Penrose DiagramGreetings Traders! This is my measly 2 dimensional non-curved take on a Penrose Diagram .
What is a Penrose Diagram?
jila.colorado.edu
"A Penrose diagram is a kind of spacetime diagram arranged to make clear the complete causal structure of any given geometry. They are an indispensable map for navigating inside a black hole. Roger Penrose, who invented this kind of diagram in the early 1950s, himself calls them conformal diagrams." - Source: jila.colorado.edu
Penrose Diagrams allow an understanding of an infinite surface by projecting 4D Spheres on 2 Dimension Squares. The 4D shape within the 2D Square has the ability to reference a definable edge on an infinite boundary.
I thought this concept interesting, as I tend to hold a viewpoint of price being infinite in its own nature, and tried to combine the concepts as best I could.
In a true Penrose Diagram, you'd see curvature as you reached the edge of each Diagram Square to represent the curvature of space-time and the distorted boundary. However due to limitations of Pine and perhaps my own abilities, I decided to go the cheap route and opt for straight lines, as well as beginning each new Penrose Diagram on a new Session Start.
Also in this version, you will notice on some instruments that, as an example, two triangles overlap each other when you Extend the Penrose Diagram. The result of this is intentional and is due to the calculation of the first Triangle for the Penrose Diagram. The data points for each triangle are variable upon the average highest/lowest point from Open Price and the Max/Min highest/lowest point from Open Price over a variable amount of days. For typical instruments such as Futures products and Forex, it is common to see differences between the Highest High Breakout & Lowest Low Breakout, and therefore a difference between the true center of the Triangle and the corresponding angles. I prefer to use a 20-Day Average Period for Forex and Futures Products, for Crypto a 30 Day Average Period, all adjustable from the options menu.
Due to the differences between the data points(particularly the difference from the Session Open to the Highest High/ Lowest Low), the initial values for the extended Penrose Diagram will sometimes overlap with the initial triangle for Penrose Diagram creation. However keep in mind, all triangles are exactly the same, just rotated 180°and translated above and below the current Session Open Price. You can confirm this yourself using the handy Triangle Tool in your Drawing Tools directly from your TradingView Chart.
Haven't managed to play around on all instruments yet, so give it a whirl, and any feedback is greatly appreciated. Hope you enjoy!

Auto PitchFan, Fib Extension/Retracement and ZigZag by DGT Aᴜᴛᴏ PɪᴛᴄʜFᴀɴ, Fɪʙ Exᴛᴇɴꜱɪᴏɴ/Rᴇᴛʀᴀᴄᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ ᴀɴᴅ ZɪɢZᴀɢ
This study aim to automate PitchFan drawing tool and combines it with Fibonacci Extentions/Retracements and ZigZag.
Common setting options, applied to all components of the study
Deviation , is a multiplier that affects how much the price should deviate from the previous pivot in order for the bar to become a new pivot. Increasing its value is one way to get higher timeframe Levels
Depth , affects the minimum number of bars that will be taken into account when building
Historical PitchFan / Fibonacci Levels option will allow plotting of PitchFan / Fibonacci Levels on previous Pivot Highs/Lows
█ PɪᴛᴄʜFᴀɴ — is a set of rays spreading out of the point of a trend's beginning. These rays inclined with the coefficients formed by a Fibonacci number sequence. It is recommended to adjust the Pitchfan plottings to fit after the first wave of the trend has passed and the correction has clearly begun.
PitchFan rays corresponding to Fibonacci levels appear on a chart and represent inclined lines of support and resistance. Price areas near these rays are estimated areas from which the price can turn around or make a significant rebound. The whole logic of working with a pitchfan is based on one simple idea - if the price has bounced off the level, then the correction is likely to end, and the trend will continue. If the price has broken the first resistance, you should wait for the next level test
- Automatically plots PitchFan Rays, based on Pivot Lows/Highs.
- Ability to set ALERTs for each PitchFan Ray Level
- PitchFan Labels displays the price of the line at the last bar, the price value will be recalculated in each new bar
Please check the link provided below with the educational post of how to apply pitchfork, application of pitchfan is same keeping in mind the recommendation stated above
█ Fɪʙ Rᴇᴛʀᴀᴄᴇᴍᴇɴᴛs / Exᴛᴇɴꜱɪᴏɴꜱ
Fibonacci retracements is a popular instrument used by technical analysts to determine support and resistance areas. In technical analysis, this tool is created by taking two extreme points (usually a peak and a trough) on the chart and dividing the vertical distance by the key Fibonacci coefficients equal to 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 100%.
Fibonacci extensions are a tool that traders can use to establish profit targets or estimate how far a price may travel AFTER a retracement/pullback is finished. Extension levels are also possible areas where the price may reverse.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Fibonacci extensions option may require to do further adjustment of the study parameters for proper usage. Extensions are aimed to be used when a trend is present and they aim to measure how far a price may travel AFTER a retracement/pullback. I will strongly suggest users of this study to check the education post for further details where to use extensions and where to use retracements
- Automatically plots possible Support and Resistance levels, based on Pivot Lows/Highs.
