Volume Weighted Regression ChannelThis indicator constructs a volume-weighted linear regression channel over a custom time range.
It’s conceptually similar to a Volume Profile, but instead of projecting horizontal value zones, it builds a tilted trend channel that reflects both price direction and volume concentration.
🧠 Core Features:
Volume-weighted points: Each candle contributes to the regression line proportionally to its volume — heavier candles shift the channel toward high-activity price zones.
Linear regression line: Shows the trend direction within the selected time interval.
±σ boundaries: Outer bands represent the standard deviation of price (also volume-weighted), highlighting statistical dispersion.
Fully customizable: Adjustable line styles, widths, and channel width (sigma multiplier).
Time window control: Select any start and end time to define the regression interval.
📊 Why use this instead of Volume Profile?
While Volume Profile shows horizontal distributions of traded volume, this indicator is ideal when:
You want to understand how volume clusters affect trend direction, not just price levels.
You're analyzing time-dependent flow rather than static price zones.
You're looking for a dynamic volume-adjusted channel that moves with the market's structure.
It’s especially useful in identifying volume-supported trends, hidden pullback zones, and statistical extremes.
⚙️ Notes:
Works on any timeframe and instrument.
Does not repaint.
Does not require volume profile data feeds — uses standard volume and hl2.

RSI Games 1.2he "RSI Games 1.2" indicator enhances the standard RSI by adding several layers of analysis:
Standard RSI Calculation: It calculates the RSI based on a configurable length (default 14 periods) and a user-selected source (default close price).
RSI Bands: It plots horizontal lines at 70 (red, overbought), 50 (yellow, neutral), and 30 (green, oversold) to easily identify extreme RSI levels.
RSI Smoothing with Moving Averages (MAs) and Bollinger Bands (BBs):
You can apply various types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA) to smooth the RSI line.
If you choose "SMA + Bollinger Bands," the indicator will also plot Bollinger Bands around the smoothed RSI, providing dynamic overbought/oversold levels based on volatility.
The RSI line itself changes color based on whether it's above (green) or below (red) its smoothing MA.
It also fills the area between the RSI and its smoothing MA, coloring it green when RSI is above and red when below.
Bollinger Band Signals: When Bollinger Bands are enabled, the indicator marks "Buy" signals (green arrow up) when the RSI crosses above the lower Bollinger Band and "Sell" signals (red arrow down) when it crosses below the upper Bollinger Band.
Background Coloring: The background of the indicator pane changes to light green when RSI is below 30 (oversold) and light red when RSI is above 70 (overbought), visually highlighting extreme conditions.
Divergence Detection: This is a key feature. The indicator automatically identifies and labels:
Regular Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low, but RSI makes a higher low. This often signals a potential reversal to the upside.
Regular Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, but RSI makes a lower high. This often signals a potential reversal to the downside.
Hidden Bullish Divergence: Price makes a higher low, but RSI makes a lower low. This can indicate a continuation of an uptrend.
Hidden Bearish Divergence: Price makes a lower high, but RSI makes a higher high. This can indicate a continuation of a downtrend.
Divergences are visually marked with labels and can trigger alerts.
Metatron Lines (Highs & Lows Geometry)Metatron Lines
Hey TradingView community! 👋
I wanted to share something I've been working on that might help you see market structure from a different angle. This indicator connects pivot highs and lows using geometric patterns, creating what I call "Metatron Lines."
What it does (simply put):
- Finds significant highs and lows on your chart
- Draws lines connecting these points to reveal hidden geometric relationships
- Shows you the underlying structure that price tends to respect
Why I built this:
I noticed that markets often move in patterns that aren't immediately obvious. Sometimes the most important levels aren't the obvious support and resistance lines, but the intersections and angles created by connecting multiple pivot points. This tool helps visualize those relationships.
How it might help you:
- Pattern Recognition : Spot geometric formations that traditional analysis might miss
- Support/Resistance : See where multiple geometric lines converge to create strong levels
- Market Structure : Better understand how price flows and where it might find obstacles
- Confluence Areas : Identify zones where multiple geometric elements align
A few honest thoughts:
This isn't a magic bullet or a guaranteed profit maker (nothing is!). It's simply another lens through which to view price action. Some traders find geometric analysis helpful, others prefer different approaches - and that's perfectly fine.
I've tried to make it customizable so you can adjust it to fit your trading style and timeframe. The default settings work well for most instruments, but feel free to experiment.
Settings you can adjust:
- Pivot detection sensitivity
- Number of connection points
- Line colors and styles
- Which connections to show (highs, lows, or both)
I hope some of you find this useful! I'm always learning from this community, so if you have suggestions for improvements or different ways to use it, I'd love to hear them.
Trade safe and trust your process! 📈

