Candle Body Size AlertThis indicator monitors the body size of each candle (close minus open, ignoring wicks) and compares it to a user-defined threshold measured in ticks. If the candle body exceeds the threshold, the indicator triggers an alert condition at the close of the candle.
Features:
1. Adjustable threshold in ticks (default: 4000)
2. Adjustable timeframe (or use chart timeframe)
3. Alerts only at candle close (no intrabar signals)
Use Case:
Designed for traders who want to be notified when unusually large candles form, helping to identify strong momentum moves or volatility spikes.

Calm before the StormCalm before the Storm - Bollinger Bands Volatility Indicator
What It Does
This indicator identifies and highlights periods of extremely low market volatility by analyzing Bollinger Bands distance. It uses percentile-based analysis to find the "quietest" market periods and highlights them with a gradient background, operating on the premise that low volatility periods often precede significant price movements.
How It Works
Volatility Measurement: Calculates the distance between Bollinger Bands upper and lower boundaries
Percentile Analysis: Analyzes the lowest X% of volatility periods over a configurable lookback period (default: lowest 40% over 200 bars)
Visual Highlighting: Uses gradient opacity to show volatility levels - the lower the volatility, the more opaque the background highlighting
Adaptive Threshold: Automatically calculates what constitutes "low volatility" based on recent market conditions
Who Should Use It
Primary Users:
Breakout Traders: Looking for consolidation periods that may precede significant moves
Options Traders: Seeking low implied volatility periods before volatility expansion
Swing Traders: Identifying accumulation/distribution phases before trend continuation or reversal
Range Traders: Spotting tight trading ranges for mean reversion strategies
Trading Styles:
Volatility-based strategies
Breakout and momentum trading
Options strategies (volatility plays)
Market timing approaches
When to Use It
Market Conditions:
Consolidation Phases: When price is moving sideways with decreasing volatility
Pre-Announcement Periods: Before earnings, economic data, or major events
Market Transitions: During shifts between trending and ranging markets
Low Volume Periods: When institutional participation is reduced
Strategic Applications:
Entry Timing: Wait for volatility compression before positioning for breakouts
Risk Management: Reduce position sizes during highlighted periods (anticipating volatility expansion)
Options Strategy: Sell premium during low volatility, buy during expansion
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Combine with higher timeframe trends for confluence
Key Benefits
Objective Volatility Measurement: Removes subjectivity from identifying "quiet" markets
Adaptive Analysis: Automatically adjusts to current market conditions
Visual Clarity: Easy-to-interpret gradient highlighting
Customizable Sensitivity: Adjustable percentile thresholds for different trading styles
Best Used In Combination With:
Trend analysis tools
Support/resistance levels
Volume indicators
Momentum oscillators
This indicator is particularly valuable for traders who understand that periods of low volatility are often followed by periods of high volatility, allowing them to position ahead of potential significant price movements.

Session Volatility MonitorOverview
Session Volatility Monitor is a versatile volatility indicator tailored for intraday and session-based trading. It computes the average maximum price deviation (either up or down) from the session's opening price over a user-specified number of prior days, providing insights into expected "room to move" in the current session. This helps traders gauge potential exhaustion points, set realistic targets or stops, and identify when a directional move has reached historical norms (flagged as "REACHED" with the exact price level).
Displayed via a customisable table and optional horizontal target lines, it's ideal for markets like forex, crypto, futures, or stocks where session volatility matters. The indicator supports custom sessions with timezone adjustments, making it adaptable to global trading hours (e.g., London, NY, or Asia kill zones). For assets with small tick sizes (e.g., forex pairs at 0.0001), a multiplier scales values for readability (e.g., showing pips as 67.0 instead of 0.00670).
Key Features
Session-Based Calculations:
Defines sessions via presets (e.g., "NY Kill Zone: 07:00-10:00") or custom HHMM-HHMM inputs. (please note that preset sessions are mainly for futures e.g. "Full Day18:01-17:00", but also can be useful for forex and crypto)
Adjustable UTC offset (e.g., -5 for ET) to align with your asset's timezone—ensures accurate detection regardless of TradingView's UTC internal clock.
Tracks the max one-sided move (high - open or open - low) per session, averaging over 1–N previous days (default: 14).
