Hilly's 0010110 Reversal Scalping Strategy - 5 Min CandlesKey Features and Rationale:
Timeframe: Restricted to 5-minute candles as requested.
Pattern Integration: Includes single (Hammer, Shooting Star, Doji), two (Engulfing, Harami), and three-plus (Morning Star, Evening Star) candlestick patterns, plus reversal patterns based on RSI extremes.
VWAP Cross: Incorporates bullish (price crosses above VWAP) and bearish (price crosses below VWAP) signals, enhanced by trend context.
Volume Analysis: Uses a volume spike threshold to filter noise, with a simple day-start volume comparison for financial environment context.
Financial Environment: Approximates the day's sentiment using early-hour volume compared to current volume, adjusted by trend.
Aggregation: Scores each condition (e.g., 1 for basic patterns, 2 for strong patterns like Engulfing, 3 for three-candle patterns) and decides based on weighted consensus, with trendStrength as a tunable threshold.
Risky Approach: Minimal filtering and a low trendStrength (default 0.5) allow frequent signals, aligning with your $100-to-$200 goal, but expect higher risk.
Suggested Inputs:
EMA Length: 10 (short enough for 5-minute sensitivity).
VWAP Lookback: 1 (uses current session VWAP).
Volume Threshold Multiplier: 1.2 (moderate spike requirement).
RSI Length: 14 (standard, adjustable to 7 for more sensitivity).
Trend Strength Threshold: 0.5 (balance between signals; lower to 0.4 for more trades, raise to 0.6 for fewer).
Multiple Colored Moving AveragesMULTIPLE COLORED MOVING AVERAGES - USER GUIDE
DISCLAIMER
----------
Both the code and this documentation were created heavily using artificial intelligence. I'm lazy...
This indicator was inspired by repo32's "Moving Average Colored EMA/SMA" indicator. *
What is this indicator?
-----------------------
This is a TradingView indicator that displays up to 4 different moving averages on your chart simultaneously. Each moving average can be customized with different calculation methods, colors, and filtering options.
Why would I use multiple moving averages?
-----------------------------------------
- See trend direction across different timeframes at once
- Identify support and resistance levels
- Spot crossover signals between fast and slow MAs
- Reduce false signals with filtering options
- Compare how different MA types react to price action
What moving average types are available?
----------------------------------------
11 different types:
- SMA: Simple average, equal weight to all periods
- EMA: Exponential, more weight to recent prices
- WMA: Weighted, linear weighting toward recent data
- RMA: Running average, smooth like EMA
- DEMA: Double exponential, reduced lag
- TEMA: Triple exponential, even less lag
- HMA: Hull, fast and smooth combination
- VWMA: Volume weighted, includes volume data
- LSMA: Least squares, based on linear regression
- TMA: Triangular, double-smoothed
- ZLEMA: Zero lag exponential, compensated for lag
How do I set up the indicator?
------------------------------
Each MA has these settings:
- Enable/Disable: Turn each MA on or off
- Type: Choose from the 11 calculation methods
- Length: Number of periods (21, 50, 100, 200 are common)
- Smoothing: 0-10 levels of extra smoothing
- Noise Filter: 0-5% to ignore small changes
- Colors: Bullish (rising) and bearish (falling) colors
- Line Width: 1-5 pixels thickness
What does the smoothing feature do?
-----------------------------------
Smoothing applies extra calculations to make the moving average line smoother. Higher levels reduce noise but make the MA respond slower to price changes. Use higher smoothing in choppy markets, lower smoothing in trending markets.
What is the noise filter?
--------------------------
The noise filter ignores small percentage changes in the moving average. For example, a 0.3% filter will ignore any MA movement smaller than 0.3%. This helps eliminate false signals from minor price fluctuations.
When should I use this indicator?
---------------------------------
- Trend analysis: See if market is going up, down, or sideways
- Entry timing: Look for price bounces off MA levels
- Exit signals: Watch for MA slope changes or crossovers
- Support/resistance: MAs often act as dynamic levels
- Multi-timeframe analysis: Use different lengths for different perspectives
What are some good settings to start with?
-------------------------------------------
Conservative approach:
- MA 1: EMA 21 (short-term trend)
- MA 2: SMA 50 (medium-term trend)
- MA 3: SMA 200 (long-term trend)
- Low noise filtering (0.1-0.3%)
Active trading:
- MA 1: HMA 9 (very responsive)
- MA 2: EMA 21 (short-term)
- MA 3: EMA 50 (medium-term)
- Minimal or no smoothing
How do I interpret the colors?
------------------------------
Each MA changes color based on its direction:
- Bullish color: MA is rising (upward trend)
- Bearish color: MA is falling (downward trend)
- Gray: MA is flat or unchanged
What should I look for in crossovers?
-------------------------------------
- Golden Cross: Fast MA crosses above slow MA (bullish signal)
- Death Cross: Fast MA crosses below slow MA (bearish signal)
- Multiple crossovers in same direction can confirm trend changes
- Wait for clear separation between MAs after crossover
How do I use MAs for support and resistance?
---------------------------------------------
- In uptrends: MAs often provide support when price pulls back
- In downtrends: MAs may act as resistance on rallies
- Multiple MAs create support/resistance zones
- Stronger levels where multiple MAs cluster together
Can I use this with other indicators?
-------------------------------------
Yes, it works well with:
- Volume indicators for confirmation
- RSI or MACD for timing entries
- Bollinger Bands for volatility context
- Price action patterns for setup confirmation
What if I get too many signals?
-------------------------------
- Increase smoothing levels
- Raise noise filter percentages
- Use longer MA periods
- Focus on major crossovers only
- Wait for multiple MA confirmation
What if signals are too slow?
-----------------------------
- Reduce smoothing to 0
- Lower noise filter values
- Switch to faster MA types (HMA, ZLEMA, DEMA)
- Use shorter periods
- Focus on the fastest MA only
Which MA types work best in different markets?
----------------------------------------------
Trending markets: EMA, DEMA, TEMA (responsive to trends)
Choppy markets: SMA, TMA, HMA with smoothing (less whipsaws)
High volatility: Use higher smoothing and noise filtering
Low volatility: Use minimal filtering for better responsiveness
Do I need all the advanced features?
------------------------------------
No. Start with basic settings:
- Choose MA type and length
- Set colors you prefer
- Leave smoothing at 0
- Leave noise filter at 0
Add complexity only if needed to improve signal quality.
How do I know if my settings are working?
-----------------------------------------
- Backtest on historical data
- Paper trade the signals first
- Adjust based on market conditions
- Keep a trading journal to track performance
- Be willing to modify settings as markets change
Can I save different configurations?
------------------------------------
Yes, save different indicator templates in TradingView for:
- Different trading styles (scalping, swing trading)
- Different market conditions (trending, ranging)
- Different instruments (stocks, forex, crypto)
Market Order Risk CalculatorObviously the Long/Short Position tool does this, but when you are scalping, 10 - 15 seconds matters. What matters more than that is defined risk, you dont want your losses being scattered, 300 here 145 there, you want consistent risk to have consistent data.
What this does is when you are framing a trade, it provides a hands off tool that tells you exactly how many contracts to enter with, that way if you have bracket orders on, your stop will be exactly where you want it to be without going over your defined risk.
Information Flow Analysis[b🔄 Information Flow Analysis: Systematic Multi-Component Market Analysis Framework
SYSTEM OVERVIEW AND ANALYTICAL FOUNDATION
The Information Flow Kernel - Hybrid combines established technical analysis methods into a unified analytical framework. This indicator systematically processes three distinct data streams - directional price momentum, volume-weighted pressure dynamics, and intrabar development patterns - integrating them through weighted mathematical fusion to produce statistically normalized market flow measurements.
COMPREHENSIVE MATHEMATICAL FRAMEWORK
Component 1: Directional Flow Analysis
The directional component analyzes price momentum through three mathematical vectors:
Price Vector: p = C - O (intrabar directional bias)
Momentum Vector: m = C_t - C_{t-1} (bar-to-bar velocity)
Acceleration Vector: a = m_t - m_{t-1} (momentum rate of change)
Directional Signal Integration:
S_d = \text{sgn}(p) \cdot |p| + \text{sgn}(m) \cdot |m| \cdot 0.6 + \text{sgn}(a) \cdot |a| \cdot 0.3
The signum function preserves directional information while absolute values provide magnitude weighting. Coefficients create a hierarchy emphasizing intrabar movement (100%), momentum (60%), and acceleration (30%).
Final Directional Output: K_1 = S_d \cdot w_d where w_d is the directional weight parameter.
Component 2: Volume-Weighted Pressure Analysis
Volume Normalization: r_v = \frac{V_t}{\overline{V_n}} where \overline{V_n} represents the n-period simple moving average of volume.
Base Pressure Calculation: P_{base} = \Delta C \cdot r_v \cdot w_v where \Delta C = C_t - C_{t-1} and w_v is the velocity weighting factor.