Contrarian 100 MAPairs nicely with Enhanced-Stock-Ticker-with-50MA-vs-200MA located here:
Description
The Contrarian 100 MA is a sophisticated Pine Script v6 indicator designed for traders seeking to identify key market structure shifts and trend reversals using a combination of a 100-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) envelope and Inner Circle Trader (ICT) Break of Structure (BoS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) logic. By overlaying a semi-transparent SMA-based shadow on the price chart and plotting bullish and bearish structure signals, this indicator helps traders visualize critical price levels and potential trend changes. It leverages higher timeframe (HTF) pivot points and dynamic logic to adapt to various chart timeframes, making it ideal for swing and contrarian trading strategies. Customizable colors, timeframes, and alert conditions enhance its versatility for manual and automated trading setups.
Key Features
SMA Envelope: Plots a 100-period SMA for high and low prices, creating a semi-transparent (50% opacity) purple shadow to highlight the price range and provide context for price movements.
ICT BoS/MSS Logic: Identifies Break of Structure (BoS) and Market Structure Shift (MSS) signals for both bullish and bearish conditions, based on HTF pivot points.
Dynamic Timeframe Support: Adjusts pivot detection based on user-selected HTF (default: 1D) and chart timeframe (1M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, 1D), ensuring adaptability across markets.
Visual Signals: Draws dotted lines for BoS (bullish/bearish) and MSS (bullish/bearish) signals at pivot levels, with customizable colors for easy identification.
Contrarian Approach: Signals potential reversals by combining SMA context with ICT structure breaks, ideal for traders looking to capitalize on trend shifts.
Alert Conditions: Supports alerts for bullish/bearish BoS and MSS signals, enabling integration with TradingView’s alert system for automated trading.

Heatmap Trailing Stop with Breakouts (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Heatmap Trailing Stop with Breakouts (Zeiierman) is a trend and breakout detection tool that combines dynamic trailing stop logic, Fibonacci-based levels, and a real-time market heatmap into a single, intuitive system.
This indicator is designed to help traders visualize pressure zones, manage stop placement, and identify breakout opportunities supported by contextual price–derived heat. Whether you're trailing trends, detecting reversals, or entering on explosive breakouts — this tool keeps you anchored in structure and sentiment.
It projects adaptive trailing stop levels and calculates Fibonacci extensions from swing-based extremes. These levels are then colored by a market heatmap engine that tracks price interaction intensity — showing where the market is "hot" and likely to respond.
On top of that, it includes breakout signals powered by HTF momentum conditions, trend direction, and heatmap validation — giving you signals only when the context is strong.
█ How It Works
⚪ Trailing Stop Engine
At its core, the script uses an ATR-based trailing stop with trend detection:
ATR Length – Defines volatility smoothing using EMA MA of true range.
Multiplier – Expands/retracts the trailing offset depending on market aggression.
Real-Time Extremum Tracking – Uses local highs/lows to define Fibonacci anchors.
⚪ Fibonacci Projection + Heatmap
With each trend shift, Fibonacci levels are projected from the new swing to the current trailing stop. These include:
Fib 61.8, 78.6, 88.6, and 100% (trailing stop) lines
Heatmap Coloring – Each level'slevel's color is determined by how frequently price has interacted with that level in the recent range (defined by ATR).
Strength Score (1–10) – The number of touches per level is normalized and averaged to create a heatmap ""score"" displayed as a colored bar on the chart.
⚪ Breakout Signal System
This engine detects high-confidence breakout signals using a higher timeframe candle structure:
Bullish Breakout – Strong bullish candle + momentum + trend confirmation + heatmap score threshold.
Bearish Breakout – Strong bearish candle + momentum + trend confirmation + heatmap score threshold.
Cooldown Logic – Prevents signals from clustering too frequently during volatile periods.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Following & Trail Stops
Use the Trailing Stop line to manage positions or time entries in line with trend direction. Trailing stop flips are highlighted with dot markers.
⚪ Fibonacci Heat Zones
The projected Fibonacci levels serve as price magnets or support/resistance zones. Watch how price reacts at Fib 61.8/78.6/88.6 levels — especially when they're glowing with high heatmap scores (more glow = more historical touches = stronger significance).
⚪ Breakout Signals
Enable breakout signals when you want to trade breakouts only under strong context. Use the "Heatmap Strength Threshold" to require a minimum score (1–10).
█ Settings
Stop Distance ATR Length – ATR period for volatility smoothing
Stop Distance Multiplier – Adjusts the trailing stop'sstop's distance from price
Heatmap Range ATR Length – Defines how far back the heatmap scans for touches
Number of Heat Levels – Total levels used in the heatmap (more = finer resolution)
Minimum Touches per Level – Defines what counts as a ""hot"" level
Heatmap Strength Threshold – Minimum average heat score (1–10) required for breakouts
Timeframe – HTF source used to evaluate breakout momentum structure

