+ ATR Table and BracketsHi, all. I'm back with a new indicator—one I firmly believe could be one of the most valuable indicators you keep in your indicator toolshed—based around true range.
This is a simple, streamlined indicator utilizing true range and average true range that will help any trader with stoploss, trailing stoploss, and take-profit placement—things that I know many traders use average true range for. It could also be useful for trade entries as well, depending on the trader's style.
Typically, most traders (or at least what I've seen recommended across websites, video tutorials on YouTube, etc.) are taught to simply take the ATR number and use that, and possibly some sort of multiplier, as your stoploss and take-profit. This is fine, but I thought that it might be possible to dive a bit deeper into these values. Because an average is a combination of values, some higher, some lower, and we often see ATR spikes during periods of high volatility, I thought wouldn't it be useful to know what value those ATR spikes are, and how do they relate to the ATR? Then I thought to myself, well, what about the most volatile candle within that ATR (the candle with the greatest true range)? Couldn't knowing that value be useful to a trader? So then the idea of a table displaying these values, along with the ATR and the ATR times some multiplier number, would be a useful, simple way to display this information. That's what we have here.
The table is made up of two columns, one with the name of the metric being measured, and the other with its value. That's it. Simple.
As nice as this was, I thought an additional, great, and perhaps better, way to visualize this information would be in the form of brackets extending from the current bar. These are simply lines/labels plotted at the price values of the ATR, ATR times X, highest ATR, highest ATR times X, and highest TR value. These labels supply the actual values of the ATR, etc., but may also display the price if you should choose (both of these values are toggleable in the 'Inputs' section of the indicator.). Additionally, you can choose to display none of these labels, or all five if you wish (leaves the chart a bit cluttered, as shown in the image below), though I suspect you'll determine your preferences for which information you'd like to see and which not.
Chart with all five lines/labels displayed. I adjusted the ATRX value to 3 just to make the screenshot as legible as possible. Default is set to 1.5. As you can see, the label doesn't show the multiplier number, but the table does.
Here's a screenshot of the labels showing the price in addition to the value of the ATR, set to "Previous Closing Price," (see next paragraph for what that means) and highest TR. Personally, I don't see the value in the displaying the price, but I thought some people might want that. It's not available in the table as of now, but perhaps if I get enough requests for it I will add it.
That's basically it, but one last detail I need to go over is the dropdown box labeled "Bar Value ATR Levels are Oriented To." Firstly, this has no effect on Highest ATR, Highest ATRX, and Highest TR levels. Those are based on the ATR up to the last closed candle, meaning they aren't including the value of the currently open candle (this would be useless). However, knowing that different traders trade different ways it seemed to me prudent to allow for traders to select which opening or closing value the trader wishes to have the ATR brackets based on. For example, as someone who has consumed much No Nonsense Forex content I know that traders are urged to enter their trades in the last fifteen minutes of the trading day because the ATR is unlikely to change significantly in that period (ATR being the centerpiece of NNFX money management), so one of three selections here is to plot the brackets based on the ATR's inclusion of this value (this of course means the brackets will move while the candle is still open). The other options are to set the brackets to the current opening price, or the previous closing price. Depending on what you're trading many times these prices are virtually identical, but sometimes price gaps (stocks in particular), so, wanting your brackets placed relative to the previous close as opposed to the current open might be preferable for some traders.
And that's it. I really hope you guys like this indicator. I haven't seen anything closely similar to it on TradingView, and I think it will be something you all will find incredibly handy.
Please enjoy!

ATR Stop-Loss with Fibonacci Take-Profit [jpkxyz]ATR Stop-Loss with Fibonacci Take-Profit Indicator
This comprehensive indicator combines Average True Range (ATR) volatility analysis with Fibonacci extensions to create dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels. It's designed to help traders set precise risk management levels and profit targets based on market volatility and mathematical ratios.
Two Operating Modes
Default Mode (Rolling Levels)
In default mode, the indicator continuously plots evolving stop-loss and take-profit levels based on real-time price action. These levels update dynamically as new bars form, creating rolling horizontal lines across the chart. I use this mode primarily to plot the rolling ATR-Level which I use to trail my Stop-Loss into profit.
Characteristics:
Levels recalculate with each new bar
All selected Fibonacci levels display simultaneously
Uses plot() functions with trackprice=true for price tracking
Custom Anchor Mode (Fixed Levels)
This is the primary mode for precision trading. You select a specific timestamp (typically your entry bar), and the indicator locks all calculations to that exact moment, creating fixed horizontal lines that represent your actual trade levels.
Characteristics:
Entry line (blue) marks your anchor point
Stop-loss calculated using ATR from the anchor bar
Fibonacci levels projected from entry-to-stop distance
Lines terminate when price breaks through them
Includes comprehensive alert system
Core Calculation Logic
ATR Stop-Loss Calculation:
Stop Loss = Entry Price ± (ATR × Multiplier)
Long positions: SL = Entry - (ATR × Multiplier)
Short positions: SL = Entry + (ATR × Multiplier)
ATR uses your chosen smoothing method (RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA)
Default multiplier is 1.5, adjustable to your risk tolerance
Fibonacci Take-Profit Projection:
The distance from entry to stop-loss becomes the base unit (1.0) for Fibonacci extensions:
TP Level = Entry + (Entry-to-SL Distance × Fibonacci Ratio)
Available Fibonacci Levels:
Conservative: 0.618, 1.0, 1.618
Extended: 2.618, 3.618, 4.618
Complete range: 0.0 to 4.764 (23 levels total)
Multi-Timeframe Functionality
One of the indicator's most powerful features is timeframe flexibility. You can analyze on one timeframe while using stop-loss and take-profit calculations from another.
