New York Midnight Day SeparatorThis Pine Script indicator draws vertical separator lines on the chart at midnight in the New York timezone (Eastern Time). The lines mark the start of each new trading day from Monday to Friday, helping traders visually distinguish daily sessions based on New York market time. The separator lines are rendered as slightly transparent gray lines spanning the full price range of each midnight candle, providing a clean and unobtrusive visual aid for session tracking.
Liquidity mark-out indicator(by Lumiere)This indicator marks out every High that has a bullish candle followed by a bearish one, vice versa for lows.
Once the price reaches the marked-out liquidity, the line is removed automatically.
This indicator only shows the current liquidity of the time frame you are at.
(To get it look like the picture just chance the length to 30-50)
Key Features of the Liquidity Mark-Out Indicator:
🔹 Identifies Liquidity Zones – Marks highs and lows based on candlestick patterns.
🔹 Customizable Settings – Toggle highs/lows visibility 🎚️, adjust line colors 🎨, and set line length (bars) 📏.
🔹 Smart Clean-Up – Automatically removes swept levels (when price breaks through) for a clean chart 🧹.
🔹 Pattern-Based Detection –
Highs: Detects two-candle reversal patterns (🟢 bullish close → 🔴 bearish close).
Lows: Detects two-candle reversal patterns (🔴 bearish close → 🟢 bullish close).
🔹 Dynamic Lines – Projects liquidity levels forward (adjustable length) to track key zones 📈.
Perfect For Traders Looking To:
✅ Spot potential liquidity grabs 🎯
✅ Identify key support/resistance levels 🛑
✅ Clean up their chart from outdated levels 🖥️
Daily Open Line (9:30-16:00)This indicator automatically plots a horizontal line at each day's opening price during regular trading hours (9:30 AM to 4:00 PM, US Eastern Time).
The line starts exactly at the opening bar of the day and ends at the close (16:00).
Each day, a new line is drawn, making it easy to visualize and reference the daily open price throughout the session.
Useful for intraday traders to identify key support/resistance and monitor price action relative to the open.
You can customize the color, line width, and whether to display the open price label.
RSI‑MA Near‑Level AlertRSI‑MA Near‑Level Alert — Publication Description
Overview
RSI‑MA Near‑Level Alert plots a smoothed Relative Strength Index (RSI) line and sends automatic alerts whenever that line comes within a user‑defined distance of two key thresholds (default = 70 for overbought, 30 for oversold). It is designed for traders who want an early warning—before a classic 70/30 cross—so they can tighten stops, scale out, or prepare reversal setups.
How It Works
RSI Calculation – Uses the standard RSI (default length 14).
Smoothing – Applies a moving‑average (default Simple 10) to reduce noise.
Proximity Logic – On every bar, the script measures the absolute distance between the smoothed RSI line and each threshold.
If the distance ≤ the Proximity setting (default 1 point), the condition flips to true.
Built‑in Alert Triggers – Two alertcondition() calls are embedded:
“RSI MA near UPPER level”
“RSI MA near LOWER level”
Select either one (or both) from the TradingView alert dialog and choose your delivery method (popup, e‑mail, SMS, webhook).
Inputs
Input Default Purpose
RSI Length 14 Core momentum look‑back.
Smoothing MA Length 10 Length of the MA applied to RSI.
Upper Level 70 Overbought line.
Lower Level 30 Oversold line.
Alert Proximity (points) 1.0 How close (in RSI points) the MA must get to trigger.
All inputs are fully editable after you add the script to a chart.
Typical Use‑Cases
Pre‑emptive Exits – Get notified when momentum is stalling near 70 or 30 so you can lock in gains before a reversal.
Reversal Hunting – Combine the alert with price‑action patterns (pin bars, engulfing candles) for higher‑probability fades.
Breakout Confirmation – Increase Upper Level to 80 / Lower Level to 20 and lower Proximity to 0.5 for more aggressive trend‑following alerts.
Step‑by‑Step Alert Setup
Add the script to your chart.
Click the alarm‑clock‑plus icon (or press Alt + A).
In “Condition,” select RSI‑MA Near‑Level Alert.
Choose either RSI MA near UPPER level or RSI MA near LOWER level.
Pick Once Per Bar Close for confirmed signals or Once Per Bar for real‑time.
Select your preferred notification methods and click Create.
(Repeat for the opposite threshold.)
Customization Tips
Change Smoothing Type – Replace ta.sma() with ta.ema(), ta.rma(), etc., directly in the code if you prefer another MA.
Track Multiple Assets – Apply the indicator to each symbol in a multi‑chart layout and set independent alerts.
Narrow Range Play – Set Upper = 60, Lower = 40 and Proximity = 0.5 to monitor a quiet‑momentum band.

DCI### 📌 **DCI – Direction Correlation Index**
#### 🔹 **What It Is**
The **Direction Correlation Index (DCI)** is a tool for measuring how closely a group of up to 10 symbols move together in both *trend correlation* and *short-term direction*. It helps identify whether a group of assets is acting in unison or moving independently.
---
#### ⚙️ **How It Works**
DCI outputs three key metrics:
1. **Average Correlation**
* Measures the average of all pairwise correlations between the selected symbols.
* Prices are first standardized using a z-score (based on simple moving average and standard deviation over a user-defined lookback period).
* Correlation is calculated using Pearson’s method for all 45 symbol pairs.
* Result ranges from:
* `+1.00` = strong positive correlation
* `0.00` = no correlation
* `-1.00` = strong inverse correlation
2. **Direction Agreement %**
* Checks whether each symbol is moving up or down compared to its previous bar.
* Calculates the percentage of symbols moving in the same direction.
* For example: if 7 of 10 symbols are moving up and 3 are moving down, the direction agreement is 70%.
3. **Strong Correlation Count**
* Counts how many of the 45 symbol pairs have an absolute correlation above `0.7`.
* Helps highlight how many pairs are currently highly correlated.
---
#### 📈 **How to Use It**
1. **Select Symbols**
* In the **Settings**, you can input up to 10 custom symbols. These can be stocks, indices, forex pairs, crypto, or any tradable asset.
2. **Adjust the Lookback Period**
* Defines how many bars back are used to calculate z-scores and correlations.
* Default is `12`. Use shorter periods for faster response; longer periods for smoother, slower data.
3. **Interpret the Table (Plotted on Chart)**
* **Avg Corr**: Tells you how much the group is co-moving. High correlation often reflects unified market behavior.
* **Dir Agr %**: Shows directional sync. High values mean most instruments are trending the same way in the current bar.
* **> 0.7**: The number of pairs currently strongly correlated (|corr| > 0.7).
---
#### 🧠 **Practical Usage Tips**
* Use DCI to monitor **sector alignment**, **portfolio behavior**, or **market group momentum**.
* Confirm trend strength by checking if high correlation aligns with a strong direction agreement.
* Low correlation + mixed direction can signal **choppy or indecisive markets**.
* High correlation + strong direction = **trend confirmation** across your selected instruments.

FVG Trailing Stop [LuxAlgo]The FVG Trailing Stop indicator tracks unmitigated Fair Value Gaps (FVG) data to produce a Trailing Stop indicator able to determine if the market is uptrending or downtrending easily.
🔶 USAGE
The FVG Trailing Stop is intended to identify trend directions through its position relative to the closing price:
Bullish: Price is located above the Trailing Stop, indicating that all Bearish FVGs have been mitigated and the trend is anticipated to continue upwards.
Bearish State: Price is located below the Trailing Stop, indicating that all Bullish FVGs have been mitigated and the trend is anticipated to continue downwards.
The Trailing Stop originates from two extremities obtained from the average of respective unmitigated FVGs. The specific directional average is also displayed as a more transparent secondary line, however, the trailing stop is derived from this value and a new trend will not be detected until the opposite directional average is crossed.
Price reaching the Trailing Stop is caused by retracements and can lead to the following scenarios:
Outcome 1: The directional average is crossed next, indicating a new trend direction.
Outcome 2: The directional average is held as support or resistance, leading to a new impulse and a continuation of the trend.
