Guitar Hero [theUltimator5]The Guitar Hero indicator transforms traditional oscillator signals into a visually engaging, game-like display reminiscent of the popular Guitar Hero video game. Instead of standard line plots, this indicator presents oscillator values as colored segments or blocks, making it easier to quickly identify market conditions at a glance.
Choose from 8 different technical oscillators:
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Stochastic %K
Stochastic %D
Williams %R
CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
MFI (Money Flow Index)
TSI (True Strength Index)
Ultimate Oscillator
Visual Display Modes
1) Boxes Mode : Creates distinct rectangular boxes for each bar, providing a clean, segmented appearance. (default)
This visual display is limited by the amount of box plots that TradingView allows on each indictor, so it will only plot a limited history. If you want to view a similar visual display that has minor breaks between boxes, then use the fill mode.
2) Fill Mode : Uses filled areas between plot boundaries.
Use this mode when you want to view the plots further back in history without the strict drawing limitations.
Five-Level Color-Coded System
The indicator normalizes all oscillator values to a 0-100 scale and categorizes them into five distinct levels:
Level 1 (Red): Very Oversold (0-19)
Level 2 (Orange): Oversold (20-29)
Level 3 (Yellow): Neutral (30-70)
Level 4 (Aqua): Overbought (71-80)
Level 5 (Lime): Very Overbought (81-100)
Customization Options
Signal Parameters
Signal Length: Primary period for oscillator calculation (default: 14)
Signal Length 2: Secondary period for Stochastic %D and TSI (default: 3)
Signal Length 3: Tertiary period for TSI calculation (default: 25)
Display Controls
Show Horizontal Reference Lines: Toggle grid lines for better level identification
Show Information Table: Display current signal type, value, and normalized value
Table Position: Choose from 9 different screen positions for the info table
Display Mode: Switch between Boxes and Fills visualization
Max Bars to Display: Control how many historical bars to show (50-450 range)
Normalization Process
The indicator automatically normalizes different oscillator ranges to a consistent 0-100 scale:
Williams %R: Converts from -100/0 range to 0-100
CCI: Maps typical -300/+300 range to 0-100
TSI: Transforms -100/+100 range to 0-100

Trading Macro Windows by BW v2
Trading Macros by BW: Integrating ICT Concepts for Session Analysis
This indicator combines two key Inner Circle Trader (ICT) concepts—Change in State of Delivery (CISD) or Inverted Fair Value Gap (IFVG) signals with Macro Time Windows—to provide a unified tool for analyzing intraday price action, particularly during Pacific Time (PT) sessions. Rather than simply merging existing scripts, this integration creates a cohesive visual framework that highlights how macro consolidation periods interact with potential reversal or continuation signals like CISD or IFVG. By overlaying macro candle styling and borders on the chart alongside selectable signal lines, traders can better contextualize setups within ICT's macro narrative, where price often manipulates liquidity during these windows before displacing toward higher-timeframe objectives.
Core Components and How They Work Together:
Macro Time Windows (Inspired by ICT's Macro Periods):
ICT emphasizes "macro" as 30-minute windows (e.g., 06:45–07:15 PT, 07:45–08:15 PT, up to 11:45–12:15 PT) where price tends to consolidate, sweep liquidity, or form key structures like Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). These periods set the stage for the session's directional bias.
The indicator styles candles within these windows using a user-defined color for wicks, borders, and bodies (translucent for visibility). This visual emphasis helps traders focus on activity inside macros, where reversals or continuations often originate.
Borders are drawn as vertical lines at the start and end of each window (with a +5 minute buffer to capture related activity), using a dotted style by default. This creates a "study zone" that encapsulates macro events, allowing traders to assess if price is respecting or violating these zones in alignment with broader ICT models like the Power of 3 (AMD cycle).
Toggle: "Macro Candles Enabled" (default: true) – Turn off to disable styling and borders if focusing solely on signals.
CISD or IFVG Signals (Selectable Mode):
Mode Selection: Choose between "Change in the State of Delivery" (CISD) or "IFVG" (default: IFVG). Both detect shifts in market delivery during specific 30-minute slices (15–45 or 17–45 minutes past the hour in PT sessions).
CISD Mode: Based on ICT's definition of a sudden directional shift, this identifies aggressive displacements after sweeping recent highs/lows. It uses a rolling reference high/low over 6 bars, checks for sweeps (penetrating by at least 2 ticks in the last 2-3 bars), reclamation (closing beyond the reference with at least 50% body), and displacement (50% of prior range or an immediate FVG of 6+ ticks). Signals plot a horizontal line from the close, extending 24 bars right, labeled "CISD."
