution Process:
The brilliance of this filter is revealed in its meticulous execution of buy and sell signals, which significantly reduces false crossovers. Let's explore the process step-by-step:
Buy Signal Precision:
To initiate a buy signal, the price must be positioned above the 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
The filter validates the crossover by checking the indicator's value, ensuring it falls below the threshold of 25.
Sell Signal Accuracy:
For a sell signal, the price must be below the 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
The filter confirms the crossover by verifying the indicator's value, which should exceed the threshold of 75.
This selective approach ensures that only high-confidence crossovers are considered, maximizing the potential for profitable trades.
Fine-Tuning the Filter for Optimal Performance:
While the MA crossover filter exhibits its prowess in GBPUSD and EURUSD currency pairs, it may require adjustments for other pairs. Currency pairs possess unique characteristics, and adapting the filter to specific behavior is crucial for its success.
To fine-tune the filter for alternative currency pairs, traders should conduct rigorous backtesting and analyze historical price data. By experimenting with indicator threshold values, traders can calibrate the filter to accurately match the dynamics of the target currency pair. This iterative process allows for customization, ultimately resulting in a finely-tuned filter that aligns with the unique behavior of the selected market.
Conclusion:
The MA crossover filter represents a paradigm shift in long-term Forex trading strategies. By intelligently filtering false signals, this precision tool unleashes the true potential of the MA crossover technique, elevating its profitability and enhancing overall trading performance. While no strategy guarantees absolute success, incorporating this filter empowers traders with a heightened level of confidence in their buy and sell signals. Embracing the power of this innovative filter can be a transformative step towards mastering Forex profits and staying ahead in the dynamic world of currency trading.

Edri Extreme Points Buy & SellEDRI EXTREME POINTS BUY & SELL INDICATOR
This Buy and Sell (non-repainting) indicator uses signals based on the combined CCI/Momentum and RSI indicators and optional regular divergence.
The idea of the indicator is to look for a potential reversal after the price reached extreme points (overbought or oversold) and signals an entry when the price shows signs of momentum for reversal.
Optionally, it considers finding a divergence while RSI is at the extreme levels to improve the predictability of a possible reversal.
Additionally, the indicator includes a simple Mean Reversion visual on the chart to assist users in identifying extreme price levels and potential reversal opportunities. It features upper and lower bands that can be optionally plotted, showing calculated values where price bounces at those extreme levels.
The purpose of these bands is to help traders avoid getting trapped in the middle of a trend and to guide them to buy low and sell high. (It's important to note that this is purely a visual aid and does not impact the generation of trade signals.)
By utilizing the Mean Reversion bands alongside the entry conditions, traders can gain insights into potential price reversals and make more informed decisions about when to enter or exit trades.
Buy and Sell Entry conditions:
• The indicator looks at the CCI/Momentum indicator to turn positive (if buy) or negative (if sell) after the RSI was overbought or oversold in the recent past.
• It also checks if there is a 3-period regular bullish divergence in the RSI (if buy), or regular bearish divergence (if sell) and consider these in the entry condition.
• If these conditions are met, this indicator suggests that it may be a good time to enter a trade.
In summary this is how this indicator works:
• The indicator takes input settings such as the choice between using CCI or Momentum as the entry signal source, length parameters for CCI/Momentum, RSI levels for overbought and oversold conditions, RSI length, and options to plot mean reversion bands on the chart.
• It calculates the CCI and Momentum and RSI values based on user-defined length..
• It checks for regular bullish and bearish divergences (3 periods) in the RSI if the option is enabled.
• The script plots shapes on the chart to indicate the buy and sell signals based on the entry conditions.
• If the mean reversion bands option is enabled, it calculates the mean reversion, standard deviation, upper band, and lower band values.
• It also plots the upper band, mean reversion line, and lower band on the chart if the mean reversion bands option is enabled.
• This indicator includes alert conditions to generate alerts for the buy and sell signals.
• On top of that, users can opt to use only one alert for both buy and sell signals. (This can save Trading view subscribers with limited alerts.)
Important! Please do not consider everything you read here as financial advice. Additionally, do not rely solely on indicators for making your trading decisions. It is important to note that no indicator or strategy is perfect. Therefore, it is always recommended to backtest everything and practice proper risk management.
I appreciate your feedback on this indicator. As I am new to script development, I am open to comments and suggestions to improve it. If you encounter any issues while using this indicator, please let me know in the comments section. If you find it helpful, I kindly ask for your support in boosting it. Thank you for your cooperation.
BB and KC StrategyThis script is designed as a TradingView strategy that uses Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC) as the primary indicators for generating trade signals. It aims to catch potential market trends by comparing the movements of these two popular volatility measures.
Key aspects of this strategy:
1. **Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels:** Both are volatility-based indicators. The Bollinger Bands consist of a middle band (simple moving average) and two outer bands calculated based on standard deviation, which adjusts itself to market conditions. Keltner Channels are a set of bands placed above and below an exponential moving average of the price. The distance between the bands is calculated based on the Average True Range (ATR), a measure of price volatility.
2. **Entry Signals:** The strategy enters a long position when the upper KC line crosses above the upper BB line and the volume is above its moving average. Conversely, it enters a short position when the lower KC line crosses below the lower BB line and the volume is above its moving average.
3. **Exit Signals:** The strategy exits a position under two conditions. First, if the trade has been open for a certain number of bars defined by the user (default 20 bars). Second, a stop loss and trailing stop are in place to limit potential losses and lock in profits as the price moves favorably. The stop loss is set at a percentage of the entry price (default 1.5% for long and -1.5% for short), and the trailing stop is also a percentage of the entry price (default 2%).
4. **Trade Quantity:** The script allows specifying the investment amount for each trade, set to a default of 1000 currency units.
Remember, this is a strategy script, which means it is used for backtesting and not for real-time signals or live trading. It is also recommended that it is used as a tool to aid your trading, not as a standalone system. As with any strategy, it should be tested over different market conditions and used in conjunction with other aspects of technical and fundamental analysis to ensure robustness and effectiveness.
Flying Dragon Trend StrategyFlying Dragon Trend Strategy can be used to indicate the trend on all timeframes by finetuning the input settings.
The Flying Dragon Trend family includes both the strategy and the indicator, where the strategy supports of selecting the optimal set of inputs for the indicator in each scenario. Highly recommended to get familiar with the strategy first to get the best out of the indicator.
Flying Dragon Trend plots the trend bands into the ribbon, where the colours indicate the trend of each band. The plotting of the bands can be turned off in the input settings. Based on the user selectable Risk Level the strategy is executed when the price crosses the certain moving average line, or at the Lowest risk level all the bands have the same colour.
