RSI and CCICombined RSI and CCI Indicator for MetaTrader
The Combined RSI and CCI Indicator is a powerful hybrid momentum oscillator designed to merge the strengths of two popular indicators—the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Commodity Channel Index (CCI)—into a single, visually intuitive chart window. This tool enhances traders’ ability to identify overbought and oversold conditions, divergences, trend strength, and potential reversal zones with improved precision.
Purpose
By integrating RSI and CCI, this indicator helps filter out false signals that often occur when using each tool independently. It is especially useful for swing trading, trend confirmation, and spotting high-probability entry/exit zones. This dual-oscillator approach combines RSI’s relative momentum insights with CCI’s deviation-based analysis to produce a more reliable signal structure.
Key Features
Dual Oscillator Display: Plots both RSI and CCI on the same subwindow for easy comparison and correlation analysis.
Customizable Parameters:
RSI Period and Level (default: 14)
CCI Period and Typical Price Type (default: 20, TP)
Overbought/Oversold Levels for both indicators
Color-Coded Zones:
Background highlights when both RSI and CCI enter overbought/oversold territory, signaling high potential reversal zones.
Combined Signal Logic (Optional Feature):
Buy Signal: RSI < 30 and CCI < -100
Sell Signal: RSI > 70 and CCI > 100
These can be visualized as arrows or plotted as signal markers.
Trend Filter Overlay (Optional):
Can be combined with a moving average or price action filter to confirm trend direction before accepting signals.
Divergence Detection (Advanced Option):
Optional plotting of bullish or bearish divergence where both indicators diverge from price action.
Multi-Timeframe Compatibility:
Allows the use of higher timeframe RSI/CCI values to confirm signals on lower timeframes.
Benefits
Improved Signal Accuracy: Using both RSI and CCI together helps avoid false breakouts and whipsaws.
More Informed Decision-Making: Correlating momentum (RSI) with deviation (CCI) provides a well-rounded picture of market behavior.
Efficient Charting: Saves screen space and cognitive load by combining two indicators into one clean panel.
Scalable Strategy Integration: Can be used in discretionary trading or coded into automated strategies/alerts.
Use Case Example
In a ranging market, the indicator highlights zones where both RSI and CCI are oversold, alerting traders to potential bounce opportunities.
In trending markets, it confirms trend strength when RSI and CCI are both aligned with trend direction.
When RSI is diverging from price but CCI isn’t, it can be a clue of weakening momentum, helping traders scale out or avoid traps.
This combined indicator offers a versatile, high-performance toolset for traders looking to elevate their technical analysis by leveraging multiple momentum perspectives simultaneously.
Trend Strength MeterThe Trend Strength Meter (TSM) is a powerful and versatile indicator designed to help traders identify market trends, measure their strength, and detect potential reversals with ease. This indicator combines the power of moving averages, divergence detection, and a clean, customizable dashboard to provide actionable insights for traders of all levels.
How It Works
Trend Strength Calculation:
1. The TSM calculates the trend strength using the difference between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs): a fast EMA (default: 20) and a slow EMA (default: 50).
2. The difference is expressed as a percentage of the slow EMA, providing a clear measure of the trend's strength and direction.
Histogram Visualization:
1. A color-coded histogram visually represents the trend strength:
Green: Bullish trend
Red: Bearish trend
Gray: Neutral or no significant trend
2. A smoothed trend strength line (SMA of the trend strength) is also plotted for better clarity.
Divergence Detection:
1. The indicator detects bullish and bearish divergences using the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and price action.
2. Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, but RSI makes a higher low, signaling potential upward momentum.
3. Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, but RSI makes a lower high, signaling potential downward momentum.
=> Divergences are marked with arrows on the chart:
Green Arrow: Bullish divergence
Red Arrow: Bearish divergence
Dashboard:
1. A clean and informative dashboard displays key information:
Trend Strength Value: The current strength of the trend
Trend Direction: Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral
Last Signal: Buy, Sell, or None (based on divergence signals)
The dashboard is fully customizable and can be positioned anywhere on the chart (e.g., top-right, bottom-left, center, etc.).
Key Features
1. Trend Strength Measurement: Quickly identify the strength and direction of the trend.
2. Divergence Detection: Spot potential reversals before they occur with bullish and bearish divergence signals.
3. Customizable Dashboard: Move the dashboard to your preferred location on the chart for better visibility.
4. User-Friendly Design: Clean visuals and intuitive color coding make it easy to interpret market conditions.
5. Actionable Signals: Provides clear Buy/Sell signals based on divergence, helping traders make informed decisions.
How to Use
1. Trend Confirmation:
Use the histogram and trend strength value to confirm the current market trend.
Green bars indicate a bullish trend, while red bars indicate a bearish trend.
2. Divergence Signals:
Look for divergence arrows (green for bullish, red for bearish) to anticipate potential reversals.
Combine divergence signals with other technical analysis tools for higher accuracy.
3. Dashboard Insights:
Monitor the dashboard for real-time updates on trend strength, direction, and the latest signal.
Use the "Last Signal" (Buy/Sell) to validate your trading decisions.
4. Custom Settings:
Adjust the EMA lengths and divergence lookback period to suit your trading style and timeframe.
Position the dashboard anywhere on the chart for convenience.
Best Practices

Mswing HommaThe Mswing is a momentum oscillator that calculates the rate of price change over 20 and 50 periods (days/weeks). Apart from quantifying momentum, it can be used for assessing relative strength, sectoral rotation & entry/exit signals.
Quantifying Momentum Strength
The Mswing's relationship with its EMA (e.g., 5-period or 9-period) is used for momentum analysis:
• M Swing >0 and Above EMA: Momentum is positive and accelerating (ideal for entries).
• M Swing >0 and Below EMA: Momentum is positive but decelerating (caution).
• M Swing <0 and Above EMA: Momentum is negative but improving (watch for reversals).
• M Swing <0 and Below EMA: Momentum is negative and worsening (exit or avoid).
Relative Strength Scanning (M Score)
Sort stocks by their M Swing using TradingView’s Pine scanner.
Compare the Mswing scores of indices/sectors to allocate capital to stronger groups (e.g., renewables vs. traditional energy).
Stocks with strong Mswing scores tend to outperform during bullish phases, while weak ones collapse faster in downtrends.
Entry and Exit Signals
Entry: Buy when Mswing crosses above 0 + price breaks key moving averages (50-day SMA). Use Mswing >0 to confirm valid breakouts. Buy dips when Mswing holds above EMA during retracements.
Exit: Mswing can be used for exiting a stock in 2 ways:
• Sell in Strength: Mswing >4 (overbought).
• Sell in Weakness: Mswing <0 + price below 50-day SMA.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
• Daily: For swing trades.
• Weekly: For trend confirmation.
• Monthly: For long-term portfolio adjustments.
Uptrick: Portfolio Allocation DiversificationIntro
The Uptrick: Portfolio Allocation Diversification script is designed to help traders and investors manage multiple assets simultaneously. It generates signals based on various trading systems, allocates capital using different diversification methods, and displays real-time metrics and performance tables on the chart. The indicator compares active trading strategies with a separate long-term holding (HODL) simulation, allowing you to see how a systematic trading approach stacks up against a simple buy-and-hold strategy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trading System Selection
1. No signals (none)
In this mode, the script does not produce bullish or bearish indicators; every asset stays in a neutral stance. This setup is useful if you prefer to observe how capital might be distributed based solely on the chosen diversification method, with no influence from directional signals.
2. rsi – neutral
This mode uses an index-based measure of whether an asset appears overbought or oversold. It generates a bearish signal if market conditions point to overbought territory, and a bullish signal if they indicate oversold territory. If neither extreme surfaces, it remains neutral. Some traders apply this in sideways or range-bound conditions, where overbought and oversold levels often hint at possible turning points. It does not specifically account for divergence patterns.
3. rsi – long only
In this setting, the system watches for instances where momentum readings strengthen even if the asset’s price is still under pressure or setting new lows. It also considers oversold levels as potential signals for a bullish setup. When such conditions emerge, the script flags a possible move to the upside, ignoring indications that might otherwise suggest a bearish trend. This approach is generally favored by those who want to concentrate exclusively on identifying price recoveries.
