Type: Smart Long/Short Signal Indicator – Multi-Logic, Multi-Filter
Version: Pine Script v5
✅ What is SMT SignalX?
SMT SignalX is a powerful TradingView indicator that generates smart Long and Short entries by combining up to three layers of logic:
Dynamic Range Filter Logic
Trend Filter based on EMA crossover
RSI Filter (standard or RSI-only logic)
It also supports Multi-Timeframe (MTF) filtering for higher trend validation.
⚙️ Key Features
📏 1. Dynamic Range Filter Logic
Combines a fast and slow range filter based on volatility.
Creates an adaptive channel (with upper/lower bands).
Long condition: Price breaks above the filter and keeps rising.
Short condition: Price breaks below the filter and keeps falling.
📉 2. RSI – Relative Strength Index
As filter: blocks entries when RSI is overbought or oversold.
As main logic (RSI-only mode):
Short: RSI crosses above overbought level.
Long: RSI crosses below oversold level.
📊 3. Trend Filter (EMA-Based)
Uses two EMAs (100 and 200):
Only allows Longs when Fast EMA > Slow EMA.
Only allows Shorts when Fast EMA < Slow EMA.
⏱ 4. Multi-Timeframe Logic (MTF)
Validates entries by checking the signal condition on a higher timeframe (e.g., daily).
Helps filter out noise and fakeouts.
🧪 5. Custom EMAs
Includes up to 4 customizable EMAs for additional chart clarity or strategy alignment.
🎯 Signal Output
Displays "Long" and "Short" labels directly on the chart.
Logic layers are modular: combine and enable/disable as needed.
Great for backtesting and strategy building.
📈 Why It Stands Out

Linear Regression with StdDev BandsLinear Regression with Standard Deviation Bands Indicator
This indicator plots a linear regression line along with upper and lower bands based on standard deviation. It helps identify potential overbought and oversold conditions, as well as trend direction and strength.
Key Components:
Linear Regression Line: Represents the average price over a specified period.
Upper and Lower Bands: Calculated by adding and subtracting the standard deviation (multiplied by a user-defined factor) from the linear regression line. These bands act as dynamic support and resistance levels.
How to Use:
Trend Identification: The direction of the linear regression line indicates the prevailing trend.
Overbought/Oversold Signals: Prices approaching or crossing the upper band may suggest overbought conditions, while prices near the lower band may indicate oversold conditions.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: The bands can act as potential support and resistance levels.
Alerts: Option to enable alerts when the price crosses above the upper band or below the lower band.
Customization:
Regression Length: Adjust the period over which the linear regression is calculated.
StdDev Multiplier: Modify the width of the bands by changing the standard deviation multiplier.
Price Source: Choose which price data to use for calculations (e.g., close, open, high, low).
Alerts: Enable or disable alerts for band crossings.
This indicator is a versatile tool for understanding price trends and potential reversal points.

VWAP with Smart Bands v4## VWAP with Smart Bands v4
**Overview:**
This indicator provides a comprehensive Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) analysis tool, enhanced with multiple standard deviation bands, adaptive percentage-based tolerance zones, and optional stop-loss visualization lines. It's designed for intraday analysis, helping traders identify potential areas of support, resistance, mean reversion, and manage risk visually.
**Core Components:**
* **VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):** The core line, calculated fresh each day (or selected period), representing the average price weighted by volume. It acts as a benchmark for the current session's price action.
* **Standard Deviation Bands:** Plotted above and below the VWAP, these bands measure volatility and the expected range of price movement based on standard deviation calculations from the VWAP.
**Features & Options:**
* **VWAP Line:**
* `Color VWAP based on Close`: (Default: ON) Toggles dynamic coloring. When ON, the VWAP line turns bullish (green) if the closing price is above it and bearish (red) if below. When OFF, it uses a single default color (yellow).
Trade bounce and reclaim setup of the VWAP line.
* **Deviation Bands:**
* **Band 1:** (Default: ON, Dev 1.0) Typically represents 1 standard deviation (~68% of price action).
* **Band 2:** (Default: ON, Dev 2.0) Typically represents 2 standard deviations (~95% of price action).
* **Band 3:** (Default: OFF, Dev 3.0) Typically represents 3 standard deviations (~99.7% of price action), but can be set to any custom value (e.g., 1.5, 2.5) for flexibility.
* Each band can be toggled on/off independently.
Trade bounce and reclaim setup of these bands.
* **Tolerance Bands:** (Adaptive Percentage Based)
* Provides finer zones around the VWAP and Deviation Bands (1 & 2).
* Instead of fixed point values, the tolerance is set as a *percentage* of the line it surrounds (VWAP, Upper/Lower Band 1, Upper/Lower Band 2). This makes the tolerance zones automatically adapt to market volatility and price levels.
* `Tolerance % VWAP`: (Default: 0.1%, OFF) Adds +/- tolerance lines around the VWAP.
* `Tolerance % 1`: (Default: 0.1%, ON) Adds +/- tolerance lines around Band 1.
* `Tolerance % 2`: (Default: 0.1%, OFF) Adds +/- tolerance lines around Band 2.
