True Range eXpansion🕯️ TRX — True Range eXpansion
Clean Candle Bodies · Volatility Bands · Adaptive Range Envelope System
Not your grandfather’s candles. Not your brokerage’s bands.
----------------------------------------------------
TRX begins with a simple concept: visualize the true range of every candle, without the noise of flickering wicks.
From there, it grows into a fully adaptive price visualization framework.
What started as a candle-only visualizer evolved into a modular, user-controlled price engine.
From wickless candle clarity to dynamic volatility envelopes, TRX adapts to you.
There are plenty of band and channel indicators out there — Bollinger, Keltner, Donchian, Envelope, the whole crew.
But none of them are built on the true candle range, adaptive ATR shaping, and full user control like TRX.
This isn’t just another indicator — it’s a new framework.
Most bands and channels are based on close price and statistical deviation — useful, but limited.
TRX uses the full true range of each candle as its foundation, then applies customizable smoothing and directional ATR scaling to form a dynamic, volatility-reactive envelope.
The result? Bands that breathe with the market — not lag behind it.
----------------------------------------------------
🔧 Core Features:
🕯️ True Range Candles — Each candle is plotted from low to high, body-only, colored by open/close.
📈 Adjustable High/Low Moving Averages — Select your smoothing style: SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or HMA.
🌬️ ATR-Based Expansion — Bands dynamically breathe based on market volatility.
🔀 Per-Band Multipliers — Fine-tune expansion individually for the upper and lower bands.
⚖️ Basis Line — Optional centerline between bands for structure tracking and equilibrium zones.
🎛️ Full Visual Control — Width, transparency, color, on/off toggles for each element.
----------------------------------------------------
🧠 Default Use Case:
With the included default settings, TRX behaves like an evolved Bollinger Band system — based on True Range candle structure, not just close price and standard deviation.
----------------------------------------------------
🔄 How to Zero Out the Bands (for Minimalist Use):
Want just candles? A clean MA? Single band? You got it.
➤ Use TRX like a clean moving average:
• Set ATR Multiplier to 0
• Set both Band ATR Adjustments to 0
• Leave the Basis Line ON or OFF — your call
➤ Show only candles (no bands at all):
• Turn off "Show High/Low MAs"
• Turn off Basis Line
➤ Single-line ceiling or floor tracking:
• Set one band’s Transparency to 100
• Use the remaining band as a price envelope or support/resistance guide
----------------------------------------------------
🧬 Notes:
TRX can be made:
• Spiky or silky (via smoothing & ATR)
• Wide or tight (via multipliers)
• Subtle or aggressive (via color/transparency)
• Clean as a compass or dirty as a chaos meter
Built by accident. Tuned with intention.
Released to the world as one of the most adaptable and expressive visual overlays ever made.

Adaptive Momentum Flow (AMF)Overview
The Adaptive Momentum Flow (AMF) indicator is a powerful, multi-faceted tool designed to provide a comprehensive and adaptive view of market momentum and trend strength. Unlike traditional oscillators with fixed settings, AMF dynamically adjusts its calculations based on market volatility , ensuring its signals remain relevant across varying market conditions. By combining advanced Double Exponential Moving Averages (DEMA) with a powerful volume analysis component and a customizable scoring system, AMF offers a unique perspective on price action and underlying buying/selling pressure.
Key Features & How It Works
1. Adaptive DEMA Trend Strength:
At its core, AMF utilizes three DEMA lines (Fast, Medium, Slow) to assess the current trend's alignment and strength.
The indicator dynamically adjusts the lengths of these DEMA lines based on real-time market volatility, measured by Average True Range (ATR). This means AMF becomes more responsive in volatile markets and smoother in calmer periods.
A "Volatility Sensitivity" input allows you to fine-tune how aggressively the indicator adapts to these changes.
2. Volume Analysis (Buying/Selling Pressure):
AMF incorporates a dedicated volume analysis module to gauge whether volume is predominantly supporting upward or downward price movements. This helps identify periods of significant buying or selling pressure.
This volume analysis component is smoothed with an adjustable Moving Average (SMA, EMA, WMA, or DEMA) and contributes to the overall momentum score, adding a crucial layer of volume-driven confirmation to the analysis.
3. Comprehensive Scoring System:
The indicator generates a normalized "Oscillator Score" that ranges from -100 to 100. This score is a weighted sum of:
Price's relationship to the Fast DEMA.
The Fast DEMA's relationship to the Medium DEMA.
The Medium DEMA's relationship to the Slow DEMA.
The smoothed value from the volume analysis.
Each component's influence on the final score can be individually adjusted via input weights, allowing for deep customization.
Signal Line & Crossovers:
A smoothed "Signal Line" provides additional confirmation for momentum shifts. Crossovers between the main AMF line and its Signal Line can indicate potential changes in market direction.
Overbought/Oversold Levels:
Adjustable Overbought (default 70) and Oversold (default -70) levels visually highlight extreme momentum conditions.
These zones are enhanced with a color fill effect (bright red for overbought, bright cyan for oversold), making it easy to spot when the market is entering potentially exhausted states.
Crucially, these extreme zones can often be further validated by combining them with volatility bands (like Bollinger Bands or Keltner Channels as shown in the chart above) or other confluence indicators, offering stronger signals for potential reversals or exhaustion.
Benefits for Traders
Reduced Lag: DEMA's inherent design helps minimize lag compared to traditional moving averages, providing more timely signals.
Adaptive Intelligence: Automatically adjusts to market volatility, ensuring the indicator's sensitivity is appropriate for current conditions.
Holistic Momentum View: Combines price-based trend alignment with volume-based pressure for a more robust assessment of market flow.
Clear Visual Cues: Intuitive plots, signal line, and vibrant overbought/oversold zone fills make interpretation straightforward.
Customizable: Extensive input options allow traders to tailor the indicator to their specific trading style, asset, and timeframe.
How to Use
Trend Confirmation: Look for the AMF line and its Signal Line to align with the price trend.
Momentum Shifts: Crossovers between the AMF line and its Signal Line can indicate shifts in momentum.
Extreme Conditions: Pay attention when the AMF line enters the neon-highlighted overbought or oversold zones, signaling potential reversals or pauses in the current momentum. Always consider confirming these signals with other analysis tools, such as price action, chart patterns, support/resistance levels, or volatility indicators.
Customization: Experiment with the "Volatility Sensitivity," DEMA multipliers, and scoring weights to find the optimal settings for your trading strategy.