Money NoodleMoney Noodle Indicator - How It Works
The Money Noodle indicator is a trend-following and support/resistance tool that combines multiple exponential moving averages (EMAs) with dynamic volatility-based bands to create a comprehensive trading system.
Core Components
1. Triple EMA System ("The Noodles")
Fast EMA (12): Most responsive to price changes, shows short-term momentum
Medium EMA (21): Intermediate trend direction
Slow EMA (35): Main trend line that acts as the central reference point
The "noodle" effect comes from how these three EMAs weave around each other and the price action, creating curved, flowing lines that resemble noodles.
2. Dynamic Volatility Bands
Upper Band: Main EMA + (ATR × Band Multiplier)
Lower Band: Main EMA - (ATR × Band Multiplier)
Uses a 20-period ATR (Average True Range) to measure market volatility
Band width automatically adjusts - wider during volatile periods, tighter during consolidation
How It Functions
Trend Identification:
When all three EMAs are aligned (fast > medium > slow), it indicates a strong uptrend
When EMAs are inverted (fast < medium < slow), it signals a downtrend
EMA crossovers provide early trend change signals
Support & Resistance:
The bands act as dynamic support and resistance levels
Price tends to bounce off the bands during trending markets
Band breaks often signal strong momentum moves or trend changes
Volatility Assessment:
Band width indicates market volatility - wider bands = higher volatility
ATR-based calculation makes the bands adaptive to current market conditions
The 0.0125 multiplier provides optimal sensitivity for most timeframes
Trading Applications
Entry Signals:
Buy when price bounces off the lower band with EMA alignment
Sell when price bounces off the upper band against the trend
Breakout trades when price decisively breaks through bands
Trend Following:
Use the main EMA (35) as your trend filter
Trade in the direction of EMA alignment
The "noodles" help identify trend strength - tighter = stronger trend
Risk Management:
Bands provide natural stop-loss levels
Band width helps size positions (wider bands = smaller size due to higher volatility)
The indicator works best on daily timeframes and provides a visual, intuitive way to read market structure, trend direction, and volatility all in one tool.
Mark4ex vWapMark4ex VWAP is a precision session-anchored Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) indicator crafted for intraday traders who want clean, reliable VWAP levels that reset daily to match a specific market session.
Unlike the built-in continuous VWAP, this version anchors each day to your chosen session start and end time, most commonly aligned with the New York Stock Exchange Open (9:30 AM EST) through the market close (4:00 PM EST). This ensures your VWAP reflects only intraday price action within your active trading window — filtering out irrelevant overnight moves and providing clearer mean-reversion signals.
Key Features:
Fully configurable session start & end times — adapt it for NY session or any other market.
Anchored VWAP resets daily for true session-based levels.
Built for the New York Open Range Breakout strategy: see how price interacts with VWAP during the volatile first 30–60 minutes of the US market.
Plots a clean, dynamic line that updates tick-by-tick during the session and disappears outside trading hours.
Designed to help you spot real-time support/resistance, intraday fair value zones, and liquidity magnets used by institutional traders.
How to Use — NY Open Range Breakout:
During the first hour of the New York session, institutional traders often define an “Opening Range” — the high and low formed shortly after the bell. The VWAP in this zone acts as a dynamic pivot point:
When price is above the session VWAP, bulls are in control — the level acts as a support floor for pullbacks.
When price is below the session VWAP, bears dominate — the level acts as resistance against bounces.
Breakouts from the opening range often test the VWAP for confirmation or rejection.
Traders use this to time entries for breakouts, retests, or mean-reversion scalps with greater confidence.
⚙️ Recommended Settings:
Default: 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM New York time — standard US equities session.
Adjust hours/minutes to match your target market’s open and close.
👤 Who is it for?
Scalpers, day traders, prop traders, and anyone trading the NY Open, indices like the S&P 500, or highly liquid stocks during US cash hours.
🚀 Why use Mark4ex VWAP?
Because a properly anchored VWAP is a trader’s real-time institutional fair value, giving you better context than static moving averages. It adapts live to volume shifts and helps you follow smart money footprints.
This indicator will reconfigure every day, anchored to the New York Open, it will also leave historical NY Open VWAP for study purpose.
Wyckoff Entry Times @jqrmThis indicator visually marks two custom time zones on your TradingView chart by drawing vertical lines at the start and end of each zone. The first time zone spans from 9:27 AM to 9:33 AM, highlighted in red, and the second spans from 9:50 AM to 10:10 AM, highlighted in blue. You can enable or disable each zone's lines using the indicator inputs. This helps to quickly spot important intraday sessions or time ranges on your chart.
High/LowPrevious Day High/Low & Weekly Open Indicator
A clean and simple indicator that displays key reference levels for intraday trading.
Features:
Previous day's high and low levels
Current week's opening price
Auto-hides levels once broken (prevents clutter)
Resets automatically at the start of each trading day
No repainting - uses proper security function calls
How it works:
The indicator plots yesterday's high/low as horizontal lines on your chart. When price breaks above the previous day's high, that level disappears. Same for the low. This keeps your chart clean and shows only unbroken levels.
Perfect for:
Day traders using previous day's range as reference
Breakout trading strategies
Support/resistance analysis
Clean chart setup without manual level drawing
The cyan lines show previous day's high/low, while the orange line displays the weekly open. All levels use non-repainting data for reliable backtesting.
Timeframe Resistance Evaluation And Detection - CoffeeKillerTREAD - Timeframe Resistance Evaluation And Detection Guide
🔔 Important Technical Limitation 🔔
**This indicator does NOT fetch true higher timeframe data.** Instead, it simulates higher timeframe levels by aggregating data from your current chart timeframe. This means:
- Results will vary depending on what chart timeframe you're viewing
- Levels may not match actual higher timeframe candle highs/lows
- You might miss important wicks or gaps that occurred between chart timeframe bars
- **Always verify levels against actual higher timeframe charts before trading**
Welcome traders! This guide will walk you through the TREAD (Timeframe Resistance Evaluation And Detection) indicator, a multi-timeframe analysis tool developed by CoffeeKiller that identifies support and resistance confluence across different time periods.(I am 50+ year old trader and always thought I was bad a teaching and explaining so you get a AI guide. I personally use this on the 5 minute chart with the default settings, but to each there own and if you can improve the trend detection methods please DM me. I would like to see the code. Thanks)