Best Practices:
Identify your entry point on execution timeframe
Enable "Custom Anchor" mode
Set anchor timestamp to your entry bar
Select appropriate analysis timeframe
Choose relevant Fibonacci levels
Enable alerts for automated notifications
Example Scenario:
Analyse trend on 4-hour chart
Execute entry on 5-minute chart for precision
Set custom anchor to your 5-minute entry bar
Configure timeframe setting to "4h" for swing-level targets
Select appropriate Fibonacci Extension levels
Result: Precise entry with larger timeframe risk management
Visual Intelligence System
Line Behaviour in Custom Anchor Mode:
Active levels: Lines extend to the right edge
Hit levels: Lines terminate at the breaking bar
Entry line: Always visible in blue
Stop-loss: Red line, terminates when hit
Take-profits: Green lines (1.618 level in gold for emphasis)
Customisation Options:
Line width (1-4 pixels)
Show/hide individual Fibonacci levels
ATR length and smoothing method
ATR multiplier for stop-loss distance

Price Extension from 8 EMAOverview
This indicator can be used to see how far away the price is from the 8 EMA. It compares this to the Average Daily Range % to see if the stock may be overextended. The "Extension Multiplier" represents how far the stock is extended away from the 8 EMA.
Core Concept
This indicator is best used for breakout trades that are trying to make sure they are not chasing the stock.
How to Use This Indicator
This tool is primarily intended for analyzing daily charts of individual stocks and is often used by breakout traders to evaluate potential entry areas.
If the stock is far away from the 8 EMA, it is likely not ready to break out. If it is close to the 8ema, it could be ready to move higher.
This indicator can also be used in the opposite way. For example, shorting or puts.
Understanding the colors
Green (Not Extended): Indicates the price is close to the 8 EMA. This often corresponds to periods of consolidation.
Yellow (Slightly Extended): The price is beginning to move away from the 8 EMA.
Orange (Extended): The price has moved a considerable distance from the 8 EMA.
Red (Very Extended): The price is at an extreme distance from the 8 EMA, historically increasing the likelihood of a pullback or consolidation.
Settings
Info Row Position: Adjusts the vertical position of the display table on the chart. Useful when using other indicators.
ADR Length: Sets the lookback period for calculating the Average Daily Range. Or the average range % for different timeframes.
Timeframe: Determines the timeframe for the EMA and ADR calculation (the default is Daily).
ATRWhat the Indicator Shows:
A compact table with four cells is displayed in the bottom-left corner of the chart:
| ATR | % | Level | Lvl+ATR |
Explanation of the Columns:
ATR — The averaged daily range (volatility) calculated with filtering of abnormal bars (extremely large or small daily candles are ignored).
% — The percentage of the daily ATR that the price has already covered today (the difference between the daily Open and Close relative to ATR).
Level — A custom user-defined level set through the indicator settings.
Lvl+ATR — The sum of the daily ATR and the user-defined level. This can be used, for example, as a target or stop-loss reference.
Color Highlighting of the "%" Cell:
The background color of the "%" ATR cell changes depending on the value:
✅ If the value is less than 10% — the cell is green (market is calm, small movement).
➖ If the value is between 10% and 50% — no highlighting (average movement, no signal).
🟡 If the value is between 50% and 70% — the cell is yellow (movement is increasing, be alert).
🔴 If the value is above 70% — the cell is red (the market is actively moving, high volatility).
Key Features:
✔ All ATR calculations and percentage progress are performed strictly based on daily data, regardless of the chart's current timeframe.
✔ The indicator is ideal for intraday traders who want to monitor daily volatility levels.
✔ The table always displays up-to-date information for quick decision-making.
✔ Filtering of abnormal bars makes ATR more stable and objective.
What is Adaptive ATR in this Indicator:
Instead of the classic ATR, which simply averages the true range, this indicator uses a custom algorithm:
✅ It analyzes daily bars over the past 100 days.
✅ Calculates the range High - Low for each bar.
✅ If the bar's range deviates too much from the average (more than 1.8 times higher or lower), the bar is considered abnormal and ignored.
✅ Only "normal" bars are included in the calculation.
✅ The average range of these normal bars is the adaptive ATR.
Detailed Algorithm of the getAdaptiveATR() Function:
The function takes the number of bars to include in the calculation (for example, 5):
The average of the last 5 normal bars is calculated.
pinescript

Редактировать
adaptiveATR = getAdaptiveATR(5)
Step-by-Step Process:
An empty array ranges is created to store the ranges.
Daily bars with indices from 1 to 100 are iterated over.
For each bar:
🔹 The daily High and Low with the required offset are loaded via request.security().
🔹 The range High - Low is calculated.
🔹 The temporary average range of the current array is calculated.
🔹 The bar is checked for abnormality (too large or too small).
🔹 If the bar is normal or it's the first bar — its range is added to the array.
Once the array accumulates the required number of bars (count), their average is calculated — this is the adaptive ATR.
If it's not possible to accumulate the required number of bars — na is returned.
