MACD Enhanced [DCAUT]█ MACD Enhanced
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The MACD Enhanced represents a significant improvement over traditional MACD implementations. While Gerald Appel's original MACD from the 1970s was limited to exponential moving averages (EMA), this enhanced version expands algorithmic options by supporting 21 different moving average calculations for both the main MACD line and signal line independently.
This improvement addresses an important limitation of traditional MACD: the inability to adapt the indicator's mathematical foundation to different market conditions. By allowing traders to select from algorithms ranging from simple moving averages (SMA) for stability to advanced adaptive filters like Kalman Filter for noise reduction, this implementation changes MACD from a fixed-algorithm tool into a flexible instrument that can be adjusted for specific market environments and trading strategies.
The enhanced histogram visualization system uses a four-color gradient that helps communicate momentum strength and direction more clearly than traditional single-color histograms.
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
The core calculation maintains the proven MACD formula: Fast MA(source, fastLength) - Slow MA(source, slowLength), but extends it with algorithmic flexibility. The signal line applies the selected smoothing algorithm to the MACD line over the specified signal period, while the histogram represents the difference between MACD and signal lines.
Available Algorithms:
The implementation supports a comprehensive spectrum of technical analysis algorithms:
Basic Averages: SMA (arithmetic mean), EMA (exponential weighting), RMA (Wilder's smoothing), WMA (linear weighting)
Advanced Averages: HMA (Hull's low-lag), VWMA (volume-weighted), ALMA (Arnaud Legoux adaptive)
Mathematical Filters: LSMA (least squares regression), DEMA (double exponential), TEMA (triple exponential), ZLEMA (zero-lag exponential)
Adaptive Systems: T3 (Tillson T3), FRAMA (fractal adaptive), KAMA (Kaufman adaptive), MCGINLEY_DYNAMIC (reactive to volatility)
Signal Processing: ULTIMATE_SMOOTHER (low-pass filter), LAGUERRE_FILTER (four-pole IIR), SUPER_SMOOTHER (two-pole Butterworth), KALMAN_FILTER (state-space estimation)
Specialized: TMA (triangular moving average), LAGUERRE_BINOMIAL_FILTER (binomial smoothing)
Each algorithm responds differently to price action, allowing traders to match the indicator's behavior to market characteristics: trending markets benefit from responsive algorithms like EMA or HMA, while ranging markets require stable algorithms like SMA or RMA.
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Histogram Interpretation:
Positive Values: Indicate bullish momentum when MACD line exceeds signal line, suggesting upward price pressure and potential buying opportunities
Negative Values: Reflect bearish momentum when MACD line falls below signal line, indicating downward pressure and potential selling opportunities
Zero Line Crosses: MACD crossing above zero suggests transition to bullish bias, while crossing below indicates bearish bias shift
Momentum Changes: Rising histogram (regardless of positive/negative) signals accelerating momentum in the current direction, while declining histogram warns of momentum deceleration
Advanced Signal Recognition:
Divergences: Price making new highs/lows while MACD fails to confirm often precedes trend reversals
Convergence Patterns: MACD line approaching signal line suggests impending crossover and potential trade setup
Histogram Peaks: Extreme histogram values often mark momentum exhaustion points and potential reversal zones
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Comprehensive Trend Confirmation Strategies:
Primary Trend Validation Protocol:
Identify primary trend direction using higher timeframe (4H or Daily) MACD position relative to zero line
Confirm trend strength by analyzing histogram progression: consistent expansion indicates strong momentum, contraction suggests weakening
Use secondary confirmation from MACD line angle: steep angles (>45°) indicate strong trends, shallow angles suggest consolidation
Validate with price structure: trending markets show consistent higher highs/higher lows (uptrend) or lower highs/lower lows (downtrend)
Entry Timing Techniques:
Pullback Entries in Uptrends: Wait for MACD histogram to decline toward zero line without crossing, then enter on histogram expansion with MACD line still above zero
Breakout Confirmations: Use MACD line crossing above zero as confirmation of upward breakouts from consolidation patterns
Continuation Signals: Look for MACD line re-acceleration (steepening angle) after brief consolidation periods as trend continuation signals
Advanced Divergence Trading Systems:
Regular Divergence Recognition:
Bullish Regular Divergence: Price creates lower lows while MACD line forms higher lows. This pattern is traditionally considered a potential upward reversal signal, but should be combined with other confirmation signals
Bearish Regular Divergence: Price makes higher highs while MACD shows lower highs. This pattern is traditionally considered a potential downward reversal signal, but trading decisions should incorporate proper risk management
Hidden Divergence Strategies:
Bullish Hidden Divergence: Price shows higher lows while MACD displays lower lows, indicating trend continuation potential. Use for adding to existing long positions during pullbacks
Bearish Hidden Divergence: Price creates lower highs while MACD forms higher highs, suggesting downtrend continuation. Optimal for adding to short positions during bear market rallies
Multi-Timeframe Coordination Framework:
Three-Timeframe Analysis Structure:
Primary Timeframe (Daily): Determine overall market bias and major trend direction. Only trade in alignment with daily MACD direction
Secondary Timeframe (4H): Identify intermediate trend changes and major entry opportunities. Use for position sizing decisions
Execution Timeframe (1H): Precise entry and exit timing. Look for MACD line crossovers that align with higher timeframe bias
Timeframe Synchronization Rules:
Daily MACD above zero + 4H MACD rising = Strong uptrend context for long positions
Daily MACD below zero + 4H MACD declining = Strong downtrend context for short positions
Conflicting signals between timeframes = Wait for alignment or use smaller position sizes
1H MACD signals only valid when aligned with both higher timeframes
Algorithm Considerations by Market Type:
Trending Markets: Responsive algorithms like EMA, HMA may be considered, but effectiveness should be tested for specific market conditions
Volatile Markets: Noise-reducing algorithms like KALMAN_FILTER, SUPER_SMOOTHER may help reduce false signals, though results vary by market
Range-Bound Markets: Stability-focused algorithms like SMA, RMA may provide smoother signals, but individual testing is required
Short Timeframes: Low-lag algorithms like ZLEMA, T3 theoretically respond faster but may also increase noise
Important Note: All algorithm choices and parameter settings should be thoroughly backtested and validated based on specific trading strategies, market conditions, and individual risk tolerance. Different market environments and trading styles may require different configuration approaches.
