Introduction:
The CCI-based dynamic support and resistance is a "Bands and Channels" kind of indicator consisting an upper and lower band. This is a strategy which uses CCI-based (Made by me) indicator to execute trades.
SL and TP are calculated based on max ATR during last selected time period. You can edit strategy settings using "Ksl", "Ktp" and the other button for time period. “KSL” and “KTP” are 2.5 and 5 by default.
Bands are calculated regarding CCI previous high and low pivot. CCI length, right pivot length and left pivot length are 50.
A dynamic support and resistance has been calculated using last upper-cci minus a buffer and last lower-cci plus the buffer. The buffer is 10.
If "Trend matter?" button is on you can detect trend by color of the upper and lower line. Green is bullish and red is bearish! "Trend matter?" is on.
The "show mid?" button makes mid line visible, which is average of upper and lower lines, visible. The button is not active by default.
Reaction to the support could be a buy signal while a reaction to the resistance could interpreted as a sell signal.
How this strategy work?
Donald Lambert, a technical analyst, created the CCI, or Commodity Channel Index, which he first published in 1980. CCI is calculated regarding CCI can be used both as trend-detector or an oscillator. As an oscillator most traders believe in static predefined levels. Overbought and oversold candles which are clear in the chart could be used as sell and buy signals.
During my trading career I’ve noticed that there might be some reversal points for the CCI. I believe CCI could have to potential to reverse more from lately reversal point. Of course, just like other trading strategies we are talking about probabilities. We do not expect a win trade each time.
On price chart
Now this the question! What price should the instrument reach that CCI turns to be equal to our reversing aim for CCI? Imagine we have found last important bearish reversal of CCI in 200. Now, if we need the CCI to be 200 what price should we wait for?
How to calculate?
This is the CCI formula:
CCI = (Typical Price - SMA of TP) / (0.015 x Mean Deviation)
Where, Typical Price (TP) = (High + Low + Close)/3
For probable reversing points, high and low pivots of 50 bars have been used.
So we do have an Upper CCI and a Lower CCI. They are valid until the next pivot is available.
By relocating factors in CCI formula you can reach the “Typical Price”.
“
Typical Price = CCI (0.015 * Mean Deviation) + SMA of TP
So we could have a Support or Resistance by replacing CCI with Upper and Lower CCI.
A buy signal is valid if the trend is bullish (or “trend matter” is off) and lowest low of last 2 candles is lower than support and close is greater than both support and open.
A Sell signal is produced in opposite situation.
There are 2+1 options for trend!
Trend matter box is on by default, which means we’ll just open trades in direction of the trend. It’s available to turn it off.
Other 2 options are cross and slope. Cross calculated by comparing fast SMA and slow SMA. The slope one differentiate slow SMA to last “n” one.
Considering last day and today highest ATR as the ATR to calculating SL and TP is our unique technique.
M-oscillator
Smart Money Oscillator [ChartPrime]The "Smart Money Oscillator " is a premium and discount zone oscillator with BOS and CHoCH built in for further analysis of price action. This indicator works by first determining the the premium and discount zones by using pivot points and high/lows. The top of this oscillator represents the current premium zone while the bottom half of this oscillator represents the discount zone. This oscillator functionally works like a stochastic oscillator with more sophisticated upper and lower bounds generated using smart money concept theories. We have included a moving average to allow the user to visualize the currant momentum in the oscillator. Another key feature we have included lagging divergences to help traders visualize potential reversal conditions.
Understanding the concepts of Premium and Discount zones, as well as Break of Structure (BoS) and Change of Character (CHoCH), is crucial for traders using the Smart Money Oscillator. These concepts are rooted in market structure analysis, which involves studying price levels and movements.
Premium Zone is where the price is considered to be relatively high or 'overbought'. In this zone, prices have risen significantly and may indicate that the asset is becoming overvalued, potentially leading to a reversal or slowdown in the upward trend.
The Discount Zone represents a 'discount' or 'oversold' area. Here, prices have fallen substantially, suggesting that the asset might be undervalued. This could be an indicator of a potential upward reversal or a pause in the downward trend.
Break of Structure (BoS) is about the continuation of a trend. In a bullish trend, a BoS is identified by the break of a recent higher high. In a bearish trend, it's the break of a recent Lower Low. BoS indicates that the trend is strong and likely to continue in its current direction. It's a sign of strength in the prevailing trend, whether up or down.
Change of Character (CHoCH) is an indication of a potential end to a trend. It occurs when there's a significant change in the market's behavior, contradicting the current trend. For example, in an uptrend characterized by higher highs and higher lows, a CHoCH may occur if a new high is formed but then is followed by an impulsive move downwards. This suggests that the bullish trend may be weakening and a bearish reversal could be imminent. CHoCH is essentially a sign of trend exhaustion and potential reversal.
With each consecutive BoS, the signal line of the oscillator will deepen in color. This allows you to visually see the strength of the current trend. The maximum strength of the trend is found by keeping track of the maximum number of consecutive BoS's within a window of 10. This calculation excludes periods without any BoS's to allow for a more stable max.