Table Display:
Avg Max Move: Historical average deviation, labeled with days averaged and session time.
Current Move: Real-time displacement from session open (positive for up, negative for down).
Room to Go Up/Down: Remaining distance to reach the average, updating live; appends "REACHED (price)" if hit during the session.
Customisable: Text color, font size (tiny to huge), position (e.g., bottom_left), and value scaling via multiplier/decimal places.
Target Lines:
Optional horizontal lines at "Up Target" (open + avg move) and "Down Target" (open - avg move).
Lines start at the session open bar and extend only through the session duration (e.g., stops at 12:00 for a 07:00-12:00 session)—no further projection post-session.
Fully customisable: Toggle on/off, color, style (solid/dotted/dashed), width, label text/background.
Display Adjustments for Forex/Crypto:
Multiplier: Scales raw values (e.g., set to 10000 for EURUSD to show pips like 45.0 instead of 0.0045).
Decimals: Controls precision (0–5 places) for table values.
How to Use
Add to Chart: Search for "Session Volatility Monitor" in TradingView's indicators and apply to your symbol (e.g., EURUSD for forex, NQ1! for futures, BTCUSD for crypto).
Configure Settings:
Select a session preset or custom range; adjust UTC offset if needed (e.g., +0 for UTC symbols like crypto).
Set "Number of Previous Days to Average" (e.g., 14 for a two-week look back).
For small-tick assets, set Multiplier (e.g., 100 for crypto points, 10000 for forex pips) and Decimals (e.g., 0 for whole numbers).
Customise table position/size/color and target lines for visibility.
Interpret Outputs:
Monitor the table for "room to go"—if Room Up is low/negative, upside might be limited; "REACHED" signals a potential reversal or exhaustion.
Use target lines as visual S/R levels; they auto-start at session open and halt at close.
Combine with price action, volume, or other indicators for entries (e.g., buy near down target if bullish bias).
Example Scenario:
Forex (GBPUSD, 1-min): Set session to "London Kill Zone: 02:00-05:00" (UTC+0), multiplier=10000. Table shows pips; lines mark expected highs/lows.
Limitations and Tips
Historical Data Limits: Averages are capped by TradingView's bar history (e.g., ~14 days on 1-min for free plans). Upgrade for deeper look backs or use higher timeframes.
Session Accuracy: Ensure UTC offset matches your chart—test with the "In Session" plot (enable in Style tab, zoom y-axis if columns are tiny).
No Alerts/Signals: Purely informational; add custom alerts via TradingView for "REACHED" conditions.
Performance: On very low timeframes with long sessions, lines might consume line limits (max ~50)—toggle off if needed.
Tips: For crypto/forex, experiment with multiplier to match your preferred units (e.g., points vs. decimals). Hide debug plot in Style tab for clean charts. If "REACHED" doesn't trigger, verify on historical data where moves exceed averages.
This tool draws from concepts like Average Daily Range but focuses on directional, session-specific volatility for precise intraday decision-making. Feedback welcome!

RSI Bands With RSI - ATR Trend LineRSI Bands With RSI - ATR Trend Line (Smoothed Baseline)
Overview
A trend-following tool that fuses RSI-based regime detection with a smoothed baseline and ATR bands. Trend line aims to stay with the RSI move, cut random noise, and flip cleanly. The line draws green in bulls and red in bears; signals fire only on candle close confirmed flips.
Key Features
✅ Dynamic Trend Detection
RSI (>50 / <50) sets bullish/bearish regime
Smoothed baseline adapts to price while damping whipsaw
ATR-based bands expand/contract with volatility
✅ Precise Signal Generation
Buy when trend flips to bullish (close confirms above the upper band)
Sell when trend flips to bearish (close confirms below the lower band)
Flips require a real band break → fewer false transitions
✅ Visual Clarity
Green line = bullish trend, Red line = bearish trend
✅ Customizable Settings
RSI Length (default 14)
Baseline Smoothing (default 26)
ATR Length (default 14)
ATR Multiplier (default 1.4)
Toggles for Signals and Labels
✅ TradingView Alerts
Built-in Buy & Sell alerts (recommend Once per bar close)
How It Works
Algorithm Logic
RSI Regime: RSI above/below 50 sets bull/bear. At exactly 50, the prior target is carried forward.
