GMH : Tech Bubble Good Morning Holding
Simulating How to Ride the Bubble — and Jump Out Before the Crash
Be careful! Most simulation results show that this strategy sometimes underperforms a simple buy-and-hold, because it gives away positions during deep retracements and buys back at higher thresholds.
Humans often struggle with cutting losses. When the pain becomes too much, they lose the confidence needed to execute even a reasonable strategy.
But in terms of mentality, this approach reduces long-term portfolio volatility. It helps investors feel more at peace, especially during real market crashes like the tech bubble in 2021.

Liquidity Void Detector + Pro SignalsWhat This Indicator Does
This indicator detects “liquidity voids”—large displacement candles with very high body-to-wick ratios and size significantly above recent ATR—where price moved rapidly and left untested areas.
It automatically draws shaded boxes for new, non-overlapping voids, shows a moveable dashboard (void fill probabilities), and provides one clean, actionable long/short signal per void when price action and momentum confirm.
How It Works
Void Detection: Candles with a body/wick ratio and size above user threshold trigger a potential liquidity void.
Box Drawing: Each new void is drawn as a shaded box (yellow/orange) that never overlaps other active voids.
Signal Confirmation: A “LONG” or “SHORT” label appears at the first bar within each valid void if momentum and candlestick structure align.
Dashboard: User-selectable dashboard shows up-to-date stats on remaining unfilled, partially filled, and fully filled voids.
Alerts: Built-in alerts fire when a new high-probability long/short signal is detected (user must add alerts manually).
Key Features
No overlap, no clutter: Only the latest set of boxes and a single signal per event are drawn. Oldest boxes are pruned automatically.
Momentum filter: Signals combine void and trend strength for higher conviction, filtering out weak/fake moves.
Non-repainting: Signals, boxes, and logic only use confirmed bar data—no repaint or future leaks.
Adjustable settings: Every threshold (body/wick ratio, ATR size, maximum boxes, dashboard location, signal label size) is user-configurable.
Efficient for all timeframes and asset classes.
How to Use
Add to your chart:
Click "Add to Chart" or search “Liquidity Void Detector” in the indicator search panel.
Tune your inputs:
Adjust the Body/Wick Ratio and Min Size vs ATR for your market or timeframe.
Set the Void Box Length (how many bars the box displays), signal sensitivity, and maximum concurrent voids.
Move the dashboard as needed for your chart layout.
What to look for:
Yellow/orange boxes highlight recent liquidity voids—untested price gaps where future reactions may occur.
LONG/SHORT signals appear only where a fresh void coincides with confirmed momentum in that direction.
Dashboard tracks probability of voids remaining unfilled, being partially filled, or fully refilled by price.
Trading logic and best use:
Traders may use void boxes to anticipate where price might react, reverse, or trend continuation can resume.
Combine signals with additional price action confirmation such as S/R levels, order blocks, wick rejections, volume spikes, or patterns (e.g., pin bars, engulfing).
Use signal alerts in conjunction with order flow, session profile, or support/resistance tools for increased confluence.
Always backtest and demo trade before live use.

Nadaraya-Watson: Rational Quadratic Kernel (Opening Gap Shift)What we did to fix it: We didn't throw out the old data (that made it too jumpy early in the day).
Instead, we "tricked" the kernel by shifting all the previous day's prices up or down by the exact gap amount (e.g., if it gapped up 50 points, add 50 to every old price point). This makes the history "line up" with the new day's starting level.
Created so with a fresh session the Nadaraya-Watson Regression Kernel is relevant from the get go - no catch up on opening gaps.
All credit to jdehorty his full description is below.
What is Nadaraya–Watson Regression?
Nadaraya–Watson Regression is a type of Kernel Regression, which is a non-parametric method for estimating the curve of best fit for a dataset. Unlike Linear Regression or Polynomial Regression, Kernel Regression does not assume any underlying distribution of the data. For estimation, it uses a kernel function, which is a weighting function that assigns a weight to each data point based on how close it is to the current point. The computed weights are then used to calculate the weighted average of the data points.
How is this different from using a Moving Average?
A Simple Moving Average is actually a special type of Kernel Regression that uses a Uniform (Retangular) Kernel function. This means that all data points in the specified lookback window are weighted equally. In contrast, the Rational Quadratic Kernel function used in this indicator assigns a higher weight to data points that are closer to the current point. This means that the indicator will react more quickly to changes in the data.
Why use the Rational Quadratic Kernel over the Gaussian Kernel?
The Gaussian Kernel is one of the most commonly used Kernel functions and is used extensively in many Machine Learning algorithms due to its general applicability across a wide variety of datasets. The Rational Quadratic Kernel can be thought of as a Gaussian Kernel on steroids; it is equivalent to adding together many Gaussian Kernels of differing length scales. This allows the user even more freedom to tune the indicator to their specific needs.
The formula for the Rational Quadratic function is:
K(x, x') = (1 + ||x - x'||^2 / (2 * alpha * h^2))^(-alpha)
where x and x' data are points, alpha is a hyperparameter that controls the smoothness (i.e. overall "wiggle") of the curve, and h is the band length of the kernel.
Does this Indicator Repaint?
No, this indicator has been intentionally designed to NOT repaint. This means that once a bar has closed, the indicator will never change the values in its plot. This is useful for backtesting and for trading strategies that require a non-repainting indicator.
