Advanced CRSI with Buy/Sell SignalsThis is a custom indicator based on the Connor's RSI (CRSI) concept. It's designed to identify overbought and oversold conditions to generate potential buy and sell signals.
How it works: The indicator is a composite of three components:
RSI of Price: A standard RSI calculation on the closing price.
RSI of Up/Down Streaks: An RSI on consecutive up or down closes, which helps measure momentum.
Percentage Rank of ROC: This component measures the rate of change and is used to identify strong moves.
Features:
Plots the combined CRSI value.
Visualizes buy and sell signals directly on the chart using colored triangles.
Includes adjustable oversold and overbought levels for customization.
Provides alerts for potential trading signals.
Ideal for: Swing traders and day traders looking for an oscillator to confirm entry and exit points.
Weekly Session BreakThis indicator plots a vertical line at the end of the trading week (Friday) to mark the weekly session break. It is designed to be used on intraday charts (sub-1 hour timeframes).
The line's appearance is fully customizable via the Inputs tab, allowing you to change its color, style (solid, dotted, or dashed), and thickness.
Key Features:
End-of-Week Marker: Accurately draws a vertical line on the last bar of the trading week.
Timeframe Specific: Lines are only visible on intraday charts (1-minute to 59-minute timeframes) to prevent clutter on higher timeframes.
Customizable: Adjust the line's color, style, and thickness from the Inputs menu.
Key Levels: Daily, Weekly, Monthly [BackQuant]Key Levels: Daily, Weekly, Monthly
Map the market’s “memory” in one glance—yesterday’s range, this week’s chosen day high/low, and D/W/M opens—then auto-clean levels once they break.
What it does
This tool plots three families of high-signal reference lines and keeps them tidy as price evolves:
Chosen Day High/Low (per week) — Pick a weekday (e.g., Monday). For each past week, the script records that day’s session high and low and projects them forward for a configurable number of bars. These act like “memory levels” that price often revisits.
Daily / Weekly / Monthly Opens — Plots the opening price of each new day, week, and month with separate styling. These opens frequently behave like magnets/flip lines intraday and anchors for regime on higher timeframes.
Auto-pruning — When price breaks a stored level, the script can automatically remove it to reduce clutter and refocus you on still-active lines. See: (broken levels removed).
Why these levels matter
Liquidity pockets — Prior day’s high/low and the daily open concentrate stops and pending orders. Mapping them quickly reveals likely sweep or fade zones. Example: previous day highs + daily open highlighting liquidity:
Context & regime — Monthly opens frame macro bias; trading above a rising cluster of monthly opens vs. below gives a clean top-down read. Example: monthly-only “macro outlook” view:
Cleaner charts — Auto-remove broken lines so you focus on what still matters right now.
What it plots (at a glance)
Past Chosen Day High/Low for up to N prior weeks (your choice), extended right.
Current Daily Open , Weekly Open , and Monthly Open , each with its own color, label, and forward extension.
Optional short labels (e.g., “Mon High”) or full labels (with week/month info).
How breaks are detected & cleaned
You control both the evidence and the timing of a “break”:
Break uses — Choose Close (more conservative) or Wick (more sensitive).
Inclusive? — If enabled, equality counts (≥ high or ≤ low). If disabled, you need a strict cross.
Allow intraday breaks? — If on, a level can break during the tracked day; if off, the script only counts breaks after the session completes.
Remove Broken Levels — When a break is confirmed, the line/label is deleted automatically. (See the demo: )
Quick start
Pick a Day of Week to Track (e.g., Monday).
Set how many weeks back to show (e.g., 8–10).
Choose how far to extend each family (bars to the right for chosen-day H/L and D/W/M opens).
Decide if a break uses Close or Wick , and whether equality counts.
Toggle Remove Broken Levels to keep the chart clean automatically.
Tips by use-case
Intraday bias — Watch the Daily Open as a magnet/flip. If price gaps above and holds, pullbacks to the daily open often decide direction. Pair with last day’s high/low for sweep→reversal or true breakout cues. See:
Weekly structure — Track the week’s chosen day (e.g., Monday) high/low across prior weeks. If price stalls near a cluster of old “Monday Highs,” look for sweep/reject patterns or continuation on reclaim.
Macro regime — Hide daily/weekly lines and keep only Monthly Opens to read bigger cycles at a glance (BTC/crypto especially). Example:
Customization
Use wicks or bodies for highs/lows (wicks capture extremes; bodies are stricter).
Line style & thickness — solid/dashed/dotted, width 1–5, plus global transparency.
Labels — Abbreviated (“Mon High”, “D Open”) or full (month/week/day info).
Color scheme — Separate colors for highs, lows, and each of D/W/M opens.
Capacity controls — Set how many daily/weekly/monthly opens and how many weeks of chosen-day H/L to keep visible.
What’s under the hood
On your selected weekday, the script records that session’s true high and true low (using wicks or body-based extremes—your choice), then projects a horizontal line forward for the next bars.
At each new day/week/month , it records the opening price and projects that line forward as well.
Each bar, the script checks your “break” rules; once broken, lines/labels are removed if auto-cleaning is on.
Everything updates in real time; past levels don’t repaint after the session finishes.
Recommended presets
Day trading — Weeks back: 6–10; extend D/W opens: 50–100 bars; Break uses: Close ; Inclusive: off; Auto-remove: on.
Swing — Fewer daily opens, more weekly opens (2–6), and 8–12 weeks of chosen-day H/L.
Macro — Show only Monthly Opens (1–6 months), dashed style, thicker lines for clarity.
Reading the examples
Broken lines disappear — decluttering in action:
Macro outlook — monthly opens as cycle rails:
Liquidity map — previous day highs + daily open:
Final note
These are not “signals”—they’re reference points that many participants watch. By standardising how you draw them and automatically clearing the ones that no longer matter, you turn a noisy chart into a focused map: where liquidity likely sits, where price memory lives, and which lines are still in play.
Quantile Regression Bands [BackQuant]Quantile Regression Bands
Tail-aware trend channeling built from quantiles of real errors, not just standard deviations.
What it does
This indicator fits a simple linear trend over a rolling lookback and then measures how price has actually deviated from that trend during the window. It then places two pairs of bands at user-chosen quantiles of those deviations (inner and outer). Because bands are based on empirical quantiles rather than a symmetric standard deviation, they adapt to skewed and fat-tailed behaviour and often hug price better in trending or asymmetric markets.
Why “quantile” bands instead of Bollinger-style bands?
Bollinger Bands assume a (roughly) symmetric spread around the mean; quantiles don’t—upper and lower bands can sit at different distances if the error distribution is skewed.
Quantiles are robust to outliers; a single shock won’t inflate the bands for many bars.
You can choose tails precisely (e.g., 1%/99% or 5%/95%) to match your risk appetite.
How it works (intuitive)
Center line — a rolling linear regression approximates the local trend.
Residuals — for each bar in the lookback, the indicator looks at the gap between actual price and where the line “expected” price to be.
Quantiles — those gaps are sorted; you select which percentiles become your inner/outer offsets.
Bands — the chosen quantile offsets are added to the current end of the regression line to draw parallel support/resistance rails.
Smoothing — a light EMA can be applied to reduce jitter in the line and bands.
What you see
Center (linear regression) line (optional).
Inner quantile bands (e.g., 25th/75th) with optional translucent fill.
Outer quantile bands (e.g., 1st/99th) with a multi-step gradient to visualise “tail zones.”
Optional bar coloring: bars trend-colored by whether price is rising above or falling below the center line.
Alerts when price crosses the outer bands (upper or lower).
How to read it
Trend & drift — the slope of the center line is your local trend. Persistent closes on the same side of the center line indicate directional drift.
Pullbacks — tags of the inner band often mark routine pullbacks within trend. Reaction back to the center line can be used for continuation entries/partials.
Tails & squeezes — outer-band touches highlight statistically rare excursions for the chosen window. Frequent outer-band activity can signal regime change or volatility expansion.
Asymmetry — if the upper band sits much further from the center than the lower (or vice versa), recent behaviour has been skewed. Trade management can be adjusted accordingly (e.g., wider take-profit upslope than downslope).
A simple trend interpretation can be derived from the bar colouring
Good use-cases
Volatility-aware mean reversion — fade moves into outer bands back toward the center when trend is flat.
Trend participation — buy pullbacks to the inner band above a rising center; flip logic for shorts below a falling center.
Risk framing — set dynamic stops/targets at quantile rails so position sizing respects recent tail behaviour rather than fixed ticks.
Inputs (quick guide)
Source — price input used for the fit (default: close).
Lookback Length — bars in the regression window and residual sample. Longer = smoother, slower bands; shorter = tighter, more reactive.
Inner/Outer Quantiles (τ) — choose your “typical” vs “tail” levels (e.g., 0.25/0.75 inner, 0.01/0.99 outer).
Show toggles — independently toggle center line, inner bands, outer bands, and their fills.
Colors & transparency — customize band and fill appearance; gradient shading highlights the tail zone.
Band Smoothing Length — small EMA on lines to reduce stair-step artefacts without meaningfully changing levels.
Bar Coloring — optional trend tint from the center line’s momentum.