Technical Implementation Details
How Level Tracking Works
The indicator uses a custom tracking function that:
1. Detects Timeframe Periods: Uses `time()` function to identify when new periods begin
2. Tracks Extremes: Monitors highest/lowest values within each period
3. Resets on New Periods: Clears tracking when timeframe periods change
4. Updates Mid-Period: Continues tracking if new extremes are reached
The Timeframe Limitation Explained
`pinescript
// What the indicator does:
short_tf_start = ta.change(time(short_timeframe)) != 0 // Detects 30m period start
= track_highest(open, short_tf_start) // BUT uses chart TF opens!
// What true multi-timeframe would be:
// short_tf_high = request.security(syminfo.tickerid, short_timeframe, high)
`
This means:
- On a 5m chart with 30m/4h settings: Tracks 5m bar opens during 30m and 4h windows
- On a 1m chart with same settings: Tracks 1m bar opens during 30m and 4h windows
- Results will be different between chart timeframes
- May miss important price action that occurred between your chart's bars
Visual Elements

Balanced Approach
- Timeframes: 30m/4h
- Chart: 15m
- Display: Selective fills, momentum on key levels
- Use: Day trading, multi-session analysis
Final Notes
**Remember**: This indicator provides a synthetic view of multi-timeframe levels, not true higher timeframe data. While useful for identifying potential confluence areas, always verify important levels by checking actual higher timeframe charts.
**Best Results When**:
- Combined with actual multi-timeframe analysis
- Used for confluence confirmation rather than primary signals
- Applied with proper risk management
- Verified against price action and volume
**DISCLAIMER**: This indicator and its signals are intended solely for educational and informational purposes. The timeframe limitation means results may not reflect true higher timeframe levels. Always conduct your own analysis and verify levels independently before making trading decisions. Trading involves significant risk of loss.
SuperTrend Adaptive (STD Smooth)Supertrend Adaptive (Smoothed StdDev)
Supertrend Adaptive is a refined trend-following indicator based on the classic Supertrend. It enhances the original by incorporating smoothed standard deviation into the volatility calculation, instead of relying solely on ATR. This hybrid approach enables more responsive and adaptive trend detection, reducing noise and false signals in volatile or ranging markets. The indicator also features confidence-weighted signal labels and a clean, uncluttered display, making it practical for any trading timeframe.
🔍 Detailed Methodology and Conceptual Foundation
Unlike traditional Supertrend indicators that use only absolute volatility (ATR) to define trend bands, this version blends standard deviation — a relative volatility measure — into the calculation. Standard deviation helps capture the dispersion of price, not just its range, and when smoothed, it filters out erratic jumps caused by sudden spikes or drops.
This fusion creates trend bands that expand and contract dynamically based on recent price variability. As a result:
Fewer whipsaws : The trend bands adjust to both low and high volatility environments, which helps avoid unnecessary signal flips during consolidation.
Stronger trend adherence : Signals are less reactive to momentary price movements. This allows the indicator to hold positions longer in trending markets, giving traders the opportunity to ride extended moves.
Bollinger Band-style adaptation : By including standard deviation, this indicator behaves similarly to Bollinger Bands — accounting for relative price change rather than absolute moves alone.
These enhancements make the tool suitable not only for identifying directional bias, but also for refining entries and exits with more context-aware volatility filtering.
📈 How to Use the Indicator
Trend Direction: The script draws a colored line beneath (uptrend) or above (downtrend) price. Green indicates bullish trend, red indicates bearish.
Buy/Sell Labels: Only the most recent signal is shown to reduce clutter:
🟢 Green "Buy" label = trend reversal to bullish, with strong confidence.
🔵 Blue "Buy" label = same reversal, but with lower volume confidence.
🔴 Red "Sell" label = trend reversal to bearish, with strong confidence.
🟠 Orange "Sell" label = bearish signal with lower volume confidence.
These color codes are derived from comparing current volume to its average — a higher-than-average volume gives greater confidence to the signal.
Settings:
ATR Period: Controls the smoothing window for volatility calculation.