The main idea is to combine two different moving averages to cross each other at the possible trend pivot point, but trying to avoid any short term bounces to affect the trend indication. The ingenuity resides in the combination of selected moving average types, lengths and especially the offsets. The trend bands give visual hint for the user while observing the price interaction with the bands, one could say that when "the Dragon swallows the candles the jaws wide open", then there is high possibility for the pivot. The leading moving average should be fast while the lagging moving average should be, well, lagging behind the leading one. There is Offset selections for each moving average, three for leading one and one for the lagging one, those are where the magic happens. After user has selected preferred moving average types and lengths, by tuning each offset the optimal sweet spot for each timeframe and equity will be found. The default values are good enough starting points for longer (4h and up) timeframes, but shorter timeframes (minutes to hours) require different combination of settings, some hints are provided in tooltips. Basically the slower the "leading" moving average (like HMA75 or HMA115) and quicker the "lagging" moving average (like SMA12 or SMA5) become, the better performance at the Lowest risk level on minute scales. This "reversed" approach at the minute scales is shown also as reversed colour for the "lagging" moving average trend band, which seems to make it work surprisingly well.
The Flying Dragon Trend does not necessarily work well on zig zag and range bounce scenarios without additional finetuning of the input settings to fit the current condition.

Crypto Breakout Buy/Sell Sequence
⚙️ Components & Sequence Multiple Timeframe (What It Does)
1. Bollinger Bands – Form the foundation by measuring volatility and creating the dynamic range where squeezes and breakouts occur.
2. Squeeze Dots – Show when price compresses inside the bands, signaling reduced volatility before expansion.
3. Breakout Event (Brk Dot) – Fires when price expands beyond the squeeze zone, confirming volatility expansion. (This paints Intra, before candle close)
4. Buy Signal – Confirms entry after a breakout is validated. (This paints at candle close)
5. Pump Signal – Flags sudden surges that extend sharply from the bands, often linked to strong inflows.
6. Momentum Stream – Tracks the strength of movement following the breakout, from continuation (🟢) to slowing (🟡) to exhaustion (🔴). (Resets at Pump Signal)
7. Overbought Indicator – Confirms when momentum has reached overheated conditions, often aligning with band extremes.
8. Sell Signal – Prints when exhaustion/reversal conditions are met, closing the trade cycle.
The Crypto Breakout Buy/Sell Sequence is a no-repaint event indicator that maps a full trade cycle using Bollinger-band-based volatility states: Bollinger Bands → Squeeze → Breakout → Buy → Pump → Momentum → Top Test → Overbought → Sell. Each stage is rule-based and designed to be read on standard candlesticks.
How It Works (System Logic)
Volatility framework: Bollinger Bands define dynamic range and compression/expansion.
Initiation: Squeeze → Breakout confirms expansion; Buy validates participation after expansion begins.
Management: Pump highlights unusual acceleration; Momentum stream tracks continuation → slowing → exhaustion.
Exhaustion/Exit: Top Testing + Overbought build the exhaustion case; Sell marks the sequence end.
How To Use (Quick Guide)
Wait for Squeeze → Breakout → Buy to establish a structured start.
Manage with Momentum:
🟢 continuation, 🟡 slowing, 🔴 exhaustion pressure.
Monitor extremes: Top Testing and/or Overbought = tighten risk.
Exit on Sell or on your risk rules when exhaustion builds.
Limitations & Good Practice
Signals reflect price/volatility behavior, not certainty.
Strong trends can remain extended; Overbought/Top Test ≠ instant reversal.
Always confirm with your own risk rules, position sizing, and market context.
Initial public release: integrated Squeeze/Breakout/Buy → Momentum → Exhaustion → Sell cycle; improved label clarity; cleaned defaults.

Scalping, Swing Pro: Urban Towers + Bollinger(0.5)+ WMA by KidevThis indicator combines narrow Bollinger Bands (σ = 0.5) with a Weighted Moving Average (WMA-96) to provide traders with a reliable framework for identifying both short-term scalps and medium-term swing setups.
Bollinger Bands (0.5σ):
Traditional Bollinger Bands at 2σ cover ~95% of price movement, while 0.5σ bands narrow the focus to ~50% of price activity. This tighter structure makes them ideal for detecting volatility contractions, consolidations, and early breakout signals.
WMA-96 as Trend Reference:
The 96-period WMA acts as a slower, more stable directional guide. Unlike shorter WMAs, this longer setting filters noise and serves as a reference line for the dominant trend. Traders can use it as an anchor for intraday or swing positions.
Scalping & Swing Benefits:
Price holding above the WMA-96 while staying near the upper 0.5σ band often signals strength.
Contractions (squeezes) in the 0.5σ band followed by expansion frequently mark breakout zones.
Pullbacks toward the WMA-96 combined with band signals can act as re-entry or risk-defined trade areas.
This script provides a balanced view of momentum and stability — the 0.5σ bands reveal short-term volatility shifts, while the WMA-96 grounds the trader in the prevailing trend.

Channels by SmanovIndicator Description
“Channels by Smanov” is a multi-channel indicator that plots dynamic support and resistance zones around a moving average line. It is composed of two main parts:
FL 1 (Flexible Channels):
A Simple Moving Average (SMA) serves as the Basis.
Upper and lower bands are calculated by adding and subtracting an ATR-based buffer from the Basis.
User-defined inputs (such as Half Length, ATR Period, and ATR Multiplier) allow for flexibility in adapting the channel width to different market conditions.
FL 2 (Fixed Channels):
Eight additional bands expand on the same SMA + ATR logic but use fixed ATR multipliers (ranging from 2.2 up to 5.0).
These extra lines can help you gauge more distant levels of potential support or resistance.
By combining an SMA (to smooth price data) with ATR (to gauge volatility), this indicator highlights areas where price may be “stretched” relative to recent volatility. Traders often use channel-based indicators to identify potential “overbought” or “oversold” conditions, as well as to spot trend continuations or reversals.
How to Use / Trading Strategy
Trend Identification (Basis Line):
The middle line (the SMA) can be used as a trend filter:
If price consistently stays above the basis, it suggests an uptrend.
If price consistently stays below the basis, it suggests a downtrend.
Reversal Opportunities (Outer Bands):
When price moves into or beyond the upper bands, it may signal overbought conditions, creating potential short (or profit-taking) opportunities.
Conversely, when price dips into or beyond the lower bands, it may signal oversold conditions, which some traders use for initiating or adding to long positions.
Breakout or Continuation Signals:
In a strong trend, price may “ride” along the outer channels.
A clear break above/below a channel that previously acted as resistance/support could hint at trend continuation.
Failure to break these levels could suggest a potential reversal or consolidation phase.
Stop-Loss Placement:
Traders often place stops just outside a relevant band. For example, if you go long on a dip near a lower band, you might place your stop slightly below that band, relying on the ATR-based buffer to reflect normal volatility.
Multiple Timeframe Analysis:
Consider confirming signals on a higher timeframe (e.g., 4-hour or daily) while taking entries on a lower timeframe.
Channels on higher timeframes can act as stronger support or resistance, offering additional confluence.
Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational purposes and does not guarantee specific results. Trading involves risk, and individual traders are responsible for managing their own risk and capital. Always conduct thorough analysis and use appropriate risk management (e.g., stop-losses) when entering any market positions.
