Log Know Sure ThingThe Know Sure Thing indicator (KST) is a momentum based oscillator. KST is based on Rate of Change (ROC). Know Sure Thing takes four different timeframes of ROC and smooth's them out using Simple Moving Averages. KST then calculates a final value that fluctuates between positive and negative values above and below a Zero Line. There is also a signal line which is an SMA of the KST line itself. Essentially, the Know Sure Thing Indicator measures the momentum of four separate price cycles. Technical Analysts use this information to spot divergences, overbought and oversold conditions and crossovers.
KST takes the Rate of Change for four different time periods, smooth's them out with moving averages, weights them and then sums the results. The intention is to get a better understanding of the momentum for a particular security of financial instrument. The general rule is that when KST is positive, then momentum is up and when KST is negative, then momentum is down. This would translate to Bullish and Bearish markets respectively.
The original Know Sure Thing indicator (KST) was developed by Martin Pring and introduced in 1992 in Stocks & Commodities Magazine. He originally referred to the indicator as the Summed Rate of Change.
This version of the indicator "Log Know Sure Thing" (L-KST) was developed by me as a refined solution to the original. Exponential charts like Bitcoin need exponential calculations. Simplistic approaches don't work in today's world. This indicator manages to adapt in all kinds of scenarios...
From negative charts:
(notice that the original KST breaks)
To extreme charts:
(again, the original doesn't manage to capture the Bitcoin oscillation)
If you are not familiar with KST, read the following analysis:
www.tradingview.com
For a following version of this indicator I plan to incorporate actual overbought-oversold levels (if this doesn't mark the 20th).
Contrary to the original, this version of KST is bound to specific levels.
Stay tuned for that, it won't take long...
Tread lightly, for this is no-mans-land.
Use caution when using contraband indicators.

KST
MACD (KST Based) V2This is the next version of the original indicator:
To anyone unfamiliar with KST, it is a cousin of RSI. Basically, this indicator is analyzed like we would analyze charts using Stochastic RSI. It is basically an "energy oscillator".
This indicator considers price with the theory of relativity.
Relativity works this way: A downward moving MACD means that price velocity is slowing down. An upward moving one means that price is accelerating .
KST-Based MACD is all about relative performance. Exponential charts behave identically to horizontal ones.
Compare SPX and SPX/CURRCIR and see for yourself.
Just like the classic MACD, bear/bull signals appear on the histogram.
A band is drawn around the MACD, which is useful to pinpoint overbought/oversold conditions / squeezes.
It is also very useful for pinpointing / confirming divergences.
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.
-Father Grigori
P.S. This is version 2 of the original one. Custom formulae are used all around this indicator. Basically, every formula has been reimagined for it to work in super-long-term timeframes. This indicator, compared to the previous one, doesn't ignore any chart data. It takes every single candle into consideration.
P.S.2. Pro tip: Use two separate windows, one with KST-MACD and one with KST-Histogram, just like in the cover.
KST-Based MACDAs a follow-up to my previous script:
I am posting a stand-alone KST-based MACD.
Note that this indicator is highly laggy. Specific care must be taken when using it.
The MACD-Signal crossing is quite delayed but it is a definite confirmation.
For earlier signs, the Histogram must be analyzed. A shift from Green-White signals the 1st Bear Signal.
A MACD-Signal crossing signals the 2nd Bear SIgnal.
The same applies for bull-signs.
This indicator is useful for long-term charts on which one might want to pinpoint clear, longterm divergences.
Standard RSI, Stochastic RSI and MACD are notoriously problematic when trying to pinpoint long-term divergences.
Finally, this indicator is not meant for pinpointing entry-exit positions. I find it useful for macro analysis. In my experience, the decreased sensitivity of this indicator can show very strong signs, that can be quite laggy.
Inside the indicator there is a setting for "exotic calculations". This is an attempt to make this chart work in both linear/ negative charts (T10Y2Y) and log charts (SPX)
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.

KST con HMA---------- ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ----------
The indicator created is called "KST with HMA" and is used to measure the impulse of an asset's price.
The code begins by defining four variables representing ROC (Rate of Change) period lengths for calculating the KST (Know Sure Thing) and a variable for the length of the HMA (Hull Moving Average).
Next, an HMA function is defined to calculate the Hull Moving Average, a type of weighted moving average that adjusts for price volatility.
ROC values are then calculated for the four periods defined above and KST values are calculated as a weighted sum of the ROC values. These values are then normalized with the HMA and the standard deviation of the HMA is calculated. The normalized value is finally plotted with three different color lines: black for values greater than 1, red for values less than -1, and green for values between -1 and 1.
Finally, a black dashed line is plotted to represent the zero line. The green line indicates a phase of market uncertainty or lateralization, while the indicator can be used to identify buy points above zero and sell points below zero.
