Mid-point identification
TPO Profiles
A TPO profile is a market profile visualization that details how much time was spent at each price level throughout the time interval.
The image above further explains what a TPO Profile is!
Each letter corresponds to a candlestick. With this information, traders are able to visualize how much time was spent at each price area.
With customizable gradient colors, specifically in this example, blocks colored red are the earliest times in the profile, blocks colored green are in the beginning half of the time midpoint of the profile. Blue blocks represent the first half of the end of the time period, and purple blocks correspond to the end of the time period.
Please note that this form of TPO profile generation will only occur when the most recent profile uses less than 500 alphabet characters! If more than 500 characters are preset, TPO IQ will revert to using labels!
Initial Balance
TPO IQ also identifies the initial balance range and all alphabet characters that form within it!
The image above exemplifies this feature. The initial balance range is denoted by a a neon-blue line, with a blue circle showing the opening price. All characters within the initial balance range are highlighted blue, which is a feature that can be disabled with customizable colors.
POC
TPO IQ also identifies the point of control (POC) of the TPO Profile.
The point of control for the profile is labeled yellow by default, and shows where price spent the most time throughout the time period.
The image above shows the POC for the time period being identified by TPO IQ.
Value Area
TPO IQ also identifies the value area of the profile. A customizable percentage that is 70% by default, the value area of a TPO profile shows where price traded the majority of the time.
The image above further explains this feature. For this example, with the value area percentage being set to 70%, the value area high and value area low show the price zone that prices traded at 70% of the time throughout the profile.
TPO Midpoint
In addition to the POC, the TPO profile midpoint is also identified by TPO IQ.
The TPO midpoint simply corresponds to the middle price between the session's high and low!
Fixed Interval Mode
By default, TPO IQ recalculates every day, but this can also be changed to a customizable session time, such as 4 hours. If 4 hours is selected, then a new TPO profile will be generated every 4 hours.
However, in Fixed Interval mode, a TPO profile will be generated through a user-defined time range, such as 1300-1700.
In the image above, Fixed Interval mode is applied with a time range of 1300-1700 and, consequently, TPO IQ generates a new profile throughout every 1300-1700 time range!
This feature allows traders to specify time ranges of interest to generate TPO profiles for!
TPO Overview Label
The TPO overview label shows key statistics for the TPO profile generated throughout the trading session!
The "TPO Count" statistic shows how many alphabetical letters were generated for the profile, which is an adequate method to determine the session's volatility and price range.
The "Tick Levels" statistic shows how many tick levels were used to create the profile - another method to determine the volatility and price range of the session.
The "Top Letter" statistic shows which letter appears most throughout the profile. In this example, the top letter was "f", which means throughout creation of the profile, the letter "f" appeared the most!
And that's all for now!
If you have any feedback or new feature ideas for TPO IQ please feel free to share them with us!
Thank you traders!

Volatility-Volume Index (VVI)Volatility-Volume Index (VVI) – Indicator Description
The Volatility-Volume Index (VVI) is a custom trading indicator designed to identify market consolidation and anticipate breakouts by combining volatility (ATR) and trading volume into a single metric.
How It Works
Measures Volatility : Uses a 14-period Average True Range (ATR) to gauge price movement intensity.
Tracks Volume : Monitors trading activity to identify accumulation or distribution phases.
Normalization : ATR and volume are normalized using their respective 20-period Simple Moving Averages (SMA) for a balanced comparison.
Interpretation
VVI < 1: Low volatility and volume → Consolidation phase (range-bound market).
VVI > 1: Increased volatility and/or volume → Potential breakout or trend continuation.
How to Use VVI
Detect Consolidation:
Look for extended periods where VVI remains below 1.
Confirm with sideways price movement in a narrow range.
Anticipate Breakouts:
A spike above 1 signals a possible trend shift or breakout.
Why Use VVI?
Unlike traditional volatility indicators (ATR, Bollinger Bands) or volume-based tools (VWAP), VVI combines both elements to provide a clearer picture of consolidation zones and breakout potential.
GME Swapinator 5This indicator tracks likely GME swap expiration, which generally results in volatility to the upside in the stock. This is NOT valid on any stock except GME.
To view this indicator, add it to favorites by clicking the little rocket icon on the chart, then add it as an indicator by clicking the favorites tab (next to indicators if on desktop)
The magnitude of the spikes indicate the strength of the swap expiration. The more volatile the spikes, the more volatile the resultant price action might be.
