Cumulative Buying and Selling Volume with 3 Lookback PeriodsScript Overview:
This script is designed to help traders identify market momentum by analyzing buying and selling volume. It calculates the cumulative buying and selling pressure over three different lookback periods, providing insights into whether the bulls or bears are dominating at any given time. The script does this by computing the cumulative buying and selling volume for each period and comparing them through exponential moving averages (EMA) to smooth out short-term fluctuations.
Purpose and Use:
The primary goal of this script is to highlight shifts in market sentiment based on volume dynamics. Volume is a critical component in market analysis, often signaling the strength behind price movements. By focusing on cumulative buying and selling pressure, the script gives traders an idea of whether the market is trending towards more buying or selling during specific periods. Traders can use this tool to:
Identify potential entry points when buying pressure is strong.
Recognize potential selling opportunities when selling pressure is increasing.
Detect periods of indecision when neither buying nor selling dominates.
Key Concepts:
1. Buying Volume (BV):
The buying volume is calculated based on the price range of each candle. It represents the volume allocated to the bullish side of the market:
When the close is near the high, the buying volume is higher.
Formula: BV = volume * (close - low) / (high - low).
2. Selling Volume (SV):
Similarly, selling volume is derived based on the position of the close relative to the low:
When the close is near the low, selling volume is higher.
Formula: SV = volume * (high - close) / (high - low)
3. Lookback Periods:
The script allows users to define three different lookback periods (5, 10, and 20 by default). These periods smooth out the cumulative buying and selling volumes using EMA calculations:
Shorter periods capture more immediate changes in volume dynamics.
Longer periods provide a broader perspective on market trends.
4. Cumulative Volume Calculation:
For each lookback period, cumulative buying and selling volumes are tracked separately and then smoothed with EMA:
emaBuyVol and emaSellVol are the smoothed values for buying and selling volumes over the lookback periods.
5. Market Pressure Comparison:
Buying Pressure: If the EMA of buying volume is greater than the EMA of selling volume for a particular lookback period, the script considers that buying pressure dominates for that period.
Selling Pressure: Conversely, if selling volume dominates over buying volume for a period, the script registers selling pressure.
6. Overall Market Pressure:
The script aggregates the buying and selling pressures from the three lookback periods to determine the overall market sentiment:
If the majority of periods show buying pressure, the market is bullish.
If the majority show selling pressure, the market is bearish.
If neither side dominates, it suggests a neutral or indecisive market.
Visual Cues:
The script provides visual feedback to help traders quickly interpret the market pressure:
Background Color:
Green (#2bff00) when buying pressure dominates.
Red (#ff0000) when selling pressure dominates.
Gray (#404040) when there is no clear dominance.
Bar Color: The script also colors the price bars based on the dominant market pressure:
Green for buying pressure.
Red for selling pressure.
Gray for neutral or balanced market pressure.
Reset Mechanism:
At the start of each new candle, the cumulative volumes for all three periods are reset to zero. This ensures that the cumulative volumes are only measured for the current candle, preventing carryover from previous periods that could distort the analysis.
How Traders Can Use This Script:
Trend Confirmation: Traders can use the script as a trend confirmation tool. When the background turns green (buying dominance), it suggests bullish momentum. When red, bearish momentum is likely. This information can be used to confirm existing positions or signal new trades in the direction of the market pressure.
Reversal Detection: A sudden shift in the background color (from green to red or vice versa) can indicate a potential reversal. This can be particularly useful when combined with other technical indicators such as price action or support/resistance levels.
Multiple Timeframes: Since the script supports three different lookback periods, it provides a comprehensive view of market pressure across short-term, medium-term, and long-term perspectives. Traders can tailor the lookback periods based on their preferred timeframe to match their trading style, whether it’s intraday trading or longer-term swing trading.
Risk Management: The script's clear visual cues help traders manage risk by highlighting when selling pressure increases, allowing them to consider reducing long positions or tightening stop-losses.

Trade Entry Detector, Wick to Body Ratio Trade Entry Detector: Wick-to-Body Ratio Strategy with Bollinger Bands
Overview
The Trade Entry Detector is a custom strategy for TradingView that leverages the Bollinger Bands and a unique wick-to-body ratio approach to capture precise entry opportunities. This indicator is designed for traders who want to pinpoint high-probability reversal points when price interacts with Bollinger Bands, all while offering flexible entry fill options.
The strategy performs primary analysis on the daily time frame, regardless of your current chart setting, allowing you to view daily Bollinger Band levels and entry signals even on lower time frames. This approach is suitable for swing traders and short-term traders looking to align intraday moves with higher time frame signals.
How the Strategy Works
1. Bollinger Band Analysis on the Daily Time Frame
Bollinger Bands are calculated using a 20-period simple moving average (SMA) and a standard deviation multiplier (default is 2). These bands dynamically expand and contract based on market volatility, making them ideal for identifying overbought and oversold conditions:
* Upper Band: Indicates potential overbought levels.
* Lower Band: Indicates potential oversold levels.
2. Wick-to-Body Ratio Condition
This strategy places significant emphasis on candle wicks relative to the candle body. Here’s why:
* A large upper wick relative to the body signals potential selling pressure after testing the upper Bollinger Band.
* A large lower wick relative to the body indicates buying support after testing the lower Bollinger Band.
* Ratio Threshold: You can set a minimum wick-to-body ratio (default is 1.0), meaning that the wick must be at least equal in size to the body. This ensures only candles with significant reversals are considered for entry.
3. Flexible Entry Timing
To adapt to various trading styles, the indicator allows you to choose the entry fill timing:
* Daily Close: Enter at the close of the daily candle.
* Daily Open: Enter at the open of the following daily candle.
* HOD (High of Day): Set entry at the daily high, for those who want confirmation of upward momentum.
* LOD (Low of Day): Set entry at the daily low, ideal for confirming downward movement.
4. Position Sizing and Risk Management
The strategy calculates position size based on a fixed risk percentage of your account balance (default is 1%). This approach dynamically adjusts position sizes based on stop-loss distance:
* Stop Loss: Placed at the nearest swing high (for shorts) or swing low (for longs).
* Take Profit: Exits are triggered when the price reaches the opposite Bollinger Band.
5. Order Expiration
Each pending order (long or short) expires after two days if unfilled, allowing for new setups on subsequent candles if conditions are met again.
Using the Trade Entry Detector
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Set the Primary Time Frame
The core calculations run on the daily time frame, but the strategy can be applied to intraday charts (e.g., 65-minute or 15-minute) for deeper insights.
2. Adjust Bollinger Band Settings
* Length: Default is 20, which determines the period for calculating the moving average.
* Standard Deviation Multiplier: Default is 2.0, which sets the width of the bands. Adjusting this can help you capture broader or tighter volatility ranges.
3. Define the Wick-to-Body Ratio
Set the minimum ratio between wick and body (default 1.0). Higher values filter out candles with less wick-to-body contrast, focusing on stronger rejection moves.
4. Choose Entry Fill Timing
Select your preferred fill condition:
* Daily Close: Confirms the trade at the end of the daily session.
* Daily Open: Executes the entry at the open of the next day.
* HOD/LOD: Uses the daily high or low as an additional confirmation for upward or downward moves.
5. Position Sizing and Risk Management
* Set your account balance and risk percentage. The strategy automatically calculates position sizes based on the stop distance to manage risk efficiently.
* Stop Loss and Take Profit points are automatically set based on swing highs/lows and opposing Bollinger Bands, respectively.
Practical Example
Let’s say SPY (S&P 500 ETF) tests the lower Bollinger Band on the daily time frame, with a lower wick that is twice the size of the body (meeting the 1.0 ratio threshold). Here’s how the strategy might proceed:
1. Signal: The lower wick on SPY suggests buying interest at the lower Bollinger Band.
2. Entry Fill Timing: If you’ve selected "Daily Open," the entry order will be placed at the next day's open price.
3. Stop Loss: Positioned at the nearest daily swing low to minimize risk.
4. Take Profit: If SPY price moves up and reaches the upper Bollinger Band, the position is automatically closed.
Indicator Features and Benefits
* Multi-Time Frame Compatibility: Perform daily analysis while tracking signals on any intraday chart.
* Automatic Position Sizing: Tailor risk per trade based on account balance and desired risk percentage.
* Flexible Entry Options: Choose from close, open, HOD, or LOD for optimal timing.
* Effective Trend Reversal Identification: Uses wick-to-body ratio and Bollinger Band interaction to pinpoint potential reversals.
* Dynamic Visualization: Bollinger Bands are displayed on your chosen time frame, allowing seamless intraday tracking.
