Best Average Candle SizeThis indicator, named "Best Average Candle Size with Dynamic Midline" (BACS), is designed to provide insights into the average candle size of a financial instrument along with a dynamically adjusting midline. Here's a brief description of its components and functionality:
1. **Average Candle Size**: The indicator calculates the average size of candles over a specified period, which is the absolute difference between the open and close prices. This average candle size is plotted on the chart, helping traders understand the typical price movement within each candle.
2. **Dynamic Midline**: In addition to the average candle size, the indicator computes a dynamic midline. This midline is determined by calculating the moving average of the average candle size over another specified period. The dynamic midline adapts to changes in the average candle size, providing a reference point for assessing deviations from the average.
3. **Volatility Analysis**: The indicator incorporates the Average True Range (ATR) to assess volatility. ATR is plotted alongside the average candle size and the dynamic midline. Traders can compare the average candle size to the ATR to gauge volatility levels. Higher average candle sizes relative to ATR may indicate periods of heightened volatility.
4. **Trend Strength Analysis**: The indicator also evaluates trend strength by comparing the average candle size to its dynamic midline. When the average candle size is above the dynamic midline, it suggests potential trend strength. Traders can use this comparison to assess the strength of price movements and identify potential trend reversal points.
5. **Visualization and Highlighting**: The indicator provides visual representations of the average candle size, dynamic midline, and ATR on the price chart. It also highlights conditions of interest, such as periods of high volatility or strong trend strength, using customizable background colours.
Overall, the "Best Average Candle Size with Dynamic Midline" indicator offers traders a comprehensive view of average candle size dynamics, volatility, and trend strength, aiding in their technical analysis and decision-making processes.

Trend, Momentum, Volume Delta Ratings Emoji RatingsThis indicator provides a visual summary of three key market conditions - Trend, Momentum, and Volume Delta - to help traders quickly assess the current state of the market. The goal is to offer a concise, at-a-glance view of these important technical factors.
Trend (HMA): The indicator uses a Hull Moving Average (HMA) to assess the overall trend direction. If the current price is above the HMA, the trend is considered "Good" or bullish (represented by a 😀 emoji). If the price is below the HMA, the trend is "Bad" or bearish (🤮). If the price is equal to the HMA, the trend is considered "Neutral" (😐).
Momentum (ROC): The Rate of Change (ROC) is used to measure the momentum of the market. A positive ROC indicates "Good" or bullish momentum (😀), a negative ROC indicates "Bad" or bearish momentum (🤮), and a zero ROC is considered "Neutral" (😐).
Volume Delta: The indicator calculates the difference between the current trading volume and a simple moving average of the volume (Volume Delta). If the Volume Delta is above a user-defined threshold, it is considered "Good" or bullish (😀). If the Volume Delta is below the negative of the threshold, it is "Bad" or bearish (🤮). Values within the threshold are considered "Neutral" (😐).
The indicator displays these three ratings in a compact table format in the top-right corner of the chart. The table uses color-coding to quickly convey the overall market conditions - green for "Good", red for "Bad", and gray for "Neutral".
This indicator can be useful for traders who want a concise, at-a-glance view of the current market trend, momentum, and volume activity. By combining these three technical factors, traders can get a more well-rounded understanding of the market conditions and potentially identify opportunities or areas of concern more easily.
The user can customize the indicator by adjusting the lengths of the HMA, ROC, and Volume moving average, as well as the Volume Delta threshold. The colors used in the table can also be customized to suit the trader's preferences.

TrendVista Swing IndicatorOverview
The swing indicator is designed to offer traders a comprehensive analysis of market trends and volatility by integrating Bollinger Bands and the Average True Range (ATR). It aids in the visualization of price movements and volatility across multiple time frames, thereby providing insights into potential buy and sell opportunities.