Quick Update is a feature that implements a more aggressive algorithm to update the highs and lows. Instead of updating the pivot points exclusively to update the range levels, it will attempt to use the current historical highs/lows to update the bounds. This results in a more responsive range at the cost of stability. There are pros and cons for both settings. With Quick Update disabled, the indicator will allow for strong reversals to register without the indicator maxing out. With Quick Update enabled, the indicator will show shorter term extremes with the risk of the signal being pinned to the extremities during strong trends or large movements. With Quick Update disabled, the oscillator prioritizes stability, using a more historical perspective to set its bounds. When Quick Update is enabled, the oscillator becomes more responsive, adjusting its bounds rapidly to reflect the latest market movements.
The Scale Offset feature allows the indicator to break the boundaries of the oscillator. This can be useful when the market is breaking highs or lows allowing the user to identify extremities in price. With Scale Offset disabled the oscillator will always remain inside of the boundaries because the extremities will be updated instantly. When this feature is enabled it will update the boundaries one step behind instead of updating it instantly. This allows the user to more easily see overbought and oversold conditions at the cost of incurring a single bar lag to the boundaries. Generally this is a good idea as this behavior makes the oscillator more sensitive to recent price spikes or drops, reflecting sudden market movements more accurately. It accentuates the extremities of the market conditions, potentially offering a more aggressive analysis. The main trade-off with the Scale Offset feature is between sensitivity and potential overreaction. It offers a more immediate and exaggerated reflection of market conditions but might also lead to misinterpretations in certain scenarios, especially in highly volatile markets.
Divergence is used to predict potential trend reversals. It occurs when the price of an asset and the reading of an oscillator move in opposite directions. This discrepancy can signal a weakening of the current trend and possibly indicate a potential reversal.
Divergence doesn't always lead to a trend reversal, but it's a warning sign that the current trend might be weakening. Divergence can sometimes give false signals, particularly in strongly trending markets where the oscillator may remain in overbought or oversold conditions for extended periods. The lagging nature of using pivot points to calculate divergences means that all divergences are limited by the pivot look forward input. The upside of using a longer look forward is that the divergences will be more accurate. The obvious con here is that it will be more delayed and might be useless by the time it appears. Its recommended to use the built in divergences as a way to learn how these are formed so you can make your own in real time.
By default, the oscillator uses a smoothing of 3 to allow for a more price like behavior while still being rather smooth compared to raw price data. Conversely, you can increase this value to make this indicator behave smoother. Something to keep in mind is that the amount of delay from real time is equal to half of the smoothing period.
We have included a verity of alerts in this indicator. Here is a list of all of the available alerts: Bullish BOS, Bearish BOS, Bullish CHoCH, Bearish CHoCH, Bullish Divergence, Hidden Bullish Divergence, Bearish Divergence, Hidden Bearish Divergence, Cross Over Average, Cross Under Average.
Below are all of the inputs and their tooltips to get you started:
Settings:
Smoothing: Specifies the degree of smoothing applied to the oscillator. Higher values result in smoother but potentially less responsive signals.
Average Length: Sets the length of the moving average applied to the oscillator, affecting its sensitivity and smoothness.
Pivot Length: Specifies the forward-looking length for pivot points, affecting how the oscillator anticipates future price movements. This directly impacts the delay in finding a pivot.
Max Length: Sets the maximum length to consider for calculating the highest values in the oscillator.
Min Length: Defines the minimum length for calculating the lowest values in the oscillator.
Quick Update: Activates a faster update mode for the oscillator's extremities, which may result in less stable range boundaries.
Scale Offset: When enabled, delays updating minimum and maximum values to enhance signal directionality, allowing the signal to occasionally exceed normal bounds.
Candle Color: Enables coloring of candles based on the current directional signal of the oscillator.
Labels:
Enable BOS/CHoCH Labels: Activates the display of BOS (Break of Structure) and CHoCH (Change of Character) labels on the chart.
Visual Padding: Turns on additional visual padding at the top and bottom of the chart to accommodate labels. Determines the amount of visual padding added to the chart for label display.
Divergence:
Divergence Pivot: Defines the number of bars to the right of the pivot in divergence calculations, influencing the oscillator's responsiveness.
Divergence Pivot Forward: Directly impacts latency. Longer periods results in more accurate results at the sacrifice of delay.
Upper Range: Sets the upper range limit for divergence calculations, influencing the oscillator's sensitivity to larger trends.
Lower Range: Determines the lower range limit for divergence calculations, affecting the oscillator's sensitivity to shorter trends.
Symbol: Allows selection of the label style for divergence indicators, with options for text or symbolic representation.

CHoCH: Sets the color for bullish/bearish CHoCH (Change of Character) signals.
Premium/Discount: Determines the color for the premium/discount zone in the oscillator's visual representation.
Text Color: Sets the color for the text in BoS/CHoCH labels.
Regular Bullish: Defines the color used to represent regular bullish divergences.
Hidden Bullish: Specifies the color for hidden bullish divergences.
Regular Bearish: Determines the color for hidden bearish divergences.
Divergence Text Color: Specifies the color for the text in divergence labels.