Ehlers Ultimate Bands (UBANDS)UBANDS: ULTIMATE BANDS
🔍 OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE
Ultimate Bands, developed by John F. Ehlers, are a volatility-based channel indicator designed to provide a responsive and smooth representation of price boundaries with significantly reduced lag compared to traditional Bollinger Bands. Bollinger Bands typically use a Simple Moving Average for the centerline and standard deviations from it to establish the bands, both of which can increase lag. Ultimate Bands address this by employing Ehlers' Ultrasmooth Filter for the central moving average. The bands are then plotted based on the volatility of price around this ultrasmooth centerline.
The primary purpose of Ultimate Bands is to offer traders a clearer view of potential support and resistance levels that react quickly to price changes while filtering out excessive noise, aiming for nearly zero lag in the indicator band.
🧩 CORE CONCEPTS
Ultrasmooth Centerline: Employs the Ehlers Ultrasmooth Filter as the basis (centerline) for the bands, aiming for minimal lag and enhanced smoothing.
Volatility-Adaptive Width: The distance between the upper and lower bands is determined by a measure of price deviation from the ultrasmooth centerline. This causes the bands to widen during volatile periods and contract during calm periods.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: The bands serve as dynamic levels of potential support (lower band) and resistance (upper band).
🧮 CALCULATION AND MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Ehlers' Original Concept for Deviation:
John Ehlers describes the deviation calculation as: "The deviation at each data sample is the difference between Smooth and the Close at that data point. The Standard Deviation (SD) is computed as the square root of the average of the squares of the individual deviations."
This describes calculating the Root Mean Square (RMS) of the residuals:
Smooth = UltrasmoothFilter(Source, Length)
Residuals = Source - Smooth
SumOfSquaredResiduals = Sum(Residuals ^2) for i over Length
MeanOfSquaredResiduals = SumOfSquaredResiduals / Length
SD_Ehlers = SquareRoot(MeanOfSquaredResiduals) (This is the RMS of residuals)
Pine Script Implementation's Deviation:
The provided Pine Script implementation calculates the statistical standard deviation of the residuals:
Smooth = UltrasmoothFilter(Source, Length) (referred to as _ehusf in the script)
Residuals = Source - Smooth
Mean_Residuals = Average(Residuals, Length)
Variance_Residuals = Average((Residuals - Mean_Residuals)^2, Length)
SD_Pine = SquareRoot(Variance_Residuals) (This is the statistical standard deviation of residuals)
Band Calculation (Common to both approaches, using their respective SD):
UpperBand = Smooth + (NumSDs × SD)
LowerBand = Smooth - (NumSDs × SD)
🔍 Technical Note: The Pine Script implementation uses a statistical standard deviation of the residuals (differences between price and the smooth average). Ehlers' original text implies an RMS of these residuals. While both measure dispersion, they will yield slightly different values. The Ultrasmooth Filter itself is a key component, designed for responsiveness.
📈 INTERPRETATION DETAILS
Reduced Lag: The primary advantage is the significant reduction in lag compared to standard Bollinger Bands, allowing for quicker reaction to price changes.
Volatility Indication: Widening bands indicate increasing market volatility, while narrowing bands suggest decreasing volatility.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions (Use with caution):
• Price touching or exceeding the Upper Band may suggest overbought conditions.
• Price touching or falling below the Lower Band may suggest oversold conditions.
Trend Identification:
• Price consistently "walking the band" (moving along the upper or lower band) can indicate a strong trend.
• The Middle Band (Ultrasmooth Filter) acts as a dynamic support/resistance level and indicates the short-term trend direction.
Comparison to Ultimate Channel: Ehlers notes that the Ultimate Band indicator does not differ from the Ultimate Channel indicator in any major fashion.
🛠️ USE AND APPLICATION
Ultimate Bands can be used similarly to how Keltner Channels or Bollinger Bands are used for interpreting price action, with the main difference being the reduced lag.
Example Trading Strategy (from John F. Ehlers):
Hold a position in the direction of the Ultimate Smoother (the centerline).
Exit that position when the price "pops" outside the channel or band in the opposite direction of the trade.
This is described as a trend-following strategy with an automatic following stop.
⚠️ LIMITATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
Lag (Minimized but Present): While significantly reduced, some minimal lag inherent to averaging processes will still exist. Increasing the Length parameter for smoother bands will moderately increase this lag.
Parameter Sensitivity: The Length and StdDev Multiplier settings are key to tuning the indicator for different assets and timeframes.
False Signals: As with any band indicator, false signals can occur, particularly in choppy or non-trending markets.
Not a Standalone System: Best used in conjunction with other forms of analysis for confirmation.
Deviation Calculation Nuance: Be aware of the difference in deviation calculation (statistical standard deviation vs. RMS of residuals) if comparing directly to Ehlers' original concept as described.

Disparity Index with Volatility ZonesDisparity Index with Volatility Zones
is a momentum oscillator that measures the percentage difference between the current price and its simple moving average (SMA). This allows traders to identify overbought/oversold conditions, assess momentum strength, and detect potential trend reversals or continuations.
🔍 Core Concept:
The Disparity Index (DI) is calculated as:
DI = 100 × (Price − SMA) / SMA
A positive DI indicates the price is trading above its moving average (potential bullish sentiment), while a negative DI suggests the price is below the average (potential bearish sentiment).
This version of the Disparity Index introduces a dual-zone volatility framework, offering deeper insight into the market's current state.
🧠 What Makes This Version Unique?
1. High Volatility Zones
When DI crosses above +1.0% or below –1.0%, it often indicates the start or continuation of a strong trend.
Sustained readings beyond these thresholds typically align with trending phases, offering opportunities for momentum-based entries.
A reversal back within ±1.0% after exceeding these levels can suggest a shift in momentum — similar to how RSI exits the overbought/oversold zones before reversals.
These thresholds act as dynamic markers for breakout confirmation and potential trend exhaustion.
2. Low Volatility Zones
DI values between –0.5% and +0.5% define the low-volatility zone, shaded for visual clarity.
This area typically indicates market indecision, sideways price action, or consolidation.
Trading within this range may favor range-bound or mean-reversion strategies, as trend momentum is likely limited.
The logic is similar to interpreting a flat ADX, tight Bollinger Bands, or contracting Keltner Channels — all suggesting consolidation.
⚙️ Features:
Customizable moving average length and input source
Adjustable thresholds for overbought/oversold and low-volatility zones
Optional visual fill between low-volatility bounds
Clean and minimal chart footprint (non-essential plots hidden by default)
📈 How to Use:
1. Trend Confirmation:
A break above +1.0% can be used as a bullish continuation signal.