- Ability to set ALERTs for each Fibonacci Extension/Retracement Level
- Labels displays the level and the level price
█ Zɪɢ Zᴀɢ — The Zig Zag indicator is used to help identify price trends and changes in price trends. The Zig Zag indicator plots points on a chart whenever prices reverse by a percentage greater than a Deviation variable. Straight lines are then drawn, connecting these points. The Zig Zag indicator serves base for PitchFan and Fibonacci Retracements / Extensions

Bitcoin Bulls and Bears by @dbtrBitcoin 🔥 Bulls & Bears 🔥
v1.0
This free-of-charge BTC market analysis indicator helps you better understand what's going with Bitcoin from a high-level perspective. At a glance, it will give you an immediate understanding of Bitcoin’s historic price channel dating back to 2011, past and current market cycles, as well as current key support levels.
Usage
Use this indicator with any BTCUSD pairs , ideally with a long price history (such as BNC:BLX )
We recommend to use this indicator in log mode, combined with Weekly or Monthly timeframe.
Features
🕵🏻♂️ Historic price channel curve since 2011
🚨 Bull & bear market cycles (dynamic)
🔥 All-time highs (dynamic)
🌟 Weekly support (dynamic, based on 20 SMA )
💪 Long-term support (channel bottom)
🔝 Potential future price targets (dynamic)
❎ Overbought RSI coloring
📏 Log/non-log support
🌚 Dark mode support
Remarks
With exception of the price channel curve, anything in this indicator is calculated dynamically , including bull/bear market cycles (based on a tweaked 20SMA), ATHs, and so on. As a result, historic market cycles may not be 100% accurately reflected and may also differ slightly in between various time-frames (closest result: Monthly). The indicator may even consider periods of heavy ups/downs as their own market cycles, even though they weren’t. Due to its dynamic nature, this indicator can however adapt to the future and helps you quickly identify potential changes in market structure, even if the indicator is no longer updated.
On top of that bullmarket cycles (colored in green) feature an ingrained RSI: the darker the green color, the more the RSI is overbought and close to a correction (darkest color in the chart = 90 Weekly RSI). In comparison with past bull cycles, it helps you easily spot potential reversal zones.
Thanks
Thanks to @quantadelic and @mabonyi which both have worked on the BTC "growth zones" indicator including the price channel, of which I have used parts of the code as well as the actual price channel data.

Moving RegressionMoving Regression is a generalization of moving average and polynomial regression.
The procedure approximates a specified number of prior data points with a polynomial function of a user-defined degree. Then, polynomial interpolation of the last data point is used to construct a Moving Regression time series.
Application:
Moving Regression allows one to smooth noise on the analyzed chart, assess momentum, confirm trends, and establish areas of support and resistance.
In addition, it can be used as a simple stand-alone forecasting method to identify trend direction and trend reversal points. When the local polynomial is predicted to move up in the next time step, the color of the Moving Regression curve will be green. Otherwise, the color of the curve is red. This function is (de)activated using the Predict Trend Direction flag.
Selecting the model parameters:
The effects of the moving window Length and the Local Polynomial Degree are confounded. This allows for finding the optimal trade-off between noise (variance) and lag (bias). Higher Length and lower Polynomial Degree (such as 1, i.e. linear), will result in "smoother" time series but at the cost of greater lag. Increasing the Polynomial Degree to, for example, 2 (squared) while maintaining the Length will diminish the lag and thus compromise the noise-lag tradeoff.
Relation to other methods:
When the degree of the local polynomial is set to 0 (i.e., fitting data to a constant level), the Moving Regression time series exactly matches the Simple Moving Average of the same length.
ALL TIME HIGHHH BTC!
Ola Amigos,
Weekly indicator.
This indicator, more commonly called "the Pi indicator", is based on the use of two moving averages: mm50 and mm16.
By dividing a mm50 in order to try to get as close as possible to PI, we fall back on mm16.
50/16 = 3.13
When the white curve passes above the blue curve, we are on historic highs.
It is very easy to test on the BLX, being the graph with the most history.
We can say thank you to JDC for this nice discovery which remains very useful for the rest of the BTC run.
Love!
Ola Amigos,
Weekly indicator.
Cet indicateur, plus communément appelé "the Pi indicator" est basé sur l'utilisation de deux moyennes mobiles : mm50 et mm16.
En divisant une mm50 afin de chercher a essayer de se rapprocher le plus pres de PI, on retombe sur la mm16.
50/16= 3.13
Lorsque la courbe blanche passe au dessus de la courbe bleue, on se trouve sur des plus hauts historiques.
Il est très facile a tester sur le BLX , étant le graph avec le plus d'historique.
On peut dire merci a JDC pour cette jolie découverte qui reste tres utile pour la suite du run BTC .
Love!
EMA21 Speed & AccelThe script calculates an plots first and second derivatives of a EMA of "length" periods, with a default value of 21 periods.
