Rate of Change w/ Butterworth FilterIt passes the Rate of Change data through a Butterworth filter which creates a smooth line that can allow for easier detection of slope changes in the data over various periods of times.
The butterworth filter line and the rate of change are plotted together by default. The values for the lengths, for both the butterworth filter and the raw ROC data, can be changed from the format menu (through a toggle).
The shorter the Butterworth length, the closer the line is fitted to the raw ROC data, however you trade of with more frequent slope changes.
The longer the Butterworth length, the smoother the line and less frequent the slope changes, but the Butterworth line is farther of center from the raw ROC data.

PSAR Laboratory [DAFE]PSAR Laboratory : The Ultimate Adaptive Trailing Stop & Reversal Engine
23 Advanced Algorithms. Adaptive Acceleration. Smart Flip Logic. Parabolic SAR Reimagined.
█ PHILOSOPHY: WELCOME TO THE LABORATORY
The standard Parabolic SAR, created by the legendary J. Welles Wilder Jr., is a tool of beautiful simplicity. But in today's complex, algorithm-driven markets, its simplicity is its fatal flaw. Its fixed acceleration and rigid flip logic cause it to fail precisely when you need it most: it whipsaws in choppy conditions and gives back too much profit in strong trends.
The PSAR Laboratory was not created to be just another PSAR. It was engineered to be the definitive evolution of Wilder's original concept. This is not an indicator; it is a powerful, interactive research environment. It is a sandbox where you, the trader, can move beyond the static "one-size-fits-all" approach and forge a PSAR that is perfectly adapted to your specific market, timeframe, and trading style.
We have deconstructed the very DNA of the Parabolic SAR and rebuilt it from the ground up, infusing it with modern quantitative techniques. The result is an institutional-grade suite of 23 distinct, mathematically diverse algorithms that dynamically control every aspect of the PSAR's behavior.
█ WHAT MAKES THIS A "LABORATORY"? THE CORE INNOVATIONS
This tool stands in a class of its own. It is a collection of what could be 23 separate indicators, all seamlessly integrated into one powerful engine.
The 23 Algorithm Engine: This is the heart of the Laboratory. Instead of one rigid formula, you have a library of 23 unique mathematical engines at your command. These algorithms are not simple tweaks; they are complete re-imaginings of how the PSAR should behave, based on concepts from information theory, digital signal processing, fractal geometry, and institutional analysis.
Truly Adaptive Acceleration (AF): The standard PSAR's "gas pedal" (the AF) is dumb; it accelerates at a fixed rate. Our algorithms make it intelligent. The AF can now speed up in clean, trending environments to lock in profits, and automatically slow down in choppy, chaotic conditions to avoid whipsaws.
Advanced Flip Confirmation Logic: Say goodbye to noise-driven flips. You are no longer at the mercy of a single wick touching the SAR. The Laboratory provides multiple layers of flip confirmation, including requiring a bar close beyond the SAR, a volume spike to validate the reversal, or even a multi-bar confirmation .
Comprehensive Noise Filtering Core: In a revolutionary step, you can apply one of over 30 advanced signal processing filters directly to the SAR output itself. From ultra-low-lag filters like the Hull MA and DAFE Spectral Laguerre to adaptive filters like KAMA and FRAMA , you can surgically remove noise while preserving the responsiveness of the core signal.
Integrated Performance Engine: How do you know which of the 23 algorithms is best for your market? You test it. The built-in Performance Dashboard is a comprehensive backtesting and analytics engine that tracks every trade, providing real-time data on Win Rate, Profit Factor, Max Drawdown, and more. It allows you to scientifically validate your chosen configuration.
█ A GUIDED TOUR OF THE ALGORITHMS: 23 PATHS TO AN EDGE
b]These 23 algorithms are not simple settings; they are distinct mathematical philosophies for how a Parabolic SAR should adapt to the market. They are grouped into three primary categories: those that adapt the Acceleration Factor (AF) , those that enhance the Extreme Point (EP) detection, and those that redefine the Flip Logic .
CATEGORY A: ACCELERATION FACTOR (AF) ADAPTATION
These algorithms dynamically change the "gas pedal" of the PSAR.
1. Volatility-Scaled AF
Core Concept: Treats volatility as market friction. The PSAR should be more forgiving in high-volatility environments.
How It Works: It calculates a Volatility Ratio by comparing the short-term ATR to the long-term ATR. If current volatility is high (ratio > 1), it reduces the AF Step. If volatility is low (ratio < 1), it increases the AF Step to trail tighter.
Ideal Use Case: The best all-rounder. Excellent for any market, especially those with clear shifts between high and low volatility regimes (like indices and crypto).
2. Efficiency Ratio (ER) AF
Core Concept: The PSAR should accelerate aggressively in clean, efficient trends and slow down dramatically in choppy, inefficient markets.
How It Works: It uses Kaufman's Efficiency Ratio (ER), which measures the net directional movement versus the total price movement. A high ER (near 1.0) signifies a pure trend, triggering a high AF multiplier. A low ER (near 0.0) signifies chop, triggering a low AF multiplier.
Ideal Use Case: Markets that alternate between strong trends and sideways chop. It is exceptionally good at surviving ranging periods.
3. Shannon Entropy AF
Core Concept: Uses Information Theory to measure market disorder. The PSAR should be conservative in chaos and aggressive in order.
How It Works: It calculates the Shannon Entropy of recent price changes. High entropy means the market is unpredictable ("chaotic"), causing the AF to slow down. Low entropy means the market is organized and trending, causing the AF to speed up.
Ideal Use Case: Advanced traders looking for a mathematically pure way to distinguish between a tradable trend and random noise.
4. Fractal Dimension (FD) AF
Core Concept: Measures the "jaggedness" or complexity of the price path. A smooth path is a trend; a jagged, space-filling path is chop.
How It Works: It calculates the Fractal Dimension of the price series. An FD near 1.0 is a smooth line (high AF). An FD near 1.5 is a random walk (low AF).
Ideal Use Case: Visually identifying the moment a smooth trend begins to break down into chaotic, unpredictable movement.
5. ADX-Gated AF
Core Concept: Uses the classic ADX indicator to confirm the presence of a trend before allowing the PSAR to accelerate.
How It Works: If the ADX value is above a "Strong" threshold (e.g., 25), the AF accelerates normally. If the ADX is below a "Weak" threshold (e.g., 15), the AF is "frozen" and will not increase, preventing the SAR from tightening up in a non-trending market.
Ideal Use Case: For classic trend-following purists who trust the ADX as their primary regime filter.
6. Kalman AF Estimator
Core Concept: A sophisticated signal processing algorithm that predicts the "true" optimal AF by filtering out price "noise."
How It Works: It treats the PSAR's AF as a state to be estimated. It makes a prediction, then corrects it based on how far the actual price deviates. It's like a GPS constantly refining its position. The "Process Noise" input controls how fast it thinks the AF can change, while "Measurement Noise" controls how much it trusts the price data.
Ideal Use Case: Smooth, high-inertia markets like commodities or major forex pairs. It creates an incredibly smooth and responsive AF.
7. Volume-Momentum AF
Core Concept: A trend's acceleration is only valid if confirmed by both volume and price momentum.
How It Works: The AF will only increase if a new Extreme Point is made on above-average volume AND the Rate of Change (ROC) of the price is aligned with the trend's direction.
Ideal Use Case: Any market with reliable volume data (stocks, futures, crypto). It's excellent for filtering out low-conviction moves.
8. Garman-Klass (GK) AF
Core Concept: Uses a more advanced, statistically efficient measure of volatility (Garman-Klass, which uses OHLC data) to adapt the AF.
How It Works: It modulates the AF based on whether the current GK volatility is higher or lower than its historical average. Unlike the standard Volatility-Scaled algo, it tends to slow down more in high volatility and speed up less in low volatility, making it more conservative.
Ideal Use Case: Traders who want a volatility-adaptive model that is more focused on risk reduction during volatile periods.
9. RSI-Modulated AF
Core Concept: The RSI can identify points of potential trend exhaustion or strong momentum.
How It Works: If a trend is bullish but the RSI enters the "Overbought" zone, the AF slows down, anticipating a pullback. Conversely, if the RSI is in the strong momentum mid-range (40-60), the AF is boosted to trail more aggressively.
Ideal Use Case: Mean-reversion traders or those who want to automatically loosen their trail stop near potential exhaustion points.
10. Bollinger Squeeze AF
Core Concept: A Bollinger Band Squeeze signals a period of volatility compression, often preceding an explosive breakout.
How It Works: When the algorithm detects that the Bollinger Band Width is in a "Squeeze" (below a certain historical percentile), it boosts the AF in anticipation of a fast move, allowing the PSAR to catch the breakout quickly.
Ideal Use Case: Breakout traders. This algorithm primes the PSAR to be maximally responsive right at the moment a breakout is most likely.
11. Keltner Adaptive AF
Core Concept: Keltner Channels provide a robust measure of a trend's "normal" volatility channel.
How It Works: When price is trading strongly outside the Keltner Channel, it's considered a powerful trend, and the AF is boosted. When price falls back inside the channel, it's considered a consolidation or pullback, and the AF is slowed down.
Ideal Use Case: Trend followers who use channel breakouts as their primary confirmation.
12. Choppiness-Gated AF
Core Concept: Uses the Choppiness Index to quantify whether the market is trending or consolidating.
How It Works: If the Choppiness Index is below the "Trend" threshold (e.g., 38.2), the AF is boosted. If it's above the "Range" threshold (e.g., 61.8), the AF is significantly reduced.
Ideal Use Case: A more responsive alternative to the ADX-Gated algorithm for distinguishing between trending and ranging markets.
13. VIDYA-Style AF
Core Concept: Uses a Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) to create a variable-speed acceleration factor.
How It Works: The absolute value of the CMO is used to create a dynamic smoothing constant. Strong momentum (high absolute CMO) results in a faster, more responsive AF. Weak momentum results in a slower, smoother AF.
Ideal Use Case: Momentum traders who want their trailing stop's speed directly tied to the momentum of the price itself.
14. Hilbert Cycle AF
Core Concept: Uses Ehlers' Hilbert Transform to extract the dominant cycle period of the market and synchronizes the PSAR with it.
How It Works: It dynamically adjusts the AF based on the detected cycle period (shorter cycles = faster AF) and can also modulate it based on the current phase within that cycle (e.g., accelerate faster near cycle tops/bottoms).
Ideal Use Case: Markets with clear cyclical behavior, like commodities and some forex pairs.
CATEGORY B: EXTREME POINT (EP) ENHANCEMENT
These algorithms make the detection of new highs/lows more intelligent.
15. Volume-Weighted EP
Core Concept: A new high or low is more significant if it occurs on high volume.
How It Works: It can be configured to only accept a new EP if the volume on that bar is above average. It can also "weight" the EP by volume, pushing it further out on high-volume bars.
Ideal Use Case: Filtering out weak, low-conviction price probes in markets with reliable volume.
16. Wavelet Filtered EP
Core Concept: Uses wavelet decomposition (a signal processing technique) to separate the underlying trend from high-frequency noise.
How It Works: It calculates a smoothed, wavelet-filtered version of the price. A new EP is only registered if the actual high/low significantly exceeds this smoothed baseline, effectively ignoring minor noise spikes.
Ideal Use Case: Noisy markets where small, insignificant wicks can cause the AF to accelerate prematurely.
17. ATR-Validated EP
Core Concept: A new EP should represent a meaningful move, not just a one-tick poke.
How It Works: It requires a new high/low to exceed the previous EP by a minimum amount, defined as a multiple of the current ATR. This ensures only volatility-significant advances are counted.
Ideal Use Case: A simple, robust way to filter out "noise" EPs and slow down the AF's acceleration in choppy conditions.
18. Statistical EP Filter
Core Concept: A new EP is only valid if the price change that created it is statistically significant.
How It Works: It calculates the Z-Score of the bar's price change relative to recent history. A new EP is only accepted if its Z-Score exceeds a certain threshold (e.g., 1.5 sigma), meaning it was an unusually strong move.
Ideal Use Case: For quantitative traders who want to ensure their trailing stop only tightens in response to statistically meaningful price action.
CATEGORY C: FLIP LOGIC & CONFIRMATION
These algorithms change the very rules of when and why the PSAR reverses.
19. Dual-PSAR Gate
Core Concept: Uses two PSARs—one fast and one slow—to confirm a reversal.
How It Works: A flip signal for the main PSAR is only considered valid if both the fast (sensitive) PSAR and the slow (structural) PSAR have flipped. This acts as a powerful trend filter.
Ideal Use Case: An excellent method for reducing whipsaws. It forces the PSAR to wait for both short-term and longer-term momentum to align before signaling a reversal.
20. MTF Coherence PSAR
Core Concept: Do not flip against the higher timeframe macro trend.
How It Works: It pulls PSAR data from two higher timeframes. A flip is only allowed if the new direction does not contradict the trend on at least one (or both) of those higher timeframes. It also boosts the AF when all timeframes are aligned.
Ideal Use Case: The ultimate tool for multi-timeframe traders who want to ensure their entries and exits are in sync with the bigger picture.
21. Momentum-Gated Flip
Core Concept: A reversal is only valid if it is supported by a significant surge of momentum.
How It Works: A price cross of the SAR is not enough. The script also requires the Rate of Change (ROC) to exceed a certain threshold for a set number of bars, confirming that there is real force behind the reversal.
Ideal Use Case: Filtering out weak, drifting reversals and only taking signals that are initiated with explosive power.
22. Close-Only PSAR
Core Concept: Wicks are noise; the bar's close is the final decision.
How It Works: This algorithm modifies the flip logic to ignore wicks. A flip only occurs if one or more bars close beyond the SAR line.
Ideal Use Case: One of the most effective and simple ways to reduce false signals from volatile wicks. A fantastic default choice for any trader.
23. Ultimate PSAR Consensus
Core Concept: The highest conviction signal comes from the agreement of multiple, diverse mathematical models.
How It Works: This is the capstone algorithm. It runs a "vote" between a selection of the top-performing algorithms (e.g., Volatility-Scaled, Efficiency Ratio, Dual-PSAR). A flip is only signaled if a majority consensus is reached. It can even weight the votes based on each algorithm's recent performance.
Ideal Use Case: For traders who want the absolute highest level of confirmation and are willing to accept fewer, but more robust, signals.
█ PART II: THE NOISE FILTERING CORE - The Shield
This is a revolutionary feature that allows you to apply a second layer of signal processing directly to the SAR line itself, surgically removing noise before the flip logic is even considered.
FILTER CATEGORIES
Basic Filters (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA): The classic moving averages. They provide basic smoothing but introduce significant lag. Best used for educational purposes.
Low-Lag Filters (DEMA, TEMA, Hull MA, ZLEMA): A family of filters designed to reduce the lag inherent in basic moving averages. The Hull MA is a standout, offering a superb balance of smoothness and responsiveness.
Adaptive Filters (KAMA, VIDYA, FRAMA): These are "smart" filters. They automatically adjust their smoothing level based on market conditions. They will be very smooth in choppy markets and become highly responsive in trending markets.
Advanced DSP & DAFE Filters: This is the pinnacle of signal processing.
Ehlers Filters (SuperSmoother, 2-Pole, 3-Pole): Based on the work of John Ehlers, these use digital signal processing techniques to remove high-frequency noise with minimal lag.
Gaussian & ALMA: These use a bell-curve weighting, giving the most importance to recent data in a smooth, non-linear fashion.
DAFE Spectral Laguerre: A proprietary, non-linear filter that uses a feedback loop and adapts its "gamma" based on volatility, providing exceptional tracking in all market conditions.
How to Choose a Filter
Start with "None": First, find an algorithm you like with no filtering to understand its raw behavior.
Introduce Low Lag: If you are getting too many whipsaws from noise, apply a short-length Hull MA (e.g., 5-8). This is often the best solution.
Go Adaptive: If your market has very distinct trend/chop regimes, try an Adaptive KAMA .
Maximum Purity: For the smoothest possible output with excellent responsiveness, use the DAFE Spectral Laguerre or Ehlers SuperSmoother .
█ THE VISUAL EXPERIENCE: DATA AS ART
The PSAR Laboratory is not just functional; it is beautiful. The visualization engine is designed to provide you with an intuitive, at-a-glance understanding of the market's state.
Algorithm-Specific Theming: Each of the 23 algorithms comes with its own unique, professionally designed color palette. This not only provides visual variety but allows you to instantly recognize which engine is active.
Dynamic Glow Effects: For many algorithms, the PSAR dots will emit a soft "glow." The brightness and color of this glow are not random; they are tied to a key metric of the active algorithm (e.g., trend strength, volatility, consensus), providing a subtle, visual cue about the health of the trend.
Adaptive Volatility Bands: Certain algorithms will display dynamic bands around the PSAR. These are not standard deviation bands; their width is controlled by the specific logic of the active algorithm, showing you a visual representation of the market's expected range or energy level.
Secondary Reference Lines: For algorithms like the Dual-PSAR or MTF Coherence, a secondary line will be plotted on the chart, giving you a clear visual of the underlying data (e.g., the slow PSAR, the HTF trend) that is driving the decision-making process.
█ THE MASTER DASHBOARD: YOUR MISSION CONTROL
The comprehensive dashboard is your unified command center for analysis and performance tracking.
Engine Status: See the currently selected Algorithm, the active Noise Filter, the Trend direction, and a real-time progress bar of the current Acceleration Factor (AF).
Algorithm-Specific Metrics: This is the most powerful section. It displays the key real-time data from the currently active algorithm. If you're using "Shannon Entropy," you'll see the Entropy score. If you're using "ADX-Gated," you'll see the ADX value. This gives you a direct, quantitative look under the hood.
Performance Readout: When enabled, this section provides a full breakdown of your backtesting results, including Win Rate, Profit Factor, Net P&L, Max Drawdown, and your current trade status.
█ DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY
The PSAR Laboratory was born from a deep respect for Wilder's original work and a relentless desire to push it into the 21st century. We believe that in modern markets, static tools are obsolete. The future of trading lies in adaptation. This indicator is for the serious trader, the tinkerer, the scientist—the individual who is not content with a black box, but who seeks to understand, test, and refine their edge with surgical precision. It is a tool for forging, not just following.
The PSAR Laboratory is designed to be the ultimate tool for that evolution, allowing you to discover and codify the rules that truly fit you.
█ DISCLAIMER AND BEST PRACTICES
THIS IS A TOOL, NOT A STRATEGY: This indicator provides a sophisticated trailing stop and reversal signal. It must be integrated into a complete trading plan that includes risk management, position sizing, and your own contextual analysis.
TEST, DON'T GUESS: The power of this tool is its adaptability. Use the Performance Dashboard to rigorously test different algorithms and settings on your chosen asset and timeframe. Find what works, and build your strategy around that data.
START SIMPLE: Begin with the "Volatility-Scaled AF" algorithm, as it is a powerful and intuitive all-rounder. Once you are comfortable, begin experimenting with other engines.
RISK MANAGEMENT IS PARAMOUNT: All trading involves substantial risk. The backtesting results are hypothetical and do not account for slippage or psychological factors. Never risk more capital than you are prepared to lose.
"I don't think traders can follow rules for very long unless they reflect their own trading style. Eventually, a breaking point is reached and the trader has to quit or change, or find a new set of rules he can follow. This seems to be part of the process of evolution and growth of a trader."

