RSI Trend Bias█ OVERVIEW
The RSI Trend Bias indicator is a custom technical analysis tool that utilizes the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to gauge market momentum and identify potential trend shifts. By monitoring RSI crossovers and crossunders relative to customizable threshold levels, the indicator provides clear visual cues that distinguish between bullish and bearish market conditions. This flexible approach makes it suitable for both short-term scalping and longer-term trend analysis.
█ KEY FEATURES
Dynamic RSI Trend Detection
The indicator dynamically determines market bias by monitoring the RSI for crossovers above the upper threshold and crossunders below the lower threshold. This method ensures that only significant momentum shifts trigger a change in trend, reducing false signals in volatile markets.
Adaptive Visualizations
The RSI Trend Bias indicator enhances clarity by plotting the RSI with colors that reflect current market conditions. Additionally, it offers an optional background color change to further emphasize bullish or bearish states, providing immediate visual feedback to traders.
Clear Threshold Indicators
Upper and lower threshold levels are plotted as constant reference lines, clearly delineating overbought and oversold regions. These markers help traders quickly assess market conditions at a glance.
Customizable Settings
Users have full control over key parameters including the RSI length, threshold levels, and visual settings. This customization allows the indicator to be tailored for different markets and trading styles, ensuring optimal performance across various timeframes.
█ UNDERLYING METHODOLOGY & CALCULATIONS
RSI Calculation
The indicator computes the Relative Strength Index over a user-defined period (default is 14), providing a measure of market momentum that reflects price changes over time.
Trend Determination Logic
By detecting when the RSI crosses above the upper threshold, the indicator signals a shift towards bullish momentum. Conversely, a crossunder below the lower threshold indicates bearish conditions. This straightforward binary approach filters out minor fluctuations, ensuring clarity in trend analysis.
Visual Signal Integration
Based on the detected trend, the RSI line is dynamically colored—green for bullish conditions and red for bearish conditions. An optional background color change further reinforces these signals, offering an immediate visual cue of prevailing market sentiment.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
1 — Apply the Indicator
• Add the RSI Trend Bias indicator to a separate pane in your trading platform.
2 — Adjust Settings for Your Market
• RSI Length – Define the period for RSI calculation (default is 14).
• Threshold Levels – Set the upper (default 70) and lower (default 30) thresholds to identify overbought and oversold conditions.
• Visual Customization – Choose the bullish (green) and bearish (red) colors, and enable background color changes to enhance visual trend recognition.
3 — Interpret the Signals
• RSI Line – Observe the dynamically colored RSI line; a shift to green signals bullish momentum, while red indicates bearish conditions.
• Threshold Levels – Use the constant upper and lower lines as reference points for overbought and oversold states.
• Signal Timing – A crossover above the upper threshold or a crossunder below the lower threshold suggests potential entry or exit points.
4 — Integrate with Your Trading Strategy
• Combine RSI Trend Bias signals with other technical analysis tools to confirm market direction.
• Utilize the visual cues for fine-tuning your entry and exit decisions, ensuring robust risk management and optimized trade timing.
█ CONCLUSION
The RSI Trend Bias indicator offers a streamlined yet effective approach to monitoring market momentum. By leveraging the established principles of RSI analysis alongside dynamic visual cues, it enables traders to quickly identify bullish and bearish trends. Its customizable features and clear threshold indicators make it a valuable tool for enhancing technical analysis and making informed trading decisions.

Percentage Based ZigZag█ OVERVIEW
The Percentage-Based ZigZag indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed to highlight significant price reversals while filtering out market noise. Unlike many standard zigzag tools that rely solely on fixed price moves or generic trend-following methods, this indicator uses a configurable percentage threshold to dynamically determine meaningful pivot points. This approach not only adapts to different market conditions but also helps traders distinguish between minor fluctuations and truly significant trend shifts—whether scalping on shorter timeframes or analyzing longer-term trends.
█ KEY FEATURES & ORIGINALITY
Dynamic Pivot Detection
The indicator identifies pivot points by measuring the percentage change from the previous extreme (high or low). Only when this change exceeds a user-defined threshold is a new pivot recognized. This method ensures that only substantial moves are considered, making the indicator robust in volatile or noisy markets.