Practical settings
Swing trading — Length 75–150; inner τ = 0.25/0.75, outer τ = 0.05/0.95.
Intraday — Length 50–100 for liquid futures/FX; consider 0.20/0.80 inner and 0.02/0.98 outer in high-vol assets.
Crypto — Because of fat tails, try slightly wider outers (0.01/0.99) and keep smoothing at 2–4 to tame weekend jumps.
Signal ideas
Continuation — in an uptrend, look for pullback into the lower inner band with a close back above the center as a timing cue.
Exhaustion probe — in ranges, first touch of an outer band followed by a rejection candle back inside the inner band often precedes mean-reversion swings.
Regime shift — repeated closes beyond an outer band or a sharp re-tilt in the center line can mark a new trend phase; adjust tactics (stop-following along the opposite inner band).
Alerts included
“Price Crosses Upper Outer Band” — potential overextension or breakout risk.
“Price Crosses Lower Outer Band” — potential capitulation or breakdown risk.
Notes
The fit and quantiles are computed on a fixed rolling window and do not repaint; bands update as the window moves forward.
Quantiles are based on the recent distribution; if conditions change abruptly, expect band widths and skew to adapt over the next few bars.
Parameter choices directly shape behaviour: longer windows favour stability, tighter inner quantiles increase touch frequency, and extreme outer quantiles highlight only the rarest moves.
Final thought
Quantile bands answer a simple question: “How unusual is this move given the current trend and the way price has been missing it lately?” By scoring that question with real, distribution-aware limits rather than one-size-fits-all volatility you get cleaner pullback zones in trends, more honest “extreme” tags in ranges, and a framework for risk that matches the market’s recent personality.
Cumulative Returns by Session [BackQuant]Cumulative Returns by Session
What this is
This tool breaks the trading day into three user-defined sessions and tracks how much each session contributes to return, volatility, and volume. It then aggregates results over a rolling window so you can see which session has been pulling its weight, how streaky each session has been, and how sessions relate to one another through a compact correlation heatmap.
We’ve also given the functionality for the user to use a simplified table, just by switching off all settings they are not interested in.
How it works
1) Session segmentation
You define APAC, EU, and US sessions with explicit hours and time zones. The script detects when each session starts and ends on every intraday bar and records its open, intraday high and low, close, and summed volume.
2) Per-session math
At each session end the script computes:
Return — either Percent: (Close−Open)÷Open×100(Close − Open) ÷ Open × 100(Close−Open)÷Open×100 or Points: (Close−Open)(Close − Open)(Close−Open), based on your selection.
Volatility — either Range: (High−Low)÷Open×100(High − Low) ÷ Open × 100(High−Low)÷Open×100 or ATR scaled by price: ATR÷Open×100ATR ÷ Open × 100ATR÷Open×100.
Volume — total volume transacted during that session.
3) Storage and lookback
Each day’s three session stats are stored as a row. You choose how many recent sessions to keep in memory. The script then:
Builds cumulative returns for APAC, EU, US across the lookback.
Computes averages, win rates, and a Sharpe-like ratio avgreturn÷avgvolatilityavg return ÷ avg volatilityavgreturn÷avgvolatility per session.
Tracks streaks of positive or negative sessions to show momentum.
Tracks drawdowns on cumulative returns to show worst runs from peak.
Computes rolling means over a short window for short-term drift.
4) Correlation heatmap
Using the stored arrays of session returns, the script calculates Pearson correlations between APAC–EU, APAC–US, and EU–US, and colors the matrix by strength and sign so you can spot coupling or decoupling at a glance.
What it plots
Three lines: cumulative return for APAC, EU, US over the chosen lookback.
Zero reference line for orientation.
A statistics table with cumulative %, average %, positive session rate, and optional columns for volatility, average volume, max drawdown, current streak, return-to-vol ratio, and rolling average.
A small correlation heatmap table showing APAC, EU, US cross-session correlations.
How to use it
Pick the asset — leave Custom Instrument empty to use the chart symbol, or point to another symbol for cross-asset studies.
Set your sessions and time zones — defaults approximate APAC, EU, and US hours, but you can align them to exchange times or your workflow.
Choose calculation modes — Percent vs Points for return, Range vs ATR for volatility. Points are convenient for futures and fixed-tick assets, Percent is comparable across symbols.
Decide the lookback — more sessions smooths lines and stats; fewer sessions makes the tool more reactive.
Toggle analytics — add volatility, volume, drawdown, streaks, Sharpe-like ratio, rolling averages, and the correlation table as needed.
Why session attribution helps
Different sessions are driven by different flows. Asia often sets the overnight tone, Europe adds liquidity and direction changes, and the US session can dominate range expansion. Separating contributions by session helps you:
Identify which session has been the main driver of net trend.
Measure whether volatility or volume is concentrated in a specific window.
See if one session’s gains are consistently given back in another.
Adapt tactics: fade during a mean-reverting session, press during a trending session.
Reading the tables
Cumulative % — sum of session returns over the lookback. The sign and slope tell you who is carrying the move.
Avg Return % and Positive Sessions % — direction and hit rate. A low average but high hit rate implies many small moves; the reverse implies occasional big swings.
Avg Volatility % — typical intrabars range for that session. Compare with Avg Return to judge efficiency.
Return/Vol Ratio — return per unit of volatility. Higher is better for stability.
Max Drawdown % — worst cumulative give-back within the lookback. A quick way to spot riskiness by session.
Current Streak — consecutive up or down sessions. Useful for mean-reversion or regime awareness.
Rolling Avg % — short-window drift indicator to catch recent turnarounds.
Correlation matrix — green clusters indicate sessions tending to move together; red indicates offsetting behavior.

Common applications
Session bias mapping — find which window tends to trend in your market and plan exposure accordingly.
Strategy scheduling — allocate attention or risk to the session with the best return-to-vol ratio.
News and macro awareness — see if correlation rises around central bank cycles or major data releases.
Cross-asset monitoring — set the Custom Instrument to a driver (index future, DXY, yields) to see if your symbol reacts in a particular session.
Notes
This indicator works on intraday charts, since sessions are defined within a day. If you change session clocks or time zones, give the script a few bars to accumulate fresh rows. Percent vs Points and Range vs ATR choices affect comparability across assets, so be consistent when comparing symbols.
Session context is one of the simplest ways to explain a messy tape. By separating the day into three windows and scoring each one on return, volatility, and consistency, this tool shows not just where price ended up but when and how it got there. Use the cumulative lines to spot the steady driver, read the table to judge quality and risk, and glance at the heatmap to learn whether the sessions are amplifying or canceling one another. Adjust the hours to your market and let the data tell you which session deserves your focus.
Deadband Hysteresis Supertrend [BackQuant]Deadband Hysteresis Supertrend
A two-stage trend tool that first filters price with a deadband baseline, then runs a Supertrend around that baseline with optional flip hysteresis and ATR-based adverse exits.
What this is
A hybrid of two ideas:
Deadband Hysteresis Baseline that only advances when price pulls far enough from the baseline to matter. This suppresses micro noise and gives you a stable centerline.
Supertrend bands wrapped around that baseline instead of raw price. Flips are further gated by an extra margin so side changes are more deliberate.
The goal is fewer whipsaws in chop and clearer regime identification during trends.
How it works (high level)
Deadband step — compute a per-bar “deadband” size from one of four modes: ATR, Percent of price, Ticks, or Points. If price deviates from the baseline by more than this amount, move the baseline forward by a fraction of the excess. If not, hold the line.
Centered Supertrend — build upper and lower bands around the baseline using ATR and a user factor. Track the usual trailing logic that tightens a band while price moves in its favor.
Flip hysteresis — require price to exceed the active band by an extra flip offset × ATR before switching sides. This adds stickiness at the boundary.
Adverse exit — once a side is taken, trigger an exit if price moves against the entry by K × ATR .
If you would like to check out the filter by itself:
What it plots
DBHF baseline (optional) as a smooth centerline.
DBHF Supertrend as the active trailing band.
Candle coloring by trend side for quick read.
Signal markers 𝕃 and 𝕊 at flips plus ✖ on adverse exits.
Inputs that matter
Price Source — series being filtered. Close is typical. HL2 or HLC3 can be steadier.
Deadband mode — ATR, Percent, Ticks, or Points. This defines the “it’s big enough to matter” zone.
ATR Length / Mult (DBHF) — only used when mode = ATR. Larger values widen the do-nothing zone.
Percent / Ticks / Points — alternatives to ATR; pick what fits your market’s convention.
Enter Mult — scales the deadband you must clear before the baseline moves. Increase to filter more noise.
Response — fraction of the excess applied to baseline movement. Higher responds faster; lower is smoother.
Supertrend ATR Period & Factor — traditional band size controls; higher factor widens and flips less often.
Flip Offset ATR — extra ATR buffer required to flip. Useful in choppy regimes.
Adverse Stop K·ATR — per-trade danger brake that forces an exit if price moves K×ATR against entry.
UI — toggle baseline, supertrend, signals, and bar painting; choose long and short colors.
How to read it
Green regime — candles painted long and the Supertrend running below price. Pullbacks toward the baseline that fail to breach the opposite band often resume higher.
Red regime — candles painted short and the Supertrend running above price. Rallies that cannot reclaim the band may roll over.
