RSI of RSI Deviation (RoRD)RSI of RSI Deviation (RoRD) - Advanced Momentum Acceleration Analysis
What is RSI of RSI Deviation (RoRD)?
RSI of RSI Deviation (RoRD) is a insightful momentum indicator that transcends traditional oscillator analysis by measuring the acceleration of momentum through sophisticated mathematical layering. By calculating RSI on RSI itself (RSI²) and applying advanced statistical deviation analysis with T3 smoothing, RoRD reveals hidden market dynamics that single-layer indicators miss entirely.
This isn't just another RSI variant—it's a complete reimagining of how we measure and visualize momentum dynamics. Where traditional RSI shows momentum, RoRD shows momentum's rate of change . Where others show static overbought/oversold levels, RoRD reveals statistically significant deviations unique to each market's character.
Theoretical Foundation - The Mathematics of Momentum Acceleration
1. RSI² (RSI of RSI) - The Core Innovation
Traditional RSI measures price momentum. RoRD goes deeper:
Primary RSI (RSI₁) : Standard RSI calculation on price
Secondary RSI (RSI²) : RSI calculated on RSI₁ values
This creates a "momentum of momentum" indicator that leads price action
Mathematical Expression:
RSI₁ = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS₁))
RSI² = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS₂))
Where RS₂ = Average Gain of RSI₁ / Average Loss of RSI₁
2. T3 Smoothing - Lag-Free Response
The T3 Moving Average, developed by Tim Tillson, provides:
Superior smoothing with minimal lag
Adaptive response through volume factor (vFactor)
Noise reduction while preserving signal integrity
T3 Formula:
T3 = c1×e6 + c2×e5 + c3×e4 + c4×e3
Where e1...e6 are cascaded EMAs and c1...c4 are volume-factor-based coefficients
3. Statistical Z-Score Deviation
RoRD employs dual-layer Z-score normalization :
Initial Z-Score : (RSI² - SMA) / StDev
Final Z-Score : Z-score of the Z-score for refined extremity detection
This identifies statistically rare events relative to recent market behavior
4. Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Compares current timeframe Z-score with higher timeframe (HTF)
Provides directional confirmation across time horizons
Filters false signals through timeframe alignment
Why RoRD is Different & More Sophisticated
Beyond Traditional Indicators:
Acceleration vs. Velocity : While RSI measures momentum (velocity), RoRD measures momentum's rate of change (acceleration)
Adaptive Thresholds : Z-score analysis adapts to market conditions rather than using fixed 70/30 levels
Statistical Significance : Signals are based on mathematical rarity, not arbitrary levels
Leading Indicator : RSI² often turns before price, providing earlier signals
Reduced Whipsaws : T3 smoothing eliminates noise while maintaining responsiveness
Unique Signal Generation:
Quantum Orbs : Multi-layered visual signals for statistically extreme events
Divergence Detection : Automated identification of price/momentum divergences
Regime Backgrounds : Visual market state classification (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral)
Particle Effects : Dynamic visualization of momentum energy

How to use
Add this script to your chart. EMAs will appear on the main price chart; RSI and divergence will appear in a separate pane.
Adjust RSI and MA settings to fit your trading style (e.g., fast RSI for scalping, slower for swing)
Enable "Show Divergence" if you want visual alerts and markers
Use alerts to get notified when a divergence occurs without watching the chart
Always check the divergences on different time frames to validate the setup, and do not consider them valid on small time frames (<15 minutes).
Built for traders who want both momentum and trend context in a single tool — without clutter, repainting, or noise. I created this script to streamline my own analysis and avoid switching between multiple indicators. It's not meant to be a "signal generator" but a visual assistant for making better decisions.

Bottom and Top finder [theUltimator5]🧭 Bottom and Top Finder — Multi-Symbol Momentum Divergence Detector
The Bottom and Top Finder by theUltimator5 is a highly configurable, momentum-based indicator designed to identify potential market reversal points using a multi-symbol relative strength comparison framework. It evaluates Directional Movement Index (DMI) values from up to three correlated or macro-influential assets to determine when the current instrument may be approaching a bottom (oversold exhaustion) or a top (overbought exhaustion).