Target & Smoothing: A per-bar target is built from the bar’s range and RSI, then smoothed with an EMA-style filter (Baseline Smoothing) to form the baseline.
ATR Bands: Upper/Lower = baseline ± (ATR × Multiplier).
Flip Rule (Supertrend-like):
Close above upper band → bullish flip; trend line tracks the lower band (green).
Close below lower band → bearish flip; trend line tracks the upper band (red).
Between bands → prior trend line persists.
Signals/Alerts: A flip event generates a Buy/Sell signal and alert.
Best Use Cases
Trending Markets – Built to ride sustained moves in either direction.
Multiple Timeframes – Works from intraday to higher TFs; higher TFs usually produce cleaner flips.
Various Asset Classes – Forex, Indices, Stocks, Crypto, Commodities; ATR adapts to volatility.
Recommended Settings
Conservative (Lower Frequency)
RSI 14–20 • Baseline 34 • ATR 14–21 • Multiplier 1.8–2.2
Use for swing/position trading; calmer signal stream.
Balanced (Default)
RSI 14 • Baseline 26 • ATR 14 • Multiplier 1.4
Good general-purpose setup for swing or active intraday.
Aggressive (Higher Frequency)
RSI 10–14 • Baseline 13–21 • ATR 10–14 • Multiplier 1.1–1.3
For scalping/day trading; earlier but noisier flips.
🎨 Visual Elements

Implied Volatility TestThought for 42sOverview of the "Implied Volatility Suite" Indicator
The "Implied Volatility Suite" is a custom TradingView indicator written in Pine Script (version 6) designed to estimate and visualize implied volatility (IV) for any stock or asset charted on TradingView. Unlike true implied volatility derived from options pricing (e.g., via Black-Scholes), this script provides a synthetic approximation based on historical price data. It offers flexibility by allowing users to choose between two calculation methods: "Model Implied Volatility" (a statistical projection based on log-normal assumptions) or "VixFix" (a historical volatility proxy inspired by Larry Williams' VIX Fix indicator). The output is plotted as an oscillating line, similar to the Relative Strength Index (RSI), making it easy to interpret overbought/oversold conditions or trends in volatility. Users can select what to plot: raw Implied Volatility, IV Rank, IV Percentile, or Volatility Skew Index, with color-coded visuals for quick analysis (e.g., red/green thresholds for ranks/percentiles).
This indicator is particularly useful for stocks without listed options, where real IV data isn't available, or for traders seeking a quick volatility gauge integrated into their charts.
What the Code Does
At its core, the script computes a volatility metric and transforms it into one of four plottable formats, then displays it as a line chart in a separate pane below the main price chart. Here's a breakdown:
User Inputs and Configuration:
Volatility Calculation Method: Choose "Model Implied Volatility" (default) or "VixFix".
Expiry Parameters (for Model method): Minutes, Hours, and Days until expiry (default 45 days). These are combined into Days (as a float for fractional days) and converted to years (Expiry = Days / 365).
Length Parameters: For Model IV rank/percentile (default 365), VixFix length (default 252, with recommendations like 9, 22, etc.), and VixFix rank/percentile length (default 252).
Output Choice: Select "Implied Volatility", "IV Rank", "IV Percentile" (default "IV Rank"), or "Volatility Skew Index".
The script uses spot = close as the reference price.
Core Calculations:
Model Implied Volatility:
Computes log returns: LogReturn = math.log(spot / spot ) (percentage change between prior bars).
Calculates the simple moving average (Average) and standard deviation (STDEV) of log returns over an integer-rounded Days period.
Projects a time-adjusted mean (Time_Average = Days * Average) and standard deviation (Time_STDEV = STDEV * math.sqrt(Days)), assuming a random walk scaled by time.
Derives upper and lower bounds for the price at expiry: upper = spot * math.exp(Time_Average + 1 * Time_STDEV) and lower = spot * math.exp(Time_Average - 1 * Time_STDEV), representing a 1-standard-deviation range under log-normal distribution.
Computes the width of this range (width = upper - lower), halves it to get standard_dev, and annualizes it to sigma: sigma = standard_dev / (spot * math.sqrt(Expiry)).
Applies an "optimizer": If sigma > 1, halve it (to prevent unrealistically high values).
Result: IV (a decimal, e.g., 0.25 for 25% IV).
