Auto Trend ProjectionAuto Trend Projection is an indicator designed to automatically project the short-term trend based on historical price data. It utilizes a dynamic calculation method to determine the slope of the linear regression line, which represents the trend direction. The indicator takes into account multiple length inputs and calculates the deviation and Pearson's R values for each length.
Using the highest Pearson's R value, Auto Trend Projection identifies the optimal length for the trend projection. This ensures that the projected trend aligns closely with the historical price data.
The indicator visually displays the projected trend using trendlines. These trendlines extend into the future, providing a visual representation of the potential price movement in the short term. The color and style of the trendlines can be customized according to user preferences.
Auto Trend Projection simplifies the process of trend analysis by automating the projection of short-term trends. Traders and investors can use this indicator to gain insights into potential price movements and make informed trading decisions.
Please note that Auto Trend Projection is not a standalone trading strategy but a tool to assist in trend analysis. It is recommended to combine it with other technical analysis tools and indicators for comprehensive market analysis.
Overall, Auto Trend Projection offers a convenient and automated approach to projecting short-term trends, empowering traders with valuable insights into the potential price direction.

Double Candle Trend Counter [theEccentricTrader]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator counts the number of confirmed double candle trend scenarios on any given candlestick chart and displays the statistics in a table, which can be repositioned and resized at the user's discretion.
█ CONCEPTS
Green and Red Candles
• A green candle is one that closes with a close price equal to or above the price it opened.
• A red candle is one that closes with a close price that is lower than the price it opened.
Upper Candle Trends
• A higher high candle is one that closes with a higher high price than the high price of the preceding candle.
• A lower high candle is one that closes with a lower high price than the high price of the preceding candle.
• A double-top candle is one that closes with a high price that is equal to the high price of the preceding candle.
Lower Candle Trends
• A higher low candle is one that closes with a higher low price than the low price of the preceding candle.
• A lower low candle is one that closes with a lower low price than the low price of the preceding candle.
• A double-bottom candle is one that closes with a low price that is equal to the low price of the preceding candle.
Muti-Part Upper and Lower Candle Trends
• A multi-part higher high trend begins with the formation of a new higher high and continues until a new lower high ends the trend.
• A multi-part lower high trend begins with the formation of a new lower high and continues until a new higher high ends the trend.
• A multi-part higher low trend begins with the formation of a new higher low and continues until a new lower low ends the trend.
• A multi-part lower low trend begins with the formation of a new lower low and continues until a new higher low ends the trend.
Double Candle Trends
• A double uptrend candle trend is formed when a candle closes with both a higher high and a higher low.
• A double downtrend candle trend is formed when a candle closes with both a lower high and a lower low.
Multi-Part Double Candle Trends
• A multi-part double uptrend candle trend begins with the formation of a new double uptrend candle trend and continues until a new lower high or lower low ends the trend.
• A multi-part double downtrend candle trend begins with the formation of a new double downtrend candle trend and continues until a new higher high or higher low ends the trend.

Table
The table is colour coded, consists of seven columns and, as many as, thirty-two rows. Blue cells denote the multi-part trend scenarios, green cells denote the corresponding double uptrend candle trend scenarios and red cells denote the corresponding double downtrend candle trend scenarios.
The multi-part double candle trend scenarios are listed in the first column with their corresponding total counts to the right, in the second and fifth columns. The last row in column one, displays the sample period which can be adjusted or hidden via indicator settings.
The third and sixth columns display the double candle trend scenarios as percentages of total 1-part double candle trends. And columns four and seven display the total double candle trend scenarios as percentages of the last, or preceding double candle trend part. For example 4-part double uptrend candle trends as percentages of 3-part double uptrend candle trends.
Plots
I have added plots as a visual aid to the double candle trend scenarios. Green up-arrows, with the number of the trend part, denote double uptrend candle trends. Red down-arrows, with the number of the trend part, denote double downtrend candle trends.
█ HOW TO USE
This indicator is intended for research purposes, strategy development and strategy optimisation. I hope it will be useful in helping to gain a better understanding of the underlying dynamics at play on any given market and timeframe.
It can, for example, give you an idea of whether the current double candle trend will continue or fail, based on the current trend scenario and what has happened in the past under similar circumstances. Such information can be useful when conducting top down analysis across multiple timeframes and making strategic decisions.
What you do with these statistics and how far you decide to take your research is entirely up to you, the possibilities are endless.
█ LIMITATIONS
Some higher timeframe candles on tickers with larger lookbacks such as the DXY , do not actually contain all the open, high, low and close (OHLC) data at the beginning of the chart. Instead, they use the close price for open, high and low prices. So, while we can determine whether the close price is higher or lower than the preceding close price, there is no way of knowing what actually happened intra-bar for these candles. And by default candles that close at the same price as the open price, will be counted as green. You can avoid this problem by utilising the sample period filter.
It is also worth noting that the sample size will be limited to your Trading View subscription plan. Premium users get 20,000 candles worth of data, pro+ and pro users get 10,000, and basic users get 5,000. If upgrading is currently not an option, you can always keep a rolling tally of the statistics in an excel spreadsheet or something of the like.
EMA bands + leledc + bollinger bands trend following strategy v2The basics:
In its simplest form, this strategy is a positional trend following strategy which enters long when price breaks out above "middle" EMA bands and closes or flips short when price breaks down below "middle" EMA bands. The top and bottom of the middle EMA bands are calculated from the EMA of candle highs and lows, respectively.
The idea is that entering trades on breakouts of the high EMAs and low EMAs rather than the typical EMA based on candle closes gives a bit more confirmation of trend strength and minimizes getting chopped up. To further reduce getting chopped up, the strategy defaults to close on crossing the opposite EMA band (ie. long on break above high EMA middle band and close below low EMA middle band).
This strategy works on all markets on all timeframes, but as a trend following strategy it works best on markets prone to trending such as crypto and tech stocks. On lower timeframes, longer EMAs tend to work best (I've found good results on EMA lengths even has high up to 1000), while 4H charts and above tend to work better with EMA lengths 21 and below.
As an added filter to confirm the trend, a second EMA can be used. Inputting a slower EMA filter can ensure trades are entered in accordance with longer term trends, inputting a faster EMA filter can act as confirmation of breakout strength.
Bar coloring can be enabled to quickly visually identify a trend's direction for confluence with other indicators or strategies.
The goods:
Waiting for the trend to flip before closing a trade (especially when a longer base EMA is used) often leaves money on the table. This script combines a number of ways to identify when a trend is exhausted for backtesting the best early exits.
"Delayed bars inside middle bands" - When a number of candle's in a row open and close between the middle EMA bands, it could be a sign the trend is weak, or that the breakout was not the start of a new trend. Selecting this will close out positions after a number of bars has passed
"Leledc bars" - Originally introduced by glaz, this is a price action indicator that highlights a candle after a number of bars in a row close the same direction and result in greatest high/low over a period. It often triggers when a strong trend has paused before further continuation, or it marks the end of a trend. To mitigate closing on false Leledc signals, this strategy has two options: 1. Introducing requirement for increased volume on the Leledc bars can help filter out Leledc signals that happen mid trend. 2. Closing after a number of Leledc bars appear after position opens. These two options work great in isolation but don't perform well together in my testing.