- Blue curve is the first derivative of the EMA, which can be interpreted as the "speed" , "slope", or percentage of gains (or loses) walking over the EMA, measured in % per period. If timeframe is Days, it will show a %/day on the scale @ the right of graphic.
- Fuchsia curve is the second derivative of the EMA, and can be assumed to be the "acceleration" or driving force that could augment or diminish the EMA Speed.
When Speed & Acceleration ar both >=0, EMA is in positive rally, and becoming stepper, so the bacground is colored green.
First and second derivatoves are performed using "basis functions", as are applied in FEM implementation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
El Script calcula y plotea la primera y segunga derivada de una EMA de "length" períodos, con un valor por defecto de 21.
- La curva azul es la primera derivada de la EMA; que puede ser interpretada conmo su "velocidad", "pendiente" o % de ganancia o pérdida que se tendría sobre la EMA. Cuando la unidad de tiempo del gráfico es Días, permite visualizar en la escala de la derecha el % de ganancia o pérdida por día.
- La curva Fucsia muestra la segunda derivada, o "Aceleración", que se puede interpretar como la fuerza que puede aumentar o dismu¿inuir la pendiente de la EMA.
Cuando la Velocidad y Aceleración son mayores que cero, las ganancias aumentan cada período, y el findo de colorea de verde.
Las derivadas primera y segunda se calculan usando técnicas de funciones de forma, como las aplicadas en el MEF.
VAMA Volume Adjusted Moving AverageRichard Arms' Volume Adjusted Moving Average
Settings:
• Inp Avg Vol: Input - Purist method but not intended for live analysis, to retroactively alter MA curve enter Avg Vol from value shown on label into Use Avg Vol field.
• Inp Avg Vol: Current - Live method using current volume , to retroactively alter past MA curve toggle any setting back and forth to force recalculation.
• Inp Avg Vol: Subset - Similar to Current, but uses a subset rather than all bars for avg vol.
• Use Avg Vol - Used for Inp Avg Vol: Input mode. Enter volume from Avg Vol label here after each new bar closes, label will turn green, else red.
• Subset Data - Lookback length used for Inp Avg Vol: Subset mode.
• VAMA Length - Specified number of volume ratio buckets to be reached.
• Volume Incr - Size of volume ratio buckets.
• VAMA Source - Price used for volume weighted calculations.
• VAMA Strict - Must meet desired volume requirements, even if N bars has to exceed VAMA Length to do it.
• Show Avg Vol Label - Displays label on chart of total chart volume.
Notes: VAMA was created by Richard Arms. It utilizes a period length that is based on volume increments rather than time. It is an unusual indicator in that it cannot be used in some platforms in realtime mode as Arms had originally intended. VAMA requires that the average volume first be calculated for the entire chart duration, then that average volume is used to derive the variable adaptive length of the moving average. The consequence of this is that with each new bar, the new average volume alters the moving average period for the entire history. Since Pine scripts evaluate all historical bars only once upon initial script execution, there is no way to automatically shift the previous moving average values retroactively once a new bar has formed. Thus the historical plot of the moving average cannot be updated in realtime, but instead can only plot through previous bar that existed upon load or reinitialization through changing some setting.
Setting Use Avg Vol to Input mode the average volume through previous bar shown in label can be entered (input) into the Inp Avg Vol setting after each new bar closes. Entering this total chart volume forces the script to reevaluate historical bars which in turn allows the historical moving average to update the plot. When using Input mode the color of the label is green when Inp Avg Vol value matches current label value, the label color red signifies Inp Avg Vol value has not been entered or is stale.
Setting Use Avg Vol to Current mode allows the script to correctly calculate and plot the correct moving average upon initial load and the realtime moving average moving forward, but can not retroactively alter the plot of the past moving average unless some change is made in the script settings, such as toggling the Use Avg Vol from Current to some other choice and then back to Current .
Setting Use Avg Vol to Subset mode uses a rolling window of volume data to calculate the average volume and can be used in realtime, but should be noted it is a deviation from Richard Arms' original specification.

Shapeshifting Moving Average - Switching From Low-Lag To SmoothThe term "shapeshifting" is more appropriate when used with something with a shape that isn't supposed to change, this is not the case of a moving average whose shape can be altered by the length setting or even by an external factor in the case of adaptive moving averages, but i'll stick with it since it describe the purpose of the proposed moving average pretty well.
In the case of moving averages based on convolution, their properties are fully described by the moving average kernel ( set of weights ), smooth moving averages tend to have a symmetrical bell shaped kernel, while low lag moving averages have negative weights. One of the few moving averages that would let the user alter the shape of its kernel is the Arnaud Legoux moving average, which convolve the input signal with a parametric gaussian function in which the center and width can be changed by the user, however this moving average is not a low-lagging one, as the weights don't include negative values.
Other moving averages where the user can change the kernel from user settings where already presented, i posted a lot of them, but they only focused on letting the user decrease or increase the lag of the moving average, and didn't included specific parameters controlling its smoothness. This is why the shapeshifting moving average is proposed, this parametric moving average will let the user switch from a smooth moving average to a low-lagging one while controlling the amount of lag of the moving average.
