ETHE Premium SmoothedThis script visualizes the "premium" or "deflection" between the price of Ethereum in a fund (ETHE) and the price of Ethereum itself. It's used to detect when the ETHE fund is trading at a significant premium or discount compared to the actual value of Ethereum it represents.
Components:
Two-Pole Smoothing Function: This function acts as a filter to smoothen data, specifically the calculated deflection. Using a combination of exponential math and trigonometry, the function reduces the noise from the raw deflection data, providing a clearer view of the trend.
ETH Per Share: A constant that represents the amount of Ethereum backing each share of ETHE.
Tickers: The script fetches data for two tickers:
ETHE ticker from OTC markets.
Ethereum's ticker from Coinbase.
Deflection Calculation: This represents the difference between the price of one share of ETHE and its actual value in Ethereum. This percentage gives an idea of how much more or less the ETHE is trading compared to its intrinsic Ethereum value.
Smoothing: The raw deflection data is then passed through the Two-Pole Smoothing function to produce the "smoothed" deflection curve.
Visuals:
A horizontal dashed red line at 0%, indicating the point where ETHE trades exactly at its intrinsic Ethereum value.
A plot of the smoothed deflection, with its color changing based on whether the value is above or below zero (green for above, red for below).
Usage:
Traders can use this script to identify potential buy or sell opportunities. For instance, if ETHE is trading at a significant discount (a negative deflection value), it might be an attractive buying opportunity, assuming the discrepancy will eventually correct itself. Conversely, if ETHE is trading at a significant premium (a positive deflection value), it might indicate a potential overvaluation.

[blackcat] L3 CCI-RSI ComboCCI-RSI Combo indicator is a combination indicator that includes CCI and RSI. It uses some parameters to calculate the values of CCI and RSI, and generates corresponding charts based on these values. On the chart, when CCI exceeds 100 or falls below -100, yellow or magenta filling areas are displayed. Additionally, gradient colors are used on the RSI chart to represent different value ranges. Based on the values of CCI and RSI, buying or selling signals can be identified and "B" or "S" labels are displayed at the corresponding positions. It utilizes some technical indicators and logic to generate buying and selling signals, and displays the corresponding labels on the chart.
Here are the main parts of the code:
1. Definition of some variables:
- `N`, `M`, `N1`: Parameters used to calculate CCI and RSI.
- `xcn(cond, len)` and `xex(cond, len)`: Two functions used to calculate the number of times a condition is met.
2. Calculation of CCI (Commodity Channel Index):
- Calculate the CCI value based on the formula `(TYP - ta.sma(TYP, M)) / (0.015 * ta.stdev(TYP, M))`.
- Use the `plot()` function to plot CCI on the chart and set the color based on its value.
3. Calculation of RSI (Relative Strength Index):
- First calculate RSI1 by taking the average of positive differences between closing prices and the average of all absolute differences, and then multiplying by 100.
- Then use the ALMA function to transform RSI1 into a smoother curve.
- Use the `plot()` function to plot RSI on the chart and select gradient colors for shading based on its value.
4. Setting up the gradient color array:
- Create a color array using `array.new_color()` and add a series of color values to it.
5. Generating buying and selling signals based on conditions:
- Use logical operators and technical indicator functions to determine the conditions for buying and selling.
- Use the `label.new()` function to draw the corresponding labels on the chart to represent buying or selling signals.
Supertrend Targets [ChartPrime]The Supertrend Targets indicator combines the concepts of trend-following with dynamic volatility-based target levels. It takes core simple and classical concepts and provides actionable insights. The core of this indicator revolves around the "Supertrend" algorithm, which essentially uses the Average True Range (ATR) and a multiplier to determine if the price of a financial instrument is in an uptrend or downtrend. The indicator generates various plot points on the trading chart, which traders can use to make informed trading decisions.
Users can set several input parameters such as the source price, custom levels, multiplier scale, length of the average true range, and the window length. Traders can also opt to enable a table that shows numeric target data by percentiles, risk ratio, take profit and stop loss points.
The generated plots and fills on the chart represent various levels of potential gains and drawdowns, acting as potential targets for taking profit or stopping losses. These include the 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, and 100th percentiles, which are adjustable by scale. There are also plots for average gain and drawdown levels, enhanced by standard deviation curves if enabled.
The Supertrend line indicators are color-coded for ease of understanding: blue for bullish performance and orange for bearish performance. The "Center Line" represents the point at which traders might consider entering a position.
Lastly, the script presents a summary table (when enabled) at the right side of the chart displaying numeric data of the plotted targets. This data provides additional insights on the risk-reward balance for each percentile, helping traders to execute their strategies more effectively.
Here's a comprehensive breakdown of its functionalities and features:
Inputs:
Source: Determines the price series type (e.g., Close, Open, High, Low, etc.).
Show Trailing Stop: Option to display the trailing stop on the chart.
Levels: Sets the number of target levels you want to display. Can range from -5 to 5.
Scale: A scaling factor for adjusting targets, can be between 1 to 100.
Window Length: Length for the target computation, determines how many bars will be considered.
Unique: Ensures every data point used in calculations is unique.
Multiplier: Multiplier for the ATR (Average True Range) to compute the SuperTrend.
ATR Length: Period for the ATR computation.
Custom Level: Allows users to set their own levels using various statistics like Average, Average + STDEV, Percentile, or can be disabled.
Percent Rank: Determines the percentile rank for targeting.
Enable Table: Enables or disables a table display.
Methods:
Flag: Identifies bullish and bearish trend reversals.
Target Percent: Determines the expected price movement (both gains and drawdowns) based on historical trend reversals.
Value Percent: Computes the percentage difference between the current price and the entry price during trend reversals.
Plots:
Multiple target lines are plotted on the chart to visualize potential gain and drawdown levels. These levels are adjusted based on user settings. Additionally, the main Supertrend line is plotted to indicate the prevailing trend direction.
Gain Levels: Target levels which show potential upside from the current price.
Drawdown Levels: Target levels which represent potential downside from the current price.
SuperTrend Line: A line that adjusts based on price volatility and trend direction, acting as a dynamic support or resistance.
In conclusion, the "Supertrend Targets " indicator is a powerful tool that combines the principle of trend-following with dynamic targets, providing traders with insights into potential future price movements. The range of customization options allows traders to adapt the indicator to different trading strategies and market conditions.