4. rsi – short only
Here, the script focuses on spotting signs of deteriorating momentum while an asset’s price remains relatively high or attempts further gains. It also checks whether the market is drifting into overbought territory, suggesting a potential decline. Under such conditions, it issues a bearish signal. It provides no bullish alerts, making it particularly suitable for traders who look to take advantage of overvalued scenarios or protect themselves against sudden downward moves.
5. Deviation from fair value
Under this system, the script judges how far the current price may have strayed from what is considered typical, taking into account normal fluctuations. If the asset appears to be trading at an unusually low level compared to that reference, it is flagged as bullish. If it seems abnormally high, a bearish signal is issued. This can be applied in various market environments to seek opportunities that arise from perceived mispricing.
6. Percentile channel valuation
In this mode, the script determines where an asset's price stands within a historical distribution, highlighting whether it has reached unusually high or low territory compared to its recent past. When the price reaches what is deemed an extreme reading, it may indicate that a reversal is more likely. This approach is often used by traders who watch for statistical outliers and potential reversion to a more typical trading range.
7. ATH valuation
This technique involves comparing an asset's current price with its previously recorded peak values. The script then interprets whether the price is positioned so far below the all-time high that it looks discounted, or so close to that high that it could be overextended. Such perspective is favored by market participants who want to see if an asset still has ample room to climb before matching historic extremes, or if it is nearing a possible ceiling.
8. Z-score system
Here, the script measures how far above or below a standard reference average an asset's price may be, translated into standardized units. Substantial negative readings can suggest a price that might be unusually weak, prompting a bullish indication, while large positive readings could signal overextension and lead to a bearish call. This method is useful for traders watching for abrupt deviations from a norm that often invite a reversion to more balanced levels.
RSI Divergence Period
This input is particularly relevant for the RSI - Long Only and RSI - Short Only modes. The period determines how many bars in the past you compare RSI values to detect any divergences.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Diversification Method
Once the script has determined a bullish, bearish, or neutral stance for each asset, it then calculates how to distribute capital among all included assets. The diversification method sets the weighting logic.
1. None
Gives each asset an equal weight. For example, if you have five included assets, each might get 20 percent. This is a simple baseline.
2. Risk-Adjusted Expected Return Using Volatility Clustering
Emphasizes each asset’s average returns relative to its observed risk or volatility tendencies. Assets that exhibit good risk-adjusted returns combined with moderate or lower volatility may receive higher weights than more volatile or less appealing assets. This helps steer capital toward assets that have historically provided a better ratio of return to risk.
3. Relative Strength
Allocates more capital to assets that show stronger price strength compared to a reference (for example, price above a long-term moving average plus a higher RSI). Assets in clear uptrends may be given higher allocations.
4. Trend-Following Indicators
Examines trend-based signals, like positive momentum measurements or upward-trending strength indicators, to assign more weight to assets demonstrating strong directional moves. This suits those who prefer to latch onto trending markets.
5. Volatility-Adjusted Momentum
Looks for assets that have strong price momentum but relatively subdued volatility. The script tends to reward assets that are trending well yet are not too volatile, aiming for stable upward performance rather than massive swings.
6. Correlation-Based Risk Parity
Attempts to weight assets in such a way that the overall portfolio risk is more balanced. Although it is not an advanced correlation matrix approach in a strict sense, it conceptually scales each asset’s weight so no single outlier heavily dominates.
7. Omega Ratio Maximization
Gives preference to assets with higher omega ratios. This ratio can be interpreted as the probability-weighted gains versus losses. Assets with a favorable skew are given more capital.
8. Liquidity-Weighted Valuation
Considers each asset’s average trading liquidity, such as the combination of volume and price. More liquid assets typically receive a higher allocation because they can be entered or exited with lower slippage. If the trading system signals bullishness, that can further boost the allocation, and if it signals bearishness, the allocation might be set to zero or reduced drastically.
9. Drawdown-Controlled Allocation (DCA)
Examines each asset’s maximum drawdown over a recent window. Assets experiencing lighter drawdowns (thus indicating somewhat less downside volatility) receive higher allocations, aiming for a smoother overall equity curve.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Portfolio and Allocation Settings
Portfolio Value
Defines how much total capital is available for the strategy-based investment portion. For example, if set to 10,000, then each asset’s monetary allocation is determined by the percentage weighting times 10,000.
Use Fixed Allocation
When enabled, the script calculates the initial allocation percentages after 50 bars of data have passed. It then locks those percentages for the remainder of the backtest or real-time session. This feature allows traders to test a static weighting scenario to see how it differs from recalculating weights at each bar.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
HODL Simulator
The script has a separate simulation that accumulates positions in an asset whenever it appears to be recovering from an undervalued state. This parallel tracking is intended to contrast a simple buy-and-hold approach with the more adaptive allocation methods used elsewhere in the script.
HODL Buy Quantity
Each time an asset transitions from an undervalued state to a recovery phase, the simulator executes a purchase of a predefined quantity. For example, if set to 0.5 units, the system will accumulate this amount whenever conditions indicate a shift away from undervaluation.
HODL Buy Threshold
This parameter determines the level at which the simulation identifies an asset as transitioning out of an undervalued state. When the asset moves above this threshold after previously being classified as undervalued, a buy order is triggered. Over time, the performance of these accumulated positions is tracked, allowing for a comparison between this passive accumulation method and the more dynamic allocation strategy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Asset Table and Display Settings
The script displays data in multiple tables directly on your chart. You can toggle these tables on or off and position them in various corners of your TradingView screen.
Asset Info Table Position
This table provides key details for each included asset, displaying:
Symbol – Identifies the trading pair being monitored. This helps users keep track of which assets are included in the portfolio allocation process.
Current Trading Signal – Indicates whether the asset is in a bullish, bearish, or neutral state based on the selected trading system. This assists in quickly identifying which assets are showing potential trade opportunities.
Volatility Approximation – Represents the asset’s historical price fluctuations. Higher volatility suggests greater price swings, which can impact risk management and position sizing.
Liquidity Estimate – Reflects the asset’s market liquidity, often based on trading volume and price activity. More liquid assets tend to have lower transaction costs and reduced slippage, making them more favorable for active strategies.
Risk-Adjusted Return Value – Measures the asset’s returns relative to its risk level. This helps in determining whether an asset is generating efficient returns for the level of volatility it experiences, which is useful when making allocation decisions.
2. Strategy Allocation Table Position
Displays how your selected diversification method converts each asset into an allocation percentage. It also shows how much capital is being invested per asset, the cumulative return, standard performance metrics (for example, Sharpe ratio), and the separate HODL return percentage.
Symbol – Displays the asset being analyzed, ensuring clarity in allocation distribution.
Allocation Percentage – Represents the proportion of total capital assigned to each asset. This value is determined by the selected diversification method and helps traders understand how funds are distributed within the portfolio.
Investment Amount – Converts the allocation percentage into a dollar value based on the total portfolio size. This shows the exact amount being invested in each asset.
Cumulative Return – Tracks the total return of each asset over time, reflecting how well it has performed since the strategy began.
Sharpe Ratio – Evaluates the asset’s return in relation to its risk by comparing excess returns to volatility. A higher Sharpe ratio suggests a more favorable risk-adjusted performance.
Sortino Ratio – Similar to the Sharpe ratio, but focuses only on downside risk, making it more relevant for traders who prioritize minimizing losses.
Omega Ratio – Compares the probability of achieving gains versus losses, helping to assess whether an asset provides an attractive risk-reward balance.
Maximum Drawdown – Measures the largest percentage decline from an asset’s peak value to its lowest point. This metric helps traders understand the worst-case loss scenario.
HODL Return Percentage – Displays the hypothetical return if the asset had been bought and held instead of traded actively, offering a direct comparison between passive accumulation and the active strategy.
3. Profit Table
If the Profit Table is activated, it provides a summary of the actual dollar-based gains or losses for each asset and calculates the overall profit of the system. This table includes separate columns for profit excluding HODL and the combined total when HODL gains are included. As seen in the image below, this allows users to compare the performance of the active strategy against a passive buy-and-hold approach. The HODL profit percentage is derived from the Portfolio Value input, ensuring a clear comparison of accumulated returns.
4. Best Performing Asset Table
Focuses on the single highest-returning or highest-profit asset at that moment. It highlights the symbol, the asset’s cumulative returns, risk metrics, and other relevant stats. This helps identify which asset is currently outperforming the rest.