Что показывает индикатор:
На графике внизу слева отображается компактная таблица из четырех ячеек:
ATR % Уровень Ур+ATR
Пояснения к столбцам:
ATR — усреднённый дневной диапазон (волатильность), рассчитанный с фильтрацией аномальных баров (слишком большие или маленькие дневные свечи игнорируются).
% — процент дневного ATR, который уже "прошла" цена на текущий день (разница между открытием и закрытием относительно ATR).
Уровень — пользовательский уровень, который задаётся вручную через настройки индикатора.
Ур+ATR — сумма уровня и дневного ATR. Может использоваться, например, как ориентир для целей или стопов.
Цветовая подсветка ячейки "%":
Цвет фона ячейки с процентом ATR меняется в зависимости от значения:
✅ Если значение меньше 10% — ячейка зелёная (рынок пока спокоен, маленькое движение).
➖ Если значение от 10% до 50% — фон не подсвечивается (среднее движение, нет сигнала).
🟡 Если значение от 50% до 70% — ячейка жёлтая (движение усиливается, повышенное внимание).
🔴 Если значение выше 70% — ячейка красная (рынок активно движется, высокая волатильность).
Особенности работы:
✔ Все расчёты ATR и процентного прохождения производятся исключительно по дневным данным, независимо от текущего таймфрейма графика.
✔ Индикатор подходит для трейдеров, которые торгуют внутри дня, но хотят ориентироваться на дневные уровни волатильности.
✔ В таблице всегда отображается актуальная информация для принятия быстрых торговых решений.
✔ Фильтрация аномальных баров делает ATR более устойчивым и объективным.
Что такое адаптивный ATR в этом индикаторе
Вместо классического ATR, который просто усредняет истинный диапазон, здесь используется собственный алгоритм:
✅ Он берет дневные бары за последние 100 дней.
✅ Для каждого из них рассчитывает диапазон High - Low.
✅ Если диапазон бара слишком сильно отличается от среднего (более чем в 1.8 раза больше или меньше), бар считается аномальным и игнорируется.
✅ Только нормальные бары попадают в расчёт.
✅ В итоге считается среднее из диапазонов этих нормальных баров — это и есть адаптивный ATR.
Подробный алгоритм функции getAdaptiveATR()
Функция принимает количество баров для расчёта (например, 5):
Считается 5 последних нормальных баров
pinescript
Копировать
Редактировать
adaptiveATR = getAdaptiveATR(5)
Пошагово:
Создаётся пустой массив ranges для хранения диапазонов.
Перебираются дневные бары с индексами от 1 до 100.
Для каждого бара:
🔹 Через request.security() подгружаются дневные High и Low с нужным смещением.
🔹 Считается диапазон High - Low.
🔹 Считается временное среднее диапазона по текущему массиву.
🔹 Проверяется, не является ли бар аномальным (слишком большой или маленький).
🔹 Если бар нормальный или это самый первый бар — его диапазон добавляется в массив.
Как только массив набирает заданное количество баров (count), берётся их среднее значение — это и есть адаптивный ATR.
Если не удалось набрать нужное количество баров — возвращается na.
KosATRWhat this Pine Script does:
✅ This indicator displays daily ATR (Average True Range) information on any chart timeframe (minutes, hours, etc.), ensuring the calculations are based strictly on daily price data.
Displayed Information in the Table:
The script creates a table in the bottom-left corner of the chart that shows:
ATR — A custom, filtered version of the daily ATR that excludes abnormal price bars (extremely large or small daily ranges).
% — The percentage of the ATR that today's price movement (Open to Close) has covered so far.
Level — A manually defined fixed level, set through the script's input.
Level + ATR — The sum of the daily ATR and your defined level, useful for setting price targets or alerts.
Key Features:
Uses request.security() to ensure all calculations (high, low, open, close) are taken from the daily timeframe, even when you're viewing lower or higher timeframes.
Implements a filtering method to calculate an "adaptive ATR," ignoring price ranges that are too large or too small (outliers), making the ATR value more stable and realistic.
Displays a live, easy-to-read table directly on the chart for quick reference during trading.
Summary:
This script provides traders with reliable, daily-based ATR data, helping assess current price movement strength relative to historical daily volatility. It's especially useful for intraday traders who want constant awareness of daily ATR levels, regardless of their current chart timeframe.
Volatility Strategy 01a quantitative volatility strategy (especially effective in trend direction on the 15min chart on the s&p-index)
the strategy is a rule-based setup, which dynamically adapts to the implied volatility structure (vx1!–vx2!)
context-dependent mean reversion strategy based on multiple timeframes in the vix index
a signal is provided under following conditions:
1. the vvix/vix spread has deviated significantly beyond one standard deviation
2. the vix is positioned above or below 3 moving averages on 3 minor timeframes
3. the trade direction is derived from the projected volatility regime, measured via vx1! and vx2! (cboe)
Options Strategy V1.3📈 Options Strategy V1.3 — EMA Crossover + RSI + ATR + Opening Range
Overview:
This strategy is designed for short-term directional trades on large-cap stocks or ETFs, especially when trading options. It combines classic trend-following signals with momentum confirmation, volatility-based risk management, and session timing filters to help identify high-probability entries with predefined stop-loss and profit targets.
🔍 Strategy Components:
EMA Crossover (Fast/Slow)
Entry signals are triggered by the crossover of a short EMA above or below a long EMA — a traditional trend-following method to detect shifts in momentum.
