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.

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.

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.
3 Bar Reversal3 Bar Reversal
This pattern is described in John Carter's "Mastering the Trade"
The 3 Bar Reversal indicator is a simple but effective price action tool designed to highlight potential short-term reversals in market direction. It monitors consecutive bar behavior and identifies turning points based on a three-bar pattern. This tool can assist traders in spotting trend exhaustion or early signs of a reversal, particularly in scalping or short-term trading strategies.
How It Works
This indicator analyzes the relationship between consecutive bar closes:
It counts how many bars have passed since the price closed higher than the previous close (barssince(close >= close )) — referred to as an "up streak".
It also counts how many bars have passed since the price closed lower than the previous close (barssince(close <= close )) — known as a "down streak".
A reversal condition is met when:
There have been exactly 3 bars in a row moving in one direction (up or down), and
The 4th bar closes in the opposite direction.
When this condition is detected, the script performs two actions:
Plots a triangle on the chart to signal the potential reversal:
A green triangle below the bar for a possible long (buy) opportunity.
A red triangle above the bar for a possible short (sell) opportunity.
Triggers an alert condition so users can set notifications for when a reversal is detected.
Interpretation
Long Signal: The market has printed 3 consecutive lower closes, followed by a higher close — suggesting bullish momentum may be emerging.
Short Signal: The market has printed 3 consecutive higher closes, followed by a lower close — indicating possible bearish momentum.
These patterns are common in market retracements and can act as confirmation signals when used with other indicators such as RSI, MACD, support/resistance, or volume analysis.
Usage Examples
Scalping: Use the reversal signal to quickly enter short-term trades after a short-term exhaustion move.
Swing Trading: Combine this with trend indicators (e.g., moving averages) to time pullbacks within larger trends.
Confirmation Tool: Use this indicator alongside candlestick patterns or support/resistance zones to validate entry or exit points.
Alert Setup: Enable alerts based on the built-in alertcondition to receive instant notifications for potential trade setups.
Limitations
The 3-bar reversal logic does not guarantee a trend change; it signals potential reversals, which may need confirmation.
Best used in conjunction with broader context such as trend direction, market structure, or other technical indicators.

Adaptive Volume‐Demand‐Index (AVDI)Demand Index (according to James Sibbet) – Short Description
The Demand Index (DI) was developed by James Sibbet to measure real “buying” vs. “selling” strength (Demand vs. Supply) using price and volume data. It is not a standalone trading signal, but rather a filter and trend confirmer that should always be used together with chart structure and additional indicators.
---
\ 1. Calculation Basis\
1. Volume Normalization
$$
\text{normVol}_t
= \frac{\text{Volume}_t}{\mathrm{EMA}(\text{Volume},\,n_{\text{Vol}})_t}
\quad(\text{e.g., }n_{\text{Vol}} = 13)
$$
This smooths out extremely high volume spikes and compares them to the average (≈ 1 means “average volume”).
2. Price Factor
$$
\text{priceFactor}_t
= \frac{\text{Close}_t - \text{Open}_t}{\text{Open}_t}.
$$
Positive values for bullish bars, negative for bearish bars.
3. Component per Bar
$$
\text{component}_t
= \text{normVol}_t \times \text{priceFactor}_t.
$$
If volume is above average (> 1) and the price rises slightly, this yields a noticeably positive value; conversely if the price falls.
4. Raw DI (Rolling Sum)
Over a window of \$w\$ bars (e.g., 20):
$$
\text{RawDI}_t
= \sum_{i=0}^{w-1} \text{component}_{\,t-i}.
$$
Alternatively, recursively for \$t \ge w\$:
$$
\text{RawDI}_t
= \text{RawDI}_{t-1}
+ \text{component}_t
- \text{component}_{\,t-w}.
$$
5. Optional EMA Smoothing
An EMA over RawDI (e.g., \$n\_{\text{DI}} = 50\$) reduces short-term fluctuations and highlights medium-term trends:
$$
\text{EMA\_DI}_t
= \mathrm{EMA}(\text{RawDI},\,n_{\text{DI}})_t.
$$
6.Zero Line
Handy guideline:
RawDI > 0: Accumulated buying power dominates.