Settings:
Bandwidth. This is the number of bars that the indicator will use as a lookback window.
Relative Weighting Parameter. The alpha parameter for the Rational Quadratic Kernel function. This is a hyperparameter that controls the smoothness of the curve. A lower value of alpha will result in a smoother, more stretched-out curve, while a lower value will result in a more wiggly curve with a tighter fit to the data. As this parameter approaches 0, the longer time frames will exert more influence on the estimation, and as it approaches infinity, the curve will become identical to the one produced by the Gaussian Kernel.
Color Smoothing. Toggles the mechanism for coloring the estimation plot between rate of change and cross over modes.

Target Reach & Trend ProjectionTarget Reach & Trend Projection
Overview: The Target Reach & Trend Projection indicator helps traders estimate how long (in candles) it might take for the price to reach a chosen target level, while also providing insight into the current and higher-timeframe trend directions.
Key Features
1. Target Projection: Set your custom Target Price manually.
The indicator calculates the expected number of candles needed to reach that price, based on recent price velocity.
Displays an estimated date and time for when the price could reach your target.
2. Trend Detection (Local): Detects the current market direction using one of two methods:
Linear Trend: Measures direct slope between candles.
Smoothed Trend: Uses a moving average slope for cleaner, less noisy trend estimation.
3. Higher-Timeframe Confirmation: Confirms whether the higher timeframe (e.g., 4H, 1D) trend agrees with the local trend.
Displays “✅ Aligned” when both are in sync and “⚠️ Diverging” when not.
4. On-Chart Information: A dynamic label near the target price line shows:
Target level
Trend method used
Estimated candles to target
Current trend direction
Estimated time of arrival (ETA)
Higher-timeframe trend confirmation
5. Visual Feedback: Background color changes lightly to reflect trend direction (green for bullish, red for bearish).
6. Alerts: Optional alerts for when:
The target price is reached.
Both local and higher-timeframe trends align bullishly or bearishly.
How It Works
The script measures the average price velocity (slope) over a chosen lookback period.
It then divides the distance between the current price and the target by that slope to estimate how many candles it might take to get there.
It projects the estimated time of arrival based on your chart’s current timeframe.
The script also checks a higher timeframe trend (using a moving average) for multi-timeframe confirmation.
🧭 Use Cases
Estimating the time horizon for swing trades or targets.
Confirming momentum direction before entering or exiting positions.
Aligning intraday setups with higher-timeframe trends.
⚠️ Notes
Estimates assume current trend velocity continues — it does not predict future volatility or reversals.
Works best on time-based charts with clear directional movement (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D).
Intraday Technical Strength Dashboard — 5m (Universal) — FIXED2An Intraday Technical Strength Dashboard for RSI, OBV, MACD, ADX, and EMA Cloud
Market Structure Volume Time Velocity ProfileThis is the Market Structure Volume Time Velocity Profile (MSVTVP). It combines event-based profiling with advanced metrics like Time and Velocity (Flow Rate). Instead of fixed time periods, profiles are anchored to critical market events (Swings, Structure Breaks, Delta Breaks), giving you a precise view of value development during specific market phases.
## The 3 Dimensions of the Market
Unlike standard tools that only show Volume, MSVTVP allows you
to switch between three critical metrics:
1. **VOLUME Profile (The "Where"):**
* Shows standard acceptance. High volume nodes (HVN)
are magnets for price.
2. **TIME Profile (The "How Long"):**
* Similar to TPO, it measures how long price spent at each
level.
* **High Time:** True acceptance and fair value.
* **Low Time:** Rejection or rapid movement.
3. **VELOCITY Profile (The "How Fast"):**
* Measures the **speed of trading** (Contracts per Second).
This reveals the hidden intent of market participants.
* **High Velocity (Fast Flow):** Aggression. Initiative
buyers/sellers are hitting market orders rapidly. Often
seen at breakouts or in liquidity vacu.
* **Low Velocity (Slow Flow):** Absorption. Massive passive
limit orders are slowing price down despite high volume.
Often seen at major reversals ("hitting a brick wall").
Key Features:
1. **Event-Based Profile Anchoring:** The indicator starts a new
profile based on one of three user-selected events
('Profile Anchor'):
- **Swing:** A new profile begins when the 'impulse baseline'
(derived from intra-bar delta) changes. This baseline
adjusts when a new **price pivot** is confirmed: When a
price **high** forms, the baseline moves to the **lower**
of its previous level or the peak delta (max of
delta O/C) at the pivot. When a price **low** forms, it
moves to the **higher** of its previous level or the
trough delta (min of delta O/C) at the pivot.
- **Structure:** A new profile begins immediately on the bar
that *confirms* a market structure break (e.g., a new HH
or LL, based on a sequence of price pivots).
- **Delta:** A new profile begins immediately on the bar
that *confirms* a break in the *cumulative delta's*
market structure (e.g., a new HH or LL in the delta).
Both 'Swing' and 'Delta' anchors are derived from the same
**continuous (non-resetting) Cumulative Volume Profile Delta (CVPD)**,
which is built from the intra-bar statistical analysis.
2. **Statistical Profile Engine:** For each bar in the anchored
period, the indicator builds a volume profile on a lower
'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. Instead of simple tick counting, it
uses advanced statistical models:
- **Allocation ('Allot model'):** 'PDF' (Probability Density
Function) distributes volume proportionally across the
bar's range based on an assumed statistical model
(e.g., T4-Skew). 'Classic' assigns all volume to
the close.
