Combined Predictive Indicator### Summary
The **Combined Predictive Indicator** is a comprehensive tool designed to provide traders with a multi-faceted view of potential future price action. It merges several well-known analytical concepts into a single, cohesive indicator, helping to identify key levels of support, resistance, and volatility-based price targets.
This script is an amalgamation of two different concepts:
1. A prediction model based on historical range, ATR, and Fibonacci levels.
2. The "Predictive Ranges" concept, which uses an adaptive ATR-based moving average to project dynamic support and resistance zones.
### Key Components
**1. Original Prediction Model:**
* **Bollinger Bands (BB):** Standard volatility bands that help gauge whether prices are high or low on a relative basis.
* **ATR-Based Predicted Range:** A channel calculated using the Average True Range (ATR) and the average historical bar range. This provides a statistically-based estimate of the potential trading range for the next period. The upper band (green) and lower band (red) represent potential bullish and bearish targets.
* **Fibonacci Levels:** Automatically drawn based on the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined lookback period. These classic 0.382 and 0.618 levels act as potential retracement or target zones.
* **HH/LL Markers:** Small triangles appear above or below the price bars to signal a new Highest High (HH) or Lowest Low (LL) within the lookback period, helping to identify shifts in market structure.
**2. Predictive Ranges (PR):**
* This component calculates five dynamic levels based on an adaptive moving average. When the price moves significantly away from the average, the levels recalculate and project new zones.
* **Resistance Levels (PR Upper 1 & 2):** Red zones that indicate potential areas of selling pressure.
* **Support Levels (PR Lower 1 & 2):** Green zones that indicate potential areas of buying pressure.
* **Average (PR Average):** The blue line serves as the centerline or equilibrium point for the ranges.
**3. Data Table:**
* A convenient table is displayed on the top-right of the chart, showing the real-time values of all key predictive levels. This allows for a quick glance without having to hover over the plotted lines.
### How to Use
* **Confluence is Key:** Look for areas where multiple levels from different components overlap. For example, if the `Predicted Upper Range` aligns with a `PR Upper` resistance level and a `Fibonacci` level, it signifies a strong area of potential resistance.
* **Range Trading:** The `Predicted Range` (gray-filled area) can be used to identify the expected volatility. Prices moving outside this range could signal a strong breakout.
* **Trend Confirmation:** Use the `New HH/LL` markers to confirm trend direction. A series of new higher highs and higher lows suggests an uptrend, and vice-versa.
* **Dynamic S/R:** The `Predictive Ranges` are excellent for identifying dynamic support and resistance in trending or ranging markets. Watch for price reactions as it approaches these zones.
### Settings
* **Original Indicators:** Customize the lengths for Bollinger Bands, ATR, and the HH/LL lookback period. Adjust Fibonacci levels if needed.
* **Predictive Ranges:** Adjust the `Length`, `Factor` (multiplier for ATR), `Timeframe`, and `Source` to fine-tune the sensitivity and responsiveness of the PR levels.

Markov Chain Trend ProbabilityA Markov Chain is a mathematical model that predicts future states based on the current state, assuming that the future depends only on the present (not the past). Originally developed by Russian mathematician Andrey Markov, this concept is widely used in:
Finance: Risk modeling, portfolio optimization, credit scoring, algorithmic trading
Weather Forecasting: Predicting sunny/rainy days, temperature patterns, storm tracking
Here's an example of a Markov chain: If the weather is sunny, the probability that will be sunny 30 min later is say 90%. However, if the state changes, i.e. it starts raining, how the probability that will be raining 30 min later is say 70% and only 30% sunny.
Similar concept can be applied to markets price action and trends.
Mathematical Foundation
The core principle follows the Markov Property: P(X_{t+1}|X_t, X_{t-1}, ..., X_0) = P(X_{t+1}|X_t)
Transition Matrix :
-------------Next State
Current----
--------P11 P12
-----P21 P22
Probability Calculations:
P(Up→Up) = Count(Up→Up) / Count(Up states)
P(Down→Down) = Count(Down→Down) / Count(Down states)
Steady-state probability: π = πP (where π is the stationary distribution)
State Definition:
State = UPTREND if (Price_t - Price_{t-n})/ATR > threshold
State = DOWNTREND if (Price_t - Price_{t-n})/ATR < -threshold
How It Works in Trading
This indicator applies Markov Chain theory to market trends by:
Defining States: Classifies market conditions as UPTREND or DOWNTREND based on price movement relative to ATR (Average True Range)
Learning Transitions: Analyzes historical data to calculate probabilities of moving from one state to another
Predicting Probabilities: Estimates the likelihood of future trend continuation or reversal
How to Use
Parameters:
Lookback Period: Number of bars to analyze for trend detection (default: 14)
ATR Threshold: Sensitivity multiplier for state changes (default: 0.5)
Historical Periods: Sample size for probability calculations (default: 33)
Trading Applications:
Trend confirmation for entry/exit decisions
Risk assessment through probability analysis
Market regime identification
Early warning system for potential trend reversals
The indicator works on any timeframe and asset class. Enjoy!
PRO Investing - Apex EnginePRO Investing - Apex Engine
1. Core Concept: Why Does This Indicator Exist?
Traditional momentum oscillators like RSI or Stochastic use a fixed "lookback period" (e.g., 14). This creates a fundamental problem: a 14-period setting that works well in a fast, trending market will generate constant false signals in a slow, choppy market, and vice-versa. The market's character is dynamic, but most tools are static.
The Apex Engine was built to solve this problem. Its primary innovation is a self-optimizing core that continuously adapts to changing market conditions. Instead of relying on one fixed setting, it actively tests three different momentum profiles (Fast, Mid, and Slow) in real-time and selects the one that is most synchronized with the current price action.
