ATR with MAOVERVIEW
The Average True Range Moving Average (ATRMA) is a technical indicator that gauges the amount of volatility currently present in the market, relative to the historical average volatility that was present before. It adds a moving average to the Average True Range (ATR) indicator.
This indicator is extremely similar to the VOXI indicator, but instead of measuring volume, it measures volatility. Volume measures the amount of shares/lots/units/contracts exchanged per unit of time. Volatility, on the other hand, measures the range of price movement per unit of time.
The purpose of this indicator is to help traders filter between non-volatile periods in the market from volatile periods in the market without introducing subjectivity. It can also help long-term investors to determine market regime using volatility without introducing subjectivity.
CONCEPTS
This indicator assumes that trends are more likely to start during periods of high volatility, and consolidation is more likely to persist during periods of low volatility. The indicator also assumes that the average true range (ATR) of the last 14 candles is reflective of the current volatility in the market. ATR is the average height of all the candles, where height = |high - low|.
Suppose the ATR of the last 14 candles is greater than a moving average of the ATR(14) of the last 20 candles (this occurs whenever the indicator's filled region is colored BLUE). In that case, we can assume that the current volatility in the market is high.
Suppose the ATR of the last 14 candles is less than the moving average of the ATR(14) of the last 20 candles (this occurs whenever the indicator's filled region is colored RED). In that case, we can assume that the current volatility in the market is low.
HOW DO I READ THIS INDICATOR?
If the ATR line is above the ATR MA line (indicated by the blue color), the current volatility is greater than the historical average volatility.
If the ATR line is above the ATR MA line (indicated by the red color), the current volatility is less than the historical average volatility.
Infiten's Regressive Trend Channel An experiment using Pinescript's candle plotting feature. This indicator performs a linear regression on the lows, highs, and moving average, and plots them all in the form of a candlestick. If the close is below the prediction, the candlestick is red, if the close is above the regression, the candlestick is green. Effective and aesthetic way to analyze trends.
Cryptogrithm's Secret Momentum and Volatility IndicatorThis indicator is hard-coded for Bitcoin, but you may try it on other asset classes/coins. I have not updated this indicator in over 3 years, but it seems to still work very well for Bitcoin.
This indicator is NOT for beginners and is directed towards intermediate/advanced traders with a sensibility to agree/disagree with what this indicator is signalling (common sense).
This indicator was developed back in 2018 and I has not been maintained since, which is the reason why I am releasing it. (It still works great though! At the time of this writing of May 2022).
How to use:
Terms:
PA (Price Action): Literally the candlestick formations on your chart (and the trend formation). If you don't know how to read and understand price action, I will make a fast-track video/guide on this later (but in the meanwhile, you need to begin by learning Order-Flow Analysis, please google it first before asking).
CG Level (Cryptogrithm Level/Yellow Line): PA level above = bullish, PA level below = bearish
CG Bands (Cryptogrithm Bands): This is similar to how bollingers work, you can use this the same was as bollinger bands. The only difference is that the CG bands are more strict with the upper and lower levels as it uses different calculations to hug the price tighter allowing it to be more reactive to drastic price changes (earlier signals for oversold/overbought).
CG Upper Band (Red Upper Line): Above this upper bound line means overbought.
CG Middle Band (Light Blue Line): If PA trades above this line, the current PA trend is bullish continuing in the uptrend. If PA trades below this line, the current PA trend is bearish continuing in the downtrend. This band should only be used for short-term trends.
CG Lower Band (Green Lower Line): Below this lower bound line means oversold.
What the CG Level (yellow line) tells you:
PA is trading above CG Level = Bullish
PA is trading below CG Level = Bearish
Distance between CG Level and price = Momentum
What this means is that the further away the price is from the CG Level, the greater the momentum of the current PA trend. An increasing gap between the CG Level and PA indicates the price's strength (momentum) towards the current upward/downward trend. Basically when the PA and CG Level diverge, it means that the momentum is increasing in the current trend and when they converge, the current trend is losing momentum and the direction of the PA trend may flip towards the other direction (momentum flip).
