Scalping Strategy (5min)This indicator is designed for scalping strategies on a 5-minute timeframe. It generates signals based on two RSI crossovers and incorporates moving averages to identify trends. Additionally, a Bollinger Band is included to eliminate the need for an additional Bollinger Band on the chart.
Please note that this indicator does not guarantee 100% accurate signals and may produce false signals. It is recommended to use this indicator in conjunction with other indicators such as Stochastic, MACD, SuperTrend, or any other suitable indicators to enhance the accuracy of trading decisions.
1) Signal Generation: The indicator generates buy and sell signals based on two RSI crossovers. A buy signal is generated when the fast RSI crosses above the slow RSI, indicating potential bullish momentum. Conversely, a sell signal is generated when the fast RSI crosses below the slow RSI, suggesting potential bearish momentum.
2) To adjust the indicator to your specific chart and trading preferences, you have the flexibility to modify the RSI and moving average (MA) values. By changing the RSI values (slow RSI length and fast RSI length), you can fine-tune the sensitivity of the RSI crossovers to suit different timeframes and market conditions. Similarly, adjusting the MA values (slow MA period and fast MA period) allows you to adapt the indicator to the desired trend identification and short-term trend confirmation.
3) Pay attention to trades that are confirmed by the short-term moving average (MA) aligning with the desired direction. For buy signals, ensure that the short MA is tending upward, indicating a potential uptrend. For sell signals, confirm that the short MA is trending downward, suggesting a potential downtrend.
4) Moving Averages: The indicator uses a 200-period moving average (MA) to identify the overall trend and a short-term MA for additional confirmation.
5) Bollinger Band: The included Bollinger Band is not directly used in the indicator's calculations. However, it is provided for convenience so that users don't need to add another Bollinger Band to their chart separately.
6) Exercise caution when the short MA is below the 200-period MA but showing signs of attempting an upward move. These situations may indicate a potential reversal or consolidation, and it is advisable to avoid taking trades solely based on the 200-period MA crossover in such cases.
Remember that these guidelines are intended to provide additional insights and should be used in combination with your trading judgment and analysis.
M-oscillator
Normalized Elastic Volume Oscillator (MTF)The Multi-Timeframe Normalized Elastic Volume Oscillator combines volume analysis with multiple timeframe analysis. It provides traders with valuable insights into volume dynamics across different timeframes, helping to identify trends, potential reversals, and overbought/oversold conditions.
When using the Multi-Timeframe Normalized Elastic Volume Oscillator, consider the following guidelines:
Understanding Input Parameters : The indicator offers customizable input parameters to suit your trading preferences. You can adjust the EMA length (emaLength), scaling factor (scalingFactor), volume weighting option (volumeWeighting), and select a higher timeframe for analysis (higherTF). Experiment with these parameters to optimize the indicator for your trading strategy.
Multiple Timeframe Analysis : The Multi-Timeframe Normalized Elastic Volume Oscillator allows you to analyze volume dynamics on both the current timeframe and a higher timeframe. By comparing volume behavior across different timeframes, you gain a broader perspective on market trends and the strength of volume deviations. The higher timeframe analysis provides additional confirmation and helps identify more significant market shifts.
Normalized Values : The indicator normalizes the volume deviations on both timeframes to a consistent scale between -0.25 and 0.75. This normalization makes it easier to compare and interpret the oscillator's readings across different assets and timeframes. Positive values indicate bullish volume behavior, while negative values suggest bearish volume behavior.
Interpreting the Indicator : Pay attention to the position of the Multi-Timeframe Normalized Elastic Volume Oscillator lines relative to the zero line on both timeframes. Positive values on either timeframe indicate a bullish bias, while negative values suggest a bearish bias. The distance of the oscillator from the zero line reflects the strength of the volume deviation. Extreme readings, both positive and negative, may indicate overbought or oversold conditions, potentially signaling a trend reversal or exhaustion.
Combining with Other Indicators : For more robust trading decisions, consider combining the Multi-Timeframe Normalized Elastic Volume Oscillator with other technical analysis tools. This could include trend indicators, support/resistance levels, or candlestick patterns. By incorporating multiple indicators, you gain additional confirmation and increase the reliability of your trading signals.
Remember that the Multi-Timeframe Normalized Elastic Volume Oscillator is a valuable tool, but it should not be used in isolation. Consider other factors such as price action, market context, and fundamental analysis to make well-informed trading decisions. Additionally, practice proper risk management and exercise caution when executing trades.
By utilizing the Multi-Timeframe Normalized Elastic Volume Oscillator, you gain a comprehensive view of volume dynamics across different timeframes. This knowledge can help you identify potential market trends, confirm trading signals, and improve the timing of your trades.
Take time to familiarize yourself with the indicator and conduct thorough testing on historical data. This will help you gain confidence in its effectiveness and align it with your trading strategy. With experience and continuous evaluation, you can harness the power of the Multi-Timeframe Normalized Elastic Volume Oscillator to make informed trading decisions.
Buying/Selling Pressure Cycle (PreCy)No lag estimation of the buying/selling pressure for each candle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHY PreCY?
How much bearish pressure is there behind a group of bullish candles ?
Is this bearish pressure increasing?
When might it overcome the bullish pressure?
Those were my questions when I started this indicator. It lead me through the rabbit hole, where I discovered some secrets about the market. So I pushed deeper, and developped it a lot more, in order to understand what is really happening "behind the scene".
There are now 3 ways to read this indicator. It might look complicated at first, but the reward is to be able to anticipate and understand a lot more.
You can show/hide all the plots in the settings. So you can choose the way you prefer to use it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST WAY TO READ PreCy : The SIGNAL line
Go in the settings of PreCy, in "DISPLAY", uncheck "The pivot lines of the SIGNAL" and "The CYCLE areas". Make sure "The SIGNAL line" is checked.
The SIGNAL shows an estimation of the buying/selling pressure of each candle, going from 100 (100% bullish candle) to -100 (100% bearish candle). A doji would be shown close to zero.
Formula: Estimated % of buying pressure - Estimated % of selling pressure
It is a very choppy line in general, but its colors help make sense of it.
