ATR Extension from Moving Average, with Robust Sigma Bands
# ATR Extension from Moving Average, with Robust Sigma Bands
**What it does**
This indicator measures how far price is from a selected moving average, expressed in **ATR multiples**, then overlays **robust sigma bands** around the long run central tendency of that extension. Positive values mean price is extended above the MA, negative values mean price is extended below the MA. The signal adapts to volatility through ATR, which makes comparisons consistent across symbols and regimes.
**Why it can help**
* Normalizes distance to an MA by ATR, which controls for changing volatility
* Uses the **bar’s extreme** against the MA, not just the close, so it captures true stretch
* Computes a **median** and **standard deviation** of the extension over a multi-year window, which yields simple, intuitive bands for trend and mean-reversion decisions
---
## Inputs
* **MA length**: default 50, options 200, 64, 50, 20, 9, 4, 3
* **MA timeframe**: Daily or Weekly. The MA is computed on the chosen higher timeframe through `request.security`.
* **MA type**: EMA or SMA
* **Years lookback**: 1 to 10 years, default 5. This sets the sample for the median and sigma calculation, `years * 365` bars.
* **Line width**: visual width of the plotted extension series
* **Table**: optional on-chart table that displays the current long run **median** and **sigma** of the extension, with selectable text size
**Fixed parameters in this release**
* **ATR length**: 20 on the daily timeframe
* **ATR type**: classic ATR. ADR percent is not enabled in this version.
---
## Plots and colors
* **Main plot**: “Extension from 50d EMA” by default. Value is in **ATR multiples**.
* **Reference lines**:
* `median` line, black dashed
* +2σ orange, +3σ red
* −2σ blue, −3σ green
---
## How it is calculated
1. **Moving average** on the selected higher timeframe: EMA or SMA of `close`.
2. **Extreme-based distance** from MA, as a percent of price:
* If `close > MA`, use `(high − MA) / close * 100`
* Else, use `(low − MA) / close * 100`
3. **ATR percent** on the daily timeframe: `ATR(20) / close * 100`
4. **ATR multiples**: extension percent divided by ATR percent
5. **Robust center and spread** over the chosen lookback window:
* Center: **median** of the ATR-multiple series
* Spread: **standard deviation** of that series
* Bands: center ± 1σ, 2σ, 3σ, with 2σ and 3σ drawn
This design yields an intuitive unit scale. A value of **+2.0** means price is about 2 ATR above the selected MA by the most stretched side of the current bar. A value of **−3.0** means roughly 3 ATR below.
---
## Practical use
* **Trend continuation**
* Sustained readings near or above **+1σ** together with a rising MA often signal healthy momentum.
* **Mean reversion**
* Spikes into **±2σ** or **±3σ** can identify stretched conditions for fade setups in range or late-trend environments.
* **Regime awareness**
* The **median** moves slowly. When median drifts positive for many months, the market spends more time extended above the MA, which often marks bullish regimes. The opposite applies in bearish regimes.
**Notes**
* The MA can be set to Weekly while ATR remains Daily. This is deliberate, it keeps the normalization stable for most symbols.
* On very short intraday charts, the extension remains meaningful since it references the session’s extreme against a higher-timeframe MA and a daily ATR.
* Symbols with short histories may not fill the lookback window. Bands will adapt as data accrues.
---
## Table overlay
Enable **Table → Show** to see:
* “ATR from \”
* Current **median** and **sigma** of the extension series for your lookback
---
## Recommended settings
* **Swing equities**: 50 EMA on Daily, 5 to 7 years
* **Index trend work**: 200 EMA on Daily, 10 years
* **Position trading**: 20 or 50 EMA on Weekly MA, 5 to 10 years
---
## Interpretation examples
* Reading **+2.7** with price above a rising 50 EMA, near prior highs
* Strong trend extension, consider pyramiding in trend systems or waiting for a pullback if you are a mean-reverter.
* Reading **−2.2** into multi-month support with flattening MA
* Stretch to the downside that often mean-reverts, size entries based on your system rules.

## Credits
The concept of measuring stretch from a moving average in ATR units has a rich community history. This implementation and its presentation draw on ideas popularized by **Jeff Sun**, **SugarTrader**, and **Steve D Jacobs**. Thanks to each for their contributions to ATR-based extension thinking.

Liquidity Sweep Breakout - LSBLiquidity Sweep Breakout - LSB
A professional session-based breakout system designed for OANDA:USDJPY and other JPY pairs.
Not guesswork, but precision - built on detailed observation of institutional moves to capture clear trade direction daily.
Master the Market’s Daily Bank Flow.
---
Strategy Detail:
I discovered this strategy after carefully studying how Japanese banks influence the forex market during their daily settlement period. Banks are some of the biggest players in the financial world, and when they adjust or settle their accounts in the morning, it often creates a push in the market. From years of observation, I noticed a consistent pattern, once banks finish their settlements, the market usually continues moving in the same direction that was formed right after those actions. This daily banking flow often sets the tone for the entire trading session, especially for JPY pairs like USDJPY.
To capture this move, I built the indicator so that it follows the bank-driven trend with clear rules for entries, stop-loss (SL), and take-profit (TP). The system is designed with professional risk management in mind. By default, it assumes a $10,000 account size, risks only 1% of that balance per trade, and targets a 1:1.5 reward-to-risk ratio. This means for every $100 risked, the potential profit is $150. Such controlled risk makes the system safer and more sustainable for long-term traders. At the same time, users are not limited to this setup, they can adjust the account balance in the settings, and the indicator will automatically recalculate the lot size and risk levels based on their own capital. This ensures the strategy works for small accounts and larger accounts alike.
🌍 Why It Works
Fundamentally driven: Based on **daily Japanese banking settlement flows**.
Session-specific precision: Targets the exact window when USDJPY liquidity reshapes.
Risk-managed: Always calculates lot size based on account and risk preferences.
Automatable: With webhook + MT5 EA, it can be fully hands-free.

✅ Recommended
Pair: USDJPY (best observed behavior).
Timeframe: 3-Minute chart.
Platform: TradingView Premium (for webhooks).
Execution: MT5 via EA.

🔎 Strategy Concept
The Tokyo Magic Breakout (TMB) is built on years of session observation and the unique daily rhythm of the Japanese banking system.
Every morning between 5:50 AM – 6:10 AM PKT (09:50 – 10:10 JST), Japanese banks perform daily reconciliation and settlement. This often sets the tone for the USDJPY direction of the day.
This strategy isolates that critical moment of liquidity adjustment and waits for a clean breakout confirmation. Instead of chasing noise, it executes only when price action is aligned with the Tokyo market’s hidden flows.
---
🕒 Timing Logic
Session Start: 5:00 AM PKT (Tokyo market open range).
Magic Candle: The 5:54 AM PKT candle is marked as the reference “breakout selector.”
Checkpoints: First confirmation at 6:30 AM PKT, then every 15 minutes until 8:30 AM PKT.
* If price stays inside the magic range → wait.
* If a breakout happens but the candle wick touches the range → wait for the next checkpoint.
* If by 8:30 AM PKT no clean breakout occurs → the day is marked as No Trade Day (NTD).
👉 Recommended timeframe: 3-Minute chart (3M) for precise signals.
---
📈 Trade Execution
Entry: Clean break above/below the magic candle’s range.
Stop-Loss: Opposite side of the Tokyo session high/low.
Take-Profit: Calculated by Reward\:Risk ratio (default 1.5:1).
Lot Size: Auto-calculated based on your risk model:
* Fixed Dollar
* % of Equity
* Conservative (minimum of both).
Visuals include:
✅ Entry/SL/TP lines
✅ Shaded risk (red) and reward (green) zones
✅ Trade labels (Buy/Sell with lot size & levels)
✅ TP/SL hit markers

