Robby DSS Bressert Colored DotsIntroduction
The Robby DSS Bressert Colored Dots is a technical analysis tool designed to measure momentum and identify potential overbought or oversold conditions in a market. It is a visually enhanced version of the Double Smoothed Stochastic (DSS) indicator, which was developed to be a smoother and more responsive version of the traditional Stochastic Oscillator.
This specific version provides at-a-glance information about momentum shifts through the use of colored dots, making it easy to interpret.
The Core Engine: DSS Bressert
The foundation of this indicator is the Double Smoothed Stochastic, a concept attributed to both William Blau and Walter Bressert, who introduced similar ideas. The goal of the DSS is to filter out the "noise" and false signals common in standard oscillators without introducing significant lag.
It achieves this through a two-step smoothing process:
First Smoothing: A standard Stochastic value is calculated based on the price. This value is then smoothed using an Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This creates a cleaner, less erratic line than the raw stochastic.
Second Smoothing: The indicator then takes this newly smoothed line and performs a second Stochastic calculation on it. This result is then smoothed one final time with another EMA.
This double-application of smoothing results in a very clean oscillator line that reacts quickly to price changes but is less prone to whipsaws.
The Visual Modification: "Robby" Colored Dots
The "Robby DSS Bressert Colored Dots" version takes the powerful DSS calculation and adds a unique visual layer for easier interpretation.
Colored Dots: Instead of plotting a continuous line, the indicator displays a dot for each candle. The color of this dot instantly tells you about the indicator's momentum:
Lime/Green dots appear when the DSS value is rising, indicating bullish or positive momentum.
Red dots appear when the DSS value is falling, indicating bearish or negative momentum.
If the value is unchanged, the dot retains the color of the previous one.
The "Robby" Name: In trading communities like Forex Factory and MQL5, it's common for programmers to modify popular indicators. These enhanced versions are often named after the member who created or popularized them. The "Robby" version specifically refers to this popular colored-dot modification of the DSS Bressert.
How to Interpret and Use It
Traders typically use the Robby DSS Bressert Colored Dots in a few key ways:
Momentum Shifts: The most straightforward signal is the change of dot color. A switch from red to lime can signal that downside momentum is waning and a potential move up is beginning. A switch from lime to red signals the opposite.
Overbought & Oversold Conditions: Like a standard stochastic, the indicator uses levels (typically 80 and 20).
When the dots are above 80, the market is considered overbought. A color change from lime to red in this zone can be a strong signal for a potential reversal down.
When the dots are below 20, the market is considered oversold. A color change from red to lime here can signal a potential reversal up.
Trend Confirmation: In a strong uptrend, traders might ignore red dots and use the appearance of lime dots in the oversold zone (or after a minor pullback) as a signal to join the trend. The opposite is true in a downtrend.

Rolling VWAP Channel [LuxAlgo]The Rolling VWAP Channel indicator creates a channel by analyzing a large number of Volume Weighted Average Prices (VWAPs) and determining a Channel based on percentile linear interpolation throughout the VWAPs.
🔶 USAGE
In this indicator, we have formed a Channel by first calculating multiple VWAPs, each with their respective anchor, then locating prices using "Percentile Linear Interpolation".
Note: Percentile Linear Interpolation locates the price point at which a specified percentage of VWAPs fall below it.
For example, a percentile of 50% would mean that 50% of the VWAP values fall below this price.
This method of analysis is important since the VWAPs are not often evenly distributed; therefore, we are able to draw importance to different levels by analyzing in percentiles.
When visualized, there is typically clustering of the VWAP values, which occurs at any given time, as seen below.
The channel can be tailored to each individual, with full control of each percentile represented in the channel. That being said, a general concept is that these clustered areas are clear results of sideways price action, which would lead us to believe that after interactions at these levels, we should expect to see a directional decision made by the market closely after.
🔶 DETAILS
The Rolling VWAP calculation calculates a user-specified number of VWAPs (up to 500), each anchored to a unique starting point in the chart based on the start of a new timeframe.
Each new timeframe that occurs causes a new VWAP to initialize. When the total number of desired VWAPs is reached, the oldest VWAP is removed and re-initialized, anchored to the current bar. Hence, the name " Rolling " VWAPs
This method allows us to automatically generate and manage large amounts of VWAPs without the need for user interaction.
After we have generated these VWAPs, we are able to run analyses on their returned values, such as the "Percentile Linear Interpolation" mentioned in the section above.
🔶 SETTINGS
Anchor Period: Choose which time period to use as the anchor point to initialize new VWAPs from.
VWAP Source: Choose the source for your VWAPs to calculate.
VWAP Amount: Sets the number of VWAPs to use. After this amount is on the chart, the oldest will be rolled.
🔹 Channel Lines
Toggle: Enable the associated VWAP Channel percentile line.
Percentile: Adjust each line's percentile independently for your needs.
Width: Adjust the width of the associated percentile line.
🔹 Calculation
Calculated Bars: Tells the indicator how many bars to calculate on, for faster calculations with less history, use a lower value. Setting this to 0 will remove the bar constraint.
EMA 50/200 Pullback + RSI/SMA RSI
Strategy Description: EMA 50/200 Pullback + RSI/SMA RSI
1. Trend Identification with EMA:
Uses two Exponential Moving Averages (EMA): a fast EMA (default 50) and a slow EMA (default 200).