RSI Filter
RSI confirms the signal by avoiding entries in overbought/oversold zones unless certain momentum conditions are met.
Long entry requires RSI ≥ Long Threshold
Short entry requires RSI ≤ Short Threshold
ATR-Based SL & TP
Stop-loss is set dynamically as a multiple of ATR below (long) or above (short) the entry price.
Take-profit is placed as a ratio (TP/SL) of the stop distance, ensuring consistent reward/risk structure.
Opening Range Filter (Optional)
If enabled, the strategy only triggers trades after price breaks out of the 09:30–09:45 EST range, ensuring participation in directional moves.
Session Filters
No trades from 04:00 to 09:30 and from 16:00 to 20:00 EST, avoiding low-liquidity periods.
All open trades are closed at 15:55 EST, to avoid overnight risk or expiration issues for options.

EMA/ATR/RSIThis indicator overlays three key technical measures—Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Average True Range (ATR), and a custom-scaled Relative Strength Index (RSI)—on your price chart, all using the same lookback period.
Features
• EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Smooths price action to highlight trend direction.
• ATR (Average True Range): Measures market volatility via an RMA-smoothed True Range.
• RSI (Modified): Scales the standard RSI by subtracting 35 and multiplying by 2, shifting the baseline for clearer momentum signals.
Inputs
• period (integer): Lookback length for EMA, ATR, and RSI calculations (default: 14).
How to Use
1. Adjust period to suit your preferred timeframe (e.g., 14 for daily charts, 7 for intraday).
2. Use the EMA line to identify trend direction and dynamic support/resistance.
3. Monitor ATR to gauge changing volatility—wider bands signal stronger moves.
4. Watch the modified RSI crossovers around zero:
• Above 0: Bullish momentum
• Below 0: Bearish momentum
Combine these three overlays to refine entries, exits, and stop-loss placement based on trend strength, volatility, and momentum all in one view.
Dynamic Volatility Channel (DVC) - Smooth
The indicator's adaptability comes from a unique blend of well-known concepts:
The Adaptive Engine (ADX): The indicator uses the Average Directional Index (ADX) in the background to analyze the strength of the trend. This acts as the "brain", telling the channel whether the market is trending strongly or moving sideways.
Hybrid Volatility: This is the core of the indicator. The width of the channel is determined by a weighted mix of two volatility measures:
In trending markets (high ADX), the channel gives more weight to the Average True Range (ATR).
In ranging markets (low ADX), the channel gives more weight to Standard Deviation.
Smooth Centerline (HMA): The channel is centered around a Hull Moving Average (HMA), which is known for its smoothness and reduced lag compared to other moving averages.
Advanced Smoothing Layers: This version includes dedicated smoothing for both the volatility components (ATR and StDev) and the logic that switches between regimes. This ensures the channel expands, contracts, and adapts in a very fluid manner, eliminating sudden jumps and reducing market noise.
Mean Reversion: In ranging markets (indicated by a flatter channel), the outer bands can act as dynamic support and resistance levels. Look for opportunities to sell near the upper band and buy near the lower band, always waiting for price action confirmation like reversal candles.
Trend Following: In strong trends (indicated by a steeply sloped channel), the centerline (HMA) often serves as a dynamic level of support (in an uptrend) or resistance (in a downtrend). Pullbacks to the centerline can present opportunities to join the trend. A "band ride," where price action consistently pushes against the upper or lower band, signals a very strong trend.
Volatility Analysis: A "squeeze," where the bands come very close together, indicates low volatility and can foreshadow a significant price breakout. A sudden expansion of the bands signals an increase in volatility and the potential start of a new, powerful move.
All core parameters are fully customizable to suit your trading style and preferred assets:
You can adjust the lengths for the HMA, ATR, StDev, and the ADX filter.
You can change the multipliers for the ATR and Standard Deviation components.
Crucially, you can control the Volatility Smoothing Length and Logic Smoothing Length to find the perfect balance between responsiveness and smoothness.

Doji Ashi v2.0 (with SL & TP levels)This is a version of @SassyStonks Doji Ashi v2.0 that includes ATR based SL levels with adjustable R:R TP levels.
What is Doji Ashi v2.0?
This indicator is designed for short-term intraday momentum trading, offering Buy and Sell signals based on a refined combination of filters including:
Trend alignment with daily SMAs
Momentum confirmation using EMA 3/8 cross
Relative volume to identify activity spikes
VWAP positioning to confirm trend consistency
Time filters to avoid unreliable early market chop
It adapts dynamically depending on whether you’re trading Stocks or Crypto, with appropriate filters toggled automatically.
...
How the Script Works
Core Logic:
A Buy signal appears when:
The price is in an uptrend (via SMAs)
VWAP and volume confirm momentum
EMA 3 crosses above EMA 8
Relative strength is strong (if enabled)
Market opens past first 30 mins
A Sell signal appears when:
The asset shows weakness across these same filters, in reverse
You’ll see green “BUY” or red “SELL” markers on your chart instantly when the full condition set is met. This script does not repaint.
Entry Logic Options:
Choose between:
"Cross" mode: Signals appear on 3/8 EMA crossover
"Above/Below" mode: Persistent signal while 3 EMA stays above/below 8 EMA
...
Strategy for Consistent Gains
This script works best on liquid stocks such as LUNR, ASTS and PLUG. It also works with Crypto. Make sure you choose the correct indicator setup type (Stocks or Crypto) in the setting before testing.