RawDI < 0: Accumulated selling power dominates.
2. Interpretation & Application
Crossing Zero
RawDI above zero → Indication of increasing buying pressure (potential long signal).
RawDI below zero → Indication of increasing selling pressure (potential short signal).
Not to be used alone for entry—always confirm with price action.
RawDI vs. EMA_DI
RawDI > EMA\_DI → Acceleration of demand.
RawDI < EMA\_DI → Weakening of demand.
Divergences
Price makes a new high, RawDI does not make a higher high → potential weakness in the uptrend.
Price makes a new low, RawDI does not make a lower low → potential exhaustion of the downtrend.
3. Typical Signals (for Beginners)
\ 1. Long Setup\
RawDI crosses zero from below,
RawDI > EMA\_DI (acceleration),
Price closes above a short-term swing high or resistance.
Stop-Loss: just below the last swing low, Take-Profit/Trailing: on reversal signals or fixed R\:R.
2. Short Setup
RawDI crosses zero from above,
RawDI < EMA\_DI (increased selling pressure),
Price closes below a short-term swing low or support.
Stop-Loss: just above the last swing high.
---
4. Notes and Parameters
Recommended Values (Beginners):
Volume EMA (n₍Vol₎) = 13
RawDI window (w) = 20
EMA over DI (n₍DI₎) = 50 (medium-term) or 1 (no smoothing)
Attention:\
NEVER use in isolation. Always in combination with price action analysis (trendlines, support/resistance, candlestick patterns).
Especially during volatile news phases, RawDI can fluctuate strongly → EMA\_DI helps to avoid false signals.
---
Conclusion The Demand Index by James Sibbet is a powerful filter to assess price movements by their volume backing. It shows whether a rally is truly driven by demand or merely a short-term volume anomaly. In combination with classic chart analysis and risk management, it helps to identify robust entry points and potential trend reversals earlier.
FVG Range Filter0x278's FVG Range Filter
Overview
The FVG Range Filter is a TradingView indicator designed to identify and display Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on your chart. FVGs are areas of price imbalance that often act as significant zones for potential price retracement or reversal. This indicator filters out irrelevant gaps, showing only those that are within a specified price range and time frame, making it easier to focus on high-probability trading opportunities.
This guide is crafted to help both novice and experienced traders understand how to use this indicator effectively, even if you're new to the concept of FVG trading. We'll cover what FVGs are, how the indicator works, how to interpret its visual elements, and how to apply it in various trading scenarios.
What are Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)?
Fair Value Gaps occur when the price of an asset moves so quickly in one direction that it leaves a 'gap' or 'void' on the chart where no trading activity occurred. These gaps represent areas of imbalance between supply and demand, often created by strong buying or selling pressure. Traders use FVGs to identify potential areas where price might return to 'fill' the gap, offering opportunities for entries or exits.
Bullish FVG : This happens when price jumps upward, leaving a gap below. It suggests strong buying pressure and often acts as a support zone when price retraces.
Bearish FVG : This occurs when price drops sharply, leaving a gap above. It indicates strong selling pressure and often acts as a resistance zone when price retraces.
How the FVG Range Filter Works
The FVG Range Filter indicator automatically detects these gaps based on a specific three-bar pattern that identifies significant price imbalances. It then applies filters to ensure only relevant FVGs are displayed:
Range Filter : Only shows FVGs whose midpoint is within a user-defined percentage of the current price. This keeps the focus on gaps that are close enough to be actionable.
Time Filter : Only displays FVGs that are younger than a specified number of bars, ensuring you're looking at recent and relevant price action.
Invalidation : Once the price trades through the midpoint of an FVG, the gap is considered 'filled' or invalidated, and it is removed from the chart.
This filtering mechanism declutters your chart, highlighting only the most pertinent FVGs for your trading decisions.
Indicator Settings
The FVG Range Filter offers customizable inputs to tailor its behavior to your trading style:
Display Range (%) : This sets the percentage range from the current price within which FVGs are shown. A lower value (e.g., 1.0%) shows only gaps very close to the current price, while a higher value (e.g., 5.0%) includes gaps further away. Default is 1.0%.
Look-back Bars : This determines how far back in time the indicator looks for FVGs. It also limits how long a gap remains visible if it hasn't been invalidated. Default is 1000 bars.
