Efficient Trend Step - Spotting Trends EfficientlyIntroduction
The trend-step indicator (or auto-line) was based on volatility and aimed to spot trends in an adaptive way, however the indicator was only based on volatility and didn't gave much attention to the trend, later on i would publish an efficient version of it (efficient auto-line) based on the efficiency ratio who could adapt to the trend and eliminate potential whipsaws trades, however this approach included many settings that would require changes if the user switched markets, which reduce the utility of the indicator and make it actually super inefficient.
This is why i had to propose this indicator who remove all the flaws the efficient auto-line had without removing the core idea of it.
The Indicator
The indicator is based on recursion, when the price is superior/inferior to the indicator precedent value +/- volatility metric, then the indicator is equal to the closing price, this allow the indicator to fit the price relatively well. The volatility metric used is based on 2 standard deviations, one fast and one slow and the efficiency ratio, basically when price is trending the volatility metric will be closer to the value of the fast standard deviations, which would allow the indicator to be closer to the price, else the metric will be closer to the slow standard deviation which restrain the indicator from changing, therefore the volatility metric act as a threshold.
length control the period of the efficiency ratio, lower values of length will result in a volatility metric way closer to the fast standard deviation thus making the indicator more inclined toward making false signals.
Lower values for slow will make the indicator more reactive.
The indicator can be reactive but can also be really conservative, thus even remaining unchanged in some contrary movements of the main trend, this is called robustness and has its pro's and con's.
Conclusion
The trend-step indicators family might get to an end, or not, nonetheless they can provide precise entries and be extremely robust, which is great. Using low settings might prove to be useful to remove some noise. I hope this version find its use amongst the community. Thanks for reading !
Lancelot Band - ATR Reversal+Trending IndicatorThis is an indicator I created recently, with the mind of spotting where price might reverse and where the price is trending. You can see this as the primary indicator for your system, however, it is recommended you use this in conjunction with other confirmation indicators.
This script focus solely on ATR or Average True Range.
This indicator is the combination of the baseline from the Ichimoku cloud and the concept of the Keltner channel.
Baseline period = 14
ATR period = 14
ATR Mult = 1.5
For reversal
Long when price crossover Lower band & Stop loss at xLower band
Sell when price crossunder Upper band & Stop loss at xUpper band
For Trend Following
Long when price crossover xUpper band and Stop loss at Upper band
Short when price crossunder xLower band and Stop loss at Upper band
Again, you will need other indicators to help you to succeed in this system. This indicator will not generate the best exit for your position but will generate a good entry signal when you use it with both volume indicator and exit indicator.
Works well on BTCUSD XBTUSD, as well as other major liquid Pair.

Forecast Oscillator & Point of ForceThis is a scaled version of the Forecast Oscillator, paired with a Point of Force Indicator, my modification of an indicator, whose original name and developer happened to be missing on my notes, so my regards to the author).
Point of force is a spot from where price action will dynamically evolve in the same direction or soon reverse and pursue that reversed path. It may be an indication of a turning point or entry point to consider going long/short and should be use together with a background oscillator showing a prevailing local trend.
Smart Labelling - Candlestick ChartingThis is a full-fledged implementation of a system presented in an unique research paper 'Profitability of Candlestick Charting Patterns in the Stock Exchange of Thailand' (2017) on candlestick charting, candlestick patterns, trend identification methods, and testing.
You can easily find this paper in the Web. For example, visit: www.researchgate.net
This script is best suited for middle-to-higher time frames. Possible future developments: trend identification and factor calculation techniques.

HMA-Kahlman Trend, DifferenceFilter & TrendlinesThis update to the previous HMA-Kahlman Trend, Clipping & Trendlines script features the same structure with the three modules:
- Trendlines module,
- NEW Winsorizing submodule using difference-based filtering.
- HMA-Kahlman Trend module.
The Winsorizing submodule filters signals by a volume level, eliminating the ones with the volume below a threshold. This module substitutes the previous 'low-level' filtering implementation. This time it filters out based on difference between scaled volume and its moving average.
Tested with BTCUSD.
B-Xtrender @PuppytherapyI have recreated a trend following indicator published in IFTA Journal by Bharat Jhunjhunwala. It is mainly to be traded on big timeframes.
For anyone looking into the indicators please have in the source below where logic behing the indicator is nicely explained.
ifta.org
The only thing I added is a T3 moving average with momentum shift signals for earlier signals in some cases.
Mean Reversion IndicatorThis is a mean reversion indicator that anticipates a local trend reversion. Basically, it is a channel with the mid-line serving as a moving mean baseline. Each of the two curves run up and down within this channel bouncing off from the top and bottom bounds. Touching the bounds serves as an indication of a local trend reversal. The reversal signal is stronger when there exists a resonance (symmetry) in the two curves. The background histogram shows a Karobein oscillator that contributes support or resistance for the signal.
HMA-Kahlman Trend & TrendlinesThis script utilizes two modules, Trendlines module (by Joris Duyck) and HMA-Kahlman Trend module. Trendlines module produces crossovers predictive of the next local trend.
Chop FilterIt is common knowledge that most traders lose money by leaving trends too early and not letting profits run. Chop Filter attempts to paint over wrong-colored candles which might psychologically cause traders to bail off the trend. It also tries to detect potential trend reversals (experimental).
How it works. Chop Filter highlights wicks with a shaded background based on close relative to a volume-weighted moving average (vwma). If it closes up, or if there are higher lows, it shades the background blue. If it closes down, or there are lower highs, it colors the background red. Finally, it shows a big arrow indicating the direction prices are headed, based on the vwma. The arrow helps me to consider where prices might go, and play out different scenarios, rather than being a true prediction. In fact, it is often wrong when there is a lot of volatility, which can also be a good thing.
I find the shaded background has a calming effect that reduces stress. It also helps identify trends in the wicks that are otherwise difficult to see.
There are some other options to play with, such as highlighting narrowing or widening price action in yellow or optionally showing the vwma .
Have fun!