VixFix (Synthetic VIX Proxy):
Based on Larry Williams' VIX Fix formula, which estimates fear/volatility without options data: (ta.highest(spot, VIXFixLength) - low) / ta.highest(spot, VIXFixLength) * 100.
The script extends this for "upside" and "downside" by shifting the spot and low prices by multiples of standard deviation (0 for base VixFix).
VixFix is the average of upside(0) and downside(0), which are identical, yielding the standard VIX Fix value.
Volatility Skew Index:
Measures asymmetry in volatility (e.g., higher downside vol indicating fear).
For Model: Averages "upside IV" (calculated on spot shifted up by 1,2,3 * stdev) minus "downside IV" (shifted down).
For VixFix: Similar, but using shifted VIX Fix formulas for upside/downside.
Positive skew might indicate upside bias; negative indicates downside.
Rank and Percentile:
IV Rank: Normalizes the current volatility: (Volatility - ta.lowest(Volatility, Len)) / (ta.highest(Volatility, Len) - ta.lowest(Volatility, Len)) * 100.
IV Percentile: Uses ta.percentrank(Volatility, Len) to show what percentage of past values are below the current.
Len depends on the chosen method (e.g., 365 for Model).
Plotting and Visualization:
Selects VolatilityData based on user choice (e.g., IV * 100 for percentage display).
Applies colors: Red (<50) or green (>=50) for rank/percentile; aqua for skew; yellow for raw IV.
Plots as a line: plot(VolatilityData, color=col, title="Volatility Data").
The script switches logic seamlessly via conditionals (e.g., Volatility = VolCalc == "VixFix" ? VixFix : IV), ensuring the chosen method and output are used.
How It Works (Step-by-Step Execution Flow)
Initialization: Reads user inputs and sets spot = close. Computes Days (float) and DaysInt = math.round(Days) for integer lengths in TA functions.
Log Returns and Base Stats: For Model, calculates log returns, then SMA and STDEV over DaysInt.
Projection and IV Derivation: Scales stats to expiry time, computes bounds, derives sigma/IV.
Skew Functions: Defines reusable functions Model_Upside(i) and Model_Downside(i) (or VIX equivalents) to shift prices and recompute IV/VIX on shifted series.
Aggregation: Computes skew as average difference; sets Volatility to IV or VixFix.
Rank/Percentile/Skew: Applies over user-defined lengths.
Output Logic: Determines what to plot and its color based on VolatilityChoice.
Rendering: Plots the line in TradingView's indicator pane, updating bar-by-bar.
This leverages Pine Script's built-in functions like ta.sma, ta.stdev, ta.highest/lowest, and math.exp/log for efficiency.
Pros
Accessibility: Provides IV estimates for non-optionable assets (e.g., individual stocks, ETFs without options), filling a gap in TradingView's native tools.
Customization: Multiple methods (Model for forward-looking, VixFix for historical) and outputs (raw, ranked, percentile, skew) allow tailored analysis. Expiry adjustments make it suitable for options-like thinking.
Visual Simplicity: Oscillates like RSI (0-100 for ranks/percentiles), with intuitive colors, aiding quick decisions (e.g., high IV Rank might signal options selling opportunities).
No External Data Needed: Relies solely on chart data (close, low), making it lightweight and real-time.
Educational Value: Exposes users to volatility concepts like skew and log-normal projections, potentially improving trading strategies.
Flexibility in Timeframes: Works on any chart interval, with adjustable lengths for short-term (e.g., 9-bar VixFix) or long-term (365-day ranks).
Limitations
Not True Implied Volatility: This is a historical or model-based proxy, not derived from actual options prices. It may overestimate/underestimate real market-implied vol, especially during events (e.g., earnings) where options premium spikes unpredictably.
Assumptions in Model Method: Relies on log-normal distribution and constant volatility, ignoring fat tails, jumps, or mean reversion in real markets. The "optimizer" (halving sigma >1) is arbitrary and may distort results.
VixFix Variant Limitations: While based on a proven indicator, the upside/downside shifts (by stdev of prices, not returns) could be inaccurate for skew, as stdev(prices) doesn't scale properly with returns. It's backward-looking, not predictive like true IV.
Data Requirements: Needs sufficient historical bars (e.g., 365 for ranks), failing on new listings or short charts. Rounding Days to integer may introduce minor inaccuracies for fractional expiries.