RRG Relative Strength# RRG Relative Strength (RRG RS)
Compare any symbol to a benchmark using two RRG-style lines: **RS-Ratio** (trend of relative strength) and **RS-Momentum** (momentum of that trend). Both are centered at **100**:
- **RS-Ratio > 100** → outperforming the benchmark
- **RS-Ratio < 100** → underperforming
- **RS-Momentum** often **leads** RS-Ratio (crosses 100 earlier)
# How it works
1) Relative Strength (RS): RS = Close(symbol) / Close(benchmark)
2) Normalize around 100: smooth RS with EMA and divide RS by that EMA
3) RS-Ratio: EMA( RS / EMA(RS, Length), LenSmooth ) * 100
4) RS-Momentum: RS-Ratio / EMA(RS-Ratio, LenSmooth) * 100
# Inputs
- Length (default 14): normalization window for RS
- Length Smooth (default 20): smoothing window for RS-Ratio & RS-Momentum
# Benchmark (auto)
- US: SP:SPX (S&P 500)
- Vietnam: HOSE:VNINDEX
- Crypto: INDEX:BTCUSD
(Modify the mapping if needed, or replace with your own input.symbol().)
# How to read
- Improving: RS-Momentum crosses above 100 while RS-Ratio turns up
- Leading: RS-Ratio > 100 with RS-Momentum ≥ 100
- Weakening: RS-Momentum drops below 100; RS-Ratio often follows
# Timeframes & presets
- Works on Daily and Weekly charts
- Daily (fast): 14 / 20
- Approx. weekly behavior on Daily: 50 / 60
Note: Values usually hover near 100 (e.g., ~90–110) but are not strictly bounded. Ensure your symbol and benchmark trade in comparable sessions/currencies.
Market Matrix ViewThis technical indicator is designed to provide traders with a quick and integrated view of market dynamics by combining several popular indicators into a single tool. It's not a magic bullet, but a practical aid for analyzing buying/selling pressure, trends, volume, and divergences, saving you time in the decision-making process. Built for flexibility, the indicator adapts to various trading styles (scalping, swing, or long-term) and offers customizable settings to suit your needs.
🟡 Multi-Timeframe Trends
➤ This section displays the trend direction (bullish, bearish, or neutral) across 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and Daily timeframes, providing multi-timeframe market context. Timeframes lower than the one currently selected will show "N/A."
➤It utilizes fast and slow Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) for each timeframe:
15m: Fast EMA 42, Slow EMA 170
1h: Fast EMA 40, Slow EMA 100
4h: Fast EMA 36, Slow EMA 107
Daily: Fast EMA 20, Slow EMA 60
🟡 Smart Flow & RVOL
➤ This section displays "Buying Pressure" or "Selling Pressure" signals based on indicator confluence, alongside volume activity ("High Activity," "Normal Activity," or "Low Activity").
➤ Smart Flow combines Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and Money Flow Index (MFI) to detect buying/selling pressure. CMF measures money flow based on price position within the high-low range, while MFI analyzes money flow considering typical price and volume. A signal is generated only when both indicators simultaneously increase/decrease beyond an adjustable threshold ("Buy/Sell Sensitivity") and volume exceeds a Simple Moving Average (SMA) scaled by the "Volume Multiplier."
➤ RVOL (Relative Volume) calculates relative volume separately for bullish and bearish candles, comparing recent volume (fast SMA) with a reference volume (slow SMA). Thresholds are adjusted based on the selected mode.
🟡 ADX & RSI
This section displays trend strength ("Strong," "Moderate," or "Weak"), its direction ("Bullish" or "Bearish"), and the RSI momentum status ("Overbought," "Oversold," "Buy/Sell Momentum," or "Neutral").
➤ ADX (Average Directional Index) measures trend strength (above 40 = "Strong," 20–40 = "Moderate," below 20 = "Weak"). Direction is determined by comparing +DI (upward movement) with -DI (downward movement). Additionally, an arrow indicates whether the trend's strength is decreasing or increasing.
➤RSI (Relative Strength Index) evaluates price momentum. Extreme levels (above 80/85 = "Overbought," below 15/20 = "Oversold") and intermediate zones (47–53 = "Neutral," above 53 = "Buy Momentum," below 47 = "Sell Momentum") are adjusted based on the selected mode.
🟡 When these signals are active for a potential trade setup, the table's background lights up green or red, respectively.
🟡 Volume Spikes
➤This feature highlights bars with significantly higher volume than the recent average, coloring them yellow on the chart to draw attention to intense market activity.
➤It uses the Z-Score method to detect volume anomalies. Current volume is compared to a 10-bar Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the standard deviation of volume over the same period. If the Z-Score exceeds a certain threshold, the bar is marked as a volume spike.
🟡 Divergences (Volume Divergence Detection)
➤ This feature marks divergences between price and technical indicators on the chart, using diamond-shaped labels (green for bullish divergences, red for bearish divergences) to signal potential trend reversals.
➤ It compares price deviations from a Simple Moving Average (SMA) with deviations of three indicators: Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), Money Flow Index (MFI), and On-Balance Volume (OBV). A bullish divergence occurs when price falls below its average, but CMF, MFI, and OBV rise above their averages, indicating hidden accumulation. A bearish divergence occurs when price rises above its average, but CMF, MFI, and OBV fall, suggesting distribution. The length of the moving averages is adjustable (default 13/10/5 bars for Scalping/Balanced/Swing), and detection thresholds are scaled by "Divergence Sensitivity" (default 1.0).
🟡 Adaptive Stop-Loss (ATR)
➤Draws dynamic stop-loss lines (red, dashed) on the chart for buy or sell signals, helping traders manage risk.Uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate stop-loss levels, set at low/high ± ATR × multiplier
🟡 Alerts for trend direction changes in the Info Panel:
➤ Triggers notifications when the trend shifts to Bullish (when +DI crosses above -DI) or Bearish (when +DI crosses below -DI), helping you stay informed about key market shifts.
How to use: Set alerts in Trading View for “Trend Changed to Bullish” or “Trend Changed to Bearish” with “Once Per Bar Close” for reliable signals.
🟡 Settings (Inputs)
➤ The indicator offers customizable settings to fit your trading style, but it's already optimized for Scalping (1m–15m), Balanced (16m–3h59m), and Swing (4h–Daily) modes, which automatically adjust based on the selected timeframe. The visible inputs allow you to adjust the following parameters:
Show Info Panel: Enables/disables the information panel (default: enabled).
Show Volume Spikes: Turns on/off coloring for volume spike bars (default: enabled).
Spike Sensitivity: Controls the Z-Score threshold for detecting volume spikes (default: 2.0; lower values increase signal frequency).
Show Divergence: Enables/disables the display of divergence labels (default: enabled).
Divergence Sensitivity: Adjusts the thresholds for divergence detection (default: 1.0; higher values reduce sensitivity).
Divergence Lookback Length: Sets the length of the moving averages used for divergences (default: 5, automatically adjusted to 13/10/5 for Scalping/Balanced/Swing).
RVOL Reference Period: Defines the reference period for relative volume (default: 20, automatically adjusted to 7/15/20).
RSI Length: Sets the RSI length (default: 14, automatically adjusted to 5/10/14).
Buy Sensitivity: Controls the increase threshold for Buying Pressure signals (default: 0.007; higher values reduce frequency).
Sell Sensitivity: Controls the decrease threshold for Selling Pressure signals (default: 0.007; higher values reduce frequency).
Volume Multiplier (B/S Pressure): Adjusts the volume threshold for Smart Flow signals (default: 0.6; higher values require greater volume).
🟡 This indicator is created to simplify market analysis, but I am not a professional in Pine Script or technical indicators. This indicator is not a standalone solution. For optimal results, it must be integrated into a well-defined trading strategy that includes risk management and other confirmations.