Key Features
- Multitimeframe Analysis : By default, the indicator examines the market across the following time frames: 1 Day (1D), 4 Hours (4H), 1 Hour (1H), and 15 Minutes (15min). Users have the flexibility to modify these time frames to suit their trading strategy by adjusting the indicator's settings.
- Buy and Sell Timings : The indicator identifies optimal buy signals when the price drops below the lower Bollinger Band and subsequently re-enters the band's range. Additionally, a buy signal is generated during high volatility periods—signified by the ATR exceeding its 10-day average—helping traders spot potential liquidation points. Sell signals are tailored for traders looking to exit long positions rather than for initiating short positions.
- Bollinger Bands Phases : The indicator categorizes the market condition into three phases based on Bollinger Bands movement:
- Neutral Phase : When the closing price is within the Bollinger Bands' upper and lower limits.
- Bullish Phase : Signaled by the price closing above the upper Bollinger Band, suggesting an upward trend until the price closes below the middle band.
- Bearish Phase : Initiated when the price closes below the lower Bollinger Band, indicating a downtrend until the price closes above the middle band.
Users can opt to exclude the neutral phase from the analysis through the indicator's settings for a more focused view on bullish or bearish trends.
Indicator Customization
The swing indicator is versatile, allowing users to customize the time frames and phase visibility according to their preferences. This feature ensures that traders can tailor the indicator to match their specific analysis needs and trading strategies.
Considerations
- The signals provided by the swing indicator are not symmetrically designed for both buy and sell actions. The indicator primarily optimizes for identifying long positions, particularly in bull markets. The sell signals are intended for exiting existing long positions rather than for short selling.
Pivot Length BandsPivot Length Bands Indicator
Description:
The Pivot Length Bands indicator is designed to visualize price volatility based on pivot points and ATR-adjusted pivot points. I. These bands can help traders identify potential support and resistance levels and assess the current volatility of the market.
Inputs:
Swing Length: The length of the swing used to calculate the pivot points and average true range.
Pivot Length Left Hand Side: The number of candles to the left of the current pivot point to consider when calculating the pivot high and low.
Pivot Length Right Hand Side: The number of candles to the right of the current pivot point to consider when calculating the pivot high and low.
Usage:
Traders can use the bands as potential levels for placing stop-loss orders or profit targets.
The width of the bands adjusts dynamically based on the current volatility of the market.
Note:
This indicator is best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and should not be relied upon as a standalone trading signal.

MTF BB+KC Avg
Bollinger Bands (BB) are a widely used technical analysis created by John Bollinger in the early 1980’s. Bollinger Bands consist of a band of three lines which are plotted in relation to instrument prices. The line in the middle is usually a Simple Moving Average (SMA) set to a period of 20 days (The type of trend line and period can be changed by the trader; however a 20 day moving average is by far the most popular). This indicator does not plot the middle line. The Upper and Lower Bands are used as a way to measure volatility by observing the relationship between the Bands and price. Typically the Upper and Lower Bands are set to two standard deviations away from the middle line, however the number of standard deviations can also be adjusted in the indicator.
Keltner Channels (KC) are banded lines similar to Bollinger Bands and Moving Average Envelopes. They consist of an Upper Envelope above a Middle Line (not plotted in this indicator) as well as a Lower Envelope below the Middle Line. The Middle Line is a moving average of price over a user-defined time period. Either a simple moving average or an exponential moving average are typically used. The Upper and Lower Envelopes are set a (user-defined multiple) of a range away from the Middle Line. This can be a multiple of the daily high/low range, or more commonly a multiple of the Average True Range.
This indicator is built on AVERAGING the BB and KC values for each bar, so you have an efficient metric of AVERAGE volatility. The indicator visualizes changes in volatility which is of course dynamic.
What to look for
High/Low Prices
One thing that must be understood about this indicator's plots is that it averages by adding BB levels to KC levels and dividing by 2. So the plots provide a relative definition of high and low from two very popular indicators. Prices are almost always within the upper and lower bands. Therefore, when prices move up near the upper or lower bands or even break through the band, many traders would see that price action as OVER-EXTENDED (either overbought or oversold, as applicable). This would preset a possible selling or buying opportunity.
