Visual ProwessVisual Prowess: Ultimate Visual of Price Action Indicator
Overview
Visual Prowess is a Pine Script indicator that integrates Trend, Momentum, Strength/Weakness, Money Flow, and Volatility into a single, intuitive interface. Scaled from 0 to 100, it provides traders with clear bullish (>50) and bearish (<50) zones. Visual Prowess is made up of several data components which will be explained below. All these components have custom thresholds that lead to Green Dot Buy Signals and Red Dot sell signals. Designed for multi-timeframe analysis, it helps traders anticipate market moves with precision seeing behind the scenes of price action.
The fundamental inputs of price action are made up of different variables -- the components of Trend Strength, Volatility, Momentum, Money Flow/Volume and Overbought/Oversold. These are very important inputs market makers use. From what I've learned in my trading journey (always still learning), this is the data I value most important. This is why I combined all these components into one indicator.....to be an ultimate visual—this extrapolation of different pieces of data is the Visual Prowess.
What It Does
Visual Prowess combines five key market factors into a unified score (0-100) to assess market conditions by examining the price action like an x-ray aka Visual Prowess:
• Trend Direction & Strength (Green and Red Wave) : Identifies bullish (green clouds) or bearish (red clouds) trend. This data is designed to illustrate the trend by the color, and its strength by the height (score).
How it is Calculated = Data is derived from price action-- comparing the current and previous price highs and lows to measure the strength of upward (+) or downward (-) price movements, smoothed over a period and expressed as a percentage of the price range.
• Momentum (Blue and White Wave): Tracks price acceleration via a custom momentum oscillator, displayed as blue (positive) or white (negative) waves.
How it is Calculated = Data is calculated by subtracting a longer-term exponential moving average from a shorter-term exponential moving average to measure momentum and trend direction. Momentum strength is measured by height on 0-100 score, and color dictates the trend-- Blue up, White down.
• Strength Index (Purple Line): Measures overbought/oversold conditions with a normalized index, derived from price deviation.
How it is Calculated = Strength Index is calculated by comparing the average of price gains to the average of price losses over a specified period, expressed as a value between 0 and 100 to measure momentum and identify overbought or oversold conditions.
• Money Flow: Monitors capital inflows and outflows using a modified Money Flow Index, shown as green (buying) or red (selling) circles.
How it is Calculated = The Money Flow is calculated by using price and volume data to measure buying and selling pressure, comparing positive and negative money flow over a specified period to produce a value between 0 and 100, indicating overbought or oversold conditions and more importantly where the money is moving, + or -.
• Volatility: Gauges market volatility, marked by colored crosses (blue for low, red for high). Blue illustrates low volatility which is key for big moves either + or -; red to illustrate when price action is extremely overheated either + or -.
How it is Calculated = The volatility is calculated by the creator of the BBWP The_Caretaker. This excellent work is calculated using the width of the iconic indicator the Bollinger Bands (the difference between the upper and lower bands divided by the middle band (the moving average), expressed as a percentage to show how volatile the price is relative to its recent average.
Originality
Unlike traditional multi-indicator dashboards, Visual Prowess uses a combination of specific open-source indicators which I believe to be the most important inputs in price action-- trend, momentum, strength, money flow, and volatility into an all-in-one visual ratioed on a 0-100 scale. This unique synthesis of data reduces noise, prioritizes signal alignment, and a look behind the scenes of price action to see deeper into the movement – This combination of indicators has custom thresholds, when these components in alignment with each other hit certain parameters; it leads to key custom price action signals -- Green Dot Buy and Red Dot Sell signals.
There is also a bonus indicator….. a Yellow Triangle. When you see this, it is rare and strong. It only prints when strength index reaches extreme lows at the same time volatility reaches extreme highs…. It then waits to print the yellow triangle upon a third condition= which is price action is back in bullish/positive zone. This Yellow triangle is meant to be strong reversals of Macro Trend lows.
How to Use the Visual Prowess Components:
• Add to Chart: Apply Visual Prowess to any timeframe (recommended: higher timeframes 12H, 1D, 2D, 3D for optimal signals).
• Interpret Zones: Values >50 indicate bullish conditions (green background); <50 signal bearish conditions (red background).
Wait for Green Dot Buy signal for buys and Red Dot Sell signals for sells. One can read each component individually to gauge the price action and predict before the buy signal prints; all of those components merged together is what leads to the buy and sell signals. The story of what’s to come can be seen at lower timeframes before the higher timeframes print, that is a key way to gauge projections of bull or bear prints to come.