📋 DETAILED PARAMETER CONFIGURATION
Comprehensive Source Selection Strategy:
Price Source Analysis and Optimization:
Close Price (Default): Most commonly used, reflects final market sentiment of each period. Best for end-of-day analysis, swing trading, daily/weekly timeframes. Advantages: widely accepted standard, good for backtesting comparisons. Disadvantages: ignores intraday price action, may miss important highs/lows
HL2 (High+Low)/2: Midpoint of the trading range, reduces impact of opening gaps and closing spikes. Best for volatile markets, gap-prone assets, forex markets. Calculation impact: smoother MACD signals, reduced noise from price spikes. Optimal when asset shows frequent gaps, high volatility during specific sessions
HLC3 (High+Low+Close)/3: Weighted average emphasizing the close while including range information. Best for balanced analysis, most asset classes, medium-term trading. Mathematical effect: 33% weight to high/low, 33% to close, provides compromise between close and HL2. Use when standard close is too noisy but HL2 is too smooth
OHLC4 (Open+High+Low+Close)/4: True average of all price points, most comprehensive view. Best for complete price representation, algorithmic trading, statistical analysis. Considerations: includes opening sentiment, smoothest of all options but potentially less responsive. Optimal for markets with significant opening moves, comprehensive trend analysis
Parameter Configuration Principles:
Important Note: Different moving average algorithms have distinct mathematical characteristics and response patterns. The same parameter settings may produce vastly different results when using different algorithms. When switching algorithms, parameter settings should be re-evaluated and tested for appropriateness.
Length Parameter Considerations:
Fast Length (Default 12): Shorter periods provide faster response but may increase noise and false signals, longer periods offer more stable signals but slower response, different algorithms respond differently to the same parameters and may require adjustment
Slow Length (Default 26): Should maintain a reasonable proportional relationship with fast length, different timeframes may require different parameter configurations, algorithm characteristics influence optimal length settings
Signal Length (Default 9): Shorter lengths produce more frequent crossovers but may increase false signals, longer lengths provide better signal confirmation but slower response, should be adjusted based on trading style and chosen algorithm characteristics
Comprehensive Algorithm Selection Framework:
MACD Line Algorithm Decision Matrix:
EMA (Standard Choice): Mathematical properties: exponential weighting, recent price emphasis. Best for general use, traditional MACD behavior, backtesting compatibility. Performance characteristics: good balance of speed and smoothness, widely understood behavior
SMA (Stability Focus): Equal weighting of all periods, maximum smoothness. Best for ranging markets, noise reduction, conservative trading. Trade-offs: slower signal generation, reduced sensitivity to recent price changes
HMA (Speed Optimized): Hull Moving Average, designed for reduced lag. Best for trending markets, quick reversals, active trading. Technical advantage: square root period weighting, faster trend detection. Caution: can be more sensitive to noise
KAMA (Adaptive): Kaufman Adaptive MA, adjusts smoothing based on market efficiency. Best for varying market conditions, algorithmic trading. Mechanism: fast smoothing in trends, slow smoothing in sideways markets. Complexity: requires understanding of efficiency ratio
Signal Line Algorithm Optimization Strategies:
Matching Strategy: Use same algorithm for both MACD and signal lines. Benefits: consistent mathematical properties, predictable behavior. Best when backtesting historical strategies, maintaining traditional MACD characteristics
Contrast Strategy: Use different algorithms for optimization. Common combinations: MACD=EMA, Signal=SMA for smoother crossovers, MACD=HMA, Signal=RMA for balanced speed/stability, Advanced: MACD=KAMA, Signal=T3 for adaptive behavior with smooth signals
Market Regime Adaptation: Trending markets: both fast algorithms (EMA/HMA), Volatile markets: MACD=KALMAN_FILTER, Signal=SUPER_SMOOTHER, Range-bound: both slow algorithms (SMA/RMA)
Parameter Sensitivity Considerations:
Impact of Parameter Changes:
Length Parameter Sensitivity: Small parameter adjustments can significantly affect signal timing, while larger adjustments may fundamentally change indicator behavior characteristics
Algorithm Sensitivity: Different algorithms produce different signal characteristics. Thoroughly test the impact on your trading strategy before switching algorithms
Combined Effects: Changing multiple parameters simultaneously can create unexpected effects. Recommendation: adjust parameters one at a time and thoroughly test each change

aEMA Cross - Long EditionaEMA Cross – Long Edition
Smart, Automated, and Rule-Based Trading Framework
Overview:
The aEMA Cross – Long Edition is an advanced automated trading system that intelligently identifies trends, filters weak signals, and manages trades with precision. It integrates EMA crossover logic, breakout candle confirmation, and time-based exits to help traders capture consistent opportunities while minimizing risk and manual intervention.
Designed and developed with algorithmic trading platforms in mind, the indicator can be seamlessly integrated with most Algo platforms through TradingView alerts for automated execution.
Note: The default setup is optimized for the ETHUSD chart.