These will help to make consistent decisions if trade setup is valid or not.
* **Stop-Loss (SL) Visualization Bands:** (Default: OFF)
* Optional step-lines to help visualize potential stop-loss placement areas relative to VWAP, Band 1, or Band 2.
* `SL % VWAP`: Defines SL lines as a percentage +/- from the VWAP value.
* `SL % Band 1 / Band 2`: Defines SL lines based on a percentage modification of the band's *deviation* from VWAP.
* `SL Position Band 1 / Band 2`: Choose whether the SL lines appear "Inside" (closer to VWAP), "Outside" (further from VWAP), or "Both" relative to the original deviation band.
* Plotted as dim yellow step-lines by default.
This will help to define stoploss distance and keeping it consistent.
* **Visual Settings:**
* `Fill between Price and VWAP`: (Default: OFF) Optionally fills the area between the closing price and the VWAP line with bullish/bearish colors.

// 1. **Range close box**: frames the main consolidation zone (candle bodies)
// 2. **Order block box**: tighter zone around the extremes (highs/lows of closes)
// A midline is drawn at the center of the order block (dashed)
// If price breaks the range boundaries, the zone is removed (range ended)

Adaptive ATR LimitsThis script plots adaptive ATR limits for intraday trading. It is intended for equities. It is not tested for other securities like futures, crypto, etc, though it may work for these too. It works for both regular trading hours and extended trading hours.
The limit lines (top and bottom) are always exactly 1 ATR/ADR apart. This is a key feature of the indicator.
The main mode is ATR, which includes overnight gaps and pre- and post-market movements. This also means the previous day close is considered to part of the current days range (which aligns with the definition of ATR). There is also an ADR mode, which uses the average range the price moves within regular hours only and is not affected by prices outside of these. Other than that, they work the same (including ATR/ADR length option and smoothing).
When in ADR mode, it treats premarket as a separate session from the regular/post-market and resets the session range at the regular market open. This is so it can plot the limits in the regular/post-market hours without being affected by the pre-market range. This is necessary since the daily ADR includes only regular market moves and due to the way the limits adapt.
It tries to plot the most sensible ATR limits based on the current daily ATR, in order to provide a visual target for how far a price could/should move intraday. In order to do this, it uses two methods to calculate limits, i) based on the mid-point of the current session range, and ii) based on the currently established range and current relative price position within that range.
The session starts using the first method. As more of the ATR is covered in the session, it transitions over of the second method. Once (if) the full ATR is covered within the session, it will have completely transitioned to the second method and will only use that for the rest of the session. In between these states, a weighted average of the two methods is used depending on the amount of the ATR the session has covered.
To explain the effect, as an example, imagine that the price is approaching the full ATR range on the high side. The indicator will have almost fully transitioned to the second (relative) method. The lower ATR limit will now be anchored to the daily low as the price hits the upper ATR limit. If the price goes beyond the upper ATR, the lower ATR limit will stay anchored to the daily low, and the upper limit will stay anchored to 1 ATR above the lower limit. This allows you to see how far the price is going beyond the upper ATR limit. If the price then returns and backs off the upper ATR limit, the lower ATR limit will un-anchor from the daily low (it will actually rise since the daily ATR range has been exceeded so the lower ATR limit needs to come up since the actual daily range can't fit into the ATR range anymore). The overall effect is to give you the best visual indication where the price is in relation to a possible upper ATR-based target. Reverse this example for when price low approaches the ATR range on the low side.
There is also a "basic mode" which simply plots 1 ATR/ADR above/below the session low/high. When using ADR, the session resets at the end of the pre-market.
The ATR length (averaging period) can be set (number of days), as well as a visual smoothing of the ATR limits using EMA.
Darvas Box (Close-based)This indicator builds Darvas Boxes using the closing prices of candles instead of their wicks (highs/lows).
It looks back over a set number of candles (default 5)
Finds the highest close and lowest close
Draws a box between these two levels on the chart
Helps identify consolidation zones and potential breakout points based on stable price closes
It’s a cleaner and more reliable version of the classic Darvas Box, especially useful in choppy markets where wicks are noisy.
HL2 Moving Average with BandsThis indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying potential trade entries and exits for S&P 500 (ES) and Nasdaq-100 (NQ) futures. It calculates a Simple Moving Average (SMA) based on the HL2 value (average of high and low prices) of the current candle over a user-defined lookback period (default: 200 periods). The indicator plots this SMA as a blue line, providing a smoothed reference for price trends.
Additionally, it includes upper and lower bands calculated as a percentage (default: 0.5%) above and below the SMA, plotted as green and red lines, respectively. These bands act as dynamic thresholds to identify overbought or oversold conditions. The indicator generates trade signals based on price action relative to these bands:
Long Entry: A green upward triangle is plotted below the candle when the close crosses above the upper band, signaling a potential buy.
Close Long: A red square is plotted above the candle when the close crosses back below the upper band, indicating an exit for the long position.
Short Entry: A red downward triangle is plotted above the candle when the close crosses below the lower band, signaling a potential sell.