HOW TO READ EACH DATA COMPONENT
TREND CLOUDS: Green/red clouds show trend direction; vivid colors tied to number/ score on the 0-100 scale indicate strength of the trend.
Bull Conditions
Green cloud illustrates the trend is bullish. The height is correlated to the trend’s strength—this height is also aligned with colors, more transparent green is weak, then it gets more opaque being medium strength, and the most vibrant is the strongest. How to ride the bull condition is by seeing this transformation of trend get from weak to strong, until it tops out and the wave points down losing strength which alludes to the bear condition.
Bear Conditions
Vice versa with the bear condition. Different shades of red tie into the strength of the bear trend. How to read when things are about to get bearish, is by seeing bull trend shift levels of strength (Example- medium to weak). This transition of bull strength getting weaker is the start, once it gets to weak bear it has commenced until bearish strength tops out before it begins to get weaker leading to the next bull phase.
MOMENTUM WAVES: Blue waves above 50 suggest bullish momentum; white waves below 50 warn of bearish shifts.
Bull Conditions
Good to look at flips of white wave to blue in bearish zones to see the tide turning= guaranteed bullish when safely gets above and holds above 50 zone.
Bear Conditions
Vice versa for Bearish side of this momentum wave being blue wave turning white in bullish zone aiming down to break below 50 zone to confirm bearish descent.
STRENGTH INDEX: Values >80 indicate overbought; <20 suggest oversold. Look for “Bull” or “Bear” labels for divergences.
Bull Conditions
Above 50 level is key, so seeing price action break from below 50 to above 50 is strong buy condition until it gets overbought.
Bear Conditions
Once conditions are too overbought and falling making lower lows (especially when price action is climbing or staying sideways) it is indicating strength is getting weaker. When this indicator fights 50 level and breaks down below 50 level bearish conditions are coming until it gets to an oversold level.
MONEYFLOW: Green circles signal buying pressure; red circles indicate selling.
Bull Conditions
Green circles show money flow is positive so that’s a good sign of upward price action to come, and again above 50 level is bullish conditions
Bear Conditions
Red circles show money flow is negative so that’s a bad sign of price action to come, pointing down and breaking below 50 level is no good. It can have corrections in bullish scenario keep in mind seeing red doesn’t mean trend is over z9could be in higher low scenario).
VOLATILITY: Blue crosses (<25% volatility) suggest breakout potential; red crosses (>75%) warn of overheated markets.
Bull Conditions
This is a very important indication. Big volatile moves can move either direction + or -. When all other components look positive/bullish and this is signalling blue crosses it means a big move is coming and will most likely be in the upward direction –If all other components align/lean bullish.
Another bullish scenario is when price action is down large and red crosses are forming. This indicates that the downward move is overheated (red x’s are rare). This extremely oversold condition can be great buying opportunities when volatility is hot printing red x’s.
Bear Conditions
When all other components look negative/bearish and this is signalling blue crosses it means a big move is coming and will most likely be in the downward direction –If all other components align/lean bearish.
Another bearish scenario is when price action is up large and red crosses are forming. This indicates that the upward move is overheated (red x’s are rare). This extremely overbought condition can be great selling opportunities when volatility is hot printing red x’s.
*****All these components in alignment of hitting each pertaining important threshold--is what prints the green dot and sell signals to trade by. It is not black and white; each component has a sweet spot fine tuned to be triggered through analysis of what is happening individually to each component and how it is reacting to the price action data.
EXAMPLE= Taking a look at the screenshot (Perfect Scenario)
Bullish Examination
- Taking a look at the 2-D timeframe on BTC
x>50
x= all components traveling to the bullish zone. Blue wave, Strength Index with bullish divergence accumulation, Money Flow Positive with Green Trend Wave starting, with teal low volatility cross→→→ leads to Green Dot Buy Signal print…. And the big rise speaks for itself with price action and the big mountain wave of the Green Trend Wave.