Frequent side swaps — reduce sensitivity by increasing Enter Mult, using ATR mode, raising the Supertrend factor, or adding Flip Offset ATR.
Use cases
Bias filter — allow entries only in the direction of the current side. Use your preferred triggers inside that bias.
Trailing logic — treat the active band as a dynamic stop. If the side flips or an adverse K·ATR exit prints, reduce or close exposure.
Regime map — on higher timeframes, the combination baseline + band produces a clean up vs down template for allocation decisions.
Tuning guidance
Fast markets — ATR deadband, modest Enter Mult (0.8–1.2), response 0.2–0.35, Supertrend factor 1.7–2.2, small Flip Offset (0.2–0.5 ATR).
Choppy ranges — widen deadband or raise Enter Mult, lower response, and add more Flip Offset so flips require stronger evidence.
Slow trends — longer ATR periods and higher Supertrend factor to keep you on side longer; use a conservative adverse K.
Included alerts
DBHF ST Long — side flips to long.
DBHF ST Short — side flips to short.
Adverse Exit Long / Short — K·ATR stop triggers against the current side.
Strengths
Deadbanded baseline reduces micro whipsaws before Supertrend logic even begins.
Flip hysteresis adds a second layer of confirmation at the boundary.
Optional adverse ATR stop provides a uniform risk cut across assets and regimes.
Clear visuals and minimal parameters to adjust for symbol behavior.
Putting it together
Think of this tool as two decisions layered into one view. The deadband baseline answers “does this move even count,” then the Supertrend wrapped around that baseline answers “if it counts, which side should I be on and where do I flip.” When both parts agree you tend to stay on the correct side of a trend for longer, and when they disagree you get an early warning that conditions are changing.
When the baseline bends and price cannot reclaim the opposite band , momentum is usually continuing. Pullbacks into the baseline that stall before the far band often resolve in trend.
When the baseline flattens and the bands compress , expect indecision. Use the Flip Offset ATR to avoid reacting to the first feint. Wait for a clean band breach with follow through.
When an adverse K·ATR exit prints while the side has not flipped , treat it as a risk event rather than a full regime change. Many users cut size, re-enter only if the side reasserts, and let the next flip confirm a new trend.
Final thoughts
Deadband Hysteresis Supertrend is best read as a regime lens. The baseline defines your tolerance for noise, the bands define your trailing structure, and the flip offset plus adverse ATR stop define how forgiving or strict you want to be at the boundary. On strong trends it helps you hold through shallow shakeouts. In choppy conditions it encourages patience until price does something meaningful. Start with settings that reflect the cadence of your market, observe how often flips occur, then nudge the deadband and flip offset until the tool spends most of its time describing the move you care about rather than the noise in between.
Turtle Body Setup by TradeTech AnalysisOverview
Turtle Body Setup is a minimalist, rules-based pattern detector built around a simple idea: a sequence of shrinking candle bodies (compression) often precedes a directional expansion (breakout). The script identifies those compression phases and then flags the first candle whose body expands significantly beyond the recent average, with polarity taken from the candle’s direction.
This is not a mash-up of many public indicators. It focuses on one original micro-structure concept: strict body-contraction → body-expansion . The logic is fully described below so traders and moderators can understand what it does and how to use it.
How it Works
1. Compression detection (body contraction):
• Over a user-defined window Compression Lookback (N), the script counts strictly shrinking candle bodies (|close-open|).
• When the count ≥ Min Shrinking Candles, we mark the market as in compression.
2. Expansion / Breakout qualification:
• Compute avgBody = SMA(body, N).
• A candle is a breakout when current body > avgBody × Breakout Body Multiplier.
• Polarity: green (close>open) → Bullish breakout; red (close
Deadband Hysteresis Filter [BackQuant]Deadband Hysteresis Filter
What this is
This tool builds a “debounced” price baseline that ignores small fluctuations and only reacts when price meaningfully departs from its recent path. It uses a deadband to define how much deviation matters and a hysteresis scheme to avoid rapid flip-flops around the decision boundary. The baseline’s slope provides a simple trend cue, used to color candles and to trigger up and down alerts.
Why deadband and hysteresis help
They filter micro noise so the baseline does not react to every tiny tick.
They stabilize state changes. Hysteresis means the rule to start moving is stricter than the rule to keep holding, which reduces whipsaw.
They produce a stepped, readable path that advances during sustained moves and stays flat during chop.
How it works (conceptual)
At each bar the script maintains a running baseline dbhf and compares it to the input price p .
Compute a base threshold baseTau using the selected mode (ATR, Percent, Ticks, or Points).
Build an enter band tauEnter = baseTau × Enter Mult and an exit band tauExit = baseTau × Exit Mult where typically Exit Mult < Enter Mult .
Let diff = p − dbhf .
If diff > +tauEnter , raise the baseline by response × (diff − tauEnter) .
If diff < −tauEnter , lower the baseline by response × (diff + tauEnter) .
Otherwise, hold the prior value.
Trend state is derived from slope: dbhf > dbhf → up trend, dbhf < dbhf → down trend.
Inputs and what they control
Threshold mode
ATR — baseTau = ATR(atrLen) × atrMult . Adapts to volatility. Useful when regimes change.
Percent — baseTau = |price| × pctThresh% . Scale-free across symbols of different prices.
Ticks — baseTau = syminfo.mintick × tickThresh . Good for futures where tick size matters.
Points — baseTau = ptsThresh . Fixed distance in price units.
Band multipliers and response
Enter Mult — outer band. Price must travel at least this far from the baseline before an update occurs. Larger values reject more noise but increase lag.
Exit Mult — inner band for hysteresis. Keep this smaller than Enter Mult to create a hold zone that resists small re-entries.
Response — step size when outside the enter band. Higher response tracks faster; lower response is smoother.
UI settings
Show Filtered Price — plots the baseline on price.
Paint candles — colors bars by the filtered slope using your long/short colors.
How it can be used
Trend qualifier — take entries only in the direction of the baseline slope and skip trades against it.
Debounced crossovers — use the baseline as a stabilized surrogate for price in moving-average or channel crossover rules.
Trailing logic — trail stops a small distance beyond the baseline so small pullbacks do not eject the trade.
Session aware filtering — widen Enter Mult or switch to ATR mode for volatile sessions; tighten in quiet sessions.
Parameter interactions and tuning
Enter Mult vs Response — both govern sensitivity. If you see too many flips, increase Enter Mult or reduce Response. If turns feel late, do the opposite.
Exit Mult — widening the gap between Enter and Exit expands the hold zone and reduces oscillation around the threshold.
Mode choice — ATR adapts automatically; Percent keeps behavior consistent across instruments; Ticks or Points are useful when you think in fixed increments.
Timeframe coupling — on higher timeframes you can often lower Enter Mult or raise Response because raw noise is already reduced.
Concrete starter recipes
General purpose — ATR mode, atrLen=14 , atrMult=1.0–1.5 , Enter=1.0 , Exit=0.5 , Response=0.20 . Balanced noise rejection and lag.
Choppy range filter — ATR mode, increase atrMult to 2.0, keep Response≈0.15 . Stronger suppression of micro-moves.
Fast intraday — Percent mode, pctThresh=0.1–0.3 , Enter=1.0 , Exit=0.4–0.6 , Response=0.30–0.40 . Quicker turns for scalping.
Futures ticks — Ticks mode, set tickThresh to a few spreads beyond typical noise; start with Enter=1.0 , Exit=0.5 , Response=0.25 .
Strengths
Clear, explainable logic with an explicit noise budget.
Multiple threshold modes so the same tool fits equities, futures, and crypto.
Built-in hysteresis that reduces flip-flop near the boundary.
Slope-based coloring and alerts that make state changes obvious in real time.
Limitations and notes
All filters add lag. Larger thresholds and smaller response trade faster reaction for fewer false turns.
Fixed Points or Ticks can under- or over-filter when volatility regime shifts. ATR adapts, but will also expand bands during spikes.
On extremely choppy symbols, even a well tuned band will step frequently. Widen Enter Mult or reduce Response if needed.
This is a chart study. It does not include commissions, slippage, funding, or gap risks.
Alerts
DBHF Up Slope — baseline turns from down to up on the latest bar.
DBHF Down Slope — baseline turns from up to down on the latest bar.
Implementation details worth knowing
Initialization sets the baseline to the first observed price to avoid a cold-start jump.
Slope is evaluated bar-to-bar. The up and down alerts check for a change of slope rather than raw price crossings.
Candle colors and the baseline plot share the same long/short palette with transparency applied to the line.
Practical workflow
Pick a mode that matches how you think about distance. ATR for volatility aware, Percent for scale-free, Ticks or Points for fixed increments.
Tune Enter Mult until the number of flips feels appropriate for your timeframe.
Set Exit Mult clearly below Enter Mult to create a real hold zone.
Adjust Response last to control “how fast” the baseline chases price once it decides to move.
Final thoughts
Deadband plus hysteresis gives you a principled way to “only care when it matters.” With a sensible threshold and response, the filter yields a stable, low-chop trend cue you can use directly for bias or plug into your own entries, exits, and risk rules.
