Easy Move & Squeeze Alerts1. Overview
The Easy Move & Squeeze Alerts indicator combines two proven techniques to help you anticipate major price swings and spot volatility compressions (long/short squeezes) early on. It offers:
Automated Alerts via TradingView’s alert engine
On-chart Visual Cues for immediate context
Flexible Inputs to fine-tune sensitivity, lookback length, and display options
2. TTM Squeeze (Volatility Compression)
Core Concept: Compares Bollinger Bands (standard deviation channels) with Keltner Channels (ATR-based channels).
Squeeze On: BBs lie completely inside Keltner Channels → volatility is compressed, signaling a potential buildup.
Squeeze Off: BBs break outside Keltner Channels → typically the start of a strong directional move.
Alert: When the squeeze releases, the indicator fires an alert:
💥 Squeeze Release – Volatility incoming!
Chart Label: A small, purple “🔒 Squeeze” label appears above the high of each bar while compression persists, giving you a real-time visual flag.
3. ATR Breakouts (Detecting Large Moves)
Core Concept: Builds a dynamic price channel around an EMA using ATR (Average True Range) multiplied by your chosen factor.
Cross Events:
Price crosses above the upper ATR band → potential bullish breakout.
Price crosses below the lower ATR band → potential bearish breakdown.
Alert Conditions: Separate alert triggers for “🚀 Move Up” and “📉 Move Down” fire the moment the close breaches the ATR-based bounds.
4. Visualization & Usage
Channel Plots:
Bollinger Bands in blue
Keltner Channels in orange
ATR Channels in aqua (optional)
Toggle all channel plots on or off with the showZones input.
Background Highlight: During a squeeze, the chart background lightly tints purple for quick visual confirmation.
Alerts Setup:
Simply click Create Alert in TradingView, select this indicator, and choose the event(s) you want (squeeze release, ATR breakouts).
You can route notifications via email, webhook, SMS, or platform pop-ups.
5. Deployment & Customization
Timeframes: Effective across all timeframes; most popular for day- and swing-trading.
Parameter Tuning:
Increase the len value to smooth channels and focus on only the most significant compressions/moves.
Adjust the ATR or BB multipliers to make alerts more or less sensitive.
With this indicator, you gain a clear, actionable framework for spotting both volatility squeezes and breakouts before they unfold—empowering you to enter trades ahead of the crowd. Enjoy customizing and putting it to work!

Mariam Ichimoku DashboardPurpose
The Mariam Ichimoku Dashboard is designed to simplify the Ichimoku trading system for both beginners and experienced traders. It provides a complete view of trend direction, strength, momentum, and key signals all in one compact dashboard on your chart. This tool helps traders make faster and more confident decisions without having to interpret every Ichimoku element manually.
How It Works
1. Trend Strength Score
Calculates a score from -5 to +5 based on Ichimoku components.
A high positive score means strong bullish momentum.
A low negative score shows strong bearish conditions.
A near-zero score indicates a sideways or unclear market.
2. Future Cloud Bias
Looks 26 candles ahead to determine if the future cloud is bullish or bearish.
This helps identify the longer-term directional bias of the market.
3. Flat Kijun / Flat Senkou B
Detects flat zones in the Kijun or Senkou B lines.
These flat areas act as strong support or resistance and can attract price.
4. TK Cross
Identifies Tenkan-Kijun crosses:
Bullish Cross means Tenkan crosses above Kijun
Bearish Cross means Tenkan crosses below Kijun
5. Last TK Cross Info
Shows whether the last TK cross was bullish or bearish and how many candles ago it happened.
Helps track trend development and timing.
6. Chikou Span Position
Checks if the Chikou Span is above, below, or inside past price.
Above means bullish momentum
Below means bearish momentum
Inside means mixed or indecisive
7. Near-Term Forecast (Breakout)
Warns when price is near the edge of the cloud, preparing for a potential breakout.
Useful for anticipating price moves.
8. Price Breakout
Shows if price has recently broken above or below the cloud.
This can confirm the start of a new trend.
9. Future Kumo Twist
Detects upcoming twists in the cloud, which often signal potential trend reversals.
10. Ichimoku Confluence
Measures how many key Ichimoku signals are in agreement.
The more signals align, the stronger the trend confirmation.
11. Price in or Near the Cloud
Displays if the price is inside the cloud, which often indicates low clarity or a choppy market.
12. Cloud Thickness
Shows whether the cloud is thin or thick.
Thick clouds provide stronger support or resistance.
Thin clouds may allow easier breakouts.
13. Recommendation
Gives a simple trading suggestion based on all major signals.
Strong Buy, Strong Sell, or Hold.
Helps simplify decision-making at a glance.
Features
All major Ichimoku signals summarized in one panel
Real-time trend strength scoring
Detects flat zones, crosses, cloud twists, and breakouts
Visual alerts for trend alignment and signal confluence
Compact, clean design
Built with simplicity in mind for beginner traders
Tips
Best used on 15-minute to 1-hour charts for short-term trading
Avoid entering trades when price is inside the cloud because the market is often indecisive
Wait for alignment between trend score, TK cross, cloud bias, and confluence
Use the dashboard to support your trading strategy, not replace it
Enable alerts for major confluence or upcoming Kumo twists
Shooting Star ORB🧠 Indicator Name: "First Candle Shooting Star + ORB"
📌 Purpose
This indicator detects when the first candle of the day forms a Shooting Star pattern and then monitors for a breakout beyond its range. It visually marks the pattern and the breakout with boxes and provides real-time alerts and a status table.
🔍 What It Does Step-by-Step
1. 📅 Detects the Start of a New Trading Day
Uses ta.change(time("D")) to identify a new trading day.
When a new day starts, it checks if the very first candle of the session is a Shooting Star.
2. 🕯️ Identifies a Shooting Star Pattern
A candle is labeled a Shooting Star if:
It has a small body compared to the full candle range.
It has a long upper shadow at least 2× the body.
It has a short or tiny lower shadow.
All these criteria are adjustable through inputs.
3. 📦 Draws a Box for the First Candle Range
If a Shooting Star is found in the first candle of the day:
It draws a red shaded box covering the high and low of that candle.
The box visually marks the potential Opening Range.
4. 💥 Detects Breakout from Shooting Star Candle
After the first candle:
If price moves above or below the range by a specified % (like 1%), it flags a breakout.
A blue shaded box is drawn at the breakout candle for visual confirmation.
5. 🔔 Alerts
🔴 Shooting Star Detected: Alerts when the first candle is a shooting star.
🔵 Breakout Detected: Alerts when the price breaks out of the first candle’s range.
6. 📊 Displays Real-Time Info Table
A small table is shown on the chart:
🕯️ Pattern: “Shooting Star” or blank
💥 Breakout: “Yes” or “No”
⏱️ The timeframe being analyzed (e.g., “5” for 5-minute)
X OROverview
Designed to plot hourly opening ranges (ORs) on an intraday chart. It primarily serves as a trading tool for assessing market direction and potential trading opportunities by analyzing price action relative to key OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) levels within each hourly range.
The code provided is for each hour sessions from 2:00 AM to 3:00 PM for a complete session-based framework. In addition there is the RTH open range
Purpose
The core purpose of this indicator is to:
✅ Define each hourly range (based on the session’s opening bar) by recording the high and low of that range.
✅ Extend this range into the following bars for visual reference — serving as dynamic support and resistance zones.
✅ Monitor price action relative to each hourly OR, helping traders evaluate market direction and structure trades using concepts like:
Breakouts above/below the OR high/low.
Rejections or consolidations within the OR.
Continuation or reversal signals tied to each OR.
Key Features
The script marks the first bar of the session as the OR session start.
During this bar, it initializes:
Opening price
Session high
Session low
These levels form the initial range.
🔹 Dynamic Range Tracking
Throughout the one-minute OR session:
The highest and lowest prices are updated in real time, capturing intra-hour volatility.
A visual background box is drawn to highlight the OR range on the chart.
🔹 Range Extension
The script defines an extended session period after the initial OR (e.g., 2:00 AM-2:45 AM for the 2:00 AM session).
During this extension period:
The box persists on the chart, providing a contextual zone that traders can use as a dynamic support/resistance area.
🔹 Visual Representation
Transparent colored boxes highlight each session’s OR visually on the chart.
These boxes help traders easily identify whether price is trading:
Inside the OR
Breaking above the high (potential bullish continuation)
Breaking below the low (potential bearish continuation)
Application in Trading
🔍 Trading the Opening Range Breakout
Traders often use the OR high and low as breakout triggers. For example:
A price break above the OR high may signal bullish momentum.
A break below the OR low may signal bearish momentum.