5. Most Profitable Asset
A simpler table that underscores the asset producing the highest absolute dollar profit across the portfolio.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multi Asset Selection
You can include up to ten different assets (such as BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, ADAUSDT, and so on) in this script. Each asset has two inputs: one to enable or disable its inclusion, and another to select its trading pair symbol. Once you enable an asset, the script requests the relevant market data from TradingView.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Uniqness and Features
1. Multiple Data Fetches
Each asset is pulled from the chart’s timeframe, along with various metrics such as RSI, volatility approximations, and trend indicators.
2. Various Risk and Performance Metrics
The script internally keeps track of different measures, like Sharpe ratio (a measure of average return adjusted for risk), Sortino ratio (which focuses on downside volatility), Omega ratio, and maximum drawdown. These metrics feed into the strategy allocation table, helping you quickly assess the risk-and-return profile of each asset.
3. Real-Time Tables
Instead of having to set up complex spreadsheets or external dashboards, the script updates all tables on every new bar. The color schemes in these tables are designed to draw attention to bullish or bearish signals, positive or negative returns, and so forth.
4. HODL Comparison
You can visually compare the active strategy’s results to a separate continuous buy-on-dips accumulation strategy. This allows for insight into whether your dynamic approach truly beats a simpler, more patient method.
5. Locking Allocations
The Use Fixed Allocation input is convenient for those who want to see how holding a fixed distribution of capital performs over time. It helps in distinguishing between constant rebalancing vs a fixed, set-and-forget style.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to use
1. Add the Script to Your Chart
Once added, open the settings panel to configure your asset list, choose a trading system, and select the diversification approach.
2. Select Assets
Pick up to ten symbols to monitor. Disable any you do not want included. Each included asset is then handled for signals, diversification, and performance metrics.
3. Choose Trading System
Decide if you prefer RSI-based signals, a fair-value approach, or a percentile-based method, among others. The script will then flag assets as bullish, bearish, or neutral according to that selection.
4. Pick a Diversification Method
For example, you might choose Trend-Following Indicators if you believe momentum stocks or cryptocurrencies will continue their trends. Or you could use the Omega Ratio approach if you want to reward assets that have had a favorable upside probability.
5. Set Portfolio Value and HODL Parameters
Enter how much capital you want to allocate in total (for the dynamic strategy) and adjust HODL buy quantities and thresholds as desired. (HODL Profit % is calculated from the Portfolio Value)
6. Inspect the Tables
On the chart, the script can display multiple tables showing your allocations, returns, risk metrics, and which assets are leading or lagging. Monitor these to make decisions about capital distribution or see how the strategy evolves.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional Remarks
This script aims to simplify multi-asset portfolio management in a single tool. It emphasizes user-friendliness by color-coding the data in tables, so you do not need extra spreadsheets. The script is also flexible in letting you lock allocations or compare dynamic updates.
Always remember that no script can guarantee profitable outcomes. Real markets involve unpredictability, and real trading includes fees, slippage, and liquidity constraints not fully accounted for here. The script uses real-time and historical data for demonstration and educational purposes, providing a testing environment for various systematic strategies.
Performance Considerations
Due to the complexity of this script, users may experience longer loading times, especially when handling multiple assets or using advanced allocation methods. In some cases, calculations may time out if too many settings are adjusted simultaneously. If this occurs, removing and reapplying the indicator to the chart can help reset the process. Additionally, it is recommended to configure inputs gradually instead of adjusting all parameters at once, as excessive changes can extend the script’s loading duration beyond TradingView’s processing limits.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Originality
This script stands out by integrating multiple asset management techniques within a single indicator, eliminating the need for multiple scripts or external portfolio tools. Unlike traditional single-asset strategies, it simultaneously evaluates multiple assets, applies systematic allocation logic, and tracks risk-adjusted performance in real time. The script is designed to function within TradingView’s script limitations while still allowing for complex portfolio simulations, making it an efficient tool for traders managing diverse holdings. Additionally, its combination of systematic trading signals with allocation-based diversification provides a structured approach to balancing exposure across different market conditions. The dynamic interplay between adaptive trading strategies and passive accumulation further differentiates it from conventional strategy indicators that focus solely on directional signals without considering capital allocation.
Conclusion
Uptrick: Portfolio Allocation Diversification pulls multiple assets into one efficient workflow, where each asset’s signal, volatility, and performance is measured, then assigned a share of capital according to your selected diversification method. The script accommodates both dynamic rebalancing and a locked allocation style, plus an ongoing HODL simulation for passive accumulation comparison. It neatly visualizes the entire process through on-chart tables that are updated every bar.
Traders and investors looking for ways to manage multiple assets under one unified framework can explore the different modules within this script to find what suits their style. Users can quickly switch among trading systems, vary the allocation approach, or review side-by-side performance metrics to see which method aligns best with their risk tolerance and market perspective.

The Precious Metals & GSR Indicator operates by fetching the latest prices of the selected precious metals in the user's chosen currency. It then calculates the ratio between two selected metals (Metal 1 and Metal 2) and analyzes this ratio over a specified period. By computing quantile bands and high/low bands, the indicator provides insights into the historical performance and current standing of the ratio.
⚪ Ratio Calculation
The core of this indicator is the metal ratio, calculated by dividing the price of Metal 1 by Metal 2.
A rising ratio means Metal 1 is outperforming Metal 2.
A falling ratio means Metal 2 is outperforming Metal 1.
The indicator automatically retrieves live market prices of Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium to compute the ratio.
⚪ Quantile Ratio Bands
The indicator calculates the highest (max) and lowest (min) ratio levels over a user-defined period.
It also plots quantile bands at the 10th, 25th, 50th (median), 75th, and 90th percentiles, providing deeper statistical insights into how extreme or average the current ratio is.
The median (Q50) acts as a reference level, showing whether the ratio is above or below its historical midpoint.
⚪ Interpretation Table
The Ratio Interpretation Table provides a text-based summary of the ratio’s strength.
It detects whether Metal 1 is at a historical high, low, or within common ranges.
This helps traders and investors make informed decisions on whether the ratio is overextended, mean-reverting, or trending.
⚪ Precious Metals Table
Displays live market prices for Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium.
Prices are shown in different units (oz, kg, grams, and troy ounces) based on user preferences.
A color-coded system highlights price changes, making it easier to track market movements.
⚪ Physical Holding Calculator
Users can enter their precious metal holdings to estimate their current value.
The system adjusts calculations based on weight, purity (24K, 22K, etc.), and unit of measurement.
The holding value is displayed in the selected currency (USD, EUR, GBP, etc.).
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Identification
If the ratio is increasing, Metal 1 is gaining strength relative to Metal 2 → Possible Long Position on Metal 1 / Short on Metal 2
If the ratio is decreasing, Metal 2 is gaining strength relative to Metal 1 → Possible Short Position on Metal 1 / Long on Metal 2
⚪ Mean Reversion Strategy
When the ratio reaches the 90th percentile, Metal 1 is historically overextended (expensive) compared to Metal 2.
Traders may look to sell Metal 1 and buy Metal 2, expecting the ratio to decline back toward its historical average.
Example (Gold/Silver Ratio): If the GSR is above the 90th percentile, gold is very expensive relative to silver, suggesting a potential buying opportunity in silver and/or a selling opportunity in gold.
When the ratio reaches the 10th percentile, Metal 1 is historically undervalued (cheap) compared to Metal 2.
Traders may look to buy Metal 1 and sell Metal 2, expecting the ratio to rise back toward its historical average.
Example (Gold/Silver Ratio): If the GSR is below the 10th percentile, gold is very cheap relative to silver, suggesting a potential buying opportunity in gold and/or a selling opportunity in silver.
⚪ Common Strategy Based on GSR Insights
A common approach involves monitoring the ratio for extreme values based on historical data. When the ratio reaches historically high levels, it suggests that gold is expensive relative to silver, potentially indicating a buying opportunity for silver and/or a selling opportunity for gold. Conversely, when the ratio is at historically low levels, silver is expensive relative to gold, suggesting a potential buying opportunity for gold and/or selling opportunity for silver. This mean-reversion strategy relies on the tendency of the GSR to return to its historical average over time.
⚪ Hedging & Portfolio Diversification
If Gold is strongly outperforming Silver, investors may shift allocations to balance risk.