🔹 Reset on Cross
While price crossing the Trailing Stop should be considered as a sign of an upcoming trend change; it is possible for the price to still evolve outside it.
As a solution, we have included the "Reset on Cross" feature, which (as the name suggests) hides and resets the Trailing Stop each time it is crossed, leading to a "Neutral" state.
This opens the opportunity for the Trailing Stop to be displayed again once the price moves again in the direction of the pre-established trend. A trader might use this to accumulate positions within a specific trend.
🔶 DETAILS
The script uses a typical identification method for FVGs. Once identified, the script collects the point of the FVG farthest from the current price when formed.
For Upwards FVGs this is the bottom of the FVG.
For Downwards FVGs this is the top of the FVG.
The data is managed only to use the last input lookback of FVGs. If an FVG is mitigated, it frees up a spot in the memory for a new FVG, however, if the lookback is full, the oldest will be deleted.
From there, it uses a "trailing" logic only to move the Trailing Stop in one direction until the trailing stop resets or the direction flips.
The extremities used to calculate the Trailing Stop are created from 2 calculation steps, the first step involves taking the raw average of the FVG mitigation levels, and the second step applies a simple moving average (SMA) smoothing of the precedent-obtained averages.
🔶 SETTINGS
Unmitigated FVG Lookback: Sets the maximum number of Unmitigated FVGs that the script will use.
Smoothing Length: Sets the smoothing length for the Trailing Stop to reduce erratic results.
Reset on Cross: When enabled, hide and reset the Trailing Stop until the price starts moving in the pre-established trend direction again.
AI Strat ATR Dinamico + ADX + Trend Adaptivo (No Repaint)Below is a fully self-contained, English-language description of every input, function, and logical block inside the “AI Strat ATR Dinamico + ADX + Trend Adaptivo (No Repaint)” indicator. You can copy and paste this into TradingView’s “Description” field when you publish, without exposing any Pine code.
---
## Indicator Name and Purpose
**Name (Short Title):**
AI Strat Adaptive v3 (NoRepaint)
**Overview:**
This indicator combines multiple technical tools—RSI, EMA, ATR (with a dynamic multiplier), ADX/DI, and an “AI‐style” scoring mechanism—to generate trend-filtered and reversal signals. It also optionally confirms signals on a higher timeframe, dynamically adjusts its sensitivity based on volatility, and plots intrabar stop‐loss (SL) and take‐profit (TP) levels derived from ATR. Special care has been taken to ensure that no signals “repaint” (i.e., once drawn on a closed bar, they never disappear or shift).
---
## 1. Main Inputs
All of the inputs appear in the Settings dialog for the published indicator. Below is a detailed explanation of each input, grouped by logical category.
### A. RSI & EMA Base Parameters
1. **RSI Length (Base)**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 14)
* **Description:** Number of bars used to calculate the Relative Strength Index (RSI). A shorter RSI reacts more quickly to price changes; a longer RSI is smoother.
2. **RSI Overbought Threshold**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 60)
* **Description:** If the RSI value rises above this level, it contributes a “sell” signal component. You can adjust this (e.g., 70) to make your system more conservative.
3. **RSI Oversold Threshold**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 40)
* **Description:** If the RSI falls below this level, it contributes a “buy” signal component. Raising this threshold (e.g., 50) makes the strategy more aggressive in seeking reversals.
4. **EMA Length (Base)**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 20)
* **Description:** Number of bars for the Exponential Moving Average (EMA). A shorter EMA will produce more frequent crossovers, a longer EMA is smoother.
### B. ATR & Volatility Filter Parameters
5. **ATR Length (Base)**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 14)
* **Description:** Number of bars to calculate Average True Range (ATR). The ATR is used both for measuring volatility and for dynamic SL/TP levels.
6. **ATR SMA Length**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 50)
* **Description:** Number of bars to compute a Simple Moving Average of the ATR itself. This gives a baseline of “normal” volatility. If ATR rises significantly above this SMA, the indicator treats the market as “high volatility.”
7. **ATR Multiplier Base**
* **Input type:** Float (default 1.2, step 0.1)
* **Description:** Base multiplier for ATR when filtering for volatility. The actual threshold is computed as `ATR_SMA × (ATR_Multiplier Base) × sqrt(current_ATR / ATR_SMA)`. In other words, the multiplier becomes larger if volatility is rising, and smaller if volatility is falling.
8. **Disable Volatility Filter**
* **Input type:** Boolean (default false)
* **Description:** If enabled (true), the indicator will ignore any volatility‐based filtering, using signals regardless of ATR behavior. If disabled (false), signals only fire when ATR > (ATR\_SMA × dynamic multiplier).
### C. Price-Change & “AI Score” Parameters
9. **Price Change Period (bars)**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 3)
* **Description:** The number of bars back to measure percentage price change. Used to ensure that a “trend” signal is accompanied by a sufficiently positive (for longs) or negative (for shorts) price movement over this many bars.
10. **Base AI Score Threshold**
* **Input type:** Float (default 0.1)
* **Description:** The indicator computes a composite “AI-style” score by combining the RSI signal (overbought/oversold) and an EMA crossover signal. Only if the absolute value of that composite score exceeds this threshold will a trend signal be eligible. Raising it makes signals rarer but (potentially) higher-conviction.
### D. SMA “ICT” Trend Filter Parameters
11. **ICT SMA Long Length (Base)**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 50)
* **Description:** Number of bars for the “long” Simple Moving Average (SMA) used in the internal trend filter. Typically, price must be above this SMA (and ADX must be strong) to confirm an uptrend, or below it (and ADX strong) to confirm a downtrend.
12. **ICT SMA Short1 Length (Base)**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 10)
* **Description:** Secondary “fast” SMA used both for reversal logic (e.g., price crossing above it can count as a bullish reversal) and part of the internal trend confirmation.
13. **ICT SMA Short2 Length (Base)**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 20)
* **Description:** A second “medium” SMA used for reversal triggers (e.g., crossovers or crossunders alongside RSI conditions).
### E. ADX & DI Parameters
14. **Base ADX Length**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 14)
* **Description:** Number of bars for the ADX (Average Directional Index) moving averages, which measure trend strength. The same length is used for +DI and –DI smoothing.
15. **Base ADX Threshold**
* **Input type:** Float (default 25.0, step 0.5)
* **Description:** If ADX > this threshold and +DI > –DI, we consider an uptrend; if ADX > this threshold and –DI > +DI, we consider a downtrend. Raising this value demands stronger trends to qualify.
### F. Sensitivity & Cooldown
16. **Sensitivity (0–1)**
* **Input type:** Float between 0.0 and 1.0 (default 0.5)
* **Description:** A general “mixture” parameter used internally to weight how aggressively the indicator leans into trend versus reversal. In practice, the code uses it to fine-tune exact thresholds for switching between trend and reversal conditions. You can leave it at 0.5 unless you want to bias more heavily toward either regime.
17. **Base Cooldown Bars Between Signals**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 5, min 0)
* **Description:** Once a long or short signal fires, the indicator will wait at least this many bars before allowing a new signal in the same direction. Prevents “signal flipping” on each bar. A higher number forces fewer, more spaced-out entries.
18. **Trend Confirmation Bars**
* **Input type:** Integer (default 3, min 1)
* **Description:** After the directional filters (+DI/–DI cross, price vs. SMA), the indicator still requires that price remains on the same side of the long SMA for at least this many consecutive bars before confirming “trend up” or “trend down.” Larger values smooth out false breakouts but may lag signals.
### G. Higher Timeframe Confirmation
19. **Use Higher Timeframe Confirmation**
* **Input type:** Boolean (default true)
* **Description:** If true, the indicator will request a block of values (SMA, +DI, –DI, ADX) from a higher timeframe (default 60 minutes) and require that the higher timeframe is also in agreement (strong uptrend or strong downtrend) before confirming your current-timeframe trend. This helps filter out lower-timeframe noise.
20. **Higher Timeframe (TF) for Confirmation**
* **Input type:** Timeframe (default “60”)
* **Description:** The chart timeframe (e.g., 5, 15, 60 minutes) whose trend conditions must also be true. It’s sent through a `request.security(..., lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off)` call so that it never “paints ahead.”