Enjoy using Channels by Smanov! Your feedback and personal insights can further refine the indicator’s settings for your preferred trading style. Good luck and trade responsibly!

Rainbow MA- AYNETDescription
What it Does:
The Rainbow Indicator visualizes price action with a colorful "rainbow-like" effect.
It uses a moving average (SMA) and dynamically creates bands around it using standard deviation.
Features:
Seven bands are plotted, each corresponding to a different rainbow color (red to purple).
Each band is calculated using the moving average (ta.sma) and a smoothing multiplier (smooth) to control their spread.
User Inputs:
length: The length of the moving average (default: 14).
smooth: Controls the spacing between the bands (default: 0.5).
radius: Adjusts the size of the circular points (default: 3).
How it Works:
The bands are plotted above and below the moving average.
The offset for each band is calculated using standard deviation and a user-defined smoothing multiplier.
Plotting:
Each rainbow band is plotted individually using plot() with circular points (plot.style_circles).
Customization
You can modify the color palette, adjust the smoothing multiplier, or change the moving average length to suit your needs.
The number of bands can also be increased or decreased by adding/removing colors from the colors array and updating the loop.
If you have further questions or want to extend the indicator, let me know! 😊
Nasan Hull-smoothed envelope The Nasan Hull-Smoothed Envelope indicator is a sophisticated overlay designed to track price movement within an adaptive "envelope." It dynamically adjusts to market volatility and trend strength, using a series of smoothing and volatility-correction techniques. Here's a detailed breakdown of its components, from the input settings to the calculated visual elements:
Inputs
look_back_length (500):
Defines the lookback period for calculating intraday volatility (IDV), smoothing it over time. A higher value means the indicator considers a longer historical range for volatility calculations.
sl (50):
Sets the smoothing length for the Hull Moving Average (HMA). The HMA smooths various lines, creating a balance between sensitivity and stability in trend signals.
mp (1.5):
Multiplier for IDV, scaling the volatility impact on the envelope. A higher multiplier widens the envelope to accommodate higher volatility, while a lower one tightens it.
p (0.625):
Weight factor that determines the balance between extremes (highest high and lowest low) and averages (sma of high and sma of low) in the high/low calculations. A higher p gives more weight to extremes, making the envelope more responsive to abrupt market changes.
Volatility Calculation (IDV)
The Intraday Volatility (IDV) metric represents the average volatility per bar as an exponentially smoothed ratio of the high-low range to the close price. This is calculated over the look_back_length period, providing a base volatility value which is then scaled by mp. The IDV enables the envelope to dynamically widen or narrow with market volatility, making it sensitive to current market conditions.
Composite High and Low Bands
The high and low bands define the upper and lower bounds of the envelope.
High Calculation
a_high:
Uses a multi-period approach to capture the highest highs over several intervals (5, 8, 13, 21, and 34 bars). Averaging these highs provides a more stable reference for the high end of the envelope, capturing both immediate and recent peak values.
b_high:
Computes the average of shorter simple moving averages (5, 8, and 13 bars) of the high prices, smoothing out fluctuations in the recent highs. This generates a balanced view of high price trends.
high_c:
Combines a_high and b_high using the weight p. This blend creates a composite high that balances between recent peaks and smoothed averages, making the upper envelope boundary adaptive to short-term price shifts.
Low Calculation
a_low and b_low:
Similar to the high calculation, these capture extreme lows and smooth low values over the same intervals. This approach creates a stable and adaptive lower bound for the envelope.
low_c:
Combines a_low and b_low using the weight p, resulting in a composite low that adjusts to price fluctuations while maintaining a stable trend line.
Volatility-Adjusted Bands
The final composite high (c_high) and composite low (c_low) bands are adjusted using IDV, which accounts for intraday volatility. When volatility is high, the bands expand; when it’s low, they contract, providing a visual representation of volatility-adjusted price bounds.
Basis Line
The basis line is a Hull Moving Average (HMA) of the average of c_high and c_low. The HMA is known for its smoothness and responsiveness, making the basis line a central trend indicator. The color of the basis line changes:
Green when the basis line is increasing.
Red when the basis line is decreasing.
This color-coded basis line serves as a quick visual reference for trend direction.
Short-Term Trend Strength Block
This component analyzes recent price action to assess short-term bullish and bearish momentum.
Conditions (green, red, green1, red1):
These are binary conditions that categorize price movements as bullish or bearish based on the close compared to the open and the close’s relationship with the exponential moving average (EMA). This separation helps capture different types of strength (above/below EMA) and different bullish or bearish patterns.
Composite Trend Strength Values:
Each of the bullish and bearish counts (above and below the EMA) is normalized, resulting in the following values:
green_EMAup_a and red_EMAup_a for bullish and bearish strength above the EMA.
green_EMAdown_a and red_EMAdown_a for bullish and bearish strength below the EMA.
Trend Strength (t_s):
This calculated metric combines the normalized trend strengths with extra weight to conditions above the EMA, giving more relevance to trends that have momentum behind them.
Enhanced Trend Strength
avg_movement:
Calculates the average absolute price movement over the short_term_length, providing a measurement of recent price activity that scales with volatility.
enhanced_t_s:
Multiplies t_s by avg_movement, creating an enhanced trend strength value that reflects both directional strength and the magnitude of recent price movement.
min and max:
Minimum and maximum percentile thresholds, respectively, based on enhanced_t_s for controlling the color gradient in the fill area.
Fill Area
The fill area between plot_c_high and plot_c_low is color-coded based on the enhanced trend strength (enhanced_t_s):
Gradient color transitions from blue to green based on the strength level, with blue representing weaker trends and green indicating stronger trends.
This visual fill provides an at-a-glance assessment of trend strength across the envelope, with color shifts highlighting momentum shifts.
Summary
The indicator’s purpose is to offer an adaptive price envelope that reflects real-time market volatility and trend strength. Here’s what each component contributes:
Basis Line: A trend-following line in the center that adjusts color based on trend direction.
Envelope (c_high, c_low): Adapts to volatility by expanding and contracting based on IDV, giving traders a responsive view of expected price bounds.
Fill Area: A color-gradient region representing trend strength within the envelope, helping traders easily identify momentum changes.
Overall, this tool helps to identify trend direction, market volatility, and strength of price movements, allowing for more informed decisions based on visual cues around price boundaries and trend momentum.
Filtered Momentum Indicator (FMI)The Filtered Momentum Indicator (FMI) is a tool created to assist traders in identifying changes in momentum and gaining insights into potential shifts in price trends. By combining the concepts of momentum and Bollinger Bands, the FMI offers a unique perspective on momentum values and their relationship to price movements, helping traders make informed trading decisions. The FMI is calculated using two main components:
-- Momentum Calculation : Momentum measures the strength and velocity of price changes. It is calculated by comparing the current price to the price 14 (default) periods ago and expressing it as a percentage.
-- Bollinger Bands Calculation : Bollinger Bands are based on the momentum values and provide a range within which the momentum is expected to fluctuate. The upper and lower bands are determined using a specified period (default of 20) and deviations (default of 2.0).
