Volatility Channel Oscillator█ OVERVIEW
"Volatility Channel Oscillator" is a technical indicator that analyzes price volatility relative to dynamic price channels, displaying an oscillator, its moving average, and signals based on crossovers and divergences. The indicator offers customizable overbought and oversold levels, gradient visualization, and divergence detection, supported by alerts for key signals.
█ CONCEPTS
The VCO indicator creates dynamic price channels based on a moving average of the price (calculated as the arithmetic mean of the high and low prices: (high + low) / 2) and market volatility (measured as the average candle range and body size). These channels are not displayed on the chart but are used to calculate the oscillator value, which reflects the position of the closing price relative to the channel width, scaled to a range from -100 to +100, with the zero line as the central point. A moving average of the oscillator (SMA) smooths its values, enabling signals based on crossovers with the zero line or overbought/oversold levels. The indicator also detects divergences between price and the oscillator, which may indicate potential trend reversals. VCO is useful for identifying market momentum, reversal points, and trend confirmation, especially when combined with other technical analysis tools.
█ FEATURES
- Volatility Channels: Calculates invisible chart boundaries based on a simple moving average (SMA) of the price (high + low) / 2 and volatility (average candle range and body). The length parameter (default 30) sets the SMA length, and scale (default 200%) adjusts the channel width.
- Oscillator: Determines the oscillator value in the range of -100 to +100, indicating the closing price's position relative to the volatility channel. Displayed with dynamic coloring (green for positive values, red for negative).
- Oscillator Moving Average: A simple moving average (SMA) of the oscillator values, smoothing its movements. The signalLength parameter (default 20) defines the SMA length. Displayed in yellow with an optional gradient.
- Overbought/Oversold Levels: Configurable thresholds for the oscillator (overbought, default 50; oversold, default -50) and its moving average (maOverbought, default 30; maOversold, default -30), shown as horizontal lines with optional gradients. Band colors change dynamically (red for overbought, green for oversold, gray for neutral) based on the moving average's position relative to maOverbought/maOversold, reinforcing other signals.
- Divergences: Detects bullish (price forms a lower low, oscillator a higher low) and bearish (price forms a higher high, oscillator a lower high) divergences using pivots (pivotLength, default 2). Divergences are displayed with a delay equal to the pivot length; larger lengths increase reliability but delay signals. Use as additional confirmation.
Signals:
- Overbought/Oversold Crossovers: Green triangles (buy) when the oscillator crosses above the oversold level, red triangles (sell) when it crosses below the overbought level.
- Zero Line Crossovers: Buy/sell signals when the oscillator crosses the zero line upward (buy) or downward (sell).
- Moving Average Crossovers: Buy/sell signals when the oscillator's moving average crosses the zero line or the maOverbought/maOversold levels. Dynamic band color changes (red/green) at these crossovers reinforce other signals.
- Visualization: Gradient lines for the oscillator, its moving average, overbought/oversold levels, and zero line, with adjustable transparency. Gradient fill between the oscillator and zero line.
Divergence Labels: "Bull" (bullish) and "Bear" (bearish) labels with customizable color and transparency.
- Alerts: Built-in alerts for divergences, overbought/oversold crossovers, and zero line crossovers by the oscillator and its moving average.
█ HOW TO USE
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator via Pine Editor or the Indicators menu on TradingView.
Configure Settings:
- Channel and Oscillator Settings: Adjust the channel SMA length (length, default 30) and channel scaling (scale, default 200%). Increase scale for high-volatility markets.
- Threshold Levels: Set oscillator overbought (overbought, default 50) and oversold (oversold, default -50) levels, and moving average thresholds (maOverbought, default 30; maOversold, default -30).
- Divergence Settings: Enable/disable divergence detection (calculateDivergence) and set pivot length (pivotLength, default 2). Larger values increase reliability but delay signals.
- Signal Settings: Choose signal types (signalType): overbought/oversold, zero line, moving average, or all.
- Styling: Customize colors for the oscillator, moving average, horizontal levels, and divergence labels. Adjust gradient and fill transparency.
Interpreting Signals:
- Buy Signals: Green triangles below the bar when the oscillator or its moving average crosses above the oversold level or zero line.
- Sell Signals: Red triangles above the bar when the oscillator or its moving average crosses below the overbought level or zero line.
- Moving Average Signals: Green/red triangles when the moving average crosses maOverbought/maOversold levels, indicating potential reversals or trend continuation. Dynamic band color changes (red for overbought, green for oversold) at these crossovers reinforce other signals.
