Trend Tide Oscillator [UAlgo]🔶 Description:
The "Trend Tide Oscillator " is a technical analysis tool designed to identify potential trend reversals and overbought/oversold conditions in the market. It calculates an oscillator based on the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and then applies smoothing techniques to provide a clearer view of market momentum.
🔶 Key Features:
Oscillator Calculation : The indicator calculates an oscillator based on the Commodity Channel Index (CCI), which is a momentum-based oscillator used to identify overbought and oversold conditions.
Smoothing : Smoothing techniques are applied to the oscillator to reduce noise and provide a clearer view of market momentum. This helps traders in identifying trends more effectively.
Support and Resistance Zones : The indicator plots support and resistance zones based on the highest and lowest values of the oscillator over a specified lookback (default 50) period. These zones can help traders identify potential areas of price reversal. The indicator considers volatility when plotting the support and resistance zones. This aims to create more adaptable levels that account for fluctuating market conditions.
Visualization : The indicator visually represents overbought and oversold conditions with shapes (⚠️), aiding traders in quickly identifying potential entry or exit points.
Customization : Users can adjust parameters such as oscillator length, smoothing, and overbought/oversold levels, support and resistance lookbacks according to their trading preferences.

LNL Squeeze ArrowsIf you struggle with the entries, low % win rate or trading the squeeze setup overall, this indicator is for you!
If you look closely at your losing trades, chances are the losers have one thing in common = inverse momentum. I created this tool after I found out that Stacked EMAs and picture perfect trend is not the only thing you need for a squeeze setup. Squeeze arrows pinpoint the exact moment where the squeeze momentum change happens (momentum change is absolutely crucial for the squeeze setup). These arrows will help you stay out of "everything was aligned but still failed" type of setups.
Squeeze Arrows:
1. Momentum Arrows (cyan blue/red) - Showing the best possible moment for an entry during the squeeze (after you see one, you can expect the squeeze to fire soon).
2. Slingshot Arrows (yellow) - Even though you can trade off of them, these arrows work mostly as a confirmation & caution tool. If an inverse slingshot arrow is plotted during a squeeze that means caution = you should wait because momentum is not on your side thus there there is a quite high probability that the squeeze can fire the other direction.
Squeeze Dots Trigger:
Represents the number of red dots (squeeze) after which the arrows should plot. Default = 5 (only after 5 red dots, arrows will appear), some traders like to set it on 3 or even 1.
Tips & Tricks:
1.Breakout or Bailout Mentality
- The big advantage of the arrows is the fact that they either work straight away or they don't. This is where you can apply the breakout or bailout mentality and really focus exclusively on the breakout part of the whole squeeze move. You can minimize the risk by putting mental stops just a few points below the last low of the candle where the arrows appeared. That way you can be stopped out even during the squeeze = won't hurt as much as when the squeeze fire the opposite direction. Reward may be the same but the risk is lower.
2. Yellow Flags
- Use the slingshot arrows as a caution tool. Even if all your squeeze criteria are met. Yellow inverse arrow = caution (wait for the true momentum change). Once the slingshot arrow appears in the conext of the trend, you are good to go.
3. Last Arrow Rule
- Sometimes you will see a lot of arrows during the longer squeezes. This is where the last arrow rule come in handy. The last arrow you see on chart can be canceled anytime by a new one. The last arrow is the valid one!
Hope you can squeeze from these squeeze arrows as much as there is to squeeze so you can finally trade the squeeze with ease.
Hope it helps.
CDV Momentum WaveDescription:
This indicator visualizes the Cumulative Delta Volume (CDV) as waves, providing traders with insights into the momentum and strength of buying and selling activity. By tracking the cumulative difference between buying and selling pressure, it highlights shifts in market sentiment with color-coded wave patterns.
How to Use:
Spot Momentum:
Green waves signify strong buying pressure, while red waves indicate dominant selling pressure. Blue and orange waves mark transitions or weaker momentum.
Trend Analysis:
Persistent color and direction in waves reflect a strong trend, while frequent shifts may signal reversals or consolidation.
Sensitivity Adjustment:
Use the mul2 setting to fine-tune wave responsiveness for short-term or long-term analysis.
Wave Position Adjustment:
The osx setting adjusts the visual placement of the waves on the chart.
By default (osx = 0), the waves are aligned directly with the candle data they are calculated from.
Increasing osx shifts the waves forward.
Decreasing osx shifts the waves backward.
This tool helps traders detect momentum shifts, confirm trends, and understand volume dynamics in various market conditions.
+ Rate of ChangeNOTE!* If you were using my previous + Rate of Change (and OBV) indicator, I will not be updating that. OBV was moved to my + Breadth & Volume indicator.
This indicator here is basically and updated version of the old indicator, without OBV.
The Rate of Change, or RoC, is a momentum indicator that measures the percentage change in price between the current period and the price n periods ago.
It oscillates above and below a zeroline, basically showing positive or negative momentum.
I applied the OBV's calculation to it, but without the inclusion of volume (also added a lookback period) to see what would happen. I rather liked the result.
I call this the "Cumulative Rate of Change." I only recently realized that this is actually just the OBV without volume, however the OBV does not have a lookback period, and this indicator does.
Doing some more fiddling, I realized that removing both the signum and the volume from the calculation gets you basically a price chart, but calculated as the change in price over n periods. I'm leaving this in because maybe someone discovers they really like having a line chart with moving averages or some other indicator on it to leave their main chart indicator free (giving a more clear look at price action). Can't hurt, right?
Default lookback is set to 1, but play with longer settings (especially if using the traditional RoC, which is by default in TV set to 10, and is nigh on useless at 1--I like 13).
Default source is set to each candle close, but give ohlc4 a look. It smooths out the indicator a bit, and because it's an average of the open, high, low, and close it should give a better idea of what price in general is doing.
Moving averages, Bollinger Bands, Donchian Channels, candle coloring and alerts are my usual additions.
Below are some comparison images of the different indicators wrapped up in here.

TTM Waves ABC ATR AO MOM SQZ//All code picked from many indicators, if you recognize your code, pls comment so people can see your awesome work! I only edited and added them all together so people don't use all their indicator slots. Hope this indicator helps as many people as it can. LFG!!!
AO (Awesome Oscillator) Useful to find potential reversals in trend.
MOM (Momentum) An oscillator that measures momentum.