🧠 How It Works
This script computes both the +DI (positive directional index) and -DI (negative directional index) for:
The currently selected chart symbol
Up to three user-defined reference symbols (e.g., sector leaders, macro ETFs, currencies, volatility proxies)
It uses a logarithmic percent-change approach to normalize all movement metrics, ensuring results are scale-invariant and price-neutral — meaning it works consistently whether a stock trades at $1 or $100,000. This makes the comparison between different assets meaningful, even if they trade on different scales or volatility levels.
The indicator then:
Compares the +DI values of the reference symbols to the current symbol’s +DI → seeking bottoming signals (suggesting the current symbol is unusually weak).
Compares the -DI values of the reference symbols to the current symbol’s -DI → seeking topping signals (suggesting the current symbol is unusually strong on the downside).
These comparisons are aggregated using a weighted average, where you control the influence (multiplier) of each reference symbol.
🔁 Trigger Logic
The indicator generates two dynamic lines:
Bot Line (Bottom Line): Based on reference +DI vs. current +DI
Top Line: Based on reference -DI vs. current -DI
If the Bot Line rises above the user-defined threshold, it may signal that capitulation or oversold conditions are developing. Similarly, if the Top Line rises above its threshold, it may indicate a blow-off top or overbought selling pressure.
To avoid false positives, a second smoothing-based condition must also be met:
The line must significantly exceed its moving average, confirming momentum divergence.
When both conditions are true, the indicator highlights the background in light red (bottom alert) or green (top alert) for easy visual scanning.
🔧 Key Inputs & Customization
You can fine-tune this tool using the following parameters:
Smoothing Length: Controls how smooth or sensitive the DI values are.
Reference Symbols: Up to 3 assets (default: RSP, HYG, DXY) — customizable for sector, macro, or inverse relationships.
Influence Multipliers: Adjust the weight each symbol has on the overall signal.
Display Options:
Toggle to highlight the chart background during trigger conditions.
Toggle to display a real-time table of reference symbols and their influence levels.
📈 Visual Output
Two plotted lines: One for bottoms and one for tops
Dynamically colored based on how far they exceed thresholds
Background highlights to mark trigger zones
Optional table displaying the current reference symbol setup and weights
🛠 Best Use Cases
This tool is ideal for:
Identifying short-term tops or bottoms using momentum exhaustion
Spotting divergences between an asset and broader market or sector health
Macro analysis with assets like SPY, QQQ, GME, MSFT, BTC, etc...
Pair trading signals or market breadth confirmation/disagreement
It complements other technical indicators like RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, or price structure patterns (double bottoms/tops, etc.)
CandelaCharts - Swing Failure Pattern (SFP)# SWING FAILURE PATTERN
📝 Overview
The Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) indicator is designed to identify and highlight Swing Failure Patterns on a user’s chart. This pattern typically emerges when significant market participants generate liquidity by driving price action to key levels. An SFP occurs when the price temporarily breaks above a resistance level or below a support level, only to quickly reverse and return within the previous range. These movements are often associated with stop-loss hunting or liquidity grabs, providing traders with potential opportunities to anticipate reversals or key market turning points.
A Bullish SFP occurs when the price dips below a key support level, triggering stop-loss orders, but then swiftly reverses upward, signaling a potential upward trend or reversal.
A Bearish SFP happens when the price spikes above a key resistance level, triggering stop-losses of short positions, but then quickly reverses downward, indicating a potential bearish trend or reversal.
The indicator is a powerful tool for traders, helping to identify liquidity grabs and potential reversal points in real-time. Marking bullish and bearish Swing Failure Patterns on the chart, it provides clear visual cues for spotting market traps set by major players, enabling more informed trading decisions and improved risk management.

📒 Usage
The best approach is to combine a few complementary indicators to gain a clearer market perspective. This doesn’t mean relying on the Golden Cross, RSI divergences, SFPs, and funding rates simultaneously, but rather focusing on one or two that align well in a given scenario.