IFVG Mode: Focuses on Inverted Fair Value Gaps, where a bullish FVG (low > high by 13+ ticks) forms but is inverted (closed below) in the same slice, signaling bearish intent (or vice versa). This targets violations against opposing liquidity, often leading to raids on external ranges. Signals plot similarly, labeled "IFVG."
Shared Logic: Both modes enforce a 55-bar cooldown to prevent clustering, operate only during PT sessions (06:30–13:00), and use tick-based thresholds for precision across instruments. The integration with macros allows traders to see if signals occur within or at the edges of macro windows, enhancing confirmation—for example, a CISD inside a macro might indicate a manipulated reversal toward the session's true objective.
Toggle: "Signals Enabled" (default: true) – Turn off to hide all signal lines and labels, isolating the macro visualization.
How Components Interact:
Macro windows provide the "narrative context" (consolidation/manipulation), while CISD/IFVG signals detect the "delivery shift" (displacement). Together, they form a mashup that justifies publication: isolated signals can be noisy, but when filtered by macro periods, they align with ICT's session model. For instance, an IFVG inversion during a macro might confirm a liquidity sweep before targeting PD arrays or order blocks.
No external dependencies; all calculations are self-contained using Pine's built-in functions like ta.highest/lowest for references and time-based sessions for windows.
Usage Guidelines:
Apply to intraday charts (e.g., 1-5 min) or stocks during PT hours.
Look for confluence: A bull IFVG signal post-macro low sweep might target the next macro high or daily bias.
Customize colors/styles for signals (solid/dashed/dotted lines) and macros to suit your chart.
Backtest in replay mode to observe how macros frame signals—e.g., price often respects macro borders as S/R.
Limitations: Timezone-fixed to PT (America/Los_Angeles); signals are directional hints, not trade entries. Combine with ICT tools like order blocks or liquidity pools for full setups.
This script draws from community ICT implementations but refines them into a single, purpose-built tool for macro-driven trading, reducing chart clutter while emphasizing interconnected concepts. Feedback welcome!
Transfer Function Filter [theUltimator5]The Transfer Function Filter is an engineering style approach to transform the price action on a chart into a frequency, then filter out unwanted signals using Butterworth-style filter approach.
This indicator allows you to analyze market structure by isolating or removing different frequency components of price movement—similar to how engineers filter signals in control systems and electrical circuits.
🔎 Features
Four Filter Types
1) Low Pass Filter – Smooths price data, highlighting long-term trends while filtering out short-term noise. This filter acts similar to an EMA, removing noisy signals, resulting in a smooth curve that follows the price of the stock relative to the filter cutoff settings.
Real world application for low pass filter - Used in power supplies to provide a clean, stable power level.
2) High Pass Filter – Removes slow-moving trends to emphasize short-term volatility and rapid fluctuations. The high pass filter removes the "DC" level of the chart, removing the average price moves and only outputting volatility.
Real world application for high pass filter - Used in audio equalizers to remove low-frequency noise (like rumble) while allowing higher frequencies to pass through, improving sound clarity.
3) Band Pass Filter – Allows signals to plot only within a band of bar ranges. This filter removes the low pass "DC" level and the high pass "high frequency noise spikes" and shows a signal that is effectively a smoothed volatility curve. This acts like a moving average for volatility.
Real world application for band pass filter - Radio stations only allow certain frequency bands so you can change your radio channel by switching which frequency band your filter is set to.
4) Band Stop Filter – Suppresses specific frequency bands (cycles between two cutoffs). This filter allows through the base price moving average, but keeps the high frequency volatility spikes. It allows you to filter out specific time interval price action.
Real world application for band stop filter - If there is prominent frequency signal in the area which can cause unnecessary noise in your system, a band stop filter can cancel out just that frequency so you get everything else
Configurable Parameters
• Cutoff Periods – Define the cycle lengths (in bars) to filter. This is a bit counter-intuitive with the numbering since the higher the bar count on the low-pass filter, the lower the frequency cutoff is. The opposite holds true for the high pass filter.
• Filter Order – Adjust steepness and responsiveness (higher order = sharper filtering, but with more delay).
• Overlay Option – Display Low Pass & Band Stop outputs directly on the price chart, or in a separate pane. This is enabled by default, plotting the filters that mimic moving averages directly onto the chart.