"Bollinger Bands exhaustion bars" - These bars are highlighted when price closes back inside the Bollinger Bands and RSI is within specified overbought/sold zones. The idea is that a trend is overextended when price trades beyond the Bollinger Bands. When price closes back inside the bands it's likely due for mean reversion back to the base EMA in which this strategy will ideally re-enter a position. Since the added RSI requirements often make this indicator too strict to trigger a large enough sample size to backtest, I've found it best to use "non-standard" settings for both the bands and the RSI as seen in the default settings.
"Buy/Sell zones" - Similar to the idea behind using Bollinger Bands exhaustion bars as a closing signal. Instead of calculating off of standard deviations, the Buy/Sell zones are calculated off multiples of the middle EMA bands. When trading beyond these zones and subsequently failing back inside, price may be due for mean reversion back to the base EMA. No RSI filter is used for Buy/Sell zones.
If any early close conditions are selected, it's often worth enabling trade re-entry on "middle EMA band bounce". Instead of waiting for a candle to close back inside the middle EMA bands, this feature will re-enter position on only a wick back into the middle bands as will sometimes happen when the trend is strong.
Any and all of the early close conditions can be combined. Experimenting with these, I've found can result in less net profit but higher win-rates and sharpe ratios as less time is spent in trades.
The deadly:
The trend is your friend. But wouldn't it be nice to catch the trends early? In ranging markets (or when using slower base EMAs in this strategy), waiting for confirmation of a breakout of the EMA bands at best will cause you to miss half the move, at worst will result in getting consistently chopped up. Enabling "counter-trend" trades on this strategy will allow the strategy to enter positions on the opposite side of the EMA bands on either a Leledc bar or Bollinger Bands exhaustion bar. There is a filter requiring either a high/low (for Leledc) or open (for BB bars) outside the selected inner or outer Buy/Sell zone. There are also a number of different close conditions for the counter-trend trades to experiment with and backtest.
There are two ways I've found best to use counter-trend trades
1. Mean reverting scalp trades when a trend is clearly overextended. Selecting from the first 5 counter-trend closing conditions on the dropdown list will usually close the trades out quickly, with less profit but less risk.
2. Trying to catch trends early. Selecting any of the close conditions below the first 5 can cause the strategy to behave as if it's entering into a new trend (from the wrong side).
This feature can be deadly effective in profiting from every move price makes, or deadly to the strategy's PnL if not set correctly. Since counter-trend trades open opposite the middle bands, a stop-loss is recommended to reduce risk. If stop-losses for counter-trend trades are disabled, the strategy will hold a position open often until liquidation in a trending market if th trade is offsides. Note that using a slower base EMA makes counter-trend stop-losses even more necessary as it can reduce the effectiveness of the Buy/Sell zone filter for opening the trades as price can spend a long time trending outside the zones. If faster EMAs (34 and below) are used with "Inner" Buy/Zone filter selected, the first few closing conditions will often trigger almost immediately closing the trade at a loss.
The niche:
I've added a feature to default into longs or shorts. Enabling these with other features (aside from the basic long/short on EMA middle band breakout) tends to break the strategy one way or another. Enabling default long works to simulate trying to acquire more of the asset rather than the base currency. Enabling default short can have positive results for those high FDV, high inflation coins that go down-only for months at a time. Otherwise, I use default short as a hedge for coins that I hold and stake spot. I gain the utility and APR of staking while reducing the risk of holding the underlying asset by maintaining a net neutral position *most* of the time.
Disclaimer:
This script is intended for experimenting and backtesting different strategies around EMA bands. Use this script for your live trading at your own risk. I am a rookie coder, as such there may be errors in the code that cause the strategy to behave not as intended. As far as I can tell it doesn't repaint, but I cannot guarantee that it does not. That being said if there's any question, improvements, or errors you've found, drop a comment below!
Breakout Trend Follower V2This is a variation on my other Breakout Trend Follower script. In the other script, you can use a moving average to act as a filter for your trades (i.e. if the price is below the moving average, it won't go long). After making the tool that detects trends on higher timeframes, I wanted to see if that might be a better filter than a moving average.
So this script lets you look at higher time frame trends (i.e. are there higher highs and higher lows? If so, this is an uptrend). You only take trades when you are with the trend. You have the ability to select up to two trends to act as a filter. Each trend direction is shown on a table on the chart for easy reference. The current pivot highs and lows are plotted on the chart so you can see when you might be breaking both the current timeframe's trend and higher level trends.
What I found was that in general this does not perform as well as the other strategy, but it does seem to be a lot more picky with trades. Showing higher win rates and a better profit factor. It just takes a lot less trades and the net profit isn't as good.
+ ALMA Trend DetectorHi, again. Here I have a nice moving average script designed to get you into trends and keep you in trends until the opportune moment comes to exit. And, as with any indicator, or suite of indicators, designed to get one into trends and keep him/her in a trend, they do not do so well in chop/ranging/mean reversion conditions, though I would say this one is better than most, otherwise I wouldn’t be fitting it into my trading system.
This is a huge improvement, in my opinion, over an indicator I found recently, and like quite a bit by samsmilesam, which you can find here: www.tradingview.com
In this adaptation of his script I changed a bunch of things, but kept the spirit of the indicator true.
This indicator utilizes three different length Arnaud Legoux moving averages, known for being extremely low lag, and incredibly adjustable (though I find the original authors settings excellent).
While he has buy and sell signals triggering regardless of the fast and slow ma’s position to the trending ma, I actually take the trending ma into account. Furthermore, I wouldn’t say I coded in signals indicating buying and selling, but that I coded in signs that answer the question “what kind of trend are we in?” as well as possible ideal trade exits (which couuuuuld also be taken as entries, but aren’t necessarily meant to).
So, the deets on this:
1) 5 period, 20 period, and 70 period ALMAs. Fast, slow and trend. All customizable independent of each other (unlike the sam’s). All three also change color based on their own individual trends.
2) Uptrends are identified when price is closing above the Trend ma, and both Fast and Slow ma’s are above the Trend ma, and vice versa for downtrends. There are in-between points when a trend is not identified, and this is when price closes above or below the Trend ma, but the other two ma’s have not crossed it. Background color is used to identify the trend.
3) Trade exits are based on closing price and Fast and Slow ma’s relative to the Trend ma, once again. To signal exiting an uptrend price must close below both Fast and Slow ma’s and both Fast and Slow ma’s must be above the Trend ma; and vice versa for exiting a down trend. Obviously there may be false signals, but there are fewer signals, and I think it’s a better strategy than most. I prefer to filter out as much noise as possible. There’s little worse in my opinion than an indicator that gives too many false signals, but obviously it’s impossible to remove them all. Some discretion is necessary on the part of the trader.
4) So what does this mean for trade entries? Well, you can certainly enter a trade on a signal for an exit (go long on a short exit signal) if the chart looks good for that. Or you can wait for trend confirmation with the background color, entering on a pullback to the ma’s perhaps. Or you can enter in the “no man’s land” in between trends. If you’ve exited and price continues on trending your best bet would be to wait for a pullback into the ma’s or a s/r level, or look for the next candle that closes beyond the Fast and Slow ma’s. These are just thoughts of mine.
5) Lastly, there are alert conditions set for uptrends, downtrends and both long and short exits!