⚖️ Support and Resistance
Even if breakouts fail, the OR can act as a pivot zone — offering areas for:
Stop placements
Target levels
Entry confirmations for fade trades or mean reversion strategies.
🕒 Session Awareness
By defining each hour’s OR individually (from 2:00 AM to 3:00 PM), traders can:
Analyze price behavior within each session.
Recognize when liquidity or volatility increases (e.g. around overlapping sessions like London open or New York open).
Summary
This Pine Script indicator provides a powerful framework for visualizing and trading hourly opening ranges. It enhances intraday analysis by:
Structuring price action within hourly boxes.
Highlighting key price levels relative to OHLC concepts.
Helping traders make more informed decisions by assessing price behavior around these critical ranges.
Candle/Keltner Channels BUY SELLWhy Use Candlesticks?
They help traders visualize price action
Used in technical analysis and price pattern recognition (e.g., Doji, Engulfing, Hammer)
Assist in determining entry and exit points
Why Traders Use Keltner Channels?
Keltner Channels are widely used by traders for identifying trends, detecting volatility, and spotting trade opportunities.
1. Trend Identification
The middle line (EMA) shows the general trend.
If price consistently stays above the middle line, it indicates a strong uptrend.
If price stays below, it signals a downtrend.
Use: Traders follow the trend direction to enter trades in line with momentum.
2. Volatility Measurement
The width of the channel expands and contracts based on Average True Range (ATR).
Wider channels = high volatility, tighter channels = low volatility.
Use: Helps traders decide when to expect breakouts or calm periods.
3. Breakout Signals
A break above the upper band can signal a bullish breakout.
A break below the lower band can signal a bearish breakout.
Use: Traders use this for momentum trading and breakout entries.
4. Overbought/Oversold Conditions
Price touching or crossing the upper band may suggest it's overbought.
Price touching or crossing the lower band may suggest it's oversold.
Use: Traders combine this with RSI or MACD to confirm reversal setups.
5. Trade Entry and Exit
When price pulls back to the middle EMA during a trend, it may present a buy/sell opportunity.
Exits can also be planned if price returns inside the bands after a breakout.
Use: Helps with precise entry and exit timing.
6. Combines Well With Other Indicators
Commonly used with:
RSI (for confirmation)
MACD (for momentum)
Candlestick patterns (for price action signals)
Combining Candlestick Patterns with Keltner Channels gives traders a powerful method to confirm entries, spot reversals, and improve accuracy. Here’s why this combination works so well:
1. Context for Candlestick Signals
Candlestick patterns (like doji, engulfing, or pin bars) show potential price reversals, but they need context to be reliable. Keltner Channels provide that context:
A bullish candlestick near the lower band suggests a stronger buy signal.
A bearish candlestick near the upper band strengthens a sell signal.
2. Filtering False Signals
Candlestick patterns occur frequently, and not all are meaningful.
The location within the Keltner Channel helps filter out weak or false patterns.
Example: A bullish engulfing candle outside the lower band = high-probability reversal.
3. Improved Entry Timing
Traders wait for a candlestick pattern confirmation when price touches or crosses a Keltner band.
This avoids premature entries and allows tighter stop-losses.
4. Better Risk-Reward Setup
Candlestick entry near channel extremes (upper/lower band) lets traders place stop-losses just beyond recent highs/lows.
The target can be the opposite side of the channel or the middle EMA.
5. Visual Simplicity
Keltner Channels + Candles are visually intuitive.
Even beginner traders can easily recognize:
Overextended candles near channel edges.
Confirmed breakouts or reversals.

Trailing Cumulative Volume DeltaShort Description:
A dynamic volume delta indicator that calculates a trailing sum of net buying/selling pressure over a user-defined number of recent bars, offering a more adaptive view of order flow momentum compared to fixed-anchor CVD.
Overview:
The Trailing Cumulative Volume Delta (TCVD) indicator provides a powerful way to analyze market sentiment by tracking the net difference between buying and selling volume. Unlike traditional Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicators that typically reset at fixed intervals (e.g., daily, weekly), the TCVD calculates a rolling sum of volume delta over a specified number of recent bars. This "trailing" approach offers a more fluid and responsive measure of recent order flow dynamics.
How it Works:
Per-Bar Delta Calculation: For each bar on your chart, the indicator first calculates the net Volume Delta. This is done by looking at a finer, user-configurable Lower Timeframe (e.g., 1-minute data for a 15-minute chart bar) to determine the aggressive buying vs. selling volume within that bar.
Trailing Sum: The indicator then sums these individual per-bar net deltas over a user-defined Trailing Bars lookback period. For example, if "Trailing Bars" is set to 20, the TCVD value will represent the cumulative net delta of the last 20 bars.
Visualization:
The TCVD is plotted in a "MACD-Columns-Style" in a separate pane.
Teal: When the TCVD value is increasing (suggesting growing net buying pressure or diminishing net selling pressure over the trailing period).
Red: When the TCVD value is decreasing (suggesting growing net selling pressure or diminishing net buying pressure over the trailing period).
White: When it is returning to the mean.
How to Interpret and Use TCVD:
Trend Strength & Momentum:
A rising TCVD suggests that, on average over the trailing period, buying pressure is dominant or strengthening. This can confirm bullish price action or indicate underlying strength.
A falling TCVD suggests that selling pressure is dominant or strengthening, potentially confirming bearish price action or indicating weakness.
Divergences:
Unlike other Divergences, the CVD has two different types of Divergences: a) Absorption and b) Exhaustion. You only want to trade the Absorption pattern.
Zero Line Crossovers:
TCVD crossing above the zero line can indicate a shift towards net positive buying pressure over the lookback period.
TCVD crossing below the zero line can indicate a shift towards net positive selling pressure.
Confirmation: Use TCVD to confirm breakouts or breakdowns. A price breakout accompanied by a strongly rising TCVD is generally more reliable.
Key Settings:
Trailing Bars: (Default: 10)
Determines the number of recent bars to include in the cumulative delta sum.
Shorter periods make the TCVD more responsive to immediate changes.
Longer periods provide a smoother, longer-term view of order flow.
Use custom timeframe: (Checkbox, Default: false)
Allows you to override the automatic selection of the lower timeframe for delta calculation.
Timeframe for Delta Calculation: (Default: "1" - 1 minute)
Specifies the lower timeframe data used to calculate the volume delta for each individual chart bar.
Choosing a very fine timeframe (e.g., seconds) can provide high precision but may be limited by data availability or processing load.
If "Use custom timeframe" is unchecked, the script attempts to choose a sensible default based on your chart's timeframe (e.g., "1S" for second charts, "1" for intraday, "5" for daily, "60" for weekly+).
Examples:
Confirming Breakout Strength:
Price breaks out above a significant resistance level.
If the TCVD is also sharply rising and has perhaps crossed above its zero line, it provides confirmation that strong buying interest is fueling the breakout, increasing confidence in its validity.
Important Notes:
This indicator requires reliable volume data from your broker/data feed to function correctly. If your chart does not have volume, or if the volume data is unreliable, the TCVD will not be accurate.
Like all indicators, TCVD is best used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, in conjunction with price action analysis and other indicators or tools.
Experiment with the Trailing Bars and Timeframe for Delta Calculation settings to find what best suits your trading style, the asset you are analyzing, and the chart timeframe you are using.

Key Recent Highs and LowsKey Recent Highs & Lows — Session‐Aware Market Structure
TL;DR
This tool plots the most important intraday price extremes for every U.S.‑equity trading segment—Early Premarket • Western Premarket • Regular Hours • Post‑Market Hours • Yesterday’s Range—and labels them so you can trade break‑outs, retests and mean‑reversion with instant context.
📐 Theory & Why These Levels Matter
Liquidity Pools
Visible session extremes attract resting orders (stop‑losses, take‑profits, opening prints). Price often accelerates into them and reacts at them.
Market Memory
The previous day’s high/low is a widely‑watched pivot for gap fills, overnight inventory corrections and multi‑day breakouts.
Mean‑Reversion Windows
Statistically, pre‑ and post‑market ranges are thin; an aggressive spike outside those bands often retraces when full liquidity returns.
Break‑Out Confirmation
A true breakout isn’t just a tick above RTH‑high—it usually closes or at least consolidates above the prior extreme. Seeing all bands lets you gauge whether a push is “real” or just probing thinner sessions.
Put simply, these levels help you decide:
Break‑out ➜ trade in the direction of expansion past a session extreme with follow‑through.
Fade/Mean‑Revert ➜ fade a spike that tags an extreme without commitment (e.g., hits Western‑Premkt‑High then stalls before RTH).