Summary
The Trade Entry Detector provides a unique, data-driven way to spot reversal points with customizable entry options. By combining Bollinger Bands with wick-to-body ratio conditions, it identifies potential trade setups where price has tested extremes and shown reversal signals. With its flexible entry timing, risk management features, and multi-time frame compatibility, this indicator is ideal for traders looking to blend daily market context with shorter-term execution.
Tips for Usage:
* For swing trading, consider the Daily Open or Close entry options.
* For momentum entries, HOD or LOD may offer better alignment with the direction of the wick.
* Backtest on different assets to find optimal Bollinger Band and wick-to-body settings for your market.
Use this indicator to enhance your understanding of price behavior at key levels and improve the precision of your entry points. Happy trading!
Custom 4 Moving Averages with Styles & ThresholdsThis Pine Script indicator is designed to provide traders with a unique method of analyzing price action through four customizable moving averages, alongside buy and sell threshold detection. The script is fully original and adds value by allowing traders to configure and visualize multiple MAs with different smoothing options, and by detecting critical buy/sell moments based on the interaction between price and the moving averages.
What the Script Does:
Custom Moving Averages: The script plots four distinct moving averages (MA1, MA2, MA3, and MA4) on the chart. Each MA can be configured for length, offset, and optional smoothing to match different trading strategies. This flexibility allows traders to tailor the script for various timeframes, trend detection, and market conditions.
Buy (BT) and Sell (ST) Threshold Detection: The indicator identifies critical points for buying and selling:
Buy Threshold (BT): The script identifies potential buy points when the current candle's low is above the MA2 from the previous candle, suggesting potential upward momentum.
Sell Threshold (ST): It detects potential sell points when the current MA2 falls below the previous candle’s low, indicating possible downward momentum. These thresholds are clearly marked on the chart with green arrows for BT (Buy) and red arrows for ST (Sell).
Horizontal Threshold Lines: Horizontal lines are drawn when BT or ST conditions are met. These lines help traders visualize support and resistance levels, providing clarity in decision-making. The length of these lines is customizable, allowing users to control how long they remain visible on the chart.
Dynamic Cleanup of Old Lines: To keep the chart clean and reduce clutter, the script automatically removes old BT and ST lines after a set period, ensuring that traders can focus on the most relevant data.
Underlying Concepts:
Moving Averages: Moving averages are a fundamental tool in technical analysis for identifying trends. This script uses various moving averages (calculated from high, low, close, and HL2) and allows for smoothing to adjust the sensitivity to price movements. Traders can apply this flexibility to multiple trading styles, from scalping to swing trading.
Threshold Conditions: The buy and sell conditions in this script are based on simple but effective price action patterns, where the interaction between price and MA2 determines entry or exit points. This approach is useful in trend-following strategies, where traders aim to capitalize on momentum shifts.
How to Use the Script:
Configure Moving Averages: Start by adjusting the lengths, offsets, and smoothing options for each moving average. For short-term trading, shorter MA lengths might be more suitable, while longer MAs can help identify broader trends.
Observe Buy and Sell Signals: Look for green arrows (BT) as potential buy signals and red arrows (ST) as potential sell signals. These signals appear when certain conditions between price and MA2 are met, giving traders clear visual cues for entries and exits.
Support/Resistance Levels: Pay attention to the horizontal lines drawn when BT or ST conditions occur. These lines can act as support or resistance levels, helping you identify potential price targets or stop-loss points.
Why This Script is Useful:
This indicator combines the power of multiple moving averages with customizable features, making it versatile for different market conditions. By adding clear buy and sell signals based on a logical threshold system, the script helps traders make informed decisions with minimal guesswork. Unlike many basic indicators, this one provides flexibility and original insight into market dynamics, making it a valuable tool for both beginner and experienced traders.
Rolling VWAPGuide for Traders
What is the Rolling VWAP?
The Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is a key indicator used by traders to assess the average price of an asset, weighted by volume over a specified period. Unlike a simple moving average, the VWAP accounts for trading volume, making it a more accurate reflection of price action and market sentiment.
The Rolling VWAP in this script dynamically updates based on a user-defined period, allowing traders to view the average price over a chosen number of bars. This is particularly useful for identifying trends and potential entry or exit points in the market.
Key Benefits of Using Rolling VWAP
Better Market Insight: VWAP provides insight into where most trading is occurring, helping you gauge the strength of a price move.
Support and Resistance Levels: It often acts as dynamic support or resistance, signaling areas where price might reverse.
Trend Confirmation: A rising VWAP suggests a bullish trend, while a falling VWAP indicates a bearish trend.
Informed Entry/Exit Decisions: Use the VWAP to find entry points below it in an uptrend or exit points above it in a downtrend.
How to Use this Script:
Custom Period Input:
You can modify the "VWAP Period" to adjust the number of bars considered in the rolling calculation.
The default period is 14 bars, but you can set it based on your strategy (e.g., shorter for intraday trading, longer for swing trading).
Chart Interpretation
Bullish Signals: When the price is above the VWAP line, it suggests upward momentum, and you may consider buying opportunities.
Bearish Signals: When the price is below the VWAP, it indicates downward momentum, and you may consider selling or shorting opportunities.
Reversion to VWAP: Prices often revert to the VWAP after extended moves away from it, offering potential trade setups.
Combine with Other Indicators:
Momentum Indicators: Use with RSI, MACD, or moving averages for confirmation.
Volume Analysis: VWAP works well when combined with volume indicators to assess if a breakout is supported by high trading volume.
Customization:
Traders can customize the script's period and plot color to fit their charting preferences.
Practical Tips:
Intraday Traders: Use shorter periods (e.g., 5 or 10) to capture VWAP trends in fast-moving markets.
Swing Traders: Use longer periods (e.g., 50 or 100) to assess longer-term price and volume trends.
By integrating this Rolling VWAP into your strategy, you can better understand where the majority of trading volume has occurred, allowing you to make more informed decisions in your trading process.
Adaptive Gaussian MA For Loop [BackQuant]Adaptive Gaussian MA For Loop
PLEASE Read the following carefully before applying this indicator to your trading system. Knowing the core logic behind the tools you're using allows you to integrate them into your strategy with confidence and precision.
Introducing BackQuant's Adaptive Gaussian Moving Average For Loop (AGMA FL) — a sophisticated trading indicator that merges the Gaussian Moving Average (GMA) with adaptive volatility to provide dynamic trend analysis. This unique indicator further enhances its effectiveness by utilizing a for-loop scoring mechanism to detect potential shifts in market direction. Let's dive into the components, the rationale behind them, and how this indicator can be practically applied to your trading strategies.
Understanding the Gaussian Moving Average (GMA)
The Gaussian Moving Average (GMA) is a smoothed moving average that applies Gaussian weighting to price data. Gaussian weighting gives more significance to data points near the center of the lookback window, making the GMA particularly effective at reducing noise while maintaining sensitivity to changes in price direction. In contrast to simpler moving averages like the SMA or EMA, GMA provides a more refined smoothing function, which can help traders follow the true trend in volatile markets.
In this script, the GMA is calculated over a defined Calculation Period (default 14), applying a Gaussian filter to smooth out market fluctuations and provide a clearer view of underlying trends.
Adaptive Volatility: A Dynamic Edge
The Adaptive feature in this indicator gives it the ability to adjust its sensitivity based on current market volatility. If the Adaptive option is enabled, the GMA uses a standard deviation-based volatility measure (with a default period of 20) to dynamically adjust the width of the Gaussian filter, allowing the GMA to react faster in volatile markets and more slowly in calm conditions. This dynamic nature ensures that the GMA stays relevant across different market environments.
When the Adaptive setting is disabled, the script defaults to a constant standard deviation value (default 1.0), providing a more stable but less responsive smoothing function.
Why Use Adaptive Gaussian Moving Average?
The Gaussian Moving Average already provides smoother results than standard moving averages, but by adding an adaptive component, the indicator becomes even more responsive to real-time price changes. In fast-moving or highly volatile markets, this adaptation allows traders to react quicker to emerging trends. Conversely, in quieter markets, it reduces over-sensitivity to minor fluctuations, thus lowering the risk of false signals.
For-Loop Scoring Mechanism
The heart of this indicator lies in its for-loop scoring system, which evaluates the smoothed price data (the GMA) over a specified range, comparing it to previous values. This scoring system assigns a numerical value based on whether the current GMA is higher or lower than previous values, creating a trend score.
Long Signals: These are generated when the for-loop score surpasses the Long Threshold (default set at 40), signaling that the GMA is gaining upward momentum, potentially identifying a favorable buying opportunity.