PA+CG Level Momentum:
To use the CG Level as a momentum indicator, you need to pay attention to how the price and the CG level are moving away/closer from each other:
PA + CG Level Diverges = Momentum Increasing
PA + CG Level Converges = Momentum Decreasing
Examples (kind of common sense, but just for clarity):
Case 1: Bullish Divergence (Bullish): The PA is ABOVE and trending AWAY above from the CG Level = very bullish, this means that momentum is increasing towards the upside and larger moves will come (increasing gap between the price and CG Level)
Case 2: Bearish Convergence (Bearish): - The PA is ABOVE the CG Level and trending TOWARDS the CG Level = bearish, there is a possibility that the upward trend is ending. Look to start closing off long positions until case 1 (divergence) occurs again.
Case 3: Neutral - The PA is trading on the CG Level (no clear divergence or convergence between the PA and CG Level) = Indicates a back and forth (tug of war) between bears and bulls. Beware of choppy price patterns as the trend is undecisive until either supply/liquidity is dried out and a winner between bull/bear is chosen. This is a no trade zone, but do as you wish.
Case 4: Bearish Divergence (Bearish): The PA is BELOW and trending AWAY BELOW from the CG Level = very bearish, this means that momentum is increasing towards the downside and larger downward moves will come (increasing gap between the price and CG Level).
Case 5: Bullish Convergence (Bullish): - The PA is BELOW the CG Level and trending TOWARDS the CG Level = bullish, there is a possibility that the downward trend is ending and a trend flip is occuring. Look to start closing off short positions until case 4 (divergence) occurs again.
CG Bands + CG Level: You can use the CG bands instead of the PA candles to get a cleaner interpretation of reading the momentum. I won't go into detail as this is pretty self-explanatory. It is the same explanation as PA+CG Level Momentum, but you are replacing the PA candles with the CG Bands for interpretation. So instead of the PA converging/diverging from the CG Level, the Upper and Lower Bound levels are converging/diverging from the CG level instead.
Convergence: CG Level (yellow line) trades inside the CG bands
Divergence: CG Level (yellow line) trades outside the CG bands
Bullish/Bearish depends on whether the CG Band is trading below or above the CG level. If CG Band is above the CG Level, this is bullish. If CG Band is below the CG level, this is bearish.
Crosses (PA or CG Band crosses with CG level): This typically indicates volatility is incoming.
There are MANY MANY MANY other ways to use this indicator that is not explained here and even other undiscovered methods. Use some common sense as to how this indicator works (it is a momentum indicator and volatility predictor). You can get pretty creative and apply your own methods / knowledge to it and look for patterns that occur. Feel free to comment and share what you came up with!
ScalpiusTrendCrypto trader and trading system developer Scott Phillips recently introduced a crypto trading system that specifies a set of rules for determining whether the crypto is in a trend. While the rules are not overly complex, they are complex enough that manual trend determination is somewhat laborious and prone to error. The ScalpiusTrend script is designed to automate this process. It operates is briefly summarized as follows:
1. It looks for a bar that breaks the Bollinger Band. That starts a pending trend.
2. When we find another bar with a higher high and higher close (uptrend) or lower low and lower close (downtrend), then the trend is confirmed.
3. The trend ends when the price touches the opposite Bollinger Band, or goes 20 bars without making a new low and new close.
The indicator is shown as a histogram plot below the main chart window. By default, the short black pending trend bars are off, but you can enable the Pending Bars checkbox in the indicator Settings menu to turn them on.
Market Bias (CEREBR)Hello Everyone. I hope you are all doing great. It's been a long time since I posted my first script here, and I got a lot of response from that.
So, I thought I should share this script also to everyone, and anyone that may find it useful. Personally, I use it to tell the general market conditions.
Here's how I works : The script tries to determine the overall direction of the market, using smoothed Heiken Ashi candles. The coloring system (using bright and dark colors) is an attempt to detect strong market and weak market conditions. There's also an oscillator within the script, but for now it isn't plotted. Credits to @jackvmk, I used part of his open-script code in this indicator.\
I have considered using the slope of the indicator plot as a filter for ranging market conditions. The plot goes relatively flat in 'flat' markets. However, I have not done anything about that yet. Maybe some other time.