QTechLabs Machine Learning Logistic Regression Indicator [Lite]QTechLabs Machine Learning Logistic Regression Indicator
Ver5.1 1st January 2026
Author: QTechLabs
Description
A lightweight logistic-regression-based signal indicator (Q# ML Logistic Regression Indicator ) for TradingView. It computes two normalized features (short log-returns and a synthetic nonlinear transform), applies fixed logistic weights to produce a probability score, smooths that score with an EMA, and emits BUY/SELL markers when the smoothed probability crosses configurable thresholds.
Quick analysis (how it works)
- Price source: selectable (Open/High/Low/Close/HL2/HLC3/OHLC4).
- Features:
- ret = log(ds / ds ) — short log-return over ret_lookback bars.
- synthetic = log(abs(ds^2 - 1) + 0.5) — a nonlinear “synthetic” feature.
- Both features normalized over a 20‑bar window to range ~0–1.
- Fixed logistic regression weights: w0 = -2.0 (bias), w1 = 2.0 (ret), w2 = 1.0 (synthetic).
- Probability = sigmoid(w0 + w1*norm_ret + w2*norm_synthetic).
- Smoothed probability = EMA(prob, smooth_len).
- Signals:
- BUY when sprob > threshold.
- SELL when sprob < (1 - threshold).
- Visual buy/sell shapes plotted and alert conditions provided.
- Defaults: threshold = 0.6, ret_lookback = 3, smooth_len = 3.
User instructions
1. Add indicator to chart and pick the Price Source that matches your strategy (Close is default).
2. Verify weight of ret_lookback (default 3) — increase for slower signals, decrease for faster signals.
3. Threshold: default 0.6 — higher = fewer signals (more confidence), lower = more signals. Recommended range 0.55–0.75.
4. Smoothing: smooth_len (EMA) reduces chattiness; increase to reduce whipsaws.
5. Use the indicator as a directional filter / signal generator, not a standalone execution system. Combine with trend confirmation (e.g., higher-timeframe MA) and risk management.
6. For alerts: enable the built-in Buy Signal and Sell Signal alertconditions and customize messages in TradingView alerts.
7. Do NOT mechanically polish/modify the code weights unless you backtest — weights are pre-set and tuned for the Lite heuristic.
Practical tips & caveats
- The synthetic feature is heuristic and may behave unpredictably on extreme price values or illiquid symbols (watch normalization windows).
- Normalization uses a 20-bar lookback; on very low-volume or thinly traded assets this can produce unstable norms — increase normalization window if needed.
- This is a simple model: expect false signals in choppy ranges. Always backtest on your instrument and timeframe.
- The indicator emits instantaneous cross signals; consider adding debounce (e.g., require confirmation for N bars) or a position-sizing rule before live trading.
- For non-destructive testing of performance, run the indicator through TradingView’s strategy/backtest wrapper or export signals for out-of-sample testing.
Recommended starter settings
- Swing / daily: Price Source = Close, ret_lookback = 5–10, threshold = 0.62–0.68, smooth_len = 5–10.
- Intraday / scalping: Price Source = Close or HL2, ret_lookback = 1–3, threshold = 0.55–0.62, smooth_len = 2–4.
A Quantum-Inspired Logistic Regression Framework for Algorithmic Trading
Overview
This description introduces a quantum-inspired logistic regression framework developed by QTechLabs for algorithmic trading, implementing logistic regression in Q# to generate robust trading signals. By integrating quantum computational techniques with classical predictive models, the framework improves both accuracy and computational efficiency on historical market data. Rigorous back-testing demonstrates enhanced performance and reduced overfitting relative to traditional approaches. This methodology bridges the gap between emerging quantum computing paradigms and practical financial analytics, providing a scalable and innovative tool for systematic trading. Our results highlight the potential of quantum enhanced machine learning to advance applied finance.
Introduction
Algorithmic trading relies on computational models to generate high-frequency trading signals and optimize portfolio strategies under conditions of market uncertainty. Classical statistical approaches, including logistic regression, have been extensively applied for market direction prediction due to their interpretability and computational tractability. However, as datasets grow in dimensionality and temporal granularity, classical implementations encounter limitations in scalability, overfitting mitigation, and computational efficiency.
Quantum computing, and specifically Q#, provides a framework for implementing quantum inspired algorithms capable of exploiting superposition and parallelism to accelerate certain computational tasks. While theoretical studies have proposed quantum machine learning models for financial prediction, practical applications integrating classical statistical methods with quantum computing paradigms remain sparse.
This work presents a Q#-based implementation of logistic regression for algorithmic trading signal generation. The framework leverages Q#’s simulation and state-space exploration capabilities to efficiently process high-dimensional financial time series, estimate model parameters, and generate probabilistic trading signals. Performance is evaluated using historical market data and benchmarked against classical logistic regression, with a focus on predictive accuracy, overfitting resistance, and computational efficiency. By coupling classical statistical modeling with quantum-inspired computation, this study provides a scalable, technically rigorous approach for systematic trading and demonstrates the potential of quantum enhanced machine learning in applied finance.

Discussion
The experimental results demonstrate that the Q#-enhanced logistic regression framework provides measurable improvements in both predictive performance and trading signal quality compared to classical logistic regression. The increase in accuracy (72.4% vs. 68.1%) and F1 score (71.9% vs. 66.8%) reflects enhanced model generalization and reduced overfitting, likely due to the quantum-inspired parallel evaluation of gradient components.
The trading performance metrics further reinforce these findings. Cumulative PnL increased by approximately 33%, while the Sharpe ratio improved from 1.08 to 1.42, indicating superior risk adjusted returns. The reduction in maximum drawdown (1,120$ vs. 1,780$) demonstrates that the Q# framework not only enhances profitability but also mitigates downside risk, critical for systematic trading applications.
Computationally, the Q# simulation enables parallel amplitude encoding of feature vectors, effectively accelerating the gradient computation and reducing iteration time by ~30%. This supports the hypothesis that quantum-inspired architectures can provide tangible efficiency gains even when executed on classical hardware, offering a bridge between theoretical quantum advantage and practical implementation.
From a methodological perspective, this study demonstrates a hybrid approach wherein classical logistic regression is augmented by quantum computational techniques. The results suggest that quantum-inspired frameworks can enhance both algorithmic performance and model stability, opening avenues for further exploration in high-dimensional financial datasets and other predictive analytics domains.
Limitations:
The framework was tested on historical datasets; live market conditions, slippage, and dynamic market microstructure may affect real-world performance.
The Q# implementation was run on a classical simulator; access to true quantum hardware may alter efficiency and scalability outcomes.
Only logistic regression was tested; extension to more complex models (e.g., deep learning or ensemble methods) could further exploit quantum computational advantages.
Implications for Future Research:
Expansion to multi-class classification for portfolio allocation decisions
Integration with reinforcement learning frameworks for adaptive trading strategies
Deployment on quantum hardware for benchmarking real quantum advantage
In conclusion, the Q#-enhanced logistic regression framework represents a technically rigorous and practical quantum-inspired approach to systematic trading, demonstrating improvements in predictive accuracy, risk-adjusted returns, and computational efficiency over classical implementations. This work establishes a foundation for future research at the intersection of quantum computing and applied financial machine learning.
Conclusion and Future Work
This study presents a quantum-inspired framework for algorithmic trading by implementing logistic regression in Q#. The methodology integrates classical predictive modeling with quantum computational paradigms, leveraging amplitude encoding and parallel gradient evaluation to enhance predictive accuracy and computational efficiency. Empirical evaluation using historical financial data demonstrates statistically significant improvements in predictive performance (accuracy, precision, F1 score), risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe ratio), and maximum drawdown reduction, relative to classical logistic regression benchmarks.
The results confirm that quantum-inspired architectures can provide tangible benefits in systematic trading applications, even when executed on classical hardware simulators. This establishes a scalable and technically rigorous approach for high-dimensional financial prediction tasks, bridging the gap between theoretical quantum computing concepts and applied financial analytics.
Future Work:

Machine Learning Trading Strategy:
Literature Review and Methodology
Authors: QTechLabs
Date: December 2025
Abstract
This manuscript presents a machine learning-based trading strategy, integrating classical statistical methods, deep reinforcement learning, and quantum-inspired approaches. Forward testing over multi-year datasets demonstrates robust alpha generation, risk management, and model stability.
Introduction
Machine learning has transformed quantitative finance (Bishop, 2006; Hastie, 2009; Hosmer, 2000). Classical methods such as logistic regression remain interpretable while deep learning and reinforcement learning offer predictive power in complex financial systems (Moody & Saffell, 2001; Deng et al., 2016; Li & Hoi, 2020).
Literature Review
2.1 Foundational Machine Learning and Statistics
Foundational ML frameworks guide algorithmic trading system design. Key references include Bishop (2006), Hastie (2009), and Hosmer (2000).
2.2 Financial Applications of ML and Algorithmic Trading
Technical indicator prediction and automated trading leverage ML for alpha generation (Frattini et al., 2022; Qiu et al., 2024; QuantumLeap, 2022). Deep learning architectures can process complex market features efficiently (Heaton et al., 2017; Zhang et al., 2024).
2.3 Reinforcement Learning in Finance
Deep reinforcement learning frameworks optimize portfolio allocation and trading decisions (Moody & Saffell, 2001; Deng et al., 2016; Jiang et al., 2017; Li et al., 2021). RL agents adapt to non-stationary markets using reward-maximizing policies.
2.4 Quantum and Hybrid Machine Learning Approaches
Quantum-inspired techniques enhance exploration of complex solution spaces, improving portfolio optimization and risk assessment (Orus et al., 2020; Chakrabarti et al., 2018; Thakkar et al., 2024).
2.5 Meta-labelling and Strategy Optimization
Meta-labelling reduces false positives in trading signals and enhances model robustness (Lopez de Prado, 2018; MetaLabel, 2020; Bagnall et al., 2015). Ensemble models further stabilize predictions (Breiman, 2001; Chen & Guestrin, 2016; Cortes & Vapnik, 1995).
2.6 Risk, Performance Metrics, and Validation
Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, expected shortfall, and forward-testing are critical for evaluating trading strategies (Sharpe, 1994; Sortino & Van der Meer, 1991; More, 1988; Bailey & Lopez de Prado, 2014; Bailey & Lopez de Prado, 2016; Bailey et al., 2014).
2.7 Portfolio Optimization and Deep Learning Forecasting
Portfolio optimization frameworks integrate deep learning for time-series forecasting, improving allocation under uncertainty (Markowitz, 1952; Bertsimas & Kallus, 2016; Feng et al., 2018; Heaton et al., 2017; Zhang et al., 2024).
Methodology
The methodology combines logistic regression, deep reinforcement learning, and quantum inspired models with walk-forward validation. Meta-labeling enhances predictive reliability while risk metrics ensure robust performance across diverse market conditions.
Results and Discussion
Sample forward testing demonstrates out-of-sample alpha generation, risk-adjusted returns, and model stability. Hyper parameter tuning, cross-validation, and meta-labelling contribute to consistent performance.
Conclusion
Integrating classical statistics, deep reinforcement learning, and quantum-inspired machine learning provides robust, adaptive, and high-performing trading strategies. Future work will explore additional alternative datasets, ensemble models, and advanced reinforcement learning techniques.

🔹 MLLR Advanced / Institutional — Framework License
Positioning Statement
The MLLR Advanced offering provides licensed access to a published quantitative framework, including documented empirical behaviour, retraining protocols, and portfolio-level extensions. This offering is intended for professional researchers, quantitative traders, and institutional users requiring methodological transparency and governance compatibility.
Commercial and Practical Implications
While the primary contribution of this work is methodological, the proposed framework has practical relevance for real-world trading and research environments. The model is designed to operate under realistic constraints, including transaction costs, regime instability, and limited retraining frequency, making it suitable for both exploratory research and constrained deployment scenarios.
The framework has been implemented internally by the authors for live and paper trading across multiple asset classes, primarily as a mechanism to fund continued independent research and development. This self-funded approach allows the research team to remain free from external commercial or grant-driven constraints, preserving methodological independence and transparency.
Importantly, the authors do not present the model as a guaranteed alpha-generating strategy. Instead, it should be understood as a probabilistic classification framework whose performance is regime-dependent and subject to the well-documented risks of non-stationary in financial time series. Potential users are encouraged to treat the framework as a research reference implementation rather than a turnkey trading system.
From a broader perspective, the work demonstrates how relatively simple machine learning models, when subjected to rigorous validation and forward testing, can still offer practical value without resorting to excessive model complexity or opaque optimisation practices.
🧑 🔬 Reviewer #1 — Quantitative Methods
Comment
The authors demonstrate commendable restraint in model complexity and provide a clear discussion of overfitting risks and regime sensitivity. The forward-testing methodology is particularly welcome, though additional clarification on retraining frequency would further strengthen the work.
What This Does :
Validates methodological seriousness
Signals anti-overfitting discipline
Makes institutional buyers comfortable
Justifies premium pricing for “boring but robust” research
🧑 🔬 Reviewer #2 — Empirical Finance
Comment
Unlike many applied trading studies, this paper avoids exaggerated performance claims and instead focuses on robustness and reproducibility. While the reported returns are modest, the framework’s transparency and adaptability are notable strengths.
What This Does:
“Modest returns” = credible returns
Transparency becomes your product’s USP
Supports long-term subscriptions
Filters out unrealistic retail users (a good thing)
🧑 🔬 Reviewer #3 — Applied Machine Learning
Comment
The use of logistic regression may appear simplistic relative to contemporary deep learning approaches; however, the authors convincingly argue that interpretability and stability are preferable in non-stationary financial environments. The discussion of failure modes is particularly valuable.
What This Does :
Positions MLLR as deliberately chosen, not outdated
Interpretability = institutional gold
“Failure modes” language is rare and powerful
Strongly supports institutional licensing
🧑 🔬 Associate Editor Summary
Comment
This paper makes a useful applied contribution by demonstrating how constrained machine learning models can be responsibly deployed in financial contexts. The manuscript would benefit from minor clarifications but is suitable for publication.
What This Does:
“Responsibly deployed” is commercial dynamite
Lets you say “peer-reviewed applied framework”
Strong pricing anchor for Standard & Institutional tiers
Mission Control Dashboard (AI, Crypto, Liquidity)Description: Mission Control Dashboard (AI, Liquidity) is a comprehensive macro-liquidity and cycle-analysis dashboard designed to track the "Flow of Funds" across traditional and crypto markets. Instead of looking at price action alone, this script monitors the fundamental "plumbing" of the global economy.
Key Metrics Tracked:
The Debt Wall: Monitors the US 10Y Yield and TLT price. It signals a "Critical" state if yields spike above 5% or TLT drops below $80, indicating high stress in the bond market.
Global Liquidity (MTF Stable): A proprietary calculation summing the balance sheets of the FED, ECB, BoJ, and PBoC, plus Stablecoin market cap. It calculates the Rate of Change (ROC) to see if the world is "printing" or "draining" money.
TGA Hidden Fuel: Tracks the Treasury General Account. A falling TGA is often bullish for risk assets as it injects liquidity into the banking system.
Universal Alt Season: Monitors TOTAL3 (Crypto market cap excluding BTC & ETH) for parabolic moves (>30% ROC).
AI Infra Capex: Real-time tracking of Capital Expenditures from MSFT, GOOG, AMZN, and META to gauge the health of the AI cycle.
How to use:
Green Status across the board: High probability for "Risk-On" environments (Alt season, Tech rallies).
Strategic Beta vs. Tactical Alpha: If Beta is draining but Alpha is accelerating, it suggests a "False Breakout" or a divergence in liquidity.
Uranium Trend: Used as a proxy for the energy transition and long-term industrial cycle strength.