- **Buy/Sell Split ('Volume Estimator'):** 'Dynamic'
applies a model that analyzes candle wicks and
recent trend to estimate buy/sell pressure. 'Classic'
classifies all volume based on the candle color.
3. **Visualization & Lag:** The indicator plots the final
profile (as a polygon) and the developing statistical
lines (POC, VA, VWAP, StdDev).
- **Note on Lag:** All anchor events require `Pivot Right Bars`
for confirmation.
- In 'Structure' and 'Delta' mode, the developing lines
(POC, VA, etc.) are plotted using a **non-repainting**
method (showing the value from `pivRi` bars ago).
- In 'Swing' mode, the profile is plotted **retroactively**,
starting *from the bar where the pivot occurred*. The
developing lines are also plotted with this full
`pivRi` lag to align with the past data.
4. **Flexible Display Modes:** The finalized profile can be displayed
in three ways: 'Up/Down' (buy vs. sell), 'Total' (combined
volume), and 'Delta' (net difference).
5. **Dynamic Row Sizing:** Includes an option ('Rows per Percent')
to automatically adjust the number of profile rows (buckets)
based on the profile's price range.
6. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes 13 alerts that trigger for:
- A new profile reset ('Profile was resetted').
- Price crossing any of the 6 developing levels (POC,
VA High/Low, VWAP, StdDev High/Low).
- **Alert Lag Assumption:** In 'Swing' mode, alerts are
delayed to match the retroactively plotted lines.
In 'Structure' and 'Delta' modes, alerts fire in
**real-time** based on the *current price* crossing
the *current (repainting)* value of the metric, which
may **differ from the non-repainting plotted line.**
**Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting)**
This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the
values on the **current, unclosed bar** (the real-time bar) will
update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This includes
the values used for real-time alerts in 'Structure' and
'Delta' modes.

Taiwan Pagoda Chart (Triple)The code is open-source.
======================
Indicator Name
Taiwan Pagoda Chart
This is a technical analysis charting method similar to candlesticks but with different logic, designed to filter market noise and identify trend reversal points.
Key Features
Dynamic Pagoda Line Plotting
Unlike traditional candlesticks that plot every bar, the Pagoda line only updates when the price breaks above the previous high or below the previous low by a certain threshold.
Bullish (rising) bars are shown in green; bearish (falling) bars in red.
Multiple Optional Filters
T-value filter: Sets a minimum price change threshold to avoid signals from minor fluctuations.
Price percentage filter: Dynamically adjusts sensitivity based on a percentage of the previous Pagoda bar’s range.
ATR volatility filter: Uses Average True Range (ATR) to widen the threshold during high volatility and tighten it during low volatility.
Visual Design
Semi-transparent Pagoda structure for better visual context.
A bold central trend line to clearly show the underlying market direction.
Trading Signal Alerts
Bullish reversal (turning green): Potential buy signal.
Bearish reversal (turning red): Potential sell signal.
Optional on-chart labels (B / S) and support for TradingView alert notifications.
Highly Customizable
Users can freely adjust colors, line width, filtering rules, and signal visibility—making it adaptable to various trading styles.
Ideal Use Cases
Trend following
Reducing false breakouts
Helping medium-to-long-term traders identify high-probability entry and exit points
Adaptive Trend Trigger // VX-ATTAdaptive Trend Trigger // VX-ATT is a trend-following bias indicator that combines a baseline EMA with adaptive ATR bands and a momentum override layer.
Core idea:
The EMA defines the baseline trend.
ATR bands above/below the EMA mark zones where volatility is high enough to justify a directional push.
A break above the upper band switches the bias to Long.
A break below the lower band switches the bias to Short.
Strong candle bodies (measured vs. an average body size) can temporarily override the current bias when they close far above/below the EMA (momentum override).
What the indicator does:
Colors the background based on the active bias (Long/Short).
Plots EMA + ATR bands.
Marks strong momentum candles with arrows.
Provides alerts when the bias flips from Long → Short or Short → Long.
Typical use cases:
Trend filter for discretionary entries
Bias layer for strategies or additional indicators
Only trade in the direction of the active bias (e.g., favor Long setups in Long bias, avoid counter-trend scalps)
This is a simplified, free component extracted from my VX toolset (VX-ATT), designed as a clean, plug-and-play trend/bias layer you can combine with your own setups.
Adaptive Momentum Pressure (AMP)🔹 Adaptive Momentum Pressure (AMP)
A hybrid momentum oscillator that adapts to volatility and trend dynamics.
AMP measures the rate of change of price pressure and automatically adjusts its sensitivity based on market volatility.
It reacts faster in trending markets and smooths out noise during consolidation — helping traders identify genuine momentum shifts early while avoiding whipsaws.
🧠 Core Concept
AMP fuses three elements into one adaptive momentum model:
Normalized Momentum (ROC) – captures directional acceleration of price.
Adaptive Smoothing – the smoothing length dynamically contracts when volatility rises and expands when it falls.
Directional Bias – derived from the short-term EMA slope to weight momentum toward the prevailing trend.
Combined, these form a pressure value oscillating between –100 and +100, revealing when momentum expands or fades.
⚙️ How It Works
Calculates a normalized rate of change (ROC) relative to recent volatility.
