EMA Shakeout DetectorEMA Shakeout & Reclaim Zones
Description:
This Pine Script helps traders quickly identify potential shakeout entries based on price action and volume dynamics. Shakeouts often signal strong accumulation, where institutions drive the stock below a key moving average before reclaiming it, creating an opportunity for traders to enter at favorable prices.
How It Works:
1. Volume Surge Filtering:
a. Computes the 51-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of volume.
b. Identifies days where volume surged 2x above the 51-day average.
c. Filters stocks that had at least two such high-volume days in the last 21 trading days (configurable).
2. Stock Selection Criteria:
a. The stock must be within 25% of its 52-week high.
b. It should have rallied at least 30% from its 52-week low.
Shakeout Conditions:
1. The stock must be trading above the 51-day EMA before the shakeout.
2. A sudden price drop of more than 10% occurs, pushing the stock below the 51-day EMA.
3. A key index (e.g., Nifty 50, S&P 500) must be trading above its 10-day EMA, ensuring overall market strength.
Visualization:
Shakeout zones are highlighted in blue, making it easier to spot potential accumulation areas and study price & volume action in more detail.
This script is ideal for traders looking to identify institutional shakeouts and gain an edge by recognizing high-probability reversal setups.

CISD with Alerts [neo|]█ OVERVIEW
CISD (or Change in State of Delivery) is an ICT concept and reversal pattern which may allow traders to identify reversals or changes in market structure early, compared to using traditional market structure. This script aims to correctly identify, and update these levels and provide alerts, so that traders can take advantage of this concept with ease.
█ CONCEPTS
Simply put, CISD may be identified when price closes above the open of the candle which started the most recent downtrend or liquidity sweep. Generally, it is most powerful when applied to key points in the market as a confirmation from where you may want price to reverse.
For example, when price is in a downtrend, we take the open of the last consecutive downwards candle and observe the CISD once price closes above it, beginning an uptrend.
Examples:
COMEX:GC1!
CME_MINI:NQ1!
█ How to use
To use the indicator, simply apply it to your chart and modify any of your desired inputs.
• Bullish CISD color allows you to change the color of +CISD levels.
• Bearish CISD color allows you to change the color of -CISD levels.
• Line width allows you to modify the width of +-CISD lines.
• Line extension bars allows you to change how far ahead CISD levels are drawn (by default it is 5).
• Keep old CISD levels will allow you to preserve all past CISD levels if you would like to observe the logic.
• Enable stat table will let you add a table on your chart which will tell you the current CISD trend, as well as your ticker and timeframe.
• Table position allows you to customize where the table will appear on your chart.
EMA Price Range by tuanduongEMA Price Range Indicator – Dynamic Range Analysis with Custom EMA (tuanduong2511)
Overview
The EMA Price Range Indicator is designed to help traders visualize the distance between price action and a key Exponential Moving Average (EMA). This indicator dynamically calculates the range from each candle to a user-defined EMA and displays it in a real-time table. By understanding the relationship between price and the EMA, traders can better gauge potential support, resistance, and overextension in the market.
Key Features
✅ Customizable EMA – Allows users to choose the EMA period that best suits their strategy (default: 144).
✅ Real-Time Range Calculation – Computes the absolute difference between the EMA and the price (using the high or low, depending on whether the candle is above or below the EMA).
✅ Minimalist UI – The EMA is plotted directly on the chart, while a small table in the bottom-right corner provides numerical insights, reducing chart clutter.
✅ Versatile Use Cases – Suitable for trend-following traders (identifying pullbacks to EMA) and mean-reversion traders (spotting extended price movements).
How It Works
User-Defined EMA:
The script calculates an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) based on the selected period.
EMA adapts dynamically, giving more weight to recent price movements.
Range Calculation:
If the price is above the EMA, the range is measured from the high point of the candle to the EMA.
If the price is below the EMA, the range is measured from the low point of the candle to the EMA.
This approach ensures that we’re measuring the most relevant distance for price interaction.
Live Table Display:
The current EMA value and the distance (range) from the price are displayed in a small table in the bottom-right corner of the chart.
How to Use It
📌 Trend Traders: Use the indicator to track pullbacks to key EMAs (e.g., EMA 50, 144, or 200). When the price is far from the EMA, it may indicate an overextended trend or potential retracement zone.
📌 Mean Reversion Traders: Look for extreme deviations between price and the EMA. Large distances can signal potential price snapbacks to the mean.