When the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA (bullish crossover), an uptrend is identified.
When the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA (bearish crossover), a downtrend is identified.
The lengths of both EMAs are fully customizable.
2. EMA Distance Condition:
Signals are only valid when the absolute percentage distance between the two EMAs is within a user-defined range (default: 0.4% to 1%).
This helps filter out weak signals when the EMAs are too close or too far apart.
3. Pullback Condition:
After a new trend is detected (EMA crossover), the strategy waits for the price to pull back to touch or cross the fast EMA (EMA 50).
This ensures entries are not taken immediately at the crossover, but after a retracement to a dynamic support/resistance area.
4. RSI Confirmation:
Uses the RSI indicator (default 14) and its Simple Moving Average (SMA RSI, default 14).
Buy signal: RSI crosses above its SMA.
Sell signal: RSI crosses below its SMA.
Both RSI and SMA RSI lengths are fully customizable.
5. Entry Rules:
The indicator only gives the first buy/sell signal after each EMA crossover (start of a new trend), and will not repeat signals until the next EMA crossover.
Buy signal:
Fast EMA crosses above slow EMA
EMA distance is within the valid range
Price pulls back to the fast EMA
RSI crosses above its SMA
Sell signal:
Fast EMA crosses below slow EMA
EMA distance is within the valid range
Price pulls back to the fast EMA
RSI crosses below its SMA
6. Customization:
All parameters (EMA lengths, RSI length, SMA RSI length, EMA distance range) can be adjusted in the indicator’s settings.
Note:
This is a signal indicator, not a complete trading strategy. For real trading, always combine with risk management and additional confirmations.
Third Candle MarkerTitel: Third Candle Marker – Highlights Trend Continuation
Beschreibung:
This script highlights potential trend continuation setups by marking the third candle after two consecutive candles of the same direction.
If the previous two candles were bullish (green), the third candle is colored green.
If the previous two candles were bearish (red), the third candle is colored red.
A white color indicates that no clear trend was detected in the previous two candles.
Additionally, the script plots small triangle markers:
Green upward triangle below the bar if the last two candles were bullish.
Red downward triangle above the bar if the last two candles were bearish.
Use this tool to visually identify potential continuation signals in trending markets. Suitable for all timeframes.
Note: This script does not generate buy/sell signals; it is meant to assist in visual trend recognition.
Golden Crossover Momentum Check📊 Golden Cross Momentum Screener — Summary
🔍 What It Does
This indicator identifies Golden Cross events — where the 50 EMA crosses above the 200 EMA, signaling a potential long-term trend reversal — and evaluates the momentum strength to help determine whether price is likely to:
Surge immediately (Group B), or
Retrace first (Group A)
It uses 5 momentum-confirming conditions to score the quality of the breakout and display a single label on the chart with a classification.
✅ Momentum Conditions Validated
RSI > 60 and rising – Indicates bullish buying pressure
MACD Histogram > 0 and rising – Confirms increasing momentum
Volume > 2× 20-day average – Validates participation on the breakout
ADX > 25 – Measures trend strength
Price is >5% above 200 EMA – Confirms price extension above long-term trend
Each passing condition adds 1 point to the momentum score (0–5).
📈 How to Use
Watch for a Golden Cross signal (triangle appears below candle)
If momentum score ≥ 4, the script labels the setup as:
"🚀 Surge Likely (Group B)" — consider immediate breakout entries
If score is 2–3, labeled:
"🔄 Pullback Likely (Group A)" — expect retest/consolidation before continuation
If score < 2, labeled:
"❌ No Momentum Confirmed" — avoid or wait for confirmation
Auto Trendlines (Finviz Style)Oculus Auto Trendlines
Version 1.0 | Pine Script v6
Overview
Oculus Auto Trendlines automatically identifies and plots the most significant support and resistance trendlines by connecting the two most recent swing highs (resistance) and swing lows (support) over a user-defined pivot lookback. Each line extends dynamically to the right, recalculates in real time, and self-invalidates when price decisively breaks beyond it by a configurable tolerance.
Key Features
Automatic Pivot Detection
Uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow over your chosen bar span to pinpoint significant market turning points.
Dynamic Trendline Drawing
Connects the last two valid pivots to form support and resistance lines that update and extend to the right each bar.
Break-Triggered Refresh
When price closes beyond a drawn trendline by more than the break tolerance, that line is removed and a new one is drawn from the next valid pivots.
Configurable Sensitivity
Pivot Lookback: Number of bars on each side to define swings.
Break Tolerance: Percentage buffer to prevent false invalidations on minor wicks.
Clean Overlay
Minimal code and plotting ensures your chart remains uncluttered—only one support and one resistance line are visible at any time.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Apply “Oculus Auto Trendlines” to any symbol and timeframe.
Set Inputs:
Pivot Lookback: Larger values produce smoother, longer-term lines; smaller values react faster to recent price.
Break Tolerance (%): Adjust to allow for minor wicks or noise without resetting lines.
Read Trendlines:
The red resistance line connects the two most recent swing highs.
The green support line connects the two most recent swing lows.
Lines automatically redraw when invalidated by a clean break beyond tolerance.