When this choppiness alternates between the extremes, then there is not much pressure on each candle, and it's very unpredictable.
When the pressure increases, the SIGNAL's amplitude changes. It "compresses", meaning there is some interest in the market. It can compress by alternating above and below zero, or it can stay above zero (bullish), or below zero (bearish) for a while.
When the SIGNAL becomes linear (in opposition to choppy), there is a lot of pressure, and it is directional. The participants agree for a move in a chosen direction.
The trajectory of the SIGNAL can help anticipate when a move is going to happen (directional increase of pressure), or stop (returning to zero) and possibly reverse (crossing zero).
Advanced uses:
The SIGNAL can make more sense on a specific timeframe, that would be aligned with the frequency of the orders at that moment. So it is a good idea to switch between timeframes until it gets less choppy, and more directional.
It is interesting to follow any regular progression of the SIGNAL, as it can reveal the intentions of the market makers to go in a certain direction discretely. There can be almost no volume and no move in the price action, yet the SIGNAL gets linear and moves away from one extreme, slowly crosses the zeroline, and pushes to the other extreme at the same time as the amplitude of the price action increases drastically.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECOND WAY TO READ PreCy : The PIVOTS of the SIGNAL line
Go in the settings of PreCy, in "DISPLAY", and uncheck "The CYCLE areas". Make sure "The SIGNAL line" and "The pivot lines of the SIGNAL" are checked.
The PIVOTS help make sense of the apparent chaos of the SIGNAL. They can reveal the overall direction of the choppy moves.
Especially when the 2 PIVOTS lines are parallel and oriented.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIRD WAY TO READ PreCy : The CYCLE
Go in the settings of PreCy, in "DISPLAY", and uncheck "The SIGNAL line" and "The pivot lines of the SIGNAL". Make sure "The CYCLE areas" is checked.
The CYCLE is a Moving Average of the SIGNAL in relation to each candle's size.
Formula: 6 periods Moving Average of the SIGNAL * (body of the current candle / 200 periods Moving Average of the candle's bodies)
The result goes from 200 to -200.
The CYCLE shows longer term indications of the pressures of the market.
Analysing the trajectory of the CYCLE can help predict the direction of the price.
When the CYCLE goes above or below the gray low intensity zone, it signals some interest in the move.
When the CYCLE stays above 100 or below -100, it is a sign of strength in the move.
When it stayed out of the gray low intensity zone, then returns inside it, it is a strong signal of a probable change of behavior.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALERTS
In the settings, you can pick the alerts you're interested in.
To activate them, right click on the chart (or alt+a), choose "Add alert on Buying/Selling Pressure Cycle (PreCy)" then "Any alert()", then "Create".
Feel free to activate them on different timeframes. The alerts show which timeframe they are from (ex: "TF:15" for the 15 minutes TF).
I have added a lot more conditions to my PreCy, taken from FREMA Trend, for ex. You can do the same with your favorite scripts, to make PreCy more accurate for your style.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Borrowed scripts:
To estimate the buying and selling pressures, PreCy uses the wicks calculations of "Volume net histogram" by RafaelZioni
To filter the alerts, PreCy uses the calculations of "Amplitude" by Koholintian:

DO NOT BASE YOUR TRADING DECISIONS ON 1 SINGLE INDICATOR'S SIGNALS.
Always confirm your ideas by other means, like price action and indicators of a different nature.
True Trend Oscillator [wbburgin]The True Trend oscillator identifies trending or ranging markets with a stochastic ATR and RSI. Here are some examples for how it can be used.
Uptrends
If the candlesticks are lime green, this signals an uptrend. On the oscillator, you can identify an uptrend if the bull strength (the green line) is above the bear strength (the red line). The strength of the uptrend and the downtrend can be found by looking at the slope of these lines.
Downtrends
If the candlesticks are red, this signals a downtrend. On the oscillator, notice how the bear strength line is above the bull strength line.
Ranging Markets and Pullbacks
The True Trend oscillator can also be used to identify ranging markets or pullbacks. Let's look at the previous example again:
If you notice that the bull and bear lines are bouncing above the red weak-trend zone (as in the example above), this signals an extended trend. On the contrary, when the bull and bear lines fall into the weak-trend zone, this may indicate a larger pullback or a range to look to enter a trade again, as in this example, where the ranging candles in gray demonstrate temporary pullbacks in a larger bullish trend:
Ranges can also occur before trend reversals, so a range may also indicate a smart time to secure profits.
You can customize the ranging threshold in the settings. It can be set from 0-100 because the indicator is a stochastic.
Hope you all find this indicator useful!
Trend Momentum SynthesizerBy analyzing the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) and Squeeze Momentum indicators, this indicator helps identify potential bullish, bearish, or undecided market conditions.
The algorithm within considers the positions of the MACD and Squeeze Momentum indicators to determine the overall market sentiment. When the indicators align and indicate a bullish market condition, the indicator's plot color will be either dark green, green, yellow, or lime, indicating a potential bullish trend. Conversely, if the indicators align and indicate a bearish market condition, the plot color will be maroon or red, denoting a potential bearish trend. When the indicators are inconclusive, the plot color will be orange, suggesting an undecided market.
The ADX is an addon component of this indicator, helping to assess the strength of a trend. By analyzing the ADX, the indicator determines whether a trend is strong enough, providing additional confirmation for potential trade signals. The ADX smoothing and DI (Directional Index) length parameters can be customized to suit individual trading preferences.
By combining these indicators, the algorithm provides traders with a comprehensive view of the market, helping them make informed trading decisions. It aims to assist traders in identifying potential market opportunities and aligns with the objective of maximizing trading performance.
How to use the indicator:
Note: I used back-testing for fine tuning do not base your trades on signals from the testing framework.
TASC 2023.06 Stochastic Distance Oscillator█ OVERVIEW
This script implements the stochastic distance oscillator (SDO) , a momentum indicator introduced by Vitali Apirine in an article featured in TASC's June 2023 edition of Traders' Tips . The SDO is a variation of the classic stochastic oscillator and is designed to identify overbought and oversold levels, as well as detect bull and bear trend changes.