[blackcat] L1 Dynamic Volatility IndicatorThe volatility indicator (Volatility) is used to measure the magnitude and instability of price changes in financial markets or a specific asset. This thing is usually used to assess how risky the market is. The higher the volatility, the greater the fluctuation in asset prices, but brother, the risk is also relatively high! Here are some related terms and explanations:
- Historical Volatility: The actual volatility of asset prices over a certain period of time in the past. This thing is measured by calculating historical data.
- Implied Volatility: The volatility inferred from option market prices, used to measure market expectations for future price fluctuations.
- VIX Index (Volatility Index): Often referred to as the "fear index," it predicts the volatility of the US stock market within 30 days in advance. This is one of the most famous volatility indicators in global financial markets.
Volatility indicators are very important for investors and traders because they can help them understand how unstable and risky the market is, thereby making wiser investment decisions.
Today I want to introduce a volatility indicator that I have privately held for many years. It can use colors to judge sharp rises and falls! Of course, if you are smart enough, you can also predict some potential sharp rises and falls by looking at the trend!
In the financial field, volatility indicators measure the magnitude and instability of price changes in different assets. They are usually used to assess the level of market risk. The higher the volatility, the greater the fluctuation in asset prices and therefore higher risk. Historical Volatility refers to the actual volatility of asset prices over a certain period of time in the past, which can be measured by calculating historical data; while Implied Volatility is derived from option market prices and used to measure market expectations for future price fluctuations. In addition, VIX Index is commonly known as "fear index" and is used to predict volatility in the US stock market within 30 days. It is one of the most famous volatility indicators in global financial markets.
Volatility indicators are very important for investors and traders because they help them understand market uncertainty and risk, enabling them to make wiser investment decisions. The L1 Dynamic Volatility Indicator that I am introducing today is an indicator that measures volatility and can also judge sharp rises and falls through colors!
This indicator combines two technical indicators: Dynamic Volatility (DV) and ATR (Average True Range), displaying warnings about sharp rises or falls through color coding. DV has a slow but relatively smooth response, while ATR has a fast but more oscillating response. By utilizing their complementary characteristics, it is possible to construct a structure similar to MACD's fast-slow line structure. Of course, in order to achieve fast-slow lines for DV and ATR, first we need to unify their coordinate axes by normalizing them. Then whenever ATR's yellow line exceeds DV's purple line with both curves rapidly breaking through the threshold of 0.2, sharp rises or falls are imminent.
However, it is important to note that relying solely on the height and direction of these two lines is not enough to determine the direction of sharp rises or falls! Because they only judge the trend of volatility and cannot determine bull or bear markets! But it's okay, I have already considered this issue early on and added a magical gradient color band. When the color band gradually turns warm, it indicates a sharp rise; conversely, when the color band tends towards cool colors, it indicates a sharp fall! Of course, you won't see the color band in sideways consolidation areas, which avoids your involvement in unnecessary trades that would only waste your funds! This indicator is really practical and with it you can better assess market risks and opportunities!
RSI Primed [ChartPrime]
RSI Primed combines candlesticks, patterns, and the classic RSI indicator for advanced market trend indications
Introduction
Technical traders are always looking for innovative methods to pinpoint potential entry and exit points in the market. The RSI Prime indicator provides such traders with an enhanced view of market conditions by combining various charting styles and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It offers users a unique perspective on the market trends and price momentum, enabling them to make better-informed decisions and stay ahead of the market curve.
The RSI Primed is a versatile indicator that combines different charting styles with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to help traders analyze market trends and price momentum. It offers multiple visualization modes that serve specific purposes and provide unique insights into market performance:
Regular Candlesticks
Candlesticks with Patterns
Heikin Ashi Candles
Line Style
Regular Candlestick Mode
The Regular Candlestick Mode in RSI Primed depicts traditional Japanese candlesticks that most traders are familiar with. This mode bypasses any smoothing or modified calculations, representing real-price movements. Regular candlesticks offer a clear and straightforward way to visualize market trends and price action.
Candlestick with Patterns Mode
The Candlestick with Patterns Mode focuses on identifying high-probability candlestick patterns while incorporating RSI values. By leveraging the information captured by the RSI, this mode allows traders to spot significant market reversals or continuation patterns that could signal potential trading opportunities. Some recognizable patterns include engulfing bullish, engulfing bearish, morning star bullish, and evening star bearish patterns.
Heikin Ashi Candles Mode
The Heikin Ashi Candles Mode presents an advanced candlestick charting technique known for its excellent trend-following capabilities. Heikin Ashi Candles filter out noise in the market and provide a clear representation of market trends. In this mode, candlesticks are plotted based on RSI values of the open, high, low, and close prices, helping traders understand and utilize market trends effectively.
Line Style Mode
The Line Style Mode offers a simpler and minimalistic representation of the RSI values by using a line instead of candlesticks to visualize market trends. This mode helps traders focus on the overall trend direction and eliminates potential distractions caused by the complexity of candlestick patterns.
Candle Color Overlay Mode
The Candle Color Overlay Mode is a unique feature in the RSI Primed indicator that allows traders to visualize the RSI values on the chart's candles as a heat gradient. This mode adds a color overlay to the candlesticks, representing the RSI values in relation to the candlesticks' price action.
By displaying the RSI as a color gradient, traders can quickly assess market momentum and identify overbought or oversold conditions without having to switch between different modes or charts. The gradient ranges from cool colors (blue and green) for lower RSI values, indicating oversold conditions, to warm colors (orange and red) for higher RSI values, signifying overbought situations.
To enable the Candle Color Overlay Mode, traders can toggle the "Color Candles" option in the indicator settings. Once enabled, the color gradient will be applied to the candlesticks on the chart, providing a visually striking and informative representation of the RSI values in relation to price action. This mode can be used in tandem with any of the other charting styles, allowing traders to gain even more insights into market trends and momentum.
RSI Primed Implementation
The RSI Primed indicator combines the benefits of various charting styles with the RSI to help traders gain a comprehensive view of market trends and price momentum. It incorporates the Heikin Ashi and RSI values as inputs to generate several visualization modes, enabling traders to select the one that best suits their needs.
Chebyshev Digital Audio Filter in RSI Primed Indicator
A unique feature of the RSI Primed Indicator is the incorporation of the Chebyshev Digital Audio Filter, a powerful tool that significantly influences the indicator's accuracy and responsiveness. This signal processing method brings several benefits to the context of the RSI indicator, improving its performance and capabilities.
