GCM Centre Line Candle MarkerGCM Centre Line Candle Marker (GCM-CLCM) - Descriptive Notes
Indicator Overview:
The "GCM Centre Line Candle Marker" is a versatile TradingView overlay indicator designed to enhance chart analysis by drawing short horizontal lines at user-defined "centre" points of candles. These lines provide a quick visual reference to key price levels within each candle, such as midpoints, open, close, or typical prices. The indicator offers extensive customization for line appearance, positioning, and conditional display, including an option to highlight only bullish engulfing patterns.
Key Features:
1. Customizable Line Position:
o Users can choose from various methods to calculate the "centre" price for the line:
(High + Low) / 2 (Default)
(Open + Close) / 2
Close
Open
(Open + High + Low + Close) / 4 (HLCO/4)
(Open + High + Close) / 3 (Typical Price HLC/3 variation)
(Open + Close + Low) / 3 (Typical Price OCL/3 variation)
2. Line Appearance Customization:
o Visibility: Toggle lines on/off.
o Style: Solid, dotted, or dashed lines.
o Width: Adjustable line thickness (1 to 5).
o Length: Defines how many candles forward the line extends (1 to 10).
o Color: Lines are colored based on candle type (bullish/bearish), with user-selectable base colors.
o Dynamic Opacity: Line opacity is dynamically adjusted based on the candle's size relative to recent candles. Larger candles produce more opaque lines (up to the user-defined maximum opacity), while smaller candles result in more transparent lines. This helps significant candles stand out.
3. Price Labels:
o Show Labels: Option to display price labels at the end of each center line.
o Label Background Color: Customizable.
o Dynamic Text Color: Label text color can change based on the movement of the center price:
Green: Current center price is higher than the previous.
Red: Current center price is lower than the previous.
Gray: No change or first label.
o Static Text Color: Alternatively, a fixed color can be used for all labels.
4. Conditional Drawing - Bullish Engulfing Filter:
o Users can enable an option to Only Show Bullish Engulfing Candles. When active, center lines will only be drawn for candles that meet bullish engulfing criteria (current bull candle's body engulfs the previous bear candle's body).
5. Performance Management:
o Max Lines to Show: Limits the number of historical lines displayed on the chart to maintain clarity and performance. Older lines are automatically removed as new ones are drawn.
6. Alert Condition:
o Includes a built-in alert: Big Bullish Candle. This alert triggers when a bullish candle's range (high - low) is greater than the 20-period simple moving average (SMA) of candle ranges.
How It Works:
• For each new candle, the script calculates the "center" price based on the user's Line Position selection.
• If showLines is enabled and (if applicable) the bullish engulfing condition is met, a new line is drawn from the current candle's bar_index at the calculated _center price, extending lineLength candles forward.
• The line's color is determined by whether the candle is bullish (close > open) or bearish (close < open).
• Opacity is calculated dynamically: scaledOpacity = int((100 - maxUserOpacity) * (1 - dynamicFactor) + maxUserOpacity), where dynamicFactor is candleSize / maxSize (current candle size relative to the max size in the last 20 candles). This means maxUserOpacity is the least transparent the line will be (for the largest candles), and smaller candles will have lines approaching full transparency.
• Optional price labels are added at the end of these lines.
• The script manages an array of drawn lines, removing the oldest ones if the maxLines limit is exceeded.
Potential Use Cases:
• Visualizing Intra-Candle Levels: Quickly see midpoints or other key price points without manual drawing.
• Short-Term Reference Points: The extended lines can act as very short-term dynamic support/resistance or points of interest.
• Pattern Recognition: Highlight bullish engulfing patterns or simply emphasize candles based on their calculated center.
• Volatility Indication: The dynamic opacity can subtly indicate periods of larger or smaller candle ranges.
• Confirmation Tool: Use in conjunction with other indicators or trading strategies.
User Input Groups:
• Line Settings: Controls all aspects of the line's appearance and calculation.
• Label Settings: Manages the display and appearance of price labels.
• Other Settings: Contains options for line management and conditional filtering (like Bullish Engulfing).
This indicator provides a clean and customizable way to mark significant price levels within candles, aiding traders in their technical analysis.

Combined Support & Resistance IndicatorsPivot Points Calculation:
The script calculates the Pivot Point as the average of the high price (high), low price (low), and closing price (close) of the current bar.
The Pivot Point is plotted on the chart as a red line.
Support and Resistance Levels:
The Support Level is calculated as the lowest price over the last lookback bars.
The Resistance Level is calculated as the highest price over the last lookback bars.
These levels are displayed on the chart using horizontal lines: green for support and red for resistance.
Momentum Indicators:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): A momentum oscillator calculated based on the closing price over the last 14 bars. It is plotted as a yellow line.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): An indicator consisting of the MACD line (blue) and the signal line (orange). It is calculated based on the closing price.
Moving Averages:
SMA 20: A simple moving average over the last 20 bars. It is plotted as a green line.
SMA 50: A simple moving average over the last 50 bars. It is plotted as a red line.
Dynamic Levels Drawing:
Instead of using hline (which does not support dynamic values), the script uses line.new to draw dynamic support and resistance levels. These lines are updated on each bar.
Moving Average Convergence Divergence with Enhanced Cross Alerts
Overview of Features and Settings
- Customizable Parameters:
- Fast and Slow Periods: Users can set the duration for both the fast (default 12) and slow (default 26) moving averages.
- Source Selection: The indicator uses the closing price (close) by default, though this can be modified to any other data source.
- Signal Smoothing: The smoothing period for the signal line is adjustable (default 9), and you can choose whether to use SMA or EMA for both the oscillator and the signal line calculations.
Calculation Logic
1. Calculation of Moving Averages:
- The fast and slow moving averages are computed based on the chosen moving average type (SMA or EMA) over the specified periods.
- The MACD line is then determined as the difference between these two moving averages.
2. Signal Line and Histogram:
- Signal Line: Created by smoothing the MACD line, with the option to choose between SMA and EMA.
- Histogram: Represents the difference between the MACD line and the signal line, visually indicating the divergence between the two.
Detection of Cross Events
The script identifies two specific cross events with additional filtering conditions:
- Bullish Cross:
- The MACD line **crosses above** the signal line.
- The previous value of the histogram is negative, and both the MACD and the signal line are below zero.
- This condition suggests that a cross occurring in the negative territory might indicate a potential upward trend reversal.
- **Bearish Cross:**
- The MACD line **crosses below** the signal line.
- The previous value of the histogram is positive, and both the MACD and the signal line are above zero.
- This condition indicates that a cross in the positive territory may signal a potential downward trend reversal.
For each event, there are dedicated alert conditions defined that trigger notifications when the criteria are met.
Visualization
- Displayed Elements:
- Histogram: Rendered as a column chart with colors that change based on the rate of change. For instance, a rising positive histogram uses a stronger green, whereas a declining positive histogram uses a lighter shade.
- MACD and Signal Lines: Displayed as separate lines with distinct colors to differentiate them.
- Zero Line: A horizontal line is drawn to help visually pinpoint the zero level.
- Crossing Signals:
- Optional markers in the form of arrows appear on the chart:
- **Bullish Cross: A green, upward-pointing triangle at the bottom.
- **Bearish Cross: A red, downward-pointing triangle at the top.
Summary
This indicator not only incorporates the traditional MACD components but also offers the following additional benefits:
- **Enhanced Accuracy:** Extra conditions (such as checking the previous histogram value and the position of the lines relative to zero) improve the identification of significant cross events.
- **Customization:** Users can personalize the moving average types and periods, making the indicator adaptable to different trading strategies.
- **Visual Assistance:** The combination of histogram columns, lines, and markers helps quickly pinpoint potential trend reversals, thereby aiding trading decisions.
This comprehensive description is intended to clearly demonstrate to users how the indicator works, outlining its calculations, filtering conditions, and its role in identifying cross events within technical analysis.