Core Concept:
The strategy is built around two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
- Short EMA – Responds quickly to short-term market changes.
- Long EMA (default 200) – Represents the overall market trend.
When the Short EMA crosses specific buffer zones around the Long EMA, it confirms genuine momentum before generating Buy or Sell signals. This ensures cleaner and more reliable trade entries.
Key Features:
1. Signal Generation
• Dual logic modes: Candle-based or EMA-based signal detection.
• Breakout Candle System to confirm strong price movements before entries.
• Integrated RSI and ADX filters to ensure trades occur only in favorable market conditions.
2. Smart Trade Management
• Automated Target and Stoploss management.
• Trailing Stop Loss (TSL) dynamically locks in profits as prices move favorably.
• Sequential Signal Logic ensures no repeated or conflicting trade signals.
3. Universal Exit (Time-Based Auto Exit)
• Automatically exits all positions at a specified time (e.g., 23:40).
• Works consistently across all timeframes (1m, 3m, 5m, etc.).
• Can be configured for selected weekdays or every trading day.
• Prevents overnight exposure and resets trading cleanly for the next session.
4. Safety and Control
• EMA buffer zones help avoid false breakouts and choppy market signals.
• Blocks new entries after a Universal Exit until a fresh crossover occurs.
• Automatically resets breakout levels and internal logic daily for consistency.
5. Visualization and Alerts
• Plots EMAs, buffer zones, breakout levels, and entry/exit markers directly on the chart.
• Highlights the Universal Exit visually with background shading.
• Sends real-time alerts for Buy, Sell, Exit, and Universal Exit events.
Why It Stands Out:
• Works reliably across multiple timeframes.
• Fully rule-based with no emotional bias.
• Highly customizable – adjust filters, targets, buffers, and exit rules as needed.
• Complete framework – handles entry, management, and exit automatically.
• Engineered for compatibility – can be integrated with most Algo trading platforms.
How It Works:
1. The Short EMA and Long EMA define the primary market direction.
2. A breakout or EMA crossover triggers a potential signal.
3. RSI and ADX filters confirm market strength before allowing entry.
4. Target, Stoploss, and TSL manage trades automatically.
5. Universal Exit closes all trades at a defined time, resetting the logic for the next session.
How to Use:
1. Apply the aEMA Cross – Long Edition indicator to your chart.
2. Choose your primary logic: Candle-based or Short EMA-based.
3. Adjust RSI, ADX, Buffer, and Target/SL settings according to your trading style.
4. Configure Universal Exit time and alert options.
5. Use the “Once Per Bar Close” alert type for confirmed signals.
6. Always backtest your configuration before enabling automation or live execution.
Important Note on Alert Setup:
- When using the RSI filter, signals may fluctuate if RSI hovers near the trigger level. To avoid this, use “Once Per Bar Close” for stable and confirmed alerts.
- If RSI is disabled, “Once Per Bar” alerts can be safely used, even when the Breakout Candle High/Low Crossover option is enabled.
Disclaimer:

MILLION MEN - Peaks & Dips MeterWhat it is
The MILLION MEN — Peaks & Dips Meter is a dynamic momentum visualization tool designed to identify extreme strength and exhaustion zones. It uses two selectable engines:
RSI Meter (ZS Core) for classic strength analysis.
OB/OS Multi-Length (ZS Quick Core) for adaptive readings that reflect multi-period sentiment shifts.
How it works
The script computes normalized momentum values (0–100) from price dynamics, builds a smooth gradient representation, and displays it as a fixed right-bottom table. The meter color scales between fuchsia and green, with optional candle coloring and percentage labels.
It can also highlight overbought (peaks) and oversold (dips) moments directly on candles with adjustable ATR offsets and label styles.
How to use
Values near 90–100% → potential short-term exhaustion (watch for reversals).
Values near 0–10% → potential accumulation zones (possible bounces).
Use together with structure, volume, or trend filters for confirmation.
Originality
Unlike standard RSI tools, this script merges multi-length OB/OS detection with a real-time visual meter, optimized for scalpers and visual traders. It does not repaint and maintains a lightweight structure for fast responsiveness.
Limitations
This indicator is for analysis purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. Past readings do not guarantee future performance.
Oscillator CandlesticksI've always wondered why we don't use candlesticks for oscillators...then I stopped wondering and made an oscillator with candlesticks.
The following oscillators are available as a proof of concept:
* Consumer Channel Index (CCI)
* Rate of Change (ROC)
* Relative Strength Index (RSI)
* Trend Strength Index (TSI)
You can add a moving average to the ohlc4 value of the oscillator and choose the type of the moving average and whether it should be influenced by volume.

LA - MACD EMA BandsOverview of the "LA - MACD EMA Bands" Indicator
For Better view, use this indicator along with "LA - EMA Bands with MTF Dashboard"
The "LA - MACD EMA Bands" is a custom technical indicator written in Pine Script v6 for TradingView. It builds on the traditional Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator by incorporating additional smoothing via Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) and Bollinger Bands (BB) applied directly to the MACD line. This creates a multi-layered momentum and volatility tool displayed in a separate pane below the price chart (not overlaid on the price itself).
The indicator allows for customization, such as selecting a different timeframe (for multi-timeframe analysis) and adjusting period lengths. It fetches data from the specified timeframe using request.security with lookahead enabled to avoid repainting issues. The core idea is to provide insights into momentum trends, crossovers, and volatility expansions/contractions in the MACD's behavior, making it suitable for identifying potential trend reversals, continuations, or ranging markets.