---------- ITALIAN DESCRIPTION ----------
L'indicatore creato è chiamato "KST con HMA" e viene utilizzato per misurare l'impulso del prezzo di un asset.
Il codice inizia definendo quattro variabili che rappresentano le lunghezze dei periodi di ROC (Rate of Change) per il calcolo del KST (Know Sure Thing) e una variabile per la lunghezza dell'HMA (Hull Moving Average).
Successivamente viene definita una funzione HMA per il calcolo della Hull Moving Average, un tipo di media mobile ponderata che si adatta alla volatilità del prezzo.
Vengono poi calcolati i valori ROC per i quattro periodi definiti in precedenza e calcolati i valori KST come somma ponderata dei valori ROC. Questi valori vengono poi normalizzati con l'HMA e viene calcolata la deviazione standard dell'HMA. Il valore normalizzato viene infine plottato con tre diverse linee di colore: nero per valori superiori a 1, rosso per valori inferiori a -1 e verde per valori tra -1 e 1.
Infine, viene plottata una linea tratteggiata nera per rappresentare la linea zero. La linea verde indica una fase di incertezza o lateralizzazione del mercato, mentre l'indicatore può essere utilizzato per individuare punti di acquisto sopra lo zero e di vendita al di sotto dello zero.
Adaptive Fisherized KSTIntroduction
Heyo guys, here is a new adaptive fisherized indicator of me.
I applied Inverse Fisher Transform, Ehlers dominant cycle analysis,
smoothing and divergence analysis on the Know Sure Thing (KST) indicator.
Moreover, the indicator doesn't repaint.
Usage
I didn't backtest the indicator, but I recommend the 5–15 min timeframe.
It can be also used on other timeframs, but I have no experience with that.
The indicator has no special filter system, so you need to find an own combo in order to build a trading system.
A trend filter like KAMA or my Adaptive Fisherized Trend Intensity Index could fit well.
If you find a good combo, let me know it in the comments pls.

Know Sure Thing - Weekly Candle VersionKnow Sure Thing - Plotted on weekly candles (source from Martin Pring)
Developed by Martin Pring, Know Sure Thing (KST) is a momentum oscillator based on the smoothed rate-of-change for four different timeframes.
Modifications:
Arrows representing long/short signals based on the timeframe (S for short term, M for mid term, L for long term)
Know Sure Thing and EMA Strategy by JLXThis is a simple strategy based in Know Sure Thing indicator and an Exponential moving average,
Rules are as follow:
- You can go long when the KST cross signal bellow 0 and price closes above the target EMA
- You can go short when the KST cross signal above 0 and price closes bellow the target EMA
I include a trailing stop loss, default its 0.5%
Hope you enjoy it
Dankland Playground Moneymaker - V2“version 2” of my playground bot script. Its essentially a powerhouse suite of strategies. Although it is similar to the previous script, it nets different results as sections have been changed. Such as the somewhat reluctant removal of the Chande Momentum... The RSIs have also been updated, this was one of the main changes. RSIS now include a Moving Average cross of RSI to generate signals above and below the given thresholds instead of simply on crossing a threshold. This should give greater functionality overall. Most functions including Moving Averages have been updated to include a wider range of kinds of moving averages. This includes not just the moving average cross, but MACD and RSIs as well. I tried to perform the same upgrade on the %B, Stochastics and SMI, but hit the unpacked code limit of 60,000 lines... So, more “versions” will have to come for future “upgrades”, with the recognition that there will be cases where the old, “downgraded” versions may perform better and that some people (like myself) may continue to use them on some markets until I/we devise superior settings on the new ones for said markets. For instance, instead of replacing my 1 hr BTCUSD bot (where I used the now deleted Chande to pretty pleasing affect...) I made a new one for LINKUSD 10 min so I can have both running for now and work on replacing the BTCUSD later.
How it works basically is this... you have 16 oscillators which can all be used as independently as you wish. They can be split up into different groups or ran all together.
When in separate groups they should not be able to sell eachothers positions without triggering a full stop loss by turning the Independence/Stop All switches on. Every single oscillator has its own entry and exit position sizing which can be stated as either a percent of balance or a flat amount of contracts (or both combined). Each oscillator has a minimum amount of profit you can tell it to sell it, which is calculated from the average cost of your current position, which does include all groups. This works out to help you average out better entry and exit prices, essentially a method of DCAing.
You can set the minimum sale amount, which is to keep it from placing orders below your exchanges minimum dollar trade cost.
All this functionality combined also ensures more accurate back tests by ensuring that the script simply cannot spend money it doesn't see as in the balance, whereas other scripts will use a percentage of equity, and once 100% of your equity is in BTC for instance, it will keep buying more BTC for free and thus spoof up backtest numbers. If you look through the strategies here, many people claim to have amazing scripts and then you look into it and this is happening and skewing their numbers. These people are either very ignorant or what they made or scam artists and trolls in my opinion.