The FMI consists of two lines : F+ (Filtered Plus) and F- (Filtered Minus). These lines help gauge the strength of bullish and bearish momentum:
-- F+ represents the difference between the upper Bollinger Band and the momentum values. It indicates the strength of bullish momentum. F+ is colored aqua.
-- F- represents the difference between the momentum values and the lower Bollinger Band. It indicates the strength of bearish momentum. F- is colored yellow.
When analyzing the FMI, pay attention to the relationship between F+ and F-:
-- If F- is greater than F+ , it suggests potential bullish momentum, indicating that prices may have room to rise.
-- If F+ is greater than F- , it suggests potential bearish momentum, indicating that prices may have room to decline.
Coloration of the FMI enhances its interpretability - when F- is greater than F+, the indicator color is set to lime (green), signaling potential bullish momentum; when F+ is greater than F-, the indicator color is set to fuchsia (purple), signaling potential bearish momentum.
The FMI can be applied in various ways for trading strategies:
-- Identifying Potential Reversals : Watch for crossovers between the F- and F+ lines, as they may indicate a potential shift in momentum and offer opportunities to enter or exit trades.
-- Confirmation Tool : Combine the FMI with other technical indicators or price patterns to validate potential trend reversals or continuations. By aligning signals from different indicators, you can strengthen your trading decisions.
-- Trade Timing : Consider taking trades in the direction of the dominant FMI color. When the indicator shows strong bullish momentum (F- > F+), consider going long. Conversely, when it shows strong bearish momentum (F+ > F-), consider going short.
It is essential to be aware of the limitations of the FMI:
-- False Signals : The FMI, like any indicator, may generate false signals, especially during low volatility or choppy market conditions. Always use the FMI in conjunction with other analysis techniques for confirmation.
-- Lagging Nature : The FMI relies on historical price data, causing it to lag behind sudden market moves. Keep in mind that the FMI provides insights based on past momentum and may not capture immediate changes in market conditions.
By combining momentum and Bollinger Bands, this indicator provides a unique perspective for making informed trading decisions. Utilize the FMI in conjunction with other analysis techniques, considering its limitations, to enhance your trading strategy and improve decision-making.
Bollinger Band Alert with RSI Filter IndicatorThis code is for a technical analysis indicator called Bollinger Band Alert with RSI Filter. It uses two tools: Bollinger Bands and Relative Strength Index (RSI) to identify potential trading signals in the market.
Bollinger Bands are lines plotted two standard deviations away from a simple moving average of the price of a stock or asset. They help traders determine whether prices are high or low on a relative basis.
The RSI is a momentum indicator that measures the strength of recent price changes to evaluate whether an asset is overbought or oversold.
The code has some input parameters that a user can change, such as length and multiplier, which are used to calculate the Bollinger Bands, and upper and lower RSI levels to define the overbought and oversold zones.
The code then uses if statements to generate alerts if certain conditions are met. The alert condition is triggered if the close price of an asset crosses above or below the upper or lower Bollinger Bands, and if the RSI is either above or below the overbought or oversold threshold levels.
Finally, the code generates plots to visualize the Bollinger Bands and displays triangles above or below the bars indicating when to enter a long or short position based on the strategy's criteria.
Double RSI + BBRSI stands for Relative Strength Index.
Bollinger Bands stands for a channel open by standard deviation values plotting upper, lower lines.
Double RSI with Bollinger bands adapted Bollinger bands to RSI not using overlay mode. It tries to filter fake signals while giving more good signals according to volatility even below overbought areas or above oversold areas. This way you can use greater values for RSI, like 25 and 100, increasing smoothness with less market noise.
We added an extra gap spacer to smooth Bollinger bands while widening the channel with a lower multiplier.
I found better results when Fast RSI crosses back into Bollinger bands channel.
You can play with the following settings:
• Source
Close is the most used
• Fast RSI length
Default to 25
• Slow RSI length
Default to 100
• RSI Smoothing
To filter out some graphic noise
• RSI Overbought, Oversold
Regular overbought, oversold lines handled by a single value. For 70/30, set it to 20 although with longer RSI something around 15 is enough.
• Bollinger Spacer
Ads thickness to the channel with lower multiplier
• Bollinger Length
Regular Bollinger length applied to slow RSI
• Bollinger Multiplier
Regular Bollinger multiplier applied to slow RSI

Ultimate IndicatorThis is a combination of all the price chart indicators I frequently switch between. It contains my day time highlighter (for day trading), multi-timeframe long-term trend indicator for current commodity in the bottom right, customizable trend EMA which also has multi-timeframe drawing capabilities, VWAP, customizable indicators with separate settings from the trend indicator including: EMA, HL2 over time, Donchian Channels, Keltner Channels, Bollinger Bands, and Super Trend. The settings for these are right below the trend settings and can have their length and multiplier adjusted. All of those also have multi-timeframe capabilities separate from the trend multi-time settings.
The Day Trade Highlight option will draw faint yellow between 9:15-9:25, red between 9:25-9:45, yellow between 9:45-10:05. There will be one white background at 9:30am to show the opening of the market. while the market is open there will be a very faint blue background. For the end of the day there will be yellow between 15:45-15:50, red between 15:50-16:00, and yellow between 16:00-16:05. During the night hours, there is no coloring. The purpose of this highlight is to show the opening / closing times of the market and the hot times for large moves.
The indicators can also be colored in the following ways:
1. Simple = Makes all colors for the indicator Gray
2. Trend = Will use the Donchian Channels to get the short-trend direction and by default will color the short-term direction as Blue or Red. Unless using Super Trend, the Donchian Channel is used to find short-term trend direction.
3. Trend Adv = Will use the Donchian Channels to get the short-trend direction and by default will color the short-term direction as Blue or Red. Unless using Super Trend, the Donchian Channel is used to find short-term trend direction. If there is a short-term up-trend during a long-term down-trend, the Blue will become Navy. If short-term down-trend during long-term up-trend, the Red will be Brown.
4. Squeeze = Compares the Bollinger Bands width to the Keltner Channels width and will color based on relative squeeze of the market: Teal = no squeeze. Yellow = little squeeze. Red = decent squeeze. White = huge squeeze. if you do not understand this one, try drawing the Bollinger Bands while using the Squeeze color option and it should become more apparent how this works. I also recommend leaving the length and multiplier to the default 20 and 2 if using this setting and only changing the timeframe to get longer/shorter lengths as I've seen that changing the length or multiplier can more or less make it not work at all.
Along with the indicator settings are options to draw lines/labels/fills for the indicator. I enjoy having only fills for a cleaner look.
The Labels option will show Buy/Sell signals when the short-term trend flips to agree with the long-term trend.
The Trend Bars option will do the same as the Labels option but instead will color the bars white when a Buy/Sell option is given.
The Range Bars option shows will color a bar white when the Close of a candle is outside of a respective ranging indicator option (Bollinger or Keltner).