Enjoy the indicator! I think with some sort of bands or channels for those times when the market is rangebound or in chop, you could really crush it with this.
[blackcat] L1 Trend Follower with Whale Pump DetectionLevel: 1
Background
One of the biggest differences between cryptocurrency and traditional financial markets is that cryptocurrency is based on blockchain technology. Individual investors can discover the direction of the flow of large funds through on-chain transfers. These large funds are often referred to as Whale. Whale can have a significant impact on the price movements of cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin . Therefore, how to monitor Whale trends is of great significance both in terms of fundamentals and technical aspects.
A trend reversal occurs when the direction of a stock (or a financial trading instrument) changes and moves back in the opposite direction. Uptrends that reverse into downtrends and downtrends that reverse into uptrends are examples of trend reversals.
Function
L1 Trend Follower with Whale Pump Detection utilizes fast line and slow line to describe the trend change. To confirm the trend reversal, whale pump detector is introduced.
Key Signal
trendfollower --> trend follower fast line
trendfollower reference 2 --> trend follower slow line
var8 --> whale pump detector
Pros and Cons
Pros:
1. stable and less noise for trend reversal due to alma()
2. use whale pump detector to confirm trend reversal
Cons:
1. cross zero long and short entry signal is not so stable
2. need adjust parameters for various markets and trading pairs
Remarks
NA
Readme
In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts.
The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works.
Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element.
Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level.
Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated.
Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop.
Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.
Sto RSI and kijun-sen line to determine and follow the trend This script uses 25-75 treshold of stochastic RSI with the help of kijun-sen as confirmation, to find entry points to any trend either newly developed or an established one. I just realized it on the 1 hour SPX chart. Sure it can be used on other symbols. Crossing above/below 25/75 line of sto RSI is considered as buy/sell signal. Signals are evaluated whether price be above/below kijun-sen line. If a sell signal below kijun-sen is generated it is a continuation signal for downtrend, otherwise it is a countertrend signal (maybe a signal for a new downtrend). A countertrend signal must be evaluated carefully and only accepted in the right side of kijun-sen. e.g entering a sell signal generated above kijun-sen should be accepted only below the kijun-sen, vice-versa.
Donchian TrendHello All,
I think all of you knows Donchian Channels . so I am not going to write about it.
With this indicator I tried to create Trend Lines by using Donchian Channel upper/lower bands. I tried add possible entry levels as well.
How it works ?
- it calculates main trend direction by using the length that is user-defined. so you can change it as you wish
- then it calculates trend direction for 9 lower lengths. if you set the length = 20 then the lengths are 19, 18,...11
- and it checks if the trend directions that came from lower lengths is same or not with main trend direction.
- it changes the trendline color. lighter trend line means stonger trend, darker trend lines means entry points or possible trend reversal.
- it puts entry points by using trend directions that were created by using lower lengths. it gets entry points if high/low touches main trend line as well.
Warning: Arrows are entry points but it may also represents trend reversal. So you should use stoploss line if you decide to take buy/sell positions.
P.S. I didn't backtest it, it's non-repainting, it should be used educational purposes only . I believe it can be improved, so I am open for new ideas to improve it ;)
Enjoy!
Multi Pivot Trend [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Multi Pivot Trend is an advanced market-structure-driven trend engine that evaluates trend strength by scanning multiple pivot breakouts simultaneously.
Instead of relying on a single swing length, it tracks breakouts across ten increasing pivot lengths — then averages their behavior to produce a smooth, reliable trend reading.
Mitigation logic (close, wick, or HL2 touches) controls how breakouts are confirmed, giving traders institutional-style flexibility similar to BOS/CHoCH validation rules.
This indicator not only colors candles based on trend strength, but also extends trend strength and volatility-scaled projection candles to show where trend pressure may expand next.
Pivot breakout lines and labels mark key changes, making the trend transitions extremely clear.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Market trend strength is reflected by multiple pivot breakouts, not just one.
The indicator analyzes ten pivot structures from smaller to larger swings.
Each bullish or bearish pivot breakout contributes to trend score.
Mitigation options (close / wick / HL2) imitate smart-money breakout confirmation logic.
Trend score is averaged and translated into colors and extension bars.
Neutral regime ≈ weak trend or transition zone (trend compression).
🔵 FEATURES
Multi-Pivot Engine — tracks 10 pivot-based trend signals simultaneously.
Mitigation Modes :
• Close — breakout requires candle close beyond pivot
• Wicks — breakout requires wick violation
• HL2 — breakout confirmed when average (H+L)/2 crosses level
Dynamic Color System :
• Blue → confirmed bullish rotation
• Red → confirmed bearish rotation
• Orange → neutral / transition state
Breakout Visualization — draws pivot breakout lines in real-time.
Trend Labels — prints trend %.
Trend Volatility-Scaled Extension Candles — ATR/trend strength based candle projections show momentum continuation strength.
Gradient Pivot Encoding — higher pivot lengths = deeper structure considered.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use strong blue/red periods to follow dominant structural trend.
Watch for color transition into orange — possible trend change or consolidation.
Pivot breakout lines help validate structure shifts without clutter.
Wick mitigation catches aggressive liquidity-sweep based breaks.
Close/HL2 mitigation catches cleaner market structure rotations.
Extension bars visualize trend pressure — large extensions = strong push.
Best paired with volume or volatility confirmation tools.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Multi Pivot Trend is a structural trend recognition system that blends multiple pivot breakouts into one clean trend score — with institutional-style mitigation logic and volatility-projected trend extensions.
It gives traders a powerful, visually intuitive way to track momentum, spot trend rotations early, and understand true structural flow beyond simple MA-based approaches.
Use it to stay aligned with the dominant swing direction while avoiding noise and false flips.
Zero Lag Trend Signals (MTF) [Quant Trading] V7Overview
The Zero Lag Trend Signals (MTF) V7 is a comprehensive trend-following strategy that combines Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average (ZLEMA) with volatility-based bands to identify high-probability trade entries and exits. This strategy is designed to reduce lag inherent in traditional moving averages while incorporating dynamic risk management through ATR-based stops and multiple exit mechanisms.
This is a longer term horizon strategy that takes limited trades. It is not a high frequency trading and therefore will also have limited data and not > 100 trades.
How It Works
Core Signal Generation:
The strategy uses a Zero Lag EMA (ZLEMA) calculated by applying an EMA to price data that has been adjusted for lag:
Calculate lag period: floor((length - 1) / 2)
Apply lag correction: src + (src - src )
Calculate ZLEMA: EMA of lag-corrected price
Volatility bands are created using the highest ATR over a lookback period multiplied by a band multiplier. These bands are added to and subtracted from the ZLEMA line to create upper and lower boundaries.
Trend Detection:
The strategy maintains a trend variable that switches between bullish (1) and bearish (-1):
Long Signal: Triggers when price crosses above ZLEMA + volatility band
Short Signal: Triggers when price crosses below ZLEMA - volatility band
Optional ZLEMA Trend Confirmation:
When enabled, this filter requires ZLEMA to show directional momentum before entry:
Bullish Confirmation: ZLEMA must increase for 4 consecutive bars
Bearish Confirmation: ZLEMA must decrease for 4 consecutive bars
This additional filter helps avoid false signals in choppy or ranging markets.