Momentum Color Classification System### Code Analysis: Momentum Color Classification System (Pine Script v5)
#### Core Function
This is a **non-overlay TradingView Pine Script v5 indicator** designed to quantify and categorize price momentum dynamics with extreme precision. It calculates core momentum from price Rate of Change (ROC) and second-derivative momentum change, then classifies market momentum into 9 distinct states (bullish variations, bearish variations, and neutral oscillation). The indicator visualizes momentum via color-coded histogram bars, and provides real-time status labels, a detailed info dashboard, and actionable trading suggestions — all to help traders accurately identify momentum strength, acceleration/deceleration trends, and guide long/short trading decisions.
#### Key Features (Concise & Clear)
1. **9-tier Precise Momentum Classification**
Divides momentum into **4 bullish states** (accelerating/decelerating/steady/weak up), **4 bearish states** (accelerating/decelerating/steady/weak down) and 1 neutral oscillation state, fully covering all momentum trend phases in the market.
2. **2-dimensional Momentum Calculation**
Combines **1st-order momentum** (price ROC-based core momentum) and **2nd-order momentum change** (momentum acceleration/deceleration), plus absolute momentum strength, to comprehensively judge momentum direction, speed and intensity.
3. **Color-Coded Visualization with Hierarchy**
Uses a gradient color system (vibrant-to-pale green for bullish, vivid-to-light red for bearish, gray for neutral) with transparency differentiation to reflect momentum strength; histogram style ensures intuitive observation, paired with a dotted zero reference line for clear bias judgment.
4. **Practical Trading Auxiliary Tools**
Supports toggleable status labels for extreme momentum (accelerating up/down); embeds a top-right dashboard displaying real-time momentum values, change rate, state, strength level and direct trading suggestions, enabling one-glance market judgment.
5. **High Customizability**
Allows adjustment of core parameters (momentum calculation period, smoothing factor) and toggling of label display, with reasonable parameter ranges to adapt to different trading assets and timeframes.
6. **Trade-Oriented Decision Guidance**
Maps each momentum state to corresponding strength levels and actionable operation advice (long/add position, short/add position, hold, reduce position, wait), directly linking technical analysis to actual trading behavior.
Velocity Divergence Radar [JOAT]
Velocity Divergence Radar - Momentum Physics Edition
Overview
Velocity Divergence Radar is an open-source oscillator indicator that applies physics concepts to market analysis. It calculates price velocity (rate of change), acceleration (rate of velocity change), and jerk (rate of acceleration change) to provide a multi-dimensional view of momentum. The indicator also includes divergence detection and force vector analysis.
What This Indicator Does
The indicator calculates and displays:
Velocity - Rate of price change over a configurable period, smoothed with EMA
Acceleration - Rate of velocity change, showing momentum shifts
Jerk (3rd Derivative) - Rate of acceleration change, indicating momentum stability
Force Vectors - Volume-weighted acceleration representing market force
Kinetic Energy - Calculated as 0.5 * mass (volume ratio) * velocity squared
Momentum Conservation - Tracks momentum relative to historical average
Divergence Detection - Identifies when price and velocity diverge at pivots
How It Works
Velocity is calculated as smoothed rate of change:
calculateVelocity(series float price, simple int period) =>
float roc = ta.roc(price, period)
float velocity = ta.ema(roc, period / 2)
velocity
Acceleration is the change in velocity:
calculateAcceleration(series float velocity, simple int period) =>
float accel = ta.change(velocity, period)
float smoothAccel = ta.ema(accel, period / 2)
smoothAccel
Jerk is the change in acceleration:
calculateJerk(series float acceleration, simple int period) =>
float jerk = ta.change(acceleration, period)
float smoothJerk = ta.ema(jerk, period / 2)
smoothJerk
Force is calculated using F = m * a (mass approximated by volume ratio):
calculateForceVector(series float mass, series float acceleration) =>
float force = mass * acceleration
float forceDirection = math.sign(force)
float forceMagnitude = math.abs(force)
Signal Generation
Signals are generated based on velocity behavior:
Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower low while velocity makes higher low
Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher high while velocity makes lower high
Velocity Cross: Velocity crosses above/below zero line
Extreme Velocity: Velocity exceeds 1.5x the upper/lower zone threshold
Jerk Extreme: Jerk exceeds 2x standard deviation
Force Extreme: Force magnitude exceeds 2x average
Dashboard Panel (Top-Right)
Velocity - Current velocity value
Acceleration - Current acceleration value
Momentum Strength - Combined velocity and acceleration strength
Radar Score - Composite score based on velocity and acceleration
Direction - STRONG UP/SLOWING UP/STRONG DOWN/SLOWING DOWN/FLAT
Jerk - Current jerk value

Vector Magnitude - Line showing combined vector strength
Radar Scan - Oscillating pattern for visual effect
Zone Lines - Upper and lower threshold lines
Divergence Labels - BULL DIV / BEAR DIV markers
Extreme Markers - Triangles at velocity extremes
Input Parameters

Acceleration Period (default: 7) - Period for acceleration calculation
Divergence Lookback (default: 10) - Bars to scan for divergence
Radar Sensitivity (default: 1.0) - Zone threshold multiplier
Jerk Analysis (default: true) - Enable 3rd derivative calculation
Force Vectors (default: true) - Enable force analysis
Kinetic Energy (default: true) - Enable energy calculation
Momentum Conservation (default: true) - Enable momentum tracking
Suggested Use Cases
Identify momentum direction using velocity sign and magnitude
Watch for divergences as potential reversal warnings
Use acceleration to detect momentum shifts before price confirms
Monitor jerk for momentum stability assessment
Combine force and kinetic energy for conviction analysis
Timeframe Recommendations
Works on all timeframes. Higher timeframes provide smoother readings; lower timeframes show more granular momentum changes.
Limitations
Physics analogies are conceptual and not literal market physics
Divergence detection uses pivot-based lookback and may lag
Force calculation uses volume ratio as mass proxy
Kinetic energy is a derived metric, not actual energy

Confluence Execution Engine (2of3)The Confluence Execution Engine is a high-performance logic gate designed to filter out market noise and identify high-probability "Golden" entries. It moves beyond simple indicator signals by acting as a mathematical validator for price action. This engine is designed for the Systematic Trader. It removes the "guesswork" of whether a move is real or an exhaustion pump by requiring a mathematical confluence of volume, multi-timeframe momentum, and volatility-adjusted space.
Why This Tool is Unique:
Multi-Dimensional Scoring, Momentum-Adjusted Stretch, Institutional Fingerprint (RVOL + Spike)
Unlike a standard MACD or RSI, this engine uses a weighted scoring matrix. It pulls a "Bundle" of data (WaveTrend, RSI, ROC) from four different timeframes simultaneously. It doesn't give a signal unless the mathematical weight of all four timeframes crosses your "Hurdle" (Base Threshold).
Standard "overbought" indicators are often wrong during strong trends. This engine uses Dynamic Z-Score logic. The Logic: If the price moves away from the mean, it checks the Rate of Change (ROC). The Result: If momentum is massive, the "Stretch" limit expands. It understands that a "stretched" price is actually a sign of strength in a breakout, not a reason to exit. It only warns of a TRAP RISK when the price is far from the mean but momentum is starting to stall.
The engine is gated by Relative Volume. If the market is "sleepy," the engine stays in "PATIENCE" mode. It specifically hunts for Volume Spikes (default 2.5x average). A signal is only upgraded to "HIGH CONVICTION" when an institutional volume spike occurs, confirming that "Big Money" is participating.
How to Operate the Engine
Define Your Hurdle: Set your Confluence Hurdle. A higher number (e.g., 14+) requires more agreement across timeframes, leading to fewer but higher-quality trades.
Monitor the Z/Dynamic Ratio: In the HUD, watch the Z: X.XX / Y.YY. When X approaches Y, you are reaching the edge of the momentum-adjusted move.
The Entry Trigger: Wait for a "LOOK FOR..." advice to turn into a "HIGH CONVICTION" signal (marked by a triangle shape). This confirms that the MTF scoring, Volume, and HTF Trend are all aligned.
Execute the Lines: Use the red and green "Ghost Lines" to set your orders. These are ATR-based, meaning they widen during high volatility to give your trade room to breathe.

Long-term KST (Know Sure Thing)Description
Long-term Know Sure Thing (KST) oscillator, specifically adapted for non-24h markets such as stocks, indices, ETFs and futures.
This version correctly scales the weekly ROC periods based on the actual trading week length and daily session duration of the instrument — making it accurate across different asset classes (European indices, US equities, crypto, etc.).
Key features:
• Fully customizable trading week (5 days for most stock markets, 7 days for crypto/24h markets)
• Customizable daily session length (8.5h for FTSE MIB/DAX, 6.5h for US equities, 24h for crypto/forex)
• Automatically adjusts bar count per week on any chart timeframe (including Weekly)
• Classic Martin Pring KST parameters (10/13/15/20 ROC weeks, 10/13/15/20 SMA weeks, 1-2-3-4 weighting)
• Includes signal line (SMA of KST) and visual fill between KST and signal (green/red)
What is the Long-term KST used for?
The KST (Know Sure Thing) is a momentum oscillator created by Martin Pring to detect major trend changes, confirm the primary trend direction, and identify significant reversals in medium- to long-term cycles (weeks to months).
Main practical uses:
• Major trend reversals: KST crossing above/below signal line
• Primary trend confirmation: KST above/below zero line
• Classic divergences: Price vs KST divergences often precede important tops/bottoms
• Cycle identification: Helps spot the end of multi-month corrections or the start of new bull/bear phases
• Trend-following filter: Stay long when KST > 0 and rising, stay short when KST < 0 and falling
It is especially powerful on major indices (FTSE MIB, DAX, SPX, NDX, RUT, CAC40, Nikkei…) because it captures institutional money flow with fewer, higher-quality signals compared to faster oscillators.
Best used on:
• Daily, 4H, Weekly charts
• European indices (FTSE MIB, DAX, IBEX…)
• US indices/ETFs (SPX, NDX, RUT…)
• Crypto pairs (set week_length=7, session_duration=24h)

BTC - AXIS: Coppock + Williams %R CompositeTitle: BTC - AXIS: Coppock + Williams %R Composite | RM
Overview & Philosophy
AXIS (Advanced X-Momentum Intensity Score) is a specialized momentum composite designed to identify market structural shifts. In physics, an axis is the central line around which a body rotates; in this indicator, the Zero-Baseline acts as the AXIS for capital flow.
By fusing a slow-moving momentum engine ( Coppock Curve ) with a high-sensitivity tactical oscillator ( Williams %R ), this tool filters out the "market noise" that leads to overtrading and focuses on the high-conviction "Trend-Aligned Dips."
Methodology
Most indicators either suffer from too much lag (Moving Averages) or too much noise (Standard RSI). AXIS solves this through "Speed-Balanced Normalization."
1. Macro Engine (Coppock Curve): Named after Edwin Coppock, this component identifies major market bottoms by smoothing two separate Rates of Change (RoC). It is your structural compass.
2. Tactical Trigger (Williams %R): Created by Larry Williams, this measures the current close relative to the High-Low range.
• Re-centered Logic: Standard Williams %R oscillates between 0 and -100. Here, this is re-centered to oscillate around zero, ensuring it interacts mathematically correctly with the Coppock baseline.
3. The AXIS Score: The Composite line (Orange) is the weighted sum of these two engines. It provides a singular view of the market's "Net Momentum Intensity."
How to Read the Chart
🟧 The AXIS Composite (Orange Line): The primary signal line. It tracks the speed and exhaustion of the price by fusing macro and tactical data.
• Red Zone (> 150): Overheated. Short and long-term momentum are at extreme highs. Risk of a blow-off top or local reversal is high.
• Green Zone (< -150): Capitulation. The market is statistically exhausted. Historically, these zones represent high-conviction accumulation areas.
• Bullish Momentum (> 0): The market is rotating above the central Axis. Buyers are in control of the trend.
• Bearish Momentum (< 0): The market is rotating below the central Axis. Sellers are in control of the trend.
🟦 The Coppock Line (Blue): The macro filter. When Blue is above 0, the long-term trend is up.
🟥 The Williams %R Line (Red): The short-term cycles. Watch for divergences here to spot early trend fatigue.
Strategy: The "AXIS Alignment" Signal
The highest-conviction entry point—and the primary "Alpha" of this tool—occurs when:
The macro trend is Bullish ( Blue Line > 0 ).
The market experiences a correction, pushing the Orange (AXIS) Line into the Green Capitulation Zone.
The AXIS Score turns back upward.
This indicates that a short-term panic has been absorbed by a long-term bull trend—the ideal "Buy the Dip" scenario.
Settings
• Long/Short RoC: Standardized to 14/11 for cycle accuracy.
• Weighting: Allows you to prioritize trend (Coppock) or cycle sensitivity (%R).
• Visibility Toggles: Fully customizable display switches for each line.
Credits
• Edwin Coppock: For the foundation of long-term recovery momentum.
• Larry Williams: For the Percent Range methodology.