Short Signals: These are triggered when the score crosses below the Short Threshold (default set at -10), indicating that the market may be losing strength and that a selling or shorting opportunity could be emerging.
Thresholds & Customization Options
This indicator offers a high degree of flexibility, allowing you to fine-tune the settings according to your trading style and risk preferences:
Calculation Period: Adjust the lookback period for the Gaussian filter, affecting how smooth or responsive the indicator is to price changes.
Adaptive Mode: Toggle the adaptive feature on or off, allowing the GMA to dynamically adjust based on market volatility or remain consistent with a fixed standard deviation.
Volatility Settings: Control the standard deviation period for adaptive mode, fine-tuning how quickly the GMA responds to shifts in volatility.
For-Loop Settings: Modify the start and end points for the for-loop score calculation, adjusting the depth of analysis for trend signals.
Thresholds for Signals: Set custom long and short thresholds to determine when buy or sell signals should be generated.
Visualization Options: Choose to color bars based on trend direction, plot signal lines, or adjust the background color to reflect current market sentiment visually.
Trading Applications
The Adaptive Gaussian MA For Loop can be applied to a variety of trading styles and markets. Here are some key ways you can use this indicator in practice:
Trend Following: The combination of Gaussian smoothing and adaptive volatility helps traders stay on top of market trends, identifying significant momentum shifts while filtering out noise. The for-loop scoring system enhances this by providing a numerical representation of trend strength, making it easier to spot when a new trend is emerging or when an existing one is gaining strength.
Mean Reversion: For traders looking to capitalize on short-term market corrections, the adaptive nature of this indicator makes it easier to identify when price action is deviating too far from its smoothed trend, allowing for strategic entries and exits based on overbought or oversold conditions.
Swing Trading: With its ability to capture medium-term price movements while avoiding the noise of short-term fluctuations, this indicator is well-suited for swing traders who aim to profit from market reversals or short-to-mid-term trends.
Volatility Management: The adaptive feature allows the indicator to adjust dynamically in volatile markets, ensuring that it remains responsive in times of increased uncertainty while avoiding unnecessary noise in calmer periods. This makes it an effective tool for traders who want to manage risk by staying in tune with changing market conditions.
Final Thoughts
The Adaptive Gaussian MA For Loop is a powerful and flexible indicator that merges the elegance of Gaussian smoothing with the adaptability of volatility-based adjustments. By incorporating a for-loop scoring mechanism, this indicator provides traders with a comprehensive view of market trends and potential trade opportunities.
It’s important to test the settings on historical data and adapt them to your specific trading style, timeframe, and market conditions. As with any technical tool, the AGMA For Loop should be used in conjunction with other indicators and solid risk management practices for the best results.

Custom Moving Average Ribbon with EMA Table & Text ColorComprehensive Description of the Custom Moving Average Ribbon with EMA Table & Text Color
The Custom Moving Average Ribbon with EMA Table & Text Color is a highly flexible and customizable indicator designed for traders who use multiple moving averages to assess trends, strength, and potential market reversals. It plots up to 8 moving averages (either SMA, EMA, WMA, or VWMA) on the price chart and displays a table summarizing the moving averages’ values, periods, and colors. The table also allows for the customization of the text color, making it easier to align with your chart’s theme or preference.
Key Features:
Multiple Moving Averages: You can display up to 8 moving averages (MA), each of which can be customized in terms of:
Type: SMA (Simple Moving Average), EMA (Exponential Moving Average), WMA (Weighted Moving Average), or VWMA (Volume-Weighted Moving Average).
Period: Each moving average has a user-defined period, which allows for flexibility depending on your trading style (short-term, medium-term, or long-term).
Enable/Disable: Each moving average can be independently enabled or disabled based on your preference.
Moving Average Ribbon: The indicator visualizes multiple moving averages as a ribbon, giving traders insight into the market's underlying trend. The interaction between these moving averages provides essential signals:
Uptrend: Shorter-term MAs above longer-term MAs, all sloping upward.
Downtrend: Shorter-term MAs below longer-term MAs, sloping downward.
Consolidation: MAs tightly packed, indicating low volatility or a sideways market.
Customizable Table: The indicator includes a table that displays:
The Name of each moving average (e.g., MA 1, MA 2, etc.).
The Period used for each moving average.
The Current Value of each moving average.

Responsive Design: This indicator works on any time frame, whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, and the table adjusts dynamically as new data comes in.
How to Use the Indicator
a) Trend Identification
The Custom Moving Average Ribbon helps in identifying trends and their strength. Here’s how you can interpret the plotted moving averages:
Uptrend (Bullish):
If the shorter-term moving averages (e.g., 5-period, 10-period) are above the longer-term moving averages (e.g., 50-period, 200-period), and all the MAs are sloping upward, it suggests a strong bullish trend.
The greater the separation between the moving averages, the stronger the uptrend.
Use the table to quickly verify the current value of each MA and confirm that the price is staying above most or all of the MAs.
Downtrend (Bearish):
When shorter-term moving averages are below the longer-term moving averages and all MAs are sloping downward, this indicates a bearish trend.
Greater separation between MAs indicates a stronger downtrend.
Neutral/Consolidating Market:
If the MAs are tightly packed and frequently crossing each other, the market is likely consolidating, and a strong trend is not in play.
In these situations, it’s better to wait for a clearer signal before taking any positions.
b) Reversal Signals
Golden Cross: When a short-term moving average (e.g., 50-period) crosses above a long-term moving average (e.g., 200-period), this is considered a bullish signal, suggesting a possible upward trend.
Death Cross: When a short-term moving average crosses below a long-term moving average, it’s considered a bearish signal, indicating a potential downward trend.
c) Using the Table for Quick Reference
The table allows you to monitor:
The current price value relative to each moving average. If the price is above most MAs, the market is likely in an uptrend, and if below, in a downtrend.
Changes in MA values: If you see values of shorter-term MAs moving closer to or crossing longer-term MAs, this could indicate a weakening trend or a potential reversal.
How to Combine this Indicator with Other Indicators for a Solid Strategy
The Custom Moving Average Ribbon is powerful on its own but can be enhanced when combined with other technical indicators to form a comprehensive trading strategy.
1. Combining with RSI (Relative Strength Index)
How It Works: RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements, typically over 14 periods. It ranges from 0 to 100, with readings above 70 considered overbought and below 30 considered oversold.
Strategy:
Overbought in an Uptrend: If the moving average ribbon indicates an uptrend but the RSI shows the market is overbought (RSI > 70), it could signal a pullback or correction is imminent.
Oversold in a Downtrend: If the moving average ribbon indicates a downtrend but the RSI shows oversold conditions (RSI < 30), a bounce or reversal may be on the horizon.
2. Combining with MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
How It Works: MACD tracks the difference between two exponential moving averages, typically the 12-period and 26-period EMAs. It generates buy and sell signals based on crossovers and divergences.
Strategy:
Trend Confirmation: Use the MACD to confirm the direction and momentum of the trend indicated by the moving average ribbon. For example, if the MACD line crosses above the signal line while the shorter-term MAs are above the longer-term MAs, it confirms strong bullish momentum.
Divergences: Watch for divergences between price action and MACD. If price is making higher highs but MACD is making lower highs, it could signal a weakening trend, which you can verify using the moving averages.
3. Combining with Bollinger Bands
How It Works: Bollinger Bands plot two standard deviations above and below a moving average, typically the 20-period SMA. The bands widen during periods of high volatility and contract during periods of low volatility.
Strategy:
Breakout or Reversal: If price action moves above the upper Bollinger Band while the shorter-term MAs are crossing above the longer-term MAs, it confirms a strong breakout. Conversely, if price touches or falls below the lower Bollinger Band and the shorter MAs start crossing below the longer-term MAs, it indicates a potential breakdown.
Mean Reversion: In sideways markets, when the moving averages are tightly packed, Bollinger Bands can help spot mean reversion opportunities (buy near the lower band, sell near the upper band).
4. Combining with Volume Indicators
How It Works: Volume is a crucial confirmation indicator for any trend or breakout. Combining volume with the moving average ribbon can enhance your strategy.
Strategy:
Trend Confirmation: If the price breaks above the moving averages and is accompanied by high volume, it confirms a strong breakout. Similarly, if price breaks below the moving averages on high volume, it signals a strong downtrend.
Divergence: If price continues to trend in one direction but volume decreases, it could indicate a weakening trend, helping you prepare for a reversal.
Example Strategies Using the Indicator
Trend-Following Strategy:
Use the moving average ribbon to identify the main trend.
Combine with MACD or RSI for confirmation of momentum.
Enter trades when the shorter-term MAs confirm the trend and the confirmation indicator (MACD or RSI) aligns with the trend.