Volume Confirmation Function:
f(r_v) = \begin{cases}
1.4 & \text{if } r_v > 1.2 \
0.7 & \text{if } r_v < 0.8 \
1.0 & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}
Final Pressure Output: K_2 = P_{base} \cdot f(r_v)
Component 3: Intrabar Development Analysis
Bar Position Calculation: B = \frac{C - L}{H - L} when H - L > 0 , else B = 0.5
Development Signal Function:
S_{dev} = \begin{cases}
2(B - 0.5) & \text{if } B > 0.6 \text{ or } B < 0.4 \
0 & \text{if } 0.4 \leq B \leq 0.6
\end{cases}
Final Development Output: K_3 = S_{dev} \cdot 0.4
Master Integration and Statistical Normalization
Weighted Component Fusion: F_{raw} = 0.5K_1 + 0.35K_2 + 0.15K_3
Sensitivity Scaling: F_{master} = F_{raw} \cdot s where s is the sensitivity parameter.
Statistical Normalization Process:
Rolling Mean: \mu_F = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} F_{master,t-i}
Rolling Standard Deviation: \sigma_F = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} (F_{master,t-i} - \mu_F)^2}
Z-Score Computation: z = \frac{F_{master} - \mu_F}{\sigma_F}
Boundary Enforcement: z_{bounded} = \max(-3, \min(3, z))
Final Normalization: N = \frac{z_{bounded}}{3}
Flow Metrics Calculation:
Intensity: I = |z|
Strength Percentage: S = \min(100, I \times 33.33)
Extreme Detection: \text{Extreme} = I > 2.0
DETAILED INPUT PARAMETER SPECIFICATIONS
Sensitivity (0.1 - 3.0, Default: 1.0)
Global amplification multiplier applied to the master flow calculation. Functions as: F_{master} = F_{raw} \cdot s
Low Settings (0.1 - 0.5): Enhanced precision for subtle market movements. Optimal for low-volatility environments, scalping strategies, and early detection of minor directional shifts. Increases responsiveness but may amplify noise.
Moderate Settings (0.6 - 1.2): Balanced sensitivity for standard market conditions across multiple timeframes.
High Settings (1.3 - 3.0): Reduced sensitivity to minor fluctuations while emphasizing significant flow changes. Ideal for high-volatility assets, trending markets, and longer timeframes.
Directional Weighting (0.1 - 1.0, Default: 0.7)
Controls emphasis on price direction versus volume and positioning factors. Applied as: K_{1,weighted} = K_1 \times w_d
Lower Values (0.1 - 0.4): Reduces directional bias, favoring volume-confirmed moves. Optimal for ranging markets where momentum may generate false signals.
Higher Values (0.7 - 1.0): Amplifies directional signals from price vectors and acceleration. Ideal for trending conditions where directional momentum drives price action.
Velocity Weighting (0.1 - 1.0, Default: 0.6)
Scales volume-confirmed price change impact. Applied in: P_{base} = \Delta C \times r_v \times w_v
Lower Values (0.1 - 0.4): Dampens volume spike influence, focusing on sustained pressure patterns. Suitable for illiquid assets or news-sensitive markets.
Higher Values (0.8 - 1.0): Amplifies high-volume directional moves. Optimal for liquid markets where volume provides reliable confirmation.
Volume Length (3 - 20, Default: 5)
Defines lookback period for volume averaging: \overline{V_n} = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} V_{t-i}
Short Periods (3 - 7): Responsive to recent volume shifts, excellent for intraday analysis.
Long Periods (13 - 20): Smoother averaging, better for swing trading and higher timeframes.

Range Identification: Low intensity with neutral flow ( S < 33%, |N| < 0.3 ) suggests ranging market conditions suitable for mean reversion strategies.
Volatility Assessment: High intensity without clear directional bias indicates elevated volatility with conflicting pressures.
Integration with Trading Systems
The normalized output range facilitates integration with automated trading systems and position sizing algorithms. The statistical basis provides consistent interpretation across different market conditions and asset classes.
LIMITATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
This indicator combines established technical analysis methods and processes historical data without predicting future price movements. The system performs optimally in liquid markets with consistent volume patterns and may produce false signals in thin trading conditions or during news-driven market events. This indicator is provided for educational and analytical purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Users should combine this analysis with proper risk management, position sizing, and additional confirmation methods before making any trading decisions. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Note: The term "kernel" in this context refers to modular calculation components rather than mathematical kernel functions in the formal computational sense.

Strong candles in trend direction usually come from institutional money (banks, funds, algorithms). These create the momentum that retail traders can follow. The indicator catches these institutional moves.
3. Distance to Next Value Level
NEVER enter if price is too close to major resistance/support levels:
- Check distance to round numbers (1.1000, 1.1050, etc.)
- Ensure at least 20-30 pips room to next key level
- You need space for profit - tight levels = limited upside
4. Risk Management
- Stop Loss: 1-2 ATR from entry
- Take Profit: 2-3 ATR target (minimum 1:2 R/R)
- Position Size: Risk max 1-2% per trade
## 💡 Pro Tips
- Best Sessions: London open (8-12 UTC) and NY open (13-17 UTC)
- Avoid: Major news, low liquidity periods, choppy markets

- Value Levels: Always check daily/weekly support/resistance before entering
## 🎯 Success Formula
Trend Confirmation + Strong Institutional Candle + Distance to Value Levels = High Probability Trade
*
Remember: The indicator finds the signals, but successful trading requires your analysis of trend context and value level positioning. Trade smart, not just frequent.
RSI Trend Navigator [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The RSI Trend Navigator integrates RSI momentum calculations with adaptive exponential moving averages and ATR-based volatility bands to generate trend-following signals. The indicator applies variable smoothing coefficients based on RSI readings and incorporates normalized momentum adjustments to position a trend line that responds to both price action and underlying momentum conditions.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator begins by calculating and smoothing the RSI to reduce short-term fluctuations while preserving momentum information:
rsiValue = ta.rsi(source, rsiPeriod)
smoothedRSI = ta.ema(rsiValue, rsiSmoothing)
normalizedRSI = (smoothedRSI - 50) / 50
It then creates an adaptive smoothing coefficient that varies based on RSI positioning relative to the midpoint:
adaptiveAlpha = smoothedRSI > 50 ? 2.0 / (trendPeriod * 0.5 + 1) : 2.0 / (trendPeriod * 1.5 + 1)
This coefficient drives an adaptive trend calculation that responds more quickly when RSI indicates bullish momentum and more slowly during bearish conditions:
var float adaptiveTrend = source
adaptiveTrend := adaptiveAlpha * source + (1 - adaptiveAlpha) * nz(adaptiveTrend , source)
The normalized RSI values are converted into price-based adjustments using ATR for volatility scaling:
rsiAdjustment = normalizedRSI * ta.atr(14) * sensitivity
rsiTrendValue = adaptiveTrend + rsiAdjustment
ATR-based bands are constructed around this RSI-adjusted trend value to create dynamic boundaries that constrain trend line positioning:
atr = ta.atr(atrPeriod)
deviation = atr * atrMultiplier
upperBound = rsiTrendValue + deviation
lowerBound = rsiTrendValue - deviation
The trend line positioning uses these band constraints to determine its final value:
if upperBound < trendLine
trendLine := upperBound
if lowerBound > trendLine
trendLine := lowerBound
Signal generation occurs through directional comparison of the trend line against its previous value to establish bullish and bearish states:
trendUp = trendLine > trendLine
trendDown = trendLine < trendLine
if trendUp
isBullish := true
isBearish := false
else if trendDown
isBullish := false
isBearish := true
The final output colors the trend line green during bullish states and red during bearish states, creating visual buy/long and sell/short opportunity signals based on the combined RSI momentum and volatility-adjusted trend positioning.
🟢 Signal Interpretation
Rising Trend Line (Green): Indicates upward momentum where RSI influence and adaptive smoothing favor continued price advancement = Potential buy/long positions
Declining Trend Line (Red): Indicates downward momentum where RSI influence and adaptive smoothing favor continued price decline = Potential sell/short positions
Flattening Trend Lines: Occur when momentum weakens and the trend line slope approaches neutral, suggesting potential consolidation before the next move
Built-in Alert System: Automated notifications trigger when bullish or bearish states change, sending "RSI Trend Bullish Signal" or "RSI Trend Bearish Signal" messages for timely entry/exit
Color Bar Candles Option: Optional candle coloring feature that applies the same green/red trend colors to price bars, providing additional visual confirmation of the current trend direction

Key Levels: Daily, Weekly, Monthly [BackQuant]Key Levels: Daily, Weekly, Monthly
Map the market’s “memory” in one glance—yesterday’s range, this week’s chosen day high/low, and D/W/M opens—then auto-clean levels once they break.
What it does
This tool plots three families of high-signal reference lines and keeps them tidy as price evolves:
Chosen Day High/Low (per week) — Pick a weekday (e.g., Monday). For each past week, the script records that day’s session high and low and projects them forward for a configurable number of bars. These act like “memory levels” that price often revisits.