• Source Selection – Apply filters to close, open, high, low, or custom sources.
Histograms for Comparison
• BS–LP Histogram – Shows distance between Band Stop and Low Pass filters.
• BP–HP Histogram – Highlights differences between Band Pass and High Pass filters.
Histograms give the visualization of a pseudo-MACD style indicator
Visual & Informational Aids
• Customizable colors for each filter line.
• Optional zero-line for histogram reference.
• On-chart info table summarizing active filters, cutoff settings, histograms, and filter order.
📊 Use Cases
Trend Detection – Use the Low Pass filter to smooth noise and follow underlying market direction.
Volatility & Cycle Analysis – Apply High Pass or Band Pass to capture shorter-term patterns.
Noise Suppression – Deploy Band Stop to remove specific choppy frequencies.
Momentum Insight – Watch the histograms to spot divergences and relative filter strength.
Multi-Timeframe Bollinger BandsMy hope is to optimize the settings for this indicator and reintroduce it as a "strategy" with suggested position entry and exit points shown in the price pane.
I’ve been having good results setting the “Bollinger Band MA Length” in the Input tab to between 5 and 10. You can use the standard 20 period, but your results will not be as granular.
This indicator has proven very good at finding local tops and bottoms by combining data from multiple timeframes. Use timeframes that are lower than the timeframe you are viewing in your price pane. Be cognizant that the indicator, like other oscillators, does occasionally produce divergences at tops and bottoms.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Overview
This indicator is an oscillator that measures the normalized position of the price relative to Bollinger Bands across multiple timeframes. It takes the price's position within the Bollinger Bands (calculated on different timeframes) and averages those positions to create a single value that oscillates between 0 and 1. This value is then plotted as the oscillator, with reference lines and colored regions to help interpret the price's relative strength or weakness.
How It Works
Bollinger Band Calculation:
The indicator uses a custom function f_getBBPosition() to calculate the position of the price within Bollinger Bands for a given timeframe.
Price Position Normalization:
For each timeframe, the function normalizes the price's position between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands.
It calculates three positions based on the high, low, and close prices of the requested timeframe:
pos_high = (High - Lower Band) / (Upper Band - Lower Band)
pos_low = (Low - Lower Band) / (Upper Band - Lower Band)
pos_close = (Close - Lower Band) / (Upper Band - Lower Band)
If the upper band is not greater than the lower band or if the data is invalid (e.g., na), it defaults to 0.5 (the midline).
The average of these three positions (avg_pos) represents the normalized position for that timeframe, ranging from 0 (at the lower band) to 1 (at the upper band).
Multi-Timeframe Averaging:
The indicator fetches Bollinger Band data from four customizable timeframes (default: 30min, 60min, 240min, daily) using request.security() with lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to get the latest available data.
It calculates the normalized position (pos1, pos2, pos3, pos4) for each timeframe using f_getBBPosition().
These four positions are then averaged to produce the final avg_position:avg_position = (pos1 + pos2 + pos3 + pos4) / 4
This average is the oscillator value, which is plotted and typically oscillates between 0 and 1.
Moving Averages:
Two optional moving averages (MA1 and MA2) of the avg_position can be enabled, calculated using simple moving averages (ta.sma) with customizable lengths (default: 5 and 10).
These can be potentially used for MA crossover strategies.
What Is Being Averaged?
The oscillator (avg_position) is the average of the normalized price positions within the Bollinger Bands across the four selected timeframes. Specifically:It averages the avg_pos values (pos1, pos2, pos3, pos4) calculated for each timeframe.
Each avg_pos is itself an average of the normalized positions of the high, low, and close prices relative to the Bollinger Bands for that timeframe.
This multi-timeframe averaging smooths out short-term fluctuations and provides a broader perspective on the price's position within the volatility bands.
Interpretation
0.0 The price is at or below the lower Bollinger Band across all timeframes (indicating potential oversold conditions).
0.15: A customizable level (green band) which can be used for exiting short positions or entering long positions.
0.5: The midline, where the price is at the average of the Bollinger Bands (neutral zone).
0.85: A customizable level (orange band) which can be used for exiting long positions or entering short positions.
1.0: The price is at or above the upper Bollinger Band across all timeframes (indicating potential overbought conditions).
The colored regions and moving averages (if enabled) help identify trends or crossovers for trading signals.
