: Volume Zone Oscillator & Price Zone Oscillator LB Update JRMThis is a simple update of Lazy Bear's " Indicators: Volume Zone Indicator & Price Zone Indicator" Script. PZO plots on the same indicator. The horizontal plot lines are taken primarily from two articles by Wahalil and Steckler "In The Volume Zone" May 2011, Stocks and Commodities and "Entering The Price Zone"June 2011, Stocks and Commodities. With both indicators on the same plot it is easier to see divergences between the indicators. I did add a plot line at 80 and -80 as well because that is getting into truly extreme price/volume territory where one might contemplate a close your eyes and sell or cover particularly if confirmed at a higher time frame with the expectation of some type of corrective move..
The inputs and plot lines can be edited as per Lazy Bear's original script and follows the original format. Many thanks to Lazy Bear.

Tensor Market Analysis Engine (TMAE)# Tensor Market Analysis Engine (TMAE)
## Advanced Multi-Dimensional Mathematical Analysis System
*Where Quantum Mathematics Meets Market Structure*
---
## 🎓 THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
The Tensor Market Analysis Engine represents a revolutionary synthesis of three cutting-edge mathematical frameworks that have never before been combined for comprehensive market analysis. This indicator transcends traditional technical analysis by implementing advanced mathematical concepts from quantum mechanics, information theory, and fractal geometry.
### 🌊 Multi-Dimensional Volatility with Jump Detection
**Hawkes Process Implementation:**
The TMAE employs a sophisticated Hawkes process approximation for detecting self-exciting market jumps. Unlike traditional volatility measures that treat price movements as independent events, the Hawkes process recognizes that market shocks cluster and exhibit memory effects.
**Mathematical Foundation:**
```
Intensity λ(t) = μ + Σ α(t - Tᵢ)
```
Where market jumps at times Tᵢ increase the probability of future jumps through the decay function α, controlled by the Hawkes Decay parameter (0.5-0.99).
**Mahalanobis Distance Calculation:**
The engine calculates volatility jumps using multi-dimensional Mahalanobis distance across up to 5 volatility dimensions:
- **Dimension 1:** Price volatility (standard deviation of returns)
- **Dimension 2:** Volume volatility (normalized volume fluctuations)
- **Dimension 3:** Range volatility (high-low spread variations)
- **Dimension 4:** Correlation volatility (price-volume relationship changes)
- **Dimension 5:** Microstructure volatility (intrabar positioning analysis)
This creates a volatility state vector that captures market behavior impossible to detect with traditional single-dimensional approaches.
### 📐 Hurst Exponent Regime Detection
**Fractal Market Hypothesis Integration:**
The TMAE implements advanced Rescaled Range (R/S) analysis to calculate the Hurst exponent in real-time, providing dynamic regime classification:
- **H > 0.6:** Trending (persistent) markets - momentum strategies optimal
- **H < 0.4:** Mean-reverting (anti-persistent) markets - contrarian strategies optimal
- **H ≈ 0.5:** Random walk markets - breakout strategies preferred
**Adaptive R/S Analysis:**
Unlike static implementations, the TMAE uses adaptive windowing that adjusts to market conditions:
```
H = log(R/S) / log(n)
```
Where R is the range of cumulative deviations and S is the standard deviation over period n.
**Dynamic Regime Classification:**
The system employs hysteresis to prevent regime flipping, requiring sustained Hurst values before regime changes are confirmed. This prevents false signals during transitional periods.
### 🔄 Transfer Entropy Analysis
**Information Flow Quantification:**
Transfer entropy measures the directional flow of information between price and volume, revealing lead-lag relationships that indicate future price movements:
```
TE(X→Y) = Σ p(yₜ₊₁, yₜ, xₜ) log
```
**Causality Detection:**
- **Volume → Price:** Indicates accumulation/distribution phases
- **Price → Volume:** Suggests retail participation or momentum chasing
- **Balanced Flow:** Market equilibrium or transition periods
The system analyzes multiple lag periods (2-20 bars) to capture both immediate and structural information flows.

Boxes_PlotIn the world of data visualization, heatmaps are an invaluable tool for understanding complex datasets. They use color gradients to represent the values of individual data points, allowing users to quickly identify patterns, trends, and outliers in their data. In this post, we will delve into the history of heatmaps, and then discuss how its implemented.
The "Boxes_Plot" library is a powerful and versatile tool for visualizing multiple indicators on a trading chart using colored boxes, commonly known as heatmaps. These heatmaps provide a user-friendly and efficient method for analyzing the performance and trends of various indicators simultaneously. The library can be customized to display multiple charts, adjust the number of rows, and set the appropriate offset for proper spacing. This allows traders to gain insights into the market and make informed decisions.
Heatmaps with cells are interesting and useful for several reasons. Firstly, they allow for the visualization of large datasets in a compact and organized manner. This is especially beneficial when working with multiple indicators, as it enables traders to easily compare and contrast their performance. Secondly, heatmaps provide a clear and intuitive representation of the data, making it easier for traders to identify trends and patterns. Finally, heatmaps offer a visually appealing way to present complex information, which can help to engage and maintain the interest of traders.
History of Heatmaps
The concept of heatmaps can be traced back to the 19th century when French cartographer and sociologist Charles Joseph Minard used color gradients to visualize statistical data. He is well-known for his 1869 map, which depicted Napoleon's disastrous Russian campaign of 1812 using a color gradient to represent the dwindling size of Napoleon's army.
In the 20th century, heatmaps gained popularity in the fields of biology and genetics, where they were used to visualize gene expression data. In the early 2000s, heatmaps found their way into the world of finance, where they are now used to display stock market data, such as price, volume, and performance.
The boxes_plot function in the library expects a normalized value from 0 to 100 as input. Normalizing the data ensures that all values are on a consistent scale, making it easier to compare different indicators. The function also allows for easy customization, enabling users to adjust the number of rows displayed, the size of the boxes, and the offset for proper spacing.
One of the key features of the library is its ability to automatically scale the chart to the screen. This ensures that the heatmap remains clear and visible, regardless of the size or resolution of the user's monitor. This functionality is essential for traders who may be using various devices and screen sizes, as it enables them to easily access and interpret the heatmap without needing to make manual adjustments.
In order to create a heatmap using the boxes_plot function, users need to supply several parameters:
1. Source: An array of floating-point values representing the indicator values to display.
2. Name: An array of strings representing the names of the indicators.
3. Boxes_per_row: The number of boxes to display per row.
4. Offset (optional): An integer to offset the boxes horizontally (default: 0).
5. Scale (optional): A floating-point value to scale the size of the boxes (default: 1).
The library also includes a gradient function (grad) that is used to generate the colors for the heatmap. This function is responsible for determining the appropriate color based on the value of the indicator, with higher values typically represented by warmer colors such as red and lower values by cooler colors such as blue.
Implementing Heatmaps as a Pine Script Library
In this section, we'll explore how to create a Pine Script library that can be used to generate heatmaps for various indicators on the TradingView platform. The library utilizes colored boxes to represent the values of multiple indicators, making it simple to visualize complex data.
We'll now go over the key components of the code:
grad(src) function: This function takes an integer input 'src' and returns a color based on a predefined color gradient. The gradient ranges from dark blue (#1500FF) for low values to dark red (#FF0000) for high values.
boxes_plot() function: This is the main function of the library, and it takes the following parameters:
source: an array of floating-point values representing the indicator values to display
name: an array of strings representing the names of the indicators
boxes_per_row: the number of boxes to display per row
offset (optional): an integer to offset the boxes horizontally (default: 0)
scale (optional): a floating-point value to scale the size of the boxes (default: 1)
The function first calculates the screen size and unit size based on the visible chart area. Then, it creates an array of box objects representing each data point. Each box is assigned a color based on the value of the data point using the grad() function. The boxes are then plotted on the chart using the box.new() function.
Example Usage:
In the example provided in the source code, we use the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Stochastic Oscillator as the input data for the heatmap. We create two arrays, 'data_1' containing the RSI and Stochastic Oscillator values, and 'data_names_1' containing the names of the indicators. We then call the 'boxes_plot()' function with these arrays, specifying the desired number of boxes per row, offset, and scale.
Conclusion
Heatmaps are a versatile and powerful data visualization tool with a rich history, spanning multiple fields of study. By implementing a heatmap library in Pine Script, we can enhance the capabilities of the TradingView platform, making it easier for users to visualize and understand complex financial data. The provided library can be easily customized and extended to suit various use cases and can be a valuable addition to any trader's toolbox.

ERDAL SARIDAS Visual RSIOne-stop shop for all your divergence needs, including:
(1) A single metric for divergence strength across multiple indicators.
(2) Labels that make it easy to spot where the truly strong divergence is by showing the overall divergence strength value along with the number of divergent indicators. Hovering over the label shows a breakdown of each divergent indicator and its individual divergence strength value.
(3) Fully customizable, including inputs for pivot lengths, divergence types, and weights for every component of the divergence strength calculation. This allows you to quickly and easily optimize the output for any chart. Don't worry, the default settings will have you covered if you're not interested in what's going on under the hood.
The Divergence Strength Calculation:
The total divergence strength value is the sum of the divergence strengths of all indicators for which divergence was detected at a given bar. Each indicator's individual divergence strength is comprised of two basic components: (1) |ΔPrice| - the magnitude of the change in price over the divergence period (pivot-to-pivot), and (2) |ΔIndicator| - the magnitude of the change in indicator value over the divergence period.
Because different indicators' scales and volatility can vary greatly, the Δ values are expressed in terms of standard deviation to ensure that the values are meaningful and equitable across all indicators and assets/instruments/currency pairs, etc:
|ΔIndicator| = |indicator_value_1 - indicator_value_2| / 2 * StDev(indicator_series,100)
Calculation Weights:
All components of the calculation are weighted and can be modified on the Inputs page in settings (weights are simply multipliers). For example, if you think hidden divergence should carry less weight than regular divergence, you can assign it a lesser weight. Or if you think RSI divergence is worth more than OBV divergence, you can adjust their weights accordingly. List of weights:
Regular divergence weight - default = 1
Hidden divergence weight - default = 1
ΔPrice weight - default = 0.5 (multiplied by the ΔPrice component)
ΔIndicator weight - default = 1.5 (multiplied by the ΔIndicator component)
RSI weight - default = 1.1
OBV weight - default = 0.8
MACD weight - default = 0.9
STOCH weight - default = 0.9
Development for additional indicators is ongoing, as is research into the optimal weight configuration(s).