🔍 What the Script Draws
Session (UTC‑4 EST) Default Color / Style Typical Use‑Case
Early Premarket 4 – 7 AM Thick semi‑transparent orange line detect overnight retail spikes / fade plays
Western Premarket 7 – 9 : 30 AM Dashed orange‑red breakout watch as U.S. brokers open
Regular Session (RTH) 9 : 30 – 16 : 00 Bold teal dotted line core intraday structure; classic highs/lows
Post‑Market 16 – 23 : 59 Soft indigo band after‑hours news moves, earnings fades
Previous‑Day RTH Solid teal gap‑fill targets, trend continuation filters
(All colors, thicknesses and transparencies are editable in the settings.)
✨ Features
Real‑Time Updates
Levels refresh tick‑by‑tick inside their own session—no repainting later.
One‑Click Visibility Toggles
Show or hide any session extreme independently.
Clean Auto‑Labels
Optional right‑edge tags (“RTH High”, “Premkt Low”, etc.) keep your chart readable even when lines overlap.
Automatic Daily Reset
At midnight Eastern, buffers clear and yesterday’s extremes roll into the “Prev‑Day” pair.
Zero‑Noise Design
Transparencies and line styles are tuned so you can overlay on any symbol / timeframe without drowning candles.
📈 How to Trade with It
Intraday Breakout Strategy
Mark confluence (e.g., price pushes through Western Premkt High and Yesterday’s High).
Wait for a pullback that holds above the reclaimed band.
Enter with stop under that session line; target next band or measured‑move.
Fade / Mean‑Reversion
Pre‑market headline sends price 5 % above Early Premkt High.
Volume dries up before RTH open.
Short into exhaustion; cover near Western Premkt High or VWAP.
Gap‑Fill & Trend Days
Cash open gaps above Prev‑Day High.
If first 15‑min candle closes back inside yesterday’s range, bias shifts to downside fade.
If it holds above, treat gap as breakout and track RTH High extensions.
Pair it with volume‑profile, VWAP, or momentum oscillators for even higher‑confidence setups.

Guppy Multiple Moving Average (GMMA)The GMMA Momentum Indicator plots 12 EMAs on your chart, divided into two groups:
Short-term EMAs (6 lines, default periods: 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15): Represent short-term trader sentiment and momentum.
Long-term EMAs (6 lines, default periods: 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60): Reflect long-term investor behavior and broader market trends.
By analyzing the interaction between these two groups, the indicator identifies:
Bullish and bearish trends based on the relative positions of the short- and long-term EMAs.
Momentum strength through the spread or convergence of the EMAs.
Potential reversals or breakouts via compression signals.
This PineScript version enhances the traditional GMMA by adding visual cues like background colors, bearish signals, and compression detection, making it ideal for swing traders seeking clear, actionable insights.
The GMMA Momentum Indicator provides several key features:
1. Trend Identification
Bullish Trend: When the short-term EMAs (green lines) are above the long-term EMAs (blue lines) and spreading apart, it signals strong upward momentum. The chart background turns light green to highlight this condition.
Bearish Trend: When the short-term EMAs cross below the long-term EMAs and converge, it indicates downward momentum. The background turns light red, and an orange downward triangle appears above the bar to mark a new bearish signal.
2. Momentum Analysis
The spread between the short-term EMAs reflects the strength of short-term momentum. A wide spread suggests strong momentum, while a tight grouping indicates weakening momentum or consolidation. Similarly, the long-term EMAs act as dynamic support or resistance, guiding traders on the broader trend.
3. Compression Detection
Compression occurs when both the short-term and long-term EMAs converge, signaling low volatility and a potential breakout or reversal. A yellow upward triangle appears below the bar when compression is detected, alerting traders to watch for price action.
4. Visual Cues
Green short-term EMAs: Show short-term trader activity.
Blue long-term EMAs: Represent long-term investor sentiment.
Background colors: Light green for bullish trends, light red for bearish trends, and transparent for neutral conditions.
Orange downward triangles: Mark new bearish trends.
Yellow upward triangles: Indicate compression, hinting at potential breakouts.
How to Use the GMMA Momentum Indicator for Swing Trading
Swing trading involves capturing price moves over days to weeks, and the GMMA Momentum Indicator is an excellent tool for this strategy. Here’s how to use it effectively:
1. Identifying Trade Entries
Buy Opportunities:
Look for a bullish trend (green background) where the short-term EMAs are above the long-term EMAs and spreading apart, indicating strong momentum.
A compression signal (yellow triangle) followed by a breakout above resistance or a bullish candlestick pattern can confirm an entry.
Example: On a daily chart, if the short-term EMAs cross above the long-term EMAs and the background turns green, consider entering a long position, especially if volume supports the move.
Sell Opportunities:
Watch for a bearish signal (orange downward triangle) or a bearish trend (red background) where the short-term EMAs cross below the long-term EMAs.
Example: If the short-term EMAs collapse below the long-term EMAs and an orange triangle appears, it may signal a shorting opportunity or a time to exit longs.
2. Managing Trades
Use the long-term EMAs as dynamic support (in uptrends) or resistance (in downtrends) to set stop-loss levels or trail stops.
Monitor the spread of the short-term EMAs. A widening spread suggests the trend is strong, while convergence may indicate it’s time to take profits or tighten stops.
3. Anticipating Reversals
Compression signals (yellow triangles) highlight periods of low volatility, often preceding significant price moves. Combine these with price action (e.g., breakouts or reversals) or other indicators (e.g., RSI or volume) for confirmation.
Example: If a compression signal appears near a key support level and the price breaks upward, it could signal the start of a new bullish swing.
4. Best Practices
Timeframes: The indicator works well on daily or 4-hour charts for swing trading, but you can adjust the EMA periods for shorter (e.g., 1-hour) or longer (e.g., weekly) timeframes.
Confirmation: Combine the GMMA with other tools like support/resistance levels, candlestick patterns, or oscillators (e.g., MACD) to reduce false signals.
Risk Management: Always use proper position sizing and stop-losses, as EMAs are lagging indicators and may produce delayed signals in choppy markets.

Strategy Components
1. Market Regime Detection
The strategy’s brain is its ability to classify market conditions into five regimes, ensuring signals match the environment.
How It Works:
Trending (Regime 1): ADX > 20, fast/slow EMA spread > 0.3x ATR, HTF RSI > 50 or MACD bullish (htf_trend_bull/bear).
Range (Regime 2): ADX < 25, price range < 3% of close, no HTF trend.
Volatile (Regime 3): BB width > 1.5x avg, ATR > 1.2x avg, HTF RSI overbought/oversold.
Quiet (Regime 4): BB width < 0.8x avg, ATR < 0.9x avg.
Other (Regime 5): Default for unclear conditions.
Indicators: ADX (14), BB width (20), ATR (14, 50-bar SMA), HTF RSI (14, daily default), HTF MACD (12,26,9).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Regime detection adapts signals to market context, boosting win rates in trending or volatile conditions.
HTF RSI/MACD add a big-picture filter, rare in basic scripts.
Visualized via gradient background (green for Trending, orange for Range, red for Volatile, gray for Quiet, navy for Other).
2. Multi-Factor Signal Scoring
Entries are driven by a weighted scoring system that combines candlestick patterns, trend, momentum, and volume for robust signals.
Candlestick Patterns:
Bullish: Engulfing (0.5), hammer (0.4 in Range, 0.2 else), morning star (0.2), piercing (0.2), double bottom (0.3 in Volatile, 0.15 else). Must be near support (low ≤ 1.01x 20-bar low) with volume spike (>1.5x 20-bar avg).
Bearish: Engulfing (0.5), shooting star (0.4 in Range, 0.2 else), evening star (0.2), dark cloud (0.2), double top (0.3 in Volatile, 0.15 else). Must be near resistance (high ≥ 0.99x 20-bar high) with volume spike.
Logic: Patterns are weighted higher in specific regimes (e.g., hammer in Range, double bottom in Volatile).
Additional Factors:
Trend: Fast EMA (20) > slow EMA (50) + 0.5x ATR (trend_bull, +0.2); opposite for trend_bear.
RSI: RSI (14) < 30 (rsi_bull, +0.15); > 70 (rsi_bear, +0.15).
MACD: MACD line > signal (12,26,9, macd_bull, +0.15); opposite for macd_bear.
Volume: ATR > 1.2x 50-bar avg (vol_expansion, +0.1).
HTF Confirmation: HTF RSI < 70 and MACD bullish (htf_bull_confirm, +0.2); RSI > 30 and MACD bearish (htf_bear_confirm, +0.2).
Scoring:
bull_score = sum of bullish factors; bear_score = sum of bearish. Entry requires score ≥ 1.0.
Example: Bullish engulfing (0.5) + trend_bull (0.2) + rsi_bull (0.15) + htf_bull_confirm (0.2) = 1.05, triggers long.