Adjusts its effective length using the ATR — more volatile periods shorten the lookback for quicker reaction.
Applies a custom EMA that adapts in real time.
Modulates momentum by a normalized EMA slope (“trend bias”).
Produces a smoothed AMP line with a Signal line and crossover markers.
🔍 How to Read It
Green AMP line rising above Signal → Building bullish momentum.
Red AMP line falling below Signal → Fading or bearish momentum.
White Signal line = smoothed confirmation of trend energy.
Green dots = early bullish crossovers.
Red dots = early bearish crossovers.
Typical interpretations:
AMP crossing above 0 from below → early bullish impulse.
AMP peaking near +50–100 and curling down → potential momentum exhaustion.
Crosses below 0 with red pressure → bearish confirmation.
⚡ Advantages
✅ Adaptive across all markets and timeframes
✅ Built-in trend bias filters false signals
✅ Reacts earlier than RSI/MACD while reducing noise
✅ No manual retuning required
🧩 Suggested Use
Combine with structure or volume tools to confirm breakouts.
Works well as a momentum confirmation filter for entries/exits.
Optimal display: separate oscillator pane (not overlay).
Use it responsibly — AMP is an analytical tool, not financial advice.
EMA 50/100/200 Trend BandsEMA Trend Bands is a clean and powerful trend-structure tool built around the classic 50/100/200 EMA stack.
It provides an intuitive, color-coded view of market conditions by identifying when the trend is bullish, bearish, or neutral based on EMA alignment.
This indicator is designed for traders who want a simple, objective trend filter without the clutter of extra signals or repainting logic.
Market Breadth - [JTCAPITAL]Market Breadth - is a comprehensive crypto market strength and sentiment indicator designed to visualize the overall bullish or bearish alignment across 40 major cryptocurrencies. By combining multi-asset Exponential Moving Average (EMA) comparisons and smoothing techniques, it offers a clean, aggregated view of the broader market trend—helping traders quickly assess whether the market is dominated by bullish momentum or bearish pressure.
The indicator works by calculating in the following steps:
Symbol Selection and Data Retrieval
The script monitors 40 leading cryptocurrencies based on Market Cap. Each asset’s daily close price is requested using a 1D timeframe. This ensures that every data point reflects the same temporal resolution, allowing the indicator to evaluate global crypto strength rather than individual token volatility.
EMA Comparison per Asset
For each asset, two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are calculated:
A short-term EMA with period emalength (default 10).
A long-term EMA with period emalength2 (default 20).
Each coin receives a score of +1 when the short-term EMA is greater than the long-term EMA (indicating bullish structure), or -1 when it is below (indicating bearish structure). This binary scoring system effectively converts individual price action into a directional sentiment measure.
Market Breadth Aggregation
All 40 individual scores are summed into a single composite value called scores .
If many assets have bullish EMA alignment, the total score becomes strongly positive.
If the majority show bearish alignment, the total score turns negative.
This step transforms scattered price data into one unified market breadth metric—quantifying how many assets participate in the same directional trend.
Smoothing the Breadth Line
To reduce short-term noise and isolate trend direction, the aggregated score is smoothed using an EMA of length = smoothlen (default 15). The resulting smoothed line helps identify sustained shifts in collective sentiment rather than temporary fluctuations.
Visualization and Color Coding
When scores > 0 , the market breadth is bullish and the histogram is colored blue.
When scores < 0 , the breadth turns bearish and the histogram is purple.
The same logic applies to the smoothed line and background color, offering an instant visual cue of market mood transitions.
Buy and Sell Conditions:
The indicator itself does not trigger direct buy/sell signals but rather acts as a market regime filter . Traders can use it as follows:
Buy Filter: When the smoothed value is above zero and rising, the majority of assets confirm an uptrend — this favors long setups or trend continuation entries.
Sell Filter: When the smoothed value is below zero and falling, bearish alignment dominates — ideal for short setups or defensive risk management.
Optional filters could include combining this with RSI or volume-weighted momentum indicators to confirm breadth-based reversals.
Features and Parameters:
emalength – Defines the short-term EMA length used for individual asset trend detection (default 10).
emalength2 – Defines the long-term EMA length (default 20).
smoothlen – Defines the smoothing EMA length for the total market breadth line (default 15).
40 asset inputs – User-editable symbols allow full customization of which cryptos are tracked.
Dynamic color backgrounds – Visual distinction between bullish and bearish phases.
Specifications:
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
EMA is a type of moving average that places more weight on recent price data, responding faster to market changes compared to SMA. By comparing a short-term and long-term EMA, the indicator captures momentum shifts across each asset individually. The crossover logic (EMA10 > EMA20) signals bullish conditions, while the opposite indicates bearish momentum.
Market Breadth
Market Breadth quantifies how many assets are participating in a directional move. Instead of tracking a single coin’s trend, breadth analysis measures collective sentiment. When most coins’ short-term EMAs are above long-term EMAs, the market shows healthy bullish breadth. Conversely, when most are below, weakness dominates.
Smoothing (EMA on Scores)
After summing the breadth score, the result is smoothed with an additional EMA to mitigate the inherent volatility caused by individual coin reversals. This second-level smoothing transforms raw fluctuations into a readable, trend-consistent curve.
Color Visualization
Visual cues are integral for intuitive interpretation.
Blue Shades: Indicate bullish alignment and collective upward momentum.