If you don't see any signals the default settings may be too strict for your chosen stock. Have a play with the settings to find the right balance for you. The default settings follow the strategy below for what I believe are currently the best results.
Alerts for buy/sell signals can be set from the alerts menu. For best results, make sure you set the alert to action on close of bar.
This indicator is most effective when:
Used with liquid stocks or crypto
Entries are confirmed with VWAP, not counter-trend
Signals are filtered by volume spikes and trend direction
Example strategy:
Buy a Call when you see a BUY signal with high volume, in an uptrend
Exit on a cross back to VWAP (the orange line) or a quick 1% profit
Do the opposite with PUTs on a SELL signal
This is ideal for quick day trades (scalps or trend moves), and avoids the choppy, uncertain zones at market open.
...
Optimizing via Settings
There are additional, stricter filters in the settings. Please adapt to your preference.
Presets:
Stocks (Default): Applies all filters but lets you disable them as needed
Crypto: Disables stock-specific filters (SPY comparison, RS, Daily trend)
Filters:
Daily Trend Filter: Helps align trades with higher timeframe direction (recommended ON for stocks)
Market Trend & RS: Filters based on SPY and relative performance (test enabling for SPY-following tickers)
VWAP Entry Filter: Keeps you from fighting the dominant intraday trend
Ignore First 30 Minutes: Avoids false signals at the open
Experiment with toggling filters ON/OFF to match your asset class and volatility conditions.
...
Finally
The best way to master this indicator is to understand the trading mindset it came from.
Read The Damn Wiki — it’s free, comprehensive, and packed with wisdom that this script distills into a usable tool.
If you would like to adapt this indicator you are very welcome to do so. All I ask in return is that you share your findings with the wider community.
...
Happy trading. May your entries be sharp and your exits cleaner.

KST Strategy [Skyrexio]Overview
KST Strategy leverages Know Sure Thing (KST) indicator in conjunction with the Williams Alligator and Moving average to obtain the high probability setups. KST is used for for having the high probability to enter in the direction of a current trend when momentum is rising, Alligator is used as a short term trend filter, while Moving average approximates the long term trend and allows trades only in its direction. Also strategy has the additional optional filter on Choppiness Index which does not allow trades if market is choppy, above the user-specified threshold. Strategy has the user specified take profit and stop-loss numbers, but multiplied by Average True Range (ATR) value on the moment when trade is open. The strategy opens only long trades.
Unique Features
ATR based stop-loss and take profit. Instead of fixed take profit and stop-loss percentage strategy utilizes user chosen numbers multiplied by ATR for its calculation.
Configurable Trading Periods. Users can tailor the strategy to specific market windows, adapting to different market conditions.
Optional Choppiness Index filter. Strategy allows to choose if it will use the filter trades with Choppiness Index and set up its threshold.
Methodology
The strategy opens long trade when the following price met the conditions:
Close price is above the Alligator's jaw line
Close price is above the filtering Moving average
KST line of Know Sure Thing indicator shall cross over its signal line (details in justification of methodology)
If the Choppiness Index filter is enabled its value shall be less than user defined threshold
When the long trade is executed algorithm defines the stop-loss level as the low minus user defined number, multiplied by ATR at the trade open candle. Also it defines take profit with close price plus user defined number, multiplied by ATR at the trade open candle. While trade is in progress, if high price on any candle above the calculated take profit level or low price is below the calculated stop loss level, trade is closed.
Strategy settings
In the inputs window user can setup the following strategy settings:
ATR Stop Loss (by default = 1.5, number of ATRs to calculate stop-loss level)
ATR Take Profit (by default = 3.5, number of ATRs to calculate take profit level)
Filter MA Type (by default = Least Squares MA, type of moving average which is used for filter MA)

Justification of Methodology
Before understanding why this particular combination of indicator has been chosen let's briefly explain what is KST, Williams Alligator, Moving Average, ATR and Choppiness Index.
The KST (Know Sure Thing) is a momentum oscillator developed by Martin Pring. It combines multiple Rate of Change (ROC) values, smoothed over different timeframes, to identify trend direction and momentum strength. First of all, what is ROC? ROC (Rate of Change) is a momentum indicator that measures the percentage change in price between the current price and the price a set number of periods ago.
ROC = 100 * (Current Price - Price N Periods Ago) / Price N Periods Ago
In our case N is the KST ROC Length inputs from settings, here we will calculate 4 different ROCs to obtain KST value:
KST = ROC1_smooth × 1 + ROC2_smooth × 2 + ROC3_smooth × 3 + ROC4_smooth × 4
ROC1 = ROC(close, KST ROC Length #1), smoothed by KST SMA Length #1,
ROC2 = ROC(close, KST ROC Length #2), smoothed by KST SMA Length #2,
ROC3 = ROC(close, KST ROC Length #3), smoothed by KST SMA Length #3,
ROC4 = ROC(close, KST ROC Length #4), smoothed by KST SMA Length #4
Also for this indicator the signal line is calculated:
Signal = SMA(KST, KST Signal Line Length)
When the KST line rises, it indicates increasing momentum and suggests that an upward trend may be developing. Conversely, when the KST line declines, it reflects weakening momentum and a potential downward trend. A crossover of the KST line above its signal line is considered a buy signal, while a crossover below the signal line is viewed as a sell signal. If the KST stays above zero, it indicates overall bullish momentum; if it remains below zero, it points to bearish momentum. The KST indicator smooths momentum across multiple timeframes, helping to reduce noise and provide clearer signals for medium- to long-term trends.