The example above demonstrates the confluence of a Bearish Swing Failure Pattern (SFP) with an RSI divergence. This combination strengthens the signal, as the Bearish SFP indicates a potential reversal after a liquidity grab, while the RSI divergence confirms weakening momentum at the key level. Together, these indicators provide a more robust setup for identifying potential market reversals with greater confidence.
🚨 Alerts
This script provides alert options for all signals.
Bearish Signal
A bearish signal is triggered when a Bearish SFP is formed.
Bullish Signal
A bullish signal is triggered when a Bullish SFP is formed.

RSI Difference (Fast and Slow)Introduction
Oscillators like the RSI are fundamental tools for identifying trends in financial markets. Their ability to measure price momentum allows traders to detect overbought, oversold levels, and divergences, anticipating trend changes. Are there ways to improve the use of traditional RSI? How can we obtain more detailed information about current trends? This indicator answers these questions by expanding the functionalities of the traditional RSI and offering an additional tool for analysis.
How does it work?
This indicator provides a framework for trend analysis based on the following setup:
Fast RSI
Slow RSI
SMA of the fast RSI
SMA of the slow RSI
Histogram
Custom Indicator Settings
My preferred configuration is based on the 13 and 55 moving averages. The rest of the setup is as follows:
I typically use the 13 and 55 moving averages to configure both the RSI and short- and long-term moving averages.
Interpretation and Signals: Including a Long-Period RSI
Including a long-period RSI helps identify key patterns in market behavior. Crossovers between the two can be used to establish entry patterns:
If the fast RSI crosses above the slow RSI, this could indicate a long-entry pattern.
If the fast RSI crosses below the slow RSI, this could indicate a short-entry pattern.
Interpretation and Signals: Including Moving Averages
Including moving averages for both the short- and long-period RSI can help identify the base trend of the movement and, consequently:
Avoid false signals.
Trade in favor of the trend.
A simple way to start working with these is to use the crossover of the moving averages to identify the current trend:
If the short-period SMA is above the long-period SMA, the trend is bullish.
If the short-period SMA is below the long-period SMA, the trend is bearish.
Interpretation and Signals: The Histogram
The histogram represents the difference between the moving averages. If the histogram is positive, the short average is above the long average. If the histogram is below zero, the short average is below the long average. Divergences with price provide signals of potential exhaustion in the movement, indicating a possible reversal.
Indicator Details
This indicator builds upon the traditional RSI by integrating additional features that enhance its utility for traders. Here’s how each component is calculated and how they contribute to the originality of the script:
Fast RSI and Slow RSI: The fast RSI is calculated using a shorter lookback period, allowing it to capture rapid changes in momentum. The slow RSI uses a longer period to smooth out fluctuations and provide a broader view of the trend. These two RSIs work together to identify significant momentum shifts.
SMA of RSI values: The simple moving averages (SMA) of the fast and slow RSI help filter out noise and provide clear crossover signals. The SMAs are calculated using standard formulas but applied to the RSI values rather than price data, which adds a layer of insight into momentum trends.
Histogram calculation: The histogram represents the difference between the SMA of the fast RSI and the SMA of the slow RSI. This value gives a visual representation of the convergence or divergence of momentum. When the histogram crosses zero, it signifies a potential shift in the underlying trend.
This indicator combines multiple layers of analysis: fast and slow momentum, trend confirmation through SMAs, and divergence detection via the histogram. This multi-dimensional approach provides traders with a more comprehensive tool for trend analysis and decision-making.
Conclusion
This article has explored how to use this indicator to identify trends, leverage entry patterns, and analyze divergences by combining the fast RSI, slow RSI, their moving averages, and a histogram. Additionally, I’ve detailed how I usually interpret this indicator:
Identifying RSI patterns to anticipate momentum changes.
Using SMAs to confirm base trends.
Leveraging the histogram to detect divergences and potential price reversals.

Cumulative Volume Delta Strategy | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing the Cumulative Volume Delta Strategy (CVDS) Indicator, an advanced tool designed to enhance trading strategies by identifying potential trend reversals through volume dynamics. This script features integrated order block detection, Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), and a dynamic take-profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) system. For an in-depth understanding of the strategy, refer to the "HOW DOES IT WORK?" section below.