Other Inputs:
Pivot lengths - specify the number of bars before and after each pivot high/low to consider it a valid candidate for divergence.
Lookback bars and Lookback pivots - specify the number of bars or the number of pivots to look back across.
Price sources - specify separate price sources for bullish and bearish divergence
Display settings - specify how lines and labels should display, including which divergence strength values should show the largest labels. Include/exclude specific divergence types and indicators.
Please report any bugs, or let me know if you have any enhancement suggestions or requests for additional indicators.

What is an adaptive cycle, and what is Ehlers Autocorrelation Periodogram Algorithm?
From his Ehlers' book Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts by John F. Ehlers , 2013, page 135:
"Adaptive filters can have several different meanings. For example, Perry Kaufman's adaptive moving average (KAMA) and Tushar Chande's variable index dynamic average (VIDYA) adapt to changes in volatility . By definition, these filters are reactive to price changes, and therefore they close the barn door after the horse is gone.The adaptive filters discussed in this chapter are the familiar Stochastic , relative strength index (RSI), commodity channel index (CCI), and band-pass filter.The key parameter in each case is the look-back period used to calculate the indicator. This look-back period is commonly a fixed value. However, since the measured cycle period is changing, it makes sense to adapt these indicators to the measured cycle period. When tradable market cycles are observed, they tend to persist for a short while.Therefore, by tuning the indicators to the measure cycle period they are optimized for current conditions and can even have predictive characteristics.
The dominant cycle period is measured using the Autocorrelation Periodogram Algorithm. That dominant cycle dynamically sets the look-back period for the indicators. I employ my own streamlined computation for the indicators that provide smoother and easier to interpret outputs than traditional methods. Further, the indicator codes have been modified to remove the effects of spectral dilation.This basically creates a whole new set of indicators for your trading arsenal."
What is this Hilbert Transformer?
An analytic signal allows for time-variable parameters and is a generalization of the phasor concept, which is restricted to time-invariant amplitude, phase, and frequency. The analytic representation of a real-valued function or signal facilitates many mathematical manipulations of the signal. For example, computing the phase of a signal or the power in the wave is much simpler using analytic signals.
The Hilbert transformer is the technique to create an analytic signal from a real one. The conventional Hilbert transformer is theoretically an infinite-length FIR filter. Even when the filter length is truncated to a useful but finite length, the induced lag is far too large to make the transformer useful for trading.
From his Ehlers' book Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts by John F. Ehlers , 2013, pages 186-187:
"I want to emphasize that the only reason for including this section is for completeness. Unless you are interested in research, I suggest you skip this section entirely. To further emphasize my point, do not use the code for trading. A vastly superior approach to compute the dominant cycle in the price data is the autocorrelation periodogram. The code is included because the reader may be able to capitalize on the algorithms in a way that I do not see. All the algorithms encapsulated in the code operate reasonably well on theoretical waveforms that have no noise component. My conjecture at this time is that the sample-to-sample noise simply swamps the computation of the rate change of phase, and therefore the resulting calculations to find the dominant cycle are basically worthless.The imaginary component of the Hilbert transformer cannot be smoothed as was done in the Hilbert transformer indicator because the smoothing destroys the orthogonality of the imaginary component."
What is the Dual Differentiator, a subset of Hilbert Transformer?
From his Ehlers' book Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts by John F. Ehlers , 2013, page 187:
"The first algorithm to compute the dominant cycle is called the dual differentiator. In this case, the phase angle is computed from the analytic signal as the arctangent of the ratio of the imaginary component to the real component. Further, the angular frequency is defined as the rate change of phase. We can use these facts to derive the cycle period."
What is the Phase Accumulation, a subset of Hilbert Transformer?
From his Ehlers' book Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts by John F. Ehlers , 2013, page 189:
"The next algorithm to compute the dominant cycle is the phase accumulation method. The phase accumulation method of computing the dominant cycle is perhaps the easiest to comprehend. In this technique, we measure the phase at each sample by taking the arctangent of the ratio of the quadrature component to the in-phase component. A delta phase is generated by taking the difference of the phase between successive samples. At each sample we can then look backwards, adding up the delta phases.When the sum of the delta phases reaches 360 degrees, we must have passed through one full cycle, on average.The process is repeated for each new sample.
The phase accumulation method of cycle measurement always uses one full cycle's worth of historical data.This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.The advantage is the lag in obtaining the answer scales directly with the cycle period.That is, the measurement of a short cycle period has less lag than the measurement of a longer cycle period. However, the number of samples used in making the measurement means the averaging period is variable with cycle period. longer averaging reduces the noise level compared to the signal.Therefore, shorter cycle periods necessarily have a higher out- put signal-to-noise ratio."
What is the Homodyne, a subset of Hilbert Transformer?
From his Ehlers' book Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts by John F. Ehlers , 2013, page 192:
"The third algorithm for computing the dominant cycle is the homodyne approach. Homodyne means the signal is multiplied by itself. More precisely, we want to multiply the signal of the current bar with the complex value of the signal one bar ago. The complex conjugate is, by definition, a complex number whose sign of the imaginary component has been reversed."
What is the Instantaneous Cycle?
The Instantaneous Cycle Period Measurement was authored by John Ehlers; it is built upon his Hilbert Transform Indicator.
From his Ehlers' book Cybernetic Analysis for Stocks and Futures: Cutting-Edge DSP Technology to Improve Your Trading by John F. Ehlers, 2004, page 107:
"It is obvious that cycles exist in the market. They can be found on any chart by the most casual observer. What is not so clear is how to identify those cycles in real time and how to take advantage of their existence. When Welles Wilder first introduced the relative strength index (rsi), I was curious as to why he selected 14 bars as the basis of his calculations. I reasoned that if i knew the correct market conditions, then i could make indicators such as the rsi adaptive to those conditions. Cycles were the answer. I knew cycles could be measured. Once i had the cyclic measurement, a host of automatically adaptive indicators could follow.
Measurement of market cycles is not easy. The signal-to-noise ratio is often very low, making measurement difficult even using a good measurement technique. Additionally, the measurements theoretically involve simultaneously solving a triple infinity of parameter values. The parameters required for the general solutions were frequency, amplitude, and phase. Some standard engineering tools, like fast fourier transforms (ffs), are simply not appropriate for measuring market cycles because ffts cannot simultaneously meet the stationarity constraints and produce results with reasonable resolution. Therefore i introduced maximum entropy spectral analysis (mesa) for the measurement of market cycles. This approach, originally developed to interpret seismographic information for oil exploration, produces high-resolution outputs with an exceptionally short amount of information. A short data length improves the probability of having nearly stationary data. Stationary data means that frequency and amplitude are constant over the length of the data. I noticed over the years that the cycles were ephemeral. Their periods would be continuously increasing and decreasing. Their amplitudes also were changing, giving variable signal-to-noise ratio conditions. Although all this is going on with the cyclic components, the enduring characteristic is that generally only one tradable cycle at a time is present for the data set being used. I prefer the term dominant cycle to denote that one component. The assumption that there is only one cycle in the data collapses the difficulty of the measurement process dramatically."
What is the Band-pass Cycle?
From his Ehlers' book Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts by John F. Ehlers , 2013, page 47:
"Perhaps the least appreciated and most underutilized filter in technical analysis is the band-pass filter. The band-pass filter simultaneously diminishes the amplitude at low frequencies, qualifying it as a detrender, and diminishes the amplitude at high frequencies, qualifying it as a data smoother. It passes only those frequency components from input to output in which the trader is interested. The filtering produced by a band-pass filter is superior because the rejection in the stop bands is related to its bandwidth. The degree of rejection of undesired frequency components is called selectivity. The band-stop filter is the dual of the band-pass filter. It rejects a band of frequency components as a notch at the output and passes all other frequency components virtually unattenuated. Since the bandwidth of the deep rejection in the notch is relatively narrow and since the spectrum of market cycles is relatively broad due to systemic noise, the band-stop filter has little application in trading."
From his Ehlers' book Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts by John F. Ehlers , 2013, page 59:
"The band-pass filter can be used as a relatively simple measurement of the dominant cycle. A cycle is complete when the waveform crosses zero two times from the last zero crossing. Therefore, each successive zero crossing of the indicator marks a half cycle period. We can establish the dominant cycle period as twice the spacing between successive zero crossings."
What is Composite Fractal Behavior (CFB)?
All around you mechanisms adjust themselves to their environment. From simple thermostats that react to air temperature to computer chips in modern cars that respond to changes in engine temperature, r.p.m.'s, torque, and throttle position. It was only a matter of time before fast desktop computers applied the mathematics of self-adjustment to systems that trade the financial markets.
Unlike basic systems with fixed formulas, an adaptive system adjusts its own equations. For example, start with a basic channel breakout system that uses the highest closing price of the last N bars as a threshold for detecting breakouts on the up side. An adaptive and improved version of this system would adjust N according to market conditions, such as momentum, price volatility or acceleration.
Since many systems are based directly or indirectly on cycles, another useful measure of market condition is the periodic length of a price chart's dominant cycle, (DC), that cycle with the greatest influence on price action.
The utility of this new DC measure was noted by author Murray Ruggiero in the January '96 issue of Futures Magazine. In it. Mr. Ruggiero used it to adaptive adjust the value of N in a channel breakout system. He then simulated trading 15 years of D-Mark futures in order to compare its performance to a similar system that had a fixed optimal value of N. The adaptive version produced 20% more profit!