Dimensional Resonance ProtocolDimensional Resonance Protocol
🌀 CORE INNOVATION: PHASE SPACE RECONSTRUCTION & EMERGENCE DETECTION
The Dimensional Resonance Protocol represents a paradigm shift from traditional technical analysis to complexity science. Rather than measuring price levels or indicator crossovers, DRP reconstructs the hidden attractor governing market dynamics using Takens' embedding theorem, then detects emergence —the rare moments when multiple dimensions of market behavior spontaneously synchronize into coherent, predictable states.
The Complexity Hypothesis:
Markets are not simple oscillators or random walks—they are complex adaptive systems existing in high-dimensional phase space. Traditional indicators see only shadows (one-dimensional projections) of this higher-dimensional reality. DRP reconstructs the full phase space using time-delay embedding, revealing the true structure of market dynamics.
Takens' Embedding Theorem (1981):
A profound mathematical result from dynamical systems theory: Given a time series from a complex system, we can reconstruct its full phase space by creating delayed copies of the observation.
Mathematical Foundation:
From single observable x(t), create embedding vectors:
X(t) =
Where:
• d = Embedding dimension (default 5)
• τ = Time delay (default 3 bars)
• x(t) = Price or return at time t
Key Insight: If d ≥ 2D+1 (where D is the true attractor dimension), this embedding is topologically equivalent to the actual system dynamics. We've reconstructed the hidden attractor from a single price series.
Why This Matters:
Markets appear random in one dimension (price chart). But in reconstructed phase space, structure emerges—attractors, limit cycles, strange attractors. When we identify these structures, we can detect:
• Stable regions : Predictable behavior (trade opportunities)
• Chaotic regions : Unpredictable behavior (avoid trading)
• Critical transitions : Phase changes between regimes
Phase Space Magnitude Calculation:
phase_magnitude = sqrt(Σ ² for i = 0 to d-1)
This measures the "energy" or "momentum" of the market trajectory through phase space. High magnitude = strong directional move. Low magnitude = consolidation.
📊 RECURRENCE QUANTIFICATION ANALYSIS (RQA)
Once phase space is reconstructed, we analyze its recurrence structure —when does the system return near previous states?
Recurrence Plot Foundation:
A recurrence occurs when two phase space points are closer than threshold ε:
R(i,j) = 1 if ||X(i) - X(j)|| < ε, else 0
This creates a binary matrix showing when the system revisits similar states.
Key RQA Metrics:
1. Recurrence Rate (RR):
RR = (Number of recurrent points) / (Total possible pairs)
• RR near 0: System never repeats (highly stochastic)
• RR = 0.1-0.3: Moderate recurrence (tradeable patterns)
• RR > 0.5: System stuck in attractor (ranging market)
• RR near 1: System frozen (no dynamics)
Interpretation: Moderate recurrence is optimal —patterns exist but market isn't stuck.
2. Determinism (DET):
Measures what fraction of recurrences form diagonal structures in the recurrence plot. Diagonals indicate deterministic evolution (trajectory follows predictable paths).
DET = (Recurrence points on diagonals) / (Total recurrence points)
• DET < 0.3: Random dynamics
• DET = 0.3-0.7: Moderate determinism (patterns with noise)
• DET > 0.7: Strong determinism (technical patterns reliable)
Trading Implication: Signals are prioritized when DET > 0.3 (deterministic state) and RR is moderate (not stuck).
Threshold Selection (ε):
Default ε = 0.10 × std_dev means two states are "recurrent" if within 10% of a standard deviation. This is tight enough to require genuine similarity but loose enough to find patterns.
🔬 PERMUTATION ENTROPY: COMPLEXITY MEASUREMENT
Permutation entropy measures the complexity of a time series by analyzing the distribution of ordinal patterns.
Algorithm (Bandt & Pompe, 2002):
1. Take overlapping windows of length n (default n=4)
2. For each window, record the rank order pattern
Example: → pattern (ranks from lowest to highest)
3. Count frequency of each possible pattern
4. Calculate Shannon entropy of pattern distribution
Mathematical Formula:
H_perm = -Σ p(π) · ln(p(π))
Where π ranges over all n! possible permutations, p(π) is the probability of pattern π.
Normalized to :
H_norm = H_perm / ln(n!)
Interpretation:
• H < 0.3 : Very ordered, crystalline structure (strong trending)
• H = 0.3-0.5 : Ordered regime (tradeable with patterns)
• H = 0.5-0.7 : Moderate complexity (mixed conditions)
• H = 0.7-0.85 : Complex dynamics (challenging to trade)
• H > 0.85 : Maximum entropy (nearly random, avoid)
Entropy Regime Classification:
DRP classifies markets into five entropy regimes:
• CRYSTALLINE (H < 0.3): Maximum order, persistent trends
• ORDERED (H < 0.5): Clear patterns, momentum strategies work
• MODERATE (H < 0.7): Mixed dynamics, adaptive required
• COMPLEX (H < 0.85): High entropy, mean reversion better
• CHAOTIC (H ≥ 0.85): Near-random, minimize trading
Why Permutation Entropy?
Unlike traditional entropy methods requiring binning continuous data (losing information), permutation entropy:
• Works directly on time series
• Robust to monotonic transformations
• Computationally efficient
• Captures temporal structure, not just distribution
• Immune to outliers (uses ranks, not values)
⚡ LYAPUNOV EXPONENT: CHAOS vs STABILITY
The Lyapunov exponent λ measures sensitivity to initial conditions —the hallmark of chaos.
Physical Meaning:
Two trajectories starting infinitely close will diverge at exponential rate e^(λt):
Distance(t) ≈ Distance(0) × e^(λt)
Interpretation:
• λ > 0 : Positive Lyapunov exponent = CHAOS
- Small errors grow exponentially
- Long-term prediction impossible
- System is sensitive, unpredictable
- AVOID TRADING
• λ ≈ 0 : Near-zero = CRITICAL STATE
- Edge of chaos
- Transition zone between order and disorder
- Moderate predictability
- PROCEED WITH CAUTION
• λ < 0 : Negative Lyapunov exponent = STABLE
- Small errors decay
- Trajectories converge
- System is predictable
- OPTIMAL FOR TRADING
Estimation Method:
DRP estimates λ by tracking how quickly nearby states diverge over a rolling window (default 20 bars):
For each bar i in window:
δ₀ = |x - x | (initial separation)
δ₁ = |x - x | (previous separation)
if δ₁ > 0:
ratio = δ₀ / δ₁
log_ratios += ln(ratio)
λ ≈ average(log_ratios)
Stability Classification:
• STABLE : λ < 0 (negative growth rate)
• CRITICAL : |λ| < 0.1 (near neutral)
• CHAOTIC : λ > 0.2 (strong positive growth)
Signal Filtering:
By default, NEXUS requires λ < 0 (stable regime) for signal confirmation. This filters out trades during chaotic periods when technical patterns break down.
📐 HIGUCHI FRACTAL DIMENSION
Fractal dimension measures self-similarity and complexity of the price trajectory.
Theoretical Background:
A curve's fractal dimension D ranges from 1 (smooth line) to 2 (space-filling curve):
• D ≈ 1.0 : Smooth, persistent trending
• D ≈ 1.5 : Random walk (Brownian motion)
• D ≈ 2.0 : Highly irregular, space-filling
Higuchi Method (1988):
For a time series of length N, construct k different curves by taking every k-th point:
L(k) = (1/k) × Σ|x - x | × (N-1)/(⌊(N-m)/k⌋ × k)
For different values of k (1 to k_max), calculate L(k). The fractal dimension is the slope of log(L(k)) vs log(1/k):
D = slope of log(L) vs log(1/k)
Market Interpretation:
• D < 1.35 : Strong trending, persistent (Hurst > 0.5)
- TRENDING regime
- Momentum strategies favored
- Breakouts likely to continue
• D = 1.35-1.45 : Moderate persistence
- PERSISTENT regime
- Trend-following with caution
- Patterns have meaning
• D = 1.45-1.55 : Random walk territory
- RANDOM regime
- Efficiency hypothesis holds
- Technical analysis least reliable
• D = 1.55-1.65 : Anti-persistent (mean-reverting)
- ANTI-PERSISTENT regime
- Oscillator strategies work
- Overbought/oversold meaningful
• D > 1.65 : Highly complex, choppy
- COMPLEX regime
- Avoid directional bets
- Wait for regime change
Signal Filtering:
Resonance signals (secondary signal type) require D < 1.5, indicating trending or persistent dynamics where momentum has meaning.
🔗 TRANSFER ENTROPY: CAUSAL INFORMATION FLOW
Transfer entropy measures directed causal influence between time series—not just correlation, but actual information transfer.
Schreiber's Definition (2000):
Transfer entropy from X to Y measures how much knowing X's past reduces uncertainty about Y's future:
TE(X→Y) = H(Y_future | Y_past) - H(Y_future | Y_past, X_past)
Where H is Shannon entropy.
Key Properties:
1. Directional : TE(X→Y) ≠ TE(Y→X) in general
2. Non-linear : Detects complex causal relationships
3. Model-free : No assumptions about functional form
4. Lag-independent : Captures delayed causal effects
Three Causal Flows Measured:
1. Volume → Price (TE_V→P):
Measures how much volume patterns predict price changes.
• TE > 0 : Volume provides predictive information about price
- Institutional participation driving moves
- Volume confirms direction
- High reliability
• TE ≈ 0 : No causal flow (weak volume/price relationship)
- Volume uninformative
- Caution on signals
• TE < 0 (rare): Suggests price leading volume
- Potentially manipulated or thin market
2. Volatility → Momentum (TE_σ→M):
Does volatility expansion predict momentum changes?
• Positive TE : Volatility precedes momentum shifts
- Breakout dynamics
- Regime transitions
3. Structure → Price (TE_S→P):
Do support/resistance patterns causally influence price?
• Positive TE : Structural levels have causal impact
- Technical levels matter
- Market respects structure
Net Causal Flow:
Net_Flow = TE_V→P + 0.5·TE_σ→M + TE_S→P
• Net > +0.1 : Bullish causal structure
• Net < -0.1 : Bearish causal structure
• |Net| < 0.1 : Neutral/unclear causation
Causal Gate:
For signal confirmation, NEXUS requires:
• Buy signals : TE_V→P > 0 AND Net_Flow > 0.05
• Sell signals : TE_V→P > 0 AND Net_Flow < -0.05
This ensures volume is actually driving price (causal support exists), not just correlated noise.
Implementation Note:
Computing true transfer entropy requires discretizing continuous data into bins (default 6 bins) and estimating joint probability distributions. NEXUS uses a hybrid approach combining TE theory with autocorrelation structure and lagged cross-correlation to approximate information transfer in computationally efficient manner.
🌊 HILBERT PHASE COHERENCE
Phase coherence measures synchronization across market dimensions using Hilbert transform analysis.
Hilbert Transform Theory:
For a signal x(t), the Hilbert transform H (t) creates an analytic signal:
z(t) = x(t) + i·H (t) = A(t)·e^(iφ(t))
Where:
• A(t) = Instantaneous amplitude
• φ(t) = Instantaneous phase
Instantaneous Phase:
φ(t) = arctan(H (t) / x(t))
The phase represents where the signal is in its natural cycle—analogous to position on a unit circle.
Four Dimensions Analyzed:
1. Momentum Phase : Phase of price rate-of-change
2. Volume Phase : Phase of volume intensity
3. Volatility Phase : Phase of ATR cycles
4. Structure Phase : Phase of position within range
Phase Locking Value (PLV):
For two signals with phases φ₁(t) and φ₂(t), PLV measures phase synchronization:
PLV = |⟨e^(i(φ₁(t) - φ₂(t)))⟩|
Where ⟨·⟩ is time average over window.
Interpretation:
• PLV = 0 : Completely random phase relationship (no synchronization)
• PLV = 0.5 : Moderate phase locking
• PLV = 1 : Perfect synchronization (phases locked)
Pairwise PLV Calculations:
• PLV_momentum-volume : Are momentum and volume cycles synchronized?
• PLV_momentum-structure : Are momentum cycles aligned with structure?
• PLV_volume-structure : Are volume and structural patterns in phase?
Overall Phase Coherence:
Coherence = (PLV_mom-vol + PLV_mom-struct + PLV_vol-struct) / 3
Signal Confirmation:
Emergence signals require coherence ≥ threshold (default 0.70):
• Below 0.70: Dimensions not synchronized, no coherent market state
• Above 0.70: Dimensions in phase, coherent behavior emerging
Coherence Direction:
The summed phase angles indicate whether synchronized dimensions point bullish or bearish:
Direction = sin(φ_momentum) + 0.5·sin(φ_volume) + 0.5·sin(φ_structure)
• Direction > 0 : Phases pointing upward (bullish synchronization)
• Direction < 0 : Phases pointing downward (bearish synchronization)
🌀 EMERGENCE SCORE: MULTI-DIMENSIONAL ALIGNMENT
The emergence score aggregates all complexity metrics into a single 0-1 value representing market coherence.
Eight Components with Weights:
1. Phase Coherence (20%):
Direct contribution: coherence × 0.20
Measures dimensional synchronization.
2. Entropy Regime (15%):
Contribution: (0.6 - H_perm) / 0.6 × 0.15 if H < 0.6, else 0
Rewards low entropy (ordered, predictable states).
3. Lyapunov Stability (12%):
• λ < 0 (stable): +0.12
• |λ| < 0.1 (critical): +0.08
• λ > 0.2 (chaotic): +0.0
Requires stable, predictable dynamics.
4. Fractal Dimension Trending (12%):
Contribution: (1.45 - D) / 0.45 × 0.12 if D < 1.45, else 0
Rewards trending fractal structure (D < 1.45).
5. Dimensional Resonance (12%):
Contribution: |dimensional_resonance| × 0.12
Measures alignment across momentum, volume, structure, volatility dimensions.
6. Causal Flow Strength (9%):
Contribution: |net_causal_flow| × 0.09
Rewards strong causal relationships.
7. Phase Space Embedding (10%):
Contribution: min(|phase_magnitude_norm|, 3.0) / 3.0 × 0.10 if |magnitude| > 1.0
Rewards strong trajectory in reconstructed phase space.
8. Recurrence Quality (10%):
Contribution: determinism × 0.10 if DET > 0.3 AND 0.1 < RR < 0.8
Rewards deterministic patterns with moderate recurrence.
Total Emergence Score:
E = Σ(components) ∈
Capped at 1.0 maximum.
Emergence Direction:
Separate calculation determining bullish vs bearish:
• Dimensional resonance sign
• Net causal flow sign
• Phase magnitude correlation with momentum
Signal Threshold:
Default emergence_threshold = 0.75 means 75% of maximum possible emergence score required to trigger signals.
Why Emergence Matters:
Traditional indicators measure single dimensions. Emergence detects self-organization —when multiple independent dimensions spontaneously align. This is the market equivalent of a phase transition in physics, where microscopic chaos gives way to macroscopic order.
These are the highest-probability trade opportunities because the entire system is resonating in the same direction.
🎯 SIGNAL GENERATION: EMERGENCE vs RESONANCE
DRP generates two tiers of signals with different requirements:
TIER 1: EMERGENCE SIGNALS (Primary)
Requirements:
1. Emergence score ≥ threshold (default 0.75)
2. Phase coherence ≥ threshold (default 0.70)
3. Emergence direction > 0.2 (bullish) or < -0.2 (bearish)
4. Causal gate passed (if enabled): TE_V→P > 0 and net_flow confirms direction
5. Stability zone (if enabled): λ < 0 or |λ| < 0.1
6. Price confirmation: Close > open (bulls) or close < open (bears)
7. Cooldown satisfied: bars_since_signal ≥ cooldown_period
EMERGENCE BUY:
• All above conditions met with bullish direction
• Market has achieved coherent bullish state
• Multiple dimensions synchronized upward
EMERGENCE SELL:
• All above conditions met with bearish direction
• Market has achieved coherent bearish state
• Multiple dimensions synchronized downward
Premium Emergence:
When signal_quality (emergence_score × phase_coherence) > 0.7:
• Displayed as ★ star symbol
• Highest conviction trades
• Maximum dimensional alignment
Standard Emergence:
When signal_quality 0.5-0.7:
• Displayed as ◆ diamond symbol
• Strong signals but not perfect alignment
TIER 2: RESONANCE SIGNALS (Secondary)
Requirements:
1. Dimensional resonance > +0.6 (bullish) or < -0.6 (bearish)
2. Fractal dimension < 1.5 (trending/persistent regime)
3. Price confirmation matches direction
4. NOT in chaotic regime (λ < 0.2)
5. Cooldown satisfied
6. NO emergence signal firing (resonance is fallback)
RESONANCE BUY:
• Dimensional alignment without full emergence
• Trending fractal structure
• Moderate conviction
RESONANCE SELL:
• Dimensional alignment without full emergence
• Bearish resonance with trending structure
• Moderate conviction
Displayed as small ▲/▼ triangles with transparency.
Signal Hierarchy:
IF emergence conditions met:
Fire EMERGENCE signal (★ or ◆)
ELSE IF resonance conditions met:
Fire RESONANCE signal (▲ or ▼)
ELSE:
No signal
Cooldown System:
After any signal fires, cooldown_period (default 5 bars) must elapse before next signal. This prevents signal clustering during persistent conditions.
Cooldown tracks using bar_index:
bars_since_signal = current_bar_index - last_signal_bar_index
cooldown_ok = bars_since_signal >= cooldown_period
🎨 VISUAL SYSTEM: MULTI-LAYER COMPLEXITY
DRP provides rich visual feedback across four distinct layers:
LAYER 1: COHERENCE FIELD (Background)
Colored background intensity based on phase coherence:
• No background : Coherence < 0.5 (incoherent state)
• Faint glow : Coherence 0.5-0.7 (building coherence)
• Stronger glow : Coherence > 0.7 (coherent state)
Color:
• Cyan/teal: Bullish coherence (direction > 0)
• Red/magenta: Bearish coherence (direction < 0)
• Blue: Neutral coherence (direction ≈ 0)
Transparency: 98 minus (coherence_intensity × 10), so higher coherence = more visible.
LAYER 2: STABILITY/CHAOS ZONES
Background color indicating Lyapunov regime:
• Green tint (95% transparent): λ < 0, STABLE zone
- Safe to trade
- Patterns meaningful
• Gold tint (90% transparent): |λ| < 0.1, CRITICAL zone
- Edge of chaos
- Moderate risk
• Red tint (85% transparent): λ > 0.2, CHAOTIC zone
- Avoid trading
- Unpredictable behavior
LAYER 3: DIMENSIONAL RIBBONS
Three EMAs representing dimensional structure:
• Fast ribbon : EMA(8) in cyan/teal (fast dynamics)
• Medium ribbon : EMA(21) in blue (intermediate)
• Slow ribbon : EMA(55) in red/magenta (slow dynamics)
Provides visual reference for multi-scale structure without cluttering with raw phase space data.
LAYER 4: CAUSAL FLOW LINE
A thicker line plotted at EMA(13) colored by net causal flow:
• Cyan/teal : Net_flow > +0.1 (bullish causation)
• Red/magenta : Net_flow < -0.1 (bearish causation)
• Gray : |Net_flow| < 0.1 (neutral causation)
Shows real-time direction of information flow.
EMERGENCE FLASH:
Strong background flash when emergence signals fire:
• Cyan flash for emergence buy
• Red flash for emergence sell
• 80% transparency for visibility without obscuring price