📌 Scalping & Day Trading: Short-term traders can use it with fast EMAs (e.g., EMA 21 or 34) to measure quick price movements relative to short-term momentum.
Why This Indicator?
Unlike traditional EMA indicators, which only plot a moving average, this script provides quantifiable price distance to the EMA, helping traders make data-driven decisions. It allows traders to answer:
✅ Is the price stretched too far from the EMA?
✅ Should I wait for a pullback before entering?
✅ Is the trend strong, or is the price losing momentum?
By integrating EMA-based range analysis, traders gain a clearer understanding of market conditions and can improve their entry, exit, and risk management strategies.

BIN Based Support and Resistance [SS]This indicator presents a version of an alternative way to determine support and resistance, using a method called "Bins".
Bins provide for a flexible and interesting way to determine support and resistance levels.
First off, let's discuss BINS:
Bins are ranges or containers into which your data points can be sorted. For example, if you're grouping ages, you might have bins like 0–18, 19–35, 36–50, and 51+. Any data point within these intervals gets placed in the corresponding bin.
Binning simplifies complex data sets by grouping values into categories. This is useful for such things as
Visualizing data in histograms or bar charts.
Reducing noise and highlighting trends.
This indicator groups the price action into 10 separate bins. It determines the Support / Resistance level by averaging the values in the Bins to find an iteration of the "central tendency" or average reoccurring value.
Pros and Cons
Since this is a different approach to support and resistance, I think its important to highlight some of the pros and advantages, but also be open about the cons.
First off the PROS
Bin Based Support and Resistance Levels dynamically adjust to ranges as opposed to hard / fast peaks and valleys. This makes them better at analyzing price action vs simply drawing lines at random peaks and valleys.
Because Bins are analyzing ALL PA within a period's max and min range, Bin Support and Resistance can actually be used similar to Volume profile, where you are able to identify a pseudo-POC, or areas where price tends to consolidate. Take a look at this example on SPY:
You can see these 2 SR lines are close together. This represents that this general price range is an area where price likes to accumulate/consolidate. You can see the SPY ended up coming back to this range and consolidating there for a bit.
This is a strength of using a BIN based approach to calculating support and resistance, because as indicated before, it looks at price action vs peaks and valleys.
As a tip, these areas are areas you want to wait for a break in one direction or the other.
The indicator provides for backtest results of the support and resistance lines, to see how many times certain areas acted as resistance or support. Because this is analyzing and distributing PA evenly throughout the period's max and min, the indicator can tell you which areas tend to have higher rejection zones and which have higher support zones.
Now the CONS
Because bin based SR take an average approach, the SR lines can sometimes be slightly broken before the ticker finds rejection:
To combat this, make sure there is confirmed support. How the indicator actually backtests these lines is by waiting to see if the ticker has 3 consecutive closes above the support line or below the resistance line. So these are things to be mindful of.
It doesn't consider pivots. Most support and resistance indicators either identify max and min peaks and valleys or use pivot points. Pivot points are a great way to identify peaks and valleys and thus by extension support and resistance. However, this is also somewhat of a strength, as using BINS forces the indicator to consider ALL price action and not just the extremes (highs and lows).
Can be slightly skewed in highly volatile environments. Any time there is a massive drop or rally, it can skew the indicator to give extreme ranges to both ends. For example, the Tariff news collapse on ES1!:
Owning to limitations in lookback length, sometimes the min and max range can be exceeded and other traditional areas of support / resistance is where a ticker will find support.
Using the indicator
Here are some basic use/functionalities of the indicator:
Selecting display of backtest results: You can select to have the backtest results shown in a table:
Or directly on the lines:
Inversely, you can toggle them off completely:
You can modify the lookback length. The suggested lookback length is between 250 to 500 candles on smaller timeframes. I also suggest 252 on daily timeframes (which represents 1 trading year).
And that's the indicator!
It is very easy to use, so you should pick it up in no time!
Enjoy and as always, 🚀🚀 safe trades! 🚀🚀
Body Percentage of Range (Colored)Short Description:
This indicator measures the dominance of the candle's body relative to its total range (High - Low), providing a visual gauge of intra-candle strength versus indecision. Columns are colored based on whether the body constitutes more or less than a defined percentage (default 50%) of the candle's total height.
Detailed Description:
What it Does:
The "Body Percentage of Range" indicator calculates, for each candle, what percentage of the total price range (High minus Low) is occupied by the candle's body (absolute difference between Open and Close).
A value of 100% means the candle has no wicks (a Marubozu), indicating strong conviction during that period.