Combine with Other Analysis: Use these auto-drawn trendlines alongside indicators like moving averages, volume, or price patterns for stronger confluence.
Inputs
Pivot Lookback: 10 (bars each side)
Break Tolerance (%): 0.2%

Real-Time Spring DetectorThis is a Pine Script for Trading View that creates a "Real-Time Spring Detector" indicator. This Pine Script is essentially a sophisticated pattern recognition tool that helps identify "spring" setups - a popular trading pattern where price briefly breaks below support but then bounces back strongly, often indicating that sellers are exhausted and buyers are ready to step in.What is a "Spring" in Trading?
A spring is a technical analysis pattern that occurs when:
Price breaks below a support level (like breaking below a floor)
But then quickly bounces back up (like a spring rebounds)
This often signals that sellers are weak and buyers are stepping in
Think of it like testing the strength of a trampoline - you push down, but it springs back up stronger.
What This Script Does
This Pine Script automatically detects spring patterns on your chart and alerts you when they happen. Here's how it works:
Main Components
1. Input Parameters (Settings You Can Adjust)
Lookback Period (10): How many bars back to look for patterns
Min Support Touches (2): How many times price must touch the support level
Min Penetration % (0.1%): How far below support price must break
Min Rejection % (30%): How much price must bounce back up
Alert Settings: Choose when to get notifications
2. Support Level Detection
The script finds "support levels" - price levels where buyers have stepped in before:
It looks at recent low points
Identifies areas where price has bounced multiple times
Uses a small tolerance (0.5%) to account for minor price differences
3. Spring Detection Logic
The script identifies three types of springs:
Real-Time Spring (happening right now):
Price breaks below support by the minimum amount
Price bounces back strongly (rejection %)
Current candle closes higher than it opened (bullish)
Volume is reasonable
Confirmed Spring (already completed):
Same as real-time, but the candle has finished forming
Potential Spring (early warning):
Price is near support but hasn't fully formed the pattern yet
4. Visual Elements
Markers on Chart:
🟢 Green Triangle: Confirmed spring (reliable signal)
🟡 Yellow Triangle: Spring forming right now (live signal)
🟠 Orange Circle: Potential spring (early warning)
Labels:
Show "SPRING" with the rejection percentage
"FORMING" for developing patterns
"?" for potential springs
Support Line:
Red dotted line showing the support level
Background Colors:
Light red when price penetrates support
Light yellow for potential springs
5. Information Box
A table in the top-left corner shows:
Current support level price
Whether penetration is happening
Rejection percentage
Current pattern status
Live price
6. Alert System
Two types of alerts:
Real-time alerts: Notify when spring is forming (current bar)
Confirmed alerts: Notify when spring is complete (bar closed)
Alert cooldown: Prevents spam by waiting 5 bars between alerts
How to Use This Script
1. Installation
Copy the script code
Open TradingView
Go to Pine Editor
Paste the code
Click "Add to Chart"
2. Settings
Adjust the input parameters based on your trading style:
Lower lookback = more sensitive, faster signals
Higher support touches = more reliable but fewer signals
Lower penetration % = catches smaller springs
Higher rejection % = only strong bounces
3. Interpretation
Green triangles: High-confidence buy signals
Yellow triangles: Watch closely, pattern developing
Orange circles: Early warning, not tradeable yet
4. Best Practices
Use on higher timeframes (15min+) for more reliable signals
Combine with other indicators for confirmation
Pay attention to volume - higher volume springs are more reliable
Wait for confirmed signals if you're a conservative trader
Key Features for Small Timeframes
The script includes special detection for shorter timeframes:
Quick bounce detection: Identifies rapid reversals
Hammer pattern recognition: Spots candlestick patterns
Relaxed volume requirements: Works when volume data is limited
Advanced Features
Volume Analysis
Compares current volume to 10-bar average
Requires at least 80% of average volume (flexible for small timeframes)
Pattern Enhancement
Looks for hammer-like candles (long lower wick, small upper wick)
Identifies quick bounces where the upper wick is small
Multiple Confirmation
Combines multiple criteria to reduce false signals
Stronger springs get priority for alerts
Common Use Cases
Entry Signals: Buy when confirmed springs appear
Support Level Identification: Visual support lines help identify key levels
Risk Management: Failed springs (continued breakdown) can be stop-loss triggers
Market Structure: Understanding where buyers are defending price levels
Limitations
Works best in trending or ranging markets May produce false signals in very choppy conditions
small timeframe signals can be noisy should be combined with other analysis methods.The key advantage is that it can catch these patterns as they happen, rather than you having to constantly watch charts. This is especially valuable for active traders who want to capitalize on quick reversals at support levels.
Candlestick Body and Wick Midpoints [Dire]Summary
This indicator provides a deeper look into intra-bar price action by plotting the precise halfway point of each candlestick's body, top wick, and bottom wick. It renders three distinct, color-coded horizontal lines on each of the most recent candles, helping traders identify hidden micro-levels of interest.
How It Works
For each candlestick, the indicator calculates and plots:
Top Wick Midpoint: The median price of the sell-off (or profit-taking) range.
Body Midpoint: The equilibrium or "fair price" point between the open and close.