Unlike a standard MACD, which focuses primarily on momentum via a single line, signal line, and histogram, this version emphasizes longer-term smoothing and volatility boundaries. It uses visual fills between lines to highlight bullish/bearish conditions, aiding quick interpretation. Below, I'll break down each component, its calculation, visual representation, and practical uses.
Detailed Breakdown of Each Component and Its Uses
MACD Line (Blue Line, Labeled 'MACD Line')
Calculation: This is the core MACD value, computed as the difference between a fast EMA (default length 12) and a slow EMA (default length 144) of the input source (default: close price). The EMAs are calculated on data from the selected timeframe.
Visuals: Plotted as a solid blue line.
Uses:
Measures momentum: When above zero, it indicates bullish momentum (prices rising faster in the short term); below zero, bearish momentum.
Trend identification: Rising MACD suggests strengthening uptrends; falling suggests downtrends.
Divergence spotting: Compare with price action—e.g., if price makes higher highs but MACD makes lower highs, it signals potential bearish reversal (and vice versa for bullish divergence).
In trading: Often used for entry/exit signals when crossing the zero line or other lines in the indicator.
MACD EMA (Red Line, Labeled 'MACD EMA')
Calculation: A 12-period EMA applied to the MACD Line itself.
Visuals: Plotted as a solid red line.
Uses:
Acts as a signal line for the MACD, smoothing out short-term noise.
Crossover signals: When the MACD Line crosses above the MACD EMA, it can signal a bullish buy opportunity; crossing below suggests a bearish sell.
Trend confirmation: Helps filter false signals in choppy markets by requiring confirmation from this slower-moving average.
In trading: Useful for momentum-based strategies, like entering trades on crossovers in alignment with the overall trend.
Fill Between MACD Line and MACD EMA (Green/Red Shaded Area, Titled 'MACD Fill')
Calculation: The area between the MACD Line and MACD EMA is filled with color based on their relative positions.
Color Logic: Green (with 57% transparency) if MACD Line > MACD EMA (bullish); red if MACD Line < MACD EMA (bearish).
Visuals: Semi-transparent fill for easy visibility without overwhelming the lines.
Uses:
Quick visual cue for momentum shifts: Green areas highlight bullish phases; red for bearish.
Enhances readability: Makes crossovers more apparent at a glance, especially in fast-moving markets.
In trading: Can be used to time entries/exits or as a filter (e.g., only take long trades in green zones).
Bollinger Bands on MACD (BB Upper: Black Dotted, BB Basis: Maroon Dotted, BB Lower: Black Dotted)
Calculation: Bollinger Bands applied to the MACD Line.
BB Basis: 144-period EMA of the MACD Line.
BB Standard Deviation: 144-period stdev of the MACD Line.
BB Upper: BB Basis + (2.0 * BB Stdev)
BB Lower: BB Basis - (2.0 * BB Stdev)
Visuals: Upper and lower bands as black dotted lines; basis as maroon dotted
Uses:
Volatility measurement: Bands expand during high momentum volatility (strong trends) and contract during low volatility (ranging or consolidation).
Mean reversion: When MACD Line touches or exceeds the upper band, it may signal overbought conditions (potential sell); lower band for oversold (potential buy).
Squeeze detection: Narrow bands (squeeze) often precede big moves—watch for breakouts.
In trading: Combines momentum with volatility; e.g., a MACD Line breakout above the upper band could confirm a strong uptrend.
BB Basis EMA (Green Line, Labeled 'BB Basis EMA')
Calculation: A 72-period EMA applied to the BB Basis (which is already a 144-period EMA of the MACD Line).
Visuals: Solid green line.
Uses:
Further smoothing: Provides a longer-term view of the MACD's average behavior, reducing noise from the BB Basis.
Trend direction: Acts as a baseline for the BB system—above it suggests bullish bias in momentum volatility; below, bearish.
Crossover with BB Basis: Can signal shifts in volatility trends (e.g., BB Basis crossing above BB Basis EMA indicates increasing bullish volatility).
In trading: Useful for confirming longer-term trends or as a filter for BB-based signals.
Fill Between BB Basis and BB Basis EMA (Gray Shaded Area, Titled 'BB Basis Fill')
Calculation: The area between BB Basis and BB Basis EMA is filled.
Color Logic: Currently set to a constant semi-transparent gray regardless of position.
Visuals: Semi-transparent gray fill.
Uses:
Highlights divergence: Shows when the shorter-term BB Basis deviates from its longer-term EMA, indicating potential volatility shifts.
Visual aid for crossovers: Makes it easier to spot when BB Basis crosses its EMA.
In trading: Could be used to identify overextensions in volatility (e.g., wide gray areas might signal impending mean reversion).
Zero Line (Black Horizontal Line)
Calculation: A simple horizontal line at y=0.
Visuals: Solid black line.
Uses:
Reference point: Divides bullish (above) from bearish (below) territory for all MACD-related lines.
In trading: Crossovers of the zero line by the MACD Line or BB Basis can signal major trend changes.
How It Differs from a Normal MACD
A standard MACD (e.g., the built-in TradingView MACD with defaults 12/26/9) consists of:
MACD Line: EMA(12) - EMA(26).
Signal Line: EMA(MACD Line, 9).
Histogram: MACD Line - Signal Line (bars showing convergence/divergence).
Key differences in "LA - MACD EMA Bands":
Periods: Uses a much longer slow EMA (144 vs. 26), making it more sensitive to long-term trends but less reactive to short-term price action. The MACD EMA is 12 periods (vs. 9), further emphasizing smoothing.
No Histogram: Replaces the histogram with fills and bands for visual emphasis on crossovers and volatility.
Added Bollinger Bands: Applies BB directly to the MACD Line (with a long 144-period basis), introducing volatility analysis absent in standard MACD. This helps detect "squeezes" or expansions in momentum.