Exit trades when the moving averages start converging or when your confirmation indicator shows signs of reversal.
Reversal Strategy:
Wait for significant crossovers in the moving averages (Golden Cross or Death Cross).
Confirm the reversal with divergence in MACD or RSI.
Use Bollinger Bands to fine-tune your entry and exit points based on overbought/oversold conditions.
Conclusion
The Custom Moving Average Ribbon with EMA Table & Text Color indicator provides a robust framework for traders looking to use multiple moving averages to gauge trend direction, strength, and potential reversals. By combining it with other technical indicators like RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and volume, you can develop a solid trading strategy that enhances accuracy, reduces false signals, and maximizes profit potential in various market conditions.
This indicator offers high flexibility with customization options, making it suitable for traders of all levels and strategies. Whether you're trend-following, scalping, or swing trading, this tool provides invaluable insights into market movements.
Strength/Weakness IndicatorThe Strength/Weakness Indicator is a customisable tool designed to help traders identify key areas of market strength and weakness based on the 50% Fibonacci retracement level .
█ Underlying Concept:
The concept behind this indicator draws heavily on the principles of Fibonacci retracement and WD Gann’s market theories , particularly the importance of the 50% level in signalling critical psychological areas of support and resistance. Historically, the 50% retracement level has been regarded as a key marker where markets either find new buyers/sellers or continue a trend. Gann himself placed significant emphasis on the halfway point of a previous market move as a critical level for market strength and reversal.
Strength : When an asset is trading above the 50% retracement level, it suggests that buyers are in control and that the market is showing strength. This is particularly useful for traders aiming to ride the continuation of an uptrend.
Weakness : Conversely, when the price falls below the 50% retracement level, it indicates that sellers are dominating, and the market is showing signs of weakness. This can be an early indication of a potential reversal or further decline.
█ Key Features:
1 — Multi-Timeframe Fibonacci Analysis :
This indicator supports up to two distinct retracement levels, allowing traders to analyse multiple timeframes simultaneously. Customise the look-back periods for each level to track the highest high and lowest low over your chosen period.
The tool is adaptable to short-term, swing trading, and long-term investing, making it useful across different trading styles.
2 — Dynamic Strength/Weakness Labelling :
The script dynamically calculates and displays whether the asset is “STRONG” or “WEAK” based on its position relative to the 50% retracement levels. If the price is above both levels, it is considered "VERY STRONG." Conversely, trading below both levels signals "VERY WEAK" conditions. This real-time feedback helps traders gauge market sentiment with ease.
3 — Customizable Visual Representation :
Both retracement levels are fully customisable, including line colours, styles, and thicknesses. The script offers custom background fills—highlighting areas of strength (green) and weakness (red)—to provide a clear visual aid for identifying key price zones.
Traders can modify the appearance of text labels (size, colour, position) and choose whether to extend lines left, right, both directions, or not at all.
4 — Cross-Timeframe Validation :
Traders can cross-reference price action between two timeframes to confirm trends. If both levels signal strength or weakness, it validates market momentum, increasing confidence in trade decisions.
5 — Strategic Decision-Making Aid :
The indicator aids in identifying support and resistance zones based on the 50% retracement level. Use it to time entries and exits effectively: price above the 50% level suggests potential trend continuation, while falling below may indicate reversal.
█ How It Works:
1 — Defining Custom Timeframes :
The trader selects custom time periods (days, weeks, months, or years) to calculate the highest high and lowest low, allowing precise control over the analysis.
2 — Calculating Strength/Weakness :
Once the 50% retracement level is calculated, the price’s position relative to it determines the market’s condition. Above 50% signals strength, below signals weakness.
3 — Comparing Multiple Timeframes :
Enable a second retracement level to compare different time periods. This feature is useful for spotting divergences between short-term and long-term trends or validating strength across timeframes.
█ How to Use:
1 — Assess Market Conditions :
If price trades above both 50% retracement levels, it indicates strong bullish momentum. Conversely, trading below both levels signals bearish conditions.
2 — Plan Entries/Exits :
Use the 50% level as a reference for support and resistance. Plan to enter when the price bounces off the 50% level, or exit if it breaks down below this critical level.
3 — Cross-Timeframe Analysis :
Validate the market trend by comparing retracement levels across different timeframes. This helps in confirming whether the trend is strong enough to justify holding a position.
█ Why This Indicator is Unique:
Comprehensive Multi-Timeframe Analysis : While most Fibonacci indicators focus on a single period, this tool provides a deeper understanding by allowing traders to compare price action across multiple timeframes.
Customizable and Dynamic : The real-time strength/weakness labeling, customizable background fills, and the ability to analyze two retracement levels simultaneously make this tool adaptable to any trading strategy.

Trend CCITrend CCI (TCCI) Indicator
Description:
The Trend CCI (TCCI) indicator is a unique combination of the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and the Average True Range (ATR), designed to identify trends and market reversals with a refined sensitivity to price volatility. The indicator plots the CCI, adjusted by an ATR filter, and color-codes the trendline to signal uptrends and downtrends.
How It Works:
This indicator uses the CCI to measure price momentum and an ATR-based filter to smooth out market noise, making it easier to detect significant shifts in the market trend. Key parameters such as the ATR Period, ATR Multiplier, and CCI Period have been carefully chosen to optimize the indicator's performance:
1. ATR Period (default: 18)
The ATR Period determines the number of periods used to calculate the **Average True Range**, which reflects market volatility. In this case, an **ATR Period of 18** has been selected for several reasons:
Balance between responsiveness and noise reduction : A period of 18 strikes a balance between being responsive to recent price movements and filtering out minor fluctuations. Shorter ATR periods might be too reactive, creating false signals, while longer periods might miss shorter-term trends.
Adaptable to various market conditions : An 18-period ATR is suitable for both intraday and swing trading strategies, making it versatile across different time frames.
Standard industry practice : Many traders use ATR settings between 14 and 20 periods as a convention for detecting reliable volatility levels.
2. ATR Multiplier (default: 1.5)
The ATR Multiplier is applied to the ATR value to define how sensitive the indicator is to volatility. In this case, a multiplier of 1.5 has been chosen:
Avoiding whipsaws in low volatility markets: By setting the multiplier to 1.5, the indicator filters out smaller, less significant price movements, reducing the likelihood of whipsaw signals (i.e., false trend reversals during periods of low volatility).
Optimizing signal accuracy: A moderate multiplier like 1.5 ensures that the indicator only generates signals when the price moves a significant distance from the average range. Higher multipliers (e.g., 2.0) may ignore valid opportunities, while lower multipliers (e.g., 1.0) might create too many signals.
Enhancing trend clarity : The multiplier’s role in widening the range allows the indicator to respond more clearly during periods of strong trends, reducing signal noise and false positives.
3. CCI Period (default: 63)
The CCI Period defines the number of periods used to calculate the Commodity Channel Index. A 63-period CCI is selected based on the following considerations:
Smoothing the momentum calculation: A longer period, such as 63, is used to smooth out the CCI and reduce the effects of short-term price fluctuations. This period captures longer-term momentum, making it ideal for identifying more significant market trends.
-Filtering out short-term noise: While shorter CCI periods (e.g., 14 or 20) may be more reactive, they tend to produce more signals, some of which may be false. A 63-period CCI focuses on stronger and more sustained price movements, providing fewer but higher-quality signals.
Adapted to intermediate trading: A 63-period CCI aligns well with traders looking for medium-term trend-following strategies, striking a balance between long-term trend identification and responsiveness to significant price shifts.
How to Use:
Green Area: When the trendline turns green, it signals that the CCI is positive, reflecting upward momentum. This can be interpreted as a buy signal, indicating the potential for long positions or continuing bullish trades.
Red Area: When the trendline turns red, it signals that the CCI is negative, reflecting downward momentum. This can be interpreted as a sell signal, indicating potential short positions or bearish trades.
ATR Filter: The ATR helps reduce false signals by ignoring minor price movements. Traders can adjust the ATR Multiplier to make the indicator more or less sensitive based on market conditions. A lower multiplier (e.g., 1.2) may increase signal frequency, while a higher multiplier (e.g., 2.0) reduces it.
Originality:
The Trend CCI (TCCI) stands out due to its combination of the CCI and ATR. While many indicators simply plot raw CCI values, this script enhances the CCI’s effectiveness by incorporating an ATR-based volatility filter. This ensures that only significant trends trigger signals, making it a more reliable tool in volatile markets. The choice of the ATR period, multiplier, and CCI period ensures a refined balance between trend detection and noise reduction, distinguishing it as a powerful trend-following indicator.