Computational Intensity: Functions like repeated ta.stdev and shifts for skew (called multiple times per bar) could slow performance on long histories or low-power devices.
No Real-Time Options Integration: Doesn't pull live options data; users must manually compare to actual IV (e.g., via CBOE VIX for indices).
Potential for Misinterpretation: Oscillating line might mislead (e.g., high IV Rank doesn't always mean "sell vol"), and skew calculation is non-standard, requiring user expertise.
Version Dependency: Built for Pine v6 (as of 2025); future TradingView updates could break it, though it's straightforward to migrate.
Overall, this script is a valuable tool for volatility-aware trading but should be used alongside other indicators (e.g., ATR, Bollinger Bands) and validated against real options data when available. For improvements, consider backtesting its signals or integrating alerts for thresholds.1.9sHow can Grok help?

- Optional background shading for immediate context.
- Boundary lines to define momentum thresholds.
How It Works:
The script calculates a moving average (based on user-selected type and period) and applies an upper and lower multiplier to create dynamic price boundaries. When price closes beyond these bands, it suggests a strong directional momentum move. The indicator is fully customizable to adapt to your trading style and timeframe.
Use Cases:
- Identify potential breakouts or trend continuations.
- Filter entries/exits based on momentum strength.
- Combine with other tools for confirmation in your strategy.
This indicator does not repaint or use future-looking data. It’s designed for discretionary and systematic traders looking for an adaptive way to visualize momentum relative to market volatility.
Seasonality Monte Carlo Forecaster [BackQuant]Seasonality Monte Carlo Forecaster
Plain-English overview
This tool projects a cone of plausible future prices by combining two ideas that traders already use intuitively: seasonality and uncertainty. It watches how your market typically behaves around this calendar date, turns that seasonal tendency into a small daily “drift,” then runs many randomized price paths forward to estimate where price could land tomorrow, next week, or a month from now. The result is a probability cone with a clear expected path, plus optional overlays that show how past years tended to move from this point on the calendar. It is a planning tool, not a crystal ball: the goal is to quantify ranges and odds so you can size, place stops, set targets, and time entries with more realism.
What Monte Carlo is and why quants rely on it
• Definition . Monte Carlo simulation is a way to answer “what might happen next?” when there is randomness in the system. Instead of producing a single forecast, it generates thousands of alternate futures by repeatedly sampling random shocks and adding them to a model of how prices evolve.
• Why it is used . Markets are noisy. A single point forecast hides risk. Monte Carlo gives a distribution of outcomes so you can reason in probabilities: the median path, the 68% band, the 95% band, tail risks, and the chance of hitting a specific level within a horizon.
• Core strengths in quant finance .
– Path-dependent questions : “What is the probability we touch a stop before a target?” “What is the expected drawdown on the way to my objective?”
– Pricing and risk : Useful for path-dependent options, Value-at-Risk (VaR), expected shortfall (CVaR), stress paths, and scenario analysis when closed-form formulas are unrealistic.
– Planning under uncertainty : Portfolio construction and rebalancing rules can be tested against a cloud of plausible futures rather than a single guess.
• Why it fits trading workflows . It turns gut feel like “seasonality is supportive here” into quantitative ranges: “median path suggests +X% with a 68% band of ±Y%; stop at Z has only ~16% odds of being tagged in N days.”
How this indicator builds its probability cone
1) Seasonal pattern discovery
The script builds two day-of-year maps as new data arrives:
• A return map where each calendar day stores an exponentially smoothed average of that day’s log return (yesterday→today). The smoothing (90% old, 10% new) behaves like an EWMA, letting older seasons matter while adapting to new information.
• A volatility map that tracks the typical absolute return for the same calendar day.
It calculates the day-of-year carefully (with leap-year adjustment) and indexes into a 365-slot seasonal array so “March 18” is compared with past March 18ths. This becomes the seasonal bias that gently nudges simulations up or down on each forecast day.
2) Choice of randomness engine
You can pick how the future shocks are generated:
• Daily mode uses a Gaussian draw with the seasonal bias as the mean and a volatility that comes from realized returns, scaled down to avoid over-fitting. It relies on the Box–Muller transform internally to turn two uniform random numbers into one normal shock.