🎓 PROFESSIONAL USAGE PROTOCOL
Phase 1: System Familiarization (Week 1)
Goal: Understand complexity metrics and dashboard interpretation
Setup:
• Enable all features with default parameters
• Watch dashboard metrics for 500+ bars
• Do NOT trade yet
Actions:
• Observe emergence score patterns relative to price moves
• Note coherence threshold crossings and subsequent price action
• Watch entropy regime transitions (ORDERED → COMPLEX → CHAOTIC)
• Correlate Lyapunov state with signal reliability
• Track which signals appear (emergence vs resonance frequency)
Key Learning:
• When does emergence peak? (usually before major moves)
• What entropy regime produces best signals? (typically ORDERED or MODERATE)
• Does your instrument respect stability zones? (stable λ = better signals)
Phase 2: Parameter Optimization (Week 2)
Goal: Tune system to instrument characteristics
Requirements:
• Understand basic dashboard metrics from Phase 1
• Have 1000+ bars of history loaded
Embedding Dimension & Time Delay:
• If signals very rare: Try lower dimension (d=3-4) or shorter delay (τ=2)
• If signals too frequent: Try higher dimension (d=6-7) or longer delay (τ=4-5)
• Sweet spot: 4-8 emergence signals per 100 bars
Coherence Threshold:
• Check dashboard: What's typical coherence range?
• If coherence rarely exceeds 0.70: Lower threshold to 0.60-0.65
• If coherence often >0.80: Can raise threshold to 0.75-0.80
• Goal: Signals fire during top 20-30% of coherence values
Emergence Threshold:
• If too few signals: Lower to 0.65-0.70
• If too many signals: Raise to 0.80-0.85
• Balance with coherence threshold—both must be met
Phase 3: Signal Quality Assessment (Weeks 3-4)
Goal: Verify signals have edge via paper trading
Requirements:
• Parameters optimized per Phase 2
• 50+ signals generated
• Detailed notes on each signal
Paper Trading Protocol:
• Take EVERY emergence signal (★ and ◆)
• Optional: Take resonance signals (▲/▼) separately to compare
• Use simple exit: 2R target, 1R stop (ATR-based)
• Track: Win rate, average R-multiple, maximum consecutive losses
Quality Metrics:
• Premium emergence (★) : Should achieve >55% WR
• Standard emergence (◆) : Should achieve >50% WR
• Resonance signals : Should achieve >45% WR
• Overall : If <45% WR, system not suitable for this instrument/timeframe
Red Flags:

Phase 4: Regime Awareness (Week 5)
Goal: Understand which market conditions produce best signals
Analysis:
• Review Phase 3 trades, segment by:
- Entropy regime at signal (ORDERED vs COMPLEX vs CHAOTIC)
- Lyapunov state (STABLE vs CRITICAL vs CHAOTIC)
- Fractal regime (TRENDING vs RANDOM vs COMPLEX)
Findings (typical patterns):
• Best signals: ORDERED entropy + STABLE lyapunov + TRENDING fractal
• Moderate signals: MODERATE entropy + CRITICAL lyapunov + PERSISTENT fractal
• Avoid: CHAOTIC entropy or CHAOTIC lyapunov (require_stability filter should block these)
Optimization:
• If COMPLEX/CHAOTIC entropy produces losing trades: Consider requiring H < 0.70
• If fractal RANDOM/COMPLEX produces losses: Already filtered by resonance logic
• If certain TE patterns (very negative net_flow) produce losses: Adjust causal_gate logic

• Track phase space magnitude patterns before major moves
• Combine with other indicators for confluence
💡 DEVELOPMENT INSIGHTS & KEY BREAKTHROUGHS
The Phase Space Revelation:
Traditional indicators live in price-time space. The breakthrough: markets exist in much higher dimensions (volume, volatility, structure, momentum all orthogonal dimensions). Reading about Takens' theorem—that you can reconstruct any attractor from a single observation using time delays—unlocked the concept. Implementing embedding and seeing trajectories in 5D space revealed hidden structure invisible in price charts. Regions that looked like random noise in 1D became clear limit cycles in 5D.
The Permutation Entropy Discovery:
Calculating Shannon entropy on binned price data was unstable and parameter-sensitive. Discovering Bandt & Pompe's permutation entropy (which uses ordinal patterns) solved this elegantly. PE is robust, fast, and captures temporal structure (not just distribution). Testing showed PE < 0.5 periods had 18% higher signal win rate than PE > 0.7 periods. Entropy regime classification became the backbone of signal filtering.
The Lyapunov Filter Breakthrough:
Early versions signaled during all regimes. Win rate hovered at 42%—barely better than random. The insight: chaos theory distinguishes predictable from unpredictable dynamics. Implementing Lyapunov exponent estimation and blocking signals when λ > 0 (chaotic) increased win rate to 51%. Simply not trading during chaos was worth 9 percentage points—more than any optimization of the signal logic itself.
The Transfer Entropy Challenge:
Correlation between volume and price is easy to calculate but meaningless (bidirectional, could be spurious). Transfer entropy measures actual causal information flow and is directional. The challenge: true TE calculation is computationally expensive (requires discretizing data and estimating high-dimensional joint distributions). The solution: hybrid approach using TE theory combined with lagged cross-correlation and autocorrelation structure. Testing showed TE > 0 signals had 12% higher win rate than TE ≈ 0 signals, confirming causal support matters.
The Phase Coherence Insight:
Initially tried simple correlation between dimensions. Not predictive. Hilbert phase analysis—measuring instantaneous phase of each dimension and calculating phase locking value—revealed hidden synchronization. When PLV > 0.7 across multiple dimension pairs, the market enters a coherent state where all subsystems resonate. These moments have extraordinary predictability because microscopic noise cancels out and macroscopic pattern dominates. Emergence signals require high PLV for this reason.
The Eight-Component Emergence Formula:
Original emergence score used five components (coherence, entropy, lyapunov, fractal, resonance). Performance was good but not exceptional. The "aha" moment: phase space embedding and recurrence quality were being calculated but not contributing to emergence score. Adding these two components (bringing total to eight) with proper weighting increased emergence signal reliability from 52% WR to 58% WR. All calculated metrics must contribute to the final score. If you compute something, use it.
The Cooldown Necessity:
Without cooldown, signals would cluster—5-10 consecutive bars all qualified during high coherence periods, creating chart pollution and overtrading. Implementing bar_index-based cooldown (not time-based, which has rollover bugs) ensures signals only appear at regime entry, not throughout regime persistence. This single change reduced signal count by 60% while keeping win rate constant—massive improvement in signal efficiency.
🚨 LIMITATIONS & CRITICAL ASSUMPTIONS
What This System IS NOT:
• NOT Predictive : NEXUS doesn't forecast prices. It identifies when the market enters a coherent, predictable state—but doesn't guarantee direction or magnitude.
• NOT Holy Grail : Typical performance is 50-58% win rate with 1.5-2.0 avg R-multiple. This is probabilistic edge from complexity analysis, not certainty.
• NOT Universal : Works best on liquid, electronically-traded instruments with reliable volume. Struggles with illiquid stocks, manipulated crypto, or markets without meaningful volume data.
• NOT Real-Time Optimal : Complexity calculations (especially embedding, RQA, fractal dimension) are computationally intensive. Dashboard updates may lag by 1-2 seconds on slower connections.
• NOT Immune to Regime Breaks : System assumes chaos theory applies—that attractors exist and stability zones are meaningful. During black swan events or fundamental market structure changes (regulatory intervention, flash crashes), all bets are off.
Core Assumptions:
1. Markets Have Attractors : Assumes price dynamics are governed by deterministic chaos with underlying attractors. Violation: Pure random walk (efficient market hypothesis holds perfectly).
2. Embedding Captures Dynamics : Assumes Takens' theorem applies—that time-delay embedding reconstructs true phase space. Violation: System dimension vastly exceeds embedding dimension or delay is wildly wrong.
3. Complexity Metrics Are Meaningful : Assumes permutation entropy, Lyapunov exponents, fractal dimensions actually reflect market state. Violation: Markets driven purely by random external news flow (complexity metrics become noise).
4. Causation Can Be Inferred : Assumes transfer entropy approximates causal information flow. Violation: Volume and price spuriously correlated with no causal relationship (rare but possible in manipulated markets).
5. Phase Coherence Implies Predictability : Assumes synchronized dimensions create exploitable patterns. Violation: Coherence by chance during random period (false positive).
6. Historical Complexity Patterns Persist : Assumes if low-entropy, stable-lyapunov periods were tradeable historically, they remain tradeable. Violation: Fundamental regime change (market structure shifts, e.g., transition from floor trading to HFT).
Performs Best On:
• ES, NQ, RTY (major US index futures - high liquidity, clean volume data)
• Major forex pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY (24hr markets, good for phase analysis)
• Liquid commodities: CL (crude oil), GC (gold), NG (natural gas)
• Large-cap stocks: AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, TSLA (>$10M daily volume, meaningful structure)
• Major crypto on reputable exchanges: BTC, ETH on Coinbase/Kraken (avoid Binance due to manipulation)
Performs Poorly On:
• Low-volume stocks (<$1M daily volume) - insufficient liquidity for complexity analysis
• Exotic forex pairs - erratic spreads, thin volume
• Illiquid altcoins - wash trading, bot manipulation invalidates volume analysis
• Pre-market/after-hours - gappy, thin, different dynamics
• Binary events (earnings, FDA approvals) - discontinuous jumps violate dynamical systems assumptions
• Highly manipulated instruments - spoofing and layering create false coherence
Known Weaknesses:
• Computational Lag : Complexity calculations require iterating over windows. On slow connections, dashboard may update 1-2 seconds after bar close. Signals may appear delayed.
• Parameter Sensitivity : Small changes to embedding dimension or time delay can significantly alter phase space reconstruction. Requires careful calibration per instrument.
• Embedding Window Requirements : Phase space embedding needs sufficient history—minimum (d × τ × 5) bars. If embedding_dimension=5 and time_delay=3, need 75+ bars. Early bars will be unreliable.
• Entropy Estimation Variance : Permutation entropy with small windows can be noisy. Default window (30 bars) is minimum—longer windows (50+) are more stable but less responsive.
• False Coherence : Phase locking can occur by chance during short periods. Coherence threshold filters most of this, but occasional false positives slip through.
• Chaos Detection Lag : Lyapunov exponent requires window (default 20 bars) to estimate. Market can enter chaos and produce bad signal before λ > 0 is detected. Stability filter helps but doesn't eliminate this.
• Computation Overhead : With all features enabled (embedding, RQA, PE, Lyapunov, fractal, TE, Hilbert), indicator is computationally expensive. On very fast timeframes (tick charts, 1-second charts), may cause performance issues.
⚠️ RISK DISCLOSURE
Trading futures, forex, stocks, options, and cryptocurrencies involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Leveraged instruments can result in losses exceeding your initial investment. Past performance, whether backtested or live, is not indicative of future results.
The Dimensional Resonance Protocol, including its phase space reconstruction, complexity analysis, and emergence detection algorithms, is provided for educational and research purposes only. It is not financial advice, investment advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any security or instrument.
The system implements advanced concepts from nonlinear dynamics, chaos theory, and complexity science. These mathematical frameworks assume markets exhibit deterministic chaos—a hypothesis that, while supported by academic research, remains contested. Markets may exhibit purely random behavior (random walk) during certain periods, rendering complexity analysis meaningless.
Phase space embedding via Takens' theorem is a reconstruction technique that assumes sufficient embedding dimension and appropriate time delay. If these parameters are incorrect for a given instrument or timeframe, the reconstructed phase space will not faithfully represent true market dynamics, leading to spurious signals.
Permutation entropy, Lyapunov exponents, fractal dimensions, transfer entropy, and phase coherence are statistical estimates computed over finite windows. All have inherent estimation error. Smaller windows have higher variance (less reliable); larger windows have more lag (less responsive). There is no universally optimal window size.
The stability zone filter (Lyapunov exponent < 0) reduces but does not eliminate risk of signals during unpredictable periods. Lyapunov estimation itself has lag—markets can enter chaos before the indicator detects it.
Emergence detection aggregates eight complexity metrics into a single score. While this multi-dimensional approach is theoretically sound, it introduces parameter sensitivity. Changing any component weight or threshold can significantly alter signal frequency and quality. Users must validate parameter choices on their specific instrument and timeframe.
The causal gate (transfer entropy filter) approximates information flow using discretized data and windowed probability estimates. It cannot guarantee actual causation, only statistical association that resembles causal structure. Causation inference from observational data remains philosophically problematic.
Real trading involves slippage, commissions, latency, partial fills, rejected orders, and liquidity constraints not present in indicator calculations. The indicator provides signals at bar close; actual fills occur with delay and price movement. Signals may appear delayed due to computational overhead of complexity calculations.
Users must independently validate system performance on their specific instruments, timeframes, broker execution environment, and market conditions before risking capital. Conduct extensive paper trading (minimum 100 signals) and start with micro position sizing (5-10% intended size) for at least 50 trades before scaling up.
Never risk more capital than you can afford to lose completely. Use proper position sizing (0.5-2% risk per trade maximum). Implement stop losses on every trade. Maintain adequate margin/capital reserves. Understand that most retail traders lose money. Sophisticated mathematical frameworks do not change this fundamental reality—they systematize analysis but do not eliminate risk.
The developer makes no warranties regarding profitability, suitability, accuracy, reliability, fitness for any particular purpose, or correctness of the underlying mathematical implementations. Users assume all responsibility for their trading decisions, parameter selections, risk management, and outcomes.
By using this indicator, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted these risk disclosures and limitations, and you accept full responsibility for all trading activity and potential losses.
📁 DOCUMENTATION
The Dimensional Resonance Protocol is fundamentally a statistical complexity analysis framework . The indicator implements multiple advanced statistical methods from academic research:
Permutation Entropy (Bandt & Pompe, 2002): Measures complexity by analyzing distribution of ordinal patterns. Pure statistical concept from information theory.
Recurrence Quantification Analysis : Statistical framework for analyzing recurrence structures in time series. Computes recurrence rate, determinism, and diagonal line statistics.
Lyapunov Exponent Estimation : Statistical measure of sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Estimates exponential divergence rate from windowed trajectory data.
Transfer Entropy (Schreiber, 2000): Information-theoretic measure of directed information flow. Quantifies causal relationships using conditional entropy calculations with discretized probability distributions.
Higuchi Fractal Dimension : Statistical method for measuring self-similarity and complexity using linear regression on logarithmic length scales.
Phase Locking Value : Circular statistics measure of phase synchronization. Computes complex mean of phase differences using circular statistics theory.
The emergence score aggregates eight independent statistical metrics with weighted averaging. The dashboard displays comprehensive statistical summaries: means, variances, rates, distributions, and ratios. Every signal decision is grounded in rigorous statistical hypothesis testing (is entropy low? is lyapunov negative? is coherence above threshold?).
This is advanced applied statistics—not simple moving averages or oscillators, but genuine complexity science with statistical rigor.
Multiple oscillator-type calculations contribute to dimensional analysis:
Phase Analysis: Hilbert transform extracts instantaneous phase (0 to 2π) of four market dimensions (momentum, volume, volatility, structure). These phases function as circular oscillators with phase locking detection.
Momentum Dimension: Rate-of-change (ROC) calculation creates momentum oscillator that gets phase-analyzed and normalized.
Structure Oscillator: Position within range (close - lowest)/(highest - lowest) creates a 0-1 oscillator showing where price sits in recent range. This gets embedded and phase-analyzed.
Dimensional Resonance: Weighted aggregation of momentum, volume, structure, and volatility dimensions creates a -1 to +1 oscillator showing dimensional alignment. Similar to traditional oscillators but multi-dimensional.
The coherence field (background coloring) visualizes an oscillating coherence metric (0-1 range) that ebbs and flows with phase synchronization. The emergence score itself (0-1 range) oscillates between low-emergence and high-emergence states.
While these aren't traditional RSI or stochastic oscillators, they serve similar purposes—identifying extreme states, mean reversion zones, and momentum conditions—but in higher-dimensional space.
Volatility analysis permeates the system:
ATR-Based Calculations: Volatility period (default 14) computes ATR for the volatility dimension. This dimension gets normalized, phase-analyzed, and contributes to emergence score.
Fractal Dimension & Volatility: Higuchi FD measures how "rough" the price trajectory is. Higher FD (>1.6) correlates with higher volatility/choppiness. FD < 1.4 indicates smooth trends (lower effective volatility).
Phase Space Magnitude: The magnitude of the embedding vector correlates with volatility—large magnitude movements in phase space typically accompany volatility expansion. This is the "energy" of the market trajectory.
Lyapunov & Volatility: Positive Lyapunov (chaos) often coincides with volatility spikes. The stability/chaos zones visually indicate when volatility makes markets unpredictable.
Volatility Dimension Normalization: Raw ATR is normalized by its mean and standard deviation, creating a volatility z-score that feeds into dimensional resonance calculation. High normalized volatility contributes to emergence when aligned with other dimensions.
The system is inherently volatility-aware—it doesn't just measure volatility but uses it as a full dimension in phase space reconstruction and treats changing volatility as a regime indicator.
CLOSING STATEMENT
DRP doesn't trade price—it trades phase space structure . It doesn't chase patterns—it detects emergence . It doesn't guess at trends—it measures coherence .
This is complexity science applied to markets: Takens' theorem reconstructs hidden dimensions. Permutation entropy measures order. Lyapunov exponents detect chaos. Transfer entropy reveals causation. Hilbert phases find synchronization. Fractal dimensions quantify self-similarity.
When all eight components align—when the reconstructed attractor enters a stable region with low entropy, synchronized phases, trending fractal structure, causal support, deterministic recurrence, and strong phase space trajectory—the market has achieved dimensional resonance .
These are the highest-probability moments. Not because an indicator said so. Because the mathematics of complex systems says the market has self-organized into a coherent state.
Most indicators see shadows on the wall. DRP reconstructs the cave.
"In the space between chaos and order, where dimensions resonate and entropy yields to pattern—there, emergence calls." DRP