Additional EMA Layer: The BB Basis EMA (72-period) adds a secondary smoothing level to the BB system, providing a hierarchical view of momentum (short-term MACD → mid-term BB → long-term EMA).
Multi-Timeframe Support: Built-in option for higher timeframes, unlike basic MACD.
Focus: Standard MACD is purely momentum-focused; this version integrates volatility (via BB) and multi-layer smoothing, making it better for trend-following in volatile markets but potentially overwhelming for beginners.
Overall, this indicator transforms the MACD from a simple oscillator into a comprehensive momentum-volatility hybrid, reducing false signals in trending markets but introducing lag.
Overall Pros and Cons
Pros:
Enhanced Visualization: Fills and bands make trends, crossovers, and volatility easier to spot without needing multiple indicators.
Reduced Noise: Longer periods (144, 72) smooth out whipsaws, ideal for swing or position trading in trending assets like stocks or forex.
Volatility Integration: BB adds a dimension not in standard MACD, helping identify breakouts or consolidations.
Customizable: Inputs for timeframes and lengths allow adaptation to different assets/timeframes.
Multi-Layered Insights: Combines short-term signals (MACD crossovers) with long-term confirmation (BB EMA), improving signal reliability.
Cons:
Lagging Nature: Long periods (e.g., 144) delay signals, missing early entries in fast markets or leading to late exits.
Complexity: Multiple lines and fills can clutter the pane, requiring experience to interpret; beginners might misread it.
Potential Overfitting: Custom periods (12/144/12/144/72) may work well on historical data but underperform in live trading without backtesting.
No Built-in Alerts/Signals: Relies on visual interpretation; users must manually set alerts for crossovers.
Resource Intensive: On lower timeframes or with lookahead, it might slow chart loading on Trading View.
This indicator shines in strategies combining momentum and volatility, like trend-following with BB squeezes, but test it on your assets (e.g., via backtesting) to ensure it fits your style.

Momentum Variance OscillatorWhat MVO measures:
-PV (Price-Volume) Oscillator – how far price is from a volatility-scaled basis, then weighted by relative volume.
- > 0 = bullish pressure; < 0 = bearish pressure.
-|PV| larger ⇒ stronger momentum.
-Signal line (EMA of PV) – a smoother track of PV; crossings flag momentum shifts.
-Zero line gradient – instantly shows direction (greenish bull / reddish bear) and strength (paler → stronger).
-Extreme bands (±obLevel) – “hot zone” thresholds; being beyond them = exceptional push.
-Variance histogram – MACD-like view (PV minus slower PV-EMA) to see thrust building vs. fading.
-(Optional) Bar coloring & background tint – paints price bars and/or the panel on key events so you can read the regime at a glance.
-Auto-Tune – searches a grid of (obLevel, weakLvl) pairs and (optionally) auto-applies the best, ranked by CAGR vs. drawdown.
Core signals & how to trade them:
1) Define the regime:
-Bullish regime: PV above 0 and/or PV above Signal; zero line is in bull gradient.
-Bearish regime: PV below 0 and/or PV below Signal; zero line is in bear gradient.
-Action: Prefer trades with the regime (avoid fading strong color/strength unless you have a clear reversal setup).
2) Entries:
Momentum entry:
-Long: PV crosses above Signal while PV > 0.
-Short: PV crosses below Signal while PV < 0.
Breakout/acceleration:
-Long add-on: PV crosses above +obLevel (extreme top) and holds.
-Short add-on: PV crosses below −obLevel (extreme bottom) and holds.
-Histogram confirm: Growing bars in your direction = thrust improving; shrinking/flip = thrust stalling.
3) Exits / risk:
-Soft exit / tighten stops: PV loses the extreme and re-enters inside, or histogram fades/turns against you.
-Hard exit / reverse: Opposite PV↔Signal crossover and PV crosses the zero line.
-Weak zone filter: If |PV| < weakLvl, treat signals as lower quality (smaller size or skip).
4) Practical setup - Suggested defaults (good starting point):
-Signal length: 26
-Volume power: 0.50
-obLevel (extreme): 2.00
-weakLvl: 0.75
-Show histogram & dots: On
-Auto-Tune (recommended)
-Turn Auto-Select Best ON. MVO will scan obLevel 1.50→3.00 (step 0.05) and weakLvl 0.50→1.00 (step 0.05), then use the top-ranked pair (CAGR/(1+MDD)).
-If you want to see the top combos, enable the Optimizer Table (Top-3).
5) Visual options
-Bar Colors: Regime+Strength – bars follow the zero-line gradient (great for quick read).
-Extremes – paint only when beyond ±obLevel.
-Cross Signals – paint only on the bar that crosses an extreme.
-Background on breach: A one-bar tint when PV crosses an extreme.
6) Example playbook:
Long setup:
-Zero line shows bull gradient and PV > 0.
-PV crosses above Signal (entry).
-If PV drives above +obLevel, consider add-on; trail under the last minor swing or use ATR.
-Exit/trim on PV crossing below Signal or histogram turning negative; flatten on a drop through 0.
Short setup mirrors the above on the bear side.
7) Tips to avoid common traps:
-Don’t fade strong extremes without clear confirmation (e.g., PV re-entering inside + histogram flip).
-Respect the weak zone: if |PV| < weakLvl, signals are fragile—size down or wait.
-Align with structure: higher-timeframe trend and SR improve expectancy.
-Instrument personality matters: use Auto-Tune or re-calibrate obLevel/weakLvl across assets/timeframes.