Risk Management Features:
The strategy includes multiple stop-loss and take-profit mechanisms:
Volatility-Based Stops: Default stop-loss is placed at ZLEMA ± volatility band
ATR-Based Stops: Dynamic stop-loss calculated as entry price ± (ATR × multiplier)
ATR Trailing Stop: Ratcheting stop-loss that follows price but never moves against position
Risk-Reward Profit Target: Take-profit level set as a multiple of stop distance
Break-Even Stop: Moves stop to entry price after reaching specified R:R ratio
Trend-Based Exit: Closes position when price crosses EMA in opposite direction
Performance Tracking:
The strategy includes optional features for monitoring and analyzing trades:
Floating Statistics Table: Displays key metrics including win rate, GOA (Gain on Account), net P&L, and max drawdown
Trade Log Labels: Shows entry/exit prices, P&L, bars held, and exit reason for each closed trade
CSV Export Fields: Outputs trade data for external analysis

Important Usage Notes
Default Configuration: The strategy operates in its most basic form with default settings - using only ZLEMA crossovers with volatility bands and volatility-based stop-losses. All advanced features must be manually enabled.
Stop-Loss Priority: If multiple stop-loss methods are enabled simultaneously, the strategy will use whichever condition is hit first. ATR-based stops override volatility-based stops when enabled.
Long-Only by Default: Short trading is disabled by default. Enable "Allow Short Trades" to trade both directions.
Performance Monitoring: Enable the floating stats table and trade log labels to visualize strategy performance during backtesting.
Exit Mechanisms: The strategy can exit trades through multiple methods: stop-loss hit, take-profit reached, trend reversal, or trailing stop activation. The trade log identifies which exit method was used.
Re-Entry Logic: When "Re-Enter on Long Trend" is enabled with ZLEMA trend confirmation, the strategy can take multiple long positions during extended uptrends as long as all entry conditions remain valid.
Capital Efficiency: Default setting uses 100% of equity per trade. Adjust "default_qty_value" to manage position sizing based on risk tolerance.
Realistic Backtesting: Strategy includes commission (0.1%) and slippage (3 ticks) to provide realistic performance expectations. These values should be adjusted based on your broker and market conditions.
Recommended Use Cases
Trending Markets: Best suited for markets with clear directional moves where trend-following strategies excel
Medium to Long-Term Trading: The default length of 70 makes this strategy more appropriate for swing trading rather than scalping
Risk-Conscious Traders: Multiple stop-loss options allow traders to customize risk management to their comfort level
Backtesting & Optimization: Comprehensive performance tracking features make this strategy ideal for testing different parameter combinations
Limitations & Considerations
Like all trend-following strategies, performance may suffer in choppy or ranging markets
Default 100% position sizing means full capital exposure per trade - consider reducing for conservative risk management
Higher length values (70+) reduce signal frequency but may improve signal quality
Multiple simultaneous risk management features may create conflicting exit signals
Past performance shown in backtests does not guarantee future results
Customization Tips
For more aggressive trading:
Reduce length parameter (minimum 70)
Decrease band multiplier for tighter bands
Enable short trades
Use lower profit target R:R ratios
For more conservative trading:
Increase length parameter
Enable ZLEMA trend confirmation
Use wider ATR stop-loss multipliers
Enable break-even stop-loss
Reduce position size from 100% default
For optimal choppy market performance:
Enable ZLEMA trend confirmation
Increase band multiplier
Use tighter profit targets
Avoid re-entry on trend continuation
Visual Elements
The strategy plots several elements on the chart:
ZLEMA line (color-coded by trend direction)
Upper and lower volatility bands
Long entry markers (green triangles)
Short entry markers (red triangles, when enabled)
Stop-loss levels (when positions are open)
Take-profit levels (when enabled and positions are open)
Trailing stop lines (when enabled and positions are open)
Optional ZLEMA trend markers (triangles at highs/lows)
Optional trade log labels showing complete trade information
Exit Reason Codes (for CSV Export)
When CSV export is enabled, exit reasons are coded as:
0 = Manual/Other
1 = Trailing Stop-Loss
2 = Profit Target
3 = ATR Stop-Loss
4 = Trend Change
Conclusion
Zero Lag Trend Signals V7 provides a robust framework for trend-following with extensive customization options. The strategy balances simplicity in its core logic with sophisticated risk management features, making it suitable for both beginner and advanced traders. By reducing moving average lag while incorporating volatility-based signals, it aims to capture trends earlier while managing risk through multiple configurable exit mechanisms.
The modular design allows traders to start with basic trend-following and progressively add complexity through ZLEMA confirmation, multiple stop-loss methods, and advanced exit strategies. Comprehensive performance tracking and export capabilities make this strategy an excellent tool for systematic testing and optimization.
Note: This strategy is provided for educational and backtesting purposes. All trading involves risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always test thoroughly with paper trading before risking real capital, and adjust position sizing and risk parameters according to your risk tolerance and account size.

ATR Volatility and Trend AnalysisATR Volatility and Trend Analysis
Unlock the power of the Average True Range (ATR) with the ATR Volatility and Trend Analysis indicator. This comprehensive tool is designed to provide traders with a multi-faceted view of market dynamics, combining volatility analysis, dynamic support and resistance levels, and trend detection into a single, easy-to-use indicator.
How It Works
The ATR Volatility and Trend Analysis indicator is built upon the core concept of the ATR, a classic measure of market volatility. It expands on this by providing several key features:
Dynamic ATR Bands: The indicator plots three sets of upper and lower bands around the price. These bands are calculated by multiplying the current ATR value by user-defined multipliers. They act as dynamic support and resistance levels, widening during volatile periods and contracting during calm markets.
Volatility Breakout Signals: Identify potential breakouts with precision. The indicator generates a signal when the current ATR value surges above its own moving average by a specified threshold, indicating a significant increase in volatility that could lead to a strong price move.
Trend Detection: The indicator determines the market trend by analyzing both price action and ATR behavior. A bullish trend is signaled when the price is above its moving average and volatility is increasing. Conversely, a bearish trend is signaled when the price is below its moving average and volatility is increasing.
How to Use the ATR Multi-Band Indicator
Identify Support and Resistance: Use the ATR bands as key levels. Price approaching the outer bands may indicate overbought or oversold conditions, while a break of the bands can signal a strong continuation.
Confirm Breakouts: Look for a volatility breakout signal to confirm the strength behind a price move. A breakout from a consolidation range accompanied by a volatility signal is a strong indicator of a new trend.
Trade with the Trend: Use the background coloring and trend signals to align your trades with the dominant market direction. Enter long positions during confirmed bullish trends and short positions during bearish trends.
Set Up Alerts: The indicator includes alerts for band crosses, trend changes, and volatility breakouts, ensuring you never miss a potential trading opportunity.
What makes it different?
While many indicators use ATR, the ATR Volatility and Trend Analysis tool is unique in its integration of multiple ATR-based concepts into a single, cohesive system. It doesn't just show volatility; it interprets it in the context of price action to deliver actionable trend and breakout signals, making it a complete solution for ATR-based analysis.
Disclaimer
This indicator is designed as a technical analysis tool and should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis and proper risk management.
Past performance does not guarantee future results, and traders should thoroughly test any strategy before implementing it with real capital.