Canuck Trading Projection IndicatorCanuck Trading Projection Indicator
Overview
The Canuck Trading Projection Indicator is a powerful PineScript v6 tool designed for TradingView to project potential bullish and bearish price trajectories based on historical price and volume movements. It provides traders with actionable insights by estimating future price targets and assigning confidence levels to each outlook, helping to identify probable market directions across any timeframe. Ideal for both short-term and long-term traders, this indicator combines momentum analysis, RSI filtering, support/resistance detection, and time-weighted trend analysis to deliver robust projections.
Features
Bullish and Bearish Projections: Forecasts price targets for upward (bullish) and downward (bearish) movements over a user-defined projection period (default 20 bars).
Confidence Levels: Assigns percentage confidence scores to each outlook, reflecting the likelihood of the projected price based on historical trends, volatility, and volume.
RSI Filter: Incorporates a 14-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) to validate trends, requiring RSI > 50 for bullish and RSI < 50 for bearish signals.
Support/Resistance Detection: Adjusts confidence levels when projections are near key swing highs/lows (within 2% of average price), boosting confidence by 5% for alignments.
Time-Based Weighting: Prioritizes recent price movements in trend analysis, giving more weight to newer bars for improved relevance.
Customizable Inputs: Allows users to tailor lookback period, projection bars, RSI period, confidence threshold, colors, and label positioning.
Forced Label Spacing: Prevents overlap of bullish and bearish text labels, even for tight projections, using fixed vertical slots when price differences are small (<2% of average price).
Timeframe Flexibility: Works seamlessly across all TradingView timeframes (e.g., 30-minute, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly), adapting projections to the chart’s resolution.
Clean Visualization: Displays projections as green (bullish) and red (bearish) dashed lines, with non-overlapping text labels at the projection endpoints showing price targets and confidence levels.
How It Works
The indicator analyzes historical price and volume data over a user-defined lookback period (default 50 bars) to calculate:
Momentum: Combines price changes and volume to assess trend strength, using a weighted moving average (WMA) for directional bias.
Trend Analysis: Counts bullish (price up, volume above average, RSI > 50) and bearish (price down, volume above average, RSI < 50) trends, weighting recent bars more heavily.
Projections:
Bullish Slope: Positive or flat when momentum is upward, scaled by price change and momentum intensity.
Bearish Slope: Negative or flat when momentum is downward, amplified by bearish confidence for stronger projections.
Projects prices forward by 20 bars (default) using current close plus slope times projection bars.
Confidence Levels:
Base confidence derived from the proportion of bullish/bearish trends, with a 5% minimum to avoid zero confidence.
Adjusted by volatility (lower volatility increases confidence), volume trends, and proximity to support/resistance levels.
Visualization:
Draws projection lines from the current close to the 20-bar future target.
Places text labels at line endpoints, showing price targets and confidence percentages, with forced spacing for readability.
Input Parameters
Lookback Period (default: 50): Number of bars for historical analysis (minimum 10).
Projection Bars (default: 20): Number of bars to project forward (minimum 5).
Confidence Threshold (default: 0.6): Minimum confidence for strong trend indication (0.1 to 1.0).
Bullish Projection Line Color (default: Green): Color for bullish projection line and label.
Bearish Projection Line Color (default: Red): Color for bearish projection line and label.
RSI Period (default: 14): Period for RSI momentum filter (minimum 5).
Label Vertical Offset (%) (default: 1.0): Base offset for labels as a percentage of price range (0.1% to 5.0%).
Minimum Label Spacing (%) (default: 2.0): Minimum vertical spacing between labels for tight projections (0.5% to 10.0%).
Usage Instructions
Add to Chart: Copy the script into TradingView’s Pine Editor, save, and add the indicator to your chart.
Select Timeframe: Apply to any timeframe (e.g., 30-minute, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly) to match your trading strategy.
Interpret Outputs:
Green Line/Label: Bullish price target and confidence (e.g., "Bullish: 414.37, Confidence: 35%").
Red Line/Label: Bearish price target and confidence (e.g., "Bearish: 279.08, Confidence: 41.3%").
Higher confidence indicates a stronger likelihood of the projected outcome.
Adjust Inputs:
Modify Lookback Period to focus on shorter/longer historical trends (e.g., 20 for short-term, 100 for long-term).
Change Projection Bars to adjust forecast horizon (e.g., 10 for shorter, 50 for longer).
Tweak RSI Period or Confidence Threshold for sensitivity to momentum or trend strength.
Customize Colors for visual preference.
Increase Minimum Label Spacing if labels overlap in volatile markets.
Combine with Analysis: Use alongside other indicators (e.g., moving averages, Bollinger Bands) or fundamental analysis to confirm signals, as projections are probabilistic.
Example: TSLA Across Timeframes
Using live TSLA data (close ~346.46 USD, May 31, 2025), the indicator produces:
30-Minute: Bullish 341.93 (13.3%), Bearish 327.96 (86.7%) – Strong bearish sentiment due to intraday volatility.
1-Hour: Bullish 342.00 (33.9%), Bearish 327.50 (62.3%) – Bearish but less intense, reflecting hourly swings.
4-Hour: Bullish 345.52 (73.4%), Bearish 344.44 (19.0%) – Flat outlook, indicating consolidation.
Daily: Bullish 391.26 (68.8%), Bearish 302.22 (31.2%) – Bullish bias from recent uptrend, bearish tempered by longer lookback.
Weekly: Bullish 414.37 (35.0%), Bearish 279.08 (41.3%) – Wide range, reflecting annual volatility.
Monthly: Bullish 396.70 (54.9%), Bearish 296.93 (10.2%) – Long-term bullish optimism.
These results align with market dynamics: short-term intervals capture volatility, while longer intervals smooth trends, providing balanced outlooks.
Notes
Accuracy: Projections are estimates based on historical data and should be used with other analysis tools. Confidence levels indicate likelihood, not certainty.
Timeframe Sensitivity: Short-term intervals (e.g., 30-minute) show larger price swings and higher confidence due to volatility, while longer intervals (e.g., monthly) are more stable.
Customization: Adjust inputs to match your trading style (e.g., shorter lookback for day trading, longer for swing trading).
Performance: Tested on volatile stocks like TSLA, NVIDIA, and others, ensuring robust performance across markets.
Limitations: May produce conservative bearish projections in strong uptrends due to momentum weighting. Adjust lookback or projection_bars for sensitivity.
Feedback

Volume Flow RatioVolume Flow Ratio (VFR) Indicator
Overview
The Volume Flow Ratio (VFR) is a sophisticated volume analysis tool that measures current trading volume relative to the maximum volume of the previous period. Unlike traditional volume indicators that show raw volume or simple moving averages, VFR provides context by comparing current activity to recent maximum activity levels.
Core Features
1. Split Period Analysis
- Multiple Timeframe Options:
- Daily: Compares to previous day's maximum
- Weekly: Week-to-week comparison
- NYSE Weekly: Specialized for stock market trading (Monday-Friday only)
- Monthly: Month-to-month analysis
- Quarterly: Quarter-to-quarter perspective
- Yearly: Year-over-year volume comparison
2. Ratio-Based Measurement
- Displays volume as a ratio (0 to 1+) rather than raw numbers
- 1.0 represents volume equal to previous period's maximum
- Example: If previous max was 50,000 contracts:
- Current volume of 25,000 shows as 0.5
- Current volume of 75,000 shows as 1.5
3. Triple Coloring Modes
- Moving Average Based:
- Compares current ratio to its moving average
- Customizable MA period
- Green: Above MA (higher than average activity)
- Red: Below MA (lower than average activity)
- Previous Candle Comparison:
- Simple increase/decrease from previous bar
- Green: Higher than previous bar
- Red: Lower than previous bar
- Candle Color Based:
- Syncs with price action
- Green: Bullish candles (close > open)
- Red: Bearish candles (close < open)
Primary Use Cases
1. Volume Profile Analysis
- Perfect for traders who need to understand when markets are most active
- Helps identify unusual volume spikes relative to recent history
- Useful for timing entries and exits based on market participation
2. Market Activity Traders
Ideal for traders who:
- Need to identify high-liquidity periods
- Want to avoid low-volume periods
- Look for volume breakouts or divergences
- Trade based on institutional participation levels
3. Mean Reversion Traders
Helps identify:
- Overextended volume conditions (potential reversals)
- Volume exhaustion points
- Return to normal volume levels after spikes
4. Momentum Traders
Useful for:
- Confirming trend strength through volume
- Identifying potential trend exhaustion
- Validating breakouts with volume confirmation
Advantages Over Traditional Volume Indicators
1. Contextual Analysis
- Shows relative strength rather than raw numbers
- Easier to compare across different time periods
- Automatically adjusts to changing market conditions
2. Period-Specific Insights
- Respects natural market cycles (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Special handling for NYSE trading days
- Eliminates weekend noise in stock market analysis
3. Flexible Visualization
- Three distinct coloring methods for different trading styles
- Clear reference line at 1.0 for quick analysis
- Histogram style for easy pattern recognition
Best Practices
For Day Traders
- Use Daily split for intraday volume patterns
- MA coloring mode with shorter periods (5-10)
- Focus on ratios during market hours
For Swing Traders
- Weekly or NYSE Weekly splits
- Longer MA periods (15-20)
- Look for sustained volume patterns
For Position Traders
- Monthly or Quarterly splits
- Candle color mode for trend confirmation
- Focus on major volume shifts
Limitations
- Requires one full period to establish baseline
- May be less effective in extremely low volume conditions
- NYSE Weekly mode specific to stock market hours
This indicator is particularly valuable for traders who understand that volume is a crucial component of price action but need a more sophisticated way to analyze it than simple volume bars. It's especially useful for those who trade based on market participation levels and need to quickly identify whether current volume is significant relative to recent history.
MTF Moving Averages (only EMA)MTF Moving Averages (only EMA)
This script provides a Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Exponential Moving Average (EMA) indicator for traders to visualize multiple EMAs across different timeframes directly on a single chart.
The indicator dynamically calculates and plots up to four EMAs per timeframe (15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, and Daily) with user-defined lengths, offering valuable insight into price trends and potential entry or exit points.
Key Features:
Multiple Timeframe Support: The script allows you to view EMAs from different timeframes simultaneously. This is especially useful for traders who follow trends across different timeframes to make more informed decisions.
Customizable Lengths: For each timeframe, the lengths of the EMAs are fully customizable. You can adjust the length of up to four EMAs per timeframe to suit your strategy.
EMA Calculation: The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is used, which gives more weight to recent prices and reacts faster to price changes compared to the simple moving average (SMA).
Timeframe Flexibility: The indicator supports the following timeframes:
15-minute: Ideal for short-term traders and scalpers.
30-minute: For intraday trading with a slightly longer perspective.
1-hour: Suitable for swing traders and those who prefer a more medium-term view.
Daily: Great for longer-term trend-following strategies.
Interactive and User-Friendly: You can toggle the visibility of each EMA on each timeframe, allowing you to choose exactly which EMAs you wish to display, depending on your trading strategy.
Color-Coded for Clarity: The script uses distinct colors for each EMA on the chart:
Blue: EMA1
Green: EMA2
Red: EMA3
Purple: EMA4
Line Width Customization: Each plotted EMA line has a customizable width for better visual clarity.
Use Case:
Traders who use multiple timeframes for analysis (e.g., those using the "multi-timeframe analysis" technique) will find this script particularly useful. For example, a trader may look at the 15-minute chart to catch short-term movements, the 30-minute chart for intraday trends, the 1-hour chart for swing positions, and the Daily chart for identifying the overarching market trend. The script enables them to view the EMAs for all these timeframes in one glance without having to manually switch between them.
By observing the relationships between EMAs across multiple timeframes, traders can gain valuable insights into market conditions such as:
Crossovers: When a shorter-term EMA crosses above or below a longer-term EMA, it can signal a potential trend reversal or continuation.
Trend Strength: Multiple EMAs in alignment across different timeframes can indicate strong trend strength.
Support and Resistance: EMAs can act as dynamic support and resistance levels, guiding traders on price action levels to watch for potential price reversals.
Instructions:
Enable/Disable EMAs: Toggle on or off the EMAs for each timeframe (15-min, 30-min, 1-hour, Daily) using the script’s settings.
Adjust EMA Lengths: Change the default lengths for each EMA to match your preferred settings for different timeframes.
Monitor Key Levels: Watch how price interacts with the plotted EMAs to spot potential trading signals based on your strategy.
This indicator is designed to enhance your multi-timeframe analysis and help make more informed, data-driven trading decisions.