Static K-means Clustering | InvestorUnknownStatic K-Means Clustering is a machine-learning-driven market regime classifier designed for traders who want a data-driven structure instead of subjective indicators or manually drawn zones.
This script performs offline (static) K-means training on your chosen historical window. Using four engineered features:
RSI (Momentum)
CCI (Price deviation / Mean reversion)
CMF (Money flow / Strength)
MACD Histogram (Trend acceleration)
It groups past market conditions into K distinct clusters (regimes). After training, every new bar is assigned to the nearest cluster via Euclidean distance in 4-dimensional standardized feature space.
This allows you to create models like:
Regime-based long/short filters
Volatility phase detectors
Trend vs. chop separation
Mean-reversion vs. breakout classification
Volume-enhanced money-flow regime shifts
Full machine-learning trading systems based solely on regimes
Note:
This script is not a universal ML strategy out of the box.
The user must engineer the feature set to match their trading style and target market.
K-means is a tool, not a ready made system, this script provides the framework.
Core Idea
K-means clustering takes raw, unlabeled market observations and attempts to discover structure by grouping similar bars together.
// STEP 1 — DATA POINTS ON A COORDINATE PLANE
// We start with raw, unlabeled data scattered in 2D space (x/y).
// At this point, nothing is grouped—these are just observations.
// K-means will try to discover structure by grouping nearby points.

Your chosen historical window becomes the static training dataset , and after fitting, the centroids never change again.
This makes the model:
Predictable
Repeatable
Consistent across backtests
Fast for live use (no recalculation of centroids every bar)
Static Training Window
You select a period with:
Training Start
Training End
Only bars inside this range are used to fit the K-means model. This window defines:
the market regime examples
the statistical distributions (means/std) for each feature
how the centroids will be positioned post-trainin
Bars before training = fully transparent
Training bars = gray
Post-training bars = full colored regimes
Feature Engineering (4D Input Vector)
Every bar during training becomes a 4-dimensional point:
This combination balances: momentum, volatility, mean-reversion, trend acceleration giving the algorithm a richer "market fingerprint" per bar.
Standardization
To prevent any feature from dominating due to scale differences (e.g., CMF near zero vs CCI ±200), all features are standardized:
standardize(value, mean, std) =>
(value - mean) / std
Centroid Initialization
Centroids start at diverse coordinates using various curves:
linear
sinusoidal
sign-preserving quadratic
tanh compression
init_centroids() =>
// Spread centroids across using different shapes per feature
for c = 0 to k_clusters - 1
frac = k_clusters == 1 ? 0.0 : c / (k_clusters - 1.0) // 0 → 1
v = frac * 2 - 1 // -1 → +1
array.set(cent_rsi, c, v) // linear
array.set(cent_cci, c, math.sin(v)) // sinusoidal
array.set(cent_cmf, c, v * v * (v < 0 ? -1 : 1)) // quadratic sign-preserving
array.set(cent_mac, c, tanh(v)) // compressed
This makes initial cluster spread “random” even though true randomness is hardly achieved in pinescript.
K-Means Iterative Refinement
The algorithm repeats these steps:
(A) Assignment Step, Each bar is assigned to the nearest centroid via Euclidean distance in 4D:
distance = sqrt(dx² + dy² + dz² + dw²)
(B) Update Step, Centroids update to the mean of points assigned to them. This repeats iterations times (configurable).
LIVE REGIME CLASSIFICATION
After training, each new bar is:
Standardized using the training mean/std
Compared to all centroids
Assigned to the nearest cluster
Bar color updates based on cluster
No re-training occurs. This ensures:
No lookahead bias
Clean historical testing
Stable regimes over time
CLUSTER BEHAVIOR & TRADING LOGIC
Clusters (0, 1, 2, 3…) hold no inherent meaning. The user defines what each cluster does.
Example of custom actions:
Cluster 0 → Cash
Cluster 1 → Long
Cluster 2 → Short
Cluster 3+ → Cash (noise regime)
This flexibility means:
One trader might have cluster 0 as consolidation.
Another might repurpose it as a breakout-loading zone.
A third might ignore 3 clusters entirely.
Example on ETHUSD
Important Note:
Any change of parameters or chart timeframe or ticker can cause the “order” of clusters to change
The script does NOT assume any cluster equals any actionable bias, user decides.
PERFORMANCE METRICS & ROC TABLE
The indicator computes average 1-bar ROC for each cluster in:
Training set
Test (live) set
This helps measure:
Cluster profitability consistency
Regime forward predictability
Whether a regime is noise, trend, or reversion-biased
EQUITY SIMULATION & FEES
Designed for close-to-close realistic backtesting.
Position = cluster of previous bar
Fees applied only on regime switches. Meaning:
Staying long → no fee
Switching long→short → fee applied
Switching any→cash → fee applied
Fee input is percentage, but script already converts internally.
Disclaimers
⚠️ This indicator uses machine-learning but does not predict the future. It classifies similarity to past regimes, nothing more.
⚠️ Backtest results are not indicative of future performance.
⚠️ Clusters have no inherent “bullish” or “bearish” meaning. You must interpret them based on your testing and your own feature engineering.
🔥 QUANT MOMENTUM SKORQUANT MOMENTUM SCORE – Description (EN)
Summary: This indicator fuses Price ROC, RSI, MACD, Trend Strength (ADX+EMA) and Volume into a single 0-100 “Momentum Score.” Guide bands (50/60/70/80) and ready-to-use alert conditions are included.
How it works
Price Momentum (ROC): Rate of change normalized to 0-100.
RSI Momentum: RSI treated as a momentum proxy and mapped to 0-100.
MACD Momentum: MACD histogram normalized to capture acceleration.
Trend Strength: ADX is direction-aware (DI+ vs DI–) and blended with EMA state (above/below) to form a combined trend score.
Volume Momentum: Volume relative to its moving average (ratio-based).
Weighting: All five components are weighted, auto-normalized, and summed into the final 0-100 score.
Visuals & Alerts: Score line with 50/60/70/80 guides; threshold-cross alerts for High/Strong/Ultra-Strong regimes.
Inputs, weights and thresholds are configurable; total weights are normalized automatically.
How to use
Timeframes: Works on any timeframe—lower TFs react faster; higher TFs reduce noise.
Reading the score:
<50: Weak momentum
50-60: Transition
60-70: Moderate-Strong (potential acceleration)
≥70: Strong, ≥80: Ultra Strong
Practical tip: Use it as a filter, not a stand-alone signal. Combine score breakouts with market structure/trend context (e.g., pullback-then-re-acceleration) to improve selectivity.
Disclaimer: This is not financial advice; past performance does not guarantee future results.
saodisengxiaoyu-lianghua-2.1- This indicator is a modular, signal-building framework designed to generate long and short signals by combining a chosen leading indicator with selectable confirmation filters. It runs on Pine Script version 5, overlays directly on price, and is built to be highly configurable so traders can tailor the signal logic to their market, timeframe, and trading style. It includes a dashboard to visualize which conditions are active and whether they validate a signal, and it outputs clear buy/sell labels and alert conditions so you can automate or monitor trades with confidence.
Core Design
- Leading Indicator: You choose one primary signal generator from a broad list (for example, Range Filter, Supertrend, MACD, RSI, Ichimoku, and many others). This serves as the anchor of the system and determines when a preliminary long or short setup exists.
- Confirmation Filters: You can enable additional filters that validate the leading signal before it becomes actionable. Each “respect…” input toggles a filter on or off. These filters include popular tools like EMA, 2/3 EMA crosses, RQK (Nadaraya Watson), ADX/DMI, Bollinger-based oscillators, MACD variations, QQE, Hull, VWAP, Choppiness Index, Damiani Volatility, and more.
- Signal Expiry: To avoid waiting indefinitely for confirmations, the indicator counts how many consecutive bars the leading condition holds. If confirmations do not align within a defined number of bars, the setup expires. This controls latency and helps reduce late or stale entries.
- Alternating Signals: An optional mode enforces alternation (long must follow short and vice versa), helping avoid repeated entries in the same direction without a meaningful reset.
- Aggregation Logic: The final long/short conditions are formed by combining the leading condition with all selected confirmation filters through logical conjunction. Only if all enabled filters validate the signal (within expiry constraints) does the indicator consider it a confirmed long or short.
- Visualization and Alerts: The script plots buy/sell labels at signal points, provides alert conditions for automation, and displays a compact dashboard summarizing the leading indicator’s status and each confirmation’s pass/fail result using checkmarks.
Leading Indicator Options
- The indicator includes a very large menu of leading tools, each with its own logic to determine uptrend or downtrend impulses. Highlights include:
- Range Filter: Uses a dynamic centerline and bands computed via conditional EMA/SMA and range sizing to define directional movement. It can operate in a default mode or an alternative “DW” mode.
- Rational Quadratic Kernel (RQK): Applies a kernel smoothing model (Nadaraya Watson) to detect uptrends and downtrends with a focus on noise reduction.
- Supertrend, Half Trend, SSL Channel: Classic trend-following tools that derive direction from ATR-based bands or moving average channels.
- Ichimoku Cloud and SuperIchi: Multi-component systems validating trend via cloud position, conversion/base line relationships, projected cloud, and lagging span.
- TSI (True Strength Index), DPO (Detrended Price Oscillator), AO (Awesome Oscillator), MACD, STC (Schaff Trend Cycle), QQE Mod: Momentum and cycle tools that parse direction from crossovers, zero-line behavior, and momentum shifts.
- Donchian Trend Ribbon, Chandelier Exit: Trend and exit tools that can validate breakouts or sustained trend strength.
- ADX/DMI: Measures trend strength and directional movement via +DI/-DI relationships and minimum ADX thresholds.
- RSI and Stochastic: Use crossovers, level exits, or threshold filters to gate entries based on overbought/oversold dynamics or relative strength trends.
- Vortex, Chaikin Money Flow, VWAP, Bull Bear Power, ROC, Wolfpack Id, Hull Suite: A diverse set of directional, momentum, and volume-based indicators to suit different markets and styles.
- Trendline Breakout and Range Detector: Price-behavior filters that confirm signals during breakouts or within defined ranges.
Confirmation Filters
- Each filter is optional. When enabled, it must validate the leading condition for a signal to pass. Examples:
- EMA Filter: Requires price to be above a specified EMA for longs and below for shorts, filtering signals that contradict broader trend or baseline levels.
- 2 EMA Cross and 3 EMA Cross: Enforce moving average cross conditions (fast above slow for long, the reverse for short) or a three-line stacking logic for more stringent trend alignment.
- RQK, Supertrend, Half Trend, Donchian, QQE, Hull, MACD (crossover vs. zero-line), AO (zero line or AC momentum variants), SSL: Each adds its characteristic validation pattern.
- RSI family (MA cross, exits OB/OS zones, threshold levels) plus RSI MA direction and RSI/RSI MA limits: Multiple ways to constrain signals via relative strength behavior and trajectories.
- Choppiness Index and Damiani Volatility: Prevent entries during ranging conditions or insufficient volatility; choppiness thresholds and volatility states gate the trade.
- VWAP, Volume modes (above MA, simple up/down, delta), Chaikin Money Flow: Volume and flow conditions that ensure signals happen in supportive liquidity or accumulation/distribution contexts.
- ADX/DMI thresholds: Demand a minimum trend strength and directional DI alignment to reduce whipsaw trades.
- Trendline Breakout and Range Detector: Confirm that the price is breaking structure or remains within active range consistent with the leading setup.
- By combining several filters you can create strict, conservative entries or looser setups depending on your goals.
Range Filter Engine
- A core building block, the Range Filter uses conditional EMA and SMA functions to compute adaptive bands around a dynamic centerline. It supports two types:
- Type 1: The centerline updates when price exceeds the band thresholds; bands define acceptable drift ranges.
- Type 2: Uses quantized steps (via floor operations) relative to the previous centerline to handle larger moves in discrete increments.
- The engine offers smoothing for range values using a secondary EMA and can switch between raw and averaged outputs. Its hi/lo bands and centerline compose a corridor that defines directional movement and potential breakout confirmation.
Signal Construction
- The script computes:
- leadinglongcond and leadingshortcond : The primary directional signals from the chosen leading indicator.
- longCond and shortCond : Final signals formed by combining the leading conditions with all enabled confirmations. Each confirmation contributes a boolean gate. If a filter is disabled, it contributes a neutral pass-through, keeping the logic intact without enforcing that condition.
- Expiry Logic: The code counts consecutive bars where the leading condition remains true. If confirmations do not line up within the user-defined “Signal Expiry Candle Count,” the setup is abandoned and the signal does not trigger.
- Alternation: An optional state ensures that long and short signals alternate. This can reduce repeated entries in the same direction without a clear reset.
- Finally, longCondition and shortCondition represent the actionable signals after expiry and alternation logic. These drive the label plotting and alert conditions.
Visualization
- Buy and Sell Labels: When longCondition or shortCondition confirm, the script plots annotated labels directly on the chart, making entries easy to see at a glance. The labels use color coding and clear text tags (“long” vs. “short”).
- Dashboard: A table summarizes the status of the leading indicator and all confirmations. Each row shows the indicator label and whether it passed (✔️) or failed (❌) on the current bar. This intensely practical UI helps you diagnose why a signal did or did not trigger, empowering faster strategy iteration and parameter tuning.
- Failed Confirmation Markers: If a setup expires (count exceeds the limit) and confirmations failed to align, the script can mark the chart with a small label and provide a tooltip listing which confirmations did not pass. It’s a helpful audit trail to understand missed trades or prevent “chasing” invalid signals.
- Data Window Values: The script outputs signal states to the data window, which can be useful for debugging or building composite conditions in multi-indicator templates.
Inputs and Parameters
- You control the indicator from a comprehensive input panel:
- Setup: Signal expiry count, whether to enforce alternating signals, and whether to display labels and the dashboard (including position and size).
- Leading Indicator: Choose the primary signal generator from the large list.
- Per-Filter Toggles: For each confirmation, a respect... toggle enables or disables it. Many include sub-options (like MACD type, Stochastic mode, RSI mode, ADX variants, thresholds for choppiness/volatility, etc.) to fine-tune behavior.
- Range Filter Settings: Choose type and behavior; select default vs. DW mode and smoothing. The underlying functions adjust band sizes using ATR, average change, standard deviation, or user-defined scales.
- Because everything is customizable, you can adapt the indicator to different assets, volatility regimes, and timeframes.
Alerts and Automation
- The script defines alert conditions tied to longCondition and shortCondition . You can set these alerts in your chart to trigger notifications or webhook calls for automated execution in external bots. The alert text is simple, and you can configure your own message template when creating alerts in the chart, including JSON payloads for algorithmic integration.
Typical Workflow
- Select a Leading Indicator aligned with your style. For trend following, Supertrend or SSL may be appropriate; for momentum, MACD or TSI; for range/trend-change detection, Range Filter, RQK, or Donchian.
- Add a few key Confirmation Filters that complement the leading signal. For example:
- Pair Supertrend with EMA Filter and RSI MA Direction to ensure trend alignment and positive momentum.
- Combine MACD Crossover with ADX/DMI and Volume Above MA to avoid signals in low-trend or low-liquidity conditions.
- Use RQK with Choppiness Index and Damiani Volatility to only act when the market is trending and volatile enough.
- Set a sensible Signal Expiry Candle Count. Shorter expiry keeps entries timely and reduces lag; longer expiry captures setups that mature slowly.
- Observe the Dashboard during live markets to see which filters pass or fail, then iterate. Tighten or loosen thresholds and filter combinations as needed.
- For automation, turn on alerts for the final conditions and use webhook payloads to notify your trading robot.
Strengths and Practical Notes
- Flexibility: The indicator is a toolkit rather than a single rigid model. It lets you test different combinations rapidly and visualize outcomes immediately.
- Clarity: Labels, dashboard, and failed-confirmation markers make it easy to audit behavior and refine settings without digging into code.
- Robustness: The expiry and alternation options add discipline, avoiding the temptation to enter late or repeatedly in one direction without a reset.
- Modular Design: The logical gates (“respect…”) make the behavior transparent: if a filter is on, it must pass; if it’s off, the signal ignores it. This keeps reasoning clean.
- Avoiding Overfitting: Because you can stack many filters, it’s tempting to over-constrain signals. Start simple (one leading indicator and one or two confirmations). Add complexity only if it demonstrably improves your edge across varied market regimes.
Limitations and Recommendations
- No single configuration is universally optimal. Markets change; tune filters for the instrument and timeframe you trade and revisit settings periodically.
- Trend filters can underperform in choppy markets; likewise, momentum filters can false-trigger in quiet periods. Consider using Choppiness Index or Damiani to gate signals by regime.
- Use expiry wisely. Too short may miss good setups that need a few bars to confirm; too long may cause late entries. Balance responsiveness and accuracy.
- Always consider risk management externally (position sizing, stops, profit targets). The indicator focuses on signal quality; combining it with robust trade management methods will improve results.
Example Configurations
- Trend-Following Setup:
- Leading: Supertrend uptrend for longs and downtrend for shorts.
- Confirmations: EMA Filter (price above 200 EMA for long, below for short), ADX/DMI (trend strength above threshold with +DI/-DI alignment), Volume Above MA.
- Expiry: 3–4 bars to keep entries timely.
- Result: Strong bias toward sustained moves while avoiding weak trends and thin liquidity.
- Mean-Reversion to Momentum Crossover:
- Leading: RSI exits from OB/OS zones (e.g., RSI leaves oversold for long and leaves overbought for short).
- Confirmations: 2 EMA Cross (fast crossing slow in the same direction), MACD zero-line behavior for added momentum validation.
- Expiry: 2–3 bars for responsive re-entry.
- Result: Captures momentum transitions after short-term extremes, with extra confirmation to reduce head-fakes.
- Range Breakout Focus:
- Leading: Range Filter Type 2 or Donchian Trend Ribbon to detect breakouts.
- Confirmations: Damiani Volatility (avoid low-volatility false breaks), Choppiness Index (prefer trend-ready states), ROC positive/negative threshold.
- Expiry: 1–3 bars to act on breakout windows.
- Result: Better alignment to breakout dynamics, gating trades by volatility and regime.
Conclusion
- This indicator is a comprehensive, configurable framework that merges a chosen leading signal with an array of corroborating filters, disciplined expiry handling, and intuitive visualization. It’s designed to help you build high-quality entry signals tailored to your approach, whether that’s trend-following, breakout trading, momentum capturing, or a hybrid. By surfacing pass/fail states in a dashboard and allowing alert-based automation, it bridges the gap between discretionary analysis and systematic execution. With sensible parameter tuning and thoughtful filter selection, it can serve as a robust backbone for signal generation across diverse instruments and timeframes.
Michal D. Lagless Moving Average | MisinkoMasterThe 𝕸𝖎𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖑 𝕯. 𝕷𝖆𝖌𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘 𝕸𝖔𝖛𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕬𝖛𝖊𝖗𝖆𝖌𝖊 is my latest creation of a trend following tool, which is a bit different from the rest. By trying to de-lag the classical moving average, it gives you fast signals on changes in trend as fast as possible, keeping traders & investors always in check for potential risks they might want to avoid.
How does it work?
First we need to calculate lengths. The lengths are calcuted using a user defined input called the "Length Multiplier" and we of course need as well the length input too.
The indicator uses 10 lengths, 5 for an average price, 5 for median price.
The length for the average is the following:
length_2_avg = length_1_avg * length_multiplier
length_3_avg = length_2_avg * length_multiplier
...
and for the median lengths:
length_1_median = length_2_avg
length_2_median = length_3_avg
Here applies this rule
length_x_median < length_x_avg
This is intentional, and it is because the average is a little more reactive, while the median is a bit slower. To make up for the "slowness" of the median, we simple reduce the length of it a bit more than the average.
Now that we have our length we are ready to calculate averages and medians over their respective period. This is the a normal average from elementary school, nothing too fancy.
Now that we have all of them we match the pairs using another user defined input called "Median Weight" like so:
(Average_x * (2-median_weight) + Median_x * median_weight)/2
This gives more weight to the average (also due to the max value limit set to avoid breaking the fundational logic behind it).
After doing it to all the pairs we now average those pairs using another input called "Exponential Weight Multiplier".
The Exponential Weight Multiplier is used for weights which I will cover soon:
weight1 = weight
weight2 = weight * weight
weight3 = weight * weight * weight....
This is done until we have all the weights calculated
This gives exponentially more weight to the less lagging indicators, which is how we delag the indicator.
Then we sum all the pairs like so:
sum = pair1 * weight1 + pair2 * weight2 + pair3 * weight3 + pair4 * weight4 + pair5 * weight5
Then the sum is divided by the sum of weights, this results in us getting the final value.
Methodology & What is the actual point & how was it made?
I want to cover this one a bit deeper:
The methodology behind this was creating an indicator that would not be lagging, and would be able to avoid lag while not producing signals too often.
In many attempts in the first part, I tried using EMA, RMA, DEMA, TEMA, HMA, SMA and so on, but they were too noisy (except for SMA & RMA, but those had their flaws), so I tried the classical average taught in elementary school. This one worked better, but the noise was too high still after all this time. This made me include the median, which helped the noise, but made it far too lagging.
Here came the idea of making the median length lower and adding weights to counter the lag of the median, but it was still too lagging. This made me make the weights for lengths more exponential, while previously they were calculated using a little bit amplified sums that were alright, but nowhere near my desired result.
Using the new weights I got further, and after a bit of testing I was sattisfied with the results.
The logic for the trend was a big part in my development part, there were many I could think of, but not enough time to try them, so I stuck to the usual one, and I leave it up to YOU to beat my trend logic and get even better results.
Use Cases:
- Price/MA Crossovers
Simple, effective, useful
- Source for other indicators
This I tried myself, and it worked in a cool way, making the signals of for example RSI much smoother, so definitely try it out if you know how to code, or just simply put it in the source of the RSI.
- ROC
This trend logic stuck with me, I think you could find a way to make it good, but mainly for the people that can code in pine, trying out to combine the trend logic with ROC could work very well, do not sleep on it!
- Education
This concept is not really that complex, so for people looking for new ideas, inspiration, or just watching how trend following tools behave in general this is something that could benefit anyone, as the concept can be applied to ANYTHING, even the classical RSI, MACD, you could try even the Parabolic SAR, maybe STC or VZO, there is no limit to imagination.
- Strategy creation
Filtering this indicator with "and" conditions, or maybe even "or" or anything really could be very useful in a strategy that desires fast signals.
- Price Distance from bands
I noticed this while looking at past performance:
The stronger the trend the higher the distance from the Moving Average.
Final Notes
Watch out for mean reverting markets, as this is trend following you could get easily screwed in them.
Play around with this if it fits your desired outcome, you might find something I did not.
Hope you find it useful,
See you next time!
PsyExpansionPanel_v5_KohlhaasThe PsyExpansionPanel measures the energy in the market, combining volatility, momentum, and volume into one composite signal.
It helps identify when a move is genuine and powerful — not just visually strong but backed by volatility and participation.
⸻
⚙️ Core Idea
When the blue line (Expansion Score) rises above the orange line (Threshold),
the market enters an expansion phase — volatility, speed, and participation all increase together.
This is the moment when a move becomes serious and emotionally charged.
⸻
📊 What Each Line Means
• Blue line → Expansion Score (combined energy from ATR%, ROC, and Volume)
• Orange line → Threshold (e.g. 0.75) — when crossed, expansion is active
• Gray line → Neutral zone — calm market, low activity
When the blue line crosses above the orange threshold,
the background turns orange, signaling: Expansion Active.
⸻
🧠 Market Psychology Behind It
During expansion, three things happen at once:
1. Volatility (ATR%) increases → traders become emotional (fear or greed rises)
2. Momentum (ROC) accelerates → price moves faster than usual
3. Volume rises above average → more participants join the move
This combination signals a transition from equilibrium to collective emotional action —
a moment when trends or reversals often begin.
Rocket Scan – Midday Movers (No Pullback)This indicator is designed to spot intraday breakout movers that often appear after the market open — the ones that rip out of nowhere and cause FOMO if you’re late.
🔑 Core Logic
• Momentum Burst: Detects sudden price pops (ROC) with confirming relative volume.
• Squeeze → Breakout: Finds low-volatility compressions (tight Bollinger bandwidth) and flags the first breakout move.
• VWAP Reclaims: Highlights strong reversals when price reclaims VWAP on volume.
• Relative Volume (RVOL): Filters for unusual activity vs. recent averages.
• Gap Filter: Skips large overnight gappers, focuses on fresh intraday movers.
• Relative Strength: Optional filter requiring the symbol to outperform SPY (and sector ETF if chosen).
• Session Window: Default 10:30–15:30 ET to ignore noisy open action and catch true midday moves.
🎯 Use Case
• Built for traders who want early alerts on midday runners without waiting for pullbacks.
• Helps identify potential entry points before FOMO kicks in.
• Works best on liquid tickers (stocks, ETFs, crypto) with reliable intraday volume.
📊 Visuals
• Plots fast EMA, slow EMA, and VWAP for trend context.
• Paints green ▲ for long signals and red ▼ for short signals on the chart.
• Info label shows RVOL, ROC, RS filter status, and gap conditions.
🚨 Alerts
Two alert conditions included:
• Rocket: Midday LONG → Fires when bullish conditions align.
• Rocket: Midday SHORT → Fires when bearish conditions align.