RSI Multiple TimeFrame, Version 1.0RSI Multiple TimeFrame, Version 1.0
Overview
The RSI Multiple TimeFrame script is designed to enhance trading decisions by providing a comprehensive view of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) across multiple timeframes. This tool helps traders identify overbought and oversold conditions more accurately by analyzing RSI values on different intervals simultaneously. This is particularly useful for traders who employ multi-timeframe analysis to confirm signals and make more informed trading decisions.
Unique Feature of the new script (described in detail below)
Multi-Timeframe RSI Analysis
Customizable Timeframes
Visual Signal Indicators (dots)
Overbought and Oversold Layers with gradual Background Fill
Enhanced Trend Confirmation
Originality and Usefulness
This script combines the RSI indicator across three distinct timeframes into a single view, providing traders with a multi-dimensional perspective of market momentum. It also provides associated signals to better time dips and peaks. Unlike standard RSI indicators that focus on a single timeframe, this script allows users to observe RSI trends across short, medium, and long-term intervals, thereby improving the accuracy of entry and exit signals. This is particularly valuable for traders looking to align their short-term strategies with longer-term market trends.
Signal Description
The script also includes a unique signal feature that plots green and red dots on the chart to highlight potential buy and sell opportunities:
Green Dots : These appear when all three RSI values are under specific thresholds (RSI of the shortest timeframe < 30, the medium timeframe < 40, and the longest timeframe < 50) and the RSI of the shortest timeframe is showing an upward trend (current value is greater than the previous value, and the value two periods ago is greater than the previous value). This indicates a potential buying opportunity as the market may be shifting from an oversold condition.
Red Dots : These appear when all three RSI values are above specific thresholds (RSI of the shortest timeframe > 70, the medium timeframe > 60, and the longest timeframe > 50) and the RSI of the shortest timeframe is showing a downward trend (current value is less than the previous value, and the value two periods ago is less than the previous value). This indicates a potential selling opportunity as the market may be shifting from an overbought condition.
These signals help traders identify high-probability turning points in the market by ensuring that momentum is aligned across multiple timeframes.
Detailed Description
Input Variables
RSI Period (`len`) : The number of periods to calculate the RSI. Default is 14.
RSI Source (`src`) : The price source for RSI calculation, defaulting to the average of the high and low prices (`hl2`).
Timeframes (`tf1`, `tf2`, `tf3`) : The different timeframes for which the RSI is calculated, defaulting to 5 minutes, 1 hour, and 8 hours respectively.
Functionality
RSI Calculations : The script calculates the RSI for each of the three specified timeframes using the `request.security` function. This allows the RSI to be plotted for multiple intervals, providing a layered view of market momentum.
```pine
rsi_tf1 = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, tf1, ta.rsi(src, len))
rsi_tf2 = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, tf2, ta.rsi(src, len))
rsi_tf3 = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, tf3, ta.rsi(src, len))
```
Plotting : The RSI values for the three timeframes are plotted with different colors and line widths for clear visual distinction. This makes it easy to compare RSI values across different intervals.
```pine
p1 = plot(rsi_tf1, title="RSI 5m", color=color.rgb(200, 200, 255), linewidth=2)
p2 = plot(rsi_tf2, title="RSI 1h", color=color.rgb(125, 125, 255), linewidth=2)
p3 = plot(rsi_tf3, title="RSI 8h", color=color.rgb(0, 0, 255), linewidth=2)
```
Overbought and Oversold Levels : Horizontal lines are plotted at standard RSI levels (20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80) to visually identify overbought and oversold conditions. The areas between these levels are filled with varying shades of blue for better visualization.
```pine
h80 = hline(80, title="RSI threshold 80", color=color.gray, linestyle=hline.style_dotted, linewidth=1)
h70 = hline(70, title="RSI threshold 70", color=color.gray, linestyle=hline.style_dotted, linewidth=1)
...
fill(h70, h80, color=color.rgb(33, 150, 243, 95), title="Background")
```
Signal Plotting : The script adds green and red dots to indicate potential buy and sell signals, respectively. A green dot is plotted when all RSI values are under specific thresholds and the RSI of the shortest timeframe is rising. Conversely, a red dot is plotted when all RSI values are above specific thresholds and the RSI of the shortest timeframe is falling.
```pine
plotshape(series=(rsi_tf1 < 30 and rsi_tf2 < 40 and rsi_tf3 < 50 and (rsi_tf1 > rsi_tf1 ) and (rsi_tf1 > rsi_tf1 )) ? 1 : na, location=location.bottom, color=color.green, style=shape.circle, size=size.tiny)
plotshape(series=(rsi_tf1 > 70 and rsi_tf2 > 60 and rsi_tf3 > 50 and (rsi_tf1 < rsi_tf1 ) and (rsi_tf1 < rsi_tf1 )) ? 1 : na, location=location.top, color=color.red, style=shape.circle, size=size.tiny)
```
How to Use
Configuring Inputs : Adjust the RSI period and source as needed. Modify the timeframes to suit your trading strategy.
Interpreting the Indicator : Use the plotted RSI values to gauge momentum across different timeframes. Look for overbought conditions (RSI above 70, 60 and 50) and oversold conditions (RSI below 30, 40 and 50) across multiple intervals to confirm trade signals.
Signal Confirmation : Pay attention to the green and red dots that provide signals to better time dips and peaks. dots are printed when the lower timeframe (5mn by default) shows sign of reversal.
These signals are more reliable when confirmed across all three timeframes.
This script provides a nuanced view of RSI, helping traders make more informed decisions by considering multiple timeframes simultaneously. By combining short, medium, and long-term RSI values, traders can better align their strategies with overarching market trends, thus improving the precision of their trading actions.
COT | MERCORThis Pine Script is designed for use on the TradingView platform to visualize various Commitment of Traders (COT) data for trading analysis. The COT reports provide a breakdown of each Tuesday’s open interest in the futures markets, which is valuable for understanding market sentiment. This script specifically focuses on displaying the positions of commercial and noncommercial traders (large speculators), both in long and short positions, as well as their net positions. Here’s a breakdown of the script’s components and how to use it:
Script Components
Indicator Declaration: The script begins by declaring a custom indicator using indicator() function, naming it "COT | MERCOR", and setting a short title and precision.
Library Import: It imports a library TradingView/LibraryCOT/2 as cot, which is likely a mock representation for the purpose of this description, assuming a library that provides COT data functions.
User Inputs:
shortNegative: A boolean input that allows users to choose whether short positions are displayed as negative numbers.
invertColors: A boolean input for users to decide if they want to invert the default colors of the plot lines.
lineWidth: An integer input that lets users adjust the width of the plotted lines.
COT Data Requests: The script requests COT data for both commercial and noncommercial traders' long and short positions using cot.COTTickerid() function. This includes constructing identifiers for these data points based on the user's input and predefined criteria (like "Commercial Positions" or "Noncommercial Positions", and direction "Long" or "Short").
Data Plotting: The script plots the retrieved data points on the chart, using different colors and line styles to distinguish between commercial and noncommercial positions, as well as between long, short, and net positions. It includes options to adjust the appearance based on user inputs (like inverting colors or changing line width).
Zero Line: A horizontal line (hline) is plotted at zero to provide a baseline for comparison.
How to Use
Adding the Script to Your Chart:
On TradingView, open the Pine Editor.
Paste this script into the Pine Editor.
Save and add the script to your chart.
Customizing the Display:
You can toggle whether short positions are displayed as negative numbers through the "Show Shorts as Negative Numbers?" checkbox.
Use the "Invert Colors?" checkbox to swap the colors used for plotting the positions.
Adjust the "Line Width" option to change the thickness of the plotted lines according to your preference.
Analyzing the Data:
The plotted lines represent the long, short, and net positions of commercial and noncommercial traders.
Commercial positions are typically considered the positions of entities involved in the production, processing, or merchandising of a commodity, whereas noncommercial positions represent large speculators, such as hedge funds.
The net positions (long minus short) provide insight into the overall bullish or bearish sentiment among these trader categories.