Show Bullish FVGs : Toggle to display bullish FVGs (green boxes by default). Default is enabled.
Show Bearish FVGs : Toggle to display bearish FVGs (red boxes by default). Default is enabled.
Box Opacity (0-100) : Adjusts the transparency of the FVG boxes on the chart. A value of 0 is fully transparent (invisible), while 100 is fully opaque. Default is 33 for a subtle appearance.
Visual Elements and Interpretation
The indicator draws rectangular boxes on your chart to represent FVGs. Understanding these visual elements is key to using the indicator effectively:
Green Boxes : Represent bullish FVGs. These are areas where price gapped upward, suggesting potential support zones. If price retraces to this area, it might bounce off as buyers step in to defend the level.
Red Boxes : Represent bearish FVGs. These are areas where price gapped downward, indicating potential resistance zones. If price retraces to this area, it might face selling pressure and reverse downward.
Box Position and Extension : Each box starts at the bar where the FVG was detected and extends to the right, updating dynamically as new bars form. This extension helps maintain visibility until the gap is either invalidated or falls out of the look-back period.
Disappearance of Boxes : A box disappears from the chart in two scenarios:
Price Moves Away : If the midpoint of the FVG moves outside the specified display range percentage from the current price, or if the FVG becomes older than the look-back bars limit, the box is removed (though the gap data persists in memory for potential re-display if conditions are met again).
Invalidation : If price trades through the midpoint of the FVG (i.e., the low of a candle goes below the midpoint for a bullish FVG, or the high goes above the midpoint for a bearish FVG), the gap is considered filled, and the box is permanently removed from the chart.
Trading Scenarios with FVG Range Filter
Below are detailed trading scenarios to help you understand how to use the FVG Range Filter in practical situations. These scenarios assume you're trading with the trend or looking for reversals at key levels.
Scenario 1: Bullish FVG as Support for Long Entry
Setup : You're trading a stock in an uptrend on a 15-minute chart. The FVG Range Filter displays a green box (bullish FVG) after a sharp upward move earlier in the day.
Interpretation : This green box indicates a zone of imbalance where price gapped up, likely due to strong buying interest. Since it's still within the display range and look-back period, it's a relevant support zone.
Action : Wait for price to retrace back to the top edge of the green box. Look for confirmation of support, such as a bullish candlestick pattern (e.g., hammer or engulfing) or increased volume, indicating buyers are stepping in.
Entry : Enter a long position near the top of the FVG box, setting a stop-loss just below the bottom of the box to protect against a breakdown.
Target : Aim for the next resistance level or a predefined risk-reward ratio (e.g., 1:2). If another bullish FVG forms above, consider that as a potential target.
Exit : Exit the trade if price breaks below the bottom of the FVG (invalidation), or if the box disappears due to price trading through the midpoint, signaling the gap is filled.
Scenario 2: Bearish FVG as Resistance for Short Entry
Setup : You're trading a cryptocurrency on a 1-hour chart during a downtrend. The indicator shows a red box (bearish FVG) after a sharp downward move a few hours ago.
Interpretation : The red box marks a zone where price gapped down, indicating strong selling pressure. As long as it's within the display range and look-back period, it remains a potential resistance zone.
Action : Wait for price to rally back to the bottom edge of the red box. Look for signs of rejection, such as a bearish candlestick pattern (e.g., shooting star or engulfing) or decreasing volume, suggesting sellers are defending this level.
Entry : Enter a short position near the bottom of the FVG box, placing a stop-loss just above the top of the box to guard against a breakout.
Target : Target the next support level or a favorable risk-reward ratio. If a new bearish FVG appears below, it could serve as a potential target.
Exit : Exit if price breaks above the top of the FVG (invalidation), or if the box disappears because price has traded through the midpoint, indicating the gap is no longer relevant.
Scenario 3: Filtering Out Irrelevant FVGs During Choppy Markets
Setup : You're trading forex on a 5-minute chart during a period of consolidation with no clear trend. The chart shows frequent small price jumps, but the FVG Range Filter displays very few boxes.
Interpretation : The indicator is filtering out FVGs that are either too far from the current price (outside the display range percentage) or too old (beyond the look-back bars). This helps avoid false signals in a non-trending market.