Settings/Kernel Interaction
Note that it could be possible to design a specific kernel function in order to provide a more efficient approach to today goal, but the original indicator was a simple low-lag moving average based on a modification of the second derivative of the arc tangent function and because i judged the indicator a bit boring i decided to include this parametric particularity.
As said the moving average "kernel", who refer to the set of weights used by the moving average, is based on a modification of the second derivative of the arc tangent function, the arc tangent function has a "S" shaped curve, "S" shaped functions are called sigmoid functions, the first derivative of a sigmoid function is bell shaped, which is extremely nice in order to design smooth moving averages, the second derivative of a sigmoid function produce a "sinusoid" like shape ( i don't have english words to describe such shape, let me know if you have an idea ) and is great to design bandpass filters.
We modify this 2nd derivative in order to have a decreasing function with negative values near the end, and we end up with:
The function is parametric, and the user can change it ( thus changing the properties of the moving average ) by using the settings, for example an higher power value would reduce the lag of the moving average while increasing overshoots. When power < 3 the moving average can act as a slow moving average in a moving average crossover system, as weights would not include negative values.
Here power = 0 and length = 50. The shapeshifting moving average can approximate a simple moving average with very low power values, as this would make the kernel approximate a rectangular function, however this is only a curiosity and not something you should do.
As A Smooth Moving Average
“So smooth, and so tranquil. It doesn't get any quieter than this”
A smooth moving average kernel should be : symmetrical, not to width and not to sharp, bell shaped curve are often appropriates, the proposed moving average kernel can be symmetrical and can return extremely smooth results. I will use the Blackman filter as comparison.
The smooth version of the moving average can be used when the "smooth" setting is selected. Here power can only be an even number, if power is odd, power will be equal to the nearest lowest even number. When power = 0, the kernel is simply a parabola:
More smoothness can be achieved by using power = 2
In red the shapeshifting moving average, in green a Blackman filter of both length = 100. Higher values of power will create lower negative values near the border of the kernel shape, this often allow to retain information about the peaks and valleys in the input signal. Power = 6 approximate the Blackman filter pretty well.
Conclusion
A moving average using a modification of the 2nd derivative of the arc tangent function as kernel has been presented, the kernel is parametric and allow the user to switch from a low-lag moving average where the lag can be increased/decreased to a really smooth moving average.
As you can see once you get familiar with a function shape, you can know what would be the characteristics of a moving average using it as kernel, this is where you start getting intimate with moving averages.
On a side note, have you noticed that the views counter in posted ideas/indicators has been removed ? This is truly a marvelous idea don't you think ?

Grand Trend Forecasting - A Simple And Original Approach Today we'll link time series forecasting with signal processing in order to provide an original and funny trend forecasting method, the post share lot of information, if you just want to see how to use the indicator then go to the section "Using The Indicator".
Time series forecasting is an area dealing with the prediction of future values of a series by using a specific model, the model is the main tool that is used for forecasting, and is often an expression based on a set of predictor terms and parameters, for example the linear regression (model) is a 1st order polynomial (expression) using 2 parameters and a predictor variable ax + b . Today we won't be using the linear regression nor the LSMA.
In time series analysis we can describe the time series with a model, in the case of the closing price a simple model could be as follows :
Price = Trend + Cycles + Noise
The variables of the model are the components, such model is additive since we add the component with each others, we should be familiar with each components of the model, the trend represent a simple long term variation of high amplitude, the cycles are periodic fluctuations centered around 0 of varying period and amplitude, the noise component represent shorter term irregular variations with mean 0.
As a trader we are mostly interested by the cycles and the trend, altho the cycles are relatively more technical to trade and can constitute parasitic fluctuations (think about retracements in a trend affecting your trend indicator, causing potential false signals).
If you are curious, in signal processing combining components has a specific name, "synthesis" , here we are dealing with additive synthesis, other type of synthesis are more specific to audio processing and are relatively more complex, but could be used in technical analysis.
So what to do with our components ? If we want to trade the trend, we should estimate right ? Estimating the trend component involve removing the cycle and noise component from the price, if you have read stuff about filters you should know where i'am going, yep, we should use filters, in the case of keeping the trend we can use a simple moving average of relatively high period, and here we go.
However the lag problem, which is recurrent, come back again, we end up with information easier to interpret (here the trend, which is a simple fluctuation such as a line or other smooth curve) at the cost of decision timing, that is unfortunate but as i said the information, here the moving average output, is relatively simple, and could be easily forecasted right ? If you plot a moving average of high period it would be easier for you to forecast its future values. And thats what we aim to do today, provide an estimate of the trend that should be easy to forecast, and should fit to the price relatively well in order to produce forecast that could determine the position of future closing prices observations.
Estimating And Forecasting The Trend
The parameter of the indicator dealing with the estimation of the trend is length , with higher values of length attenuating the cycle and noise component in the price, note however that high values of length can return a really long term trend unlike a simple moving average, so a small value of length, 14 for example can still produce relatively correct estimate of trend.
here length = 14.