Why It’s Brilliant:
Multi-factor scoring ensures signals are confirmed by multiple market dynamics, reducing false positives.
Regime-specific weights make patterns more relevant (e.g., hammers shine in Range markets).
HTF confirmation aligns with the big picture, a quant edge over simplistic scripts.
3. Futures-Tuned Risk Management
The risk system is built for futures, calculating position sizes based on $ risk and offering flexible stops/TPs.
Position Sizing:
Logic: Risk per trade (default: $300) ÷ (stop distance in points * point value) = contracts, capped at max_contracts (default: 5). Point value = tick value (e.g., $12.5 for ES) * ticks per point (4) * contract multiplier (1 for ES, 0.1 for MES).
Example: $300 risk, 8-point stop, ES ($50/point) → 0.75 contracts, rounded to 1.
Impact: Precise sizing prevents over-leverage, critical for micro contracts like MES.
Stops and Take-Profits:
Fixed: Default stop = 8 points, TP = 16 points (2:1 reward/risk).
ATR-Based: Stop = 1.5x ATR (default), TP = 3x ATR, enabled via use_atr_for_stops.
Logic: Stops set at swing low/high ± stop distance; TPs at 2x stop distance from entry.
Impact: ATR stops adapt to volatility, while fixed stops suit stable markets.
Trailing Stops:
Logic: Activates at 50% of TP distance. Trails at close ± 1.5x ATR (atr_multiplier). Longs: max(trail_stop_long, close - ATR * 1.5); shorts: min(trail_stop_short, close + ATR * 1.5).
Impact: Locks in profits during trends, a game-changer in volatile sessions.
Circuit Breaker:
Logic: Pauses trading if daily drawdown > 5% (daily_drawdown = (max_equity - equity) / max_equity).
Impact: Protects capital during black swan events (e.g., April 27, 2025 ES slippage).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Futures-specific inputs (tick value, multiplier) make it plug-and-play for ES/MES.
Trailing stops and circuit breaker add pro-level safety, rare in off-the-shelf scripts.
Flexible stops (ATR or fixed) suit different trading styles.
4. Trade Entry and Exit Logic
Entries and exits are precise, driven by bull_score/bear_score and protected by drawdown checks.
Entry Conditions:
Long: bull_score ≥ 1.0, no position (position_size <= 0), drawdown < 5% (not pause_trading). Calculates contracts, sets stop at swing low - stop points, TP at 2x stop distance.
Short: bear_score ≥ 1.0, position_size >= 0, drawdown < 5%. Stop at swing high + stop points, TP at 2x stop distance.
Logic: Tracks entry_regime for PNL arrays. Closes opposite positions before entering.
Exit Conditions:
Stop-Loss/Take-Profit: Hits stop or TP (strategy.exit).
Trailing Stop: Activates at 50% TP, trails by ATR * 1.5.
Emergency Exit: Closes if price breaches stop (close < long_stop_price or close > short_stop_price).
Reset: Clears stop/TP prices when flat (position_size = 0).
Why It’s Brilliant:
Score-based entries ensure multi-factor confirmation, filtering out weak signals.
Trailing stops maximize profits in trends, unlike static exits in basic scripts.
Emergency exits add an extra safety layer, critical for futures volatility.
5. DAFE Visuals
The visuals are pure DAFE magic, blending function with cyberpunk flair to make signals intuitive and charts stunning.
Shimmering Bollinger Band Fill:

Market Structure Confluence [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script is called "Market Structure Confluence" and it combines classic market structure analysis with a dynamic volatility-based band system to detect shifts in trend and momentum more reliably. It tracks key swing points (higher highs, higher lows, lower highs, lower lows) to define the trend, then overlays a basis and ATR-smoothed volatility bands to catch rejection signals and highlight potential inflection points in the market.
CONCEPTS
Market structure is the foundation of price action trading, focusing on the relationship between successive highs and lows to understand trend conditions. Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH) events are important because they signal when a market might be shifting direction. This script enhances traditional structure by integrating volatility bands, which act like dynamic support/resistance zones based on ATR, allowing it to capture momentum surges and rejections beyond just structural shifts.
FEATURES
Swing Detection: It detects and labels Higher Highs (HH), Higher Lows (HL), Lower Highs (LH), and Lower Lows (LL) based on user-defined time horizons, helping traders quickly spot the trend direction.
BOS and CHoCH Lines: When a previous swing point is broken, the script automatically plots a Break of Structure (BOS) line. If the break represents a major trend reversal (a CHoCH), it is marked differently to separate simple breakouts from real trend changes.
Rejection Signals: Special arrows plot when price pierces a band and then pulls back, suggesting a potential trap move or rejection signal in the direction of the new structure.
Alerts: Built-in alerts for structure breaks, CHoCHs, swing points, rejections at bands, and trend flips make it easy to automate setups without manually watching the chart.
USAGE
Set your preferred swing detection size depending on your timeframe and trading style — smaller numbers for intraday, larger numbers for swing trading. Choose whether you want BOS/CHoCH confirmed by candle closes or by wick breaks. Use the volatility band settings to fine-tune how tightly or loosely the bands hug the price, adjusting sensitivity based on market conditions. When a BOS or CHoCH occurs, or when a rejection happens at the bands, the script will highlight it clearly and optionally trigger alerts. Watch for combinations where both structure breaks and volatility band rejections happen together — those are high-quality trade signals. This setup works best when used with basic trend filtering and higher timeframe confirmation.

Frozen Bias Zones – Sentiment Lock-insOverview
The Frozen Bias Zones indicator visualizes market sentiment lock-ins using a combination of RSI, MACD, and OBV. It creates "bias zones" that indicate whether the market is in a sustained bullish or bearish phase. These zones are then highlighted on the chart, helping traders spot when the market is locked in a bias. The script also detects breakout events from these zones and marks them with clear labels for easier decision-making.
Features
Multi-Indicator Sentiment Analysis: Combines RSI, MACD, and OBV to detect synchronized bullish or bearish sentiment.
Frozen Bias Zones: Identifies and visually represents zones where the market has remained in a particular sentiment (bullish or bearish) for a defined period.
Breakout Alerts: Displays labels to indicate when the price breaks out of the established bias zone.
Customizable Inputs: Adjust the zone duration, RSI, MACD, and breakout label visibility.
Input Parameters
Bias Duration (biasLength)
The minimum number of candles the market must stay in a specific sentiment to consider it a "Frozen Bias Zone".
Default: 5 candles.
RSI Period (rsiPeriod)
Period for the Relative Strength Index (RSI) calculation.
Default: 14 periods.
MACD Settings
MACD Fast (macdFast): The fast-moving average period for the MACD calculation.
Default: 12.
MACD Slow (macdSlow): The slow-moving average period for the MACD calculation.
Default: 26.
MACD Signal (macdSig): The signal line period for MACD.
Default: 9.
Show Break Label (showBreakLabel)
Toggle to show labels when the price breaks out of the bias zone.
Default: True (shows label).
Bias Zone Colors
Bullish Bias Color (bullColor): The color for bullish zones (light green).
Bearish Bias Color (bearColor): The color for bearish zones (light red).
How It Works
This indicator analyzes three key market metrics to determine whether the market is in a bullish or bearish phase:
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Measures the speed and change of price movements. RSI > 50 indicates a bullish phase, while RSI < 50 indicates a bearish phase.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
Measures the relationship between two moving averages of the price. A positive MACD histogram indicates bullish momentum, while a negative histogram indicates bearish momentum.
OBV (On-Balance Volume)
Uses volume flow to determine if a trend is likely to continue. A rising OBV indicates bullish accumulation, while a falling OBV indicates bearish distribution.
Bias Zone Detection
The market sentiment is considered bullish if all three indicators (RSI, MACD, and OBV) are bullish, and bearish if all three indicators are bearish.
Bullish Zone: A zone is created when the market sentiment remains bullish for the duration of the specified biasLength.
Bearish Zone: A zone is created when the market sentiment remains bearish for the duration of the specified biasLength.
These bias zones are visually represented on the chart as colored boxes (green for bullish, red for bearish).
Breakout Detection
The script automatically detects when the market exits a bias zone. If the price moves outside the bounds of the established zone (either up or down), the script will display one of the following labels:
Bias Break (Up): Indicates that the price has broken upwards out of the zone (with a green label).
Bias Break (Down): Indicates that the price has broken downwards out of the zone (with a red label).
These labels help traders easily identify potential breakout points.
Example Use Case
Bullish Market Conditions: If the RSI is above 50, the MACD histogram is positive, and OBV is increasing, the script will highlight a green bias zone. Traders can watch for potential bullish breakouts or trend continuation after the zone ends.