• Weekly mode uses bootstrap sampling from the seasonal return history (resampling actual historical daily drifts and then blending in a fraction of the seasonal bias). Bootstrapping is robust when the empirical distribution has asymmetry or fatter tails than a normal distribution.
Both modes seed their random draws deterministically per path and day, which makes plots reproducible bar-to-bar and avoids flickering bands.
3) Volatility scaling to current conditions
Markets do not always live in average volatility. The engine computes a simple volatility factor from ATR(20)/price and scales the simulated shocks up or down within sensible bounds (clamped between 0.5× and 2.0×). When the current regime is quiet, the cone narrows; when ranges expand, the cone widens. This prevents the classic mistake of projecting calm markets into a storm or vice versa.
4) Many futures, summarized by percentiles
The model generates a matrix of price paths (capped at 100 runs for performance inside TradingView), each path stepping forward for your selected horizon. For each forecast day it sorts the simulated prices and pulls key percentiles:
• 5th and 95th → approximate 95% band (outer cone).
• 16th and 84th → approximate 68% band (inner cone).
• 50th → the median or “expected path.”
These are drawn as polylines so you can immediately see central tendency and dispersion.
5) A historical overlay (optional)
Turn on the overlay to sketch a dotted path of what a purely seasonal projection would look like for the next ~30 days using only the return map, no randomness. This is not a forecast; it is a visual reminder of the seasonal drift you are biasing toward.
Inputs you control and how to think about them

• Enable Probability Forecasts . Master switch for simulation and drawing.
• Simulation Iterations . Requested number of paths to run. Internally capped at 100 to protect performance, which is generally enough to estimate the percentiles for a trading chart. If you need ultra-smooth bands, shorten the horizon.
• Forecast Days Ahead . The length of the cone. Longer horizons dilute seasonal signal and widen uncertainty.
• Probability Bands . Draw all bands, just 95%, just 68%, or a custom level (display logic remains 68/95 internally; the custom number is for labeling and color choice).
• Pattern Resolution . Daily leans on day-of-year effects like “turn-of-month” or holiday patterns. Weekly biases toward day-of-week tendencies and bootstraps from history.
• Volatility Scaling . On by default so the cone respects today’s range context.
Plotting & UI
• Probability Cone . Plots the outer and inner percentile envelopes.
• Expected Path . Plots the median line through the cone.
• Historical Overlay . Dotted seasonal-only projection for context.
• Band Transparency/Colors . Customize primary (outer) and secondary (inner) band colors and the mean path color. Use higher transparency for cleaner charts.
What appears on your chart
• A cone starting at the most recent bar, fanning outward. The outer lines are the ~95% band; the inner lines are the ~68% band.
• A median path (default blue) running through the center of the cone.
• An info panel on the final historical bar that summarizes simulation count, forecast days, number of seasonal patterns learned, the current day-of-year, expected percentage return to the median, and the approximate 95% half-range in percent.
• Optional historical seasonal path drawn as dotted segments for the next 30 bars.
How to use it in trading
1) Position sizing and stop logic
The cone translates “volatility plus seasonality” into distances.
• Put stops outside the inner band if you want only ~16% odds of a stop-out due to noise before your thesis can play.
• Size positions so that a test of the inner band is survivable and a test of the outer band is rare but acceptable.
• If your target sits inside the 68% band at your horizon, the payoff is likely modest; outside the 68% but inside the 95% can justify “one-good-push” trades; beyond the 95% band is a low-probability flyer—consider scaling plans or optionality.
2) Entry timing with seasonal bias
When the median path slopes up from this calendar date and the cone is relatively narrow, a pullback toward the lower inner band can be a high-quality entry with a tight invalidation. If the median slopes down, fade rallies toward the upper band or step aside if it clashes with your system.
3) Target selection
Project your time horizon to N bars ahead, then pick targets around the median or the opposite inner band depending on your style. You can also anchor dynamic take-profits to the moving median as new bars arrive.
4) Scenario planning & “what-ifs”
Before events, glance at the cone: if the 95% band already spans a huge range, trade smaller, expect whips, and avoid placing stops at obvious band edges. If the cone is unusually tight, consider breakout tactics and be ready to add if volatility expands beyond the inner band with follow-through.