The Trend Bars will draw white candles no matter which indicator selection you make (even "Off"). However, Range Bars will only draw white when either Bollinger or Keltner are selected.
The Donchian Channels and Super Trend are trending indicators and should be used during trending markets. I like to use the MACD in conjunction with these indicators for possibly earlier entries.
The Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channel are ranging indicators and should be used during ranging markets. I like to use the RSI in conjunction with these indicators and will use 60/40 for overbought and oversold areas rather than 70/30. During a range, I wait for an overbought or oversold indication and will buy/sell when it crosses back into the middle area and close my position when it touches the opposite band.
I have a MACD/RSI combination indicator if you'd like that as well :D
As always, trade at your own risk. This is not some secret indicator that will 100% win. As always, the trades you see in the picture use a 1:1.5 or 1:2 risk to reward ratio, for today (August 8, 2022) it won 5/6 times with one trade still open at the end of the day. Manage your account correctly and you'll win in the long term. Hit me up with any questions or suggestions. Happy Trading!
Bollinger CloudsThis indicator plots Bollinger Bands for your current timeframe (e.g 5 minutes) and also plots the Bollinger Bands for a higher timeframe (15 minutes for 5 minute timeframe). Then the gaps between the current and higher timeframe upper and lower bands is filled to create clouds which can be used as entry zones. Like Bollinger Bands, this indicator shouldn't be solely used for entries, use it in conjunction with other indicators.

The Kyber Cell's – TTM Squeeze ProThe Kyber Cell’s TTM Squeeze Pro
TTM Squeeze + ALMA + VWAP for Precision Trade Timing
⸻
1. Introduction
Kyber Cell’s Squeeze Pro is a comprehensive, all-in-one overlay indicator built on top of John Carter’s famous TTM Squeeze concept. It integrates advanced momentum and trend analysis using Arnaud Legoux Moving Averages (ALMA), a scroll-aware VWAP with optional deviation bands, and a clean, user-friendly visual system. The goal is simple: give traders a clear and configurable chart that identifies price compression, detects release moments, confirms direction, and helps manage risk and reward visually and effectively.
This tool is intended for traders of all styles — scalpers, swing traders, or intraday strategists — looking for cleaner signals, better visual cues, and more confidence in entry/exit timing.
⸻
2. Core Concepts
At its heart, the Squeeze Pro builds an in-chart visualization of the TTM Squeeze, a strategy that identifies when price volatility compresses inside a Bollinger Band that is narrower than a Keltner Channel. These moments often precede explosive breakouts. This version categorizes squeezes into three levels of compression:
• Blue Dot – Low Compression
• Orange Dot – Medium Compression
• Red Dot – High Compression
When the squeeze “fires” (i.e., the Bollinger Bands expand beyond all Keltner thresholds), the indicator flips to a Green Dot, signaling potential entry if confirmed by trend direction.
The indicator also includes a momentum model using linear regression on smoothed price deviation to determine directional bias. Momentum is further reinforced by a customizable trend engine, allowing you to switch between EMA-21 or HMA 34/144 logic.
An ALMA ribbon is plotted across the chart to represent smoothed trend strength with minimal lag, and a scroll-aware VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) line, optionally with ±σ bands, helps confirm mean-reversion or momentum continuation setups.
⸻
3. Visual Components
Squeeze Pro replaces the traditional histogram with bar coloring logic based on your selected overlay mode:
• Momentum Mode colors bars based on whether momentum is rising or falling and in which direction (aqua/blue for bullish, red/yellow for bearish).
• Trend Mode colors bars using EMA or HMA logic to identify whether price is in a bullish, bearish, or neutral trend state.
A colored backdrop is triggered when a squeeze fires and momentum direction is confirmed. It remains green for bullish runs and red for bearish runs. The background disappears when the trend exhausts or reverses.
Each squeeze level (low, medium, high) is plotted as tiny dots above or below candles, with configurable colors. On the exact bar where the squeeze fires, the indicator optionally plots entry markers — either arrows or triangles — which can be placed with adjustable padding using ATR. These provide an at-a-glance signal of possible long or short entries.
EXPERIMENTAL : For risk and reward management, protective stop lines and limit targets can be toggled on. Stops are calculated using either recent swing highs/lows or a fixed ATR multiple, depending on user preference. Limit targets are calculated from entry price using ATR-based projections.
All colors are customizable.
⸻
4. Multi-Timeframe Squeeze Panel
An optional MTF Squeeze Panel appears in the top-right corner of the chart, displaying the squeeze status across multiple timeframes — from 1-minute to Monthly. Each timeframe is color-coded:
• Red for High Compression
• Orange for Medium Compression
• Blue for Low Compression
• Yellow for Open/No Compression
This provides rapid context for whether multiple timeframes are simultaneously compressing (a common precursor to explosive moves), helping traders align higher- and lower-timeframe signals. Colors are customizable.
The MTF panel dynamically adjusts to chart space and only renders the selected intervals for clarity and performance.
⸻
5. Inputs and Configuration Options
Squeeze Pro offers a rich configuration suite:
• Squeeze Settings: Control the Bollinger Band standard deviation, and three separate Keltner Channel multipliers (for low, medium, and high compression zones).
• ALMA Controls: Adjust the smoothing length, offset, and σ factor to control ribbon sensitivity.
• VWAP Options: Toggle VWAP on/off and optionally show ±σ bands for mean reversion signals.
• Entry Markers: Customize marker shape (arrow or triangle), size (tiny to huge), color, and padding using ATR multipliers.
• Stops and Targets:
• Choose between Swing High/Low or ATR-based stop logic.
• Define separate ATR lengths and multipliers for stops and targets.
• Independently toggle their visibility and color.
• Bar Coloring Mode: Select either Momentum or Trend logic for bar overlays.
• Trend Engine: Choose between EMA-21 or HMA 34/144 for identifying trend direction.
• Squeeze Dot Colors: Customize the colors for each compression level and release state.
• MTF Panel: Toggle visibility per timeframe — from 1m to Monthly.
This high degree of customization ensures that the indicator can adapt to nearly any trading style or preference.
⸻
6. Trade Workflow Suggestions
To get the most out of this tool, traders can follow a consistent workflow:
1. Watch Dot Progression: Blue → Orange → Red indicates increasing compression and likelihood of breakout.
2. Enter on Green Dot: When the squeeze fires (green dot), confirm entry direction with bar color and backdrop.
3. Use Confirmation Tools:
• ALMA should slope in the trade direction.
• VWAP should support the price move or confirm expansion away from mean.
4. Manage Risk and Reward (experimental):
• Respect stop-loss placements (Swing/ATR).
• Use ATR-based limit targets if enabled.
5. Exit:
• Consider exiting when momentum crosses zero.
• Or exit when the background color disappears, signaling potential trend exhaustion.
⸻
7. Alerts
Includes built-in alert conditions to notify you when a squeeze fires in either direction:
• “Squeeze Long”: Triggers when a green dot appears and momentum is bullish.
• “Squeeze Short”: Triggers when a green dot appears and momentum is bearish.