This rise leads to
↓↓↓↓
Bearish Examination
Strength Index gets really high at 80 scale, Red X’s showing extremely heated Volatility, Money Flow turning red and sloping down, Trend Wave peaking starting to roll over, Blue Momentum Wave transitioning to white, bearish divergence of price action related to Strength Index→→→ leads to Red Dot Sell Signal print… and the flush speaks for itself when all components fall below 50 level with Trend wave turning red
All this is forecasted in the data, showing weakness before weakness and showing strength before strength. It works because every single piece of important elements in data of price action is incorporated in this all-in-one indicator…. Which leads to the reasoning of me calling this indicator the Visual Prowess, for its unprecedent sharpness of visual observation.
****This is a passion script incorporating every piece of data I value important when reading a chart — to see current perspective of a chart and to help foresee future projection of direction Up or Down. Any community feedback is greatly appreciated. Ongoing work will be done on this script as new thoughts and fine tuning will continuously be done for infinity, as this is my personal go to model for data on the markets.
Directional
VolumeFlowOscillatorLibVolume Flow Oscillator Library
Overview
The Volume Flow Oscillator library provides a comprehensive framework for analyzing directional volume flow in financial markets. It creates a multi-band oscillator system that transforms price and volume data into a spectrum of sensitivity bands, revealing the underlying buying and selling pressure.
Technical Approach
The library combines price direction with trading volume to generate an oscillator that fluctuates around a zero line, with positive values indicating buying pressure and negative values showing selling pressure. Using sophisticated ALMA (Arnaud Legoux Moving Average) smoothing techniques with asymmetric sensitivity, the library creates seven distinct bands that help identify various intensity levels of volume flow.
Key Features
Multi-band oscillator system with seven sensitivity levels
Directional volume flow analysis combining price movement and volume
Zero-line oscillation showing the balance between buying and selling pressure
Asymmetric ALMA smoothing for different sensitivity on positive/negative bands
Customizable lookback periods and multipliers for fine-tuning
Color-coded visualization for intuitive chart reading
Applications
This library offers developers a versatile foundation for creating volume-based indicators that go beyond simple volume measurement to reveal the directional force behind market movements. Ideal for confirming price trends, detecting divergences, identifying volume climaxes, and assessing overall market strength.
Directional Deviation Index (DDI)Directional Deviation Index (DDI) is a streamlined, adaptive indicator for analyzing market cycles, detecting trend direction, and gauging momentum. By measuring how far price deviates from a smoothed average, the DDI adapts dynamically to both bullish and bearish conditions.
Key Features:
Unified Smoothing: Choose SMA or EMA for consistent, predictable signals.
Log Scale: Focus on percentage-based moves—ideal for volatile or higher-priced assets.
Adaptive Trend Levels: Auto-adjust uptrend/downtrend thresholds based on market volatility.
Momentum Visualization: Transparent color fills (green for uptrends, red for downtrends) that intensify with stronger deviations.
Customizable Sensitivity: Fine-tune uptrend and downtrend settings to suit any trading style.
Simple Alerts & Status Line: Get notified on key crossovers and track real-time price without chart clutter.
Comparison to Similar Indicators:
Bollinger Bands: Both use deviations from a moving average, but the DDI emphasizes directional momentum and adaptive threshold levels rather than fixed bands.
RSI/Stochastics: While these oscillators focus on overbought or oversold conditions, the DDI tracks how far price strays from its average, giving a clearer picture of trend strength.
MACD: MACD is built on EMA crossovers, whereas the DDI highlights deviations from a mean and adapts more directly to volatility changes.
Use the DDI to identify trend strength, spot potential reversals, and monitor evolving market conditions across stocks, crypto, forex, and beyond. It’s a versatile yet concise tool for traders seeking faster, more confident decisions.
Six PillarsGeneral Overview
The "Six Pillars" indicator is a comprehensive trading tool that combines six different technical analysis methods to provide a holistic view of market conditions.
These six pillars are:
Trend
Momentum
Directional Movement (DM)
Stochastic
Fractal
On-Balance Volume (OBV)
The indicator calculates the state of each pillar and presents them in an easy-to-read table format. It also compares the current timeframe with a user-defined comparison timeframe to offer a multi-timeframe analysis.
A key feature of this indicator is the Confluence Strength meter. This unique metric quantifies the overall agreement between the six pillars across both timeframes, providing a score out of 100. A higher score indicates stronger agreement among the pillars, suggesting a more reliable trading signal.
I also included a visual cue in the form of candle coloring. When all six pillars agree on a bullish or bearish direction, the candle is colored green or red, respectively. This feature allows traders to quickly identify potential high-probability trade setups.