Additionally, the visual aspect—using color-coded trendlines that dynamically shift between green and red—simplifies the interpretation of market trends, offering traders a clear and immediate understanding of trend direction and momentum strength.
Final Recommendations:
Use in Trending Markets The TCCI is most effective in trending markets, where its signals align with broader market momentum. In sideways or low-volatility markets, consider adjusting the ATR multiplier or using other complementary indicators to confirm the signals.
Risk Management: Always integrate robust risk management practices, such as using stop-loss orders and position sizing, to protect against sudden market reversals or periods of heightened volatility.
Adjust for Volatility: Consider the volatility of the asset being traded. In highly volatile assets, a higher ATR multiplier (e.g., 2.0) may be necessary to filter out noise, while in more stable assets, a lower multiplier (e.g., 1.2) might generate earlier signals.
By using the Trend CCI (TCCI) indicator with a deeper understanding of its key parameters, traders can better identify trends, reduce noise, and improve their overall decision-making in the markets.

Connors VIX Reversal III invented by Dave LandryThis strategy is based on trading signals derived from the behavior of the Volatility Index (VIX) relative to its 10-day moving average. The rules are split into buying and selling conditions:
Buy Conditions:
The VIX low must be above its 10-day moving average.
The VIX must close at least 10% above its 10-day moving average.
If both conditions are met, a buy signal is generated at the market's close.
Sell Conditions:
The VIX high must be below its 10-day moving average.
The VIX must close at least 10% below its 10-day moving average.
If both conditions are met, a sell signal is generated at the market's close.
Exit Conditions:
For long positions, the strategy exits when the VIX trades intraday below its previous day’s 10-day moving average.
For short positions, the strategy exits when the VIX trades intraday above its previous day’s 10-day moving average.
This strategy is primarily a mean-reversion strategy, where the market is expected to revert to a more normal state after the VIX exhibits extreme behavior (i.e., large deviations from its moving average).

About Connors Research
Connors Research is a financial research firm known for its quantitative research in financial markets. Founded by Larry Connors, the firm specializes in developing high-probability trading systems based on historical market behavior. Connors’ work is widely respected for its data-driven approach, including systems like the RSI(2) strategy, which focuses on short-term mean reversion. The firm also provides trading education and tools for institutional and retail traders alike, emphasizing strategies that can be backtested and quantified.
Risks of the Strategy
While this strategy may appear to offer promising opportunities to exploit extreme VIX movements, it carries several risks:
Market Volatility: The VIX itself is a measure of market volatility, meaning the strategy can be exposed to sudden and unpredictable market swings. This can result in whipsaws, where positions are opened and closed in rapid succession due to sharp reversals in the VIX.
Overfitting: Strategies based on specific conditions like the VIX closing 10% above or below its moving average can be subject to overfitting, meaning they work well in historical tests but may underperform in live markets. This is a common issue in quantitative trading systems that are not adaptable to changing market conditions .
Mean-Reversion Assumption: The core assumption behind this strategy is that markets will revert to their mean after extreme movements. However, during periods of sustained trends (e.g., market crashes or rallies), this assumption may break down, leading to prolonged drawdowns.
Liquidity and Slippage: Depending on the asset being traded (e.g., S&P 500 futures, ETFs), liquidity issues or slippage could occur when executing trades at market close, particularly in volatile conditions. This could increase costs or worsen trade execution.
Scientific Explanation of the Strategy
The VIX is often referred to as the "fear gauge" because it measures the market's expectations of volatility based on options prices. Research has shown that the VIX tends to spike during periods of market stress and revert to lower levels when conditions stabilize . Mean reversion strategies like this one assume that extreme VIX levels are unsustainable in the long run, which aligns with findings from academic literature on volatility and market behavior.
Studies have found that the VIX is inversely correlated with stock market returns, meaning that higher VIX levels often correspond to lower stock prices and vice versa . By using the VIX’s relationship with its 10-day moving average, this strategy aims to capture reversals in market sentiment. The 10% threshold is designed to identify moments when the VIX is significantly deviating from its norm, signaling a potential reversal.
However, academic research also highlights the limitations of relying on the VIX alone for trading signals. The VIX does not predict market direction, only volatility, meaning that it cannot indicate the magnitude of price movements . Furthermore, extreme VIX levels can persist longer than expected, particularly during financial crises.
In conclusion, while the strategy is grounded in well-established financial principles (e.g., mean reversion and the relationship between volatility and market performance), it carries inherent risks and should be used with caution. Backtesting and careful risk management are essential before applying this strategy in live markets.
RCYC Bullish Bearish Indicator
Summary: The RCYC Bullish Bearish Indicator is a custom trading tool designed to help traders identify potential bullish and bearish conditions in the market using a combination of KDJ and RSI indicators. This indicator uses color-coded candles to visually represent bullish and bearish signals, making it easy to identify trend changes on the chart. The script is particularly useful for traders who prefer visual signals and want to incorporate both trend momentum (KDJ) and relative strength (RSI) in their analysis.
Description:
The RCYC Bullish Bearish Indicator is a unique mashup of the KDJ and RSI indicators, optimized to provide a clear visual representation of market conditions through color-coded candles. This indicator not only identifies the potential trend shifts but also provides alerts for significant crossover points, enhancing a trader's ability to make informed decisions.
How It Works:
KDJ Calculation:
The KDJ is a variation of the Stochastic Oscillator that includes the %J line, which can go beyond the typical 0-100 range of %K and %D.
The KDJ component of this indicator calculates the highest high and lowest low over a specified period (KDJ Length), using these values to derive the %K line.
The %D line is a smoothed version of %K, and the %J line is derived from %K and %D using the formula: J = 3 * %K - 2 * %D.
This indicator focuses on the behavior of the %J line in relation to a mid-point level (50), identifying crossovers and crossunders that signal potential shifts in market sentiment.
RSI Calculation:
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It is widely used to identify overbought or oversold conditions.
In this indicator, RSI values are adjusted and plotted to align visually with the KDJ values, providing a complementary momentum analysis.
Crossover Logic and Candle Coloring:
The indicator tracks two main events:
CrossOver50: When the %J line crosses above the 50 level, indicating potential bullish momentum.
CrossUnder50: When the %J line crosses below the 50 level, indicating potential bearish momentum.
Depending on the crossover events, the script changes the color of the candles on the chart:
Red candles on the initial crossover above 50, followed by dark blue candles to maintain bullish sentiment.
Yellow candles on the initial crossover below 50, followed by light blue candles to maintain bearish sentiment.
Alerts:
The indicator includes alert conditions for both bullish and bearish signals:
Red Candle Alert: Notifies the trader when the %J line crosses above 50.
Yellow Candle Alert: Notifies the trader when the %J line crosses below 50.
These alerts allow traders to react promptly to key market signals without continuously monitoring the chart.
Usage and Benefits:
This indicator is designed for traders looking to combine momentum and trend analysis into a single visual tool. It is particularly useful for those trading in trending markets or looking for entry/exit signals based on momentum shifts.
The color-coded candles provide an intuitive way to assess market conditions at a glance, reducing the complexity associated with analyzing multiple indicators separately.
By integrating both KDJ and RSI, the RCYC Bullish Bearish Indicator offers a balanced approach to trend detection and momentum confirmation, making it versatile for various trading styles, including scalping, swing trading, and position trading.
Originality and Usefulness:
While the indicator builds upon the familiar concepts of KDJ and RSI, it uniquely merges them into a cohesive visual tool with distinct crossover-based alerts and candle coloring.
This approach makes the indicator original, as it simplifies the interpretation of complex signals into straightforward visual cues, enhancing the decision-making process for traders who prefer chart-based analysis.

Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA): The LSMA is calculated over a user-defined length using a linear regression model. It provides a smooth line that follows price trends more closely, reducing the noise that is often present in simple moving averages.
For Loop Scoring System: This system evaluates the LSMA over a range of previous values, generating a score based on whether the current LSMA is higher or lower than its previous values within the specified range. The resulting score reflects the strength of the trend, with higher scores indicating a stronger uptrend and lower scores signaling a downtrend.
Key Calculations:
LSMA Calculation: The LSMA is derived from the closing price over the selected period (len), providing a smooth moving average that fits the price data closely.
For Loop Scoring:
The loop iterates over a range of previous LSMA values, comparing the current LSMA to each past value.
If the current LSMA is higher than a previous value, a positive score is added; if it is lower, a negative score is added. The sum of these comparisons forms the overall score.
Features and User Inputs
The "Lsma For Loop" script offers a range of customization options, allowing traders to tailor the indicator to their specific trading strategies and market conditions:
LSMA Length: Adjust the length of the LSMA, controlling the smoothness of the indicator and how quickly it reacts to price changes.