Market Sentiment Trend Gauge [LevelUp]Market Sentiment Trend Gauge simplifies technical analysis by mathematically combining momentum, trend direction, volatility position, and comparison against a market benchmark, into a single trend score from -100 to +100. Displayed in a separate pane below your chart, it resolves conflicting signals from RSI, moving averages, Bollinger Bands, and market correlations, providing clear insights into trend direction, strength, and relative performance.
THE PROBLEM MARKET SENTIMENT TREND GAUGE (MSTG) SOLVES
Traditional indicators often produce conflicting signals, such as RSI showing overbought while prices rise or moving averages indicating an uptrend despite market underperformance. MSTG creates a weighted composite score to answer: "What's the overall bias for this asset?"
KEY COMPONENTS AND WEIGHTINGS
The trend score combines
▪ Momentum (25%): Normalized 14-period RSI, capped at ±100.
▪ Trend Direction (35%): 10/21-period EMA relationships,
▪ Volatility Position (20%): Price position, 20-period Bollinger Bands, capped at ±100.
▪ Market Comparison (20%): Daily performance vs. SPY benchmark, capped at ±100.
Final score = Weighted sum, smoothed with 5-period EMA.
INTERPRETING THE MSTG CHART
Trend Score Ranges and Colors
▪ Bright Green (>+30): Strong bullish; ideal for long entries.
▪ Light Green (+10 to +30): Weak bullish; cautiously favorable.
▪ Gray (-10 to +10): Neutral; avoid directional trades.
▪ Light Red (-10 to -30): Weak bearish; exercise caution.
▪ Bright Red (<-30): Strong bearish; high-risk for longs, consider shorts.
Reference Lines
▪ Zero Line (Gray): Separates bullish/bearish; crossovers signal trend changes.
▪ ±30 Lines (Dotted, Green/Red): Thresholds for strong trends.
▪ ±60 Lines (Dashed, Green/Red): Extreme strength zones (not overbought/oversold); manage risk (tighten stops, partial profits) but trends may persist.
Background Colors
▪ Green Tint (>+20): Bullish environment; favorable for longs.
▪ Red Tint (<-20): Bearish environment; caution for longs.
▪ Light Gray Tint (-20 to +20): Neutral/range-bound; wait for signals.
Extreme Readings vs. Traditional Signals
MSTG ±60 indicates maximum alignment of all factors, not reversals (unlike RSI >70/<30). Use for risk management, not automatic exits. Strong trends can sustain extremes; breakdowns occur below +30 or above -30.
INFORMATION TABLE INTERPRETATION
Trend Score Symbols
▲▲ >+30 strong bullish
▲ +10 to +30
● -10 to +10 neutral
▼ -30 to -10
▼▼ <-30 strong bearish
Colors: Green (positive), White (neutral), Red (negative).
Momentum Score
+40 to +100 strong bullish
0 to +40 moderate bullish
-40 to 0 moderate bearish
-100 to -40 strong bearish
Market vs. Stock
▪ Green: Stock outperforming market
▪ Red: Stock underperforming market
Example Interpretations:
-0.45% / +1.23% (Green): Market down, stock up = Strong relative strength
+2.10% / +1.50% (Red): Both rising, but stock lagging = Relative weakness
-1.20% / -0.80% (Green): Both falling, but stock declining less = Defensive strength
UNDERSTANDING EXTREME READINGS VS TRADITIONAL OVERBOUGHT/OVERSOLD
⚠️ Critical distinctions
Traditional Overbought/Oversold Signals:
▪ Single indicator (like RSI >70 or <30) showing momentum excess
▪ Often suggests immediate reversal or pullback expected
▪ Based on "price moved too far, too fast" concept
MSTG Extreme Readings (±60):
▪ Composite alignment of 4 different factors (momentum, trend, volatility, relative strength)
▪ Indicates maximum strength in current direction
▪ NOT a reversal signal - means "all systems extremely bullish/bearish"
Key Differences:
▪ RSI >70: "Price got ahead of itself, expect pullback"
▪ MSTG >+60: "Everything is extremely bullish right now"
▪ Strong trends can maintain extreme MSTG readings during major moves
▪ Breakdowns happen when MSTG falls below +30, not at +60
Proper Usage of Extreme Readings:
▪ Risk Management: Tighten stops, take partial profits
▪ Position Sizing: Reduce new position sizes at extremes
▪ Trend Continuation: Watch for sustained extreme readings in strong markets
▪ Exit Signals: Look for breakdown below +30, not reversal from +60
TRADING WITH MSTG
Quick Assessment
1. Check trend symbol for direction.
2. Confirm momentum strength.
3. Note relative performance color.
Examples:
▲▲ 55.2 (Green), Momentum +28.4, Outperforming: Strong buy setup.
▼ -18.6 (Red), Momentum -43.2, Underperforming: Defensive positioning.
Entry Conditions
▪ Long: stock outperforming market
- Score >+30 (bright green)
- Sustained green background
- ▲▲ symbol,
▪ Short: stock underperforming market
- Score <-30 (bright red)
- Sustained red background
- ▼▼ symbol
Avoid Trading When:
▪ Gray zone (-10 to +10).
▪ Rapid color changes or frequent zero-line crosses (choppy market).
▪ Gray background (range-bound).
Risk Management:
▪ Stop Loss: Exit on zero-line crossover against position.
▪ Take Profit: Partial at ±60 for risk control.
▪ Position Sizing: Larger when signals align; smaller in extremes or mixed conditions.
KEY ADVANTAGES
▪ Unified View: Weighted composite reduces noise and conflicts.
▪ Visual Clarity: 5-color system with gradients for rapid recognition.
▪ Market Context: Relative strength vs. SPY identifies leaders/laggards.
▪ Flexibility: Works across timeframes (1-min to weekly); customizable table.
▪ Noise Reduction: EMA smoothing minimizes false signals.
EXAMPLES
Strong Bull: Trend Score 71.9, Momentum Score 76.9
Neutral: Trend Score 0.1, Momentum Score -9.2
Strong Bear: Trend Score -51.7, Momentum Score -51.5
PERFORMANCE AND LIMITATIONS
Strengths: Trend identification, noise reduction, relative performance versus market.
Limitations: Lags at turning points, less effective in extreme volatility or non-trending markets.
Recommendations: View on multiple timeframes, combine with price action and fundamentals.
Pivot Trend Flow [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Pivot Trend Flow turns raw swing points into a clean, adaptive trend band. It averages recent pivot highs and lows to form two dynamic reference levels; when price crosses above the averaged highs, trend flips bullish and a green band is drawn; when it crosses below the averaged lows, trend flips bearish and a red band is drawn. During an uptrend the script highlights breakouts of previous pivot highs with ▲ labels, and during a downtrend it flags breakdowns of previous pivot lows with ▼ labels—making structure shifts and continuation signals obvious.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Pivot-Based Averages : Recent pivot highs/lows are collected and averaged to create smoothed upper/lower reference levels.
if not na(ph)
phArray.push(ph)
if not na(pl)
plArray.push(pl)
if phArray.size() > avgWindow
upper := phArray.avg()
phArray.shift()
if plArray.size() > avgWindow
lower := plArray.avg()
plArray.shift()
Trend State via Crosses : Close above the averaged-highs ⇒ bullish trend; close below the averaged-lows ⇒ bearish trend.
Trend Band : A colored band (green/red) is plotted and optionally filled to visualize the active regime around price.