Next, let’s discuss the short-term trend filter, which combines the Williams Alligator and Williams Fractals. Williams Alligator
Developed by Bill Williams, the Alligator is a technical indicator that identifies trends and potential market reversals. It consists of three smoothed moving averages:
Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest of the three, based on a 13-period smoothed moving average shifted 8 bars ahead.
Teeth (Red Line): The medium-speed line, derived from an 8-period smoothed moving average shifted 5 bars forward.
Lips (Green Line): The fastest line, calculated using a 5-period smoothed moving average shifted 3 bars forward.
When the lines diverge and align in order, the "Alligator" is "awake," signaling a strong trend. When the lines overlap or intertwine, the "Alligator" is "asleep," indicating a range-bound or sideways market. This indicator helps traders determine when to enter or avoid trades.
The next indicator is Moving Average. It has a lot of different types which can be chosen to filter trades and the Least Squares MA is used by default settings. Let's briefly explain what is it.
The Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA) — also known as Linear Regression Moving Average — is a trend-following indicator that uses the least squares method to fit a straight line to the price data over a given period, then plots the value of that line at the most recent point. It draws the best-fitting straight line through the past N prices (using linear regression), and then takes the endpoint of that line as the value of the moving average for that bar. The LSMA aims to reduce lag and highlight the current trend more accurately than traditional moving averages like SMA or EMA.
Key Features:
It reacts faster to price changes than most moving averages.
It is smoother and less noisy than short-term EMAs.
It can be used to identify trend direction, momentum, and potential reversal points.
ATR (Average True Range) is a volatility indicator that measures how much an asset typically moves during a given period. It was introduced by J. Welles Wilder and is widely used to assess market volatility, not direction.
To calculate it first of all we need to get True Range (TR), this is the greatest value among:
High - Low
abs(High - Previous Close)
abs(Low - Previous Close)
ATR = MA(TR, n) , where n is number of periods for moving average, in our case equals 14.
ATR shows how much an asset moves on average per candle/bar. A higher ATR means more volatility; a lower ATR means a calmer market.
The Choppiness Index is a technical indicator that quantifies whether the market is trending or choppy (sideways). It doesn't indicate trend direction — only the strength or weakness of a trend. Higher Choppiness Index usually approximates the sideways market, while its low value tells us that there is a high probability of a trend.
Choppiness Index = 100 × log10(ΣATR(n) / (MaxHigh(n) - MinLow(n))) / log10(n)
where:
ΣATR(n) = sum of the Average True Range over n periods
MaxHigh(n) = highest high over n periods
MinLow(n) = lowest low over n periods
log10 = base-10 logarithm
Now let's understand how these indicators work in conjunction and why they were chosen for this strategy. KST indicator approximates current momentum, when it is rising and KST line crosses over the signal line there is high probability that short term trend is reversing to the upside and strategy allows to take part in this potential move. Alligator's jaw (blue) line is used as an approximation of a short term trend, taking trades only above it we want to avoid trading against trend to increase probability that long trade is going to be winning.
Almost the same for Moving Average, but it approximates the long term trend, this is just the additional filter. If we trade in the direction of the long term trend we increase probability that higher risk to reward trade will hit the take profit. Choppiness index is the optional filter, but if it turned on it is used for approximating if now market is in sideways or in trend. On the range bounded market the potential moves are restricted. We want to decrease probability opening trades in such condition avoiding trades if this index is above threshold value.
When trade is open script sets the stop loss and take profit targets. ATR approximates the current volatility, so we can make a decision when to exit a trade based on current market condition, it can increase the probability that strategy will avoid the excessive stop loss hits, but anyway user can setup how many ATRs to use as a stop loss and take profit target. As was said in the Methodology stop loss level is obtained by subtracting number of ATRs from trade opening candle low, while take profit by adding to this candle's close.

Frahm FactorIntended Usage of the Frahm Factor Indicator
The Frahm Factor is designed to give you a rapid, at-a-glance assessment of how volatile the market is right now—and how large the average candle has been—over the most recent 24-hour window. Here’s how to put it to work:
Gauge Volatility Regimes
Volatility Score (1–10)
A low score (1–3, green) signals calm seas—tight ranges, low risk of big moves.
A mid score (4–6, yellow) warns you that volatility is picking up.
A high score (7–10, red) tells you to prepare for disorderly swings or breakout opportunities.
How to trade off it
In low-volatility periods, you might favor mean-reversion or range-bound strategies.
As the score climbs into the red zone, consider widening stops, scaling back position size, or switching to breakout momentum plays.
Monitor Average Candle Size
Avg Candle (ticks) cell shows you the mean true-range of each bar over that 24h window in ticks.
When candles are small, you know the market is consolidating and liquidity may be thin.
When candles are large, momentum and volume are driving strong directional bias.
The optional dynamic color ramp (green→yellow→red) immediately flags when average bar size is unusually small or large versus its own 24h history.
Customize & Stay Flexible
Timeframes: Works on any intraday chart—from 1-minute scalping to 4-hour swing setups—because it always looks back exactly 24 hours.
Toggles:
Show or hide the Volatility and Avg-Candle cells to keep your screen uncluttered.
