Titan Wings 3 (by Oberlunar)Titan Wings 3: Volatility and Trend Dynamics Tool
Description:
Titan Wings 3 is a comprehensive indicator designed to help traders navigate complex market conditions by integrating volatility analysis, advanced moving averages, and dynamic signal generation. This script is not a simple combination of public domain tools; it is a carefully engineered system that merges statistical insights with market structure analysis to deliver actionable signals.
Core Functionality:
The indicator uses log returns to calculate volatility, which is then conditioned by price behavior relative to multiple moving averages. Volatility bands are dynamically adjusted based on percentile ranks, standard deviations, and ATR values to provide traders with precise zones of market activity. These bands are visualized on the chart, highlighting areas of potential breakout or reversal.
Titan Wings 3 features three types of moving averages—Exponential (EMA), Simple (SMA), and Hull (HMA)—giving users flexibility to align the tool with their trading strategies. The script evaluates price action relative to these averages, identifying critical zones where market sentiment shifts.
In addition to trend-following metrics, the script dynamically generates labels to signal key trading opportunities. These signals are derived from normalized distance calculations between the price and selected moving averages, combined with a proprietary methodology for filtering noise and amplifying significant trends.
Why Titan Wings 3 Stands Out:
Originality: Titan Wings 3 is not a generic mashup of indicators. Its unique normalization technique for distance metrics, percentile-based volatility thresholds, and the use of Hull Moving Averages make it a sophisticated tool for identifying high-probability trades.
Actionable Insights: The script provides real-time labels and visual cues for both long and short opportunities, allowing traders to act decisively during key moments of price action.
Adaptability: The customizable parameters for moving average types, percentile thresholds, and volatility multipliers ensure that the tool can adapt to various market conditions and trading styles.
How It Works:
Volatility Bands: Percentile-based calculations and ATR/standard deviation multipliers are used to create adaptive upper and lower bands, highlighting areas of market expansion and contraction.
Dynamic Labels: Signals are generated based on normalized metrics that measure the price's relationship to key moving averages, providing a reliable framework for trend identification.
Visual Overlays: The script fills specific price zones with color-coded areas to indicate bullish or bearish conditions, enhancing the clarity of market structure.
How to Use It:
Adjust the moving average type and parameters to align with your trading style.
Use the volatility bands to identify breakouts or reversals.
Follow the real-time labels to confirm potential trade entries.
Pay attention to the visual overlays to quickly assess market sentiment.

Daily ATR Levels - Vishal SubandhThe following script visualizes the ATR High and ATR Low levels based on the previous day’s closing price. The Average True Range (ATR) indicates how much a stock is likely to move—upward or downward—on a given day, providing insight into its intraday volatility. Additionally, the script calculates and displays the daily ATR as a percentage, with specific levels marked at 60% and 80%.
These percentage levels are plotted for both the high and low ranges, offering a framework to analyze potential price movements. In the context of a strong trend, prices often extend to the 80% or even 100% ATR level before showing signs of reversal. Such behavior is observed during pronounced uptrends or downtrends. Conversely, during weaker trends, price reversals may occur at the 60% ATR levels.
It is recommended to use this analysis in conjunction with other tools, such as support and resistance levels or demand and supply zones, for a more comprehensive approach to trading.
Crypto Market Cap Momentum Analyzer (AiBitcoinTrend)The Crypto Market Cap Momentum Analyzer (AiBitcoinTrend) is a robust tool designed to uncover trading opportunities by blending market cap analysis and momentum dynamics. Inspired by research-backed quantitative strategies, this indicator helps traders identify trend-following and mean-reversion setups in the cryptocurrency market by evaluating recent performance and market cap size.
This indicator classifies cryptocurrencies into market cap quintiles and ranks them based on their 2-week momentum. It then suggests potential trades—whether to go long, anticipate reversals, or simply hold—based on the crypto's market cap group and momentum trends.
👽 How the Indicator Works
👾 Market Cap Classification
The indicator categorizes cryptocurrencies into one of five market cap groups based on user-defined inputs:
Large Cap: Highest market cap tier
Upper Mid Cap: Second highest group
Mid Cap: Middle-tier market caps
Lower Mid Cap: Slightly below the mid-tier
Small Cap: Lowest market cap tier
This classification dynamically adjusts based on the provided market cap data, ensuring that you’re always working with a representative market structure.
👾 Momentum Calculation
By default, the indicator uses a 2-week momentum measure (e.g., a 14-day lookback when set to daily). It compares a cryptocurrency’s current price to its price 14 bars ago, thereby quantifying its short-term performance. Users can adjust the momentum period and rebalance period to capture shorter or longer-term trends depending on their trading style.
👾 Dynamic Ranking and Trade Suggestions
After assigning cryptos to size quintiles, the indicator sorts them by their momentum within each quintile. This two-step process results in:
Long Trade: For smaller market cap groups (Small, Lower Mid, Mid Cap) that have low (bottom-quintile) momentum, anticipating a trend continuation or breakout.
Reversal Trade: For the largest market cap group (Large Cap) that shows low momentum, expecting a mean-reversion back to equilibrium.
Hold: In scenarios where the coin’s momentum doesn’t present a strong contrarian or trend-following signal.
👽 Applications
👾 Trend-Following in Smaller Caps: Identify small or mid-cap cryptos with low momentum that might be poised for a breakout or sustained trend.
👾 Mean-Reversion in Large Caps: Pinpoint large-cap cryptocurrencies experiencing a temporary lull in performance, potentially ripe for a rebound.
👽 Why It Works in Crypto
The cryptocurrency market is heavily driven by retail investor sentiment and volatility. Research shows that:
Small-Cap Cryptos: Tend to experience higher volatility and speculative trends, making them ideal for momentum trades.
Large-Cap Cryptos: Exhibit more predictable behavior, making them suitable for mean-reversion strategies when momentum is low.
This indicator captures these dynamics to give traders a strategic edge in identifying both momentum and reversal opportunities.
👽 Indicator Settings
👾 Rebalance Period: The frequency at which momentum and trade suggestions are recalculated (Daily, Weekly, Monthly).
Shorter Periods (Daily): Fast updates, suitable for short-term trades, but more noise.
Longer Periods (Weekly/Monthly): Smoother signals, ideal for swing trading and more stable trends.
👾 Momentum Period: The lookback period for momentum calculation (default is 14 bars).
Shorter Periods: More responsive but prone to noise.
Longer Periods : Reflects broader trends, reducing sensitivity to short-term fluctuations.

Median Deviation Suite [InvestorUnknown]The Median Deviation Suite uses a median-based baseline derived from a Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) and layers multiple deviation measures around it. By comparing price to these deviation-based ranges, it attempts to identify trends and potential turning points in the market. The indicator also incorporates several deviation types—Average Absolute Deviation (AAD), Median Absolute Deviation (MAD), Standard Deviation (STDEV), and Average True Range (ATR)—allowing traders to visualize different forms of volatility and dispersion. Users should calibrate the settings to suit their specific trading approach, as the default values are not optimized.
Core Components
Median of a DEMA:
The foundation of the indicator is a Median applied to the 7-day DEMA (Double Exponential Moving Average). DEMA aims to reduce lag compared to simple or exponential moving averages. By then taking a median over median_len periods of the DEMA values, the indicator creates a robust and stable central tendency line.
float dema = ta.dema(src, 7)
float median = ta.median(dema, median_len)
Multiple Deviation Measures:
Around this median, the indicator calculates several measures of dispersion:
ATR (Average True Range): A popular volatility measure.