ATR (Average True Range) Measures the upside and downside from the average price movement occuring. 1 ATR is the general measurement. Many traders use 2ATR to set a stop and 4ATR to set take profit from their entry based on current reading from the ATR.
SQZ ( TTM Squeeze) Measures when bollinger bands have left the interior of the Keltner Channel in an attempt to predict volatility thats about to happen to either side. Green = Move is probably about to happen.
TTM Waves ( Waves A, B, and C) Measure the previous candles to determine chop, positive or negative trends. C measures the previous 30 candles or so, B the last 15 or so, and A measures the last 8 or so. You can use all three or just one. You can sneak in a move if the 2 fastest ones have moved into your preferred area. (Positive or Negative) If the wave is not fully positve or negative then that is probably chop.

CoffeeShopCrypto 3pl MAThe CoffeeShopCrypto 3pl MA indicator is a technical analysis tool that uses three different moving averages to identify trends in the price of an asset. The three moving averages have lengths of 12, 26, and 50. If these numbers sound familiar its because they are based off the standard of the MACD indicator, and can be either simple moving averages (SMA) or exponential moving averages (EMA), depending on user preference.
The following is plotted on the chart
The fast EMA/SMA (based on the 12-period length) in yellow.
The mid EMA/SMA (based on the 26-period length) in gray.
The slow EMA/SMA (based on the 50-period length) in either green or red, depending on whether the current close price is above or below the Overall Trend MA.
In addition to the moving averages, the indicator also calculates the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and uses it to color the bars based on the momentum of the asset.
The MACD is calculated using two user-defined lengths (fast and slow), as well as a user-defined smoothing length for the signal line. The oscillator and signal line can be either SMA or EMA, and the colors of the MACD bars are based on whether the histogram is growing or falling, and whether it is above or below the zero line.
Overall, this indicator provides traders with a comprehensive tool for understanding the trend of an asset, as well as the momentum behind that trend. The moving averages provide a clear visual representation of the trend, while the MACD bars give insight into the strength of that trend and potential shifts in momentum.
---------------LONG ENTRY----------------
MA1 above MA2 and Overall trend = Green
IF RSI is above its midline you are confirmed for a long entry
-----------Short Entry--------------
MA1 below MA2 and Overall trend = Red
IF RSI is below its midline you are confirmed for a short entry
RSI Potential Divergence - FontiramisuIndicator showing potential momentum divergences on RSI Momentum.
The problem with the classic divergence is that when the signal appears, it is sometimes too late to enter a trade.
The potential divergence corrects this problem by signaling the beginning of a potential divergence.
RSI is a momentum indicator that offers relevant insights with divergences.
Potential divergences are indicated with the letter B and a red color for Bearish Div or Green color for Bullish Div .
Potential divergence is confirmed when the line and the label "Bear"' or "Bull" appear.
Williams %R - SmoothedFrom TradingView's description:
Williams %R (%R) is a momentum-based oscillator used in technical analysis, primarily to identify overbought and oversold conditions. The %R is based on a comparison between the current close and the highest high for a user defined look back period. %R Oscillates between 0 and -100 (note the negative values) with readings closer to zero indicating more overbought conditions and readings closer to -100 indicating oversold. Typically %R can generate set ups based on overbought and oversold conditions as well overall changes in momentum.
What's special?
This indicator adds two additional EMA lines to the original Williams %R indicator. Default EMA lengths are 5 and 13. The result is 2 smoother average lines, which are easier to read.
This indicator includes:
- signals for EMA crosses. EMA crosses can help indicate confirmed trend changes. Default colors are green and red
- signals for trend reversals on the faster EMA line. Default colors are blue and orange
Alerts available for bullish/bearish crossovers and reversals.
Enjoy~~!
+ Rate of Change (and OBV)The Rate of Change, or RoC, is a momentum indicator that measures the percentage change in price between the current period and the price n periods ago. It oscillates above and below a zeroline, basically showing positive or negative momentum. I applied the OBV's calculation to it, but without the inclusion of volume (also added a lookback period) to see what would happen.
Actually what happened was I was looking at hot-rodding the OBV indicator, but then wondered if I could apply the cumulative calculation to another indicator to see what would happen. Not sure why I chose the Rate of Change, but it seemed a neat idea. And it worked! And so I called it the "Cumulative Rate of Change." I only recently realized that this is actually just the OBV without volume, HOWEVER the OBV does not have a lookback period, and its source is the close of each period. Basically, when you look at the calculation for the OBV you'll notice that it's a cumulative measure of the "change" of the closing price against the previous close times the volume. The Rate of Change is basically that measurement over more than one period, excluding the volume, and is not cumulative. Thus the "Cumulative Rate of Change" is basically an OBV without the volume but with the capability to adjust the lookback period.
Anyway, after days and weeks of playing with the indicator pretty infrequently I did decide that I actually really liked it, especially with the addition of moving averages and bollinger bands. So I decided to play with it a bit more.
I added a drop-down menu to include the standard Rate of Change indicator, and then thought I may as well add the OBV too, in case someone might like to compare that to the C-RoC, or just wants an OBV with myriad moving averages and bollinger bands.
By default I have the indicator set to the "C-RoC" and the lookback is set to 1, but play with longer settings (this is pretty much necessary if using the traditional RoC, which is by default set to 10 in TradingView, and is nigh on useless at 1).
I also recommend playing with the source. 'Close' is nice, but 'ohlc4' provides some very nice signals as well, as it follows the price flow for each period completely, filtering the noisiness of 'close' as source.
Hope you guys like this. With the bollinger bands and your preferred moving average settings this can be a powerful tool for re-entering trades in trend, taking profits, determining momentum swings.
Stochastic CandlesA series of up to 28 stochastics oscillators used to form an average stochastic value, which is then used to colour the candles based on the momentum.
Each candle can be coloured one of ten colours and each one represents a position on the stochastic oscillator.
The indicator helps traders to visualise the momentum and helps trend following.
Inputs:
MA: multiple smoothing methods
Theme: multiple colours
Increment: stochastic length start and increments
End: stochastic length end
Smooth: smooth stochastic

Intramarket Difference Index StrategyHi Traders !!
The IDI Strategy:
In layman’s terms this strategy compares two indicators across markets and exploits their differences.
note: it is best the two markets are correlated as then we know we are trading a short to long term deviation from both markets' general trend with the assumption both markets will trend again sometime in the future thereby exhausting our trading opportunity.