- Divergences: "Bull" (bullish) and "Bear" (bearish) labels indicate potential trend reversals with a delay based on pivot length. Use as confirmation.
- Overbought/Oversold Levels: Monitor price reactions in these zones as potential reversal points. Dynamic band color changes based on the moving average reinforce signals.
Signal Confirmation: Use VCO with other tools, such as pivot levels (for key turning points) or Fibonacci levels (for support/resistance zones).
█ APPLICATIONS
- Trend Trading: Zero line crossovers by the oscillator or its moving average identify momentum in uptrends or downtrends.
- Range Trading: Overbought/oversold levels help identify entry/exit points in sideways markets.
- Divergences: Use bullish/bearish divergences as additional confirmation of reversals, especially near key price levels.
- Trend Identification: To analyze trends over a longer perspective, increase the moving average length (signalLength) for more stable signals.
█ NOTES
- Test the indicator across different timeframes and markets to optimize parameters, such as length and scale, for your trading style.
- In strong trends, overbought/oversold levels may persist, requiring additional signal verification.
- Divergences are more reliable on higher timeframes (H4, D1), where market noise is reduced, but their delay requires caution.
- In low-liquidity markets, signals may be less effective, so use on high-liquidity assets is recommended.

AlgoWay GRSIM🧭 What this strategy tries to do
This strategy detects when a market move is losing strength and prepares for a potential reversal, but it waits for fresh momentum confirmation before acting.
It combines:
• RSI-based divergence (to spot exhaustion and potential turning points),
• Impulse MACD (to verify that the new direction actually has force behind it).
________________________________________
⚙️ When it takes trades
Long (Buy):
• A bullish RSI divergence appears (a clue that selling pressure is fading);
• Within a short time window, the Impulse MACD turns strongly positive;
• Optionally, the impulse line itself must be rising (if the Impulse Direction Filter is
enabled).
Short (Sell):
• A bearish RSI divergence appears (buying pressure fading);
• Within a short time window, the Impulse MACD turns strongly negative;
• Optionally, the impulse line must be falling (if the Impulse Direction Filter is enabled).
If momentum confirmation happens too late, the divergence “expires” and the signal is ignored.
________________________________________
🧩 How entries work
1. Reversal clue:
The strategy detects disagreement between price and RSI (price makes a new high/low, RSI doesn’t).
That suggests a shift in underlying strength.
2. Momentum confirmation:
Before entering, the Impulse MACD must agree — showing real push in the same direction.
3. Impulse direction filter (optional):
When enabled, the impulse itself must accelerate (rise for longs, fall for shorts), avoiding fake signals where price diverges but momentum is still fading.
4. No stacking:
It opens only one position at a time.
________________________________________
🚪 How exits work
Two main exit styles:
Conservative (default):
Longs close when impulse crosses below its signal line.
Shorts close when impulse crosses above its signal line.
✅ Keeps trades as long as momentum agrees.
Color-change (fast):
Longs close immediately when impulse flips bearish.
Shorts close immediately when impulse flips bullish.
⚡ Faster and more defensive.
Plus:
Stop Loss (%) and Take Profit (%) act as fixed-distance protective exits (set to 0 to disable either one).
________________________________________
📊 What you’ll see on the chart
A thick Impulse MACD line and thin signal line (oscillator view).
Diamonds — detected bullish/bearish divergence points.
Circles — where impulse crosses its signal (momentum change).
A performance panel (top-right) showing Net Profit, Trades, Win Rate, Profit Factor, Pessimistic PF, and Max Drawdown.
________________________________________
🔧 What you can tune
Signal Lifetime (bars): how long a divergence remains valid.
Impulse Direction Filter: ensure the impulse itself is moving in the trade’s direction.
Stop Loss / Take Profit (%): risk and target in percent.
Exit Style: conservative cross or faster color-change.
RSI / MA / Signal Lengths: adjust responsiveness (defaults are balanced).
________________________________________
💪 Strengths
Confirms reversals using momentum direction, not just divergence.
Avoids “early” signals where momentum is still fading.
Works symmetrically for longs and shorts.
Built-in stop/target protection.
Clear, visual confirmation of all logic components.
________________________________________
⚠️ Things to keep in mind
In sideways markets, the impulse can flip often — prefer conservative exits.
Too small SL/TP → constant stop-outs.
Too wide SL/TP → deep drawdowns.
Always test with different timeframes and markets.
________________________________________
💡 Practical tips
Start with default settings.