### H. Dynamic TP/SL Parameters
21. **TP as ATR Multiple**
* **Input type:** Float (default 2.0, step 0.1)
* **Description:** When a trade is open, the “take-profit” price is determined by looking at the highest high (for longs) or lowest low (for shorts) observed since entry, and then plotting a cross (“X”) at that level when the trend finally flips. This is purely for display. However, separate from that, this parameter can be adapted if you want a strictly ATR–based TP. In the “Minimal” version, TP is ≈ (highest high) once trend inverts, but you could rewrite it to use `entry_price + ATR×TP_Multiplier`.
22. **SL as ATR Multiple**
* **Input type:** Float (default 1.0, step 0.1)
* **Description:** While in a trade, a trailing SL line is plotted each bar. Its value is always `entry_price ± (ATR × SL_Multiplier)`. When the trend inverts, the SL no longer updates, and you see it on the chart.
### I. Display and Mode Options
23. **Show Debug Lines**
* **Input type:** Boolean (default true)
* **Description:** When enabled, the indicator will plot all intermediate lines—ATR SMA, ATR Threshold, +DI, –DI, ADX (current and HTF), HTF SMA, etc.—so that you can diagnose exactly what’s happening. Turn this off to hide all debug information and only see entry/exit shapes.
24. **Enable Scalping Mode**
* **Input type:** Boolean (default false)
* **Description:** If true, many of the “base” parameters are halved (e.g., RSI length becomes 7 instead of 14, ATR length becomes 7 instead of 14, ADX length becomes 7, etc.), and the ADX threshold is multiplied by 0.8. This makes all oscillators and moving averages more reactive, suited for very short-term (scalping) setups.
---
## 2. Core Calculation Blocks
Below is a high-level description of each logical block (in code order), translated from Pine into conceptual steps.
### A. Adjust Inputs if “Scalping Mode” Is On
If **Scalping Mode** = true, then:
* `RSI_Length` becomes `max(1, round(Base_RSI_Length / 2))`
* `EMA_Length` becomes `max(1, round(Base_EMA_Length / 2))`
* `ATR_Length` becomes `max(1, round(Base_ATR_Length / 2))`
* `Price_Change_Period` becomes `max(1, round(Base_Price_Change_Period / 2))`
* `SMA_Long_Length`, `SMA_Short1_Length`, and `SMA_Short2_Length` are each halved (minimum 1).
* `ADX_Length` = `max(1, round(Base_ADX_Length / 2))`
* `ADX_Threshold` = `Base_ADX_Threshold × 0.8`
* `Cooldown_Bars` = `max(0, round(Base_Cooldown_Bars / 2))`
Otherwise, all adjusted lengths = their base values.
### B. RSI, EMA & “AI Score” on Current Timeframe
1. **Compute RSI:**
* Uses the (possibly adjusted) `RSI_Length`.
* Denote this as `RSI_Value`.
2. **Compute ATR & Its SMA:**
* `ATR_Value` = `ta.atr(ATR_Length)`.
* `ATR_SMA` = `ta.sma(ATR_Value, ATR_SMA_Length)`.
* Then define `Volatility_Increase` = (`ATR_Value > ATR_SMA`).
* If the volatility has increased, the weighting of RSI vs. EMA changes.
3. **Compute Weights:**
* If `Volatility_Increase == true`, then:
* `RSI_Weight = 0.7`
* `EMA_Weight = 0.3`
* Otherwise:
* `RSI_Weight = 0.3`
* `EMA_Weight = 0.7`
4. **RSI Signal Component (`RSI_Sig`):**
* If `RSI_Value > RSI_Overbought`, then `RSI_Sig = –1`.
* Else if `RSI_Value < RSI_Oversold`, then `RSI_Sig = +1`.
* Otherwise, `RSI_Sig = 0`.
5. **EMA Value & Signal Component (`EMA_Sig`):**
* `EMA_Value` = `ta.ema(close, EMA_Length)`.
* `EMA_Sig = +1` if the current close crosses **above** the EMA; `EMA_Sig = –1` if the current close crosses **below** the EMA; else `0`.
6. **Compute Raw “AI Score”:**
$$
Raw\_AI = (RSI\_Sig \times RSI\_Weight)\;+\;(EMA\_Sig \times EMA\_Weight)
$$
Then,
$$
AI\_Score = \frac{Raw\_AI}{(RSI\_Weight + EMA\_Weight)}
$$
(This normalization ensures the score always ranges between –1 and +1 if both weights sum to 1.)
### C. Dynamic ATR Multiplier & Volatility Filter
1. **Volatility Factor:**
$$
Volatility\_Factor = \frac{ATR\_Value}{ATR\_SMA}
$$
2. **Dynamic ATR Multiplier:**
$$
ATR\_Multiplier = ATR\_Multiplier\_Base \times \sqrt{Volatility\_Factor}
$$
3. **High Volatility Condition (`High_Volatility`):**
* If `Disable_Volatility_Filter == true`, then treat `High_Volatility = true` always.
* Else, `High_Volatility = (ATR_Value > ATR_SMA × ATR_Multiplier)`.
### D. Price Change Percentage
* **Compute Price Change:**
$$
Price\_Change = \frac{(Close - Close )}{Close } \times 100
$$
* This is the percent return from `Price_Change_Period` bars ago to now.
* For a valid long‐trend signal, we require `Price_Change > 0`; for a short trend, `Price_Change < 0`.
### E. Local SMAs for Trend/Reversal Filters
* `SMA_Close_Long` = `ta.sma(close, SMA_Long_Length)`.
* `SMA_Close_Short1` = `ta.sma(close, SMA_Short1_Length)`.
* `SMA_Close_Short2` = `ta.sma(close, SMA_Short2_Length)`.
These three SMAs help define the “local trend” and reversal breakout points:
* **Primary Trend Filter:**
* Price must be above `SMA_Close_Long` for an uptrend filter, or below `SMA_Close_Long` for a downtrend filter.
* **Reversal Filter:**
* A bullish reversal is detected if **(RSI < Oversold AND close crosses above EMA)** OR **(RSI < Oversold AND close crosses above SMA\_Close\_Short1)**.
* A bearish reversal is detected if **(RSI > Overbought AND close crosses below EMA)** OR **(RSI > Overbought AND close crosses below SMA\_Close\_Short1)**.
### F. Manual +DI, –DI & ADX on Current Timeframe
Instead of relying on the built-in `ta.adx`, the script calculates DI and ADX manually. This makes it easier to replicate the exact logic on a higher timeframe via `request.security`. The steps are:
1. **Directional Movement (DM) Components:**
* `Up_Move` = `high – high `
* `Down_Move` = `low – low`
* `Plus_DM` = `Up_Move` if (`Up_Move > Down_Move` AND `Up_Move > 0`), else `0`
* `Minus_DM` = `Down_Move` if (`Down_Move > Up_Move` AND `Down_Move > 0`), else `0`
2. **True Range (TR) Components:**
* `TR1` = `high – low`
* `TR2` = `abs(high – close )`
* `TR3` = `abs(low – close )`
* `True_Range` = `max(TR1, TR2, TR3)`
3. **Smoothed Averages (RMA):**
* `Sm_TR` = `ta.rma(True_Range, ADX_Length)`
* `Sm_Plus` = `ta.rma(Plus_DM, ADX_Length)`
* `Sm_Minus`= `ta.rma(Minus_DM, ADX_Length)`
4. **Compute DI%:**
$$
Plus\_DI = \frac{Sm\_Plus}{Sm\_TR} \times 100,\quad
Minus\_DI = \frac{Sm\_Minus}{Sm\_TR} \times 100
$$
5. **DX and ADX:**
$$
DX = \frac{|Plus\_DI - Minus\_DI|}{Plus\_DI + Minus\_DI} \times 100,\quad
ADX = ta.rma(DX, ADX_Length)
$$
These values are referred to as `(plus_di, minus_di, adx_val)` for the current timeframe.