By examining these positions, traders can gain insights into potential market moves based on the behaviors of key market participants.
This script is a powerful tool for traders who want to incorporate COT report data into their market analysis on TradingView. By visualizing the trading positions of significant market players, it aids in making informed trading decisions.
The Flash-Strategy (Momentum-RSI, EMA-crossover, ATR)The Flash-Strategy (Momentum-RSI, EMA-crossover, ATR)
Are you tired of manually analyzing charts and trying to find profitable trading opportunities? Look no further! Our algorithmic trading strategy, "Flash," is here to simplify your trading process and maximize your profits.
Flash is an advanced trading algorithm that combines three powerful indicators to generate highly selective and accurate trading signals. The Momentum-RSI, Super-Trend Analysis and EMA-Strategy indicators are used to identify the strength and direction of the underlying trend.
The Momentum-RSI signals the strength of the trend and only generates trading signals in confirmed upward or downward trends. The Super-Trend Analysis confirms the trend direction and generates signals when the price breaks through the super-trend line. The EMA-Strategy is used as a qualifier for the generation of trading signals, where buy signals are generated when the EMA crosses relevant trend lines.
Flash is highly selective, as it only generates trading signals when all three indicators align. This ensures that only the highest probability trades are taken, resulting in maximum profits.
Our trading strategy also comes with two profit management options. Option 1 uses the so-called supertrend-indicator which uses the dynamic ATR as a key input, while option 2 applies pre-defined, fixed SL and TP levels.
The settings for each indicator can be customized, allowing you to adjust the length, limit value, factor, and source value to suit your preferences. You can also set the time period in which you want to run the backtest and how many dollar trades you want to open in each position for fully automated trading.
Choose your preferred trade direction and stop-loss/take-profit settings, and let Flash do the rest. Say goodbye to manual chart analysis and hello to consistent profits with Flash. Try it now!
General Comments
This Flash Strategy has been developed in cooperation between Baby_whale_to_moon and JS-TechTrading. Cudos to Baby_whale_to_moon for doing a great job in transforming sophisticated trading ideas into pine scripts.
Detailed Description
The “Flash” script considers the following indicators for the generation of trading signals:
1. Momentum-RSI
2. ‘Super-Trend’-Analysis
3. EMA-Strategy
1. Momentum-RSI
• This indicator signals the strength of the underlying upward- or downward-trend.
• The signal range of this indicator is from 0 to 100. Values > 60 indicate a confirmed upward- or downward-trend.
• The strategy will only generate trading signals in case the stock (or any other financial security) is in a confirmed upward- (long entry signals) or downward-trend (short entry signals).
• This indicator provides information with regards to the strength of the underlying trend and it does not give any insight with regard to the direction of the trend. Therefore, this strategy also considers other indicators which provide technical confirmation with regards to the direction of the underlying trend.
Graph 1 shows this concept:
• The Momentum-RSI indicator gives lower readings during consolidation phases and no trading signals are generated during these periods.
Example (graph 2):
2. Super-Trend Analysis
• The red line in the graph below represents the so-called super-trend-line. Trading signals are only generated in case the price action breaks through this super-trend-line indicating a new confirmed upward-trend (or downward-trend, respectively).
• If that happens, the super trend-line changes its color from red to green, giving confirmation that the trend changed from bearish to bullish and long-entries can be considered.
• The vice-versa approach can be considered for short entries.
Graph 3 explains this concept:
3. Exponential Moving Average / EMA-Strategy
The functionality of this EMA-element of the strategy has been programmed as follows:
• The exponential moving average and two other trend lines are being used as qualifiers for the generation of trading-signals.
• Buy-signals for long-entries are only considered in case the EMA (yellow line in the graph below) crosses the red line.
• Sell-signals for short-entries are only considered in case the EMA (yellow line in the graph below) crosses the green line.
An example is shown in graph 4 below:
We use this indicator to determine the new trend direction that may occur by using the data of the price's past movement.
4. Bringing it all together
This section describes in detail, how this strategy combines the Momentum-RSI, the super-trend analysis and the EMA-strategy.
The strategy only generates trading-signals in case all of the following conditions and qualifiers are being met:
1. Momentum-RSI is higher than the set value of this strategy. The standard and recommended value is 60 (graph 5):
2. The super-trend analysis needs to indicate a confirmed upward-trend (for long-entry signals) or a confirmed downward-trend (for short-entry signals), respectively.
3. The EMA-strategy needs to indicate that the stock or financial security is in a confirmed upward-trend (long-entries) or downward-trend (short-entries), respectively.
The strategy will only generate trading signals if all three qualifiers are being met. This makes this strategy highly selective and is the key secret for its success.
Example for Long-Entry (graph 6):
When these conditions are met, our Long position is opened.
Example for Short-Entry (graph 7):
Trade Management Options (graph 8)
Option 1
In this dynamic version, the so-called supertrend-indicator is being used for the trade exit management. This supertrend-indicator is a sophisticated and optimized methodology which uses the dynamic ATR as one of its key input parameters.
The following settings of the supertrend-indicator can be changed and optimized (graph 9):
The dynamic SL/TP-lines of the supertrend-indicator are shown in the charts. The ATR-length and the supertrend-factor result in a multiplier value which can be used to fine-tune and optimize this strategy based on the financial security, timeframe and overall market environment.
Option 2 (graph 10):
Option 2 applies pre-defined, fixed SL and TP levels which will appear as straight horizontal lines in the chart.
Settings options (graph 11):
The following settings can be changed for the three elements of this strategy:
1. (Length Mom-Rsi): Length of our Mom-RSI indicator.
2. Mom-RSI Limit Val: the higher this number, the more momentum of the underlying trend is required before the strategy will start creating trading signals.
3. The length and factor values of the super trend indicator can be adjusted:ATR Length SuperTrend and Factor Super Trend
4. You can set the source value used by the ema trend indicator to determine the ema line: Source Ema Ind
5. You can set the EMA length and the percentage value to follow the price: Length Ema Ind and Percent Ema Ind
6. The backtesting period can be adjusted: Start and End time of BackTest
7. Dollar cost per position: this is relevant for 100% fully automated trading.
8. Trade direction can be adjusted: LONG, SHORT or BOTH
9. As we explained above, we can determine our stop-loss and take-profit levels dynamically or statically. (Version 1 or Version 2 )
Display options on the charts graph 12):
1. Show horizontal lines for the Stop-Loss and Take-profit levels on the charts.
2. Display relevant Trend Lines, including color setting options for the supertrend functionality. In the example below, green lines indicate a confirmed uptrend, red lines indicate a confirmed downtrend.
Other comments
• This indicator has been optimized to be applied for 1 hour-charts. However, the underlying principles of this strategy are supply and demand in the financial markets and the strategy can be applied to all timeframes. Daytraders can use the 1min- or 5min charts, swing-traders can use the daily charts.
• This strategy has been designed to identify the most promising, highest probability entries and trades for each stock or other financial security.
• The combination of the qualifiers results in a highly selective strategy which only considers the most promising swing-trading entries. As a result, you will normally only find a low number of trades for each stock or other financial security per year in case you apply this strategy for the daily charts. Shorter timeframes will result in a higher number of trades / year.
• Consequently, traders need to apply this strategy for a full watchlist rather than just one financial security.
Time Line Indicator - by LMTime Line Indicator – by LM
Description:
The Time Line Indicator is a simple, clean, and customizable tool designed to visualize specific time periods within each hour directly in a dedicated indicator pane. It allows traders to mark important intraday minute ranges across multiple past hours, providing a clear visual reference for time-based analysis. This indicator is perfect for identifying recurring hourly windows, session patterns, or custom time-based events in your charts.
Unlike traditional overlays, this indicator does not interfere with price candles and draws its lines in a separate pane at the bottom of your chart for clarity.
Key Features:
Custom Hourly Lines:
Draw horizontal lines for a specific minute range within each hour, e.g., from the 45th minute to the 15th minute of the next hour.