Enable “Use Impulse Direction Filter” in trending markets, disable it in very choppy ones.
Focus on Profit Factor, Win Rate, and Max Drawdown after several dozen trades.
Keep SL/TP roughly aligned with typical swing size.
“AlgoWay GRSIM” is a reversal-with-confirmation strategy: it spots likely turns, demands real momentum alignment (optionally verified by impulse direction), and manages exits with clear momentum cues plus built-in protective limits.

2. “𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐇. 𝐃𝐨𝐰 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝” (2022)
for outstanding research in Technical Analysis,
from the Chartered Market Technicians Association (CMTA)
The RSI Gradient was my idea, but quite frankly, if I go looking around I suppose I'll find that others had the same idea.
This is the first time I've ever published any code, so if I stepped on anyone's toes. I'm sorry.
CMF, RSI, CCI, MACD, OBV, Fisher, Stoch RSI, ADX (+DI/-DI)Eight normalized indicators are used in conjunction with the CMF, CCI, MACD, and Stoch RSI indicators. You can track buy and sell decisions by tracking swings. The zero line is for reversal tracking at -20, +20, +50, and +80. You can use any of the nine indicators individually or in combination.
Adaptive Vol Gauge [ParadoxAlgo]This is an overlay tool that measures and shows market ups and downs (volatility) based on daily high and low prices. It adjusts automatically to recent price changes and highlights calm or wild market periods. It colors the chart background and bars in shades of blue to cyan, with optional small labels for changes in market mood. Use it for info only—combine with your own analysis and risk controls. It's not a buy/sell signal or promise of results.Key FeaturesSmart Volatility Measure: Tracks price swings with a flexible time window that reacts to market speed.
Market Mood Detection: Spots high-energy (wild) or low-energy (calm) phases to help see shifts.
Visual Style: Uses smooth color fades on the background and bars—cyan for calm, deep blue for wild—to blend nicely on your chart.
Custom Options: Change settings like time periods, sensitivity, colors, and labels.
Chart Fit: Sits right on your main price chart without extra lines, keeping things clean.
How It WorksThe tool figures out volatility like this:Adjustment Factor:Looks at recent price ranges compared to longer ones.
Tweaks the time window (between 10-50 bars) based on how fast prices are moving.
Volatility Calc:Adds up logs of high/low ranges over the adjusted window.
Takes the square root for the final value.
Can scale it to yearly terms for easy comparison across chart timeframes.
Mood Check:Compares current volatility to its recent average and spread.
Flags "high" if above your set level, "low" if below.
Neutral in between.
This setup makes it quicker in busy markets and steadier in quiet ones.Settings You Can ChangeAdjust in the tool's menu:Base Time Window (default: 20): Starting point for calculations. Bigger numbers smooth things out but might miss quick changes.
Adjustment Strength (default: 0.5): How much it reacts to price speed. Low = steady; high = quick changes.
Yearly Scaling (default: on): Makes values comparable across short or long charts. Turn off for raw numbers.
Mood Sensitivity (default: 1.0): How strict for calling high/low moods. Low = more shifts; high = only big ones.
Show Labels (default: on): Adds tiny "High Vol" or "Low Vol" tags when moods change. They point up or down from bars.
Background Fade (default: 80): How see-through the color fill is (0 = invisible, 100 = solid).
Bar Fade (default: 50): How much color blends into your candles or bars (0 = none, 100 = full).
How to Read and Use ItColor Shifts:Background and bars fade based on mood strength:Cyan shades mean calm markets (good for steady, back-and-forth trades).
Deep blue shades mean wild markets (watch for big moves or turns).
Smooth changes show volatility building or easing.
Labels:"High Vol" (deep blue, from below bar): Start of wild phase.
"Low Vol" (cyan, from above bar): Start of calm phase.
Only shows at changes to avoid clutter. Use for timing strategy tweaks.
Trading Ideas:Mood-Based Plays: In wild phases (deep blue), try chase-momentum or breakout trades since swings are bigger. In calm phases (cyan), stick to bounce-back or range trades.
Risk Tips: Cut trade sizes in wild times to handle bigger losses. Use calm times for longer holds with close stops.
Chart Time Tips: Turn on yearly scaling for matching short and long views. Test settings on past data—loosen for quick trades (more alerts), tighten for longer ones (fewer, stronger).
Mix with Others: Add trend lines or averages—buy in calm up-moves, sell in wild down-moves. Check with volume or key levels too.