Example
If the 30min timeframe shows the close at the upper band (position = 1.0), the 60min at the midline (position = 0.5), the 240min at the lower band (position = 0.0), and the daily at the upper band (position = 1.0), the avg_position would be:(1.0 + 0.5 + 0.0 + 1.0) / 4 = 0.625
This value (0.625) would plot in the orange region (between 0.85 and 0.5), suggesting the price is relatively strong but not at an extreme.
Notes
The use of lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on ensures the indicator uses the latest available data, making it more real-time, though its effectiveness depends on the chart timeframe and TradingView's data feed.
The indicator’s sensitivity can be adjusted by changing bb_length ("Bollinger Band MA Length" in the Input tab), bb_mult ("Bollinger Band Standard Deviation," also in the Input tab), or the selected timeframes.

Volume/Price Movement Indicator## Volume/Price Movement Indicator (VPM)
The **Volume/Price Movement Indicator (VPM)** is a technical analysis tool designed to identify the strength and potential direction of a trend by combining price momentum with volume analysis. Unlike indicators that only look at price, VPM uses volume as a confirming factor to gauge the conviction behind a price move. This helps traders distinguish between strong, high-conviction trends and weak, low-conviction movements that may be prone to reversal.
***
### Key Concepts
* **Price Trend**: The indicator smooths out daily price changes to determine the underlying trend direction. A positive price trend suggests upward momentum, while a negative trend suggests downward momentum.
* **Volume Analysis**: The VPM calculates a **Volume Ratio**, which compares the current bar's volume to its moving average. A high volume ratio indicates that the current volume is significantly higher than recent average volume, suggesting strong market participation. The **Volume Threshold Multiplier** is used to define what constitutes "high volume."
* **Net Pressure**: This component measures the difference between buying pressure and selling pressure, providing an additional layer of confirmation. Positive net pressure indicates that buying activity is outpacing selling, and vice versa.
***
### How to Use the Indicator
The VPM plots its findings on a histogram below the main chart, using colors to clearly signal the market's state.
* **🟢 Strong Bull (Green)**: This is the most powerful bullish signal. It indicates a clear upward price trend that is confirmed by both high volume and positive net pressure. This is a strong signal of conviction and potential continuation of the uptrend.
* **🔵 Weak Bull (Lime)**: This signal indicates a clear upward price trend, but with low volume. The positive net pressure suggests buying is still dominant, but the lack of high volume means there may not be strong market conviction. This signal suggests caution and may precede a consolidation or reversal.
* **🔴 Strong Bear (Red)**: The strongest bearish signal. It indicates a clear downward price trend confirmed by high volume and negative net pressure. This suggests strong selling conviction and a high probability of the downtrend continuing.
* **🟠 Weak Bear (Orange)**: This indicates a clear downward price trend but with low volume. Negative net pressure confirms selling dominance, but the low volume suggests a lack of strong conviction. Like the "Weak Bull" signal, this suggests caution.
* **⚫ Neutral (Gray)**: This signal is displayed when there is no clear trend or when price and volume are diverging. It's a signal of market indecision and suggests waiting for a clearer signal.
***
### Indicator Settings
* **Trend Length**: This input controls the sensitivity of the price trend calculation. A smaller value will make the indicator more responsive to short-term price changes, while a larger value will filter out noise and focus on longer-term trends.
* **Volume MA Length**: This determines the length of the moving average used as a baseline for volume. A longer length will make the "high volume" condition harder to meet.
* **Volume Threshold Multiplier**: This is a key setting for tuning the indicator. It determines how much higher the current volume must be than its moving average to be considered "high volume." For example, a value of `1.2` means volume must be at least 20% higher than the moving average to trigger a high-volume signal.

Quant Signals: Market Sentiment Monitor HUDWavelets & Scale Spectrum
This indicator is ideal for traders who adapt their strategy to market conditions — such as swing traders, intraday traders, and system developers.
Trend-followers can use it to confirm trending conditions before entering.
Mean-reversion traders can spot choppy markets where reversals are more likely.
Risk managers can monitor volatility shifts and regime changes to adjust position size or pause trading.
It works best as a market context filter — telling you the “weather” before you decide on the trade.
Wavelets are like tiny “measuring rulers” for price changes. Instead of looking at the whole chart at once, a wavelet looks at differences in price over a specific time scale — for example, 2 bars, 4 bars, 8 bars, and so on.
The scale spectrum is what you get when you measure volatility at several of these scales and then plot them against scale size.
If the spectrum forms a straight line on a log–log chart, it means price changes follow a consistent pattern across time scales (a power-law relationship).