Bottom Wick Midpoint: The median price of the buy-up (or support) range.
How to Use
These levels can serve as micro-pivots or points of interest for price action analysis. A return to a previous wick's midpoint may signal a potential reaction. Observing how these levels align over several bars can reveal subtle areas of price consensus or rejection that are not obvious from standard candle charts.
Customization
Lookback Period: Easily adjust the number of recent candles to analyze via the "Inputs" tab.
Colors: The color for each of the three lines (Top Wick, Body, and Bottom Wick) can be fully customized in the "Style" tab of the indicator settings.

Intra_Candle_Welding by Chaitu50cIntra Candle Welding by Chaitu50c
This is a professional price action–based indicator designed to automatically detect and visualize *intra-candle reversal zones* using simple yet powerful logic. It highlights price levels where two consecutive opposite candles meet with a high probability of short-term market reaction.
Concept
The indicator identifies potential intraday support and resistance levels based on the "Intra Candle Welding" concept: when the close of one candle is very close to the open of the next candle, and the two candles have opposite directions (bullish followed by bearish, or bearish followed by bullish). These levels often attract market attention due to order flow imbalance created during such transitions.
How It Works
1. The indicator continuously monitors each new candle and checks if the current open is approximately equal to the previous close, within a configurable buffer.
2. It further ensures that the two candles form an opposite pair (green→red or red→green).
3. When a valid pair is detected, the indicator checks for existing active lines near this level. If no active line exists within the defined tolerance, it draws a new horizontal line at the detected level.
4. Each line is classified as either a potential resistance (from green→red pair) or support (from red→green pair).
5. Lines automatically extend rightward and update with each bar. If price breaks through the line beyond a configurable break buffer, the line stops extending and is visually marked as "broken."
6. The indicator intelligently manages the maximum number of lines on the chart by deleting the oldest ones when the limit is exceeded.
Use Case
Traders can use this tool to identify short-term reaction zones and potential intraday turning points. The highlighted levels act as temporary support and resistance areas where price frequently reacts. It is especially useful in fast-moving or volatile markets such as index futures or liquid stocks.
Features
* Automatically detects intra-candle reversal zones.
* Classifies zones as support (bottom) or resistance (top).
* Automatically updates and breaks lines when invalidated by price action.
* Adjustable parameters for flexibility:
* Equality Buffer
* Max Lines to Keep
* Line Suppression Tolerance
* Initial Extend Bars
* Break Buffer
* Line colors, widths, and styles (active and broken states)
* Efficient memory handling with capped line count.
* Minimalist and clean visual representation, suitable for overlay on any chart.
Recommended Settings
* Works best on intraday timeframes (1 min to 15 min).
* Tune the Equality Buffer and Tolerance parameters based on instrument volatility.
* Use conservative Break Buffer to avoid premature line invalidation.
Disclaimer
This is a tool to support discretionary trading decisions. It is not a standalone buy/sell signal generator. Users are advised to combine it with their own market context and risk management framework.

Approximate Entropy Zones [PhenLabs]Version: PineScript™ v6
Description
This indicator identifies periods of market complexity and randomness by calculating the Approximate Entropy (ApEn) of price action. As the movement of the market becomes complex, it means the current trend is losing steam and a reversal or consolidation is likely near. The indicator plots high-entropy periods as zones on your chart, providing a graphical suggestion to anticipate a potential market direction change. This indicator is designed to help traders identify favorable times to get in or out of a trade by highlighting when the market is in a state of disarray.
Points of Innovation
Advanced Complexity Analysis: Instead of relying on traditional momentum or trend indicators, this tool uses Approximate Entropy to quantify the unpredictability of price movements.
Dynamic Zone Creation: It automatically plots zones on the chart during periods of high entropy, providing a clear and intuitive visual guide.
Customizable Sensitivity: Users can fine-tune the ‘Entropy Threshold’ to adjust how frequently zones appear, allowing for calibration to different assets and timeframes.
Time-Based Zone Expiration: Zones can be set to expire after a specific time, keeping the chart clean and relevant.
Built-in Zone Size Filter: Excludes zones that form on excessively large candles, filtering out noise from extreme volatility events.
On-Chart Calibration Guide: A persistent note on the chart provides simple instructions for adjusting the entropy threshold, making it easy for users to optimize the indicator’s performance.
Core Components
Approximate Entropy (ApEn) Calculation: The core of the indicator, which measures the complexity or randomness of the price data.
Zone Plotting: Creates visual boxes on the chart when the calculated ApEn value exceeds a user-defined threshold.
Dynamic Zone Management: Manages the lifecycle of the zones, from creation to expiration, ensuring the chart remains uncluttered.
Customizable Settings: A comprehensive set of inputs that allow users to control the indicator’s sensitivity, appearance, and time-based behavior.
Key Features
Identifies Potential Reversals: The high-entropy zones can signal that a trend is nearing its end, giving traders an early warning.
Works on Any Timeframe: The indicator can be applied to any chart timeframe, from minutes to days.
Customizable Appearance: Users can change the color and transparency of the zones to match their chart’s theme.
Informative Labels: Each zone can display the calculated entropy value and the direction of the candle on which it formed.
Visualization
Entropy Zones: Shaded boxes that appear on the chart, highlighting candles with high complexity.