5) Options and vol tactics
• When the cone is tight : Prefer long gamma structures (debit spreads) only if you expect a regime shift; otherwise premium selling may dominate.
• When the cone is wide : Debit structures benefit from range; credit spreads need wider wings or smaller size. Align with your separate IV metrics.
Reading the probability cone like a pro
• Cone slope = seasonal drift. Upward slope means the calendar has historically favored positive drift from this date, downward slope the opposite.
• Cone width = regime volatility. A widening fan tells you that uncertainty grows fast; a narrow cone says the market typically stays contained.
• Mean vs. price gap . If spot trades well above the median path and the upper band, mean-reversion risk is high. If spot presses the lower inner band in an up-sloping cone, you are in the “buy fear” zone.
• Touches and pierces . Touching the inner band is common noise; piercing it with momentum signals potential regime change; the outer band should be rare and often brings snap-backs unless there is a structural catalyst.
Methodological notes (what the code actually does)
• Log returns are used for additivity and better statistical behavior: sim_ret is applied via exp(sim_ret) to evolve price.
• Seasonal arrays are updated online with EWMA (90/10) so the model keeps learning as each bar arrives.
• Leap years are handled; indexing still normalizes into a 365-slot map so the seasonal pattern remains stable.
• Gaussian engine (Daily mode) centers shocks on the seasonal bias with a conservative standard deviation.
• Bootstrap engine (Weekly mode) resamples from observed seasonal returns and adds a fraction of the bias, which captures skew and fat tails better.
• Volatility adjustment multiplies each daily shock by a factor derived from ATR(20)/price, clamped between 0.5 and 2.0 to avoid extreme cones.
• Performance guardrails : simulations are capped at 100 paths; the probability cone uses polylines (no heavy fills) and only draws on the last confirmed bar to keep charts responsive.
• Prerequisite data : at least ~30 seasonal entries are required before the model will draw a cone; otherwise it waits for more history.
Strengths and limitations
• Strengths :
– Probabilistic thinking replaces single-point guessing.
– Seasonality adds a small but meaningful directional bias that many markets exhibit.
– Volatility scaling adapts to the current regime so the cone stays realistic.
• Limitations :
– Seasonality can break around structural changes, policy shifts, or one-off events.
– The number of paths is performance-limited; percentile estimates are good for trading, not for academic precision.
– The model assumes tomorrow’s randomness resembles recent randomness; if regime shifts violently, the cone will lag until the EWMA adapts.
– Holidays and missing sessions can thin the seasonal sample for some assets; be cautious with very short histories.
Tuning guide
• Horizon : 10–20 bars for tactical trades; 30+ for swing planning when you care more about broad ranges than precise targets.
• Iterations : The default 100 is enough for stable 5/16/50/84/95 percentiles. If you crave smoother lines, shorten the horizon or run on higher timeframes.
• Daily vs. Weekly : Daily for equities and crypto where month-end and turn-of-month effects matter; Weekly for futures and FX where day-of-week behavior is strong.
• Volatility scaling : Keep it on. Turn off only when you intentionally want a “pure seasonality” cone unaffected by current turbulence.
Workflow examples
• Swing continuation : Cone slopes up, price pulls into the lower inner band, your system fires. Enter near the band, stop just outside the outer line for the next 3–5 bars, target near the median or the opposite inner band.
• Fade extremes : Cone is flat or down, price gaps to the upper outer band on news, then stalls. Favor mean-reversion toward the median, size small if volatility scaling is elevated.
• Event play : Before CPI or earnings on a proxy index, check cone width. If the inner band is already wide, cut size or prefer options structures that benefit from range.
Good habits
• Pair the cone with your entry engine (breakout, pullback, order flow). Let Monte Carlo do range math; let your system do signal quality.
• Do not anchor blindly to the median; recalc after each bar. When the cone’s slope flips or width jumps, the plan should adapt.
• Validate seasonality for your symbol and timeframe; not every market has strong calendar effects.
Summary
The Seasonality Monte Carlo Forecaster wraps institutional risk planning into a single overlay: a data-driven seasonal drift, realistic volatility scaling, and a probabilistic cone that answers “where could we be, with what odds?” within your trading horizon. Use it to place stops where randomness is less likely to take you out, to set targets aligned with realistic travel, and to size positions with confidence born from distributions rather than hunches. It will not predict the future, but it will keep your decisions anchored to probabilities—the language markets actually speak.