Daily / Weekly / Monthly Opens — Plots the opening price of each new day, week, and month with separate styling. These opens frequently behave like magnets/flip lines intraday and anchors for regime on higher timeframes.
Auto-pruning — When price breaks a stored level, the script can automatically remove it to reduce clutter and refocus you on still-active lines. See: (broken levels removed).
Why these levels matter
Liquidity pockets — Prior day’s high/low and the daily open concentrate stops and pending orders. Mapping them quickly reveals likely sweep or fade zones. Example: previous day highs + daily open highlighting liquidity:
Context & regime — Monthly opens frame macro bias; trading above a rising cluster of monthly opens vs. below gives a clean top-down read. Example: monthly-only “macro outlook” view:
Cleaner charts — Auto-remove broken lines so you focus on what still matters right now.
What it plots (at a glance)
Past Chosen Day High/Low for up to N prior weeks (your choice), extended right.
Current Daily Open , Weekly Open , and Monthly Open , each with its own color, label, and forward extension.
Optional short labels (e.g., “Mon High”) or full labels (with week/month info).
How breaks are detected & cleaned
You control both the evidence and the timing of a “break”:
Break uses — Choose Close (more conservative) or Wick (more sensitive).
Inclusive? — If enabled, equality counts (≥ high or ≤ low). If disabled, you need a strict cross.
Allow intraday breaks? — If on, a level can break during the tracked day; if off, the script only counts breaks after the session completes.
Remove Broken Levels — When a break is confirmed, the line/label is deleted automatically. (See the demo: )
Quick start
Pick a Day of Week to Track (e.g., Monday).
Set how many weeks back to show (e.g., 8–10).
Choose how far to extend each family (bars to the right for chosen-day H/L and D/W/M opens).
Decide if a break uses Close or Wick , and whether equality counts.
Toggle Remove Broken Levels to keep the chart clean automatically.
Tips by use-case
Intraday bias — Watch the Daily Open as a magnet/flip. If price gaps above and holds, pullbacks to the daily open often decide direction. Pair with last day’s high/low for sweep→reversal or true breakout cues. See:
Weekly structure — Track the week’s chosen day (e.g., Monday) high/low across prior weeks. If price stalls near a cluster of old “Monday Highs,” look for sweep/reject patterns or continuation on reclaim.
Macro regime — Hide daily/weekly lines and keep only Monthly Opens to read bigger cycles at a glance (BTC/crypto especially). Example:
Customization
Use wicks or bodies for highs/lows (wicks capture extremes; bodies are stricter).
Line style & thickness — solid/dashed/dotted, width 1–5, plus global transparency.
Labels — Abbreviated (“Mon High”, “D Open”) or full (month/week/day info).
Color scheme — Separate colors for highs, lows, and each of D/W/M opens.
Capacity controls — Set how many daily/weekly/monthly opens and how many weeks of chosen-day H/L to keep visible.
What’s under the hood
On your selected weekday, the script records that session’s true high and true low (using wicks or body-based extremes—your choice), then projects a horizontal line forward for the next bars.
At each new day/week/month , it records the opening price and projects that line forward as well.
Each bar, the script checks your “break” rules; once broken, lines/labels are removed if auto-cleaning is on.
Everything updates in real time; past levels don’t repaint after the session finishes.
Recommended presets
Day trading — Weeks back: 6–10; extend D/W opens: 50–100 bars; Break uses: Close ; Inclusive: off; Auto-remove: on.
Swing — Fewer daily opens, more weekly opens (2–6), and 8–12 weeks of chosen-day H/L.
Macro — Show only Monthly Opens (1–6 months), dashed style, thicker lines for clarity.
Reading the examples
Broken lines disappear — decluttering in action:
Macro outlook — monthly opens as cycle rails:
Liquidity map — previous day highs + daily open:
Final note
These are not “signals”—they’re reference points that many participants watch. By standardising how you draw them and automatically clearing the ones that no longer matter, you turn a noisy chart into a focused map: where liquidity likely sits, where price memory lives, and which lines are still in play.

Composite Time ProfileComposite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) - Market Profile Compositing Tool
Automatically composite multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure
What is the Composite Time Profile Overlay?
The Composite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) is a Pine Script indicator that automatically composites multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure. It's designed for traders who use market profile concepts and need to quickly identify where price is likely to find support or resistance.
The indicator analyzes TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data across different timeframes and merges overlapping profiles to create composite levels that represent the most significant areas of balance. This helps you spot where institutional traders are likely to make decisions based on accumulated price action.
Why Use CTPO for Market Profile Trading?
Eliminate Manual Compositing Work
Instead of manually drawing and compositing profiles across different timeframes, CTPO does this automatically. You get instant access to composite levels without spending time analyzing each individual period.
Spot Areas of Balance Quickly
The indicator highlights the most significant areas of balance by compositing overlapping profiles. These areas often act as support and resistance levels because they represent where the most trading activity occurred across multiple time periods.
Focus on What Matters
Rather than getting lost in individual session profiles, CTPO shows you the composite levels that have been validated across multiple timeframes. This helps you focus on the levels that are most likely to hold.
How CTPO Works for Market Profile Traders
Automatic Profile Compositing
CTPO uses a proprietary algorithm that:
- Identifies period boundaries based on your selected timeframe (sessions, daily, weekly, monthly, or auto-detection)
- Calculates TPO profiles for each period using the C2M (Composite 2 Method) row sizing calculation
- Merges overlapping profiles using configurable overlap thresholds (default 50% overlap required)
- Updates composite levels as new price action develops in real-time
Key Levels for Market Profile Analysis
The indicator displays:
- Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) levels calculated from composite TPO data
- Point of Control (POC) levels where most trading occurred across all composited periods
- Composite zones representing areas of balance with configurable transparency
- 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for breakout targets based on composite range
Multiple Timeframe Support
- Sessions: For intraday market profile analysis
- Daily: For swing trading with daily profiles
- Weekly: For position trading with weekly structure
- Monthly: For long-term market profile analysis
- Auto: Automatically selects timeframe based on your chart
Trading Applications for Market Profile Users
Support and Resistance Trading
Use composite levels as dynamic support and resistance zones. These levels often hold because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes.
Breakout Trading
When composite levels break, they often lead to significant moves. The indicator calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions to give you clear targets for breakout trades.
Mean Reversion Strategies
Value Area levels represent the price range where most trading activity occurred. These levels often act as magnets, drawing price back when it moves too far from the mean.
Institutional Level Analysis
Composite levels represent areas where institutional traders have made significant decisions. These levels often hold more weight than traditional technical analysis levels because they're based on actual trading activity.
Key Features for Market Profile Traders
Smart Compositing Logic
- Automatic overlap detection using price range intersection algorithms
- Configurable overlap thresholds (minimum 50% overlap required for merging)
- Dead composite identification (profiles that become engulfed by newer composites)
- Real-time updates as new price action develops using barstate.islast optimization
Visual Customization
- Customizable colors for active, broken, and dead composites
- Adjustable transparency levels for each composite state
- Premium/Discount zone highlighting based on current price vs composite range
- TPO aggression coloring using TPO distribution analysis to identify buying/selling pressure
- Fibonacci level extensions with 1.618 target calculations based on composite range
Clean Chart Presentation
- Only shows the most relevant composite levels (maximum 10 active composites)
- Eliminates clutter from individual session profiles
- Focuses on areas of balance that matter most to current price action
Real-World Trading Examples
Day Trading with Session Composites
Use session-based composites to identify intraday areas of balance. The VAH and VAL levels often act as natural profit targets and stop-loss levels for scalping strategies.
Swing Trading with Daily Composites
Daily composites provide excellent swing trading levels. Look for price reactions at composite zones and use the 1.618 extensions for profit targets.
Position Trading with Weekly Composites
Weekly composites help identify major trend changes and long-term areas of balance. These levels often hold for months or even years.
Risk Management
Composite levels provide natural stop-loss levels. If a composite level breaks, it often signals a significant shift in market sentiment, making it an ideal place to exit losing positions.
Why Composite Levels Work
Composite levels work because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes. When price returns to these levels, traders often remember the previous price action and make similar decisions, creating self-fulfilling prophecies.
The compositing process uses a proprietary algorithm that ensures only levels validated across multiple time periods are displayed. This means you're looking at levels that have proven their significance through actual market behavior, not just random technical levels.
Technical Foundation
The indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data combined with price action analysis to identify areas of balance. The C2M row sizing method ensures accurate profile calculations, while the overlap detection algorithm (minimum 50% price range intersection) ensures only truly significant composites are displayed. The algorithm calculates row size based on ATR (Average True Range) divided by 10, then converts to tick size for precise level calculations.