A break below –1.0% may confirm bearish strength.
Long periods above/below these thresholds support trend-following entries.
2. Reversal Detection:
If DI returns below +1.0% after exceeding it, bullish momentum may be fading.
If DI rises above –1.0% after falling below, bearish pressure may be weakening.
These shifts resemble overbought/oversold transitions in oscillators like RSI or Stochastic, and can be paired with divergence, volume, or price structure analysis for higher reliability.
3. Sideways Market Detection:
DI values within ±0.5% indicate low volatility or a non-trending environment.
Traders may avoid breakout entries during these periods or apply range-trading tactics instead.
Observing transitions out of the low-volatility zone can help anticipate breakouts.
4. Combine with Other Indicators:
DI signals can be enhanced using tools like MACD, Volume Oscillators, or Moving Averages.
For example, a DI breakout beyond ±1.0% supported by a MACD crossover or volume spike can help validate trend initiation.
This indicator is especially powerful when paired with Bollinger Bands:
A simultaneous price breakout from the Bollinger Band and DI moving beyond ±1.0% can help identify early trend inflection points.
This combination supports entering positions early in a developing trend, improving the efficiency of trend-following strategies and enhancing decision-making precision.
It also helps filter false breakouts when DI fails to confirm the move outside the band.
This indicator is designed for educational and analytical purposes and works across all timeframes and asset classes.
It is particularly useful for traders seeking a clear framework to identify momentum strength, filter sideways markets, and improve entry timing within a larger trading system.

Elastic Volume-Weighted Student-T TensionOverview
The Elastic Volume-Weighted Student-T Tension Bands indicator dynamically adapts to market conditions using an advanced statistical model based on the Student-T distribution. Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands or Keltner Channels, this indicator leverages elastic volume-weighted averaging to compute real-time dispersion and location parameters, making it highly responsive to volatility changes while maintaining robustness against price fluctuations.
This methodology is inspired by incremental calculation techniques for weighted mean and variance, as outlined in the paper by Tony Finch:
📄 "Incremental Calculation of Weighted Mean and Variance" .
Key Features
✅ Adaptive Volatility Estimation – Uses an exponentially weighted Student-T model to dynamically adjust band width.
✅ Volume-Weighted Mean & Dispersion – Incorporates real-time volume weighting, ensuring a more accurate representation of market sentiment.
✅ High-Timeframe Volume Normalization – Provides an option to smooth volume impact by referencing a higher timeframe’s cumulative volume, reducing noise from high-variability bars.
✅ Customizable Tension Parameters – Configurable standard deviation multipliers (σ) allow for fine-tuned volatility sensitivity.
✅ %B-Like Oscillator for Relative Price Positioning – The main indicator is in form of a dedicated oscillator pane that normalizes price position within the sigma ranges, helping identify overbought/oversold conditions and potential momentum shifts.
✅ Robust Statistical Foundation – Utilizes kurtosis-based degree-of-freedom estimation, enhancing responsiveness across different market conditions.
How It Works
Volume-Weighted Elastic Mean (eμ) – Computes a dynamic mean price using an elastic weighted moving average approach, influenced by trade volume, if not volume detected in series, study takes true range as replacement.
Dispersion (eσ) via Student-T Distribution – Instead of assuming a fixed normal distribution, the bands adapt to heavy-tailed distributions using kurtosis-driven degrees of freedom.
Incremental Calculation of Variance – The indicator applies Tony Finch’s incremental method for computing weighted variance instead of arithmetic sum's of fixed bar window or arrays, improving efficiency and numerical stability.
Tension Calculation – There are 2 dispersion custom "zones" that are computed based on the weighted mean and dynamically adjusted standard student-t deviation.
%B-Like Oscillator Calculation – The oscillator normalizes the price within the band structure, with values between 0 and 1:
* 0.00 → Price is at the lower band (-2σ).
* 0.50 → Price is at the volume-weighted mean (eμ).
* 1.00 → Price is at the upper band (+2σ).
* Readings above 1.00 or below 0.00 suggest extreme movements or possible breakouts.
Recommended Usage
For scalping in lower timeframes, it is recommended to use the fixed α Decay Factor, it is in raw format for better control, but you can easily make a like of transformation to N-bar size window like in EMA-1 bar dividing 2 / decayFactor or like an RMA dividing 1 / decayFactor.
The HTF selector catch quite well Higher Time Frame analysis, for example using a Daily chart and using as HTF the 200-day timeframe, weekly or monthly.
Suitable for trend confirmation, breakout detection, and mean reversion plays.
The %B-like oscillator helps gauge momentum strength and detect divergences in price action if user prefer a clean chart without bands, this thanks to pineScript v6 force overlay feature.
Ideal for markets with volume-driven momentum shifts (e.g., futures, forex, crypto).
Customization Parameters
Fixed α Decay Factor – Controls the rate of volume weighting influence for an approximation EWMA approach instead of using sum of series or arrays, making the code lightweight & computing fast O(1).
HTF Volume Smoothing – Instead of a fixed denominator for computing α , a volume sum of the last 2 higher timeframe closed candles are used as denominator for our α weight factor. This is useful to review mayor trends like in daily, weekly, monthly.
Tension Multipliers (±σ) – Adjusts sensitivity to dispersion sigma parameter (volatility).
Oscillator Zone Fills – Visual cues for price positioning within the cloud range.
Posible Interpretations
As market within indicators relay on each individual edge, this are just some key ideas to glimpse how the indicator could be interpreted by the user:
📌 Price inside bands – Market is considered somehow "stable"; price is like resting from tension or "charging batteries" for volume spike moves.
📌 Price breaking outer bands – Potential breakout or extreme movement; watch for reversals or continuation from strong moves. Market is already in tension or generating it.
📌 Narrowing Bands – Decreasing volatility; expect contraction before expansion.
📌 Widening Bands – Increased volatility; prepare for high probability pull-back moves, specially to the center location of the bands (the mean) or the other side of them.
📌 Oscillator is just the interpretation of the price normalized across the Student-T distribution fitting "curve" using the location parameter, our Elastic Volume weighted mean (eμ) fixed at 0.5 value.
Final Thoughts
The Elastic Volume-Weighted Student-T Tension indicator provides a powerful, volume-sensitive alternative to traditional volatility bands. By integrating real-time volume analysis with an adaptive statistical model, incremental variance computation, in a relative price oscillator that can be overlayed in the chart as bands, it offers traders an edge in identifying momentum shifts, trend strength, and breakout potential. Think of the distribution as a relative "tension" rubber band in which price never leave so far alone.