█ CONCEPTS
Unlike the classic stochastic oscillator, which compares an asset's price to its past price range, the SDO measures the size of the current distance relative to the maximum-minimum distance range over a set number of periods. The current distance is defined as the distance between the current price and the price n periods ago.
The readings of the SDO can be used to identify the following states of the asset price:
Uptrend state: the oscillator crosses over 50 from a non-uptrend state.
Downtrend state: the oscillator crosses under -50 from a non-downtrend state.
Overbought state: the oscillator is in an uptrend and crosses -50 for the first time.
Oversold state: the oscillator is in a downtrend and crosses 50 for the first time.
Trend continuity: the oscillator crosses 0 in the direction of the current trend.
The script indicates these five conditions using on-chart signals and background coloring.
█ CALCULATIONS
The SDO is calculated as follows:
1. Calculate the distance between the current price and the price n periods ago, as well as the maximum and minimum distances for the selected lookback period. The author recommends using one of two values of n , 14 or 40 bars.
2. Calculate the time series % D that represents the relation between the asset's current distance and its distance range over a loockback period:
% D = (Abs(current distance) − Abs(minimum distance)) / (Abs(maximum distance) − Abs(minimum distance)) * 100
3. Use the calculated % D to obtain the SDO:
If the closing price is above the close n periods ago, SDO = % D
If the closing price is below the close n periods ago, SDO = −% D
If the closing price equals the close n periods ago or the current distance equals the minimum distance, SDO = 0
4. Smooth the SDO using an exponential moving average (EMA). The author recommends using an EMA in the range from 3 to 6 .
Adjustable input parameters include the number of periods n , the lookback period for calculating % D , the smoothing EMA length, and the overbought/oversold threshold level.
Average Trend with Deviation Bands v2TL;DR: An average based trend incl. micro trend spotting and multiple display options.
This script is basically an update of my "Average Trend with Deviation Bands" script. I made the following changes:
Not an overlay anymore - The amount of drawn lines makes the chart pretty messy. That's why I moved it to a pane. If you preferred the overlay you can use my "Average Trend with Deviation Bands" script. *This is also the reason why I publish this script instead of updating the existing one.
I added an EMA to represent the price movement instead of candles
I added a signal (SMA) to spot micro trends and early entry/exit signals
I added the option to switch between a "line view" which shows the average trend and deviation bands and an "oscillator view" which shows an oscillator and histogram (MACD style)
General usage:
1. The white line is the average trend (which is an average of the last N bars open, close, high, low price).
2. Bands around the average trend are standard deviations which can be adjusted in the options menu and are only visible in "lines view". Basically they are like the clouds in the Ichimoku Cloud indicator - In big deviation bands the price movement needs more "power" to break through the average trend and vice versa.
3. Indicator line (blue line) - This is the EMA which represents the price. Crossing the average trend from below indicates an uptrend and vice versa (crossing from above indicates a down trend).
4. Signal line (red line) - This is a smoothed version of the indicator line which can be used to predict the movement of the price when crossed by the indicator line (like at MACD and many other indicators).
Oscillator usage:
When switched to "oscillator view" the indicator line oscillates around a zero line which can be seen as the average trend. The usage is basically the same as described above. However there is also the histogram which shows the difference between the indicator and signal. Of course the histogram can be deactivated. Additionally a color filling can be added to easily spot entry/exit signals.
As always: Code is free do whatever you like. If you have any questions/comments/etc. just drop it in the comment section.
Open Interest OffsetThis indicator is used to display whether there has been an abnormal increase or decrease in recent contract positions. Its usage is similar to the RSI indicator.
Please note that this indicator uses fixed (customizable) thresholds of 0.4 and 0.6 to indicate when abnormal opening and closing occur respectively. For some altcoins, their values may far exceed 0.4 so please adjust accordingly based on your symbol.
(1) When there is an abnormal increase in recent contract positions, the value of the indicator will be above 0.4. This means that there may be a liquidation market situation occurring subsequently. If the market background at this time is rising, it may not be suitable to continue buying because the indicator shows that it is currently overbought. On the contrary, it may be appropriate to sell now.
(2) When there is an abnormal decrease in recent contract positions, the value of the indicator will be below -0.4. This means that a liquidation market situation has occurred recently. If the market background at this time is falling, it may not be suitable to continue shorting because the indicator shows that it is currently oversold. On the contrary, it may be appropriate to buy now.

T3 OscillatorTL;DR - An Oscillator based on T3 moving average
The T3 moving average is a well known moving average created by Tim TIllson. Oscillator values are created by using the simple formula "source (close by default) - T3 moving average". Tim Tillson used a "volume factor" of 0.7 in his original T3 calculation. I changed this value to 0.618 and added the option to change it if needed/wanted. I also added alarms for zero line crossing upwards and downward, a smoothing option and custom time frames.
Compared to other oscillators like TSI, MACD etc. I observed better signals, especially in trending market situations, from the T3 oscillator (I tested Forex and Crypto).
Usage is simple: If the oscillator is above 0 it indicates a bearish trend. If below 0 it indicates a bullish trend. -> Really simple to use. However it can also be used to determine micro trends and reversals when combined with price action analysis. To keeps things simple I have not added a moving average like many other oscillators because I think it is confusing and does not help (in this particular case).
P.S. I haven't found a T3 oscillator on Trading View. Code is free - do whatever you want with it ;)

Trend AngleIntroduction:
In today's post, we'll dive deep into the source code of a unique trading tool, the Trend Angle Indicator. The script is an indicator that calculates the trend angle for a given financial instrument. This powerful tool can help traders identify the strength and direction of a trend, allowing them to make informed decisions.
Overview of the Trend Angle Indicator:
The Trend Angle Indicator calculates the trend angle based on the slope of the price movement over a specified period. It uses an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to smooth the data and an Epanechnikov kernel function for additional smoothing. The indicator provides a visual representation of the trend angle, making it easy to interpret for traders of all skill levels.