1. Improved Signal Filtering
The Chebyshev filter excels in its ability to remove high-frequency noise and unwanted signals from the RSI data. While other filtering techniques might introduce unwanted side effects or distort the RSI data, the Chebyshev filter accurately retains the main signal components, enhancing the RSI Primed's overall accuracy and reliability.
2. Faster Response Time
The Chebyshev filter offers a faster response time than most other filtering techniques. In the context of the RSI Primed Indicator, this means that the filtering process is quicker and more efficient, allowing traders to act swiftly during rapidly changing market conditions.
3. Enhanced Trend Detection
By effectively removing noise from the RSI data, the Chebyshev filter contributes to the enhanced detection of underlying market trends. This feature helps traders identify potential entry and exit points more accurately, improving their overall trading strategy and performance.
How to Use RSI Primed
Traders can choose from different visualization modes to suit their preferences while using the RSI Primed indicator. By closely monitoring the chosen visualization mode and the position of the moving average, traders can make informed decisions about market trends.
Green candlesticks or an upward line slope indicate a bullish trend, and red candlesticks or a downward line slope suggest a bearish trend. If the candles or line are above the moving average, it could signify an uptrend, whereas a position below the moving average may indicate a downtrend.
The RSI Primed indicator offers a unique and comprehensive perspective on market trends and price momentum by combining various charting styles with the RSI. Traders can choose from different visualization modes and make well-informed decisions to capitalize on market opportunities. This innovative indicator provides a clear and concise view of the market, enabling traders to make swift decisions and enhance their trading results.
Aggregate Medians [wbburgin]This indicator recursively finds the average of all high/low medians under your chosen length. This can be very, very helpful for analyzing trends where a moving average or a normal median would produce a bunch of false signals.
Settings:
The "Length" setting is the maximum median that you want the algorithm to add into the sum. The "Start at Period" setting is the the minimum median that you want the algorithm to take into account. Starting at a higher period means that the faster, more sensitive medians of lower lengths are not included, and will smooth out your curve.
I haven't seen many recursive algorithms on TradingView so feel free to use this script as inspiration for any of your ideas. In theory, you can essentially replace the median function with any other function - a moving average, a supertrend, or anything else.
The start must be lower than the length, because this is a sum from the start to the length of all medians in between.
Сoncentrated Market Maker Strategy by oxowlConcentrated Market Maker Strategy by oxowl. This script plots an upper and lower bound for liquidity provision, and checks for rebalancing conditions. It also includes alert conditions for when the price crosses the upper or lower bounds.
Here's an overview of the script:
It defines the input parameters: liquidity range percentage, rebalance frequency in minutes, and minimum trade size in assets.
It calculates the upper and lower bounds for liquidity provision based on the liquidity range percentage.
It initializes variables for the last rebalance time and price.
It defines a rebalance condition based on the frequency and current price within the specified range.
If the rebalance condition is met, it updates the last rebalance time and price.
It plots the upper and lower bounds on the chart as lines and adds price labels for both bounds.
It defines alert conditions for when the price crosses the upper or lower bounds.
Finally, it creates alert conditions with appropriate messages for when the price crosses the upper or lower bounds.
Concentrated liquidity is a concept often used in decentralized finance (DeFi) market-making strategies. It allows liquidity providers (LPs) to focus their liquidity within a specific price range, rather than across the entire price curve. Using an indicator with concentrated liquidity can offer several advantages:
Increased capital efficiency: Concentrated liquidity allows LPs to allocate their capital within a narrower price range. This means that the same amount of capital can generate more significant price impact and potentially higher returns compared to providing liquidity across a broader range.
Customized risk exposure: LPs can choose the price range they feel most comfortable with, allowing them to better manage their risk exposure. By selecting a range based on their market outlook, they can optimize their positions to maximize potential returns.
Adaptive strategies: Indicators that support concentrated liquidity can help traders adapt their strategies based on market conditions. For example, they can choose to provide liquidity around a stable price range during low-volatility periods or adjust their range when market conditions change.
To continue integrating this script into your trading strategy, follow these steps:
Import the script into your TradingView account. Navigate to the Pine editor, paste the code, and save it as a new script.
Apply the indicator to a trading pair chart. You can customize the input parameters (liquidity range percentage, rebalance frequency, and minimum trade size) based on your preferences and risk tolerance.
Set alerts for when the price crosses the upper or lower bounds. This will notify you when it's time to take action, such as adding or removing liquidity, or rebalancing your position.
Monitor the performance of your strategy over time. Adjust the input parameters as needed to optimize your returns and manage risk effectively.
(Optional) Integrate the script with a trading bot or automation platform. If you're using an API-based trading solution, you can incorporate the logic and conditions from the script into your bot's algorithm to automate the process of providing concentrated liquidity and rebalancing your positions.
Remember that no strategy is foolproof, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Always exercise caution when trading and carefully consider your risk tolerance.

Percent Volatility MomentumThis pine script calculates percent volatility momentum, negative percent volatility and positive percent volatility. The blue line is the overall momentum of the current percent volatility trend. The red line only includes negative movements in the percent volatility of the source. The green line includes only positive movements of the percent volatility of the source. The script also includes an angle and a normalized angle setting that allows one to determine the angle of the source curve. Note, the angle was transformed from -90 to 90 to 0 to 100. Such that an angle of -90 is transformed to 0. An angle of 0 is transformed to 50 and an angle of 90 is transformed to 100. This is the first draft of this script and my first pine script published. Any feedback is welcome. I borrowed code from TradingView's Linear Regression Channel and Relative Strength Index pine scripts.
Minervini QualifierThe Minervini Qualifier indicator calculates the qualifying conditions from Mark Minervini’s book “Trade like a Stock Market Wizard”.
The condition matching is been shown as fill color inside an SMA 20day envelope curve.
If the envelope color is red, current close price is below the SMA20 and when blue, current close price is above the SMA20. The fill color can be transparent (not matching qualifying conditions), yellow (matching all conditions except close is still below SMA50), green (all conditions match, SMA200 trending for at least one month up) or blue (all conditions match, SMA200 trending up for at least 5 months)
As I wanted also to see which of the qualifying conditions match over time, I’ve added add. lines, each representing one conditions. If it matches, line color is blue, or red if not. Use the data windows (right side), so you know what line represents which condition. Can be turned on/off (default:on)
In addition, a relative strength is been calculated, to compare the stock to a reference index. It is just one possible way to calculate it, might be different to what Mark Minervini is using. If the shown value (top right) is above 100, stock performs better compared to reference index (can be set in settings), when below 100, stock performs worse compared to reference index. Can be turned on/off (default:on)
How to use it:
For more details, read Mark’s book and watch his videos.