Multi-Hour Support:
Choose how many past hours to display. The indicator will replicate the line for each selected hourly period, following the same minute logic.
Automatic Start/End Logic:
If your chosen start minute is in the previous hour, the line correctly begins at that time.
The end minute can cross into the next hour when applicable.
If the selected end minute does not yet exist in the current chart data, the line will extend to the latest available bar.
Dedicated Indicator Pane:
Lines appear in a fixed, non-intrusive y-axis within the indicator pane (overlay=false), keeping your price chart clean.
Customizable Appearance:
Line Color: Choose any color to match your chart theme.
Line Thickness: Adjust the width of the lines for better visibility.
Inputs:
Input Name Type Default Description
Line Color Color Orange The color of the horizontal lines.
Line Thickness Integer 2 The thickness of each line (1–5).
Start Minute Integer 5 The minute within the hour where the line begins (0–59).
End Minute Integer 25 The minute within the hour where the line ends (0–59).
Hours Back Integer 3 Number of past hours to display lines for.
Use Cases:
Intraday Analysis: Quickly visualize recurring minute ranges across multiple hours.
Session Tracking: Mark critical time windows for trading sessions or market events.
Pattern Recognition: Easily identify time-based patterns or setups without cluttering the price chart.
How It Works:
The indicator calculates the nearest bars corresponding to your start and end minutes.
It draws horizontal lines at a fixed y-axis value within the indicator pane.
Lines are drawn for each selected past hour, replicating the chosen minute span.
All logic respects the actual chart data; lines never extend into the future beyond the most recent bar.
Notes:
Overlay is set to false, so lines appear in a dedicated pane below the price chart.
The indicator is fully compatible with any timeframe. Lines adjust automatically to match the chart’s bar spacing.
You can change the number of hours displayed at any time without affecting existing lines.
If you want, I can also draft a shorter “TradingView Store / Public Library description” version under 500 characters for the “Short Description” field — concise and punchy for users scrolling through indicators.
Gap ZonesThis TradingView indicator automatically detects daily price gaps and plots them clearly on any timeframe (intraday or daily).
It helps visualize where unfilled gaps are sitting, track whether they’ve been filled, and control how far the zone extends.
Key Features
1. Daily Gap Detection
• Works even when you’re on intraday charts (uses daily OHLC data).
• Marks both gap up (potential support zones) and gap down (potential resistance zones).
2. Shaded Gap Zones
• Each gap is highlighted as a band (greenish for up, reddish for down).
• Option to turn shading off if you just want horizontal lines.
3. Hide When Filled
• Once price closes or touches the far side of the gap, it disappears (configurable: Touch vs Close).
4. Lookback Window
• Gaps only show if they occurred within the past X trading days (default: 30).
• Prevents your chart from being cluttered with ancient gaps.
5. Multiple Gaps Tracked
• Can track up to 5 recent gaps simultaneously.
• Oldest gaps “roll off” as new ones form.
6. Finite Right-Edge Guides
• Optional horizontal guide lines extend to the right, but only for a fixed number of bars (default: 50).
• Cleaner than infinite extensions.
7. Gap-Day Marker
• Optional vertical line drawn on the bar where the gap first occurred.
⸻
⚙️ Inputs & Settings
When you apply the indicator, you’ll see these options:
• Lookback (trading days): How far back to scan for gaps (default 30).
• Max gaps to show (1..5): How many simultaneous gap zones to display.
• Min gap size (% of prior close): Filter out tiny gaps (default 0.25%).
• Hide gaps once filled: Removes a gap from the chart once filled.
• Fill rule uses CLOSE (off = Touch):
• Touch = filled when price trades through the level intraday.
• Close = filled only when a candle close crosses it.
• Show shading: Toggle zone fills on/off.
• Show vertical marker on gap day: Toggle gap-day marker line.
• Show finite right-edge lines: Toggle horizontal lines extending right.
• Right line length (bars): How far those lines extend (default 50 bars).
⸻
🟢 How to Use It
1. Apply on Any Chart
• Works best on daily or intraday (5m, 15m, 1h).
• Gaps are always calculated from daily data, so intraday charts will show higher-timeframe gaps correctly.
2. Interpret Colors
• Green shading = Gap Up (often acts as support).
• Red shading = Gap Down (often acts as resistance).
3. Watch for Fills
• When price re-enters the gap zone, the indicator checks if it’s “filled” (based on your Touch/Close setting).
• If “Hide When Filled” is on, the zone vanishes.
4. Trade Context
• Many traders use gaps as targets (expecting a fill) or levels of support/resistance.
• Combined with your bull put/bear call spread strategies, it helps confirm strong levels.
SMT Oscillator: Smarter Money Divergence Detector [PhenLabs]📊Phenlabs - SMT Oscillator: Smarter Money Divergence Detector
Version: PineScript™v6
📌Description
The SMT Oscillator is a sophisticated tool designed to identify smart money divergence between two correlated assets. By analyzing the momentum and volume-weighted price action of a primary and secondary symbol, traders can spot subtle shifts in market dynamics that often precede significant price movements. This indicator is built to provide a clearer, more filtered view of inter-market relationships, solving the common problem of false signals and market noise. Its primary purpose is to equip traders with a quantifiable edge in detecting potential reversals or continuations that are not obvious on a standard price chart.
🚀Points of Innovation
Dual-Symbol Divergence Core: Directly compares momentum (RSI or MACD) between two user-selected symbols to pinpoint true SMT divergence.
Volume-Weighted Analysis: Integrates volume delta into the divergence calculation, giving more weight to moves backed by significant market participation.
Entropy Filter for Noise Reduction: Employs an entropy calculation to filter out low-quality signals during choppy or consolidating market conditions.
Predictive Forecast Line: Utilizes a linear regression model to project the oscillator’s future trajectory, offering a forward-looking glimpse of potential momentum shifts.
Customizable Signal Sensitivity: Allows fine-tuning of overbought and oversold levels to adapt to different market volatilities and trading styles.
Integrated Signal Alerts: Provides built-in alerts for bullish/bearish zero crosses and overbought/oversold conditions.
🔧Core Components
Momentum Engine: The user can select either RSI or MACD as the underlying engine for the divergence calculation, allowing for flexibility in analysis.
Normalization Function: Price data from both symbols is normalized using percentage change to ensure a true “apples-to-apples” comparison, regardless of their nominal price differences.
Divergence Calculator: The core algorithm that subtracts the secondary symbol’s momentum from the primary’s and normalizes the result using the combined standard deviation.
Smoothing Mechanism: An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is applied to the raw oscillator output to reduce choppiness and provide a clearer signal line.
🔥Key Features
Multi-Asset Comparison: Go beyond single-asset analysis by comparing correlated pairs like ES/NQ or BTC/ETH to uncover hidden trading opportunities.
Heatmap Visualization: An optional heatmap mode provides an intuitive visual representation of divergence strength, making it easier to gauge market sentiment at a glance.
Configurable Lookback and Timeframe: Adjust the lookback period and analysis timeframe to suit your specific strategy, from short-term scalping to long-term trend analysis.
Signal Markers: Visual markers are plotted directly on the chart for bullish and bearish zero-line crossovers, providing clear entry and exit signals.
🎨Visualization
SMT Oscillator Line: The primary visual element, colored blue for bullish (positive) divergence and orange for bearish (negative) divergence.
Zero Line: A solid horizontal line at the zero level, indicating the equilibrium point between the two assets. Crossovers of this line signal a shift in relative strength.
Overbought/Oversold Zones: Dotted lines at the +80 and -80 levels (customizable) that highlight extreme divergence readings, often indicating potential exhaustion points.
Forecast Line: A predictive line that plots the anticipated path of the oscillator, giving traders an advanced warning of potential changes in momentum.
📖Usage Guidelines
Setting Categories
Primary Symbol
Default: (Chart Symbol)
Description: The main asset you are analyzing. Leave blank to use the symbol currently on your chart.
Secondary Symbol
Default: CME_MINI:ES1! (used with NASDAQ futures due to inherent heavy correlation
Description: The asset to compare against the primary symbol.