Action : Recognize that the absence of FVGs on the chart suggests no high-probability setups at the moment. Avoid forcing trades based on minor price movements that don't meet the filter criteria.
Entry : Wait for a clear trend to emerge and for new FVGs to appear within the filter parameters before considering any trades.
Target/Exit : Follow the trend direction once FVGs are displayed, using the edges of the boxes as potential entry or exit zones as described in the previous scenarios.
Scenario 4: Using FVGs for Risk Management
Setup : You're already in a long position on an index futures contract on a 30-minute chart, and the FVG Range Filter shows a green box below your entry point.
Interpretation : The green box represents a bullish FVG that could act as a support zone. Since price hasn't yet reached the midpoint (which would invalidate the FVG), it remains a valid reference point for managing risk.
Action : Adjust your stop-loss to just below the bottom of the green box. This placement uses the FVG as a logical invalidation level, assuming that a break below this support zone negates the bullish premise of your trade.
Entry : No new entry is needed since you're already in the trade.
Target/Exit : Keep your original target unless a new bearish FVG forms above, which might indicate resistance. Exit if price breaks below the FVG or if the box disappears due to invalidation.
Tips for Using the FVG Range Filter
Combine with Trend Analysis : FVGs are most effective when traded in the direction of the prevailing trend. Use higher timeframe analysis or other indicators to confirm the overall market direction before acting on FVGs.
Adjust Settings for Market Conditions : In volatile markets (like cryptocurrencies), you might increase the display range percentage to capture more FVGs. In less volatile markets (like certain stocks), a tighter range might be more appropriate.
Timeframe Selection : The indicator works on all timeframes, but lower timeframes (1-15 minutes) might show more frequent FVGs for scalping, while higher timeframes (1-4 hours) are better for swing trading with larger, more significant gaps.
Confirmation Tools : Don't rely solely on FVGs for entries. Use additional confirmation from price action (candlestick patterns), volume, or other indicators to increase the probability of success.
Monitor Invalidation : If an FVG box disappears from the chart due to price trading through its midpoint, consider it a signal that the gap is no longer relevant. Adjust your strategy accordingly.
Limitations
Not a Standalone System : The FVG Range Filter identifies potential zones of interest but does not provide entry signals, stop-loss, or take-profit levels on its own. It should be used as part of a broader trading strategy.
Market Conditions : FVGs may be less effective in strongly trending markets where price doesn't retrace to fill gaps, or in very choppy markets where too many small gaps are filtered out.
Lag in Detection : Since FVGs are based on a three-bar pattern, there is a slight delay in identifying them after the price movement has occurred.
Good Luck!
The FVG Range Filter is a powerful tool for traders looking to capitalize on price imbalances in the market. By focusing only on relevant Fair Value Gaps within a specified range and time frame, it helps declutter your chart and highlights high-probability zones for potential trades. Whether you're new to FVG trading or an experienced trader, this indicator can enhance your analysis by visually identifying key areas of support and resistance based on market inefficiencies.
Experiment with the settings to match your trading style and market conditions, and always combine the indicator's insights with other forms of analysis for the best results. Happy trading!
Directional Strength IndexThis indicator is designed to detect the dominant market direction and quantify its strength by aggregating signals across six key timeframes: 1H, 4H, 1D, 3D, 1W, and 1M.
At its core, it uses a SMEMA 'the Simple Moving Average of an EMA' as the main trend reference. This hybrid smoothing method was chosen for its balance: the EMA ensures responsiveness to recent price moves, while the SMA dampens short-term volatility. This makes the SMEMA more stable than a raw EMA and more reactive than a simple SMA, especially in noisy or volatile environments.
For each timeframe, a score between -10 and +10 is calculated. This score reflects:
- the distance of the price from the SMEMA, using ATR as a dynamic threshold
- the number of price deviations above or below the SMEMA
- the slope of the SMEMA, which adjusts the score based on momentum
These six timeframe scores are then combined into a single Global Score, using weighted averages. Three weighting profiles are available depending on your trading horizon:
- Long Term: emphasizes weekly and monthly data
- Swing Trading: gives balanced importance to all timeframes
- Short Term: prioritizes 1H and 4H action
This multi-timeframe aggregation makes the indicator adaptable to different styles while maintaining a consistent logic.