A value of 0% means the candle has no body (a Doji), indicating perfect indecision.
Values in between show the relative balance between the directional move (body) and the price exploration/rejection (wicks).
How to Interpret:
The indicator plots this percentage as columns:
Column Height: Represents the percentage of the body relative to the total range. Higher columns indicate a larger body dominance.
Column Color:
Green Columns: Appear when the body percentage is above the user-defined threshold (default 50%). This suggests that the directional move within the candle was stronger than the indecision (wicks). Often seen during trending moves or strong momentum candles.
Red Columns: Appear when the body percentage is at or below the user-defined threshold (default 50%). This suggests that wicks dominate the candle (body is 50% or less of the range), indicating significant indecision, struggle between buyers and sellers, or potential reversals. These are common in choppy, consolidating, or reversal market conditions.
Orange Line (Optional MA): A Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the body percentages is plotted to help smooth the readings and identify broader periods where candle structure indicates more trending (high MA) vs. ranging/indecisive (low MA) characteristics.
Potential Use Cases:
Identifying Choppy vs. Trending Markets: Sustained periods of low, predominantly red columns (and often a low/declining MA) can signal a choppy, range-bound market where trend-following strategies might underperform. Conversely, periods with frequent high, green columns suggest a more trending environment.
Confirming Breakouts/Momentum: High green columns appearing alongside increased volume during a breakout can add conviction to the move's strength.
Spotting Potential Exhaustion/Reversals: A very tall green column after a strong trend, followed immediately by a low red column (like a Doji or Spinning Top pattern appearing on the price chart), might signal potential exhaustion or a pending reversal, indicating indecision has suddenly entered the market.
Filtering Entries: Traders might avoid taking entries (especially trend-following ones) when the indicator shows a consistent pattern of low red columns, suggesting high market indecision.
Settings:
Color Threshold %: Allows you to set the percentage level above which columns turn green (default is 50%).
Smoothing MA Length: Adjusts the lookback period for the Simple Moving Average.
Disclaimer:
This indicator is a tool for technical analysis and should be used in conjunction with other methods (like price action, volume analysis, other indicators) and robust risk management. It does not provide direct buy/sell signals and past performance is not indicative of future results.

Gioteen-NormThe "Gioteen-Norm" indicator is a versatile and powerful technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify key market conditions such as divergences, overbought/oversold levels, and trend strength. By normalizing price data relative to a moving average and standard deviation, this indicator provides a unique perspective on price behavior, making it easier to spot potential reversals or continuations in the market.
The indicator calculates a normalized value based on the difference between the selected price and its moving average, scaled by the standard deviation over a user-defined period. Additionally, an optional moving average of this normalized value (Green line) can be plotted to smooth the output and enhance signal clarity. This dual-line approach makes it an excellent tool for both short-term and long-term traders.
***Key Features
Divergence Detection: The Gioteen-Norm excels at identifying divergences between price action and the normalized indicator value. For example, if the price makes a higher high while Red line forms a lower high, it may signal a bearish divergence, hinting at a potential reversal.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions: Extreme values of Red line (e.g., significantly above or below zero) can indicate overbought or oversold conditions, helping traders anticipate pullbacks or bounces.
Trend Strength Insight: The normalized output reflects how far the price deviates from its average, providing a measure of momentum and trend strength.
**Customizable Parameters
Traders can adjust the period, moving average type, applied price, and shift to suit their trading style and timeframe.
**How It Works
Label1 (Red Line): Represents the normalized price deviation from a user-selected moving average (SMA, EMA, SMMA, or LWMA) divided by the standard deviation over the specified period. This line highlights the relative position of the price compared to its historical range.
Label2 (Green Line, Optional): A moving average of Label1, which smooths the normalized data to reduce noise and provide clearer signals. This can be toggled on or off via the "Draw MA" option.
**Inputs
Period: Length of the lookback period for normalization (default: 100).
MA Method: Type of moving average for normalization (SMA, EMA, SMMA, LWMA; default: EMA).
Applied Price: Price type used for calculation (Close, Open, High, Low, HL2, HLC3, HLCC4; default: Close).
Shift: Shifts the indicator forward or backward (default: 0).
Draw MA: Toggle the display of the Label2 moving average (default: true).
MA Period: Length of the moving average for Label2 (default: 50).
MA Method (Label2): Type of moving average for Label2 (SMA, EMA, SMMA, LWMA; default: SMA).