This indicator does not catch all positive price increases, but only looks for swap expirations.
It also does not know what the options chain looks like, so a volatile options chain will make this indicator not show any spikes during that timeframe (see May-June 2024)
It also does not account for company actions like share offerings.
The indicator is only valid after Jan 2021.
The indicator gives a guideline with red/orange warnings on the trendline but you can use your own eyes to try and see when it is showing approaching volatility. The red and orange marks were added after the fact to try and make it a little more user friendly.
It was tuned to work on the DAILY timeframe. Using anything less than the daily timeframe is untested and likely not valid.
This is also just an indicator and does not predict the future. It is not guaranteed to work in the future, although it has done pretty well in the past.

ATR Volatility Expansion FilterThe ATR Volatility Expansion indicator helps traders identify when market volatility is increasing.
It compares two ATR values: the Baseline ATR, which tracks long-term volatility, and the Current ATR, which measures recent price movements.
The core concept is that when short-term volatility significantly surpasses the long-term average, it signals a period of heightened price movement. Traders can use this information to adjust their strategies accordingly.
Baseline ATR (blue): Represents long-term volatility, serving as a benchmark.
Current ATR (orange): Measures short-term volatility, highlighting recent market shifts.
Threshold ATR (red): A customizable multiplier of the Baseline ATR, setting the threshold for volatility expansion.
When the Current ATR exceeds the Threshold ATR, the background turns green, indicating volatility expansion. This provides traders with ability to get involved in moving markets or avoid choppy conditions.
The indicator is fully customizable, allowing you to adjust the ATR lengths, timeframe, and threshold multiplier to align with your trading strategy.
CSR Ultimate (Final)This indicator calculates and displays a "Candle Strength Ratio" (CSR) to help you gauge bullish versus bearish momentum on a given timeframe. Here’s what it does:
*Multiple Calculation Methods:*
*You can choose among three different methods:*
-Classic CSR: Compares the difference between the upper and lower parts of the candle relative to its total range.
-Weighted Body CSR: Gives more weight to the candle’s body relative to its wicks.
-Close-Focused CSR: Focuses on the net movement from open to close relative to the full range.
*Optional Enhancements:*
The indicator allows you to enable additional features to refine it:
-Volume Weighting: Adjusts the CSR based on the ratio of current volume to a moving average of volume, so a candle on higher-than-average volume might carry more weight.
-ATR Normalization: Normalizes the CSR using the Average True Range (ATR) to account for market volatility.
-Multi-Bar Averaging: Averages the CSR over a specified number of bars to smooth out noise.
-RSI Filter: Optionally checks an RSI condition (bullish if RSI > 50 or bearish if RSI < 50) to help filter out signals that might not be supported by overall momentum.
*Visual and Alert Features:*
The indicator plots the CSR line with color coding (green for bullish, red for bearish) and draws horizontal threshold lines. It also adjusts the chart background color when the CSR exceeds defined bullish or bearish levels and provides alerts when these thresholds are crossed.
MTF- Standard Deviation ChannelWhat Is Standard Deviation?
Standard deviation is a statistical measurement that looks at how far individual points in a dataset are dispersed from the mean of that set. If data points are further from the mean, there is a higher deviation within the data set. It is calculated as the square root of the variance.
Key Takeaways:
Standard deviation measures the dispersion of a dataset relative to its mean.
It is calculated as the square root of the variance.
Standard deviation, in finance, is often used as a measure of the relative riskiness of an asset.
A volatile stock has a high standard deviation, while the deviation of a stable blue-chip stock is usually rather low.
Standard deviation is also used by businesses to assess risk, manage business operations, and plan cash flows based on seasonal changes and volatility.

Long and Short Term Highs and LowsLong and Short Term Highs and Lows
Overview:
This indicator is designed to help traders identify significant price points by marking new highs and lows over two distinct timeframes—a long-term and a short-term period. It achieves this by drawing optional channel lines that outline the highest highs and lowest lows over the chosen time periods and by plotting visual markers (triangles) on the chart when a new high or low is detected.
Key Features:
Dual Timeframe Analysis:
Long Term: Uses a user-defined “Time Period” (default 52) and “Time Unit” (default: Weekly) to determine long-term high and low levels.
Short Term: Uses a separate “Time Period” (default 50) and “Time Unit” (default: Daily) to compute short-term high and low levels.