Lookback Period
Default: 14
Range: 8-100
Description: Controls the calculation window for momentum (RSI/MACD). Higher values result in a smoother, less sensitive oscillator.
Divergence Type
Default: RSI
Options: RSI, MACD
Description: Choose the momentum indicator to use for the divergence calculation.
Enable Volume Weighting
Default: true
Description: When enabled, gives more weight to divergence signals that are accompanied by significant volume.
✅Best Use Cases
Identifying high-probability reversal points by spotting divergence in overbought or oversold territory.
Confirming the strength of a trend by observing sustained positive or negative divergence.
Pairs trading by taking a long position on the outperforming asset and a short position on the underperforming one during a divergence.
Risk management by recognizing when a current trend is losing its underlying momentum.
⚠️Limitations
Requires Correlated Assets: The indicator’s effectiveness is highly dependent on the selection of two assets with a known correlation (e.g., ES and NQ).
Not a Standalone System: Divergence signals should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis (price action, market structure) and not as a complete trading system.
Lagging by Nature: As it is based on moving averages and past price data, the oscillator is inherently lagging and may not capture all rapid price changes.
💡What Makes This Unique
Combined Momentum & Volume: Unlike standard oscillators, it fuses momentum with volume delta for a more robust “Smart Money” perspective.
Noise-Filtering Mechanism: The proprietary entropy filter is a unique feature designed to weed out insignificant market chatter and focus on high-conviction signals.
🔬How It Works
Data Normalization:
The script first normalizes the price data of the two selected symbols into percentage changes. This ensures that the comparison is fair, regardless of the difference in their price scales.
Momentum Calculation:
It then calculates the chosen momentum value (either RSI or MACD histogram) for each of the normalized price series.
Divergence Computation:
The core of the indicator lies in subtracting the momentum of the secondary symbol from the primary one. This raw divergence is then optionally weighted by volume and filtered for market noise (entropy) to produce the final oscillator value.
💡Note:
For best results, use this indicator on adequate timeframes to filter out market noise. Always confirm signals with price action analysis before entering a trade.

EBL - Enigma BOS LogicThe EBL - Enigma BOS Logic indicator is designed to detect key trend reversal points with precision by leveraging a unique concept based on two-candle price action analysis. Inspired by the balance of pairs in creation, this indicator identifies trend changes by focusing on significant bullish and bearish candle pairs, storing key levels, and waiting for confirmation to provide actionable trade signals. It goes beyond conventional trend-following indicators by offering real-time alerts and clear visual cues for traders.
How It Works
Bullish Setup:
The indicator identifies a bullish candle followed by a bearish candle. It then stores the high of the bullish candle as a potential reversal level.
A bullish confirmation occurs when a future bullish candle closes above the stored high. When this happens:
A green arrow is plotted below the confirming candle.
A horizontal green line is drawn at the stored high level, extending forward by a user-defined number of bars.
An alert is triggered to notify the trader of a confirmed bullish trend.
Bearish Setup:
The indicator identifies a bearish candle followed by a bullish candle. It stores the low of the bearish candle as a potential reversal level.
A bearish confirmation occurs when a future bearish candle closes below the stored low. When this happens:
A red arrow is plotted above the confirming candle.
A horizontal red line is drawn at the stored low level, extending forward by a user-defined number of bars.
An alert is triggered to notify the trader of a confirmed bearish trend.
Touch or Cross Alerts:
In addition to initial trend confirmation, the indicator tracks price movements relative to the drawn horizontal lines.
If the price returns to touch or cross a previously drawn horizontal line, an alert is triggered, indicating a potential re-entry or retracement opportunity.
Customization Options
To make the indicator versatile and adaptable for different trading styles, several customization options are provided:
Line Colors: Traders can customize the colors of the bullish and bearish lines.
Show/Hide Arrows and Lines: Users can choose whether to display the arrows and horizontal lines on the chart.
Line Length: The length of the horizontal lines (number of bars they extend into the future) is user-defined, offering flexibility based on trading timeframes and preferences.
Use Cases
Trend Reversal Detection: EBL is ideal for identifying key trend reversals, allowing traders to enter trades with a high probability of success.
Breakout Confirmation: The indicator provides visual and alert-based confirmation of breakouts beyond critical support or resistance levels.
Re-entry Opportunities: With alerts for price touching or crossing horizontal lines, traders can spot potential re-entry points during retracements.
Conceptual Foundation
The methodology behind this indicator is rooted in the principle that markets often move in pairs of bullish and bearish forces. By tracking the interaction between consecutive bullish and bearish candles and waiting for clear confirmations, this indicator ensures that only high-probability trend changes are signaled. This reduces noise and enhances trading accuracy, making it suitable for scalping, day trading, and swing trading across various timeframes.
How to Use
Apply the indicator to any chart and timeframe of your choice.
Set your preferred customization options, including line colors, arrow display, and line length.
Watch for arrows and listen for alerts to identify confirmed trend changes.
Pay attention to touch or cross alerts on horizontal lines, as these can signal potential re-entry or secondary trade opportunities.
Combine with other analysis: While EBL is powerful on its own, combining it with support/resistance analysis, moving averages, or volume indicators can further enhance its effectiveness.
This indicator is a powerful tool for traders seeking precision in identifying trend changes and actionable trade signals. Its unique logic, real-time alerts, and clear visual cues make it a valuable addition to any trader’s toolkit.

Globex time (New York Time)This indicator is designed to highlight and analyze price movements within the Globex session. Primarily geared toward the Globex Trap trading strategy, this tool visually identifies the session's high and low prices, allowing traders to better assess price action during extended hours. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of its features and functionality:
Purpose
The "Globex Time (New York Time)" indicator tracks price levels during the Globex trading session, providing a clear view of overnight market activity. This session, typically running from 6 p.m. ET (18:00) until the following morning at 8:30 a.m. ET, is a critical period where significant market positioning can occur before the regular session opens. In the Globex Trap strategy, the session high and low are essential levels, as price movements around these areas often indicate potential support, resistance, or reversal zones, which traders use to set up entries or exits when the regular trading session begins.
Key Features
Customizable Session Start and End Times
The indicator allows users to specify the exact start and end times of the Globex session in New York time. The default settings are:
Start: 6 p.m. ET (18:00)
End: 8:30 a.m. ET
These settings can be adjusted to align with specific market hours or personal preferences.
Session High and Low Identification
Throughout the defined session, the indicator dynamically calculates and tracks:
Session High: The highest price reached within the session.
Session Low: The lowest price reached within the session.
These levels are essential for the Globex Trap strategy, as price action around them can indicate likely breakout or reversal points when regular trading resumes.
Vertical Lines for Session Start and End
The indicator draws vertical lines at both the session start and end times:
Session Start Line: A solid line marking the exact beginning of the Globex session.
Session End Line: A similar vertical line marking the session’s conclusion.
Both lines are customizable in terms of color and thickness, making it easy to distinguish the session boundaries visually on the chart.
Horizontal Lines for Session High and Low
At the end of the session, the indicator plots horizontal lines representing the Globex session's high and low levels. Users can customize these lines:
Color: Define specific colors for the session high (default: red) and session low (default: green) to easily differentiate them.
Line Style: Options to set the line style (solid, dashed, or dotted) provide flexibility for visual preferences and chart organization.
Automatic Reset for Daily Tracking
To adapt to the next trading day, the indicator resets the session high and low data once the current session ends. This reset prepares it to start tracking new levels at the beginning of the next session without manual intervention.
Practical Application in the Globex Trap Strategy
In the Globex Trap strategy, traders are primarily interested in price behavior around the high and low levels established during the overnight session. Common applications of this indicator for this strategy include:
Breakout Trades: Watching for price to break above the Globex high or below the Globex low, indicating potential momentum in the breakout direction.
Reversal Trades: Monitoring for failed breakouts or traps where price tests and rejects the Globex high or low, suggesting a reversal as liquidity is trapped in these zones.