Limitations:
It gives only useful information on daily timeframe

Heikin Ashi SupertrendAbout this Strategy
This supertrend strategy uses the Heikin Ashi candles to generate the supertrend but enters and exits trades using normal candle close prices. If you use the standard built in Supertrend indicator on Heikin Ashi candles, it will produce very unrealistic backtesting results because it uses the Heikin Ashi prices instead of the real prices. However, by signaling the supertrend reversals using Heikin Ashi while using standard candle close prices for the entries and exits, it corrects the backtesting errors and gives you a more realistic equity curve. You should set the chart to use standard candles and then hide them (the strategy creates the candles).
This strategy includes:
Plotting of Heikin Ashi candles
Heikin Ashi Supertrend
Long and Short Entry Signals
Move stop loss after trade is X% in profit
Profit Target
Stop Loss
Built in Alertatron automation
Alertatron Trade Automation Integration
For Alertatron integration, be sure to configure the strategy settings and "Enable Webhook Messages" before creating an alert with {{strategy.order.alert_message}} in the body of your alert message. Be sure to enable webhooks and point it to your Incoming Alertatron webhook URL.
Notes
While this strategy does pretty well during trending markets, It's worth noting that the Buy and Hold ROI is much better during peak times of the bull market
Not financial advice. Do not risk more than you can afford to lose.
EMA curvesPlot EMAs for lengths 9, 21, 55 ,100, 200
An exponential moving average (EMA) is a type of moving average (MA) that places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points. The exponential moving average is also referred to as the exponentially weighted moving average. An exponentially weighted moving average reacts more significantly to recent price changes than a simple moving average simple moving average (SMA), which applies an equal weight to all observations in the period.
Moving Averages Ribbon (7 EMAs/SMAs)This Indicator provides a combination which is suitable for visualizing many Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) and Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). There are 7 possible periods 5,9,20,50,100,200,250. There is a possibility to show only EMAs or only SMAs or both. EMAs have thinner curves by default, to be able to distinguish them from SMAs. Additionally, there are highlighted channels between the MAs of the highs and the MAs of the lows, showing a channel of specific moving averages. It comes with a presetting showing EMAs 5,9,20,50,200 and SMAs 9,20,50,200, while the MA channels are only visible for 9 and 50.

Commodity Channel Relative StrengthNew concept(I think atleast) I've joined the Standard RSI and CCI at the hip with another plotcandle, which gives a picture of a larger candle With more interesting movement imo. Includes Fib Retracement Levels, High/Low and a couple of coppock curves for more confirmation. Broadening candles seem to indicate a weakening of trend strength (from what i've seen atleast) although exceptions do occur. Vice versa for tapering to a lesser degree I imagine. RSI has been shifted down to 0 to align the center point with the CCI , so the usual 30/70 RSI Levels are now -20/20 (although I have 30/-30 instead for the hlines).
Smoothed Repulse w/ Floating Levels [Loxx]Smoothed Repulse w/ Floating Levels indicator measures and displays the bullish or bearish pressure associated with each price candlestick in the form of a curve.
It is more relevant when compared to price and offers valuable additional information on the feeling and confidence that traders have about the markets.
This version can use one of the 4 basic averages types for smoothing.
Coloring can be chosen depending on :
slope
outer levels cross
middle ("zero") level cross
Since the "repulse" indicator is not limited to known bounds, levels are dynamic — the "zero" value too. That makes it more responsive in the times of elevated volatility. Alerts are triggered based on the color change.
Included:
Bar coloring
Signals
Alerts
Your choice of moving average for smoothing
Rollin' pseudo-Bollinger Bands 5 linear regression curves and new highs/lows mixed together from the basis for this indicator. Using slightly different logic an upper boundary and lower boundary are formed. Then the boundary's are built upon to show price channels within the band using variations of fib levels and the distance between the initial boundary's. Dots plotted show the inverse of the close price relative to either the upper or lower boundary depending on where the close is relative to the center of the band. This shows the market's tendency for symmetry which is useful when looking for reversals etc. If it's too cluttered feel free to turn off some things in the options and keep what you feel is helpful.
Moving Average Filters Add-on w/ Expanded Source Types [Loxx]Moving Average Filters Add-on w/ Expanded Source Types is a conglomeration of specialized and traditional moving averages that will be used in most of indicators that I publish moving forward. There are 39 moving averages included in this indicator as well as expanded source types including traditional Heiken Ashi and Better Heiken Ashi candles. You can read about the expanded source types clicking here . About half of these moving averages are closed source on other trading platforms. This indicator serves as a reference point for future public/private, open/closed source indicators that I publish to TradingView. Information about these moving averages was gleaned from various forex and trading forums and platforms as well as TASC publications and other assorted research publications.
________________________________________________________________
Included moving averages
ADXvma - Average Directional Volatility Moving Average
Linnsoft's ADXvma formula is a volatility-based moving average, with the volatility being determined by the value of the ADX indicator.
The ADXvma has the SMA in Chande's CMO replaced with an EMA, it then uses a few more layers of EMA smoothing before the "Volatility Index" is calculated.
A side effect is, those additional layers slow down the ADXvma when you compare it to Chande's Variable Index Dynamic Average VIDYA.
The ADXVMA provides support during uptrends and resistance during downtrends and will stay flat for longer, but will create some of the most accurate market signals when it decides to move.
Ahrens Moving Average
Richard D. Ahrens's Moving Average promises "Smoother Data" that isn't influenced by the occasional price spike. It works by using the Open and the Close in his formula so that the only time the Ahrens Moving Average will change is when the candlestick is either making new highs or new lows.
Alexander Moving Average - ALXMA
This Moving Average uses an elaborate smoothing formula and utilizes a 7 period Moving Average. It corresponds to fitting a second-order polynomial to seven consecutive observations. This moving average is rarely used in trading but is interesting as this Moving Average has been applied to diffusion indexes that tend to be very volatile.
Double Exponential Moving Average - DEMA
The Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) combines a smoothed EMA and a single EMA to provide a low-lag indicator. It's primary purpose is to reduce the amount of "lagging entry" opportunities, and like all Moving Averages, the DEMA confirms uptrends whenever price crosses on top of it and closes above it, and confirms downtrends when the price crosses under it and closes below it - but with significantly less lag.