If Silver is rapidly gaining on Gold, it may indicate increased industrial demand or speculative interest.
⚪ Inflation & Economic Cycles
A rising Gold-Silver ratio often correlates with economic downturns and increased risk aversion.
A falling Gold-Silver ratio may signal stronger economic growth and higher inflation expectations.

Bollinger Bands + RSI [Uncle Sam Trading]The Bollinger Bands + RSI indicator combines two popular technical analysis tools, Bollinger Bands (BB) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI), into a unified framework designed to assess both market volatility and momentum. This indicator provides both visual signals on the chart, and allows you to set alerts. It is intended to help traders identify potential overbought/oversold conditions, trend reversals, and to refine trade entry and exit points.
Key Features:
Bollinger Bands: The indicator plots Bollinger Bands, which consist of a basis line (typically a 20-period Simple Moving Average), an upper band (basis + 2 standard deviations), and a lower band (basis - 2 standard deviations). The bands dynamically adjust to market volatility, widening during periods of increased volatility and contracting during periods of decreased volatility.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): The RSI, a momentum oscillator, is plotted in a separate pane below the price chart. It measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions in the price of a stock or other asset. Traditional interpretation uses 70 and 30 as overbought and oversold levels, respectively.
Overbought/Oversold Zones Highlighting: This indicator uniquely highlights overbought and oversold zones directly on the price chart based on the RSI values. When the RSI is above the overbought level (default 70), a red-shaded area is displayed. When the RSI is below the oversold level (default 30), a green-shaded area is displayed. These visual cues enhance the identification of potential trend reversals.
Buy and Sell Signals: The indicator generates buy signals when the price crosses above the lower Bollinger Band and the RSI is below the oversold level (if the RSI filter is enabled). Sell signals are generated when the price crosses below the upper Bollinger Band and the RSI is above the overbought level (if the RSI filter is enabled). These signals are plotted as green upward-pointing triangles (buy) and red downward-pointing triangles (sell) on the chart.
Customizable Parameters: Users can adjust various settings, including:
Bollinger Bands Length: The number of periods used to calculate the moving average and standard deviation.
Bollinger Bands Standard Deviation: The multiplier used to determine the distance of the upper and lower bands from the basis.
RSI Length: The number of periods used to calculate the RSI.
RSI Overbought/Oversold Levels: The threshold values that define overbought and oversold conditions for the RSI.
Use RSI Filter for Signals: Enable/disable the RSI filter for buy and sell signals.
Colors: The colors of the Bollinger Bands, RSI, overbought/oversold levels, and zone highlights can be customized to suit user preferences.
Alerts: The indicator supports customizable alerts for various conditions, including:
Buy Signal: Triggered when a buy signal is generated.
Sell Signal: Triggered when a sell signal is generated.
Price Crossed Upper BB: Triggered when the price crosses above the upper Bollinger Band.
Price Crossed Lower BB: Triggered when the price crosses below the lower Bollinger Band.
RSI Overbought: Triggered when the RSI crosses above the overbought level.
RSI Oversold: Triggered when the RSI crosses below the oversold level.
How to Use:
The Bollinger Bands + RSI indicator can be used in various ways, including:
Identifying Potential Trend Reversals: Price crosses above the lower band coupled with an oversold RSI (and highlighted zone) may signal a bullish reversal. Conversely, a price cross below the upper band with an overbought RSI (and highlighted zone) may indicate a bearish reversal.
Confirming Trend Strength: In an uptrend, the price may "ride" the upper band, while in a downtrend, it may "ride" the lower band.
Exit Signals: Crossing the opposite band while in a trade, particularly with confirming RSI signals, is often used to identify potential exit points.
Combined with Other Analysis: This indicator works well in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as trend lines, support/resistance levels, chart patterns, and moving average-based strategies.

Volatility Footprint CandlesVolatility Footprint is an innovative volume profile indicator that dynamically adapts to real-time market conditions, providing traders with a powerful tool to visualize and interpret market structure, order flow, and potential areas of support and resistance.
At its core, Volatility Footprint combines the concepts of market profile, volume analysis, and volatility measurement to create a unique and adaptive charting experience. The indicator intelligently adjusts its display based on the current market volatility, ensuring that traders always have a clear and readable chart, regardless of the instrument or timeframe they are analyzing.
The footprint chart is composed of a series of color-coded boxes, each representing a specific price level. The color of the box indicates whether there is a net buying or selling pressure at that level, while the opacity reflects the relative strength of the volume. This intuitive visualization allows traders to quickly identify areas of high and low volume, as well as potential imbalances in order flow.
In addition to the individual box volumes, Volatility Footprint also calculates and displays the cumulative volume delta. This running total of buy and sell volumes across all price levels provides valuable insight into the overall market sentiment and potential trends.
One of the key features of Volatility Footprint is its ability to identify and highlight the Point of Control (POC). The POC represents the price level with the highest volume concentration and serves as a key reference point for potential support or resistance. By drawing attention to this crucial level, the indicator helps traders make more informed decisions about potential entry and exit points.
Volatility Footprint is designed to be highly customizable, allowing traders to tailor the appearance of the footprint chart to their specific preferences. Users can easily modify the colors, opacity, and size of the boxes, labels, and POC marker to enhance readability and clarity.
The indicator's versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of trading styles and strategies. Whether you are a scalper looking for short-term opportunities or a swing trader aiming to identify potential trend reversals, Volatility Footprint can provide valuable insights into market dynamics.
By combining Volatility Footprint with other forms of analysis, such as price action, key levels, and technical indicators, traders can gain a more comprehensive understanding of market behavior and make better-informed trading decisions.
Volatility Footprint's adaptive approach to volume profile analysis sets it apart from traditional fixed-resolution volume profile indicators. By dynamically adjusting to the unique characteristics of each instrument and timeframe, the indicator ensures that traders always have a clear and meaningful representation of market structure and order flow.
Volatility Footprint is a powerful tool that traders can incorporate into their market analysis and decision-making process. By providing a dynamic, visual representation of volume and order flow at different price levels, this indicator offers valuable insights into market structure, sentiment, and potential areas of support and resistance. Let's explore how traders might effectively utilize Volatility Footprint in their trading approach.
1. Identifying Key Levels:
One of the primary uses of Volatility Footprint is to identify key price levels where significant trading activity has occurred. The color-coded boxes allow traders to quickly spot areas of high volume concentration, which may indicate potential support or resistance zones. For example, if a trader notices a cluster of boxes with high opacity at a specific price level, they may interpret this as a strong support or resistance area, depending on the prevailing market context. By paying attention to these key levels, traders can make more informed decisions about potential entry and exit points, as well as placement of stop-loss orders and profit targets.
2. Assessing Market Sentiment:
The cumulative volume delta feature of Volatility Footprint provides traders with a valuable gauge of overall market sentiment. By analyzing the running total of buy and sell volumes across all price levels, traders can gain insight into the dominant market forces at play. If the cumulative delta is significantly positive, it may suggest a bullish sentiment, as buying pressure has been consistently outpacing selling pressure. Conversely, a negative cumulative delta may indicate a bearish sentiment. Traders can use this information to confirm or question their bias and adjust their trading plan accordingly.
3. Confirming Breakouts and Trend Reversals:
Volatility Footprint can be particularly useful in confirming the strength and validity of breakouts and potential trend reversals. When a price level is breached, traders can refer to the footprint chart to assess the volume and order flow characteristics around that level. If the breakout is accompanied by a surge in volume and a clear imbalance between buying and selling pressure, it may suggest a strong and sustainable move. On the other hand, if the volume is relatively low or evenly distributed, the breakout may be less reliable. By using Volatility Footprint to confirm breakouts, traders can make more informed decisions about whether to enter or exit a trade, or to adjust their position size.
4. Detecting Imbalances and Potential Reversals:
Imbalances between buying and selling pressure at specific price levels can often precede significant market moves or reversals. Volatility Footprint makes it easy for traders to spot these imbalances visually. For instance, if a trader observes a price level with a significantly larger number of sell boxes compared to buy boxes, it may indicate a potential exhaustion point for a bullish trend, and a reversal might be imminent. Traders can use this information in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as trendlines, moving averages, or momentum oscillators, to identify high-probability trading opportunities.