Activity & Chop ScoreRelease Notes:
The Activity and Chop Score was designed to help traders quickly determine if a market is active and/or choppy (not moving with any urgency). Slow and chopping markets should be approached with caution or avoided.
How does it work? The Activity Score incorporates momentum and the linear regression. Momentum (change in price over time) is compared over a long and short time period. Active markets are when those are moving together. This is combined with a linear regression of the price to determine the Correlation Coefficient (r^2) to measure of trend strength. The score is a is the average of the two momentum values, normalized by the standard deviation, and scaled by the trend (r^2 value). Chop is defined as divergence between long and short momentum periods. The divergences (chop) are quantified with a Jaccard Similarity Score, normalized by the standard deviation, and averaged to create a score.
How can you use it? This indicator is best used on lower timeframes. Activity Scores Values below 1 are considered low and values over 2 are high. Avoid markets where the Activity Score is below 1. There is an alert threshold in the options. Pivots are worth paying attention too as well as they indicate the start and stop of a recent move. You can compare markets or assets with the Chop Score. You make chose to avoid those with higher Chop Score. The position of the two lines relative to each other are useful. Ideally, the Activity Score is higher than the Chop Score. As with any indicators, it should be used in combination with others that best suits your trading style.

Donchian Channels StrengthTL;DR - A different approach calculating strength based on Donchain channels
My approach calculating strength by using the difference between price and donchain average. It is possible to use the highest/lowest value of a given source (like close) or to use the highest high/lowest low (by using the option 'include wicks') for the strength calculation
I added multiple moving averages which can be used in the calculations incl. SMMA (RMA) which is used in RSI calculation and works best for me.
Usage is similar to RSI: DC Strength oscillates between 0 and 100. Low values (<20) indicate a bearish situation while high values (>80) indicate bullish ones. Center line (50) crossings can also indicate a possible trend change.
Ichimoku OscillatorFans of the Ichimoku cloud indicator may enjoy this lower study version.
It's all the exact same representation but the cloud is converted to an oscillation in histogram or classic cloud fill formats.
All of the original lines, except Kumo cloud lines, are provided but adjusted to be positionally accurate to the oscillation values.
The oscillation value is calculated simply by absolute subtraction of span a and b lines and as such become an additional width detection mechanism in what I consider to be a slightly cleaner display.
Since the entire cloud can be removed from the main chart, it's necessary to understand price location relative to the values which is calculated and displayed as the 'Price' plot. It is positionally accurate to the oscillation and cross signals can be observed.
My hope is that this serves as a foundation for others to create interesting Ichimoku lower study indicators, and to provide relief to traders looking for cleaner main charts.
I've done my best to ensure accuracy but if any issues are found please let me know.
Feedback and suggestions are welcome, enjoy.
Simple Neural Network Transformed RSI [QuantraSystems]Simple Neural Network Transformed RSI
Introduction
The Simple Neural Network Transformed RSI (ɴɴᴛ ʀsɪ) stands out as a formidable tool for traders who specialize in lower timeframe trading.
It is an innovative enhancement of the traditional RSI readings with simple neural network smoothing techniques.
This unique blend results in fairly accurate signals, tailored for swift market movements. The ɴɴᴛ ʀsɪ is particularly resistant to the usual market noise found in lower timeframes, ensuring a clearer view of short-term trends.
Furthermore, its diverse range of visualization options adds versatility, making it a valuable tool for traders seeking to capitalize on short-duration market dynamics.
Legend
In the Image you can see the BTCUSD 1D Chart with the ɴɴᴛ ʀsɪ in Trend Following Mode to display the current trend. This is visualized with the barcoloring.
Its Overbought and Oversold zones start at 50% and end at 100% of the selected Standard Deviation (default σ = 2), which can indicate extremely rare situations which can lead to either a softening momentum in the trend or even a mean reversion situation.
Here you can also see the original Indicator line and the Heikin Ashi transformed Indicator bars - more on that now.
Notes
Quantra Standard Value Contents:
To draw out all the information from the indicator calculation we have added a Heikin-Ashi (HA) Candle Visualization.
This HA transformation smoothens out the indicator values and gives a more informative look into Momentum and Trend of the Indicator itself.
This allows early entries and exits by observing the HA transformed Indicator values.
To diversify, different visualization options are available, either a classic line, HA transformed or Hybrid, which contains both of the previous.
To make Quantra's Indicators as useful and versatile as possible we have created options
to change the barcoloring and thus the derived signal from the indicator based on different modes.
Option to choose different Modes:
Trend Following (Indicator above mid line counts as uptrend, below is downtrend)
Extremities (Everything going beyond the Deviation Bands in a Mean Reversion manner is highlighted)
Candles (Color of HA candles as barcolor)
Reversion (HA ONLY) (Reversion Signals via the triangles if HA candles change state outside of the Deviation Bands)
- Reversion Signals are indicated by the triangles in the Heikin-Ashi or Hybrid visualization when the HA Candles revert
from downwards to upwards or the other way around OUTSIDE of the SD Bands.