VWAP + KCVolume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is a technical analysis tool used to measure the average price weighted by volume. VWAP is typically used with intraday charts as a way to determine the general direction of intraday prices. It's similar to a moving average in that when price is above VWAP, prices are rising and when price is below VWAP, prices are falling. VWAP is primarily used by technical analysts to identify market trend.
The Keltner Channels (KC) indicator is a banded indicator similar to Bollinger Bands and Moving Average Envelopes. They consist of an Upper Envelope above a Middle Line as well as a Lower Envelope below the Middle Line. The Middle Line is a moving average of price over a user-defined time period. Either a simple moving average or an exponential moving average are typically used. The Upper and Lower Envelopes are set a (user-defined multiple) of a range away from the Middle Line. This can be a multiple of the daily high/low range, or more commonly a multiple of the Average True Range.
Range PolarityDescription:
This indicator is a "Rate of Change" style oscillator designed to measure market dynamics through the lens of price ranges. By utilizing the true range in conjunction with high and low separation, this script produces two distinct oscillators: one for positive price shifts and one for negative price shifts.
Key Features:
High/Low Isolation:
The script calculates the relative movement of upwards and downwards price movements over a user-defined period. This separation provides a nuanced view of market behavior, offering two separate signals for comparison.
Dynamic Transform Smoothing:
A smoothing transform is applied to the signals, ensuring better outlier handling while maintaining sensitivity to price extremes. This makes the oscillator especially suited for identifying overbought and oversold conditions.
Zero-Centered:
The zero line acts as a "gravity point," where shifts away or toward zero indicate market momentum. Signal crosses or reversals from extreme zones can signal potential entry or exit points.
Outlier Identification:
Unlike traditional ATR based strategies (e.g., Keltner Channels ), this indicator isolates high and low ranges, creating a more granular view of market extremes. These measurements can help identify shifts from the outlying positions and reversal opportunities.
Visual Enhancements:
Multiple layers enhance the visual distinction of the positive and negative transformations. Horizontal lines at key thresholds provide visual reference for overbought, oversold, and equilibrium zones.
How to Use:
Primary signals are shifts from outlying positions or a positive/negative cross. An extreme reading itself can reveal an incoming reversal when calibrated with other indicators or compared with higher timeframes. Pairing "Range Polarity" with volume and momentum can create a comprehensive strategy.
In conclusion, be aware the base length controls the window for high/low contributions while the transform smoothing enhances the raw data through normalization within a tempered range to filter out insignificant fluctuations.
Merry Christmas to all and have a Happy New Year!
Bull Bear Candles with Volume ProfileUser Guide for Bull Bear Candles Indicator with Keltner Channels
Author: NellyN
Introduction
This indicator helps identify potential bullish and bearish trends in the market by analyzing buying and selling volume over two configurable timeframes. It calculates the percentage of buying and selling volume and displays the current market condition based on two moving averages for 2 periods.
Key Features
• Volume Analysis : Calculates Buy and Sell Volume for two configurable timeframes (e.g., 5 min, 15 min, 15 min. and 1 hour, etc.) and displays them as percentages.
• Moving Averages : Uses one Moving Average (MA) for two different time periods to identify trends (uptrend when shorter-term MA is above longer-term MA). You can also choose other Moving Average types like SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA, or HMA.
• Colored Candles : Candles are colored green for bullish conditions, red for bearish conditions, and gray for neutral conditions.
• Market Condition Labels : Displays labels in table-view indicating the current market condition based on Buy and Sell Volume (Very Bullish, Very Bearish, Bullish/Bearish Retracement, Chop).
• Alerts: Generates alerts for potential buy and sell signals based on indicator conditions (Note: Enable alerts in the indicator settings).
• Visual Signals: Provides visual signals through colored candles and market condition labels in addition to alerts.
Input Parameters
• Source: Close price (default) or Heikin Ashi
• Timeframe: Select the timeframe for price and volume data used in the indicator (e.g., Daily, Hourly).
• Colored Candles On: Enable (True) or disable (False) coloring candles based on market conditions.
• Enable Alerts: Enable (True) or disable (False) alerts for buy/sell signals.
• Length of MA: Sets the length for the MAs used in trend identification (minimum 1).
• Lookback Period Vol. 1 & 2: Define the timeframes used to calculate buying and selling volume and the MA calculation (e.g., 5 min, 15 min).
Understanding the Outputs
• Cloud Fill: The area between two MAs is filled with a color that reflects the trend (green for uptrend, red for downtrend).
• Table: Shows Buy Volume, Sell Volume, Buy Percentage, Sell Percentage, and the current Market Condition Labels. (If you decide to see them uncomment them from the code simply removing the // in front of the code)
• Colored Candles and Market Condition Labels: Look for green candles and bullish labels for potential buying opportunities, and vice versa for red candles and bearish labels.
Bullish green label appears when short-term MA is above long-term MA AND Buy Volume percentage is greater than 50%.
Red cross for exiting long entry appears when we have bearish volume OR bearish crossover of the MA for the 2 periods.
Bearish red label appears when short-term MA is below long-term MA AND Buy Volume percentage is less than 50%.
Green cross for exiting short entry appears when we have bullish volume OR bullish crossover of the MA for the 2 periods.
• Bullish/Bearish Retracement: The moving averages indicate a potential trend reversal, while the Buy Volume percentage suggests a continuation of the prior trend. The candle color may be green, red, or gray depending on the current price position relative to the moving averages.
• Chop (Gray Candle): The moving averages are flat and the Buy Volume percentage is not significantly above or below 50%.
• Buy/Sell Alerts: The indicator generates alerts based on specific conditions, but these should be used in conjunction with other trading strategies and careful risk management.

4. Momentum Analysis:
Momentum Oscillator: Visualize momentum using a histogram that changes color based on momentum shifts.
Detailed Insights: Determine whether momentum is increasing or decreasing to make more strategic trading decisions.
How It Works:
The indicator is based on the TTM Squeeze concept, which identifies periods of low volatility where the market is "squeezing" before a potential breakout. It analyzes the relationship between Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels to determine squeeze conditions and uses linear regression to calculate momentum.
1. Squeeze Levels:
No Squeeze (Green): Market is not in a squeeze.
Low Compression Squeeze (Gray): Mild consolidation, potential for a breakout.
Mid Compression Squeeze (Red): Moderate consolidation, higher breakout potential.
High Compression Squeeze (Orange): Strong consolidation, significant breakout potential.