Martingale Strategy Simulator [BackQuant]Martingale Strategy Simulator
Purpose
This indicator lets you study how a martingale-style position sizing rule interacts with a simple long or short trading signal. It computes an equity curve from bar-to-bar returns, adapts position size after losing streaks, caps exposure at a user limit, and summarizes risk with portfolio metrics. An optional Monte Carlo module projects possible future equity paths from your realized daily returns.
What a martingale is
A martingale sizing rule increases stake after losses and resets after a win. In its classical form from gambling, you double the bet after each loss so that a single win recovers all prior losses plus one unit of profit. In markets there is no fixed “even-money” payout and returns are multiplicative, so an exact recovery guarantee does not exist. The core idea is unchanged:
Lose one leg → increase next position size
Lose again → increase again
Win → reset to the base size
The expectation of your strategy still depends on the signal’s edge. Sizing does not create positive expectancy on its own. A martingale raises variance and tail risk by concentrating more capital as a losing streak develops.
What it plots
Equity – simulated portfolio equity including compounding
Buy & Hold – equity from holding the chart symbol for context
Optional helpers – last trade outcome, current streak length, current allocation fraction
Optional diagnostics – daily portfolio return, rolling drawdown, metrics table
Optional Monte Carlo probability cone – p5, p16, p50, p84, p95 aggregate bands
Model assumptions
Bar-close execution with no slippage or commissions
Shorting allowed and frictionless
No margin interest, borrow fees, or position limits
No intrabar moves or gaps within a bar (returns are close-to-close)
Sizing applies to equity fraction only and is capped by your setting
All results are hypothetical and for education only.
How the simulator applies it
1) Directional signal
You pick a simple directional rule that produces +1 for long or −1 for short each bar. Options include 100 HMA slope, RSI above or below 50, EMA or SMA crosses, CCI and other oscillators, ATR move, BB basis, and more. The stance is evaluated bar by bar. When the stance flips, the current trade ends and the next one starts.
2) Sizing after losses and wins
Position size is a fraction of equity:
Initial allocation – the starting fraction, for example 0.15 means 15 percent of equity
Increase after loss – multiply the next allocation by your factor after a losing leg, for example 2.00 to double
Reset after win – return to the initial allocation
Max allocation cap – hard ceiling to prevent runaway growth
At a high level the size after k consecutive losses is
alloc(k) = min( cap , base × factor^k ) .
In practice the simulator changes size only when a leg ends and its PnL is known.
3) Equity update
Let r_t = close_t / close_{t-1} − 1 be the symbol’s bar return, d_{t−1} ∈ {+1, −1} the prior bar stance, and a_{t−1} the prior bar allocation fraction. The simulator compounds:
eq_t = eq_{t−1} × (1 + a_{t−1} × d_{t−1} × r_t) .
This is bar-based and avoids intrabar lookahead. Costs, slippage, and borrowing costs are not modeled.
Why traders experiment with martingale sizing
Mean-reversion contexts – if the signal often snaps back after a string of losses, adding size near the tail of a move can pull the average entry closer to the turn
Behavioral or microstructure edges – some rules have modest edge but frequent small whipsaws; size escalation may shorten time-to-recovery when the edge manifests
Exploration and stress testing – studying the relationship between streaks, caps, and drawdowns is instructive even if you do not deploy martingale sizing live
Why martingale is dangerous
Martingale concentrates capital when the strategy is performing worst. The main risks are structural, not cosmetic:
Loss streaks are inevitable – even with a 55 percent win rate you should expect multi-loss runs. The probability of at least one k-loss streak in N trades rises quickly with N.
Size explodes geometrically – with factor 2.0 and base 10 percent, the sequence is 10, 20, 40, 80, 100 (capped) after five losses. Without a strict cap, required size becomes infeasible.
No fixed payout – in gambling, one win at even odds resets PnL. In markets, there is no guaranteed bounce nor fixed profit multiple. Trends can extend and gaps can skip levels.
Correlation of losses – losses cluster in trends and in volatility bursts. A martingale tends to be largest just when volatility is highest.
Margin and liquidity constraints – leverage limits, margin calls, position limits, and widening spreads can force liquidation before a mean reversion occurs.
Fat tails and regime shifts – assumptions of independent, Gaussian returns can understate tail risk. Structural breaks can keep the signal wrong for much longer than expected.
The simulator exposes these dynamics in the equity curve, Max Drawdown, VaR and CVaR, and via Monte Carlo sketches of forward uncertainty.
Interpreting losing streaks with numbers
A rough intuition: if your per-trade win probability is p and loss probability is q=1−p , the chance of a specific run of k consecutive losses is q^k . Over many trades, the chance that at least one k-loss run occurs grows with the number of opportunities. As a sanity check:
If p=0.55 , then q=0.45 . A 6-loss run has probability q^6 ≈ 0.008 on any six-trade window. Across hundreds of trades, a 6 to 8-loss run is not rare.
If your size factor is 1.5 and your base is 10 percent, after 8 losses the requested size is 10% × 1.5^8 ≈ 25.6% . With factor 2.0 it would try to be 10% × 2^8 = 256% but your cap will stop it. The equity curve will still wear the compounded drawdown from the sequence that led to the cap.
This is why the cap setting is central. It does not remove tail risk, but it prevents the sizing rule from demanding impossible positions
Note: The p and q math is illustrative. In live data the win rate and distribution can drift over time, so real streaks can be longer or shorter than the simple q^k intuition suggests..
Using the simulator productively
Parameter studies
Start with conservative settings. Increase one element at a time and watch how the equity, Max Drawdown, and CVaR respond.
Initial allocation – lower base reduces volatility and drawdowns across the board
Increase factor – set modestly above 1.0 if you want the effect at all; doubling is aggressive
Max cap – the most important brake; many users keep it between 20 and 50 percent
Signal selection
Keep sizing fixed and rotate signals to see how streak patterns differ. Trend-following signals tend to produce long wrong-way streaks in choppy ranges. Mean-reversion signals do the opposite. Martingale sizing interacts very differently with each.
Diagnostics to watch
Use the built-in metrics to quantify risk:
Max Drawdown – worst peak-to-trough equity loss
Sharpe and Sortino – volatility and downside-adjusted return
VaR 95 percent and CVaR – tail risk measures from the realized distribution
Alpha and Beta – relationship to your chosen benchmark
If you would like to check out the original performance metrics script with multiple assets with a better explanation on all metrics please see
Monte Carlo exploration
When enabled, the forecast draws many synthetic paths from your realized daily returns:
Choose a horizon and a number of runs
Review the bands: p5 to p95 for a wide risk envelope; p16 to p84 for a narrower range; p50 as the median path
Use the table to read the expected return over the horizon and the tail outcomes
Remember it is a sketch based on your recent distribution, not a predictor
Concrete examples
Example A: Modest martingale
Base 10 percent, factor 1.25, cap 40 percent, RSI>50 signal. You will see small escalations on 2 to 4 loss runs and frequent resets. The equity curve usually remains smooth unless the signal enters a prolonged wrong-way regime. Max DD may rise moderately versus fixed sizing.
Example B: Aggressive martingale
Base 15 percent, factor 2.0, cap 60 percent, EMA cross signal. The curve can look stellar during favorable regimes, then a single extended streak pushes allocation to the cap, and a few more losses drive deep drawdown. CVaR and Max DD jump sharply. This is a textbook case of high tail risk.
Strengths
Bar-by-bar, transparent computation of equity from stance and size
Explicit handling of wins, losses, streaks, and caps
Portable signal inputs so you can A–B test ideas quickly
Risk diagnostics and forward uncertainty visualization in one place
Example, Rolling Max Drawdown
Limitations and important notes
Martingale sizing can escalate drawdowns rapidly. The cap limits position size but not the possibility of extended adverse runs.
No commissions, slippage, margin interest, borrow costs, or liquidity limits are modeled.
Signals are evaluated on closes. Real execution and fills will differ.
Monte Carlo assumes independent draws from your recent return distribution. Markets often have serial correlation, fat tails, and regime changes.
All results are hypothetical. Use this as an educational tool, not a production risk engine.
Practical tips
Prefer gentle factors such as 1.1 to 1.3. Doubling is usually excessive outside of toy examples.
Keep a strict cap. Many users cap between 20 and 40 percent of equity per leg.
Stress test with different start dates and subperiods. Long flat or trending regimes are where martingale weaknesses appear.
Compare to an anti-martingale (increase after wins, cut after losses) to understand the other side of the trade-off.
If you deploy sizing live, add external guardrails such as a daily loss cut, volatility filters, and a global max drawdown stop.

Final thoughts
A martingale is not a free lunch. It is a way to tilt capital allocation toward losing streaks. If the signal has a real edge and mean reversion is common, careful and capped escalation can reduce time-to-recovery. If the signal lacks edge or regimes shift, the same rule can magnify losses at the worst possible moment. This simulator makes those trade-offs visible so you can calibrate parameters, understand tail risk, and decide whether the approach belongs anywhere in your research workflow.
Universal Trend+ [BackQuant]Universal Trend+
This indicator blends several well-known technical ideas into a single composite trend and momentum model. It can be show primarily as an overlay or a oscillator:
In which it produces two things:
a composite oscillator that summarizes multiple signals into one normalized score
a regime signal rendered on the chart as a colored ribbon with optional 𝕃 and 𝕊 markers
The goal is to simplify decision-making by having multiple, diverse measurements vote in a consistent framework, rather than relying on any single indicator in isolation.