This is not just a random combination of indicators; it's a deliberate synthesis designed to create a more robust momentum tool. It combines:
Volatility analysis (ATR) to generate adaptive lookback periods.
Momentum measurement (ROC) to gauge the speed of price changes.
Statistical analysis (Correlation) to validate which momentum measurement is most effective right now.
Classic trend filters (Moving Average, ADX) to ensure signals are only taken in favorable market conditions.
The result is an oscillator that aims to be more responsive in volatile trends and more stable in quiet periods, providing a more intelligent and adaptive signal.
2. How It Works: The Engine's Three-Stage Process
To be transparent, it's important to understand the step-by-step logic the indicator follows on every bar. It's a process of Adapt -> Validate -> Signal.
Stage 1: Adapt (Dynamic Length Calculation)
The engine first measures market volatility using the Average True Range (ATR) relative to its own long-term average. This creates a volatility_factor. In high-volatility environments, this factor causes the base calculation lengths to shorten. In low-volatility, they lengthen. This produces three potential Rate of Change (ROC) lengths: dynamic_fast_len, dynamic_mid_len, and dynamic_slow_len.
Stage 2: Validate (Self-Optimizing Mode Selection)
This is the core of the engine. It calculates the ROC for all three dynamic lengths. To determine which is best, it uses the ta.correlation() function to measure how well each ROC's movement has correlated with the actual bar-to-bar price changes over the "Optimization Lookback" period. The ROC length with the highest correlation score is chosen as the most effective profile for the current moment. This "active" mode is reflected in the oscillator's color and the dashboard.
Stage 3: Signal (Normalized Velocity Oscillator)
The winning ROC series is then normalized into a consistent oscillator (the Velocity line) that ranges from -100 (extreme oversold) to +100 (extreme overbought). This ensures signals are comparable across any asset or timeframe. Signals are only generated when this Velocity line crosses its signal line and the trend filters (explained below) give a green light.
3. How to Use the Indicator: A Practical Guide
Reading the Visuals:
Velocity Line (Blue/Yellow/Pink): The main oscillator line. Its color indicates which mode is active (Fast, Mid, or Slow).
Signal Line (White): A moving average of the Velocity line. Crossovers generate potential signals.
Buy/Sell Triangles (▲ / ▼): These are your primary entry signals. They are intentionally strict and only appear when momentum, trend, and price action align.
Background Color (Green/Red/Gray): This is your trend context.
Green: Bullish trend confirmed (e.g., price above a rising 200 EMA and ADX > 20). Only Buy signals (▲) can appear.
Red: Bearish trend confirmed. Only Sell signals (▼) can appear.
Gray: No clear trend. The market is likely choppy or consolidating. No signals will appear; it is best to stay out.
Trading Strategy Example:
Wait for a colored background. A green or red background indicates the market is in a tradable trend.
Look for a signal. For a green background, wait for a lime Buy triangle (▲) to appear.
Confirm the trade. Before entering, confirm the signal aligns with your own analysis (e.g., support/resistance levels, chart patterns).
Manage the trade. Set a stop-loss according to your risk management rules. An exit can be considered on a fixed target, a trailing stop, or when an opposing signal appears.
4. Settings and Customization
This script is open-source, and its settings are transparent. You are encouraged to understand them.
Synaptic Engine Group:
Volatility Period: The master control for the adaptive engine. Higher values are slower and more stable.
Optimization Lookback: How many bars to use for the correlation check.
Switch Sensitivity: A buffer to prevent frantic switching between modes.
Advanced Configuration & Filters Group:
Price Source: The data source for momentum calculation (default close).
Trend Filter MA Type & Length: Define your long-term trend.
Filter by MA Slope: A key feature. If ON, allows for "buy the dip" entries below a rising MA. If OFF, it's stricter, requiring price to be above the MA.
ADX Length & Threshold: Filters out non-trending, choppy markets. Signals will not fire if the ADX is below this threshold.
5. Important Disclaimer
This indicator is a decision-support tool for discretionary traders, not an automated trading system or financial advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results. All trading involves substantial risk. You should always use proper risk management, including setting stop-losses, and never risk more than you are prepared to lose. The signals generated by this script should be used as one component of a broader trading plan.

EMA Pullback Indicator [ATR-based]🟦 EMA Pullback Indicator
This indicator identifies pullbacks in trending markets using the crossover of two EMAs (Fast and Slow). When a pullback occurs during a valid trend, an entry is triggered after price resumes in the trend direction. ATR is used to dynamically calculate stop-loss and take-profit levels.
🔍 Strategy Logic:
Trend Detection: EMA(8) vs EMA(21)
Pullback Zones:
In a bullish trend, a pullback is when price dips below the Fast EMA
In a bearish trend, a pullback is when price rises above the Fast EMA
Entry Trigger: Re-entry into trend direction after pullback
Stop Loss / Take Profit:
Based on ATR × SL/TP multipliers
Exit Options:
TP/SL Hit
Exit on new pullback (optional toggle)
Multiple Entry Toggle: Choose whether to allow multiple pullback entries or not

ATR Trailing Stop with ATR Targets [v6]What the Indicator Does
This custom TradingView indicator is designed for active traders who want to automate and visualize their trailing stop management and target setting, using true market volatility. It combines the Average True Range (ATR) with dynamic market structure logic to:
Trail a stop-loss behind major swings in real time, using 2×ATR (adjustable) from the highest high in uptrends or the lowest low in downtrends.
Flip trading bias between bullish and bearish when the stop is breached.