I hope you find this useful. If you find a way to use this, please share it with the community in the comment section.
NOTE: THIS IS BY NO MEANS FINANCIAL ADVICE. You'll have to make your studies and come up with a way to apply this indicator to your trading style and strategy.
By the way, I would be going with the name 'CEREBR' for any subsequent scripts I release from now on.
Happy Trading, guys.

Multiple Indicator 50EMA Cross AlertsHere’s a screener including Symbol, Price, TSI, and 50 ema cross in a table output.
The 50 Exponential Moving Average is a trend indicator
You can find bullish momentum when the 50 ema crossed over or a bearish momentum when the 50 ema crossed under we are looking to take advantage by trading the reversion of these trends.
True strength index (TSI) is a trend momentum indicator
Readings are bullish when the True Strength Index shows positive values
Readings are bearish when the indicator displays negative values.
When a value is above 20, we look for selling overbought opportunity and when the value is under 20, we look for buying oversold opportunity.
You can select the pair of your choice in the settings.
Make sure to create an alert and choose any alerts then an alert will trigger when a price cross under or cross over the 50 ema for every pair separately.
This allow the user to verify if there is a trade set up or not.

Daily Scalping Moving AveragesThis is a technical analysis study based on the most fit leading indicators for short timeframes like EMA and SMA.
At the same time we have daily channel made from the last 2 weeks of ATR values, which will give us the daily top and bottom expected values(with 80%+ confidence)
We have 3 groups of lengths for short length, medium length and a bigger length.
At the same time we combine it with the daily vwap values .
In the end we are going to have a total of 7 indicators telling us the direction.
The way we can use it :
The max ratings that we can have are +7 for long and -7 for short
In general once we have at least 5 indicators(fast and medium ones) giving us a direction, there is a high chance that we can scalp that trend and then we can exit either when we will be at +7 or close to neutral point
At the same time is very important to be aware of the current position inside of the TOP/BOTTOM channel that we have.
For example lets assume we are at 40k on BTC and our top channel is around 41-42k while the bottom is around 38k. In this case the margin that we have for long is much smaller than for short, so we should be prepared to exit once we reach the top values and from there wait and see if there is a huge continuation or a reversal. If the top channel was hit and the market started the rebounce going downwards and the moving averages confirms it, then we have a huge advantage using the top points as a STOP LOSS and continue the short movements, giving us an amazing risk/reward ratio .
If you have any questions let me know !
Volume OximeterOVERVIEW
The Volume Oximeter (VOXI) is a technical indicator that gauges the amount of volume currently present in the market, relative to the historical volume that was present before. The purpose of this indicator is to filter out with-trend signals during ranging/non-trending conditions.
CONCEPTS
This indicator assumes that trends are more likely to start during periods of high volume, compared to during periods of low volume. This is because high volume indicates that there are bigger players currently in the market, which is necessary to begin a sustained trending move.
So, to determine whether the current volume is "high", it is compared to an average volume for however number of candles back the user specifies.
If the current volume is greater than the average volume, it is reasonable to assume we are in a high volume period. Thus, this is the ideal time to enter a trending trade due to the assumption that trends are more likely to start during these high volume periods.
The default values in the indicator are designed for use on the daily chart but can be applied to any timeframe.
The default volume lookback period is 259 since there are usually 259 daily candles in a year on Forex daily charts. This means that the average volume will represent the average volume over the past year. This would be 365 on Crypto daily charts, since the Crypto is open 24/7 instead of 24/5). This is what the current volume will be compared to.
The default smoothing lookback period is 10, but this can be adjusted depending on the indicator that's giving you your with-trend signals. After my backtesting, 10 was the best value for my with-trend indicator, so you should do your own testing to see which value works best with your with-trend indicator.
HOW DO I READ THIS INDICATOR?
If the VOXI line is above or equal to zero (indicated by the blue color), the current volume is greater than the historical average volume.
This is a good time to take with-trend signals since high volume is necessary for sustained trending moves to begin.
If the VOXI line is below zero (indicated by the red color), the current volume is less than the historical average volume.
This is a good time to ignore with-trend signals since an absence of volume indicates that there aren't big market participants to participate in a new trending move.