The Six Pillars indicator is designed to work across multiple timeframes, offering a comparison between the current timeframe and a user-defined comparison timeframe. This multi-timeframe analysis provides traders with a more comprehensive understanding of market dynamics.
Origin and Inspiration
The Six Pillars indicator was inspired by the work of Dr. Barry Burns, author of "Trend Trading for Dummies" and his concept of "5 energies." (Trend, Momentum, Cycle, Support/Resistance, Scale) I was intrigued by Dr. Burns' approach to analyzing market dynamics and decided to put my own twist upon his ideas.
Comparing the Six Pillars to Dr. Burns' 5 energies, you'll notice I kept Trend and Momentum, but I swapped out Cycle, Support/Resistance, and Scale for Directional Movement, Stochastic, Fractal, and On-Balance Volume. These changes give you a more dynamic view of market strength, potential reversals, and volume confirmation all in one package.
What Makes This Indicator Unique
The standout feature of the Six Pillars indicator is its Confluence Strength meter. This feature calculates the overall agreement between the six pillars, providing traders with a clear, numerical representation of signal strength.
The strength is calculated by considering the state of each pillar in both the current and comparison timeframes, resulting in a score out of 100.
Here's how it calculates the strength:
It considers the state of each pillar in both the current timeframe and the comparison timeframe.
For each pillar, the absolute value of its state is taken. This means that both strongly bullish (2) and strongly bearish (-2) states contribute equally to the strength.
The absolute values for all six pillars are summed up for both timeframes, resulting in two sums: current_sum and alternate_sum.
These sums are then added together to get a total_sum.
The total_sum is divided by 24 (the maximum possible sum if all pillars were at their strongest states in both timeframes) and multiplied by 100 to get a percentage.
The result is rounded to the nearest integer and capped at a minimum of 1.
This calculation method ensures that the Confluence Strength meter takes into account not only the current timeframe but also the comparison timeframe, providing a more robust measure of overall market sentiment. The resulting score, ranging from 1 to 100, gives traders a clear and intuitive measure of how strongly the pillars agree, with higher scores indicating stronger potential signals.
This approach to measuring signal strength is unique in that it doesn't just rely on a single aspect of price action or volume. Instead, it takes into account multiple factors, providing a more robust and reliable indication of potential market moves. The higher the Confluence Strength score, the more confident traders can be in the signal.
The Confluence Strength meter helps traders in several ways:
It provides a quick and easy way to gauge the overall market sentiment.
It helps prioritize potential trades by identifying the strongest signals.
It can be used as a filter to avoid weaker setups and focus on high-probability trades.
It offers an additional layer of confirmation for other trading strategies or indicators.
By combining the Six Pillars analysis with the Confluence Strength meter, I've created a powerful tool that not only identifies potential trading opportunities but also quantifies their strength, giving traders a significant edge in their decision-making process.
How the Pillars Work (What Determines Bullish or Bearish)
While developing this indicator, I selected and configured six key components that work together to provide a comprehensive view of market conditions. Each pillar is set up to complement the others, creating a synergistic effect that offers traders a more nuanced understanding of price action and volume.
Trend Pillar: Based on two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) - a fast EMA (8 period) and a slow EMA (21 period). It determines the trend by comparing these EMAs, with stronger trends indicated when the fast EMA is significantly above or below the slow EMA.
Directional Movement (DM) Pillar: Utilizes the Average Directional Index (ADX) with a default period of 14. It measures trend strength, with values above 25 indicating a strong trend. It also considers the Positive and Negative Directional Indicators (DI+ and DI-) to determine trend direction.
Momentum Pillar: Uses the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) with customizable fast (12), slow (26), and signal (9) lengths. It compares the MACD line to the signal line to determine momentum strength and direction.
Stochastic Pillar: Employs the Stochastic oscillator with a default period of 13. It identifies overbought conditions (above 80) and oversold conditions (below 20), with intermediate zones between 60-80 and 20-40.
Fractal Pillar: Uses Williams' Fractal indicator with a default period of 3. It identifies potential reversal points by looking for specific high and low patterns over the given period.
On-Balance Volume (OBV) Pillar: Incorporates On-Balance Volume with three EMAs - short (3), medium (13), and long (21) periods. It assesses volume trends by comparing these EMAs.