Bearish Market Conditions: If the RSI is below 50, the MACD histogram is negative, and OBV is decreasing, the script will highlight a red bias zone. Traders can look for potential bearish breakouts when the zone ends.
Conclusion
The Frozen Bias Zones indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to visualize prolonged market sentiment, whether bullish or bearish. By combining RSI, MACD, and OBV, it helps traders spot when the market is "locked in" to a bias. The breakout labels make it easier to take action when the price moves outside of the established zone, potentially signaling the start of a new trend.
Instructions
To use this script:
Add the Frozen Bias Zones indicator to your TradingView chart.
Adjust the input parameters to suit your trading strategy.
Observe the colored bias zones on your chart, along with breakout labels, to make informed decisions on trend continuation or reversal.
SMC+The "SMC+" indicator is a comprehensive tool designed to overlay key Smart Money Concepts (SMC) levels, support/resistance zones, order blocks (OB), fair value gaps (FVG), and trap detection on your TradingView chart. It aims to assist traders in identifying potential areas of interest based on price action, swing structures, and volume dynamics across multiple timeframes. This indicator is fully customizable, allowing users to adjust lookback periods, colors, opacity, and sensitivity to suit their trading style.
Key Components and Functionality

This section plots horizontal lines representing support and resistance levels based on highs and lows over three distinct lookback periods, plus daily nearest levels.
Short-Term Lookback Period (Default: 20 bars)
Plots the highest high (short_high) and lowest low (short_low) over the specified period.
Visualized as dotted lines with customizable colors (Short-Term Resistance Color, Short-Term Support Color) and opacity (Short-Term Resistance Opacity, Short-Term Support Opacity).
Adjustment Tip: Increase the lookback (e.g., to 30-50) for less frequent but stronger levels on higher timeframes, or decrease (e.g., to 10-15) for scalping on lower timeframes.
Long-Term Lookback Period (Default: 50 bars)
Plots broader support (long_low) and resistance (long_high) levels using a solid line style.
Customizable via Long-Term Resistance Color, Long-Term Support Color, and their respective opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Extend to 100-200 bars for swing trading or major trend analysis on daily/weekly charts.
Extra-Long Lookback Period (Default: 100 bars)
Identifies significant historical highs (extra_long_high) and lows (extra_long_low) with dashed lines.
Configurable with Extra-Long Resistance Color, Extra-Long Support Color, and opacity settings.
Adjustment Tip: Use 200-500 bars for monthly charts to capture macro-level key zones.
Daily Nearest Resistance and Support Levels
Dynamically calculates the nearest resistance (daily_res_level) and support (daily_sup_level) based on the current day’s price action relative to historical highs and lows.
Displayed with Daily Resistance Color and Daily Support Color (with opacity options).
Adjustment Tip: Works best on intraday charts (e.g., 15m, 1h) to track daily pivots; combine with volume profile for confirmation.
How It Works: These levels update dynamically as new highs/lows form, providing a visual guide to potential reversal or breakout zones.
2. SMC Inputs (Smart Money Concepts)
This section identifies swing structures, order blocks, fair value gaps, and entry signals based on SMC principles.
SMC Swing Lookback Period (Default: 12 bars)
Defines the period for detecting swing highs (smc_swing_high) and lows (smc_swing_low).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 20-30 for smoother swings on higher timeframes; reduce to 5-10 for faster signals on lower timeframes.
Minimum Swing Size (%) (Default: 0.5%)
Filters out minor price movements to focus on significant swings.
Adjustment Tip: Raise to 1-2% for volatile markets (e.g., crypto) to avoid noise; lower to 0.2-0.3% for forex pairs with tight ranges.
Order Block Sensitivity (Default: 1.0)
Scales the size of detected order blocks (OBs) for bullish reversal (smc_ob_bull), bearish reversal (smc_ob_bear), and continuation (smc_cont_ob).
Visuals include customizable colors, opacity, border thickness, and blinking effects (e.g., SMC Bullish Reversal OB Color, SMC Bearish Reversal OB Blink Thickness).
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 1.5-2.0 for wider OBs in choppy markets; keep at 1.0 for precision in trending conditions.
Minimum FVG Size (%) (Default: 0.3%)
Sets the minimum gap size for Fair Value Gaps (fvg_high, fvg_low), displayed as boxes with Fair Value Gap Color and FVG Opacity.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 0.5-1% for larger, more reliable gaps; decrease to 0.1-0.2% for scalping smaller inefficiencies.
How It Works:
Bullish Reversal OB: Detects a bearish candle followed by a bullish break, marking a potential demand zone.
Bearish Reversal OB: Identifies a bullish candle followed by a bearish break, marking a supply zone.
Continuation OB: Spots strong bullish momentum after a prior high, indicating a continuation zone.
FVG: Highlights bullish gaps where price may retrace to fill.
Entry Signals: Plots triangles (SMC Long Entry) when price retests an OB with a liquidity sweep or break of structure (BOS).
3. Trap Inputs
This section detects potential bull and bear traps based on price action, volume, and key level rejections.
Min Down Move for Bear Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum drop required after a bearish OB to qualify as a trap.
Visualized with Bear Trap Color, Bear Trap Opacity, and blinking borders.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 2-3% for stronger traps in trending markets; lower to 0.5% for ranging conditions.
Min Up Move for Bull Trap (%) (Default: 1.0%)
Sets the minimum rise required after a bullish OB to flag a trap.
Customizable with Bull Trap Color, Bull Trap Border Thickness, etc.
Adjustment Tip: Adjust similarly to bear traps based on market volatility.
Volume Lookback for Traps (Default: 5 bars)
Compares current volume to a moving average (avg_volume) to filter low-volume traps.
Adjustment Tip: Increase to 10-20 for confirmation on higher timeframes; reduce to 3 for intraday sensitivity.
How It Works:
Bear Trap: Triggers when price drops significantly after a bearish OB but reverses up with low volume or support rejection.
Bull Trap: Activates when price rises after a bullish OB but fails with low volume or resistance rejection.
Boxes highlight trap zones, resetting when price breaks out.
4. Visual Customization
Line Width (Default: 2)
Adjusts thickness of support/resistance lines.
Tip: Increase to 3-4 for visibility on cluttered charts.
Blink On (Default: Close)
Sets whether OB/FVG borders blink based on Open or Close price interaction.
Tip: Use "Open" for intraday precision; "Close" for confirmed reactions.
Colors and Opacity: Each element (OBs, FVGs, traps, key levels) has customizable colors, opacity (0-100), border thickness (1-5 or 1-7), and blink effects for dynamic visualization.
How to Use SMC+
Setup: Apply the indicator to any chart and adjust inputs based on your timeframe and market.
Key Levels: Watch for price reactions at short, long, extra-long, or daily levels for potential reversals or breakouts.
SMC Signals: Look for entry signals (triangles) near OBs or FVGs, confirmed by liquidity sweeps or BOS.
Traps: Avoid false breakouts by monitoring trap boxes, especially near key levels with low volume.
Notes:
This indicator is a visual aid and does not guarantee trading success. Combine it with other analysis tools and risk management strategies.
Performance may vary across markets and timeframes; test settings thoroughly before use.
For optimal results, experiment with lookback periods and sensitivity settings to match your trading style.
The default settings are optimal for 1 minute and 10 second time frames for small cap low float stocks.
Continuation OB are Blue.
Bullish Reversal OB color is Green
Bearish Reversal OB color is Red
FVG color is purple
Bear Trap OB is red with a green border and often appears with a Bearish Reversal OB signaling caution to a short position.
Bull trap OB is green with a Red border signaling caution to a long position.
All active OB area are highlighted and solid in color while other non active OB area are dimmed.
My personal favorite setups are when we have an active bullish reversal with an active FVG along with an active Continuation OB.
Another personal favorite is the Bearish reversal OB signaling an end to a recent uptrend.
The Trap OB detection are also a unique and Original helpful source of information.
The OB have a white boarder by default that are colored black giving a simulated blinking effect when price is acting in that zone.
The Trap OB border are colored with respect to direction of intended trap, all of which can be customized to personal style.
All vaild OB zones are shown compact in size ,a unique and original view until its no longer valid.
Quantile DEMA Trend | QuantEdgeB🚀 Introducing Quantile DEMA Trend (QDT) by QuantEdgeB
🛠️ Overview
Quantile DEMA Trend (QDT) is an advanced trend-following and momentum detection indicator designed to capture price trends with superior accuracy. Combining DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average) with SuperTrend and Quantile Filtering, QDT identifies strong trends while maintaining the ability to adapt to various market conditions.