📍 Import Notes:
This Strategy calculates trade position size independently (i.e. risk per trade is controlled in the user inputs tab), this means that the ‘Order size’ input in the ‘Properties’ tab will have no effect on the strategy. Why ? because this allows us to define custom position size algorithms which we can use to improve our risk management and equity growth over time. Here we have the option to have fixed quantity or fixed percentage of equity ATR (Average True Range) based stops in addition to the turtle trading position size algorithm.
‘Pyramiding’ does not work for this strategy’, similar to the order size input togeling this input will have no effect on the strategy as the strategy explicitly defines the maximum order size to be 1.
This strategy is not perfect, and as of writing of this post I have not traded this algo.
Always take your time to backtests and debug the strategy.
🔷 The IDI Strategy:
By default this strategy pulls data from your current TV chart and then compares it to the base market, be default BINANCE:BTCUSD . The strategy pulls SMA and RSI data from either market (we call this the difference data), standardizes the data (solving the different unit problem across markets) such that it is comparable and then differentiates the data, calling the result of this transformation and difference the Intramarket Difference (ID). The formula for the the ID is
ID = market1_diff_data - market2_diff_data (1)
Where
market(i)_diff_data = diff_data / ATR(j)_market(i)^0.5,
where i = {1, 2} and j = the natural numbers excluding 0
Formula (1) interpretation is the following
When ID > 0: this means the current market outperforms the base market
When ID = 0: Markets are at long run equilibrium
When ID < 0: this means the current market underperforms the base market
To form the strategy we define one of two strategy type’s which are Trend and Mean Revesion respectively.
🔸 Trend Case:
Given the ‘‘Strategy Type’’ is equal to TREND we define a threshold for which if the ID crosses over we go long and if the ID crosses under the negative of the threshold we go short.
The motivating idea is that the ID is an indicator of the two symbols being out of sync, and given we know volatility clustering, momentum and mean reversion of anomalies to be a stylised fact of financial data we can construct a trading premise. Let's first talk more about this premise.
For some markets (cryptocurrency markets - synthetic symbols in TV) the stylised fact of momentum is true, this means that higher momentum is followed by higher momentum, and given we know momentum to be a vector quantity (with magnitude and direction) this momentum can be both positive and negative i.e. when the ID crosses above some threshold we make an assumption it will continue in that direction for some time before executing back to its long run equilibrium of 0 which is a reasonable assumption to make if the market are correlated. For example for the BTCUSD - ETHUSD pair, if the ID > +threshold (inputs for MA and RSI based ID thresholds are found under the ‘‘INTRAMARKET DIFFERENCE INDEX’’ group’), ETHUSD outperforms BTCUSD, we assume the momentum to continue so we go long ETHUSD.
In the standard case we would exit the market when the IDI returns to its long run equilibrium of 0 (for the positive case the ID may return to 0 because ETH’s difference data may have decreased or BTC’s difference data may have increased). However in this strategy we will not define this as our exit condition, why ?
This is because we want to ‘‘let our winners run’’, to achieve this we define a trailing Donchian Channel stop loss (along with a fixed ATR based stop as our volatility proxy). If we were too use the 0 exit the strategy may print a buy signal (ID > +threshold in the simple case, market regimes may be used), return to 0 and then print another buy signal, and this process can loop may times, this high trade frequency means we fail capture the entire market move lowering our profit, furthermore on lower time frames this high trade frequencies mean we pay more transaction costs (due to price slippage, commission and big-ask spread) which means less profit.
By capturing the sum of many momentum moves we are essentially following the trend hence the trend following strategy type.
Here we also print the IDI (with default strategy settings with the MA difference type), we can see that by letting our winners run we may catch many valid momentum moves, that results in a larger final pnl that if we would otherwise exit based on the equilibrium condition(Valid trades are denoted by solid green and red arrows respectively and all other valid trades which occur within the original signal are light green and red small arrows).
another example...
Note: if you would like to plot the IDI separately copy and paste the following code in a new Pine Script indicator template.

Note it is possible that after printing a buy the strategy then prints many sell signals before returning to a buy, which again has the same implication (less profit. Potentially because we exit early only for price to continue upwards hence missing the larger "trend"). The image below showcases this cenario and again, by allowing our winner to run we may capture more profit (theoretically).
This should be clear...
🔸 Mean Reversion Case:
We stated prior that mean reversion of anomalies is an standerdies fact of financial data, how can we exploit this ?
We exploit this by normalizing the ID by applying the Ehlers fisher transformation. The transformed data is then assumed to be approximately normally distributed. To form the strategy we employ the same logic as for the z score, if the FT normalized ID > 2.5 (< -2.5) we buy (short). Our exit conditions remain unchanged (fixed ATR stop and trailing Donchian Trailing stop)
🔷 Position Sizing:
If ‘‘Fixed Risk From Initial Balance’’ is toggled true this means we risk a fixed percentage of our initial balance, if false we risk a fixed percentage of our equity (current balance).
Note we also employ a volatility adjusted position sizing formula, the turtle training method which is defined as follows.
Turtle position size = (1/ r * ATR * DV) * C
Where,
r = risk factor coefficient (default is 20)
ATR(j) = risk proxy, over j times steps
DV = Dollar Volatility, where DV = (1/Asset Price) * Capital at Risk
🔷 Risk Management:
Correct money management means we can limit risk and increase reward (theoretically). Here we employ
Max loss and gain per day
Max loss per trade
Max number of consecutive losing trades until trade skip
To read more see the tooltips (info circle).
🔷 Take Profit:
By defualt the script uses a Donchain Channel as a trailing stop and take profit, In addition to this the script defines a fixed ATR stop losses (by defualt, this covers cases where the DC range may be to wide making a fixed ATR stop usefull), ATR take profits however are defined but optional.
ATR SL and TP defined for all trades
🔷 Hurst Regime (Regime Filter):
The Hurst Exponent (H) aims to segment the market into three different states, Trending (H > 0.5), Random Geometric Brownian Motion (H = 0.5) and Mean Reverting / Contrarian (H < 0.5). In my interpretation this can be used as a trend filter that eliminates market noise.
We utilize the trending and mean reverting based states, as extra conditions required for valid trades for both strategy types respectively, in the process increasing our trade entry quality.
🔷 Example model Architecture:
Here is an example of one configuration of this strategy, combining all aspects discussed in this post.