This version also includes On Bar Close switches for each oscillator. When switched on, signals are only allowed to generate on Bar Close. This helps to prevent retriggering from live signals, which when you are running this many oscillators, will become a problem! However, in most cases, you do not need to generate signals intrabar, as backtests will show, ignoring intrabar buys and sells (intrabar stop losses can still be very important though!) won't exactly keep you from high profitability strategies, but rather, allowing elements of chaos from live indicators moving up and down intrabar will, in fact, drift your actual results further and further from the backtest. You want an accurate backtest though. So choose wisely when you turn these off and you will do better.
The included oscillators are as follows:
NO MORE Chande Momentum cross – REMOVED – I was hitting PINE code limits here so I had to make choices and this one simply had to go. Begone!
Moving Average Cross
MACD cross
%B Bollinger cross
Stochastic cross + region filter
Stochastic RSI cross + region filter
SMII cross and region filter
Three RMIs
Know-Sure-Thing line-cross
Coppock Curve line-cross
TRIX line-cross
RSI of MA w/ MA cross
RSI of MA of KST w/ MA cross
RSI of MA of Coppock Curve w/ MA cross
RSI of MA of Trix w/ MA cross
So the idea is that this is essentially multiple strategies combined into one backtestable house. Balance is calculated for all position sizes in order to try to prevent false entries that plague so many scripts (IE, you set pyramiding to 2, each buy $1000, initial balance $1000, and yet it buys two orders off the bat for $2000 total and nets 400% profit because the second was considered free, happens on 90+% of scripts on Tradingview if you aren't very very careful!)
You tune each indicator and position size them so that they work together as well as you can and in doing so you are able to create a single backtest that is capable of running a bot, essentially, between multiple strategies - you can run a slower Moving Average cross, a faster SMI cross or MACD , or Bollinger that grabs big moves only, all the while having MACD trade small bonuses along the way. This way you can weight the Risk to Reward of each against eachother.
I will not try to claim this is something you can open and with no work have the best bot on the planet. This scripts intention is to take a lot of relatively common trading strategies and combine them under on roof with some risk management and the ability to weigh each against eachother.
If you are looking for a super advanced singular algorithm that tries to capture every peak and valley exactly on the dot, this is not for you. If you are looking for a tool with a high level of customizability, with a publisher who intends to update it to the best of his ability in accordance to seeking to make the best product that I personally can make for both myself and the community (because I will be using this myself of course!) that was specifically designed with the intention of performing well in spot markets by averaging low entry costs and high exit costs, this is for you! That is the exact intention here. It can certainly work with margin, but you will have to take extra care in setting your stop losses. I intend to make a version capable of going short which will be included as part of the package. It may take some work to keep all of the risk management working as well for shorts though. There will be more scripts added to the “package” as I hit the limit on this one a few times and have had to keep some ideas out already.
The current backtest shown is hand-optimized by myself for Link /USD 10min market (Binance US – shouldn't need much work to fit to other exchange markets) with multiple stop losses.
KSTKST is famouse and Trading View has KST in their indicators
but Trading View's KST can not watch pine code
so i just made this
this code is not that complex,but i hope this work will help someone

Function : Know Sure Thing ! (KST)Firstly : Know Sure Thing, or KST , is a momentum oscillator developed by Martin Pring to make rate-of-change readings easier for traders to interpret. In a 1992 Stocks and Commodities article, Mr. Pring referred to the indicator as "Summed Rate of Change ( KST )," but the KST term stuck with technical analysts. The indicator is relatively common among technical analysts preferring momentum oscillators to make decisions.
References : Investopedia (www.investopedia.com )
Let's start :
Simply :
KST : Above point 0 means long position (positive zone), below point 0 (negative zone) means short position.
I liked this indicator more than RSI because we can evaluate the breaking points of the channels we draw on the indicator according to the regions.
Plus area (positive area), breaking the channel upwards may indicate a very strong rise, and minus area (negative area) the channel downwards may indicate a very strong fall.
As a person who is very keen to identify major trends in advance, I like the KST indicator to approach the target quickly and simply. I also find it very successful in terms of divergences.
CAUTION : This indicator has been written before many times on TV. I have no effort on it. I saved loads only for variable periods. But I have enough experience to say that you are successful in trends with KST . Nevertheless, do not use it alone, as other promoters may benefit.
For example , I divided the standard periods into 4 as in the script. With a correct adaptive period, it has the potential to contribute greatly to accurate moves! You can use with mutable variable periods. Abundant trend lines can be drawn on the indicator and divergences between price and indicator can be sought. Best regards!