Cycling Between Expansion and Contraction
Volatility can generally be seen as a cycle. Typically periods of time with low volatility and steady or sideways prices (known as contraction) are followed by period of expansion. Expansion is a period of time characterized by high volatility and moving prices. Periods of expansion are then generally followed by periods of contraction. It is a cycle in which traders can be better prepared to navigate by using Bollinger Bands because of the indicators ability to monitor ever changing volatility.
Walking the Bands
Of course, just like with any indicator, there are exceptions to every rule and plenty of examples where what is expected to happen, does not happen. Previously, it was mentioned that price breaking above the Upper Band or breaking below the Lower band could signify a selling or buying opportunity respectively. However this is not always the case. “Walking the Bands” can occur in either a strong uptrend or a strong downtrend.
During a strong uptrend, there may be repeated instances of price touching or breaking through the Upper Band. Each time that this occurs, it is not a sell signal, it is a result of the overall strength of the move. Likewise during a strong downtrend there may be repeated instances of price touching or breaking through the Lower Band. Each time that this occurs, it is not a buy signal, it is a result of the overall strength of the move.
Keep in mind that instances of “Walking the Bands” will only occur in strong, defined uptrends or downtrends.
Inputs
TimeFrame
You can select any timeframe froom 1 minute to 12 months for the bar measured.
Length of the internal moving averages
You can select the period of time to be used in calculating the moving averages which create the base for the Upper and Lower Bands. 20 days is the default.
Basis MA Type
Determines the type of Moving Average that is applied to the basis plot line. Default is SMA and you can select EMA.
Source
Determines what data from each bar will be used in calculations. Close is the default.
StdDev/Multiplier
The number of Standard Deviations (for BB) or Multiplier (for KC) away from the moving averages that the Upper and Lower Bands should be. 2 is the default value for each indicator.
ProTrend Adaptive Indicator by TradingClueThe " ProTrend Adaptive " is an innovative trading indicator, aimed at offering traders an advanced method for detecting market trends with higher precision. This tool ingeniously integrates the principles of the Supertrend indicator with adaptive linear regression channels , enhancing its sensitivity to current market dynamics.
▯ Core Features ▯
✅ Trend Detection
At its heart, the ProTrend Adaptive utilizes a dual-approach for identifying trends. The first layer is derived from the Supertrend indicator, known for its effectiveness in highlighting ongoing trends using price average and volatility. This is visually represented by distinct red and green areas above or below the price candles, indicating bearish or bullish trends, respectively.
✅ Adaptive Linear Regression Channels
The second layer employs adaptive linear regression channels, which dynamically adjust their length based on the Average True Range (ATR), a measure of market volatility. This adaptability ensures the indicator remains attuned to changing market conditions, offering more relevant trend lines and signals.
✅ Signal Sensitivity
By leveraging the ATR not just in the Supertrend calculation but also to dynamically adjust the linear regression channels, the ProTrend Adaptive offers heightened sensitivity to market changes, ensuring traders receive timely and accurate signals.
✅ Entry Signals & Trend Strength
Entry points for potential trades are marked by triangles. Additionally, the indicator includes a feature that displays the strength of a trend through transparent bars below the candles, calculated using the Average Directional Index (ADX), providing users with valuable insight into the vigor of the trend.
▯ Importance of Adaptive Approach ▯
The adaptive nature of the ProTrend Adaptive's linear regression channels is crucial for its performance. Traditional linear regression channels are fixed in their period, which can render them less effective during periods of significant volatility shifts. By making the length of these channels responsive to the ATR, the ProTrend Adaptive ensures that the trend lines and signals it generates are always aligned with the current market context, offering traders a dynamic tool that adjusts in real-time to volatility changes.