MTF RSI MA System + Adaptive BandsMTF RSI MA System + Adaptive Bands
Overview
MTF RSI MA System + Adaptive Bands is a highly customizable Pine Script indicator for traders seeking a versatile tool for multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis. Unlike traditional RSI, it focuses on the Moving Average of RSI (RSI MA), delivering smoother and more flexible trading signals. The main screenshot displays the indicator in two panels to showcase its diverse capabilities.
Important: Timeframes do not adjust automatically – users must manually set them to match the chart’s timeframe.
Features
Core Component: Built around RSI MA, not raw RSI, for smoother trend signals.
Multi-Timeframe: Analyze RSI MA across three customizable timeframes (default: 4H, 8H, 12H).
Adaptive Bands: Three band calculation methods (Fixed, Percent, StdDev) for dynamic signals.
Flexible Signals: Generated via RSI MA crossovers, band interactions, or directional alignment across timeframes.
Background Coloring: Highlights when RSI MAs across timeframes move in the same direction, aiding trend confirmation.
Screenshot Panels Configuration
Upper Panel: Shows RSI, RSI MA, and fixed bands for reversal strategies (RSI crossing bands).
Lower Panel: Displays three RSI MAs (Alligator-style) for trend-following, with background coloring for directional alignment.
Band Calculation Methods
The indicator offers three ways to calculate bands around RSI MA, each with unique characteristics:
Fixed Bands
Set at a fixed point value (default: 10) above and below RSI MA.
Example: If RSI MA = 50, band value = 10 → upper band = 60, lower = 40.
Use Case: Best for stable markets or fixed-range preferences.
Tip: Adjust the band value to widen or narrow the range based on asset volatility.
Percent Bands
Calculated as a percentage of RSI MA (default: 10%).
Example: If RSI MA = 50, band value = 10% → upper band = 55, lower = 45.
Use Case: Ideal for assets with varying volatility, as bands scale with RSI MA.
Tip: Experiment with percentage values to match typical price swings.
Standard Deviation Bands (StdDev)
Based on RSI’s standard deviation over the MA period, multiplied by a user-defined factor (default: 10).
Example: If RSI MA = 50, standard deviation = 5, factor = 2 → upper band = 60, lower = 40.
Important: The default value (10) may produce wide bands. Reduce to 1–2 for tighter, practical bands.
Use Case: Best for dynamic markets with fluctuating volatility.
Configuration Options
RSI Length: Set RSI calculation period (default: 20).
MA Length: Set RSI MA period (default: 20).
MA Type: Choose SMA or EMA for RSI MA (default: EMA).
Timeframes: Configure three timeframes (default: 4H, 8H, 12H) for MTF analysis.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Optionally display fixed levels (default: 70/30).
Background Coloring: Enable/disable for each timeframe to highlight directional alignment.
How to Use
Add Indicator: Load it onto your TradingView chart.
Setup:
Reversals: Configure like the upper panel (RSI, RSI MA, bands) and watch for RSI crossing bands.
Trends: Configure like the lower panel (three RSI MAs) and look for fastest MA crossovers and background coloring.
Adjust Timeframes: Manually set tf1, tf2, tf3 (e.g., 1H, 2H, 4H on a 1H chart) to suit your strategy.
Adjust Bands: Choose band type (Fixed, Percent, StdDev) and value. For StdDev, reduce to 1–2 for tighter bands.
Experiment: Test settings to match your trading style, whether scalping, swing trading, or long-term.
Notes
Timeframes: Always match tf1, tf2, tf3 to your chart’s needs, as they don’t auto-adjust.
StdDev Bands: Lower the default value (10) to avoid overly wide bands.
Versatility: Works across markets (stocks, forex, crypto).
IU Market Rhythm WaveDESCRIPTION:
The IU Market Rhythm Wave is a multi-dimensional indicator designed to reveal the underlying rhythm and energy of the market. By analyzing price momentum, harmonic oscillations, volume behavior, and market breadth, it helps traders identify high-quality long and short wave signals. It also visualizes rhythm bands, wave strength zones, and harmonic levels to provide comprehensive context for decision-making.
This tool is best used on trending instruments where rhythm cycles and volume patterns create clear wave-based opportunities.
USER INPUTS:
Rhythm Cycle Length
Controls the main lookback period used to calculate price waves, harmonic oscillation, volume rhythm, and breath. A longer cycle smooths signals, while a shorter cycle makes them more responsive. Recommended range: 8 to 35.
Wave Signal Strength
Multiplies the standard deviation of rhythm to define dynamic breakout thresholds. A higher value results in fewer but stronger signals, filtering out minor fluctuations.
Harmonic Filter
Applies a sensitivity filter to the harmonic mean and standard deviation. It helps eliminate weak or noisy signals and ensures rhythm-based signals align with harmonic structure.
Show Wave Energy Zones
Toggles background color shading based on current rhythm conditions. Greenish zones indicate strong upward rhythm, red for strong downward rhythm, yellow for positive bias, and gray for weak or neutral zones.
Show Rhythm Bands
Enables the display of upper and lower rhythm bands derived from ATR and rhythm volatility. These bands act as dynamic price envelopes and potential support/resistance zones.
Wave Zone Opacity
Adjusts the transparency of background energy zones, allowing users to control how prominent these zones appear on the chart. Range: 60 to 90 for optimal visibility.
INDICATOR LOGIC:
The indicator combines multiple rhythmic components into a composite rhythm score:
1. Price Wave – Based on momentum (rate of price change) smoothed by a moving average.
2. Harmonic Oscillation – Measures how far price has deviated from a central harmonic average (HLC3).
3. Volume Rhythm – Uses volume’s deviation from its mean, standardized by its volatility.
4. Market Breath – Captures range expansion and closing strength relative to range.
These elements form the Raw Rhythm, which is further smoothed to produce the Market Rhythm. When the rhythm exceeds statistically calculated thresholds and other conditions like volume confirmation and harmonic proximity are met, wave signals are triggered.
Harmonic Fibonacci levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.618, 0.764) are also calculated every rhythm cycle to identify nearby structural price zones. Signals occurring near these levels are considered more reliable.
The Rhythm Bands use ATR and rhythm strength to define dynamic boundaries above and below price. Visual zones and arrows mark rhythm shifts and highlight the underlying energy of the market.
WHY IT IS UNIQUE:
This indicator goes beyond traditional oscillators or volume indicators by blending multiple market dimensions into one rhythmic framework. It adapts to volatility, applies harmonic structure awareness, and filters signals based on real-time market conditions. It offers:
* A unique rhythm-based view of price, volume, and volatility
* Dynamic, adaptive signal generation and zone coloring
* Visual analytics and contextual data in a summary table
* Signal filtering using harmonic alignment and market breath
Its real-time responsiveness and multi-layered logic make it suitable for intraday, swing, and positional traders.
HOW USER CAN BENEFIT FROM IT:
* Spot high-conviction long or short entries when rhythm, volume, and structure align
* Avoid low-quality trades during weak or noisy rhythm periods
* Use visual wave zones to gauge trend strength and rhythm direction
* Monitor harmonic proximity to enter or exit near key structural levels
* Apply rhythm bands for dynamic stop-loss and target setting
* Use rhythm direction arrows and analytics table to gain deeper market insight