**How to Use
Divergence Trading: Look for discrepancies between price action and Label1. A bullish divergence (higher low in Label1 vs. lower low in price) may suggest a buying opportunity, while a bearish divergence could indicate a selling opportunity.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Monitor extreme Label1 values. For instance, values significantly above +2 or below -2 could indicate overextension, though traders should define thresholds based on the asset and timeframe.
Trend Confirmation: Use Label2 to confirm trend direction. A rising Label2 suggests increasing bullish momentum, while a declining Label2 may indicate bearish pressure.
Combine with Other Tools: Pair Gioteen-Norm with support/resistance levels, RSI, or volume indicators for a more robust trading strategy.
**Notes
The indicator is non-overlay, meaning it plots below the price chart in a separate panel.
Avoid using a Period value of 1, as it may lead to unstable results due to insufficient data for standard deviation calculation.
This tool is best used as part of a broader trading system rather than in isolation.
**Why Use Gioteen-Norm?
The Gioteen-Norm indicator offers a fresh take on price normalization, blending statistical analysis with moving average techniques. Its flexibility and clarity make it suitable for traders of all levels—whether you're scalping on short timeframes or analyzing long-term trends.

Cz ASR indicatorAverage session range indicator built by me. Great tool to gauge volatility and intraday reversal zones. Great for FX as there is an included table that shows range in pips; however, this can be applied across all assets as a volatility measure.
How it works:
The script measures the range of sessions, including Asia, London, and New York. The lookback period could be adjusted so you can find what length works best and is most accurate. This is then averaged out to provide the ASR. This provides us with an upper and lower bound of which the price could potentially fluctuate in based on the past session ranges. I have also added the 50% ASR, which is also a super useful metric for reversals or continuations.
There is also a configurable UTC so that you can adjust the indicator so it can accurately measure the range within certain sessions.
Note - different session start and stop times vary from market to market. I have set the code to the standard forex market opens however, if you wish to change the time ,you are able to do so by editing the variables in the script
Enjoy :)
Vertical Line at Specified HoursThis script helps you easily separate time.
This indicator can be used for many different purposes. For example, I use it to separate different days and sessions.
Features :
1- Ability to use 10 vertical lines simultaneously
2- The Possibility to change the color of lines
3- The Possibility to change the line type
Tip : The times you enter in the input section must be in the New York time zone.

Customizable RSI/StochRSI Double ConfirmationBelow are the key adjustable parameters in the script and their usage:
RSI Parameters
RSI Length: The number of periods used to calculate the RSI, with a default value of 7. Adjusting this parameter changes the sensitivity of the RSI—shorter periods make it more sensitive, while longer periods make it smoother.
RSI Source: The price source used for RSI calculation, defaulting to the closing price (close). This can be changed to the opening price or other price types as needed.
StochRSI Parameters
StochRSI Length: The number of periods used to calculate the StochRSI, with a default value of 5. This affects how quickly the StochRSI reacts to changes in the RSI.
StochRSI Smooth K: The smoothing period for the StochRSI %K line, with a default value of 3. This is used to reduce noise.
StochRSI Smooth D: The smoothing period for the StochRSI %D line, with a default value of 3. It works in conjunction with %K to provide more stable signals.
Signal Thresholds
RSI Buy Threshold: A buy signal is triggered when the RSI crosses above this value (default 20).
RSI Sell Threshold: A sell signal is triggered when the RSI crosses below this value (default 80).
StochRSI Buy Threshold: A buy signal is triggered when the StochRSI %K crosses above this value (default 20).
StochRSI Sell Threshold: A sell signal is triggered when the StochRSI %K crosses below this value (default 80).
Signals
RSI Buy/Sell Signals: When the RSI crosses the buy/sell threshold, a green "RSI Buy" or red "RSI Sell" is displayed on the chart.
StochRSI Buy/Sell Signals: When the StochRSI %K crosses the buy/sell threshold, a yellow "StochRSI Buy" or purple "StochRSI Sell" is displayed.
Double Buy/Sell Signals: When both RSI and StochRSI simultaneously trigger buy/sell signals, a green "Double Buy" or red "Double Sell" is displayed, indicating a stronger trading opportunity.
The volatility of different cryptocurrencies varies, and different parameters may be suitable for each. Users need to experiment and select the most appropriate parameters themselves.

Sentiment Master Oscillator[BullByte]
The Sentiment Master Oscillator is a modern market sentiment indicator designed for traders seeking to identify early trend shifts and potential reversals with clarity. This oscillator combines multiple technical tools—RSI, MACD, EMAs, ADX, ATR, and volume filters—to deliver layered signals that help you assess market momentum in a clear and simplified manner.