Identify and plot three profit targets (at 1, 2, and 3 ATR from the breakout/flip point) after every stop-flip, helping traders scale out or set take-profits objectively.
Maintain a visible presence on your chart every bar to avoid indicator errors, with color and labeling for clear distinction between long/short phases.
How the Indicator Works
1. ATR Calculation
ATR Period and Multiplier: You select your preferred ATR length (default is 14 bars) and a multiplier (default is 2.0).
Volatility Adjustment: ATR measures the average "true" bar range, so the trailing stop and targets adapt to current volatility.
2. Trailing Stop Logic
Uptrend (bullish bias): The indicator tracks the highest high made since the last bearish-to-bullish flip and sets the stop at - .
The stop only raises (never lowers) during an uptrend, protecting gains in strong moves.
Downtrend (bearish bias): Tracks the lowest low made since the last bullish-to-bearish flip, with stop at + .
The stop only lowers (never raises) in a downtrend.
Flip Point: If price closes through the trailing stop, the current bias “flips,” and the logic reverses (bullish to bearish or vice versa). At the new close, flip price and bar index are stored for target calculation.
3. ATR Targets after Flip
After each stop flip:
Three targets—based on the new close price—are calculated and plotted:
Long flip (new bull bias): Target1 = close + 1×ATR, Target2 = close + 2×ATR, Target3 = close + 3×ATR.
Short flip (new bear bias): Target1 = close - 1×ATR, Target2 = close - 2×ATR, Target3 = close - 3×ATR.
These targets help with scaling out, partial profit-taking, or setting automated orders.
4. Visual Feedback
Trailing stop line: Green for long bias, red for short bias.
Targets: Distinct color-coded circles at 1, 2, 3 ATR levels from the most recent flip.
Flip Labels: Mark the bar and price where bias flipped (“Long Flip” or “Short Flip”) for quick pattern recognition.
Subtle background shading: Ensures TradingView's requirement for “indicator output every bar.”
How to Use This Indicator
Parameter Setup
ATR Period and Multiplier: Adjust to match the timeframe and volatility of your instrument.
Lower periods/multipliers for short-term/volatile trading.
Higher values for smoother signals or higher timeframes.
Starting Trend: Set to match the expected initial bias if the instrument has strong trend characteristics.
Trading Application
1. Daily Bias Approach
Establish your bias in line with your trading plan (e.g., only trade long if price is above the previous day's high, short below the previous day's low).
Only look for trades in the indicator's current bias direction, as expressed by the stop and background color.
2. Entry
Use the indicator as a real-time confirmation or trailing stop for your entries.
Breakout: Enter when price establishes the current bias, using the trailing stop as your risk level.
Reversal: Wait for a bias flip after an extended move; enter in the direction of the new bias.
VWAP Rebound: Combine with a VWAP bounce—enter only if the indicator bias supports your direction.
3. Exits/Targets
Trailing stop management: Move your stop according to the plotted line; exit if your stop is hit.
Profit-taking: Scale out or take profits as price approaches each ATR-based target.
Use the dynamic labeling to identify reversal flips and reset your plan if stopped or the bias changes.
4. Market Context
Filter and frame setups by watching correlated indicators (DXY, VIX, AUDJPY, put/call ratio) and upcoming news; trade only in the daily bias direction for best consistency.
5. Practical Tips
Combine this indicator with your custom watchlist and alert settings to get notified on flips or targets.
Review the last label ("Long Flip"/"Short Flip") and targets to plan partial exits.
Remember: ATR adapts to volatility, so the stop and targets stay proportionate even when price action shifts.

Risk Distribution HistogramStatistical risk visualization and analysis tool for any ticker 📊
The Risk Distribution Histogram visualizes the statistical distribution of different risk metrics for any financial instrument. It converts risk data into histograms with quartile-based color coding, so that traders can understand their risk, tail-risks, exposure patterns and make data-driven decisions based on empirical evidence rather than assumptions.
The indicator supports multiple risk calculation methods, each designed for different aspects of market analysis, from general volatility assessment to tail risk analysis.
Risk Measurement Methods
Standard Deviation
Captures raw daily price volatility by measuring the dispersion of price movements. Ideal for understanding overall market conditions and timing volatility-based strategies.
Use case: Options trading and volatility analysis.
Average True Range (ATR)
Measures true range as a percentage of price, accounting for gaps and limit moves. Valuable for position sizing across different price levels.
Use case: Position sizing and stop-loss placement.
The chart above illustrates how ATR statistical distribution can be used by looking at the ATR % of price distribution. For example, 90% of the movements are below 5%.
Downside Deviation
Only considers negative price movements, making it ideal for checking downside risk and capital protection rather than capturing upside volatility.
Use case: Downside protection strategies and stop losses.
Drawdown Analysis
Tracks peak-to-trough declines, providing insight into maximum loss potential during different market conditions.
Use case: Risk management and capital preservation.
The chart above illustrates tale risk for the asset (TQQQ), showing that it is possible to have drawdowns higher than 20%.
Entropy-Based Risk (EVaR)
Uses information theory to quantify market uncertainty. Higher entropy values indicate more unpredictable price action, valuable for detecting regime changes.
Use case: Advanced risk modeling and tail-risk.
VIX Histogram
Incorporates the market's fear index directly into analysis, showing how current volatility expectations compare to historical patterns. The CAPITALCOM:VIX histogram is independent from the ticker on the chart.
Use case: Volatility trading and market timing.