How the Code Actually Works
1. Period Detection and ATR Calculation
The code first determines the appropriate timeframe based on your chart:
- 1m-5m charts: Session-based profiles
- 15m-2h charts: Daily profiles
- 4h charts: Weekly profiles
- 1D charts: Monthly profiles
For each period type, it calculates the number of bars needed for ATR calculation:
- Sessions: 540 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Daily: 1440 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Weekly: 7 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Monthly: 30 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
2. C2M Row Size Calculation
The code calculates True Range for each bar in the determined period:
- True Range = max(high-low, |high-prevClose|, |low-prevClose|)
- Averages all True Range values to get ATR
- Row Size = (ATR / 10) converted to tick size
- This ensures each TPO row represents a meaningful price movement
3. TPO Profile Generation
For each period, the code:
- Creates price levels from lowest to highest price in the range
- Each level is separated by the calculated row size
- Counts how many bars touch each price level (TPO count)
- Finds the level with highest count = Point of Control (POC)
- Calculates Value Area by expanding from POC until 68.27% of total TPO blocks are included
4. Overlap Detection Algorithm
When a new profile is created, the code checks if it overlaps with existing composites:
- Calculates overlap range = min(currentVAH, prevVAH) - max(currentVAL, prevVAL)
- Calculates current profile range = currentVAH - currentVAL
- Overlap percentage = (overlap range / current profile range) * 100
- If overlap >= 50%, profiles are merged into a composite
5. Composite Merging Logic
When profiles overlap, the code creates a new composite by:
- Taking the earliest start bar and latest end bar
- Using the wider VAH/VAL range (max of both profiles)
- Keeping the POC from the profile with more TPO blocks
- Marking the composite as "active" until price breaks through
6. Real-Time Updates
The code uses barstate.islast to optimize performance:
- Only recalculates on the last bar of each period
- Updates active composite with live price action if enabled
- Cleans up old composites to prevent memory issues
- Redraws all visual elements from scratch each bar
7. Visual Rendering System
The code uses arrays to manage drawing objects:
- Clears all lines/boxes arrays on every bar
- Iterates through composites array to redraw everything
- Uses different colors for active, broken, and dead composites
- Calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for broken composites
Getting Started with CTPO
Step 1: Choose Your Timeframe
Select the period type that matches your trading style:
- Use "Sessions" for day trading
- Use "Daily" for swing trading
- Use "Weekly" for position trading
- Use "Auto" to let the indicator choose based on your chart timeframe
Step 2: Customize the Display
Adjust colors, transparency, and display options to match your charting preferences. The indicator offers extensive customization options to ensure it fits seamlessly into your existing analysis.
Step 3: Identify Key Levels
Look for:
- Composite zones (blue boxes) - major areas of balance
- VAH/VAL lines - value area boundaries
- POC lines - areas of highest trading activity
- 1.618 extension lines - breakout targets
Step 4: Develop Your Strategy
Use these levels to:
- Set entry points near composite zones
- Place stop losses beyond composite levels
- Take profits at 1.618 extension levels
- Identify trend changes when major composites break
Perfect for Market Profile Traders
If you're already using market profile concepts in your trading, CTPO eliminates the manual work of compositing profiles across different timeframes. Instead of spending time analyzing each individual period, you get instant access to the composite levels that matter most.
The indicator's automated compositing process ensures you're always looking at the most relevant areas of balance, while its real-time updates keep you informed of changes as they happen.

Quantile Regression Bands [BackQuant]Quantile Regression Bands
Tail-aware trend channeling built from quantiles of real errors, not just standard deviations.
What it does
This indicator fits a simple linear trend over a rolling lookback and then measures how price has actually deviated from that trend during the window. It then places two pairs of bands at user-chosen quantiles of those deviations (inner and outer). Because bands are based on empirical quantiles rather than a symmetric standard deviation, they adapt to skewed and fat-tailed behaviour and often hug price better in trending or asymmetric markets.
Why “quantile” bands instead of Bollinger-style bands?
Bollinger Bands assume a (roughly) symmetric spread around the mean; quantiles don’t—upper and lower bands can sit at different distances if the error distribution is skewed.
Quantiles are robust to outliers; a single shock won’t inflate the bands for many bars.
You can choose tails precisely (e.g., 1%/99% or 5%/95%) to match your risk appetite.
How it works (intuitive)
Center line — a rolling linear regression approximates the local trend.
Residuals — for each bar in the lookback, the indicator looks at the gap between actual price and where the line “expected” price to be.
Quantiles — those gaps are sorted; you select which percentiles become your inner/outer offsets.
Bands — the chosen quantile offsets are added to the current end of the regression line to draw parallel support/resistance rails.
Smoothing — a light EMA can be applied to reduce jitter in the line and bands.
What you see
Center (linear regression) line (optional).
Inner quantile bands (e.g., 25th/75th) with optional translucent fill.
Outer quantile bands (e.g., 1st/99th) with a multi-step gradient to visualise “tail zones.”
Optional bar coloring: bars trend-colored by whether price is rising above or falling below the center line.
Alerts when price crosses the outer bands (upper or lower).
How to read it
Trend & drift — the slope of the center line is your local trend. Persistent closes on the same side of the center line indicate directional drift.
Pullbacks — tags of the inner band often mark routine pullbacks within trend. Reaction back to the center line can be used for continuation entries/partials.
Tails & squeezes — outer-band touches highlight statistically rare excursions for the chosen window. Frequent outer-band activity can signal regime change or volatility expansion.
Asymmetry — if the upper band sits much further from the center than the lower (or vice versa), recent behaviour has been skewed. Trade management can be adjusted accordingly (e.g., wider take-profit upslope than downslope).
A simple trend interpretation can be derived from the bar colouring
Good use-cases
Volatility-aware mean reversion — fade moves into outer bands back toward the center when trend is flat.
Trend participation — buy pullbacks to the inner band above a rising center; flip logic for shorts below a falling center.
Risk framing — set dynamic stops/targets at quantile rails so position sizing respects recent tail behaviour rather than fixed ticks.
Inputs (quick guide)
Source — price input used for the fit (default: close).
Lookback Length — bars in the regression window and residual sample. Longer = smoother, slower bands; shorter = tighter, more reactive.
Inner/Outer Quantiles (τ) — choose your “typical” vs “tail” levels (e.g., 0.25/0.75 inner, 0.01/0.99 outer).
Show toggles — independently toggle center line, inner bands, outer bands, and their fills.
Colors & transparency — customize band and fill appearance; gradient shading highlights the tail zone.
Band Smoothing Length — small EMA on lines to reduce stair-step artefacts without meaningfully changing levels.
Bar Coloring — optional trend tint from the center line’s momentum.
Practical settings
Swing trading — Length 75–150; inner τ = 0.25/0.75, outer τ = 0.05/0.95.
Intraday — Length 50–100 for liquid futures/FX; consider 0.20/0.80 inner and 0.02/0.98 outer in high-vol assets.
Crypto — Because of fat tails, try slightly wider outers (0.01/0.99) and keep smoothing at 2–4 to tame weekend jumps.
Signal ideas
Continuation — in an uptrend, look for pullback into the lower inner band with a close back above the center as a timing cue.
Exhaustion probe — in ranges, first touch of an outer band followed by a rejection candle back inside the inner band often precedes mean-reversion swings.
Regime shift — repeated closes beyond an outer band or a sharp re-tilt in the center line can mark a new trend phase; adjust tactics (stop-following along the opposite inner band).
Alerts included
“Price Crosses Upper Outer Band” — potential overextension or breakout risk.
“Price Crosses Lower Outer Band” — potential capitulation or breakdown risk.
Notes
The fit and quantiles are computed on a fixed rolling window and do not repaint; bands update as the window moves forward.
Quantiles are based on the recent distribution; if conditions change abruptly, expect band widths and skew to adapt over the next few bars.
Parameter choices directly shape behaviour: longer windows favour stability, tighter inner quantiles increase touch frequency, and extreme outer quantiles highlight only the rarest moves.
Final thought
Quantile bands answer a simple question: “How unusual is this move given the current trend and the way price has been missing it lately?” By scoring that question with real, distribution-aware limits rather than one-size-fits-all volatility you get cleaner pullback zones in trends, more honest “extreme” tags in ranges, and a framework for risk that matches the market’s recent personality.
Kalman Sigmoid Z-score | SurgeQuantTitle: Kalman Sigmoid Z-score Indicator
The Kalman Sigmoid Z-score indicator is a sophisticated tool designed to identify market momentum and potential trend changes using a combination of Kalman filtering, sigmoid-weighted averaging, and Z-score calculations. By processing price data through a Kalman filter and applying adaptive sigmoid weighting, this indicator provides clear visual signals for bullish and bearish market conditions. The Z-score output and price bars are dynamically colored to highlight momentum shifts, aiding traders in identifying potential trading opportunities.
How It Works
Kalman Filter Calculation
Computes a smoothed price series using a Kalman filter based on a user-selected price source (Close, High, Low, or Open) with configurable parameters for process noise, measurement noise, and filter order (default: 3).
The Kalman filter reduces noise in the price data, providing a stable foundation for further analysis.
Sigmoid-Weighted Averaging
Applies a sigmoid function to calculate adaptive weights based on price comparisons over a user-defined lookback period (default: 10).