▯ Supertrend Indicator Explained ▯
The Supertrend Indicator is a popular tool among traders for its simplicity and effectiveness in identifying market trends. It calculates the average price momentum and volatility to determine whether the market is in a bullish or bearish phase. Its visual simplicity, showing clear bullish and bearish zones, makes it an invaluable component of the ProTrend Adaptive, providing a solid foundation for trend detection upon which the adaptive linear regression channels build.
▯ Example ▯
This example illustrates several robust entry signals. These signals can seamlessly integrate into an overarching trading strategy, with exit points determined through a separate calculation. This approach allows traders to tailor their entry and exit strategies to their specific trading objectives, leveraging the ProTrend Adaptive for precise market entry while applying customized criteria for exit decisions.
Caution: Trading carries a significant risk of financial loss, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Signals may be conflicting or ambiguous. Employ risk reduction techniques, such as setting stop losses, to mitigate potential losses.
Custom spreadThis indictor allows you to plot the spread over an arbitrary period, which can be especially useful for futures and other instruments.
Inputs:
Expression : symbols for calculation and arithmetic operation
Period: from to period and timeframe
The output will show bars for the given period
Particularly useful for comparing two selected contracts on two futures
Kalman Hull Supertrend [BackQuant]Kalman Hull Supertrend
At its core, this indicator uses a Kalman filter of price, put inside of a hull moving average function (replacing the weighted moving averages) and then using that as a price source for the supertrend instead of the normal hl2 (high+low/2).
Therefore, making it more adaptive to price and also sensitive to recent price action.
PLEASE Read the following, knowing what an indicator does at its core before adding it into a system is pivotal. The core concepts can allow you to include it in a logical and sound manner.
1. What is a Kalman Filter
The Kalman Filter is an algorithm renowned for its efficiency in estimating the states of a linear dynamic system amidst noisy data. It excels in real-time data processing, making it indispensable in fields requiring precise and adaptive filtering, such as aerospace, robotics, and financial market analysis. By leveraging its predictive capabilities, traders can significantly enhance their market analysis, particularly in estimating price movements more accurately.
If you would like this on its own, with a more in-depth description please see our Kalman Price Filter.
2. Hull Moving Average (HMA) and Its Core Calculation
The Hull Moving Average (HMA) improves on traditional moving averages by combining the Weighted Moving Average's (WMA) smoothness and reduced lag. Its core calculation involves taking the WMA of the data set and doubling it, then subtracting the WMA of the full period, followed by applying another WMA on the result over the square root of the period's length. This methodology yields a smoother and more responsive moving average, particularly useful for identifying market trends more rapidly.
3. Combining Kalman Filter with HMA
The innovative combination of the Kalman Filter with the Hull Moving Average (KHMA) offers a unique approach to smoothing price data. By applying the Kalman Filter to the price source before its incorporation into the HMA formula, we enhance the adaptiveness and responsiveness of the moving average. This adaptive smoothing method reduces noise more effectively and adjusts more swiftly to price changes, providing traders with clearer signals for market entries or exits.
The calculation is like so:
KHMA(_src, _length) =>
f_kalman(2 * f_kalman(_src, _length / 2) - f_kalman(_src, _length), math.round(math.sqrt(_length)))
4. Integration with Supertrend
Incorporating this adaptive price smoothing technique into the Supertrend indicator further enhances its efficiency. The Supertrend, known for its proficiency in identifying the prevailing market trend and providing clear buy or sell signals, becomes even more powerful with an adaptive price source. This integration allows the Supertrend to adjust more dynamically to market changes, offering traders more accurate and timely trading signals.
5. Application in a Trading System
In a trading system, the Kalman Hull Supertrend indicator can serve as a critical component for identifying market trends and generating signals for potential entry and exit points. Its adaptiveness and sensitivity to price changes make it particularly useful for traders looking to minimize lag in signal generation and improve the accuracy of their market trend analysis. Whether used as a standalone tool or in conjunction with other indicators, its dynamic nature can significantly enhance trading strategies.