The slope of that line gives the Hurst exponent (H) — telling you whether moves tend to persist (trend) or reverse (mean-revert).
The height of the line gives you the volatility (σ) — the average size of moves.
This approach works like a microscope, revealing whether the market’s behaviour is consistent across short-term and long-term horizons, and when that behaviour changes.
This tool applies a wavelet-based scale-spectrum analysis to price data to estimate three key market state measures inside a rolling window:
Hurst exponent (H) — measures persistence in price moves:
H > ~0.55 → market is trending (moves tend to continue).
H < ~0.45 → market is choppy/mean-reverting (moves tend to reverse).
Values near 0.5 indicate a neutral, random-walk-like regime.
Volatility (σ) — the average size of price swings at your chart’s timeframe, optionally annualized. Rising volatility means larger price moves, falling volatility means smaller moves.
Fit residual — how well the observed multi-scale volatility fits a clean power-law line. Low residual = stable behaviour; high residual = structural change (possible regime shift).
Whaley Thrust — ADT / UDT / SPT (2010) + EDT (EMA) + Info BoxDescription
Implements Wayne Whaley’s 2010 Dow Award breadth-thrust framework on daily data, with a practical extension:
• ADT (Advances Thrust) — 5-day ratio of advances to (adv+dec). Triggers: > 73.66% (thrust), < 19.05% (capitulation).
• UDT (Up-Volume Thrust) — 5-day ratio of up-volume to (up+down). Triggers: > 77.88%, < 16.41%. Defaults to USI:UVOL / USI:DVOL (edit if your feed differs).
• SPT (Price Thrust) — 5-day % change of a benchmark (default SPY, toggle to use chart symbol). Triggers: > +10.05%, < −13.85%.
• EDT (EMA extension) — Declines-share thrust derived from WBT logic (not in Whaley’s paper): EMA/SMA of Declines / (Adv+Decl). Triggers: > 0.8095 (declines thrust), < 0.2634 (declines abating).
• All-Clear — Prints when ADT+ and UDT+ occur within N days (default 10); marks the second event and shades brighter green.

• Shape markers for each event; toggle text labels on/off.
• Optional background shading (green for thrusts, red for capitulations; brighter green for All-Clear).
• Compact info box showing live ADT / UDT / SPT (white by default; turns green/red at thresholds).
• Min-spacing filter to prevent duplicate prints.
Tips
• Use on Daily charts (paper uses 5 trading days). Weekly views can miss mid-week crosses.
• If UDT shows 100%, verify your Down Volume symbol; the script requires both UVOL and DVOL to be > 0.
• Best use: treat capitulations (−) as setup context; act on thrusts (+)—especially when ADT+ & UDT+ cluster (All-Clear).

Quant Signals: Entropy w/ ForecastThis is the first of many quantitative signals I plan to create for TV users.
Most technical analysis (TA) tools—like moving averages, oscillators, or chart patterns—are heuristic: they’re based on visually identifiable shapes, threshold crossovers, or empirically chosen rules. These methods rarely quantify the information content or structural complexity of market data. By quantifying market predictability before making a forecast, this method filters out noise and focuses your trading only during statistically favorable conditions—something traditional TA cannot objectively measure.
This MEPP-based approach is quantitative and model-free:
It comes from information theory and measures Shannon entropy rate to assess how predictable the market is at any moment.
Instead of interpreting price formations, it uses a data-compression algorithm (Lempel–Ziv) to capture hidden structure in the sequence of returns.
Forecasts are generated using a principle from statistical physics (Maximum Entropy Production), not historical chart patterns.
In short, this method measures the market's predictability BEFORE deciding a directional forecast is worth trusting. This tool is to inform TA traders on the market's current regime, whether it is smooth and predictable or it is volatile and turbulent.
Technical Introduction:
In information theory, Shannon entropy measures the uncertainty (or information content) in a sequence of data. For markets, the entropy rate captures how much new information price returns generate over time:
Low entropy rate → price changes are more structured and predictable.
High entropy rate → price changes are more random and unpredictable.
By discretizing recent returns into quartile-based states, this indicator:
Calculates the normalized entropy rate as a regime filter.
Uses MEPP to forecast the next state that maximizes entropy production.
Displays both the regime status (predictable vs chaotic) and the forecast bias (bullish/bearish) in a dashboard.
Measurements & How to Use Them
TLDR: HIGH ENTROPY -> information generation/market shift -> Don't trust forecast/strategy
1. H (bits/sym)
Shannon entropy rate of the last μ discrete returns, in bits per symbol (0–2).