Weights are adjusted dynamically using a volatility ratio (standard deviation over ATR) to account for market conditions, enhancing signal reliability.
Z-score Calculation
Calculates the Z-score of the Kalman-filtered price relative to a sigmoid-weighted moving average over a user-defined period (default: 20).
Bullish Signal: Triggered when the Z-score crosses above 0, indicating potential upward momentum.
Bearish Signal: Triggered when the Z-score crosses below 0, indicating potential downward momentum.
Visual Representation
The indicator provides a clear and customizable visual interface:
Z-score Histogram: Displayed as colored columns, with distinct colors for bullish (Z-score > 0) and bearish (Z-score < 0) conditions.
Bright green (#4DFFBE) for rising Z-score above 0.
Light green (#56DFCF) for falling Z-score above 0.
Dark purple (#AE75DA) for falling Z-score below 0.
Light purple (#4D2D8C) for rising Z-score below 0.
Price Bar Coloring: Synchronizes with the Z-score colors to reflect momentum on the main chart.
Reference Line: A zero line is plotted on the Z-score panel for easy reference.
Customization & Parameters

[davidev] EMA/MA with projection# EMA/MA with projection
## What it is
A lightweight overlay that plots up to three EMAs and one MA (default: 5/21/55 EMAs and 200 MA) and draws a forward projection from the current bar. The projection extrapolates the latest per-bar change (slope) to visualize where each average *could* be in the next N bars—useful for planning entries, dynamic support/resistance, and anticipating crossovers.
Note: The projection is a simple linear extrapolation of the most recent change. It is not a prediction or signal.
## How it works
Computes EMA1, EMA2, EMA3 and MA (SMA) on your chosen sources.
On the last bar only, it draws a short line segment ahead by `Bars Ahead`, using the most recent change (`ta.change()`) × number of bars to project the line.
Lines are **reused** and updated each tick (no clutter), and deleted on historical bars to avoid artifacts.
## Good for
Visualizing **dynamic levels** slightly ahead of price.
Quickly gauging **momentum** and **slope** of your moving averages.
Sketching possible **crossover timing** (e.g., 5 vs 21 EMA) without changing timeframe.
Cleaner charting: projection only renders on the last bar, so historical candles stay uncluttered.
## Tips
Combine with your market structure/volume tools; the projection helps **plan**, not predict.
Shorter EMAs react faster and will show more pronounced projected moves; longer MAs remain steadier.
Increase `Bars Ahead` on higher timeframes; keep it small on scalping charts to avoid overreach.
Transformer Flux DashboardHere’s a practical guide to what your Transformer Flux Dashboard does and how to use it.
What it is
A compact, two-column trading dashboard + signal pack that blends trend, MACD, and OBV into one view (“Flux Score”) and adds session awareness (pre-sessions and main sessions in Eastern time). It’s designed for regular candles by default and avoids repaint by letting you confirm on bar close.
Core pieces it calculates
Moving Averages
Two MAs: Fast (HMA/EMA) and Slow (HMA/EMA).
You choose length, line width, color, and transparency.
Trend engine (Strict/Lenient)
Uses the relation between Fast/Slow MA and a debounced fast-MA slope filter (slope > ATR×buffer).
Strict: requires fast>slow and slow rising (or the inverse for down).
Lenient: fast>slow or slow rising (or the inverse).
A confirmation window (bars) must hold true before trend flips. That window can be auto-tuned by session (Asia/London/NY) or set globally.
OBV confirmation (optional)
OBV smoothed by SMA; needs to be rising/falling for N bars (also session-aware if you enable presets).
MACD
Standard MACD Fast/Slow/Signal; the dashboard shows Bull ▲, Bear ▼ or Flat based on line vs signal.
Flux Score (top row)
A composite, smoothed gauge from 0–100:
40% Trend, 30% MACD, 30% OBV → EMA(3) smoothed.
Labels: Bullish ≥ 70, Bearish ≤ 30, otherwise Neutral.
Summary line explains why (e.g., “MACD↑, OBV↑, Trend up”).
Sessions & zones (Eastern/NY time)
Recognizes Asia / London / New York main sessions and pre-sessions using your chart’s Eastern time.
Session label (top of chart): text is white; background auto-matches the current session color (or your manual color).
Zone backgrounds (optional): off by default; when on, default transparency ≈ 95% (very light), with separate colors for each session and pre-session. A toggle lets you draw pre-session on top or beneath main sessions.
Signals & markers
Two strength tiers: Strong (Trend + OBV + MACD aligned) and Weak (2 of the 3 agree).
To reduce clutter, markers only appear on direction shifts (from last visible direction to a new one), and you can enforce a minimum bar gap.
Marker style:
Default Icons with LabelUp/LabelDown (tiny).
Colors: strong long = bright white by default; others configurable.
Weak markers are slightly offset from price using ATR so they don’t overlap wicks.
Dashboard (2-column)
Left column = label, right column = value:
Flux Score: numeric + Bullish/Neutral/Bearish tag.
Summary: short reason of the score.
Trend: UP / DOWN / FLAT (cell tinted green/red/gray).
MACD: Bull ▲ / Bear ▼ / Flat (tinted).
Signal: last printed signal + bar age (fresh signals get a lighter tint).
MA: slow MA type/length and up/down arrow.
Sess: current session label (e.g., “Pre-London”, “New York”).
VIX / VXN (optional): shows current value.
Auto tint: based on calm/watch/elevated thresholds (you control levels and colors).
Manual tint: fixed BG color if you prefer consistency.
Params: “P”=trend bars, “O”=OBV bars, mode (Strict/Lenient), and “Candles”.
You can set a global Default Transparency for the dashboard cells.
Key settings to know
Confirm On Close: when on (default), trend/OBV/MACD states use the last confirmed bar; this avoids mid-bar flicker and reduces repaint risk.
Session presets: when enabled, the number of bars required for confirmations tightens/loosens per session (e.g., Asia uses more bars than NY).
Colors & Opacity:
MA lines have their own transparency (default 0 = fully opaque).
Dashboard cells use a single global transparency (default 40%).
Session zones default to very light (95%) and are off by default.
VIX/VXN cells can auto-color by regime or use a manual background.
Markers:
“Icons” vs “Ticks.” Default is Icons with tiny labels up/down.
“Shift only” display reduces noise; you can also set min bar spacing.
How to read it (quick workflow)
Flux Score row: a fast “risk-on/off” gauge.
≥70 with green Trend/MACD cells → higher-conviction long context.
≤30 with red Trend/MACD cells → higher-conviction short context.
Summary explains why the score is what it is.
Signal row: tells you the last official signal and how many bars ago it fired. Fresh signals tint lighter.
MA row: aligns your slow baseline; arrow helps spot slow-turns early.
Sess row + label: know which market is active; behavior and your confirmation bars adapt by session if presets are on.
VIX/VXN (if enabled): extra context for risk regime (values and color band).
Good practices & caveats
It’s confirmation-based to reduce false flips; you’ll get signals slightly later, by design.
All signals are informational; there’s no position management or stops in this build (we removed the stop visuals by request).
If you switch to exotic chart types or extreme resolutions, re-tune lengths and confirmation bars (and potentially disable session presets).
For scalping, consider reducing confirmation bars and OBV smoothing; for higher timeframes, increase them.
Quick customization ideas
Want faster flips? Lower confirmBars and obvBars, increase slope buffer a bit to retain quality.
Want fewer weak signals? Show only strong markers (toggle off weak via colors/visibility or increase min bar gap).
Prefer EMA stacking? Set both Fast/Slow to EMA.
Don’t care about OBV? Turn OBV confirm off; Trend + MACD will drive
Technical Summary VWAP | RSI | VolatilityTechnical Summary VWAP | RSI | Volatility
The Quantum Trading Matrix is a multi-dimensional market-analysis dashboard designed as an educational and idea-generation tool to help traders read price structure, participation, momentum and volatility in one compact view. It is not an automated execution system; rather, it aggregates lightweight “quantum” signals — VWAP position, momentum oscillator behaviour, multi-EMA trend scoring, volume flow and institutional activity heuristics, market microstructure pivots and volatility measures — and synthesizes them into a single, transparent score and signal recommendation. The primary goal is to make explicit why a given market looks favourable or unfavourable by showing the individual ingredients and how they combine, enabling traders to learn, test and form rules based on observable market mechanics.
Each module of the matrix answers a distinct market question. VWAP and its percentage distance indicate whether the current price is trading above or below the intraday volume-weighted average — a proxy for intraday institutional control and value. The quantum momentum oscillator (fast and slow EMA difference scaled to percent) captures short-to-intermediate momentum shifts, providing a quickly responsive view of directional pressure. Multi-EMA trend scoring (8/21/50) produces a simple, transparent trend score by counting conditions such as price above EMAs and cross-EMAs ordering; this score is used to categorize market trend into descriptive buckets (e.g., STRONG UP, WEAK UP, NEUTRAL, DOWN). Volume analysis compares current volume to a recent moving average and computes a Z-score to detect spikes and unusual participation; additional buy/sell pressure heuristics (buyingPressure, sellingPressure, flowRatio) estimate whether upside or downside participation dominates the bar. Institutional activity is approximated by flagging large orders relative to volume baseline (e.g., volume > 2.5× MA) and estimating a dark pool proxy; this is a heuristic to highlight bars that likely had large players involved.