Visual Features
The histogram uses quartile-based color coding that immediately shows where current risk levels stand relative to historical patterns:
Green (Q1): Low Risk (0-25th percentile)
Yellow (Q2): Medium-Low Risk (25-50th percentile)
Orange (Q3): Medium-High Risk (50-75th percentile)
Red (Q4): High Risk (75-100th percentile)
The data table provides detailed statistics, including:
Count Distribution: Historical observations in each bin
PMF: Percentage probability for each risk level
CDF: Cumulative probability up to each level
Current Risk Marker: Shows your current position in the distribution
Trading Applications
When current risk falls into upper quartiles (Q3 or Q4), it signals conditions are riskier than 50-75% of historical observations. This guides position sizing and portfolio adjustments.
Key applications:
Position sizing based on empirical risk distributions
Monitoring risk regime changes over time
Comparing risk patterns across timeframes
Risk distribution analysis improves trade timing by identifying when market conditions favor specific strategies.
Enter positions during low-risk periods (Q1)
Reduce exposure in high-risk periods (Q4)
Use percentile rankings for dynamic stop-loss placement
Time volatility strategies using distribution patterns
Detect regime shifts through distribution changes
Compare current conditions to historical benchmarks
Identify outlier events in tail regions
Validate quantitative models with empirical data
Configuration Options
Data Collection
Lookback Period: Control amount of historical data analyzed
Date Range Filtering: Focus on specific market periods
Sample Size Validation: Automatic reliability warnings
Histogram Customization
Bin Count: 10-50 bins for different detail levels
Auto/Manual Bin Width: Optimize for your data range
Visual Preferences: Custom colors and font sizes
Implementation Guide
Start with Standard Deviation on daily charts for the most intuitive introduction to distribution-based risk analysis.
Method Selection: Begin with Standard Deviation
Setup: Use daily charts with 20-30 bins
Interpretation: Focus on quartile transitions as signals
Monitoring: Track distribution changes for regime detection
The tool provides comprehensive statistics including mean, standard deviation, quartiles, and current position metrics like Z-score and percentile ranking.

Random Coin Toss Strategy📌 Overview
This strategy is a probability-based trading simulation that randomly decides trade direction using a coin-toss mechanism and executes trades with a customizable risk-reward ratio. It's designed primarily for testing entry frequency and risk dynamics, not predictive accuracy.
🎯 Core Concept
Every N bars (configurable), the strategy performs a pseudo-random coin toss.
Based on the result:
If heads → Buy
If tails → Sell
Once a position is opened, it sets a Stop-Loss (SL) and Take-Profit (TP) based on a multiple of the current ATR (Average True Range) value.
⚙️ Configurable Inputs
ATR Length Period for ATR calculation, determines volatility basis.
SL Multiplier SL distance = ATR × multiplier (e.g., 1.0 means 1x ATR) .
TP Multiplier TP distance = ATR × multiplier (e.g., 2.0 = 2x ATR) .
Entry Frequency Bars to wait between each new coin toss decision.
Show TP/SL Zones Toggle on/off for drawing visual TP and SL zones.
Box Size Number of bars used to define the width of the TP/SL boxes.
🔁 Entry & Exit Logic
Entry:
Happens only when no current position exists and it's the correct bar interval.
Entry direction is randomly decided.
Exit:
Positions exit at either:
Take-Profit (TP) level
Stop-Loss (SL) level
Both are calculated using the configured ATR-based distances.
🖼️ Visual Features
TP and SL zones:
Rendered as shaded rectangles (boxes) only once per trade.
Green box for TP zone, red box for SL zone.
Automatically deleted and redrawn for each new trade to avoid chart clutter.
ATR Display Table:
A minimal info table at the top-right shows the current ATR value.
Updates every few bars for performance.
🧪 Use Cases
Ideal for risk-reward modeling, strategy prototyping, and understanding how volatility-based SL/TP behavior affects results.
Great for backtesting frequency, RR tweaks (e.g., 2:5 or 3:1), and execution structure in random conditions.
⚠️ Disclaimer
Since the trade direction is random, this script is not meant for predictive trading but serves as a powerful experiment framework for studying how SL, TP, and volatility interact with random chance in a controlled, repeatable system.
ATR Stop-Loss with Fibonacci Take-Profit [jpkxyz]ATR Stop-Loss with Fibonacci Take-Profit Indicator
This comprehensive indicator combines Average True Range (ATR) volatility analysis with Fibonacci extensions to create dynamic stop-loss and take-profit levels. It's designed to help traders set precise risk management levels and profit targets based on market volatility and mathematical ratios.
Two Operating Modes
Default Mode (Rolling Levels)
In default mode, the indicator continuously plots evolving stop-loss and take-profit levels based on real-time price action. These levels update dynamically as new bars form, creating rolling horizontal lines across the chart. I use this mode primarily to plot the rolling ATR-Level which I use to trail my Stop-Loss into profit.
Characteristics:
Levels recalculate with each new bar
All selected Fibonacci levels display simultaneously
Uses plot() functions with trackprice=true for price tracking
Custom Anchor Mode (Fixed Levels)
This is the primary mode for precision trading. You select a specific timestamp (typically your entry bar), and the indicator locks all calculations to that exact moment, creating fixed horizontal lines that represent your actual trade levels.