Turn on the dynamic color ramp only when you want that extra visual cue.
Alerts: Built-in alerts fire automatically at meaningful thresholds (Volatility ≥ 8 or ≤ 3), so you’ll never miss regime shifts, even if you step away.
Real-World Applications
Risk Management: Automatically adjust your stop-loss distances or position sizing based on the current volatility band.
Strategy Selection: Flip between range-trading and momentum strategies as the volatility regime changes.
Session Analysis: Pinpoint when during the day volatility typically ramps—perfect for doorway sessions like London opening or the US midday news spikes.
Bottom line: the Frahm Factor gives you one compact dashboard to see the pulse of the market—so you can make choices with conviction, dial your risk in real time, and never be caught off guard by sudden volatility shifts.
Logic Behind the Frahm Factor Indicator
24-Hour Rolling Window
On every intraday bar, we append that bar’s True Range (TR) and timestamp to two arrays.
We then prune any entries older than 24 hours, so the arrays always reflect exactly the last day of data.
Volatility Score (1–10)
We count how many of those 24 h TR values are less than or equal to the current bar’s TR.
Dividing by the total array size gives a percentile (0–1), which we scale and round into a 1–10 score.
Average Candle Size (ticks)
We sum all TR values in the same 24 h window, divide by array length to get the mean TR, then convert that price range into ticks.
Optionally, a green→yellow→red ramp highlights when average bar size is unusually small, medium or large versus its own 24 h history.
Color & Alerts
The Volatility cell flips green (1–3), yellow (4–6) or red (7–10) so you see regime shifts at a glance.
Built-in alertcondition calls fire when the score crosses your high (≥ 8) or low (≤ 3) thresholds.
Modularity
Everything—table location, which cells to show, dynamic coloring—is controlled by simple toggles, so you can strip it back or layer on extra visual cues as needed.
That’s the full recipe: a true 24 h look-back, a percentile-ranked volatility gauge, and a mean-bar-size meter, all wrapped into one compact dashboard.
Adaptive RSI (ARSI)# Adaptive RSI (ARSI) - Dynamic Momentum Oscillator
Adaptive RSI is an advanced momentum oscillator that dynamically adjusts its calculation period based on real-time market volatility and cycle analysis. Unlike traditional RSI that uses fixed periods, ARSI continuously adapts to market conditions, providing more accurate overbought/oversold signals and reducing false signals during varying market phases.
## How It Works
At its core, ARSI calculates an adaptive period ranging from 8 to 28 bars using two key components: volatility measurement through Average True Range (ATR) and cycle detection via price momentum analysis. The logic is straightforward:
- **High volatility periods** trigger shorter calculation periods for enhanced responsiveness to rapid price movements
- **Low volatility periods** extend the calculation window for smoother, more reliable signals
- **Market factor** combines volatility and cycle analysis to determine optimal RSI period in real-time
When RSI crosses above 70, the market enters overbought territory. When it falls below 30, oversold conditions emerge. The indicator also features extreme levels at 80/20 for stronger reversal signals and midline crossovers at 50 for trend confirmation.
The adaptive mechanism ensures the oscillator remains sensitive during critical market movements while filtering out noise during consolidation phases, making it superior to static RSI implementations across different market conditions.
## Features
- **True Adaptive Calculation**: Dynamic period adjustment from 8-28 bars based on market volatility
- **Multiple Signal Types**: Overbought/oversold, extreme reversals, and midline crossovers
- **Configurable Parameters**: RSI length, adaptive sensitivity, ATR period, min/max bounds
- **Smart Smoothing**: Adjustable EMA smoothing from 1-21 periods to reduce noise
- **Visual Clarity**: Gradient colors, area fills, and signal dots for immediate trend recognition
- **Real-time Information**: Live data table showing current RSI, adaptive period, and market factor
- **Flexible Source Input**: Apply to any price source (close, hl2, ohlc4, etc.)
- **Professional Alerts**: Six built-in alert conditions for automated trading systems
## Signal Generation
ARSI generates multiple signal types for comprehensive market analysis:
**Primary Signals**: RSI crosses above 70 (overbought) or below 30 (oversold) - most reliable entry/exit points
**Extreme Signals**: RSI reaches 80+ (extreme overbought) or 20- (extreme oversold) - potential reversal zones
**Trend Signals**: RSI crosses above/below 50 midline - confirms directional momentum
**Reversal Signals**: Price action contradicts extreme RSI levels - early turning point detection
The adaptive period changes provide additional confirmation - signals accompanied by significant period shifts often carry higher probability of success.