Let's break down the key components of the script:
Inputs:
Length: The number of periods to calculate the trend angle (default: 8)
Scale: A scaling factor for the ATR (Average True Range) calculation (default: 2)
Smoothing: The smoothing parameter for the Epanechnikov kernel function (default: 2)
Smoothing Factor: The radius of the Epanechnikov kernel function (default: 1)
Functions:
ema(): Exponential Moving Average calculation
atan2(): Arctangent function
degrees(): Conversion of radians to degrees
epanechnikov_kernel(): Epanechnikov kernel function for additional smoothing
Calculations:
atr: The EMA of the True Range
slope: The slope of the price movement over the given length
angle_rad: The angle of the slope in radians
degrees: The smoothed angle in degrees
Plotting:
Trend Angle: The trend angle, plotted as a line on the chart
Horizontal lines: 0, 90, and -90 degrees as reference points
How the Trend Angle Indicator Works:
The Trend Angle Indicator begins by calculating the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the True Range (TR) for a given financial instrument. This smooths the price data and provides a more accurate representation of the instrument's price movement.
Next, the indicator calculates the slope of the price movement over the specified length. This slope is then divided by the scaled ATR to normalize the trend angle based on the instrument's volatility. The angle is calculated using the atan2() function, which computes the arctangent of the slope.
The final step in the process is to smooth the trend angle using the Epanechnikov kernel function. This function provides additional smoothing to the trend angle, making it easier to interpret and reducing the impact of short-term price fluctuations.
Conclusion:
The Trend Angle Indicator is a powerful trading tool that allows traders to quickly and easily determine the strength and direction of a trend. By combining the Exponential Moving Average, ATR, and Epanechnikov kernel function, this indicator provides an accurate and easily interpretable representation of the trend angle. Whether you're an experienced trader or just starting, the Trend Angle Indicator can provide valuable insights into the market and help improve your trading decisions.
Fetch ATR + MA StrategyA trend following indicator that allows traders/investors to enter trades for the long term, as it is mainly tested on the daily chart. The indicator fires off buy and sell signals. The sell signals can be turned off as trader can decide to use this indicator for long term buy signals. The buy signals are indicated by the green diamonds, and the red diamonds show the points on then chart where the asset can be sold.
The indicator uses a couple indicators in order to generate the buy signals:
- ADX
- ATR
- Moving Average of ATR
- 50 SMA
- 200 SMA
The buy signal is generated at the cross overs of the 50 and 200 SMA's while the ATR is lower than then Moving Average of the ATR. The buy signal is fired when these conditions are met and if the ADX is lower than 30.
The thought process is as follows:
When the ATR is lower than its moving average, the price should be in a low volatilty environment. An ADX between 25 and 50 signals a Strong trend. Every value below 25 is an absent or weak trend. So entering a trade when the volatilty is still low but increasing, you'll be entering a trade at the start of a new uptrend. This mechanism also filters out lots of false signals of the simple cross overs.
The sell signals are fired every time the 50 SMA drops below the 200 SMA.
Donchian Channel Oscillator (DonOsc) Preface
DonOsc stands for Donchian Channel Oscillator. This channel envelopes all prices, so if you set the height of the channel to 100 percent, you can plot the prices as percent in between, creating this sub-pane oscillator. For clarity the example chart shows a Donchian channel in the main-pane with the same look-back as the DonOsc, this way you can see how both are related.
Price River
Not only the close is plotted, but also the high and the low of the bar. Thus you get a structure that can be associated with a river, streaming from left to right, in which the price moves between the left bank (i.e. the plotted highs) and the right bank (i.e. the plotted lows), which meanders between the high border (100%) and the low border (0%) of the oscillator. The surface of the price river is gray. The price line is blue when up and dark red when down. The river has also color patches dark red, light red, blue and aqua. Stochastic patches; up: aqua, down: light red
If you look at the price river, you may notice that the price line is closer to the left bank (highs) when moving up and to the right bank (lows) when moving down. Because this phenomenon is used in the stochastic indicator, I named these stochastic patches. These are depicted on the wide side for visibility, so the aqua patches are to the right of the price line and the light-red patches to the left.
Widening patches; up: blue, down: red
If you look at tops or bottoms in bar charts, you may notice that long bars (wide range) tend to be there. You may say that prices turn with a ‘range bang’. This causes a widening of the price river, depicted as a patch on the wide side.
Channel Features
High (76.4 %) and low (23.6 %) Fibonacci levels.
In the oscillator there is no need to calculate Fibonacci levels, we can just plot them. If the price is above 50% the low level is shown with a green color, when below the high level with a pink color. When the price river crosses a level a ‘near border’ highlighter will flash, lime near the high border and orange near the low one.
New high and new low markers.
A flaw in the oscillator is that is doesn’t show actual new lows and new highs in the Donchian Channel, because everything is made relative. This is ‘repaired’ by adding markers, dark red for new low depicted between the high fib and border, blue for new high depicted between low fib and border. Used are the same colors as in the widening patches, because new highs and lows also lead to widening of the actual Channel.
Uptrend and downtrend highlighters.
If in the actual Channel the bars run in the upper half, an uptrend is happening as long as these remain there, a downtrend when the bars remain in the lower half. In the oscillator a yellow highlighter flashes when the price is higher than 50%, a red highlighter below 50%.
Interpretation of the DonOsc
This sub-pane indicator provides a wealth of useful information about what is going on in the market. First of all you immediately see whether there is an up or down trend and whether these lead to new highs or lows. Second of all you can estimate the importance of price movements in the context of the look-back period. Thirdly the width of the price river reveals the emotions in the market. The higher the emotions run, the more risk is involved in a postilion in the charted instrument.
Settings of the DonOsc
Look-back settings.
By default the script sets the look-back, depending on the time frame. This overrules the standard manual setting. If you switch this off, the manual setting will work. A feed-back label can by shown which informs about the current setting.
Smoothing
This concerns the price river. Default is 2, if you increase this setting, the river will loose its touch with the channel borders. O.t.o.h. the river wil be wider and better visible. Maximum setting is 5.
Colors
The momentum colors set both the river widening patches and new high and low markers.
Take care, Eykpunter.

The Multi Time Frame Normalized Price Indicator
The MTFNP Indicator is designed to provide a comprehensive view of price action across multiple time frames. By plotting the normalized price levels for each time frame, traders can easily identify areas of support and resistance, as well as potential tops and bottoms in various ranges.