---
## 3. Higher Timeframe (HTF) Confirmation Function
If **Use Higher Timeframe Confirmation** is enabled, the script calls a single helper (Pine) function `f_htf` with two parameters: the ADX length and the SMA length (both taken from the “base” or “scaled” values). Internally, `f_htf` simply reruns the manual DI/ADX logic (same as above) on the higher timeframe’s bar data, and also includes that timeframe’s closing price and its SMA for trend comparison.
* **Request.Security Call:**
```
= request.security(
syminfo.tickerid,
higher_tf,
f_htf(adx_length, sma_long_len),
lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off
)
```
* `lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off` ensures that no HTF value “paints” early; you always see only confirmed HTF bars.
* The returned tuple provides:
1. `ht_close` = HTF closing price
2. `ht_sma` = HTF SMA of length `sma_long_len`
3. `ht_pdi` = HTF +DI percentage
4. `ht_mdi` = HTF –DI percentage
5. `ht_adx` = HTF ADX value
---
## 4. Trend & Reversal Filters (Current & HTF)
### A. Current-Timeframe Trend Filter
1. **Uptrend\_Basic (Current TF)**
$$
(plus\_di > minus\_di)\;\land\;(adx\_val > ADX\_Threshold)\;\land\;(close > SMA\_Close\_Long)
$$
2. **Downtrend\_Basic (Current TF)**
$$
(minus\_di > plus\_di)\;\land\;(adx\_val > ADX\_Threshold)\;\land\;(close < SMA\_Close\_Long)
$$
3. **Trend Confirmation by Bars:**
* `Bars_Since_Below` = number of bars since `close <= SMA_Close_Long`.
* `Bars_Since_Above` = number of bars since `close >= SMA_Close_Long`.
* If `Uptrend_Basic == true` AND `Bars_Since_Below ≥ Trend_Confirmation_Bars` → mark `Uptrend_Confirm = true`.
* If `Downtrend_Basic == true` AND `Bars_Since_Above ≥ Trend_Confirmation_Bars` → mark `Downtrend_Confirm = true`.
### B. Reversal Filters (Current TF)
1. **Bullish Reversal (`Rev_Bullish`):**
* If `(RSI < RSI_Oversold AND close crosses above EMA_Value)` OR
`(RSI < RSI_Oversold AND close crosses above SMA_Close_Short1)`
→ then `Rev_Bullish = true`.
2. **Bearish Reversal (`Rev_Bearish`):**
* If `(RSI > RSI_Overbought AND close crosses below EMA_Value)` OR
`(RSI > RSI_Overbought AND close crosses below SMA_Close_Short1)`
→ then `Rev_Bearish = true`.
### C. Higher-Timeframe Trend Filter (HTF)
1. **HTF Uptrend (`HT_Uptrend`):**
$$
(ht\_pdi > ht\_mdi)\;\land\;(ht\_adx > ADX\_Threshold)\;\land\;(ht\_close > ht\_sma)
$$
2. **HTF Downtrend (`HT_Downtrend`):**
$$
(ht\_mdi > ht\_pdi)\;\land\;(ht\_adx > ADX\_Threshold)\;\land\;(ht\_close < ht\_sma)
$$
3. **Combine Current & HTF:**
* If **Use\_HTF\_Confirmation == true**, then:
* `Uptrend_Confirm := Uptrend_Confirm AND HT_Uptrend`
* `Downtrend_Confirm := Downtrend_Confirm AND HT_Downtrend`
* Otherwise, just use the current timeframe’s `Uptrend_Confirm` and `Downtrend_Confirm`.
4. **Define `CurrentTrend` (Integer):**
* `CurrentTrend = +1` if `Uptrend_Confirm == true`.
* `CurrentTrend = –1` if `Downtrend_Confirm == true`.
* Otherwise, `CurrentTrend = 0`.
5. **Reset “One Trade Per Trend”:**
* There is a persistent variable `LastTradeTrend`.
* Every time `CurrentTrend` flips (i.e., `CurrentTrend != CurrentTrend `), the code sets `LastTradeTrend := 0`.
* That allows one new entry once the detected trend has changed.
---
## 5. One‐Time “Cooldown” Logic
* **`LastSignalBar`**
* A persistent integer (initially undefined).
* After each confirmed long or short entry, `LastSignalBar` is set to the bar index where that signal fired.
* **`Bars_Since_Signal`**
* If `LastSignalBar` is undefined, treat as a very large number (so that initial signals are always allowed).
* Otherwise, `Bars_Since_Signal = bar_index – LastSignalBar`.
* **Cooldown Check:**
* A new long (or short) can only be generated if `(Bars_Since_Signal > Signal_Cooldown)`.
* This prevents multiple signals in rapid succession.
---
## 6. Entry Conditions (No Repaint)
All of the conditions below are calculated “intrabar,” but the script only actually registers a **signal** on **bar close** (`barstate.isconfirmed`) so that signals never repaint.
### A. Trend‐Based “Raw” Conditions
1. **Trend\_Long\_Raw:**
$$
(AI\_Score > AI\_Score\_Threshold)\;\land\;Uptrend\_Confirm\;\land\;High\_Volatility\;\land\;(Price\_Change > 0)
$$
2. **Trend\_Short\_Raw:**
$$
(AI\_Score < -AI\_Score\_Threshold)\;\land\;Downtrend\_Confirm\;\land\;High\_Volatility\;\land\;(Price\_Change < 0)
$$
### B. Reversal “Raw” Conditions
1. **Rev\_Long\_Raw:**
$$
Rev\_Bullish\;\land\;(CurrentTrend eq +1)
$$
2. **Rev\_Short\_Raw:**
$$
Rev\_Bearish\;\land\;(CurrentTrend eq -1)
$$
### C. Combine Raw Signals
* `Raw_Long = Trend_Long_Raw OR Rev_Long_Raw`.
* `Raw_Short = Trend_Short_Raw OR Rev_Short_Raw`.
### D. Confirmed Long/Short Signal Flags
On each new bar **close** (`barstate.isconfirmed == true`):
* **Long\_Signal\_Confirmed** can fire if:
1. `Raw_Long == true`
2. `LastTradeTrend != +1` (we haven’t already taken a long in this same trend)
3. `Bars_Since_Signal > Signal_Cooldown`
If all three hold, then on this bar close the code sets:
* `Long_Signal = true`
* `LastTradeTrend := +1`
* `LastSignalBar := bar_index`
Otherwise, `Long_Signal := false` on this bar.
* **Short\_Signal\_Confirmed** works the same way but with `Raw_Short`, `LastTradeTrend != -1`, etc.
If triggered, it sets `Short_Signal = true`, `LastTradeTrend := -1`, and `LastSignalBar := bar_index`. Otherwise `Short_Signal := false`.
* **Important:** If the bar is still forming (`else` branch of `barstate.isconfirmed`), then both `Long_Signal` and `Short_Signal` are forced to `false`. This guarantees that no shape or alert appears until the bar actually closes.
---
## 7. Plotting Entry/Exit Shapes
1. **Trend Long Signal (Triangle Up)**
* Condition: `Long_Signal == true` **AND** `Trend_Long_Raw == true`.
* Appearance: A small, semi-transparent lime green triangle drawn **below** the bar.
2. **Trend Short Signal (Triangle Down)**
* Condition: `Short_Signal == true` **AND** `Trend_Short_Raw == true`.
* Appearance: A small, semi-transparent maroon triangle drawn **above** the bar.
3. **Reversal Long Signal (Circle)**
* Condition: `Long_Signal == true` **AND** `Rev_Long_Raw == true`.
* Appearance: A tiny, more transparent green circle drawn **below** the bar.
4. **Reversal Short Signal (Circle)**
* Condition: `Short_Signal == true` **AND** `Rev_Short_Raw == true`.
* Appearance: A tiny, more transparent red circle drawn **above** the bar.
Since `Long_Signal` and `Short_Signal` only ever become true at bar close, these shapes are never repainted or removed once drawn.
---
## 8. Unified Alert Message
* As soon as a new bar closes with either `Long_Signal` or `Short_Signal == true`, an alert message is sent:
* If `Long_Signal`, then `alert_msg = "action=BUY"`.
* If `Short_Signal`, then `alert_msg = "action=SELL"`.