6. Core Calculations and Benefits
The core of this indicator lies in its sophisticated filtering and averaging techniques, starting with the Kalman Filter's predictive adjustments, followed by the adaptive smoothing of the Hull Moving Average, and culminating in the trend-detecting capabilities of the Supertrend. This multi-layered approach not only reduces market noise but also adapts to market volatility more effectively. Benefits include improved signal accuracy, reduced lag, and the ability to discern trend changes more promptly, offering traders a competitive edge.

Range Finder [UAlgo]🔶 Description:
The "Range Finder " indicator aims at identifying and visualizing price ranges within a specified number of candles. By utilizing the Average True Range (ATR) indicator and Simple Moving Average (SMA), it detects potential breakout conditions and tracks consecutive candles that remain within the breakout range. This indicator offers flexibility by allowing users to customize settings such as range length, method for determining range breaks (based on either candle close or wick), and visualization options for displaying range breaks on the chart.
🔶 Key Features
Identifying Ranges: The Range Finder automatically adapts to the market by continuously evaluating the Average True Range (ATR) and its Simple Moving Average (SMA). This helps in dynamically adjusting the range based on market volatility.
Range Length: Users can specify the number of candles to be used for constructing the range via the "Range Length" input setting. This allows for customization based on trading strategies and preferences.
Range Break Method: The indicator offers the flexibility to choose between two methods for identifying range breaks. Users can select between "Close" or "Wick" based on their preference for using the closing price or the highs and lows (including wicks) of candles for defining the breakout.
Show Range Breaks: This option enables visual representation of range breaks on the chart. When activated, labels with the letter "B" will appear at the breakout point, colored according to the breakout direction (upward breakouts in the chosen up range color and downward breakouts in the chosen down range color).
Range Color Customization: The indicator provides the ability to personalize the visual appearance of the range by selecting preferred colors for ranges indicating potential upward and downward breakouts.
🔶 Disclaimer
It's important to understand that the Range Finder indicator is intended for informational purposes only and should not be solely relied upon for making trading decisions. Trading financial instruments involves inherent risks, and past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
ZigZag With ATR Filter [vnhilton](OVERVIEW)
The typical ZigZag indicator, which connects pivot points (see TradingView's Help Center regarding their indicator Pivot Points High Low, for an in depth explanation on how they are calculated) with lines, except instead of a percentage threshold, it uses ATR which adjusts for volatility of the ticker you are viewing. The ZigZag indicator can therefore be used to help visualise price legs and trends on a usually noisy looking chart.
(FEATURES)
- Toggles for pivot point label contents such as the value, the trend, or nothing at all.
- ATR and pivot point periods.
- ATR multiplier minimum threshold to plot pivots and draw lines only when this threshold is met (helps eliminate small, perhaps insignificant price movements, to have a better focus on the overall trend).
- Show the last 2 to 499 ZigZag lines.
- Uptrend, downtrend and range colors for high and low pivot labels, text labels and lines, for both confirmed and real-time plots.
- Label size, and label styles for the high and low pivots.
- Customisable width and styles (Arrow Right, Dashed, Dotted, Solid) for the ZigZag line.
In the main chart picture, labels show both the pivot point value and the trend at that point. In the picture above, on the left shows only the pivot point value, the right shows only the trend.
Picture above shows just the label with 0 contents. Also notice the last recent line being blue instead of green. This is because the current bar hasn't finished so this line is currently live and not confirmed, so is subject to change. Keep in mind even if a pivot point is confirmed, it can be updated by a subsequent higher high/lower low.
Left chart shows a minimum ATR threshold multiplier of 1x; Right chart has 2x ATR minimum threshold. Notice the left chart highlights more price legs as more price legs satisfy a less strict threshold.