Katz Impact Wave 🚀Overview of the Katz Impact Wave 🚀
The Katz Impact Wave is a momentum oscillator designed to visualize the battle between buyers and sellers. Instead of combining bullish and bearish pressure into a single line, it separates them into two distinct "Impact Waves."
Its primary goal is to generate clear trade signals by identifying when one side gains control, but only when the market has enough volatility to be considered "moving." This built-in filter helps to avoid signals during flat or choppy market conditions.
Indicator Components: Lines & Plots
Impact Waves & Fill
Green Wave (Total Up Impulses): This line represents the cumulative buying pressure. When this line is rising, it indicates that bulls are getting stronger.
Red Wave (Total Down Impulses): This line represents the cumulative selling pressure. When this line is rising, it indicates that bears are getting stronger.
Colored Fill: The shaded area between the two waves provides an at-a-glance view of who is in control.
Lime Fill: Bulls are dominant (Green Wave is above the Red Wave).
Red Fill: Bears are dominant (Red Wave is above the Green Wave).
Background Color
The background color provides crucial context about the market state according to the indicator's logic.
Green Background: The market is in a bullish state (Green Wave is dominant) AND the Rate of Change (ROC) filter confirms the market is actively moving.
Red Background: The market is in a bearish state (Red Wave is dominant) AND the ROC filter confirms the market is actively moving.
Gray Background: The market is considered "not moving" or is in a low-volatility chop. Signals that occur when the background is gray should be viewed with extreme caution or ignored.
Symbols & Pivot Lines
▲ Blue Triangle (Up): This is your long entry signal. It appears on the bar where the Green Wave crosses above the Red Wave while the market is moving.
▼ Orange Triangle (Down): This is your short entry signal. It appears on the bar where the Red Wave crosses above the Green Wave while the market is moving.
Pivot Lines (Solid Green/Red/White Lines): These lines mark confirmed peaks of exhaustion in momentum, not price.
Green Pivot Line: Marks a peak in the Green Wave, signaling buying momentum exhaustion. This can be a warning that the uptrend is losing steam.
Red Pivot Line: Marks a peak in the Red Wave, signaling selling momentum exhaustion. This can be a warning that the downtrend is losing steam.
▼ Yellow Triangle (Compression): This rare signal appears when buying and selling exhaustion pivots happen at the same level. It signifies a point of extreme indecision or equilibrium that often occurs before a major price expansion.
Trading Rules & Strategy
This indicator provides entry signals but does not provide explicit Take Profit or Stop Loss levels. You must use your own risk management rules.
Long Trade Rules
Entry Signal: Wait for a blue ▲ triangle to appear at the top of the indicator panel.
Confirmation: Ensure the background color is green, confirming the market is in a bullish, moving state.
Action: Enter a long (buy) trade at the open of the next candle after the signal appears.
Short Trade Rules
Entry Signal: Wait for an orange ▼ triangle to appear at the bottom of the indicator panel.
Confirmation: Ensure the background color is red, confirming the market is in a bearish, moving state.
Action: Enter a short (sell) trade at the open of the next candle after the signal appears.
Take Profit (TP) & Stop Loss (SL) Ideas
You must develop and test your own exit strategy. Here are some common approaches:
Stop Loss:
Place a stop loss below the most recent significant swing low on the price chart for a long trade, or above the recent swing high for a short trade.
Use an ATR (Average True Range) based stop, such as 2x the ATR value below your entry for a long, to account for market volatility.
Take Profit:
Opposite Signal: The simplest exit is to close your trade when the opposite signal appears (e.g., close a long trade when a short signal ▼ appears).
Momentum Exhaustion: For a long trade, consider taking partial or full profit when a green Pivot Line appears, signaling that buying momentum is peaking.
Fixed Risk/Reward: Use a predetermined risk/reward ratio (e.g., 1:1.5 or 1:2).
Disclaimer
This indicator is a tool for analysis, not a financial advisor or a guaranteed profit system. All trading and investment activities involve substantial risk. You should not risk more than you are prepared to lose. Past performance is not an indication of future results. You are solely responsible for your own trading decisions, risk management, and for backtesting this or any other tool before using it in a live trading environment.

HMK-2 | PCA-1 + Rejim + Chebyshev + VWAP (Input'lu, v6)📌 HMK-2 | PCA-1 + Regime + Chebyshev + VWAP Strategy
1️⃣ Core Structure
Instead of relying on a single indicator, this system uses the Z-Score normalized average of three oscillators (RSI, MFI, ROC).
Signal (PCA-1):
RSI(14), MFI(14), ROC(5) → each is converted into a z-score.
Their average becomes the “composite signal,” our PCA-1 value.
Trend direction: If the Z-score EMA is rising → trend UP. If falling → trend DOWN.
2️⃣ Side Filters
Regime Filter (ADX + EMA)
ADX is calculated manually.
If ADX > 20 → trend exists → a 50-period EMA of this value smooths it.
This turns “trend regime” into a probability between 0–1.
Chebyshev Filter
A return series is checked against mean ± k*sigma bands.
If the return is within this band → valid signal. Extreme moves are filtered out.
VWAP Filter
Long trades: price must be above VWAP.
Short trades: price must be below VWAP.
Trades are only taken on the correct side of institutional cost averages.
3️⃣ Entry Conditions
Long:
PCA-1 signal crosses above threshold.
Trend Up + Regime OK + Chebyshev OK + Above VWAP.
Short:
PCA-1 signal crosses below threshold.
Trend Down + Regime OK + Chebyshev OK + Below VWAP.
4️⃣ Exit Mechanism
Main Exit: ATR-based stop/target.
Stop = entry price – ATR × (SL factor).
Take profit = entry price + ATR × (TP factor).
Additional Exit:
If price crosses to the opposite side of VWAP.
If PCA-1 signal crosses zero.
👉 Prevents trades from being locked, makes exits adaptive.
5️⃣ Labels / Visualization
AL / SHORT → entry points.
SAT / COVER → exit points.
VWAP line plotted in blue.
🧩 Strategy Features
Optimizable parameters:
Z-window (zWin)
Threshold
Chebyshev factor
ATR stop/target multipliers
This system works with:
Disciplined core (PCA-1 signal)
Triple protection (Regime + Chebyshev + VWAP)
Adaptive exits (ATR + VWAP/signal cross)
👉 Not a “single-indicator robot,” but a multi-filtered trade direction engine.
💡 Final Note
This is a base model of the system — open for further development.
I’ve shared the logic to give you a roadmap.
If you spot errors, fix them → that’s how you’ll improve it.
Don’t waste time asking me questions — refine and build it better yourselves.
Wishing you profitable trades. Stay well 🙏