Depending on the Indicator they signal OB/OS areas and can either work as high probability entries and exits for Mean Reversion trades or
indicate Momentum slow downs and potential ranges.
Please use another indicator to confirm this.
Case Study
To effectively utilize the NNT-RSI, traders should know their style and familiarize themselves with the available options.
As stated above, you have multiple modes available that you can combine as you need and see fit.
In the given example mostly only the mode was used in an isolated fashion.
Trend Following:
Purely relied on State Change - Midline crossover
Could be combined with Momentum or Reversion analysis for better entries/exits.
Extremities:
Ideal entry/exit is in the accordingly colored OS/OB Area, the Reversion signaled the latest possible entry/exit.
HA Candles:
Specifically applicable for strong trends. Powerful and fast tool.
Can whip if used as sole condition.
Reversions:
Shows the single entry and exit bars which have a positive expected value outcome.
Can also be used as confirmation or as last signal.
Please note that we always advise to find more confluence by additional indicators.
Traders are encouraged to test and determine the most suitable settings for their specific trading strategies and timeframes.
In the showcased trades the default settings were used.
Methodology
The Simple Neural Network Transformed RSI uses a simple neural network logic to process RSI values, smoothing them for more accurate trend analysis.
This is achieved through a linear combination of RSI values over a specified input length, weighted evenly to produce a neural network output.
// Simple neural network logic (linear combination with weighted aggregation)
var float inputs = array.new_float(nnLength, na)
for i = 0 to nnLength - 1
array.set(inputs, i, rsi1 )
nnOutput = 0.0
for i = 0 to nnLength - 1
nnOutput := nnOutput + array.get(inputs, i) * (1 / nnLength)
nnOutput
This output is then compared against a standard or dynamic mean line to generate trend following signals.
Mean = ta.sma(nnOutput, sdLook)
cross = useMean? 50 : Mean
The indicator also incorporates Heikin Ashi candlestick calculations to provide additional insights into market dynamics, such as trend strength and potential reversals.
// Calculate Heikin Ashi representation
ha = ha(
na(nnOutput ) ? nnOutput : nnOutput ,
math.max(nnOutput, nnOutput ),
math.min(nnOutput, nnOutput ),
nnOutput)
Standard deviation bands are used to create dynamic overbought and oversold zones, further enhancing the tool's analytical capabilities.
// Calculate Dynamic OB/OS Zones
stdv_bands(_src, _length, _mult) =>
float basis = ta.sma(_src, _length)
float dev = _mult * ta.stdev(_src, _length)
= stdv_bands(nnOutput, sdLook,sdMult/2)
= stdv_bands(nnOutput, sdLook, sdMult)
The Standard Deviation bands take defined parameters from the user, in this case sigma of ideally between 2 to 3,
to help the indicator detect extremely improbable conditions and thus take an inversely probable signal from it to forward to the user.
The parameter settings and also the visualizations allow for ample customizations by the trader.

MCG - Meme Coin Gains [Logue]Meme Coin Gains. Investor preference for meme coin trading may signal irrational exuberance in the crypto market. If a large spike in meme coin gains is observed, a top may be near. Therefore, the gains of the most popular meme coins (DOGE, SHIB, SATS, ORDI, BONK, PEPE, and FLOKI) were averaged together in this indicator to help indicate potential mania phases, which may signal nearing of a top. Two simple moving averages of the meme coin gains are used to smooth the data and help visualize changes in trend. In back testing, I found a 10-day "fast" sma and a 20-day "slow" sma of the meme coin gains works well to signal tops and bottoms when extreme values of this indicator are reached.
Meme coins were not traded heavily prior to 2020. Therefore, there is only one cycle to test at the time of initial publication. Also, the meme coin space moves fast, so more meme coins may need to be added later. Also, once a meme coin has finished its mania phase where everyone and their mother has heard of it, it doesn't seem to run again (at least with the data up until time of publication). Therefore, the value of this indicator may not be great unless it is updated frequently.
The two moving averages are plotted. For the indicator, top and bottom "slow" sma trigger lines are plotted. The sma trigger line and the periods (daily) of the moving averages can be modified to your own preferences. The "slow" sma going above or below the trigger lines will print a different background color. Plot on a linear scale if you want to view this as similar to an RSI-type indicator. Plot on a log scale if you want to view as similar to a stochastic RSI.
Use this indicator at your own risk. I make no claims as to its accuracy in forecasting future trend changes of Bitcoin or the crypto market.
BDC - Bitcoin (BTC) Dominance Change [Logue]Bitcoin Dominance Change. Interesting things tend to happen when the Bitcoin dominance increases or decreases rapidly. Perhaps because there is overexuberance in the market in either BTC or the alts. In back testing, I found a rapid 13-day change in dominance indicates interesting switches in the BTC trends. Prior to 2019, the indicator doesn't work as well to signal trend shifts (i.e., local tops and bottoms) likely based on very few coins making up the crypto market.
The BTC dominance change is calculated as a percentage change of the daily dominance. You are able to change the upper bound, lower bound, and the period (daily) of the indicator to your own preferences. The indicator going above the upper bound or below the lower bound will trigger a different background color.