Unlike traditional trend indicators, QDT uses percentile filtering to adjust for volatility and provides dynamic thresholds, ensuring consistent signal performance across different assets and timeframes.
✨ Key Features
🔹 Trend Following with Adaptive Sensitivity
The DEMA component ensures quicker responses to price changes while reducing lag, offering a real-time reflection of market momentum.
🔹 Volatility-Adjusted Filtering
The SuperTrend logic incorporates quantile percentile filters and ATR (Average True Range) multipliers, allowing QDT to adapt to fluctuating market volatility.
🔹 Clear Signal Generation
QDT generates clear Long and Short signals using percentile thresholds, effectively identifying trend changes and market reversals.
🔹 Customizable Visual & Signal Settings
With multiple color modes and customizable settings, you can easily align the QDT indicator with your trading strategy, whether you're focused on trend-following or volatility adjustments.
📊 How It Works
1️⃣ DEMA Calculation
DEMA is used to reduce lag compared to traditional moving averages. It is calculated by applying a Double Exponential Moving Average to price data. This smoother trend-following mechanism ensures responsiveness to market movements without introducing excessive noise.
2️⃣ SuperTrend with Percentile Filtering
The SuperTrend component adapts the trend-following signal by incorporating quantile percentile filters. It identifies dynamic support and resistance levels based on historical price data:
• Upper Band: Calculated using the 75th percentile + ATR (adjusted with multiplier)
• Lower Band: Calculated using the 25th percentile - ATR (adjusted with multiplier)
These dynamic bands adjust to market conditions, filtering out noise while identifying the true direction.
3️⃣ Signal Generation
• Long Signal: Triggered when price crosses below the SuperTrend Lower Band
• Short Signal: Triggered when price crosses above the SuperTrend Upper Band
The indicator provides signals with corresponding trend direction based on these crossovers.
👁 Visual & Custom Features
• 🎨 Multiple Color Modes: Choose from "Strategy", "Solar", "Warm", "Cool", "Classic", and "Magic" color palettes to match your charting style.
• 🏷️ Long/Short Signal Labels: Optional labels for visual cueing when a long or short trend is triggered.
• 📉 Bar Color Customization: Bar colors dynamically adjust based on trend direction to visually distinguish the market bias.
👥 Who Should Use QDT?
✅ Trend Followers: Use QDT as a dynamic tool to confirm trends and capture profits in trending markets.
✅ Swing Traders: Use QDT to time entries based on confirmed breakouts or breakdowns.
✅ Volatility Traders: Identify market exhaustion or expansion points, especially during volatile periods.
✅ Systematic & Quant Traders: Integrate QDT into algorithmic strategies to enhance market detection with adaptive filtering.
⚙️ Customization & Default Settings

Dual Volume Divergence LineDual Volume Divergence Line (DVD/Line)
🔹 Overview
The Dual Volume Divergence Line (DVD/Line) is a custom Pine Script™ indicator designed to identify potential trend reversals and continuations by analyzing volume and price divergences. This script is inspired by the original concept of the Dual Volume Divergence Index (DVDI) by DonovanWall and has been modified and enhanced by keremertem. Special thanks to DonovanWall for the original concept. The indicator combines volume-based calculations with price action to generate signals for bullish and bearish divergences, both normal and hidden. Below is a detailed breakdown of its components and functionality.
🔹 Key Features of the DVD/Line Indicator
1. Dual Volume Divergence Calculation:
- The indicator calculates two primary volume-based indices: the Positive Volume Index (PVI) and the Negative Volume Index (NVI).
- PVI measures the impact of volume on price when the price increases, while NVI measures the impact when the price decreases.
- These indices are used to detect divergences between volume and price, which can signal potential reversals or continuations.
2. Customizable Inputs:
- DVD Sampling Period: Adjusts the sensitivity of the indicator by controlling the lookback period for calculating the volume-weighted moving averages (VWMA) of PVI and NVI.
- Band Width: Defines the range for calculating the upper and lower bands, which act as dynamic support and resistance levels.
- Source: Allows users to select the price source (e.g., `hlc3`, `close`, etc.) for calculations.
3. Volume-Weighted Moving Averages (VWMA):
- Instead of using traditional moving averages, the script employs VWMA to smooth the PVI and NVI signals. This ensures that the indicator is more responsive to changes in volume.
4. Upper and Lower Bands:
- The upper and lower bands are calculated using the Root Mean Square (RMS) of the highest and lowest values of the DVD line over a user-defined period. These bands help identify overbought and oversold conditions.
5. Divergence Detection:
- The script identifies four types of divergences:
- Normal Bullish Divergence: Occurs when price makes a lower low, but the DVD line makes a higher low.
- Hidden Bullish Divergence: Occurs when price makes a higher low, but the DVD line makes a lower low.
- Normal Bearish Divergence: Occurs when price makes a higher high, but the DVD line makes a lower high.
- Hidden Bearish Divergence: Occurs when price makes a lower high, but the DVD line makes a higher high.
- These divergences are visually highlighted on the chart using labels.
6. Customizable Divergence Selection:
- Users can choose between two types of divergence calculations:
- DVDI: Based on the raw divergence values.
- DVD Line: Based on the smoothed DVD line.
7. Visual Enhancements:
- The DVD line is plotted with a color-coded scheme: blue when the DVD line is above its signal line (bullish) and pink when it is below (bearish).
- The upper and lower bands are displayed as step lines, making it easier to identify key levels.
🔹 How the Indicator Works
1. Volume-Based Calculations:
- The script starts by calculating the PVI and NVI based on the selected price source and volume data.
- PVI increases when the price rises, while NVI decreases when the price falls. These indices are then smoothed using VWMA to generate signals.
2. DVD Line Calculation:
- The DVD line is derived by combining the divergences of PVI and NVI. It is further smoothed using a Weighted Moving Average (WMA) and a linear regression line for trend analysis.
3. Divergence Detection:
- The script identifies pivot points in the DVD line and compares them with price action to detect divergences.
- Normal divergences indicate potential reversals, while hidden divergences suggest trend continuations.
4. Dynamic Bands:
- The upper and lower bands are calculated using RMS, which provides a more accurate representation of volatility compared to standard deviation or fixed-width bands.
5. Labeling:
- Divergences are labeled directly on the chart with clear text and color coding:
🟢 Bullish Divergence: Green label with "Bull".
🟩 Bearish Divergence: Red label with "Bear".
🔴 Hidden Bullish Divergence: Lime label with "hid.".
🟧 Hidden Bearish Divergence: Orange label with "hid.".
🔹 Unique Aspects of This Script
1. Volume-Weighted Smoothing:
- Unlike traditional divergence indicators that rely on simple moving averages, this script uses VWMA and WMA to ensure that volume plays a significant role in signal generation.
2. Dynamic Bands with RMS:
- The use of RMS for calculating bands provides a more adaptive and accurate representation of market conditions, especially in volatile markets.
3. Flexible Divergence Selection:
- Users can choose between raw divergence values (DVDI) or smoothed values (DVD Line), allowing for greater customization based on trading style.
4. Comprehensive Divergence Detection:
- The script detects both normal and hidden divergences, providing a complete picture of potential trend reversals and continuations.
5. User-Friendly Visuals:
- The color-coded DVD line and cross-style bands make it easy to interpret the indicator at a glance.
🔹 How to Use the Indicator
1. Trend Identification:
- Use the Middle Band and its color to identify the current trend. A green line suggests bullish momentum, while a red line indicates bearish momentum. Additionally, a bullish momentum may be indicated when the DVD line crosses up, and a bearish momentum may be indicated when it crosses down the Middle Band.
2. Divergence Trading:
- Look for divergences between the DVD line and price action. Normal divergences can be used for counter-trend trades, while hidden divergences can confirm trend continuations.
3. Band Breakouts:
- Monitor the upper and lower bands for potential breakout or reversal signals. A break above the upper band may indicate overbought conditions, while a break below the lower band may suggest oversold conditions.
4. Customization:
- Adjust the sampling period and band width to suit different timeframes and trading strategies. Shorter periods are more sensitive, while longer periods provide smoother signals.
🔹 Conclusion
The Dual Volume Divergence Line (DVD/Line) is a powerful and versatile indicator that combines volume analysis with price action to generate actionable trading signals. Its unique use of volume-weighted smoothing, dynamic bands, and comprehensive divergence detection sets it apart from traditional divergence indicators. Whether you're a day trader or a long-term investor, this tool can help you identify high-probability trading opportunities with greater accuracy and confidence.