Double Smoothed Exponential Moving Average - DSEMA
The Double Smoothed Exponential Moving Average is a lot less laggy compared to a traditional EMA. It's also considered a leading indicator compared to the EMA, and is best utilized whenever smoothness and speed of reaction to market changes are required.
Exponential Moving Average - EMA
The EMA places more significance on recent data points and moves closer to price than the SMA (Simple Moving Average). It reacts faster to volatility due to its emphasis on recent data and is known for its ability to give greater weight to recent and more relevant data. The EMA is therefore seen as an enhancement over the SMA.
Fast Exponential Moving Average - FEMA
An Exponential Moving Average with a short look-back period.
Fractal Adaptive Moving Average - FRAMA
The Fractal Adaptive Moving Average by John Ehlers is an intelligent adaptive Moving Average which takes the importance of price changes into account and follows price closely enough to display significant moves whilst remaining flat if price ranges. The FRAMA does this by dynamically adjusting the look-back period based on the market's fractal geometry.
Hull Moving Average - HMA
Alan Hull's HMA makes use of weighted moving averages to prioritize recent values and greatly reduce lag whilst maintaining the smoothness of a traditional Moving Average. For this reason, it's seen as a well-suited Moving Average for identifying entry points.
IE/2 - Early T3 by Tim Tilson
The IE/2 is a Moving Average that uses Linear Regression slope in its calculation to help with smoothing. It's a worthy Moving Average on it's own, even though it is the precursor and very early version of the famous "T3 Indicator".
Integral of Linear Regression Slope - ILRS
A Moving Average where the slope of a linear regression line is simply integrated as it is fitted in a moving window of length N (natural numbers in maths) across the data. The derivative of ILRS is the linear regression slope. ILRS is not the same as a SMA (Simple Moving Average) of length N, which is actually the midpoint of the linear regression line as it moves across the data.
Instantaneous Trendline
The Instantaneous Trendline is created by removing the dominant cycle component from the price information which makes this Moving Average suitable for medium to long-term trading.
Laguerre Filter
The Laguerre Filter is a smoothing filter which is based on Laguerre polynomials. The filter requires the current price, three prior prices, a user defined factor called Alpha to fill its calculation.
Adjusting the Alpha coefficient is used to increase or decrease its lag and it's smoothness.
Leader Exponential Moving Average
The Leader EMA was created by Giorgos E. Siligardos who created a Moving Average which was able to eliminate lag altogether whilst maintaining some smoothness. It was first described during his research paper "MACD Leader" where he applied this to the MACD to improve its signals and remove its lagging issue. This filter uses his leading MACD's "modified EMA" and can be used as a zero lag filter.
Linear Regression Value - LSMA (Least Squares Moving Average)
LSMA as a Moving Average is based on plotting the end point of the linear regression line. It compares the current value to the prior value and a determination is made of a possible trend, eg. the linear regression line is pointing up or down.
Linear Weighted Moving Average - LWMA
LWMA reacts to price quicker than the SMA and EMA. Although it's similar to the Simple Moving Average, the difference is that a weight coefficient is multiplied to the price which means the most recent price has the highest weighting, and each prior price has progressively less weight. The weights drop in a linear fashion.
McGinley Dynamic
John McGinley created this Moving Average to track price better than traditional Moving Averages. It does this by incorporating an automatic adjustment factor into its formula, which speeds (or slows) the indicator in trending, or ranging, markets.
McNicholl EMA
Dennis McNicholl developed this Moving Average to use as his center line for his "Better Bollinger Bands" indicator and was successful because it responded better to volatility changes over the standard SMA and managed to avoid common whipsaws.
Non lag moving average
The Non Lag Moving average follows price closely and gives very quick signals as well as early signals of price change. As a standalone Moving Average, it should not be used on its own, but as an additional confluence tool for early signals.
Parabolic Weighted Moving Average
The Parabolic Weighted Moving Average is a variation of the Linear Weighted Moving Average. The Linear Weighted Moving Average calculates the average by assigning different weight to each element in its calculation. The Parabolic Weighted Moving Average is a variation that allows weights to be changed to form a parabolic curve. It is done simply by using the Power parameter of this indicator.
Recursive Moving Trendline
Dennis Meyers's Recursive Moving Trendline uses a recursive (repeated application of a rule) polynomial fit, a technique that uses a small number of past values estimations of price and today's price to predict tomorrows price.
Simple Moving Average - SMA
The SMA calculates the average of a range of prices by adding recent prices and then dividing that figure by the number of time periods in the calculation average. It is the most basic Moving Average which is seen as a reliable tool for starting off with Moving Average studies. As reliable as it may be, the basic moving average will work better when it's enhanced into an EMA.
Sine Weighted Moving Average
The Sine Weighted Moving Average assigns the most weight at the middle of the data set. It does this by weighting from the first half of a Sine Wave Cycle and the most weighting is given to the data in the middle of that data set. The Sine WMA closely resembles the TMA (Triangular Moving Average).
Smoothed Moving Average - SMMA
The Smoothed Moving Average is similar to the Simple Moving Average (SMA), but aims to reduce noise rather than reduce lag. SMMA takes all prices into account and uses a long lookback period. Due to this, it's seen a an accurate yet laggy Moving Average.
Smoother
The Smoother filter is a faster-reacting smoothing technique which generates considerably less lag than the SMMA (Smoothed Moving Average). It gives earlier signals but can also create false signals due to its earlier reactions. This filter is sometimes wrongly mistaken for the superior Jurik Smoothing algorithm.
Super Smoother
The Super Smoother filter uses John Ehlers’s “Super Smoother” which consists of a a Two pole Butterworth filter combined with a 2-bar SMA (Simple Moving Average) that suppresses the 22050 Hz Nyquist frequency: A characteristic of a sampler, which converts a continuous function or signal into a discrete sequence.
Three pole Ehlers Butterworth
The 3 pole Ehlers Butterworth (as well as the Two pole Butterworth) are both superior alternatives to the EMA and SMA. They aim at producing less lag whilst maintaining accuracy. The 2 pole filter will give you a better approximation for price, whereas the 3 pole filter has superior smoothing.