Support and Resistance Zones: Using the session high and low as key support and resistance levels during the regular trading session, with potential entry or exit points when price approaches these areas.
Additional Configuration Options
Vertical Line Color and Width: Define the color and thickness of the vertical session start and end lines to match your chart’s theme.
Upper and Lower Line Colors and Styles: Customize the appearance of the session high and low horizontal lines by setting color and line style (solid, dashed, or dotted), making it easy to distinguish these critical levels from other chart markings.
Summary
This indicator is a valuable tool for traders implementing the Globex Trap strategy. It visually segments the Globex session and marks essential price levels, helping traders analyze market behavior overnight. Through its customizable options and clear visual representation, it simplifies tracking overnight price activity and identifying strategic levels for potential trade setups during the regular session.
Cubic Bezier Curve RSI [CBCR]Overview :
Introducing the Cubic Bézier Curve RSI – an innovative approach to smoothing the traditional RSI using cubic Bézier curves. This indicator provides traders with a smoother, adaptive version of the RSI that can help filter out noise and better highlight market trends.
Key Features:
Bézier Curve : the script uses cubic Bézier curves to create a smoothed version of the RSI, offering a more visually appealing and potentially more insightful representation of market momentum.
Customizable Settings: Users can adjust the Bézier Curve Length, Impact Factor, and color modes, allowing full customization of the smoothing effect and visualization.
Color-coded Trend Indicator: The smoothed RSI is displayed with colors that indicate potential bullish or bearish trends, helping traders quickly assess market conditions.
Overbought/Oversold Lines: Option to display overbought and oversold levels for better identification of market extremes.
Parameters:
RSI Length: Set the length for the traditional RSI calculation (default is 14).
Bézier Curve Length: Adjust the length of the Bézier curve used to smooth the RSI (default is 20).
Impact Factor: Control the influence of the Bézier smoothed values versus the original RSI values (default is 0.5, ranging from 0.0 to 1.0).
Overbought/Oversold Lines: Option to show overbought (default: 70) and oversold (default: 30) lines for easier identification of extreme conditions.
Color Mode: Choose between "Trend Following" and "Overbought/Oversold" modes for line color indication.
Display Settings: Color customization for bullish and bearish phases allows better visual differentiation.
How It Works:
The CBCR uses four control points derived from historical RSI values over a user-defined length. It then applies the cubic Bezier formula to generate a sequence of points representing a smoothed version of the RSI over this range.
The Bezier curve is recalculated each time a specific number of bars (as defined by the Bezier Curve Length) have passed, helping reduce noise while retaining key trend information.
The result is a smoothed RSI that combines the adaptability of cubic Bezier curves with the familiar oscillation of the RSI, making it potentially more robust for identifying shifts in market sentiment.
Visuals:
Smoothed RSI Line: Plotted on the indicator pane, the line changes color depending on the chosen color mode:
Trend Following Mode: Color changes based on whether the smoothed RSI is above or below the 50-level.
Overbought/Oversold Mode: Color changes based on whether the smoothed RSI is above the overbought level or below the oversold level.
Bullish Color: Configurable (default: cyan).
Bearish Color: Configurable (default: red).
Overbought/Oversold Lines: Horizontal lines at user-defined levels (default: 70 for overbought, 30 for oversold) for easy identification of market extremes.
Usage:
The CBCR can be used like a traditional RSI but with a smoother output that may help traders avoid false signals generated by sudden price spikes. For instance:
Look for crossovers around the 50 level as a signal for changing momentum.
Use the overbought and oversold levels to identify potential reversal zones.
Observe the color change of the line for an immediate visual cue on current sentiment.

These patterns can provide valuable indications of a possible trend reversal, and the indicator underlines them through the use of colored rectangles and horizontal lines. To fully understand the functioning and use of this indicator, let's explore its key elements and associated strategies.
Identification of Engulfing Patterns:
The indicator focuses on detecting two types of Engulfing candles:
Bullish Engulfing: Occurs when a bullish candle (open lower than close) completely encloses the body of the previous bearish candle. This could indicate a possible upside reversal.
Bearish Engulfing: Occurs when a bearish candle (opening higher than closing) entirely engulfs the body of the previous bullish candle. This could signal a potential bearish reversal.
Using the EMA 200:
The indicator uses the 200-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) as a reference to determine the position of the candles with respect to the long-term trend. When the price is above the 200 EMA, the bullish Engulfing candles are highlighted with a green box, while below the 200 EMA, red boxes are shown for the bearish Engulfing candles.
Size of Boxes and Lines:
The colored boxes represent the size of the body of the candle that caused the Engulfing. Additionally, a horizontal line is drawn close to the body of the candle, serving as the fulcrum of the indicator.
Trading Strategies:
This indicator can be used for different trading strategies:
Trend Continuation: During a positive trend, the onset of an engulfing pattern suggests a possible continuation of the trend. The horizontal lines represent potential support areas, where the price could bounce. Traders might consider buying during such bounces.
Retracements and Entries: Lines can act as support or resistance zones, depending on the trend. When the price approaches a line, a retracement could occur. Traders might move to a lower timeframe to spot entry signals, using the line as a reference.
Closing Positions: Lines could also be used to define exit levels. For example, a trader might decide to exit a position when the price approaches a resistance line.
Confirmations with Other Indicators: The indicator could be used in conjunction with other technical tools, such as oscillators or candlestick analysis, to confirm signals and improve the accuracy of trading decisions.
Stochastic Momentum Channel with Volume Filter [IkkeOmar]A stochastic version of my momentum channel volume filter
The "Stochastic Momentum" indicator combines the concepts of Stochastic and Bollinger Bands to provide insights into price momentum and potential trend reversals. It can be used to identify overbought and oversold conditions, as well as potential bullish and bearish signals.
The indicator calculates a Stochastic RSI using the RSI (Relative Strength Index) of a given price source. It applies smoothing to the Stochastic RSI values using moving averages to generate two lines: the %K line and the %D line. The %K line represents the current momentum, while the %D line represents a filtered version of the momentum.
Additionally, the indicator plots Bollinger Bands around the moving average of the Stochastic RSI. The upper and lower bands represent levels where the price is considered relatively high or low compared to its recent volatility. The distance between the bands reflects the current market volatility.
Here's how the indicator can be interpreted:
Stochastic Momentum (%K and %D lines):
When the %K line crosses above the %D line, it suggests a potential upward move or bullish momentum.
When the %K line crosses below the %D line, it indicates a potential downward move or bearish momentum.
The color of the plot changes based on the relationship between the %K and %D lines. Green indicates %K > %D, while red indicates %K < %D.
Bollinger Bands (Upper and Lower Bands):
When the price crosses above the upper band, it suggests an overbought condition, indicating a potential reversal or pullback.
When the price crosses below the lower band, it suggests an oversold condition, indicating a potential reversal or bounce.
To identify potential upward moves, consider the following conditions:
If the price is not in a contraction phase (the bands are not narrowing), and the price crosses above the lower band, it may signal a potential upward move or bounce.
If the %K line crosses above the %D line while the %K line is below the upper band, it may indicate a potential upward move.
To identify potential downward moves, consider the following conditions:
If the price is not in a contraction phase (the bands are not narrowing), and the price crosses below the upper band, it may signal a potential downward move or pullback.
If the %K line crosses below the %D line while the %K line is above the lower band, it may indicate a potential downward move.
Code explanation
Input Variables:
The input function is used to create customizable input variables that can be adjusted by the user.
smoothK and smoothD are inputs for the smoothing periods of the %K and %D lines, respectively.
lengthRSI represents the length of the RSI calculation.
lengthStoch is the length parameter for the stochastic calculation.
volumeFilterLength determines the length of the volume filter used to filter the RSI.
Source Definition:
The src variable is an input that defines the price source used for the calculations.
By default, the close price is used, but the user can choose a different price source.
RSI Calculation:
The rsi1 variable calculates the RSI using the ta.rsi function.
The RSI is a popular oscillator that measures the strength and speed of price movements.