Viral Force IndexBased on the Elder Force Index (EFI) indicator, the Viral Force Index (VFI) attempts to normalize the original indicator by plotting EFI on the interval ]-100, 100 [.
VFI comes with a bar coloring feature, allowing users to get an idea of the current value of the indicator without having to look away from the chart.
Additionally, the linear regression line provides a simple way to filter out the noise with little to no additional 'lag'.
License tl;dr: Don't sell it, or distribute it without permission, and you'll be fine.

Heikin-Ashi Trend AlertThis script:
Adds a Heikin-Ashi line to the chart (EMA-based).
Provides alerts triggered when the color goes from green to red and vice versa.
Just add the indicator to the chart, create an alert and select " Heikin-Ashi Trend Alert " from the dropdown. Profit.
Fractal Dimension Index The Fractal Dimension Index is a technical indicator that gauges the amount of volatility currently present in the market.
The theory behind this indicator is that a value of 1.5 suggests the market is acting in a completely random fashion. As the market deviates from 1.5, the opportunity for earning profits is increased in proportion to the amount of deviation.
Keep in mind that the indicator does not show the direction of trends ! Although you can try to test it as a trend-following indicator that gives trend-following signals, that isn't the intended use of the indicator.
The Fractal Dimension Index is red when the market is in a trend. And it is blue when there is high volatility. When the Fractal Dimension Index changes its color from red to blue , it means that a trend is finishing. The market becomes erratic and high in volatility when the Fractal Dimension Index is blue . Usually, these "blue periods" do not go on for a long time, they come before a new trend.
So, look for trend-following signals while the Fractal Dimension Index is blue since this indicates high volatility before a potential trend, and avoid trend-following signals when the Fractal Dimension Index is red since this indicates a ranging/non-trending market or a trend that started long ago.
Fibonacci Progression with Breaks [LuxAlgo]This indicator highlights points where price significantly deviates from a central level. This deviation distance is determined by a user-set value or using a multiple of a period 200 Atr and is multiplied by successive values of the Fibonacci sequence.
Settings
Method: Distance method, options include "Manual" or "Atr"
Size: Distance in points if the selected method is "Manual" or Atr multiplier if the selected method is "Atr"
Sequence Length: Determines the maximum number of significant deviations allowed.
Usage
The indicator allows highlighting potential reversal points, but it can also determine trends using the central level, with an uptrend detected if the central level is higher than its previous value and vice versa for a downtrend.
When an uptrend is detected, and the price deviates significantly upward from it a first checkmark will be highlighted alongside the Fibonacci sequence used as a multiplier, if the price deviates downward, a cross will be shown instead, then the distance threshold will be multiplied by the next value in the Fibonacci sequence.
If the price deviates from the central level such that the length of the sequence is greater than the user set Sequence Length , a break label will be shown alongside a new central level with a value determined by the current closing price, while the Fibonacci multiplier will be reset to 1.
Upper and lower extremities made from the central level and threshold distance are highlighted and can be used as support and resistances.
RSI Wave SignalsQuick Description: Smoothed RSI with optimized trailing moving average. Look for cross above or cross under signals for buy and sell orders respectively.
VIDYA moving average of RSI incorporated with "optimized trend tracker" system. Thanks to kivancozbilgic and anilozeksi for implementing this great idea on Tradingview. The indicator adds "1,000" to the RSI MA values for more natural and accurate percentage trailing.
Settings:
- Period MA is the moving average length of the blue line
- Trailing Percentage of MA adjusts the percentage (sort of) trailing level of the moving average.
- RSI Length adjusts the rsi length in calculation.
Trading Tips:
- System might be enhanced by taking signals only on "oversold" or "overbought" territories (i.e <~1020 or >~1080)
- Adjust position size of by 4 times of atr(length=14)
- Take 50% of position as profit when position reaches the 4*atr TP Level (breakeven)
- Let the rest ride.
- Best performing on short frequencies such as 1, 3, 5 mins.
K's Reversal Indicator IK's reversal indicator I is a special combination between Bollinger bands and the MACD oscillator. It is a contrarian indicator that depends on the following conditions:
• A buy signal is generated whenever the current market price is below the 100-period lower Bollinger band while simultaneously, the MACD value must be above its signal line. At the same time, the previous MACD value must be below its previous signal line.