STDEV (Standard Deviation): Measures the spread of price data from its mean.
MAD (Median Absolute Deviation): A robust measure of variability less influenced by outliers.
AAD (Average Absolute Deviation): Similar to MAD, but uses the mean absolute deviation instead of median.
Average of Deviations (avg_dev): The average of the above four measures (ATR, STDEV, MAD, AAD), providing a combined sense of volatility.
Each measure is multiplied by a user-defined multiplier (dev_mul) to scale the width of the bands.
aad = f_aad(src, dev_len, median) * dev_mul
mad = f_mad(src, dev_len, median) * dev_mul
stdev = ta.stdev(src, dev_len) * dev_mul
atr = ta.atr(dev_len) * dev_mul
avg_dev = math.avg(aad, mad, stdev, atr)
Deviation-Based Bands:
The indicator creates multiple upper and lower lines based on each deviation type. For example, using MAD:
float mad_p = median + mad // already multiplied by dev_mul
float mad_m = median - mad
Similar calculations are done for AAD, STDEV, ATR, and the average of these deviations. The indicator then determines the overall upper and lower boundaries by combining these lines:
float upper = f_max4(aad_p, mad_p, stdev_p, atr_p)
float lower = f_min4(aad_m, mad_m, stdev_m, atr_m)
float upper2 = f_min4(aad_p, mad_p, stdev_p, atr_p)
float lower2 = f_max4(aad_m, mad_m, stdev_m, atr_m)
This creates a layered structure of volatility envelopes. Traders can observe which layers price interacts with to gauge trend strength.
Determining Trend
The indicator generates trend signals by assessing where price stands relative to these deviation-based lines. It assigns a trend score by summing individual signals from each deviation measure. For instance, if price crosses above the MAD-based upper line, it contributes a bullish point; crossing below an ATR-based lower line contributes a bearish point.
When the aggregated trend score crosses above zero, it suggests a shift towards a bullish environment; crossing below zero indicates a bearish bias.
// Define Trend scores
var int aad_t = 0
if ta.crossover(src, aad_p)
aad_t := 1
if ta.crossunder(src, aad_m)
aad_t := -1
var int mad_t = 0
if ta.crossover(src, mad_p)
mad_t := 1
if ta.crossunder(src, mad_m)
mad_t := -1
var int stdev_t = 0
if ta.crossover(src, stdev_p)
stdev_t := 1
if ta.crossunder(src, stdev_m)
stdev_t := -1
var int atr_t = 0
if ta.crossover(src, atr_p)
atr_t := 1
if ta.crossunder(src, atr_m)
atr_t := -1
var int adev_t = 0
if ta.crossover(src, adev_p)
adev_t := 1
if ta.crossunder(src, adev_m)
adev_t := -1
int upper_t = src > upper ? 3 : 0
int lower_t = src < lower ? 0 : -3
int upper2_t = src > upper2 ? 1 : 0
int lower2_t = src < lower2 ? 0 : -1
float trend = aad_t + mad_t + stdev_t + atr_t + adev_t + upper_t + lower_t + upper2_t + lower2_t
var float sig = 0
if ta.crossover(trend, 0)
sig := 1
else if ta.crossunder(trend, 0)
sig := -1
Practical Usage and Calibration
Default settings are not optimized: The given parameters serve as a starting point for demonstration. Users should adjust:
median_len: Affects how smooth and lagging the median of the DEMA is.
dev_len and dev_mul: Influence the sensitivity of the deviation measures. Larger multipliers widen the bands, potentially reducing false signals but introducing more lag. Smaller multipliers tighten the bands, producing quicker signals but potentially more whipsaws.
This flexibility allows the trader to tailor the indicator for various markets (stocks, forex, crypto) and time frames.
Backtesting and Performance Metrics
The code integrates with a backtesting library that allows traders to:
Evaluate the strategy historically
Compare the indicator’s signals with a simple buy-and-hold approach
Generate performance metrics (e.g., mean returns, Sharpe Ratio, Sortino Ratio) to assess historical effectiveness.
Disclaimer
No guaranteed results: Historical performance does not guarantee future outcomes. Market conditions can vary widely.
User responsibility: Traders should combine this indicator with other forms of analysis, appropriate risk management, and careful calibration of parameters.
DAILY Supertrend + EMA Crossover with RSI FilterThis strategy is a technical trading approach that combines multiple indicators—Supertrend, Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI)—to identify and manage trades.
Core Components:
1. Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
Two EMAs, one with a shorter period (fast) and one with a longer period (slow), are calculated. The idea is to spot when the faster EMA crosses above or below the slower EMA. A fast EMA crossing above the slow EMA often suggests upward momentum, while crossing below suggests downward momentum.
2. Supertrend Indicator:
The Supertrend uses Average True Range (ATR) to establish dynamic support and resistance lines. These lines shift above or below price depending on the prevailing trend. When price is above the Supertrend line, the trend is considered bullish; when below, it’s considered bearish. This helps ensure that the strategy trades only in the direction of the overall trend rather than against it.
3. RSI Filter:
The RSI measures momentum. It helps avoid buying into markets that are already overbought or selling into markets that are oversold. For example, when going long (buying), the strategy only proceeds if the RSI is not too high, and when going short (selling), it only proceeds if the RSI is not too low. This filter is meant to improve the quality of the trades by reducing the chance of entering right before a reversal.
4. Time Filters:
The strategy only triggers entries during user-specified date and time ranges. This is useful if one wants to limit trading activity to certain trading sessions or periods with higher market liquidity.
5. Risk Management via ATR-based Stops and Targets:
Both stop loss and take profit levels are set as multiples of the ATR. ATR measures volatility, so when volatility is higher, both stops and profit targets adjust to give the trade more breathing room. Conversely, when volatility is low, stops and targets tighten. This dynamic approach helps maintain consistent risk management regardless of market conditions.
Overall Logic Flow:
- First, the market conditions are analyzed through EMAs, Supertrend, and RSI.
- When a buy (long) condition is met—meaning the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, the trend is bullish according to Supertrend, and RSI is below the specified “overbought” threshold—the strategy initiates or adds to a long position.
- Similarly, when a sell (short) condition is met—meaning the fast EMA crosses below the slow EMA, the trend is bearish, and RSI is above the specified “oversold” threshold—it initiates or adds to a short position.
- Each position is protected by an automatically calculated stop loss and a take profit level based on ATR multiples.
Intended Result:
By blending trend detection, momentum filtering, and volatility-adjusted risk management, the strategy aims to capture moves in the primary trend direction while avoiding entries at excessively stretched prices. Allowing multiple entries can potentially amplify gains in strong trends but also increases exposure, which traders should consider in their risk management approach.
In essence, this strategy tries to ride established trends as indicated by the Supertrend and EMAs, filter out poor-quality entries using RSI, and dynamically manage trade risk through ATR-based stops and targets.
True Amplitude Envelopes (TAE)The True Envelopes indicator is an adaptation of the True Amplitude Envelope (TAE) method, based on the research paper " Improved Estimation of the Amplitude Envelope of Time Domain Signals Using True Envelope Cepstral Smoothing " by Caetano and Rodet. This indicator aims to create an asymmetric price envelope with strong predictive power, closely following the methodology outlined in the paper.