🔧 TECHNICAL FEATURES
✅ Pine Script v6 - Latest and optimized version
✅ Clean Interface - User-friendly design
Adaptive Quadratic Kernel EnvelopeThis study draws a fair-value curve from a quadratic-weighted (Nadaraya-Watson) regression. Alpha sets how sharply weights decay inside the look-back window, so you trade lag against smoothness with one slider. Band half-width is ATRslow times a bounded fast/slow ATR ratio, giving an instant response to regime shifts without overshooting on spikes. Work in log space when an instrument grows exponentially, equal percentage moves then map to equal vertical steps. NearBase and FarBase define a progression of adaptive thresholds, useful for sizing exits or calibrating mean-reversion logic. Non-repaint mode keeps one-bar delay for clean back-tests, predictive mode shows the zero-lag curve for live decisions.
Key points
- Quadratic weights cut phase error versus Gaussian or SMA-based envelopes.
- Dual-ATR scaling updates width on the next bar, no residual lag.
- Log option preserves envelope symmetry across multi-decade data.
- Alpha provides direct control of curvature versus noise.
- Built-in alerts trigger on the first adaptive threshold, ready for automation.
Typical uses
Trend bias from the slope of the curve.
Entry timing when price pierces an inner threshold and momentum stalls.
Breakout confirmation when closes hold beyond outer thresholds while volatility expands.
Stops and targets anchored to chosen thresholds, automatically matching current noise.
Trend TraderDescription and Usage of the "Trend Trader" Indicator
The "Trend Trader" indicator, created by Gerardo Mercado as a legacy project, is a versatile trading tool designed to identify potential buy and sell signals across various instruments. While it provides predefined settings for popular instruments like US30, NDX100, GER40, and GOLD, it can be seamlessly adapted to any market, including forex pairs like EUR/USD. The indicator combines moving averages, time-based filters, and MACD confirmation to enhance decision-making for traders.
How It Works
Custom Moving Averages (MAs):
The indicator uses two moving averages:
Short MA: A faster-moving average (default: 10 periods).
Long MA: A slower-moving average (default: 100 periods).
Buy signals are generated when the Short MA crosses above the Long MA.
Sell signals are triggered when the Short MA crosses below the Long MA.
Time-Based Signals:
The user can define specific trading session times (start and end in UTC) to focus on high-activity periods for their chosen market.
Signals and background coloring are only active during the allowed session times.
MACD Confirmation:
A MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) calculation on a 15-minute timeframe ensures stronger confirmation for signals.
Buy signals require the MACD line to be above the signal line.
Sell signals require the MACD line to be at or below the signal line.
Target Levels:
Predefined profit targets are dynamically set based on the selected trading instrument.
While it includes settings for US30, NDX100, GER40, and GOLD, the target levels can be adjusted to fit the volatility and structure of any asset, including forex pairs like EUR/USD.
Target 1 and Target 2 levels display when these thresholds are met after an entry signal.
Adaptability to Any Market:
Although predefined options are included for specific instruments, the indicator's moving averages, time settings, and MACD logic are applicable to any tradable asset, making it suitable for forex, commodities, indices, and more.
Visual Alerts:
Labels appear on the chart to highlight "BUY" and "SELL" signals at crossover points.
Additional labels indicate when price movements reach the predefined target levels.
Bar and background coloring visually represent active signals and MACD alignment.
Purpose
The indicator aims to simplify trend-following and momentum-based trading strategies. By integrating moving averages, MACD, customizable time sessions, and dynamic targets, it offers clear entry and exit points while being adaptable to the needs of individual traders across diverse markets.
How to Use
Setup:
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart.
Configure the moving average periods, trading session times, and target levels according to your preferences.

Interpreting Signals:
Buy Signal: The Short MA crosses above the Long MA, MACD confirms the upward trend, and the session is active.
Sell Signal: The Short MA crosses below the Long MA, MACD confirms the downward trend, and the session is active.
Adapt for Any Instrument:
Adjust the predefined target levels to match the volatility and trading style for your chosen asset.
For forex pairs like EUR/USD, consider typical pip movements to set appropriate profit targets.
Targets:
Use the provided target labels (e.g., 50 or 100 points) or customize them to reflect realistic profit goals based on the asset’s volatility.
Visual Aids:
Pay attention to the background color:
Greenish: Indicates a bullish trend during the allowed session.
Redish: Indicates a bearish trend during the allowed session.