• A sell (short) signal is generated whenever the current market price is above the 100-period upper Bollinger band while simultaneously, the MACD value must be below its signal line. At the same time, the previous MACD value must be above its previous signal line.
The way to use K's reversal indicator is to combine it with your already long/short bias in a sideways/range market in order to maximize the probability of success.
Limitations of the indicator include the following:
• There are no clear exit rules that work well on average across the markets. Even though K’s reversal indicator gives contrarian signals, it does not show when to exit the positions.
• As with other indicators, it underperforms on some markets and is not to be used everywhere.
• False signals tend to occur during trending markets but there is no proven way to detect a false signal.
Trending Bollinger Bands by SiddWolfBollinger Bands are mostly used for trend reversal. I believe they should be used for Trend Continuation and Trend Confirmation.
In this Trending Bollinger Bands script you will see two bands drawn on chart. The Upper band is suggestive of Uptrend and Lower Band is suggestive of Downtrend Market. It just provides the guidance of where the market is now and where it is headed. It is not to be used as a standalone indicator. Use this to confirm your hypothesis of Uptrend or Downtrend.
Bollinger Bands Trend
When the price crosses the moving average it is interpreted as the price is gonna continue in that direction. But most of the time it is a fake breakout. With this script you get an additional confirmation so that you know it is not a fake breakout and the price have caught the trend.
Bollinger Bands Reversal:
This indicator can also work for reversal. For example when price closes outside the outer bands, it is most likely that the trend is gonna reverse. Don't just enter the trade wait for some other confirmation as reversal trading is more complicated.
Confluence:
Confluence is the key factor for profitable trading. Don't use this indicator as standalone indicator instead combine it with other indicators and price action. Like the divergence occurring when the price is outside the bands is suggestive of trend reversal. I have created a non-delay, non-repaint indicator for finding divergence. I'd soon publish that script. Stay tuned.
Settings is the Key:
Try to play around with the settings. It is a simple yet effective indicator. Change the moving average type or length. I've found moving average RMA or WMA works better than SMA. Find the best setting that works with your setup. Set the Band Source as High/Low to make the outer bands more extreme.
Conclusion:
This is my first script but it isn't my last. I've created quite a few gems that I'm gonna publish soon. If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to comment below. I'd love to connect with you. Thank you.
Trend Day IndentificationVolatility is cyclical, after a large move up or down the market typically "ranges" during the next session. Directional order flow that enters the market during this subsequent session tends not to persist, this non-persistency of transactions leads to a non-trend day which is when I trade intraday reversionary strategies.
This script finds trend days in BTC with the purpose of:
1) counting trend day frequency
2) predicting range contraction for the next 1-2 days so I can run intraday reversion strategies
Trend down is defined as daily bar opening within X% of high and closing within X% of low
Trend up is defined as daily bar opening within X% of low and closing within X% of high
default parameters are:
1) open range extreme = 15% (open is within 15% of high or low)
2) close range extreme = 15% (close is within 15% of high or low)
There is also an atr filter that checks that the trend day has a larger range than the previous 4 bars this is to make sure we find true range expansion vs recent ranges.
Notes:
If a trend day occurs after a prolonged sideways contraction it can signal a breakout - this is less common but is an exception to the rule. These types of occurrences can lead to the persistency of order flow and result in extended directional daily runs.
If a trend day occurs close to 20 days high or low (stopping just short OR pushing slightly through) then wait an additional day before trading intraday reversion strategies.
Distance from Vwap// How it Works \\
Measuring the distance of the close price from a higher timeframe VWAP - Volume Weighted Average Price
There is a threshold which is calculated by looking back at the previous x amount of bars and storing the highest/lowest values
If the distance from the vwap stretches above that threshold, the histogram will go green if price is above VWAP and red if its below the vwap
If the distance from the vwap reaches below the low threshold you will see the histogram flashes orange
// Settings \\
In the settings you have the ability to change what timeframe the indicator is calculated on, as well as this you can change the timeframe the VWAP is calculated on.