It is calculated based on the average gain and average loss over a specified period.
In this case, the RSI is calculated using the src price source and the lengthRSI parameter.
Volume Filter:
The code calculates a volume filter to filter the RSI values based on the average volume.
The volumeAvg variable calculates the simple moving average of the volume over a specified period (volumeFilterLength).
The filteredRsi variable stores the RSI values that meet the condition of having a volume greater than or equal to the average volume (volume >= volumeAvg).
Stochastic Calculation:
The k variable calculates the %K line of the Stochastic RSI using the ta.stoch function.
The ta.stoch function takes the filtered RSI values (filteredRsi) as inputs and calculates the %K line based on the length parameter (lengthStoch).
The smoothK parameter is used to smooth the %K line by applying a moving average.
The d variable represents the %D line, which is a smoothed version of the %K line obtained by applying another moving average with a period defined by smoothD.
Momentum Calculation:
The kd variable calculates the average of the %K and %D lines, representing the momentum of the Stochastic RSI.
Bollinger Bands Calculation:
The ma variable calculates the moving average of the momentum values (kd) using the ta.sma function with a period defined by bandLength.
The offs variable calculates the offset by multiplying the standard deviation of the momentum values with a factor of 1.6185.
The up and dn variables represent the upper and lower bands, respectively, by adding and subtracting the offset from the moving average.
The Bollinger Bands provide a measure of volatility and can indicate potential overbought and oversold conditions.
Color Assignments:
The colors for the plot and Bollinger Bands are assigned based on certain conditions.
If the %K line is greater than the %D line, the plotCol variable is set to green. Otherwise, it is set to red.
The upCol and dnCol variables are set to different colors based on whether the fast moving average (fastMA) is above or below the upper and lower bands, respectively.
Plotting:
The Stochastic Momentum (%K) is plotted using the plot function with the assigned color (plotCol).
The upper and lower Bollinger Bands are plotted using the plot function with the respective colors (upCol and dnCol).
The fast moving average (fastMA) is plotted in black color to distinguish it from the bands.
The hline function is used to plot horizontal lines representing the upper and lower bands of the Stochastic Momentum.
The code combines the Stochastic RSI, Bollinger Bands, and color logic to provide visual representations of momentum and potential trend reversals. It allows traders to observe the interaction between the Stochastic Momentum lines, the Bollinger Bands, and price movements, enabling them to make informed trading decisions.

TFRSI & RSI Analog Dial [CHE] TFRSI & RSI Analog Dial — Interactive analog visualization for TFRSI or RSI with gradient zones, radial markers, and a trailing hand pointer.
Summary
This indicator renders an interactive analog dial for either TFRSI or standard RSI, providing a visual gauge with gradient-filled zones for oversold, neutral, and overbought regions. The hand pointer tracks the current value, with optional trailing dots at recent positions to show momentum direction. Radial lines mark key thresholds, and a digital readout displays the exact value. This design enhances readability over linear plots by leveraging familiar clock-like intuition, reducing cognitive load during quick scans. Signals are robust due to clamping to safe bounds and mode-specific scaling, ensuring consistent display across different volatility regimes.
Motivation: Why this design?
Traditional linear RSI or momentum indicators often feel abstract, especially in fast-paced screening where users scan multiple assets. Sharp swings can make thresholds hard to gauge at a glance, leading to missed nuances in overbought or oversold conditions. This dial addresses that by mapping values to a curved scale with color gradients, making extremes visually pop while the hand's trail hints at recent path without cluttering the chart. The dual-mode support allows seamless switching between advanced momentum (TFRSI) and classic RSI, fitting diverse strategies without reloading scripts.
What’s different vs. standard approaches?
- Baseline reference: Diverges from linear plotlines like the built-in RSI oscillator, which stacks values vertically and relies on horizontal lines for thresholds.
- Architecture differences:
- Curved projection with perspective tilt for depth illusion, using polyline arcs instead of straight plots.
- Mode-aware clamping and scaling to handle TFRSI's extended range versus RSI's standard bounds.
- Persistent trail array for hand history, capped at three points to avoid performance drag.
- Gradient segmentation for smooth zone transitions, rendered via multiple thin polylines.
- Practical effect: Charts show a compact, rotatable dial that fits in pane corners, with colors intuitively signaling bias (lime for buy zones, red for sell). The trail adds qualitative flow without numerical overload, helping spot divergences faster than static bars.
How it works (technical)
The indicator first computes the selected metric: for TFRSI, it processes price accelerations through a multi-step filter involving differencing, exponential damping, and normalization to a centered scale; for RSI, it uses the standard gain-loss ratio over the specified period. The value is then clamped between mode-specific minimum and maximum bounds to prevent display overflow.
This clamped value drives the hand angle on a 300-degree arc, projected from a 3D-like model rotated for perspective. Arcs for zones are built as segmented polylines, with colors interpolated linearly across the gradient. Key levels are drawn as radial lines from inner to outer radius, colored by zone. The trail maintains up to three prior angles in an array, updated only on confirmed bars to avoid repainting, and rendered as sized dots fading from small to large.
Initialization seeds filter states to zero on first bar, with persistent variables holding smoothing history. Data flows from price to metric computation, clamping, angle mapping, and projection—all executed globally on the last bar for redraw efficiency.
Parameter Guide
Mode — Switches between TFRSI (extended momentum gauge) and RSI (classic oscillator); affects bounds, zones, and labels. Default: "TFRSI". Trade-offs: TFRSI adds sensitivity to accelerations but may amplify noise; RSI is more stable for trend confirmation.
Dial Size — Sets radius in pixels, scaling all elements proportionally. Default: 200. Bounds: 50–500. Tips: Larger for detailed views, smaller for multi-pane layouts; auto-scales hand length to match.
Dial Vertical Offset — Shifts entire dial up/down in pixels. Default: 0. Bounds: -200–200. Trade-offs: Negative pulls toward price action; positive spaces below—use to avoid overlap.
Camera Angle — Tilts view from top-down (0) to side (90) for 3D effect. Default: 45. Bounds: 0–90. Tips: Steeper angles emphasize depth but compress horizontally; flat for precision.
Resolution — Polygon sides for smooth arcs. Default: 64. Bounds: 4–64. Trade-offs: Higher reduces jaggedness but increases draw calls—balance with pane zoom.
TFRSI Hand Length — Base pointer length at 200px dial, auto-scaled. Default: 170. Bounds: 10–200. Tips: Longer for emphasis in large dials; shorter avoids edge clipping.
Show TFRSI Hand — Toggles pointer visibility. Default: true. Trade-offs: Off for clean zones only; on for value tracking.
Show Hand Trail Dots — Displays 3 fading dots at recent tips. Default: true. Trade-offs: Adds motion context but may clutter static views—disable in alerts.
TFRSI Hand Color — Pointer hue, used for trail dots too. Default: 7E57C2. Tips: Match strategy theme; gradients auto-blend to zones.
Dial Base Color — Arc outline/fill tint. Default: blue. Trade-offs: Opaque for contrast; transparent blends with background.
Neutral Color (50) — Mid-zone shade. Default: gray. Tips: Neutral tones reduce bias in balanced markets.
Oversold Color — Low-zone fill. Default: lime. Trade-offs: Bright for alerts; muted for subtlety.
Overbought Color — High-zone fill. Default: red. Trade-offs: As above—pair with hand blending.
Label Size — Text scaling for thresholds. Default: "normal". Options: tiny/small/normal/large/huge. Tips: Smaller for dense charts; larger for presentations.
Digital TFRSI Size — Readout font. Default: "large". Options: as above. Trade-offs: Balances visibility without dominating dial.
Digital Vertical Offset — Readout position shift. Default: -50. Bounds: -200–200. Tips: Negative centers above dial; adjust for multi-indicators.
TFRSI Length — Core lookback for accelerations. Default: 6. Min: 1. Trade-offs: Shorter heightens reactivity, risks whipsaws; longer smooths extremes.