Dynamic Flow Ribbons [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
A dynamic multi-band trend visualization system that adapts to market volatility and reveals trend momentum with layered ribbon channels.
Dynamic Flow Ribbons transforms price action into flowing trend bands that expand and contract with volatility. It not only shows the active directional bias but also visualizes how strong or weak the trend is through layered ribbons, making it easier to assess trend quality and structure.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Uses an adaptive trend detection system built on a volatility envelope derived from an EMA of the average price (HLC3).
Measures volatility using a long-period average of the high-low range, which scales the envelope width dynamically.
Trend direction flips when the average price crosses above or below these envelopes.
Ribbons form around the trend line to show how far price is stretching or compressing relative to the mean.
🔵 FEATURES
Volatility-Based Trend Line:
A thick, color-coded line tracks the current trend with smoother transitions between phases.
Multi-Layered Flow Ribbons:
Up to 10 bands (5 above and 5 below) radiate outward from the upper and lower envelopes, reflecting volatility strength and direction.
Trend Coloring & Transitions:
Ribbons and candles are dynamically colored based on trend direction— green for bullish , orange for bearish . Transparency fades with distance from the core trend band.
Real-Time Responsiveness:
Ribbon structure and trend shifts update in real time, adapting instantly to fast market changes.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use the color and thickness of the core trend line to follow directional bias.
When ribbons widen symmetrically, it signals strong trend momentum .
Narrowing or overlapping ribbons can suggest consolidation or transition zones .
Combine with breakout systems or volume tools to confirm impulsive or corrective phases .
Adjust the “Length” (factor) input to tune sensitivity—higher values smooth trends more.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Dynamic Flow Ribbons offers a sleek and insightful view into trend strength and structure. By visualizing volatility expansion with directional flow, it becomes a powerful overlay for momentum traders, swing strategists, and trend followers who want to stay ahead of evolving market flows
SPX Weekly Expected Moves# SPX Weekly Expected Moves Indicator
A professional Pine Script indicator for TradingView that displays weekly expected move levels for SPX based on real options data, with integrated Fibonacci retracement analysis and intelligent alerting system.
## Overview
This indicator helps options and equity traders visualize weekly expected move ranges for the S&P 500 Index (SPX) by plotting historical and current week expected move boundaries derived from weekly options pricing. Unlike theoretical volatility calculations, this indicator uses actual market-based expected move data that you provide from options platforms.
## Key Features

BackToBasic XEMAบทความอธิบายสคริปต์ “BackToBasic XEMA”
ภาษาไทย
แนวคิดโดยย่อ
BackToBasic XEMA เกิดจากแนวคิด “กลับสู่พื้นฐานแต่เพิ่มประโยชน์” โดยใช้สัญญาณ EMA Crossover เป็นแกนหลัก แล้วต่อยอดด้วยการแสดงกำไร/ขาดทุนจริง (PnL) และเส้น Trailing Stop แนวนอน เพื่อช่วยวัดประสิทธิภาพและป้องกันการคืนกำไร
กลไกการทำงาน
Dual EMA – คำนวณ EMA สองเส้น (Fast และ Slow)
Crossover Signal – ออกสัญญาณ Buy เมื่อ Fast ตัดขึ้น Slow และ Sell เมื่อ Fast ตัดลง Slow
PnL Lines & Labels – เมื่อทิศทางกลับตัว ระบบจะคำนวณส่วนต่างราคา × จำนวน Contracts แล้ววาดเส้นเชื่อมจุดเข้า–ออก พร้อมป้ายกำไร/ขาดทุนสีเขียว / แดง
Horizontal Trailing Stop – เมื่อราคาวิ่งไปทางกำไรเกิน trailStartPips ระบบจะสร้างเส้น Trail ห่างจาก EMA อ้างอิงด้วย trailBufferPips และเลื่อนเฉพาะในทางที่ล็อกกำไร
การตั้งค่าใช้งาน (สรุปเป็นคำอธิบาย)
ปรับค่า Fast/Slow EMA ให้สัมพันธ์กับกรอบเวลาและความผันผวนของสินทรัพย์
กรอกจำนวน Contracts ตามขนาดโพซิชันจริงเพื่อให้ค่า PnL สมจริง
ค่า Trail เริ่มต้นเหมาะกับกราฟ 1 ชั่วโมงขึ้นไป หากเทรดสั้นอาจลด trailStartPips และ trailBufferPips
แนะนำใช้กับสินทรัพย์สภาพคล่องสูง (คู่เงินหลัก, XAUUSD, ดัชนี) และทดสอบบนบัญชีเดโมก่อนเสมอ
จุดเด่นเมื่อเทียบกับ EMA Crossover พื้นฐาน
เห็นผลกำไร/ขาดทุนของแต่ละการเทรดทันที ไม่ต้องคำนวณย้อนหลัง
มีเส้น Trailing Stop แนวนอนช่วยล็อกกำไรและจำกัดขาดทุน
เปิด–ปิดฟังก์ชัน PnL และ Trailing ได้จากหน้าตั้งค่า ไม่ยุ่งยาก
ข้อจำกัดและคำเตือน
ไม่เหมาะกับกราฟแบบ Heikin Ashi หรือ Renko เพราะอาจเกิด repaint
PnL คำนวณจากส่วนต่างราคาเท่านั้น ไม่รวมค่าคอมมิชชันหรือสลิปเพจ
ผลลัพธ์ในอดีตไม่รับประกันอนาคต ควรจัดการความเสี่ยงและทดลองก่อนใช้งานจริง

Concept
BackToBasic XEMA extends a classic EMA-crossover setup with real-time profit-and-loss tracking and a horizontal trailing-stop line, giving traders both clear entry/exit signals and built-in risk management.
How It Works
Dual EMAs – Calculates Fast and Slow EMAs.
Crossover Signals – Generates a Buy when the Fast EMA crosses above the Slow EMA, and a Sell when it crosses below.
PnL Lines & Labels – On every direction flip the script computes price difference × contracts, draws a line from entry to exit, and labels the result in green (profit) or red (loss).
Horizontal Trailing Stop – After price moves in profit by at least trailStartPips, a trail line is placed trailBufferPips away from the chosen EMA and moves only in the trade’s favour.
Practical Settings (plain-language guide)
Adjust Fast/Slow EMA lengths to suit your timeframe and the instrument’s volatility.
Enter your position size in Contracts so PnL lines reflect real cash values.
For shorter timeframes, lower trailStartPips and trailBufferPips; for swing trading, larger values work better.
Best used on 1-hour-and-above charts of liquid symbols (major FX pairs, gold, indices). Forward-test on demo first.
Advantages over a Basic EMA Cross
Instant visual feedback on each trade’s profit or loss.
Built-in horizontal trailing stop to lock in gains and limit downside.
Modular design – PnL and trailing features can be toggled on or off in the input panel.
Limitations & Disclaimer
Not repaint-safe on non-standard chart types such as Heikin Ashi or Renko.
PnL lines show raw price change only; commissions and slippage are not included.
Past performance does not guarantee future results – trade responsibly and test thoroughly.