* If neither, `alert_msg = ""` (no alert).
* The code calls `alert(alert_msg, freq=alert.freq_once_per_bar)` only if `barstate.isconfirmed` and `alert_msg` is non‐empty. This ensures exactly one alert per confirmed bar, no intrabar pops.
---
## 9. Dynamic TP/SL Logic (Minimal Implementation)
Once a long or short position is “open,” the script tracks these variables:
1. **Persistent Flags and Prices** (all persist between bars until reset):
* `InLong` (Boolean)
* `InShort` (Boolean)
* `Long_Max` (Float)
* `Short_Min` (Float)
* `Entry_Price` (Float)
2. **On Bar Close:**
* If `Long_Signal == true` →
* Set `InLong := true`,
* `Entry_Price := close` of that bar,
* `Long_Max := high ` (last bar’s high, so that we’re not using “future” data).
* If `Short_Signal == true` →
* Set `InShort := true`,
* `Entry_Price := close`,
* `Short_Min := low `.
3. **While `InLong == true`:**
* Continuously update `Long_Max = max(Long_Max, current high)` on each bar (intrabar, but finalized each close).
* Compute a dynamic SL:
$$
SL_{Long} = Entry\_Price - (ATR \times SL\_ATR\_Multiplier).
$$
* If **current trend** flips to non-uptrend (`CurrentTrend != +1`), mark `ExitLong = true`.
* Then the routine plots `TP_Long = Long_Max` as a cross (“X”) at that level.
* Set `InLong := false` so that no further changes to `Long_Max` or `Entry_Price` happen on future bars.
4. **While `InShort == true`:**
* Continuously update `Short_Min = min(Short_Min, current low)`.
* Compute a dynamic SL:
$$
SL_{Short} = Entry\_Price + (ATR \times SL\_ATR\_Multiplier).
$$
* If trend flips to non-downtrend (`CurrentTrend != –1`), mark `ExitShort = true`.
* Then the routine plots `TP_Short = Short_Min`.
* Set `InShort := false` to freeze those values.
5. **Plotting TP/SL if “Show Debug” is On:**
* **TP Shapes:**
* When `ExitLong == true`, plot a solid lime “X” at `TP_Long` (highest high).
* When `ExitShort == true`, plot a solid maroon “X” at `TP_Short` (lowest low).
* **SL Lines:**
* If still `InLong`, draw a thin red line at `SL_Long` on each bar.
* If still `InShort`, draw a thin green line at `SL_Short`.
Thus, your charts visually show the highest‐high take-profit cross for longs, the lowest-low take-profit cross for shorts, and a continuously updating trailing SL until the trend flips. Because all of this is triggered on confirmed bars, nothing “jumps around” after the fact.
---
## 10. Debug‐Only Plot Lines (When Enabled)
When **Show Debug Lines** = true, the indicator will also plot:
1. **ATR SMA (Orange):**
* The simple moving average of ATR over `ATR_SMA_Length`.
2. **ATR Threshold (Yellow):**
* `ATR_SMA × ATR_Multiplier` (the dynamically scaled threshold).
3. **+DI & –DI (Current TF):**
* +DI plotted as a green line, –DI plotted as a red line (opacity \~70%).
4. **ADX (Current TF, Blue):**
* A blue line for the present timeframe’s ADX.
5. **ADX Threshold (Gray):**
* A horizontal gray line showing `ADX_Threshold`.
6. **+DI & –DI (HTF, Darker Colors):**
* If HTF confirmation is on, “HTF +DI” is a greener but more transparent line; “HTF –DI” is a redder but more transparent line.
7. **ADX (HTF, Blue but Transparent):**
* HTF ADX plotted in blue (high transparency).
8. **HTF SMA (Orange, Transparent):**
* The higher timeframe’s SMA (same length as `SMA_Long_Length`), drawn in fainter orange.
9. **Volatility Zone Fill (Yellow Tinted Area):**
* Fills the area between `ATR_SMA` and `ATR_SMA × ATR_Multiplier`.
* Indicates “normal” versus “high‐volatility” regimes.
These debug lines are purely visual aids. Disable them if you want a cleaner chart.
---
## 11. Putting It All Together — Step-By-Step Flow
1. **Read Inputs** (RSI lengths, EMA length, ATR settings, etc.).
2. **Optionally Halve All Lengths** if “Scalping Mode” is checked.
3. **Calculate Current TF Indicators:**
* RSI, ATR, ATR\_SMA, EMA, price change, various SMAs, DI/ADX.
4. **Compute “AI Score”** (weighted sum of RSI and EMA signals).
5. **Compute Dynamic ATR Multiplier** and decide if “High Volatility” is true.
6. **Compute Raw Trend/Reversal Conditions** on the current timeframe (without triggering yet).
7. **Fetch HTF Values** in one `request.security` call (SMAs, DI/ADX).
8. **Combine Current & HTF Trend Filters** to confirm `Uptrend_Confirm` or `Downtrend_Confirm`.
9. **Check Reversal Conditions** (price crossing EMA or SMA short, in overbought/oversold zones).
10. **Enforce “One Trade Per Trend”** (clear `LastTradeTrend` whenever `CurrentTrend` flips).
11. **Enforce Cooldown** (must wait at least `Signal_Cooldown` bars since the prior signal).
12. **On Bar Close:**
* If `Raw_Long` AND not already in a long trend AND cooldown met, then fire `Long_Signal`.
* Else if `Raw_Short` AND not already in a short trend AND cooldown met, then fire `Short_Signal`.
* Otherwise, no new signal on this bar.
13. **Plot Long/Short Entry Shapes** according to whether it was a Trend signal or a Reversal signal.
14. **Send Alert** (“action=BUY” or “action=SELL”) exactly once per confirmed bar.
15. **If New Long/Short Signal, Set `InLong`/`InShort`, Record Entry Price, Initialize `Long_Max`/`Short_Min`.**
16. **While `InLong` is true:** Update `Long_Max = max(previous Long_Max, current high)`. Compute `SL_Long`. If the current trend flips (no longer uptrend), set `ExitLong = true`, plot a “TP X,” and close the position logic.
17. **While `InShort` is true:** Similarly update `Short_Min`, compute `SL_Short`, and if trend flips, set `ExitShort = true`, plot a “TP X,” and close the position logic.
18. **Optionally Display Debug Lines** (ATR SMA, ATR threshold, DI/ADX, HTF DI/ADX, etc.).

## 12. How to Use in TradingView Community
When you publish this indicator to the TradingView community—choosing “Protected” or “Invite-only” visibility—you can paste the above description into the “Description” field. Users will see exactly what each input does, how signals are generated, and what the various plotted lines represent, **without ever seeing the script source**. In this way, the code itself remains hidden but the logic is fully documented.
1. **Go to “Create New Indicator”** on TradingView.
2. **Paste Your Pine Code** (the full indicator script) in the Pine editor and save it.
3. **Set Visibility = Protected** (or Invite-only).
4. **In the “Description” Text Box, paste the entirety of this document** (steps 1–11).
5. **Click “Publish Script.”**
Users who view your indicator will see its name (“AI Strat Adaptive v3 (NoRepaint)”), a list of all inputs (with default values), and the detailed English description above. They can then load it on any chart, adjust inputs, and see the plotted signals, TP/SL lines, and optional debug overlays—without accessing the underlying Pine code.
---
### Summary of Key Points
* **RSI, EMA, ATR, DI/ADX, and “AI Score”** work together to define “trend vs. reversal.”
* **Dynamic volatility filter** uses ATR and ATR\_SMA to adapt the weighting of RSI vs. EMA and decide whether “volatility is high enough” to permit a trend trade.
* **One trade per detected trend** and a **cooldown period** prevent over‐trading.
* **Higher timeframe confirmation** (optional) further filters out noise.
* **No-repaint logic**:
* All signals only appear at bar close (`barstate.isconfirmed`).
* HTF values are fetched with `lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off`.
* **Entry shapes** (triangles and circles) clearly mark trend vs. reversal entries.
* **Dynamic TP/SL**: highest‐high (or lowest‐low) since entry is used as TP, ATR×multiplier as SL.