Characteristics:
Entry line (blue) marks your anchor point
Stop-loss calculated using ATR from the anchor bar
Fibonacci levels projected from entry-to-stop distance
Lines terminate when price breaks through them
Includes comprehensive alert system
Core Calculation Logic
ATR Stop-Loss Calculation:
Stop Loss = Entry Price ± (ATR × Multiplier)
Long positions: SL = Entry - (ATR × Multiplier)
Short positions: SL = Entry + (ATR × Multiplier)
ATR uses your chosen smoothing method (RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA)
Default multiplier is 1.5, adjustable to your risk tolerance
Fibonacci Take-Profit Projection:
The distance from entry to stop-loss becomes the base unit (1.0) for Fibonacci extensions:
TP Level = Entry + (Entry-to-SL Distance × Fibonacci Ratio)
Available Fibonacci Levels:
Conservative: 0.618, 1.0, 1.618
Extended: 2.618, 3.618, 4.618
Complete range: 0.0 to 4.764 (23 levels total)
Multi-Timeframe Functionality
One of the indicator's most powerful features is timeframe flexibility. You can analyze on one timeframe while using stop-loss and take-profit calculations from another.
Best Practices:
Identify your entry point on execution timeframe
Enable "Custom Anchor" mode
Set anchor timestamp to your entry bar
Select appropriate analysis timeframe
Choose relevant Fibonacci levels
Enable alerts for automated notifications
Example Scenario:
Analyse trend on 4-hour chart
Execute entry on 5-minute chart for precision
Set custom anchor to your 5-minute entry bar
Configure timeframe setting to "4h" for swing-level targets
Select appropriate Fibonacci Extension levels
Result: Precise entry with larger timeframe risk management
Visual Intelligence System
Line Behaviour in Custom Anchor Mode:
Active levels: Lines extend to the right edge
Hit levels: Lines terminate at the breaking bar
Entry line: Always visible in blue
Stop-loss: Red line, terminates when hit
Take-profits: Green lines (1.618 level in gold for emphasis)
Customisation Options:
Line width (1-4 pixels)
Show/hide individual Fibonacci levels
ATR length and smoothing method
ATR multiplier for stop-loss distance
ATR Buy, Target, Stop + OverlayATR Buy, Target, Stop + Overlay
This tool is to assist traders with precise trade planning using the Average True Range (ATR) as a volatility-based reference.
This script plots buy, target, and stop-loss levels on the chart based on a user-defined buy price and ATR-based multipliers, allowing for objective and adaptive trade management.
*NOTE* In order for the indicator to initiate plotted lines and table values a non-zero number must be entered into the settings.
What It Does:
Buy Price Input: Users enter a manual buy price (e.g., an executed or planned trade entry).
ATR-Based Target and Stop: The script calculates:
Target Price = Buy + (ATR × Target Multiplier)
Stop Price = Buy − (ATR × Stop Multiplier)
Customizable Timeframe: Optionally override the ATR timeframe (e.g., use daily ATR on a 1-hour chart).
Visual Overlay: Lines are drawn directly on the price chart for the Buy, Target, and Stop levels.
Interactive Table: A table is displayed with relevant levels and ATR info.
Customization Options:
Line Settings:
Adjust color, style (solid/dashed/dotted), and width for Buy, Target, and Stop lines.
Choose whether to extend lines rightward only or in both directions.
Table Settings:
Choose position (top/bottom, left/right).
Toggle individual rows for Buy, Target, Stop, ATR Timeframe, and ATR Value.
Customize text color and background transparency.
How to Use It for Trading:
Plan Your Trade: Enter your intended buy price when planning a trade.
Assess Risk/Reward: The script immediately visualizes the potential stop-loss and target level, helping assess R:R ratios.
Adapt to Volatility: Use ATR-based levels to scale stop and target dynamically depending on current market volatility.
Higher Timeframe ATR: Select a different timeframe for the ATR calculation to smooth noise on lower timeframe charts.
On-the-Chart Reference: Visually track trade zones directly on the price chart—ideal for live trading or strategy backtesting.
Ideal For:
Swing traders and intraday traders
Risk management and trade planning
Traders using ATR-based exits or scaling
Visualizing asymmetric risk/reward setups
How I Use This:
After entering a trade, adding an entry price will plot desired ATR target and stop level for visualization.
Adjusting ATR multiplier values assists in evaluating and planning trades.
Visualization assists in comparing ATR multiples to recent support and resistance levels.
Normalized Volume & True RangeThis indicator solves a fundamental challenge that traders face when trying to analyze volume and volatility together on their charts. Traditionally, volume and price volatility exist on completely different scales, making direct comparison nearly impossible. Volume might range from thousands to millions of shares, while volatility percentages typically stay within single digits. This indicator brings both measurements onto a unified scale from 0 to 100 percent, allowing you to see their relationship clearly for the first time.
The core innovation lies in the normalization process, which automatically calculates appropriate scaling factors for both volume and volatility based on their historical statistical properties. Rather than using arbitrary fixed scales that might work for one stock but fail for another, this system adapts to each instrument's unique characteristics. The indicator establishes baseline averages for both measurements and then uses statistical analysis to determine reasonable maximum values, ensuring that extreme outliers don't distort the overall picture.
You can choose from three different volatility calculation methods depending on your analytical preferences. The "Body" option measures the distance between opening and closing prices, focusing on the actual trading range that matters most for price action. The "High/Low" method captures the full daily range including wicks and shadows, giving you a complete picture of intraday volatility. The "Close/Close" approach compares consecutive closing prices, which can be particularly useful for identifying gaps and overnight price movements.
The indicator displays volume as colored columns that match your candlestick colors, making it intuitive to see whether high volume occurred during up moves or down moves. Volatility appears as a gray histogram, providing a clean background reference that doesn't interfere with volume interpretation. Both measurements are clipped at 100 percent, which represents their calculated maximum normal values, so any readings near this level indicate unusually high activity in either volume or volatility.
The baseline reference line shows you what "normal" volume looks like for the current instrument, helping you quickly identify when trading activity is above or below average. Optional moving averages for both volume and volatility are available if you prefer smoothed trend analysis over raw daily values. The entire system updates in real-time as new data arrives, continuously refining its statistical calculations to maintain accuracy as market conditions evolve.