Features of the new Cumulative Volume Delta Strategy (CVDS) Indicator :
Cumulative Volume Delta-based Strategy
Order Block and Fair Value Gap (FVG) Entry Methods
Dynamic TP/SL System
Customizable Risk Management Settings
Alerts for Buy, Sell, TP, and SL Signals
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The CVDS indicator operates by tracking the net volume difference between buyers and sellers to identify divergences that could indicate potential trend reversals. A cumulative volume delta (CVD) calculation is employed to measure the intensity of these divergences in relation to price movements. The net volume sum is reset every trading day (can be changed from the settings using the anchor period option), and divergences are detected when the cumulative volume crosses the 0-line over or under.
Once a significant divergence is detected, the indicator identifies breakout points, confirmed by either Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) or Order Blocks (OBs). Depending on your chosen entry mode, the indicator will trigger a buy or sell entry when the confirmation signal aligns with the breakout direction. Alerts for Buy, Sell, Take-Profit, and Stop-Loss are available.
Note that the indicator cannot run on 1-minute and 1-second charts, as it needs to get data from a lower timeframe. 1-minutes & 1-second timeframes are the minimum timeframes in their ranges respectively.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
What sets this indicator apart is the combination of volume divergence analysis with advanced price action tools like Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks (OBs). The ability to choose between these methods, along with a dynamic TP/SL system that adapts based on volatility, provides flexibility for traders in any market condition. The backtesting dashboard provides metrics about the performance of the indicator. You can use it to tune the settings for best use in the current ticker. The CVD-based strategy ensures that trades are initiated only when meaningful divergences between volume and price occur, filtering out noise and increasing the likelihood of profitable trades.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Anchor Period: Time anchor period used in CVD calculation. This is essentially the period that the volume delta sum will be reset. Lower timeframes may result in more entries at the cost of less reliable results.
Entry Mode: Choose between FVGs or OBs to trigger your entries based on the confirmation signals.
Retracement Requirement: Enable to confirm the entry after a retracement toward the FVG or OB.
2. Fair Value Gaps
FVG Sensitivity: Modify the sensitivity of FVG detection, allowing for more or fewer gaps to be considered valid.
3. Order Blocks (OB)
Swing Length: Define the swing length to identify OB formations. Shorter lengths find smaller OBs, while longer lengths detect larger structures.
4. TP / SL
TP / SL Method:
a) Dynamic: The TP / SL zones will be auto-determined by the algorithm based on the Average True Range (ATR) of the current ticker.
b) Fixed : You can adjust the exact TP / SL ratios from the settings below.
Dynamic Risk: The risk you're willing to take if "Dynamic" TP / SL Method is selected. Higher risk usually means a better winrate at the cost of losing more if the strategy fails. This setting is has a crucial effect on the performance of the indicator, as different tickers may have different volatility so the indicator may have increased performance when this setting is correctly adjusted.

The indicator combines Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), and Relative Strength Index (RSI) to determine the trend direction on various timeframes: 15 minutes (15M), 30 minutes (30M), 1 hour (1H), 4 hours (4H), 1 day (1D), and 1 week (1W).
EMA Trend : The script calculates two EMAs for each timeframe: a fast EMA and a slow EMA. If the fast EMA is greater than the slow EMA, the trend is considered Bullish; if the fast EMA is less than the slow EMA, the trend is considered Bearish.
MACD Trend : The script calculates the MACD line and the signal line for each timeframe. If the MACD line is above the signal line, the trend is considered Bullish; if the MACD line is below the signal line, the trend is considered Bearish.
RSI Trend : The script calculates the RSI for each timeframe. If the RSI value is above a specified Bullish level, the trend is considered Bullish; if the RSI value is below a specified Bearish level, the trend is considered Bearish. If the RSI value is between the Bullish and Bearish levels, the trend is Neutral, and no arrow is displayed.
Dashboard Display :
The indicator prints arrows on the dashboard to represent Bullish (▲ Green) or Bearish (▼ Red) trends for each timeframe.