This DC index utilized the popular MESA algorithm (a formulation by John Ehlers adapted from Burg's maximum entropy algorithm, MEM). Unfortunately, the DC approach is problematic when the market has no real dominant cycle momentum, because the mathematics will produce a value whether or not one actually exists! Therefore, we developed a proprietary indicator that does not presuppose the presence of market cycles. It's called CFB (Composite Fractal Behavior) and it works well whether or not the market is cyclic.
CFB examines price action for a particular fractal pattern, categorizes them by size, and then outputs a composite fractal size index. This index is smooth, timely and accurate
Essentially, CFB reveals the length of the market's trending action time frame. Long trending activity produces a large CFB index and short choppy action produces a small index value. Investors have found many applications for CFB which involve scaling other existing technical indicators adaptively, on a bar-to-bar basis.
What is VHF Adaptive Cycle?
Vertical Horizontal Filter (VHF) was created by Adam White to identify trending and ranging markets. VHF measures the level of trend activity, similar to ADX DI. Vertical Horizontal Filter does not, itself, generate trading signals, but determines whether signals are taken from trend or momentum indicators. Using this trend information, one is then able to derive an average cycle length.
Trade Manager (Open-Source & Non-Standalone Version)Happy Friday everyone
TGIF !!!!!! The weekend for me means no script publishing and enjoying the sun
As a weekday vampire, I'll go out and try to survive the sunlight or I'll prepare the indicators to share for next week. Not sure at this point....
This week, I shared a Trade Manager Trade-Manager-Open-Source-Version/ that you need to get connected to your indicator
Some traders asked if I could give away an alternative version meaning they'll have their own indicator separately and once they'll get their signal, they'll add the Trade Manager to manage their take profits and stop losses. (I'm working for Tradingview charity apparently ^^)
I liked the idea a lot !!! I like it even more that this idea came from followera that I don't even know
How does it work ?
Basically, chose any indicator you want. Once you get your signal/alert, get in the trade with your broker, and add the Trade Manager (Non-Standalone Version) (note the Non-Standalone Version) <=
This is realy important !!
So this was defintively the Trade Manager week... I feel I shared one alternative of that tool a day. (might get banned for copy/pasting myself too much)
Not sure of how I managed it anyway but now let's summarize what you have in your trading toolkit so far :
- Trade Manager to be used DIRECTLY with another indicator : Trade-Manager-Open-Source-Version/
- Trade Manager to be used INDIRECTLY with another indicator : the one I'm sharing right now
- Risk/Reward & PnL & Errors management tool : Risk-Reward-InfoPanel/
If you want to build your own signals in a few clicks only, feel free to share my Algorithm/Strategy builder Strategy-Builder-Crypto-Single-Trend-Plots/
I made it so that you guys can build you own custom signals and then why not, plugging them to the Trade Manager and to the Risk/Reward indicators..... That's now that you're supposed to connect the dots and realizing that all indicators shared this week are deeply linked and powerful when well used together :-)
Wishing y'all a great weekend and see you Monday, well rested and fresh for a new set of indicators
_____________________________________________________________

Volume-Weighted Money Flow [sgbpulse]Overview
The VWMF indicator is an advanced technical analysis tool that combines and summarizes five leading momentum and volume indicators (OBV, PVT, A/D, CMF, MFI) into one clear oscillator. The indicator helps to provide a clear picture of market sentiment by measuring the pressure from buyers and sellers. Unlike single indicators, VWMF provides a comprehensive view of market money flow by weighting existing indicators and presenting them in a uniform and understandable format.
Indicator Components
VWMF combines the following indicators, each normalized to a range of 0 to 100 before being weighted:
On-Balance Volume (OBV): A cumulative indicator that measures positive and negative volume flow.
Price-Volume Trend (PVT): Similar to OBV, but incorporates relative price change for a more precise measure.
Accumulation/Distribution Line (A/D): Used to identify whether an asset is being bought (accumulated) or sold (distributed).
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF): Measures the money flow over a period based on the close price's position relative to the candle's range.
Money Flow Index (MFI): A momentum oscillator that combines price and volume to measure buying and selling pressure.
Understanding the Normalized Oscillators
The indicator combines the five different momentum indicators by normalizing each one to a uniform range of 0 to 100 .
Why is Normalization Important?
Indicators like OBV, PVT, and the A/D Line are cumulative indicators whose values can become very large. To assess their trend, we use a Moving Average as a dynamic reference line . The Moving Average allows us to understand whether the indicator is currently trending up or down relative to its average behavior over time.
How Does Normalization Work?
Our normalization fully preserves the original trend of each indicator.
For Cumulative Indicators (OBV, PVT, A/D): We calculate the difference between the current indicator value and its Moving Average. This difference is then passed to the normalization process.
- If the indicator is above its Moving Average, the difference will be positive, and the normalized value will be above 50.
- If the indicator is below its Moving Average, the difference will be negative, and the normalized value will be below 50.
Handling Extreme Values: To overcome the issue of extreme values in indicators like OBV, PVT, and the A/D Line , the function calculates the highest absolute value over the selected period. This value is used to prevent sharp spikes or drops in a single indicator from compromising the accuracy of the normalization over time. It's a sophisticated method that ensures the oscillators remain relevant and accurate.
For Bounded Indicators (CMF, MFI): These indicators already operate within a known range (for example, CMF is between -1 and 1, and MFI is between 0 and 100), so they are normalized directly without an additional reference line.
Reference Line Settings:
Moving Average Type: Allows the user to choose between a Simple Moving Average (SMA) and an Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
Volume Flow MA Length: Allows the user to set the lookback period for the Moving Average, which affects the indicator's sensitivity.
The 50 line serves as the new "center line." This ensures that, even after normalization, the determination of whether a specific indicator supports a bullish or bearish trend remains clear.
Settings and Visual Tools
The indicator offers several customization options to provide a rich analysis experience:
VWMF Oscillator (Blue Line): Represents the weighted average of all five indicators. Values above 50 indicate bullish momentum, and values below 50 indicate bearish momentum.
Strength Metrics (Bullish/Bearish Strength %): Two metrics that appear on the status line, showing the percentage of indicators supporting the current trend. They range from 0% to 100%, providing a quick view of the strength of the consensus.
Dynamic Background Colors: The background color of the chart automatically changes to bullish (a blue shade by default) or bearish (a default brown-gray shade) based on the trend. The transparency of the color shows the consensus strength—the more opaque the background, the more indicators support the trend.
Advanced Settings:
- Background Color Logic: Allows the user to choose the trigger for the background color: Weighted Value (based on the combined oscillator) or Strength (based on the majority of individual indicators).
- Weights: Provides full control over the weight of each of the five indicators in the final oscillator.
Using the Data Window
TradingView provides a useful Data Window that allows you to see the exact numerical values of each normalized oscillator separately, in addition to the trend strength data.
You can use this window to:
Get more detailed information on each indicator: Viewing the precise numerical data of each of the five indicators can help in making trading decisions.
Calibrate weights: If you want to manually adjust the indicator weights (in the settings menu), you can do so while tracking the impact of each indicator on the weighted oscillator in the Data Window.
The indicator's default setting is an equal weight of 20% for each of the five indicators.
Alert Conditions
The indicator comes with a variety of built-in alerts that can be configured through the TradingView alerts menu:
VWMF Cross Above 50: An alert when the VWMF oscillator crosses above the 50 line, indicating a potential bullish momentum shift.
VWMF Cross Below 50: An alert when the VWMF oscillator crosses below the 50 line, indicating a potential bearish momentum shift.
Bullish Strength: High But Not Absolute Consensus: An alert when the bullish trend strength reaches 60% or more but is less than 100%, indicating a high but not absolute consensus.
Bullish Strength at 100%: An alert when all five indicators (MFI, OBV, PVT, A/D, CMF) show bullish strength, indicating a full and absolute consensus.
Bearish Strength: High But Not Absolute Consensus: An alert when the bearish trend strength reaches 60% or more but is less than 100%, indicating a high but not absolute consensus.
Bearish Strength at 100%: An alert when all five indicators (MFI, OBV, PVT, A/D, CMF) show bearish strength, indicating a full and absolute consensus.
Summary
The VWMF indicator is a powerful, all-in-one tool for analyzing market momentum, money flow, and sentiment. By combining and normalizing five different indicators into a single oscillator, it offers a holistic and accurate view of the market's underlying trend. Its dynamic visual features and customizable settings, including the ability to adjust indicator weights, provide a flexible experience for both novice and experienced traders. The built-in alerts for momentum shifts and trend consensus make it an effective tool for spotting trading opportunities with confidence. In essence, VWMF distills complex market data into clear, actionable signals.

Combo 4+ KDJ STO RSI EMA3 Visual Trend Pine V5 @ RL
Combo 4+ KDJ STO RSI EMA3 Visual Trend Pine V5 @ RL is a visual trend following indicator that groups and combines four trend following indicators. It is compiled in PINE Script Version V5 language.
• STOCH: Stochastic oscillator.
• RSI Divergence: Relative Strength Index Divergence. RSI Divergence is a difference between a fast and a slow RSI.
• KDJ: KDJ Indicator. (trend following indicator).
• EMA Triple: 3 exponential moving averages (Default display).
This indicator is intended to help beginners (and also the more experienced ones) to trade in the right direction of the market trend. It allows you to avoid the mistakes of always trading against the trend.
The calculation codes of the different indicators used are standard public codes used in the usual TradingView coding for these indicators.
The STO indicator calculation script is taken from TradingView's standard STOCH calculation.
The RSI indicator calculation script is a replica of the one created by @Shizaru.
The KDJ indicator calculation script is a replica of the one created by @iamaltcoin.
The Triple EMA indicator calculation script is a replica of the one created by @jwilcharts.
This indicator can be configured to your liking. It can even be used several times on the same graph (multi-instance), with different configurations or display of another indicator among the four that compose it, according to your needs or your tastes.
A single plot, among the 4 indicators that make it up, can be displayed at a time, but either with its own trend or with the trend of the 4 (3 by default) combined indicators (sell=green or buy=red, background color).