Zone Labels: Text within each zone that displays the ApEn value and a directional arrow (e.g., “0.525 ↑”).
Calibration Note: A small table in the top-right corner of the chart with instructions for adjusting the indicator’s sensitivity.
Usage Guidelines
Entropy Analysis
Source: The price data used for the ApEn calculation. (Default: close)
Lookback Length: The number of bars used in the ApEn calculation. (Default: 20, Range: 10-50)
Embedding Dimension (m): The length of patterns to be compared; a standard value for financial data. (Default: 2)
Tolerance Multiplier (r): Adjusts the tolerance for pattern matching; a larger value makes matching more lenient. (Default: 0.2)
Entropy Threshold: The ApEn value that must be exceeded to plot a zone. Increase this if too many zones appear; decrease it if too few appear. (Default: 0.525)
Time Settings
Analysis Timeframe: How long a zone remains on the chart after it forms. (Default: 1D)
Custom Period (Bars): The zone’s lifespan in bars if “Analysis Timeframe” is set to “Custom”. (Default: 1000)
Zone Settings
Zone Fill Color: The color of the entropy zones. (Default: #21f38a with 80% transparency)
Maximum Zone Size %: Filters out zones on candles that are larger than this percentage of their low price. (Default: 0.5)
Display Options
Show Entropy Label: Toggles the visibility of the text label inside each zone. (Default: true)
Label Text Position: The horizontal alignment of the text label. (Default: Right)
Show Calibration Note: Toggles the visibility of the calibration note in the corner of the chart. (Default: true)
Best Use Cases
Trend Reversal Trading: Identifying when a strong trend is likely to reverse or pause.
Breakout Confirmation: Using the absence of high entropy to confirm the strength of a breakout.
Ranging Market Identification: Periods of high entropy can indicate that a market is transitioning into a sideways or choppy phase.
Limitations
Not a Standalone Signal: This indicator should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis to confirm trading signals.
Lagging Nature: Like all indicators based on historical data, ApEn is a lagging measure and does not predict future price movements with certainty.
Calibration Required: The effectiveness of the indicator is highly dependent on the “Entropy Threshold” setting, which needs to be adjusted for different assets and timeframes.
What Makes This Unique
Quantifies Complexity: It provides a numerical measure of market complexity, offering a different perspective than traditional indicators.
Clear Visual Cues: The zones make it easy to see when the market is in a state of high unpredictability.
User-Friendly Design: With features like the on-chart calibration note, the indicator is designed to be easy to use and optimize.
How It Works
Calculate Standard Deviation: The indicator first calculates the standard deviation of the source price data over a specified lookback period.
Calculate Phi: It then calculates a value called “phi” for two different pattern lengths (embedding dimensions ‘m’ and ‘m+1’). This involves comparing sequences of data points to see how many are “similar” within a certain tolerance (determined by the standard deviation and the ‘r’ multiplier).
Calculate ApEn: The Approximate Entropy is the difference between the two phi values. A higher ApEn value indicates greater irregularity and unpredictability in the data.
Plot Zones: If the calculated ApEn exceeds the user-defined ‘Entropy Threshold’, a zone is plotted on the chart.
Note: The “Entropy Threshold” is the most important setting to adjust. If you see too many zones, increase the threshold. If you see too few, decrease it.
StochFusion – Multi D-LineStochFusion – Multi D-Line
An advanced fusion of four Stochastic %D lines into one powerful oscillator.
What it does:
Combines four user-weighted Stochastic %D lines—from fastest (9,3) to slowest (60,10)—into a single “Fusion” line that captures both short-term and long-term momentum in one view.
How to use:
Adjust the four weights (0–10) to emphasize the speed of each %D component.
Watch the Fusion line crossing key zones:
– Above 80 → overbought condition, potential short entry.
– Below 20 → oversold condition, potential long entry.
– Around 50 → neutral/midline, watch for trend shifts.
Applications:
Entry/exit filter: Only take trades when the Fusion line confirms zone exits.
Trend confirmation: Analyze slope and cross of the midline for momentum strength.
Multi-timeframe alignment: Use on different chart resolutions to find confluence.
Tips & Tricks:
Default weights give more influence to slower %D—good for trend-focused strategies.

Quantum RSI (TechnoBlooms)The Next Evolution of Momentum Analysis
📘 Overview
Quantum RSI is an advanced momentum oscillator based on Quantum Price Theory, designed as a superior alternative to the traditional RSI. It incorporates a Gaussian decay function to weigh price changes, creating a more responsive and intuitive measure of trend strength.
This indicator excels in identifying micro-trends and subtle momentum shifts — especially in narrow or low-volatility environments where standard RSI typically lags or gives false signals. With its enhanced smoothing, intuitive color gradients, and customizable moving average, Quantum RSI offers a powerful tool for traders seeking clarity and precision.
🔍 Key Features
• ⚛️ Quantum Momentum Engine: Measures net momentum using quantum-inspired Gaussian decay weighting.
• 🎨 Color-Reversed Gradient Zones:
o Green (Overbought): Shows momentum strength, not weakness.
o Red (Oversold): Highlights momentum exhaustion and potential bounce.
• 🧠 Smoothing with MA: Option to apply moving average (SMA/EMA/WMA/SMMA/VWMA) to the Quantum RSI line.