Due to the inherent limitations of Pine Script, the indicator utilizes a Kernel Density Estimator (KDE) in place of the original Cepstral Smoothing technique described in the paper. While this approach was chosen out of necessity rather than superiority, the resulting method is designed to be as effective as possible within the constraints of the Pine environment.
This indicator is ideal for traders seeking an advanced tool to analyze price dynamics, offering insights into potential price movements while working within the practical constraints of Pine Script. Whether used in dynamic mode or with a static setting, the True Envelopes indicator helps in identifying key support and resistance levels, making it a valuable asset in any trading strategy.
Key Features:
Dynamic Mode: The indicator dynamically estimates the fundamental frequency of the price, optimizing the envelope generation process in real-time to capture critical price movements.
High-Pass Filtering: Uses a high-pass filtered signal to identify and smoothly interpolate price peaks, ensuring that the envelope accurately reflects significant price changes.
Kernel Density Estimation: Although implemented as a workaround, the KDE technique allows for flexible and adaptive smoothing of the envelope, aimed at achieving results comparable to the more sophisticated methods described in the original research.
Symmetric and Asymmetric Envelopes: Provides options to select between symmetric and asymmetric envelopes, accommodating various trading strategies and market conditions.
Smoothness Control: Features adjustable smoothness settings, enabling users to balance between responsiveness and the overall smoothness of the envelopes.
The True Envelopes indicator comes with a variety of input settings that allow traders to customize the behavior of the envelopes to match their specific trading needs and market conditions. Understanding each of these settings is crucial for optimizing the indicator's performance.
Main Settings
Source: This is the data series on which the indicator is applied, typically the closing price (close). You can select other price data like open, high, low, or a custom series to base the envelope calculations.
History: This setting determines how much historical data the indicator should consider when calculating the envelopes. A value of 0 will make the indicator process all available data, while a higher value restricts it to the most recent n bars. This can be useful for reducing the computational load or focusing the analysis on recent market behavior.
Iterations: This parameter controls the number of iterations used in the envelope generation algorithm. More iterations will typically result in a smoother envelope, but can also increase computation time. The optimal number of iterations depends on the desired balance between smoothness and responsiveness.
Kernel Style: The smoothing kernel used in the Kernel Density Estimator (KDE). Available options include Sinc, Gaussian, Epanechnikov, Logistic, and Triangular. Each kernel has different properties, affecting how the smoothing is applied. For example, Gaussian provides a smooth, bell-shaped curve, while Epanechnikov is more efficient computationally with a parabolic shape.
Envelope Style: This setting determines whether the envelope should be Static or Dynamic. The Static mode applies a fixed period for the envelope, while the Dynamic mode automatically adjusts the period based on the fundamental frequency of the price data. Dynamic mode is typically more responsive to changing market conditions.
High Q: This option controls the quality factor (Q) of the high-pass filter. Enabling this will increase the Q factor, leading to a sharper cutoff and more precise isolation of high-frequency components, which can help in better identifying significant price peaks.
Symmetric: This setting allows you to choose between symmetric and asymmetric envelopes. Symmetric envelopes maintain an equal distance from the central price line on both sides, while asymmetric envelopes can adjust differently above and below the price line, which might better capture market conditions where upside and downside volatility are not equal.
Smooth Envelopes: When enabled, this setting applies additional smoothing to the envelopes. While this can reduce noise and make the envelopes more visually appealing, it may also decrease their responsiveness to sudden market changes.
Dynamic Settings
Extra Detrend: This setting toggles an additional high-pass filter that can be applied when using a long filter period. The purpose is to further detrend the data, ensuring that the envelope focuses solely on the most recent price oscillations.
Filter Period Multiplier: This multiplier adjusts the period of the high-pass filter dynamically based on the detected fundamental frequency. Increasing this multiplier will lengthen the period, making the filter less sensitive to short-term price fluctuations.
Filter Period (Min) and Filter Period (Max): These settings define the minimum and maximum bounds for the high-pass filter period. They ensure that the filter period stays within a reasonable range, preventing it from becoming too short (and overly sensitive) or too long (and too sluggish).
Envelope Period Multiplier: Similar to the filter period multiplier, this adjusts the period for the envelope generation. It scales the period dynamically to match the detected price cycles, allowing for more precise envelope adjustments.
Envelope Period (Min) and Envelope Period (Max): These settings establish the minimum and maximum bounds for the envelope period, ensuring the envelopes remain adaptive without becoming too reactive or too slow.
Static Settings
Filter Period: In static mode, this setting determines the fixed period for the high-pass filter. A shorter period will make the filter more responsive to price changes, while a longer period will smooth out more of the price data.
Envelope Period: This setting specifies the fixed period used for generating the envelopes in static mode. It directly influences how tightly or loosely the envelopes follow the price action.
TAE Smoothing: This controls the degree of smoothing applied during the TAE process in static mode. Higher smoothing values result in more gradual envelope curves, which can be useful in reducing noise but may also delay the envelope’s response to rapid price movements.
Visual Settings
Top Band Color: This setting allows you to choose the color for the upper band of the envelope. This band represents the resistance level in the price action.
Bottom Band Color: Similar to the top band color, this setting controls the color of the lower band, which represents the support level.
Center Line Color: This is the color of the central price line, often referred to as the carrier. It represents the detrended price around which the envelopes are constructed.
Line Width: This determines the thickness of the plotted lines for the top band, bottom band, and center line. Thicker lines can make the envelopes more visible, especially when overlaid on price data.
Fill Alpha: This controls the transparency level of the shaded area between the top and bottom bands. A lower alpha value will make the fill more transparent, while a higher value will make it more opaque, helping to highlight the envelope more clearly.
The envelopes generated by the True Envelopes indicator are designed to provide a more precise and responsive representation of price action compared to traditional methods like Bollinger Bands or Keltner Channels. The core idea behind this indicator is to create a price envelope that smoothly interpolates the significant peaks in price action, offering a more accurate depiction of support and resistance levels.
One of the critical aspects of this approach is the use of a high-pass filtered signal to identify these peaks. The high-pass filter serves as an effective method of detrending the price data, isolating the rapid fluctuations in price that are often lost in standard trend-following indicators. By filtering out the lower frequency components (i.e., the trend), the high-pass filter reveals the underlying oscillations in the price, which correspond to significant peaks and troughs. These oscillations are crucial for accurately constructing the envelope, as they represent the most responsive elements of the price movement.
The algorithm works by first applying the high-pass filter to the source price data, effectively detrending the series and isolating the high-frequency price changes. This filtered signal is then used to estimate the fundamental frequency of the price movement, which is essential for dynamically adjusting the envelope to current market conditions. By focusing on the peaks identified in the high-pass filtered signal, the algorithm generates an envelope that is both smooth and adaptive, closely following the most significant price changes without overfitting to transient noise.
Compared to traditional envelopes and bands, such as Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, the True Envelopes indicator offers several advantages. Bollinger Bands, which are based on standard deviations, and Keltner Channels, which use the average true range (ATR), both tend to react to price volatility but do not necessarily follow the peaks and troughs of the price with precision. As a result, these traditional methods can sometimes lag behind or fail to capture sudden shifts in price momentum, leading to either false signals or missed opportunities.
In contrast, the True Envelopes indicator, by using a high-pass filtered signal and a dynamic period estimation, adapts more quickly to changes in price behavior. The envelopes generated by this method are less prone to the lag that often affects standard deviation or ATR-based bands, and they provide a more accurate representation of the price's immediate oscillations. This can result in better predictive power and more reliable identification of support and resistance levels, making the True Envelopes indicator a valuable tool for traders looking for a more responsive and precise approach to market analysis.