Key Features:
- Multi-Indicator Approach :
Integrates RSI (with a smoothing function), MACD, and two EMAs to gauge momentum and trend direction. The oscillator also includes ADX and ATR filters to ensure that only markets with sufficient directional strength and volatility generate signals.
- Dynamic Signal Zones :
The oscillator produces a raw value ranging roughly from -3 to +3 (adjustable via a scaling factor). Positive readings suggest bullish conditions, while negative readings indicate bearish trends. Visual zones (Early, Confirmed, Strong) are clearly marked with color-coded horizontal lines to help you interpret the strength of the signal at a glance.
- Adaptive Smoothing :
For those who prefer quicker, more responsive signals (ideal for scalping), an adaptive smoothing option is available. When enabled, it applies a shorter smoothing period to the oscillator; otherwise, a more conservative base period is used.
- Reversal Alerts :
Yellow dots are plotted on the chart to highlight potential reversal points. These alerts are triggered when the oscillator crosses specific thresholds, coupled with volume and ATR conditions, signaling that a top or bottom may be forming.
- Customizable Filters :
- ATR Filter :Ensures that the market's volatility is above a set threshold before signaling.
- ADX Filter :Confirms sufficient trend strength.
- Volume Filter : Requires that trading volume surges above a multiple of its simple moving average, filtering out low-volume noise.
- Clear Signal Messaging :
Based on the combined signals from various indicators, the script categorizes market sentiment into actionable messages such as "Early Buy", "Confirmed Buy", "Strong Buy", "Early Sell", "Confirmed Sell", and "Strong Sell". A "Grey Zone" label is used when the oscillator is near neutral, indicating that no clear trend is present.
How to Use :
1. Entry and Exit Decisions : Use the different signal stages (Early, Confirmed, Strong) as guides for your entries and exits.
2. Trend Confirmation : Rely on the multi-indicator setup for added confirmation of prevailing market conditions before executing trades.
3. Reversal Cues : Pay attention to the reversal dots for potential turning points in the market, which can be used to adjust positions or initiate trades.

Trendline Breakout Navigator [LuxAlgo]The Trendline Breakout Navigator indicator shows three trendlines, representing trends of different significance between Swing Points.
Dots highlight a Higher Low (HL) or Lower High (LH) that pierces through the Trendline without the closing price breaking the Trendline.
A bar color and background color option is included, which offers insights into the price against the trendlines.
🔶 USAGE
Trendlines (TL) are drawn, starting as a horizontal line from a Swing Point.
When an HL (in the case of a bullish TL) or an LH (bearish TL) is found, this Swing Point is connected to the first Swing Point. In both cases, the TL can be optimized when one or more historical close prices breach the TL (see DETAILS).
A solid-styled long-term trendline represents the overall market direction, while a dashed-styled medium-term trendline captures medium-term movements within the long-term trend. Finally, a dotted-styled short-term trendline tracks short-term fluctuations.
🔹 Swing Points vs. Trend
A "Higher High" (HH) or "Lower Low" (LL) will initialize a new trendline, respectively, starting from the previous "Swing Low" or Swing High".
To spot the trend shift, "HH/LL" labels and an optional background color are included. They can be enabled/disabled or set at "Long, Medium, or Short" term TL (Settings—"MS", "HH/LL" and "Background Color").
These features are linked to one Trendline of choice only.
Where the "HH/LL" labels can show a potential trend shift, the background color is:
Green from the moment the close price breaks above a bearish trendline or when an HH occurs
Red from the moment the close price breaks below a bullish trendline or when an LL occurs
🔹 Bar Color
The bar color will depend on the location of the closing price against the three trendlines. When a trendline is unavailable (for example, if the close price breaks the TL and there is no HH/LL), the last known trendline value will be considered.
All three trendlines influence the bar color.
If the close price is above the "Long Term" TL, the bar color will show a gradient of green, darker when the close price is below the "Medium Term" and/or "Short Term" TLs.
On the other hand, when the close price is below the "Long Term" TL, the bar color will show a gradient of red, which becomes darker when the close price is above the "Medium Term" and/or "Short Term" TLs.
To keep the above example simple, only the "Long Term" TL is considered. The white line (not included in the script) resembles the actual value of the TL at each bar, where you can see the effect on the bar color.
Combined with the trendlines and dots, the bar color can provide extra depth and insights into the underlying trends.