• 📊 Levels at 30 / 50 / 70: Standard RSI levels for decision-making guidance.
• 📈 Intuitive Visuals: Gradient fills for cleaner interpretation of zones and transitions.
👤 Who Is It For?
• Technical traders seeking a modern alternative to RSI.
• Quantitative analysts who value precision and smooth signal flow.
• Visual traders looking for intuitive, color-coded trend zones.
• Traders focused on market microstructure and early trend detection.
💡 Pro Tips
• Pair with order blocks, market structure tools, or Fibonacci confluences for high-probability entries.
• Use on assets with frequent compression or consolidation, where traditional RSI often misleads.
• Combine with volume-based indicators or smart money concepts for added confirmation.
• Ideal for sideways markets, false breakouts, or low-volatility zones where typical RSI lags.
Open Interest-RSI + Funding + Fractal DivergencesIndicator — “Open Interest-RSI + Funding + Fractal Divergences”
A multi-factor oscillator that fuses Open-Interest RSI, real-time Funding-Rate data and price/OI fractal divergences.
It paints BUY/SELL arrows in its own pane and directly on the price chart, helping you spot spots where crowd positioning, leverage costs and price action contradict each other.
1 Purpose
OI-RSI – measures conviction behind position changes instead of price momentum.
Funding Rate – shows who pays to hold positions (longs → bull bias, shorts → bear bias).
Fractal Divergences – detects HH/LL in price that are not confirmed by OI-RSI.
Optional Funding filter – hides signals when funding is already extreme.
Together these elements highlight exhaustion points and potential mean-reversion trades.
2 Inputs
RSI / Divergence
RSI length – default 14.
High-OI level / Low-OI level – default 70 / 30.
Fractal period n – default 2 (swing width).
Fractals to compare – how many past swings to scan, default 3.
Max visible arrows – keeps last 50 BUY/SELL arrows for speed.
Funding Rate
mode – choose FR, Avg Premium, Premium Index, Avg Prem + PI or FR-candle.
Visual scale (×) – multiplies raw funding to fit 0-100 oscillator scale (default 10).
specify symbol – enable only if funding symbol differs from chart.
use lower tf – averages 1-min premiums for smoother intraday view.
show table – tiny two-row widget at chart edge.
Signal Filter
Use Funding filter – ON hides long signals when funding > Buy-threshold and short signals when funding < Sell-threshold.
BUY threshold (%) – default 0.00 (raw %).
SELL threshold (%) – default 0.00 (raw %).
(Enter funding thresholds as raw percentages, e.g. 0.01 = +0.01 %).
3 Visual Outputs
Sub-pane
Aqua OI-RSI curve with 70 / 50 / 30 reference lines.
Funding visualised according to selected mode (green above 0, red below 0, or other).
BUY / SELL arrows at oscillator extremes.
Price chart
Identical BUY / SELL arrows plotted with force_overlay = true above/below candles that formed qualifying fractals.
Optional table
Shows current asset ticker and latest funding value of the chosen mode.
4 Signal Logic (Summary)
Load _OI series and compute RSI.
Retrieve Funding-Rate + Premium Index (optionally from lower TF).
Find fractal swings (n bars left & right).
Check divergence:
Bearish – price HH + OI-RSI LH.
Bullish – price LL + OI-RSI HL.
If Funding-filter enabled, require funding < Buy-thr (long) or > Sell-thr (short).
Plot arrows and trigger two built-in alerts (Bearish OI-RSI divergence, Bullish OI-RSI divergence).
Signals are fixed once the fractal bar closes; they do not repaint afterwards.
5 How to Use
Attach to a liquid perpetual-futures chart (BTC, ETH, major Binance contracts).
If _OI or funding series is missing you’ll see an error.
Choose timeframe:
15 m – 4 h for intraday;
1 D+ for swing trades.
Lower TFs → more signals; raise Fractals to compare or use Funding filter to trim noise.
Trade checklist
Funding positive and rising → longs overcrowded.
Price makes higher high; OI-RSI makes lower high; Funding above Sell-threshold → consider short.
Reverse logic for longs.
Combine with trend filter (EMA ribbon, SuperTrend, etc.) so you fade only when price is stretched.
Automation – set TradingView alerts on the two alertconditions and send to webhooks/bots.
Performance tips
Keep Max visible arrows ≤ 50.
Disable lower-TF premium aggregation if script feels heavy.
6 Limitations
Some symbols lack _OI or funding history → script stops with a console message.
Binance Premium Index begins mid-2020; older dates show na.
Divergences confirm only after n bars (no forward repaint).

Zig-zag Sewing MachineIndicator Description: "Zig-zag Sewing Machine" 🧵
This indicator was created in honor of tailors and seamstresses, inspired by the zig-zag sewing machine. Just like the sewing machine needle stitches fabric back and forth, our “Zig-zag Sewing Machine” indicator visually stitches the chart by connecting the highs and lows of candles with lines that go up and down, forming a zig-zag pattern that makes it easier to see price pivots.
How it works:
The indicator identifies high and low pivots in the price, connecting them with colored lines — blue for upward trends and orange for downward trends — as if sewing points one by one, revealing the market’s up and down movements.