## Visual Implementation
The indicator employs sophisticated visual elements for instant market comprehension:
- **Gradient RSI Line**: Color intensity reflects both value and momentum direction
- **Dynamic Zones**: Overbought/oversold areas with customizable fill colors
- **Signal Markers**: Triangular indicators mark key reversal and continuation points
- **Information Panel**: Real-time display of RSI value, adaptive period, market factor, and signal status
- **Background Coloring**: Subtle fills indicate current market state without chart clutter
## Parameter Configuration
**RSI Settings**:
- RSI Length: Base calculation period (default: 14)

- Extreme Levels: Enhanced reversal zones (default: 80/20)
- Midline Display: 50-level trend confirmation toggle
**Visual Settings**:
- Line Width: RSI line thickness (1-5)
- Area Fills: Zone highlighting toggle
- Gradient Colors: Dynamic color intensity
- Signal Dots: Entry/exit marker display
## Alerts
ARSI includes six comprehensive alert conditions:
- **ARSI Overbought** - RSI crosses above overbought level
- **ARSI Oversold** - RSI crosses below oversold level
- **ARSI Bullish Cross** - RSI crosses above 50 midline
- **ARSI Bearish Cross** - RSI crosses below 50 midline
- **ARSI Extreme Bull** - Potential bullish reversal from extreme oversold
- **ARSI Extreme Bear** - Potential bearish reversal from extreme overbought
## Use Cases
**Trend Following**: Adaptive periods naturally adjust during trend acceleration and consolidation phases
**Mean Reversion**: Enhanced overbought/oversold signals with volatility-based confirmation
**Breakout Trading**: Extreme level breaches often precede significant directional moves
**Risk Management**: Multiple signal types allow for layered entry/exit strategies
**Multi-Timeframe Analysis**: Works effectively across various timeframes and asset classes
## Trading Applications
**Swing Trading**: Excels during trend transitions with adaptive sensitivity to changing conditions
**Day Trading**: Enhanced responsiveness during volatile sessions while filtering consolidation noise
**Position Trading**: Longer smoothing periods provide stable signals for broader market analysis
**Scalping**: Minimal smoothing with high sensitivity captures short-term momentum shifts
The indicator performs well across stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies, though parameter optimization may be required for specific market characteristics.

ATR Screener with Labels and ShapesWeekly Daily ATR Pine Scanner
To find out tightness or contraction in a stock we needs to check if volatality is decreasing as well as compared to previous 14 or 10 bars volatility . we check this for weekly and then for Daily , so that we can enter in a stock which is tightest in recent times.
Condition is :
1. Weekly Candle ATR x 0.8 < 10 Week ATR
2. Daily Candle ATR x 0.6 < 14 Day ATR
When both of the conditions are met then they signifies that the stock has tightened in weekly and daily aswell . so now we can find ways to enter during max squeeze.
How to scan in Pine Scanner ?
FIrst add indicator as favourite and Go to pine scanner page in trading view and then scan your watchlist and there you will see 3 columns 1 with only Weekly conditions met , 2 with only Daily and 3rd with Both conditions met .
Select stocks and move to new watchlist and now you have those stocks which has contracted the most in recent times .
EWMA Volatility EstimatorThis script calculates EWMA Volatility (Exponentially Weighted Moving Average Volatility).
Commonly used model in financial risk management.
It estimates recent price volatility by applying more weight to the most recent returns, capturing volatility clustering while remaining responsive to fast market shifts.
The method uses a decay factor (λ) of 0.94, the standard value used in models like RiskMetrics, and converts the variance estimate into annualized volatility in percentage terms.
This is not a forecasting tool. It’s an estimator that reflects the magnitude of recent price moves in a statistically robust way.
It can be helpful for:
Understanding regime shifts in market behavior
Designing position sizing rules based on recent volatility
Filtering entries during high or low volatility phases
How It Works
Computes log returns of the closing price.
Squares the returns to get a proxy for variance.
Applies an exponential moving average to the squared returns using an equivalent EMA period based on λ = 0.94.
Converts the result to volatility by taking the square root and scaling to a percentage.
Key Characteristics
Backward-looking estimator
Reacts faster than standard rolling-window volatility
Smooths noise while still being sensitive to recent spikes

ATR % Line from Day LowHow can you make sure that you're not buying a stock that is too extended?
By limiting your buys to within a certain percentage of either the low-of-the-day (LoD) if you're going long, or to the high-of-the-day (HoD) if you're shorting a stock. This script will help you do just that.
Limiting stock purchases to within a certain percentage of the Average True Range (ATR) from the day's low or high is a risk management technique that offers several key benefits:
Risk Control and Position Sizing
By using ATR as a boundary, you're essentially creating a volatility-adjusted buffer. Since ATR measures recent price volatility, this approach prevents you from buying into stocks that have already moved significantly beyond their normal trading range. This helps avoid entering positions when the stock might be overextended and due for a pullback.
Improved Entry Timing
This strategy encourages patience and discipline. Rather than chasing a stock that's already run up substantially from its low, you wait for better entry points. For example, if you set a limit of 50% of ATR from the day's low, you're only buying when the stock hasn't moved more than half its typical daily range from the bottom.
Volatility Awareness
ATR naturally adjusts for each stock's individual volatility characteristics. A high-volatility stock might have an ATR of $2, while a low-volatility stock might have an ATR of $0.50. This approach scales your entry criteria appropriately for each security rather than using arbitrary dollar amounts.
Reduced Emotional Trading
Having a systematic rule removes the temptation to chase momentum or buy at poor technical levels. It forces you to wait for the stock to come back to more reasonable levels relative to its recent trading behavior.
Better Risk-Reward Ratios
By entering closer to the day's low (within your ATR percentage), you're typically getting a better risk-reward setup. Your stop loss (often placed below the day's low) will be tighter, while your potential upside remains intact.
This approach works particularly well for swing traders and those looking to enter positions on pullbacks or during consolidation periods rather than breakout scenarios.
To save valuable real estate on your chart, there's also an option that can give you a compact version of this indicator which will show only the "Current Day's Low/High" and "Target Price". "Target Price" being the price at which your max buy limit is based on the % ATR you choose in settings.