* **Debug mode** (optional) shows every intermediate line for full transparency.
Use this description verbatim (or adapt it slightly for your personal style) when publishing. That way, your community sees exactly how each component works—inputs, functions, filters—while the Pine source code remains private.
Kaufman Trend Strength Signal█ Overview
Kaufman Trend Strength Signal is an advanced trend detection tool that decomposes price action into its underlying directional trend and localized oscillation using a vector-based Kalman Filter.
By integrating adaptive smoothing and dynamic weighting via a weighted moving average (WMA), this indicator provides real-time insight into both trend direction and trend strength — something standard moving averages often fail to capture.
The core model assumes that observed price consists of two components:
(1) a directional trend, and
(2) localized noise or oscillation.
Using a two-step Predict & Update cycle, the filter continuously refines its trend estimate as new market data becomes available.
█ How It Works
This indicator employs a Kalman Filter model that separates the trend from short-term fluctuations in a price series.
Predict & Update Cycle : With each new bar, the filter predicts the price state and updates that prediction using the latest observed price, producing a smooth but adaptive trend line.
Trend Strength Normalization : Internally, the oscillator component is normalized against recent values (N periods) to calculate a trend strength score between -100 and +100.
(Note: The oscillator is not plotted on the chart but is used for signal generation.)
Filtered MA Line : The trend component is plotted as a smooth Kalman Filter-based moving average (MA) line on the main chart.
Threshold Cross Signals : When the internal trend strength crosses a user-defined threshold (default: ±60), visual entry arrows are displayed to signal momentum shifts.
█ Key Features
Adaptive Trend Estimation : Real-time filtering that adjusts dynamically to market changes.
Visual Buy/Sell Signals : Entry arrows appear when the trend strength crosses above or below the configured threshold.
Built-in Range Filter : The MA line turns blue when trend strength is weak (|value| < 10), helping you filter out choppy, sideways conditions.
█ How to Use
Trend Detection :
• Green MA = bullish trend
• Red MA = bearish trend
• Blue MA = no trend / ranging market
Entry Signals :
• Green triangle = trend strength crossed above +Threshold → potential bullish entry
• Red triangle = trend strength crossed below -Threshold → potential bearish entry
█ Settings
Entry Threshold : Level at which the trend strength triggers entry signals (default: 60)
Process Noise 1 & 2 : Control the filter’s responsiveness to recent price action. Higher = more reactive; lower = smoother.
Measurement Noise : Sets how much the filter "trusts" price data. High = smoother MA, low = faster response but more noise.
Trend Lookback (N2) : Number of bars used to normalize trend strength. Lower = more sensitive; higher = more stable.
Trend Smoothness (R2) : WMA smoothing applied to the trend strength calculation.
█ Visual Guide
Green MA Line → Bullish trend
Red MA Line → Bearish trend
Blue MA Line → Sideways/range
Green Triangle → Entry signal (trend strengthening)
Red Triangle → Entry signal (trend weakening)
█ Best Practices
In high-volatility conditions, increase Measurement Noise to reduce false signals.
Combine with other indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD, EMA) for confirmation and filtering.
Adjust "Entry Threshold" and noise settings depending on your timeframe and trading style.

Curved Trend Channels (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Curved Trend Channels (Zeiierman) is a next-generation trend visualization tool engineered to adapt dynamically to both linear and non-linear market behavior. It introduces a novel curvature-based channeling system that grows over time during trending conditions, mirroring the natural acceleration of price trends, while simultaneously leveraging adaptive range filtering and dual-layer candle trend logic.
This tool is ideal for traders seeking smooth yet reactive dynamic channels that evolve with market structure. Whether used in curved mode or traditional slope mode, it provides exceptional clarity on trend transitions, volatility compression, and breakout development.
█ How It Works
⚪ Adaptive Range Filter Foundation
The core of the system is a volatility-based range filter that determines the underlying structure of the bands:
Pre-Smoothing of High/Low Data – Highs and lows are smoothed using a selectable moving average (SMA, EMA, HMA, KAMA, etc.) before calculating the volatility range.
Volatility Envelope – The range is scaled using a fixed factor (2.618) and further adjusted by a Band Multiplier to form the primary envelope around price.
Smoothed Volatility Curve – Final bands are stabilized using a long lookback, ensuring clean visual structure and trend clarity.
⚪ Curved Channel Logic
In Curved Mode, the trend channel grows over time when the trend direction remains unchanged:
Base Step Size (× ATR) – Sets the minimum unit of slope change.
Growth per Bar (× ATR) – Defines the acceleration rate of the channel slope with time.
Trend Persistence Recognition – The longer a trend persists, the more pronounced the slope becomes, mimicking real market accelerations.
This dynamic, time-dependent logic enables the channel to "curve" upward or downward, tracking long-standing trends with increasing confidence.
⚪ Trend Slope
As an alternative to curved logic, traders can activate a regular Trend slope using:
Slope Length – Determines how quickly the trend line adapts to price shifts.
Multiplicative Factor – Amplifies the sensitivity of the slope, useful in fast-moving markets or lower timeframes.
⚪ Candle Trend Confirmation
A robust second-layer trend detection method, the Candle Trend System evaluates directional pressure by analyzing smoothed price action:
Multi-tier Smoothing – Trend lines are derived from short-, medium-, and long-term candle movement.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Identification
When the Trend Line direction and Candle Colors are in agreement, this indicates strong, persistent directional conviction. Use these moments to enter with trend confirmation and manage risk more confidently.
⚪ Retest
During ongoing trends, the price will often pull back into the dynamic channel. Look for:
Support/resistance interactions at the upper or lower bands.
█ Settings
Scaled Volatility Length – Controls the historical depth used to stabilize the volatility bands.
Smoothing Type – Choose from HMA, KAMA, VIDYA, FRAMA, Super Smoother, etc. to match your asset and trading style.
Volatility MA Length – Smoothing length for the calculated range; shorter = more reactive.
High/Low Smoother Length – Additional smoothing to reduce noise from spikes or false pivots.
Band Multiplier – Widens or tightens the band range based on personal preference.
Enable Curved Channel – Toggle between curved or regular trend slope behavior.
Base Step (× ATR) – The starting point for curved slope progression.
Growth per Bar (× ATR) – How much the slope accelerates per bar during a sustained trend.
Slope – Reactivity of the standard trend line to price movements.
Multiplicative Factor – Sensitivity adjustment for HyperTrend slope.
Candle Trend Length – Lookback period for trend determination from candle structure.

CNN Statistical Trading System [PhenLabs]📌 DESCRIPTION
An advanced pattern recognition system utilizing Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) principles to identify statistically significant market patterns and generate high-probability trading signals.
CNN Statistical Trading System transforms traditional technical analysis by applying machine learning concepts directly to price action. Through six specialized convolution kernels, it detects momentum shifts, reversal patterns, consolidation phases, and breakout setups simultaneously. The system combines these pattern detections using adaptive weighting based on market volatility and trend strength, creating a sophisticated composite score that provides both directional bias and signal confidence on a normalized -1 to +1 scale.
🚀 CONCEPTS
• Built on Convolutional Neural Network pattern recognition methodology adapted for financial markets
• Six specialized kernels detect distinct price patterns: upward/downward momentum, peak/trough formations, consolidation, and breakout setups
• Activation functions create non-linear responses with tanh-like behavior, mimicking neural network layers
• Adaptive weighting system adjusts pattern importance based on current market regime (volatility < 2% and trend strength)
• Multi-confirmation signals require CNN threshold breach (±0.65), RSI boundaries, and volume confirmation above 120% of 20-period average
🔧 FEATURES
Six-Kernel Pattern Detection:
Simultaneous analysis of upward momentum, downward momentum, peak/resistance, trough/support, consolidation, and breakout patterns using mathematically optimized convolution kernels.
Adaptive Neural Architecture:
Dynamic weight adjustment based on market volatility (ATR/Price) and trend strength (EMA differential), ensuring optimal performance across different market conditions.