The result is displayed in a table on the chart, showing:
- the trend direction per timeframe (up, down or neutral)
- the strength score per timeframe
- the overall trend direction and strength based on the selected profile
Optional deviation bands based on ATR multiples are also plotted to provide visual context for overextensions relative to the SMEMA.
This indicator is non-repainting and built for objective, trend-based decision making.
Treasury 5HTreasury 5H Indicator Description for TradingView
Uncover Market Signals with Integrated and Exclusive Analysis
Introducing the Treasury 5H, an advanced and highly customizable technical analysis tool for traders seeking a deeper, more integrated view of the market. This robust indicator has been meticulously developed to combine the strength of established technical indicators with the intelligence of two proprietary and exclusive components: the Treasury Oscillator and Multi-Asset Correlation. The result is a powerful system that delivers buy and sell signals based on the confluence of multiple analyses, providing a unique perspective not found in other available tools.
A Symphony of Technical Indicators
The Treasury 5H harmonizes different analytical approaches to capture various facets of price movement. It incorporates classic indicators like the DMI (Directional Movement Index), ideal for identifying trend direction and strength, allowing you to filter out noise and focus on more significant movements. Alongside the DMI, the indicator utilizes the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), a versatile momentum oscillator that helps detect changes in the strength, direction, and duration of a trend. Complementing the trend and momentum analysis, a configurable Moving Average (SMA, EMA, WMA, or VWMA) provides a dynamic baseline to assess the current price position, helping to confirm the prevailing market direction.
The Exclusive Advantage: Treasury Oscillator and Multi-Asset Correlation
The true differentiator of the Treasury 5H lies in its exclusive components, developed in-house and unavailable on any other platform. The Treasury Oscillator is an innovation that allows you to compare the normalized performance of the main asset you are analyzing with up to three other assets of your choice, such as treasury bonds (Treasuries), currencies, or other relevant indices. By calculating a standard deviation score for each asset relative to its averages, the oscillator identifies performance divergences and convergences, offering valuable insights into relative strength and potential inflection points that isolated indicators might miss.
Additionally, the Multi-Asset Correlation indicator offers another layer of exclusive intermarket analysis. It calculates and compares the normalized percentage change of the main asset with up to three other user-selected assets over a defined period. This performance correlation analysis helps understand how the main asset is moving relative to other correlated (or uncorrelated) markets or instruments, providing crucial context about capital flow and overall market sentiment. The combination of these two proprietary indicators offers unprecedented analytical depth.
Unmatched Flexibility and Customization
We understand that every trader and every asset is unique. Therefore, the Treasury 5H was designed with an exceptional level of flexibility. You have full control to individually enable or disable each of the five components (DMI, MACD, Moving Average, Treasury Oscillator, Multi-Asset Correlation), allowing you to tailor the analysis to your specific preferences and strategies. Furthermore, all parameters are adjustable, from the calculation periods of each indicator (DMI, MACD, MAs, Oscillator and Correlation Periods) to reference levels (like the minimum ADX level) and the symbols of the assets to be compared in the proprietary modules. This fine-tuning capability ensures the indicator can be optimized for different assets, timeframes, and market conditions.
To further refine your strategy and increase signal precision, the Treasury 5H includes a powerful configurable trading session filter. This feature allows you to define up to three specific time periods during the day when the indicator's signals will be completely inactive. Use this strategic tool to avoid receiving signals and trading during hours known for low liquidity, unwanted excessive volatility, or simply outside your preferred operating window, ensuring you only act when market conditions are more favorable to your approach. Visual settings are also customizable, allowing you to adjust the colors for buy and sell signals, the transparency of the bar coloring, and the option to show or hide the Moving Average on the chart.
Clear and Integrated Signals
The Treasury 5H generates clear buy or sell signals when all selected and active indicators point in the same direction, ensuring a confluence-based approach for greater robustness. If the time filter is active, signals will only be generated during permitted operating periods. The signal state is visually represented by bar coloring: one color for the initial entry candle (buy or sell), a lighter shade for signal continuation, and optionally, a neutral color for periods defined as inactive. To facilitate monitoring, the indicator includes configurable alerts for new signal entries and when an existing signal is invalidated. Additionally, an information table in the corner of the chart displays the current status (buy, sell, or neutral) of each individual component and the final integrated signal, offering full transparency into the indicator's logic.