This two-in-one indicator provides a straightforward way to examine how price movements relate to trading volume by presenting both measurements on the same normalized scale, making it easier to spot patterns and relationships that might otherwise remain hidden when analyzing these metrics separately.
ATR RopeATR Rope is inspired by DonovanWall's "Range Filter". It implements a similar concept of filtering out smaller market movements and adjusting only for larger moves. In addition, this indicator goes one step deeper by producing actionable zones to determine market state. (Trend vs. Consolidation)
> Background
When reading up on the Range Filter indicator, it reminded me exactly of a Rope stabilization drawing tool in a program I use frequently. Rope stabilization essentially attaches a fixed length "rope" to your cursor and an anchor point (Brush). As you move your cursor, you are pulling the brush behind it. The cursor (of course) will not pull the brush until the rope is fully extended, this behavior filters out jittery movements and is used to produce smoother drawing curves.
If compared visually side-by-side, you will notice that this indicator bears striking resemblance to its inspiration.
> Goal
Other than simply distinguishing price movements between meaningful and noise, this indicator strives to create a rigid structure to frame market movements and lack-there-of, such as when to anticipate trend, and when to suspect consolidation.
Since the indicator works based on an ATR range, the resulting ATR Channel does well to get reactions from price at its extremes. Naturally, when consolidating, price will remain within the channel, neither pushing the channel significantly up or down. Likewise, when trending, price will continue to push the channel in a single direction.
With the goal of keeping it quick and simple, this indicator does not do any smoothing of data feeds, and is simply based on the deviation of price from the central rope. Adjusting the rope when price extends past the threshold created by +/- ATR from the rope.
> Features & Behaviors
- ATR Rope
ATR Rope is displayed as a 3 color single line.
This can be considered the center line, or the directional line, whichever you'd prefer.
The main point of the Rope display is to indicate direction, however it also is factually the center of the current working range.
- ATR Rope Color
When the rope's value moves up, it changes to green (uptrend), when down, red (downtrend).
When the source crosses the rope, it turns blue (flat).
With these simple rules, we've formed a structure to view market movements.
- Consolidation Zones
Consolidation Zones generate from "Flat" areas, and extend into subsequent trend areas. Consolidation is simply areas where price has crossed the Rope and remains inside the range. Over these periods, the upper and lower values are accumulated and averaged together to form the "Consolidation Zone" values. These zones are draw live, so values are averaged as the flat areas progress and don't repaint, so all values seen historically are as they would appear live.
- ATR Channel
ATR Channel displays the upper and lower bounds of the working range.
When the source moves beyond this range, the rope is adjusted based on the distance from the source to the channel. This range can be extremely useful to view, but by default it is hidden.
> Application
This indicator is not created to provide signals, or serve as a "complete" system.
(People who didn't read this far will still comment for signals. :) )
This is created to be used alongside manual interpretation and intuition. This indicator is not meant to constrain any users into a box, and I would actually encourage an open mind and idea generation, as the application of this indicator can take various forms.
> Examples
As you would probably already know, price movement can be fast impulses, and movement can be slow bleeds. In the screenshot below, we are using movements from and to consolidation zones to classify weak trend and strong trend. As you can see, there are also areas of consolidation which get broken out of and confirmed for the larger moves.
Author's Note: In each of these examples, I have outlined the start and end of each session. These examples come from 1 Min Future charts, and have specifically been framed with day trading in mind.
"Breakout Retest" or "Support/Resistance Flips" or "Structure Retests" are all generally the same thing, with different traders referring to them by different names, all of which can be seen throughout these examples.
In the next example, we have a day which started with an early reversal leading into long, slow, trend. Notice how each area throughout the trend essentially moves slightly higher, then consolidates while holding support of the previous zone. This day had a few sharp movements, however there was a large amount of neutrality throughout this day with continuous higher lows.
In contrast to the previous example, next up, we have a very choppy day. Throughout which we see a significant amount of retests before fast directional movements. We also see a few examples of places where previous zones remained relevant into the future. While the zones only display into the resulting trend area, they do not become immediately meaningless once they stop drawing.
> Abstract
In the screenshot below, I have stacked 2 of these indicators, using the high as the source for one and the low as the source for the other. I've hidden lines of the high and low channels to create a 4 lined channel based on the wicks of price.
This is not necessary to use the indicator, but should help provide an idea of creative ways the simple indicator could be used to produce more complicated analysis.
If you've made it this far, I would hope it's clear to you how this indicator could provide value to your trading.
Thank you to DonovonWall for the inspiration.
Enjoy!
BK AK-Scope🔭 Introducing BK AK-Scope — Target Locked. Signal Acquired. 🔭
After building five precision weapons for traders, I’m proud to unveil the sixth.
BK AK-Scope — the eye of the arsenal.
This is not just an indicator. It’s an intelligence system for volatility, signal clarity, and rate-of-change dynamics — forged for elite vision in any market terrain.
🧠 Why “Scope”? And Why “AK”?
Every shooter knows: you can’t hit what you can’t see.
The Scope brings range, clarity, and target distinction. It filters motion from noise. Purpose from panic.
“AK” continues to honor the man who trained my sight — my mentor, A.K.
His discipline taught me to wait for alignment. To move with reason, not emotion.
His vision lives in every code line here.
🔬 What Is BK AK-Scope?
A Triple-Tier TSI Correlation Engine, fused with adaptive opacity logic, a volatility scoring system, and real-time signal clarity. It’s momentum dissected — by speed, depth, and rate of change.