Special Cases: In big news events, it reacts faster. On slow assets, it might overstate swings—ease the adjustment strength.
Limits and TipsIt looks back at past data, so it trails real-time action and can't predict ahead.
Results differ by stock or timeframe—test on history first.
Colors and tags are just visuals; set your own alerts if needed.

Divergences + Alerts (ANY Indicator)📊 Divergences + Alerts (ANY Indicator)
This versatile indicator detects four types of divergences between price action and an oscillator:
Buyer Exhaustion
Buyer Absorption
Seller Exhaustion
Seller Absorption
Each divergence type is automatically identified and visually marked on the chart with colored lines. The indicator also includes built-in alert conditions for all four divergence types, allowing traders to receive real-time notifications when potential reversal signals occur.
By default, the oscillator is a candle-style visualization of the Money Flow Index (MFI), enhanced with volatility filtering via a VWMA-based ATR. However, users can replace the default MFI oscillator with any external source using the “Plug External Source” input, enabling full customization and compatibility with other indicators.
Key features:
🔍 Detects both exhaustion and absorption divergences
🔔 Alerts for each divergence type
🕯️ Candle-style oscillator visualization
🔌 Optional input for external indicator sources
⚙️ ATR-based filtering for precision
Ideal for traders seeking to spot early signs of trend reversals or momentum shifts with customizable flexibility.

BH Ergodic (TSI-style) [v5]The BG Ergodic script is a custom momentum and trend-confirmation tool that builds on the classic True Strength Index (TSI) and Ergodic Oscillator concepts. It smooths price momentum over multiple exponential averages to identify underlying trend direction, exhaustion, and potential reversals with reduced noise.
Unlike a standard TSI, the BG Ergodic combines:
Dual-smoothing filters for both momentum and signal lines, giving a cleaner response in choppy markets.
Dynamic color transitions that highlight bullish and bearish phases based on crossovers and slope changes.
Optional histogram plotting to visualize the spread between the Ergodic line and its signal line for early trend-shift detection.
This indicator works best on swing or trend-following timeframes (e.g., 1H–1D) and can be used to:
Confirm trend direction before entries,
Filter false breakouts, or
Spot momentum divergence near key support/resistance zones.

Z-Score Momentum | MisinkoMasterThe Z-Score Momentum is a new trend analysis indicator designed to catch reversals, and shifts in trends by comparing the "positive" and "negative" momentum by using the Z-Score.
This approach helps traders and investors get unique insight into the market of not just Crypto, but any market.
A deeper dive into the indicator
First, I want to cover the "Why?", as I believe it will ease of the part of the calculation to make it easier to understand, as by then you will understand how it fits the puzzle.
I had an attempt to create a momentum oscillator that would catch reversals and provide high tier accuracy while maintaining the main part => the speed.
I thought back to many concepts, divergences between averages?
- Did not work
Maybe a MACD rework?
- Did not work with what I tried :(
So I thought about statistics, Standard Deviation, Z-Score, Sharpe/Sortino/Omega ratio...
Wait, was that the Z-Score? I only tried the For Loop version of it :O
So on my way back from school I formulated a concept (originaly not like this but to that later) that would attempt to use the Z-Score as an accurate momentum oscillator.
Many ideas were falling out of the blue, but not many worked.
After almost giving up on this, and going to go back to developing my strategies, I tried one last thing:
What if we use divergences in the average, formulated like a Z-score?
Surprise-surprise, it worked!
Now to explain what I have been so passionately yapping about, and to connect the pieces of the puzzle once and for all:
The indicator compares the "strength" of the bullish/bearish factors (could be said differently, but this is my "speach bubble", and I think this describes it the best)
What could we use for the "bullish/bearish" factors?
How about high & low?
I mean, these are by definitions the highest and lowest points in price, which I decided to interpret as: The highest the bull & bear "factors" achieved that bar.
The problem here is comparison, I mean high will ALWAYS > low, unless the asset decided to unplug itself and stop moving, but otherwise that would be unfair.
Now if I use my Z-score, it will get higher while low is going up, which is the opposite of what I want, the bearish "factor" is weaker while we go up!
So I sat on my ret*rded a*s for 25 minutes, completly ignoring the fact the number "-1" exists.
Surprise surprise, multiplying the Z-Score of the low by -1 did what I wanted!
Now it reversed itself (magically). Now while the low keeps going down, the bear factor increases, and while it goes up the bear factor lowers.