The rough estimate of the trend is t in the code, and is an IIR filter, that is, it is based on recursion. Now i'll pass on the filter design explanation but in short, weights are constants, with higher weights allocated to the previous length values of the filter, you can see on the code that the first part of t is similar to an exponential moving average with :
t(n) = 0.9t(n-length) + 0.1*Price
However while the EMA only use the precedent value for the recursion, here we use the precedent length value, this would just output a noisy and really slow output, therefore in order to create a better fit we add : 0.9*(t(n-length) - t(n-2length)) , and this create the rough trend estimate that you can see in blue. On the parameters, 0.9 is used since it gives the best estimate in my opinion, higher values would create more periodic output and lower values would just create a rougher output.
The blue line still contain a residual of the cycle/noise component, this is why it is smoothed with a simple moving average of period length. If you are curious, a filter estimating the trend but still containing noisy fluctuations is called "Notch" filter, such filter would depending on the cutoff remove/attenuate mid term cyclic fluctuations while preserving the trend and the noise, its the opposite of a bandpass filter.
In order to forecast values, we simply sum our trend estimate with the trend estimate change with period equal to the forecasting horizon period, this is a really really simple forecasting method, but it can produce decent results, it can also allows the forecast to start from the last point of the trend estimate.
Using The Indicator
We explained the length parameter in the precedent section, src is the input series which the trend is estimated, forecast determine the forecasting horizon, recommend values for forecast should be equal to length, length/2 or length*2, altho i strongly recommend length.
here length and forecast are both equal to 14 .
The corrective parameter affect the trend estimate, it reduce the overshoot and can led to a curve that might fit better to the price.
The indicator with the non corrective version above, and the corrective one below.
The source parameter determine the source of the forecast, when "Noisy" is selected the source is the blue line, and produce a noisy forecast, when "Smooth" is selected the source is the moving average of t , this create a smoother forecast.
The width interval control...the width of the intervals, they can be seen above and under the forecast plot, they are constructed by adding/subtracting the forecast with the forecast moving average absolute error with respect to the price. Prediction intervals are often associated with a probability (determining the probability of future values being between the interval) here we can't determine such probability with accuracy, this require (i think) an analysis of the forecasting distribution as well as assumptions on the distribution of the forecasting error.
Finally it is possible to see historical forecasts, that is, forecasts previously generated by checking the "Show Historical Forecasts" option.
Examples
Good forecasts mostly occur when the price is close to the trend estimate, this include the following highlighted periods on AMD 15TF with default settings :
We can see the same thing at the end of EURUSD :
However we can't always obtain suitable fits, here it is isn't sufficient on BTCUSD :
We can see wide intervals, we could change length or use the corrective option to get better results, another option is to use a log scale.
We will end the examples with the log SPX, who posses a linear trend, so for example a linear model such as a linear regression would be really adapted, lets see how the indicator perform :
Not a great fit, we could try to use an higher length value and use "Smooth" :
Most recent fits are quite decent.
Conclusions
A forecasting indicator has been presented in this post. The indicator use an original approach toward estimating the trend component in the closing price. Of course i should have given statistics related to the forecasting error, however such analysis is worth doing with better methods and in more advanced environment allowing for optimization.
But we have learned some stuff related to signal processing as well as time series analysis, seeing a time series as the sum of various components is really helpful when it comes to make sense of chaotic and noisy series and is a basic topic in time series analysis.
You can see that in this new year i work harder on the visual of my indicators without trying to fall in the label addict trap, something that i wasn't really doing before, let me know what do you think of it.

Trend Following or Mean RevertingThe strategy checks nature of the instruments. It Buys if the close is greater than yesterday's high, reverse the position if the close is lower than yesterday's low and repeat the process.
1. If it is trend following then the equity curve will be in uptrend
2. If it is mean reverting then the equity curve will be downtrend
Thanks to Rayner Teo.
Grover Llorens Activator [alexgrover & Lucía Llorens] Trailing stops play a key role in technical analysis and are extremely popular trend following indicators. Their main strength lie in their ability to minimize whipsaws while conserving a decent reactivity, the most popular ones include the Supertrend, Parabolic SAR and Gann Hilo activator. However, and like many indicators, most trailing stops assume an infinitely long trend, which penalize their ability to provide early exit points, this isn't the case of the parabolic SAR who take this into account and thus converge toward the price at an increasing speed the longer a trend last.
Today a similar indicator is proposed. From an original idea of alexgrover & Lucía Llorens who wanted to revisit the classic parabolic SAR indicator, the Llorens activator aim to converge toward the price the longer a trend persist, thus allowing for potential early and accurate exit points. The code make use of the idea behind the price curve channel that you can find here :
I tried to make the code as concise as possible.
The Indicator
The indicator posses 2 user settings, length and mult , length control the rate of convergence of the indicator, with higher values of length making the indicator output converge more slowly toward the price. Mult is also related with the rate of convergence, basically once the price cross the trailing stop its value will become equal to the previous trailing stop value plus/minus mult*atr depending on the previous trailing stop value, therefore higher values of mult will require more time for the trailing stop to reach the closing price, use higher values of mult if you want to avoid potential whipsaws.