Optional Channel Display:
For both long and short term periods, you have the option to display a channel by plotting the highest and lowest values as lines. This visual channel helps to delineate the range within which the price has traded over the selected period.
New High/Low Markers:
The indicator identifies moments when the highest high or lowest low is updated relative to the previous bar.
When a new high is established, an up triangle is plotted above the bar.
Conversely, when a new low occurs, a down triangle is plotted below the bar.
Separate input toggles allow you to enable or disable these markers independently for the long-term and short-term setups.
Inputs and Settings:
Long Term High/Low Period Settings:
Show New High/Low? (STW): Toggle to enable or disable the plotting of new high/low markers for the long-term period.
Time Period: The number of bars used to calculate the highest high and lowest low (default is 52).
Time Unit: The timeframe on which the long-term calculation is based (default is Weekly).
Show Channel? (SCW): Toggle to display the channel lines that connect the long-term high and low levels.
Short Term High/Low Period Settings:
Show New High/Low?: Toggle to enable or disable the plotting of new high/low markers for the short-term period.
Time Period: The number of bars used for calculating the short-term extremes (default is 50).
Time Unit: The timeframe on which the short-term calculations are based (default is Daily).
Show Channel?: Toggle to display the channel lines for the short-term highs and lows.
Indicator Logic:
Channel Calculation:
The script uses the request.security function to pull data from the specified timeframes. For each timeframe:
It calculates the lowest low over the defined period using ta.lowest.
It calculates the highest high over the defined period using ta.highest.
These values can be optionally plotted as channel lines when the “Show Channel?” option is enabled.
New High/Low Detection:
For each timeframe, the indicator compares the current high (or low) with its immediate previous value:
New High: When the current high exceeds the previous bar’s high, an up triangle is drawn above the bar.
New Low: When the current low falls below the previous bar’s low, a down triangle is drawn below the bar.
Usage and Interpretation:
Trend Identification:
When new highs (or lows) occur, they can signal the start of a strong upward (or downward) movement. The indicator helps you visually track these critical turning points over both longer and shorter periods.
Channel Breakouts:
The optional channel display offers additional context. Price movement beyond these channels may indicate a breakout or a significant shift in trend.
Customizable Timeframes:
You can adjust both the time period and time unit to fit your trading style—whether you’re focusing on longer-term trends or short-term price action.
Conclusion:
This indicator provides a dual-layer analysis by combining long-term and short-term perspectives, making it a versatile tool for identifying key highs and lows. Whether you are looking to confirm trend strength or spot potential breakouts, the “Long and Short Term Highs and Lows” indicator adds a valuable visual element to your TradingView charts.

Donchian and Keltner Channels Trend Following with Trailing StopLong Only Trend-following model based on Keltner Channels and Donchian Channels.
These indicators include a noise region, which allows prices to oscillate without requiring position adjustments.
When price trades above the upper band, it signals strength; when it trades below the lower band, it signals weakness.
Keltner Channels
Keltner Channels are volatility-based envelopes set above and below an exponential moving average. Keltner Channels use the Average True Range (ATR), which measures daily volatility, to set channel distance.
Donchian Channel
Donchian Channels are are used to identify market trends and volatility. The upper and lower bands are based on the highest high and lowest low of a specified period. When the price moves above the upper band, it indicates a bullish breakout, while a
move below the lower band indicates a bearish breakout. The distance between the upper and lower channel of the Donchian Channel indicates the asset’s volatility.
Trend Following Model
The default settings are:
Upper Keltner and Upper Donchian Channel Length : 20
Lower Keltner and Lower Donchian Channel Length : 40
Keltner ATR Multiplier: 2
Entries, Exits and Trailing Stop
Entry : When price exceeds the upper band of at least one of these indicators.
Exit : When price undercuts the lower band of at least one of these indicators.
Trailing Stop : See below.
Trailing Stop
This is a stop-loss order that moves with the price of the underlying. It is designed to “trail” the price up (in the case of a long position) or down (for a short position), locking in profits as the price moves in a favorable direction.
At the end of day t, there was a Trailing Stop level in place. For the next day (day t + 1), the Trailing Stop will be adjusted. The new Trailing Stop will be the higher of two values:
The Trailing Stop from the previous day (day t).
The Lower Band computed at the end of day t + 1.