Three pole Ehlers smoother
The 3 pole Ehlers smoother works almost as close to price as the above mentioned 3 Pole Ehlers Butterworth. It acts as a strong baseline for signals but removes some noise. Side by side, it hardly differs from the Three Pole Ehlers Butterworth but when examined closely, it has better overshoot reduction compared to the 3 pole Ehlers Butterworth.
Triangular Moving Average - TMA
The TMA is similar to the EMA but uses a different weighting scheme. Exponential and weighted Moving Averages will assign weight to the most recent price data. Simple moving averages will assign the weight equally across all the price data. With a TMA (Triangular Moving Average), it is double smoother (averaged twice) so the majority of the weight is assigned to the middle portion of the data.
The TMA and Sine Weighted Moving Average Filter are almost identical at times.
Triple Exponential Moving Average - TEMA
The TEMA uses multiple EMA calculations as well as subtracting lag to create a tool which can be used for scalping pullbacks. As it follows price closely, it's signals are considered very noisy and should only be used in extremely fast-paced trading conditions.
Two pole Ehlers Butterworth
The 2 pole Ehlers Butterworth (as well as the three pole Butterworth mentioned above) is another filter that cuts out the noise and follows the price closely. The 2 pole is seen as a faster, leading filter over the 3 pole and follows price a bit more closely. Analysts will utilize both a 2 pole and a 3 pole Butterworth on the same chart using the same period, but having both on chart allows its crosses to be traded.
Two pole Ehlers smoother
A smoother version of the Two pole Ehlers Butterworth. This filter is the faster version out of the 3 pole Ehlers Butterworth. It does a decent job at cutting out market noise whilst emphasizing a closer following to price over the 3 pole Ehlers.
Volume Weighted EMA - VEMA
Utilizing tick volume in MT4 (or real volume in MT5), this EMA will use the Volume reading in its decision to plot its moves. The more Volume it detects on a move, the more authority (confirmation) it has. And this EMA uses those Volume readings to plot its movements.
Studies show that tick volume and real volume have a very strong correlation, so using this filter in MT4 or MT5 produces very similar results and readings.
Zero Lag DEMA - Zero Lag Double Exponential Moving Average
John Ehlers's Zero Lag DEMA's aim is to eliminate the inherent lag associated with all trend following indicators which average a price over time. Because this is a Double Exponential Moving Average with Zero Lag, it has a tendency to overshoot and create a lot of false signals for swing trading. It can however be used for quick scalping or as a secondary indicator for confluence.
Zero Lag Moving Average
The Zero Lag Moving Average is described by its creator, John Ehlers, as a Moving Average with absolutely no delay. And it's for this reason that this filter will cause a lot of abrupt signals which will not be ideal for medium to long-term traders. This filter is designed to follow price as close as possible whilst de-lagging data instead of basing it on regular data. The way this is done is by attempting to remove the cumulative effect of the Moving Average.
Zero Lag TEMA - Zero Lag Triple Exponential Moving Average
Just like the Zero Lag DEMA, this filter will give you the fastest signals out of all the Zero Lag Moving Averages. This is useful for scalping but dangerous for medium to long-term traders, especially during market Volatility and news events. Having no lag, this filter also has no smoothing in its signals and can cause some very bizarre behavior when applied to certain indicators.

What are Heiken Ashi "better" candles?
The "better formula" was proposed in an article/memo by BNP-Paribas (In Warrants & Zertifikate, No. 8, August 2004 (a monthly German magazine published by BNP Paribas, Frankfurt), there is an article by Sebastian Schmidt about further development (smoothing) of Heikin-Ashi chart.)
They proposed to use the following:
(Open+Close)/2+(((Close-Open)/( High-Low ))*ABS((Close-Open)/2))
instead of using :
haClose = (O+H+L+C)/4
According to that document the HA representation using their proposed formula is better than the traditional formula.
What are traditional Heiken-Ashi candles?
The Heikin-Ashi technique averages price data to create a Japanese candlestick chart that filters out market noise.
Heikin-Ashi charts, developed by Munehisa Homma in the 1700s, share some characteristics with standard candlestick charts but differ based on the values used to create each candle. Instead of using the open, high, low, and close like standard candlestick charts, the Heikin-Ashi technique uses a modified formula based on two-period averages. This gives the chart a smoother appearance, making it easier to spots trends and reversals, but also obscures gaps and some price data.
Expanded generic source types:
Close = close
Open = open
High = high
Low = low
Median = hl2
Typical = hlc3
Weighted = hlcc4
Average = ohlc4
Average Median Body = (open+close)/2
Trend Biased = (see code, too complex to explain here)
Trend Biased (extreme) = (see code, too complex to explain here)
Included:
-Toggle bar color on/off
-Toggle signal line on/off
Bull/Bear Buy/Bail CandlesBased on BullBearPower indicator, this is a heavily modified version with colored candles to show when bulls or bears are buying or bailing. Includes Fibonacci Levels based on Highest/Lowest value in variable length, along with optional second timeframe and alternative calculation for candles and linear regression curves for increased versatility. Green = bullish /long, Aqua = still-bullish albeit weakening, blue = weak albeit strengthening and red = weak/short. Perfect as a confirmation indicator for those looking to time markets.
[blackcat] L1 Richard Poster Trend PersistenceLevel 1
Background
In Traders’ Tips of February 2021, the focus is Richard Poster’s article in the February 2021 issue, “Trend Strength: Measuring The Duration Of A Trend”.
Function
In his article in this issue, Richard Poster outlines several common ways to evaluate the strength and duration of trends. Then he evaluates their sensitivity to volatility. Next, he steps up our game a bit by proposing an indicator that seeks to measure a trend’s persistence rate, or TPR for short. TPR turns out to be relatively insensitive to the influence of volatility.
Financial markets are not stationary; price curves can swing all the time between trending, mean-reverting, or entire randomness. Without a filter for detecting trend regime, any trend-following strategy will bite the dust sooner or later. In his article in this issue, Richard Poster offers a trend persistence indicator (TPR) for helping to avoid unprofitable market periods.The TPR indicator measures the steepness of a SMA (simple moving average) slope and counts the bars where the slope exceeds a threshold. The more steep bars, the more trending the market. Threshold, TPR period, and SMA period are the parameters of the TPR indicator.
Remarks
This is a Level 1 free and open source indicator.
Feedbacks are appreciated.