Use this indicator at your own risk. I make no claims as to its accuracy in forecasting future trend changes of Bitcoin.
Advanced Volatility Oscillator with SignalsTitle: Advanced Volatility Oscillator with Signals (AVO-S)
In-Depth Description:
Introduction:
The Advanced Volatility Oscillator with Signals (AVO-S) is designed to offer traders a nuanced understanding of market volatility, combining traditional concepts with innovative visual aids and signal interpretation. This indicator is tailored for diverse financial markets, helping to identify potential trend reversals and momentum shifts.
Calculation and Methodology:
Spike Calculation: The core of AVO-S is the 'spike', calculated as the difference between the closing and opening prices (spike = close - open). This measure provides a straightforward gauge of intra-period volatility.
Standard Deviation: The indicator employs standard deviation to assess the variability of the 'spike', offering a dynamic threshold for understanding market extremities (stdDev = stdev(spike, length)).
Colored Columns: These columns visually represent the 'spike'. Their color changes based on the spike’s value relative to the zero line and the standard deviation threshold, providing an immediate visual cue of market state.
Blue Columns: Indicate moderate positive movement when the spike is above zero but below the standard deviation.
Green and Red Columns: Suggest stronger bullish (above standard deviation) and bearish (below negative standard deviation) movements, respectively.
Bullish and Bearish Signals:
The indicator generates signals based on the relationship between the 'spike' and its standard deviation.
Bullish Signals: Shown as upward triangles, these are formed when the 'spike' crosses above the standard deviation, indicating potential upward momentum.
Bearish Signals: Represented by downward triangles, these signals are generated when the 'spike' falls below the negative standard deviation, hinting at potential downward trends.
Usage and Application:
Traders can use the colored columns to quickly assess market sentiment and volatility.
The bullish and bearish signals serve as potential indicators for market entry or exit points, or for further analysis in conjunction with other technical tools.
Inspiration and Credits:
Inspired by Veryfid's original Volatility Oscillator, the AVO-S refines and builds upon these ideas to provide a comprehensive and user-friendly tool for market analysis. This indicator is a testament to the continuous evolution of technical analysis tools in the trading community.
Donchian Channels %I enjoy Donchian Channels for identifying trends. However, I hate having them on my chart. They are next to impossible to interpret at a glance. This script converts DCs to a % making a useful oscillator. The horizontal lines on the chart correspond to the Fib retracements below 50%. There are many ways to trade using this script and it works on any time frame. Moving average crosses are worth your attention, particularly, the 34 period MA (purple line). Enjoy and happy trading.
Fusion: Aroon trend matching with dual thresholds 2Same as previous one, just making the code publicly available.
You set an upper and lower threshold and when both are met a direction is determined.
I use this primarily as a confirmation indicator of a trend.
The addition to the normal Aroon is simply the threshold settings and the visuals. There is even an option to see the length you are using which I find useful when the length is long, say 40+ so you don't forget that it's considerably longer than how it's normally used.
Additionally it defaults to the normal colors we are familar with for up and down (long/short) but you can choose Aroon colors if you wish with just a checkbox.
The length is certainly not optimized so set to whatever suits your needs. The Aroon default is 14, I used 6 for one particular case so that's what it ended up being for this indicator.
I default to a dark theme so if you are using a light theme you may need to change some brightness settings.
Finally, if you find value please do make a comment, give a thumbs up etc.
Enjoy and good luck!
Amazing Oscillator (AO) [Algoalpha]Description:
Introducing the Amazing Oscillator indicator by Algoalpha, a versatile tool designed to help traders identify potential trend shifts and market turning points. This indicator combines the power of the Awesome Oscillator (AO) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to create a new indicator that provides valuable insights into market momentum and potential trade opportunities.
Key Features:
Customizable Parameters: The indicator allows you to customize the period of the RSI calculations to fine-tune the indicator's responsiveness.
Visual Clarity: The indicator uses user-defined colors to visually represent upward and downward movements. You can select your preferred colors for both bullish and bearish signals, making it easy to spot potential trade setups.
AO and RSI Integration: The script combines the AO and RSI indicators to provide a comprehensive view of market conditions. The RSI is applied to the AO, which results in a standardized as well as a less noisy version of the Awesome Oscillator. This makes the indicator capable of pointing out overbought or oversold conditions as well as giving fewer false signals
Signal Plots: The indicator plots key levels on the chart, including the RSI threshold(Shifted down by 50) at 30 and -30. These levels are often used by traders to identify potential trend reversal points.
Signal Alerts: For added convenience, the indicator includes "x" markers to signal potential buy (green "x") and sell (red "x") opportunities based on RSI crossovers with the -30 and 30 levels. These alerts can help traders quickly identify potential entry and exit points.
Trend Flow Profile [AlgoAlpha]Description:
The "Trend Flow Profile" indicator is a powerful tool designed to analyze and interpret the underlying trends and reversals in a financial market. It combines the concepts of Order Flow and Rate of Change (ROC) to provide valuable insights into market dynamics, momentum, and potential trade opportunities. By integrating these two components, the indicator offers a comprehensive view of market sentiment and price movements, facilitating informed trading decisions.