The dashboard also performs market-structure detection with small pivot windows to identify recent local support/resistance areas and computes price position relative to the daily high/low (dailyMid, pricePosition). Volatility is measured via ATR divided by price and bucketed into LOW/NORMAL/HIGH/EXTREME categories to help you adapt stop sizing and expectational horizons. Finally, all these pieces feed an interpretable scoring function that rewards alignment: VWAP above, strong flow ratio, bullish trend score, bullish momentum, and favorable RSI zone add to the overall score which is presented as a 0–100 metric and a colored emoji indicator for at-a-glance assessment.
The mashup is purposeful: each indicator covers a failure mode of the other. For example, momentum readings can be misleading during volatility spikes; VWAP informs whether institutions are on the bid or offer; volume Z-score detects abnormal participation that can validate a breakout; multi-EMA score mitigates single-EMA whipsaws by requiring a combination of price/EMA conditions. Combining these signals increases information content while keeping each component explainable — a key compliance requirement. The script intentionally emphasizes transparency: when it shows a BUY/SELL/HOLD recommendation, the dashboard shows the underlying sub-components so a trader can see whether VWAP, momentum, volume, trend or structure primarily drove the score.
For practical use, adopt a clear workflow: (1) check the matrix score and read the component tiles (VWAP position, momentum, trend and volume) to understand the drivers; (2) confirm market-structure support/resistance and pricePosition relative to the daily range; (3) require at least two corroborating components (for example, VWAP ABOVE + Momentum BULLISH or Volume spike + Trend STRONG UP) before considering entries; (4) use ATR-based stops or daily pivot distance for stop placement and size positions such that the trade risks a small, pre-defined percent of capital; (5) for intraday scalps shorten holding time and tighten stops, for swing trades increase lookback lengths and require multi-timeframe (higher TF) agreement. Treat the matrix as an idea filter and replay lab: when an alert triggers, replay the bars and observe which components anticipated the move and which lagged.
Parameter tuning matters. Shortening the momentum length makes the oscillator more sensitive (useful for scalping), while lengthening it reduces noise for swing contexts. Volume profile bars and MA length should match the instrument’s liquidity — increase the MA for low-liquidity stocks to reduce false institutional flags. The trend multiplier and signal sensitivity parameters let you calibrate how aggressively the matrix counts micro evidence into the score. Always backtest parameter sets across multiple periods and instruments; run walk-forward tests and keep a simple out-of-sample validation window to reduce overfitting risk.
Limitations and failure modes are explicit: institutional flags and dark-pool estimates are heuristics and cannot substitute for true tape or broker-level order flow; volume split by price range is an approximation and will not perfectly reflect signed volume; pivot detection with small windows may miss larger structural swings; VWAP is typically intraday-centric and less meaningful across multi-day swing contexts; the score is additive and may not capture non-linear relationships between features in extreme market regimes (e.g., flash crashes, circuit breaker events, or overnight gaps). The matrix is also susceptible to false signals during major news releases when price and volume behavior dislocate from typical patterns. Users should explicitly test behavior around earnings, macro data and low-liquidity periods.
To learn with the matrix, perform these experiments: (A) collect all BUY/SELL alerts over a 6-month period and measure median outcome at 5, 20 and 60 bars; (B) require additional gating conditions (e.g., only accept BUY when flowRatio>60 and trendScore≥4) and compare expectancy; (C) vary the institutional threshold (2×, 2.5×, 3× volumeMA) to see how many true positive spikes remain; (D) perform multi-instrument tests to ensure parameters are not tuned to a single ticker. Document every test and prefer robust, slightly lower returns with clearer logic rather than tuned “optimal” results that fail out of sample.
Originality statement: This script’s originality lies in the curated combination of intraday value (VWAP), multi-EMA trend scoring, momentum percent oscillator, volume Z-score plus buy/sell flow heuristics and a compact, interpretable scoring system. The script is not a simple indicator mashup; it is a didactic ensemble specifically designed to make internal rationale visible so traders can learn how each market characteristic contributes to actionable probability. The tool’s novelty is its emphasis on interpretability — showing the exact contributing signals behind a composite score — enabling reproducible testing and educational value.

Quantum Trading Matrix — multi-factor intraday dashboard (educational use only).
Purpose: Combines intraday VWAP position, a fast/slow EMA momentum percent oscillator, multi-EMA trend scoring (8/21/50), volume Z-score and buy/sell flow heuristics, pivot-based microstructure detection, and ATR-based volatility buckets to produce a transparent, componentized market score and trade-idea indicator. The mashup is intentional: VWAP identifies intraday value, momentum detects short bursts, EMAs provide structural trend bias, and volume/flow confirm participation. Signals require alignment of at least two components (for example, VWAP ABOVE + Momentum BULLISH + positive flow) for higher confidence.
Inputs: momentum period, volume MA/profile length, EMA configuration (8/21/50), trend multiplier, signal sensitivity, color and display options. Use shorter momentum lengths for scalps and longer for swing analysis. Increase volume MA for thinly traded instruments.
Limitations: Institutional/dark-pool estimates and flow heuristics are approximations, not actual exchange tape. VWAP is intraday-focused. Expect false signals during major news or low-liquidity sessions. Backtest and paper-trade before applying real capital.

RSI ADX Bollinger Analysis High-level purpose and design philosophy
This indicator — RSI-ADX-Bollinger Analysis — is a compact, educational market-analysis toolkit that blends momentum (RSI), trend strength (ADX), volatility structure (Bollinger Bands) and simple volumetrics to provide traders a snapshot of market condition and trade idea quality. The design philosophy is explicit and layered: use each component to answer a different question about price action (momentum, conviction, volatility, participation), then combine answers to form a more robust, explainable signal. The mashup is intended for analysis and learning, not automatic execution: it surfaces the why behind signals so traders can test, learn and apply rules with risk management.
________________________________________
What each indicator contributes (component-by-component)
RSI (Relative Strength Index) — role and behavior: RSI measures short-term momentum by comparing recent gains to recent losses. A high RSI (near or above the overbought threshold) indicates strong recent buying pressure and potential exhaustion if price is extended. A low RSI (near or below the oversold threshold) indicates strong recent selling pressure and potential exhaustion or a value area for mean-reversion. In this dashboard RSI is used as the primary momentum trigger: it helps identify whether price is locally over-extended on the buy or sell side.
ADX (Average Directional Index) — role and behavior: ADX measures trend strength independently of direction. When ADX rises above a chosen threshold (e.g., 25), it signals that the market is trending with conviction; ADX below the threshold suggests range or weak trend. Because patterns and momentum signals perform differently in trending vs. ranging markets, ADX is used here as a filter: only when ADX indicates sufficient directional strength does the system treat RSI+BB breakouts as meaningful trade candidates.
Bollinger Bands — role and behavior: Bollinger Bands (20-period basis ± N standard deviations) show volatility envelope and relative price position vs. a volatility-adjusted mean. Price outside the upper band suggests pronounced extension relative to recent volatility; price outside the lower band suggests extended weakness. A band expansion (increasing width) signals volatility breakout potential; contraction signals range-bound conditions and potential squeeze. In this dashboard, Bollinger Bands provide the volatility/structural context: RSI extremes plus price beyond the band imply a stronger, volatility-backed move.
Volume split & basic MA trend — role and behavior: Buy-like and sell-like volume (simple heuristic using close>open or closeopen) or sell-like (close1.2 for validation and compare win rate and expectancy.
4. TF alignment: Accept signals only when higher timeframe (e.g., 4h) trend agrees — compare results.
5. Parameter sensitivity: Vary RSI threshold (70/30 vs 80/20), Bollinger stddev (2 vs 2.5), and ADX threshold (25 vs 30) and measure stability of results.
These exercises teach both statistical thinking and the specific failure modes of the mashup.
________________________________________
Limitations, failure modes and caveats (explicit & teachable)
• ADX and Bollinger measures lag during fast-moving news events — signals can be late or wrong during earnings, macro shocks, or illiquid sessions.
• Volume classification by open/close is a heuristic; it does not equal TAPEDATA, footprint or signed volume. Use it as supportive evidence, not definitive proof.
• RSI can remain overbought or oversold for extended stretches in persistent trends — relying solely on RSI extremes without ADX or BB context invites large drawdowns.
• Small-cap or low-liquidity instruments yield noisy band behavior and unreliable volume ratios.
Being explicit about these limitations is a strong point in a TradingView description — it demonstrates transparency and educational intent.