Dual Timeframe Williams Percent RangeThis is a dual timeframe Williams Percent Range indicator.
Function:
The idea behind this indicator is for trader to see what the Williams %r is doing on higher timeframes without the need to change the chart. I added the "Smoothing" function to take the jagged lines out of the higher timeframe. It has a better flow this way.
If we choose the 4H and the Daily timeframes for example. In this bullish situation I wait for the Daily WPR to cross above the -50 mid line. Then the faster 4H WPR will eventually hit the bottom and begin to rise again back into the trend.
This is the "Reset" of the 4H WPR and when the 4H WPR crosses up above the -50 mid line again it means price should begin to rise on the chart. I added the option to change the colour when the signal lines cross the -50. It is good to use a fast time frame so you can see the WPR hitting the bottom in an uptrend, but not too fast.
The Heiken Ashi candle sticks are a very good addition to this system. You can also use a colour changing 200 EMA if you run the "1H/Daily" in the WPR. Or the 50 EMA if you run the Daily 4H.
This system could be used on lower timeframes too but I have not tested it there.
The Dual WPR indicator, the colour changing 50 EMA and Heiken Ashi have been optimised for the 4H/Daily.
If you want to set alerts the the faster WPR line crossing the -50 is good, on candle close.
This way you will only need one alert per chart.
If you get an alert on the EURUSD 4H that the 4H WPR has crossed up then look to see what what the Daily WPR is doing. If it is also above the -50 mid line then EURUSD is probably trending up.
Thank you to TradingView for supplying the Williams %r template.
I hope this helps some other traders out there.
I combined the Supertrend and the Coloured EMA in the main screen into one indicator.
This is my first indicator published :-)
Have fun out there and good luck.

Depth of Market (DOM) [LuxAlgo]The Depth Of Market (DOM) tool allows traders to look under the hood of any market, taking price and volume analysis to the next level. The following features are included: DOM, Time & Sales, Volume Profile, Depth of Market, Imbalances, Buying Pressure, and up to 24 key intraday levels (it really packs a punch).
As a disclaimer, this tool does not use tick data, it is a DOM reconstruction from the provided real-time time series data (price and volume). So the volume you see is from filled orders only, this tool does not show unfilled limit orders.
Traders can enable or disable any of the features at will to avoid being overwhelmed with too much information and to make the tool perform faster.
The features that have the biggest impact on performance are Historical Data Collection, Key Levels (POC & VWAP), Time & Sales, Profile, and Imbalances. Disable these features to improve the indicator computational performance.
🔶 DOM
This is the simplest form of the tool, a simple DOM or ladder that displays the following columns:
PRICE: Price level
BID: Total number of market sell orders filled or limit buy orders filled.
SELL: Sell market orders
BUY: Buy market orders
ASK: Total number of market buy orders filled or limit sell orders filled.
The DOM only collects historical data from the last 24 hours and real-time data.
Traders can select a reset period for the DOM with two options:
DAILY: Resets at the beginning of each trading day
SESSIONS: Resets twice, as DAILY and 15.5 hours later, to coincide with the start of the RTH session for US tickers.
The DOM has two main modes, it can display price levels as ticks or points. The default is automatic based on the current daily volatility, but traders can manually force one mode or the other if they wish.
For convenience, traders have the option to set the number of lines (price levels), and the size of the text and to display only real-time data.
By default, the top price is set to 0 so that the DOM automatically adjusts the price levels to be displayed, but traders can set the top price manually so that the tool displays only the desired price levels in a fixed manner.
🔹 Volume Profile
As additional features to the basic DOM, traders have access to the volume profile histogram and the total volume per price level.
This helps traders identify at a glance key price areas where volume is accumulating (high volume nodes) or areas where volume is lacking (low volume nodes) - these areas are important to some traders who base their decision-making process on them.
🔹 Imbalances
Other added features are imbalances and buying pressure:
Interlevel Imbalance: volume delta between two different price levels
Intralevel Imbalance: delta between buy and sell volume at the same price level
Buying Pressure Percent: percentage of buy volume compared to total volume
Imbalances can help traders identify areas of interest in the price for possible support or resistance.
🔹 Depth
Depth allows traders to see at a glance how much supply is above the current price level or how much demand is below the current price level.
Above the current price level shows the cumulative ask volume (filled sell limit orders) and below the current price level shows the cumulative bid volume (filled buy limit orders).
🔶 KEY LEVELS
The tool includes up to 24 different key intraday levels of particular relevance:
Previous Week Levels
PWH: Previous week high
PWL: Previous week low
PWM: Previous week middle
PWS: Previous week settlement (close)
Previous Day Levels
PDH: Previous day high
PDL: Previous day low
PDM: Previous day middle
PDS: Previous day settlement (close)
Current Day Levels
OPEN: Open of day (or session)
HOD: High of day (or session)
LOD: Low of day (or session)
MOD: Middle of day (or session)
Opening Range
ORH: Open range high
ORL: Open range low
Initial Balance
IBH: Initial balance high
IBL: Initial balance low
VWAP
+3SD: Volume weighted average price plus 3 standard deviations
+2SD: Volume weighted average price plus 2 standard deviations
+1SD: Volume weighted average price plus 1 standard deviation
VWAP: Volume weighted average price
-1SD: Volume weighted average price minus 1 standard deviation
-2SD: Volume weighted average price minus 2 standard deviations
-3SD: Volume weighted average price minus 3 standard deviations
POC: Point of control
Different traders look at different levels, the key levels shown here are objective and specific areas of interest that traders can act on, providing us with potential areas of support or resistance in the price.
🔶 TIME & SALES
The tool also features a full-time and sales panel with time, price, and size columns, a size filter, and the ability to set the timezone to display time in the trader's local time.
The information shown here is what feeds the DOM and it can be useful in several ways, for example in detecting absorption. If a large number of orders are coming into the market but the price is barely moving, this indicates that there is enough liquidity at these levels to absorb all these orders, so if these orders stop coming into the market, the price may turn around.
🔶 SETTINGS
Period: Select the anchoring period to start data collection, DAILY will anchor at the start of the trading day, and SESSIONS will start as DAILY and 15.5 hours later (RTH for US tickers).
Mode: Select between AUTO and MANUAL modes for displaying TICKS or POINTS, in AUTO mode the tool will automatically select TICKS for tickers with a daily average volatility below 5000 ticks and POINTS for the rest of the tickers.
Rows: Select the number of price levels to display
Text Size: Select the text size
🔹 DOM
DOM: Enable/Disable DOM display
Realtime only: Enable/Disable real-time data only, historical data will be collected if disabled
Top Price: Specify the price to be displayed on the top row, set to 0 to enable dynamic DOM
Max updates: Specify how many times the values on the SELL and BUY columns are accumulated until reset.
Profile/Depth size: Maximum size of the histograms on the PROFILE and DEPTH columns.
Profile: Enable/Disable Profile column. High impact on performance.
Volume: Enable/Disable Volume column. Total volume traded at price level.
Interlevel Imbalance: Enable/Disable Interlevel Imbalance column. Total volume delta between the current price level and the price level above. High impact on performance.
Depth: Enable/Disable Depth, showing the cumulative supply above the current price and the cumulative demand below. Impact on performance.
Intralevel Imbalance: Enable/Disable Intralevel Imbalance column. Delta between total buy volume and total sell volume. High impact on performance.
Buying Pressure Percent: Enable/Disable Buy Percent column. Percentage of total buy volume compared to total volume.
Imbalance Threshold %: Threshold for highlighting imbalances. Set to 90 to highlight the top 10% of interlevel imbalances and the top and bottom 10% of intra-level imbalances.
Crypto volume precision: Specify the number of decimals to display on the volume of crypto assets
🔹 Key Levels
Key Levels: Enable/Disable KEY column. Very high performance impact.
Previous Week: Enable/Disable High, Low, Middle, and Close of the previous trading week.
Previous Day: Enable/Disable High, Low, Middle, and Settlement of the previous trading day.
Current Day/Session: Enable/Disable Open, High, Low and Middle of the current period.
Open Range: Enable/Disable High and Low of the first candle of the period.
Initial Balance: Enable/Disable High and Low of the first hour of the period.
VWAP: Enable/Disable Volume-weighted average price of the period with 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations.
POC: Enable/Disable Point of Control (price level with the highest volume traded) of the period.
🔹 Time & Sales
Time & Sales: Enable/Disable time and sales panel.
Timezone offset (hours): Enter your time zone\'s offset (+ or −), including a decimal fraction if needed.
Order Size: Set order size filter. Orders smaller than the value are not displayed.