Rationale:
The combination of Order Flow and ROC in the "Trend Flow Profile" indicator stems from the recognition that both factors play critical roles in understanding market behavior. Order Flow represents the net buying or selling pressure in the market, while ROC measures the rate at which prices change. By merging these elements, the indicator captures the interplay between market participants' actions and the momentum of price movements, enabling traders to identify trends, spot reversals, and gauge the strength of price acceleration or deceleration.
Calculation:
The Order Flow component is computed by summing the volume when prices move up and subtracting the volume when prices move down. This cumulative measure reflects the overall order imbalance in the market, providing insights into the dominant buying or selling pressure.
The ROC component calculates the percentage change in price over a given period. It compares the current price to a previous price and expresses the change as a percentage. This measurement indicates the velocity and direction of price movement, allowing traders to assess the market's momentum.
How to Use It?
The "Trend Flow Profile" indicator offers valuable information to traders for making informed trading decisions. It enables the identification of underlying trends and potential reversals, providing a comprehensive view of market sentiment and momentum. Here are some key ways to utilize the indicator:
Spotting Trends: The indicator helps identify the prevailing market trend, whether bullish or bearish. A consistent positive (green) histogram indicates a strong uptrend, while a consistent negative (red) histogram suggests a robust downtrend.
Reversal Signals: Reversal patterns can be identified when the histogram changes color, transitioning from positive to negative (or vice versa). These reversals can signify potential turning points in the market, highlighting opportunities for counter-trend trades.
Momentum Assessment: By observing the width and intensity of the histogram, traders can assess the acceleration or deceleration of price momentum. A wider histogram suggests strong momentum, while a narrower histogram indicates a potential slowdown.
Utility:
The "Trend Flow Profile" indicator serves as a valuable tool for traders, providing several benefits. Traders can easily identify the prevailing market trend, enabling them to align their trading strategies with the dominant direction of the market. The indicator also helps spot potential reversals, allowing traders to anticipate market turning points and capture counter-trend opportunities. Additionally, the green and red histogram colors provide visual cues to determine the optimal duration of a long or short position. Following the green histogram signals when in a long position and the red histogram signals when in a short position can assist traders in managing their trades effectively. Moreover, the width and intensity of the histogram offer insights into the acceleration or deceleration of momentum. Traders can gauge the strength of price movements and adjust their trading strategies accordingly.

The "Bollinger Bands Percentile (BBPct) + STD Channels" mean reversion indicator, developed by AlgoApha, is a technical analysis tool designed to analyze price positions using Bollinger Bands and Standard Deviation Channels (STDC). The combination of these two indicators reinforces a stronger reversal signal. BBPct calculates the percentile rank of the price's standard deviation relative to a specified lookback period. Standard deviation channels operate by utilizing a moving average as the central line, with upper and lower lines equidistant from the average based on the market's volatility, helping to identify potential price boundaries and deviations.
How it Works:
The BBPct indicator utilizes Bollinger Bands, which consist of a moving average (basis) and upper and lower bands based on a specified standard deviation multiplier. By default, it uses a 20-period moving average and a standard deviation multiplier of 2. The upper band is calculated by adding the basis to the standard deviation multiplied by the multiplier, while the lower band is calculated by subtracting the same value. The BBPct indicator calculates the position of the current price between the lower and upper Bollinger Bands as a percentile value. It determines this position by comparing the price's distance from the lower band to the overall range between the upper and lower bands. A value of 0 indicates that the price is at the lower band, while a value of 100 indicates that the price is at the upper band. The indicator also includes an optional Bollinger Band standard deviation percentage (%Stdev) histogram, representing the deviation of the current price from the moving average as a percentage of the price itself.
Standard deviation channels, also known as volatility channels, aid in identifying potential buying and selling opportunities while minimizing unfavorable trades. These channels are constructed by two lines that run parallel to a moving average. The separation between these lines is determined by the market's volatility, represented by standard deviation. By designating upper and lower channel lines, the channels demarcate the borders between typical and atypical price movements. Consequently, when the market's price falls below the lower channel line, it suggests undervaluation, whereas prices surpassing the upper channel line indicate overvaluation.
Signals
The chart displays potential reversal points through the use of red and green arrows. A red arrow indicates a potential bearish retracement, signaling a possible downward movement, while a green arrow represents a potential pullback to the positive, suggesting a potential upward movement. These signals are generated only when both the BBPct (Bollinger Bands Percentage) and the STDC (Standard Deviation Channel) indicators align with bullish or bearish conditions. Consequently, traders might consider opening long positions when the green arrow appears and short positions when the red arrow is plotted.
Usage:
This indicator can be utilized by traders and investors to effectively identify pullbacks, reversals, and mean regression, thereby enhancing their trading opportunities. Notably, extreme values of the BBPct, such as below -5 or above 105, indicate oversold or overbought conditions, respectively. Moreover, the presence of extreme STDC zones occurs when prices fall below the lower channel line or cross above the upper channel line. Traders can leverage this information as a mean reversion tool by identifying instances of peak overbought and oversold values. These distinctive characteristics facilitate the identification of potential entry and exit points, thus augmenting trading decisions and enhancing market analysis.