Each pillar outputs a state ranging from -2 (strongly bearish) to 2 (strongly bullish), with 0 indicating a neutral state. This standardized output allows for easy comparison and aggregation of signals across all pillars.
Users can customize various parameters for each pillar, allowing them to fine-tune the indicator to their specific trading style and market conditions. The multi-timeframe comparison feature also allows users to compare pillar states between the current timeframe and a user-defined comparison timeframe, providing additional context for decision-making.
Design
From a design standpoint, I've put considerable effort into making the Six Pillars indicator visually appealing and user-friendly. The clean and minimalistic design is a key feature that sets this indicator apart.
I've implemented a sleek table layout that displays all the essential information in a compact and organized manner. The use of a dark background (#030712) for the table creates a sleek look that's easy on the eyes, especially during extended trading sessions.
The overall design philosophy focuses on presenting complex information in a simple, intuitive format, allowing traders to make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.
The color scheme is carefully chosen to provide clear visual cues:
White text for headers ensures readability
Green (#22C55E) for bullish signals
Blue (#3B82F6) for neutral states
Red (#EF4444) for bearish signals
This color coding extends to the candle coloring, making it easy to spot when all pillars agree on a bullish or bearish outlook.
I've also incorporated intuitive symbols (↑↑, ↑, →, ↓, ↓↓) to represent the different states of each pillar, allowing for quick interpretation at a glance.
The table layout is thoughtfully organized, with clear sections for the current and comparison timeframes. The Confluence Strength meter is prominently displayed, providing traders with an immediate sense of signal strength.
To enhance usability, I've added tooltips to various elements, offering additional information and explanations when users hover over different parts of the indicator.
How to Use This Indicator
The Six Pillars indicator is a versatile tool that can be used for various trading strategies. Here are some general usage guidelines and specific scenarios:
General Usage Guidelines:
Pay attention to the Confluence Strength meter. Higher values indicate stronger agreement among the pillars and potentially more reliable signals.
Use the multi-timeframe comparison to confirm signals across different time horizons.
Look for alignment between the current timeframe and comparison timeframe pillars for stronger signals.
One of the strengths of this indicator is it can let you know when markets are sideways – so in general you can know to avoid entering when the Confluence Strength is low, indicating disagreement among the pillars.

Returns Since PivotReturns Since Pivot (RSP) helps to analyze the trend and seasonality.
This indicator draws 2 separate lines
green - upward movement
red - downward movement
Unlike other trend indicators, it's important that even while uptrend you can still see the power of downward moves that occurred during move up.
Hints and setups:
1) Helps to identify clear up trend from the noisy/mixed one: clearly growing non-interrupted green line, without significant negative red lines.
2) Helps to see potential trend reversal: for example, clear strong green line was interrupted for a brief price drop. Then the uptrend continues, you see clear green line again. But -- it's visible that new green line is way less strong, so the price might have exhausted.
3) While trading on 5 min chart, you can set RSP to 1 hour, or 4 hours to get a clear picture of price action on macro timeframe.
4) Indicator is normalized, so you can compare different coins. For example, after the big drop and rebound, you can use RSP to understand which coin had more powerful rebound, thus potentially will be a best gainer in case if the market continues go up.
Directional Slope Strength IndexThe most basic of trend indicators is the price change over some period of time. Rate of change is the most common indicator to use which calculates the current price minus the price n bars back. I've written this indicator to solve several problems the default value of ROC.
1. We're interested in the magnitude or strength of the slope of change.
2. We need a number that we can make decisions from between 0 and something close to a peak of 10.
3. We need the ability to define a threshold where a directional change might be taking place.
The Directional Slope Strength Index solves these problems by taking 1000 samples of your given Rate of Change input and calculating a standard score (or z-score) which represents the number of standard deviations by which the current rate of change is above or below the historical average. A higher number represents a stronger move up and a lower (negative) number represents a stronger move down. A value closer to 0 would represent a sideways trend or the slowing of a current trend.
A potential threshold could be 2 or -2 which is two standard deviations from the mean ROC.
The inputs can be modified to control the sensitivity.
1. A lower ROC length would provide a more sensitive measure, but still measure how that sensitive input changes over 1000 samples.
2. I recommend keeping the sample rate at 1000 as that provides enough historical data to give a more accurate distribution and therefore a more accurate DSSI (z-score).
A number of decisions can be made from the indicator:
1. When the DSSI crosses above 2, it could be a sign of a strong move upward. When below -2 it could be a sign of a strong downward move.