2. Squeeze Counts:
Tracks the number of consecutive bars in each squeeze condition.
Helps identify how long the market has been consolidating, providing clues about potential breakout timing.
3. Momentum Histogram:

MTF SqzMom - Multi-Timeframe Squeeze & Momentum Tool
MTF SqzMom is a tool designed to help traders easily monitor squeeze and momentum signals across multiple timeframes in a simple, organized format. Built using Pine Script 5, it ensures that data remains consistent, even when switching between different time intervals on the chart.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Monitoring: Track squeeze and momentum signals across various timeframes, all in one view. This includes key timeframes like 1-minute, 5-minute, hourly, and daily.
Dynamic Table Display: A color-coded table that automatically adjusts based on the selected timeframes, offering a clear view of market conditions.
Alerts for Key Market Events: Get notifications when a squeeze starts or fires across your chosen timeframes, so you can stay informed without needing to monitor the chart continuously.
Customizable Appearance: Tailor the look of the table by selecting colors for squeeze levels and momentum shifts, and choose the best position on your chart for easy access.
How It Works:
MTF SqzMom is based on the concept of the squeeze, which signals periods of lower volatility where price breakouts may occur. The tool tracks this by monitoring the contraction of Bollinger Bands within Keltner Channels. Along with this, it provides momentum analysis to help you gauge the potential direction of the market after a squeeze.
Squeeze Conditions: The script tracks four levels of squeeze conditions (no squeeze, low, mid, and high), each represented by a different color in the table.
Momentum Analysis: Momentum is visually represented by colors indicating four stages: up increasing, up decreasing, down increasing, and down decreasing. This color coding helps you quickly assess whether the market is gaining or losing momentum.
Using Alerts:
You can enable two types of alerts: when a squeeze starts (indicating consolidation) and when a squeeze fires (indicating a breakout). These alerts cover all timeframes you’ve selected, so you never miss important signals.
How to Set It Up:
1. Enable Alerts in Settings: Turn on "Alert for Squeeze Start" and "Alert for Squeeze Fire" in the settings.
2. Add Alerts to Your Chart:
Click the three dots next to the indicator name.
Select "Add alert on tradeviZion - MTF SqzMom."

Acknowledgment:
While this tool builds on the TTM Squeeze concept developed by John Carter of Simpler Trading, it offers added flexibility through multi-timeframe analysis, alerts, and customizability to make monitoring market conditions more accessible.
ka66: Bar Range BandsThis tool takes a bar's range, and reflects it above the high and below the low of that bar, drawing upper and lower bands around the bar. Repeated for each bar. There's an option to then multiply that range by some multiple. Use a value greater than 1 to get wider bands, and less than one to get narrower bands.
This tool stems out of my frustration from the use of dynamic bands (like Keltner Channels, or Bollinger Bands), in particular for estimating take profit points.
Dynamic bands work great for entries and stop loss, but their dynamism is less useful for a future event like taking profit, in my experience. We can use a smaller multiple, but then we can often lose out on a bigger chunk of gains unnecessarily.
The inspiration for this came from a friend explaining an ICT/SMC concept around estimating the magnitude of a trend, by calculating the Asian Session Range, and reflecting it above or below on to the New York and London sessions. He described this as standard deviation of the Asian Range, where the range can thus be multiplied by some multiple for a wider or narrower deviation.
This, in turn, also reminded me of the Measured Move concept in Technical Analysis. We then consider that the market is fractal in nature, and this is why patterns persist in most timeframes. Traders exist across the spectrum of timeframes. Thus, a single bar on a timeframe, is made up of multiple bars on a lower timeframe . In other words, when we reflect a bar's range above or below itself, in the event that in a lower timeframe, that bar fit a pattern whose take profit target could be estimated via a Measured Move , then the band's value becomes a more valid estimate of a take profit point .
Yet another way to think about it, by way of the fractal nature above, is that it is essentially a simplified dynamic support and resistance mechanism , even simpler than say the various Pivot calculations (e.g. Classical, Camarilla, etc.).
This tool in general, can also be used by those who manually backtest setups (and certainly can be used in an automated setting too!). It is a research tool in that regard, applicable to various setups.
One of the pitfalls of manual backtesting is that it requires more discipline to really determine an exit point, because it's easy to say "oh, I'll know more or less where to exit when I go live, I just want to see that the entry tends to work". From experience, this is a bad idea, because our mind subconsciously knows that we haven't got a trained reflex on where to exit. The setup may be decent, but without an exit point, we will never have truly embraced and internalised trading it. Again, I speak from experience!
Thus, to use this to research take profit/exit points:
Have a setup in mind, with all the entry rules.
Plot your setup's indicators, mark your signals.
Use this indicator to get an idea of where to exit after taking an entry based on your signal.
Credits:
@ICT_ID for providing the idea of using ranges to estimate how far a trend move might go, in particular he used the Asian Range projected on to the London and New York market sessions.
All the technicians who came up with the idea of the Measured Move.
Multiple Oscillator Conditions Final [siulian] v2This tool is created to gather multiple oscilators condition under the same umbrela and back-test your idea.
Basically the only intention of this tool is to used in combination with a back-tester indicator ( or manually ) where you get the entry based on the cumulative signals provided by this tool.
For example you can to combine RSI , MACD, CCI, Keltner Channels or whatever indicator you think it might give you an edge for an entry signal.
You can combine up to 7 indicators either by comparing them with a static value or with another indicator (for example you can compare RSI with RSI MA, Volume with Volume MA, etc)
There are two lines which will be printed.
1) Result(blue line) - it will print 1 when all the condition are met ( the same can be used for back-testing tools)
2) Condition Met count(yellow line) - which will count how many conditions from the ones selected are triggered ( for example you have 6 indicators that are matching the conditions and you still want to take a trade even if the condition number 7 is not met)
Alarms can be setup to check if more than defined conditions are present.
As a demo in the above image i have put several condition in order to possible catch bottoms.
Please understand this is just an example on how to integrate multiple condition into a single entity and should not be used as is.
1) price should close below KC
2) CCI < - 100
3) RSI < 30
4) Vol > Vol MA
Past performance do not guarantee future performance.
Hybrid Overbought/Oversold OverlayIntroduction
This is a new representation of my well-known oscillator Hybrid Overbought/Oversold Detector overlaid on the chart. The script utilizes the following 12 different oscillators to bring forth a new indicator which I call it Hybrid OB/OS .