Adaptive Regression Channel [MissouriTim]The Adaptive Regression Channel (ARC) is a technical indicator designed to empower traders with a clear, adaptable, and precise view of market trends and price boundaries. By blending advanced statistical techniques with real-time market data, ARC delivers a comprehensive tool that dynamically adjusts to price action, volatility, volume, and momentum. Whether you’re navigating the fast-paced world of cryptocurrencies, the steady trends of stocks, or the intricate movements of FOREX pairs, ARC provides a robust framework for identifying opportunities and managing risk.
Core Components
1. Color-Coded Regression Line
ARC’s centerpiece is a linear regression line derived from a Weighted Moving Average (WMA) of closing prices. This line adapts its calculation period based on market volatility (via ATR) and is capped between a minimum of 20 bars and a maximum of 1.5 times the user-defined base length (default 100). Visually, it shifts colors to reflect trend direction: green for an upward slope (bullish) and red for a downward slope (bearish), offering an instant snapshot of market sentiment.
2. Dynamic Residual Channels
Surrounding the regression line are upper (red) and lower (green) channels, calculated using the standard deviation of residuals—the difference between actual closing prices and the regression line. This approach ensures the channels precisely track how closely prices follow the trend, rather than relying solely on overall price volatility. The channel width is dynamically adjusted by a multiplier that factors in:
Volatility: Measured through the Average True Range (ATR), widening channels during turbulent markets.
Trend Strength: Based on the regression slope, expanding channels in strong trends and contracting them in consolidation phases.
3. Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA)
Plotted in orange, the VWMA overlays a volume-weighted price trend, emphasizing movements backed by significant trading activity. This complements the regression line, providing additional confirmation of trend validity and potential breakout strength.
4. Scaled RSI Overlay
ARC features a Relative Strength Index (RSI) overlay, plotted in purple and scaled to hover closely around the regression line. This compact display reflects momentum shifts within the trend’s context, keeping RSI visible on the price chart without excessive swings. User-defined overbought (default 70) and oversold (default 30) levels offer reference points for momentum analysis."
Technical Highlights
ARC leverages a volatility-adjusted lookback period, residual-based channel construction, and multi-indicator integration to achieve high accuracy. Its parameters—such as base length, channel width, ATR period, and RSI length—are fully customizable, allowing traders to tailor it to their specific needs.
Why Choose ARC?
ARC stands out for its adaptability and precision. The residual-based channels offer tighter, more relevant support and resistance levels compared to standard volatility measures, while the dynamic adjustments ensure it performs well in both trending and ranging markets. The inclusion of VWMA and scaled RSI adds depth, merging trend, volume, and momentum into a single, cohesive overlay. For traders seeking a versatile, all-in-one indicator, ARC delivers actionable insights with minimal noise.
Best Ways to Use the Adaptive Regression Channel (ARC)
The Adaptive Regression Channel (ARC) is a flexible tool that supports a variety of trading strategies, from trend-following to breakout detection. Below are the most effective ways to use ARC, along with practical tips for maximizing its potential. Adjustments to its settings may be necessary depending on the timeframe (e.g., intraday vs. daily) and the asset being traded (e.g., stocks, FOREX, cryptocurrencies), as each market exhibits unique volatility and behavior.
1. Trend Following
• How to Use: Rely on the regression line’s color to guide your trades. A green line (upward slope) signals a bullish trend—consider entering or holding long positions. A red line (downward slope) indicates a bearish trend—look to short or exit longs.
• Best Practice: Confirm the trend with the VWMA (orange line). Price above the VWMA in a green uptrend strengthens the bullish case; price below in a red downtrend reinforces bearish momentum.
• Adjustment: For short timeframes like 15-minute crypto charts, lower the Base Regression Length (e.g., to 50) for quicker trend detection. For weekly stock charts, increase it (e.g., to 200) to capture broader movements.
2. Channel-Based Trades
• How to Use: Use the upper channel (red) as resistance and the lower channel (green) as support. Buy when the price bounces off the lower channel in an uptrend, and sell or short when it rejects the upper channel in a downtrend.
• Best Practice: Check the scaled RSI (purple line) for momentum cues. A low RSI (e.g., near 30) at the lower channel suggests a stronger buy signal; a high RSI (e.g., near 70) at the upper channel supports a sell.
• Adjustment: In volatile crypto markets, widen the Base Channel Width Coefficient (e.g., to 2.5) to reduce false signals. For stable FOREX pairs (e.g., EUR/USD), a narrower width (e.g., 1.5) may work better.
3. Breakout Detection
• How to Use: Watch for price breaking above the upper channel (bullish breakout) or below the lower channel (bearish breakout). These moves often signal strong momentum shifts.
• Best Practice: Validate breakouts with VWMA position—price above VWMA for bullish breaks, below for bearish—and ensure the regression line’s slope aligns (green for up, red for down).
• Adjustment: For fast-moving assets like crypto on 1-hour charts, shorten ATR Length (e.g., to 7) to make channels more reactive. For stocks on daily charts, keep it at 14 or higher for reliability.
4. Momentum Analysis
• How to Use: The scaled RSI overlay shows momentum relative to the regression line. Rising RSI in a green uptrend confirms bullish strength; falling RSI in a red downtrend supports bearish pressure.
• Best Practice: Look for RSI divergences—e.g., price hitting new highs at the upper channel while RSI flattens or drops could signal an impending reversal.
• Adjustment: Reduce RSI Length (e.g., to 7) for intraday trading in FOREX or crypto to catch short-term momentum shifts. Increase it (e.g., to 21) for longer-term stock trades.
5. Range Trading
• How to Use: When the regression line’s slope is near zero (flat) and channels are tight, ARC indicates a ranging market. Buy near the lower channel and sell near the upper channel, targeting the regression line as the mean price.
• Best Practice: Ensure VWMA hovers close to the regression line to confirm the range-bound state.
• Adjustment: For low-volatility stocks on daily charts, use a moderate Base Regression Length (e.g., 100) and tight Base Channel Width (e.g., 1.5). For choppy crypto markets, test shorter settings.
Optimization Strategies
• Timeframe Customization: Adjust ARC’s parameters to match your trading horizon. Short timeframes (e.g., 1-minute to 1-hour) benefit from lower Base Regression Length (20–50) and ATR Length (7–10) for agility, while longer timeframes (e.g., daily, weekly) favor higher values (100–200 and 14–21) for stability.
• Asset-Specific Tuning:
○ Stocks: Use longer lengths (e.g., 100–200) and moderate widths (e.g., 1.8) for stable equities; tweak ATR Length based on sector volatility (shorter for tech, longer for utilities).
○ FOREX: Set Base Regression Length to 50–100 and Base Channel Width to 1.5–2.0 for smoother trends; adjust RSI Length (e.g., 10–14) based on pair volatility.
○ Crypto: Opt for shorter lengths (e.g., 20–50) and wider widths (e.g., 2.0–3.0) to handle rapid price swings; use a shorter ATR Length (e.g., 7) for quick adaptation.
• Backtesting: Test ARC on historical data for your asset and timeframe to optimize settings. Evaluate how often price respects channels and whether breakouts yield profitable trades.
• Enhancements: Pair ARC with volume surges, key support/resistance levels, or candlestick patterns (e.g., doji at channel edges) for higher-probability setups.
Practical Considerations
ARC’s adaptability makes it suitable for diverse markets, but its performance hinges on proper calibration. Cryptocurrencies, with their high volatility, may require shorter, wider settings to capture rapid moves, while stocks on longer timeframes benefit from broader, smoother configurations. FOREX pairs often fall in between, depending on their inherent volatility. Experiment with the adjustable parameters to align ARC with your trading style and market conditions, ensuring it delivers the precision and reliability you need.

RSI Failure Swing Pattern (with Alerts & Targets)RSI Failure Swing Pattern Indicator – Detailed Description
Overview
The RSI Failure Swing Pattern Indicator is a trend reversal detection tool based on the principles of failure swings in the Relative Strength Index (RSI). This indicator identifies key reversal signals by analyzing RSI swings and confirming trend shifts using predefined overbought and oversold conditions.
Failure swing patterns are one of the strongest RSI-based reversal signals, initially introduced by J. Welles Wilder. This indicator detects these patterns and provides clear buy/sell signals with labeled entry, stop-loss, and profit target levels. The tool is designed to work across all timeframes and assets.
How the Indicator Works
The RSI Failure Swing Pattern consists of two key structures:
1. Bullish Failure Swing (Buy Signal)
Occurs when RSI enters oversold territory (below 30), recovers, forms a higher low above the oversold level, and finally breaks above the intermediate swing high in RSI.
Step 1: RSI dips below 30 (oversold condition).
Step 2: RSI rebounds and forms a local peak.
Step 3: RSI retraces but does not go below the previous low (higher low confirmation).
Step 4: RSI breaks above the previous peak, confirming a bullish trend reversal.
Buy signal is triggered at the breakout above the RSI peak.