You can use these alerts for automation or to stay notified of new setups even when away from the screen.
⸻
8. Disclaimer
This indicator is designed for educational purposes only and should not be interpreted as financial advice. Trading is inherently risky, and any decisions based on this tool should be made with full awareness of personal risk tolerance and capital exposure.
Squeeze & Breakout Confirmation StrategyThis strategy focuses on identifying periods of low volatility (Bollinger Band Squeeze) and then confirming the direction of the subsequent breakout with momentum, volume, and candle strength.
Concepts Applied: Bollinger Bands (Squeeze), RSI (Momentum), Market Volume (Conviction), Candle Size (Strength)
Buy Signal:
Bollinger Band Squeeze: Look for a period where the Bollinger Bands contract significantly, indicating low volatility and consolidation. The bands should be very close to the price action.
RSI Breakout: After the squeeze, wait for the price to break decisively above the upper Bollinger Band. Simultaneously, the RSI should break above 60 (or even 70), indicating strong bullish momentum.
Volume Surge: The breakout candle should be accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume, ideally above its recent average, confirming strong buying interest.
Strong Bullish Candle: The breakout candle itself should be a large, bullish candle (e.g., a strong green candle with a small upper wick or a bullish engulfing pattern), demonstrating buyer conviction.
Sell Signal (Short):
Bollinger Band Squeeze: Look for a period where the Bollinger Bands contract significantly.
RSI Breakdown: After the squeeze, wait for the price to break decisively below the lower Bollinger Band. Simultaneously, the RSI should break below 40 (or even 30), indicating strong bearish momentum.
Volume Surge: The breakdown candle should be accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume, ideally above its recent average, confirming strong selling interest.
Strong Bearish Candle: The breakdown candle itself should be a large, bearish candle (e.g., a strong red candle with a small lower wick or a bearish engulfing pattern), demonstrating seller conviction.
ka66: Triple Keltner Around SourceThis is an indicator-on-indicator which draws Keltner Bands (ATR Bands) around any selected Basis Source, instead of hardcoding a moving average, etc. This allows you to put bands around any sort of esoteric moving average of your choice, or even just around price data like OHLC, HLC3, and so on.
It's an enhancement on my prior Multi ATR Channels script at
Written in Pine v6 and allowing custom timeframe selection.
For example, the published chart shows the bands place around a Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA), plotted in blue dots.
You would use it for anything that you would use plain Keltners for:
Mean Reversion
Breakouts
Take Profit and Stop Loss Estimation
But with any basis that you deem more suitable for your purposes.
Smart Fib StrategySmart Fibonacci Strategy
This advanced trading strategy combines the power of adaptive SMA entries with Fibonacci-based exit levels to create a comprehensive trend-following system that self-optimizes based on historical market conditions. Credit goes to Julien_Eche who created the "Best SMA Finder" which received an Editors Pick award.
Strategy Overview
The Smart Fibonacci Strategy employs a two-pronged approach to trading:
1. Intelligent Entries: Uses a self-optimizing SMA (Simple Moving Average) to identify optimal entry points. The system automatically tests multiple SMA lengths against historical data to determine which period provides the most robust trading signals.
2. Fibonacci-Based Exits: Implements ATR-adjusted Fibonacci bands to establish precise exit targets, with risk-management options ranging from conservative to aggressive.
This dual methodology creates a balanced system that adapts to changing market conditions while providing clear visual reference points for trade management.
Key Features
- **Self-Optimizing Entries**: Automatically calculates the most profitable SMA length based on historical performance
- **Adjustable Risk Parameters**: Choose between low-risk and high-risk exit targets
- **Directional Flexibility**: Trade long-only, short-only, or both directions
- **Visualization Tools**: Customizable display of entry lines and exit bands
- **Performance Statistics**: Comprehensive stats table showing key metrics
- **Smoothing Option**: Reduces noise in the Fibonacci bands for cleaner signals
Trading Rules
Entry Signals
- **Long Entry**: When price crosses above the blue center line (optimal SMA)
- **Short Entry**: When price crosses below the blue center line (optimal SMA)
### Exit Levels
- **Low Risk Option**: Exit at the first Fibonacci band (1.618 * ATR)
- **High Risk Option**: Exit at the second Fibonacci band (2.618 * ATR)
Strategy Parameters
Display Settings
- Toggle visibility of the stats table and indicator components
Strategy Settings
- Select trading direction (long, short, or both)
- Choose exit method (low risk or high risk)
- Set minimum trades threshold for SMA optimization
SMA Settings
- Option to use auto-optimized or fixed-length SMA
- Customize SMA length when using fixed option
Fibonacci Settings
- Adjust ATR period and SMA basis for Fibonacci bands
- Enable/disable smoothing function
- Customize Fibonacci ratio multipliers
Appearance Settings
- Modify colors, line widths, and transparency
Optimization Methodology
The strategy employs a sophisticated optimization algorithm that:
1. Tests multiple SMA lengths against historical data
2. Evaluates performance based on trade count, profit factor, and win rate
3. Calculates a "robustness score" that balances profitability with statistical significance
4. Selects the SMA length with the highest robustness score
This ensures that the strategy's entry signals are continuously adapting to the most effective parameters for current market conditions.
Risk Management
Position sizing is fixed at $2,000 per trade, allowing for consistent exposure across all trading setups. The Fibonacci-based exit system provides two distinct risk management approaches:
- **Conservative Approach**: Using the first Fibonacci band for exits produces more frequent but smaller wins
- **Aggressive Approach**: Using the second Fibonacci band allows for larger potential gains at the cost of increased volatility
Ideal Usage
This strategy is best suited for:
- Trending markets with clear directional moves
- Timeframes from 4H to Daily for most balanced results
- Instruments with moderate volatility (stocks, forex, commodities)
Traders can further enhance performance by combining this strategy with broader market analysis to confirm the prevailing trend direction.
Volumetric Entropy IndexVolumetric Entropy Index (VEI)
A volume-based drift analyzer that captures directional pressure, trend agreement, and entropy structure using smoothed volume flows.
---
🧠 What It Does:
• Volume Drift EMAs : Shows buy/sell pressure momentum with adaptive smoothing.
• Dynamic Bands : Bollinger-style volatility wrappers react to expanding/contracting drift.
• Baseline Envelope : Clean structural white rails for mean-reversion zones or trend momentum.
• Background Shading : Highlights when both sides (up & down drift) are in agreement — green for bullish, red for bearish.
• Alerts Included : Drift alignment, crossover events, net drift shifts, and strength spikes.
---
🔍 What Makes It Different:
• Most volume indicators rely on bars, oscillators, or OBV-style accumulation — this doesn’t.
• It compares directional EMAs of raw volume to isolate real-time bias and acceleration.
• It visualizes the twisting tension between volume forces — not just price reaction.
• Designed to show when volatility is building inside the volume mechanics before price follows.
• Modular — every element is optional, so you can run it lean or fully loaded.
---
📊 How to Use It:
• Drift EMAs : Watch for one side consistently dominating — sharp spikes often precede breakouts.