The indicator's parameters, such as the length of the moving average, the data source, and the standard deviation multiplier, can be customized to align with individual trading strategies and preferences.
Originality:
The BBPct + STDC indicator, developed by AlgoAlpha, is an original implementation that combines the calculation of Bollinger Bands, percentile ranking, the %Stdev histogram and the STDC. While it shares some similarities with the Bollinger Bands %B indicator, the BBPct indicator introduces additional elements and customization options tailored to AlgoAlpha's methodology. The script is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, granting users the freedom to utilize and modify it while adhering to the license terms.
Technical Candle Alerts [SS]Releasing this fun little project indicator.
What is it?
The Technical Candle Alert indicator provides alerts based on multiple underlying technicals, including MFI, RSI, Stochastics, Z-Score, Pivot points and the EMA 50 and EMA 200 Death and Golden Cross.
What does it do?
The indicator looks back over a designated timeframe to look for max and min values of technicals, as well as track the EMA200 and EMA50.
When a candle approaches a previous max zone, pivot point or there is a death or golden cross, the indicator will signal on the candle that has triggered this event. Then you, as the trader, can determine whether you want to listen to the signal or ignore it.
How Does it Work?
The indicator is set to default and generally accepted settings for technicals, however you can modify them as you prefer.
The indicator is also programmed to identify the strongest trend period and set that as the lookback length. The theory is, you want to look at max and min technicals as well as pivot points in a recent area of a strong trend. However, if you want to over-ride the auto trend identification, you can simply unselect "Autotrend" and put in your desired manual lookback length.
The indicator will then keep track of max values for the various technicals and present you with alerts directly over the candle when a Max or Min value is triggered, or a pivot point is entered, etc.
Here are some examples:
Golden Cross:
Death Cross:
Previous Pivot Points:
Various Alerts:
Customization:
You can customize which alerts you want to turn off and on.
As well, there is a signal delay setting (wait setting). This prevents repeated, unnecessary signaling of the same signal. The default wait time is 5 signals, however you can adjust based on your desired tolerance. If you want it to always signal, adjust it to 0.
As indicated before, you can also adjust all of the technicals and the pivot bars for high and low pivots and you can manually set your lookback length.
That is the indicator in a nutshell, let me know if you have any questions that may not have been covered in the description. Its pretty straight forward once you play around with it.
Safe trades everyone and thanks for checking this out!

Chaos CypherOverview
Technically a smooth linear rate transformation, the "Chaos Cypher" drew some inspiration from the principles of Markov and chaos. Aside from price action, this combination provides a different lens through which to observe and interpret market movements. Markov models are based on the principle that future states depend only on the current state, not on the sequence of events that preceded it. Chaos theory deals with systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions, a concept popularly referred to as the butterfly effect.
Efficient with Minimal Data: Designed to perform efficiently, the CC indicator is particularly useful in situations regardless of extensive historical data, except for obvious back testing, while still providing strength at identifying potential overbought/oversold zones and critical divergences.
Simplified Momentum Analysis: With further inspiration from the triple smoothed exponential rate, the CC actually uses linear regression for its calculations. This approach allows for a clear and more straightforward identification of deviations in momentum. The smoothing helps allow it to provide details while still operating at a fast pace due to the regression speed.
Adaptable to Various Timeframes: The transformation calculation then employed effectively narrows its scope in relation to the pace, enhancing its applicability across multiple timeframes and periods. This flexibility makes it a versatile tool suitable for various strategies and market conditions.
Fisher Transform Style Presentation: The indicator is presented in a style reminiscent of the Fisher Transform. However, this method of the script recalculates based on every individual dataset. To maintain efficiency, the adjustable length only applies to the regression rate.
The Chaos Cypher when compared to the Fisher Transform
Inversion Option for Leads: Lastly, an intriguing find when testing this script is the potential of the inversion option. This aspect proved particularly useful when searching for pullbacks on a trending market.
Conclusion
This indicator is designed to be forward-thinking and attempts to combine theoretical concepts with practicality. It has the ability to work with minimal data, adapt to various timeframes, and provide clear views of market movements. It back tested very well even when unrealistically used as a sole instrument.
"Two states differing by imperceptible amounts may eventually evolve into two considerably different states ... If, then, there is any error whatever in observing the present state—and in any real system such errors seem inevitable—an acceptable prediction of an instantaneous state in the distant future may well be impossible....In view of the inevitable inaccuracy and incompleteness of weather observations, precise very-long-range forecasting would seem to be nonexistent." -Edward Norton Lorenz
Blockunity Regime Monitoring (BRM)Efficiently analyze market conditions and detect overheating zones.
Regime Monitoring (BRM) is here to help you analyze the behavior of financial markets. The oscillator allows you to observe when an asset’s trend is likely to reverse. The trend is also given by the indicator, as is the phase the market is in (trending or congested). The BRM also provides the state of the Choppiness Index, indicating whether or not the asset is about to enter a more volatile phase.