Structure Triggers :
In bull mode the tool watches for prior pivot-high breakouts (▲).
In bear mode it watches for prior pivot-low breakdowns (▼).
🔵 FEATURES
Adaptive Trend Detection from averaged pivot highs/lows.
Clear Visuals : Green band in uptrends, red band in downtrends; optional fill for quick read.
Breakout/Breakdown Labels :
▲ marks breaks of previous pivot highs in uptrends
▼ marks breaks of previous pivot lows in downtrends
Minimal Clutter : Uses compact lines and labels that extend only on confirmation.
Customizable Colors & Fill for trend states and band styling.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Pivot Length : Sets how swing points are detected. Smaller = more reactive; larger = smoother.
Avg Window (pivots) : How many recent pivot highs/lows are averaged. Increase to stabilize the band; decrease for agility.
Read the Band :
Green band active ⇒ prioritize longs, pullback buys toward the band.
Red band active ⇒ prioritize shorts, pullback sells toward the band.
Trade the Triggers :
In bull mode, ▲ on a prior pivot-high break can confirm continuation.
In bear mode, ▼ on a prior pivot-low break can confirm continuation.
Combine with Context : Use HTF trend, S/R, or volume for confluence and to filter signals.
Fill Color Toggle : Enable/disable band fill to match your chart style.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Pivot Trend Flow converts swing structure into an actionable, low-lag trend framework. By blending averaged pivots with clean breakout/breakdown labels, it clarifies trend direction, timing, and continuation spots—ideal as a core bias tool or a confirmation layer in any trading system.
Specter Trend Cloud [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
Specter Trend Cloud is a flexible moving-average–based trend tool that builds a colored “cloud” around market direction and highlights key retest opportunities. Using two adaptive MAs (short vs. long), offset by ATR for volatility adjustment, it shades the background with a gradient cloud that switches color on trend flips. When price pulls back to retest the short MA during an active trend, the script plots diamond markers and extends dotted levels from that retest price. If price later breaks through that level, the extension is terminated—giving traders a clean visual of valid vs. invalid retests.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Multi-MA Core Engine:
Choose from SMA, EMA, SMMA (RMA), WMA, or VWMA as the base. The indicator tracks both a short-term MA (Length) and a longer twin (2 × Length).
Volatility-Adjusted Offset:
Both MAs are shifted by ATR(200) depending on trend direction—pulling them down in uptrends, up in downtrends—so the cloud reflects realistic breathing room instead of razor-thin bands.
Gradient Trend Cloud:
Between the two shifted MAs, the script fills a shaded region:
• Aqua cloud = bullish trend
• Orange cloud = bearish trend
Gradient intensity increases toward the active edge, providing a visual sense of strength.
Trend Flip Logic:
A flip occurs whenever the short MA crosses above or below the long MA. The cloud instantly changes color and begins tracking the new regime.
Retest Detection:
During an ongoing trend (no flip), if price retests the short MA within a 5-bar “cooldown,” the tool:
• Marks the retest with diamond shapes below/above the bar.
• Draws a dotted horizontal line from the retest price, extending into the future.
Automatic Level Termination:
If price later closes through that dotted level, the line disappears—keeping only active, respected retest levels on your chart.
⯁ HOW IT WORKS (UNDER THE HOOD)
MA Calculations:
ma1 = MA(src, Length), ma2 = MA(src, 2 × Length).
Trend = ma1 > ma2 (bull) or ma1 < ma2 (bear).
ATR shift offsets both ma1 and ma2 by ±ATR depending on trend.
Cloud Fill:
Plots ma1 and ma2 (invisible for long MA). Uses fill() with semi-transparent aqua/orange gradient between the two.
Retest Logic:
• Bullish retest: ta.crossover(low, ma1) while trend = bull.
• Bearish retest: ta.crossunder(high, ma1) while trend = bear.
Only valid if at least 5 bars have passed since last retest.
When triggered, it stores bar index and price, draws diamonds, and extends a dotted line.
Level Clearing:
If current high > retest upper line (bearish case) or low < retest lower line (bullish case), that line is deleted (stops extending).
⯁ USAGE
Use the cloud color as the higher-level trend bias (aqua = long, orange = short).
Look for diamonds + dotted lines as pullback/retest zones where trend continuation may launch.
If a retest level holds and price rebounds, it strengthens confidence in the trend.
If a retest level is broken, treat it as a warning of weakening trend or possible reversal.
Experiment with MA Type (SMA vs. EMA, etc.) to align sensitivity with your asset or timeframe.
Adjust Length for faster flips on low timeframes or smoother signals on higher ones.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Specter Trend Cloud combines trend detection, volatility-adjusted shading, and retest visualization into a single tool. The gradient cloud provides instant clarity on direction, while diamonds and dotted retest levels give you tactical entry/retest zones that self-clean when invalidated. It’s a versatile trend-following and confirmation layer, adaptable across multiple assets and styles.
Phantom Trend IndicatorOverview
The Phantom Trend Indicator (PTI) is a streamlined tool for identifying trend direction and strength. It blends zigzag-based trend detection with a volume profile to display a histogram showing price distance from the Point of Control (POC). Six distinct colors highlight trend states, with background highlights for extreme price zones. Ideal for stocks, forex, crypto, and futures across any timeframe.
Features:
Trend Detection: Uses zigzag fractals to identify uptrends and downtrends.
Histogram Colors: Six colors for trend strength (low, high, extreme for up/down trends) or neutral (gray).
Dynamic Levels: Plots POC, Value Area Low (VAL), and High (VAH) via volume profile.
Background Colors: Highlights overbought (above VAH) or oversold (below VAL) zones.
Alerts: Signals new trends.
How It Works:
Trends: Zigzag fractals define trend ranges, with price position setting histogram colors (low, high, or extreme).
Histogram: Shows price deviation from POC.
Background: Colors extreme zones outside VAL/VAH.
This indicator builds on traditional trend detectors and volume profiles by integrating them into a single, cohesive tool. Unlike standard momentum indicators that rely on moving averages, PTI uses zigzag fractals for more responsive trend identification, reducing lag in volatile markets. Compared to basic volume profile scripts, it adds trend-based color coding and background alerts for extremes, providing clearer visual cues for overbought/oversold conditions. The six distinct colors indicate trend strength, and customizable thresholds allow fine-tuning for different assets and timeframes, enhancing adaptability. Traders benefit from combined momentum and liquidity insights, helping spot reversals or continuations more reliably—making PTI a valuable, standalone addition for both novice and experienced users.
Settings
Trend Detector: Toggle alerts, adjust zigzag sensitivity, and set thresholds for low-to-high and extreme color transitions.
Dynamic Levels: Configure volume profile period, multiplier, accuracy, value area percent, and ATR-based channel width.
Visuals: Customize POC, VAL, VAH, and area fill colors.
Read Histogram: Uptrend colors show early, strong, or overextended moves; downtrend colors indicate early, weakening, or oversold conditions; gray for consolidation.
Background: Monitor for overbought/oversold color-coded signals.
Tune: Adjust zigzag or period settings for your timeframe/asset.
Tips
Shorten period for intraday, extend for swing trading.
Pair with other indicators for confirmation.