Uptrick: TimeFrame Trends: Performance & Sentiment Indicator### **Uptrick: TimeFrame Trends: Performance & Sentiment Indicator (TFT) - In-Depth Explanation**
#### **Overview**
The **Uptrick: TimeFrame Trends: Performance & Sentiment Indicator (TFT)** is a sophisticated trading tool designed to provide traders with a comprehensive view of market trends across multiple timeframes, combined with a sentiment gauge through the Relative Strength Index (RSI). This indicator offers a unique blend of performance analysis, sentiment evaluation, and visual signal generation, making it an invaluable resource for traders who seek to understand both the macro and micro trends within a financial instrument.
#### **Purpose**
The primary purpose of the TFT indicator is to empower traders with the ability to assess the performance of an asset over various timeframes while simultaneously gauging market sentiment through the RSI. By analyzing price changes over periods ranging from one week to one year, and complementing this with sentiment signals, TFT enables traders to make informed decisions based on a well-rounded analysis of historical price performance and current market conditions.
#### **Key Components and Features**
1. **Multi-Timeframe Performance Analysis:**
- **Performance Lookback Periods:**
- The TFT indicator calculates the percentage price change over several predefined timeframes: 7 days (1 week), 14 days (2 weeks), 30 days (1 month), 180 days (6 months), and 365 days (1 year). These timeframes provide a layered view of how an asset has performed over short, medium, and long-term periods.
- **Percentage Change Calculation:**
- The indicator computes the percentage change for each timeframe by comparing the current closing price to the closing price at the start of each period. This gives traders insight into the strength and direction of the trend over different periods, helping them identify consistent trends or potential reversals.
2. **Sentiment Analysis Using RSI:**
- **Relative Strength Index (RSI):**
- RSI is a widely-used momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It oscillates between 0 and 100 and is typically used to identify overbought or oversold conditions. In TFT, the RSI is calculated using a 14-period lookback, which is standard for most RSI implementations.
- **RSI Smoothing with EMA:**
- To refine the RSI signal and reduce noise, TFT applies a 10-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to the RSI values. This smoothed RSI is then used to generate buy, sell, and neutral signals based on its position relative to the 50 level:
- **Buy Signal:** Triggered when the smoothed RSI crosses above 50, indicating bullish sentiment.
- **Sell Signal:** Triggered when the smoothed RSI crosses below 50, indicating bearish sentiment.
- **Neutral Signal:** Triggered when the smoothed RSI equals 50, suggesting indecision or a balanced market.
3. **Visual Signal Generation:**
- **Signal Plots:**
- TFT provides clear visual cues directly on the price chart by plotting shapes at the points where buy, sell, or neutral signals are generated. These shapes are color-coded (green for buy, red for sell, yellow for neutral) and are positioned below or above the price bars for easy identification.
- **First Occurrence Trigger:**
- To avoid clutter and focus on significant market shifts, TFT only triggers the first occurrence of each signal type. This feature helps traders concentrate on the most relevant signals without being overwhelmed by repeated alerts.
4. **Customizable Performance & Sentiment Table:**
- **Table Display:**
- The TFT indicator includes a customizable table that displays the calculated percentage changes for each timeframe. This table is positioned on the chart according to user preference (top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right) and provides a quick reference to the asset’s performance across multiple periods.
- **Dynamic Text Color:**
- To enhance readability and provide immediate visual feedback, the text color in the table changes based on the direction of the percentage change: green for positive (upward movement) and red for negative (downward movement). This color-coding helps traders quickly assess whether the asset is in an uptrend or downtrend for each period.
- **Customizable Font Size:**
- Traders can adjust the font size of the table to fit their chart layout and personal preferences, ensuring that the information is accessible without being intrusive.
5. **Flexibility and Customization:**
- **Lookback Period Customization:**
- While the default lookback periods are set for common trading intervals (7 days, 14 days, etc.), these can be adjusted to match different trading strategies or market conditions. This flexibility allows traders to tailor the indicator to focus on the timeframes most relevant to their analysis.
- **RSI and EMA Settings:**
- The length of the RSI calculation and the smoothing EMA can also be customized. This is particularly useful for traders who prefer shorter or longer periods for their momentum analysis, allowing them to fine-tune the sensitivity of the indicator.
- **Table Position and Appearance:**
- The table’s position on the chart, along with its font size and colors, is fully customizable. This ensures that the indicator can be integrated seamlessly into any chart setup without obstructing key price data.
#### **Use Cases and Applications**
1. **Trend Identification and Confirmation:**
- **Short-Term Traders:**
- Traders focused on short-term movements can use the 7-day and 14-day performance metrics to identify recent trends and momentum shifts. The RSI signals provide additional confirmation, helping traders enter or exit positions based on the latest market sentiment.
- **Swing Traders:**
- For those holding positions over days to weeks, the 30-day and 180-day performance data are particularly useful. These metrics highlight medium-term trends, and when combined with RSI signals, they provide a robust framework for swing trading strategies.
- **Long-Term Investors:**
- Long-term investors can benefit from the 1-year performance data to gauge the overall health and direction of an asset. The indicator’s ability to track performance across different periods helps in identifying long-term trends and potential reversal points.
2. **Sentiment Analysis and Market Timing:**
- **Market Sentiment Tracking:**
- By using RSI in conjunction with performance metrics, TFT provides a clear picture of market sentiment. Traders can use this information to time their entries and exits more effectively, aligning their trades with periods of strong bullish or bearish sentiment.
- **Avoiding False Signals:**
- The smoothing of RSI helps reduce noise and avoid false signals that are common in volatile markets. This makes the TFT indicator a reliable tool for identifying true market trends and avoiding whipsaws that can lead to losses.
3. **Comprehensive Market Analysis:**
- **Multi-Timeframe Analysis:**
- TFT’s ability to analyze multiple timeframes simultaneously makes it an excellent tool for comprehensive market analysis. Traders can compare short-term and long-term performance to understand the broader market context, making it easier to align their trading strategies with the overall trend.
- **Performance Benchmarking:**
- The percentage change metrics provide a clear benchmark for an asset’s performance over time. This information can be used to compare the asset against broader market indices or other assets, helping traders make more informed decisions about where to allocate their capital.
4. **Custom Strategy Development:**
- **Tailoring to Specific Markets:**
- TFT can be customized to suit different markets, whether it’s stocks, forex, commodities, or cryptocurrencies. For instance, traders in volatile markets may opt for shorter lookback periods and more sensitive RSI settings, while those in stable markets may prefer longer periods for a smoother analysis.
- **Integrating with Other Indicators:**
- TFT can be used alongside other technical indicators to create a more comprehensive trading strategy. For example, combining TFT with moving averages, Bollinger Bands, or MACD can provide additional layers of confirmation and reduce the likelihood of false signals.
#### **Best Practices for Using TFT**
- **Regularly Adjust Lookback Periods:**
- Depending on the market conditions and the asset being traded, it’s important to regularly review and adjust the lookback periods for the performance metrics. This ensures that the indicator remains relevant and responsive to current market trends.
- **Combine with Volume Analysis:**
- While TFT provides a solid foundation for trend and sentiment analysis, combining it with volume indicators can further enhance its effectiveness. Volume can confirm the strength of a trend or signal potential reversals when divergences occur.
- **Use RSI with Other Momentum Indicators:**

Uptrick: SMA Pivot Marker### Uptrick: SMA Pivot Marker (SPM) — Extensive Guide
#### Introduction
The **Uptrick: SMA Pivot Marker (SPM)** is a sophisticated technical analysis tool crafted by Uptrick to help traders interpret market trends and identify key price levels where significant reversals might occur. By integrating the principles of the Simple Moving Average (SMA) with pivot point analysis, the SPM offers a comprehensive approach to understanding market dynamics. This extensive guide explores the purpose, functionality, and practical applications of the SPM, providing an in-depth analysis of its features, settings, and usage across various trading strategies.
#### Purpose of the SPM
The **SMA Pivot Marker (SPM)** aims to enhance trading strategies by offering a dual approach to market analysis:
1. **Trend Identification**:
- **Objective**: To discern the prevailing market direction and guide trading decisions based on the overall trend.
- **Method**: Utilizes the SMA to smooth out price fluctuations, providing a clearer picture of the trend. This helps traders align their trades with the market's direction, increasing the probability of successful trades.
2. **Pivot Point Detection**:
- **Objective**: To identify key levels where the price is likely to reverse, providing potential support and resistance zones.
- **Method**: Calculates and marks pivot highs and lows, which are significant price points where previous trends have reversed. These levels are used to predict future price movements and establish trading strategies.