The Idea
The goal is to provide the community with a comprehensive tool for tracking market conditions, with a visual approach to identifying overheating zones.
How to Use
This tool consists of 3 main components:
An oscillator, which we describe in detail below.
Bar color to transcribe oscillator information directly onto the graph. To activate Bar Color, make sure the first option is checked in the settings. You must also uncheck "Borders" and "Wick" in your Chart Settings.
A panel that summarizes the status of various indicator information.
Elements
The Regime Monitoring oscillator
The oscillator provides several information points. First, it gives the market trend of the asset:
Green: Bullish trend.
Red: Bearish trend.
Blue: Contested trend.
It then indicates areas of overheating, where it is considered statistically probable that we will see a change in trend dynamics. These moments are shown in yellow.
This market trend is also indicated in the table.
If you see that the oscillator is above or below these limits, but not yellow, this is because we use a Choppiness Index to filter this information.
The "Enable Choppiness Index Filter" is enabled by default in the settings. So, if the Chop is discharged (under 38.2), then the oscillator's overheating state is ignored.
You can see the difference in the images below, the first with the filter and the other without:
Market Phase
We use a Vertical Horizontal Filter (VHF) to define the market phase the asset is in. This phase can have two values:
Trending: Assets evolve within a trend.
Congestion: The asset is in a moment of congestion.
Chop State
Visualize the Choppiness Index, indicating whether an asset is gearing up to enter a phase of increased volatility. It can be:
Charged: Chop is considered to indicate to be entering a stable phase.
Neutral: Chop is neutral and does not provide any specific information.
Discharged: Chop is considered to indicate a continuation of the trend.
In addition, with the "Show Choppiness Index" option, you can plot the Chop on the oscillator:
Other Settings
You can also modify the standard Regime Monitoring parameters (Lookback, Smoothing, Limits), display or hide certain components, and change all the colors.
How it Works
Regime Monitoring's main oscillator is established as follows:
We calculate the percentage of times the closing price was higher than the opening price. This is then divided by a lookback period, which in this case defaults to 20. This calculation gives a probability of the current regime.
Market Forecast w/ Signals [QuantVue]The Market Forecast With Signals Indicator is an upgraded version of the popular ThinkorSwim platforms Market Forecast. This upgraded version utilizes stochastic oscillators, moving averages, and momentum calculations to find potential buying and selling opportunities.
Stochastic Oscillator
The indicator calculates three variations of the Fast Stochastic Oscillator for different time periods:
🔹Intermediate: Calculated over a medium-term period (default 31 bars).
🔹Momentum: Calculated over a short-term period (default 5 bars).
🔹Near Term: Calculated over a very short-term period (default 3 bars).
These calculations involve finding the highest and lowest values within their respective periods and comparing the current close to this range.
Moving Average Smoothing
The results of the Fast Stochastic Oscillator for the Intermediate and Near Term are then smoothed using a Simple Moving Average (SMA):
🔹Intermediate: 5-period SMA of the Intermediate Stochastic Oscillator.
🔹Near Term: 2-period SMA of the Near Term Stochastic Oscillator.
Momentum Indicator
A custom momentum calculation is performed, using the recent high and low prices over four periods.
Display
The indicator plots the smoothed Intermediate, Near Term, and custom Momentum calculations as separate lines on the chart.
Trading Signals
While the original indicator plots the lines mentioned above, the Market Forecast w/ Signals goes a step further by identifying key moments when nuanced signals fire. The built in alerts and visual aids make spotting these trading opportunities a breeze.
Clusters - Bullish and Bearish clusters are identified based on the convergence of all three lines (Intermediate, Near, and Momentum) above 80 (Bearish) or below 20 (Bullish).
The background color of the chart changes to indicate these clusters, aiding in quick identification of market extremes.
Trend Reversals - Marked with labels on the chart, this is based on the direction of the cluster (bullish or bearish) and the subsequent price movement crossing a threshold determined during the cluster formation.
Divergences - Divergences between the Near Term line and price highs/lows are detected using pivot points. These divergences are then plotted as lines on the chart, highlighting potential discrepancies between price action and momentum, which can signal reversals.

RSI MFI MultiTimeframe Oversold/OverboughtHello Traders,
This indicator is designed to easily visualize the overbought/oversold states of RSI and MFI across multiple timeframes.
The indicator is very straightforward.
The deeper the red, the closer it is to 0, and the deeper the green, the closer it is to 100. The intermediate values are rendered in a transparent gray to focus on the key regions.
However, I understand that traders may have an interest in knowing the most recent state of the oscillator, whether it was overbought or oversold.
For this reason, I have included the 'Gradient Color' option in the color settings.
By turning off this option, you can easily see at a glance which region the oscillator was in most recently.
(Gradient Color Option Off)
In addition, I know that many traders are interested in the actual RSI/MFI values across multiple timeframes.
Thus, I have displayed the RSI/MFI values for each timeframe on the far right.
Furthermore, although the name of this indicator is RSI MFI MultiTimeframe Oversold/Overbought, I have also included the Stochastic RSI as an option, as I find it personally useful.
Feel free to use it if you find it helpful.