This was btw still too noisy, so instead of the classic formula:
a = current value
b = average value
c = standard deviation of a
Z = (a-b)/c
I used:
a = average value over n/2 period
b = average value over n period
c = standard deviation of a
Z = (a-b)/c
And then compared the Z-Score of High to the Z-Score of Low by basic subtraction, which gives us final result and shows us the strength of trend, the direction of the trend, and possibly more, which I may have not found.
As always, this script is open source, so make sure to play around with it, you may uncover the treasure that I did not :)
Enjoy Gs!

RSI VWAP v1 [JopAlgo]RSI VWAP v1.1 made stronger by volume-aware!
We know there's nothing new and the original RSI already does an excellent job. We're just working on small, practical improvements – here's our take: The same basic idea, clearer display, and a single, specially developed rolling line: a VWAP of the RSI that incorporates volume (participation) into the calculation.
Do you prefer the pure classic?
You can still use Wilder or Cutler engines –
but the star here is the VW-RSI + rolling line.
This RSI also offers the possibility of illustrating a possible
POC (Point of Control - or the HAL or VAL) level.
However, the indicator does NOT plot any of these levels itself.
We have included an illustration in the chart for this!
We hope this version makes your decision-making easier.
What you’ll see
The RSI line with a 50 midline and optional bands: either static 70/30 or adaptive μ±k·σ of the Rolling Line.
One smoothing concept only: the Rolling Line (light blue) = VWAP of RSI.
Shadow shading between RSI and the Rolling Line (green when RSI > line, red when RSI < line).
A lighter tint only on the parts of that shadow that sit above the upper band or below the lower band (quick overbought/oversold context).
Simple divergence lines drawn from RSI pivots (green for regular bullish, red for regular bearish). No labels, no buy/sell text—kept deliberately clean.
What’s new, and why it helps
VW-RSI engine (default):
RSI can be computed from volume-weighted up/down moves, so momentum reflects how much traded when price moved—not just the direction.
Rolling Line (VWAP of RSI) with pure VWAP adaptation:
Low volume: blends toward a faster VWAP so early, thin starts aren’t missed.
Volume spikes: blends toward a slower VWAP so a single heavy bar doesn’t whip the curve.
You can reveal the Base Rolling (pre-adaptation) line to see exactly how much adaptation is happening.
Adaptive bands (optional):
Instead of fixed 70/30, use mean ± k·stdev of the Rolling Line over a lookback. Levels breathe with the market—useful in strong trends where static bounds stay pinned.
Minimal, readable panel:
One smoothing, one story. The shadow tells you who’s in control; the lighter highlight shows stretch beyond your lines.
How to read it (fast)
Bias: RSI above 50 (and a rising Rolling Line) → bullish bias; below 50 → bearish bias.
Trigger: RSI crossing the Rolling Line with the bias (e.g., above 50 and crossing up).
Stretch: Near/above the upper band, avoid chasing; near/below the lower band, avoid panic—prefer a cross back through the line.
Divergence lines: Use as context, not as standalone signals. They often help you wait for the next cross or avoid late entries into exhaustion.
Settings that actually matter
RSI Engine: VW-RSI (default), Wilder, or Cutler.
Rolling Line Length: the VWAP length on RSI (higher = calmer, lower = earlier).
Adaptive behavior (pure VWAP):
Speed-up on Low Volume → blends toward fast VWAP (factor of your length).
Dampen Spikes (volume z-score) → blends toward slow VWAP.
Fast/Slow Factors → how far those fast/slow variants sit from the base length.
Bands: choose Static 70/30 or Adaptive μ±k·σ (set the lookback and k).
Visuals: show/hide Base Rolling (ref), main shadow, and highlight beyond bands.
Signal gating: optional “ignore first bars” per day/session if you dislike open noise.
Starter presets
Scalp (1–5m): RSI 9–12, Rolling 12–18, FastFactor ~0.5, SlowFactor ~2.0, Adaptive on.
Intraday (15m–1H): RSI 10–14, Rolling 18–26, Bands k = 1.0–1.4.
Swing (4H–1D): RSI 14–20, Rolling 26–40, Bands k = 1.2–1.8, Adaptive on.
Where it shines (and limits)
Best: liquid markets where volume structure matters (majors, indices, large caps).
Works elsewhere: even with imperfect volume, the shadow + bands remain useful.
Limits: very thin/illiquid assets reduce the benefit of volume-weighting—lengthen settings if needed.