In conclusion, the True Envelopes indicator is a powerful tool that blends advanced theoretical concepts with practical implementation, offering traders a precise and responsive way to analyze price dynamics. By adapting the True Amplitude Envelope (TAE) method through the use of a Kernel Density Estimator (KDE) and high-pass filtering, this indicator effectively captures the most significant price movements, providing a more accurate depiction of support and resistance levels compared to traditional methods like Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels. The flexible settings allow for extensive customization, ensuring the indicator can be tailored to suit various trading strategies and market conditions.
EMA Cloud Matrix with Trend Tablethis script builds upon a standard exponential moving average (ema) by adding volatility-based dynamic bands and persistent trend detection. it also enhances decision-making by including visual indicators (labels and clouds), a multi-timeframe trend table, and optional retest signals. here's an in-depth explanation:
volatility-based bands:
instead of just plotting an ema line, this script creates an upper and lower band around the ema using the average volatility (calculated as the average range of high-low over 100 bars).
the bands represent areas where price is likely to deviate significantly from the ema, signaling potential trend shifts.
persistent trend detection:
a persistent trend variable updates when price crosses above the upper band (bullish trend) or below the lower band (bearish trend). this ensures that the trend state persists until a new cross event occurs.
normal emas don't store such states—they merely provide a lagging representation of price.
visual enhancements:
a color-coded cloud dynamically highlights the area between the ema and the current trend line (upper or lower band), making trend direction clearer.
labels mark significant crossover or crossunder events, serving as potential buy or sell signals.
multi-timeframe trend table:
the table shows the trend direction (buy/sell) for the 15-minute, 4-hour, and daily timeframes, giving a broader perspective for trading decisions.
optional retest signals:
when enabled, it identifies situations where price tests the ema after trending away, providing additional opportunities for entries or exits.
first time ever - why use this and how?
why use this?
this is ideal for traders who:
struggle with trend-following strategies that lack clear entry/exit rules.
want a hybrid system combining ema-based smoothness with volatility-based adaptability.
need to visualize trends in multiple timeframes without switching charts.
how to use this?
buy signal: when the price crosses above the upper band, the trend flips to bullish. you’ll see a green upward arrow (▲) on the chart, indicating a potential long entry.
sell signal: when the price crosses below the lower band, the trend flips to bearish. a blue downward arrow (▼) appears on the chart, signaling a potential short entry.
retest signals (optional): if the price comes back to test the ema during a trend, a retest label can guide you for a secondary entry.
exit based on risk-reward ratio (rr)
this script doesn't explicitly calculate risk-reward ratios (rr), but you can manage exits effectively using the following ideas:
set a defined stop-loss:
if entering on a buy signal (crossover above upper band), place a stop below the ema or the lower band. for short signals, use the upper band as a stop.
this ensures the stop-loss dynamically adjusts with volatility.
use rr to set targets:
decide on a risk-reward ratio like 1:2 or 1:3. for example:
if your stop-loss is 20 points below your entry, set your target 40 or 60 points above for a 1:2 or 1:3 rr.
you can use trailing stops to lock in profits as the trend continues.
exit on opposite signal:
if the trend changes (e.g., price crosses below the lower band in a bullish trade), close the position.
how it gives signals and when to buy or sell
signal logic:
buy signal (bullish crossover):
when the price crosses above the upper band, the script marks it as a bullish trend and plots a green arrow (▲).
sell signal (bearish crossunder):
when the price crosses below the lower band, the script identifies it as a bearish trend and plots a blue arrow (▼).
trend continuation:
the trend state persists until the opposite condition occurs, helping you avoid noise or whipsaws.
multi-timeframe insights:
consult the trend table for confirmation across timeframes. for example:
if the 15-minute and 4-hour timeframes align with a buy trend, it strengthens the case for a long trade.
conflicting signals might suggest waiting for further confirmation.
using retest signals:
during strong trends, price often revisits the ema before resuming. if the optional retest signals are enabled, you’ll see labels at these points. they can be used to:
add to an existing position.
enter a trade if you missed the initial breakout.
key event: price crosses above the upper band
when the price closes above the upper band (ema + volatility buffer), the script identifies a bullish trend.
a green upward arrow (▲) is plotted on the chart, signaling the beginning of a long trend.
visual confirmation:
the cloud between the ema and the trend line (lower band) is filled with a light green color, representing a bullish phase.
the trend table will display "buy" with an upward arrow for the respective timeframe(s).
actionable insight:
entry: take a long position when the green ▲ appears, confirming a bullish crossover.
continuation trades: use the optional retest signals to identify pullbacks to the ema as opportunities to add to the long position.
exit: close the position when a bearish crossunder (sell signal) occurs.
identifying short trends (sell signal)
key event: price crosses below the lower band
when the price closes below the lower band (ema - volatility buffer), the script identifies a bearish trend.
a blue downward arrow (▼) is plotted on the chart, signaling the beginning of a short trend.
visual confirmation:
the cloud between the ema and the trend line (upper band) is filled with a light blue color, representing a bearish phase.
the trend table will display "sell" with a downward arrow for the respective timeframe(s).
actionable insight:
entry: take a short position when the blue ▼ appears, confirming a bearish crossunder.
continuation trades: use the optional retest signals to identify rallies back to the ema as opportunities to add to the short position.
exit: close the position when a bullish crossover (buy signal) occurs.
what makes it different from other ema indicators?
dynamic volatility adaptation:
standard ema indicators only track the average price over a given period, making them susceptible to market noise in highly volatile conditions.
this script uses a volatility buffer (average true range of high-low) to create upper and lower bands around the ema, filtering out insignificant movements and focusing on meaningful breakouts.
persistent trend logic:
unlike traditional emas that simply follow price direction, this script maintains a persistent trend state until a clear crossover or crossunder occurs:
bullish trends persist above the upper band.
bearish trends persist below the lower band.
this minimizes whipsaws in choppy markets.
visual enhancements:
the trend-colored cloud (green for long trends, blue for short trends) helps you quickly identify the market’s state.
labels (▲ and ▼) mark critical entry signals, making it easier to spot potential trades.
multi-timeframe trend confirmation:
the trend table integrates higher and lower timeframes, providing a multi-timeframe perspective:
short-term (15 minutes) for active trading.
medium-term (4 hours) for swing positions.
long-term (daily) for overall trend direction.
optional retest signals:
most ema-based strategies miss the retest phase after a breakout.
this script includes an optional feature to identify pullbacks to the ema during a trend, helping traders enter or add positions at better prices.
all-in-one system:
while traditional ema indicators only show a smoothed average line, this script integrates trend detection, volatility bands, visual aids, and multi-timeframe analysis in a single tool, reducing the need for additional indicators.
summary
this script goes beyond a simple ema by incorporating trend persistence, volatility bands, and multi-timeframe analysis. buy signals occur when price crosses above the upper band, initiating a long trend, while sell signals occur when price crosses below the lower band, initiating a short trend. it stands out due to its ability to adapt to market conditions, provide clear visual cues, and avoid the noise common in standard ema-based systems.
Johnny The Scalper - Momentum/Speed [by Oberlunar]The Johnny The Scalper indicator is designed to provide scalpers with insights into market momentum and speed dynamics by analyzing the price movement within candles. It calculates the "candle speed," defined as the range of a candle (high minus low) divided by the elapsed time in seconds since the candle opened. Users can customize the distance for comparison by specifying how many candles back the indicator should look when calculating the speed difference (`Diff`).