2. When the DSSI persists in a positive or negative channel between 0 and 2 or 0 and -2 this could indicate the formation of the next trend.
3. Values outside 2 and -2 standard deviations should be interpreted as high volatility environments.
4. For convenience, a highest and lowest DSSI have been plotted to provide references to the historical extremes.
I'm open to any questions and feedback as this is a first, original indicator for me.
Market Bias (CEREBR)Hello Everyone. I hope you are all doing great. It's been a long time since I posted my first script here, and I got a lot of response from that.
So, I thought I should share this script also to everyone, and anyone that may find it useful. Personally, I use it to tell the general market conditions.
Here's how I works : The script tries to determine the overall direction of the market, using smoothed Heiken Ashi candles. The coloring system (using bright and dark colors) is an attempt to detect strong market and weak market conditions. There's also an oscillator within the script, but for now it isn't plotted. Credits to @jackvmk, I used part of his open-script code in this indicator.\
I have considered using the slope of the indicator plot as a filter for ranging market conditions. The plot goes relatively flat in 'flat' markets. However, I have not done anything about that yet. Maybe some other time.
I hope you find this useful. If you find a way to use this, please share it with the community in the comment section.
NOTE: THIS IS BY NO MEANS FINANCIAL ADVICE. You'll have to make your studies and come up with a way to apply this indicator to your trading style and strategy.
By the way, I would be going with the name 'CEREBR' for any subsequent scripts I release from now on.
Happy Trading, guys.
GRID Trading Optimized for Directional MarketsGRID trading is a popular trading strategy in Forex and Commodity markets.
It it however a tricky strategy when markets become directional.
This Directional GRID system adjusts its trading strategy and direction based on Overbought and Oversold RSI conditions on 2 timeframes.
It uses the short timeframe (chart) to trigger adjustments, so it delays buying/selling of all the levels, until it becomes overbought/sold
And it used the longer timeframe to trigger trading direction long/short.
This makes it far less likely to ever get "underwater", and builds in extra profit potential during market extremes.
I have coded it when i was trading SLV, but it could be optimized for any market using a "TradingView Strategy Input Optimizer".
Backtest based on a 25k max capital investment during 6 months.
Check the NET Profit (50%) result, and compare against the Buy & Hold (13.5%) return.
Losing trades are the ones that are currently open..
Av Bars in trades is the time between direction changes, as Position Adjustments are done more frequently.

[UPRIGHT] Awesome DMI+Hello Traders,
Today I'm releasing a spin on an 'oldie but goodie'; the Directional Movement Index (DMI).
DMI is a combination of 3 different indicators developed by the famous J. Welles Wilder. DMI has 3 different plots: the ADX, +DI, and -DI. The first is the ADX (Average Directional Index), which Wilder created in 1978 to show the strength of a trend by comparing the current price with the previous price range. The other two are the +DI (positive directional indicator) and the -DI show up as two separate lines, +DI is the difference between the highest price of the current day and the highest price of the day before, and -DI does the same calculation with the current and previous day's lows.
How does it work?
When the ADX line is above 25 (as a general rule, some traders use a different threshold, +/- 5), the trend is strong. When the +DI line is above the -DI line, the asset (stock) is moving in an uptrend, and the opposite means the asset is in a downtrend.
How is this different?
Uses multiple calculations to produce signals for an indicator than normally doesn't have any.
Multiple ADX's, +DI's, and -DI's for better accuracy and clearer direction changes.
Ability to use 2 different background highlight signals and several buy/sell signals.
Fully customizable (as always), ability to turn on or off any signals, change any of the colors to suit your needs.
Added pre-filled Alerts.
The ribbons created by the fill make it easier to see the change in direction of each plot.
The chart should look like:
Cheers,
Mike

ADX Change
––––History & Credit
The idea of ADX change came from a trading book I read by Charles Le Beau and David Lucas (Computer Analysis of the Futures Market).