Uptrick: DPO Signal & Zone Indicator
## **Uptrick: DPO Signal & Zone Indicator**
### **Introduction:**
The **Uptrick: DPO Signal & Zone Indicator** is a sophisticated technical analysis tool tailored to provide insights into market momentum, identify potential trading signals, and recognize extreme market conditions. It leverages the Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) to strip out long-term trends from price movements, allowing traders to focus on short-term fluctuations and cyclical behavior. The indicator integrates multiple components, including a Detrended Price Oscillator, a Signal Line, a Histogram, and customizable alert levels, to deliver a robust framework for market analysis and trading decision-making.
### **Detailed Breakdown:**
#### **1. Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO):**
- **Purpose and Functionality:**
- The DPO is designed to filter out long-term trends from the price data, isolating short-term price movements. This helps in understanding the cyclical patterns and momentum of an asset, allowing traders to detect periods of acceleration or deceleration that might be overlooked when focusing solely on long-term trends.
- **Calculation:**
- **Formula:** `dpo = close - ta.sma(close, smaLength)`
- **`close`:** The asset’s closing price for each period in the dataset.
- **`ta.sma(close, smaLength)`:** The Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing prices over a period defined by `smaLength`.
- The DPO is derived by subtracting the SMA value from the current closing price. This calculation reveals how much the current price deviates from the moving average, effectively detrending the price data.
- **Interpretation:**
- **Positive DPO Values:** Indicate that the current price is higher than the moving average, suggesting bullish market conditions and a potential upward trend.
- **Negative DPO Values:** Indicate that the current price is lower than the moving average, suggesting bearish market conditions and a potential downward trend.
- **Magnitude of DPO:** Reflects the strength of momentum. Larger positive or negative values suggest stronger momentum in the respective direction.
#### **2. Signal Line:**
- **Purpose and Functionality:**
- The Signal Line is a smoothed average of the DPO, intended to act as a reference point for generating trading signals. It helps to filter out short-term fluctuations and provides a clearer perspective on the prevailing trend.
- **Calculation:**
- **Formula:** `signalLine = ta.sma(dpo, signalLength)`
- **`ta.sma(dpo, signalLength)`:** The SMA of the DPO values over a period defined by `signalLength`.
- The Signal Line is calculated by applying a moving average to the DPO values. This smoothing process reduces noise and highlights the underlying trend direction.
- **Interpretation:**
- **DPO Crossing Above Signal Line:** Generates a buy signal, suggesting that short-term momentum is turning bullish relative to the longer-term trend.
- **DPO Crossing Below Signal Line:** Generates a sell signal, suggesting that short-term momentum is turning bearish relative to the longer-term trend.
- **Signal Line’s Role:** Provides a benchmark for assessing the strength of the DPO. The interaction between the DPO and the Signal Line offers actionable insights into potential entry or exit points.
#### **3. Histogram:**
- **Purpose and Functionality:**
- The Histogram visualizes the difference between the DPO and the Signal Line. It provides a graphical representation of momentum strength and direction, allowing traders to quickly gauge market conditions.
- **Calculation:**
- **Formula:** `histogram = dpo - signalLine`
- The Histogram is computed by subtracting the Signal Line value from the DPO value. Positive values indicate that the DPO is above the Signal Line, while negative values indicate that the DPO is below the Signal Line.
- **Interpretation:**
- **Color Coding:**
- **Green Bars:** Represent positive values, indicating bullish momentum.
- **Red Bars:** Represent negative values, indicating bearish momentum.
- **Width of Bars:** Indicates the strength of momentum. Wider bars signify stronger momentum, while narrower bars suggest weaker momentum.
- **Zero Line:** A horizontal gray line that separates positive and negative histogram values. Crosses of the histogram through this zero line can signal shifts in momentum direction.
#### **4. Alert Levels:**
- **Purpose and Functionality:**
- Alert levels define specific thresholds to identify extreme market conditions, such as overbought and oversold states. These levels help traders recognize potential reversal points and extreme market conditions.
- **Inputs:**
- **`alertLevel1`:** Defines the upper threshold for identifying overbought conditions.
- **Default Value:** 0.5
- **`alertLevel2`:** Defines the lower threshold for identifying oversold conditions.
- **Default Value:** -0.5
- **Interpretation:**
- **Overbought Condition:** When the DPO exceeds `alertLevel1`, indicating that the market may be overbought. This condition suggests that the asset could be due for a correction or reversal.
- **Oversold Condition:** When the DPO falls below `alertLevel2`, indicating that the market may be oversold. This condition suggests that the asset could be poised for a rebound or reversal.
#### **5. Visual Elements:**
- **DPO and Signal Line Plots:**
- **DPO Plot:**
- **Color:** Blue
- **Width:** 2 pixels
- **Purpose:** To visually represent the deviation of the current price from the moving average.
- **Signal Line Plot:**
- **Color:** Red
- **Width:** 1 pixel
- **Purpose:** To provide a smoothed reference for the DPO and generate trading signals.
- **Histogram Plot:**
- **Color Coding:**
- **Green:** For positive values, signaling bullish momentum.
- **Red:** For negative values, signaling bearish momentum.
- **Style:** Histogram bars are displayed with varying width to represent the strength of momentum.
- **Zero Line:** A gray horizontal line separating positive and negative histogram values.
- **Overbought/Oversold Zones:**
- **Background Colors:**
- **Green Shading:** Applied when the DPO exceeds `alertLevel1`, indicating an overbought condition.
- **Red Shading:** Applied when the DPO falls below `alertLevel2`, indicating an oversold condition.

Zaree - FX Index RSI IndicatorDescription:
The "Zaree - FX Index RSI Indicator" (FIRI) is a technical analysis tool designed to provide insights into the relative strength of two selected currency indices using the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It allows traders to compare the RSI values of a primary currency index and a secondary currency index, helping them identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in the currency market.
Details of the Indicator:
The indicator calculates the RSI for both the primary and secondary currency indices based on the user's selections.
Traders can choose from a variety of currency indices to use as the primary and secondary indices for comparison.
The indicator offers settings for customizing the calculation of the RSI, including selecting the type of moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, SMMA) and adjusting the length of the RSI and moving average.
Upper and lower RSI bands are displayed on the chart to highlight potential overbought and oversold conditions.
The RSI values and their corresponding moving average values are plotted on the chart, allowing traders to visually analyze the relative strength of the indices.
How to Use the Indicator:
Select the primary and secondary currency indices you want to compare from the provided dropdown menus. These indices will serve as the basis for RSI calculation.