The script retrieves the speed of the specified candle from the past (`candle_speed_x`) and compares it to the speed of the current candle, calculating the difference (`speed_difference`). The indicator also identifies whether the current candle and the candle from the past are bullish (green) or bearish (red), using this information to interpret the dynamics of the difference.
If the difference is negative, it means the current candle's speed is slower than the reference candle's speed. A negative difference combined with candles of the same direction suggests a slowdown, while candles of opposite directions indicate a slowing reversal. A positive difference suggests that the current candle is faster. If the candles have the same direction, it signifies an acceleration in the current trend; if their directions differ, it indicates a faster reversal.
The results are displayed graphically as labels on the chart. Labels above the candles show the difference Diff with color-coded backgrounds based on the calculated dynamics:
orange for a slowdown in the same direction,
red for a slowing reversal,
green for acceleration in the same direction,
and blue for a faster reversal.
An additional label below the candle optionally displays the current candle's speed in real time. This indicator helps scalpers identify momentum shifts and potential reversals in a highly customizable manner, adapting to different trading strategies and timeframes.
RSI and Bollinger Bands Screener [deepakks444]Indicator Overview
The indicator is designed to help traders identify potential long signals by combining the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Bollinger Bands across multiple timeframes. This combination allows traders to leverage the strengths of both indicators to make more informed trading decisions.
Understanding RSI
What is RSI?
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. Developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. for stocks and forex trading, the RSI is primarily used to identify overbought or oversold conditions in an asset.
How RSI Works:
Calculation: The RSI is calculated using the average gains and losses over a specified period, typically 14 periods.
Range: The RSI oscillates between 0 and 100.
Interpretation:
Key Features of RSI:
Momentum Indicator: RSI helps identify the momentum of price movements.
Divergences: RSI can show divergences, where the price makes a higher high, but the RSI makes a lower high, indicating potential reversals.
Trend Identification: RSI can also help identify trends. In an uptrend, the RSI tends to stay above 50, and in a downtrend, it tends to stay below 50.
Understanding Bollinger Bands
What is Bollinger Bands?
Bollinger Bands are a type of trading band or envelope plotted two standard deviations (positively and negatively) away from a simple moving average (SMA) of a price. Developed by financial analyst John Bollinger, Bollinger Bands consist of three lines:
Upper Band: SMA + (Standard Deviation × Multiplier)
Middle Band (Basis): SMA
Lower Band: SMA - (Standard Deviation × Multiplier)
How Bollinger Bands Work:
Volatility Measure: Bollinger Bands measure the volatility of the market. When the bands are wide, it indicates high volatility, and when the bands are narrow, it indicates low volatility.
Price Movement: The price tends to revert to the mean (middle band) after touching the upper or lower bands.
Support and Resistance: The upper and lower bands can act as dynamic support and resistance levels.
Key Features of Bollinger Bands:
Volatility Indicator: Bollinger Bands help traders understand the volatility of the market.
Mean Reversion: Prices tend to revert to the mean (middle band) after touching the bands.
Squeeze: A Bollinger Band Squeeze occurs when the bands narrow significantly, indicating low volatility and a potential breakout.

Market Anomaly Detector (MAD)Market Anomaly Detector (MAD) Indicator - Detailed Description:
The Market Anomaly Detector (MAD) Indicator is a unique tool designed to identify potential market anomalies by combining several price action-based and momentum indicators. This indicator is especially useful for traders who seek to identify significant market shifts and anomalies before they become visible in conventional technical indicators.
Key Features of the MAD Indicator:
1. Z-Score Threshold for Anomaly Detection:
• The Z-Score measures how far a current price is from its average over a defined period, normalized by standard deviation. This allows the MAD indicator to detect outliers or anomalies in price movements.
• By adjusting the Z-Score Threshold, traders can tune the sensitivity of the indicator to capture only the most significant price deviations, filtering out noise and reducing false signals.
2. Volume and Liquidity Filter:
• Volume is a key indicator of market participation and sentiment. The MAD Indicator uses a volume multiplier to assess when price movements are supported by sufficient trading volume.
• A volume spike is identified when the current volume exceeds the average volume by a certain multiplier. This ensures that only high-confidence signals are generated, particularly useful for spotting trend reversals and breakout opportunities.
3. Signal Cooldown Period:
• To prevent overfitting and reduce false signals, a signal cooldown period is implemented. Once a buy or sell signal is triggered, the indicator waits for a specified number of bars (e.g., 5) before triggering another signal, even if the price action meets the criteria for a new signal. This helps maintain a cleaner trading environment and avoids confusion when the market is volatile.
4. Upper and Lower Bands for Trend Confirmation:
• The MAD Indicator uses bands based on the mean price and standard deviation, similar to Bollinger Bands. These upper and lower bands help to define the expected price range for a given period, indicating overbought or oversold conditions.
• The combination of Z-Score, volume, and band analysis helps pinpoint when the price breaks out of expected ranges, providing early warning signs for potential market shifts.
5. Trend Confirmation from Higher Timeframes:
• The MAD Indicator includes a multi-timeframe approach to trend confirmation, using the 50-period EMA on a higher timeframe (e.g., 1-hour chart). This ensures that signals are aligned with the overall market trend, enhancing the reliability of buy and sell signals.
How It Works:
• The MAD Indicator continuously monitors price action, volume, and statistical anomalies, using the Z-Score to determine when the price is significantly deviating from its historical average.
• When the price breaks above the upper band and a bullish anomaly is detected, a buy signal is generated. (Green Background)
• Similarly, when the price breaks below the lower band and a bearish anomaly is detected, a sell signal is triggered. (Red Background
• By filtering signals based on volume and using the cooldown period, the MAD Indicator ensures that only high-quality trades are signaled.
How to Use the MAD Indicator:
• Buy Signal: Occurs when the price breaks above the upper band and there is a significant deviation from the mean (bullish anomaly).
• Sell Signal: Occurs when the price breaks below the lower band and there is a significant deviation from the mean (bearish anomaly).
• Volume Confirmation: Ensure that the buy/sell signals are supported by a volume spike, indicating strong market participation.
• Signal Cooldown Period: After a signal is triggered, the indicator waits for the cooldown period to avoid triggering multiple signals in quick succession.
Why It’s Worth Paying For:
The MAD Indicator combines advanced statistical analysis (Z-Score), price action, and volume analysis to identify market anomalies and breakouts before they are visible on standard indicators. By leveraging the power of mean reversion and statistical anomalies, this tool provides traders with high-confidence signals that can lead to profitable trades, especially in volatile markets. The integration of a multi-timeframe trend filter ensures that signals are aligned with the overall market trend, reducing the likelihood of false breakouts.
This indicator is ideal for trend-following traders looking for high-probability entries and mean-reversion traders aiming to capture price deviations. The signal cooldown period and volume filter provide an additional layer of precision, ensuring that you only act on the strongest market signals.
BTC/USDT Volume-Based StrategyOverview
There is a distinct difference between the buying pressure exerted by individual investors and the buying pressure of institutional or "whale" traders. Monitoring volume data over a shorter period of time is crucial to distinguish these subtle differences. When whale investors or other significant market players signal price increases, volume often surges noticeably. Indeed, volume often acts as an important leading indicator in market dynamics.