The Treasury 5H is not just another indicator; it's a comprehensive analysis system that integrates standard tools with exclusive, proprietary intermarket analyses. Its high degree of customization allows it to be adapted to virtually any trading style and asset. By incorporating the Treasury Oscillator and Multi-Asset Correlation, you gain insights simply unavailable in other tools. Elevate your technical analysis and make more informed trading decisions with the Treasury 5H.
How to Use the Treasury 5H Indicator
The Treasury 5H is designed as a powerful tool to complement and confirm your own market analysis, not as a standalone trading system. The key to extracting maximum value from this indicator lies in its intelligent integration with your personal analytical approach, whether focused on technical, fundamental, macroeconomic aspects, or a combination thereof.
The recommended workflow begins with your in-depth analysis of the asset and market context. Identify potential opportunities, support and resistance levels, trends, and relevant patterns based on your preferred methods. Once you have a clear view and a trade hypothesis, patiently wait for the Treasury 5H to generate a buy or sell signal that aligns with and corroborates your analysis. Always remember: the indicator provides a possible entry signal based on the confluence of active components, but the final decision to execute the trade must always be yours, validated by your own market reading.
When a signal is generated, it is visually highlighted by the bar's color (blue for buy, red for sell, by default). This first opaque colored bar indicates the initial moment of signal confluence. Subsequent bars, with the same color but more transparent, signal that the conditions that generated the initial signal still persist, and the asset is theoretically continuing in the indicated direction. However, how you act after the signal depends on your strategy. Many traders prefer not to enter immediately on the first signal bar but rather wait for additional confirmation, such as a pullback towards the signal bar or a clear breakout above the high (for buys) or below the low (for sells) of that bar. Test and adapt your entry strategy to find what works best for you in conjunction with the Treasury 5H signals.
DualWave Trend Signal [Auto1491]📘 English Description
DualWave Trend Signal is a trend-following indicator based on dual-layer dynamic price zones.
It computes two independent high/low ranges:
Outer Range (Z): a longer-term view of market extremes
Inner Range (Z1): a shorter-term perspective to refine entry/exit signals
The indicator dynamically adjusts two trend lines, then determines whether the price action confirms a bullish, bearish, or neutral trend. BUY and SELL signals are visualized on the chart, and bar colors reflect trend direction for quick reference.
✅ Features:
Dual-band price range logic for trend detection
Dynamic trend line adjustment based on historical highs/lows
Visual buy/sell signals at key inflection points
Color-coded bars: green (bullish), red (bearish), unchanged (neutral)
Real-time label showing the current market condition
🎯 How to Use:
Bullish when close > outer trend AND inner trend
Bearish when close < outer trend AND inner trend
Neutral otherwise
Entry signals appear on the first bar confirming a trend change
Suitable for intraday traders and scalpers in high-volatility markets like gold, forex, and indices.
📙 中文說明
DualWave Trend Signal 是一款基於雙重區間邏輯的趨勢判斷指標，透過動態高低區間辨識市場多空狀態。
本指標計算兩組不同比例的區間：
外層區間（Z）：長期波動參考，捕捉趨勢主幹
內層區間（Z1）：短期變化參考，用於精準進出點
當價格突破這兩條趨勢線，即顯示「多頭」或「空頭」訊號，並將K棒上色，方便用戶快速判斷目前市場狀態。
✅ 特點：
採用雙趨勢帶邏輯（內層＋外層）
根據高低價動態調整趨勢線
明確的買賣訊號圖示
自動變色K棒：綠（多）、紅（空）、不變（盤整）
圖表右上實時顯示「目前趨勢狀態」
🎯 使用方式：
多頭：當收盤價 > 內層與外層趨勢線
空頭：當收盤價 < 內層與外層趨勢線
盤整：未同時突破上述趨勢線
當趨勢轉變時會出現首次進場訊號
適用於黃金、外匯、指數等高波動性市場的日內交易者。