VWAP Trend Strategy (Intraday) [KedarArc Quant]Description:
An intraday strategy that anchors to VWAP and only trades when a local EMA trend gate and a volume participation gate are both open. It offers two entry templates—Cross and Cross-and-Retest—with an optional Momentum Exception for impulsive moves. Exits combine a TrendBreak (structure flips) with an ATR emergency stop (risk cap).
Updates will be published under this script.
Why this merits a new script
This is not a simple “VWAP + EMA + ATR” overlay. The components are sequenced as gates and branches that *change the trade set* in ways a visual mashup cannot:
1. Trend Gate first (EMA fast vs. slow on the entry timeframe)
Counter-trend VWAP crosses are suppressed. Many VWAP scripts fire on every cross; here, no entry logic even evaluates unless the trend gate is open.
2. Participation Gate second (Volume SMA × multiplier)
This gate filters thin liquidity moves around VWAP. Without it, the same visuals would produce materially more false triggers.
3. Branching entries with structure awareness
* Cross: Immediate VWAP cross in the trend direction.
* Cross-and-Retest: Requires a revisit to VWAP vicinity within a lookback window (recent low near VWAP for longs; recent high for shorts). This explicitly removes first-touch fakeouts that a plain cross takes.
* Momentum Exception (optional): A quantified body% + volume condition can bypass the retest when flow is impulsive—intentional risk-timing, not “just another indicator.”
4. Dual exits that reference both anchor and structure
* TrendBreak: Close only when price loses VWAP and EMA alignment flips.
* ATR stop: Placed at entry to cap tail risk.
These exits complement the entry structure rather than being generic stop/target add-ons.
What it does
* Trades the session’s fair value anchor (VWAP), but only with local-trend agreement (EMA fast vs. slow) and sufficient participation (volume filter).
* Lets you pick Cross or Cross-and-Retest entries; optionally allow a fast Momentum Exception when candles expand with volume.
* Manages positions with a structure exit (TrendBreak) and an emergency ATR stop from entry.
How it works (concepts & calculations)
* VWAP (session anchor):
Standard VWAP of the active session; entries reference the cross and the retest proximity to VWAP.
* Trend gate:
Long context only if `EMA(fast) > EMA(slow)`; short only if `EMA(fast) < EMA(slow)`.
A *gate*, not a trigger—entries aren’t considered unless this is true.
* Participation (volume) gate:
Require `volume > SMA(volume, volLen) × volMult`.
Screens out low-participation wiggles around VWAP.
Entries:
* Cross: Price crosses VWAP in the trend direction while volume gate is open.
* Cross-and-Retest: After crossing, price revisits VWAP vicinity within `lookback` (recent *low near VWAP* for longs; recent *high near VWAP* for shorts).
* Momentum Exception (optional): If body% (|close−open| / range) and volume exceed thresholds, enter without waiting for the retest.
Exits:
* TrendBreak (structure):
* Longs close when `price < VWAP` and `EMA(fast) < EMA(slow)` (mirror for shorts).
* ATR stop (risk):
* From entry: `stop = entry ± ATR(atrLen) × atrMult`.
How to use it ?
1. Select market & timeframe: Intraday on liquid symbols (equities, futures, crypto).
2. Pick entry mode:
* Start with Cross-and-Retest for fewer, more selective signals.
* Enable Momentum Exception if strong moves leave without retesting.
3. Tune guards:
* Raise `volMult` to ignore thin periods; lower it for more activity.
* Adjust `lookback` if retests come late/early on your symbol.
4. Risk:
* `atrLen` and `atrMult` set the emergency stop distance.
5. Read results per session: Optional panel (if enabled) summarizes Net-R, Win%, and PF for today’s session to evaluate
behavior regime by regime.

This indicator is ideal for those who want to automate trendline analysis, spot key breakout and reversal areas, and streamline technical trading.
Gott's Copernican Trend PredictorThe Gott's Copernican Trend Predictor predicts trend duration using the Copernican Principle - Based on astrophysicist Richard Gott's temporal prediction method.
I had the idea to create this indicator after reading the book The Doomsday Calculation by William Poundstone.
Background & Theory
This indicator implements J. Richard Gott III's Copernican Principle - a statistical method that famously predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall and the duration of Broadway shows with remarkable accuracy.
The Copernican Principle Explained
Named after Copernicus who showed that Earth is not at the center of the universe, this principle assumes that you are not observing something at a special moment in time. When you observe a trend at any random point, you're statistically more likely to be seeing it during the "middle portion" of its lifetime rather than at its very beginning or end.
The Mathematics
Gott's formula provides a 95% confidence interval for how much longer a trend will continue:
Minimum remaining duration = Current Age ÷ 39
Maximum remaining duration = Current Age × 39
The factor of 39 comes from statistical analysis where:
There's only a 2.5% chance you're observing in the first 1/40th of the trend's life
There's only a 2.5% chance you're observing in the last 1/40th of the trend's life
This gives us 95% confidence that the trend will last between Age/39 and Age×39
How It Works
Trend Detection
The indicator uses dual moving averages (default: 50 & 200 period) to identify trend changes:
Bullish Cross: Fast MA crosses above Slow MA → Uptrend begins
Bearish Cross: Fast MA crosses below Slow MA → Downtrend begins
Real-Time Predictions
Once a trend is detected, the indicator continuously calculates:
Trend Age: How long the current trend has been active
Gott's 95% CI: Statistical range for remaining trend duration
Projected End Dates: Calendar dates when the trend might end
How to Use
Setup
Add the indicator to any timeframe (works on minutes, hours, days, weeks)
Customize MA periods and type (SMA, EMA, WMA)
Choose table position and font size for optimal viewing
Interpretation
Example: If a trend is 100 hours old:
Minimum duration: 100 ÷ 39 = ~3 more hours
Maximum duration: 100 × 39 = ~3,900 more hours
95% confidence: The trend will end between these times
This indicator might be useful for swing traders, trend followers, and quantitative analysts.
Coca-Cola example:
Coca-Cola's chart shows an uptrend spanning 810 weeks, approximately 15.5 years. According to Gott's Copernican Principle, this trend age generates a 95% confidence interval predicting the trend will continue for a minimum of 20 weeks and a maximum of 31,590 weeks.
On the other hand, a shorter trend age produces a proportionally smaller minimum duration and different risk profile in terms of statistical continuation probability. For this reason, more recent trends (and more recent companies) are likely to remain in trend for shorter.
Apex Edge - RSI Trend LinesThe Apex Edge - RSI Trend Lines indicator is a precision tool that automatically draws real-time trendlines on the RSI oscillator using confirmed pivot highs and lows. These dynamic trendlines track RSI structure in motion, helping you anticipate breakout zones, reversals, and hidden divergences.
Every time a new pivot forms, the indicator automatically re-draws the RSI trendline between the two most recent pivots — giving you an always-current view of momentum structure. You’ll instantly see when RSI begins compressing or expanding, long before price reacts.
Key Features: • Dynamic RSI trendlines drawn from the last 2 pivots
• Auto re-draws in real-time as new pivots form
• Optional "Full Extend" or "Pivot Only" modes
• Slope color-coded: green = support, red = resistance
• Built-in dotted RSI levels (30/70 default)
• Alert conditions for RSI trendline breakout signals
• Ideal for spotting divergence, compression, and early SMC confluence
This is not your average RSI — it’s a fully reactive momentum edge overlay designed to give you clarity, structure, and timing from within the oscillator itself. Perfect for traders using Smart Money Concepts, divergence setups, or algorithmic trend tracking.