Utilized Oscillators
The utilized oscillators here are:
Bollinger Bands %B
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF)
Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO)
Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
Disparity Index (DIX)
Keltner Channel %K
Money Flow Index (MFI)
Rate Of Change (ROC)
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Relative Vigor Index (RVI/RVGI)
Stochastic
Twiggs Money Flow (TMF)
The challenging part of utilizing mentioned oscillators was that some of their formulas range are not similar and some of them does not have a mathematical range at all. So I used a normalization function to normalize all their output values to (0, 100) interval.
Overbought/Oversold Levels Calculation
I noticed that the levels which considered as OB/OS level by various traders for each of the utilized oscillators are so different, e.g., many traders consider 30 as OS level and 70 as OB level for RSI and some others take 20 and 80 as the levels, or some traders consider 20 and 80 as OS/OB levels for Stochastic oscillator. Also these levels could be different on different assets, e.g., OB/OS levels for CCI on EURUSD chart might be 80 and 20 while the levels on BTCUSDT chart might be 75 and 25, and so on.
So I decided to make a routine to automate the calculation of these levels using historical data. By this feature, my indicator would calculate the corresponding levels for the oscillators on current chart and then decide about the overbought/oversold situation of each one, which leads to a more accurate Hybrid OB/OS indication.
As the result, if all 12 individual oscillators say it's overbought/oversold, the Hybrid OB/OS shows 100% overbought/oversold, vice versa, if none of them say it's overbought/oversold, the Hybrid OB/OS shows 0, and so on.
The Overlaying Oscillator Problem!
A programming-related challenge here was that Pine Script assigns two separate spaces to the oscillators and the overlaid indicators, and the programmers are limited to use just one of them in each of their codes.
Knowing this, I was forced to simulate the oscillator space on the chart and display my oscillator as a diagram somehow. Of course it won't be as nice as the oscillator itself, because the relation between the main chart bars and the oscillator bars could not be obtained, but it's better than nothing!
Settings and Usage
The indicator settings contain some options about the calculations, the diagram display and the signals appearance. By default they are fine, but you could change them as you prefer.
This indicator is better to be used alongside other indicators as a confirmation (specially in counter-trend strategies I believe). Also it generates an external signal which you could use it in your own designed indicators as well.
Feel free to test it and also the former form of the Hybrid OB/OS . Good Luck!
Bullish Candlestick Patterns With Filters [TradeDots]The "Bullish Candlestick Patterns With Filters" is a trading indicator that identifies 6 core bullish candlestick patterns. This is further enhanced by applying channel indicator as filters, designed to further increase the accuracy of the recognized patterns.
6 CANDLESTICK PATTERNS
Hammer
Inverted Hammer
Bullish Engulfing
The Piercing Line
The Morning Star
The 3 White Soldiers
SIGNAL FILTERING
The indicator incorporates with 2 primary methodologies aimed at filtering out lower accuracy signals.
Firstly, it comes with a "Lowest period" parameter that examines whether the trough of the bullish candlestick configuration signifies the lowest point within a specified retrospective bar length. The longer the period, the higher the probability that the price will rebound.
Secondly, the channel indicators, the Keltner Channels or Bollinger Bands. This indicator examines whether the lowest point of the bullish candlestick pattern breaches the lower band, indicating an oversold signal. Users have the flexibility to modify the length and band multiplier, enabling them to custom-tune signal sensitivity.

Price and Volume Stochastic Divergence [MW]Introduction
This indicator creates signals of interest for entering and exiting long and short positions on equities. It primarily uses up and down trends defined by the change in cumulative volume with some filtering provided by a short period exponential moving average (9 EMA by default).
Settings
Moving Average Period : The moving average over which the cumulative volume delta is calculated. Default: 14
Short Period EMA : The EMA used to represent price action, and is used to generate the EMA Delta line. Default: 27 (3*3*3)
Long Period EMA : The second EMA used to calculate the EMA Delta line. Default: 108 (2*2*3*3*3)
Stochastic K Value : The value used for stochastic curve smoothing. Default: 3
Dot Size : The diameter of the larger indicator. Default: 10
Dot Transparency : The transparency level of the outer ring of the primary BUY/SELL signal. Default: 50 (0 is opaque, 100 is transparent)
Band Distance from 0 to 100 : The upper and lower band distance. Default: 20
Calculations
The cumulative volume delta (CVD) is calculated using candle bodies and wicks. For a red candle, buying volume is calculated by multiplying the volume by the spread percentage of the average of the top and bottom wicks, while Selling Volume is calculated multiplying the volume by the spread percentage of the average of the top and bottom wicks - in addition to the spread percentage of the candle body.
For a green candle, buying volume is calculated by multiplying the volume by the spread percentage of the average of the top and bottom wicks - plus the spread percentage of the candle body - while Selling Volume is calculated using only the spread percentage average of the top and bottom wicks.
Once we have the CVD, we can then perform a stochastic calculation of the CVD value.
stochastic calculation = (current value - lowest value in period) / (highest value in period - lowest value in period)
We’ll do the same stochastic calculation for the short term EMA (27 EMA default) as well as for the difference between the short term and long term EMA.
When the stochastic CVD value is rising from zero and the short term EMA stochastic value equals 100, then it’s a major bullish signal. When the stochastic CVD value is falling from 100 and the short term EMA stochastic value equals 0, then it’s a major bearish signal.
Sometimes, after a bullish or bearish signal, the stochastic CVD will reverse direction triggering a new opposing signal.
How to Interpret
The CVD indicates when there is either more buying than selling or vice versa. A value over 50 for the stochastic CVD curve represents more buying taking place. A value below 50 represents more selling. One might intuitively believe that when there is more buying volume than selling volume that the price would follow suit. This is not always the case.
Most of the time buying volume will precede consistent price movement upwards, and selling volume will precede consistent price movement downwards. When this divergence occurs, the indicator generates a signal. When this divergence begins to fail, and buying or selling volume reverses, then another signal is generated indicating that the buying/selling impulse is headed back into the direction of price action.
These interactions are visually represented on the chart with the coral line that represents CVD, and the yellow line that represents the EMA, or the average price. When the coral line goes up and the yellow line stays down, that’s the BUY signal. When the coral line goes down and the yellow line stays up, that’s the sell signal. When the coral line switches direction, the chart generates another signal showing that volume is moving in a direction that supports the price.
The orange line represents the stochastic representation of the difference between the short EMA (27 by default) and the long EMA (108 by default). EMA differences is a method that can be used to define a trend. When a short term EMA is above a longer term EMA, that may represent a bullish trend. When it is below, that may represent a bearish trend. When all 3 lines are rising or falling in the same direction at the same time, it tends to indicate a movement that has the potential to continue.