3. **Trend Change Alerts**:
- **Objective**: To notify traders of potential shifts in market direction, enabling timely adjustments to trading positions.
- **Method**: Detects and highlights crossover and crossunder points of the smoothed line, indicating possible trend changes. This helps traders react promptly to changing market conditions.
#### Detailed Functionality
1. **Smoothing Line Calculation**:
- **Simple Moving Average (SMA)**:
- **Definition**: The SMA is a type of moving average that calculates the average of a security’s price over a specified number of periods. It smooths out price data to filter out short-term fluctuations and highlight the longer-term trend.
- **Calculation**: The SMA is computed by summing the closing prices of the chosen number of periods and then dividing by the number of periods. For example, a 20-period SMA adds the closing prices for the past 20 periods and divides by 20.
- **Purpose**: The SMA helps in identifying the direction of the trend. A rising SMA indicates an uptrend, while a falling SMA indicates a downtrend. This smoothing helps traders to avoid being misled by short-term price noise.
2. **Pivot Points Calculation**:
- **Pivot Highs and Lows**:
- **Definition**: Pivot points are significant price levels where a market trend is likely to reverse. A pivot high is the highest price over a certain period, surrounded by lower prices on both sides, while a pivot low is the lowest price surrounded by higher prices.
- **Calculation**: The SPM calculates pivot points based on a user-defined lookback period. For instance, if the lookback period is set to 3, the indicator will find the highest and lowest prices within the past 3 periods and mark these points.
- **Purpose**: Pivot points are used to identify potential support and resistance levels. Traders often use these levels to set entry and exit points, stop-loss orders, and to gauge market sentiment.
3. **Visualization**:
- **Smoothed Line Plot**:
- **Description**: The smoothed line, calculated using the SMA, is plotted on the chart to provide a visual representation of the trend. This line adjusts its color based on the trend direction, helping traders quickly assess the market condition.
- **Color Coding**: The smoothed line is colored green (upColor) when it is rising, indicating a bullish trend, and red (downColor) when it is falling, indicating a bearish trend. This color-coding helps traders visually differentiate between uptrends and downtrends.
- **Line Width**: The width of the line can be adjusted to improve visibility. A thicker line may be more noticeable, while a thinner line might provide a cleaner look on the chart.
- **Pivot Markers**:
- **Description**: Pivot highs and lows are marked on the chart with lines and labels. These markers help in visually identifying significant price levels.
- **Color and Labels**: Pivot highs are represented with green lines and labels ("H"), while pivot lows are marked with red lines and labels ("L"). This color scheme and labeling make it easy to distinguish between resistance (highs) and support (lows).
4. **Trend Change Detection**:
- **Trend Up**:
- **Detection**: The indicator identifies an upward trend change when the smoothed line crosses above its previous value. This crossover suggests a potential shift from a downtrend to an uptrend.
- **Usage**: Traders can interpret this signal as a potential buying opportunity or an indication to review and possibly adjust their trading positions to align with the new uptrend.
- **Trend Down**:
- **Detection**: A downward trend change is detected when the smoothed line crosses below its previous value. This crossunder indicates a potential shift from an uptrend to a downtrend.
- **Usage**: This signal can be used to consider selling opportunities or to reassess long positions in light of the emerging downtrend.
#### User Inputs
1. **Smoothing Period**:
- **Description**: This input determines the number of periods over which the SMA is calculated. It directly affects the smoothness of the line and the sensitivity of trend detection.
- **Range**: The smoothing period can be set to any integer value greater than or equal to 1. There is no specified upper limit, offering flexibility for various trading styles.
- **Default Value**: The default smoothing period is 20, which is a common choice for medium-term trend analysis.
- **Impact**: A longer smoothing period results in a smoother line, filtering out more noise and highlighting long-term trends. A shorter period makes the line more responsive to recent price changes, which can be useful for short-term trading strategies.
2. **Pivot Lookback**:
- **Description**: This input specifies the number of periods used to calculate the pivot highs and lows. It influences the sensitivity of pivot point detection and the relevance of the identified levels.
- **Range**: The pivot lookback period can be set to any integer value greater than or equal to 1, with no upper limit. Traders can adjust this parameter based on their trading timeframe and preferences.
- **Default Value**: The default lookback period is 3, which provides a balance between detecting significant pivots and avoiding excessive noise.
- **Impact**: A longer lookback period generates more stable pivot points, suitable for identifying long-term support and resistance levels. A shorter lookback period results in more frequent and recent pivot points, useful for intraday trading and quick responses to price changes.
#### Applications for Different Traders
1. **Trend Followers**:
- **Using the SMA**: Trend followers utilize the smoothed line to gauge the direction of the market. By aligning trades with the direction of the SMA, traders can capitalize on sustained trends and improve their chances of success.
- **Trend Change Alerts**: The trend change markers alert trend followers to potential shifts in market direction. These alerts help traders make timely decisions to enter or exit positions, ensuring they stay aligned with the prevailing trend.
2. **Reversal Traders**:
- **Pivot Points**: Reversal traders focus on pivot highs and lows to identify potential reversal points in the market. These points indicate where the market has previously reversed direction, providing potential entry and exit levels for trades.
- **Pivot Markers**: The visual markers for pivot highs and lows serve as clear signals for reversal traders. By monitoring these levels, traders can anticipate price reversals and plan their trades to exploit these opportunities.
3. **Swing Traders**:
- **Combining SMA and Pivot Points**: Swing traders can use the combination of the smoothed line and pivot points to identify medium-term trading opportunities. The smoothed line helps in understanding the broader trend, while pivot points provide specific levels for potential swings.
- **Trend Change Alerts**: Trend change markers help swing traders spot new swing opportunities as the market shifts direction. These markers provide potential entry points for swing trades and help traders adjust their strategies to capitalize on market movements.
4. **Scalpers**:
- **Short-Term Analysis**: Scalpers benefit from the short-term signals provided by the SPM. The smoothed line and pivot points offer insights into rapid price movements, while the trend change markers highlight quick trading opportunities.
- **Pivot Points**: For scalpers, pivot points are particularly useful in identifying key levels where price may reverse within a short time frame. By focusing on these levels, scalpers can plan trades with tight stop-loss orders and capitalize on quick price changes.
#### Implementation and Best Practices
1. **Setting Parameters**:
- **Smoothing Period**: Adjust the smoothing period according to your trading strategy and market conditions. For long-term analysis, use a longer period to filter out noise and highlight broader trends. For short-term trading, a shorter period provides more immediate insights into price movements.
- **Pivot Lookback**: Choose a lookback period that matches your trading timeframe. For intraday trading, a shorter lookback period offers quick identification of recent price levels. For swing trading or long-term strategies, a longer lookback period provides more stable pivot points.
2. **Combining with Other Indicators**:
- **Integration with Technical Tools**: The SPM can be used in conjunction with other technical indicators to enhance trading decisions. For instance, combining the
SPM with indicators like RSI (Relative Strength Index) or MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) can provide additional confirmation for trend signals and pivot points.
- **Support and Resistance**: Integrate the SPM’s pivot points with other support and resistance levels to gain a comprehensive view of market conditions. This combined approach helps in identifying stronger levels of support and resistance, improving trade accuracy.
3. **Backtesting**:
- **Historical Performance**: Conduct backtesting with historical data to evaluate the effectiveness of the SPM. Analyze past performance to fine-tune the smoothing period and pivot lookback settings, ensuring they align with your trading style and market conditions.
- **Scenario Analysis**: Test the SPM under various market scenarios to understand its performance in different conditions. This analysis helps in assessing the reliability of the indicator and making necessary adjustments for diverse market environments.
4. **Customization**:

Volatility Projection Levels (VPL)### Indicator Name: **Volatility Projection Levels (VPL)**
### Description:
The **Volatility Projection Levels (VPL)** indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders anticipate key support and resistance levels for the E-mini S&P 500 (ES) by leveraging the CBOE Volatility Index (^VIX). This indicator utilizes historical volatility data to project potential price movements for the upcoming month, offering clear visual cues that enhance swing trading strategies.
### Key Features:
- **Volatility-Based Projections**: The VPL indicator uses the previous month’s closing value of the VIX, normalizing it for monthly analysis by dividing by the square root of 12. This calculated percentage is then applied to the E-mini S&P 500’s closing price from the last day of the previous month.
- **Upper and Lower Projection Levels**: The indicator calculates two essential levels:
- **Upper Projection Level**: The previous month’s closing price of the E-mini S&P 500 plus the calculated volatility percentage.
- **Lower Projection Level**: The previous month’s closing price of the E-mini S&P 500 minus the calculated volatility percentage.