Built to serve traders who:
Need visual hierarchy between fast, mid, and slow TSI responses.
Want adaptive fills that pulse with volatility — not static zones.
Require a volatility scoring overlay that reads the battlefield in real time.
⚙️ Core Systems: How BK AK-Scope Works
✅ Fast/Mid/Slow TSI →
Three layers of correlation: like scopes with zoom levels.
You track micro moves, mid swings, and macro flow simultaneously.
✅ Rate-of-Change Adaptive Opacity →
Momentum fills fade or flash based on speed — giving you movement density at a glance.
Bull vs. Bear zones adapt to strength. You feel the market’s pulse.
✅ Volatility Score Intelligence →
Custom algorithm measuring:
Range expansion
Rate-of-change differentials
ATR dynamics
Standard deviation pressure
All combined into a score from 0–100 with live icons:
🔥 = Extreme Heat (70+)
🧊 = Cold Zone (<30)
⚠️ = ROC Warning
• = Neutral drift
✅ Auto-Detect Volatility Modes →
Scalp = <15min
Swing = intraday/hourly
Macro = daily/weekly
Or override manually with total control.
🎯 How To Use BK AK-Scope
🔹 Trend Continuation → When all three TSI layers align in direction + volatility score climbs, ride with the trend.
🔹 Early Reversals → Opposing TSI + rapid opacity change + volatility shift = sniper reversal zone.
🔹 Consolidation Filter → Neutral fills + score < 30 = stay out, wait for signal surge.
🔹 Signal Confluence → Pair with:
• Gann fans or angles

Not-So-Average True Range (nsATR)Not-So-Average True Range (nsATR)
*By Sherlock_MacGyver*
---
Long Story Short
The nsATR is a complete overhaul of traditional ATR analysis. It was designed to solve the fundamental issues with standard ATR, such as lag, lack of contextual awareness, and equal treatment of all volatility events.
Key innovations include:
* A smarter ATR that reacts dynamically when price movement exceeds normal expectations.
* Envelope zones that distinguish between moderate and extreme volatility conditions.
* A long-term ATR baseline that adds historical context to current readings.
* A compression detection system that flags when the market is coiled and ready to break out.
This indicator is designed for traders who want to see volatility the way it actually behaves — contextually, asymmetrically, and with predictive power.
---
What Is This Thing?
Standard ATR (Average True Range) has limitations:
* It smooths too slowly (using Wilder's RMA), which delays detection of meaningful moves.
* It lacks context — no way to know if current volatility is high or low relative to history.
* It treats all volatility equally, regardless of scale or significance.
nsATR** was built from scratch to overcome these weaknesses by applying:
* Amplification of large True Range spikes.
* Visual envelope zones for detecting volatility regimes.
* A long-term context line to anchor current readings.
* Multi-factor compression analysis to anticipate breakouts.
---
Core Features
1. Breach Detection with Amplification
When True Range exceeds a user-defined threshold (e.g., ATR × 1.2), it is amplified using a power function to reflect nonlinear volatility. This amplified value is then smoothed and cascades into future ATR values, affecting the indicator beyond a single bar.
2. Direction Tagging
Volatility spikes are tagged as upward or downward based on basic price momentum (close vs previous close). This provides visual context for how volatility is behaving in real-time.
3. Envelope Zones
Two adaptive envelopes highlight the current volatility regime:
* Stage 1: Moderate volatility (default: ATR × 1.5)
* Stage 2: Extreme volatility (default: ATR × 2.0)
Breaching these zones signals meaningful expansion in volatility.
4. Long-Term Context Baseline
A 200-period simple moving average of the classic ATR establishes whether current readings are above or below long-term volatility expectations.
5. Multi-Signal Compression Detection
Flags potential breakout conditions when:
* ATR is below its long-term baseline
* Price Bollinger Bands are compressed
* RSI Bollinger Bands are also compressed
All three signals must align to plot a "Volatility Confluence Dot" — an early warning of potential expansion.
---
Chart Outputs
In the Indicator Pane:
* Breach Amplified ATR (Orange line)
* Classic ATR baseline (White line)
* Long-Term context baseline (Cyan line)
* Stage 1 and Stage 2 Envelopes (Purple and Yellow lines)
On the Price Chart:
* Triangles for breach direction (green/red)
* Diamonds for compression zones
* Optional background coloring for visual clarity
---
Alerts
Built-in alert conditions:
1. ATR breach detected
2. Stage 1 envelope breached
3. Stage 2 envelope breached
4. Compression zone detected
---
Customization
All components are modular. Traders can adjust:
* Display toggles for each visual layer
* Colors and line widths
* Breach threshold and amplification power
* Envelope sensitivity
* Compression sensitivity and lookback windows
Some options are disabled by default to reduce clutter but can be turned on for more aggressive signal detection.
---
Real-Time Behavior (Non-Repainting Clarification)
The indicator updates in real time on the current bar as new data comes in. This is expected behavior for live trading tools. Once a bar closes, values do not change. In other words, the indicator *does not repaint history* — but the current bar can update dynamically until it closes.
---
Use Cases
* Day traders: Use compression zones to anticipate volatility surges.
* Swing traders: Use envelope breaches for regime awareness.
* System developers: Replace standard ATR in your logic for better responsiveness.
* Risk managers: Use directional volatility signals to better model exposure.

MACD + RSI + EMA + BB + ATR Day Trading StrategyEntry Conditions and Signals
The strategy implements a multi-layered filtering approach to entry conditions, requiring alignment across technical indicators, timeframes, and market conditions .