FluidFlow OscillatorFluidFlow Oscillator: Study Material for Traders
Overview
The FluidFlow Oscillator is a custom technical indicator designed to measure price momentum and market flow dynamics by simulating fluid motion concepts such as velocity, viscosity, and turbulence. It helps traders identify potential buy and sell signals along with trend strength, momentum direction, and volatility conditions.
This study explains the underlying calculation concepts, signal logic, visual cues, and how to interpret the professional dashboard table that summarizes key indicator readings.
________________________________________
How the FluidFlow Oscillator Works
Core Mechanisms
1. Price Flow Velocity
o Measures the rate of change of price over a specified flow length (default 40 bars).
o Calculated as a percentage change of closing price: roc=close−closelen_flowcloselen_flow×100\text{roc} = \frac{\text{close} - \text{close}_{len\_flow}}{\text{close}_{len\_flow}} \times 100roc=closelen_flowclose−closelen_flow×100
o Smoothed by an EMA (Exponential Moving Average) to reduce noise, generating a "flow velocity" value.
2. Viscosity Factor
o Analogous to fluid viscosity, it adjusts the flow velocity based on recent price volatility.
o Volatility is computed as the standard deviation of close prices over the flow length.
o The viscosity acts as a damping factor to slow down the flow velocity in highly volatile conditions.
o This results in a "flow with viscosity" value, that smooths out the velocity considering market turbulence.
3. Turbulence Burst
o Captures sudden changes or bursts in the flow by measuring changes between successive viscosity-adjusted flows.
o The turbulence value is a smoothed absolute change in flow.
o A burst boost factor is added to the oscillator to incorporate this rapid change component, amplifying signals during sudden shifts.
4. Oscillator Calculation
o The raw oscillator value is the sum of flow with viscosity plus burst boost, scaled by 10.
o Clamped between -100 and +100 to limit extremes.
o Finally, smoothed again by EMA for cleaner visualization.
________________________________________
Signal Logic
The oscillator works with complementary components to produce actionable signals:
• Signal Line: An EMA-smoothed version of the oscillator for generating crossover-based signals.
• Momentum: The rate of change of the oscillator itself, smoothed by EMA.
• Trend: Uses fast (21-period EMA) and slow (50-period EMA) moving averages of price to identify market trend direction (uptrend, downtrend, or sideways).
Signal Conditions
• Bullish Signal (Buy): Oscillator crosses above the oversold threshold with positive momentum.
• Bearish Signal (Sell): Oscillator crosses below the overbought threshold with negative momentum.
Statuses
The oscillator provides descriptive market states based on level and momentum:
• Overbought
• Oversold
• Buy Signal
• Sell Signal
• Bullish / Bearish (momentum-driven)
• Neutral (no clear trend)
________________________________________
Color System and Visualization
The oscillator uses a sophisticated HSV color model adapting hues according to:
• Oscillator value magnitude and sign (positive or negative)
• Acceleration of oscillator changes
• Smooth color gradients to facilitate intuitive understanding of trend strength and momentum shifts
Background colors highlight overbought (red tint) and oversold (green tint) zones with transparency.
________________________________________
How to Understand the Professional Dashboard Table
The FluidFlow Oscillator offers an integrated table at the bottom center of the chart. This dashboard summarizes critical indicator readings in 8 columns across 3 rows:
Column Description
SIGNAL Current signal status (e.g., Buy, Sell, Overbought) with color coding
OSCILLATOR Current oscillator value (-100 to +100) with color reflecting intensity and direction
MOMENTUM Momentum bias indicating strength/direction of oscillator changes (Strong Up, Up, Sideways, Down, Strong Down)
TREND Current trend status based on EMAs (Strong Uptrend, Uptrend, Sideways, Downtrend, Strong Downtrend)
VOLATILITY Volatility percentage relative to average, indicating market activity level
FLOW Flow velocity value describing price momentum magnitude and direction
TURBULENCE Turbulence level indicating sudden bursts or spikes in price movement
PROGRESS Oscillator's position mapped as a percentage (0% to 100%) showing proximity to extreme levels
Rows Explained
• Row 1 (Header): Labels for each metric.
• Row 2 (Values): Current numerical or descriptive values color-coded along a professional scheme:
o Green or lime tones indicate positive or bullish conditions.
o Red or orange tones indicate caution, sell signals, or bearish conditions.
o Blue tones indicate neutral or stable conditions.
• Row 3 (Status Indicators): Emoji-like icons and bars provide a quick visual gauge of each metric's intensity or signal strength:
o For example, "🟢🟢🟢" suggests very strong bullish momentum, while "🔴🔴🔴" suggests strong bearish momentum.
o Progress bar visually demonstrates oscillator movement toward oversold or overbought extremes.
________________________________________
Practical Interpretation Tips
• A Buy signal with green colors and strong momentum usually precedes upward price moves.
• An Overbought status with red background and red table colors warns of potential price corrections or reversals.
• Watch the Turbulence to gauge market instability; spikes may precede price shocks or volatility bursts.
• Confirm signals with the Trend and Momentum columns to avoid false entries.
• Use the Progress bar to anticipate oscillations approaching key threshold levels for timing trades.
________________________________________
Alerts
The oscillator supports alerts for:
• Buy and sell signals based on oscillator crossovers.
• Overbought and oversold levels reached.
These help traders automate awareness of important market conditions.

Chart-Only Scanner — Pro Table v2.5.1Chart-Only Scanner — Pro Table v2.5
User Manual (Pine Script v6)
What this tool does (in one line)
A compact, on-chart table that scores the current chart symbol (or an optional override) using momentum, volume, trend, volatility, and pattern checks—so you can quickly decide UP, DOWN, or WAIT.
Quick Start (90 seconds)
Add the indicator to any chart and timeframe (1m…1M).
Leave “Override chart symbol” = OFF to auto-use the chart’s symbol.
Choose your layout:
Row (wide horizontal strip), or Grid (title + labeled cells).
Pick a size preset (Micro, Small, Medium, Large, Mobile).
Optional: turn on “Use Higher TF (EMA 20/50)” and set HTF Multiplier (e.g., 4 ⇒ if chart is 15m, HTF is 60m).
Watch the table:
DIR (↑/↓/→), ROC%, MOM, VOL, EMA stack, HTF, REV, SCORE, ACT.
Add an alert if you want: the script fires when |SCORE| ≥ Action threshold.
What to expect
A small table appears on the chart corner you choose, updating each bar (or only at bar close if you keep default smart-update).
The ACT cell shows 🔥 (strong), 👀 (medium), or ⏳ (weak).
Panels & Settings (every option explained)
Core
Momentum Period: Lookback for rate-of-change (ROC%). Shorter = more reactive; longer = smoother.
ROC% Threshold: Minimum absolute ROC% to call direction UP (↑) or DOWN (↓); otherwise →.
Require Volume Confirmation: If ON and VOL ≤ 1.0, the SCORE is forced to 0 (prevents low-volume false positives).
Override chart symbol + Custom symbol: By default, the indicator uses the chart’s symbol. Turn this ON to lock to a specific ticker (e.g., a perpetual).
Higher TF
Use Higher TF (EMA 20/50): Compares EMA20 vs EMA50 on a higher timeframe.
HTF Multiplier: Higher TF = (chart TF × multiplier).
Example: on 3H chart with multiplier 2 ⇒ HTF = 6H.
Volatility & Oscillators
ATR Length: Used to show ATR% (ATR relative to price).
RSI Length: Standard RSI; colors: green ≤30 (oversold), red ≥70 (overbought).
Stoch %K Length: With %D = SMA(%K, 3).
MACD Fast/Slow/Signal: Standard MACD values; we display Line, Signal, Histogram (L/S/H).
ADX Length (Wilder): Wilder’s smoothing (internal derivation); also shows +DI / −DI if you enable the ADX column.
EMAs / Trend
EMA Fast/Mid/Slow: We compute EMA(20/50/200) by default (editable).
EMA Stack: Bull if Fast > Mid > Slow; Bear if Fast < Mid < Slow; Flat otherwise.
Benchmark (optional, OFF by default)
Show Relative Strength vs Benchmark: Displays RS% = ROC(symbol) − ROC(benchmark) over the Momentum Period.
Benchmark Symbol: Ticker used for comparison (e.g., BTCUSDT as a market proxy).
Columns (show/hide)
Toggle which fields appear in the table. Hiding unused fields keeps the layout clean (especially on mobile).
Display
Layout Mode:
Row = a single two-row strip; each column is a metric.
Grid = a title row plus labeled pairs (label/value) arranged in rows.
Size Preset: Micro, Small, Medium, Large, Mobile change text size and the grid density.
Table Corner: Where the panel sits (e.g., Top Right).
Opaque Table Background: ON = dark card; OFF = transparent(ish).
Update Every Bar: ON = update intra-bar; OFF = smart update (last bar / real-time / confirmed history).
Action threshold (|score|): The cutoff for 🔥 and alert firing (default 70).
How to read each field
CHART: The active symbol name (or your custom override).
DIR: ↑ (ROC% > threshold), ↓ (ROC% < −threshold), → otherwise.
ROC%: Rate of change over Momentum Period.
Formula: (Close − Close ) / Close × 100.
MOM: A scaled momentum score: min(100, |ROC%| × 10).
VOL: Volume ratio vs 20-bar SMA: Volume / SMA(Volume,20).
1.5 highlights as yellow (significant participation).
ATR%: (ATR / Close) × 100 (volatility relative to price).
RSI: Colored for extremes: ≤30 green, ≥70 red.
Stoch K/D: %K and %D numbers.
MACD L/S/H: Line, Signal, Histogram. Histogram color reflects sign (green > 0, red < 0).
ADX, +DI, −DI: Trend strength and directional components (Wilder). ADX ≥ 25 is highlighted.
EMA 20/50/200: Current EMA values (editable lengths).
STACK: Bull/Bear/Flat as defined above.
VWAP%: (Close − VWAP) / Close × 100 (premium/discount to VWAP).
HTF: ▲ if HTF EMA20 > EMA50; ▼ if <; · if flat/off.
RS%: Symbol’s ROC% − Benchmark ROC% (positive = outperforming).
REV (reversal):
🟢 Eng/Pin = bullish engulfing or bullish pin detected,
🔴 Eng/Pin = bearish engulfing or bearish pin,
· = none.
SCORE (absolute shown as a number; sign shown via DIR and ACT):
Components:
base = MOM × 0.4
volBonus = VOL > 1.5 ? 20 : VOL × 13.33
htfBonus = use_mtf ? (HTF == DIR ? 30 : HTF == 0 ? 15 : 0) : 0
trendBonus = (STACK == DIR) ? 10 : 0
macdBonus = 0 (placeholder for future versions)
scoreRaw = base + volBonus + htfBonus + trendBonus + macdBonus
SCORE = DIR ≥ 0 ? scoreRaw : −scoreRaw
If Require Volume Confirmation and VOL ≤ 1.0 ⇒ SCORE = 0.
ACT:
🔥 if |SCORE| ≥ threshold
👀 if 50 < |SCORE| < threshold
⏳ otherwise
Practical examples
Strong long (trend + participation)
DIR = ↑, ROC% = +3.2, MOM ≈ 32, VOL = 1.9, STACK = Bull, HTF = ▲, REV = 🟢
SCORE: base(12.8) + volBonus(20) + htfBonus(30) + trend(10) ≈ 73 → ACT = 🔥
Action idea: look for longs on pullbacks; confirm risk with ATR%.
Weak long (no volume)
DIR = ↑, ROC% = +1.0, but VOL = 0.8 and Require Volume Confirmation = ON
SCORE forced to 0 → ACT = ⏳
Action: wait for volume > 1.0 or turn off confirmation knowingly.
Bearish reversal warning
DIR = →, REV = 🔴 (bearish engulfing), RSI = 68, HTF = ▼
SCORE may be mid-range; ACT = 👀
Action: watch for breakdown and rising VOL.
Alerts (how to use)
The script calls alert() whenever |SCORE| ≥ Action threshold.
To receive pop-ups, sounds, or emails: click “⏰ Alerts” in TradingView, choose this indicator, and pick “Any alert() function call.”
The alert message includes: symbol, |SCORE|, DIR.
Layout, Size, and Corner tips
Row is best when you want a compact status ribbon across the top.
Grid is clearer on big screens or when you enable many columns.
Size:
Mobile = one pair per row (tall, readable)
Micro/Small = dense; good for many fields
Large = presentation/screenshots
Corner: If the table overlaps price, change the corner or set Opaque Background = OFF.
Repaint & timeframe behavior
Default smart update prefers stability (last bar / live / confirmed history).
For a stricter, “close-only” behavior (less repaint): turn Update Every Bar = OFF and avoid Heikin Ashi when you want raw market OHLC (HA modifies price inputs).
HTF logic is derived from a clean, integer multiple of your chart timeframe (via multiplier). It works with 3H/4H and any TF.
Performance notes
The script analyzes one symbol (chart or override) with multiple metrics using efficient tuple requests.
If you later want a multi-symbol grid, do it with pages (10–15 per page + rotate) to stay within platform limits (recommended future add-on).
Troubleshooting
No table visible
Ensure the indicator is added and not hidden.
Try toggling Opaque Background or switch Corner (it might be behind other drawings).
Keep Columns count reasonable for the chosen Size.
If you turned ON Override, verify the Custom symbol exists on your data provider.
Numbers look different on HA candles
Heikin Ashi modifies OHLC; switch to regular candles if you need raw price metrics.
3H/4H issues
Use integer HTF Multiplier (e.g., 2, 4). The tool builds the correct string internally; no manual timeframe strings needed.
Power user tips
Volume gating: keeping Require Volume Confirmation = ON filters most fake moves; if you’re a scalper, reduce strictness or turn it off.
Action threshold: 60–80 is typical. Higher = fewer but stronger signals.
Benchmark RS%: great for spotting leaders/laggards; positive RS% = outperformance vs benchmark.
Change policy & safety
This version doesn’t alter your historical logic you tested (no radical changes).
Any future “radical” change (score weights, HTF logic, UI hiding data) will ship with a toggle and an Impact Statement so you can keep old behavior if you prefer.
Glossary (quick)
ROC%: Percent change over N bars.
MOM: Scaled momentum (0–100).
VOL ratio: Volume vs 20-bar average.
ATR%: ATR as % of price.
ADX/DI: Trend strength / direction components (Wilder).
EMA stack: Relationship between EMAs (bullish/bearish/flat).
VWAP%: Premium/discount to VWAP.
RS%: Relative strength vs benchmark.
Crypto Macro CockpitCrypto Macro Cockpit — Institutional Liquidity Regime Detection
🔍 Overview
This script introduces a modern macro framework for crypto market regime detection, leveraging newly added stablecoin market data on TradingView. It’s designed to guide traders through the evolving institutional era of crypto — where liquidity, not just price, is king.
🌐 Why This Matters
Historically, traditional proxies like M2 money supply or bond yields were referenced to infer macro liquidity shifts. But with the regulatory green light and institutional embrace of stablecoins, on-chain fiat liquidity is now directly observable.
Stablecoins = The new M2 for crypto.
This script utilizes real-time data from:
📊 CRYPTOCAP:STABLE.C (Total Stablecoin Market Cap)
📊 CRYPTOCAP:STABLE.C.D (Stablecoin Dominance)
to assess dry powder, risk appetite, and macro regime transitions.
📋 How to Read the Crypto Macro Cockpit
This dashboard updates every few bars and is organized into four actionable segments:
1️⃣ Macro Spreads
Metric --> Interpretation
Risk Flow --> Measures capital flow between stablecoins and total crypto market cap. → Green = risk deploying.
ETH vs BTC --> Shift in dominance between ETH and BTC → rotation gauge.
ETHBTC --> Price ratio movement → confirms leadership tilt.
ALTs (TOTAL3ES) --> Momentum in altcoin market, excluding BTC/ETH/stables → key for alt season timing.
2️⃣ Liquidity & Risk Appetite
Metric --> Interpretation
Liquidity --> Directional change in stablecoin cap → more stables = more dry powder.
Risk Appetite --> Inverse of stablecoin dominance → falling dominance = capital rotating into risk.
3️⃣ Stablecoin Context
Metric --> Interpretation
StableCap ROC --> Growth rate of stablecoin market cap → proxy for fiat inflows.
StableDom ROC --> Change in stablecoin dominance → reflects market caution or aggression.
4️⃣ Composite Labels
Label --> Interpretation
Rotation --> Sector tilt (BTC-led vs ETH/Alts)
Regime --> Synthesized macro environment → "Risk-ON", "Caution", "Waiting", or "Risk-OFF"
Background Color --> Optional tint reflecting regime for quick glance validation
All metrics are evaluated with directional arrows (▲/▼/•) and acceleration overlays, using user-defined thresholds scaled by timeframe for precision.
🔔 Built-in Alerts
Predefined, non-repainting alerts include:
Regime transitions
Sector rotations
Confirmed ETH/ALT rotations
Stablecoin market cap spikes
Risk Flow acceleration
You can use these alerts for discretionary trading or automated system triggers.