Composite Stochastic Oscillator (CSO) [SharpStrat]Composite Stochastic Oscillator (CSO)
The Composite Stochastic Oscillator (CSO) is a refined momentum tool designed to improve on the limitations of the traditional stochastic indicator. Standard stochastics are often too sensitive, producing choppy signals and frequent false turns. CSO tackles this problem by combining multiple stochastic calculations, each with different lengths and smoothing settings, into a single, balanced output.
The goal of combining these stochastic variants is to create a more stable and reliable reading of market momentum. Each version of the stochastic captures different aspects of price behavior like shorter ones react faster, while longer ones filter noise. CSO brings them together mathematically to form a composite oscillator that reacts smoothly and consistently across varying market conditions. This makes it a useful improvement over the standard stochastic, providing traders with a more dependable signal while retaining the familiar interpretation framework.
How It Works
Calculates five independent stochastic oscillators with customizable K, D, and slowing parameters.
Each stochastic contributes to the final composite value according to its assigned weight, allowing the user to emphasize faster or slower reactions.
The resulting composite K is then smoothed into a D line using a chosen moving average method (SMA, EMA, WMA, or RMA).
The oscillator is plotted along with optional overbought/oversold levels and a color fill to enhance visual interpretation.
A compact on-chart table displays the current K and D readings for quick reference.
Comparison with normal Stochastic
Compared to a standard stochastic, the CSO generally produces smoother lines and fewer false flips. As evident in the comparison chart, this improves upon the normal stochastic by reducing noise and making signals more reliable, although results depend on parameter settings too.
How To Use It
Use the CSO exactly like a normal stochastic: look for crossovers, overbought/oversold zones, and divergences.
In practice, CSO should provides smoother and more consistent signals than the regular stochastic, especially in sideways or volatile markets.
When plotted beside a standard stochastic, you’ll notice CSO avoids many of the false reversals that clutter traditional readings.
Customization Options
Choice of smoothing method (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA).
Full control over each stochastic component’s parameters and weights.
Adjustable overbought/oversold levels and display preferences.
Option to enable or disable the on-chart table and zone fills.
Note
This indicator is shared purely for educational and research purposes. It is not financial advice and should not be treated as a ready-made trading system.
I encourage you to experiment with different parameter values (periods, weights, smoothing) to explore how the behavior changes and to learn from the results.
💸 Monetary Momentum Oscillator (MMO)Monetary Momentum Oscillator (MMO)
The Monetary Momentum Oscillator (MMO) measures the rate of change in the money supply (like M2, Fed Balance Sheet, or similar macro series) and applies a momentum-based RSI calculation to visualize liquidity acceleration and deceleration.
💡 Purpose:
MMO is designed for macro-level analysis — it identifies when monetary expansion is overheating (potential inflation or risk-on conditions) and when contraction is cooling off (liquidity tightening or deflationary stress).
📊 How It Works:
Calculates the percentage change of the selected data source over a chosen lookback period.
Applies an RSI transformation to visualize momentum extremes.
Overlays signal smoothing and highlights overheat/cooldown zones.
🔍 Interpretation:
Above 70 → Liquidity acceleration / overheating (potential inflationary impulse).
Below 30 → Liquidity deceleration / contraction (risk-off, tightening).
Crossovers → Momentum shifts that often precede macro trend reversals in risk assets.
⚙️ Best Used On:
Macroeconomic series such as M2SL, M2V, WALCL, or custom liquidity indexes.
Long-term charts (weekly or monthly) for detecting major monetary regime transitions.
🧩 Core Idea:
Liquidity is the real market engine — this oscillator quantifies its pulse.
Directional Indicator Crossovers v1[JopAlgo]Directional Indicator Crossovers v1 — the classic DMI, made clearer and easier to act on
We'd like to introduce you to a more relaxed, streamlined version of DI. While it may not seem like it at first glance, we've taken the D+/D- method as a starting point and developed our own version of this indicator: two lines, a smooth green/red field indicating who's in control, and clear crossover alerts for a flip. We deliberately chose the step line representation because it closely matches the candlestick patterns on the chart. Designed to help you react faster—without clutter.
What you’ll see
+DI (green) and −DI (red) using classic Wilder smoothing.
A soft control zone between the lines: green when +DI dominates, red when −DI dominates.
Crossover alerts (no labels, no background flooding)—just the turning points.
Why this helps
Instant bias: the shaded field tells you who’s in control without reading values.
Cleaner execution: minimal visuals keep focus on the handoff (+DI↔−DI) and your price levels.
Actionable by design: built-in alerts fire right at the flip to route into your workflow.