Professional Visual Themes:
Four sophisticated color palettes (Professional, Ocean, Sunset, Monochrome) with cohesive design language. Default Monochrome theme provides clean, distraction-free analysis.
Confidence Band System:
Upper and lower confidence zones at 150% of threshold values (±0.975) help identify high-probability signal areas and potential exhaustion zones.

IU Pivot Zones + GMADESCRIPTION:
IU Pivot Zones + GMA is a smart price-action-based indicator that detects meaningful support and resistance zones formed through pivot highs/lows while combining them with dynamic zone generation and Geometric Moving Averages (GMA). This tool is built to help traders visualize institutional breakout/rejection zones with clear, logical mapping and live box management — helping you stay ahead of the move.
The indicator is designed for intraday, swing, and positional traders who want to enhance their trading decisions with visual confluence zones and market structure logic.
USER INPUTS
* Pivot point Lengths: Number of bars used to detect pivot highs/lows
* Zone length: Controls the thickness of the support/resistance zone; higher values create wider zones
* GMA Length: Period for calculating the geometric moving averages based on highs and lows
* Allow Bar/candle Color: Enables or disables special candle coloring when price interacts with the zones
LOGIC OF THE INDICATOR:
* Detects pivot highs and pivot lows using the user-defined length
* Compares consecutive pivot levels to determine if they fall within a valid ATR-based price band to form a zone
* If confirmed, the indicator dynamically plots a resistance or support box between those pivot points, colored respectively (red for resistance, green for support)
* The boxes update in real-time based on price action. If price respects the zone, the box extends forward. If price breaks the zone, the box disappears
* Geometric Moving Averages (GMA) based on logarithmic mean of highs and lows are plotted to offer a trend bias
* Candles that touch the top of the support zone are colored yellow, and those touching the bottom of the resistance zone are orange, enhancing zone reaction visibility
WHY IT IS UNIQUE:
* Uses logarithmic-based GMAs, which are smoother and less reactive than traditional moving averages
* ATR-based zone logic makes it adaptive to volatility instead of using fixed-width zones
* Combines structural levels (pivots), volatility filters (ATR), and trend overlays (GMA) in one unified tool
* Real-time zone extension and disappearance logic based on price interaction
HOW USER CAN BENEFIT FROM IT:
* Spot high-probability breakout or reversal zones that price respects consistently
* Use the GMA cloud for trend confirmation — for example, bullish bias when price is above both GMAs
* Build price action strategies around zone touches, breakouts, or rejections
* Use color-coded candles as real-time alerts for potential entry/exit signals near S/R levels
* Save time by avoiding manual marking of zones on charts across timeframes

[Kpt-Ahab] Poor Mans Orderflow SimulatorScript Description – Poor Mans Orderflow Simulator
Purpose of the Script
This script simulates a simplified order flow approach ("Poor Man's Orderflow") without access to actual Bid/Ask data. The goal is to detect, quantify, and visualize patterns such as absorption, impulsive moves, and structured re-entry behaviors.
Calculation Logic
Absorption Candles
A candle is classified as "absorption" if:
The ratio of body size to full candle range is below a defined threshold,
Volume is significantly higher than the average of the last N periods,
The candle direction is negative (for long absorption) or positive (for short absorption).
These conditions define a candle with high activity but minimal price movement in the respective direction.
Impulse Candles
A candle is classified as "impulse" if:
The body-to-range ratio is high (indicating a strong directional move),
Volume exceeds the average significantly,
The price closes in the direction of the candle body (bullish or bearish).
Additionally, the average range of previous candles serves as a minimum benchmark for the impulse.
Cluster Detection
A cluster is detected when:
A minimum number of absorption candles is counted within a defined lookback period,
Either the long or short version of the absorption logic is used,
The result is a binary condition: cluster active or inactive.
Entry Signals (Re-entry)
An entry signal is generated when:
One or more absorption candles occurred in the last two bars,
A pullback against the direction of absorption occurs,
The current candle shows a directional move confirmed by a close in the expected direction.
These re-entry signals are evaluated separately for long and short scenarios.
Cluster-Confirmed Signals
A separate signal is generated when a valid re-entry setup occurs while a cluster is active. This represents a combined logic condition.
Alert Logic
The script provides a multi-layer alert framework:
Signal selection (Alertmode):
The user defines which signal type should trigger an alert (e.g. re-entry only, cluster only, combination, or impulse).
Optional filter (Filtermode):
A secondary filter limits alerts to cases where an additional condition (e.g. absorption cluster) is active.
Signal output:
As a simple binary value (+1 / –1) for classic alerts,
Or via an encoded Multibit signal, compatible with other modules in the djmad ecosystem.
These alerts are intended for integration with external systems or for use within platform-native visual or automation features.
SMT Divergence [Dova Lazarus]Title: SMT
Description:
The SMT (Smart Money Technique) indicator is designed to help traders identify potential divergences between correlated assets, a key concept used in smart money trading strategies. It compares price action across two or more instruments to reveal hidden strength or weakness that may not be visible on a single chart.
Key Features:
Custom asset selection: Compare your main chart with any other TradingView symbol (e.g., BTC/USD vs. ETH/USD).
Real-time SMT divergence detection: Highlights potential bullish or bearish divergences when one asset makes a higher high/lower low while the other does not.
Visual markers: Plots intuitive visual cues directly on the chart to signal divergence.
Configurable timeframes: Use on any timeframe for both intraday and swing trading setups.
How to Use:
Select your base symbol (e.g., BTCUSD) on the chart.
In the indicator settings, choose a comparison symbol (e.g., ETHUSD).
Look for divergence signals:
Bearish SMT Divergence: Base symbol makes a higher high, comparison symbol fails to make a higher high → possible sell signal.
Bullish SMT Divergence: Base symbol makes a lower low, comparison symbol fails to make a lower low → possible buy signal.
This tool is ideal for traders following ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts or anyone interested in identifying smart money manipulation and market inefficiencies.
Buying/Selling ProxyTiltFolio Buying/Selling Proxy
This simple but effective indicator visualizes short-term buying or selling pressure using log returns over a rolling window.
How It Works:
Calculates the average of logarithmic returns over the past N bars (default: 20).
Positive values suggest sustained buying pressure; negative values indicate selling pressure.
Plotted as a color-coded histogram:
✅ Green = net buying
❌ Red = net selling
Why Use It:
This proxy helps traders gauge directional bias and momentum beneath the surface of price action — especially useful for confirming breakout strength, timing entries, or filtering signals.
- Inspired by academic return normalization, but optimized for practical use.
- Use alongside TiltFolio's Breakout Trend indicator for added context.
PLR-Z For Loop🧠 Overview
PLR-Z For Loop is a trend-following indicator built on the Power Law Residual Z-score model of Bitcoin price behavior. By measuring how far price deviates from a long-term power law regression and applying a custom scoring loop, this tool identifies consistent directional pressure in market structure. Designed for BTC, this indicator helps traders align with macro trends.
🧩 Key Features
Power Law Residual Model: Tracks deviations of BTC price from its long-term logarithmic growth curve.
Z-Score Normalization: Applies long-horizon statistical normalization (400/1460 bars) to smooth residual deviations into a usable trend signal.
Loop-Based Trend Filter: Iteratively scores how often the current Z-score exceeds prior values, emphasizing trend persistence over volatility.
Optional Smoothing: Toggleable exponential smoothing helps filter noise in choppier market conditions.
Directional Regime Coloring: Aqua (bullish) and Red (bearish) visuals reinforce trend alignment across plots and candles.
🔍 How It Works
Power Law Curve: Price is compared against a logarithmic regression model fitted to historical BTC price evolution (starting July 2010), defining structural support, resistance, and centerline levels.
Residual Z-Score: The residual is calculated as the log-difference between price and the power law center.
This residual is then normalized using a rolling mean (400 days) and standard deviation (1460 days) to create a long-term Z-score.
Loop Scoring Logic:
A loop compares the current Z-score to a configurable number of past bars.
Each higher comparison adds +1, and each lower one subtracts -1.
The result is a trend persistence score (z_loop) that grows with consistent directional momentum.
Smoothing Option: A user-defined EMA smooths the score, if enabled, to reduce short-term signal noise.