–––––What it does
The script calculates the Average Directional Index (ADX) and the period to period change. The script calculated 4 conditions:
– ADX accelerating to the upside (color cyan):
ADX>20
DMI+>DMI-
This period's absolute ADX number is HIGHER than pervious' period ADX number
- ADX momentum slowing to the upside (color blue):
ADX>20
DMI+>DMI-
This period's absolute ADX number is LOWER than pervious' period ADX number
- ADX momentum accelerating to the downside (color yellow):
ADX>20
DMI->DMI+
This period's absolute ADX number is HIGHER than pervious' period ADX number
- ADX momentum slowing to the downside (color yellow):
ADX>20
DMI->DMI+
This period's absolute ADX number is LOWER than pervious' period ADX number
–––––How to use it
I combine the ADX Change as a secondary indicator, that confirms my positions. I combine it with other momentum indicators like the TTM Squeeze.
If I am in position and the ADX Change is cyan, I would hold on the position until I see some shift in momentum or ADX change. This helps me hold on to my winners.
For the more advanced traders, it could be used to indicate shifts in momentum and buy points.
Natural Directional Combo [CC]The Natural Directional Combo was created by Jim Sloman as part of his Ocean theory series and I believe this is his final unique formula that I'm publishing to make them all open source. If you know of any others then please send me a message. He passed away at a young age and I want to make sure his legacy lives on. Big thanks to @altcoinz and @tmac87 for giving me his full source code and materials in order to publish everything. So like my Natural Market Combo script, this essentially take his Natural Stochastic Indicator and his Natural Directional Index to create his own average of both indicators. Like the market combo indicator, I created a fix to address the errors in his original script and included both strong and normal buy and sell signals. Strong signals are darker in color and normal signals are lighter in color. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other scripts you would like to see me publish!
Natural Directional Index [CC]The Natural Directional Index was created by Jim Sloman and this is another indicator that I'm publishing from the collection of Ocean indicators. I want to make sure his legacy is covered by as many eyes as possible. This is his version of the directional index indicator but he uses his weighting method to use the square root of time and you can see that the signals are very smooth. Big thanks of course to @altcoinz and @tmac87 for helping me get the full source code and files for all of his work. This indicator captures the current trend and I have used my strong buy and sell signals to let you know the strength of the current trend. Darker colors are for strong signals and lighter colors are for normal ones. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators you would like to see me publish!
DMI With Crosses (MyNewTrade)Directional Movement Indicator:
+DI and -DI
I changed the color of the bar bars according to the crossed of +DI and -DI . It helps us to have an idea of whether the trend is continuing or not.
+DI crossover to -DI barcolor is Aqua, if not bar color is Red.
It also helps us to find the lowest and highest points of the graph according to the positions of Adx +DI and -DI .
It gives warnings at the lowest and highest points, which helps us to detect the direction of the trend.
[Jett.][GoldenRush] Market DirectionThis script was created to analyze levels of market trends.
This is an indicator that is used to analyze the overall 2 levels.

3.As for the trend in 24-week or 6-month. Used to find the direction of the price And helps confirm that a trend is starting to take a certain direction.
Sub-level trend (Tactical Level)
1.Price in the level 12-week or 3-month. We use it to calculate the direction of movement in the short term, it is possible that the market will be bullish or bearish in 3-month.
2.And the 12-week or 3-month price is a confirmation of how strongly the short-term price moves in any direction.
3.If there will be a correction of the price base 12 weeks or 3-month price swings always happen first.
4.The 1-month price is the same as the trigger, if the market has a breakout in any way it could mean the start of a short sway.
By this indicator Besides being used to measure direction or trend, it can also be used as a significant filter for both support and resistance for short, medium, long term.

Crypto Directional Movement Index DMI/ADXCrypto ADX + DMI
This indicator is a customised version of the ADX + DMI by J. Welles Wilder in 1978, with default settings optimal for cryptocurrencies.
What is the DMI (ADX) Indicator?
According to Investopedia:
DMI (ADX) consists of three indicators that measure a trend’s strength and direction. Three lines compose the Direction Movement Index (DMI): ADX (black line), DI+ (green line), and DI- (red line). The Average Directional Index (ADX) line shows the strength of the trend. The higher the ADX value, the stronger the trend. The color of the lines can be altered, but black, green, and red are the default in most software.
The Plus Direction Indicator (DI+) and Minus Direction Indicator (DI-) show the current price direction. When the DI+ is above DI-, the current price momentum is up. When the DI- is above DI+, the current price momentum is down.
This Version
The ADX default value has been changed to from 14 to 2 (optimal for cryptocurrencies). The background flashes red when the –DMI goes above the HZ1 threshold and green when the +DMI does the same. There is an option to change it so that it’ll only flash when the ADX and the DMI are both above the threshold. The ADX changes color when above HZ1.