BINANCE-BYBIT Cross Chart: Spot-Perpetual CorrelationName: "Binance-Bybit Cross Chart: Spot-Perpetual Correlation"
Category: Scalping, Trend Analysis
Timeframe: 1M, 5M, 30M, 1D (depending on the specific technique)
Technical analysis: This indicator facilitates a comparison between the price movements shown on the Binance spot chart and the Bybit perpetual chart, with the aim of discerning the correlation between the two charts and identifying the dominant market trends. It automatically generates the corresponding chart based on the ticker selected in the primary chart. When a Binance pair is selected in the main chart, the indicator replicates the Bybit perpetual chart for the same pair and timeframe, and vice versa, selecting the Bybit perpetual chart as the primary chart generates the Binance spot chart.
Suggested use: You can utilize this tool to conduct altcoin trading on Binance or Bybit, facilitating the comparison of price actions and real-time monitoring of trigger point sensitivity across both exchanges. We recommend prioritizing the Binance Spot chart in the main panel due to its typically longer historical data availability compared to Bybit.
The primary objective is to efficiently and automatically manage the following three aspects:
- Data history analysis for higher timeframes, leveraging the extensive historical data of the Binance spot market. Variations in indicators such as slow moving averages may arise due to differences in historical data between exchanges.
- Assessment of coin liquidity on both exchanges by observing candlestick consistency on smaller timeframes or the absence of gaps. In the crypto market, clean charts devoid of gaps indicate dominance and offer enhanced reliability.
- Identification of precise trigger point levels, including daily, previous day, or previous week highs and lows, which serve as sensitive areas for breakout or reversal operations.
All-Time High (ATH) and All-Time Low (ATL) levels may vary significantly across exchanges due to disparities in historical data series.
This tool empowers traders to make informed decisions by leveraging historical data, liquidity insights, and precise trigger point identification across Binance Spot and Bybit Perpetual market.
Configuration:
EMA length:
- EMA 1: Default 5, user configurable
- EMA 2: Default 10, user configurable
- EMA 3: Default 60, user configurable
- EMA 4: Default 223, user configurable
- Additional Average: Optional display of an additional average, such as a 20-period average.
Chart Elements:
- Session separator: Indicates the beginning of the current session (in blue)
- Background: Indicates an uptrend (60 > 223) with a green background and a downtrend (60 < 223) with a red background.
Instruments:
- EMA Daily: Shows daily averages on an intraday timeframe.
- EMA levels 1h - 30m: Shows the levels of the 1g-30m EMAs.
- EMA Levels Highest TF: Provides the option to select additional EMA levels from the major timeframes, customizable via the drop-down menu.
- "Hammer Detector: Marks hammers with a green triangle and inverted hammers with a red triangle on the chart
- "Azzeramento" signal on TF > 30m: Indicates a small candlestick on the EMA after a dump.
- "No Fomo" signal on TF < 30m: Indicates a hyperextended movement.
Trigger Points:
- Today's highs and lows: Shows the opening price of the day's candlestick, along with the day's highs and lows (high in purple, low in red, open in green).
- Yesterday's highs and lows: Displays the opening price of the daily candlestick, along with the previous day's highs and lows (high in yellow, low in red).
You can customize the colors in "Settings" > "Style".
It is best used with the Scalping The Bull indicator on the main panel.

4C Options Expected Move (Weekly + 0DTE)This indicator plots the calculated Expected Move for BOTH Weekly and Zero Dated Expiration (0DTE) Daily options, for a quick visual reference.
Please Note: This indicator is different from our original "4C Expected Move (Weekly Options)" indicator, as it now packages the ability to ALSO plot 0DTE options expected moves along with Weekly expected moves. Many other newer features have also been implemented.
Background Information
The Expected Move (EM) is the amount that a stock is predicted to increase or decrease from its current price, based on the current level of options pricing and implied volatility.
This range can be viewed as possible support and resistance, or, once price gets outside of the range, institutional hedging actions can accelerate the move in that direction.
It can be useful to know what the weekly EM range is for a stock to understand the probabilities of the overall distance, direction and volatility for the week.
About the Indicator
This indicator plots the calculated Expected Move for BOTH Weekly and Zero Dated Expiration (0DTE) options, for a quick visual reference.
For the weekly EM, the range is based on the Weekly close of the prior week.
For the Daily EM based on 0DTE options, the range is based on the Daily close of the prior day.
The indicator will automatically start a new weekly EM plot at the beginning of the week, and a new daily EM at the beginning of each day.
The EM values must be updated weekly and/or daily.
Features
Plots the EM for the week
Plots the EM for the day, for symbols that offer daily expiration options
Plots the 2 Standard Deviation EM for both the weekly and daily EM
Labels with calculated values are plotted near the levels for quick visual aid
Settings
Can toggle weekly EM on/off
Can toggle Daily EM on/off
Can toggle 2 Standard Deviation lines on/off
Can toggle labels for all EM on/off
Robust line settings
Can adjust label location left/right based on personal preference
Can enter symbol into settings as a reference
Handy instructions in the settings
How To Set Up The Indicator
To use this indicator you must have access to a broker with options data (not available on Tradingview).
Usually, you can look at the stock's option chain to find the weekly expected move.
You will have to do your own research to find where this information is displayed depending on your broker. You may also need to find the information elsewhere if your broker does not have this information.
You can also do your calculation of the EM using the following formula (please do your own research):
Expected Move = Option Price x Implied Volatility x Square Root of Time
See screenshot example below
This is the Thinkorswim platform's option chain, and the Implied Volatility % and the calculated EM are on the right side of the option chain.
The Expected Move is circled in blue. Use the +- number in parentheses, NOT the % value.
For the weekly EM, input the number that corresponds to the weekly option into the indicator. This must be done on a weekly basis, and It is typically best to use the EM for the next week expiration that is generated AFTER the Friday close and/or before the Monday open of the upcoming week.
For the daily EM, input the number that corresponds to the daily 0DTE option into the indicator. This must be done on a daily basis, and it is typically best to use the EM value for the 0DTE option that is generated the night before (after market close), or before the market opens for that 0DTE. .
MTF TMOTMO - (T)rue (M)omentum (O)scillator) MTF (Higher Aggregation) Version
TMO calculates momentum using the DELTA of price. Giving a much better picture of the trend, reversals & divergences than most momentum oscillators using price. Aside from the regular TMO, this study combines four different TMO aggregations into one indicator for an even better picture of the trend. Once you look deeper into this study you will realize how complex this tool is. This version also produce much more information like crosses, divergences, overbought / oversold signals, higher aggregation fades etc. It is probably not even possible to explain them all, there could easily be an entire e-book about this study.
I have been using this tool for a couple of years now, and this is what i have learned so far:

1. 1m / 5m / 30m - Great for intraday futures or options scalps. 30m TMO serves as the overall trend gauge for the day. 5min dictates the longer term intraday moves as well as direction of the 1min. 1min is for the scalps. When the 5min TMO is sloping higher focus should be on 1min buy signals (red to green cross) and vice versa for the 5min agg. sloping down.
2. 5m / 30m / 60m - Also an interesting variation for day trading the 3-5 min charts. Producing more cleaner & beginner-friendly signals that lasts couple of minutes instead of seconds.
3. 120m / Day / 2 Day - For the 30m to 1H or 2H timeframes. Daily & 2 Day dictates the overall trend. 120 min for the signals. Great for a multi-day swings.
4. Day / 2 Day / Week - Good for the daily charts, swing trading analysis as the weekly dictates the overall trend, daily dictates the signals and the 2 day cleans out the daily signals. If the daily & 2 day are not aligned togather, daily signal means nothing. Weekly dictates 2 day - 2 day dictates daily.
5. Week / Month / 3 Month - Same thing as the previous variation but for the weekly charts.
TMO Length:
The default vanilla settings are 14,5,3. Some traders prefer 21,5,3 as the TMO length is litle higher = TMO will potenially last little longer which could teoretically produce less false signals but slower crosses which means signals will lag more behind price. The lower the length, the faster the oscillator oscillates. It is the noice vs. the lag debate. The Length can be changed, but i would not personally touch the other two. Few points up or down on length will not drastically change much. But changes on Calc Length and Smooth Length can produce totally different signals from the original.
Tips & Tricks:
1. Observe
- This is the best tip & trick I can give you. The #1 best way to learn how any study operates is to just observe how it works in certain situations from the past. MTF TMO is not
an exception.
2. The Power of the Higher Aggregation
- The higher aggregation ALWAYS dictates the lower one. Best way to see this? Just 2x the current timeframe aggregation = so on daily chart, plot the daily & two day TMOs and you will notice how the higher agg. smooths out the current agg. The higher the aggregation is, the smoother (but slower) will the TMO turn. The real power kicks in when the 3 or 4 aggregations are aligned togather in one direction.
3. Position of the Higher Aggregation in Relation to the Extremes
- Overbought / oversold signals might not really work on the current aggregation. But pay attention to the higher aggregations in relation to the extremes. Ex: on the daily chart - daily TMO inside the OB / OS extremes might not mean much. But once the higher aggregations such as 3 day or Weekly TMO enters OB/OS zone togather with the daily, this can be a very powerful signal for a TMO reversion to the zeroline.
4. Crosses
- Yes, crosses do work. Personally, I never really focused on them. The thing about the crosses is that it is crucial to pick the right higher aggregation to the combination of the current one that would be reliable but also print enough signals. The closer the cross is to the OB / OS extremes, the more bigger move can occur. Crosses around the zero line can be considered as less quality crosses.
5. Divergences
- TMO can print awesome divergences. The best divergences are on the current aggregation (TMO agg. same as the chart) since the current agg. oscillates fast, it can usually produce lower lows & higher highs faster then any higher aggregations. Easy setup: wait for the higher aggregation to reach the OB / OS extremes and watch the current (chart) aggregation to print a divergence.
6. Three is Enough
- I personally find more than three aggregations messy and hard to read. But there is always the option to turn on the 4th one. Just switch the TMO 4 Main, TMO 4 Signal and TMO 4 Fill in the style settings.
Hope it helps.
[CP]Pivot Boss Multi Timeframe CPR Inception with MACD and EMAINTRODUCTION:
This indicator combines multi-timeframe CPR bands with MACD Momentum and EMA trend, all projected on the candlestick chart through a novel visualization.
If you have seen my other indicators on TradingView, you would know that I use floor pivots a lot and “Secrets of a Pivot Boss” is my favorite book. While using floor pivots, time and again I have noticed an interesting price behavior,
Trending moves in price typically start from around the Central Pivot Range (CPR). The CPR could be from ANY timeframe. These moves can easily be caught using simple momentum and trend indicators like MACD and EMA crossovers.
Yes, it is that simple. Follow along to understand how to use this indicator.
INDICATOR SETTINGS:
RANGEBOUND MACD AND EMA MARKINGS:
TradingView limits the max number of labels that can be shown on a chart to 500. Therefore, if you go far back enough, you won't see any markings for the MACD or EMA setups. If you are looking to test the efficacy of this indicator in the past, change the start and end dates to your desired timeframe and then select the ‘Mark MACD and EMA Setups in Range?’ option.
MULTI TIMEFRAME CENTRAL PIVOT RANGE:
Here you can select CPRs and their bands from which timeframes are shown on the chart. I will share my favorite settings later in this description.
CPR CONFIGURATION:
Show CPR Labels: CPRs markings can carry labels, so that you don’t confuse between which line is what. Use this setting to toggle them On/Off.
Show Next Time Period Pivots: Check this option if you want to see the CPR of the next time period. This is typically done to figure out the ’Two Day CPR Relationship’ . Read the book, “Secrets of a Pivot Boss”, to understand more.
EMA TREND:
Show EMA on the Chart: EMAs will be plotted on the chart. Standard stuff.
Mark EMA Crossovers on Chart: EMA crossovers will be marked on the chart in diamond shapes. If you are using EMA crossovers, I recommend setting this option to True.
Rest of the EMA settings are fairly obvious.
MACD MOMENTUM:
Projecting MACD parameters directly on the candlesticks is surely going to give you a new perspective about price action and MACD.
Also, in order to better understand the MACD projections on the chart, you can add a standard MACD indicator on the chart with default settings to figure out what my indicator is actually showing you.
Marking MACD Crossovers on Chart: Marks the MACD signal crossovers on the chart. This visualization was a game changer for me.
Show MACD Histogram on Chart: Projects the complete MACD Histogram in a novel fashion (Try it!). You will be able to visually see the ebbs and flow of momentum in the charts.
Mark MACD Histogram Peaks on Chart: Marks only the MACD peaks instead of the complete histogram. Peaks are a great way to enter an ongoing trend and to play an intraday rangebound market.
Rest of the settings are just the standard settings that you will find in a typical MACD indicator.
ALERTS:
Not shown in the settings panel, but I have added alerts for EMA and MACD Crossovers so that you don’t have to sit in front of the charts or constantly check the price all day long.
If you don’t know how to set alerts in TradingView, then please Google it.
INDICATOR USAGE EXAMPLES:
This indicator can be used in intraday as well as in higher timeframes.
There are quite a few variations possible, I personally prefer to use the EMA crossovers in intraday (5m) and MACD on Daily timeframes.
This is just a matter of personal preference, some people might prefer using EMAs only or MACD only in all timeframes.
Here are my personal settings for the intraday 5-minute timeframe:
Turn on all the CPR pivots starting from Yearly all the way to Daily. You can turn on 6 hourly and 4 hourly as well if you want.
Hourly CPR is mostly used when the price is in a strong trend and you missed the entry and don’t know when to enter. Price will typically experience pullbacks towards the Hourly CPR, before resuming in the direction of the trend. That is your chance to hop onto the bandwagon.
For Intraday, I keep the Bands off. Just a personal preference here.
You can turn ON the Show CPR Labels , if you want.
Turn ON both the options in the EMA TREND section. You would want to see the EMA crossovers marked on the chart as well as the EMAs themselves, as the distance between the two EMAs will give you an idea about the strength of the trend.
Keep rest of the settings in the EMA section as default (you can change the colors if you wish). I keep the same EMAs as the ones kept in the MACD indicator. I like to keep things simple.
In the MACD MOMENTUM section, turn ON Mark MACD Histogram Peaks on Chart and all the other options turned OFF. Leave the other settings as default. By the way, these are the default settings of the standard MACD Indicator.
You can set up EMA Bullcross and Bearcross alarms if you like.
Before checking out the examples, remember one super simple rule:
SOME OF THE BEST TRENDING MOVES IN THE MARKET, BE IT INTRADAY OR OTHERWISE, ORIGINATE IN THE VICINITY OF A LARGER TIMEFRAME PIVOT/CPR.
Look for price settling above/below a pivot, and then a move away from the pivot in any direction is typically a trending move.
You can use hourly pivots or MACD Histogram peaks marked on the chart to enter an existing trend, or add to your positions.
Let’s have a look at a few recent intraday examples from the Crypto, Indian, and US equity markets.
I have added my comments in the charts to make you easily understand what is going on.
Understand that both, moving average crossover and MACD, will give out a lot of signals (chop) every day. But almost 70% of them are going to be fake signals. It is the signals that you get when the price is near a Pivot, that tend to convert into gorgeous trending moves that last.
BTC 5m Charts
NIFTY Futures 5m Charts (good intraday trends are hard to find here, as the market is very efficient)
TSLA 5m Charts
Some important points for using this indicator in higher timeframes:
For higher timeframes, my personal preference is to go with the MACD indicator. I personally find MACD to be lethal on daily and weekly timeframes, if you know how to use it well.
The default settings of the indicator are the settings I use for both, Daily and Weekly, timeframes. Additionally, I turn off the CPR labels.
In theory large trending moves still have a big probability to start near an important pivot level, however, in larger timeframes, trending moves can start from anywhere. They need not start in the vicinity of any important pivot (but they often do!).
Weekly pivots can act as great pullback levels when the price is in strong momentum, when trading on the daily timeframe.
Quarterly Pivots act as great pullback levels when the price is in strong momentum, when trading on the weekly timeframe.