Signal Logic:
Long signal when trend score exceeds long_threshold.
Short signal when score drops below short_threshold.
Directional State (CD): Internally manages the current market regime (1 = long, -1 = short), controlling all visual output.
🔁 Use Cases & Applications
Macro Trend Alignment: Ideal for traders and analysts tracking Bitcoin’s structural momentum over long timeframes.
Trend Persistence Filter: Helps confirm whether the current move is part of a sustained trend or short-lived volatility.
Best Suited for BTC: Built specifically on the BNC BLX price history and Bitcoin’s power law behavior. Not designed for use with other assets.
✅ Conclusion
PLR-Z For Loop reframes Bitcoin’s long-term power law model into a trend-following tool by scoring the persistence of deviations above or below fair value. It shifts the focus from valuation-based mean reversion to directional momentum, making it a valuable signal for traders seeking high-conviction participation in BTC’s broader market cycles.

Auto Fractal [theUltimator5]This indicator is what I call the Auto Fractal. It is a unique algorithm that looks back in time, finds a segment on the chart that closest matches the recent price action, then projects the price forwards. It effectively finds chart patterns and shows you what the price did the last time the same/similar chart pattern was observed.
Creating an algorithm to match abstract curves to other abstract curves and provide a confidence score was the fundamental problem that needed to be solved in order to create this indicator, which curve matches with surprising accuracy.
The most effective method to "curve match" that I found is the Pearson Coefficient, set by a segment length and a lookback period. After the highest coefficient curve is located, the curve then gets scaled and offset to match the current price.
The past segment is drawn over the current price (orange line), giving a visualization of the two curves and how closely they match each other. The indicator then projects the price forwards in time based on the price action of the chart from the historical segment (dashed fuchsia line).
A bounding box also gets drawn around the historical segment to give you a clear visual of where the price is getting pulled from for proper analysis and ease of use.
The Pearson Coefficient % is shown in a table in the top right-hand corner of the chart and can be toggled off if desired. The values range from -100% (perfectly inverse correlation) to +100% (perfectly correlated) with 0 meaning no correlation whatsoever. The closer to +100% the value is, the better the segment match.
As with most/all of my indicators, user interface and simplicity was at the top of my priority list. I designed this to be easily readable and intuitive to both novice and veteran traders, without cluttering the chart.
Note:
This indicator is extremely heavy in terms of memory usage due to nested for loops, and takes several seconds to initially load the chart overlay. If the lookback period is increased too high (>600) then the indicator may time out and fail to load anything. If nothing loads on the chart, try reducing the lookback length and wait up to 10 seconds for lines to appear.
Demand Index (Hybrid Sibbet) by TradeQUODemand Index (Hybrid Sibbet) by TradeQUO \
\Overview\
The Demand Index (DI) was introduced by James Sibbet in the early 1990s to gauge “real” buying versus selling pressure by combining price‐change information with volume intensity. Unlike pure price‐based oscillators (e.g. RSI or MACD), the DI highlights moves backed by above‐average volume—helping traders distinguish genuine demand/supply from false breakouts or low‐liquidity noise.
\Calculation\
\
\ \Step 1: Weighted Price (P)\
For each bar t, compute a weighted price:
```
Pₜ = Hₜ + Lₜ + 2·Cₜ
```
where Hₜ=High, Lₜ=Low, Cₜ=Close of bar t.
Also compute Pₜ₋₁ for the prior bar.
\ \Step 2: Raw Range (R)\
Calculate the two‐bar range:
```
Rₜ = max(Hₜ, Hₜ₋₁) – min(Lₜ, Lₜ₋₁)
```
This Rₜ is used indirectly in the exponential dampener below.
\ \Step 3: Normalize Volume (VolNorm)\
Compute an EMA of volume over n₁ bars (e.g. n₁=13):
```
EMA_Volₜ = EMA(Volume, n₁)ₜ
```
Then
```
VolNormₜ = Volumeₜ / EMA_Volₜ
```
If EMA\_Volₜ ≈ 0, set VolNormₜ to a small default (e.g. 0.0001) to avoid division‐by‐zero.
\ \Step 4: BuyPower vs. SellPower\
Calculate “raw” BuyPowerₜ and SellPowerₜ depending on whether Pₜ > Pₜ₋₁ (bullish) or Pₜ < Pₜ₋₁ (bearish). Use an exponential dampener factor Dₜ to moderate extreme moves when true range is small. Specifically:
• If Pₜ > Pₜ₋₁,
```
BuyPowerₜ = (VolNormₜ) / exp
```
otherwise
```
BuyPowerₜ = VolNormₜ.
```
• If Pₜ < Pₜ₋₁,
```
SellPowerₜ = (VolNormₜ) / exp
```
otherwise
```
SellPowerₜ = VolNormₜ.
```
Here, H₀ and L₀ are the very first bar’s High/Low—used to calibrate the scale of the dampening. If the denominator of the exponential is near zero, substitute a small epsilon (e.g. 1e-10).
\ \Step 5: Smooth Buy/Sell Power\
Apply a short EMA (n₂ bars, typically n₂=2) to each:
```
EMA_Buyₜ = EMA(BuyPower, n₂)ₜ
EMA_Sellₜ = EMA(SellPower, n₂)ₜ
```
\ \Step 6: Raw Demand Index (DI\_raw)\
```
DI_rawₜ = EMA_Buyₜ – EMA_Sellₜ
```
A positive DI\_raw indicates that buying force (normalized by volume) exceeds selling force; a negative value indicates the opposite.
\ \Step 7: Optional EMA Smoothing on DI (DI)\
To reduce choppiness, compute an EMA over DI\_raw (n₃ bars, e.g. n₃ = 1–5):
```
DIₜ = EMA(DI_raw, n₃)ₜ.
```
If n₃ = 1, DI = DI\_raw (no further smoothing).
\
\Interpretation\
\
\ \Crossing Zero Line\
• DI\_raw (or DI) crossing from below to above zero signals that cumulative buying pressure (over the chosen smoothing window) has overcome selling pressure—potential Long signal.
• Crossing from above to below zero signals dominant selling pressure—potential Short signal.
\ \DI\_raw vs. DI (EMA)\
• When DI\_raw > DI (the EMA of DI\_raw), bullish momentum is accelerating.
• When DI\_raw < DI, bullish momentum is weakening (or bearish acceleration).
\ \Divergences\
• If price makes new highs while DI fails to make higher highs (DI\_raw or DI declining), this hints at weakening buying power (“bearish divergence”), possibly preceding a reversal.
• If price makes new lows while DI fails to make lower lows (“bullish divergence”), this may signal waning selling pressure and a potential bounce.
\ \Volume Confirmation\
• A strong price move without a corresponding rise in DI often indicates low‐volume “fake” moves.
• Conversely, a modest price move with a large DI spike suggests true institutional participation—often a more reliable breakout.
\
\Usage Notes & Warnings\
\
\ \Never Use DI in Isolation\
It is a \filter\ and \confirmation\ tool—combine with price‐action (trendlines, support/resistance, candlestick patterns) and risk management (stop‐losses) before executing trades.
\ \Parameter Selection\
• \Vol EMA length (n₁)\: Commonly 13–20 bars. Shorter → more responsive to volume spikes, but noisier.
• \Buy/Sell EMA length (n₂)\: Typically 2 bars for fast smoothing.
• \DI smoothing (n₃)\: Usually 1 (no smoothing) or 3–5 for moderate smoothing. Long DI\_EMA (e.g. 20–50) gives a slower signal.
\ \Market Adaptation\
Works well in liquid futures, indices, and heavily traded stocks. In thinly traded or highly erratic markets, adjust n₁ upward (e.g., 20–30) to reduce noise.
---
\In Summary\
The Demand Index (James Sibbet) uses a three‐stage smoothing (volume → Buy/Sell Power → DI) to reveal true demand/supply imbalance. By combining normalized volume with price change, Sibbet’s DI helps traders identify momentum backed by real participation—filtering out “empty” moves and spotting early divergences. Always confirm DI signals with price action and sound risk controls before trading.