Other Usage Notes and Limitations
It's important for traders to be aware of the limitations of any indicator and to use them as part of a broader, well-rounded trading strategy that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and other tools that can help with reducing false signals, determining trend direction, and providing additional confirmation for a trade decision. Diversifying strategies and not relying solely on one type of indicator or analysis can help mitigate some of these risks.
This indicator can be paired with the MW Volume Impulse indicator if it is desired to see the actual buying and selling cumulative volume deltas. Also, in many cases, the BUY and SELL signals tend to correspond with Keltner Bands (ATR Bands) becoming extended. Lastly, volume weighted average price (VWAP) along with other macro events can impact price and negate signals. To view VWAP lines, you may choose to use the Multi VWAP or Multi VWAP for Gaps indicator to help ensure that the signals you see in this indicator are not being affected by VWAP lines.
Squeeze Momentum TD - A Revisited Version of the TTM SqueezeDescription:
The "Squeeze Momentum TD" is our unique take on the highly acclaimed TTM Squeeze indicator, renowned in the trading community for its efficiency in pinpointing market momentum. This script is a tribute and an extension to the foundational work laid by several pivotal figures in the trading industry:
• John Carter, for his creation of the TTM Squeeze and TTM Squeeze Pro, which revolutionized the way traders interpret volatility and momentum.
• Lazybear, whose original interpretation of the TTM Squeeze, known as the "Squeeze Momentum Indicator", provided an invaluable foundation for further development.
• Makit0, who evolved Lazybear's script to incorporate enhancements from the TTM Squeeze Pro, resulting in the "Squeeze PRO Arrows".
Our script, "Squeeze Momentum TD", represents a custom version developed after reviewing all variations of the TTM Squeeze indicator. This iteration focuses on a distinct visualization approach, featuring an overlay band on the chart for an user-friendly experience. We've distilled the essence of the TTM Squeeze and its advanced version, the TTM Squeeze Pro, into a form that emphasizes intuitive usability while retaining comprehensive analytical depth.
Features:
-Customizable Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels: These core components of the TTM Squeeze.
-Dynamic Squeeze Conditions: Ranging from No Squeeze to High Compression.
-Momentum Oscillator: A linear regression-based momentum calculation, offering clear insights into market trends.
-User-Defined Color Schemes: Personalize your experience with adjustable colors for bands and plot shapes.
-Advanced Alert System: Alerts for key market shifts like Bull Watch Out, Bear Watch Out, and Momentum shifts.
-Adaptive Band Widths: Modify the band widths to suit your preference.
How to use it?
• Transition from Light Green to Dark Green: Indicates a potential end to the bullish momentum. This 'Bull Watch Out' signal suggests that traders should be cautious about continuing bullish trends.
• Transition from Light Red to Dark Red: Signals that the bearish momentum might be fading, triggering a 'Bear Watch Out' alert. It's a hint for traders to be wary of ongoing bearish trends.
• Shift from Dark Green to Light Green: This change suggests an increase in bullish momentum. It's an indicator for traders to consider bullish positions.
• Change from Dark Red to Light Red: Implies that bearish momentum is picking up. Traders might want to explore bearish strategies under this condition.
• Rapid Change from Light Red to Light Green: This swift shift indicates a quick transition from bearish to bullish sentiment. It's a strong signal for traders to consider switching to bullish positions.
• Quick Shift from Light Green to Light Red: Demonstrates a speedy change from bullish to bearish momentum. It suggests that traders might want to adjust their strategies to align with the emerging bearish trend.

VDVA - Volume Delta Volatility AmplifierThis script defines an indicator named VDVA (Volume Delta Volatility Amplifier), which combines volume delta (the difference between volume up and volume down) and volatility (ATR) into one line. This line is then smoothed using a moving average and compared with the zero level and a shorter-period moving average. The script also plots shapes when the rate of change of the line exceeds the first standard deviation. Moreover, the script uses Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels to determine the squeeze condition, which is a signal of a potential breakout. Finally, the script plots two bar charts that show the volume up and volume down multiplied by ATR.
dark green line - bullish
light green line - potential bearish
dark red line - bearish
light red line - potential bullish
blue cloud - bullish
yellow cloud - bearish
red triangle - bearish entry
green triangle - bullish entry
purple cross - squeeze
Targets For Many Indicators [LuxAlgo]The Targets For Many Indicators is a useful utility tool able to display targets for many built-in indicators as well as external indicators. Targets can be set for specific user-set conditions between two series of values, with the script being able to display targets for two different user-set conditions.
Alerts are included for the occurrence of a new target as well as for reached targets.
🔶 USAGE
Targets can help users determine the price limit where the price might start deviating from an indication given by one or multiple indicators. In the context of trading, targets can help secure profits/reduce losses of a trade, as such this tool can be useful to evaluate/determine user take profits/stop losses.
Due to these essentially being horizontal levels, they can also serve as potential support/resistances, with breakouts potentially confirming new trends.
In the above example, we set targets 3 ATR's away from the closing price when the price crosses over the script built-in SuperTrend indicator using ATR period 10 and factor 3. Using "Long Position Target" allows setting a target above the price, disabling this setting will place targets below the price.
Users might be interested in obtaining new targets once one is reached, this can be done by enabling "New Target When Reached" in the target logic setting section, resulting in more frequent targets.
Lastly, users can restrict new target creation until current ones are reached. This can result in fewer and longer-term targets, with a higher reach rate.
🔹 Dashboard
A dashboard is displayed on the top right of the chart, displaying the amount, reach rate of targets 1/2, and total amount.
This dashboard can be useful to evaluate the selected target distances relative to the selected conditions, with a higher reach rate suggesting the distance of the targets from the price allows them to be reached.

[blackcat] L1 NinjaTrader ChannelNinjaTrader is a popular charting software widely used for trading analysis and execution in financial markets such as stocks, futures, and forex. It provides rich features and tools to assist traders in technical analysis, trade strategy development, and trade execution. When I discovered a built-in channel technical indicator in NinjaTrader and became interested in it but didn't understand its principles, I utilized my extensive development experience to simulate a similar version based on its characteristics, naming it "Ninja Channel" for reference only. First, I observed the characteristics and behavior of the built-in channel indicator. Pay attention to how it calculates and plots the channels, as well as its parameter settings and usage methods. This information can help me better understand the principles and functions of this indicator. Then, I attempted to simulate a similar channel indicator using my existing knowledge of technical analysis tools. I used charting tools and indicators to plot and calculate the upper and lower boundaries of the channel according to my needs and preferences. Please remember that this simulated version is for reference only; there is no guarantee that it will be exactly identical to the built-in channel indicator in NinjaTrader. The original built-in indicator may have more complex calculation methods with more precise results. Therefore, before engaging in actual trading activities, it is recommended that you carefully study and understand the principles and usage methods of the original indicator.