What it does
Computes five independent components, each reading a different aspect of price behavior
Converts each component into a standardized bullish / neutral / bearish vote
Averages the available votes to a composite score
Compares that score to user thresholds to label the environment bullish, neutral, or bearish
Colors a fast/slow moving-average ribbon by the current regime, optionally paints candles, and can plot the composite oscillator in a lower pane
The five components (conceptual)
1)RSI Momentum Bias
A classic momentum gauge on a selectable source and lookback. The component emphasizes whether conditions are persistently strong or weak and applies a neutral buffer to avoid reacting to trivial moves. Output is expressed as a vote: bullish, neutral, or bearish.
2) Rate-of-Change Impulse
A smoothed rate-of-change that focuses on short bursts in acceleration. It is used to detect impulsive pushes rather than slow drift. Extreme readings cast a directional vote, mid-range readings abstain.
3) EMA Oscillator
A slope-style trend gauge formed by contrasting a fast and a slow EMA on a chosen source, normalized so that the sign and relative magnitude matter more than absolute price. A small dead-zone reduces whipsaws.
4) T3-Based Normalized Oscillator
A T3 smoother is transformed into a bounded oscillator via rolling normalization, then optionally smoothed by a user-selectable MA. This highlights directional drift while keeping scale consistent across symbols and regimes.
5) DEMA + ATR Bands State
A double-EMA core is wrapped in adaptive ATR bands to create a stepping state that reacts when pressure exceeds a volatility envelope. The component contributes an event-style vote on meaningful shifts.
Each component is designed to measure something different: trend slope, momentum impulse, normalized drift, and volatility-aware pressure. Their diversity is the point.
Composite scoring model
Standardization: Each component is mapped to -1 (bearish), 0 (neutral), or +1 (bullish) using bands and guards to cut noise.
Aggregation: The composite score is the average of the available votes. If a component is inactive on a bar, the composite uses the votes that are present.
Decision layer: Two user thresholds define your action bands.
Above the upper band → bullish regime
Below the lower band → bearish regime
Between the bands → neutral
This separation between measurement, aggregation, and decision avoids over-fitting any single threshold and makes the tool adaptable across assets and timeframes.
Plots and UI
Composite oscillator (optional lower pane): A normalized line that trends between bearish and bullish zones with user thresholds drawn for context.
Signal ribbon (on price): A fast/slow MA pair tinted by the current regime to give an at-a-glance market state.
Markers: Optional 𝕃 and 𝕊 labels when the regime flips.
Candle painting and background tint: Optional visual reinforcement of state.
Color and style controls: User inputs for long/short colors, threshold line color, and visibility toggles.
How it can be used
1) Regime filter
Use the composite regime to define bias. Trade only long in a bullish regime, only short in a bearish regime, and stand aside or scale down in neutral. This simple filter often reduces whipsaw.
2) Confirmation layer
Keep your entry method the same (breaks, pullbacks, liquidity sweeps, order-flow cues) but require agreement from the composite regime or a fresh flip in the 𝕃/𝕊 markers.
3) Momentum breakouts
Look for the composite oscillator to leave neutrality while the EMA oscillator is already positive and the ATR-band state has flipped. Confluence across components is the intent.
4) Pullback entries within trend
In a bullish regime, consider entries on shallow composite dips that recover before breaching the lower band. Reverse the logic in a bearish regime.
5) Exits and risk
Common choices are:
reduce on a return to neutral,
exit on an opposite regime flip, or
trail behind your own stop model (ATR, structure, session levels) while using the ribbon for context.
6) Multi-timeframe workflow
Select a higher timeframe for bias with this indicator, and time executions on a lower timeframe. The indicator itself stays on a single chart; you can load a second chart or pane if you prefer a strict top-down process.
Strengths
Diversified evidence: Five independent perspectives keep the model from hinging on one idea.
Noise control: Neutral buffers and a composite layer reduce reaction to minor wiggles.
Clarity: A single oscillator and a clearly colored ribbon present a complex assessment in a simple form.
Adaptable: Thresholds and lookbacks let you tune for faster or slower markets.
Practical tuning
Thresholds: Wider bands produce fewer regime flips and longer holds. Narrower bands increase sensitivity.
Lookbacks: Shorter lookbacks emphasize recent action; longer lookbacks emphasize stability.
T3 normalization window and volume factor: Increase the window to suppress noise on choppy symbols; tweak the factor to adjust the smoother’s response.
ATR factor for the band state: Raise it to demand more decisive pressure before registering a shift; lower it to respond earlier.
Alerts
Built-in alerts trigger when the regime flips long or short. If you prefer confirmed signals, set your alerts to bar close on your timeframe. Intrabar the composite can move with price; bar-close confirmation stabilizes behavior.
Limitations
Sideways markets: Even with buffers, any trend model can chop in range-bound conditions.
Lag vs sensitivity trade-off: Tighter thresholds react faster but flip more often; wider thresholds are steadier but later.
Asset specificity: Volatility regimes differ. Expect to retune ATR and normalization settings when switching symbols or timeframes.
Final Remarks
Universal Trend+ is meant to act like a disciplined voting committee. Each component contributes a different angle on the same underlying question: is the market pressing up, pressing down, or doing neither with conviction. By standardizing and aggregating those views, you get a single regime read that plays well with many entry styles and risk frameworks, while keeping the heavy math under the hood.
ATR% | Volatility NormalizerThis indicator measures true volatility by expressing the Average True Range (ATR) as a percentage of price. Unlike basic ATR plots, which show raw values, this version normalizes volatility to make it directly comparable across instruments and timeframes.
How it works:
Uses True Range (High–Low plus gaps) to capture actual market movement.
Normalizes by dividing ATR by the chosen price base (default: Close).
Multiplies by 100 to output a clean ATR% line.
Smoothing is flexible: choose from RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA.
Optional Feature:
For comparison, you can toggle an auxiliary line showing the average absolute close-to-close % move, highlighting the difference between simplified and true volatility.
Why use it:
Track regime shifts: identify when volatility expands or contracts in % terms.
Compare volatility across different markets (equities, crypto, forex, commodities).
Integrate into risk management: position sizing, stop placement, or volatility filters for entries.
Interpretation:
Rising ATR% → expanding volatility, potential breakouts or unstable ranges.
Falling ATR% → contracting volatility, possible consolidation or range-bound conditions.
Sudden spikes → market “shocks” worth paying attention to.
Advanced Candlestick Patterns [MAB]🔎 Overview
Advanced Candlestick Patterns is a framework that detects well-defined candlestick patterns with a consistent Validation / Devalidation process, optional swing-context filters , and a hidden-candle reconstruction mode for stricter pattern anatomy.

Liquidity Swing Points [BackQuant]Liquidity Swing Points
This tool marks recent swing highs and swing lows and turns them into persistent horizontal “liquidity” levels. These are places where resting orders often accumulate, such as stop losses above prior highs and below prior lows. The script detects confirmed pivots, records their prices, draws lines and labels, and manages their lifecycle on the chart so you can monitor potential sweep or breakout zones without manual redrawing.
What it plots
LQ-H at confirmed swing highs
LQ-L at confirmed swing lows
Horizontal levels that can optionally extend into the future
Timed removal of old levels to keep the chart clean
Each level stores its price, the bar where it was created, its type (high or low), plus a label and a line reference for efficient updates.
How it works
Pivot detection
A swing high is confirmed when the highest high has swing_length bars on both sides that are lower.
A swing low is confirmed when the lowest low has swing_length bars on both sides that are higher.
Pivots are only marked after they are confirmed, so they do not repaint.
Level creation
When a pivot confirms, the script records the price and the creation bar (offset by the right lookback).
A new line is plotted at that price, labeled LQ-H or LQ-L.
Rendering and extension
Levels can be drawn to the most recent bar only or extended to the right for forward reference.
Label size and line color/transparency are configurable.
Lifecycle management
On each confirmed bar, the script checks level age.
Levels older than a chosen bar count are removed automatically to reduce clutter.
How it can be used
Liquidity sweeps: Watch for price to probe beyond a level then close back inside. That behavior often signals a potential fade back into the prior range.
Breakout validation: If price pushes through a level and holds on closes, traders may treat that as continuation. Retests of the level from the other side can serve as structure checks.
Context for entries and exits: Use nearby LQ-H or LQ-L as reference for stop placement or partial-take zones, especially when other tools agree.
Multi-timeframe mapping: Plot swing points on higher timeframes, then drill down to time entries on lower timeframes as price interacts with those levels.
Why liquidity levels matter
Prior swing points are focal areas where many strategies set stops or pending orders. Price often revisits these zones, either to “sweep” resting liquidity before reversing, or to absorb it and trend. Marking these areas objectively helps frame scenarios like failed breaks, successful breakouts, and retests, and it reduces the subjectivity of eyeballing structure.
Settings to know
Swing Detection Length (swing_length), Controls sensitivity. Lower values find more local swings. Higher values find more significant ones.
Bars until removal (removeafter), Deletes levels after a fixed number of bars to prevent buildup.