G-FRAMA | QuantEdgeBIntroducing G-FRAMA by QuantEdgeB
Overview
The Gaussian FRAMA (G-FRAMA) is an adaptive trend-following indicator that leverages the power of Fractal Adaptive Moving Averages (FRAMA), enhanced with a Gaussian filter for noise reduction and an ATR-based dynamic band for trade signal confirmation. This combination results in a highly responsive moving average that adapts to market volatility while filtering out insignificant price movements.
_____
1. Key Features
- 📈 Gaussian Smoothing – Utilizes a Gaussian filter to refine price input, reducing short-term noise while maintaining responsiveness.
- 📊 Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA) – A self-adjusting moving average that adapts its sensitivity to market trends.
- 📉 ATR-Based Volatility Bands – Dynamic upper and lower bands based on the Average True Range (ATR), improving signal reliability.
- ⚡ Adaptive Trend Signals – Automatically detects shifts in market structure by evaluating price in relation to FRAMA and its ATR bands.
_____
2. How It Works
- Gaussian Filtering
The Gaussian function preprocesses the price data, giving more weight to recent values and smoothing fluctuations. This reduces whipsaws and allows the FRAMA calculation to focus on meaningful trend developments.
- Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA)
Unlike traditional moving averages, FRAMA uses fractal dimension calculations to adjust its smoothing factor dynamically. In trending markets, it reacts faster, while in sideways conditions, it reduces sensitivity, filtering out noise.
- ATR-Based Volatility Bands
ATR is applied to determine upper and lower thresholds around FRAMA:
- 🔹 Long Condition: Price closes above FRAMA + ATR*Multiplier
- 🔻 Short Condition: Price closes below FRAMA - ATR
This setup ensures entries are volatility-adjusted, preventing premature exits or false signals in choppy conditions.
_____
3. Use Cases
✔ Adaptive Trend Trading – Automatically adjusts to different market conditions, making it ideal for both short-term and long-term traders.
✔ Noise-Filtered Entries – Gaussian smoothing prevents false breakouts, allowing for cleaner entries.
✔ Breakout & Volatility Strategies – The ATR bands confirm valid price movements, reducing false signals.
✔ Smooth but Aggressive Shorts – While the indicator is smooth in overall trend detection, it reacts aggressively to downside moves, making it well-suited for traders focusing on short opportunities.
_____
4. Customization Options
- Gaussian Filter Settings – Adjust length & sigma to fine-tune the smoothness of the input price. (Default: Gaussian length = 4, Gaussian sigma = 2.0, Gaussian source = close)
- FRAMA Length & Limits – Modify how quickly FRAMA reacts to price changes.(Default: Base FRAMA = 20, Upper FRAMA Limit = 8, Lower FRAMA Limit = 40)
- ATR Multiplier – Control how wide the volatility bands are for long/short entries.(Default: ATR Length = 14, ATR Multiplier = 1.9)
- Color Themes – Multiple visual styles to match different trading environments.
_____
Conclusion
The G-FRAMA is an intelligent trend-following tool that combines the adaptability of FRAMA with the precision of Gaussian filtering and volatility-based confirmation. It is versatile across different timeframes and asset classes, offering traders an edge in trend detection and trade execution.

VolatilityThis is a filtering indicator Volatility in the CTA contract of BG Exchange. According to their introduction, it should be calculated using this simple method.
However, you may have seen the problem. According to the exchange's introduction, the threshold should still be divided by 100, which is in percentage form. The result I calculated, even if not divided by 100, still shows a significant difference, which may be due to the exchange's mistake. Smart netizens, do you know how the volatility of BG Exchange is calculated.
The official introduction of BG Exchange is as follows: Volatility (K, Fluctuation) is an additional indicator used to filter out positions triggered by CTA strategy signals in low volatility markets. Usage: Select the fluctuation range composed of the nearest K candlesticks, and choose the highest and lowest closing prices. Calculation: 100 * (highest closing price - lowest closing price) divided by the lowest closing price to obtain the recent amplitude. When the recent amplitude is greater than Fluctuation, it is considered that the current market volatility meets the requirements. When the CTA strategy's position building signal is triggered, position building can be executed. Otherwise, warehouse building cannot be executed.

🔹 Standard Deviation Bands: Dynamically adjusts upper and lower bands based on market volatility, helping traders spot key breakout zones and trend reversals.
🔹 Normalized Filtering: Incorporates a normalized median structure, ensuring that trends are identified with greater accuracy, and filtering out insignificant price fluctuations.
🔹 Multi-Market Adaptability: Optimized for crypto, but its calibration settings allow adaptation to other markets through adjustable SD multipliers and other inputs.