________________________________________
Originality & mashup justification (text you can paste)
This script intentionally combines classical momentum (RSI), volatility envelope (Bollinger Bands) and trend-strength (ADX) because each indicator answers a different and complementary question: RSI answers is price locally extreme?, Bollinger answers is price outside normal volatility?, and ADX answers is the market moving with conviction?. Volume participation then acts as a practical check for real market involvement. This combination is not a simple “indicator mashup”; it is a designed ensemble where each element reduces the others’ failure modes and together produce a teachable, testable signal framework. The script’s purpose is educational and analytical — to show traders how to interpret the interplay of momentum, volatility, and trend strength.

Tzotchev Trend Measure [EdgeTools]Are you still measuring trend strength with moving averages? Here is a better variant at scientific level:
Tzotchev Trend Measure: A Statistical Approach to Trend Following
The Tzotchev Trend Measure represents a sophisticated advancement in quantitative trend analysis, moving beyond traditional moving average-based indicators toward a statistically rigorous framework for measuring trend strength. This indicator implements the methodology developed by Tzotchev et al. (2015) in their seminal J.P. Morgan research paper "Designing robust trend-following system: Behind the scenes of trend-following," which introduced a probabilistic approach to trend measurement that has since become a cornerstone of institutional trading strategies.
Mathematical Foundation and Statistical Theory
The core innovation of the Tzotchev Trend Measure lies in its transformation of price momentum into a probability-based metric through the application of statistical hypothesis testing principles. The indicator employs the fundamental formula ST = 2 × Φ(√T × r̄T / σ̂T) - 1, where ST represents the trend strength score bounded between -1 and +1, Φ(x) denotes the normal cumulative distribution function, T represents the lookback period in trading days, r̄T is the average logarithmic return over the specified period, and σ̂T represents the estimated daily return volatility.
This formulation transforms what is essentially a t-statistic into a probabilistic trend measure, testing the null hypothesis that the mean return equals zero against the alternative hypothesis of non-zero mean return. The use of logarithmic returns rather than simple returns provides several statistical advantages, including symmetry properties where log(P₁/P₀) = -log(P₀/P₁), additivity characteristics that allow for proper compounding analysis, and improved validity of normal distribution assumptions that underpin the statistical framework.
The implementation utilizes the Abramowitz and Stegun (1964) approximation for the normal cumulative distribution function, achieving accuracy within ±1.5 × 10⁻⁷ for all input values. This approximation employs Horner's method for polynomial evaluation to ensure numerical stability, particularly important when processing large datasets or extreme market conditions.
Comparative Analysis with Traditional Trend Measurement Methods
The Tzotchev Trend Measure demonstrates significant theoretical and empirical advantages over conventional trend analysis techniques. Traditional moving average-based systems, including simple moving averages (SMA), exponential moving averages (EMA), and their derivatives such as MACD, suffer from several fundamental limitations that the Tzotchev methodology addresses systematically.
Moving average systems exhibit inherent lag bias, as documented by Kaufman (2013) in "Trading Systems and Methods," where he demonstrates that moving averages inevitably lag price movements by approximately half their period length. This lag creates delayed signal generation that reduces profitability in trending markets and increases false signal frequency during consolidation periods. In contrast, the Tzotchev measure eliminates lag bias by directly analyzing the statistical properties of return distributions rather than smoothing price levels.
The volatility normalization inherent in the Tzotchev formula addresses a critical weakness in traditional momentum indicators. As shown by Bollinger (2001) in "Bollinger on Bollinger Bands," momentum oscillators like RSI and Stochastic fail to account for changing volatility regimes, leading to inconsistent signal interpretation across different market conditions. The Tzotchev measure's incorporation of return volatility in the denominator ensures that trend strength assessments remain consistent regardless of the underlying volatility environment.
Empirical studies by Hurst, Ooi, and Pedersen (2013) in "Demystifying Managed Futures" demonstrate that traditional trend-following indicators suffer from significant drawdowns during whipsaw markets, with Sharpe ratios frequently below 0.5 during challenging periods. The authors attribute these poor performance characteristics to the binary nature of most trend signals and their inability to quantify signal confidence. The Tzotchev measure addresses this limitation by providing continuous probability-based outputs that allow for more sophisticated risk management and position sizing strategies.
The statistical foundation of the Tzotchev approach provides superior robustness compared to technical indicators that lack theoretical grounding. Fama and French (1988) in "Permanent and Temporary Components of Stock Prices" established that price movements contain both permanent and temporary components, with traditional moving averages unable to distinguish between these elements effectively. The Tzotchev methodology's hypothesis testing framework specifically tests for the presence of permanent trend components while filtering out temporary noise, providing a more theoretically sound approach to trend identification.
Research by Moskowitz, Ooi, and Pedersen (2012) in "Time Series Momentum in the Cross Section of Asset Returns" found that traditional momentum indicators exhibit significant variation in effectiveness across asset classes and time periods. Their study of multiple asset classes over decades revealed that simple price-based momentum measures often fail to capture persistent trends in fixed income and commodity markets. The Tzotchev measure's normalization by volatility and its probabilistic interpretation provide consistent performance across diverse asset classes, as demonstrated in the original J.P. Morgan research.
Comparative performance studies conducted by AQR Capital Management (Asness, Moskowitz, and Pedersen, 2013) in "Value and Momentum Everywhere" show that volatility-adjusted momentum measures significantly outperform traditional price momentum across international equity, bond, commodity, and currency markets. The study documents Sharpe ratio improvements of 0.2 to 0.4 when incorporating volatility normalization, consistent with the theoretical advantages of the Tzotchev approach.
The regime detection capabilities of the Tzotchev measure provide additional advantages over binary trend classification systems. Research by Ang and Bekaert (2002) in "Regime Switches in Interest Rates" demonstrates that financial markets exhibit distinct regime characteristics that traditional indicators fail to capture adequately. The Tzotchev measure's five-tier classification system (Strong Bull, Weak Bull, Neutral, Weak Bear, Strong Bear) provides more nuanced market state identification than simple trend/no-trend binary systems.
Statistical testing by Jegadeesh and Titman (2001) in "Profitability of Momentum Strategies" revealed that traditional momentum indicators suffer from significant parameter instability, with optimal lookback periods varying substantially across market conditions and asset classes. The Tzotchev measure's statistical framework provides more stable parameter selection through its grounding in hypothesis testing theory, reducing the need for frequent parameter optimization that can lead to overfitting.
Advanced Noise Filtering and Market Regime Detection
A significant enhancement over the original Tzotchev methodology is the incorporation of a multi-factor noise filtering system designed to reduce false signals during sideways market conditions. The filtering mechanism employs four distinct approaches: adaptive thresholding based on current market regime strength, volatility-based filtering utilizing ATR percentile analysis, trend strength confirmation through momentum alignment, and a comprehensive multi-factor approach that combines all methodologies.
The adaptive filtering system analyzes market microstructure through price change relative to average true range, calculates volatility percentiles over rolling windows, and assesses trend alignment across multiple timeframes using exponential moving averages of varying periods. This approach addresses one of the primary limitations identified in traditional trend-following systems, namely their tendency to generate excessive false signals during periods of low volatility or sideways price action.
The regime detection component classifies market conditions into five distinct categories: Strong Bull (ST > 0.3), Weak Bull (0.1 < ST ≤ 0.3), Neutral (-0.1 ≤ ST ≤ 0.1), Weak Bear (-0.3 ≤ ST < -0.1), and Strong Bear (ST < -0.3). This classification system provides traders with clear, quantitative definitions of market regimes that can inform position sizing, risk management, and strategy selection decisions.
Professional Implementation and Trading Applications
The indicator incorporates three distinct trading profiles designed to accommodate different investment approaches and risk tolerances. The Conservative profile employs longer lookback periods (63 days), higher signal thresholds (0.2), and reduced filter sensitivity (0.5) to minimize false signals and focus on major trend changes. The Balanced profile utilizes standard academic parameters with moderate settings across all dimensions. The Aggressive profile implements shorter lookback periods (14 days), lower signal thresholds (-0.1), and increased filter sensitivity (1.5) to capture shorter-term trend movements.
Signal generation occurs through threshold crossover analysis, where long signals are generated when the trend measure crosses above the specified threshold and short signals when it crosses below. The implementation includes sophisticated signal confirmation mechanisms that consider trend alignment across multiple timeframes and momentum strength percentiles to reduce the likelihood of false breakouts.
The alert system provides real-time notifications for trend threshold crossovers, strong regime changes, and signal generation events, with configurable frequency controls to prevent notification spam. Alert messages are standardized to ensure consistency across different market conditions and timeframes.
Performance Optimization and Computational Efficiency
The implementation incorporates several performance optimization features designed to handle large datasets efficiently. The maximum bars back parameter allows users to control historical calculation depth, with default settings optimized for most trading applications while providing flexibility for extended historical analysis. The system includes automatic performance monitoring that generates warnings when computational limits are approached.
Error handling mechanisms protect against division by zero conditions, infinite values, and other numerical instabilities that can occur during extreme market conditions. The finite value checking system ensures data integrity throughout the calculation process, with fallback mechanisms that maintain indicator functionality even when encountering corrupted or missing price data.