Trend indications (potential sell or buy areas) are displayed as a background color (bullish: green or bearish: red) when at least three of the four indicators (3 by default and configurable from 1 to 4) assume that the market is moving in the same direction. These trend indications can be configured and displayed, either only for the signal of the selected indicator and displayed, or for the signals of the four indicators together and combined (logical AND).
You can tune the input, style and visibility settings of each indicator to match your own preferences or habits.
A 'buy stop' or 'sell stop' signal is displayed (layouts) in the form of a colored square (green for 'stop buy' and red for 'stop sell'. These 'stop' signals can be configured and displayed, either only for the indicator chosen, or for the four indicators together and combined (logical OR).
Note that the presence of a Stop Long signal cancels the background color of the Long trend (green).
Likewise, the presence of a Stop Short signal cancels out the background color of the Short trend (red).
It is also made up of 3 labels:
• Trend Label
• signal Stop Label (signals Stop buy or sell )
• Info Label (Names of Long / Short / Stop Long / Stop Short indicators, and / Open / Close / High / Low ).
Each label is configurable (visibility and position on the graph).
• Trend label: indicates the number of indicators suggesting the same trend (Long or Short) as well as a strength index (PWR) of this trend: For example: 3 indicators in Short trend, 1 indicator in Long trend and 1 indicator in neutral trend will give: PWR SHORT = 2/4. (3 Short indicators - 1 Long indicator = 2 Pwr Short). And if PWR = 0 then the display is "Wait and See". It also indicates which current indicator is displayed and the display mode used (combined 1 to 4 indicators or not combined ).
• Signal Stop Label: Indicates a possible stop of the current trend.
• Label Info (Simple or Full) gives trend info for each of the 4 indicators and OHLC info for the chart (in “Full” mode).
It is possible to display this indicator several times on a chart (up to 3 indicators max with the Basic TradingView Plan and more with the paid plans), with different configurations: For example:
• 1-Stochastic - 2/4 Combined Signals - no Label displayed
• 1-RSI - Combined Signals 3/4 - Stop Label only displayed
• 1-KDJ - Combined Signals 4/4 - the 3 Labels displayed
• 1-EMA'3 - Non-combined signals (EMA only) - Trend Label displayed
Some indicators have filters / thresholds that can be configured according to your convenience and experience!
The choice of indicator colors is suitable for a graph with a "dark" theme, which you will probably need to modify for visual comfort, if you are using a "Light" mode or a custom mode.
This script is an indicator that you can run on standard chart types. It also works on non-standard chart types but the results will be skewed and different.
Non-standard charts are:
• Heikin Ashi (HA)
• Renko
• Kagi
• Point & Figure
• Range
As a reminder: No indicator is capable of providing accurate signals 100% of the time. Every now and then, even the best will fail, leaving you with a losing deal. Whichever indicator you base yourself on, remember to follow the basic rules of risk management and capital allocation.

Recession Warning Model [BackQuant]Recession Warning Model
Overview
The Recession Warning Model (RWM) is a Pine Script® indicator designed to estimate the probability of an economic recession by integrating multiple macroeconomic, market sentiment, and labor market indicators. It combines over a dozen data series into a transparent, adaptive, and actionable tool for traders, portfolio managers, and researchers. The model provides customizable complexity levels, display modes, and data processing options to accommodate various analytical requirements while ensuring robustness through dynamic weighting and regime-aware adjustments.
Purpose
The RWM fulfills the need for a concise yet comprehensive tool to monitor recession risk. Unlike approaches relying on a single metric, such as yield-curve inversion, or extensive economic reports, it consolidates multiple data sources into a single probability output. The model identifies active indicators, their confidence levels, and the current economic regime, enabling users to anticipate downturns and adjust strategies accordingly.
Core Features
- Indicator Families : Incorporates 13 indicators across five categories: Yield, Labor, Sentiment, Production, and Financial Stress.
- Dynamic Weighting : Adjusts indicator weights based on recent predictive accuracy, constrained within user-defined boundaries.
- Leading and Coincident Split : Separates early-warning (leading) and confirmatory (coincident) signals, with adjustable weighting (default 60/40 mix).
- Economic Regime Sensitivity : Modulates output sensitivity based on market conditions (Expansion, Late-Cycle, Stress, Crisis), using a composite of VIX, yield-curve, financial conditions, and credit spreads.
- Display Options : Supports four modes—Probability (0-100%), Binary (four risk bins), Lead/Coincident, and Ensemble (blended probability).
- Confidence Intervals : Reflects model stability, widening during high volatility or conflicting signals.
- Alerts : Configurable thresholds (Watch, Caution, Warning, Alert) with persistence filters to minimize false signals.
- Data Export : Enables CSV output for probabilities, signals, and regimes, facilitating external analysis in Python or R.
Model Complexity Levels
Users can select from four tiers to balance simplicity and depth:
1. Essential : Focuses on three core indicators—yield-curve spread, jobless claims, and unemployment change—for minimalistic monitoring.
2. Standard : Expands to nine indicators, adding consumer confidence, PMI, VIX, S&P 500 trend, money supply vs. GDP, and the Sahm Rule.
3. Professional : Includes all 13 indicators, incorporating financial conditions, credit spreads, JOLTS vacancies, and wage growth.
4. Research : Unlocks all indicators plus experimental settings for advanced users.
Key Indicators
Below is a summary of the 13 indicators, their data sources, and economic significance:
- Yield-Curve Spread : Difference between 10-year and 3-month Treasury yields. Negative spreads signal banking sector stress.
- Jobless Claims : Four-week moving average of unemployment claims. Sustained increases indicate rising layoffs.
- Unemployment Change : Three-month change in unemployment rate. Sharp rises often precede recessions.
- Sahm Rule : Triggers when unemployment rises 0.5% above its 12-month low, a reliable recession indicator.
- Consumer Confidence : University of Michigan survey. Declines reflect household pessimism, impacting spending.
- PMI : Purchasing Managers’ Index. Values below 50 indicate manufacturing contraction.
- VIX : CBOE Volatility Index. Elevated levels suggest market anticipation of economic distress.
- S&P 500 Growth : Weekly moving average trend. Declines reduce wealth effects, curbing consumption.
- M2 + GDP Trend : Monitors money supply and real GDP. Simultaneous declines signal credit contraction.
- NFCI : Chicago Fed’s National Financial Conditions Index. Positive values indicate tighter conditions.
- Credit Spreads : Proxy for corporate bond spreads using 10-year vs. 2-year Treasury yields. Widening spreads reflect stress.
- JOLTS Vacancies : Job openings data. Significant drops precede hiring slowdowns.
- Wage Growth : Year-over-year change in average hourly earnings. Late-cycle spikes often signal economic overheating.
Data Processing
- Rate of Change (ROC) : Optionally applied to capture momentum in data series (default: 21-bar period).
- Z-Score Normalization : Standardizes indicators to a common scale (default: 252-bar lookback).
- Smoothing : Applies a short moving average to final signals (default: 5-bar period) to reduce noise.
- Binary Signals : Generated for each indicator (e.g., yield-curve inverted or PMI below 50) based on thresholds or Z-score deviations.
Probability Calculation
1. Each indicator’s binary signal is weighted according to user settings or dynamic performance.
2. Weights are normalized to sum to 100% across active indicators.
3. Leading and coincident signals are aggregated separately (if split mode is enabled) and combined using the specified mix.
4. The probability is adjusted by a regime multiplier, amplifying risk during Stress or Crisis regimes.
5. Optional smoothing ensures stable outputs.
Display and Visualization
- Probability Mode : Plots a continuous 0-100% recession probability with color gradients and confidence bands.
- Binary Mode : Categorizes risk into four levels (Minimal, Watch, Caution, Alert) for simplified dashboards.
- Lead/Coincident Mode : Displays leading and coincident probabilities separately to track signal divergence.
- Ensemble Mode : Averages traditional and split probabilities for a balanced view.
- Regime Background : Color-coded overlays (green for Expansion, orange for Late-Cycle, amber for Stress, red for Crisis).
- Analytics Table : Optional dashboard showing probability, confidence, regime, and top indicator statuses.
Practical Applications
- Asset Allocation : Adjust equity or bond exposures based on sustained probability increases.
- Risk Management : Hedge portfolios with VIX futures or options during regime shifts to Stress or Crisis.
- Sector Rotation : Shift toward defensive sectors when coincident signals rise above 50%.
- Trading Filters : Disable short-term strategies during high-risk regimes.
- Event Timing : Scale positions ahead of high-impact data releases when probability and VIX are elevated.
Configuration Guidelines
- Enable ROC and Z-score for consistent indicator comparison unless raw data is preferred.
- Use dynamic weighting with at least one economic cycle of data for optimal performance.
- Monitor stress composite scores above 80 alongside probabilities above 70 for critical risk signals.
- Adjust adaptation speed (default: 0.1) to 0.2 during Crisis regimes for faster indicator prioritization.
- Combine RWM with complementary tools (e.g., liquidity metrics) for intraday or short-term trading.
Limitations
- Macro indicators lag intraday market moves, making RWM better suited for strategic rather than tactical trading.
- Historical data availability may constrain dynamic weighting on shorter timeframes.
- Model accuracy depends on the quality and timeliness of economic data feeds.
Final Note
The Recession Warning Model provides a disciplined framework for monitoring economic downturn risks. By integrating diverse indicators with transparent weighting and regime-aware adjustments, it empowers users to make informed decisions in portfolio management, risk hedging, or macroeconomic research. Regular review of model outputs alongside market-specific tools ensures its effective application across varying market conditions.

Uptrick: Universal Z-Score ValuationOverview
The Uptrick: Universal Z-Score Valuation is a tool designed to help traders spot when the market might be overreacting—whether that’s on the upside or the downside. It does this by combining the Z-scores of multiple key indicators into a single average, letting you see how far the current market conditions have stretched away from “normal.” This average is shown as a smooth line, supported by color-coded visuals, signal markers, optional background highlights, and a live breakdown table that shows the contribution of each indicator in real time. The focus here is on spotting potential reversals, not following trends. The indicator works well across all timeframes and asset classes, from fast intraday charts like the 1-minute and 5-minute, to higher timeframes such as the 4-hour, daily, or even weekly. Its universal design makes it suitable for any market — whether you're trading crypto, stocks, forex, or commodities.