Purple Shades: Indicate bearish conditions and potential risk-off phases.
The background tint reinforces visual clarity even when the indicator is overlaid on price charts.
Background Logic
By applying the same color logic to the chart’s background, users can instantly recognize the prevailing market phase.
Use Cases
As a trend confirmation filter for other indicators (e.g., trade only in the direction of positive breadth).
As a divergence tool : when price rises but breadth weakens, it may signal a topping market.
As a macro sentiment monitor : perfect for assessing when the crypto market as a whole transitions from bearish to bullish structure.
Summary
“ Market Breadth - ” transforms the chaotic price movements of 40 cryptocurrencies into a single, powerful visual representation of overall market health. By merging EMA cross analysis with market-wide aggregation and smoothing , it provides traders with a deep understanding of when bullish or bearish forces dominate the ecosystem.
It’s a clean, data-driven approach to identifying shifts in crypto market sentiment — a perfect companion for trend-following, macro analysis, and timing portfolio exposure.

MA SMART Angle
### 📊 WHAT IS MA SMART ANGLE?
**MA SMART Angle** is an advanced momentum and trend detection indicator that analyzes the angles (slopes) of multiple moving averages to generate clear, non-repainting BUY and SELL signals.
**Original Concept Credit:** This indicator builds upon the "MA Angles" concept originally created by **JD** (also known as Duyck). The core angle calculation methodology and Jurik Moving Average (JMA) implementation by **Everget** are preserved from the original open-source work. The angle calculation formula was contributed by **KyJ**. This enhanced version is published with respect to the open-source nature of the original indicator.
Original indicator reference: "ma angles - JD" by Duyck
---
## 🎯 ORIGINALITY & VALUE PROPOSITION
### **What Makes This Different from the Original:**
While the original "MA Angles" by **JD** provided excellent angle visualization, it lacked actionable entry signals. **MA SMART Angle** addresses this by adding:
**1. Clear Entry/Exit Signals**
- Explicit BUY/SELL arrows based on angle crossovers, momentum confirmation, and MA alignment
- No guessing when to enter trades - the indicator tells you exactly when conditions align
**2. Non-Repainting Logic**
- All signals use confirmed historical data (shifted by 2 bars minimum)
- Critical for backtesting reliability and live trading confidence
- Original indicator could repaint signals on current bar
**3. Dual Signal System**
- **Simple Mode:** More frequent signals based on angle crossovers + momentum (for active traders)
- **Strict Mode:** Requires full multi-MA alignment + momentum confirmation (for conservative traders)
- Adaptable to different trading styles and risk tolerances
**4. Smart Signal Filtering**
- **Anti-spam cooldown:** Prevents duplicate signals within configurable bar count
- **No-trade zone detection:** Filters out low-conviction sideways markets automatically
- **Multi-timeframe MA alignment:** Ensures all moving averages agree on direction before signaling
**5. Enhanced Visualization**
- Large, clear BUY/SELL arrows with descriptive labels
- Color-coded backgrounds for market states (trending vs. ranging)
- Momentum histogram showing acceleration/deceleration in real-time
- Live status table displaying trend strength, angle value, momentum, and MA alignment
**6. Professional Alert System**
- Four distinct alert conditions: BUY Signal, SELL Signal, Strong BUY, Strong SELL
- Enables automated trade notifications and strategy integration
**7. Modified MA Periods**
- Original used EMA(27), EMA(83), EMA(278)
- Enhanced version uses faster EMA(3), EMA(8), EMA(13) for more responsive signals
- Better suited for modern volatile markets and shorter timeframes
---
## 📐 HOW IT WORKS - TECHNICAL EXPLANATION
### **Core Methodology:**
The indicator calculates angles (slopes) for five key moving averages:
- **JMA (Jurik Moving Average)** - Smooth, lag-reduced trend line (original implementation by **Everget**)
- **JMA Fast** - Responsive momentum indicator with higher power parameter
- **MA27 (EMA 3)** - Primary fast-moving average for signal generation
- **MA83 (EMA 8)** - Medium-term trend confirmation
- **MA278 (EMA 13)** - Slower trend filter
### **Angle Calculation Formula (by KyJ):**
```
angle = arctan((MA - MA ) / ATR(14)) × (180 / π)
```
**Why ATR normalization?**
- Makes angles comparable across different instruments (forex, stocks, crypto)
- Makes angles comparable across different timeframes
- Accounts for volatility - a 10-point move in different assets has different significance
**Angle Interpretation:**
- **> 15°** = Strong trend (momentum accelerating)
- **0° to 15°** = Weak trend (momentum present but moderate)
- **-2° to +2°** = No-trade zone (sideways/choppy market)
- **< -15°** = Strong downtrend
### **Signal Generation Logic:**
#### **BUY Signal Conditions:**
1. MA27 angle crosses above 0° (upward momentum initiates)
2. All three EMAs (3, 8, 13) pointing upward (trend alignment confirmed)
3. Momentum is positive for 2+ bars (acceleration, not deceleration)
4. Angle exceeds minimum threshold (not in no-trade zone)
5. Cooldown period passed (prevents signal spam)
#### **SELL Signal Conditions:**
1. MA27 angle crosses below 0° (downward momentum initiates)
2. All three EMAs pointing downward (downtrend alignment)
3. Momentum is negative for 2+ bars
4. Angle below negative threshold (not in no-trade zone)
5. Cooldown period passed
#### **Strong BUY+ / SELL+ Signals:**
Additional entry opportunities when JMA Fast crosses JMA Slow while maintaining strong directional angle - indicates momentum acceleration within established trend.