You can easily adapt the Dashboard colors (Inputs > Theme) for visibility depending on whether you're using a Light or Dark theme for TradingView.
Usage :
You can adjust the indicator's settings such as theme (Dark or Light), EMA periods, MACD parameters, RSI period, and Bullish/Bearish levels to adapt it to your specific trading strategies and preferences.
Disclaimer :
This indicator is designed to quickly help you identify the trend direction on multiple timeframes and potentially make more informed trading decisions.
You should consider it as an extra tool to complement your strategy, but you should not solely rely on it for making trading decisions.
Always perform your own analysis and risk management before executing trades.
The indicator will only show a Dashboard. The EMAs, RSI and MACD you see on the chart image have been added just to demonstrate how the script works.
DETAILED SCRIPT EXPLANATION
INPUTS:
theme : Allows selecting the color theme (options: "Dark" or "Light").
emaFastPeriod : The period for the fast EMA.
emaSlowPeriod : The period for the slow EMA.
macdFastLength : The fast length for MACD calculation.
macdSlowLength : The slow length for MACD calculation.
macdSignalLength : The signal length for MACD calculation.
rsiPeriod : The period for RSI calculation.
rsiBullishLevel : The level used to determine Bullish RSI condition, when RSI is above this value. It should always be higher than rsiBearishLevel.
rsiBearishLevel : The level used to determine Bearish RSI condition, when RSI is below this value. It should always be lower than rsiBullishLevel.
CALCULATIONS:
The script calculates EMAs on multiple timeframes (15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, daily, and weekly) using the request.security() function.
Similarly, the script calculates MACD values ( macdLine , signalLine ) on the same multiple timeframes using the request.security() function along with the ta.macd() function.
RSI values are also calculated for each timeframe using the request.security() function along with the ta.rsi() function.
The script then determines the EMA trends for each timeframe by comparing the fast and slow EMAs using simple boolean expressions.
Similarly, it determines the MACD trends for each timeframe by comparing the MACD line with the signal line.
Lastly, it determines the RSI trends for each timeframe by comparing the RSI values with the Bullish and Bearish RSI levels.
PLOTTING AND DASHBOARD:
Color codes are defined based on the EMA, MACD, and RSI trends for each timeframe. Green for Bullish, Red for Bearish.
A dashboard is created using the table.new() function, displaying the trend information for each timeframe with arrows representing Bullish or Bearish conditions.
The dashboard will appear in the top-right corner of the chart, showing the Bullish and Bearish trends for each timeframe (15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, 1D, and 1W) based on EMA, MACD, and RSI analysis. Green arrows represent Bullish trends, red arrows represent Bearish trends, and no arrows indicate Neutral conditions.
INFO ON USED INDICATORS:
1 — EXPONENTIAL MOVING AVERAGE (EMA)
The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a type of moving average (MA) that places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points.
The EMA is calculated by taking the average of the true range over a specified period. The true range is the greatest of the following:
The difference between the current high and the current low.
The difference between the previous close and the current high.
The difference between the previous close and the current low.
The EMA can be used by traders to produce buy and sell signals based on crossovers and divergences from the historical average. Traders often use several different EMA lengths, such as 10-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages.
The formula for calculating EMA is as follows:
Compute the Simple Moving Average (SMA).
Calculate the multiplier for weighting the EMA.
Calculate the current EMA using the following formula:
EMA = Closing price x multiplier + EMA (previous day) x (1-multiplier)
2 — MOVING AVERAGE CONVERGENCE DIVERGENCE (MACD)
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a popular trend-following momentum indicator used in technical analysis. It helps traders identify changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a financial instrument's price.
The MACD is calculated by subtracting a longer-term Exponential Moving Average (EMA) from a shorter-term EMA. The most commonly used time periods for the MACD are 26 periods for the longer EMA and 12 periods for the shorter EMA. The difference between the two EMAs creates the main MACD line.
Additionally, a Signal Line (usually a 9-period EMA) is computed, representing a smoothed version of the MACD line. Traders watch for crossovers between the MACD line and the Signal Line, which can generate buy and sell signals. When the MACD line crosses above the Signal Line, it generates a bullish signal, indicating a potential uptrend. Conversely, when the MACD line crosses below the Signal Line, it generates a bearish signal, indicating a potential downtrend.