One of the key features of this indicator is the symmetry of the chart. Instead of the traditional horizontal time axis, the MTFNP Indicator plots the time axis vertically from top to bottom. This innovative approach makes it easier for traders to visualize the price action across different time frames, enabling them to make more informed decisions.
Benefits of a Symmetric Chart
There are several advantages to using a symmetric chart with a vertical time axis, such as:
Easier to read: The unique layout of the chart makes it easier to analyze price action across multiple time frames. The clear separation between each time frame helps traders avoid confusion and identify important price levels more effectively.
Identifying tops and bottoms: The symmetric presentation of price action enables traders to quickly spot potential tops and bottoms in various ranges. This can be particularly useful for identifying potential reversal points or areas of support and resistance.
Improved decision-making: By offering a comprehensive view of price action, the MTFNP Indicator helps traders make better-informed decisions. This can lead to improved trading strategies and ultimately, better results.
The MTFNP Indicator Script
The MTFNP Indicator script leverages several custom functions, including the Chebyshev Type I Moving Average, to provide a smooth and responsive signal. Additionally, the indicator uses the Spider Plot function to create a symmetric chart with the time axis going from top to bottom.
To customize the MTFNP Indicator to your preferences, you can adjust the input parameters, such as the standard deviation length, multiplier, axes color, bottom color, and top color. You can also change the scale to fit your desired chart size.
Exploring the Relationship between Min, Max Values and Time Frames
In the Multi Time Frame Normalized Price (MTFNP) script, it is crucial to understand the relationship between the min and max values across different time frames. By analyzing how these values relate to each other, traders can make more informed decisions about market trends and potential reversals. In this section, we will dive deep into the relationship between the current time frame's min and max values and those of the further-out time frames.
Interpreting Min and Max Values Across Time Frames
When analyzing the min and max values of the current time frame in relation to the further-out time frames, it is essential to keep in mind the following points:
All min values: If the current time frame and all further-out time frames have min values, this is a strong indication that the current price level is not just a local minimum. Instead, it is likely a more significant support level. In such cases, there is a higher probability that the price will bounce back upwards, making it a potentially favorable entry point for a long position.
All max values: Conversely, if the current time frame and all further-out time frames have max values, this suggests that the current price level is not just a local maximum. Instead, it is likely a more significant resistance level. In these situations, there is a higher probability that the price will reverse downwards, making it a potentially favorable entry point for a short position.
Neutral values with high current time frame: If the current time frame has a high value while the further-out time frames are more neutral, it could indicate that the trend may continue. This is because the high value in the current time frame may signify momentum in the market, whereas the neutral values in the further-out time frames suggest that the trend has not yet reached an extreme level. In this case, traders might consider following the trend and entering a position in the direction of the current movement.
Neutral values with low current time frame: If the current time frame has a low value while the further-out time frames are more neutral, it could indicate that the trend may reverse. This is because the low value in the current time frame may suggest a potential reversal point, whereas the neutral values in the further-out time frames imply that the trend has not yet reached an extreme level. In this case, traders might consider entering a counter-trend position, anticipating a potential reversal.
Balancing Different Time Frames for Optimal Decision Making
It is essential to remember that relying solely on min and max values across different time frames can lead to potential pitfalls. The market is influenced by a wide array of factors, and no single indicator or data point can provide a complete picture. To make the most informed decisions, traders should consider incorporating additional technical analysis tools and evaluating the overall market context.
Moreover, it is crucial to maintain a balance between the current time frame and the further-out time frames. While the current time frame provides information about the most recent market movements, the further-out time frames offer a broader perspective on the market's historical behavior. By combining insights from both types of time frames, traders can make more comprehensive assessments of potential opportunities and risks.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Multi Time Frame Normalized Price (MTFNP) script offers traders valuable insights by analyzing the relationship between the current time frame and further-out time frames. By identifying potential trend reversals and continuations, traders can make better-informed decisions about market entry and exit points.
Understanding the relationship between min and max values across different time frames is an essential component of using the MTFNP script effectively. By carefully analyzing these relationships and incorporating additional technical analysis tools, traders can improve their decision-making process and enhance their overall trading strategy.
However, it is important to remember that relying solely on the MTFNP script or any single indicator can lead to potential pitfalls. The market is influenced by a wide array of factors, and no single indicator or data point can provide a complete picture. To make the most informed decisions, traders should consider using a combination of technical analysis tools, evaluating the overall market context, and maintaining a balance between the current time frame and the further-out time frames for a comprehensive understanding of the market's behavior. By doing so, they can increase their chances of success in the ever-changing and complex world of trading.
Hull Suite Oscillator - Normalized | IkkeOmarThis script is based off the Hull Suite by @InSilico.
I made this script to provide and calculate the Hull Moving Average (HMA) based on the chosen variation (HMA, TMA, or EMA) and length to then normalize the HMA values to a range of 0 to 100. The normalized values are further smoothed using an exponential moving average (EMA).
The smoothed oscillator is plotted as a line, where values above 80 are colored red, values below 20 are colored green, and values between 20 and 80 are colored blue. Additionally, there are horizontal dashed lines at the levels of 20 and 80 to serve as reference points.
Explanation for the code:
The script uses the close price of the asset as the source for calculations. The modeSwitch parameter allows selecting the type of Hull variation: Hma, Thma, or Ehma. The length parameter determines the calculation period for the Hull moving averages. The lengthMult parameter is used to adjust the length for higher timeframes. The oscSmooth parameter determines the lookback period for smoothing the oscillator.
There are three functions defined for calculating different types of Hull moving averages: HMA, EHMA, and THMA. These functions take the source and length as inputs and return the corresponding Hull moving average.
The Mode function acts as a switch and selects the appropriate Hull variation based on the modeSwitch parameter. It returns the chosen Hull moving average.
The script calculates the Hull moving averages using the selected mode, source, and length. The main Hull moving average is stored in the _hull variable, and aliases are created for the main Hull moving average (HULL), the main Hull value (MHULL), and the secondary Hull value (SHULL).
To create the normalized oscillator values, the script finds the highest and lowest values of the Hull moving average within the specified length. It then normalizes the Hull values to a range of 0 to 100 using a formula. This normalized oscillator represents the strength of the trend.