Key Features
This metric, calibrated with a 5-minute Bitcoin spot chart, identifies a significant inflow of trading volume. For every K-plus surge in trading volume, those candles are shown in a green circle.
When a green circle appears, consider active long positions in subsequent declines and continue to accumulate long positions despite temporary price declines. Pay attention to the continuity of the increase in volume before locking in earnings even after the initial bullish wave.
Conversely, it may be wise to reevaluate the long position if the volume is not increasing in parallel and the price is rising. Under these conditions, starting a partial short position may be advantageous until a larger surge in volume reappears.
ATR for Aggregated Bars (2 Bars)Range Bar ATR Indicator: Detailed Description and Usage Guide
This script is a custom indicator designed specifically for Range Bar charts , tailored to help traders understand and navigate market conditions by utilizing the Average True Range (ATR) concept. The indicator adapts the traditional ATR to work effectively with Range Bar charts, where bars have a fixed range rather than being time-based.
How It Works
1. ATR Calculation on Range Bars :
- Unlike time-based charts, Range Bar charts focus on price movement within a fixed range.
- The indicator calculates ATR by pairing consecutive bars, treating every two bars as a single unit . This pairing ensures that the ATR reflects price movement effectively on Range Bar charts.
2. Short and Long Period ATR Values :
- The script displays two ATR values :
- A short-period ATR , calculated over a smaller number of paired bars.
- A long-period ATR , calculated over a larger number of paired bars.
- These values provide a dynamic view of both recent and longer-term market volatility.
Why Use This Indicator?
The primary goal is to provide a meaningful adaptation of the ATR indicator for Range Bar charts, allowing traders to make informed decisions similar to using ATR on traditional time-based charts.
Key Applications
Determine a Better Custom Range :
- Analyze the ATR values to choose an optimal range size for Range Bar charts, ensuring better alignment with market conditions.
Assess Market Volatility :
- Rising volatility : When the short-period ATR value is higher than the long-period value, it signals increasing volatility.
- Decreasing volatility : When the short-period ATR value is lower, it indicates declining volatility.
Risk and Stop Loss Management :
- Use the higher ATR value (e.g., the long-period ATR) to calculate minimum stop loss levels. Multiply the ATR by 1.5 or 2 to set a safe buffer against market fluctuations.
How to Use It
1. Add the script to a Range Bar chart.
2. Configure the short and long ATR periods to suit your trading style and preferences.
3. Observe the displayed ATR values:
- Use these values to analyze market conditions and adapt your strategy accordingly.
4. Apply insights from the ATR values for:
- Determining custom Range Bar settings.
- Evaluating volatility trends.
- Setting effective risk parameters like stop loss levels.
Benefits
- Provides a tailored ATR tool for Range Bar charts, addressing the unique challenges of fixed-range trading.
- Offers both short-term and long-term perspectives on volatility.
- Enhances decision-making for range settings, volatility analysis, and risk management.
This indicator bridges the gap between traditional ATR indicators and the specific needs of Range Bar chart users, making it a versatile tool for traders.
ka66: Candle Range MarkThis is a simple trailing stop loss tool using bar ranges, to be used with some discretion and understanding of basic price action.
Given a configurable percentage value, e.g. 25%:
A bullish bar (close > open) will be marked at the lower 25%
A bearish bar (close < open) will be marked at the upper 25%
The idea is to move your stop loss after each completed bar in the direction of the trade, at the configured percentage value.
If you have an inside bar, or something very close to it, or a doji-type bar, don't trail that, because there is no clarity of what the bar means, we can only wait.
The chart shows an example use, with trailing at 10% of the bar, from the initial stop loss after entry, trailing till we get stopped out. Some things to note:
Because this example focuses on a short trade, we ignore the bullish candles, and keep our trailing stop at the last bearish candle.
We ignore doji-esque candles and inside bars, where the body is in the range of the prior candle. Some definitions of inside bars include the wicks as well. I don't have a strong opinion, and this example is just for illustration. Furthermore, the inside bar will likely be the opposite of the swing bars (e.g. bullish bar in a range of bearish bars), so our stop remains unchanged.
One could use this semi-systematic approach in scalping on any timeframe, for example to maximise gains, adjusting the bar percentage as needed.
Algorithmic Signal AnalyzerMeet Algorithmic Signal Analyzer (ASA) v1: A revolutionary tool that ushers in a new era of clarity and precision for both short-term and long-term market analysis, elevating your strategies to the next level.
ASA is an advanced TradingView indicator designed to filter out noise and enhance signal detection using mathematical models. By processing price movements within defined standard deviation ranges, ASA produces a smoothed analysis based on a Weighted Moving Average (WMA). The Volatility Filter ensures that only relevant price data is retained, removing outliers and improving analytical accuracy.
While ASA provides significant analytical advantages, it’s essential to understand its capabilities in both short-term and long-term use cases. For short-term trading, ASA excels at capturing swift opportunities by highlighting immediate trend changes. Conversely, in long-term trading, it reveals the overall direction of market trends, enabling traders to align their strategies with prevailing conditions.
Despite these benefits, traders must remember that ASA is not designed for precise trade execution systems where accuracy in timing and price levels is critical. Its focus is on analysis rather than order management. The distinction is crucial: ASA helps interpret price action effectively but may not account for real-time market factors such as slippage or execution delays.
Features and Functionality
ASA integrates multiple tools to enhance its analytical capabilities:
Customizable Moving Averages: SMA, EMA, and WMA options allow users to tailor the indicator to their trading style.
Signal Detection: Identifies bullish and bearish trends using the Relative Exponential Moving Average (REMA) and marks potential buy/sell opportunities.
Visual Aids: Color-coded trend lines (green for upward, red for downward) simplify interpretation.
Alert System: Notifications for trend swings and reversals enable timely decision-making.
Notes on Usage
ASA’s effectiveness depends on the context in which it is applied. Traders should carefully consider the trade-offs between analysis and execution.
Results may vary depending on market conditions and chart types. Backtesting with ASA on standard charts provides more reliable insights compared to non-standard chart types.
Short-term use focuses on rapid trend recognition, while long-term application emphasizes understanding broader market movements.
Takeaways
ASA is not a tool for precise trade execution but a powerful aid for interpreting price trends.
For short-term trading, ASA identifies quick opportunities, while for long-term strategies, it highlights trend directions.
Understanding ASA’s limitations and strengths is key to maximizing its utility.
ASA is a robust solution for traders seeking to filter noise, enhance analytical clarity, and align their strategies with market movements, whether for short bursts of activity or sustained trading goals.

Super Oscillator with Alerts by BigBlueCheeseSuper Oscillator with Alerts (by BigBlueCheese)
I got sick of eyeballing multiple oscillators generating output on different scales and interpreting them on the fly, so I picked 4 of my favs, 2 fisher transforms (fast & slow) The Squeeze & my own Market Rhythm Oscillator & made the Super Oscillator with Alerts which combines multiple indicators and oscillators to analyze market conditions and generate actionable trading signals.
The output is buy/sell/neutral signals and a color coded table summarizing indicator states (strong buy to strong sell etc). The color legend can be disabled once you get used to the color codes. The user can choose to watch the table output and its changing output, OR unclutter their screen by toggling the table off & just watching for the signals SO+ (buy), SO-(sell), SO?(neutral)
The combined signals are run through a scoring and weighting scheme that utilizes each indicators Z-scores, Min-Max normalization, and raw values which are all used in different parts of the scoring process.