- **Continuous Visualization**: The VPL indicator plots these projection levels on the chart throughout the entire month, providing traders with a consistent reference for potential support and resistance zones. This continuous visualization allows for better anticipation of market movements.
- **Previous Month's Close Reference**: Additionally, the indicator plots the previous month’s closing price as a reference point, offering further context for current price action.
### Use Cases:
- **Swing Trading**: The VPL indicator is ideal for swing traders looking to exploit predicted price ranges within a monthly timeframe.
- **Support & Resistance Identification**: It aids traders in identifying critical levels where the market may encounter support or resistance, thus informing entry and exit decisions.
- **Risk Management**: By forecasting potential price levels, traders can set more strategic stop-loss and take-profit levels, enhancing risk management.
### Summary:
The **Volatility Projection Levels (VPL)** indicator equips traders with a forward-looking tool that incorporates volatility data into market analysis. By projecting key price levels based on historical VIX data, the VPL indicator enhances decision-making, helping traders anticipate market movements and optimize their trading strategies.

Three Anchored Moving Averages (VWAP / SMA / EMA)
This indicator allows users to anchor three types of moving averages (Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)) to specific points in time (anchor points)
Key Features:
Select from three Moving Average Types:
Simple Moving Average (SMA): Averages the closing prices over a specified period.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to new information.
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP): Averages the price weighted by volume, useful for understanding the average price at which the asset has traded over a period.
Up to Three Anchor Points:
Users can set up to three different anchor points to calculate the moving averages from specific dates and times. This allows for analysis of price action starting from significant points or specific events. For example, you can anchor to the low and high of a move to identify key levels or to points where the price takes off from a previous anchored MA.
Customisable Sentiment Options:
Each anchor point can be associated with a sentiment input (Auto, Bull, Bear, None), which influences if the MAs are displayed as lines or zones/bands:
Auto: Automatically determines the sentiment based on whether anchor points are on pivot highs and lows. If anchored to a pivot high, the system will assume a bearish sentiment and display a red band or zone between the MA OHLC4 and High. Anchoring to a pivot low will display a green band (OHLC4 - Low).
Bull: Forces a bullish sentiment (Green Band - OHLC4 to Low)
Bear: Forces a bearish sentiment (Red Band - OHLC4 to High)
None: Ignores sentiment and displays a single line (OHLC4)
Chart Matching:
The indicator includes an option to display the moving averages only if the chart symbol matches a specified ticker. This feature ensures that the indicator is relevant to the specific asset being analysed.
How to Use the Indicator:
1. Set Anchor Points: When added to your chart, select three anchor points by point and click. If you only wish to anchor to a single point, click on that point three times and disable the other two in settings once the indicator is applied.
2. Select Moving Average Type: Choose between SMA, EMA, or VWAP using the dropdown menu. EMAs are the most responsive.
3. Enable/Disable Anchor Points: Use the checkboxes to enable or disable each anchor point.
4. Select Sentiment Type: Choose between Auto, Bull, Bear, or None.
5. Chart Matching: Optionally, specify a chart symbol to restrict the indicator's display to that particular asset.
6. Interpret the Plots: The indicator plots the high, mid, and low values of the selected moving average type from each anchor point. The fills between these plots help identify potential support and resistance zones. These should be used as points of interest for pullback reversals or potential continuation if the price breaks through.
Practical Applications:
Trend Analysis: Identify the overall trend direction from specific historical points.
Support and Resistance: Determine key dynamic support and resistance levels based on anchored moving averages.
Event-Based Analysis: Anchor the moving averages to significant events (e.g., earnings releases, economic data) to study their impact on price trends.
Multi Timeframe Analysis: Higher Timeframe Anchors can be used to identify longer term trend analysis. Switching to a lower timeframe for execution triggers at these points wont distort the MA levels as they are anchored to a specific point in time
Intraday or Swing Trading: trend analysis using anchor points can be used for any style of trading (Intraday / Swing / Invest). Use anchored levels as points of interest and wait for hints in price action to try and catch the next move.
MTF-Colored EMA Difference and Stochastic indicatorThis indicator combines two popular technical analysis tools: the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the Stochastic Oscillator, with the added flexibility of analyzing them across multiple time frames. It visually represents the difference between two EMAs and the crossover signals from the Stochastic Oscillator, providing a comprehensive view of the market conditions.
Components:
EMA Difference Histogram :
EMA Calculation : The indicator calculates two EMAs (EMA1 and EMA2) for the selected time frame.
EMA Difference : The difference between EMA1 and EMA2 is plotted as a 4 coloured histogram.
Stochastic Oscillato r:
Calculation : The %K and %D lines of the Stochastic Oscillator are calculated for the selected time frame.
Additional Confirmation via Colors :
Green: %K is above %D, indicating a bullish signal.
Red: %K is below %D, indicating a bearish signal.
Entry and Exit Strategies
Entry Strategy :
Bullish Entry :
Condition 1: The histogram is Dark green (indicating a strong upward trend).
Condition 2: The Stochastic colour is green (%K is above %D).
Bearish Entry :
Condition 1: The histogram is Dark Red (indicating a strong downward trend).
Condition 2: The Stochastic colour is red (%K is below %D).
Exit Strategy:
Bullish Exit:
Condition: The Stochastic colour turns red (%K crosses below %D).
Bearish Exit:
Condition: The Stochastic colour turns green (%K crosses above %D).
Additional Considerations:
Time Frame Selection : The chosen time frame for both the EMA and Stochastic calculations should align with the trader’s strategy (e.g., daily for swing trading, hourly for intraday trading).
Risk Management : Implement stop-loss orders to manage risk effectively. The stop-loss can be placed below the recent swing low for long positions and above the recent swing high for short positions.
Confirmation : Consider using this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm signals and reduce the likelihood of false entries and exits.
Groupings [SS]Hey everyone,
Releasing this indicator called groupings.
If you watch/read my analyses on Tradingview, you will have heard me talk about groups. Groups is something I invented. What it is, is just taking the Euclidean Distance (ED) of the previous 5 candles in a specified period (i.e. daily timeframe, weekly, 1 minute, 5 minute, etc.) and rounding the ED up to a whole number.
I have had great success in this approach because the information provided is broad enough to give leniency in interpretation but narrow enough to hone in on potential moves and target prices.
This indicator is a simplified version of how I do groupings in other software, however it is no less powerful!
What do groups tell us?
A "group" takes into account the previous 5 candles, using the ED. This gives Pinescript a general idea of what the short term trend looks like mathematically. From there, Pinescript can look for other groups that looked similar to how this current trend looks. From there, it can offer us insights into what tends to happen in candles subsequent to this group. For example, the ATR range, the close range and whether it is bearish or bullish.
And that is precisely how this indicator operates, Pinescript will calculate the group of the previous 5 canndles in the timeframe period you are looking at. It will then lookback over the designated "train" length and identify previous groups, and what happened in those groups. It looks specifically at:
- What is that average High ATR associated with that group,
- What is the average Low ATR associated with that group,
- What is the average close range associated with that group,
- What is the sentiment associated with that group.
How to use the indicator?
In terms of use, the indicator is relatively simple to use. It will plot three lines, a red for the anticipated low range, a green for the anticipated high range and purple for the opening range (where the current candle opened at).
In addition, it will plot a dot for the anticipated close area. When the dot is green, it expects a bullish close. When the dot is red, it expects a bearish close.
The indicator is going to give you a heads up as to whether we are in a bullish group, what you can anticipate the high and low range to be and where you can anticipate the close.
Of course, its not always exact, as in the image above you can see it underestimated the high range and over-estimated the low range; however, we did close within the anticipate range.
The indicator is meant to help you with your bias. I will reference this indicator on the daily timeframe at open to see what the expectations are for the day.
However, you can use it on any timeframe you wish.
Other functions:
The indicator can plot the EMA 9, 21 and 5. These are the 3 indicators I like and I find them helpful for both intraday and swing trading. However, they can be toggled off if you do not wish to view them.
In addition, the EMAs will be green if the ticker is trending above the EMA 21 (which is a critical EMA for me to determine the immediate sentiment). If the ticker is below, they will turn red.
There is also the ability to adjust the train time. The default is 1,000 candles back, but I usually have it on 1500. If you have a lot of indicators and a lot going on, on your chart, you may find that 1500 is too much and it will lag/error. That’s okay, 500 candles is sufficient and will not put a lot of stress on Pinescript.
Concluding remarks
Its overall a fairly simple concept and indicator, but it has been a neat and helpful / insightful invention. I originally developed this using R and happy to have now brought it into Pinescript.
I hope you enjoy!
Safe trades everyone!