Introduction
To understand what this indicator does, let’s start with the idea of a Z-score. In simple terms, a Z-score tells you how far a number is from the average of its recent history, measured in standard deviations. If the price of an asset is two standard deviations above its mean, that means it’s statistically “rare” or extended. That doesn’t guarantee a reversal—but it suggests the move is unusual enough to pay attention.
This concept isn’t new, but what this indicator does differently is apply the Z-score to a wide set of market signals—not just price. It looks at momentum, volatility, volume, risk-adjusted performance, and even institutional price baselines. Each of those indicators is normalized using Z-scores, and then they’re combined into one average. This gives you a single, easy-to-read line that summarizes whether the entire market is behaving abnormally. Instead of reacting to one indicator, you’re reacting to a statistically balanced blend.
Purpose
The goal of this script is to catch turning points—places where the market may be topping out or bottoming after becoming overstretched. It’s built for traders who want to fade sharp moves rather than follow trends. Think of moments when price explodes upward and starts pulling away from every moving average, volume spikes, volatility rises, and RSI shoots up. This tool is meant to spot those situations—not just when price is stretched, but when multiple different indicators agree that something is overdone.
Originality and Uniqueness
Most indicators that use Z-scores only apply them to one thing—price, RSI, or maybe Bollinger Bands. This one is different because it treats each indicator as a contributor to the full picture. You decide which ones to include, and the script averages them out. This makes the tool flexible but also deeply informative.
It doesn’t rely on complex or hidden math. It uses basic Z-score formulas, applies them to well-known indicators, and shows you the result. What makes it unique is the way it brings those signals together—statistically, visually, and interactively—so you can see what’s happening in the moment with full transparency. It’s not trying to be flashy or predictive. It’s just showing you when things have gone too far, too fast.
Inputs and Parameters
This indicator includes a wide range of configurable inputs, allowing users to customize which components are included in the Z-score average, how each indicator is calculated, and how results are displayed visually. Below is a detailed explanation of each input:
General Settings
Z-Score Lookback (default: 100): Number of bars used to calculate the mean and standard deviation for Z-score normalization. Larger values smooth the Z-scores; smaller values make them more reactive.
Bar Color Mode (default: None): Determines how bars are visually colored. Options include: None: No candle coloring applied. - Heat: Smooth gradient based on the Z-score value. - Latest Signal: Applies a solid color based on the most recent buy or sell signal
Boolean - General
Plot Universal Valuation Line (default: true): If enabled, plots the average Z-score (zAvg) line in the separate pane.
Show Signals (default: true): Displays labels ("𝓤𝓹" for buy, "𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷" for sell) when zAvg crosses above or below user-defined thresholds.
Show Z-Score Table (default: true): Displays a live table listing each enabled indicator's Z-score and the current average.
Select Indicators
These toggles enable or disable each indicator from contributing to the Z-score average:
Use VWAP Z-Score (default: true)
Use Sortino Z-Score (default: true)
Use ROC Z-Score (default: true)
Use Price Z-Score (default: true)
Use MACD Histogram Z-Score (default: false)
Use Bollinger %B Z-Score (default: false)
Use Stochastic K Z-Score (default: false)
Use Volume Z-Score (default: false)
Use ATR Z-Score (default: false)
Use RSI Z-Score (default: false)
Use Omega Z-Score (default: true)
Use Sharpe Z-Score (default: true)
Only enabled indicators are included in the average. This modular design allows traders to tailor the signal mix to their preferences.
Indicator Lengths
These inputs control how each individual indicator is calculated:
MACD Fast Length (default: 12)
MACD Slow Length (default: 26)
MACD Signal Length (default: 9)
Bollinger Basis Length (default: 20): Used to compute the Bollinger %B.
Bollinger Deviation Multiplier (default: 2.0): Standard deviation multiplier for the Bollinger Band calculation.
Stochastic Length (default: 14)
ATR Length (default: 14)
RSI Length (default: 14)
ROC Length (default: 10)
Zones
These thresholds define key signal levels for the Z-score average:
Neutral Line Level (default: 0): Baseline for the average Z-score.
Bullish Zone Level (default: -1): Optional intermediate zone suggesting early bullish conditions.
Bearish Zone Level (default: 1): Optional intermediate zone suggesting early bearish conditions.
Z = +2 Line Level (default: 2): Primary threshold for bearish signals.
Z = +3 Line Level (default: 3): Extreme bearish warning level.
Z = -2 Line Level (default: -2): Primary threshold for bullish signals.
Z = -3 Line Level (default: -3): Extreme bullish warning level.
These zone levels are used to generate signals, fill background shading, and draw horizontal lines for visual reference.
Why These Indicators Were Merged
Each indicator in this script was chosen for a specific reason. They all measure something different but complementary.
The VWAP Z-score helps you see when price has moved far from the volume-weighted average, often used by institutions.
Sortino Ratio Z-score focuses only on downside risk, which is often more relevant to traders than overall volatility.
ROC Z-score shows how fast price is changing—strong momentum may burn out quickly.
Price Z-score is the raw measure of how far current price has moved from its mean.
RSI Z-score shows whether momentum itself is stretched.
MACD Histogram Z-score captures shifts in trend strength and acceleration.
%B (Bollinger) Z-score indicates how close price is to the upper or lower volatility envelope.
Stochastic K Z-score gives a sense of how high or low price is relative to its recent range.
Volume Z-score shows when trading activity is unusually high or low.
ATR Z-score gives a read on volatility, showing if price movement is expanding or contracting.
Sharpe Z-score measures reward-to-risk performance, useful for evaluating trend quality.
Omega Z-score looks at the ratio of good returns to bad ones, offering a more nuanced view of efficiency.
By normalizing each of these using Z-scores and averaging only the ones you turn on, the script creates a flexible, balanced view of the market’s statistical stretch.
Calculations
The core formula is the standard Z-score:
Z = (current value - average) / standard deviation
Every indicator uses this formula after it’s calculated using your chosen settings. For example, RSI is first calculated as usual, then its Z-score is calculated over your selected lookback period. The script does this for every indicator you enable. Then it averages those Z-scores together to create a single value: zAvg. That value is plotted and used to generate visual cues, signals, table values, background color changes, and candle coloring.
Sequence
Each selected indicator is calculated using your custom input lengths.
The Z-score of each indicator is computed using the shared lookback period.
All active Z-scores are added up and averaged.
The resulting zAvg value is plotted as a line.
Signal conditions check if zAvg crosses user-defined thresholds (default: ±2).
If enabled, the script plots buy/sell signal labels at those crossover points.
The candle color is updated using your selected mode (heatmap or signal-based).
If extreme Z-scores are reached, background highlighting is applied.
A live table updates with each individual Z-score so you know what’s driving the signal.
Features
This script isn’t just about stats—it’s about making them usable in real time. Every feature has a clear reason to exist, and they’re all there to give you a better read on market conditions.
1. Universal Z-Score Line
This is your primary reference. It reflects the average Z-score across all selected indicators. The line updates live and is color-coded to show how far it is from neutral. The further it gets from 0, the brighter the color becomes—cyan for deeply oversold conditions, magenta for overbought. This gives you instant feedback on how statistically “hot” or “cold” the market is, without needing to read any numbers.
2. Signal Labels (“𝓤𝓹” and “𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷”)
When the average Z-score drops below your lower bound, you’ll see a "𝓤𝓹" label below the bar, suggesting potential bullish reversal conditions. When it rises above the upper bound, a "𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷" label is shown above the bar—indicating possible bearish exhaustion. These labels are visually clear and minimal so they don’t clutter your chart. They're based on clear crossover logic and do not repaint.
3. Real-Time Z-Score Table
The table shows each indicator's individual Z-score and the final average. It updates every bar, giving you a transparent breakdown of what’s happening under the hood. If the market is showing an extreme average score, this table helps you pinpoint which indicators are contributing the most—so you’re not just guessing where the pressure is coming from.
4. Bar Coloring Modes
You can choose from three modes:
None: Keeps your candles clean and untouched.
Heat: Applies a smooth gradient color based on Z-score intensity. As conditions become more extreme, candle color transitions from neutral to either cyan (bullish pressure) or magenta (bearish pressure).
Latest Signal: Applies hard coloring based on the most recent signal—greenish for a buy, purple for a sell. This mode is great for tracking market state at a glance without relying on a gradient.
Every part of the candle is colored—body, wick, and border—for full visibility.
5. Background Highlighting
When zAvg enters an extreme zone (typically above +2 or below -2), the background shifts color to reflect the market’s intensity. These changes aren’t overwhelming—they’re light fills that act as ambient warnings, helping you stay aware of when price might be reaching a tipping point.
6. Customizable Zone Lines and Fills
You can define what counts as neutral, overbought, and oversold using manual inputs. Horizontal lines show your thresholds, and shaded regions highlight the most extreme zones (+2 to +3 and -2 to -3). These lines give you visual structure to understand where price currently stands in relation to your personal reversal model.
7. Modular Indicator Control
You don’t have to use all the indicators. You can enable or disable any of the 12 with a simple checkbox. This means you can build your own “blend” of market context—maybe you only care about RSI, price, and volume. Or maybe you want everything on. The script adapts accordingly, only averaging what you select.
8. Fully Customizable Sensitivity and Lengths
You can adjust the Z-score lookback length globally (default 100), and tweak individual indicator lengths separately. This lets you tune the indicator’s responsiveness to suit your trading style—slower for longer swings, faster for scalping.
9. Clean Integration with Any Chart Layout
All visual elements are designed to be informative without taking over your chart. The coloring is soft but clear, the labels are readable without being huge, and you can turn off any feature you don’t need. The indicator can work as a full dashboard or as a simple line with a couple of alerts—it’s up to you.