Hull-Kahlman Trend with AlertsThis update is meant for those who do not want to dig into the code.
Also:
- modified hma3 function
- modified kahlman function
- edited for readability
- added alerting
Chaikin Oscillator HystogramThis indicator shows an hystogram with the Chainkin Oscilator values, with color changes in function of the direction (up/down) . Also show the 0 crossovers, up and down.
Chaikin Oscillator gets its name from its creator, Marc Chaikin.
The Chaikin Indicator applies MACD to the accumulation-distribution line rather than closing price.
For me it's very usefull to identify (or confirm) trends up and trends down.

Linear Regression Trend ChannelThis is my first public release of indicator code and my PSv4.0 version of "Linear Regression Channel", as it is more commonly known. It replicates TV's built-in "Linear Regression" without the distraction of heavy red/blue fill bleeding into other indicators. We can't fill() line.new() at this time in Pine Script anyways. I entitled it Linear Regression Trend Channel, simply because it seems more accurate as a proper description. I nicely packaged this to the size of an ordinary napkin within 20 lines of compact code, simplifying the math to the most efficient script I could devise that fits in your pocket. This is commonly what my dense intricate code looks like behind the veil, and if you are wondering why there is no notes, that's because the notation is in the variable naming. I excluded Pearson correlation because it doesn't seem very useful to me, and it would comprise of additional lines of code I would rather avoid in this public release. Pearson correlation is included in my invite-only advanced version of "Enhanced Linear Regression Trend Channel", where I have taken Linear Regression Channeling to another level of fully featured novel attainability using this original source code.
Features List Includes:
"Period" adjustment
"Deviation(s)" adjustment
"Extend Method" option to extend or not extend the upper, medial, and lower channeling
Showcased in the chart below is my free to use "Enhanced Schaff Trend Cycle Indicator", having a common appeal to TV users frequently. If you do have any questions or comments regarding this indicator, I will consider your inquiries, thoughts, and ideas presented below in the comments section, when time provides it. As always, "Like" it if you simply just like it with a proper thumbs up, and also return to my scripts list occasionally for additional postings. Have a profitable future everyone!

Adaptive Trailing StopIntroduction
The ability to adapt to possible markets states is important in technical analysis, this is why making adaptive indicator might help get better results. I propose a trailing stop indicator using recursion that can adapt to the efficiency ratio. I have added alerts since it's a often requested feature.
The Indicator
Its quite classical, bands are firstly made then a trailing stop is built around them. The bands are recursive, this allow for faster calculations in general but it also allow for a faster adaptivity. An higher length or factor will make the indicator detect longer term trends, factor determine the raising power of the efficiency ratio.
When smooth is checked the trailing stop will appear smoother.
When adaptive is unchecked the indicator will still act as a trailing stop but might be more affected to ranging markets.
Set a static/trailing stop loss :
You can set your stop loss based on the indicator, a static stop loss can be set at the value of the trailing stop when you enter the market. You can also set it as trailing stop, the indicator will follow the trend thus allowing for potential profits to grow's.
Determine The Trend Direction :
You can generate buy sell signals based on the indicator position relative to the price, when the indicator is lower than the price this indicate a up trending market, when the indicator is higher than the price this indicate a down trending market. If the trailing stop move this indicate a strong current trend.
False signals with trailing stops can happen, the price might go toward the trailing stop making it generate another signal, when market is ranging and exhibiting cyclical behaviour this can affect the indicator and the user might get stuck in a series of false signals, higher length/factor values can fix that at the cost of less early signals.
Identification Of Support And Resistance
Bands during low volatility/ranging markets can return potential reversal points when crossing with the price. The indicator can also do it, even if high/low crosses are better suited to determine support and resistance levels when using a trailing stop. You can use support/resistance identification in conjonction of the current trend detected by the indicator.
Conclusion
The indicator is fully operational in fixed mode while having potential down points in adaptive mode. As you can see the code that return the bands is fully recursive and might provide a great way to create adaptive bands in the future.
I have been asked to give more detail about the indicator uses rather than the construction, i hope the showcased uses are convenient.
Note that the showcased uses can be applied to any trailing stop.
Thanks for reading.
VWMA Trend FilterHere's a simple tool for determining long term trend direction using two Volume Weighted Moving Averages (VWMA). The VWMA's emphasis on volume often makes it a better measurement for trend direction than the more popular Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
Trend direction is determined by comparing a fast and slow VWMA. The default length for the fast VWMA is 50 periods, while the slow uses a default length of 200. Both of these lengths can be modified in the input options menu. The default source for the VWMA's is HLC3((high + low + close) / 3).
If the fast VWMA is greater than the slow VWMA, then the trend is bullish and the background color is green. If the fast VWMA is less than the slow VWMA, then it is bearish and the background color is red.
We included an option to change the candle color based on whether the VWMA's indicate a bullish or bearish trend as well.
Overall, this is one of those utility tools that we like to use as an overlay over the main price chart and in conjunction with other signal generating indicators. Its purpose isn't to generate buy and sell signals, but it works well as a visual confirmation tool to help traders gauge trend direction.