A velocity filter (for more immediate/sensitive response) is available for the user to toggle on/off. The raw indicator values are classified into categories reflecting their current strength and are assigned momentum points.
Z-scores measure how far each oscillator's current value deviates from its mean in terms of standard deviations. Basically, the Z-scores focus on relative behavior, while momentum captures directional trends. Together, they provide a more nuanced view of market conditions. Large Z-scores increase the likelihood of stronger signals. The idea is to are amplify influence in extreme conditions whereas low Z scores will have minimal impact on the cumulative score, making signals less prone to noise.
Inputs and Their Contributions
1. Momentum: Controlled by the raw oscillator values and thresholds.
2. Min-Max: Automatically calculated based on the historical range of oscillators.
3. Velocity: Input: useVelocity (true/false) toggle. Weights: User-defined weights for velocity contribution.
4. Z-Score: Input: useZScore (true/false) toggle. Weights: User-defined weights for Z-score contribution.
The system combines momentum, Min-Max normalization, (and if enabled) velocity, and Z-scores, to generate dynamic and actionable trading signals that appear as markers on the chart indicating buy, sell, and neutral signals.
Alerts can also be triggered based on these signals.
Users can customize the weighting and inclusion of velocity and Z-scores to align the scoring system with their trading strategy and preferences.
If there is enough interest for some other preferred oscillator, I will substitute it for out my Market Rhythm Oscillator & republish with the code. LMK
For the curious out there, the Market Rhythm Oscillator (MRO) is a custom oscillator that analyzes price dynamics using a combination of weighted volatility-based calculations. It helps measure price momentum and potential exhaustion levels by identifying high and low volatility regions.
• Purpose: The MRO is particularly effective at identifying market trends and potential reversals by analyzing price extremes and their behavior over a defined lookback period.
• Calculation Components might include:
o Waveform Volatility Factor (WVF): Measures the price's deviation from its highest or lowest values within a given period.
o Bands and Smoothing:
Upper and lower bands based on standard deviations of WVF.
Smoothing is applied to the WVF for better trend clarity.
o Exhaustion Levels: Uses the MRO's trend length to calculate when the price action may become overextended.
Happy hunting but as always, not a trade recommendation, past results not indicative of future results, DYOR!

The Dragons Maw [inspired by Kioseff Trading]The Dragon's Maw is a playful visualization tool that uses Monte Carlo simulation to create a dragon-like pattern on your chart. Although primarily intended for entertainment, it is also suitable for testing or falsifying the utility of this method's predictions.
What It Does:
- Generates multiple price path simulations that form the shape of a "fire-breathing" effect
- Shows upper and lower boundaries of all simulations as the dragon's "maw"
- Displays the dragon's "eye" and "ear" as a visual indicator of the historical data used
How It Works:
1. The indicator calculates returns from historical price data
2. Using Monte Carlo simulation with either normal distribution or bootstrap sampling, it generates multiple potential price paths
3. These paths are rendered with high transparency to create a fire/smoke effect showing the higher probability regions as denser color
4. It can be observed that the direction of the "fire" is influenced by recent price movement especially when set in relation to the "eye" position which indicates the limit of historical data used for the simulation
Educational Value:
Use the 'Move to the Left' parameter to position the dragon's head at different points in historical data. This feature serves as an excellent demonstration of the limitations of statistical price projections – you'll quickly see how the simulated paths diverge from what actually happened, highlighting why such projections should not be relied upon for trading decisions.
You might find, that it's not at all capable of 'predicting' sudden price movements but rather 'predicts' a continuation of the recent trend.
Features:
- Adjustable number of simulations (affects detail of the "fire" effect)
- Moveable dragon head (can be positioned at different points in price history)
- Customizable colors for the maw boundaries and fire effect
- Optional scale display for price levels
Note: This indicator is inspired by KioseffTrading's original work, with added features for visualization and positioning. While it uses statistical methods, it should be viewed as an artistic interpretation of price movement rather than a predictive tool.
Settings Guide:
- Upper/Lower Limit: Colors for the dragon's maw boundaries
- Fire Color: Color and transparency of the simulation paths
- Look Back: How far back to calculate the dragon's eye position
- Much Fire: Controls the density of simulation paths
- Length: Determines how far forward the simulation extends
The chart shows a clean view of the indicator's output, with the dragon's eye (o), ear, maw boundaries, and fire effect clearly visible on the right side of the chart by default.
Overnight Effect High Volatility Crypto (AiBitcoinTrend)👽 Overview of the Strategy
This strategy leverages the overnight effect in the cryptocurrency market, specifically targeting the two-hour window from 21:00 UTC to 23:00 UTC. The strategy is designed to be applied only during periods of high volatility, which is determined using historical volatility data. This approach, inspired by research from Padyšák and Vojtko (2022), aims to capitalize on statistically significant return patterns observed during these hours.
Deep Backtesting with a High Volatility Filter
Deep Backtesting without a High Volatility Filter
👽 How the Strategy Works
Volatility Calculation:
Each day at 00:00 UTC, the strategy calculates the 30-day historical volatility of crypto returns (typically Bitcoin). The historical volatility is the standard deviation of the log returns over the past 30 days, representing the market's recent volatility level.
Median Volatility Benchmark:
The median of the 30-day historical volatility is calculated over a 365-day period (one year). This median acts as a benchmark to classify each day as either:
👾 High Volatility: When the current 30-day volatility exceeds the median volatility.
👾 Low Volatility: When the current 30-day volatility is below the median.
Trading Rule:
If the day is classified as a High Volatility Day, the strategy executes the following trades:
👾 Buy at 21:00 UTC.
👾 Sell at 23:00 UTC.
Trade Execution Details:
The strategy uses a 0.02% fee per trade.
Each trade is executed with 25% of the available capital. This allocation helps manage risk while allowing for compounding returns.
Rationale:
The returns during the 22:00 and 23:00 UTC hours have been found to be statistically significant during high volatility periods. The overnight effect is believed to drive this phenomenon due to the asynchronous closing hours of global financial markets. This creates unique trading opportunities in the cryptocurrency market, where exchanges remain open 24/7.
👽 Market Context and Global Time Zone Impact
👾 Why 21:00 to 23:00 UTC?
During this window, major traditional financial markets are closed:
NYSE (New York) closes at 21:00 UTC.
London and European markets are closed during these hours.
Asian markets (Tokyo, Hong Kong, etc.) open later, leaving this window largely unaffected by traditional trading flows.
This global market inactivity creates a period where significant moves can occur in the cryptocurrency market, particularly during high volatility.
👽 Strategy Parameters
Volatility Period: 30 days.
The lookback period for calculating historical volatility.
Median Period: 365 days.

Exit Time: 23:00 UTC.
Adjust this to your local time if necessary (e.g., 18:00 in New York, 00:00 midnight in Stockholm).
👽 Benefits of the Strategy
Seasonality Effect:
The strategy captures consistent patterns driven by the overnight effect and high volatility periods.
Risk Reduction:
Since trades are executed during a specific window and only on high volatility days, the strategy helps mitigate exposure to broader market risk.
Simplicity and Efficiency:
The strategy is moderately complex, making it accessible for traders while offering significant returns.
Global Applicability:
Suitable for traders worldwide, with clear guidelines on adjusting for local time zones.