How to use:
The main parameter is the "Zigzag Length", which determines the sensitivity of the pivots.
When set to smaller values (for example, 1), the indicator is less sensitive, ideal for daily, weekly, and monthly charts, which are longer and slower timeframes. In this case, it filters noise better and shows more consistent moves.
On intraday charts, such as hourly, the recommended default value is 5, which captures pivots adequately for faster movements. Depending on the asset — especially cryptocurrencies, which have varied behaviors — this number can be adjusted up or down.
Remember: the smaller the number, the faster and more sensitive the indicator is, capturing smaller and more frequent oscillations; the larger the number, the slower and more filtered it is, suitable for broader and more stable movements.
Tips for use:
Use the indicator to identify reversal points and trend confirmations by observing how the zig-zag lines “sew” the chart.
Combine with other indicators to increase the reliability of entries and exits.
Adjust the length parameter according to the volatility and timeframe of the asset you trade.

Price Imbalance Flow Tracker (PIFT)Price Imbalance Flow Tracker (PIFT)
PIFT is a visual volatility and structure indicator that maps market imbalance zones using dynamic envelope logic. It plots three sets of envelope bands derived from different moving averages — short, medium, and long — with volatility-based offsets scaled by ATR. These envelopes adapt in real time to reflect momentum expansion, compression, and directional pressure.
- The system highlights only the dominant envelope layer at any given moment (short cancels medium/long, medium cancels long) to reduce clutter and help you focus on the most reactive structure.
- There’s also a central yellow zone representing the core trend channel — a tighter band derived from the short MA, helping you track price containment and breakout zones.
- The green and red fills show where price is expanding beyond core levels, acting as pressure zones. These fills compress during consolidations and widen during impulse moves, giving you a clean read on momentum shifts.
You can toggle:
- Full grid view (all envelopes)
- Core channel only
- Price tracks (moving averages)
- Dynamic pressure zones
Use PIFT to:
- Identify clean trend continuation inside the yellow zone
- Spot momentum exhaustion when price rides the outer bands
- Filter false moves when fills contract but price keeps drifting
- See structure shifts before standard indicators like Bollinger Bands react
This isn’t just another moving average overlay. It’s a dynamic envelope hierarchy built for traders who want to read price flow — not just lagging trend direction.

TitanGrid L/S SuperEngineTitanGrid L/S SuperEngine
Experimental Trend-Aligned Grid Signal Engine for Long & Short Execution
🔹 Overview
TitanGrid is an advanced, real-time signal engine built around a tactical grid structure.
It manages Long and Short trades using trend-aligned entries, layered scaling, and partial exits.
Unlike traditional strategy() -based scripts, TitanGrid runs as an indicator() , but includes its own full internal simulation engine.
This allows it to track capital, equity, PnL, risk exposure, and trade performance bar-by-bar — effectively simulating a custom backtest, while remaining compatible with real-time alert-based execution systems.
The concept was born from the fusion of two prior systems:
Assassin’s Grid (grid-based execution and structure) + Super 8 (trend-filtering, smart capital logic), both developed under the AssassinsGrid framework.
🔹 Disclaimer
This is an experimental tool intended for research, testing, and educational use.
It does not provide guaranteed outcomes and should not be interpreted as financial advice.
Use with demo or simulated accounts before considering live deployment.
🔹 Execution Logic
Trend direction is filtered through a custom SuperTrend engine. Once confirmed:
• Long entries trigger on pullbacks, exiting progressively as price moves up
• Short entries trigger on rallies, exiting as price declines
Grid levels are spaced by configurable percentage width, and entries scale dynamically.
🔹 Stop Loss Mechanism
TitanGrid uses a dual-layer stop system:
• A static stop per entry, placed at a fixed percentage distance matching the grid width
• A trend reversal exit that closes the entire position if price crosses the SuperTrend in the opposite direction
Stops are triggered once per cycle, ensuring predictable and capital-aware behavior.
🔹 Key Features
• Dual-side grid logic (Long-only, Short-only, or Both)
• SuperTrend filtering to enforce directional bias
• Adjustable grid spacing, scaling, and sizing
• Static and dynamic stop-loss logic
• Partial exits and reset conditions
• Webhook-ready alerts (browser-based automation compatible)
• Internal simulation of equity, PnL, fees, and liquidation levels
• Real-time dashboard for full transparency
🔹 Best Use Cases
TitanGrid performs best in structured or mean-reverting environments.
It is especially well-suited to assets with the behavioral profile of ETH — reactive, trend-intraday, and prone to clean pullback formations.
While adaptable to multiple timeframes, it shows strongest performance on the 15-minute chart , offering a balance of signal frequency and directional clarity.

🔹 Note on Performance Simulation
TitanGrid includes internal accounting of fees, slippage, and funding costs.
While its logic is designed for precision and capital efficiency, performance is naturally affected by exchange commissions.
In frictionless environments (e.g., zero-fee simulation), its high-frequency logic could — in theory — extract substantial micro-edges from the market.
However, real-world conditions introduce limits, and all results should be interpreted accordingly.
Breakout TrendTiltFolio Breakout Trend indicator
The Breakout Trend indicator is designed to help traders clearly visualize trend direction by combining two complementary techniques: moving averages and Donchian-style breakout logic.