• Bands : When they tighten and start expanding, it often signals directional momentum forming.
• Envelope Lines : Use as high-probability reversal or continuation zones. Bands crossing envelopes = potential thrust.
• Background Color : Green/red backgrounds confirm volume agreement. Can be used as a filter for other signals.
• Net Drift : Optional smoothed oscillator showing the difference between bullish and bearish volume pressure. Crosses above or below zero signal directional bias shifts.
• Drift Strength : Measures pressure buildup — spikes often correlate with large moves.
---
⚙️ Full Customization:
• Turn every layer on/off independently
• Modify all colors, transparencies, and line widths
• Adjust band width multiplier and envelope offset (%)
• Toggle bonus plots like drift strength and net baseline
---
🧪 Experimental Tools:
• Smoothed Net Drift trace
• Drift Strength signal
• Envelope lines and dynamic entropy bands with adjustable math

External Signals Strategy Tester v5External Signals Strategy Tester v5 – User Guide (English)
1. Purpose
This Pine Script strategy is a universal back‑tester that lets you plug in any external buy/sell series (for example, another indicator, webhook feed, or higher‑time‑frame condition) and evaluate a rich set of money‑management rules around it – with a single click on/off workflow for every module.
2. Core Workflow
Feed signals
Buy Signal / Sell Signal inputs accept any series (price, boolean, output of request.security(), etc.).
A crossover above 0 is treated as “signal fired”.
Date filter
Start Date / End Date restricts the test window so you can exclude unwanted history.
Trade engine
Optional Long / Short enable toggles.
Choose whether opposite signals simply close the trade or reverse it (flip direction in one transaction).
Risk modules – all opt‑in via check‑boxes
Classic % block – fixed % Take‑Profit / Stop‑Loss / Break‑Even.
Fibonacci Bollinger Bands (FBB) module
Draws dynamic VWMA/HMA/SMA/EMA/DEMA/TEMA mid‑line with ATR‑scaled Fibonacci envelopes.
Every line can be used for stops, trailing, or multi‑target exits.
Separate LONG and SHORT sub‑modules
Each has its own SL plus three Take‑Profits (TP1‑TP3).
Per TP you set line, position‑percentage to close, and an optional trailing flag.
Executed TP/SLs deactivate themselves so they cannot refire.
Trailing behaviour
If Trail is checked, the selected line is re‑evaluated once per bar; the order is amended via strategy.exit().
3. Inputs Overview
Group Parameter Notes
Trade Settings Enable Long / Enable Short Master switches
Close on Opposite / Reverse Position How to react to a counter‑signal
Risk % Use TP / SL / BE + their % Traditional fixed‑distance management
Fibo Bands FIBO LEVELS ENABLE + visual style/length Turn indicator overlay on/off
FBB LONG SL / TP1‑TP3 Enable, Line, %, Trail Rules applied only while a long is open
FBB SHORT SL / TP1‑TP3 Enable, Line, %, Trail Rules applied only while a short is open
Line choices: Basis, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.764, 1.0 – long rules use lower bands, short rules use upper bands automatically.
4. Algorithm Details
Position open
On the very first bar after entry, the script checks the direction and activates the corresponding LONG or SHORT module, deactivating the other.
Order management loop (every bar)
FBB Stop‑Loss: placed/updated at chosen band; if trailing, follows the new value.
TP1‑TP3: each active target updates its limit price to the selected band (or holds static if trailing is off).
The classic % block runs in parallel; its exits have priority because they call strategy.close_all().
Exit handling
When any strategy.exit() fires, the script reads exit_id and flips the *_Active flag so that order will not be recreated.
A Stop‑Loss (SL) also disables all remaining TPs for that leg.
5. Typical Use Cases
Scenario Suggested Setup
Scalping longs into VWAP‐reversion Enable LONG TP1 @ 0.382 (30 %), TP2 @ 0.618 (40 %), SL @ 0.236 + trailing
Fade shorts during news spikes Enable SHORT SL @ 1.0 (no trail) and SHORT TP1,2,3 on consecutive lowers with small size‑outs
Classic trend‑follow Use only classic % TP/SL block and disable FBB modules
6. Hints & Tips
Signal quality matters – this script manages exits, it does not generate entries.
Keep TV time zone in mind when picking start/end dates.
For portfolio‑style testing allocate smaller default_qty_value than 100 % or use strategy.percent_of_equity sizing.
You can combine FBB exits with fixed‑% ones for layered management.
7. Limitations / Safety
No pyramiding; the script holds max one position at a time.
All calculations are bar‑close; intra‑bar touches may differ from real‑time execution.
The indicator overlay is optional, so you can run visual‑clean tests by unchecking FIBO LEVELS ENABLE.
Multi-Anchored Linear Regression Channels [TANHEF]█ Overview:
The 'Multi-Anchored Linear Regression Channels ' plots multiple dynamic regression channels (or bands) with unique selectable calculation types for both regression and deviation. It leverages a variety of techniques, customizable anchor sources to determine regression lengths, and user-defined criteria to highlight potential opportunities.
Before getting started, it's worth exploring all sections, but make sure to review the Setup & Configuration section in particular. It covers key parameters like anchor type, regression length, bias, and signal criteria—essential for aligning the tool with your trading strategy.
█ Key Features:
⯁ Multi-Regression Capability:
Plot up to three distinct regression channels and/or bands simultaneously, each with customizable anchor types to define their length.
⯁ Regression & Deviation Methods:
Regressions Types:
Standard: Uses ordinary least squares to compute a simple linear trend by averaging the data and deriving a slope and endpoints over the lookback period.
Ridge: Introduces L2 regularization to stabilize the slope by penalizing large coefficients, which helps mitigate multicollinearity in the data.
Lasso: Uses L1 regularization through soft-thresholding to shrink less important coefficients, yielding a simpler model that highlights key trends.
Elastic Net: Combines L1 and L2 penalties to balance coefficient shrinkage and selection, producing a robust weighted slope that handles redundant predictors.
Huber: Implements the Huber loss with iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) and EMA-style weights to reduce the impact of outliers while estimating the slope.
Least Absolute Deviations (LAD): Reduces absolute errors using iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS), yielding a slope less sensitive to outliers than squared-error methods.
Bayesian Linear: Merges prior beliefs with weighted data through Bayesian updating, balancing the prior slope with data evidence to derive a probabilistic trend.
Deviation Types:
Regressive Linear (Reverse): In reverse order (recent to oldest), compute weighted squared differences between the data and a line defined by a starting value and slope.
Progressive Linear (Forward): In forward order (oldest to recent), compute weighted squared differences between the data and a line defined by a starting value and slope.
Balanced Linear: In forward order (oldest to newest), compute regression, then pair to source data in reverse order (newest to oldest) to compute weighted squared differences.
Mean Absolute: Compute weighted absolute differences between each data point and its regression line value, then aggregate them to yield an average deviation.
Median Absolute: Determine the weighted median of the absolute differences between each data point and its regression line value to capture the central tendency of deviations.