10. Precise, Real-Time Signal Logic
The crossover logic for signals is exact and only fires when the Z-score moves across your defined boundary. No estimation, no delay. Everything is calculated based on current and previous bar data, and nothing repaints or back-adjusts.
Conclusion
The Universal Z-Score Valuation indicator is a tool for traders who want a clear, unbiased way to detect overextension. Instead of relying on a single signal, you get a composite of several market perspectives—momentum, volatility, volume, and more—all standardized into a single view. The script gives you the freedom to control the logic, the visuals, and the components. Whether you use it as a confirmation tool or a primary signal source, it’s designed to give you clarity when markets become chaotic.

Volatility-Adjusted Momentum Score (VAMS) [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Volatility-Adjusted Momentum Score (VAMS) measures price momentum relative to current volatility conditions, creating a normalized indicator that identifies significant directional moves while filtering out market noise. It divides annualized momentum by annualized volatility to produce scores that remain comparable across different market environments and asset classes.
The indicator displays a smoothed VAMS Z-Score line with adaptive standard deviation bands and an information table showing real-time metrics. This dual-purpose design enables traders and investors to identify strong trend continuation signals when momentum persistently exceeds normal levels, while also spotting potential mean reversion opportunities when readings reach statistical extremes.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator calculates annualized momentum using a simple moving average of logarithmic returns over a specified period, then measures annualized volatility through the standard deviation of those same returns over a longer timeframe. The raw VAMS score divides momentum by volatility, creating a risk-adjusted measure where high volatility reduces scores and low volatility amplifies them.
This raw VAMS value undergoes Z-Score normalization using rolling statistical parameters, converting absolute readings into standardized deviations that show how current conditions compare to recent history. The normalized Z-Score receives exponential moving average smoothing to create the final VAMS line, reducing false signals while preserving sensitivity to meaningful momentum changes.
The visualization includes dynamically calculated standard deviation bands that adjust to recent VAMS behavior, creating statistical reference zones. The information table provides real-time numerical values for VAMS Z-Score, underlying momentum percentages, and current volatility readings with trend indicators.
🟢 How to Use
1. VAMS Z-Score Bands and Signal Interpretation
Above Mean Line: Momentum exceeds historical averages adjusted for volatility, indicating bullish conditions suitable for trend following
Below Mean Line: Momentum falls below statistical norms, suggesting bearish conditions or downward pressure
Mean Line Crossovers: Primary transition signals between bullish and bearish momentum regimes
1 Standard Deviation Breaks: Strong momentum conditions indicating statistically significant directional moves worth following
2 Standard Deviation Extremes: Rare momentum readings that often signal either powerful breakouts or exhaustion points
2. Information Table and Market Context
Z-Score Values: Current VAMS reading displayed in standard deviations (σ), showing how far momentum deviates from its statistical norm
Momentum Percentage: Underlying annualized momentum displayed as percentage return, quantifying the directional strength
Volatility Context: Current annualized volatility levels help interpret whether VAMS readings occur in high or low volatility environments
Trend Indicators: Directional arrows and change values provide immediate feedback on momentum shifts and market transitions
3. Strategy Applications and Alert System
Trend Following: Use sustained readings beyond the mean line and 1σ band penetrations for directional trades, especially when VAMS maintains position in upper or lower statistical zones
Mean Reversion: Focus on 2σ extreme readings for contrarian opportunities, particularly effective in sideways markets where momentum tends to revert to statistical norms
Alert Notifications: Built-in alerts for mean crossovers (regime changes), 1σ breaks (strong signals), and 2σ touches (extreme conditions) help monitor multiple instruments for both continuation and reversal setups

Signal Reliability Based on Condition Count
The reliability of the buy/sell signals increases as more conditions are met. Here's a breakdown of the probabilities:
1. 1-3 Conditions Met: Lower Probability
o Signals that meet only 1-3 conditions tend to have lower reliability and are considered less probable. These signals may represent false positives or weaker market movements, and traders should approach them with caution.
2. 4 Conditions Met: More Reliable Signal
o When 4 conditions are met, the signal becomes more reliable. This indicates that multiple indicators or market patterns are aligning, increasing the likelihood of a valid buy/sell opportunity. While not foolproof, it's a stronger indication that the market may be moving in a particular direction.
3. 5-6 Conditions Met: Strong Signal
o A signal meeting 5-6 conditions is considered a strong signal. This indicates a well-confirmed move, with several technical indicators and market factors aligning to suggest a higher probability of success. These are the signals that traders often prioritize.
4. 7+ Conditions Met: Rare and High-Confidence Signal
o Signals that meet 7 or more conditions are rare and should be considered high-confidence signals. These represent a significant alignment of multiple factors, and while they are less frequent, they are highly reliable when they do occur. Traders can be more confident in acting on these signals, but they should still monitor market conditions for confirmation.
________________________________________
You can adjust the number of conditions as needed, but this breakdown should give a clear structure on how the signal strength correlates with the number of conditions met!
Half Causal EstimatorOverview
The Half Causal Estimator is a specialized filtering method that provides responsive averages of market variables (volume, true range, or price change) with significantly reduced time delay compared to traditional moving averages. It employs a hybrid approach that leverages both historical data and time-of-day patterns to create a timely representation of market activity while maintaining smooth output.
Core Concept
Traditional moving averages suffer from time lag, which can delay signals and reduce their effectiveness for real-time decision making. The Half Causal Estimator addresses this limitation by using a non-causal filtering method that incorporates recent historical data (the causal component) alongside expected future behavior based on time-of-day patterns (the non-causal component).
This dual approach allows the filter to respond more quickly to changing market conditions while maintaining smoothness. The name "Half Causal" refers to this hybrid methodology—half of the data window comes from actual historical observations, while the other half is derived from time-of-day patterns observed over multiple days. By incorporating these "future" values from past patterns, the estimator can reduce the inherent lag present in traditional moving averages.
How It Works
The indicator operates through several coordinated steps. First, it stores and organizes market data by specific times of day (minutes/hours). Then it builds a profile of typical behavior for each time period. For calculations, it creates a filtering window where half consists of recent actual data and half consists of expected future values based on historical time-of-day patterns. Finally, it applies a kernel-based smoothing function to weight the values in this composite window.
This approach is particularly effective because market variables like volume, true range, and price changes tend to follow recognizable intraday patterns (they are positive values without DC components). By leveraging these patterns, the indicator doesn't try to predict future values in the traditional sense, but rather incorporates the average historical behavior at those future times into the current estimate.
The benefit of using this "average future data" approach is that it counteracts the lag inherent in traditional moving averages. In a standard moving average, recent price action is underweighted because older data points hold equal influence. By incorporating time-of-day averages for future periods, the Half Causal Estimator essentially shifts the center of the filter window closer to the current bar, resulting in more timely outputs while maintaining smoothing benefits.
Understanding Kernel Smoothing
At the heart of the Half Causal Estimator is kernel smoothing, a statistical technique that creates weighted averages where points closer to the center receive higher weights. This approach offers several advantages over simple moving averages. Unlike simple moving averages that weight all points equally, kernel smoothing applies a mathematically defined weight distribution. The weighting function helps minimize the impact of outliers and random fluctuations. Additionally, by adjusting the kernel width parameter, users can fine-tune the balance between responsiveness and smoothness.
The indicator supports three kernel types. The Gaussian kernel uses a bell-shaped distribution that weights central points heavily while still considering distant points. The Epanechnikov kernel employs a parabolic function that provides efficient noise reduction with a finite support range. The Triangular kernel applies a linear weighting that decreases uniformly from center to edges. These kernel functions provide the mathematical foundation for how the filter processes the combined window of past and "future" data points.
Applicable Data Sources
The indicator can be applied to three different data sources: volume (the trading volume of the security), true range (expressed as a percentage, measuring volatility), and change (the absolute percentage change from one closing price to the next).
Each of these variables shares the characteristic of being consistently positive and exhibiting cyclical intraday patterns, making them ideal candidates for this filtering approach.
Practical Applications
The Half Causal Estimator excels in scenarios where timely information is crucial. It helps in identifying volume climaxes or diminishing volume trends earlier than conventional indicators. It can detect changes in volatility patterns with reduced lag. The indicator is also useful for recognizing shifts in price momentum before they become obvious in price action, and providing smoother data for algorithmic trading systems that require reduced noise without sacrificing timeliness.
When volatility or volume spikes occur, conventional moving averages typically lag behind, potentially causing missed opportunities or delayed responses. The Half Causal Estimator produces signals that align more closely with actual market turns.
Technical Implementation
The implementation of the Half Causal Estimator involves several technical components working together. Data collection and organization is the first step—the indicator maintains a data structure that organizes market data by specific times of day. This creates a historical record of how volume, true range, or price change typically behaves at each minute/hour of the trading day.
For each calculation, the indicator constructs a composite window consisting of recent actual data points from the current session (the causal half) and historical averages for upcoming time periods from previous sessions (the non-causal half). The selected kernel function is then applied to this composite window, creating a weighted average where points closer to the center receive higher weights according to the mathematical properties of the chosen kernel. Finally, the kernel weights are normalized to ensure the output maintains proper scaling regardless of the kernel type or width parameter.
This framework enables the indicator to leverage the predictable time-of-day components in market data without trying to predict specific future values. Instead, it uses average historical patterns to reduce lag while maintaining the statistical benefits of smoothing techniques.
Configuration Options
The indicator provides several customization options. The data period setting determines the number of days of observations to store (0 uses all available data). Filter length controls the number of historical data points for the filter (total window size is length × 2 - 1). Filter width adjusts the width of the kernel function. Users can also select between Gaussian, Epanechnikov, and Triangular kernel functions, and customize visual settings such as colors and line width.
These parameters allow for fine-tuning the balance between responsiveness and smoothness based on individual trading preferences and the specific characteristics of the traded instrument.
Limitations
The indicator requires minute-based intraday timeframes, securities with volume data (when using volume as the source), and sufficient historical data to establish time-of-day patterns.