Timeframe validation provides warnings when the indicator is applied to unsuitable timeframes, as the Tzotchev methodology was specifically designed for daily and higher timeframe analysis. This validation helps prevent misapplication of the indicator in contexts where its statistical assumptions may not hold.
Visual Design and User Interface
The indicator features eight professional color schemes designed for different trading environments and user preferences. The EdgeTools theme provides an institutional blue and steel color palette suitable for professional trading environments. The Gold theme offers warm colors optimized for commodities trading. The Behavioral theme incorporates psychology-based color contrasts that align with behavioral finance principles. The Quant theme provides neutral colors suitable for analytical applications.
Additional specialized themes include Ocean, Fire, Matrix, and Arctic variations, each optimized for specific visual preferences and trading contexts. All color schemes include automatic dark and light mode optimization to ensure optimal readability across different chart backgrounds and trading platforms.
The information table provides real-time display of key metrics including current trend measure value, market regime classification, signal strength, Z-score, average returns, volatility measures, filter threshold levels, and filter effectiveness percentages.

The Tzotchev Trend Measure addresses several theoretical limitations inherent in traditional technical analysis approaches. Unlike moving average-based systems that rely on price level comparisons, this methodology grounds trend analysis in statistical hypothesis testing, providing a more robust theoretical foundation for trading decisions.
The probabilistic interpretation of trend strength offers significant advantages over binary trend classification systems. Rather than simply indicating whether a trend exists, the measure quantifies the statistical confidence level associated with the trend assessment, allowing for more nuanced risk management and position sizing decisions.
The incorporation of volatility normalization addresses the well-documented problem of volatility clustering in financial time series, ensuring that trend strength assessments remain consistent across different market volatility regimes. This normalization is particularly important for portfolio management applications where consistent risk metrics across different assets and time periods are essential.
Practical Applications and Trading Strategy Integration
The Tzotchev Trend Measure can be effectively integrated into various trading strategies and portfolio management frameworks. For trend-following strategies, the indicator provides clear entry and exit signals with quantified confidence levels. For mean reversion strategies, extreme readings can signal potential turning points. For portfolio allocation, the regime classification system can inform dynamic asset allocation decisions.
The indicator's statistical foundation makes it particularly suitable for quantitative trading strategies where systematic, rules-based approaches are preferred over discretionary decision-making. The standardized output range facilitates easy integration with position sizing algorithms and risk management systems.
Risk management applications benefit from the indicator's ability to quantify trend strength and provide early warning signals of potential trend changes. The multi-timeframe analysis capability allows for the construction of robust risk management frameworks that consider both short-term tactical and long-term strategic market conditions.
Implementation Guide and Parameter Configuration
The practical application of the Tzotchev Trend Measure requires careful parameter configuration to optimize performance for specific trading objectives and market conditions. This section provides comprehensive guidance for parameter selection and indicator customization.
Core Calculation Parameters
The Lookback Period parameter controls the statistical window used for trend calculation and represents the most critical setting for the indicator. Default values range from 14 to 63 trading days, with shorter periods (14-21 days) providing more sensitive trend detection suitable for short-term trading strategies, while longer periods (42-63 days) offer more stable trend identification appropriate for position trading and long-term investment strategies. The parameter directly influences the statistical significance of trend measurements, with longer periods requiring stronger underlying trends to generate significant signals but providing greater reliability in trend identification.
The Price Source parameter determines which price series is used for return calculations. The default close price provides standard trend analysis, while alternative selections such as high-low midpoint ((high + low) / 2) can reduce noise in volatile markets, and volume-weighted average price (VWAP) offers superior trend identification in institutional trading environments where volume concentration matters significantly.
The Signal Threshold parameter establishes the minimum trend strength required for signal generation, with values ranging from -0.5 to 0.5. Conservative threshold settings (0.2 to 0.3) reduce false signals but may miss early trend opportunities, while aggressive settings (-0.1 to 0.1) provide earlier signal generation at the cost of increased false positive rates. The optimal threshold depends on the trader's risk tolerance and the volatility characteristics of the traded instrument.
Trading Profile Configuration
The Trading Profile system provides pre-configured parameter sets optimized for different trading approaches. The Conservative profile employs a 63-day lookback period with a 0.2 signal threshold and 0.5 noise sensitivity, designed for long-term position traders seeking high-probability trend signals with minimal false positives. The Balanced profile uses a 21-day lookback with 0.05 signal threshold and 1.0 noise sensitivity, suitable for swing traders requiring moderate signal frequency with acceptable noise levels. The Aggressive profile implements a 14-day lookback with -0.1 signal threshold and 1.5 noise sensitivity, optimized for day traders and scalpers requiring frequent signal generation despite higher noise levels.
Advanced Noise Filtering System
The noise filtering mechanism addresses the challenge of false signals during sideways market conditions through four distinct methodologies. The Adaptive filter adjusts thresholds based on current trend strength, increasing sensitivity during strong trending periods while raising thresholds during consolidation phases. The Volatility-based filter utilizes Average True Range (ATR) percentile analysis to suppress signals during abnormally volatile conditions that typically generate false trend indications.
The Trend Strength filter requires alignment between multiple momentum indicators before confirming signals, reducing the probability of false breakouts from consolidation patterns. The Multi-factor approach combines all filtering methodologies using weighted scoring to provide the most robust noise reduction while maintaining signal responsiveness during genuine trend initiations.
The Noise Sensitivity parameter controls the aggressiveness of the filtering system, with lower values (0.5-1.0) providing conservative filtering suitable for volatile instruments, while higher values (1.5-2.0) allow more signals through but may increase false positive rates during choppy market conditions.
Visual Customization and Display Options
The Color Scheme parameter offers eight professional visualization options designed for different analytical preferences and market conditions. The EdgeTools scheme provides high contrast visualization optimized for trend strength differentiation, while the Gold scheme offers warm tones suitable for commodity analysis. The Behavioral scheme uses psychological color associations to enhance decision-making speed, and the Quant scheme provides neutral colors appropriate for quantitative analysis environments.
The Ocean, Fire, Matrix, and Arctic schemes offer additional aesthetic options while maintaining analytical functionality. Each scheme includes optimized colors for both light and dark chart backgrounds, ensuring visibility across different trading platform configurations.
The Show Glow Effects parameter enhances plot visibility through multiple layered lines with progressive transparency, particularly useful when analyzing multiple timeframes simultaneously or when working with dense price data that might obscure trend signals.
Performance Optimization Settings
The Maximum Bars Back parameter controls the historical data depth available for calculations, with values ranging from 5,000 to 50,000 bars. Higher values enable analysis of longer-term trend patterns but may impact indicator loading speed on slower systems or when applied to multiple instruments simultaneously. The optimal setting depends on the intended analysis timeframe and available computational resources.
The Calculate on Every Tick parameter determines whether the indicator updates with every price change or only at bar close. Real-time calculation provides immediate signal updates suitable for scalping and day trading strategies, while bar-close calculation reduces computational overhead and eliminates signal flickering during bar formation, preferred for swing trading and position management applications.
Alert System Configuration
The Alert Frequency parameter controls notification generation, with options for all signals, bar close only, or once per bar. High-frequency trading strategies benefit from all signals mode, while position traders typically prefer bar close alerts to avoid premature position entries based on intrabar fluctuations.
The alert system generates four distinct notification types: Long Signal alerts when the trend measure crosses above the positive signal threshold, Short Signal alerts for negative threshold crossings, Bull Regime alerts when entering strong bullish conditions, and Bear Regime alerts for strong bearish regime identification.
Table Display and Information Management
The information table provides real-time statistical metrics including current trend value, regime classification, signal status, and filter effectiveness measurements. The table position can be customized for optimal screen real estate utilization, and individual metrics can be toggled based on analytical requirements.
The Language parameter supports both English and German display options for international users, while maintaining consistent calculation methodology regardless of display language selection.
Risk Management Integration
Effective risk management integration requires coordination between the trend measure signals and position sizing algorithms. Strong trend readings (above 0.5 or below -0.5) support larger position sizes due to higher probability of trend continuation, while neutral readings (between -0.2 and 0.2) suggest reduced position sizes or range-trading strategies.
The regime classification system provides additional risk management context, with Strong Bull and Strong Bear regimes supporting trend-following strategies, while Neutral regimes indicate potential for mean reversion approaches. The filter effectiveness metric helps traders assess current market conditions and adjust strategy parameters accordingly.
Timeframe Considerations and Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The indicator's effectiveness varies across different timeframes, with higher timeframes (daily, weekly) providing more reliable trend identification but slower signal generation, while lower timeframes (hourly, 15-minute) offer faster signals with increased noise levels. Multi-timeframe analysis combining trend alignment across multiple periods significantly improves signal quality and reduces false positive rates.
For optimal results, traders should consider trend alignment between the primary trading timeframe and at least one higher timeframe before entering positions. Divergences between timeframes often signal potential trend reversals or consolidation periods requiring strategy adjustment.