🔹 Tested Trendlines
If a new HL/LH pierces the Trendline without the close price breaking the Trendline, the Trendline will be updated.
The exact location where the price exceeded the Trendline is visualized by a dot, colored blue on a bullish trendline and orange when bearish.
These dots can be indicative of a potential trend continuation or reversal.
🔹 Higher TimeFrame Option
The "Period" setting enables users to visualize higher-timeframe trendlines as long as the line length doesn't exceed 5000 bars.
🔶 DETAILS
When a new trendline is drawn, the script first draws a preliminary line and then checks whether a historical close price exceeded this line above (in the case of a bearish TL) or below (in a bullish case).
Subsequently, the most valid point in between is chosen as the starting point of the Trendline.
🔶 SETTINGS
Period: Choose "chart" for trendlines from the current chart timeframe, or choose a higher timeframe
🔹 Swing Length
Toggle and Swing Length for three trendlines: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer-term Swing Levels.
🔹 Style
Trendline: color for bullish/bearish Trendline
Wick Dot: color for bullish/bearish trendline test
Term: Long-, medium- or short-term
HH/LL: Show HH/LL labels (with or without previous Swing High/Low) of chosen Term
Background Color: Green when the closing price is above the trendline of choice, red otherwise

Uptrick: Z-Score FlowOverview
Uptrick: Z-Score Flow is a technical indicator that integrates trend-sensitive momentum analysi s with mean-reversion logic derived from Z-Score calculations. Its primary objective is to identify market conditions where price has either stretched too far from its mean (overbought or oversold) or sits at a statistically “normal” range, and then cross-reference this observation with trend direction and RSI-based momentum signals. The result is a more contextual approach to trade entry and exit, emphasizing precision, clarity, and adaptability across varying market regimes.
Introduction
Financial instruments frequently transition between trending modes, where price extends strongly in one direction, and ranging modes, where price oscillates around a central value. A simple statistical measure like Z-Score can highlight price extremes by comparing the current price against its historical mean and standard deviation. However, such extremes alone can be misleading if the broader market structure is trending forcefully. Uptrick: Z-Score Flow aims to solve this gap by combining Z-Score with an exponential moving average (EMA) trend filter and a smoothed RSI momentum check, thus filtering out signals that contradict the prevailing market environment.
Purpose
The purpose of this script is to help traders pinpoint both mean-reversion opportunities and trend-based pullbacks in a way that is statistically grounded yet still mindful of overarching price action. By pairing Z-Score thresholds with supportive conditions, the script reduces the likelihood of acting on random price spikes or dips and instead focuses on movements that are significant within both historical and current contextual frameworks.
Originality and Uniquness
Layered Signal Verification: Signals require the fulfillment of multiple layers (Z-Score extreme, EMA trend bias, and RSI momentum posture) rather than merely breaching a statistical threshold.
RSI Zone Lockout: Once RSI enters an overbought/oversold zone and triggers a signal, the script locks out subsequent signals until RSI recovers above or below those zones, limiting back-to-back triggers.
Controlled Cooldown: A dedicated cooldown mechanic ensures that the script waits a specified number of bars before issuing a new signal in the opposite direction.
Gradient-Based Visualization: Distinct gradient fills between price and the Z-Mean line enhance readability, showing at a glance whether price is trading above or below its statistical average.
Comprehensive Metrics Panel: An optional on-chart table summarizes the Z-Score’s key metrics, streamlining the process of verifying current statistical extremes, mean levels, and momentum directions.
Why these indicators were merged
Z-Score measurements excel at identifying when price deviates from its mean, but they do not intrinsically reveal whether the market’s trajectory supports a reversion or if price might continue along its trend. The EMA, commonly used for spotting trend directions, offers valuable insight into whether price is predominantly ascending or descending. However, relying solely on a trend filter overlooks the intensity of price moves. RSI then adds a dedicated measure of momentum, helping confirm if the market’s energy aligns with a potential reversal (for example, price is statistically low but RSI suggests looming upward momentum). By uniting these three lenses—Z-Score for statistical context, EMA for trend direction, and RSI for momentum force—the script offers a more comprehensive and adaptable system, aiming to avoid false positives caused by focusing on just one aspect of price behavior.
Calculations
The core calculation begins with a simple moving average (SMA) of price over zLen bars, referred to as the basis. Next, the script computes the standard deviation of price over the same window. Dividing the difference between the current price and the basis by this standard deviation produces the Z-Score, indicating how many standard deviations the price is from its mean. A positive Z-Score reveals price is above its average; a negative reading indicates the opposite.