Conclusion
The Half Causal Estimator represents an innovative approach to technical analysis that addresses one of the fundamental limitations of traditional indicators: time lag. By incorporating time-of-day patterns into its calculations, it provides a more timely representation of market variables while maintaining the noise-reduction benefits of smoothing. This makes it a valuable tool for traders who need to make decisions based on real-time information about volume, volatility, or price changes.
Squeeze Momentum Indicator Strategy [LazyBear + PineIndicators]The Squeeze Momentum Indicator Strategy (SQZMOM_LB Strategy) is an automated trading strategy based on the Squeeze Momentum Indicator developed by LazyBear, which itself is a modification of John Carter's "TTM Squeeze" concept from his book Mastering the Trade (Chapter 11). This strategy is designed to identify low-volatility phases in the market, which often precede explosive price movements, and to enter trades in the direction of the prevailing momentum.
Concept & Indicator Breakdown
The strategy employs a combination of Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC) to detect market squeezes:
Squeeze Condition:
When Bollinger Bands are inside the Keltner Channels (Black Crosses), volatility is low, signaling a potential upcoming price breakout.
When Bollinger Bands move outside Keltner Channels (Gray Crosses), the squeeze is released, indicating an expansion in volatility.
Momentum Calculation:
A linear regression-based momentum value is used instead of traditional momentum indicators.
The momentum histogram is color-coded to show strength and direction:
Lime/Green: Increasing bullish momentum
Red/Maroon: Increasing bearish momentum
Signal Colors:
Black: Market is in a squeeze (low volatility).
Gray: Squeeze is released, and volatility is expanding.
Blue: No squeeze condition is present.
Strategy Logic
The script uses historical volatility conditions and momentum trends to generate buy/sell signals and manage positions.
1. Entry Conditions
Long Position (Buy)
The squeeze just released (Gray Cross after Black Cross).
The momentum value is increasing and positive.
The momentum is at a local low compared to the past 100 bars.
The price is above the 100-period EMA.
The closing price is higher than the previous close.
Short Position (Sell)
The squeeze just released (Gray Cross after Black Cross).
The momentum value is decreasing and negative.
The momentum is at a local high compared to the past 100 bars.
The price is below the 100-period EMA.
The closing price is lower than the previous close.
2. Exit Conditions
Long Exit:
The momentum value starts decreasing (momentum lower than previous bar).
Short Exit:
The momentum value starts increasing (momentum higher than previous bar).
Position Sizing
Position size is dynamically adjusted based on 8% of strategy equity, divided by the current closing price, ensuring risk-adjusted trade sizes.
How to Use This Strategy
Apply on Suitable Markets:
Best for stocks, indices, and forex pairs with momentum-driven price action.
Works on multiple timeframes but is most effective on higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily).
Confirm Entries with Additional Indicators:
The author recommends ADX or WaveTrend to refine entries and avoid false signals.
Risk Management:
Since the strategy dynamically sizes positions, it's advised to use stop-losses or risk-based exits to avoid excessive drawdowns.
Final Thoughts
The Squeeze Momentum Indicator Strategy provides a systematic approach to trading volatility expansions, leveraging the classic TTM Squeeze principles with a unique linear regression-based momentum calculation. Originally inspired by John Carter’s method, LazyBear's version and this strategy offer a refined, adaptable tool for traders looking to capitalize on market momentum shifts.
RVMM IndicatorRVMM Indicator
RVMM Indicator combines four indicators: RSI, VWAP, MFI, and Momentum to provide comprehensive technical analysis. This indicator helps traders identify potential market conditions based on the interaction of these indicators.
Components of the RVMM Indicator
1. RSI (Relative Strength Index)
RSI is a momentum indicator that measures the speed and change of price movements. RSI oscillates between 0 and 100 and is used to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market.
Buy Level: Set at 30. When RSI falls below 30, the market is considered oversold, which may suggest a potential upward trend reversal.
Sell Level: Set at 70. When RSI rises above 70, the market is considered overbought, which may suggest a potential downward trend reversal.
2. VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
VWAP is an indicator that combines price and volume to calculate the average price weighted by volume. VWAP is used to identify support and resistance areas and assess the strength of price movements.
Interpretation: If the price is above the VWAP line, the market is likely in an uptrend. If the price is below the VWAP line, the market is in a downtrend.
3. MFI (Money Flow Index)
MFI is a momentum indicator that considers both price and volume. MFI oscillates between 0 and 100 and is used to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market.
Oversold Level: Set at 20. When MFI falls below 20, the market is considered oversold.
Overbought Level: Set at 80. When MFI rises above 80, the market is considered overbought.
4. Momentum
Momentum is an indicator that measures the speed of price changes. This indicator is used to identify the strength of a trend.
Interpretation: High momentum values indicate a strong uptrend, while low momentum values indicate a strong downtrend.
How to Use the RVMM Indicator
Interpreting Market Conditions:
RSI : Check RSI values below 30 to identify oversold conditions, and above 70 to identify overbought conditions.
VWAP : Observe whether the price is above or below the VWAP line to determine if the market is in an uptrend or downtrend.
MFI : Check if MFI is below 20 to identify oversold conditions, and above 80 to identify overbought conditions.
Momentum : Analyze momentum values to gauge the strength of the current trend.
Confirming Market Conditions:
Use VWAP, MFI, and Momentum to confirm market conditions identified by RSI.
If the price is above the VWAP line, and MFI and Momentum indicate the strength of the uptrend, the market may be in a bullish phase.
If the price is below the VWAP line, and MFI and Momentum indicate the strength of the downtrend, the market may be in a bearish phase.
Risk Management:
Set stop-loss and take-profit levels based on technical analysis and your trading preferences.
Monitor the market and adjust stop-loss and take-profit levels as market conditions change.
Example of Application
Here is an example of how to use the RVMM Indicator in practice:
Bullish Phase: When the price is above the VWAP line, RSI is below 30, and MFI and Momentum indicate the strength of the uptrend, the market is likely in a bullish phase.
Bearish Phase: When the price is below the VWAP line, RSI is above 70, and MFI and Momentum indicate the strength of the downtrend, the market is likely in a bearish phase.

Multi-Period Autocorrelation: The indicator calculates autocorrelation across three periods, offering a granular view of price movement consistency over time.
Customizable Length & Sensitivity: Adjustable parameters allow users to tailor the length of analysis and sensitivity for detecting correlation.
Visual Aids: Three separate autocorrelation plots are displayed, along with an average correlation line. Dotted horizontal lines mark the thresholds for positive and negative correlation, helping users quickly assess potential trend continuation or reversal.
Interpretive Table: A table summarizing correlation status for each period helps traders make quick, informed decisions without needing to interpret the plot details directly.
Parameters
Source: Defines the price source (default: close) for calculating autocorrelation.
Length: Sets the analysis period, ranging from 10 to 2000 (default: 200).
Sensitivity: Adjusts the threshold sensitivity for defining correlation as positive or negative (default: 2.5).
Interpretation
Above 50 + Sensitivity: Indicates Positive Correlation. The price movements over the selected period are likely to continue in the same direction, potentially signaling a trend continuation.
Below 50 - Sensitivity: Indicates Negative Correlation. The price movements show a likelihood of reversing, which could signal an upcoming trend reversal.
Between 50 ± Sensitivity: Indicates No Correlation. Price movements are less predictable in direction, with no clear trend continuation or reversal tendency.
How It Works
The indicator calculates the logarithmic returns of the selected source price over each length period.
It then compares returns over consecutive periods, categorizing them as either "winning" (consistent direction) or "losing" (inconsistent direction) movements.
The result for each period is displayed as a percentage, with values above 50% indicating a higher degree of directional consistency (positive or negative).
A table updates with descriptive labels (Positive Correlation, Negative Correlation, No Correlation) for each tested period, providing a quick overview.
Visual Elements

Positive/Negative Correlation Thresholds: Dotted lines set at 50 ± Sensitivity, marking the thresholds for significant correlation.
Usage Guide
Adjust Parameters:
Select the Source to define which price metric (e.g., close, open) will be analyzed.
Set the Length based on your preferred analysis window (e.g., shorter for intraday trends, longer for swing trading).
Modify Sensitivity to fine-tune the thresholds based on market volatility and personal trading preference.
Interpret Table and Plots:
Use the table to quickly check the correlation status of each lag period.
Analyze the plots for changes in correlation. If multiple lags show positive correlation above the sensitivity threshold, a trend continuation may be expected. Conversely, negative values suggest a potential reversal.
Integrate with Other Indicators:
For enhanced insights, consider using the AutoCorrelation Test indicator in conjunction with other trend or momentum indicators.
This indicator offers a powerful method to assess market conditions, identify potential trend continuations or reversals, and better inform trading decisions. Its customization options provide flexibility for various trading styles and timeframes.
XAUUSD Multi-Timeframe Trend AnalyzerOverview
The "XAUUSD Multi-Timeframe Trend Analyzer" is an advanced script designed to provide a comprehensive analysis of the XAUUSD (Gold/US Dollar) trend across multiple timeframes simultaneously. By combining several key technical indicators, this tool helps traders quickly assess the market direction and trend strength for M15, M30, H1, H4, and D1 timeframes.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Displays the trend direction and strength across M15, M30, H1, H4, and D1 timeframes, allowing for a complete overview in a single glance.
Comprehensive Indicator Blend: Utilizes six popular technical indicators to determine the trend—Moving Averages, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, DMI, and Parabolic SAR.
Trend Strength Scoring: Provides a numerical trend strength score (from -6 to 6) based on the alignment of the indicators, with positive values indicating uptrends and negative values for downtrends.
Visual Table Display: Displays results in a color-coded table (green for uptrend, red for downtrend, yellow for neutral) with a strength score for each timeframe, helping traders quickly assess market conditions.
How It Works
This script calculates the overall trend and its strength for each selected timeframe by analyzing six widely-used technical indicators:
Moving Averages (MA): The script uses a Fast and a Slow Moving Average. When the Fast MA crosses above the Slow MA, it indicates an uptrend. When the Fast MA crosses below, it signals a downtrend.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): The RSI is used to assess momentum. An RSI value above 50 suggests bullish momentum, while a value below 50 suggests bearish momentum.