- **Strict:** Angle crossover AND all MAs aligned AND momentum confirmed
- Start with Simple, switch to Strict if too many false signals
**4. Minimum Angle for Signal** (default: 5°)
- Only generate signals when angle exceeds this threshold
- Higher values = stronger trends required
- Lower values = more sensitive to momentum changes
**5. Cooldown Bars** (default: 5)
- Minimum bars between consecutive signals
- Prevents spam during volatile chop
- Scale with your timeframe (higher TF = more bars)
**6. Color Bars** (default: true)
- Colors chart bars based on signal state
- Green = bullish conditions, Red = bearish conditions
- Can disable if you prefer clean price bars
**7. Background Colors**
- **Yellow background** = No-trade zone (low angle, ranging market)
- **Green flash** = BUY signal generated
- **Red flash** = SELL signal generated
- All customizable or can be disabled

## 📚 EDUCATIONAL VALUE
This indicator serves as an excellent learning tool for understanding:
**1. Angle-Based Momentum Analysis**
- Traditional indicators show MA crossovers
- This shows the *rate of change* (velocity) of MAs
- Teaches traders to think in terms of momentum acceleration
**2. Multi-Timeframe Confirmation**
- Shows how fast, medium, and slow MAs interact
- Demonstrates importance of trend alignment
- Helps develop patience for high-probability setups
**3. Signal Quality vs. Quantity Tradeoff**
- Simple mode = more signals, more noise
- Strict mode = fewer signals, higher quality
- Teaches discretionary filtering skills
**4. Market State Recognition**
- Visual distinction between trending and ranging markets
- Helps traders avoid trading choppy conditions
- Develops "market context" awareness

Trendlines with Breaks Oscillator [LuxAlgo]The Trendlines with Breaks Oscillator is an oscillator based on the Trendlines with Breaks indicator, and tracks the maximum distance on price from bullish and bearish trendline breakouts.
The oscillator features divergences and trendline breakout detection.
🔶 USAGE
This tool is based on our Trendlines with Breaks indicator, which detects bullish and bearish trendlines and highlights the breaks on the chart. Now, we bring you this tool as an oscillator.
The oscillator calculates the maximum distance between the price and the break of each trendline, for both bullish and bearish cases, then calculates the delta between both.
When the oscillator is above 0, the market is in an uptrend; when it is below 0, it is in a downtrend. An ascending slope indicates positive momentum, and a descending slope indicates negative momentum.
Trendline breaks are displayed as green and red dots on the oscillator. A green dot corresponds to a bullish break of a descending trendline, and a red dot corresponds to a bearish break of an ascending trendline.
The oscillator calculation depends on two parameters from the settings panel: short and long alpha length. These parameters are used to calculate a synthetic EMA with a variable alpha for both bullish and bearish breaks. The final result is the difference between the two averages.
As shown in the image, using the same trend detection parameters but different alphas can produce very different results. The larger the alphas, the smoother the oscillator becomes, detecting bigger trends but making it less reactive.
This tool features the same trendline detection system as the Trendlines with Breaks indicator, which is based on three main parameters: swing length, slope, and calculation method.
As we can see in the image above, the data collected for the oscillator calculation will be different when using different parameters. A larger length detects larger trends. A larger slope or a different calculation method also impacts the final result.
🔹 Signal Line
The signal line is a smoothed version of the oscillator; traders can choose the smoothing method and length used from the settings panel.
In the image, the signal line crossings are displayed as vertical lines. As we can see, the market usually corrects downward after a bearish crossing and corrects upward after a bullish crossing.
Traders can choose among 10 different smoothing methods for the signal line. In the image, we can see how different methods and lengths give different outputs.
🔹 Divergences
The tool features a divergence detector that helps traders understand the strength behind price movements. Traders can adjust the detection length from the settings panel.
As shown in the image, a bearish divergence occurs when the price prints higher highs, but the momentum on the histogram prints lower highs. A bullish divergence occurs when the price prints lower lows, but the histogram prints higher lows.
By adjusting the length of the divergence detector, traders can filter out smaller divergences, allowing the tool to only detect more significant ones.
The image above depicts divergences detected with different lengths; the larger the length, the bigger the divergences are detected.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Trendlines
Swing Detection Lookback: The size of the market structure used for trendline detection.
Slope: Slope steepness, a value of 0 gives horizontal levels, values larger than 1 give a steeper slope
Slope Calculation Method: Choose how the slope is calculated
🔹 Oscillator
Short Alpha Length: Synthetic EMA short period
Long Alpha Length: Synthetic EMA long period
Smoothing Signal: Choose the smoothing method and period
Divergences: Enable or disable divergences and select the detection length.
🔹 Style
Bullish: Select bullish color.
Bearish: Select bearish color.
Asset vs Total Market Cap & Relative Strength Purpose
This indicator allows traders to compare a selected asset to the major market benchmarks:
BTC – primary crypto market leader
ETH – secondary crypto market leader
USDT.D – shows market risk-on vs risk-off sentiment
TOTAL – total crypto market capitalization, useful for overall market trends
It also provides relative strength calculations:
Rel. Strength = Asset % change - USDT.D % change
Rel. Strength vs Total = Asset % change - Total % change
This allows you to see if your asset is outperforming or underperforming broader benchmarks.