In addition to the MACD line and Signal Line crossovers, traders often look for divergences between the MACD and the price chart. Divergence occurs when the MACD is moving in the opposite direction of the price, which can suggest a potential trend reversal.
3 — RELATIVE STRENGHT INDEX (RSI):
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is another popular momentum oscillator used by traders to assess the overbought or oversold conditions of a financial instrument. The RSI ranges from 0 to 100 and measures the speed and change of price movements.
The RSI is calculated based on the average gain and average loss over a specified period, commonly 14 periods. The formula involves several steps:
Calculate the average gain over the specified period.
Calculate the average loss over the specified period.
Calculate the relative strength (RS) by dividing the average gain by the average loss.
Calculate the RSI using the following formula: RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
The RSI oscillates between 0 and 100, where readings above 70 are considered overbought, suggesting that the price may have risen too far and could be due for a correction. Readings below 30 are considered oversold, suggesting that the price may have dropped too much and could be due for a rebound.
Traders often use the RSI to identify potential trend reversals. For example, when the RSI crosses above 30 from below, it may indicate the start of an uptrend, and when it crosses below 70 from above, it may indicate the start of a downtrend. Additionally, traders may look for bullish or bearish divergences between the RSI and the price chart, similar to the MACD analysis, to spot potential trend changes.

Koalafied RSI// Concept developed from RSI : The Complete Guide by John Hayden
// RSI is regarded as a momentum indicator. 2:1 momentum is associated with RSI values of 66.67 and 33.33 respectfully. In an Uptrend an RSI value of 40 should not be broken and in a downtrend
// a RSI value of 60 should not be exceeded. 4:1 momentum (RSI values of 80/20) can be associated with extreme market conditions, typically thought of as being Overbought or Oversold.
// Simple divergence provides a strong indication that the preceding trend will resume as soon as the retracement is completed. Multiple long-term divergences (not shown in this indicator)
// increase the likelihood that the preceding trend has ended.
// An Uptrend is indicated when:
// 1. RSI values remain in an 80/40 range
// 2. Presence of bearish divergences
// 3. Hidden bullish divergences are seen
// A Downtrend is indicated when:
// 1. RSI values remain in a 60/20 range
// 2. Presence of bullish divergence
// 3. Hidden bearish divergence is seen
// Personal additions to John Haydens concepts are horizontal pivot breaks and diagonal trendline breaks. The 80/20 line color shows the last break of horizontal pivot points, while the rsi
// line changes color with diagonal breaks. Additional support/resistance is shown by 66.67 and 33.33 lines.
SMA + Trend Strength + Trailing Stop LossThe 'SMA + Trend Strength + Trailing Stop Loss' indicator was designed for swing trading long positions over the course of days/weeks. The benefit of the indicator is to identify areas where the market of a given asset is showing signs of a strong uptrend, divergences, and fear. A 13-bar simple moving average is color coded to four colors based on 5 given conditions at a time, which are represented as a trend meter on the bottom right of the screen. A trailing stop loss indicator is included to secure your profits or limit your loss in case the market reverses on you unexpected. Please use this indicator responsibly with proper risk management, and never rely on the indicator by itself for buy and sell signals.
When the simple moving average color is green, it means that at least 4 of 5 conditions are confirming a move upwards, this is when you can take an entry into a trade based on your entry strategy. As the trend continues, the color will eventually change to yellow signaling a divergence. This is when you can use your exit strategy to find a good point to sell. It is wise not to take new positions when the color is trending yellow.
If the color changes from yellow to orange, that is a warning sign that the trend is about to change or has begun to change. Prices may have already fallen. However, sometimes the color will change from yellow back to green signaling a continuation of the trend. You can either keep holding or take a new position in this instance.
When the color is red, this signals fear in the market, you should stay out of the market at first. However, as the market consolidates and the color starts changing back to orange, this is an opportunity to take a long position at a reasonably low price.
Simple Moving Average (13-Bar) Color Explanation:
The colors change based on 5 market conditions represented in the trend meter.