To detect overall market direction, the script calculates an exponential moving average (emaTrend) over emaTrendLen bars. If price is above this EMA, the script deems the market bullish; if below, it’s considered bearish. For momentum confirmation, the script computes a standard RSI over rsiLen bars, then applies a smoothing EMA over rsiEmaLen bars. This smoothed RSI (rsiEma) is monitored for both its absolute level (oversold or overbought) and its slope (the difference between the current and previous value). Finally, slopeIndex determines how many bars back the script compares the basis to check whether the Z-Mean line is generally rising, falling, or flat, which then informs the coloring scheme on the chart.
Calculations and Rational
Simple Moving Average for Baseline: An SMA is used for the core mean because it places equal weight on each bar in the lookback period. This helps maintain a straightforward interpretation of overbought or oversold conditions in the context of a uniform historical average.
Standard Deviation for Volatility: Standard deviation measures the variability of the data around the mean. By dividing price’s difference from the mean by this value, the Z-Score can highlight whether price is unusually stretched given typical volatility.
Exponential Moving Average for Trend: Unlike an SMA, an EMA places more emphasis on recent data, reacting quicker to new price developments. This quicker response helps the script promptly identify trend shifts, which can be crucial for filtering out signals that go against a strong directional move.
RSI for Momentum Confirmation: RSI is an oscillator that gauges price movement strength by comparing average gains to average losses over a set period. By further smoothing this RSI with another EMA, short-lived oscillations become less influential, making signals more robust.
SlopeIndex for Slope-Based Coloring: To clarify whether the market’s central tendency is rising or falling, the script compares the basis now to its level slopeIndex bars ago. A higher current reading indicates an upward slope; a lower reading, a downward slope; and similar readings, a flat slope. This is visually represented on the chart, providing an immediate sense of the directionality.
Inputs
zLen (Z-Score Period)
Specifies how many bars to include for computing the SMA and standard deviation that form the basis of the Z-Score calculation. Larger values produce smoother but slower signals; smaller values catch quick changes but may generate noise.
emaTrendLen (EMA Trend Filter)
Sets the length of the EMA used to detect the market’s primary direction. This is pivotal for distinguishing whether signals should be considered (price aligning with an uptrend or downtrend) or filtered out.
rsiLen (RSI Length)
Defines the window for the initial RSI calculation. This RSI, when combined with the subsequent smoothing EMA, forms the foundation for momentum-based signal confirmations.
rsiEmaLen (EMA of RSI Period)
Applies an exponential moving average over the RSI readings for additional smoothing. This step helps mitigate rapid RSI fluctuations that might otherwise produce whipsaw signals.
zBuyLevel (Z-Score Buy Threshold)
Determines how negative the Z-Score must be for the script to consider a potential oversold signal. If the Z-Score dives below this threshold (and other criteria are met), a buy signal is generated.
zSellLevel (Z-Score Sell Threshold)
Determines how positive the Z-Score must be for a potential overbought signal. If the Z-Score surpasses this threshold (and other checks are satisfied), a sell signal is generated.
cooldownBars (Cooldown (Bars))
Enforces a bar-based delay between opposite signals. Once a buy signal has fired, the script must wait the specified number of bars before registering a new sell signal, and vice versa.
slopeIndex (Slope Sensitivity (Bars))
Specifies how many bars back the script compares the current basis for slope coloration. A bigger slopeIndex highlights larger directional trends, while a smaller number emphasizes shorter-term shifts.
showMeanLine (Show Z-Score Mean Line)
Enables or disables the plotting of the Z-Mean and its slope-based coloring. Traders who prefer minimal chart clutter may turn this off while still retaining signals.
Features
Statistical Core (Z-Score Detection):
This feature computes the Z-Score by taking the difference between the current price and the basis (SMA) and dividing by the standard deviation. In effect, it translates price fluctuations into a standardized measure that reveals how significant a move is relative to the typical variation seen over the lookback. When the Z-Score crosses predefined thresholds (zBuyLevel for oversold and zSellLevel for overbought), it signals that price could be at an extreme.
How It Works: On each bar, the script updates the SMA and standard deviation. The Z-Score is then refreshed accordingly. Traders can interpret particularly large negative or positive Z-Score values as scenarios where price is abnormally low or high.
EMA Trend Filter:
An EMA over emaTrendLen bars is used to classify the market as bullish if the price is above it and bearish if the price is below it. This classification is applied to the Z-Score signals, accepting them only when they align with the broader price direction.