Trend Analysis with Standard Deviation by zdmre This script analyzes trends in financial markets using standard deviation.
The script works by first calculating the standard deviation of a security's price over a specified period of time. The script then uses this standard deviation to identify potential trend reversals.
For example, if the standard deviation of a security's price is high, this could indicate that the security is overvalued and due for a correction. Conversely, if the standard deviation of a security's price is low, this could indicate that the security is undervalued and due for a rally.
The script can be used to analyze any security, including stocks, bonds, and currencies. It can also be used to analyze different time frames, such as daily, weekly, and monthly.
How to Use the Script
To use the script, you will need to specify the following parameters:
Time frame: The time frame you want to analyze.
Standard deviation: The standard deviation you want to use.
Once you have specified these parameters, the script will calculate the standard deviation of the security's price over the specified time frame. The script will then use this standard deviation to identify potential trend reversals.

Relative Strength Overlay [BackQuant]Relative Strength Overlay
Relative Strength Overlay is a new innovative proprietary adaptive calculation to get an assets relative strength. To ensure this is well put together and easy for traders to use we have made it into an overlay. Allowing traders and investors to spot clear trends in both the up and down directions. Providing clear signals, and an option for a gradient to allow users to screen assets with strong relative strength and potentially define a trading period.
Please take the time to read the following.
Importance and Concepts
1. Adaptive Relative Strength Calculation:
At the heart of this indicator lies an adaptive relative strength calculation, a pivotal concept that goes beyond the traditional RSI (Relative Strength Index) by dynamically adjusting its sensitivity based on recent price action. This adaptability ensures that the indicator is more responsive to current market conditions, enhancing its effectiveness in signaling potential reversals or continuations.
2. Volatility and Price Action Adaptivity:
Incorporating an adaptive approach to both volatility and price action, the indicator refines its signals to reflect the current market environment more accurately. This adaptability is achieved through a custom calculation that considers the volatility (using ATR - Average True Range) and price action (through DEMA - Double Exponential Moving Average), ensuring that the indicator remains sensitive to sudden changes in market dynamics.
3. DEMA Utilization:
The use of DEMA provides a price-adaptive mechanism that smoothens the indicator's output, making it more reliable during volatile periods. DEMA helps in reducing the lag associated with traditional moving averages, offering a quicker response to price changes and enhancing the adaptive nature of the relative strength calculation.

Therefore, it is crucial to combine the signals obtained from this indicator with other analytical methods for a comprehensive assessment.
Furthermore, the results can be greatly influenced by the parameter settings of the indicator, such as the Z-score thresholds and calculation periods. As a result, it is necessary to conduct thorough backtesting on historical data to find the optimal settings.
Trade-o-Scope: Multi-Asset Price TrackerTrade-o-Scope team presents the "Multi-Asset Price Tracker" indicator.
"Multi-Asset Price Tracker" is designed to help analyze price changes across multiple assets within time intervals you define.
Motivation:
Most screeners on the market track price changes over predefined periods, like 1H\4H\12H\1D\3D\7D\etc. Typically, they compare initial and current prices.
But what if you want to analyze assets' performance over arbitrary historical intervals?
Perhaps you want to spot which assets dropped most within 7 hours after a specific industry announcement? Or do you want to check which asset grew the most in January last year?
This is where the "Multi-Asset Price Tracker" shines. It lets you define arbitrary intervals and track price changes for selected assets.
Overview and functionality:
Define arbitrary time intervals in history for analyzing price changes.
Create up to 10 lists, each with up to 40 symbols to track. Populate lists with data from text files, Excel, or CSV. Lists are just multiline text strings, each line representing an individual symbol.

Specify up to 3 fixed symbols for additional analysis alongside active list symbols. You may use them as reference points to compare price changes of the symbols in the List.
Customize table appearance and position.
Set sorting criteria and direction for displayed values.
View the results in a table on the chart.