Choose the type of moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, SMMA) to use for RSI calculation and set the desired length for the moving average.
Decide whether you want to visualize the RSI and moving average values for the primary and secondary indices on the chart.
Observe the RSI values and moving averages plotted on the chart. The indicator's upper and lower bands can help you identify potential overbought (above the upper band) and oversold (below the lower band) conditions.
Pay attention to the intersections between the RSI values and the moving average lines. These intersections can provide insights into potential trend changes or reversals in the currency market.
Example of Usage:
Let's say you're a swing trader focusing on currency pairs involving the US Dollar (USD) and Euro (EUR). You want to compare the relative strength of the USD Index (USDINX) and the EUR Index (EURINX) to identify potential trading opportunities. Here's how you can use the FIRI indicator:
Select "USDINX" as the primary index and "EURINX" as the secondary index.
Choose "SMA" as the moving average type and set the RSI length to 14.
Enable the visualization of RSI values for both the primary and secondary indices.
Observe the chart to identify instances where the RSI values of the indices cross above the upper band (potential overbought) or below the lower band (potential oversold).
Look for intersections between the RSI values and the moving average lines. A bullish signal may occur when the RSI crosses above the moving average, indicating potential upward momentum, while a bearish signal may occur when the RSI crosses below the moving average, indicating potential downward momentum.
Remember that the FIRI indicator is a tool to assist you in your analysis. It's important to consider other technical and fundamental factors before making trading decisions.
Feel free to adjust the settings of the indicator based on your trading preferences and strategy. Keep in mind that no indicator is foolproof, and it's recommended to use the FIRI indicator in conjunction with other analysis techniques for a comprehensive trading approach.
Truly Iterative Gaussian ChannelOVERVIEW
The Truly Iterative Gaussian Channel is a robust channeling system that integrates a Gaussian smoothing kernel with a rolling standard deviation to create dynamically adaptive upper and lower boundaries around price. This indicator provides a smooth, yet responsive representation of price movements while minimizing lag and dynamically adjusting channel width to reflect real-time market volatility. Its versatility makes it effective across various timeframes and trading styles, offering significant potential for experimentation and integration into advanced trading systems.
TRADING USES
The Gaussian indicator can be used for multiple trading strategies. Trend following relies on the middle Gaussian line to gauge trend direction: prices above this line indicate bullish momentum, while prices below signal bearish momentum. The upper and lower boundaries act as dynamic support and resistance levels, offering breakout or pullback entry opportunities. Mean reversion focuses on identifying reversal setups when price approaches or breaches the outer boundaries, aiming for a return to the Gaussian centerline. Volatility filtering helps assess market conditions, with narrow channels indicating low volatility or consolidation and suggesting fewer trading opportunities or an impending breakout. Adaptive risk management uses channel width to adjust for market volatility, with wider channels signaling higher risk and tighter channels indicating lower volatility and potentially safer entry points.
THEORY
Gaussian kernel smoothing, derived from the Gaussian normal distribution, is a cornerstone of probability and statistics, valued for its ability to reduce noise while preserving critical signal features. In this indicator, it ensures price movements are smoothed with precision, minimizing distortion while maintaining responsiveness to market dynamics.
The rolling standard deviation complements this by dynamically measuring price dispersion from the mean, enabling the channel to adapt in real time to changing market conditions. This combination leverages the mathematical correctness of both tools to balance smoothness and adaptability.
An iterative framework processes data efficiently, bar by bar, without recalculating historical value to ensure reliability and preventing repainting to create a mathematically grounded channel system suitable for a wide range of market environments.
The Gaussian channel excels at filtering noise while remaining responsive to price action, providing traders with a dependable tool for identifying trends, reversals, and volatility shifts with consistency and precision.
CALIBRATION
Calibration of the Gaussian channel involves adjusting its length to modify sensitivity and adaptability based on trading style. Shorter lengths (e.g., 50-100) are ideal for intraday traders seeking quick responses to price fluctuations. Medium lengths (e.g., 150-200) cater to swing traders aiming to capture broader market trends. Longer lengths (e.g., 250-400+) are better suited for positional traders focusing on long-term price movements and stability.
MARKET USAGE
Stock, Forex, Crypto, Commodities, and Indices.
Dynamic Price Oscillator (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Dynamic Price Oscillator (DPO) by Zeiierman is designed to gauge the momentum and volatility of asset prices in trading markets. By integrating elements of traditional oscillators with volatility adjustments and Bollinger Bands, the DPO offers a unique approach to understanding market dynamics. This indicator is particularly useful for identifying overbought and oversold conditions, capturing price trends, and detecting potential reversal points.
█ How It Works
The DPO operates by calculating the difference between the current closing price and a moving average of the closing price, adjusted for volatility using the True Range method. This difference is then smoothed over a user-defined period to create the oscillator. Additionally, Bollinger Bands are applied to the oscillator itself, providing visual cues for volatility and potential breakout signals.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Confirmation
The DPO can serve as a confirmation tool for existing trends. Traders might look for the oscillator to maintain above or below its mean line to confirm bullish or bearish trends, respectively. A consistent direction in the oscillator's movement alongside price trend can provide additional confidence in the strength and sustainability of the trend.
⚪ Overbought/Oversold Conditions
With the application of Bollinger Bands directly on the oscillator, the DPO can highlight overbought or oversold conditions in a unique manner. When the oscillator moves outside the Bollinger Bands, it signifies an extreme condition.
⚪ Volatility Breakouts
The width of the Bollinger Bands on the oscillator reflects market volatility. Sudden expansions in the bands can indicate a breakout from a consolidation phase, which traders can use to enter trades in the direction of the breakout. Conversely, a contraction suggests a quieter market, which might be a signal for traders to wait or to look for range-bound strategies.
⚪ Momentum Trading
Momentum traders can use the DPO to spot moments when the market momentum is picking up. A sharp move of the oscillator towards either direction, especially when crossing the Bollinger Bands, can indicate the start of a strong price movement.
⚪ Mean Reversion
The DPO is also useful for mean reversion strategies, especially considering its volatility adjustment feature. When the oscillator touches or breaches the Bollinger Bands, it indicates a deviation from the normal price range. Traders might look for opportunities to enter trades anticipating a reversion to the mean.