The table covers multiple timeframes, making it easy to scan both short-term and longer-term trends:
Row Timeframe
0 Current
1 15m
2 1H
3 4H
4 1D
Selected Asset / BTC / ETH:
Green for positive % change
Red for negative % change
Gradient intensity proportional to magnitude (maxAbsChange input)
USDT.D:
Orange if rising (risk-off)
Teal if falling (risk-on)
Total Market Cap / Rel. Strength:
Gradient reflects asset performance relative to total market, independent of USDT.D.
Positives
Compact dashboard: Everything is in one table for quick scanning.
Multi-timeframe comparison: Traders can instantly see short-term vs long-term strength.
Relative performance visualization: Gradients immediately highlight outperformers and underperformers.
Benchmark comparisons: Asset vs BTC, ETH, USDT.D, and Total Market Cap.
Independent Rel. Strength: Highlights whether the asset is outperforming even if the total market moves.
Customizable gradient sensitivity: maxAbsChange and maxRelChange allow tuning how “strong” the colors appear.
Chart plotting: Rel. Strength vs total market is plotted for further visual reference.
How to Use
Green table cells → strong positive movement
Red table cells → negative movement
Rel. Strength > 0 → asset outperforming
Rel. Strength < 0 → asset underperforming
Use table to compare relative performance vs BTC, ETH, and total market for informed trading decisions.
Lightning Session LevelsLightning Session Levels (LSL) draws clean, non-repainting levels for the major market sessions and a compact HUD in the top-right corner. It’s built to be lightweight, readable, and “set-and-forget” for intraday traders.
What it shows
Session High/Low and Open/Close levels for:
ASIA (00:00–08:00 UTC)
EUROPE (07:00–16:00 UTC)
US (13:30–20:00 UTC)
OVERNIGHT (20:00–24:00 UTC)
HUD panel:
Current active session
Countdown to the next US session (auto-calculated from UTC)
How it works (non-repainting)
Levels are anchored at session close. Each line is created once on the confirmed closing bar of the session (x2 = session end).
Optional Extend Right keeps the level projecting forward without changing the anchor (no “drifting”).
All drawings are pinned to the right price scale for stable reading.
Inputs
Show HUD — toggle the top-right panel.
Show Levels — master switch for drawing levels.
Draw High/Low — H/L session levels.
Draw Open/Close — O/C session levels.
Extend Right — extend all session lines to the future.
Keep N past sessions per market — FIFO limit per session group (default 12).
ASIA / EUROPE / US / OVERNIGHT — enable/disable specific sessions.
Style & palette
Consistent “Lightning” colors:
ASIA = Cyan, EUROPE = Violet, US = Amber, OVERNIGHT = Teal
Labels are always size: Normal for readability.
HUD uses a dark, subtle two-tone background to stay out of the way.
Recommended use
Timeframes: intraday (1m → 4h).
On 1D and higher, TradingView’s session-window time() filters won’t match intraday windows, so levels won’t plot (by design).
Markets: crypto, indices, FX, equities — any symbol where intraday session context helps.
Notes & limitations
Fixed UTC windows. The US window is set to 13:30–20:00 UTC. Daylight-saving shifts (DST) are not auto-adjusted; if you need region-specific DST behavior, treat this as a consistent UTC model.
The HUD timer counts down to the next US open from the current UTC clock.
Draw limits are capped (500 lines, 500 labels) for performance and stability.
Quick start
Add Lightning Session Levels to your chart.
Toggle Draw High/Low and/or Draw Open/Close.
Turn on Extend Right if you want the levels to project forward.
Enable only the sessions you care about (e.g., just EUROPE and US).
Use Keep N past sessions to control clutter (e.g., 6–12).
Disclaimer
This tool is for educational/informational purposes only and is not financial advice. Past session behavior does not guarantee future results. Always manage risk.

cd_sfp_CxGeneral:
This indicator is designed to assist users who trade the Swing Failure Pattern ( SFP ).
In technical literature (various definitions exist), an SFP is a situation where the price violates a previous swing level but fails to close beyond that level.
• (Liquidity Sweep)
• (Buyer or seller dominance)
• (Stop hunt)
• (Turtle Soup)
The general strategy is built upon seeking trade opportunities after an SFP is formed and conviction is established that the market direction has changed.
Components used to gather confirmation:
• Determining Bias: Periodic SAR
• Obtaining Breakout/Reversal Confirmation: Change in State Delivery (CISD)
• Defining the Buyer/Seller Block (Supply/Demand Zones): Mitg Blocks (Mitigation Blocks), FVG (Fair Value Gaps), and Standard Deviation Projection
• Key Levels: Previous HTF (Higher Time Frame) levels
• Setting Targets: Standard Deviation Projection
• Trade Management: Anchored VWAP and opposing blocks
• Time-Based Context: Session Killzone times
• Notifications: An alarm/alert system will be utilized to stay informed.
________________________________________
Details:
Swing and Swing Failure Pattern:
Swing Sweep Types (Liquidity Sweep):
1. Single
2. Consecutive (The liquidity of the entity that swept the liquidity is being swept)
Bias Determination
We need to filter out the numerous SFPs that occur across all time frames. Our first strong filter will be the Bias. We will only look for trades aligned with our bias.