Lower → more predictable; higher → more random.
Use as a raw measure of market structure.
2. H_max (log₂Ω)
Theoretical maximum entropy for Ω states. Here Ω = 4 → H_max = 2.0 bits.
Reference value for normalization.
3. Entropy (norm)
H / H_max, scaled between 0 and 1.
< 0.5–0.6 → predictable regime; > 0.6 → chaotic regime.
Main regime filter — forecasts are more reliable when below your threshold.
4. Regime
Label based on Entropy (norm) vs your entThresh.
LOW (predictable) = higher odds forecast will be correct.
HIGH (chaotic) = forecasts less reliable.
5. Next State (MEPP Forecast)
Discrete return state (1–4) predicted to occur next, chosen to maximize entropy production:
Large Down (strong bearish)
Small Down (mild bearish)
Small Up (mild bullish)
Large Up (strong bullish)
Use as your bias direction.
6. Bias
Simplified label from the Next State:
States 1–2 = Bearish bias (red)
States 3–4 = Bullish bias (green)
Align strategy direction with bias only in LOW regime.
SMI Base-Trigger Bullish Re-acceleration (Higher High)Description
What it does
This indicator highlights a two-step bullish pattern using Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) plus an ATR distance filter:
1. Base (orange) – Marks a momentum “reset.” A base prints when SMI %K crosses up through %D while %K is below the Base level (default -70). The base stores the base price and starts a waiting window.
2. Trigger (green) – Confirms momentum and price strength. A trigger prints only if, before the timeout window ends:
• SMI %K crosses up through %D again,
• %K is above the Trigger level (default -60),
• Close > Base Price, and
• Price has advanced at least Min ATR multiple (default 1.0× the 14-period ATR) above the base price.
A dashed green line connects the base to the trigger.
Why it’s useful
It seeks a bullish divergence / reacceleration: momentum recovers from deeply negative territory, then price reclaims and exceeds the base by a volatility-aware margin. This helps filter out weak “oversold bounces.”
Signals
• Base ▲ (orange): Potential setup begins.
• Trigger ▲ (green): Confirmation—momentum and price agree.
Inputs (key ones)
• %K Length / EMA Smoothing / %D Length: SMI construction.
• Base when %K < (default -70): depth required for a valid reset.
• Trigger when %K > (default -60): strength required on confirmation.
• Base timeout (days) (default 100): maximum look-ahead window.
• ATR Length (default 14) and Min ATR multiple (default 1.0): price must exceed the base by this ATR-scaled distance.
How traders use it (example rules)
• Entry: On the Trigger.
• Risk: A common approach is a stop somewhere between the base price and a multiple of ATR below trigger; or use your system’s volatility stop.
• Exits: Your choice—trend MA cross, fixed R multiple, or structure-based levels.
Notes & tips
• Works best on liquid symbols and mid-to-higher timeframes (reduce noise).
• Increase Min ATR multiple to demand stronger price confirmation; tighten or widen Base/Trigger levels to fit your market.
• This script plots signals only; convert to a strategy to backtest entries/exits.
5% Canary (per Thrasher) Implements Thrasher’s framework using closing prices and simple, non-optimized thresholds. The study watches for the first 5% decline from the latest 52-week closing high and classifies it:
• 5% Canary: drop occurs in ≤ 15 trading days.
• Confirmed 5% Canary: within 42 trading days of a Canary, there are two consecutive closes below the 200-DMA.
• Buy-the-Dip: the first 5% decline takes > 15 days and 50-DMA > 200-DMA (uptrend).
Includes optional 50/200-DMA plots, clutter-reduction, and alert conditions. This is a signal framework, not a standalone system—pair with your own risk management.
Entropy (Fiedor/Kontoyiannis) - Part 2 of Fiedor's TheoryThis indicator estimates the Shannon entropy of a price series using a Markov chain model of binary returns, following the approach of Fiedor (2014) and Kontoyiannis (1997).
% of Max shows current entropy as a percentage of its theoretical maximum (1 bit for binary up/down moves).
Percentile ranks the current entropy against historical values in the chosen lookback window.
High entropy suggests price movement is less predictable by frequentist models; low entropy implies more structure and predictability.
Use this as an informational oscillator, not a trading signal.
This is a visualization of Part 1 of Fiedor's Theory. The same entropy logic is already embedded in Part 1 however the second pane is a nice reminder of why it works.