⚪ Divergence Trading
Divergences between the oscillator and price action can be a powerful signal for reversals. For instance, if the price makes a new high but the oscillator fails to make a corresponding high, it may indicate weakening momentum and a potential reversal. Traders can use these divergence signals to initiate counter-trend moves.
█ Settings
Length: Determines the lookback period for the oscillator and Bollinger Bands calculation. Increasing this value smooths the oscillator and widens the Bollinger Bands, leading to fewer, more significant signals. Decreasing this value makes the oscillator more sensitive to recent price changes, offering more frequent signals but with increased noise.
Smoothing Factor: Adjusts the degree of smoothing applied to the oscillator's calculation. A higher smoothing factor reduces noise, offering clearer trend identification at the cost of signal timeliness. Conversely, a lower smoothing factor increases the oscillator's responsiveness to price movements, which may be useful for short-term trading but at the risk of false signals.

Composite Bull-Bear Dominance IndexNote: CREDITS: This is based on the Up Down Volume Indicator (published in Trading View) and Elder Ray Index (Bull Bear Power).
The Composite Bull Bear Dominance Index (CBBDI) is a indicator that combines up down volume analysis with Bull and Bear Power to provide a comprehensive view of market dynamics. It calculates Z-scores for up down volume delta and bull bear power measures, averages them, and then smoothes the result using Weighted Moving Average (WMA) for Bull and Bear Power and Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) for Up and Down Volume Delta. The advantages include responsiveness to short-term trends, noise reduction through weighting, incorporation of volume information, and the ability to identify significant changes in buying and selling pressure. The indicator aims to offer clear signals for traders seeking insights into overall market dominance and indicate if the bulls or the bears have the upper hand.
Volume Analysis (Up/Down Volume Delta):
Up/Down Volume Delta reflects the net difference between buying and selling volume, providing insights into the prevailing market sentiment.
Positive Delta: Indicates potential bullish dominance due to higher buying volume.
Negative Delta: Suggests potential bearish dominance as selling volume surpasses buying volume.
Price Analysis (Bull and Bear Power):
Bull and Bear Power measure the strength of buying and selling forces based on price movements and the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the closing price.
Positive Bull Power: Reflects bullish dominance, indicating potential upward momentum.
Positive Bear Power: Suggests bearish dominance, indicating potential downward momentum.
Composite Bull Bear Dominance Index (CBBDI):
CBBDI combines the standardized Z-scores of Up/Down Volume Delta and Bull Bear Power, providing an average measure of both volume and price-related dominance.
Positive CBBDI: Indicates an overall bullish dominance in both volume and price dynamics.
Negative CBBDI: Suggests an overall bearish dominance in both volume and price dynamics.
Smoothing Techniques:
The use of Weighted Moving Average (WMA) for smoothing Bull and Bear Power Z-scores, and Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) for smoothing Up/Down Volume Delta, reduces noise and provides a clearer trend signal.
Smoothing helps filter out short-term fluctuations and emphasizes more significant trends in both volume and price movements.
Color Coding:
CBBDI values are color-coded based on their direction, visually representing the prevailing market sentiment.
Green Colors: Positive values indicate potential bullish dominance.
Red Colors: Negative values suggest potential bearish dominance.
Logical Trading Indicator V.1Features of the Logical Trading Indicator V.1
ATR-Based Trailing Stop Loss
The Logical Trading Indicator V.1 utilizes the Average True Range (ATR) to implement a dynamic trailing stop loss. You can customize the sensitivity of your alerts by adjusting the ATR Multiple and ATR Period settings.
Higher ATR Multiple values create wider stops, while lower values result in tighter stops. This feature ensures that your trades are protected against adverse price movements. For best practice, use higher values on higher timeframes and lower values on lower term timeframes.
Bollinger Bands
The Logical Trading Indicator V.1 includes Bollinger Bands, which can be customized to use either a Simple Moving Average (SMA) or an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as the basis.
You can adjust the length and standard deviation multiplier of the Bollinger Bands to fine-tune your strategy. The color of the basis line changes to green when price is above and red when price is below the line to represent the trend.
The bands show a range vs a single band that also represents when the price is in overbought and oversold ranges similar to an RSI. These bands also control the take profit signals.
You also have the ability to change the band colors as well as toggle them off, which only affects the view, they are still active which will still fire the take profit signals.
Momentum Indicator
Our indicator offers a momentum filter option that highlights market momentum directly on the candlesticks, identifying periods of bullish, bearish, or consolidation phases. You can enable or disable this filter as needed, providing valuable insights into market conditions.
By default, you will see the candlestick colors represent the momentum direction as green or red, and consolidation periods as white, but the filter on the BUY and SELL signals is not active. The view options and filter can be toggled on and off in the settings.
Buy and Sell Signals
The Logical Trading Indicator V.1 generates buy and sell signals based on a combination of ATR-based filtering, Bollinger Band basis crossover, and optional momentum conditions if selected in the settings. These signals help you make informed decisions about when to enter or exit a trade. You can also enable a consolidation filter to stay out of trades during tight ranges.
Basically a BUY signal fires when the price closes above the basis line, and the price meets or exceeds the ATR multiple from the previous candle length, which is also editable in the settings.
If the momentum filter is engaged, it will not fire BUY signals when in consolidation periods. It works just the opposite for SELL signals.
Take Profit Signals
We've integrated a Take Profit feature that helps you identify points to exit your trades with profits. The indicator marks Long Take Profit when prices close below the upper zone line of the Bollinger Bands after the previous candle closes inside the band, suggesting an optimal point to exit a long trade or consider a short position.
Conversely, Short Take Profit signals appear when prices close above the lower zone after the previous candle closes inside of it, indicating the right time to exit a short trade or contemplate a long position.
Alerts for Informed Trading
The Logical Trading Indicator V.1 comes equipped with alert conditions for buy signals, sell signals, take profit points, and more. Receive real-time notifications to your preferred devices or platforms to stay updated on market movements and trading opportunities.
Stochastic Zone Strength Trend [wbburgin](This script was originally invite-only, but I'd vastly prefer contributing to the TradingView community more than anything else, so I am making it public :) I'd much rather share my ideas with you all.)
The Stochastic Zone Strength Trend indicator is a very powerful momentum and trend indicator that 1) identifies trend direction and strength, 2) determines pullbacks and reversals (including oversold and overbought conditions), 3) identifies divergences, and 4) can filter out ranges. I have some examples below on how to use it to its full effectiveness. It is composed of two components: Stochastic Zone Strength and Stochastic Trend Strength.