👽 Considerations

- Daily start time
- Can be hidden on daily/weekly/monthly timeframes if desired
Band Structure:
- Band 1 (innermost): ±1 standard deviation
- Band 2 (middle): ±2 standard deviations
- Band 3 (outermost): ±3 standard deviations
- Midlines at 0.5σ intervals between bands
- All bands can be individually enabled/disabled
Customization Options:
1. Band calculation modes:
- Standard Deviation based
- Percentage based
2. Visual settings:
- Customizable colors for all elements
- Adjustable line widths
- Optional labels with configurable size

- Trend direction confirmation
The indicator essentially creates a dynamic support/resistance structure that adapts to market volatility and volume, making it useful for both intraday and swing trading strategies.
300-Candle Weighted Average Zones w/50 EMA SignalsThis indicator is designed to deliver a more nuanced view of price dynamics by combining a custom, weighted price average with a volatility-based zone and a trend filter (in this case, a 50-period exponential moving average). The core concept revolves around capturing the overall price level over a relatively large lookback window (300 candles) but with an intentional bias toward recent market activity (the most recent 20 candles), thereby offering a balance between long-term context and short-term responsiveness. By smoothing this weighted average and establishing a “zone” of standard deviation bands around it, the indicator provides a refined visualization of both average price and its recent volatility envelope. Traders can then look for confluence with a standard trend filter, such as the 50 EMA, to identify meaningful crossover signals that may represent trend shifts or opportunities for entry and exit.
What the Indicator Does:
Weighted Price Average:
Instead of using a simple or exponential moving average, this indicator calculates a custom weighted average price over the past 300 candles. Most historical candles receive a base weight of 1.0, but the most recent 20 candles are assigned a higher weight (for example, a weight of 2.0). This weighting scheme ensures that the calculation is not simply a static lookback average; it actively emphasizes current market conditions. The effect is to generate an average line that is more sensitive to the most recent price swings while still maintaining the historical context of the previous 280 candles.
Smoothing of the Weighted Average:
Once the raw weighted average is computed, an exponential smoothing function (EMA) is applied to reduce noise and produce a cleaner, more stable average line. This smoothing helps traders avoid reacting prematurely to minor price fluctuations. By stabilizing the average line, traders can more confidently identify actual shifts in market direction.
Volatility Zone via Standard Deviation Bands:
To contextualize how far price can deviate from this weighted average, the indicator uses standard deviation. Standard deviation is a statistical measure of volatility—how spread out the price values are around the mean. By adding and subtracting one standard deviation from the smoothed weighted average, the indicator plots an upper band and a lower band, creating a zone or channel. The area between these bands is filled, often with a semi-transparent color, highlighting a volatility corridor within which price and the EMA might oscillate.
This zone is invaluable in visualizing “normal” price behavior. When the 50 EMA line and the weighted average line are both within this volatility zone, it indicates that the market’s short- to mid-term trend and its average pricing are aligned well within typical volatility bounds.
Incorporation of a 50-Period EMA:
The inclusion of a commonly used trend filter, the 50 EMA, adds another layer of context to the analysis. The 50 EMA, being a widely recognized moving average length, is often considered a baseline for intermediate trend bias. It reacts faster than a long-term average (like a 200 EMA) but is still stable enough to filter out the market “chop” seen in very short-term averages.
By overlaying the 50 EMA on this custom weighted average and the surrounding volatility zone, the trader gains a dual-dimensional perspective:
Trend Direction: If the 50 EMA is generally above the weighted average, the short-term trend is gaining bullish momentum; if it’s below, the short-term trend has a bearish tilt.
Volatility Normalization: The bands, constructed from standard deviations, provide a sense of whether the price and the 50 EMA are operating within a statistically “normal” range. If the EMA crosses the weighted average within this zone, it signals a potential trend initiation or meaningful shift, as opposed to a random price spike outside normal volatility boundaries.
Why a Trader Would Want to Use This Indicator:
Contextualized Price Level:
Standard MAs may not fully incorporate the most recent price dynamics in a large lookback window. By weighting the most recent candles more heavily, this indicator ensures that the trader is always anchored to what the market is currently doing, not just what it did 100 or 200 candles ago.
Reduced Whipsaw with Smoothing:
The smoothed weighted average line reduces noise, helping traders filter out inconsequential price movements. This makes it easier to spot genuine changes in trend or sentiment.
Visual Volatility Gauge:
The standard deviation bands create a visual representation of “normal” price movement. Traders can quickly assess if a breakout or breakdown is statistically significant or just another oscillation within the expected volatility range.
Clear Trade Signals with Confirmation:
By integrating the 50 EMA and designing signals that trigger only when the 50 EMA crosses above or below the weighted average while inside the zone, the indicator provides a refined entry/exit criterion. This avoids chasing breakouts that occur in abnormal volatility conditions and focuses on those crossovers likely to have staying power.
How to Use It in an Example Strategy:
Imagine you are a swing trader looking to identify medium-term trend changes. You apply this indicator to a chart of a popular currency pair or a leading tech stock. Over the past few days, the 50 EMA has been meandering around the weighted average line, both confined within the standard deviation zone.
Bullish Example:
Suddenly, the 50 EMA crosses decisively above the weighted average line while both are still hovering within the volatility zone. This might be your cue: you interpret this crossover as the 50 EMA acknowledging the recent upward shift in price dynamics that the weighted average has highlighted. Since it occurred inside the normal volatility range, it’s less likely to be a head-fake. You place a long position, setting an initial stop just below the lower band to protect against volatility.
If the price continues to rise and the EMA stays above the average, you have confirmation to hold the trade. As the price moves higher, the weighted average may follow, reinforcing your bullish stance.
Bearish Example:
On the flip side, if the 50 EMA crosses below the weighted average line within the zone, it suggests a subtle but meaningful change in trend direction to the downside. You might short the asset, placing your protective stop just above the upper band, expecting that the statistically “normal” level of volatility will contain the price action. If the price does break above those bands later, it’s a sign your trade may not work out as planned.
Other Indicators for Confluence:
To strengthen the reliability of the signals generated by this weighted average zone approach, traders may want to combine it with other technical studies:
Volume Indicators (e.g., Volume Profile, OBV):
Confirm that the trend crossover inside the volatility zone is supported by volume. For instance, an uptrend crossover combined with increasing On-Balance Volume (OBV) or volume spikes on up candles signals stronger buying pressure behind the price action.
Momentum Oscillators (e.g., RSI, Stochastics):
Before taking a crossover signal, check if the RSI is above 50 and rising for bullish entries, or if the Stochastics have turned down from overbought levels for bearish entries. Momentum confirmation can help ensure that the trend change is not just an isolated random event.
Market Structure Tools (e.g., Pivot Points, Swing High/Low Analysis):
Identify if the crossover event coincides with a break of a previous pivot high or low. A bullish crossover inside the zone aligned with a break above a recent swing high adds further strength to your conviction. Conversely, a bearish crossover confirmed by a breakdown below a previous swing low can make a short trade setup more compelling.
Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP):
Comparing where the weighted average zone lies relative to VWAP can provide institutional insight. If the bullish crossover happens while the price is also holding above VWAP, it can mean that the average participant in the market is in profit and that the trend is likely supported by strong hands.
This indicator serves as a tool to balance long-term perspective, short-term adaptability, and volatility normalization. It can be a valuable addition to a trader’s toolkit, offering enhanced clarity and precision in detecting meaningful shifts in trend, especially when combined with other technical indicators and robust risk management principles.