Trend Strength Oscillator📌 What Is the Trend Strength Oscillator?
The Trend Strength Oscillator is a visual tool that helps traders understand the overall direction and strength of the market trend. Instead of using multiple indicators separately, this tool combines three trusted methods into one clear, color-coded bar chart. The bars change based on whether the market is strongly trending up, down, or just moving sideways.
Imagine it as a traffic light for trading:
• Green means it’s safe to consider buying (strong uptrend).
• Red means consider selling or avoiding longs (strong downtrend).
• Gray means wait, the market isn’t clearly trending.
🧠 How It Works — The 3 Main Components
1. EMA Slope
The EMA (Exponential Moving Average) tracks the average price but reacts more quickly to changes. If the EMA is rising, it means the market is likely moving upward. If it’s falling, the trend is likely downward.
2. RSI Direction
RSI (Relative Strength Index) measures momentum. This tool compares the RSI to its smoothed average. If the RSI is above its average, momentum is up. If it’s below, momentum is down.
3. ADX Strength
ADX (Average Directional Index) measures how strong a trend is, not the direction. So even if EMA and RSI agree on a trend, the ADX must confirm it’s strong enough to be worth trading.
Only when all three indicators agree do we consider it a strong trend.
🧮 What the Oscillator Shows
The result of combining those components is a number that becomes a colored bar:
• +2 means all three signals are bullish → green bar.
• -2 means all three signals are bearish → red bar.
• Anything else (e.g., mixed signals or weak ADX) → gray bar.
This makes the chart super easy to read at a glance, even for beginners.
📈 How to Use It in Trading
You can use the Trend Strength Oscillator in a few simple ways:
• Entering Trades:
Look for a green bar when you want to buy or go long. Look for a red bar when you want to sell or go short. These bars mean all systems are “go” in the same direction.
• Avoiding Mistakes:
If the bar is gray, it’s a warning that the market is undecided or weak. It’s often better to wait for a clearer signal rather than force a trade.
• Managing Existing Trades:
If you’re in a trade and the bar color shifts back to gray, that can be a clue that the trend is losing strength. You might tighten your stop-loss or take some profit.
🧭 Final Thoughts
This indicator doesn’t give you a trade entry every few minutes. Instead, it helps you stay on the right side of strong moves and avoid choppy or sideways markets. It’s especially helpful for:
• Trend-following traders
• People who want clean, simple visuals
• Beginners who get overwhelmed with too many indicators

Candle Ribbon [UkutaLabs]The Candle Ribbon is a powerful trading tool that creates a strong ribbon that indicates market strength. This ribbon is created using three moving averages that use the candle values (high, low, open and close) as its input values.
The center most MA will also be colored green, red or grey depending on whether or not its direction aligns with current market strength.
The outer band lines act as range indicators, plotted above and below the center ribbon, which represent volatility boundaries for price action.
█ USAGE
The Candle Ribbon is created using a series of three moving averages that uses values from the candle as its inputs. The user has the ability to select whether the moving averages are EMAs or SMAs, as well as the ability to control the period of the moving averages.
If the moving average calculated using the Candle Open is below the moving average calculated using the Candle Close, the ribbon will be colored green, indicating a bullish trend. If the moving average calculated using the Candle Open is above the moving average calculated using the Candle Open, the ribbon will be colored red, indicating a bearish trend.
This indicator also uses a series of hidden EMAs to determine market strength. If these EMAs do not align with the direction of the Candle Ribbon, the middle MA will instead be colored grey, indicating uncertainty in the market, as well as a possible reversal.
█ SETTINGS

Oculus Ultra Parallel S/R Channel**Oculus Ultra Parallel S/R Channel**
*Version 1.0 | Pine Script v6*
**Overview**
This indicator overlays a statistically-driven support/resistance channel on your chart by fitting a linear regression (median) line and plotting parallel bands at a configurable multiple of standard deviation. It adapts dynamically to both trend and volatility, highlights potential reaction zones, and offers optional alerts when price touches key levels.
**Key Features**
* **Median Regression Line**
Fits a best-fit line through the chosen lookback of price data, showing the underlying trend.
* **Volatility-Based Bands**
Upper and lower bands offset by *N*× standard deviation of regression residuals, capturing dynamic S/R zones.
* **Dynamic Coloring**
* Median line turns **teal** when sloping up, **orange** when sloping down.
* Bands tinted green or red depending on their position relative to the median.
* **Channel Fill**
Optional shaded area between the bands for immediate visual context.
* **Touch Alerts**
Precision alerts and on-chart markers when price touches the support or resistance band, with configurable tick tolerance.
* **Clean Layout**
Minimal lines and plots to avoid chart clutter, adjustable via toggle inputs.
**How to Use**
1. **Apply the Script** – Add to any timeframe in overlay mode.
2. **Configure Inputs** –
* **Channel Length**: Number of bars for regression and volatility calculation.
* **Deviation Factor**: Multiplier for band width (in standard deviations).