We will use Periodic SAR (Stop and Reverse) to determine the bias. We compare the price with the SAR value from a Higher Time Frame than the one we are trading on.
• Price > SAR => Bullish Bias
• Price < SAR => Bearish Bias
Depending on the pair, H1 SAR may be chosen for scalp trades, and Daily/Weekly SAR for intraday and swing trades.
Key Levels
Strategies looking for trades after a liquidity grab generally state that the sweep / stop hunt movement should occur at a significant price level.
The most fundamental Key Level levels are (User can customize):
• Previous Week High & Low
• Previous Day High & Low
• Previous H4 High & Low
• Previous H1 High & Low
• Asia Killzone High & Low
• London Killzone High & Low
• New York Killzone High & Low
• Monday Range High & Low values
We will prefer SFP formations that occur when these levels are swept. When Key Levels are violated, an information label appears on the screen.
Blocks / Zones
To strengthen our hand, we will use three types of blocks/zones, either with Key Levels or separately. When an SFP structure is formed in these areas (along with bias and breakout confirmation), our expectation is for the price to continue in our desired direction. These regions are:
1. Mitigation Blocks (Mtg)
o (Details can be found in the cd_VWAP_mtg_Cx indicator)
o In short: A second candle, following a bullish candle, crosses its high but fails to close above it. We call this a sweep / SFP. When the price, which was expected to go to the low, instead makes a new high/close, an Mtg block is formed. (Buyers are dominant)
2. FVGs (Fair Value Gaps)
o We use classic FVG structures.
3. Standard Deviation Projection Boxes
o When we get an SFP structure + breakout confirmation (CISD), we use the Standard Deviation Projection to determine our profit-taking and take-profit levels.
o Based on the idea that the price often respects the range between -2 and -2.5 of the projection values, we box this range and use it as our area of interest. (Our expectation is for the price to reverse after reaching this target).
o Let's mark it on the chart.
Confirmation
To summarize what has been explained so far: we look for the price to form an SFP structure in levels/zones we deem important, aligned with our bias, and for the breakout to be confirmed with a CISD.
No single component is strong on its own, but the success rate increases when they occur together.
We observe the following as additional confirmation along with the CISD: a new Mtg block forming in the direction of the breakout, high-volume movement (with FVG and a large body), and respect for VWAPs, the resistance/support line, and the defense block.
Additional Confirmations with Breakouts:
• Defence block, new mtg and VWAP
• Resistance / Support Line:
Indicator Signals
The indicator marks all formed sweeps, selected key levels, blocks, the projection, and CISD confirmations on the screen. The candle where the CISD confirmation occurs is indicated by an arrow.
• Arrows with double short lines signify a CISD that follows an SFP occurring at a Key Level.
• All other CISD candle indications are shown with single-line arrows.
Trade Management
When selecting profit targets in trades (preferably), the projection, opposing blocks, and structures that have formed are taken into account. Do not neglect to look at the structures that have formed against you when entering a trade.
Menu Settings:
• For Mtg blocks, the trading timeframe or a higher timeframe can be selected.
• FVGs formed in the current timeframe are displayed when the price creates an SFP (in "Fvg" option).
• Deviation boxes are displayed when the price creates an SFP (in box).
• The SAR HTF setting (H1) for scalp trades may vary depending on the pair. Users trying trades on higher timeframes should increase the HTF setting.
o Example: If you are looking for a trade with an SFP structure on H1, the SAR HTF setting should be H4 or higher.
• VWAP lines are refreshed starting from the candle that executed the sweep when the price forms an SFP. The only setting to adjust is the source selection setting (hlc3 is selected).
• Time frames and Killzone / Special Zone settings for Key Levels can be changed/should be checked.
Alarms / Alerts:
The conditions that will trigger an alert can be selected from the menu.
• To receive an alert aligned with the bias, the "Alignment with bias" checkbox must be selected.
• The alert should be set on the timeframe where you plan to enter the trade.
• The display options do not affect the alarm conditions. (Example: FVGs are monitored even when the menu selection is "off").
• If the necessary conditions are met, the alarm is triggered on the new candle that opens after the CISD confirmation.
• The alarm will not be triggered more than once at the same Key Level.
The user can preferably select alerts:
• Bias-aligned or Bias-independent
• Sweep (without waiting for CISD)
• Sweep + CISD (without looking for other conditions)
• Sweep + Key Level + CISD (the swept level is a Key Level)
• Sweep + Mtg / Fvg / Dev. + CISD (SFP formed in any of the blocks)
• Sweep + Mtg + CISD (SFP formed in the Mtg block)
• Sweep + Fvg + CISD (SFP formed inside the FVG)
• Sweep + Deviation Box + CISD (SFP formed inside the Dev. Box)
• Sweep + Key Level + Mtg / Fvg / Dev. + CISD (SFP formed simultaneously at a Key Level and any of the blocks)
Trade Example:
• Conditions: Bias-aligned + Sweep + Mtg/Fvg/Dev (at least one) + CISD
• Extra Confirmations: Respect for the Defense Block + Respect for VWAP
• Target (TP): Projection between -2 and -2.5
I welcome your thoughts and suggestions regarding my indicator, which I believe will be successful in the long run by adhering to uncompromising risk management and a strict trading plan.
Happy Trading!