How to read it
Bias: Green zone → buyers lead. Red zone → sellers lead.
Trigger: Consider entries on the DI crossover that aligns with your higher-timeframe context (trend, S/R, OB).
Patience in chop: If flips are frequent in tight ranges, wait for sustained zone dominance or confirm on a higher TF.
Exit/flip: Opposite crossover or a clear loss of dominance.
Settings that matter
DI Length (default 14): Higher = calmer, fewer flips. Lower = faster, more signals.
Visuals: Keep the control zone on for quick reads; hide crossover marks if you prefer pure lines.
Alerts: Enable bullish and bearish DI cross alerts; connect to notifications or webhooks as needed.
Starter presets
Intraday (15m–1H): DI Length 12–14 for quicker handoffs.
Swing (4H–1D): DI Length 14–20 for cleaner signals.
Choppy assets: Nudge length higher to dampen noise.
Where it shines (and limits)
Best: Liquid markets (crypto majors, indices, large caps) where handoffs matter.
Works elsewhere: Still useful on slower pairs; extend length for stability.
Limit: Frequent flips in low-range sessions—pair with HTF bias or structure.
Alerts included
Bullish DI Crossover: +DI crosses above −DI.
Bearish DI Crossover: −DI crosses above +DI.

Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI [BOSWaves]Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI – Next-Level Momentum Smoothing & Signal Precision
Overview
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI transforms the classic Relative Strength Index into a robust, lag-minimized momentum oscillator through Holt-Winters triple exponential smoothing. By modeling the level, trend, and cyclical behavior of the RSI series, this indicator delivers smoother, more responsive signals that highlight overbought/oversold conditions, momentum shifts, and high-conviction trading setups without cluttering the chart with noise.
Unlike traditional RSI, which reacts to historical data and produces frequent whipsaws, the Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI filters transient price fluctuations, enabling traders to detect emerging momentum and potential reversal zones earlier.
Theoretical Foundation
The traditional RSI measures relative strength by comparing average gains and losses, but suffers from:
Lag in trend recognition : Signals often arrive after momentum has shifted.
Noise sensitivity : High-frequency price movements generate unreliable crossovers.
Limited insight into structural market shifts : Standard RSI cannot contextualize cyclical or momentum patterns.
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI addresses these limitations by applying triple exponential smoothing directly to the RSI series. This decomposes the series into:
Level (Lₜ) : Represents the smoothed central tendency of RSI.
Trend (Tₜ) : Captures rate-of-change in smoothed momentum.
Seasonal Component (Sₜ) : Models short-term cyclical deviations in momentum.
By incorporating these elements, the oscillator produces smoothed RSI values that react faster to emerging trends while suppressing erratic noise. Its internal forecast is mathematical, influencing the smoothed RSI output and signals, rather than being directly plotted.
How It Works
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI builds its signal framework through several layers:
1. Base RSI Calculation
Computes standard RSI over the selected period as the primary momentum input.
2. Triple Exponential Smoothing (Holt-Winters)
The RSI is smoothed recursively to extract underlying momentum structure:
Level, trend, and seasonal components are combined to produce a smoothed RSI.
This internal smoothing reduces lag and enhances signal reliability.
3. Momentum Analysis
Short-term momentum shifts are tracked via a moving average of the smoothed RSI, highlighting acceleration or deceleration in directional strength.
4. Volume Confirmation (Optional)
Buy/sell signals can be filtered through a configurable volume threshold, ensuring only high-conviction moves trigger alerts.
5. Visual Output
Colored Candles : Represent overbought (red), oversold (green), or neutral (yellow) conditions.
Oscillator Panel : Plots the smoothed RSI with dynamic color coding for immediate trend context.
Signals : Triangular markers indicate bullish or bearish setups, with stronger signals flagged in extreme zones.
Interpretation
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI provides a multi-dimensional perspective on price action:
Trend Strength : Smoothed RSI slope and color coding reflect the direction and momentum intensity.
Momentum Shifts : Rapid changes in the smoothed RSI indicate emerging strength or weakness.
Overbought/Oversold Zones : Highlight areas where price is stretched relative to recent momentum.
High-Conviction Signals : Combined with volume filtering, markers indicate optimal entries/exits.
Cycle Awareness : Smoothing reveals structural patterns, helping traders avoid reacting to noise.
By combining these elements, traders gain early insight into market structure and momentum without relying on raw, lag-prone RSI data.
Strategy Integration
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI can be applied across trading styles:
Trend Following
Enter when RSI is aligned with price momentum and color-coded signals confirm trend direction.