MZ Adaptive Ichimoku Cloud (Volume, Volatility, Chikou Filter) This study is a functional enhancement to conventionally used Ichimoku Clouds . It uses particular effective adaptive parameters (Relative Volume Strength Index (MZ RVSI ), Volatility and Chikou Backward Trend Filter) to adapt dynamic lengths for Kijun-sen, Tenkan-sen, Senkou-span and Chikou .
This study uses complete available Ichimoku Clouds trading methodology to provide trade confirmations. Its still in experimental phase so will be updated accordingly.
ADAPTIVE LENGTH PARAMETERS
Relative Volume Strength Index (MZ RVSI )
For adaptive length, I tried using Volume and for this purpose I used my Relative Volume Strength Index " RVSI " indicator. RVSI is the best way to detect if Volume is going for a breakout or not and based on that indication length changes.
RVSI breaking above provided value would indicate Volume breakout and hence dynamic length would accordingly make Ichimoku Clouds more over-fitted to better act as support and resistance . Similar case would happen if Volume goes down and dynamic length becomes more under-fit.
Original RVSI Library and study can be found here:
Volatility
Average true range is used as volatility measurement and detection tool. Dual ATR condition would decide over-fitting or under-fitting of curve.
Chikou Backward Trend Filter
Chikou is basically close value of ticker offset to close and it is a good for indicating if close value has crossed potential Support/Resistance zone from past. Chikou is usually used with 26 period.
Chikou filter uses a lookback length calculated from provided lookback percentage and checks if trend was bullish or bearish within that lookback period.
Original Chikou Filter library and study can be found here:
ADAPTIVE ICHIMOKU CLOUD
Tenkan-Sen (Conversion Line)
Tenkan-sen is a moving average that is calculated by taking the average of the high and the low for the last nine periods conventionally but in this study its length is dynamically adapted based on Volume, Volatility and Chikou filter. Default adaption range is set to 9-30 which I found universally applicable to almost every market on all time-frames.
Kijun-Sen (Base Line)
The Kijun-Sen is usually considered a support/resistance line which also acts as an indicator of price movements in the future and takes a longer period into consideration, usually 26 periods compared to Tenkan-Sen’s nine periods is used conventionally. In this study, its length is set to vary in range of 20-60 based on adaptive parameters.
Senkou-Span (Leading Span)
Senkou-Span A : Senkou Span A is the average of the highs and lows of Tenkan-Sen and Kijun-Sen so it automatically adapts accroding to dynamic lengths of Tenkan and Kijun.
Senkou-Span B : Senkou Span B is usually calculated by averaging highs and lows of the past 52 periods and plotting it 26 points to the right but this study uses adaptive parameters to adapt its dynamic length in range of 50-120 which makes Kumo (Ichimoku Cloud) a better area for support and resistance. I don’t consider its necessary to adapt Kumo’s displacement to the right, so I used conventional 26 period as offset.
Chikou -Span (Lagging Span)
The Chikou Span, also known as the lagging span is formed by taking the price source and offsetting it back 26 periods to the left but I used adaptive length in range 26-50 which makes this tool a better option to check for Chikou -Price cross check in wide range.
TRADE SIGNALS & CONFIRMATIONS
Volume : RVSI used to detect volume breakout about given point. By default, On Balance Volume based RVSI is selected for all dynamic length adaption and also for trade confirmations.
Cross(Tenkan,Kijun) : Easiest way to detect trend as if Tenkan is above Kijun then market is uptrend and vice versa.
Volatility : High volatility is a good way to confirm if price is on the move or not.
Tenkan = Kijun : Because of a wide range of Tenkan and Kijun length; their value can become equal before reversal.
Chikou > Source : A very conventional way to detect price momentum as if Chikou is above price then market is in uptrend and vice versa.
Chikou Momentum : Another simpler way to represent Chikou > Source as if momentum of price source is uptrend then price will tend to follow.
Source > Kumo : Using the best tool of Ichimoku Clouds i.e. Kumo. If price crosses both Senkou-Span A & B then market has broken potential resistance leading to a good uptrend and vice versa.
Source > Tenkan : Better way to detect price trend in short term.
Chikou Backward Trend Filter : Different from Chikou >Source in a way that Chikou filter makes sure that price crosses highest/lowest within defined period.
CHARTING
Bars Coloring : Bars coloring is set as following :
src > tenkan-Sen and src > kijun-Sen : Strong uptrend detection and shown by green bars.
src < tenkan-Sen and src < kijun-Sen : Strong downtrend detection and shown by green bars.
src > tenkan-Sen and src < kijun-Sen : Better way to detect bottom reversals as if price comes above tenkan but remains below kijun; that’s early signs of recovery. Light red bars are used for this by default.
src < tenkan-Sen and src > kijun-Sen : Better way to detect top reversals as if price comes below tenkan but remains above kijun; that’s early signs of losing potential in uptrend. Dark Grey bars are used for this by default.
Kumo Coloring : Following steps are used to derive Kumo’s dynamic color:
Average of Senkou-span A and B is calculated.
RSI with 14 period of that average is calculated.
Gradient color based on calculated RSI values with 0-100 range is derived which is final Kumo color.
Chikou Span Coloring : Dynamic coloring from Chikou Filter is used as Indicator’s Chikou ’s color.
Signals Overlay : Red and Green small triangles are used as signals overlay.
Adaptive MA Difference constructor [lastguru]A complimentary indicator to my Adaptive MA constructor. It calculates the difference between the two MA lines (inspired by the Moving Average Difference (MAD) indicator by John F. Ehlers). You can then further smooth the resulting curve. The parameters and options are explained here:
The difference is normalized by dividing the difference by twice its Root mean square (RMS) over Slow MA length. Inverse Fisher Transform is then used to force the -1..1 range.
Same Postfilter options are provided as in my Adaptive Oscillator constructor:
Stochastic - Stochastic
Super Smooth Stochastic - Super Smooth Stochastic (part of MESA Stochastic ) by John F. Ehlers
Inverse Fisher Transform - Inverse Fisher Transform
Noise Elimination Technology - a simplified Kendall correlation algorithm "Noise Elimination Technology" by John F. Ehlers
Momentum - momentum (derivative)
Except for Inverse Fisher Transform, all Postfilter algorithms can have Length parameter. If it is not specified (set to 0), then the calculated Slow MA Length is used.