To smooth out the oscillator values, an exponential moving average is applied using the oscSmooth parameter.
The smoothed oscillator is plotted as a line chart. The line color is determined based on the oscillator value using conditional statements. If the oscillator value is above or equal to 80, the line color is set to red. If it is below or equal to 20, the color is green. Otherwise, it is blue. The linewidth is set to 2.
Additionally, two horizontal reference lines are plotted at levels 20 and 80 for visual reference. They are displayed in gray and dashed style.
Momentum Channel - [Volume Filter]The indicator incorporates a volume filter to ensure that the RSI only moves when the volume is above the moving average of the volume.
The filtered RSI is then used to calculate the Bollinger Bands and moving averages, providing insights into the market dynamics.
It also gives you insight into the bigger timeframes so you can monitor momentum!
Volume Filter Length: Input parameter for the length of the volume filter moving average.
Overview of code:
rsiPeriod: Input parameter for the RSI period.
bandLength: Input parameter for the length of the Bollinger Bands.
lengthrsipl: Input parameter for the length of the fast moving average (MA) on the RSI.
volumeFilterLength: Input parameter for the length of the volume filter moving average.
volumeAvg: Calculates the moving average of the volume using the ta.sma() function with the specified volume filter length.
filteredRsi: Uses the ta.valuewhen() function to obtain the RSI value only when the volume is greater than or equal to the volume moving average. This creates a filtered RSI based on the volume filter.
offs: Calculates the offset value for the Bollinger Bands. It is derived by multiplying 1.6185 with the standard deviation of the filtered RSI using the ta.stdev() function.
Normalized KAMA Oscillator | Ikke OmarThis indicator demonstrates the creation of a normalized KAMA (Kaufman Adaptive Moving Average) oscillator with a table display. I will explain how the code works, providing a step-by-step breakdown. This is personally made by me:)
Input Parameters:
fast_period and slow_period: Define the periods for calculating the KAMA.
er_period: Specifies the period for calculating the Efficiency Ratio.
norm_period: Determines the lookback period for normalizing the oscillator.
Efficiency Ratio (ER) Calculation:
Measures the efficiency of price changes over a specified period.
Calculated as the ratio of the absolute price change to the total price volatility.
Smoothing Constant Calculation:
Determines the smoothing constant (sc) based on the Efficiency Ratio (ER) and the fast and slow periods.
The formula accounts for the different periods to calculate an appropriate smoothing factor.
KAMA Calculation:
Uses the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the smoothing constant to compute the KAMA.
Combines the fast EMA and the adjusted price change to adapt to market conditions.
Oscillator Normalization:
Normalizes the oscillator values to a range between -0.5 and 0.5 for better visualization and comparison.
Determines the highest and lowest values of the KAMA within the specified normalization period.
Transforms the KAMA values into a normalized range.
By incorporating the Efficiency Ratio, smoothing constant, and normalization techniques, the indicator actually allows for the identification of trends on different timeframes, even in extreme market conditions.
The normalization makes it much more adaptive than if you were to just use a normal KAMA line. This way you actually get a lot more data by looking at the histogram, rather than just the KAMA line.
I essentially made the KAMA into an oscillator! Please ask if you want me to code another indicator
I hope you enjoyed this.

Radar RiderThe Radar Rider indicator is a powerful tool that combines multiple technical indicators into a single spider plot, providing traders with a comprehensive view of market conditions. This article will delve into the workings of each built-in indicator and their arrangement within the spider plot. To better understand the structure of the script, let's first examine some of the primary functions and how they are utilized in the script.
Normalize Function: normalize(close, len)
The normalize function takes the close price and a length as arguments and normalizes the price data by scaling it between 0 and 1, making it easier to compare different indicators.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Filter: bes(source, alpha)
The EMA filter is used to smooth out data using an exponential moving average, with the given alpha value defining the level of smoothing. This helps reduce noise and enhance the trend-following characteristics of the indicators.
Maximum and Minimum Functions: max(src) and min(src)
These functions find the maximum and minimum values of the input data over a certain period, respectively. These values are used in the normalization process and can help identify extreme conditions in the market.
Min-Max Function: min_max(src)
The min-max function scales the input data between 0 and 100 by dividing the difference between the data point and the minimum value by the range between the maximum and minimum values. This standardizes the data, making it easier to compare across different indicators.
Slope Function: slope(source, length, n_len, pre_smoothing = 0.15, post_smoothing = 0.7)
The slope function calculates the slope of a given data source over a specified length, and then normalizes it using the provided normalization length. Pre-smoothing and post-smoothing values can be adjusted to control the level of smoothing applied to the data before and after calculating the slope.
Percent Function: percent(x, y)
The percent function calculates the percentage difference between two values, x and y. This is useful for comparing the relative change in different indicators.
In the given code, there are multiple indicators included. Here, we will discuss each of them in detail.
EMA Diff:
The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Diff is the difference between two EMA values of different lengths. The EMA is a type of moving average that gives more weight to recent data points. The EMA Diff helps traders identify trends and potential trend reversals. In the code, the EMA Diff is calculated using the ema_diff() function, which takes length, close, filter, and len_norm as parameters.
Percent Rank EMA Diff:
The Percent Rank EMA Diff is the percentage rank of the EMA Diff within a given range. It helps traders identify overbought or oversold conditions in the market. In the code, the Percent Rank EMA Diff is calculated using the percent_rank_ema_diff() function, which takes length, close, filter, and len_norm as parameters.
EMA Diff Longer:
The EMA Diff Longer is the difference between two EMA values of different lengths, similar to EMA Diff but with a longer period. In the code, the EMA Diff Longer is calculated using the ema_diff_longer() function, which takes length, close, filter, and len_norm as parameters.
RSI Filter:
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. The RSI Filter is the RSI value passed through a filter to smooth out the data. In the code, the RSI Filter is calculated using the rsi_filter() function, which takes length, close, and filter as parameters.
RSI Diff Normalized:
The RSI Diff Normalized is the normalized value of the derivative of the RSI. It helps traders identify potential trend reversals in the market. In the code, the RSI Diff Normalized is calculated using the rsi_diff_normalized() function, which takes length, close, filter, len_mad, and len_norm as parameters.