2. Bearish Failure Swing (Sell Signal)
Occurs when RSI enters overbought territory (above 70), declines, forms a lower high below the overbought level, and then breaks below the intermediate swing low in RSI.
Step 1: RSI rises above 70 (overbought condition).
Step 2: RSI declines and forms a local trough.
Step 3: RSI bounces but fails to exceed the previous high (lower high confirmation).
Step 4: RSI breaks below the previous trough, confirming a bearish trend reversal.
Sell signal is triggered at the breakdown below the RSI trough.
Features of the Indicator
Custom RSI Settings: Adjustable RSI length (default 14), overbought/oversold levels.
Buy & Sell Signals: Buy/sell signals are plotted directly on the price chart.
Entry, Stop-Loss, and Profit Targets:
Entry: Price at the breakout of the RSI failure swing pattern.
Stop-Loss: Lowest low (for buy) or highest high (for sell) of the previous two bars.
Profit Targets: Two levels calculated based on Risk-Reward ratios (1:1 and 1:2 by default, customizable).
Labeled Price Levels:
Entry Price Line (Blue): Marks the point of trade entry.
Stop-Loss Line (Red): Shows the calculated stop-loss level.
Target 1 Line (Orange): Profit target at 1:1 risk-reward ratio.
Target 2 Line (Green): Profit target at 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
Alerts for Trade Execution:
Buy/Sell signals trigger alerts for real-time notifications.
Alerts fire when price reaches stop-loss or profit targets.
Works on Any Timeframe & Asset: Suitable for stocks, forex, crypto, indices, and commodities.
Why Use This Indicator?
Highly Reliable Reversal Signals: Unlike simple RSI overbought/oversold strategies, failure swings filter out false breakouts and provide strong confirmation of trend reversals.
Risk Management Built-In: Stop-loss and take-profit levels are automatically set based on historical price action and risk-reward considerations.
Easy-to-Use Visualization: Clearly marked entry, stop-loss, and profit target levels make it beginner-friendly while still being valuable for experienced traders.
How to Trade with the Indicator
Buy Trade Example (Bullish Failure Swing)
RSI drops below 30 and recovers.
RSI forms a higher low and then breaks above the previous peak.
Entry: Buy when RSI crosses above its previous peak.
Stop-Loss: Set below the lowest low of the previous two candles.
Profit Targets:
Target 1 (1:1 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Target 2 (1:2 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Sell Trade Example (Bearish Failure Swing)
RSI rises above 70 and then declines.
RSI forms a lower high and then breaks below the previous trough.
Entry: Sell when RSI crosses below its previous trough.
Stop-Loss: Set above the highest high of the previous two candles.
Profit Targets:
Target 1 (1:1 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Target 2 (1:2 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Final Thoughts
The RSI Failure Swing Pattern Indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to identify high-probability trend reversals. By using the RSI failure swing concept along with built-in risk management tools, this indicator provides a structured approach to trading with clear entry and exit points. Whether you’re a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, this indicator helps in capturing momentum shifts while minimizing risk.

Acceleration Bands HTF
This version gives you the ability to see the indicator from the HIGHER timeframes when you are on the timeframes. Please note that this is not the original formula, but a factored one that I found effective for identifying market trends. Thanks to @capissimo who provided the base open-code.
Acceleration Bands are designed to capture potential price breakouts or reversals in an asset. They are calculated based on a stock's price movements over a specified period, typically using the high, low, and closing prices. The idea is to identify moments when the price is accelerating (hence the name) beyond its normal range, which might indicate the beginning of a new trend.
Calculation
Acceleration Bands consist of three lines:
Upper Band (AB Upper): This is calculated by adding a certain percentage of the simple moving average (SMA) to the highest high over a given period.
Middle Band: This is typically the SMA of the stock's price.
Lower Band (AB Lower): This is calculated by subtracting the same percentage of the SMA from the lowest low over a given period.
Mathematically :
AB Upper = SMA + (Highest High * Percentage)
AB Lower = SMA - (Lowest Low * Percentage)
OR
Upper Band = SMA x (1 + (High - Low) / SMA)
Lower Band = SMA x (1 - (High - Low) / SMA)
Interpretation
The bands are used to identify periods when the price of a security is accelerating or decelerating:
Breakout Above Upper Band: This is usually considered a bullish signal, suggesting that the price is accelerating upwards and a new uptrend may be starting.
Breakdown Below Lower Band: This is usually considered a bearish signal, suggesting that the price is accelerating downwards and a new downtrend may be starting.
Reversal Between Bands: When the price re-enters the region between the bands after breaking out, it can be seen as a potential reversal signal.
Trading Strategy
Entry Signals:
Buy when the price breaks above the upper band.
Sell or short when the price breaks below the lower band.
Exit Signals:
Close a long position when the price falls back into the area between the bands.
Close a short position when the price rises back into the area between the bands.
Advantages
Helps capture early trends.
Can be used across various time frames and assets.
Provides clear entry and exit signals.
SuperTrend + Relative Volume (Kernel Optimized)Introducing our new KDE Optimized Supertrend + Relative Volume Indicator!
This innovative indicator combines the power of the Supertrend indicator along with Relative Volume. It utilizes the Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) to estimate the probability of a candlestick marking a significant trend break or reversal.
❓How to Interpret the KDE %:
The KDE % is a crucial metric that reflects the likelihood that the current candlestick represents a true break in the SuperTrend line, supported by an increase in relative volume. It estimates the probability of a trend shift or continuation based on historical SuperTrend breaks and volume patterns:
Low KDE %: A lower probability that the current break is significant. Price action is less likely to reverse, and the trend may continue.
Moderate KDE - High KDE %: An increased possibility that a trend reversal or consolidation could occur. Traders should start watching for confirmation signals.
📌How Does It Work?
The SuperTrend indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to determine the direction of the trend and identifies when the price crosses the SuperTrend line, signaling a potential trend reversal. Here's how the KDE Optimized SuperTrend Indicator works:
SuperTrend Calculation: The SuperTrend indicator is calculated, and when the price breaks above (bullish) or below (bearish) the SuperTrend line, it is logged as a significant event.
Relative Volume: For each break in the SuperTrend line, we calculate the relative volume (current volume vs. the average volume over a defined period). High relative volume can suggest stronger confirmation of the trend break.
KDE Array Calculation: KDE is applied to the break points and relative volume data:
Define the KDE options: Bandwidth, Number of Steps, and Array Range (Array Max - Array Min).
Create a density range array using the defined number of steps, corresponding to potential break points.
Apply a Gaussian kernel function to the break points and volume data to estimate the likelihood of the trend break being significant.
KDE Value and Signal Generation: The KDE array is updated as each break occurs. The KDE % is calculated for the breakout candlestick, representing the likelihood of the trend break being significant. If the KDE value exceeds the defined activation threshold, a darker bullish or bearish arrow is plotted after bar confirmation. If the KDE value falls below the threshold, a more transparent arrow is drawn, indicating a possible but lower probability break.
⚙️Settings:
SuperTrend Settings:
ATR Length: The period over which the Average True Range (ATR) is calculated.
Multiplier: The multiplier applied to the ATR to determine the SuperTrend threshold.
KDE Settings:
Bandwidth: Determines the smoothness of the KDE function and the width of the influence of each break point.
Number of Bins (Steps): Defines the precision of the KDE algorithm, with higher values offering more detailed calculations.
KDE Threshold %: The level at which relative volume is considered significant for confirming a break.
Relative Volume Length: The number of historic candles used in calculating KDE %
Volatility-Volume Index (VVI)Volatility-Volume Index (VVI) – Indicator Description
The Volatility-Volume Index (VVI) is a custom trading indicator designed to identify market consolidation and anticipate breakouts by combining volatility (ATR) and trading volume into a single metric.
How It Works
Measures Volatility : Uses a 14-period Average True Range (ATR) to gauge price movement intensity.
Tracks Volume : Monitors trading activity to identify accumulation or distribution phases.
Normalization : ATR and volume are normalized using their respective 20-period Simple Moving Averages (SMA) for a balanced comparison.
Interpretation
VVI < 1: Low volatility and volume → Consolidation phase (range-bound market).
VVI > 1: Increased volatility and/or volume → Potential breakout or trend continuation.
How to Use VVI
Detect Consolidation:
Look for extended periods where VVI remains below 1.
Confirm with sideways price movement in a narrow range.
Anticipate Breakouts:
A spike above 1 signals a possible trend shift or breakout.
Why Use VVI?
Unlike traditional volatility indicators (ATR, Bollinger Bands) or volume-based tools (VWAP), VVI combines both elements to provide a clearer picture of consolidation zones and breakout potential.