⚔️ Built for precision. Built for edge. Built for Apex.
Golden Ratio Trend Persistence [EWT]Golden Ratio Trend Persistence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overview
The Golden Ratio Trend Persistence is a dynamic tool designed to identify the strength and persistence of market trends. It operates on a simple yet powerful premise: a trend is likely to continue as long as it doesn't retrace beyond the key Fibonacci golden ratio of 61.8%.
This indicator automatically identifies the most significant swing high or low and plots a single, dynamic line representing the 61.8% retracement level of the current move. This line acts as a "line in the sand" for the prevailing trend. The background color also changes to provide an immediate visual cue of the current market direction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Power of the Golden Ratio (61.8%)
The golden ratio (ϕ≈1.618) and its inverse (0.618, or 61.8%) are fundamental mathematical constants that appear throughout nature, art, and science, often representing harmony and structure. In financial markets, this ratio is a cornerstone of Fibonacci analysis and is considered one of the most critical levels for price retracements.
Market movements are not linear; they progress in waves of impulse and correction. The 61.8% level often acts as the ultimate point of support or resistance. A trend that can hold this level demonstrates underlying strength and is likely to persist. A breach of this level, however, suggests a fundamental shift in market sentiment and a potential reversal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How to Use This Indicator
This indicator is designed for clarity and ease of use.
Identifying the Trend : The visual cues make the current trend instantly recognizable.
A teal line with a teal background signifies a bullish trend. The line acts as dynamic support.
A maroon line with a maroon background signifies a bearish trend. The line acts as dynamic resistance.
Confirming Trend Persistence : As long as the price respects the plotted level, the trend is considered intact.
In an uptrend, prices should remain above the teal line. The indicator will automatically adjust its anchor to new, higher lows, causing the support line to trail the price.
In a downtrend, prices should remain below the maroon line.
Spotting Trend Reversals : The primary signal is a trend reversal, which occurs when the price closes decisively beyond the plotted level.
Potential Sell Signal : When the price closes below the teal support line, it indicates that buying pressure has failed, and the uptrend is likely over.
Potential Buy Signal : When the price closes above the maroon resistance line, it indicates that selling pressure has subsided, and a new uptrend may be starting.
Think of this tool as an intelligent, adaptive trailing stop that is based on market structure and the time-tested principles of Fibonacci analysis.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Input Parameters
You can customize the indicator's sensitivity through the following inputs in the settings menu:
Pivot Lookback Left : This number defines how many bars to the left of a candle must be lower (for a pivot high) or higher (for a pivot low) to identify a potential swing point. A higher value will result in fewer, but more significant, pivots being detected.
Pivot Lookback Right : This defines the number of bars that must close to the right before a swing point is confirmed. This parameter prevents the indicator from repainting. A higher value increases confirmation strength but also adds a slight lag.
Fibonacci Ratio : While the default is the golden ratio (0.618), you can adjust this to other key Fibonacci levels, such as 0.5 (50%) or 0.382 (38.2%), to test for different levels of trend persistence.
Adjusting these parameters allows you to fine-tune the indicator for different assets, timeframes, and trading styles, from short-term scalping to long-term trend following.

Determine Trend:
Price above upper band → Bullish trend (trend line = lower band)
Price below lower band → Bearish trend (trend line = upper band)
Price between bands → Continue previous trend

Deviation Trend Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
A statistical trend analysis tool that combines moving average dynamics with standard deviation zones and trend-specific price distribution.
This is an experimental indicator designed for educational and learning purposes only.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Trend Detection via SMA Slope: Detects trend shifts when the slope of the SMA exceeds a ±0.1 threshold.
Standard Deviation Zones: Calculates ±1, ±2, and ±3 levels from the SMA using ATR, forming dynamic envelopes around the mean.
Trend Distribution Profile: Builds a histogram that shows how often price closed within each deviation zone during the active trend phase.
🔵 FEATURES
Trend Signals: Immediate shift markers using colored circles at trend reversals.
SMA Gradient Coloring: The SMA line dynamically changes color based on its directional slope.
Trend Duration Label: A label above the histogram shows how many bars the current trend has lasted.
Trend Distribution Histogram: Visual bin-based profile showing frequency of price closes within deviation bands during trend lookback period.
Adjustable Bin Count: Set the granularity of the distribution using the “Bins Amount” input.
Deviation Labels and Zones: Clearly marked ±1, ±2, ±3 lines with consistent color scheme.
Trend Strength Insight:
• Wide profile skewed to ±2/3 = strong directional trend.
• Profile clustered near SMA = potential trend exhaustion or range.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use trend shift dots as entry signals:
• 🔵 = Bullish start
• 🔴 = Bearish start
Trade with the trend when price clusters in outer zones (±2 or ±3).
Be cautious or fade the trend when price distribution contracts toward the SMA.
View across multiple timeframes for trend confluence or divergence.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Deviation Trend Profile visualizes how price distributes during trends relative to statistical deviation zones.
It’s a powerful confluence tool for identifying strength, exhaustion, and the rhythm of price behavior—ideal for swing traders and volatility analysts alike.
SMEMA Trend CoreSMEMA Trend Core is a multi-timeframe trend analysis tool designed to provide a clean, adaptive and structured view of the market’s directional bias. It can be used in short term, swing or long term contexts. The internal calculation adjusts automatically based on the selected trading style, while always combining data from six timeframes.
At its core, the indicator uses a SMEMA, which is a Simple Moving Average applied to an EMA. This combination improves smoothness without losing reactivity. The SMEMA is calculated separately on 1H, 4H, 1D, 3D, 1W and 1M timeframes. These six values are then combined using dynamic weights that depend on the trading mode:
Short Term mode gives more influence to 1H and 4H
Swing Trading mode gives more influence to 1D, 3D and 1W
Long Term mode gives more influence to 1W and 1M
However, all six timeframes are always included in the final result. This avoids the tunnel vision of relying on a single resolution and ensures that the indicator captures both local and structural movements.
The result is a synthetic trend line, called Global SMEMA, that adapts to market conditions and offers a realistic view of the ongoing trend. To enhance the reading, the indicator calculates a Trend Score. This score reflects the position of price relative to the Global SMEMA, scaled by a long-term ATR, and adjusted by the slope of the trend line. A hyperbolic tangent function is used to normalize values and reduce distortion from outliers.
The final score is capped between -10 and +10, and used to define the trend state:
Green when the trend is bullish (score > +1.5)
Red when the trend is bearish (score < -1.5)
Brown when the trend is neutral (score between -1.5 and +1.5)
Optional Deviation Bands can be displayed at ±1, ±2 and ±3 ATR distances around the central line. These dynamic zones help identify extended price movements or potential support and resistance areas, depending on the current trend bias.
Main features:
A single, stable trend line based on six timeframes
Automatic rebalancing depending on trading mode
Quantified score integrating distance and slope
No overreaction to short-term noise
Deviation zones for advanced market context
No repainting, no lookahead, 100% real-time
SMEMA Trend Core is not a signal tool. It is a directional framework that helps you stay aligned with the real structure of the market. Use it to confirm setups, filter trades or simply understand where the market stands in its trend cycle.