Z Score:
The Z Score is a statistical measurement that describes a value's relationship to the mean of a group of values. In the context of the code, the Z Score is calculated for the closing price of a security. The z_score() function takes length, close, filter, and len_norm as parameters.
EMA Normalized:
The EMA Normalized is the normalized value of the EMA, which helps traders identify trends and potential trend reversals in the market. In the code, the EMA Normalized is calculated using the ema_normalized() function, which takes length, close, filter, and len_norm as parameters.
WMA Volume Normalized:
The Weighted Moving Average (WMA) Volume Normalized is the normalized value of the WMA of the volume. It helps traders identify volume trends and potential trend reversals in the market. In the code, the WMA Volume Normalized is calculated using the wma_volume_normalized() function, which takes length, volume, filter, and len_norm as parameters.
EMA Close Diff Normalized:
The EMA Close Diff Normalized is the normalized value of the derivative of the EMA of the closing price. It helps traders identify potential trend reversals in the market. In the code, the EMA Close Diff Normalized is calculated using the ema_close_diff_normalized() function, which takes length, close, filter, len_mad, and len_norm as parameters.
Momentum Normalized:
The Momentum Normalized is the normalized value of the momentum, which measures the rate of change of a security's price. It helps traders identify trends and potential trend reversals in the market. In the code, the Momentum Normalized is calculated using the momentum_normalized() function, which takes length, close, filter, and len_norm as parameters.
Slope Normalized:
The Slope Normalized is the normalized value of the slope, which measures the rate of change of a security's price over a specified period. It helps traders identify trends and potential trend reversals in the market. In the code, the Slope Normalized is calculated using the slope_normalized() function, which takes length, close, filter, and len_norm as parameters.
Trend Intensity:
Trend Intensity is a measure of the strength of a security's price trend. It is based on the difference between the average of price increases and the average of price decreases over a given period. The trend_intensity() function in the code calculates the Trend Intensity by taking length, close, filter, and len_norm as parameters.
Volatility Ratio:
The Volatility Ratio is a measure of the volatility of a security's price, calculated as the ratio of the True Range (TR) to the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the TR. The volatility_ratio() function in the code calculates the Volatility Ratio by taking length, high, low, close, and filter as parameters.
Commodity Channel Index (CCI):
The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a momentum-based oscillator used to help determine when an investment vehicle is reaching a condition of being overbought or oversold. The CCI is calculated as the difference between the mean price of a security and its moving average, divided by the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the mean price. In the code, the CCI is calculated using the cci() function, which takes length, high, low, close, and filter as parameters.
These indicators are combined in the code to create a comprehensive trading strategy that considers multiple factors such as trend strength, momentum, volatility, and overbought/oversold conditions. The combined analysis provided by these indicators can help traders make informed decisions and improve their chances of success in the market.
The Radar Rider indicator is a powerful tool that combines multiple technical indicators into a single, easy-to-read visualization. By understanding the inner workings of each built-in indicator and their arrangement within the spider plot, traders can better interpret market conditions and make informed trading decisions.
Spider VisionSpider Vision is an indicator that I created for trading view, which consists of a spider chart with 7 indicators built into it. This chart provides a visual representation of how these indicators are behaving, allowing traders to quickly assess the current market conditions.
The chart displays the following indicators:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): This is a momentum indicator that measures the strength of a security's price action. When the RSI is above 70, it is considered overbought, and when it is below 30, it is considered oversold.
Stochastic: This is another momentum indicator that compares the closing price of a security to its price range over a given time period. When the stochastic is above 80, it is considered overbought, and when it is below 20, it is considered oversold.
Momentum: This is a simple indicator that measures the change in a security's price over a given time period. When the momentum is positive, it indicates that the price is increasing, and when it is negative, it indicates that the price is decreasing.
BBW (Bollinger Bands Width): This indicator measures the width of the Bollinger Bands, which are a popular technical analysis tool used to identify potential trends and reversals. When the BBW is high, it suggests that the market is volatile, and when it is low, it suggests that the market is quiet.
DTO (Detrended Price Oscillator): This indicator measures the difference between the price of a security and its moving average. When the DTO is positive, it indicates that the price is above its moving average, and when it is negative, it indicates that the price is below its moving average.
Chop Zone: This indicator measures the choppiness of the market by comparing the average true range (ATR) to the difference between the high and low prices over a given time period. When the chop zone is high, it suggests that the market is choppy, and when it is low, it suggests that the market is trending.
Chaikin Oscillator: This is an oscillator that measures the accumulation/distribution of a security. When the Chaikin Oscillator is positive, it indicates that there is buying pressure in the market, and when it is negative, it indicates that there is selling pressure.
To use this indicator, traders can simply add it to their TradingView chart and adjust the input parameters to suit their trading style. The scale parameter can be used to adjust the size of the spider chart, while the color parameters can be used to customize the appearance of the chart. Traders can also adjust the length of each indicator to suit their preference.
Overall, the Spider Vision indicator provides a convenient way for traders to quickly assess the current market conditions and make more informed trading decisions.
ATR OSC and Volume Screener (ATROSCVS)In today's world of trading, having the right tools and indicators can make all the difference. With the vast number of cryptocurrencies available, I've found it challenging to keep track of the market's overall direction and make informed decisions. That's where the ATR OSC and Volume Screener comes in, a powerful Pine Script that I use to identify potential trading opportunities across multiple cryptocurrencies, all in one convenient place.
This script combines two essential components: the ATR Oscillator (ATR OSC) and a Volume Screener. It is designed to work with the TradingView platform. Let me explain how this script works and how it benefits my trading.
Firstly, the ATR Oscillator is an RSI-like oscillator that performs better under longer lookback periods. Unlike traditional RSI, the ATR OSC doesn't lose its min and max ranges with a long lookback period, as the scale remains intact. It calculates the true range by considering the high, low, open, and close prices of a financial instrument, and uses this true range instead of the standard deviation in a modified z-score calculation. This unique approach helps provide a more precise assessment of the market's volatility.
The Volume Screener, on the other hand, helps me identify unusual trading volumes across various cryptocurrencies. It employs a normalized volume calculation method, effectively filtering out outliers and highlighting potentially significant trading opportunities.