5. Adapting to Market Conditions:
One of the key strengths of Volatility Footprint is its ability to dynamically adapt to the unique volatility characteristics of different instruments and timeframes. This adaptability ensures that the indicator remains relevant and informative across a wide range of market conditions. Traders can use Volatility Footprint to gauge the relative volatility and volume of a particular instrument or timeframe, and adjust their trading approach accordingly. For example, in a highly volatile market, traders may opt for wider stop-loss levels and smaller position sizes to account for the increased risk.
Incorporating Volatility Footprint into a trading strategy requires a combination of technical analysis, market understanding, and risk management. Traders should use this indicator as part of a comprehensive approach, combining it with other forms of analysis, such as price action, key levels, and technical indicators. By doing so, traders can gain a more complete picture of market dynamics and make better-informed trading decisions.
It's important to note that while Volatility Footprint provides valuable insights, it should not be relied upon as a standalone trading signal. Traders should always consider the broader market context, their risk tolerance, and their overall trading plan when making decisions based on the information provided by this indicator.
In conclusion, Volatility Footprint offers traders a dynamic and visually intuitive way to analyze market structure, volume, and order flow. By identifying key levels, assessing market sentiment, confirming breakouts, detecting imbalances, and adapting to market conditions, traders can leverage this powerful tool to make more informed and confident trading decisions. As with any technical analysis tool, Volatility Footprint should be used in conjunction with sound risk management principles and a well-defined trading strategy to maximize its effectiveness.
Trend Or Range ?Are you uncertain whether the market is trending or stuck in a range? The "Trend or Range?" indicator is here to eliminate the guesswork by providing a structured, data-driven analysis of market conditions.
How It Works:
This indicator doesn't rely on a single metric; instead, it analyzes five core components of market behavior to provide two actionable scores: Trend Score and Range Score. Here's how each component is calculated and integrated:
1. NATR (Normalized ATR)
Purpose: Measures volatility relative to the current price. Higher values indicate active, trending markets, while lower values suggest quieter, range-bound conditions.
NATR = ATR / Close
ATR is the Average True Range over 14 periods (default setting).
2. ADX (Average Directional Index)
Purpose: Measures the strength of the trend. A higher ADX value indicates a stronger trend.
Explanation: ADX is calculated based on directional movement (+DI and -DI). It highlights the strength of the trend, regardless of direction.
3. Slope
Purpose: Tracks the rate of change in price over a fixed period (14 by default) to identify momentum strength. A steeper slope indicates stronger trends.
Slope = abs((Close - Close ) / 14)
This measures the absolute price change over 14 bars, normalized by time.
4. RSI Stability
Purpose: Measures the consistency of the RSI (Relative Strength Index) over time, highlighting mean-reverting behavior.
RSI Stability = stdev(RSI, 14)
This calculates the standard deviation of RSI values over 14 periods.
5. Deviation Index
Purpose: Quantifies the price's deviation from its 14-period simple moving average (SMA). This highlights overextension, which is common in range-bound markets.
Deviation Index = (Close - SMA(14)) / SMA(14)
Positive values indicate price above the SMA, while negative values show it below.
Scoring System
Trend Score Calculation
The Trend Score is a weighted sum of metrics that favor trending markets:
30% NATR: High volatility is a hallmark of trends.
30% ADX: A proven measure of trend strength.
40% Slope: Directly measures momentum.
Trend Score = (0.3 * NATR) + (0.3 * ADX) + (0.4 * Slope)
Range Score Calculation
The Range Score emphasizes mean-reverting behavior:
40% RSI Stability: Captures consistent RSI values common in ranges.
40% Inverse NATR: Low volatility favors range-bound markets.
20% Deviation Index: Measures overextension from the mean.
Range Score = (0.4 * RSI Stability) + (0.4 * (1 / NATR)) + (0.2 * Deviation Index)
What You See on the Chart
Table Display: A user-friendly table appears on the chart, showing:
Real-time values of all five metrics.
Calculated Trend and Range Scores.
Color-coded signals:
Green for dominant Trend Score.
Red for dominant Range Score.
Data Plots: Each metric is plotted in the data window for further analysis.
Trend IdentifierThe “Trend Identifier” indicator is designed to help traders quickly identify trending and sideways market conditions, allowing them to adapt their strategies based on the prevailing market sentiment. By combining several technical analysis tools—ATR (Average True Range), ADX (Average Directional Index), EMA (Exponential Moving Average), and RSI (Relative Strength Index)—this script provides insights into the market’s strength, direction, and volatility to improve trade decision-making.
How It Works
1. ATR (Average True Range):
• ATR measures market volatility. In this script, ATR is used in combination with a moving average to identify periods of rising or falling volatility, which helps differentiate between trending and non-trending conditions.
2. ADX (Average Directional Index):
• ADX is a key component in identifying the strength of a trend. The script uses a threshold system to classify market conditions:
• If ADX is low (below a specified threshold plus a buffer) and ATR indicates low volatility, the market is likely in a sideways condition.
• If ADX is high (above a threshold minus a buffer) with increasing ATR, the market is likely in a trending condition.
3. EMA (Exponential Moving Average):
• A 20-period EMA is used instead of a simple moving average to enhance trend detection speed. The close price’s position relative to the EMA helps identify bullish or bearish trends when combined with ADX and ATR data.
4. RSI (Relative Strength Index):
• RSI acts as a confirmation tool for trend strength. A bullish trend is confirmed if RSI is above 50 and the price is above the EMA, whereas a bearish trend is confirmed if RSI is below 50 and the price is below the EMA.
Market Condition Signals
• Sideways Signal:
• When ADX and ATR indicate a low-volatility, sideways market, the indicator changes the background color to gray, signaling potential low-trend movement or consolidation. A “S” symbol appears above the bars, making it easier to spot this condition.
• Bullish Trend:
• When conditions favor a strong upward trend, the background changes to green. A “B” symbol is displayed below the bar, indicating the onset of a bullish market condition.
• Bearish Trend:
• Conversely, if conditions indicate a downward trend, the background color changes to red. A “S” symbol is displayed below the bar, showing a bearish trend condition.
Using the Indicator
This indicator helps traders understand the current market structure in a glance:
• Sideways (Gray): Low-volatility consolidation period, ideal for range-bound strategies or waiting for a breakout.
• Bullish (Green): Confirmed uptrend, potentially suitable for buying or long entries.
• Bearish (Red): Confirmed downtrend, ideal for short selling or exiting long positions.
The “Trend Identifier” is a powerful tool for traders who seek a clear view of the market structure, using a balanced approach of volatility, trend strength, and momentum. By combining the power of ATR, ADX, EMA, and RSI, this indicator provides a nuanced picture of the market’s behavior, assisting traders in making more informed decisions.
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.

TASC 2024.11 Ultimate Strength Index█ OVERVIEW
This script implements the Ultimate Strength Index (USI) indicator, introduced by John Ehlers in his article titled "Ultimate Strength Index (USI)" from the November 2024 edition of TASC's Traders' Tips . The USI is a modified version of Wilder's original Relative Strength Index (RSI) that incorporates Ehlers' UltimateSmoother lowpass filter to produce an output with significantly reduced lag.
█ CONCEPTS
Many technical indicators, including the RSI, lag due to their heavy reliance on historical data. John Ehlers reformulated the RSI to substantially reduce lag by applying his UltimateSmoother filter to upward movements ( strength up - SU ) and downward movements ( strength down - SD ) in the time series, replacing the standard process of smoothing changes with rolling moving averages (RMAs). Ehlers' recent works, covered in our recent script publications, have shown that the UltimateSmoother is an effective alternative to other classic averages, offering notably less lag in its response.
Ehlers also modified the RSI formula to produce an index that ranges from -1 to +1 instead of 0 to 100. As a result, the USI indicates bullish conditions when its value moves above 0 and bearish conditions when it falls below 0.
The USI retains many of the strengths of the traditional RSI while offering the advantage of reduced lag. It generally uses a larger lookback window than the conventional RSI to achieve similar behavior, making it suitable for trend trading with longer data lengths. When applied with shorter lengths, the USI's peaks and valleys tend to align closely with significant turning points in the time series, making it a potentially helpful tool for timing swing trades.