Above the indicator with slow convergence time (high length) and low mult.
Points with early exit points are highlighted.
Usage For Oscillators
The difference between the closing price and an overlay indicator can provide an oscillator with characteristics depending on the indicators used for differencing, Lucía Llorens stated that we should find indicators for differencing that highlight the cycles in the price, in other terms : Price - Signal , where we want to find Signal such that we maximize the visibility of the cycles, it can be demonstrated that in the case where the closing price is an additive model : Trend + Cycles + Noise , the zero lag estimation of the Trend component can allow for the conservation of the cycle and noise component, that is : Price - Estimate(Trend) , for example the difference between the price and moving average isn't optimal because of the moving average lag, instead the use of zero lag moving averages is more suitable, however the proposed indicator allow for a surprisingly good representation of the cycles when using differencing.
The normalization of this oscillator (via the RSI) allow to make the peak amplitude of the cycles more constant. Note however that such method can return an output with a sign inverse to the one of the original cycle component.
Conclusion
We proposed an indicator which share the logic of the SAR indicator, that is using convergence toward the price in order to provide early exit points detection. We have seen that this indicator can be used to highlight cycles when used for differencing and i don't exclude publishing more indicators based on this method.
Lucía Llorens has been a great person to work with, and provided enormous feedback and support while i was coding the indicator, this is why i include her in the indicator name as well as copyright notice. I hope we can make more indicators togethers in the future.
(altho i was against using buy/sells labels xD !)

Yope BTC PL channelThis is a new version of the old "Yope BTC tops channel", but modified to reflect a power-law curve fitted, similar to the model proposed by Harold Christopher Burger in his medium article "Bitcoin’s natural long-term power-law corridor of growth".
My original tops channel fitting is still there for comparison. In fact, it looks like the old tops channel was a bit too pessimistic.
Note that these channels are still pure naive curve-fitting, and do not represent an underlying model that explains it, like is the case for PlanB's "Modeling Bitcoin's Value with Scarcity" which uses Stock-to-Flow.
The motivation for this exercise is to observe how long this empirical extrapolation is valid. Will the price of bitcoin stay in either of both channels?
Note on usage: This script _only_ works with the BLX "BraveNewCoin Liquid Index for Bitcoin" in the 1D, 3D and 1W time-frames!
It may be necessary to zoom in and out a few times to overcome drawing glitches caused by the extreme time-shifting of plots in order to draw the extrapolated part.
The Vostro Indicator by KIVANÇ fr3762The VOSTRO indicator is a trend indicator that automatically provides buying and selling signals. The indicator marks in a window the potential turning points. The indicator is recommended for scalping.
The Vostro indicator determines the overbought zones (value greater than +80) and the oversold zones (less than the -80 level)
BUY signal: The Vostro curve moves below the -80 level and forms a trough – Turnaround of the upward trend
SELL signal: The Vostro curve moves above the +80 level and forms a peak – Downward trend

Advanced PSAR v1 [wm]A port off Dennis Meyers Advance PSAR outlined in Stocks and Commodities V13:4
The shape, slope and speed of the SAR is controlled by three parameters: the starting acceleration factor (AF), the increment that the AF can change when a new price high or low is made, and the maximum AF. Because of the way the SAR is calculated, the shape of the SAR curve resembles a parabola - hence its name.
Most software packages only allow the user to vary the AF increment and the AF maximum, fixing the starting AF at 0.02. This restriction hampers the trend-following abilities of the parabolic.
Frequently as the SAR hugs the price curve, it is penetrated by a price bar by a minuscule amount, causing the SAR to generate an opposite signal. The price then immediately turns around and resumes going in the direction it was going before this penetration occurred, causing a costly whipsaw loss.
Many of the whipsaw losses are caused by noise or randomness in the price series. Thus, if the SAR is to represent the trend of a real price series, it must have the capability to ignore penetrations of noise level amounts. To this end, I have modified the parabolic SAR formula to include a variable that allows the SAR not to reverse unless penetrated by a defined amount. This new parameter is defined as ‘XO Increment’ for crossover increment
This version is configured for pips. If using on other assets with much larger values should be used. Also note the starting values have not been optimised. Should users of this script find good values please comment and share with the community if you could
ALMA Trend DirectionHere is a very simple tool that uses the Arnaud Legoux Moving Average(ALMA). The ALMA is based on a normal distribution and is a reliable moving average due to its ability to reduce lag while still keeping a high degree of smoothness.
Input Options:
-Offset : Value in range {0,1} that adjusts the curve of the Gaussian Distribution. A higher value will result in higher responsiveness but lower smoothness. A lower value will mean higher smoothness but less responsiveness.
-Length : The lookback window for the ALMA calculation.
-Sigma : Defines the sharpe of the curve coefficients.