I always recommend using a higher timeframe vwap as they tend to me more respected
e.g on the hourly timeframe, I use the weekly VWAP, on 1 minute timeframe you may want to use 4 hour timeframe but obviously feel free to experiment
// Use Case \\
When histogram is flashing green, prices is pulling far away from the vwap, obviously you don't want to be buying a falling knife but if you have levels of confluence this can help spot reversals.
I personally wait until the first candle after its been green to get confirmation of the fall weakening. Vica versa for reds and shorts/sells.
When you see orange flashes, this shows that price has been consolidating and the price is very close to the higher time frame VWAP which could be considered a safe entry point as they tend to lead to a big move to follow
// Suggestions \\
Happy for anyone to make any suggestions on changes which could improve the script,
// Terms \\
Feel free to use the script, If you do use the script could you please just tag me as I am interested to see how people are using it. Good Luck!
HODL LINE [AstrideUnicorn]This indicator determines periods of bull market when a buy-and-hold investor can hold the asset, and bear market periods when they should avoid holding it. Though it was designed primarily with cryptocurrencies in mind, it can be successfully used for any market.
Technically, the indicator is an asymmetric trend filter aimed to account for the fact that market sell-offs tend to be sharper than up-trends. The algorithm has two regimes – with and without price smoothing.
HOW TO USE
The step-like line is the main trend filter. It is colored green in an uptrend and red in a downtrend. When the smoothing is on, in addition to the trend filter, the indicator plots a purple line. It is a Hull Moving Average (HMA) of the price. In this case, the indicator uses this line instead of the price to find crossings with the trend filter.
When the price or the smoothed line crosses the trend filter above, it is an uptrend signal. The indicator marks such crossings with green circles. It also colors the chart background green in an uptrend. The price or the purple line crossing the trend filter below means a downtrend signal. Downtrend signals show as red circles. The chart background in a downtrend turns red.
SETTINGS
Sensitivity – a dropdown list that allows the user to choose an averaging period of the indicator. Users can select a value for sensitivity from a predetermined set that better suits their investment horizon.
Use Smoothing – turns on and off smoothing of the price with HMA. With the smoothing turned on, the indicator responds slower to price changes, but at the same time produces less amount of false signals.
AlphaTrendAlphaTrend is a brand new indicator which I've personally derived from Trend Magic and still developing:
In Magic Trend we had some problems, Alpha Trend tries to solve those problems such as:
1-To minimize stop losses and overcome sideways market conditions.
2-To have more accurate BUY/SELL signals during trending market conditions.
3- To have significant support and resistance levels.
4- To bring together indicators from different categories that are compatible with each other and make a meaningful combination regarding momentum, trend, volatility, volume and trailing stop loss.
according to those purposes Alpha Trend:
1- Acts like a dead indicator like its ancestor Magic Trendin sideways market conditions and doesn't give many false signals.
2- With another line with 2 bars offsetted off the original one Alpha Trend have BUY and SELL signals from their crossovers.
BUY / LONG when Alpha Trend line crosses above its 2 bars offsetted line and there would be a green filling between them
SELL / SHORT when Alpha Trend line crosses below its 2 bars offsetted line and filling would be red then.
3- Alpha Trend lines
-act as support levels when an uptrend occurs trailing 1*ATR (default coefficient) distance from bar's low values
-conversely act as resistancelevels when a downtrend occurs trailing 1*ATR (default coefficient) distance from bar's high values
and acting as trailing stop losses
the more Alpha Trend lines straighter the more supports and resistances become stronger.
4- Trend Magic has CCI in calculation
Alpha Trend has MFI as momentum, but when there's no volume data MFI has 0 values, so there's abutton to change calculation considering RSI after checking the relevant box to overcome this problem when there is no volume data in that chart.
Momentum: RSI and MFI
Trend: Magic Trend
Volatility: ATR,
Trailing STOP: ATR TRAILING STOP
Volume: MFI
Alpha trend is really a combination of different types...
default values:
coefficient: 1 which is the factor of trailing ATR value
common period: 14 which is the length of ATR MFI and RSI
Wish you all use AlphaTrend in profitable trades.