Extend Levels Right (extend_levels), Keeps levels projected into the future for easier planning.
Label Size (label_size), Choose tiny to large for chart readability.
One color input controls both high and low levels with transparency for context.
Strengths
Objective marking of recent structure without hand drawing
No repaint after confirmation since pivots are locked once the right lookback completes
Lightweight and fast with simple lifecycle management
Clear visuals that integrate well with any price-action workflow
Practical tips
For scalping: use smaller swing_length to capture more granular liquidity. Keep removeafter short to avoid clutter.
For swing trading: increase swing_length so only more meaningful levels remain. Consider extending levels to the right for planning.
Combine with time-of-day filters, ATR for stop sizing, or a separate trend filter to bias trades taken at the levels.
Keep screenshots focused: one image showing a sweep and reversal, another showing a clean breakout and retest.
Limitations and notes
Levels appear after confirmation, so they are delayed by swing_length bars. This is by design to avoid repainting.
On very noisy or illiquid symbols, you may see many nearby levels. Increasing swing_length and shortening removeafter helps.
The script does not assess volume or session context. Consider pairing with volume or session tools if that is part of your process.
Adaptive Valuation [BackQuant]Adaptive Valuation
What this is
A composite, zero-centered oscillator that standardizes several classic indicators and blends them into one “valuation” line. It computes RSI, CCI, Demarker, and the Price Zone Oscillator, converts each to a rolling z-score, then forms a weighted average. Optional smoothing, dynamic overbought and oversold bands, and an on-chart table make the inputs and the final score easy to inspect.
How it works
Components
• RSI with its own lookback.
• CCI with its own lookback.
• DM (Demarker) with its own lookback.
• PZO (Price Zone Oscillator) with its own lookback.
Standardization via z-score
Each component is transformed using a rolling z-score over lookback bars:
z = (value − mean) ÷ stdev , where the mean is an EMA and the stdev is rolling.
This puts all inputs on a comparable scale measured in standard deviations.
Weighted blend
The z-scores are combined with user weights w_rsi, w_cci, w_dm, w_pzo to produce a single valuation series. If desired, it is then smoothed with a selected moving average (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, RMA, DEMA, TEMA, LINREG, ALMA, T3). ALMA’s sigma input shapes its curve.
Dynamic thresholds (optional)
Two ways to set overbought and oversold:
• Static : fixed levels at ob_thres and os_thres .
• Dynamic : ±k·σ bands, where σ is the rolling standard deviation of the valuation over dynLen .
Bands can be centered at zero or around the valuation’s rolling mean ( centerZero ).
Visualization and UI
• Zero line at 0 with gradient fill that darkens as the valuation moves away from 0.
• Optional plotting of band lines and background highlights when OB or OS is active.
• Optional candle and background coloring driven by the valuation.
• Summary table showing each component’s current z-score, the final score, and a compact status.
How it can be used
• Bias filter : treat crosses above 0 as bullish bias and below 0 as bearish bias.
• Mean-reversion context : look for exhaustion when the valuation enters the OB or OS region, then watch for exits from those regions or a return toward 0.
• Signal confirmation : use the final score to confirm setups from structure or price action.
• Adaptive banding : with dynamic thresholds, OB and OS adjust to prevailing variability rather than relying on fixed lines.
• Component tuning : change weights to emphasize trend (raise DM, reduce RSI/CCI) or range behavior (raise RSI/CCI, reduce DM). PZO can help in swing environments.
Why z-score blending helps
Indicators often live on different scales. Z-scoring places them on a common, unitless axis, so a one-sigma move in RSI has comparable influence to a one-sigma move in CCI. This reduces scale bias and allows transparent weighting. It also facilitates regime-aware thresholds because the dynamic bands scale with recent dispersion.
Inputs to know
• Component lookbacks : rsilb, ccilb, dmlb, pzolb control each raw signal.
• Standardization window : lookback sets the z-score memory. Longer smooths, shorter reacts.
• Weights : w_rsi, w_cci, w_dm, w_pzo determine each component’s influence.
• Smoothing : maType, smoothP, sig govern optional post-blend smoothing.
• Dynamic bands : dyn_thres, dynLen, thres_k, centerZero configure the adaptive OB/OS logic.
• UI : toggle the plot, table, candle coloring, and threshold lines.
Reading the plot
• Above 0 : composite pressure is positive.
• Below 0 : composite pressure is negative.
• OB region : valuation above the chosen OB line. Risk of mean reversion rises and momentum continuation needs evidence.
• OS region : mirror logic on the downside.
• Band exits : leaving OB or OS can serve as a normalization cue.
Strengths
• Normalizes heterogeneous signals into one interpretable series.
• Adjustable component weights to match instrument behavior.
• Dynamic thresholds adapt to changing volatility and drift.
• Transparent diagnostics from the on-chart table.
• Flexible smoothing choices, including ALMA and T3.
Limitations and cautions
• Z-scores assume a reasonably stationary window. Sharp regime shifts can make recent bands unrepresentative.
• Highly correlated components can overweight the same effect. Consider adjusting weights to avoid double counting.
• More smoothing adds lag. Less smoothing adds noise.
• Dynamic bands recalibrate with dynLen ; if set too short, bands may swing excessively. If too long, bands can be slow to adapt.
Practical tuning tips
• Trending symbols: increase w_dm , use a modest smoother like EMA or T3, and use centerZero dynamic bands.
• Choppy symbols: increase w_rsi and w_cci , consider ALMA with a higher sigma , and widen bands with a larger thres_k .
• Multiday swing charts: lengthen lookback and dynLen to stabilize the scale.
• Lower timeframes: shorten component lookbacks slightly and reduce smoothing to keep signals timely.
Alerts
• Enter and exit of Overbought and Oversold, based on the active band choice.
• Bullish and bearish zero crosses.
Use alerts as prompts to review context rather than as stand-alone trade commands.
Final Remarks
We created this to show people a different way of making indicators & trading.
You can process normal indicators in multiple ways to enhance or change the signal, especially with this you can utilise machine learning to optimise the weights, then trade accordingly.
All of the different components were selected to give some sort of signal, its made out of simple components yet is effective. As long as the user calibrates it to their Trading/ investing style you can find good results. Do not use anything standalone, ensure you are backtesting and creating a proper system.
Ichimoku HorizonIchimoku Horizon – Multi-Timeframe Analysis
A multi-timeframe Ichimoku faithful to Hosoda, with authentic real-time calculations.
Ichimoku Horizon is an indicator based on the original method developed by Goichi Hosoda in the 1930s. It strictly respects the authentic formulas and prioritizes mathematical fidelity.
Key Features
Intelligent Multi-Timeframe
Native chart: Ichimoku from your trading timeframe
3 higher timeframes: Daily (1D), Weekly (1W), Monthly (1M) by default
Automatic projection: only higher timeframes relative to the chart are displayed
Precise offsets: displacement adapted to each timeframe
Guaranteed Authenticity
Hosoda’s original formulas fully respected
lookahead_off exclusively: lines calculated in real time with the current candle
Traditional displacement: 26 periods for cloud projection and Chikou shift
Why lookahead_off?
lookahead_off is the calculation mode that respects Hosoda’s logic:
Tenkan, Kijun, SSA and SSB all include the current candle and move in real time.
Chikou is the only exception: shifted 26 periods but calculated only with confirmed closes.
This way, what you see always matches the actual market as it is forming.
What is the no repaint approach?
A no repaint indicator displays values exactly as they exist in the present moment:
Lines update in real time during the formation of a candle.
Once the candle closes, they remain permanently fixed.
This ensures that the plots reflect the true construction of the market.
Main Parameters
Tenkan: 9 periods (short term)
Kijun: 26 periods (medium term)
SSB: 52 periods (long term)
Displacement: 26 periods (+26 for the cloud, −26 for the Chikou)
Timeframe Selection
TF1: Daily (structure aligned with trading activity)
TF2: Weekly (intermediate trend)
TF3: Monthly (macro vision)
Example Configurations
Scalping: Chart 1m → TF1: 5m, TF2: 15m, TF3: 1H
Intraday: Chart 5m → TF1: 15m, TF2: 1H, TF3: 4H
The indicator automatically hides inconsistent timeframes (lower than the chart).
Natural Line Display
Some lines will sometimes appear flat or straight: this is the normal behavior of Ichimoku, directly reflecting the highs and lows of their calculation windows.
Conclusion
Ichimoku Horizon is designed to remain true to Hosoda’s vision while offering the clarity of a modern multi-timeframe tool.

Signalgo Strategy I is a systematically engineered TradingView strategy script designed to automate, test, and manage trend-following trades using multi-timeframe price/volume logic, volatility-based targets, and multi-layered exit management. This summary covers its operational structure, user inputs, entry and exit methodology, unique technical features, and practical application.
Core Logic and Workflow
Multi-Timeframe Data Synthesis
User-Defined Timeframe: The user chooses a timeframe (e.g., 1H, 4H, 1D, etc.), on which all strategy signals are based.
Cross-Timeframe Inputs: The strategy imports closing price, volume, and Average True Range (ATR) for the selected interval, independently from the chart’s native timeframe, enabling robust multi-timeframe analysis.