_____
2. How It Works
The Dual SD Median calculates a smoothed median price over a defined period, providing a stable central value for trend tracking. It then applies standard deviation bands to dynamically adjust to market conditions.
To further enhance precision, the indicator normalizes the median price against the underlying asset’s price fluctuations, ensuring that only significant trend shifts trigger signals.
Long & Short Signals:
✔ Long Signal: Triggered when the price breaks above both the upper SD median band and the normalized median threshold.
✔ Short Signal: Activated when the price drops below the lower SD median band and the normalized threshold.
_____
3. How to Use it
📌 Trend Confirmation: Use this indicator to confirm trends by observing breakouts beyond the SD bands. A strong price move past the median SD zone signals potential continuation.
📌 Reversal Identification: If price moves aggressively into SD bands but fails to sustain momentum, it may indicate overextension and reversal potential.
📌 Volatility-Based Trading: Traders can adjust the SD multipliers to match different asset classes and market conditions.
📌 Cross-Market Applicability: While optimized for crypto, the system can be fine-tuned for stocks, forex, and commodities through custom parameter adjustments.

Dynamic Stop Loss & Take ProfitDynamic Stop Loss & Take Profit is a versatile risk management indicator that calculates dynamic stop loss and take profit levels based on the Average True Range (ATR). This indicator helps traders set adaptive exit points by using a configurable ATR multiplier and defining whether they are in a Long (Buy) or Short (Sell) trade.
How It Works
ATR Calculation – The indicator calculates the ATR value over a user-defined period (default: 14).
Stop Loss and Take Profit Multipliers – The ATR value is multiplied by a configurable factor (ranging from 1.5 to 4) to determine volatility-adjusted stop loss and take profit levels.
Trade Type Selection – The user can specify whether they are in a Long (Buy) or Short (Sell) trade.
Long (Buy) Trade:
Stop Loss = Entry Price - (ATR × Stop Loss Multiplier)
Take Profit = Entry Price + (ATR × Take Profit Multiplier)
Short (Sell) Trade:
Stop Loss = Entry Price + (ATR × Stop Loss Multiplier)
Take Profit = Entry Price - (ATR × Take Profit Multiplier)

ATR Trailing Stop by GideonMATR Trailing Stop Indicator
This ATR Trailing Stop Indicator is designed for traders who wish to enhance their exit strategies by leveraging volatility-based stops. It offers a systematic approach to trend management and risk control, enabling traders to capture extended trends while protecting their capital during market reversals. Works on Indian Indices as well.
Overview:
The ATR Trailing Stop indicator is a dynamic trend-following tool that adjusts stop levels based on market volatility. By incorporating the Average True Range (ATR), the indicator provides a flexible exit strategy that adapts to changing market conditions, helping traders lock in profits during trends and limit losses during reversals.
How It Works:
True Range and ATR Calculation:
The indicator first calculates the True Range (TR) for each bar, defined as the maximum of:
The difference between the high and low,
The absolute difference between the high and the previous close, and
The absolute difference between the low and the previous close.
Using the TR values, the ATR is computed over a user-defined period (default is 14 bars) with an option to use either a Simple Moving Average (SMA) or an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as the smoothing method.
Trailing Stop Determination:
Two potential stop levels are calculated:
For an uptrend, the stop is determined as:
Stop = Close – (Multiplier × ATR)
For a downtrend, the stop is:
Stop = Close + (Multiplier × ATR)
The indicator maintains a persistent trailing stop that dynamically adjusts:
In an uptrend, the trailing stop only moves upward (or remains flat) to secure gains.
In a downtrend, it only moves downward, thereby protecting the position from excessive losses.
A reversal in trend is identified when the price crosses the trailing stop level, at which point the indicator flips the trend and resets the stop level accordingly.
Rationale:
Utilizing the ATR for trailing stops ensures that the stop levels are directly influenced by market volatility. This dynamic adjustment helps accommodate the natural price fluctuations of the market, providing a more adaptive risk management tool compared to fixed stop-loss levels. The approach is particularly useful in volatile markets where traditional static stops might be triggered prematurely.
Customization:
Key parameters that can be adjusted include:
ATR Period: The number of bars used to calculate the ATR.
ATR Multiplier: The factor that determines how far the trailing stop is set from the current price.
Smoothing Method: Option to choose between SMA and EMA for ATR calculation, allowing traders to tailor the sensitivity of the indicator to their specific trading style.