8) Alerts you can set:
-Bull Signal X – PV crossed above Signal
-Bear Signal X – PV crossed below Signal
-Bull Baseline X – PV crossed above 0
-Bear Baseline X – PV crossed below 0
Overnight Z/VolRatio SignalThis indicator highlights overnight setups where both volatility expansion and prior-day range deviation suggest directional opportunity at the RTH open.
It calculates:
• Overnight Z-Score (Z_long): how far the overnight session’s range tilts from the 20-day overnight mean, standardized by its standard deviation.
• VolRatio: ratio of the current RTH session volume to the 20-day average, a proxy for participation and conviction.
Signal Logic (LONG bias)
A long-bias condition triggers when:
• Z_long ≥ 0.40 (overnight tilt strongly positive)
• VolRatio ≥ 1.30 (above-average RTH volume)
• Optional filters: R1/R4 region alignment, YDH/YDL proximity, and other context flags.
Visuals mark qualifying days with colored labels and session highlights.
It is intended as a context signal — not an auto-trading system — for SPY/SPX/ES or correlated large-cap indices.
Usage Notes
• Works best when applied to daily or intraday 5m chart with extended hours enabled.
• Typical exit: ~150 minutes after 09:30 ET.
• Fridays are optionally excluded to avoid expiration-related distortions.
MACD Zones (Background Only)Indicator which shows the convergence and divergence zones directly on the graph by highlighting in red (convergence) and green (divergence).
MACD-V+ (ATR Normalized MACD)MACD-V+ is an ATR-normalized MACD tool that focuses on true turning points inside Overbought/Oversold zones. It marks a signal only when the MACD’s slope changes direction and shows real progress back toward the zero line, with an optional dwell (depth & time) filter so you don’t get faked out by shallow pokes into a zone. Clean visuals, “first-in-zone” gating, and configurable labeling make it practical for discretionary and systematic traders alike.
For best results, adjust Overbought and Oversold levels based on stock volatility. The default settings of 150 and -150 are for highly volatile tickers. Reduce for less volatile tickers.

LBR Oscillator with Signals & AlertsLinda Bradford Raschke MacD indicator. Has alerts and can be used in the pine screener on different timeframes.
BUY, SELL, RESUME, & CAUTION signal (EMA 9 & 20 + MACD) ON CHART BUY, SELL, CAUTION signal (with RESUME)
What it does
A clean, on-chart signal set that works on whatever timeframe your chart is on. It prints labeled circles above the bar and draws a thin connector line with a tiny arrow that points to the bar. All shapes are kept above both EMAs and never touch wicks—spacing is ATR-based and fully adjustable.
Signals
• BUY – when EMA(9) crosses above EMA(20).
• SELL – when EMA(9) crosses below EMA(20).
• CAUTION – MACD momentum crosses against the current EMA trend
◦ Bull trend (EMA9 > EMA20) + MACD cross down → CAUTION
◦ Bear trend (EMA9 < EMA20) + MACD cross up → CAUTION
• RESUME – after a CAUTION, MACD crosses back with the EMA trend. The circle is labeled “RESUME” (green for bull, red for bear).
Why traders use it
• Trade with the current: BUY/SELL reflect short-vs-long EMA control on your active timeframe.
• Early risk heads-up: CAUTION flags a momentum flip against trend.
• Re-engage cleanly: RESUME helps rejoin the move after a wobble.
• Uncluttered visuals: Circles/lines/arrows are spaced off price and kept above EMAs for clarity.
Inputs
Core
• EMA Fast / EMA Slow (default 9 / 20)
• MACD Fast / Slow / Signal (default 12 / 26 / 9)
• Show circles with text, Plot EMAs
• Wait for candle close (prevents intrabar flicker; signals/alerts confirm at close)
Spacing (ATR-based)
• Gap above wick
• Base connector length
• Extra circle lift
• Line top gap under circle (so the line doesn’t touch the circle)
• Pad above higher EMA
• Extra arrow clearance above EMAs
Alerts
• BUY Crossover, SELL Crossover, MACD CAUTION, BUY Resume, SELL Resume.
• Respect the Wait for candle close setting. For close-only alerts, also choose “Once per bar close” in the alert dialog.
Suggested use
• Let BUY/SELL define bias on your chart timeframe.
• Treat CAUTION as a brake—tighten risk or wait.
• Use RESUME to re-enter when momentum realigns with trend.
• Combine with higher-TF context and your own entry/exit rules.
Notes
• Works on futures, stocks, FX, and crypto.
• Signals are calculated on the current chart timeframe (no security calls).
• With Wait for candle close ON, signals/alerts confirm at close and do not repaint.
• Educational tool only—this is not financial advice.
• When price action is sideways and choppy, this indicator doesn't function well, when this happens, wait until a trend is established and then try to get in when price touches the 9 EMA line for a higher profitability trade
LBR 3/10 'Sardine' Oscillator (ATR-Normalized)LBR 3/10 Oscillator - Short-Term Momentum Indicator
The LBR 3/10 "Sardine" Oscillator is a short-term momentum indicator developed by Linda Bradford Raschke. This ATR-normalized version provides cross-market comparability and consistent extreme levels across all timeframes and asset classes.
What is the LBR 3/10 Oscillator?
The LBR 3/10 is designed to capture very short-term momentum shifts by measuring the difference between a 3-period and 10-period moving average. Named after Linda Bradford Raschke's "Trading Sardines" book, this oscillator excels at identifying rapid momentum changes and potential reversal points.
Formula: / ATR(10) × 100
Where MA can be either Simple Moving Average (SMA) or Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
Why ATR Normalization?
Problem with Traditional Oscillators:
Traditional momentum oscillators produce values that vary dramatically across different markets and time periods. A reading of 5 might be extreme for one asset but insignificant for another.