Price Change & Volume Ratio: It calculates the percent change of price per bar and computes a volume ratio by comparing current volume to its 20-bar moving average—enabling detection of true “event” moves vs. normal market noise.
Hype Filtering
Anti-Hype Mechanism: An entry is automatically filtered out if abnormal high volume occurs without corresponding price movement, commonly observed during manipulation or announcement periods. This helps isolate genuine market-driven momentum.
User Inputs
Select Timeframe: Choose which interval drives signal generation.
Backtest Start Date: Specify from which date historical signals are included in the strategy (for precise backtests).
Take-Profit/Stop-Loss Configuration: Internally, risk levels are set as multiples of ATR and allow for three discrete profit targets.
Entry Logic
Trade Signal Criteria:
Price change magnitude in the current bar must exceed a fixed sensitivity threshold.
Volume for the bar must be significantly elevated compared to average, indicating meaningful participation.
Anti-hype check must not be triggered.
Bullish/Bearish Determination: If all conditions are met and price change direction is positive, a long signal triggers. If negative, a short signal triggers.
Signal Debouncing: Ensures a signal triggers only when a new condition emerges, avoiding duplicate entries on flat or choppy bars.
State Management: The script tracks whether an active long or short is open to avoid overlapping entries and to facilitate clean reversals.
Exit Strategy
Take-Profits: Three distinct profit targets (TP1, TP2, TP3) are calculated as fixed multiples of the ATR-based stop loss, adapting dynamically to volatility.
Reversals: If a buy signal appears while a short is open (or vice versa), the existing trade is closed and reversed in a single step.
Time-Based Exit: If, 49 bars after entry, the trade is in-profit but hasn’t reached TP1, it exits to avoid stagnation risk.
Adverse Move Exit: The position is force-closed if it suffers a 10% reversal from entry, acting as a catastrophic stop.
Visual Feedback: Each TP/SL/exit is plotted as a clear, color-coded line on the chart; no hidden logic is used.
Alerts: Built-in TradingView alert conditions allow automated notification for both entries and strategic exits.
Distinguishing Features vs. Traditional MA Strategies
Event-Based, Not Just Slope-Based: While classic moving average strategies enter trades on MA crossovers or slope changes, Signalgo Strategy I demands high-magnitude price and volume confirmation on the chosen timeframe.
Volume Filtering: Very few MA strategies independently filter for meaningful volume spikes.
Real Market Event Focus: The anti-hype filter differentiates organic market trends from manipulated “high-volume, no-move” sessions.
Three-Layer Exit Logic: Instead of a single trailing stop or fixed RR, this script manages three profit targets, time-based closures, and hard adverse thresholds.
Multi-Timeframe, Not Chart-Dependent: The “main” analytical interval can be set independently from the current chart, allowing for in-depth cross-timeframe backtests and system runs.
Reversal Handling: Automatic handling of signal reversals closes and flips positions precisely, reducing slippage and manual error.
Persistent State Tracking: Maintains variables tracking entry price, trade status, and target/stop levels independently of chart context.
Trading Application
Strategy Sandbox: Designed for robust backtesting, allowing users to simulate performance across historical data for any major asset or interval.
Active Risk Management: Trades are consistently managed for both fixed interval “stall” and significant loss, not just via trailing stops or fixed-day closes.
Alert Driven: Can power algorithmic trading bots or notify discretionary traders the moment a qualifying market event occurs.
Volumetric Support and Resistance [BackQuant]Volumetric Support and Resistance
What this is
This Overlay locates price levels where both structure and participation have been meaningful. It combines classical swing points with a volume filter, then manages those levels on the chart as price evolves. Each level carries:
• A reference price (support or resistance)
• An estimate of the volume that traded around that price
• A touch counter that updates when price retests it
• A visual box whose thickness is scaled by volatility
The result is a concise map of candidate support and resistance that is informed by both price location and how much trading occurred there.
How levels are built
Find structural pivots uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with a user set sensitivity. Larger sensitivity looks for broader swings. Smaller sensitivity captures tighter turns.
Require meaningful volume computes an average volume over a lookback period and forms a volume ratio for the current bar. A pivot only becomes a level when the ratio is at least the volume significance multiplier.
Avoid clustering checks a minimum level distance (as a percent of price). If a candidate is too close to an existing level, it is skipped to keep the map readable.
Attach a volume strength to the level estimates volume strength by averaging the volume of recent bars whose high to low range spans that price. Levels with unusually high strength are flagged as high volume.
Store and draw levels are kept in an array with fields for price, type, volume, touches, creation bar, and a box handle. On the last bar, each level is drawn as a horizontal box centered at the price with a vertical thickness scaled by ATR. Borders are thicker when the level is marked high volume. Boxes can extend into the future.
How levels evolve over time
• Aging and pruning : levels are removed if they are too old relative to the lookback or if you exceed the maximum active levels.
• Break detection : a level can be removed when price closes through it by more than a break threshold set as a fraction of ATR. Toggle with Remove Broken Levels.
• Touches : when price approaches within the break threshold, the level’s touch counter increments.
Visual encoding
• Boxes : support boxes are green, resistance boxes are red. Box height uses an ATR based thickness so tolerance scales with volatility. Transparency is fixed in this version. Borders are thicker on high volume levels.
• Volume annotation : show the estimated volume inside the box or as a label at the right. If a level has more than one touch, a suffix like “(2x)” is appended.
• Extension : boxes can extend a fixed number of bars into the future and can be set to extend right.
• High volume bar tint : bars with volume above average × multiplier are tinted green if up and red if down.
Inputs at a glance
Core Settings
• Level Detection Sensitivity — pivot window for swing detection
• Volume Significance Multiplier — minimum volume ratio to accept a pivot
• Lookback Period — window for average volume and maintenance rules
Level Management
• Maximum Active Levels — cap on concurrently drawn levels
• Minimum Level Distance (%) — required spacing between level prices
Visual Settings
• Remove Broken Levels — drop a level once price closes decisively through it
• Show Volume Information on Levels — annotate volume and touches
• Extend Levels to Right — carry boxes forward
Enhanced Visual Settings
• Show Volume Text Inside Box — text placement option
• Volume Based Transparency and Volume Based Border Thickness — helper logic provided; current draw block fixes transparency and increases border width on high volume levels
Colors
• Separate colors for support, resistance, and their high volume variants
How it can be used
• Trade planning : use the most recent support and resistance as reference zones for entries, profit taking, or stop placement. ATR scaled thickness provides a practical buffer.
• Context for patterns : combine with breakouts, pullbacks, or candle patterns. A breakout through a high volume resistance carries more informational weight than one through a thin level.
• Prioritization : when multiple levels are nearby, prefer high volume or higher touch counts.
• Regime adaptation : widen sensitivity and increase minimum distance in fast regimes to avoid clutter. Tighten them in calm regimes to capture more granularity.
Why volume support and resistance is used in trading
Support and resistance relate to willingness to transact at certain prices. Volume measures participation. When many contracts change hands near a price:
• More market players hold inventory there, often creating responsive behavior on retests
• Order flow can concentrate again to defend or to exit
• Breaks can be cleaner as trapped inventory rebalances
Conditioning level detection on above average activity focuses attention on prices that mattered to more participants.
Alerts
• New Support Level Created
• New Resistance Level Created
• Level Touch Alert
• Level Break Alert
Strengths
• Dual filter of structure and participation, reducing trivial swing points
• Self cleaning map that retires old or invalid levels
• Volatility aware presentation using ATR based thickness
• Touch counting for persistence assessment
• Tunable inputs for instrument and timeframe
Limitations and caveats
• Volume strength is an approximation based on bars spanning the price, not true per price volume
• Pivots confirm after the sensitivity window completes, so new levels appear with a delay
• Narrow ranges can still cluster levels unless minimum distance is increased
• Large gaps may jump past levels and immediately trigger break conditions
Practical tuning guide
• If the chart is crowded: increase sensitivity, increase minimum level distance, or reduce maximum active levels
• If useful levels are missed: reduce volume multiplier or sensitivity
• If you want stricter break removal: increase the ATR based break threshold in code
• For instruments with session patterns: tailor the lookback period to a representative window
Interpreting touches and breaks
• First touch after creation is a validation test
• Multiple shallow touches suggest absorption; a later break may then travel farther
• Breaks on high current volume merit extra attention
Multi timeframe usage
Levels are computed on the active chart timeframe. A common workflow is to keep a higher timeframe instance for structure and a lower timeframe instance for execution. Align trades with higher timeframe levels where possible.
Final Thoughts
This indicator builds a lightweight, self updating map of support and resistance grounded in swings and participation. It is not a full market profile, but it captures much of the practical benefit with modest complexity. Treat levels as context and decision zones, not guarantees. Combine with your entry logic and risk controls.
DM Impulse Enhanced [BackQuant]DM Impulse Enhanced
What this is (and what it isn’t)
DM Impulse Enhanced is a signal-driven overlay that classifies market action into two practical regimes: Long (risk-on) and Cash (risk-off). It’s built around a proprietary impulse model from the directional-movement family, wrapped in a persistence test and a state machine. Because this script is private, the core mechanics are intentionally abstracted here; what follows explains how to read and use it without revealing the protected calculation.