Green: Strong Uptrend
Yellow: Divergence Present
Orange: Warning
Red: Fear
Trend Meter Explanation:
The trend meter draws 5 arrows indicating bullish or bearish presence.
LL = Lower Lows - Detects when the market is trending with lower lows.
HH = Higher Highs - Detects when the market is trending with higher highs.
MA = SMA Direction - A formula is used to determine the direction of the SMA.
DI = Directional Index - Identifies when upwards momentum is trending.
RSI = Relative Strength Index - Identifies when the RSI is in an uptrend state.
Note: For advanced users, this indicator has a hidden DMI(4, 4, 4) and RSI(14) indicator used to determine the last two conditions. The Directional Index is based on a DI Plus momentum moving average to determine a momentum trend and the RSI trending over 50 will constitute an uptrend signal as below 50 it will point down.
Trailing stop loss:
The trailing stop loss is determined based on the lowest price of the last 8 bars.
A gray step-line is drawn at the suggested stop activation price.
A red step-line is drawn at the suggested stop limit price.
When the price breaches the trailing stop, a red X will appear below the bar.
You can turn each of these features on or off based on your preference. Happy trading!
Multi Momentum 10/21/42/63 — Histogram + 2xSMAMY MM INDICATOR INDIRED BY KARADI
It averages four rate-of-change snapshots of price, all anchored at today’s close.
If “Show as %” is on, the value is multiplied by 100.
Each term is a simple momentum/ROC over a different lookback.
Combining 10, 21, 42, 63 bars blends short, medium, and intermediate horizons into one number.
Positive MM → average upward pressure across those horizons; negative MM → average downward pressure.
Why those lengths?
They roughly stack into ~2× progression (10→21≈2×10, 21→42=2×21, 63≈1.5×42). That creates a “multi-scale” momentum that’s less noisy than a single fast ROC but more responsive than a long ROC alone.
How to read the panel
Gray histogram = raw Multi-Momentum value each bar.
SMA Fast/Slow lines (defaults 12 & 26 over the MM values) = smoothing of the histogram to show the trend of momentum itself.
Typical signals
Zero-line context:
Above 0 → bullish momentum regime on average.
Below 0 → bearish regime.
Crosses of SMA Fast & Slow: momentum trend shifts (fast above slow = improving momentum; fast below slow = deteriorating).
Histogram vs SMA lines: widening distance suggests strengthening momentum; narrowing suggests momentum is fading.
Divergences: price makes a new high/low but MM doesn’t → potential exhaustion.
Compared to a classic ROC
A single ROC(20) is very sensitive to that one window.
MM averages several windows, smoothing idiosyncrasies (e.g., a one-off spike 21 bars ago) and reducing “lookback luck.”
Settings & customization
Lookbacks (10/21/42/63): you can tweak for your asset/timeframe; the idea is to mix short→medium horizons.
Percent vs raw ratio: percent is easier to compare across symbols.
SMA lengths: shorter = more reactive but choppier; longer = smoother but slower.
Practical tips
Use regime + signal: trade longs primarily when MM>0 and fast SMA>slow SMA; consider shorts when MM<0 and fast
[blackcat] L1 Dual Ehlers Bandpass FilterOVERVIEW
The Dual Ehlers Bandpass Filter combines two bandpass filters tuned to the dominant and subdominant market cycles, creating a powerful signal extraction tool. This indicator uses John Ehlers' advanced digital signal processing techniques to isolate specific frequency components from price data. By mixing the outputs of two bandpass filters, it provides a smoother, more responsive signal that captures both primary and secondary market cycles. The indicator includes divergence detection capabilities and multiple mixing methods for customizable signal extraction.
FEATURES
- Dual bandpass filtering with dominant and subdominant cycle detection
- Multiple dominant cycle calculation methods (HoDyDC, PhAcDC, DuDiDC, CycPer, BPZC)
- Flexible mixing options: weighted, sum, difference, dominant-only, or subdominant-only
- Adjustable bandwidth parameters for both filters
- Built-in divergence detection with customizable lookback periods
- Optional display of individual filter components

Special thanks to John Ehlers for his pioneering work in digital signal processing for financial markets.