Stochastic Zone Strength
At its most basic level, the stochastic Zone Strength plots the momentum of the price action of the instrument, and identifies bearish and bullish changes with a high degree of accuracy. Think of the stochastic Zone Strength as a much more robust equivalent of the RSI. Momentum-change thresholds are demonstrated by the "20" and "80" levels on the indicator (see below image).
Stochastic Trend Strength
The stochastic Trend Strength component of the script uses resistance in each candlestick to calculate the trend strength of the instrument. I'll go more into detail about the settings after my description of how to use the indicator, but there are two forms of the stochastic Trend Strength:
Anchored at 50 (directional stochastic Trend Strength):
The directional stochastic Trend Strength can be used similarly to the MACD difference or other histogram-like indicators : a rising plot indicates an upward trend, while a falling plot indicates a downward trend.
Anchored at 0 (nondirectional stochastic Trend Strength):
The nondirectional stochastic Trend Strength can be used similarly to the ADX or other non-directional indicators : a rising plot indicates increasing trend strength, and look at the stochastic Zone Strength component and your instrument to determine if this indicates increasing bullish strength or increasing bearish strength (see photo below):
(In the above photo, a bearish divergence indicated that the high Trend Strength predicted a strong downwards move, which was confirmed shortly after. Later, a bullish move upward by the Zone Strength while the Trend Strength was elevated predicated a strong upwards move, which was also confirmed. Note the period where the Trend Strength never reached above 80, which indicated a ranging period (and thus unprofitable to enter or exit)).
How to Use the Indicator
The above image is a good example on how to use the indicator to determine divergences and possible pivot points (lines and circles, respectively). I recommend using both the stochastic Zone Strength and the stochastic Trend Strength at the same time, as it can give you a robust picture of where momentum is in relation to the price action and its trajectory. Every color is changeable in the settings.
Settings
The Amplitude of the indicator is essentially the high-low lookback for both components.
The Wavelength of the indicator is how stretched-out you want the indicator to be: how many amplitudes do you want the indicator to process in one given bar.
A useful analogy that I use (and that I derived the names from) is from traditional physics. In wave motion, the Amplitude is the up-down sensitivity of the wave, and the Wavelength is the side-side stretch of the wave.
The Smoothing Factor of the settings is simply how smoothed you want the stochastic to be. It's not that important in most circumstances.
Trend Anchor was covered above (see my description of Trend Strength). The "Trend Transform MA Length" is the EMA length of the Trend Strength that you use to transform it into the directional oscillator. Think of the EMA being transformed onto the 50 line and then the Trend Strength being dragged relative to that.
Trend Transform MA Length is the EMA length you want to use for transforming the nondirectional Trend Strength (anchored at 0) into the directional Trend Strength (anchored at 50). I suggest this be the same as the wavelength.
Trend Plot Type can transform the Nondirectional Trend Strength into a line plot so that it doesn't murk up the background.
Finally, the colors are changeable on the bottom.
Explanation of Zone Strength
If you're knowledgeable in Pine Script, I encourage you to look at the code to try to understand the concept, as it's a little complicated. The theory behind my Zone Strength concept is that the wicks in every bar can be used create an index of bullish and bearish resistance, as a wick signifies that the price crossed above a threshold before returning to its origin. This distance metric is unique because most indicators/formulas for calculating relative strength use a displacement metric (such as close - open) instead of measuring how far the price actually moved (up and down) within a candlestick. This is what the Zone Strength concept represents - the hesitation within the bar that is not typically represented in typical momentum indicators.
In the script's code I have step by step explanations of how the formula is calculated and why it is calculated as such. I encourage you to play around with the amplitude and wavelength inputs as they can make the zone strength look very different and perform differently depending on your interests.
Enjoy!

IDX - 5UPThe UDX-5UP is a custom indicator designed to assist traders in identifying trends, entry and exit signals, and market reversal moments with greater accuracy. It combines price analysis, volume, and momentum (RSI) to provide clear buy ("Buy") and sell ("Sell") signals across any asset and timeframe, whether you're a scalper on the 5M chart or a swing trader on the 4H chart. Inspired by robust technical analysis strategies, the UDX-5UP is ideal for traders seeking a reliable tool to operate in volatile markets such as cryptocurrencies, forex, stocks, and futures.
Components of the UDX-5UP
The UDX-5UP consists of three main panels that work together to provide a comprehensive view of the market:
Main Panel (Price):
Pivot Supertrend: A dynamic line that changes color to indicate the trend. Green for an uptrend (look for buys), red for a downtrend (look for sells).
SMAs (Simple Moving Averages): Two SMAs (8 and 21 periods) to confirm the trend direction. When the SMA 8 crosses above the SMA 21, it’s a bullish signal; when it crosses below, it’s a bearish signal.
Entry/Exit Signals: "Buy" (green) and "Sell" (red) labels are plotted on the chart when entry or exit conditions are met.
Volume Panel:
Colored Volume Bars: Green bars indicate dominant buying volume, while red bars indicate dominant selling volume.
Volume Moving Average (MA 20): A blue line that helps identify whether the current volume is above or below the average, confirming the strength of the movement.
RSI Panel:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Calculated with a period of 14, with overbought (70) and oversold (30) lines to identify momentum extremes.
Divergences: The indicator detects divergences between the RSI and price, plotting signals for potential reversals.
How the UDX-5UP Works
The UDX-5UP uses a combination of rules to generate buy and sell signals:
Buy Signal ("Buy"):
The Pivot Supertrend changes from red to green.
The SMA 8 crosses above the SMA 21.
The volume is above the MA 20, with green bars (indicating buying pressure).
The RSI is rising and, ideally, below 70 (not overbought).
Example: On the 4H chart, the price of Tether (USDT) is at 0.05515. The Pivot Supertrend turns green, the SMA 8 crosses above the SMA 21, the volume shows green bars above the MA 20, and the RSI is at 46. The UDX-5UP plots a "Buy".
Sell Signal ("Sell"):
The Pivot Supertrend changes from green to red.
The SMA 8 crosses below the SMA 21.
The volume is above the MA 20, with red bars (indicating selling pressure).
The RSI is falling and, ideally, above 70 (overbought).
Example: On the 4H chart, the price of Tether rises to 0.05817. The Pivot Supertrend turns red, the SMA 8 crosses below the SMA 21, the volume shows red bars, and the RSI is above 70. The UDX-5UP plots a "Sell".