FINAL WORDS:
Please understand that I have Cherry Picked the examples to showcase the capability of the indicator and its usage.
DO NOT conflate the accuracy of examples with the accuracy of this indicator.
Biggest catch is the fact that this indicator, like every other indicator out there, will have whipsaws. Some I have also marked in the example charts.
You need to come up with your own technique to avoid whipsaws, one technique I have shared here…… big moves typically start near pivots.
Work on avoiding whipsaws and finding you own edge in the markets.
If you really want to learn how to use Pivots, read the book ’Secrets of a Pivot Boss’ . This book can change your life.

EPS Estimate Profile [SS]This is the EPS Estimate Profile indicator.
What it does
This indicator
Collects all EPS estimates over the course of a lookback and BINS them (sorts them into 10 equal sized categories).
Analyzes the returns from earnings releases based on the EPS estimate and the reaction.
Calculates the number of bullish vs bearish responses that transpired based on the EPS estimate profile.
Calculates the expected Open to High and Open to Low ATR based on the EPS estimate using regression.
Toggle to actual EPS release to compare once earnings results are released.
How to Use it
This indicator can be used to gain insight into whether an earnings release will be received bullishly or bearishly based on the company's EPS estimate.
The indicator allows you to see all historic estimates and how the market generally responded to those estimates, as well as a breakdown of how many times estimates in those ranges produced a bullish response or a bearish response to earnings.
Examples
Let's look at some examples:
Here is MSFT. MSFT's last EPS estimate was 3.672.
If we consult the table, we can see the average return associated with this estimate range is -4%.
Now let's flip to the Daily timeframe and take a look:
MSFT ended the day red and continued to sell into the coming days.
Let's look at another example:
MCDs. Last earnings estimate was 3.327, putting it at the top of the range with an average positive return of 4%.
Let's look on the daily:
We can see that the earnings had a huge, bullish effect on MCD, despite them coming in below their estimates.
If we toggle the indicator to "Actual" EPS release, to see the profile of Actual earnings releases vs response, we get this:
Since MCD under-performed, they were still at the top of the profile; but, we can see that the expected returns are more muted now, though still positive. And indeed, the reaction was still positive.
Distinguishing % Bullish/Bearish to Avg Returns
You will see the profile table displays both the average returns and the percent of bullish/bearish responses. In some cases, you will see that, despite a negative return, the profile reveals more bullish reactions than bearish.
What does this mean?
It means, despite there being more bullish responses, when bearish responses happen they tend to be more severe and profound, vs bullish responses likely are muted.
This can alert you to potential downside risk and help you manage risk accordingly should you elect to trade the earnings release.
ATR Prediction
You will notice in the bottom right corner of the screen a secondary table that lists the predicted open to high ATR and open to low ATR.
This is done using RAW EPS estimates (or raw ACTUAL estimates depending on which you select) and performing a regression to determine the expected ATR.
This is only for reference, the analysis should focus around the historic profile of return estimates and actual return values.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You MUST be on the Monthly timeframe to use this. Otherwise, you will get an error. If, on certain tickers with a huge history, such as MSFT and XOM or OXY, you get an error, you can simply reduce the lookback length to 80 and this will resolve the issue.
Conclusion
And that's the indicator!
A blend of some light math and fundamentals! A real joy honestly.
Hope you enjoy it!
MESA Adaptive Ehlers Flow | AlphaNattMESA Adaptive Ehlers Flow | AlphaNatt
An advanced adaptive indicator based on John Ehlers' MESA (Maximum Entropy Spectrum Analysis) algorithm that automatically adjusts to market cycles in real-time, providing superior trend identification with minimal lag across all market conditions.
🎯 What Makes This Indicator Revolutionary?
Unlike traditional moving averages with fixed parameters, this indicator uses Hilbert Transform mathematics to detect the dominant market cycle and adapts its responsiveness accordingly:
Automatically detects market cycles using advanced signal processing
MAMA (MESA Adaptive Moving Average) adapts from fast to slow based on cycle phase
FAMA (Following Adaptive Moving Average) provides confirmation signals
Dynamic volatility bands that expand and contract with cycle detection
Zero manual optimization required - the indicator tunes itself
📊 Core Components
1. MESA Adaptive Moving Average (MAMA)
The MAMA is the crown jewel of adaptive indicators. It uses the Hilbert Transform to measure the market's dominant cycle and adjusts its smoothing factor in real-time:
During trending phases: Responds quickly to capture moves
During choppy phases: Smooths heavily to filter noise
Transition is automatic and seamless based on price action
Parameters:
Fast Limit: Maximum responsiveness (default: 0.5) - how fast the indicator can adapt
Slow Limit: Minimum responsiveness (default: 0.05) - maximum smoothing during consolidation
2. Following Adaptive Moving Average (FAMA)
The FAMA is a slower version of MAMA that follows the primary signal. The relationship between MAMA and FAMA provides powerful trend confirmation:
MAMA > FAMA: Bullish trend in progress
MAMA < FAMA: Bearish trend in progress
Crossovers signal potential trend changes
3. Hilbert Transform Cycle Detection
The indicator employs sophisticated DSP (Digital Signal Processing) techniques:
Detects the dominant cycle period (1.5 to 50 bars)
Measures phase relationships in the price data
Calculates adaptive alpha values based on cycle dynamics
Continuously updates as market character changes
⚡ Key Features
Adaptive Alpha Calculation
The indicator's "intelligence" comes from its adaptive alpha:
Alpha dynamically adjusts between Fast Limit and Slow Limit based on the rate of phase change in the market cycle. Rapid phase changes trigger faster adaptation, while stable cycles maintain smoother response.
Dynamic Volatility Bands
Unlike static bands, these adapt to both ATR volatility AND the current cycle state:
Bands widen when the indicator detects fast adaptation (trending)
Bands narrow during slow adaptation (consolidation)
Band Multiplier controls overall width (default: 1.5)
Provides context-aware support and resistance
Intelligent Color Coding
Cyan: Bullish regime (MAMA > FAMA and price > MAMA)
Magenta: Bearish regime (MAMA < FAMA and price < MAMA)
Gray: Neutral/transitional state
📈 Trading Strategies
Trend Following Strategy
The MESA indicator excels at identifying and riding strong trends while automatically reducing sensitivity during choppy periods.
Entry Signals:
Long: MAMA crosses above FAMA with price closing above MAMA
Short: MAMA crosses below FAMA with price closing below MAMA
Exit/Management:
Exit longs when MAMA crosses below FAMA
Exit shorts when MAMA crosses above FAMA
Use dynamic bands as trailing stop references
Mean Reversion Strategy
When price extends beyond the dynamic bands during established trends, look for bounces back toward the MAMA line.
Setup Conditions:
Strong trend confirmed by MAMA/FAMA alignment
Price touches or exceeds outer band
Enter on first sign of reversal toward MAMA
Target: Return to MAMA line or opposite band
Cycle-Based Swing Trading
The indicator's cycle detection makes it ideal for swing trading:
Enter on MAMA/FAMA crossovers
Hold through the detected cycle period
Exit on counter-crossover or band extremes
Works exceptionally well on 4H to Daily timeframes
🔬 Technical Background
The Hilbert Transform
The Hilbert Transform is a mathematical operation used in signal processing to extract instantaneous phase and frequency information from a signal. In trading applications:
Separates trend from cycle components
Identifies the dominant market cycle without curve-fitting
Provides leading indicators of trend changes
MESA Algorithm Components
Smoothing: 4-bar weighted moving average for noise reduction
Detrending: Removes linear price trend to isolate cycles
InPhase & Quadrature: Orthogonal components for phase measurement
Homodyne Discriminator: Calculates instantaneous period
Adaptive Alpha: Converts period to smoothing factor
MAMA/FAMA: Final adaptive moving averages
⚙️ Optimization Guide
Fast Limit (0.1 - 0.9)
Higher values (0.5-0.9): More responsive, better for volatile markets and lower timeframes
Lower values (0.1-0.3): Smoother response, better for stable markets and higher timeframes
Default 0.5: Balanced for most applications
Slow Limit (0.01 - 0.1)
Higher values (0.05-0.1): Less smoothing during consolidation, more signals
Lower values (0.01-0.03): Heavy smoothing during chop, fewer but cleaner signals
Default 0.05: Good noise filtering while maintaining responsiveness
Band Multiplier (0.5 - 3.0)
Adjust based on instrument volatility
Backtest to find optimal value for your specific market
1.5 works well for most forex and equity indices
Consider higher values (2.0-2.5) for cryptocurrencies
🎨 Visual Interpretation
The gradient visualization shows probability zones around the MESA line:
MESA line: The adaptive trend center
Band expansion: Indicates strong cycle detection and trending
Band contraction: Indicates consolidation or ranging market
Color intensity: Shows confidence in trend direction
💡 Best Practices
Let it adapt: Give the indicator 50+ bars to properly calibrate to the market
Combine timeframes: Use higher timeframe MESA for trend bias, lower for entries
Respect the bands: Price rarely stays outside bands for extended periods
Watch for compression: Narrow bands often precede explosive moves
Volume confirmation: Combine with volume for higher probability setups
📊 Optimal Timeframes
15m - 1H: Day trading with Fast Limit 0.6-0.8
4H - Daily: Swing trading with Fast Limit 0.4-0.6 (recommended)
Weekly: Position trading with Fast Limit 0.2-0.4
⚠️ Important Considerations
The indicator needs time to "learn" the market - avoid trading the first 50 bars after applying
Extreme gap events can temporarily disrupt cycle calculations
Works best in markets with detectable cyclical behavior
Less effective during news events or extreme volatility spikes
Consider the detected cycle period for position holding times
🔍 What Makes MESA Superior?
Compared to traditional indicators:
vs. Fixed MAs: Automatically adjusts to market conditions instead of using one-size-fits-all parameters
vs. Other Adaptive MAs: Uses true DSP mathematics rather than simple volatility adjustments
vs. Manual Optimization: Continuously re-optimizes itself in real-time
vs. Lagging Indicators: Hilbert Transform provides earlier trend change detection
🎓 Understanding Adaptation
The magic of MESA is that it solves the eternal dilemma of technical analysis: be fast and get whipsawed in chop, or be smooth and miss the early move. MESA does both by detecting when to be fast and when to be smooth.
Adaptation in Action:
Strong trend starts → MESA quickly detects phase change → Fast Limit kicks in → Early entry
Trend continues → Phase stabilizes → MESA maintains moderate speed → Smooth ride
Consolidation begins → Phase changes slow → Slow Limit engages → Whipsaw avoidance
🚀 Advanced Applications
Multi-timeframe confluence: Use MESA on 3 timeframes for high-probability setups
Divergence detection: Watch for MAMA/price divergences at band extremes
Cycle period analysis: The internal period calculation can guide position duration
Band squeeze trading: Narrow bands + MAMA/FAMA cross = high-probability breakout