Solution:
ATR normalization divides the raw momentum value by the Average True Range, creating standardized readings that are:
Comparable Across Markets: Same interpretation whether analyzing stocks, forex, commodities, or crypto
Comparable Across Time: Readings maintain consistent meaning regardless of price levels
Universal Extreme Levels: The ±125 levels work consistently across all assets and timeframes
Statistical Research
Extensive statistical analysis across multiple markets identified the ±125 extreme levels:
+125 Level: Reached approximately 4% of the time (extreme bullish momentum)
-125 Level: Reached approximately 2% of the time (extreme bearish momentum)
These statistically-validated levels provide objective definitions for overbought and oversold conditions, eliminating subjective interpretation.
Key Features

Trading Applications
1. Extreme Level Reversals
When the oscillator reaches ±125, it indicates stretched momentum conditions:
Above +125: Overbought - watch for bearish reversal signals
Below -125: Oversold - watch for bullish reversal signals
2. Signal Line Crossovers
Bullish Cross: Oscillator crosses above signal line (momentum shift up)
Bearish Cross: Oscillator crosses below signal line (momentum shift down)
3. Zero Line Crosses
Signal line crossing zero indicates trend regime changes:
Cross Above 0: Transition to bullish trend
Cross Below 0: Transition to bearish trend
4. Divergence Trading
Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower low, oscillator makes higher low
Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher high, oscillator makes lower high
Best used in combination with other momentum indicators for confirmation
5. Pullback Strategy (High-Probability Setup)
Uptrend Pullback: Signal line positive + oscillator crosses below (buy opportunity)
Downtrend Pullback: Signal line negative + oscillator crosses above (sell opportunity)
First Pullback: Initial counter-trend signal after trend change (highest probability)
6. "Anti" Setup
Linda Bradford Raschke's classic setup:
Wait for extreme reading (±125)
Enter on first pullback signal in opposite direction
Captures momentum exhaustion reversals

MACD-V+MACD-V+ Indicator - Advanced Momentum Analysis
The MACD-V+ indicator is an enhanced version of the volatility-normalized MACD methodology developed by Alex Spiroglou. This approach addresses critical limitations of traditional MACD through ATR-based volatility normalization, providing comparable values across time and markets.
What is MACD-V?
MACD-V applies Average True Range (ATR) normalization to traditional MACD, creating a universal momentum indicator that works consistently across all markets and timeframes. The methodology was developed through extensive statistical research analyzing multiple markets and timeframes.
Formula: × 100
This normalization transforms MACD from price-dependent values into standardized momentum readings.
Traditional MACD Limitations
Limitation 1: Non-Comparable Values Across Time
Traditional MACD values cannot be compared across different time periods due to varying price levels. S&P 500 maximum MACD was 1.56 in 1957-1971, but reached 86.31 in 2019-2021 - not indicating 55x stronger momentum, but simply different price scales.
Solution: MACD-V provides comparable historical values where a reading of 100 today has the same mathematical meaning as 100 in any previous period.
Limitation 2: Non-Comparable Across Markets
Traditional MACD cannot compare momentum between different assets. S&P 500 MACD of 65 versus EUR/USD MACD of -0.5 reflects price differences, not relative strength.
Solution: MACD-V creates universal levels that work across all markets. The ±150 extreme levels apply consistently whether analyzing stocks, bonds, commodities, or currencies.
Limitation 3: No Objective Momentum System
Traditional MACD lacks universal overbought or oversold level definitions, making systematic analysis difficult.
Solution: MACD-V provides an objective 7-stage momentum lifecycle system with clearly defined zones and state transitions.
Limitation 4: Signal Line False Signals
In low momentum environments, traditional MACD generates multiple false signals as the line oscillates near zero.
Solution: MACD-V filters signal quality by identifying neutral zones (-50 to +50) where signal reliability is lower.
Limitation 5: Signal Line Timing Lag
During extreme momentum, traditional MACD signal line lags significantly due to large separation from the MACD line.
Solution: MACD-V anticipates timing issues in extreme momentum environments (±150) through zone-based analysis and lifecycle states.

Exit/Reduce: When state reaches "OVERBOUGHT" or "OVERSOLD" (extreme levels)
Avoid Trading: When state is "RANGING" (low momentum, unreliable signals)
2. Zone-Based Trading
Rally Zone (+50 to +150): Look for pullback entries (histogram dips)
Rebound Zone (-50 to -150): Look for bounce entries (histogram rises)
Extreme Zones (±150+): Prepare for reversal or take profits
Ranging Zone (-50 to +50): Wait for breakout confirmation
3. Signal Line Crossovers
Bullish Cross: MACD-V crosses above Signal line (momentum shift up)
Bearish Cross: MACD-V crosses below Signal line (momentum shift down)
Quality Filter: Trust crossovers in Rally/Rebound zones, ignore in Ranging zone
4. Zero Line Crosses
Cross Above 0: Transition to bullish regime
Cross Below 0: Transition to bearish regime
Trend Confirmation: Strong trends keep MACD-V on same side of zero
5. Histogram Extreme Strategy
Above +40: Short-term overbought - potential pullback
Below -40: Short-term oversold - potential bounce
Use with Trend: Buy dips to -40 in uptrend, sell rallies to +40 in downtrend
6. Strength Multiplier Analysis
> 1.75: Strong acceleration - powerful momentum, trend continuation highly likely
1.25 to 1.75: Moderate progression - normal healthy trend strength
0.75 to 1.25: Trend continuation - stable momentum near average strength
0.25 to 0.75: Watch for reversal - momentum weakening significantly
< 0.25: Trend exhaustion - very weak momentum, reversal possible

Best Practices
Trending Markets
Focus on "RALLYING" or "REVERSING" states for entries
Use histogram pullbacks (±40) for position additions
Monitor strength multiplier - exit if drops below 0.25
Take profits in extreme zones (±150+)
Yellow MA crossing histogram warns of momentum shift
Ranging Markets
Avoid trading when state is "RANGING"
Wait for clear zone entry (Rally/Rebound zone)
Use shorter timeframes for precision
Reduce position sizes due to lower reliability
Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Higher timeframe: Identify market regime (lifecycle state)
Lower timeframe: Time precise entries (histogram pullbacks)
Alignment: Trade only when both timeframes agree on direction
Risk Management
Reduce position size in extreme zones (±150+)
Use lifecycle state changes for stop-loss placement
Scale out of positions when strength multiplier < 0.25
Avoid counter-trend trades in strong states (RALLYING/REVERSING)
Watch yellow MA - when it crosses below histogram absolute value, momentum weakening
Combining with LBR 3/10-V Indicator
MACD-V+ and LBR 3/10-V create a powerful two-timeframe momentum system for strategic direction and tactical timing.