RSI Divergences:
The indicator identifies bullish divergences (price makes a lower low, but RSI makes a higher low) and bearish divergences (price makes a higher high, but RSI makes a lower high), plotting alerts for potential reversals.
Adjustable Settings
The UDX-5UP is highly customizable to suit your trading style:
Pivot Supertrend Period: Default is 2. Increase to 3 or 4 for more conservative signals (fewer false positives, but more lag).
SMA Periods: Default is 8 and 21. Adjust to 5 and 13 for smaller timeframes (e.g., 5M) or 13 and 34 for larger timeframes (e.g., 1D).
RSI Period: Default is 14. Reduce to 10 for greater sensitivity or increase to 20 for smoother signals.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Default is 70/30. Adjust to 80/20 in volatile markets.
Display Panels: You can enable/disable the volume and RSI panels to simplify the chart.
How to Use the UDX-5UP
Identify the Trend:
Use the Pivot Supertrend and SMAs to determine the market direction. Uptrend: look for buys. Downtrend: look for sells.
Confirm with Volume and RSI:
For buys: Volume above the MA 20 with green bars, RSI rising and below 70.
For sells: Volume above the MA 20 with red bars, RSI falling and above 70.
Enter the Trade:
Enter a buy when the UDX-5UP plots a "Buy" and all conditions are aligned.
Enter a sell when the UDX-5UP plots a "Sell" and all conditions are aligned.
Plan the Exit:
Use Fibonacci levels or support/resistance on the price chart to set targets.
Exit the trade when the UDX-5UP plots an opposite signal ("Sell" after a buy, "Buy" after a sell).
Tips for Beginners
Start with Larger Timeframes: Use the 4H or 1D chart for more reliable signals and less noise.
Combine with Other Indicators: Use the UDX-5UP with tools like Fibonacci or the Candles RSI (another powerful indicator) to confirm signals.
Practice in Demo Mode: Test the indicator in a demo account before using real money.
Manage Risk: Always use a stop-loss and don’t risk more than 1-2% of your capital per trade.
Why Use the UDX-5UP?
Simplicity: Clear "Buy" and "Sell" signals make trading accessible even for beginners.
Versatility: Works on any asset (crypto, forex, stocks) and timeframe.
Multiple Confirmations: Combines price, volume, and momentum to reduce false signals.
Customizable: Adjust the settings to match your trading style.
Author’s Notes
The UDX-5UP was developed based on years of trading and technical analysis experience. It is an evolution of tested strategies, designed to help traders navigate volatile markets with confidence. However, no indicator is infallible. Always combine the UDX-5UP with proper risk management and fundamental analysis, especially in unpredictable markets.

Neon Momentum Waves StrategyIntroduction
The Neon Momentum Waves Strategy is a momentum-based indicator designed to help traders visualize potential shifts in market direction. It builds upon a MACD-style calculation while incorporating an enhanced visual representation of momentum waves. This approach may assist traders in identifying areas of increasing or decreasing momentum, potentially aligning with market trends or reversals.
How It Works
This strategy is based on a modified MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) method, calculating the difference between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). The momentum wave represents this difference, while an additional smoothing line (signal line) helps highlight potential momentum shifts.
Key Components:
Momentum Calculation:
Uses a fast EMA (12-period) and a slow EMA (26-period) to measure short-term and long-term momentum.
A signal line (20-period EMA of the MACD difference) smooths fluctuations.
The histogram (momentum wave) represents the divergence between the MACD value and the signal line.
Interpreting Momentum Changes:
Momentum Increasing: When the histogram rises above the zero line, it may indicate strengthening upward movement.
Momentum Decreasing: When the histogram moves below the zero line, it may signal a weakening trend or downward momentum.
Potential Exhaustion Points: Users can define custom threshold levels (default: ±10) to highlight when momentum is significantly strong or weak.
Visual Enhancements:
The neon glow effect is created by layering multiple plots with decreasing opacity, enhancing the clarity of momentum shifts.
Aqua-colored waves highlight upward momentum, while purple waves represent downward momentum.
Horizontal reference lines mark the zero line and user-defined thresholds to improve interpretability.
How It Differs from Traditional Indicators
Improved Visualization: Unlike standard MACD histograms, this approach provides clearer visual cues using a neon-style wave format.
Customizable Thresholds: Rather than relying solely on MACD crossovers, users can adjust sensitivity settings to better suit their trading style.
Momentum-Based Approach: The strategy is focused on visualizing shifts in momentum strength, rather than predicting price movements.
Potential Use Cases
Momentum Trend Awareness: Helps traders identify periods where momentum appears to be strengthening or fading.
Market Structure Analysis: May complement other indicators to assess whether price action aligns with momentum changes.
Flexible Timeframe Application: Can be used across different timeframes, depending on the trader’s strategy.
Important Considerations
This strategy is purely momentum-based and does not incorporate volume, fundamental factors, or price action confirmation.
Momentum shifts do not guarantee price direction changes—they should be considered alongside broader market context.
The strategy may perform differently in trending vs. ranging markets, so adjustments in sensitivity may be needed.
Risk management is essential—traders should apply proper stop-losses and position sizing techniques in line with their risk tolerance.
Conclusion
The Neon Momentum Waves Strategy provides a visually enhanced method of tracking momentum, allowing traders to observe potential changes in market strength. While not a predictive tool, it serves as a complementary indicator that may help traders in momentum-based decision-making. As with any technical tool, it should be used as part of a broader strategy that considers multiple factors in market analysis.

How It Works:
The VTCO applies a volume multiplier to momentum readings when volume activity significantly deviates from its historical norm. Additionally, it prioritizes momentum moves that align with the prevailing market trend. A smoothing mechanism refines the oscillator’s signal line, ensuring a more stable and actionable output. The indicator generates alerts when key conditions are met, assisting traders in identifying potential trend shifts.
Signal Generation:
Buy Signal: Triggered when the oscillator crosses above zero after an oversold condition, ideally within an uptrend.
Sell Signal: Triggered when the oscillator crosses below zero after an overbought condition, ideally within a downtrend.
Alerts: Configurable alerts notify traders when key market conditions are met.
Usage Considerations:
Works effectively across various timeframes but may provide more reliable signals on higher timeframes.
Best utilized in conjunction with additional technical indicators and risk management strategies.
No indicator guarantees future performance; proper analysis and trade management remain essential.