Rather than relying on just one type of signal, this indicator merges short-term and long-term moving averages with breakout levels based on recent highs and lows. The moving averages define the broader trend regime, while the breakout logic pinpoints moments when price confirms directional momentum. This layered approach filters out many false signals while still capturing high-conviction moves.
Yes, these are lagging indicators by design — and that’s the point. Instead of predicting every wiggle, the Breakout Trend waits for confirmation, offering higher signal quality and fewer whipsaws. When the price breaks above a recent high and sits above the long-term moving average, the trend is more likely to persist. That’s when this indicator shines.
While it performs best on higher timeframes (daily/weekly), it's also adaptable to shorter timeframes for intraday traders who value clean, systematic trend signals.
For early signal detection, we recommend pairing this with TiltFolio’s Buying/Selling Proxy, which anticipates pressure buildups—albeit with more noise.
It's easy to read and built for real-world trading discipline.
Engulfing Candles (ATR-Based) with Volume SpikeOverview:
This script is designed to detect high-probability bullish and bearish engulfing patterns — but with a twist: it filters them through ATR-based volatility and confirms strength with volume spikes, all while offering optional trend filtering. It's built for traders who want more than just surface-level candle patterns — it's for those who want contextual confirmation before entering a trade.
What Makes It Different:
Most engulfing candle indicators simply match two candle shapes. This script goes deeper by:
Measuring candle body size relative to recent volatility (via ATR).
Checking for volume confirmation using a dynamic spike threshold.
Filtering based on trend context using SMA-based structure detection.
This tri-layered logic aims to avoid false positives and give traders cleaner, more actionable entries that align with momentum.
Core Concepts:
1. Trend Detection (Optional)
You can choose between two structural filters:
SMA50 only: Looks for price above or below the 50-period SMA to define trend direction.
SMA50 + SMA200 alignment: A stricter rule requiring both fast and slow SMAs to confirm a trend.
Or turn off trend filtering entirely (No detection).
This helps ensure engulfing setups appear in line with the broader trend, increasing the likelihood of continuation.
2. ATR-Filtered Candle Bodies
To eliminate noise:
A candle is only considered a valid engulfing candle if it has a body larger than 1.5× ATR(14).
The previous candle must be a small-bodied candle (less than 0.5× ATR), creating a clear visual engulfing structure.
This method dynamically adjusts for market volatility, so setups are meaningful even during periods of compression or expansion.
3. Volume Spike Confirmation
Not all engulfing candles lead to follow-through. That’s why this script includes a volume confirmation filter:
A 20-period moving average of volume is calculated.
A spike is flagged if the current bar’s volume exceeds 1.5× this average (adjustable).
Patterns with this confirmation are marked with a “*” label (e.g., BU* or BE*) to distinguish volume-backed setups from weaker ones.
Visuals & Alerts:
BU = Bullish engulfing without volume spike
BU* = Bullish engulfing with volume spike
BE = Bearish engulfing without volume spike
BE* = Bearish engulfing with volume spike
A white background highlight is shown behind candles with volume-confirmed engulfing patterns.
Alerts are available for BU* and BE* so you can automate your edge.
How to Use:
Add the indicator to any chart.
Choose your trend filter from the settings panel.
Watch for BU* and BE* labels — these are your highest-conviction signals.
Optional: Combine with support/resistance, Fibonacci zones, or MTF confirmation to refine entries.
Use the included alerts to receive real-time push/email notifications when patterns emerge.
Performance Note:
I’ve found this script to be fairly good when applied to the 1-hour charts of the companies in the US100. The combination of ATR-based filtering and volume confirmation appears to provide clear, high-quality setups with good follow-through potential.
By blending candle patterns, volatility filtering, volume confirmation, and trend context, this script aims to filter out weak signals and highlight the most statistically significant engulfing opportunities.
EMA50 Z-Score IndicatorEMA50 Z-Score Indicator
The EMA50 Z-Score Indicator is a quantitative tool that standardizes the behavior of the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) using statistical normalization. It measures how far the current EMA50 deviates from its recent historical average in terms of standard deviations, offering a probabilistic lens into trend extension and potential reversion zones.
Purpose
Traditional moving averages provide directional trend data but lack statistical context. This indicator addresses that by applying a Z-Score transformation to the EMA50, which allows traders to assess whether the trend is overextended—either to the upside or downside—relative to its own recent history.
Methodology
The indicator calculates the Z-Score using the following formula:
Z = (EMA50 - SMA of EMA50) / Standard Deviation of EMA50
The Z-Score is computed over a user-defined lookback period (default: 100 periods), allowing it to adapt to various market conditions while preserving statistical validity.
Interpretation
Overbought Conditions: When the Z-Score exceeds a predefined positive threshold (e.g., +1.25 or +2.0), the EMA50 is statistically extended to the upside. This may indicate elevated trend momentum or exhaustion, depending on context.
Oversold Conditions: When the Z-Score falls below a predefined negative threshold (e.g., −1.25 or −2.0), the EMA50 is compressed relative to its norm, potentially signaling undervaluation or capitulation.
Neutral Conditions: A Z-Score near zero indicates that the EMA50 is near its historical average, suggesting the trend is behaving within expected bounds.