█ CALCULATIONS
The first step in the USI's calculation is determining each bar's strength up (SU) and strength down (SD) values. If the current bar's close exceeds the previous bar's, the calculation assigns the difference to SU. Otherwise, SU is zero. Likewise, if the current bar's close is below the previous bar's, it assigns the difference to SD. Otherwise, SD is zero.
Next, instead of the RSI's typical smoothing process, the USI's calculation applies the UltimateSmoother to the short-term average SU and SD values, reducing high-frequency chop in the series with low lag.
Finally, this formula determines the USI value:
USI = ( Ult (SU) − Ult (SD)) / ( Ult (SU) + Ult (SD)),
where Ult (SU) and Ult (SD) are the smoothed average strength up and strength down values.
Momentum Nexus Oscillator [UAlgo]The "Momentum Nexus Oscillator " indicator is a comprehensive momentum-based tool designed to provide traders with visual cues on market conditions using multiple oscillators. By combining four popular technical indicators—RSI (Relative Strength Index), VZO (Volume Zone Oscillator), MFI (Money Flow Index), and CCI (Commodity Channel Index)—this heatmap offers a holistic view of the market's momentum.
The indicator plots two lines: one representing the current chart’s combined momentum score and the other representing a higher timeframe’s (HTF) score, if enabled. Through smooth gradient color transitions and easy-to-read signals, the Momentum Nexus Heatmap allows traders to easily identify potential trend reversals or continuation patterns.
Traders can use this tool to detect overbought or oversold conditions, helping them anticipate possible long or short trade opportunities. The option to use a higher timeframe enhances the flexibility of the indicator for longer-term trend analysis.
🔶 Key Features
Multi-Oscillator Approach: Combines four popular momentum oscillators (RSI, VZO, MFI, and CCI) to generate a weighted score, providing a comprehensive picture of market momentum.
Dynamic Color Heatmap: Utilizes a smooth gradient transition between bullish and bearish colors, reflecting market momentum across different thresholds.
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Compatibility: Includes an optional higher timeframe input that displays a separate score line based on the same momentum metrics, allowing for multi-timeframe analysis.
Customizable Parameters: Adjustable RSI, VZO, MFI, and CCI lengths, as well as overbought and oversold levels, to match the trader’s strategy or preference.
Signal Alerts: Built-in alert conditions for both the current chart and higher timeframe scores, notifying traders when long or short entry signals are triggered.
Buy/Sell Signals: Displays visual signals (▲ and ▼) on the chart when combined scores reach overbought or oversold levels, providing clear entry cues.
User-Friendly Visualization: The heatmap is separated into four sections representing each indicator, providing a transparent view of how each contributes to the overall momentum score.
🔶 Interpreting Indicator:
Combined Score
The indicator generates a combined score by weighing the individual contributions of RSI, VZO, MFI, and CCI. This score ranges from 0 to 100 and is plotted as a line on the chart. Lower values suggest potential oversold conditions, while higher values indicate overbought conditions.
Color Heatmap
The indicator divides the combined score into four distinct sections, each representing one of the underlying momentum oscillators (RSI, VZO, MFI, and CCI). Bullish (greenish) colors indicate upward momentum, while bearish (grayish) colors suggest downward momentum.
Long/Short Signals
When the combined score drops below the oversold threshold (default is 26), a long signal (▲) is displayed on the chart, indicating a potential buying opportunity.
When the combined score exceeds the overbought threshold (default is 74), a short signal (▼) is shown, signaling a potential sell or short opportunity.
Higher Timeframe Analysis
If enabled, the indicator also plots a line representing the combined score for a higher timeframe. This can be used to align lower timeframe trades with the broader trend of a higher timeframe, providing added confirmation.
Signals for long and short entries are also plotted for the higher timeframe when its combined score reaches overbought or oversold levels.
🔶Purpose of Using Multiple Technical Indicators
The combination of RSI, VZO, MFI, and CCI in the Momentum Nexus Heatmap provides a comprehensive approach to analyzing market momentum by leveraging the unique strengths of each indicator. This multi-indicator method minimizes the limitations of using just one tool, resulting in more reliable signals and a clearer understanding of market conditions.
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
RSI contributes by measuring the strength and speed of recent price movements. It helps identify overbought or oversold levels, signaling potential trend reversals or corrections. Its simplicity and effectiveness make it one of the most widely used indicators in technical analysis, contributing to momentum assessment in a straightforward manner.
VZO (Volume Zone Oscillator)
VZO adds the critical element of volume to the analysis. By assessing whether price movements are supported by significant volume, VZO distinguishes between price changes that are driven by real market conviction and those that might be short-lived. It helps validate the strength of a trend or alert the trader to potential weakness when price moves are unsupported by volume.
MFI (Money Flow Index)
MFI enhances the analysis by combining price and volume to gauge money flow into and out of an asset. This indicator provides insight into the participation of large players in the market, showing if money is pouring into or exiting the asset. MFI acts as a volume-weighted version of RSI, giving more weight to volume shifts and helping traders understand the sustainability of price trends.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
CCI contributes by measuring how far the price deviates from its statistical average. This helps in identifying extreme conditions where the market might be overextended in either direction. CCI is especially useful for spotting trend reversals or continuations, particularly during market extremes, and for identifying divergence signals.

RSI 15/60 and ADX PlotIn this script, the buy and sell criteria are based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) values calculated for two different timeframes: the 15-minute RSI and the hourly RSI. These timeframes are used together to check signals when certain thresholds are crossed, providing confirmation across both short-term and longer-term momentum.
Buy Criteria:
Condition 1:
Hourly RSI > 60: This means the longer-term momentum shows strength.
15-minute RSI crosses above 60: This shows that the shorter-term momentum is catching up and confirms increasing strength.
Condition 2:
15-minute RSI > 60: This indicates that the short-term trend is already strong.
Hourly RSI crosses above 60: This confirms that the longer-term trend is also gaining strength.
Both conditions aim to capture the moments when the market shows increasing strength across both short and long timeframes, signaling a potential buy opportunity.
Sell Criteria:
Condition 1:
Hourly RSI < 40: This indicates that the longer-term trend is weakening.
15-minute RSI crosses below 40: The short-term momentum is also turning down, confirming the weakening trend.
Condition 2:
15-minute RSI < 40: The short-term trend is already weak.
Hourly RSI crosses below 40: The longer-term trend is now confirming the weakness, indicating a potential sell.
These conditions work to identify when the market is showing weakness in both short-term and long-term timeframes, signaling a potential sell opportunity.
ADX Confirmation :
The Average Directional Index (ADX) is a key tool for measuring the strength of a trend. It can be used alongside the RSI to confirm whether a buy or sell signal is occurring in a strong trend or during market consolidation. Here's how ADX can be integrated:
ADX > 25: This indicates a strong trend. Using this threshold, you can confirm buy or sell signals when there is a strong upward or downward movement in the market.
Buy Example: If a buy signal (RSI > 60) is triggered and the ADX is above 25, this confirms that the market is in a strong uptrend, making the buy signal more reliable.
Sell Example: If a sell signal (RSI < 40) is triggered and the ADX is above 25, it confirms a strong downtrend, validating the sell signal.
ADX < 25: This suggests a weak or non-existent trend. In this case, RSI signals might be less reliable since the market could be moving sideways.
Final Approach:
The RSI criteria help identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in both short and long timeframes.
The ADX confirmation ensures that the signals generated are happening during strong trends, increasing the likelihood of successful trades by filtering out weak or choppy market conditions.
This combination of RSI and ADX can help traders make more informed decisions by ensuring both momentum and trend strength align before entering or exiting trades.
Volume-Price PercentileDescription:
The "Volume-Price Percentile Live" indicator is designed to provide real-time analysis of the relationship between volume percentiles and price percentiles on any given timeframe. This tool helps traders assess market activity by comparing how current volume levels rank relative to historical volume data and how current price movements (specifically high-low ranges) rank relative to historical price data. The indicator visualizes the ratio of volume percentile to price percentile as a histogram, allowing traders to gauge the relative strength of volume against price movements in real time.
Functionality:
Volume Percentile: Calculates the percentile rank of the current volume within a user-defined rolling period (default is 30 bars). This percentile indicates where the current volume stands in comparison to historical volumes over the specified period.
Price Percentile: Calculates the percentile rank of the current candle's high-low difference within a user-defined rolling period (default is 30 bars). This percentile reflects the current price movement's strength relative to past movements over the specified period.