Strategic Filter: MACD-V+ determines WHETHER to trade (market regime)
Tactical Precision: LBR 3/10-V determines WHEN to enter (timing)
Double Confirmation: Both indicators must agree on direction
Lifecycle Management: Exit when MACD-V+ state changes
Strength Validation: Use MACD-V+ multiplier for position sizing
Extreme Respect: Both hitting extremes = high reversal probability
Methodology
MACD-V methodology is based on volatility normalization using Average True Range (ATR). This approach transforms traditional MACD into a universal momentum indicator with statistically-validated zones and objectively-defined states.
The indicator implements:
ATR-based normalization for cross-market comparability
Statistical analysis for universal zone definitions (±150, ±50)
Lifecycle state system for objective trend identification
Absolute histogram MA with direction-aware visualization (ATR-length period)
Strength multiplier: ratio of current to average absolute momentum (always positive)
Dynamic status table adapting to active trend filters
MACD-V+ transforms momentum analysis from subjective interpretation into objective, quantifiable measurements. Combined with LBR 3/10-V for tactical timing, it provides a complete framework for systematic trading across all financial markets and timeframes.
This indicator is designed for educational and analytical purposes. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always conduct thorough research and consider consulting with financial professionals before making investment decisions.
RSI with Dynamic Overbought/Oversold Levels [SwissAlgo]RSI with Dynamic Overbought/Oversold Levels
RSI indicator with adaptive overbought/oversold levels based on percentile analysis instead of fixed thresholds 30/70.
----------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
Traditional RSI uses static 30/70 levels that may fail to adapt to changing market conditions. This indicator calculates dynamic overbought/oversold zones based on recent price behavior, providing context-aware signals across dynamic volatility regimes.
----------------------------------------------------------------
KEY FEATURES
Dynamic percentile bands (98th, 95th, 90th, 10th, 5th, 2nd) that automatically adjust to current market volatility
Color-coded RSI line: red when above 98th percentile (extreme overbought), green when below 2nd percentile (extreme oversold), purple otherwise
Highlighted extreme zones with subtle background fills for easy visual identification
Adjustable responsiveness: Fast (50 bars), Medium (100 bars), or Slow (200 bars) for different trading styles and timeframes
Optional smoothing MA with multiple types: SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA
Built-in alerts for extreme overbought/oversold conditions
----------------------------------------------------------------
HOW IT WORKS
The indicator tracks RSI values over a rolling window and calculates percentile ranks. When RSI reaches its 98th percentile, it means current momentum is stronger than 98% of recent readings — signaling a potentially extreme overbought condition relative to recent behavior, not just an arbitrary fixed level.
----------------------------------------------------------------
USAGE
Watch for RSI entering colored extreme zones (red/green fills) for potential exhaustion signals
Use the 90th/10th percentile bands as early warning levels
Combine with price action, support/resistance, or other indicators and your own analysis for confirmation
Adjust responsiveness based on your timeframe
----------------------------------------------------------------
SETTINGS
RSI Length: Standard 14-period default, adjustable
RSI Source: Close price default, customizable
Responsiveness: Choose how quickly percentile bands adapt to new data
Smoothing: Optional moving average overlay on RSI
Show Percentile Bands: Toggle visibility of dynamic levels
----------------------------------------------------------------
ALERTS
Two alert conditions are available:
RSI Extreme Overbought (crosses above 98th percentile)
RSI Extreme Oversold (crosses below 2nd percentile)
----------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES
Percentile levels recalculate as new data arrives, providing adaptive context rather than fixed historical values. This is intentional; the indicator shows where RSI stands relative to recent market behavior, not potentially outdated static thresholds.
----------------------------------------------------------------
LIMITATIONS & DISCLAIMER
PERCENTILE RECALCULATION
This indicator uses rolling percentile calculations that update as new price data arrives. Historical percentile levels may shift slightly as the lookback window moves forward . This is by design; the indicator provides context relative to recent market behavior, not static historical thresholds. Users should be aware that backtest results may differ slightly from real-time performance due to this adaptive nature.
NO PREDICTIVE CLAIMS
This indicator identifies when RSI reaches extreme levels relative to recent history. It does NOT predict future price movements, guarantee reversals, or provide trading signals. Extreme overbought/oversold conditions can persist during strong trends, price may continue moving in the same direction even after entering extreme zones.
ALERT TIMING
Alerts trigger when RSI crosses percentile thresholds on bar close. In fast-moving markets, significant price movement may occur between alert generation and user response. Always confirm conditions and DYOR before taking action.