Strong slope in the smoothed RSI signals trend continuation.
Reversal Trading
Look for RSI extremes with momentum shifts and strong signal markers.
Compression in oscillator values often precedes reversal setups.
Breakout Detection
Oscillator flattening in neutral zones followed by directional expansion indicates potential breakout conditions.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Higher timeframes provide directional bias; lower timeframes refine entry timing using smoothed RSI dynamics.
Technical Implementation Details
Input Source : Close, open, high, low, or price.
Smoothing : Holt-Winters triple exponential smoothing applied to RSI.
Parameters :
Level (α) : Controls smoothing of RSI.
Trend (β) : Adjusts responsiveness to momentum changes.
Seasonal Length : Defines cycles for short-term adjustments.
Delta Smoothing : Reduces choppiness in smoothed RSI difference.
Outputs :
Smoothed RSI
Colored candles and oscillator panel
Buy/Sell signal markers (with optional strength filtering)
Volume Filtering : Optional threshold to confirm signals.
Optimal Application Parameters
Asset-Specific Guidance:
Forex : Use moderate smoothing (α, β) to capture medium-term momentum swings while filtering minor price noise. Works best when combined with volume or volatility filters.
Equities : Balance responsiveness and smoothness to identify sustained sector momentum or rotational shifts; ideal for capturing clean directional transitions.
Cryptocurrency : Increase smoothing parameters slightly to stabilize RSI during extreme volatility; optional volume confirmation can help filter false signals.
Futures/Indices : Lower smoothing sensitivity emphasizes macro momentum and structural trend durability over short-term fluctuations.
Timeframe Optimization:
Scalping (1-5m) : Use higher sensitivity (lower smoothing factors) to react quickly to micro-momentum reversals.
Intraday (15m-1h) : Balance smoothing and responsiveness for detecting short-term acceleration and exhaustion zones.
Swing (4h-Daily) : Apply moderate smoothing to reveal underlying directional persistence and cyclical reversals.
Position (Daily-Weekly) : Use stronger smoothing to isolate dominant momentum trends and filter temporary pullbacks.
Integration Guidelines
Combine with trend filters (EMAs, SuperSmoother MA, ATR-based tools) for confirmation.
Use volume and signal strength markers to filter low-conviction trades.
Slope, color, and signal alignment can guide entry, stop placement, and scaling.

AO Divergence RCT PRO//@description=This indicator, AO Divergence Pro, is a powerful tool designed to automatically identify and plot both classic and hidden divergences on the Awesome Oscillator (AO). Divergences occur when the price action and the oscillator move in opposite directions, often signaling a potential shift in market momentum.
//
// --- Key Features ---
// 1. Regular (Classic) Divergence Detection: This feature identifies potential trend reversals.
// - A **Bullish Regular Divergence** (labeled 'R') is found when the price makes a lower low, but the AO makes a higher low. This suggests that downward momentum is weakening and a reversal to the upside may be imminent.
// - A **Bearish Regular Divergence** (labeled 'R') is found when the price makes a higher high, but the AO makes a lower high. This suggests that upward momentum is fading and a reversal to the downside may be coming.
//
// 2. Hidden Divergence Detection: This feature identifies potential trend continuations.
// - A **Bullish Hidden Divergence** (labeled 'H') is found when the price makes a higher low, but the AO makes a lower low. This often occurs during a pullback in an uptrend, suggesting the trend is likely to resume.
// - A **Bearish Hidden Divergence** (labeled 'H') is found when the price makes a lower high, but the AO makes a higher high. This often occurs during a rally in a downtrend, suggesting the downtrend is likely to continue.
//
// 3. Full Customization: The indicator allows you to toggle the display of each type of divergence (Bullish/Bearish, Regular/Hidden) independently. You can also adjust the pivot detection sensitivity and the time range between divergences to filter signals according to your trading style.
//
// --- How to Use ---
// 1. **Identify Reversals:** Look for the 'R' labels on the chart. A bullish 'R' in a downtrend is a strong signal to consider a long position. A bearish 'R' in an uptrend is a signal to consider a short position.
// 2. **Confirm Continuations:** Look for the 'H' labels. A bullish 'H' during an uptrend pullback can be a good opportunity to add to your position. A bearish 'H' during a downtrend rally can be a signal to enter a short trade.
// 3. **Filter Signals:** Use the settings panel to control the number of signals. For example, increasing the "Min Bars Between" will show fewer, but potentially more reliable, divergences.