How it works:
"Multi-Asset Price Tracker" will track the symbol's price during the interval you define.
The indicator identifies each symbol's Start, Max, Min, and End prices during the interval. It then calculates relative changes: Start-to-Max, Start-to-Min, and Start-to-End.
The list of relative changes is ordered by the column chosen in settings and displayed on the chart.
List example (up to 10 Lists):
BINANCE:WLDUSDT.P
BINANCE:WOOUSDT.P
BINANCE:XEMUSDT.P
...
...
(up to 40 symbols per List)
Calculation example:
Symbol Start-price = $100
Symbol Max-price = $150
Symbol Min-price = $75
Symbol End-price = $110
Start-to-Max = 100% * (Max-price - Start-price) / Start-price = 100% * ($150 - $100) / $100 = 50%
Start-to-Min = 100% * (Min-price - Start-price) / Start-price = 100% * ($75 - $100) / $100 = -25%
Start-to-End = 100% * (End-price - Start-price) / Start-price = 100% * ($110 - $100) / $100 = 10%
Chart example:
In the provided chart, you can observe an example with a table generated by the indicator, along with manually added arrows and labels explaining the calculation process for an individual symbol from the list.

GKD-C Schaff Trend, Volty-adaptive RSX [Loxx]The Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-C Schaff Trend, Volty-adaptive RSX is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System."
█ GKD-C Schaff Trend, Volty-adaptive RSX
The "Schaff Trend Cycle Jurik Volty Adaptive RSX" merges sophisticated analytical techniques to offer nuanced insights into market trends and cycles, emphasizing adaptability and precision. It marries the concept of RSX (Relative Strength Index modified by Jurik's smoothing) with a dynamically adjusted volatility coefficient, aiming to enhance the indicator's responsiveness and accuracy under varying market conditions.
The process begins by focusing on the market's momentum, a critical component that reflects the pace and direction of price movements. To capture and refine this momentum, the indicator employs a series of calculations that progressively smooth and iterate the data. This iterative smoothing is not arbitrary; it is meticulously calibrated to balance sensitivity to recent price movements against the historical price context, ensuring that the signal remains both timely and stable.
Simultaneously, the volatility of the market is meticulously analyzed through a separate but complementary mechanism. This part of the indicator calculates a volatility coefficient, a value that adjusts based on the observed market volatility. This coefficient is not static; it dynamically adapts, scaling the analysis based on the complexity and volatility of price movements. By evaluating how wildly or tamely prices are fluctuating, the volatility coefficient fine-tunes the indicator's overall sensitivity, making it more attuned to real-time market conditions.
Incorporating the RSX into this mix brings a layer of sophistication. The RSX, known for its smoothness and reduced lag compared to traditional RSI, is further refined by applying the volatility coefficient. This application ensures that the RSX's sensitivity is modulated according to the volatility of the market, allowing for a more nuanced and adaptive measure of price momentum.
The final output is a harmonious blend of smoothed momentum and volatility-adjusted sensitivity. This fusion creates a highly adaptive and responsive indicator, capable of identifying trend changes and market cycles with a high degree of precision. By adjusting its parameters in real-time, the Schaff Trend Cycle Jurik Volty Adaptive RSX stands out as a versatile tool, offering traders insights that are both deep and immediately relevant, tailored to the ever-changing tapestry of market dynamics.
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
8. Metamorphosis - a technical indicator that produces a compound signal from the combination of other GKD indicators*
*(not part of the NNFX algorithm)
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR (Average True Range) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility. As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double (TRD), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands, the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the MACD Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility, momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility/Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), or the Volume Price Trend (VPT), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index. Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index (RSI), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR, and the Average Directional Index (ADX).
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
What is an Metamorphosis indicator?
The concept of a metamorphosis indicator involves the integration of two or more GKD indicators to generate a compound signal. This is achieved by evaluating the accuracy of each indicator and selecting the signal from the indicator with the highest accuracy. As an illustration, let's consider a scenario where we calculate the accuracy of 10 indicators and choose the signal from the indicator that demonstrates the highest accuracy.