Close Short: A green square is plotted below the candle when the close crosses back above the lower band, indicating an exit for the short position.
The script is customizable, allowing users to adjust the SMA length and band percentage to suit their trading style or market conditions. It is plotted as an overlay on the price chart for easy integration with other technical analysis tools.
Recommended Time Frame and Settings for Trading S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 Futures
Based on research and market dynamics for S&P 500 (ES) and Nasdaq-100 (NQ) futures, the 5-minute chart is recommended as the optimal time frame for day trading with this indicator. This time frame strikes a balance between capturing intraday trends and filtering out excessive noise, which is critical for futures trading due to their high volatility and leverage. The 5-minute chart aligns well with periods of high liquidity and volatility, such as the U.S. market open (9:30 AM–11:00 AM EST) and the afternoon session (2:00 PM–4:00 PM EST), when institutional traders are most active.
Why 5-minute? It allows traders to react to short-term price movements while avoiding the rapid fluctuations of 1-minute charts, which can be prone to false signals in choppy markets. It also provides enough data points to make the SMA and bands meaningful without the lag associated with longer time frames like 15-minute or hourly charts.
Recommended Settings
SMA Length: Set to 200 periods. This longer lookback period smooths the HL2 data, reducing noise and providing a reliable trend reference for the 5-minute chart. A 200-period SMA helps identify significant trend shifts without being overly sensitive to minor price fluctuations.
Band Percentage: 0.5% is more suitable for the volatility of ES and NQ futures on a 5-minute chart, as it generates fewer but higher-probability signals. Wider bands (e.g., 1%) may miss short-term opportunities, while narrower bands (e.g., 0.1%) may produce excessive false signals.
Trading Session Recommendations
Futures markets for ES and NQ are open nearly 24 hours (Sunday 6:00 PM EST to Friday 5:00 PM EST, with a daily break from 4:00 PM–5:00 PM EST), but not all hours are equally optimal due to varying liquidity and volatility. The best times to trade with this indicator are:
U.S. Market Open (9:30 AM–11:00 AM EST): This period is characterized by high volume and volatility, driven by the opening of U.S. equity markets and economic data releases (e.g., 8:30 AM EST reports like CPI or GDP). The indicator’s signals are more reliable during this window due to strong order flow and price momentum.
Afternoon Session (2:00 PM–4:00 PM EST): After the lunchtime lull, volume picks up as institutional traders return, and news or FOMC announcements often drive price action. The indicator can capture breakout moves as prices test the upper or lower bands.
Pre-Market (7:30 AM–9:30 AM EST): For traders comfortable with lower liquidity, this period can offer opportunities, especially around 8:30 AM EST economic releases. However, use tighter risk management due to wider spreads and potential volatility spikes.
Additional Tips
Avoid Low-Volume Periods: Steer clear of trading during low-liquidity hours, such as the overnight session (11:00 PM–3:00 AM EST), when spreads widen and price movements can be erratic, leading to false signals from the indicator.
Combine with Other Tools: Enhance the indicator’s effectiveness by pairing it with support/resistance levels, Fibonacci retracements, or volume analysis to confirm signals. For example, a long entry signal above the upper band is stronger if it coincides with a breakout above a key resistance level.
Risk Management: Given the leverage in futures (e.g., Micro E-mini contracts require ~$1,200 margin for ES), use tight stop-losses (e.g., below the lower band for longs or above the upper band for shorts) to manage risk. Aim for a risk-reward ratio of at least 1:2.
Test Settings: Backtest the indicator on a demo account to optimize the SMA length and band percentage for your specific trading style and risk tolerance. Micro E-mini contracts (MES for S&P 500, MNQ for Nasdaq-100) are ideal for testing due to their lower capital requirements.
Why These Settings and Time Frame?
The 5-minute chart with a 200-period SMA and 0.5% bands is tailored for the volatility and liquidity of ES and NQ futures during peak trading hours. The longer SMA period ensures the indicator captures meaningful trends, while the 0.5% bands are tight enough to signal actionable breakouts but wide enough to avoid excessive whipsaws. Trading during high-volume sessions maximizes the likelihood of valid signals, as institutional participation drives clearer price action.
By focusing on these settings and time frames, traders can leverage the indicator to capitalize on the dynamic price movements of S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures while managing the inherent risks of these markets.
Uptrend Filter: Price > 50 & 200 MA + Upward SlopeThis indicator is designed to help traders instantly identify strong uptrend conditions based on two simple yet powerful criteria:
Price is above both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages
Both moving averages are sloping upward (positive momentum)
When both conditions are met, the indicator plots a green “UP” label below the candle, signaling a valid uptrend setup. This filter is ideal for asset selection in strategy-building, portfolio rotation, or trend-following systems.
🧠 Why it works:
The 50-day MA reflects medium-term momentum.
The 200-day MA represents the long-term trend.
When both are aligned and sloping upward, it confirms strong market structure and trend health.
🧰 Best used for:
Token screening (e.g., filtering altcoins)
Momentum-based entries