Percent: Compute deviation as a percentage of a base value by multiplying that base by the specified percentage, yielding symmetric positive and negative deviations.
Fitted: Compare a regression line with high and low series values by computing weighted differences to determine the maximum upward and downward deviations.
Average True Range: Iteratively compute the weighted average of absolute differences between the data and its regression line to yield an ATR-style deviation measure.
Bias:
Bias: Applies EMA or inverse-EMA style weighting to both Regression and/or Deviation, emphasizing either recent or older data.
⯁ Customizable Regression Length via Anchors:
Anchor Types:
Fixed: Length.
Bar-Based: Bar Highest/Lowest, Volume Highest/Lowest, Spread Highest/Lowest.
Correlation: R Zero, R Highest, R Lowest, R Absolute.
Slope: Slope Zero, Slope Highest, Slope Lowest, Slope Absolute.
Indicator-Based: Indicators Highest/Lowest (ADX, ATR, BBW, CCI, MACD, RSI, Stoch).
Time-Based: Time (Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year, Decade, Custom).
Session-Based: Session (Tokyo, London, New York, Sydney, Custom).
Event-Based: Earnings, Dividends, Splits.
External: Input Source Highest/Lowest.
Length Selection:
Maximum: The highest allowed regression length (also fixed value of “Length” anchor).
Minimum: The shortest allowed length, ensuring enough bars for a valid regression.
Step: The sampling interval (e.g., 1 checks every bar, 2 checks every other bar, etc.). Increasing the step reduces the loading time, most applicable to “Slope” and “R” anchors.
Adaptive lookback:
Adaptive Lookback: Enable to display regression regardless of too few historical bars.
⯁ Selecting Bias:
Bias applies separately to regression and deviation.
Positive values emphasize recent data (EMA-style), negative invert, and near-zero maintains balance. (e.g., a length 100, bias +1 gives the newest price ~7× more weight than the oldest).
It's best to apply bias to both (regression and deviation) or just the deviation. Biasing only regression may distort deviation visually, while biasing both keeps their relationship intuitive. Using bias only for deviation scales it without altering regression, offering unique analysis.
⯁ Scale Awareness:
Supports linear and logarithmic price scaling, the regression and deviations adjust accordingly.
⯁ Signal Generation & Alerts:
Customizable entry/exit signals and alerts, detailed in the dedicated section below.
⯁ Visual Enhancements & Real-World Examples:
Optional on-chart table display summarizing regression input criteria (display type, anchor type, source, regression type, regression bias, deviation type, deviation bias, deviation multiplier) and key calculated metrics (regression length, slope, Pearson’s R, percentage position within deviations, etc.) for quick reference.
█ Understanding R (Pearson Correlation Coefficient):
Pearson’s R gauges data alignment to a straight-line trend within the regression length:
Range: R varies between –1 and +1.
R = +1 → Perfect positive correlation (strong uptrend).
R = 0 → No linear relationship detected.
R = –1 → Perfect negative correlation (strong downtrend).
This script uses Pearson’s R as an anchor, adjusting regression length to target specific R traits. Strong R (±1) follows the regression channel, while weak R (0) shows inconsistency.
█ Understanding the Slope:
The slope is the direction and rate at which the regression line rises or falls per bar:
Positive Slope (>0): Uptrend – Steeper means faster increase.
Negative Slope (<0): Downtrend – Steeper means sharper drop.
Zero or Near-Zero Slope: Sideways – Indicating range-bound conditions.
This script uses highest and lowest slope as an anchor, where extremes highlight strong moves and trend lines, while values near zero indicate sideways action and possible support/resistance.
█ Setup & Configuration:
Whether you’re new to this script or want to quickly adjust all critical parameters, the panel below shows the main settings available. You can customize everything from the anchor type and maximum length to the bias, signal conditions, and more.
Scale (select Log Scale for logarithmic, otherwise linear scale).
Display (regression channel and/or bands).
Anchor (how regression length is determined).
Length (control bars analyzed):
• Max – Upper limit.
• Min – Prevents regression from becoming too short.
• Step – Controls scanning precision; increasing Step reduces load time.
Regression:
• Type – Calculation method.
• Bias – EMA-style emphasis (>0=new bars weighted more; <0=old bars weighted more).
Deviation:
• Type – Calculation method.
• Bias – EMA-style emphasis (>0=new bars weighted more; <0=old bars weighted more).
• Multiplier - Adjusts Upper and Lower Deviation.
Signal Criteria:
• % (Price vs Deviation) – (0% = lower deviation, 50% = regression, 100% = upper deviation).
• R – (0 = no correlation, ±1 = perfect correlation; >0 = +slope, <0 = -slope).
Table (analyze table of input settings, calculated results, and signal criteria).
Adaptive Lookback (display regression while too few historical bars).
Multiple Regressions (steps 2 to 7 apply to #1, #2, and #3 regressions).
█ Signal Generation & Alerts:
The script offers customizable entry and exit signals with flexible criteria and visual cues (background color, dots, or triangles). Alerts can also be triggered for these opportunities.
Percent Direction Criteria:
(0% = lower deviation, 50% = regression line, 100% = upper deviation)
Above %: Triggers if price is above a specified percent of the deviation channel.
Below %: Triggers if price is below a specified percent of the deviation channel.
(Blank): Ignores the percent‐based condition.
Pearson's R (Correlation) Direction Criteria:
(0 = no correlation, ±1 = perfect correlation; >0 = positive slope, <0 = negative slope)
Above R / Below R: Compares the correlation to a threshold.
Above│R│ / Below│R│: Uses absolute correlation to focus on strength, ignoring direction.
Zero to R: Checks if R is in the 0-to-threshold range.
(Blank): Ignores correlation-based conditions.
█ User Tips & Best Practices:
Choose an anchor type that suits your strategy, “Bar Highest/Lowest” automatically spots commonly used regression zones, while “│R│ Highest” targets strong linear trends.
Consider enabling or disabling the Adaptive Lookback feature to ensure you always have a plotted regression if your chart doesn’t meet the maximum-length requirement.
Use a small Step size (1) unless relying on R-correlation or slope-based anchors as the are time-consuming to calculate. Larger steps speed up calculations but reduce precision.
Fine-tune settings such as lookback periods, regression bias, and deviation multipliers, or trend strength. Small adjustments can significantly affect how channels and signals behave.
To reduce loading time , show only channels (not bands) and disable signals, this limits calculations to the last bar and supports more extreme criteria.
Use the table display to monitor anchor type, calculated length, slope, R value, and percent location at a glance—especially if you have multiple regressions visible simultaneously.
█ Conclusion:
With its blend of advanced regression techniques, flexible deviation options, and a wide range of anchor types, this indicator offers a highly adaptable linear regression channeling system. Whether you're anchoring to time, price extremes, correlation, slope, or external events, the tool can be shaped to fit a variety of strategies. Combined with customizable signals and alerts, it may help highlight areas of confluence and support a more structured approach to identifying potential opportunities.