HermesHERMES STRATEGY - TRADINGVIEW DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
Hermes is an adaptive trend-following strategy that uses dual ALMA (Arnaud Legoux Moving Average) filters to identify high-quality entry and exit points. It's designed for swing and position traders who want smooth, low-lag signals with minimal whipsaws.
Unlike traditional moving averages that operate on price, Hermes analyzes price returns (percentage changes) to create signals that work consistently across any asset class and price range.
HOW IT WORKS
DUAL ALMA SYSTEM
The strategy uses two ALMA lines applied to price returns:
• Fast ALMA (Blue Line): Short-term trend signal (default: 80 periods)
• Slow ALMA (Black Line): Long-term baseline trend (default: 250 periods)
ALMA is superior to simple or exponential moving averages because it provides:
• Smoother curves with less noise
• Significantly reduced lag
• Natural resistance to outliers and flash crashes
TRADING LOGIC
BUY SIGNAL:
• Fast ALMA crosses above Slow ALMA (bullish regime)
• Price makes new N-bar high (momentum confirmation)
• Optional: Price above 200 EMA (macro trend filter)
• Optional: ALMA lines sufficiently separated (strength filter)
SELL SIGNAL:
• Fast ALMA crosses below Slow ALMA (bearish regime)
• Optional: Price makes new N-bar low (momentum confirmation)
The strategy stays in position during the entire bullish regime, allowing you to ride trends for weeks or months.
VISUAL INDICATORS
LINES:
• Blue Line: Fast ALMA (short-term signal)
• Black Line: Slow ALMA (long-term baseline)
TRADE MARKERS:
• Green Triangle Up: Buy executed
• Red Triangle Down: Sell executed
• Orange "M": Buy blocked by momentum filter
• Purple "W": Buy blocked by weak crossover strength
KEY PARAMETERS
ALMA SETTINGS:
• Short Period (default: 30) - Fast signal responsiveness
• Long Period (default: 250) - Baseline stability
• ALMA Offset (default: 0.90) - Balance between lag and smoothness
• ALMA Sigma (default: 7.5) - Gaussian curve width
ENTRY/EXIT FILTERS:
• Buy Lookback (default: 7) - Bars for momentum confirmation (required)
• Sell Lookback (default: 0) - Exit momentum bars (0 = disabled for faster exits)
• Min Crossover Strength (default: 0.0) - Required ALMA separation (0 = disabled)
• Use Macro Filter (default: true) - Only enter above 200 EMA
BEST PRACTICES
RECOMMENDED ASSETS - Works well on:
• Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.)
• Major indices (S&P 500, Nasdaq)
• Large-cap stocks
• Commodities (Gold, Oil)
RECOMMENDED TIMEFRAMES:
• Daily: Primary timeframe for swing trading
• 4-Hour: More active trading (increase trade frequency)
• Weekly: Long-term position trading
PARAMETER TUNING:
• More trades: Lower Short Period (60-80)
• Fewer trades: Raise Short Period (100-120)
• Faster exits: Set Sell Lookback = 0
• Safer entries: Enable Macro Filter (Use Macro Filter = true)
STRATEGY ADVANTAGES
1. Low Lag - ALMA provides faster signals than traditional moving averages
2. Smooth Signals - Minimal whipsaws compared to crossover strategies
3. Asset Agnostic - Same parameters work across different markets
4. Trend Capture - Stays positioned during entire bullish regimes
5. Risk Management - Multiple filters prevent poor entries
6. Visual Clarity - Easy to interpret regime and filter states
WHEN TO USE HERMES
BEST FOR:
• Trending markets (crypto bull runs, equity uptrends)
• Swing trading (hold days to weeks)
• Position trading (hold weeks to months)
• Clear trend identification
• Risk-managed exposure
NOT SUITABLE FOR:
• Ranging/sideways markets
• Scalping or day trading
• High-frequency trading
• Mean reversion strategies
RISK DISCLAIMER
This indicator is for educational purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always use proper position sizing and risk management. Test thoroughly on historical data before live trading.

HTF Fibonacci on intraday ChartThis indicator plots Higher Timeframe (HTF) Fibonacci retracement levels directly on your intraday chart, allowing you to visualize how the current price action reacts to key retracement zones derived from the higher timeframe trend.
Concept
Fibonacci retracement levels are powerful tools used to identify potential support and resistance zones within a price trend.
However, these levels are often calculated on a higher timeframe (like Daily or Weekly), while most traders execute entries on lower timeframes (like 15m, 30m, or 1H).
This indicator bridges that gap — it projects the higher timeframe’s Fibonacci levels onto your current intraday chart, helping you see where institutional reactions or swing pivots might occur in real time.
How It Works
Select the Higher Timeframe (HTF)
You can choose which higher timeframe the Fibonacci structure is derived from — default is Daily.
Define the Lookback Period
The script looks back over the chosen number of bars on the higher timeframe to find the highest high and lowest low — the base for Fibonacci calculations.
Plots Key Fibonacci Levels Automatically:
0% (Low)
23.6%
38.2%
50.0%
61.8%
78.6%
100% (High)
Dynamic Labels
Each Fibonacci level is labelled on the latest bar, updating in real time as new data forms on the higher timeframe.
Best Used For
Intraday traders who want to align lower-timeframe entries with higher-timeframe structure.
Swing traders confirming price reactions around major Fibonacci retracement zones.
Contextual analysis for pullback entries, breakout confirmations, or retests of key levels.
Recommended Settings
Higher Timeframe: Daily (for intraday analysis)
Lookback: 50 bars (adjust based on volatility)
Combine with MACD, RSI, CPR, or Pivots for confluence.