The resulting output from the metamorphosis indicator can then be utilized in a GKD-BT backtest by occupying a slot that aligns with the purpose of the metamorphosis indicator. The slot can be a GKD-B, GKD-C, or GKD-E slot, depending on the specific requirements and objectives of the indicator. This allows for seamless integration and utilization of the compound signal within the GKD-BT framework.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v2.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
6. GKD-M - Metamorphosis module (Metamorphosis, Number 8 in the NNFX algorithm, but not part of the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data to A backtest module wherein the various components of the GKD system are combined to create a trading signal.
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Multi-Ticker CC Backtest
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Hurst Exponent
Confirmation 1: Advance Trend Pressure as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: uf2018
Continuation: Coppock Curve
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Metamorphosis: Baseline Optimizer
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, GKD-M, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD system.

Volatility Filter v2VF v2 is a new iteration of my tool designed for traders who wish to gain a deeper understanding of market dynamics, specifically to distinguish periods of high volatility, which often correspond to strong market trends. By identifying these periods, traders can make more informed decisions, potentially leading to better trading outcomes.
Understanding Market Volatility:
At the heart of this script lies the concept of market volatility, a statistical measure reflecting the degree of variation in trading prices. Volatility is pivotal for traders; it provides insights into the market's emotional state, indicating periods of uncertainty or confidence. High volatility often correlates with strong trends, making it a critical indicator for trend-followers. By identifying when volatility crosses a certain threshold, traders can discern whether the market is likely to be in a trending phase or a more subdued, range-bound state.
How the Script Works:
The core functionality of the script revolves around a signal line that oscillates around a zero threshold. When the signal line is above zero, it indicates increased market volatility, suggesting the presence of a trend. The farther the oscillator deviates from zero, the stronger the implied trend. This mechanism enables traders to visually gauge market conditions and adjust their strategies accordingly.
Controlling the Indicator:
To cater to diverse trading styles and preferences, the script is equipped with several customizable settings:
Filter Threshold: This 'zero line' acts as the baseline for distinguishing between different volatility regimes. Crossing this threshold is a primary signal for changes in market volatility.
Moving Average Type: With over 30 types of moving averages to choose from, traders can select the one that best fits their analysis style. Each type offers a different perspective on price data, allowing for a tailored approach to trend identification.
Colorize Indicator: This feature enhances the visual representation of the indicator, making it easier to interpret. When enabled, the oscillator's color intensity varies with its proximity to the extremes, providing a quick visual cue about trend strength.
Advanced Settings – Length and Multiplier:
The script introduces an innovative approach to time frame analysis through its length and multiplier settings:
Length: This parameter sets the base period for all metrics within the script, similar to traditional indicators.
Multiplier: This unique feature differentiates the script by incorporating three distinct timeframes into the analysis: a lower timeframe, the main (current) timeframe, and a higher timeframe. The multiplier adjusts these timeframes relative to the main one. For instance, with a daily main timeframe and a multiplier of 2, the lower timeframe would be 12 hours, and the higher timeframe would be 2 days. This tri-timeframe approach aims to provide a more comprehensive volatility assessment.
Volatility Filter Indicators Section:
The script utilizes nine different, undisclosed metrics within its volatility filter. Traders have the flexibility to enable or disable these metrics based on their preferences, allowing for a customizable trading experience. Additionally, the script offers alert functionality for when the indicator crosses the threshold, either upwards or downwards, facilitating timely decision-making.
P.S
With better understanding of markets over time, I designed a new iteration of my volatility filter indicator. The second version provides faster, more precise way to analyze markets, but I also wanted to keep my first version untouched in case if some people find it better for their purposes. As I mentioned above, this version is calculated in a very different way from a previous one, so if you never tried it you can do it here