Percentile Ratio (VP Ratio): The indicator plots the ratio of the volume percentile to the price percentile. This ratio helps identify periods when volume is significantly higher or lower relative to price movement, providing insights into potential market imbalances or strength.
Real-Time Data: By fetching data from a lower timeframe (e.g., 1-minute), the indicator updates continuously within the current timeframe, offering live, intra-candle updates. This ensures that traders can see the histogram change in real-time as new data becomes available, without waiting for the current candle to close.
How to Use:
Adding the Indicator: To use this indicator, add it to your chart on TradingView by selecting it from the Indicators list once it is published publicly.
Setting Parameters:
Volume Period Length: This input sets the rolling window length for calculating the volume percentile (default is 30). You can adjust it based on the desired sensitivity or historical period relevance.
Candle Period Length: This input sets the rolling window length for calculating the price percentile based on the high-low difference of candles (default is 30). Adjust this to match your trading style or analysis period.
Interpreting the Histogram:
The histogram represents the volume percentile divided by the price percentile.
Above 1: A value greater than 1 indicates that volume is relatively strong compared to price movement, which may suggest high activity or potential accumulation/distribution phases.
Below 1: A value less than 1 suggests that price movement is relatively stronger than volume, indicating potential weakness in volume relative to price moves.
Near 1: Values close to 1 suggest a balanced relationship between volume and price movement.
Application: Use this indicator to identify potential breakout or breakdown scenarios, assess the strength of price movements, and confirm trends. When volume percentile consistently leads price percentile, it might signal sustained interest and support for the current price trend. Conversely, if volume percentile lags significantly, it might warn of potential trend weakness.
Best Practices:
Multiple Timeframe Analysis: While the indicator provides real-time updates on any timeframe, consider using it alongside higher timeframe analysis to confirm trends and volume behavior across different periods.
Customization: Adjust the period lengths based on the asset’s typical volume and price behavior, as well as your trading strategy (e.g., short-term scalping vs. long-term trend following).
Complement with Other Indicators: Use this indicator in conjunction with other volume-based tools, trend indicators, or momentum oscillators to gain a comprehensive view of market dynamics.
Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator### In-Depth Analysis of the "Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator" Indicator
---
#### Introduction to the Indicator
The "Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator" is an advanced yet user-friendly technical analysis tool designed to help traders across all levels of experience identify and follow market trends with precision. This indicator builds upon the fundamental principles of the Simple Moving Average (SMA), a cornerstone of technical analysis, to deliver a clear, visually intuitive overlay on the price chart. Through its strategic use of color-coding and customizable parameters, the Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator provides traders with actionable insights into market dynamics, enhancing their ability to make informed trading decisions.
#### Core Concepts and Methodology
1. **Foundational Principle – Simple Moving Average (SMA):**
- The Simple Moving Average (SMA) is the heart of the Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator. The SMA is a widely-used technical indicator that calculates the average price of an asset over a specified number of periods. By smoothing out price data, the SMA helps to reduce the noise from short-term fluctuations, providing a clearer picture of the overall trend.
- In the Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator, two SMAs are employed:
- **Primary SMA (oscValue):** This is applied to the closing price of the asset over a user-defined period (default is 14 periods). This SMA tracks the price closely and is sensitive to changes in market direction.
- **Smoothing SMA (oscV):** This second SMA is applied to the primary SMA, further smoothing the data and helping to filter out minor price movements that might otherwise be mistaken for trend reversals. The default period for this smoothing is 50, but it can be adjusted to suit the trader's preference.
2. **Color-Coding for Trend Visualization:**
- One of the most distinctive features of this indicator is its use of color to represent market trends. The indicator’s line changes color based on the relationship between the primary SMA and the smoothing SMA:
- **Bullish (Green):** The line turns green when the primary SMA is equal to or greater than the smoothing SMA, indicating that the market is in an upward trend.
- **Bearish (Red):** Conversely, the line turns red when the primary SMA falls below the smoothing SMA, signaling a downward trend.
- This color-coded system provides traders with an immediate, easy-to-interpret visual cue about the market’s direction, allowing for quick decision-making.
#### Detailed Explanation of Inputs
1. **Bullish Color (Default: Green #00ff00):**
- This input allows traders to customize the color that represents bullish trends on the chart. The default setting is green, a color commonly associated with upward market movement. However, traders can adjust this to any color that suits their visual preferences or matches their overall chart theme.
2. **Bearish Color (Default: Red RGB: 245, 0, 0):**
- The bearish color input determines the color of the line when the market is trending downwards. The default setting is a vivid red, signaling caution or selling opportunities. Like the bullish color, this can be customized to fit the trader’s needs.
3. **Line Thickness (Default: 5):**
- This setting controls the thickness of the line plotted by the indicator. The default thickness of 5 makes the line prominent on the chart, ensuring that the trend is easily visible even in complex or crowded chart setups. Traders can adjust the thickness to make the line thinner or thicker, depending on their visual preferences.
4. **Primary SMA Period (Value 1 - Default: 14):**
- The primary SMA period defines how many periods (e.g., days, hours) are used to calculate the moving average based on the asset’s closing prices. The default period of 14 is a balanced setting that offers a good mix of responsiveness and stability, but traders can adjust this depending on their trading style:
- **Shorter Periods (e.g., 5-10):** These make the indicator more sensitive, capturing trends more quickly but also increasing the likelihood of reacting to short-term price fluctuations or "noise."
- **Longer Periods (e.g., 20-50):** These smooth the data more, providing a more stable trend line that is less prone to whipsaws but may be slower to respond to trend changes.
5. **Smoothing SMA Period (Value 2 - Default: 50):**
- The smoothing SMA period determines how much the primary SMA is smoothed. A longer smoothing period results in a more gradual, stable line that focuses on the broader trend. The default of 50 is designed to smooth out most of the short-term fluctuations while still being responsive enough to detect significant trend shifts.
- **Customization:**
- **Shorter Smoothing Periods (e.g., 20-30):** Make the indicator more responsive, better for fast-moving markets or for traders who want to capture quick trends.
- **Longer Smoothing Periods (e.g., 70-100):** Enhance stability, ideal for long-term traders looking to avoid reacting to minor price movements.
#### Unique Characteristics and Advantages
1. **Simplicity and Clarity:**
- The Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator’s design prioritizes simplicity without sacrificing effectiveness. By relying on the widely understood SMA, it avoids the complexity of more esoteric indicators while still providing reliable trend signals. This simplicity makes it accessible to traders of all levels, from novices who are just learning about technical analysis to experienced traders looking for a straightforward, dependable tool.
2. **Visual Feedback Mechanism:**
- The indicator’s use of color to signify market trends is a particularly powerful feature. This visual feedback mechanism allows traders to assess market conditions at a glance. The clarity of the green and red color scheme reduces the mental effort required to interpret the indicator, freeing the trader to focus on strategy execution.
3. **Adaptability Across Markets and Timeframes:**
- One of the strengths of the Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator is its versatility. The basic principles of moving averages apply equally well across different asset classes and timeframes. Whether trading stocks, forex, commodities, or cryptocurrencies, traders can use this indicator to gain insights into market trends.
- **Intraday Trading:** For day traders who operate on short timeframes (e.g., 1-minute, 5-minute charts), the oscillator can be adjusted to be more responsive, capturing quick shifts in momentum.
- **Swing Trading:** Swing traders, who typically hold positions for several days to weeks, will find the default settings or slightly adjusted periods ideal for identifying and riding medium-term trends.
- **Long-Term Trading:** Position traders and investors can adjust the indicator to focus on long-term trends by increasing the periods for both the primary and smoothing SMAs, filtering out minor fluctuations and highlighting sustained market movements.
4. **Minimal Lag:**
- One of the challenges with moving averages is lag—the delay between when the price changes and when the indicator reflects this change. The Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator addresses this by allowing traders to adjust the periods to find a balance between responsiveness and stability. While all SMAs inherently have some lag, the customizable nature of this indicator helps traders mitigate this effect to align with their specific trading goals.
5. **Customizable and Intuitive:**
- While many technical indicators come with a fixed set of parameters, the Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator is fully customizable, allowing traders to tailor it to their trading style, market conditions, and personal preferences. This makes it a highly flexible tool that can be adjusted as markets evolve or as a trader’s strategy changes over time.