I find that this indicator is best used with a longer length and a 4 Hour timeframe. Overall, its purpose is to help identify the direction of a trend and determine whether a security is in an uptrend or a downtrend. For this purpose, it is best to use a lower offset value since we are looking to identify long-term, significant price movement rather than small fluctuations.
The Chart:
The ALMA is plotted as the aqua and pink alternating line. It is aqua when bullish and pink when bearish.
The low price for each candle is then compared to the ALMA. If the low is greater than the ALMA, then there is a bullish trend and the area between the candles and ALMA is filled green. The area between the ALMA and candles is filled red when the low price is less than the ALMA.
The difference between the slow ALMA and candles can reveal a lot about the current market state. If there is a significant green gap between the two, then we know that there is a significant uptrend taking place. On the other hand, a large red gap would indicate a significant downtrend. Similarly, if the gap between the two is narrowing and the ALMA line switches from aqua to pink, then we know that a reversal could be coming shortly.
~Happy Trading~
Double ALMAIncludes fast and slow Arnaud Legoux Moving Averages (ALMA). ALMA is a moving average based on a Gaussian(normal) distribution that reduces lag while still retaining smoothness.
Input Options:
-Offset : Value in range {0,1} that adjusts the curve of the Gaussian Distribution. A higher value will result in higher responsiveness but lower smoothness. A lower value will mean higher smoothness but less responsiveness.
-Lengths : The lookback for each ALMA calculation.
-Sigma : Defines the sharpe of the curve coefficients.
The slow ALMA is the thickest red and green alternating line that indicates bullish or bearish movement. When slow ALMA is bullish, the graph's background changes to green. When the slow ALMA is bearish, the background is red.
The fast ALMA uses a smaller lookback and is more responsive than the slow ALMA as a result of the shorter length and higher default offset parameter.
The two dotted lines represent (slowALMA +/- 1.25 * stdev(slowALMA, slowALMA period *2)).
The indicator bases its buy and sell signals based on the trend identified by the slow ALMA and the fast ALMA's crossings of the standard deviation bands.
Comes with pre-set buy and sell alerts.
Modified Gann HiLo ActivatorIntroduction
The gann hilo activator is a trend indicator developed by Robert Krausz published into W. D. Gann Treasure Discovered: Simple Trading Plans for Stocks & Commodities . This indicator crate a trailing stop aiming to show the direction of the trend.
This indicator is fairly easy to compute and dont require lot of skills to understand. First we calculate the simple moving average of both price high and price low, when the close price is higher than the moving average of the price high the indicator return the moving average of the price low, else the indicator return the moving average of the price high if the close price is lower than the moving average of the price low.
My indicator add a different calculation method in order to avoid whipsaw trades as well as adding significance to the moving average length. A Median method has been added to provide more robustness.
The Indicator
The indicator is a simple trailing stop aiming to show the direction of the trend. The indicator use a different source instead of the price high/low for its calculation. The first method is the "SMA" method which like the classic hilo indicator use a simple moving average for the calculation of the indicator.
Sma Method with length = 25
The "Median" use a moving median instead of a simple moving average, this provide more robustness.
Median Method with length = 25
The shape is less curved and the indicator can sometimes avoid whipsaw with high's length periods.
Mult Parameter
The mult parameter is a parameter set to be lower or equal to 1 and greater or equal to 0. High values allow the indicator to be far from the price thus avoiding whipsaw trades, lower ones lower the distance from the price. A mult parameter of 0.1 approximate the original hilo indicator.
In blue the indicator with mult = 0.1 and in radical red the original hilo activator.
Conclusion
The modifications allow more control over the indicator as well as adding more robustness while the original one is destined to fail when market price is more complex.

Quadratic Regression Slope [DW]This is a study geared toward identifying price trends using Quadratic regression.
Quadratic regression is the process of finding the equation of a parabola that best fits the set of data being analyzed.
In this study, first a quadratic regression curve is calculated, then the slope of the curve is calculated and plotted.
Custom bar colors are included. The color scheme is based on whether the slope is positive or negative, and whether it is increasing or decreasing.
XPloRR MA-Trailing-Stop StrategyXPloRR MA-Trailing-Stop Strategy
Long term MA-Trailing-Stop strategy with Adjustable Signal Strength to beat Buy&Hold strategy
None of the strategies that I tested can beat the long term Buy&Hold strategy. That's the reason why I wrote this strategy.
Purpose: beat Buy&Hold strategy with around 10 trades. 100% capitalize sold trade into new trade.
My buy strategy is triggered by the fast buy EMA (blue) crossing over the slow buy SMA curve (orange) and the fast buy EMA has a certain up strength.
My sell strategy is triggered by either one of these conditions:
the EMA(6) of the close value is crossing under the trailing stop value (green) or
the fast sell EMA (navy) is crossing under the slow sell SMA curve (red) and the fast sell EMA has a certain down strength.
The trailing stop value (green) is set to a multiple of the ATR(15) value.
ATR(15) is the SMA(15) value of the difference between the high and low values.