Multi-Timeframe Bias Dashboard + VolatilityWhat it is: A corner table (overlay) that gives a quick higher-timeframe read for Daily / 4H / 1H using EMA alignment, MACD, RSI, plus a volatility gauge.
How it works (per timeframe):
EMA block (50/100/200): “Above/Below/Mixed” based on price vs all three EMAs.
MACD: “Bullish/Bearish/Neutral” from MACD line vs Signal and histogram sign.
RSI: Prints the value and an ↑/↓ based on 50 line.
Volatility: Compares ATR(14) to its SMA over 20 bars → High (>*1.2), Normal, Low (<*0.8).
Bias: Combines three votes (EMA, MACD, RSI):
Bullish if ≥2 bullish, Bearish if ≥2 bearish, else Mixed.
Display:
Rows: D / 4H / 1H.
Columns: Bias, EMA(50/100/200), RSI, MACD, Volatility.
Bias cell is color-coded (green/red/gray).
Position setting lets you park the table in Top Right / Bottom Right / Bottom Left (works on mobile too).
Use it for:
Quickly aligning intraday setups with higher-TF direction.
Skipping low-volatility periods.
Confirming momentum (MACD/RSI) when price returns to your OB/FVG zones.
Aladin 2.0 — Invite‑Only (Custom Smoother + Supertrend Filter)Aladin 2.0 invite‑only by @AryaTrades69
Overview
Aladin 2.0 blends a proprietary multi‑stage smoother baseline, volatility envelopes, and a Supertrend‑based ATR trailing filter to structure clean, bar‑close signals. Optional “golden‑zone style” retracement gating and mapped SL/TP zones are included. This is a tool for analysis, accuracy is best when you add manual confluence (trendlines, support/resistance) to filter out low‑quality signals.
What’s inside
Proprietary multi‑stage smoother (baseline)
Custom smoothed baseline with adjustable length and a smoothing coefficient. Drives core breakout logic without revealing internal formulas.
Volatility envelopes
Breakout candidates when price closes beyond adaptive volatility bands.
Supertrend‑based trend filter (optional, MTF)
ATR‑trailing regime filter to keep signals aligned with trend; can run on higher timeframes.
Golden‑zone style retracement gate (optional)
Only allow signals within a defined pullback zone of the recent range.
Spacing & structure controls
Minimum bars between signals plus a simple HH/LL gate to avoid clustered whipsaws.
SL/TP mapping (optional)
SL from most recent confirmed swing; ATR fallback if no swing is found.
TP1/TP2/TP3 by user‑defined R:R; move SL to breakeven at TP1.
Shaded zones for SL and target area (time‑limited for clarity).
How to use
Choose your timeframe (intraday to swing). Signals compute on bar close.
Enable the trend filter for strictly trend‑aligned entries (Supertrend‑based ATR trail). MTF is supported.
Use the golden‑zone gate to prioritize higher‑quality pullbacks.
Validate with manual confluence:
Trendlines, structure breaks
Support/resistance or supply/demand
Session/volatility context
Optionally enable SL/TP areas, set R:R, and configure alerts.
Inputs (key controls)
Smoother length & smoothing coefficient (baseline sensitivity/lag)
Range period & multiplier (volatility envelopes)
Min bars between signals (signal frequency)
Trend filter (ATR trail): factor, ATR period, line smoothing, optional higher timeframe
Golden‑zone retracement: lookback, min/max bounds
SL/TP: swing lookback, ATR fallback, TP1/2/3 R:R, zone display width
Alerts
Long/Short signal on bar close
TP1/TP2/TP3 hit
SL hit / Breakeven event
(Setup: Add Alert → Condition: Aladin 2.0 → choose event)
MTF & repaint policy
Signals are calculated on bar close; the trend filter uses security with lookahead off.
Swing‑based SL uses confirmed pivots.
With an HTF filter enabled on an LTF chart, the HTF line/state finalizes when the HTF bar closes (standard MTF behavior).
Best practices
Not a set‑and‑forget system. Accuracy improves when you manually filter weaker signals with trendlines and support/resistance, and prioritize clean market structure.
Consider conservative settings or the trend filter during choppy, low‑volatility periods.