The Ninja Channel belongs to a type of technical indicator used for analyzing price range fluctuations and trends. It constructs an upper-lower boundary channel based on high-low points or moving average line fluctuations of prices to assist traders in determining overbought/oversold zones, trend strength/weaknesses,and price reversal points.
The main uses of Ninja Channel include:
1.Trend determination: The Ninja Channel helps traders determine price trends.When prices are located above half partofthechannel,it indicates an uptrend; when prices are located below half partofthechannel,it indicates adowntrend. Traders can formulate corresponding trading strategies based on trend analysis.
2.Overbought/oversold zones: The upper and lower boundaries of the Ninja Channel can be used to determine overbought and oversold zones.When prices touch or exceed the upper boundary of the channel, it may indicate an overbought market condition with a potential price pullback or reversal; when prices touch or fall below the lower boundary of the channel, it may indicate an oversold market condition with a potential price rebound or reversal.Traders can develop counter-trend or reversal trading strategies based on these overbought/oversold zones.
3.Dynamic support and resistance: The upper and lower boundaries of the Ninja Channel can be seen as dynamic support and resistance levels.When prices approach the upper boundary ofthechannel,theupperboundarymay act asresistance, limiting upward price movement; when prices approachthelowerboundaryofthechannel,thelowerboundarymayactassupport,limiting downward price movement.Traderscanmake trading decisions based on these dynamic supportandresistancelevels.
Of course, for this newly created indicator,some aspects are still unfamiliar.However,the learning process can refer to some common channel-type technical indicators including Bollinger Bands,Keltner Channels,and Donchian Channels. Each indicator has its unique calculation method and parameter settings.Traderscan choose suitable indicators according to their own needsandpreferences.
In summary,NinjaChannel is a type of technical indicator used for analyzingprice range fluctuationsandtrends.It helps traders determine trends,overbought/oversoldzones,anddynamic support/resistance levels in order to formulate appropriate trading strategies.However,technicalindicatorsareonly auxiliary tools.Traderstill needsto consider other factorsandsrisk managementstrategiesinorder tomakemore informedtradingdecisions.
TTM Waves ABC ATR AO MOM SQZ//All code picked from many indicators, if you recognize your code, pls comment so people can see your awesome work! I only edited and added them all together so people don't use all their indicator slots. Hope this indicator helps as many people as it can. LFG!!!
AO (Awesome Oscillator) Useful to find potential reversals in trend.
MOM (Momentum) An oscillator that measures momentum.
ATR (Average True Range) Measures the upside and downside from the average price movement occuring. 1 ATR is the general measurement. Many traders use 2ATR to set a stop and 4ATR to set take profit from their entry based on current reading from the ATR.
SQZ ( TTM Squeeze) Measures when bollinger bands have left the interior of the Keltner Channel in an attempt to predict volatility thats about to happen to either side. Green = Move is probably about to happen.
TTM Waves ( Waves A, B, and C) Measure the previous candles to determine chop, positive or negative trends. C measures the previous 30 candles or so, B the last 15 or so, and A measures the last 8 or so. You can use all three or just one. You can sneak in a move if the 2 fastest ones have moved into your preferred area. (Positive or Negative) If the wave is not fully positve or negative then that is probably chop.

DESCRIPTION:
This script monitors several other indicators in the background, and when it detects certain combinations that indicate bullish or bearish divergences, it will create a buy or sell signal and shade the background green or red.
The indicators that this script monitors:
- 1m, 3m, 5m MACDS
- Higher Lows (Bullish Divergence) on the 3m and 5m MACD
- Lower Highs (Bearish Divergence) on the 3m and 5m MACD
- Lower Highs on the 3m and 5m DMI for buying strength (Bearish Divergence)
- Lower Highs on the 3m and 5m DMI for selling strength (Bullish Divergence)
- The 1m and 3m Keltner channel (shown as orange backgrounds only), to detect extremes in price.
The indicator will also watch for "squeeze" or "crash" conditions, at which time it will avoid sending a sell or buy signal. I have had many frustrations from shorting into a squeeze, and coded in a "don't catch the knife" safety mechanism.
To see these internal calculations, you can go to settings and check "Show Internals". Then you can check the Style tab for a label for each internal indicator.
WHY I MADE THIS:
I often watch multiple timeframes while day trading and it can be a mentally difficult task to keep track of all of the indicators on each timeframe. 1m, 3m, 5m, price candles, MACD, DMI, and more. This indicator is meant to "offload" much of the routine mental calculation like "Is there a MACD divergence on this timeframe?". It also provides me a way to visually backtest the strength of combinations of divergences. This is an ongoing project.
USAGE:
- This indicator should mainly be used on the 1m ES chart. It is meant to assist me with day trading the ES futures contract.
- Please keep in mind this is a BETA script and is in ongoing development. I tune it almost every day or week and will update it on a regular basis.
- The "buy" and "sell" zones this indicator shows are COUNTER-TREND indicators. Please keep that in mind.
- If price is RISING into a RED background, I would consider selling, if my other systems agree and if I find the risk/reward acceptable.
- If price is FALLING into a GREEN background, I would consider buying, if my other systems agree and if I find the risk/reward acceptable.
A dim RED background:
- The presence of lower highs on the 3m MACD, 5m MACD, 3m DMI Buying Strength, or 5m DMI Buying Strength
A bright RED background:
- An extremely overdone price move that is also showing some divergences. My best effort at algorithmically detecting a place to sell.
A dim GREEN background:
- The presence of higher lows on the 3m MACD, 5m MACD
- The presence of lower highs on the 3m DMI Selling Strength, or 5m DMI Selling Strength.
A bright GREEN background:
- An extremely oversold price that is also showing some divergences. My best effort at algorithmically detecting a place a buy.
A bright green dot above price (if Show Internals is checked):
- A SQUEEZE signal that cuts off any sell signal. In these conditions technical indicators do not seem to matter as forced buyers are dominating the price action. Do not be tempted to short the rip.
A bright red dot below price (if Show Internals is checked):
- A CRASH signal that cuts off any buy signal. In these conditions technical indicators do not seem to matter as forced sellers are dominating the price action. Do not be tempted to catch the knife.