One feature I find particularly impressive about the ATR OSC and Volume Screener is its versatility and the way it displays information using color gradients. With support for over 30 different cryptocurrencies, including popular options like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), and Dogecoin (DOGE), I can monitor a wide range of markets simultaneously. The color gradient on the grid is visually appealing and makes it easy to identify the strength of the indicators for each cryptocurrency, allowing me to make quick comparisons and spot potential trading opportunities.
The customizable input options allow me to fine-tune the script to suit my individual trading preferences and strategies. In summary, the ATR OSC and Volume Screener has been an invaluable tool for me as I navigate the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrencies. By combining the power of the ATR Oscillator with a robust Volume Screener, this Pine Script makes it easier than ever to identify promising trading opportunities and stay ahead of the game.
The color gradient in the ATR OSC and Volume Screener is essential for visually representing the data on the heatmap. It uses a range of colors to indicate the strength of the indicators for each cryptocurrency, making it easier to understand the market dynamics at a glance.
In the heatmap, the color gradient typically starts from a cooler color, such as blue or green, at the lower extremes (low ATR OSC values) and progresses towards warmer colors, like yellow, orange, or red, as the ATR OSC values approach the upper extremes (high ATR OSC values). This color-coding system enables me to quickly identify and interpret the data without having to examine individual numerical values.
For example, cooler colors (blue or green) might represent lower values of the ATR Oscillator, suggesting oversold conditions in the respective cryptocurrencies. On the other hand, warmer colors (yellow, orange, or red) indicate higher ATR OSC values, signaling overbought market conditions. This visual representation allows me to make rapid comparisons between different cryptocurrencies and spot potential trading opportunities more efficiently.
By utilizing the color gradient in the heatmap, the ATR OSC and Volume Screener simplifies the analysis of multiple cryptocurrencies, helping me to quickly identify market trends and make better-informed trading decisions.
I highly recommend testing the ATR OSC and Volume Screener and seeing the difference it can make in your trading decisions. Happy trading!
Intrabar Run Count Indicator [tbiktag]• OVERVIEW
Introducing the Intrabar Run Count Indicator , a tool designed to detect potential non-randomness in intrabar price data. It utilizes the statistical runs test to examine the number of sequences ( runs ) of positive and negative returns in the analyzed price series. As deviations from random-walk behavior of returns may indicate market inefficiencies , the Intrabar Run Count Indicator can help traders gain a better understanding of the price dynamics inside each chart bar and make more informed trading decisions.
• USAGE
The indicator line expresses the deviation between the number of runs observed in the dataset and the expected number of runs under the hypothesis of randomness. Thus, it gauges the degree of deviation from random-walk behavior. If, for a given chart bar, it crosses above the critical value or crosses below the negative critical value, this may indicate non-randomness in the underlying intrabar returns. These instances are highlighted by on-chart signals and bar coloring. The confidence level that defines the critical value, as well as the number of intrabars used for analysis, are selected in the input settings.
It is important to note that the readings of the Intrabar Run Count Indicator do not convey directional information and cannot predict future asset performance. Rather, they help distinguish between random and potentially tradable price movements, such as breakouts, reversals, and gap fillings.
• DETAILS
The efficient-market hypothesis implies that the distribution of returns should be random, reflecting the idea that all available information is already priced into the asset. However, in practice, financial markets may not always be perfectly efficient due to factors such as market frictions, information asymmetry, and irrational behavior of market participants. As a result, inefficiency (non-randomness) can occur, potentially creating opportunities for trading strategies.
To search for potential inefficiencies, the Intrabar Run Count Indicator analyzes the distribution of the signs of returns. The central assumption underlying the indicator's logic is that if the asset price follows a random-walk pattern, then the probability of the next return being positive or negative (i.e., the next price value being larger or smaller than the current value) follows a binomial distribution. In this case, the number of runs is also a random variable, and, for a large sample, its conditional distribution is approximately normal with a well-defined mean and variance (see this link for the exact expressions). Thus, the observed number of runs in the price series is indicative of whether or not the time series can be regarded as random. In simple words, if there are too few runs or too many runs, it is unlikely a random time series. A trivial example is a series with all returns of the same sign.
Quantitatively, the deviation from randomness can be gauged by calculating the test statistic of the runs test (that serves as an indicator line ). It is defined as the absolute difference between the observed number of runs and the expected number of runs under the null hypothesis of randomness, divided by the standard deviation of the expected number of runs. If the test statistic is negative and exceeds the negative critical value (at a given confidence level), it suggests that there are fewer runs than expected for a random-walking time series. Likewise, if the test statistic exceeds the positive critical value, it is indicative of more runs than expected for a random series. The sign of the test statistic can also be informative, as too few runs can be sometimes indicative of mean-reverting behavior.
• CONCLUSION
The Intrabar Run Count Indicator can be a useful tool for traders seeking to exploit market inefficiencies and gain a better understanding of price action within each chart bar. However, it is important to note that the runs test only evaluates the distributional properties of the data and does not provide any information on the underlying causes of the non-randomness detected. Additionally, like any statistical test, it can sometimes produce false-positive signals. Therefore, this indicator should be used in conjunction with other analytical techniques as part of a trading strategy.
True Range OscHey fellow traders! I've just published a new indicator called the True Range Oscillator. It's designed to help you better understand price movements and volatility. The indicator calculates the average true range of the price data and uses a modified z-score-like approach to normalize it. The main difference is that it uses true range instead of standard deviation for normalization.
This oscillator identifies the highest and lowest values within a specified range, excluding any outliers based on standard deviations. It then scales the output between 0 and 100, so you can easily see how the current price action compares to its historical range. You can use the True Range Oscillator to spot potential trend reversals and overbought/oversold conditions.
Here are some features to explore:
Customize your price data source (open, high, low, or close).
Adjust the length and smoothing settings for the average true range calculation.
Find outliers with standard deviations, and tweak the outlier_level and dev_lookback options.
Visualize price action with plotted lines for the upper range (70), lower range (30), and center line (50), along with a shaded area between the upper and lower ranges for added clarity.
I hope you find this indicator useful in your trading journey!