#### Practical Applications for Different Trader Profiles
1. **Day Traders:**
- **Use Case:** Day traders can customize the SMA periods to create a faster, more responsive indicator. This allows them to capture short-term trends and make quick decisions. For example, reducing the primary SMA to 5 and the smoothing SMA to 20 can help day traders react promptly to intraday price movements.
- **Strategy Integration:** Day traders might use the Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator in conjunction with volume-based indicators to confirm the strength of a trend before entering or exiting trades.
2. **Swing Traders:**
- **Use Case:** Swing traders can use the default settings or slightly adjust them to smooth out minor price fluctuations while still capturing medium-term trends. This approach helps in identifying the optimal points to enter or exit trades based on the broader market direction.
- **Strategy Integration:** Swing traders can combine this indicator with oscillators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to confirm overbought or oversold conditions, thereby refining their entry and exit strategies.
3. **Position Traders:**
- **Use Case:** Position traders, who hold trades for extended periods, can extend the SMA periods to focus on long-term trends. By doing so, they minimize the impact of short-term market noise and focus on the underlying trend.
- **Strategy Integration:** Position traders might use the Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator in combination with fundamental analysis. The indicator can help confirm the timing of entries and exits based on broader economic or corporate developments.

#### Combining the Indicator with Other Tools
1. **Relative Strength Index (RSI):**
- The RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. When combined with the Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator, traders can look for instances where the RSI shows divergence from the price while the oscillator confirms the trend. This can be a powerful signal of an impending reversal or continuation.
2. **Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD):**
- The MACD is another popular trend-following momentum indicator. By using it alongside the Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator, traders can confirm the strength of a trend and identify potential entry and exit points with greater confidence. For example, a bullish crossover on the MACD that coincides with the Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator turning green can be a strong buy signal.
3. **Volume Indicators:**
- Volume is often considered the fuel behind price movements. Using volume indicators like the On-Balance Volume (OBV) or Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) in conjunction with the Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator can help traders confirm the validity of a trend. A trend identified by the oscillator that is supported by increasing volume is typically more reliable.
4. **Fibonacci Retracement:**
- Fibonacci retracement levels are used to identify potential reversal levels in a trending market. When the Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator indicates a trend, traders can use Fibonacci retracement levels to find potential entry points that align with the broader trend direction.
#### Implementation in Different Market Conditions
1. **Trending Markets:**
- The Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator excels in trending markets, where it provides clear signals on the direction of the trend. In a strong uptrend, the line will remain green, helping traders stay in the trade for longer periods. In a downtrend, the red line will signal the continuation of bearish conditions, prompting traders to stay short or avoid long positions.
2. **Sideways or Range-Bound Markets:**
- In range-bound markets, where price oscillates within a confined range without a clear trend, the Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator may produce more frequent changes in color. While this could indicate potential reversals at the range boundaries, traders should be cautious of false signals. It may be beneficial to pair the oscillator with a volatility indicator to better navigate such conditions.
3. **Volatile Markets:**
- In highly volatile markets, where prices can swing rapidly, the sensitivity of the Uptrick: Trend SMA Oscillator can be adjusted by modifying the SMA periods. A shorter SMA period might capture quick trends, but traders should be aware of the increased risk of whipsaws. Combining the oscillator with a volatility filter or using it in a higher time frame might help mitigate some of this risk.

Trend Strength | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing the new Trend Strength indicator! Latest trends and their strengths play an important role for traders. This indicator aims to make trend and strength detection much easier by coloring candlesticks based on the current strength of trend. More info about the process in the "How Does It Work" section.
Features of the new Trend Strength Indicator :
3 Trend Detection Algorithms Combined (RSI, Supertrend & EMA Cross)
Fully Customizable Algorithm
Strength Labels
Customizable Colors For Bullish, Neutral & Bearish Trends
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
This indicator uses three different methods of trend detection and combines them all into one value. First, the RSI is calculated. The RSI outputs a value between 0 & 100, which this indicator maps into -100 <-> 100. Let this value be named RSI. Then, the Supertrend is calculated. Let SPR be -1 if the calculated Supertrend is bearish, and 1 if it's bullish. After that, latest EMA Cross is calculated. This is done by checking the distance between the two EMA's adjusted by the user. Let EMADiff = EMA1 - EMA2. Then EMADiff is mapped from -ATR * 2 <-> ATR * 2 to -100 <-> 100.
Then a Total Strength (TS) is calculated by given formula : RSI * 0.5 + SPR * 0.2 + EMADiff * 0.3
The TS value is between -100 <-> 100, -100 being fully bearish, 0 being true neutral and 100 being fully bullish.
Then the Total Strength is converted into a color adjusted by the user. The candlesticks in the chart will be presented with the calculated color.
If the Labels setting is enabled, each time the trend changes direction a label will appear indicating the new direction. The latest candlestick will always show the current trend with a label.
EMA = Exponential Moving Average
RSI = Relative Strength Index
ATR = Average True Range
🚩 UNIQUENESS
The main point that differentiates this indicator from others is it's simplicity and customization options. The indicator interprets trend and strength detection in it's own way, combining 3 different well-known trend detection methods: RSI, Supertrend & EMA Cross into one simple method. The algorithm is fully customizable and all styling options are adjustable for the user's liking.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Detection Length -> This setting determines the amount of candlesticks the indicator will look for trend detection. Higher settings may help the indicator find longer trends, while lower settings will help with finding smaller trends.
Smoothing -> Higher settings will result in longer periods of time required for trend to change direction from bullish to bearish and vice versa.
EMA Lengths -> You can enter two EMA Lengths here, the second one must be longer than the first one. When the shorter one crosses under the longer one, this will be a bearish sign, and if it crosses above it will be a bullish sign for the indicator.
Labels -> Enables / Disables trend strength labels.

Trend Spotter v1Trend Spotter - Advanced Trend and Momentum Trading Strategy
Overview:
Trend Spotter is an advanced trading script designed to help traders identify high-probability buy and sell opportunities in the market. This closed-source script combines trend detection and momentum analysis to deliver reliable and actionable trading signals.
How It Works:
Trend Spotter integrates two powerful technical indicators: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the Stochastic Relative Strength Index (StochRSI). These indicators are known for their effectiveness in identifying market trends and momentum shifts, respectively.
MACD Component: The MACD indicator is used to determine the strength and direction of a trend. By calculating the difference between a fast and a slow exponential moving average (EMA) of the asset’s price, the MACD helps to identify changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend. This script uses optimized settings for MACD to filter out market noise and focus on significant trends.
StochRSI Enhancement: The StochRSI is an oscillator that applies the Stochastic formula to the Relative Strength Index (RSI) values, making it a more sensitive indicator for detecting overbought and oversold conditions. StochRSI provides early signals of potential trend reversals, adding an extra layer of precision to the MACD signals.
Signal Generation Logic:
Trend Spotter generates buy and sell signals based on a combination of MACD crossovers and StochRSI levels:
Buy Signal: A buy signal is triggered when the MACD line crosses above the signal line, indicating a potential bullish trend, and the StochRSI confirms rising momentum.
Sell Signal: A sell signal occurs when the MACD line crosses below the signal line, indicating a potential bearish trend, and the StochRSI confirms falling momentum.
How to Use the Script:
Apply to Chart: Add Trend Spotter to any asset’s chart. It is best suited for time frames of 1-hour or higher.
Interpret Signals: Look for green arrows below the bars for buy signals and red arrows above the bars for sell signals.
Risk Management: Use stop-loss and take-profit levels to manage risk, ideally based on the asset’s volatility.
Unique Features:
Adaptive Settings: Trend Spotter adjusts its sensitivity based on historical volatility and market conditions, ensuring that the signals remain relevant across different market environments.
Visual and Audible Alerts: Traders receive clear visual signals on the chart and optional audible alerts when a buy or sell condition is met, ensuring that no trading opportunity is missed.
Conclusion:
Trend Spotter provides traders with a robust tool for trend and momentum analysis, combining the strengths of MACD and StochRSI to generate high-quality trading signals. This script is ideal for traders looking for a reliable method to identify entry and exit points in various market conditions.
Disclaimer:
While Trend Spotter has been backtested and optimized for performance, it is important to use it as part of a comprehensive trading strategy. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and traders should practice proper risk management when using this tool.