Flux Capacitor (FC)# Flux Capacitor
**A volume-weighted, outlier-resistant momentum oscillator designed to expose hidden directional pressure from institutional participants.**
---
### Why "Flux Capacitor"?
The name pays homage to the fictional energy core in *Back to the Future* — an invisible engine that powers movement. Similarly, this indicator detects whether price movement is being powered by real market participation (volume) or if it's coasting without conviction.
---
### Methodology
The Flux Capacitor fuses three statistical layers:
- **Normalized Momentum**: `(Close – Open) / ATR`
Controls for raw price size and volatility.
- **Volume Scaling**:
Amplifies the effect of price moves that occur with elevated volume.
- **Robust Normalization**:
- *Winsorization* caps outlier spikes.
- *MAD-Z scoring* normalizes the signal across assets (crypto, futures, stocks).
- This produces consistent scaling across timeframes and symbols.
The result is a smooth oscillator that reliably indicates **liquidity-backed momentum** — not just price movement.
---
### Signal Events
- **Divergence (D)**: Price makes higher highs or lower lows, but Flux does not.
- **Absorption (A)**: Candle shows high volume and small body, while Flux opposes the candle direction — indicates smart money stepping in.
- **Compression (◆)**: High volume with low momentum — potential breakout zone.
- **Zero-Cross**: Indicates directional regime flip.
- **Flux Acceleration**: Histogram shows pressure rate of change.
- **Regime Background**: Color fades with weakening trend conviction.
All signals are color-coded and visually compact for easy pattern recognition.
---
### Interpreting Divergence & Absorption Correctly
Signal strength improves significantly when it appears **in the correct zone**:
#### Divergence:
| Signal | Zone | Meaning | Strength |
|--------|------------|------------------------------------------|--------------|
| Green D | Below 0 | Bullish reversal forming in weakness | **Strong** |
| Green D | Above 0 | Bullish, but less convincing | Moderate |
| Red D | Above 0 | Bearish reversal forming in strength | **Strong** |
| Red D | Below 0 | Bearish continuation — low warning value | Weak |
#### Absorption:
| Signal | Zone | Meaning | Strength |
|--------|------------|-----------------------------------------|--------------|
| Green A | Below 0 | Buyers absorbing panic-selling | **Strong** |
| Green A | Above 0 | Support continuation | Moderate |
| Red A | Above 0 | Sellers absorbing FOMO buying | **Strong** |
| Red A | Below 0 | Trend continuation — not actionable | Weak |
Look for **absorption or divergence signals in “enemy territory”** for the most actionable entries.
---
### Reducing Visual Footprint
If your chart shows a long line of numbers across the top of the Flux Capacitor pane (e.g. "FC 14 20 9 ... Bottom Right"), it’s due to TradingView’s *status line input display*.
**To fix this**:
Right-click the indicator pane → **Settings** → **Status Line** tab → uncheck “Show Indicator Arguments”.
This frees up vertical space so top-edge signals (like red `D` or yellow `◆`) remain visible and unobstructed.
---
### Features
- Original MAD-Z based momentum design
- True volume-based divergence and absorption logic
- Built-in alerts for all signal types
- Works across timeframes (1-min to weekly)
- Minimalist, responsive layout
- 25+ customizable parameters
- No future leaks, no repainting
---
### Usage Scenarios
- **Trend confirmation**: Flux > 0 confirms bullish trend strength
- **Reversal detection**: Divergence or absorption in opposite territory = high-probability reversal
- **Breakout anticipation**: Compression signal inside range often precedes directional move
- **Momentum shifts**: Watch for zero-crosses + flux acceleration spikes
---
### ⚠ Visual Note for BTC, ETH, Crude Oil & Futures
These high-priced or rapidly accelerating instruments can visually compress any linear oscillator. You may notice the Flux Capacitor’s line appears "flat" or muted on these assets — especially over long lookbacks.
> **This does not affect signal validity.** Divergence, absorption, and compression triggers still fire based on underlying logic — only the line’s amplitude appears reduced due to scaling constraints.