How It Works: If the script detects a Z-Score below zBuyLevel, it further checks if price is actually in a downtrend (below EMA) before issuing a buy signal. This might seem counterintuitive, but a “downtrend” environment plus an oversold reading often signals a potential bounce or a mean-reversion play. Conversely, for sell signals, the script checks if the market is in an uptrend first. If it is, an overbought reading aligns with potential profit-taking.
RSI Momentum Confirmation with Oversold/Overbought Lockout:
RSI is calculated over rsiLen, then smoothed by an EMA over rsiEmaLen. If this smoothed RSI dips below a certain threshold (for example, 30) and then begins to slope upward, the indicator treats it as a potential sign of recovering momentum. Similarly, if RSI climbs above a certain threshold (for instance, 70) and starts to slope downward, that suggests dwindling momentum. Additionally, once RSI is in these zones, the indicator locks out repetitive signals until RSI fully exits and re-enters those extreme territories.
How It Works: Each bar, the script measures whether RSI has dropped below the oversold threshold (like 30) and has a positive slope. If it does, the buy side is considered “unlocked.” For sell signals, RSI must exceed an overbought threshold (70) and slope downward. The combination of threshold and slope helps confirm that a reversal is genuinely in progress instead of issuing signals while momentum remains weak or stuck in extremes.
Cooldown Mechanism:
The script features a custom bar-based cooldown that prevents issuing new signals in the opposite direction immediately after one is triggered. This helps avoid whipsaw situations where the market quickly flips from oversold to overbought or vice versa.
How It Works: When a buy signal fires, the indicator notes the bar index. If the Z-Score and RSI conditions later suggest a sell, the script compares the current bar index to the last buy signal’s bar index. If the difference is within cooldownBars, the signal is disallowed. This ensures a predefined “quiet period” before switching signals.
Slope-Based Coloring (Z-Mean Line and Shadow):
The script compares the current basis value to its value slopeIndex bars ago. A higher reading now indicates a generally upward slope, while a lower reading indicates a downward slope. The script then shades the Z-Mean line in a corresponding bullish or bearish color, or remains neutral if little change is detected.
How It Works: This slope calculation is refreshingly straightforward: basis – basis . If the result is positive, the line is colored bullish; if negative, it is colored bearish; if approximately zero, it remains neutral. This provides a quick visual cue of the medium-term directional bias.
Gradient Overlays:
With gradient fills, the script highlights where price stands in relation to the Z-Mean. When price is above the basis, a purple-shaded region is painted, visually indicating a “bearish zone” for potential overbought conditions. When price is below, a teal-like overlay is used, suggesting a “bullish zone” for potential oversold conditions.
How It Works: Each bar, the script checks if price is above or below the basis. It then applies a fill between close and basis, using distinct colors to show whether the market is trading above or below its mean. This creates an immediate sense of how extended the market might be.
Buy and Sell Labels (with Alerts):
When a legitimate buy or sell condition passes every check (Z-Score threshold, EMA trend alignment, RSI gating, and cooldown clearance), the script plots a corresponding label directly on the chart. It also fires an alert (if alerts are set up), making it convenient for traders who want timely notifications.
How It Works: If rawBuy or rawSell conditions are met (refined by RSI, EMA trend, and cooldown constraints), the script calls the respective plot function to paint an arrow label on the chart. Alerts are triggered simultaneously, carrying easily recognizable messages.
Metrics Table:
The optional on-chart table (activated by showMetrics) presents real-time Z-Score data, including the current Z-Score, its rolling mean, the maximum and minimum Z-Score values observed over the last zLen bars, a percentile position, and a short-term directional note (rising, falling, or flat).
Current – The present Z-Score reading
Mean – Average Z-Score over the zLen period
Min/Max – Lowest and highest Z-Score values within zLen
Position – Where the current Z-Score sits between the min and max (as a percentile)
Trend – Whether the Z-Score is increasing, decreasing, or flat
Conclusion
Uptrick: Z-Score Flow offers a versatile solution for traders who need a statistically informed perspective on price extremes combined with practical checks for overall trend and momentum. By leveraging a well-defined combination of Z-Score, EMA trend classification, RSI-based momentum gating, slope-based visualization, and a cooldown mechanic, the script reduces the occurrence of false or premature signals. Its gradient fills and optional metrics table contribute further clarity, ensuring that users can quickly assess market posture and make more confident trading decisions in real time.