The scripts shows a lot of graphical information:
The close value is shown in light-green. When the close value is lower then the buy value, the close value is shown in light-red. This way it is possible to evaluate the virtual losses during the trade.
the trailing stop value is shown in dark-green. When the sell value is lower then the buy value, the last color of the trade will be red (best viewed when zoomed)(in the example, there are 2 trades that end in gain and 2 in loss (red line at end))
the EMA and SMA values for both buy and sell signals are shown as a line
the buy and sell(close) signals are labeled in blue
How to use this strategy?
Every stock has it's own "DNA", so first thing to do is tune the right parameters to get the best strategy values voor EMA , SMA, Strength for both buy and sell and the Trailing Stop (#ATR).
Look in the strategy tester overview to optimize the values Percent Profitable and Net Profit (using the strategy settings icon, you can increase/decrease the parameters)
Then keep using these parameters for future buy/sell signals only for that particular stock.
Do the same for other stocks.
Important : optimizing these parameters is no guarantee for future winning trades!
Here are the parameters:
Fast EMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 10-20)
Slow SMA Buy: buy trigger when Fast EMA Buy crosses over the Slow SMA Buy value (use values between 30-100)
Minimum Buy Strength: minimum upward trend value of the Fast SMA Buy value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120)
Fast EMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 10-20)
Slow SMA Sell: sell trigger when Fast EMA Sell crosses under the Slow SMA Sell value (use values between 30-100)
Minimum Sell Strength: minimum downward trend value of the Fast SMA Sell value (directional coefficient)(use values between 0-120)
Trailing Stop (#ATR): the trailing stop value as a multiple of the ATR(15) value (use values between 2-20)
Example parameters for different stocks (Start capital: 1000, Order=100% of equity, Period 1/1/2005 to now) compared to the Buy&Hold Strategy(=do nothing):
BEKB(Bekaert): EMA-Buy=12, SMA-Buy=44, Strength-Buy=65, EMA-Sell=12, SMA-Sell=55, Strength-Sell=120, Stop#ATR=20

Donchian Channel Trend Intensity [DW]This is an experimental study designed to analyze trend intensity using two Donchian Channels.
The DCTI curve is calculated by comparing the differences between Donchian highs and lows over a major an minor period, and expressing them as a positive and negative percentage.
The curve is then smoothed with an exponential moving average to provide a signal line.
Custom bar colors included with two coloring methods to choose from.
AWESOME OSCILLATOR V2 by KIVANCfr3762AWESOME OSCILLATOR V2 by KIVANC @fr3762
CONVERTING THE OSCILLATOR to a curved line and added a 7 period SMA as a signal line,
crosses are BUY or SELL signals like in MACD
Buy: when AO line crosses above signal line
Sell: when Signal line crosses above AO line
Stefan Krecher: Jeddingen DivergenceThe main idea is to identify a divergence between momentum and price movement. E.g. if the momentum is rising but price is going down - this is what we call a divergence. The divergence will be calculated by comparing the direction of the linear regression curve of the price with the linear regression curve of momentum.
A bearish divergence can be identified by a thick red line, a bullish divergence by a green line.
When there is a divergence, it is likeley that the current trend will change it's direction.
Looking at the chart, there are three divergences that need to get interpreted:
1) bearish divergence, RSI is overbought but MACD does not clearly indicate a trend change. Right after the divergence, price and momentum are going up. No clear signal for a sell trade
2) bearish divergence, RSI still overbought, MACD histogram peaked, MACD crossed the signal line, price and momentum are going down. Very clear constellation for a sell trade.
3) two bullish diverences, RSI is oversold, MACD crossover near the end of the second divergence, price and momentum started rising. Good constellation for a buy trade. Could act as exit signal for the beforementioned sell trade.
More information on the Jeddingen Divergence is available here: www.forexpython.com
Power Law Correlation Indicator 2.0 The Power Law Correlation Indicator is an attempt to chart when a stock/currency/futures contract goes parabolic forming a upward or downward curve that accelerates according to power laws.
I've read about power laws from Sornette Diedler ( www.marketcalls.in ). And I think the theory is a good one.
The idea behind this indicator is that it will rise to 1.0 as the curve resembles a parabolic up or down swing. When it is below zero, the stock will flatten out.
There are many ways to use this indicator. One way I am testing it out is in trading Strangles or Straddle option trades. When this indicator goes below zero and starts to turn around, it means that it has flattened out. This is like a squeeze indicator. (see the TTM squeeze indicator).
Since this indicator goes below zero and the squeeze plays tend to be mean-reverting; then its a great time to put on a straddle/strangle.
Another way to use it is to think of it in terms of trend strength. Think of it as a kind of ADX, that measures the trend strength. When it is rising, the trend is strong; when it is dropping, the trend is weak.
Lastly I think this indicator needs some work. I tried to put the power (x^n) function into it but my coding skill is limited. I am hoping that Lazy Bear or Ricardo Santos can do it some justice.
Also I think that if we can figure out how to do other power law graphs, perhaps we can plot them together on one indicator.
So far I really like this one for finding Strangle spots. So check it out.
Peace