Why traders use it
Many tools oscillate or describe “how stretched” price is; fewer make a firm, operational call that you can automate. DM Impulse Enhanced aims to do exactly that declare when upside pressure is broad and durable enough to justify a long bias, and when deterioration is strong enough to stand aside (cash/short discretion). The emphasis is on impulse persistence rather than one-off spikes.
What you see on the chart
• Long / Cash markers – Green up-triangles (Long) and red down-triangles (Cash) plot at the bar where the regime changes.
• Regime-tinted bars (optional) – Candles can be softly shaded green during Long and red during Cash for at-a-glance context.
• Trend ribbon (context only) – A narrow ribbon (fast/slow moving averages) is tinted by the current regime to show trend alignment; it does not generate signals on its own.
• No separate sub-pane – Signals are intended to sit directly on price for immediate decision-making.
How the logic behaves (high-level)
Impulse core – A directional-movement–based engine estimates the strength of buying vs. selling pressure over a user-defined horizon.
Persistence gate – Instead of reacting to a single reading, the model evaluates how consistently that impulse dominates across a configurable lookback range.
State machine – When persistence clears (or fails) a pair of thresholds, the model flips and stays in that regime until evidence justifies a change. This “stickiness” is intentional; it reduces whipsaws in choppy tape.
Inputs & controls
Calculation Settings
• DM Length – The base horizon for the impulse engine. Longer = smoother/steadier; shorter = quicker/more reactive.
• Start / End – Defines the span of the persistence check. Expanding the span asks the market to prove itself against more history before changing regime.
Signal Settings
• Long Threshold – The persistence level required to promote the model into Long.
• Short Threshold – The level that, once crossed to the downside, demotes the model into Cash. Using a cross-under event for risk-off helps avoid premature exits on noise.
Visual Settings
• Long / Short colours – Customize marker and shading hues.
• Color Bars? – Toggle candle tinting by regime (off if you prefer a clean chart).
Reading the signals
• Long prints only when the model observes sustained upside pressure across the configured span. Treat this as permission to engage with pullbacks, breakouts, or your preferred setups in the direction of the trend.
• Cash prints when downside deterioration is strong enough to invalidate the prior regime. It’s a risk-off directive—flatten, hedge, or switch to short strategies according to your plan.
• Regime persistence is a feature: once Long, the model won’t flip on minor dips; once Cash, it won’t re-arm on minor bounces. If you want more flips, shorten the spans and relax thresholds; if you want fewer, do the opposite.
Practical tuning guide
Match DM Length to your timeframe
– Intraday: smaller length for timely response.
– Swing/Position: larger length to filter desk-noise and track higher-timeframe flows.
Size the persistence span to your goal
– Narrow span: faster regime changes, more trades, more noise.
– Wide span: fewer, higher-conviction calls, longer holds.
Set realistic thresholds
– The Long threshold should be reachable with your chosen span; the Short threshold should be low enough to catch genuine deterioration but not so tight that it flips on every dip.
Decide on cosmetics
– Turn on bar tinting for discretionary reading, or keep it off when exporting screenshots or running other overlays.
Suggested workflows
• Trend-following with discipline – Trade only in the Long regime; use structure (higher lows, anchored VWAP, or pullbacks to your MA stack) for entries and the Cash flip as a portfolio-level exit.
• Risk overlay – Keep your normal strategy, but: reduce size when Cash appears; re-enable full risk only after Long reasserts.
• Multi-timeframe gating – Require Long on a higher timeframe (e.g., 4H or 1D), then take entries on a lower one. If the high-TF posts Cash, stand down.
How the ribbon fits in
The ribbon visualizes short- vs. intermediate-term trend in the same colour as the regime. It’s deliberately “dumb”: it does not change the signal, it just helps you see when price action and regime are in harmony (e.g., pullbacks during Long that hold above the ribbon).
Alerts included
• DM Impulse LONG – Triggers as the persistence measure clears the Long threshold.
• DM Impulse CASH – Triggers when deterioration crosses the Short threshold from above.
Configure alerts to fire on bar close if you want final (non-intrabar) decisions.
Strengths
• Actionable binary output – Long/Cash is unambiguous and easy to automate.
• Persistence-aware – Focuses on runs that endure, not one-bar excitement.
• Asset/timeframe agnostic – Works anywhere you trust directional-movement concepts (equities, futures, crypto, FX).
Limitations & cautions
• Not a reversal caller – It’s a regime classifier. If you need early bottoms/tops, pair it with your own exhaustion or liquidity tools.
• Parameter feasibility matters – If your thresholds are set beyond what your span can reasonably achieve, signals may rarely (or never) trigger.
• Chop happens – In mean-reverting or news-driven tape, expect more frequent flips unless you widen spans and thresholds.
• Intrabar movement – Like any responsive model, provisional intrabar states can appear before the bar closes. Use “bar close” alerts for finality.
Getting started (safe defaults you can adapt)
• Intraday bias – Shorter DM Length, modest span, moderately tight thresholds.
• Swing filter – Longer DM Length, wider span, stricter Long and sufficiently low Short.
• Conservative overlay – Keep thresholds firm and spans wide; use signals to scale risk rather than flip directions frequently.
Summary
DM Impulse Enhanced is a persistence-focused regime classifier built on directional-movement concepts. It answers a narrow question clearly “Risk-on or risk-off?” and stays with that answer until the evidence meaningfully changes. Use it as a bias switch, a portfolio risk overlay, or a gate for your existing entry logic, and size its spans/thresholds to the cadence of the market you trade.
EMA Oscillator [Alpha Extract]A precision mean reversion analysis tool that combines advanced Z-score methodology with dual threshold systems to identify extreme price deviations from trend equilibrium. Utilizing sophisticated statistical normalization and adaptive percentage-based thresholds, this indicator provides high-probability reversal signals based on standard deviation analysis and dynamic range calculations with institutional-grade accuracy for systematic counter-trend trading opportunities.
🔶 Advanced Statistical Normalization
Calculates normalized distance between price and exponential moving average using rolling standard deviation methodology for consistent interpretation across timeframes. The system applies Z-score transformation to quantify price displacement significance, ensuring statistical validity regardless of market volatility conditions.
// Core EMA and Oscillator Calculation
ema_values = ta.ema(close, ema_period)
oscillator_values = close - ema_values
rolling_std = ta.stdev(oscillator_values, ema_period)
z_score = oscillator_values / rolling_std
🔶 Dual Threshold System
Implements both statistical significance thresholds (±1σ, ±2σ, ±3σ) and percentage-based dynamic thresholds calculated from recent oscillator range extremes. This hybrid approach ensures consistent probability-based signals while adapting to varying market volatility regimes and maintaining signal relevance during structural market changes.
// Statistical Thresholds
mild_threshold = 1.0 // ±1σ (68% confidence)
moderate_threshold = 2.0 // ±2σ (95% confidence)
extreme_threshold = 3.0 // ±3σ (99.7% confidence)
// Percentage-Based Dynamic Thresholds
osc_high = ta.highest(math.abs(z_score), lookback_period)
mild_pct_thresh = osc_high * (mild_pct / 100.0)
moderate_pct_thresh = osc_high * (moderate_pct / 100.0)
extreme_pct_thresh = osc_high * (extreme_pct / 100.0)
🔶 Signal Generation Framework
Triggers buy/sell alerts when Z-score crosses extreme threshold boundaries, indicating statistically significant price deviations with high mean reversion probability. The system generates continuation signals at moderate levels and reversal signals at extreme boundaries with comprehensive alert integration.
// Extreme Signal Detection
sell_signal = ta.crossover(z_score, selected_extreme)
buy_signal = ta.crossunder(z_score, -selected_extreme)
// Dynamic Color Coding
signal_color = z_score >= selected_extreme ? #ff0303 : // Extremely Overbought
z_score >= selected_moderate ? #ff6a6a : // Overbought
z_score >= selected_mild ? #b86456 : // Mildly Overbought
z_score > -selected_mild ? #a1a1a1 : // Neutral
z_score > -selected_moderate ? #01b844 : // Mildly Oversold
z_score > -selected_extreme ? #00ff66 : // Oversold
#00ff66 // Extremely Oversold
🔶 Visual Structure Analysis
Provides a six-tier color gradient system with dynamic background zones indicating mild, moderate, and extreme conditions. The histogram visualization displays Z-score intensity with threshold reference lines and zero-line equilibrium context for precise mean reversion timing.

🔶 Adaptive Threshold Selection
Features intelligent threshold switching between statistical significance levels and percentage-based dynamic ranges. The percentage system automatically adjusts to current volatility conditions using configurable lookback periods, while statistical thresholds maintain consistent probability-based signal generation across market cycles.
🔶 Performance Optimization
Utilizes efficient rolling calculations with configurable EMA periods and threshold parameters for optimal performance across all timeframes. The system includes comprehensive alert functionality with customizable notification preferences and visual signal overlay options.
🔶 Market Oscillator Interpretation
Z-score > +3σ indicates statistically significant overbought conditions with high reversal probability, while Z-score < -3σ signals extreme oversold levels suitable for counter-trend entries. Moderate thresholds (±2σ) capture 95% of normal price distributions, making breaches statistically significant for systematic trading approaches.