TFRSI Trigger Length — Final smoothing passes. Default: 2. Min: 1. Tips: Increase for fewer false crosses; decrease for quicker pivots.
RSI Length — Period for gain-loss averaging. Default: 14. Min: 1. Trade-offs: Classic 14 balances; shorter for scalps, longer for swings.
Reading & Interpretation
The dial arcs sweep from overbought (right, red) through neutral (top, gray) to oversold (left, lime), with the hand pointing to the current value—clockwise for rising, counterclockwise for falling. Trail dots grow larger toward the present, colored to match hand zones, indicating recent direction without numbers. Threshold lines thicken at center (50) for quick zeroing; labels confirm levels. Digital readout below shows precise value prefixed by mode. Hand color gradients from neutral to extremes signal building pressure verbally: deepening red warns of potential pullbacks, brightening lime suggests bounces.
Practical Workflows & Combinations
Trend following: Enter long when hand crosses above 50 from oversold trail; confirm with higher highs in price structure. Filter shorts below 50 in downtrends using volume spikes.
Exits/Stops: Trail stops to recent dot positions in overbought; tighten on red gradients exceeding thresholds. Conservative: Exit at neutral; aggressive: Hold to extremes if trail aligns with momentum.
Multi-asset/Multi-TF: Defaults suit forex/stocks on 1H–4H; for crypto, shorten lengths by 20% for volatility. Stack with HTF security calls (e.g., daily mode on 15m chart) for confluence—watch for alignment across dials.
Behavior, Constraints & Performance
Closed-bar updates ensure no repainting; live bars show provisional hand/trail, confirmed on close. No security or HTF calls, so zero lookahead bias. Resources: Caps at 500 lines/labels/polylines, rebuilds only on last bar; max_bars_back=2000 handles history without lag. Known limits: Trail may stutter in flat markets; gradients approximate smooth fills via segments, visible at low resolution.
Sensible Defaults & Quick Tuning
Start with TFRSI mode, length=6, trigger=2 for responsive momentum on daily charts. Too choppy? Bump trigger to 4 for stability. Lagging entries? Drop length to 4, watch for overreactions. For RSI trend filter, set length=21; combine with MA cross for entries when dial nears 30/70.
What this indicator is—and isn’t
This is a visualization layer for momentum gauges, aiding quick bias assessment and threshold spotting. Pair it with price action, volume, and risk rules for decisions. It’s not a standalone signal generator or predictive tool—values reflect past data, prone to whipsaws in ranging conditions.

Options Max Pain Calculator [BackQuant]Options Max Pain Calculator
A visualization tool that models option expiry dynamics by calculating "max pain" levels, displaying synthetic open interest curves, gamma exposure profiles, and pin-risk zones to help identify where market makers have the least payout exposure.
What is Max Pain?
Max Pain is the theoretical expiration price where the total dollar value of outstanding options would be minimized. At this price level, option holders collectively experience maximum losses while option writers (typically market makers) have minimal payout obligations. This creates a natural gravitational pull as expiration approaches.
Core Features
Visual Analysis Components:
Max Pain Line: Horizontal line showing the calculated minimum pain level
Strike Level Grid: Major support and resistance levels at key option strikes
Pin Zone: Highlighted area around max pain where price may gravitate
Pain Heatmap: Color-coded visualization showing pain distribution across prices
Gamma Exposure Profile: Bar chart displaying net gamma at each strike level
Real-time Dashboard: Summary statistics and risk metrics
Synthetic Market Modeling**
Since Pine Script cannot access live options data, the indicator creates realistic synthetic open interest distributions based on configurable market parameters including volume patterns, put/call ratios, and market maker positioning.
How It Works
Strike Generation:
The tool creates a grid of option strikes centered around the current price. You can control the range, density, and whether strikes snap to realistic market increments.
Open Interest Modeling:
Using your inputs for average volume, put/call ratios, and market maker behavior, the indicator generates synthetic open interest that mirrors real market dynamics:
Higher volume at-the-money with decay as strikes move further out
Adjustable put/call bias to reflect current market sentiment
Market maker inventory effects and typical short-gamma positioning
Weekly options boost for near-term expirations
Pain Calculation:
For each potential expiry price, the tool calculates total option payouts:
Call options contribute pain when finishing in-the-money
Put options contribute pain when finishing in-the-money
The strike with minimum total pain becomes the Max Pain level
Gamma Analysis:
Net gamma exposure is calculated at each strike using standard option pricing models, showing where hedging flows may be most intense. Positive gamma creates price support while negative gamma can amplify moves.
Key Settings
Basic Configuration:
Number of Strikes: Controls grid density (recommended: 15-25)
Days to Expiration: Time until option expiry
Strike Range: Price range around current level (recommended: 8-15%)
Strike Increment: Spacing between strikes
Market Parameters:
Average Daily Volume: Baseline for synthetic open interest
Put/Call Volume Ratio: Market sentiment bias (>1.0 = bearish, <1.0 = bullish) It does not work if set to 1.0
Implied Volatility: Current option volatility estimate
Market Maker Factors: Dealer positioning and hedging intensity
Display Options:
Model Complexity: Simple (line only), Standard (+ zones), Advanced (+ heatmap/gamma)
Visual Elements: Toggle individual components on/off
Theme: Dark/Light mode
Update Frequency: Real-time or daily calculation
Reading the Display
Dashboard Table (Top Right):
Current Price vs Max Pain Level
Distance to Pain: Percentage gap (smaller = higher pin risk)
Pin Risk Assessment: HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW based on proximity and time
Days to Expiry and Strike Count
Model complexity level
Visual Elements:
Red Line: Max Pain level where payout is minimized
Colored Zone: Pin risk area around max pain
Dotted Lines: Major strike levels (green = support, orange = resistance)
Color Bar: Pain heatmap (blue = high pain, red = low pain/max pain zones)
Horizontal Bars: Gamma exposure (green = positive, red = negative)
Yellow Dotted Line: Gamma flip level where hedging behavior changes
Trading Applications
Expiration Pinning:
When price is near max pain with limited time remaining, there's increased probability of gravitating toward that level as market makers hedge their positions.
Support and Resistance:
High open interest strikes often act as magnets, with max pain representing the strongest gravitational pull.
Volatility Expectations:
Above gamma flip: Expect dampened volatility (long gamma environment)
Below gamma flip: Expect amplified moves (short gamma environment)
Risk Assessment:
The pin risk indicator helps gauge likelihood of price manipulation near expiry, with HIGH risk suggesting potential range-bound action.
Best Practices
Setup Recommendations
Start with Model Complexity set to "Standard"
Use realistic strike ranges (8-12% for most assets)
Set put/call ratio based on current market sentiment
Adjust implied volatility to match current levels
Interpretation Guidelines:
Small distance to pain + short time = high pin probability
Large gamma bars indicate key hedging levels to monitor
Heatmap intensity shows strength of pain concentration
Multiple nearby strikes can create wider pin zones
Update Strategy:
Use "Daily" updates for cleaner visuals during trading hours
Switch to "Every Bar" for real-time analysis near expiration
Monitor changes in max pain level as new options activity emerges
Important Disclaimers
This is a modeling tool using synthetic data, not live market information. While the calculations are mathematically sound and the modeling realistic, actual market dynamics involve numerous factors not captured in any single indicator.
Max pain represents theoretical minimum payout levels and suggests where natural market forces may create gravitational pull, but it does not guarantee price movement or predict exact expiration levels. Market gaps, news events, and changing volatility can override these dynamics.
Use this tool as additional context for your analysis, not as a standalone trading signal. The synthetic nature of the data makes it most valuable for understanding market structure and potential zones of interest rather than precise price prediction.
Technical Notes
The indicator uses established option pricing principles with simplified implementations optimized for Pine Script performance. Gamma calculations use standard financial models while pain calculations follow the industry-standard definition of minimized option payouts.
All visual elements use fixed positioning to prevent movement when scrolling charts, and the tool includes performance optimizations to handle real-time calculation without timeout errors.