[Sextan] T-Step LSMA MTF BacktestLevel: 1
NOTE: This is a request by @scantor516 to backtest T-Step LSMA by alexgrover with my Sextan framework. You can backtest many of my indicators in minutes now! Of course,you can define your own indicator in the highlighted area in compliance with the uniform format, which guarantee when you use "Indicator on Indicator" function, it would not produce any error.

Background
Backtesting of technical indicators and strategies is the most common way to understand a quantitative strategy. However, the complicated configuration and adaptation work of backtesting many quantitative tools makes many traders who do not understand the code daunted. Moreover, although I have written a lot of strategies, I am still not very satisfied with the backtest configuration and writing efficiency. Therefore, I have been thinking about how to build a backtesting framework that can quickly and easily evaluate the backtesting performance of any indicator with a "long/short entry" indicator, that is, a "simple backtesting tool for dummies". The performance requirements should be stable, and the operation should be simple and convenient. It is best to "copy", "paste", and "a few mouse clicks" to complete the quick backtest and evaluation of a new indicator.
Luckily, I recently realized that TradingView provides an "Indicator on Indicator" feature, which is the perfect foundation for doing "hot swap" backtesting. My basic idea is to use a two-layer design. The first layer is the technical indicator signal source that needs to be embedded, which is only used to provide buy and sell signals of custom strategies; the second layer is the trading system, which is used to receive the output signals of the first layer, and filter the signals according to the agreed specifications. , Take Profit, Stop Loss, draw buy and sell signals and cost lines, define and send custom buy and sell alert messages to mobile phones, social software or trading interfaces. In general, this two-layer design is a flexible combination of "death and alive", which can meet the needs of most traders to quickly evaluate the performance of a certain technical indicator. The first layer here is flexible. Users can insert their own strategy codes according to my template, and they can draw buy and sell signals and output them to the second layer. The second layer is fixed, and the overall framework is solidified to ensure the stability and unity of the trading system. It is convenient to compare different or similar strategies under the same conditions. Finally, all trading signals are drawn on the chart, and the output strategy returns. test report.
The main function:
The first layer: "{Sextan} Your Indicator Source", the script provides a template for personalized strategy input, and the signal and definition interfaces ensure full compatibility with the second layer. Backtesting is performed stably in the backtesting framework of the layer. The first layer of this script is also relatively simple: enter your script in the highlighted custom script area, and after ensuring the final buy and sell signals long = bool condition, short = bool condition, the design of the first layer is considered complete. Input it into the PINE script editor of TradingView, save it and add it to the chart, you can see the pulse sequence in yellow (buy) and purple (sell) on the sub-picture, corresponding to the main picture, you can subjectively judge that the quality of the trading point of the strategy is good Bad.
The second layer: "{Sextan} PINEv4 Sextans Backtest Framework". This script is the standardized trading system strategy execution and alarm, used to generate the final report of the strategy backtest and some key indicators that I have customized that I find useful, such as: winning rate , Odds, Winning Surface, Kelly Ratio, Take Profit and Stop Loss Thresholds, Trading Frequency, etc. are evaluated according to the Kelly formula. To use the second layer, first load it into the TrainingView chart, no markers will appear on the chart, since you have not specified any strategy source signals, click on the gear-shaped setting next to the "{Sextan} PINEv4 Sextans BTFW" header button, you can open the backtest settings, the first item is to select your custom strategy source. Because we have added the strategy source to the chart in the previous step, you can easily find an option "{Sextan} Your Indicator Source: Signal" at the bottom of the list, this is the strategy source input we need, select and confirm , you can see various markers on the main graph, and quickly generate a backtesting profit graph and a list of backtesting reports. You can generate files and download the backtesting reports locally. You can also click the gear on the backtest chart interface to customize some conditions of the backtest, including: initial capital amount, currency type, percentage of each order placed, amount of pyramid additions, commission fees, slippage, etc. configuration. Note: The configuration in the interface dialog overrides the same configuration implemented by the code in the backtest script.
How to output charts:
The first layer: "{Sextan} Your Indicator Source", the output of this script is the pulse value of yellow and purple, yellow +1 means buy, purple -1 means sell.
The second layer: PINEv4 Sextans Backtest Framework". The output of this script is a bit complicated. After all, it is the entire trading system with a lot of information:
1. Blue and red arrows. The blue upward arrow indicates long position, the red downward arrow indicates short position, and the horizontal bar at the end of the purple arrow indicates take profit or stop loss exit.
2. Red and green lines. This is the holding cost line of the strategy, green represents the cost of holding a long position, and red represents the cost of holding a short position. The cost line is a continuous solid line and the price action is relatively close.
3. Green and yellow long take profit and stop loss area and green and yellow long take profit and stop loss fork. Once a long position is held, there is a conditional order for take profit and stop loss. The green horizontal line is the long take profit ratio line, and the yellow is the long stop loss ratio line; the green cross indicates the long take profit price, and the yellow cross indicates the long position. Stop loss price. It's worth noting that the prongs and wires don't necessarily go together. Because of the optimization of the algorithm, for a strong market, the take profit will occur after breaking the take profit line, and the profit will not be taken until the price falls.
4. The purple and red short take profit and stop loss area and the purple red short stop loss fork. Once a short position is held, there will be a take profit and stop loss conditional order, the red is the short take profit ratio line, and the purple is the short stop loss ratio line; the red cross indicates the short take profit price, and the purple cross indicates the short stop loss price.
5. In addition to the above signs, there are also text and numbers indicating the profit and loss values of long and short positions. "L" means long; "S" means short; "XL" means close long; "XS" means close short.
TradingView Strategy Tester Panel:
The overview graph is an intuitive graph that plots the blue (gain) and red (loss) curves of all backtest periods together, and notes: the absolute value and percentage of net profit, the number of all closed positions, the winning percentage, the profit factor, The maximum trading loss, the absolute value and ratio of the average trading profit and loss, and the average number of K-lines held in all trades.
Another is the performance summary. This is to display all long and short statistical indicators of backtesting in the form of a list, such as: net profit, gross profit, Sharpe ratio, maximum position, commission, times of profit and loss, etc.
Finally, the transaction list is a table indexed by the transaction serial number, showing the signal direction, date and time, price, profit and loss, accumulated profit and loss, maximum transaction profit, transaction loss and other values.
Remarks
Finally, I will explain that this is just the beginning of this model. I will continue to optimize the trading system of the second layer. Various optimization feedback and suggestions are welcome. For valuable feedback, I am willing to provide some L4/L5 technical indicators as rewards for free subscription rights.