Long Entry Requirements
Trend Filter: Fast EMA (9) must be above Slow EMA (21), price must be above Fast EMA, and higher timeframe must confirm uptrend
MACD Signal: MACD line crosses above signal line, indicating increasing bullish momentum
RSI Condition: RSI below 70 (not overbought) but above 40 (showing momentum)
Volume & Volatility: Current volume exceeds 1.2x 20-period average and ATR shows sufficient market movement
Time Filter: Trading occurs during optimal hours (9:30-11:30 AM ET) when market volatility is typically highest
Exit Strategies
The strategy employs multiple exit mechanisms to adapt to changing market conditions and protect profits :
Stop Loss Management
Initial Stop: Placed at 2.0x ATR from entry price, adapting to current market volatility
Trailing Stop: 1.5x ATR trailing stop that moves up (for longs) or down (for shorts) as price moves favorably
Time-Based Exits: All positions closed by end of trading day (4:00 PM ET) to avoid overnight risk
Best Practices for Implementation
Settings
Chart Setup: 5-minute timeframe for execution with 15-minute chart for trend confirmation
Session Times: Focus on 9:30-11:30 AM ET trading for highest volatility and opportunity
SOXL Trend Surge v3.0.2 – Profit-Only RunnerSOXL Trend Surge v3.0.2 – Profit-Only Runner
This is a trend-following strategy built for leveraged ETFs like SOXL, designed to ride high-momentum waves with minimal interference. Unlike most short-term scalping scripts, this model allows trades to develop over multiple days to even several months, capitalizing on the full power of extended directional moves — all without using a stop-loss.
🔍 How It Works
Entry Logic:
Price is above the 200 EMA (long-term trend confirmation)
Supertrend is bullish (momentum confirmation)
ATR is rising (volatility expansion)
Volume is above its 20-bar average (liquidity filter)
Price is outside a small buffer zone from the 200 EMA (to avoid whipsaws)
Trades are restricted to market hours only (9 AM to 2 PM EST)
Cooldown of 15 bars after each exit to prevent overtrading
Exit Strategy:
Takes partial profit at +2× ATR if held for at least 2 bars
Rides the remaining position with a trailing stop at 1.5× ATR
No hard stop-loss — giving space for volatile pullbacks
⚙️ Strategy Settings
Initial Capital: $500
Risk per Trade: 100% of equity (fully allocated per entry)
Commission: 0.1%
Slippage: 1 tick
Recalculate after order is filled
Fill orders on bar close
Timeframe Optimized For: 45-minute chart
These parameters simulate an aggressive, high-volatility trading model meant for forward-testing compounding potential under realistic trading costs.
✅ What Makes This Unique
No stop-loss = fewer premature exits
Partial profit-taking helps lock in early wins
Trailing logic gives room to ride large multi-week moves
Uses strict filters (volume, ATR, EMA bias) to enter only during high-probability windows
Ideal for leveraged ETF swing or position traders looking to hold longer than the typical intraday or 2–3 day strategies
⚠️ Important Note
This is a high-risk, high-reward strategy meant for educational and testing purposes. Without a stop-loss, trades can experience deep drawdowns that may take weeks or even months to recover. Always test thoroughly and adjust position sizing to suit your risk tolerance. Past results do not guarantee future returns. Backtest range: May 8, 2020 – May 23, 2025

What started as a candle-only visualizer evolved into a modular, user-controlled price engine.
From wickless candle clarity to dynamic volatility envelopes, TRX adapts to you.
There are plenty of band and channel indicators out there — Bollinger, Keltner, Donchian, Envelope, the whole crew.
But none of them are built on the true candle range, adaptive ATR shaping, and full user control like TRX.
This isn’t just another indicator — it’s a new framework.
Most bands and channels are based on close price and statistical deviation — useful, but limited.
TRX uses the full true range of each candle as its foundation, then applies customizable smoothing and directional ATR scaling to form a dynamic, volatility-reactive envelope.
The result? Bands that breathe with the market — not lag behind it.
----------------------------------------------------
🔧 Core Features:
🕯️ True Range Candles — Each candle is plotted from low to high, body-only, colored by open/close.
📈 Adjustable High/Low Moving Averages — Select your smoothing style: SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or HMA.
🌬️ ATR-Based Expansion — Bands dynamically breathe based on market volatility.
🔀 Per-Band Multipliers — Fine-tune expansion individually for the upper and lower bands.
⚖️ Basis Line — Optional centerline between bands for structure tracking and equilibrium zones.
🎛️ Full Visual Control — Width, transparency, color, on/off toggles for each element.
----------------------------------------------------
🧠 Default Use Case:
With the included default settings, TRX behaves like an evolved Bollinger Band system — based on True Range candle structure, not just close price and standard deviation.
----------------------------------------------------
🔄 How to Zero Out the Bands (for Minimalist Use):
Want just candles? A clean MA? Single band? You got it.
➤ Use TRX like a clean moving average:
• Set ATR Multiplier to 0
• Set both Band ATR Adjustments to 0
• Leave the Basis Line ON or OFF — your call
➤ Show only candles (no bands at all):
• Turn off "Show High/Low MAs"
• Turn off Basis Line
➤ Single-line ceiling or floor tracking:
• Set one band’s Transparency to 100
• Use the remaining band as a price envelope or support/resistance guide
----------------------------------------------------
🧬 Notes:
TRX can be made:
• Spiky or silky (via smoothing & ATR)
• Wide or tight (via multipliers)
• Subtle or aggressive (via color/transparency)
• Clean as a compass or dirty as a chaos meter
Built by accident. Tuned with intention.
Released to the world as one of the most adaptable and expressive visual overlays ever made.