Red and green plotshapes appear at DMI crossovers and three horizontal lines have also been added.
Any suggestions are most welcome
ADX Histogram with DI linesInspired by the user scarf from Tradingview. In contrast with that other indicator, this one instead of a simple moving average (SMA) for the ADX calculations, uses a running moving average (RMA) or also known as Wilder's Average. I like having a histogram for the DI lines over just having lines alone because it makes it easier to see. In addition I made it so that values less than 5 for the DI lines are colored lightly to note that the movement was less significant(might not matter but some might care about it, atleast I do). The ADX has a color fainting effect too, and when it goes above the threshold then it becomes black to note that it is trending, as the indicator suggests.
The advantages with these additions and changes are that it shows a more traditional moving average like the original author Wellers Wilder suggested and you can see the crossings and directional movement changes easier from seeing the colors on the histogram easier than you would by looking at the DI lines alone. The disadvantages are you won't be able to tell when the ADX line is above both DI lines and when the ADX then makes a decrease from there(which can sometimes show a reversal), but personally it doesn't matter too much to me and perhaps to those who care more about seeing the direction than having to focus on all those 3 lines crossing all over the place.
Directional Bias OverlaySimple indicator that keeps track of your thoughts on directional bias from the Monthly Timeframe down to the 1 Hour Timeframe. Features include:
Toggle Timeframes On or Off
Keep Track Of Up To 10 Currency Pairs At A Time
Adjust The Offset From Price So The Indicator Is Out Of The Way
Directional Volume IndexA new idea of mine that I am presently experimenting on for my trades.
The Directional Volume Index (DVI) is defined as follows:
DVI = VWMA(len1) - SMA(len2), where by default, len1==len2
The sign of the DVI provides volume confirmation of the direction of the price trend.
The magnitude of the DVI provides the volume confirmation of the strength of the price trend.

Combo Backtest 123 Reversal & Directional Trend Index (DTI) This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal.
First strategy
This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The
Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies.
The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50.
The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50.
Second strategy
This technique was described by William Blau in his book "Momentum,
Direction and Divergence" (1995). His book focuses on three key aspects
of trading: momentum, direction and divergence. Blau, who was an electrical
engineer before becoming a trader, thoroughly examines the relationship between
price and momentum in step-by-step examples. From this grounding, he then looks
at the deficiencies in other oscillators and introduces some innovative techniques,
including a fresh twist on Stochastics. On directional issues, he analyzes the
intricacies of ADX and offers a unique approach to help define trending and
non-trending periods.
Directional Trend Index is an indicator similar to DM+ developed by Welles Wilder.
The DM+ (a part of Directional Movement System which includes both DM+ and
DM- indicators) indicator helps determine if a security is "trending." William
Blau added to it a zeroline, relative to which the indicator is deemed positive or
negative. A stable uptrend is a period when the DTI value is positive and rising, a
downtrend when it is negative and falling.

Direction&Strength Indicator
This simple Indicator shows:
(1) The D irection of a trend
(2) The S trength of a trend
hence the name "Direction & Strength Indicator.
How to read this Indicator:
Indicator above "resistance area" => strong UP trend
Indicator above 0 .................. => weak UP trend
Indicator below 0 .................. => weak DOWN trend
Indicator below "resistance area" => strong DOWN trend
Notice that this is a time-lagging indicator. Severity of timelag depends on set period of the indicator!
You can also identify overbought and oversold areas. (Tip: Compare to RSI.)
ADX & DI trend exhaustionAn EMA is applied to the ADX in order to catch the exhaustion of a trend (i.e. ADX line crossunder EMAADX line) or the possible formation of a new one. In the first case, we would wait a confirmation signal, which happens when the crossunder has a value greater then 50. A new trend is created when the difference between the ADX and the EMAADX is positive, with ADX greater then 20. As confirmation, we would have the DI+ greater then 20 e the DI- smaller then 20 (this would trigger a bullish sentiment, bearish for the opposite), consequently the histogram will be display in green (red in the bearish case).
Average Directional Index-BuschiA simple modification of the built-in "Average Directional Index":
To identify wether there is an uptrend or a downtrend, the function color is conditional:
no trend: black
small uptrend (weak threshold): light green
big uptrend (strong threshold): green
small downtrend (weak threshold): light red
big downtrend (strong threshold): red