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD): MACD measures momentum and trend direction. When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it signals bullish momentum; when it crosses below, it signals bearish momentum.
Bollinger Bands: These measure price volatility. When the price is above the middle Bollinger Band, the script considers the trend to be bullish, and when it's below, bearish.
Directional Movement Index (DMI): The DMI compares positive directional movement (DI+) and negative directional movement (DI-). A stronger DI+ over DI- signals an uptrend and vice versa.
Parabolic SAR: This indicator is used for determining potential trend reversals and setting stop-loss levels. If the price is above the Parabolic SAR, it indicates an uptrend, and if below, a downtrend.
Trend Strength Calculation
The script calculates a trend strength score for each timeframe:
Each indicator adds or subtracts 1 to the score based on whether it aligns with an uptrend or a downtrend.
A score of 6 indicates a Strong Uptrend, with all indicators aligned bullishly.
A score of -6 indicates a Strong Downtrend, with all indicators aligned bearishly.
Intermediate scores (e.g., 2 or -2) indicate Weak Uptrend or Weak Downtrend, suggesting that not all indicators are in agreement.
A score between 1 and -1 indicates a Neutral trend, suggesting uncertainty in the market.
How to Use
Assess Trend Direction and Strength: The table provides an easy-to-read summary of the trend and its strength on different timeframes. Look for timeframes where the strength is high (either 6 for a strong uptrend or -6 for a strong downtrend) to confirm the market’s overall direction.
Use in Conjunction with Other Strategies: This indicator is designed to provide a comprehensive view of the market. Traders should combine it with other strategies, such as price action analysis or candlestick patterns, to further confirm their trades.
Trend Reversal or Continuation: A weak trend (e.g., a strength of 2 or -2) could signal a possible reversal or a trend that has lost momentum. Strong trends (with a strength of 6 or -6) indicate higher confidence in trend continuation.
Multiple Timeframe Confirmation: Look for alignment across multiple timeframes to confirm the strength and direction of the trend before entering trades. For example, if M15, M30, and H1 are all showing a strong uptrend, it suggests a higher probability of the trend continuing.
Customization Options
- Adjustable Indicators: Users can modify the length and parameters of the Moving Averages, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, DMI, and Parabolic SAR to suit their trading style.
- Flexible Timeframes: You can toggle between different timeframes (M15, M30, H1, H4, D1) to focus on the intervals most relevant to your strategy.
Ideal For
- Traders looking for a detailed, multi-timeframe trend analysis tool for XAUUSD.
- Traders who rely on trend-following strategies and need confirmation across multiple timeframes.
- Those who prefer a multi-indicator approach to avoid false signals and improve the accuracy of their trades.

Uptrick: Dual Moving Average Volume Oscillator
Title: Uptrick: Dual Moving Average Volume Oscillator (DPVO)
### Overview
The "Uptrick: Dual Moving Average Volume Oscillator" (DPVO) is an advanced trading tool designed to enhance market analysis by integrating volume data with price action. This indicator is specially developed to provide traders with deeper insights into market dynamics, making it easier to spot potential entry and exit points based on volume and price interactions. The DPVO stands out by offering a sophisticated approach to traditional volume analysis, setting it apart from typical volume indicators available on the TradingView platform.
### Unique Features
Unlike traditional indicators that analyze volume and price movements separately, the DPVO combines these two critical elements to offer a comprehensive view of market behavior. By calculating the Volume Impact, which involves the product of the exponential moving averages (EMAs) of volume and the price range (close - open), this indicator highlights significant trading activities that could indicate strong buying or selling pressure. This method allows traders to see not just the volume spikes, but how those spikes relate to price movements, providing a clearer picture of market sentiment.
### Customization and Inputs
The DPVO is highly customizable, catering to various trading styles and strategies:
- **Oscillator Length (`oscLength`)**: Adjusts the period over which the volume and price difference is analyzed, allowing traders to set it according to their trading timeframe.
- **Fast and Slow Moving Averages (`fastMA` and `slowMA`)**: These parameters control the responsiveness of the DPVO. A shorter `fastMA` coupled with a longer `slowMA` can help in identifying trends quicker or smoothing out market noise for more conservative approaches.
- **Signal Smoothing (`signalSmooth`)**: This input helps in reducing signal noise, making the crossover and crossunder points between the DVO and its smoothed signal line clearer and easier to interpret.
### Functionality Details
The DPVO operates through a sequence of calculated steps that integrate volume data with price movement:
1. **Volume Impact Calculation**: This is the foundational step where the product of the EMA of volume and the EMA of price range (close - open) is calculated. This metric highlights trading sessions where significant volume accompanies substantial price movements, suggesting a strong market response.
2. **Dynamic Volume Oscillator (DVO)**: The heart of the indicator, the DVO, is derived by calculating the difference between the fast EMA and the slow EMA of the Volume Impact. This result is then normalized by dividing by the EMA of the volume over the same period to scale the output, making it consistent across various trading environments.
3. **Signal Generation**: The final output is smoothed using a simple moving average of the DVO to filter out market noise. Buy and sell signals are generated based on the crossover and crossunder of the DVO with its smoothed version, providing clear cues for market entry or exit.
### Originality
The DPVO's originality lies in its innovative integration of volume and price movement, a novel approach not typically observed in other volume indicators. By analyzing the product of volume and price change EMAs, the DPVO captures the essence of market dynamics more holistically than traditional tools, which often only reflect volume levels without contextualizing them with price actions. This dual analysis provides traders with a deeper understanding of market forces, enabling them to make more informed decisions based on a combination of volume surges and significant price movements. The DPVO also introduces a unique normalization and smoothing technique that refines the oscillator's output, offering cleaner and more reliable signals that are adaptable to various market conditions and trading styles.
### Practical Application
The DPVO excels in environments where volume plays a crucial role in validating price movements. Traders can utilize the buy and sell signals generated by the DPVO to enhance their decision-making process. The signals are plotted directly on the trading chart, with buy signals appearing below the price bars and sell signals above, ensuring they are prominent and actionable. This setup is particularly useful for day traders and swing traders who rely on timely and accurate signals to maximize their trading opportunities.
### Best Practices
To maximize the effectiveness of the DPVO, traders should consider the following best practices:
- **Market Selection**: Use the DPVO in markets known for strong volume-price correlation such as major forex pairs, popular stocks, and cryptocurrencies.
- **Signal Confirmation**: While the DPVO provides powerful signals, confirming these signals with additional indicators such as RSI or MACD can increase trade reliability.
- **Risk Management**: Always use stop-loss orders to manage risks associated with trading signals. Adjust the position size based on the volatility of the asset to avoid significant losses.
### Practical Example + How to use it
Practical Example1: Day Trading Cryptocurrencies
For a day trader focusing on the highly volatile cryptocurrency market, the DPVO can be an effective tool on a 15-minute chart. Suppose a trader is monitoring Bitcoin (BTC) during a period of high market activity. The DPVO might show an upward crossover of the DVO above its smoothed signal line while also indicating a significant increase in volume. This could signal that strong buying pressure is entering the market, suggesting a potential short-term rally. The trader could enter a long position based on this signal, setting a stop-loss just below the recent support level to manage risk. If the DPVO later shows a crossover in the opposite direction with decreasing volume, it might signal a good exit point, allowing the trader to lock in profits before a potential pullback.
- **Swing Trading Stocks**: For a swing trader looking at stocks, the DPVO could be applied on a daily chart. If the oscillator shows a consistent downward trend along with increasing volume, this could suggest a potential sell-off, providing a sell signal before a significant downturn.
You can look for:
--> Increase in volume - You can use indicators like 24-hour-Volume to have a better visualization
--> Uptrend/Downtrend in the indicator (HH, HL, LL, LH)
--> Confirmation (Buy signal/Sell signal)
--> Correct Price action (Not too steep moves up or down. Stable moves.) (Optional)
--> Confirmation with other indicators (Optional)
Quick image showing you an example of a buy signal on SOLANA:
### Technical Notes
- **Calculation Efficiency**: The DPVO utilizes exponential moving averages (EMAs) in its calculations, which provides a balance between responsiveness and smoothing. EMAs are favored over simple moving averages in this context because they give more weight to recent data, making the indicator more sensitive to recent market changes.
- **Normalization**: The normalization of the DVO by the EMA of the volume ensures that the oscillator remains consistent across different assets and timeframes. This means the indicator can be used on a wide variety of markets without needing significant adjustments, making it a versatile tool for traders.
- **Signal Line Smoothing**: The final signal line is smoothed using a simple moving average (SMA) to reduce noise. The choice of SMA for smoothing, as opposed to EMA, is intentional to provide a more stable signal that is less prone to frequent whipsaws, which can occur in highly volatile markets.
- **Lag and Sensitivity**: Like all moving average-based indicators, the DPVO may introduce a slight lag in signal generation. However, this is offset by the indicator’s ability to filter out market noise, making it a reliable tool for identifying genuine trends and reversals. Adjusting the `fastMA`, `slowMA`, and `signalSmooth` inputs allows traders to fine-tune the sensitivity of the DPVO to match their specific trading strategy and market conditions.
- **Platform Compatibility**: The DPVO is written in Pine Script™ v5, ensuring compatibility with the latest features and functionalities offered by TradingView. This version takes advantage of optimized functions for performance and accuracy in calculations, making it well-suited for real-time analysis.
Conclusion
The "Uptrick: Dual Moving Average Volume Oscillator" is a revolutionary tool that merges volume analysis with price movement to offer traders a more nuanced understanding of market trends and reversals. Its ability to provide clear, actionable signals based on a unique combination of volume and price changes makes it an invaluable addition to any trader's toolkit. Whether you are managing long-term positions or looking for quick trades, the DPVO provides insights that can help refine any trading strategy, making it a standout choice in the crowded field of technical indicators.
Nothing from this indicator or any other Uptrick Indicators is financial advice. Only you are ultimately responsible for your choices.