Enhanced ZigZag Visualization
By connecting significant highs and lows with a continuous line, the indicator creates a clear visual map of price swings. Each pivot point is labelled with the corresponding price and the percentage change from the previous pivot, providing immediate quantitative insight into the magnitude of the move.
Trend Reversal Projections
In addition to marking completed reversals, the script computes and displays potential future reversal points based on the current trend’s momentum. This forecasting element gives traders an advanced look at possible turning points, which can be particularly useful for short-term scalping strategies.
Customizable Visual Settings
Users can tailor the appearance by:
• Setting the percentage threshold to control sensitivity.
• Customizing colors for bullish (e.g., green) and bearish (e.g., red) reversals.
• Enabling optional background color changes that visually indicate the prevailing trend.
█ UNDERLYING METHODOLOGY & CALCULATIONS
Percentage-Based Filtering
The script continuously monitors price action and calculates the relative percentage change from the last identified pivot. A new pivot is confirmed only when the price moves a preset percentage away from this pivot, ensuring that minor fluctuations do not trigger false signals.
Pivot Point Logic
The indicator tracks the highest high and the lowest low since the last pivot. When the price reverses by the required percentage from these extremes, the algorithm:
1 — Labels the point as a significant high or low.
2 — Draws a connecting line from the previous pivot to the current one.
3 — Resets the extreme-tracking for detecting the next move.
Real-Time Reversal Estimation
Building on traditional zigzag methods, the script incorporates a projection calculation. By analyzing the current trend’s strength and recent percentage moves, it estimates where a future reversal might occur, offering traders actionable foresight.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
1 — Apply the Indicator
• Add the Percentage-Based ZigZag indicator to your trading chart.
2 — Adjust Settings for Your Market
• Percentage Move – Set a threshold that matches your trading style:
- Lower values for sensitive, high-frequency analysis (ideal for scalping).
- Higher values for filtering out noise on longer timeframes.
• Visual Customization – Choose your preferred colors for bullish and bearish signals and enable background color changes for visual trend cues.
• Reversal Projection – Enable or disable the projection feature to display potential upcoming reversal points.
3 — Interpret the Signals
• ZigZag Lines – White lines trace significant high-to-low or low-to-high movements, visually connecting key swing points.
• Pivot Labels – Each pivot is annotated with the exact price level and percentage change, providing quantitative insight into market momentum.
• Trend Projections – When enabled, projected reversal levels offer insight into where the current trend might change.
4 — Integrate with Your Trading Strategy
• Use the indicator to identify support and resistance zones derived from significant pivots.
• Combine the quantitative data (percentage changes) with your risk management strategy to set optimal stop-loss and take-profit levels.
• Experiment with different threshold settings to adapt the indicator for various instruments or market conditions.
█ CONCLUSION
The Percentage-Based ZigZag indicator goes beyond traditional trend-following tools by filtering out market noise and providing clear, quantifiable insights into price action. With its percentage threshold for pivot detection and real-time reversal projections, this original methodology and customizable feature set offer traders a versatile edge for making informed trading decisions.

J2S Backtest: Steven Primo`s Big Trend StrategyIs it possible to benefit from big trend moves? In this study I present you a strategy that aims to capture big trend moves.
Created by trader Steven Primo, The Big Trend strategy is advocates and shared through his YouTube channel without restrictions.
Note:
This is not an investment recommendation. The purpose of this study is only to share knowledge with the community on TradingView.
What is the purpose of the strategy?
The strategy focuses on capturing the movement of trends, providing an entry signal for both LONG and SHORT positions.
To which time-frame of a chart is it applicable to?
According to the author, it is applicable to any chart in different markets.
What about risk management?
The author does not establish a risk management model for strategy. This is left to the definition of each trader.
How are the trends identified in this strategy?
A 20-periods Bollinger Bands with 0.382 deviation should be plotted on the chart. Prices above the upper band indicate an uptrend, on the other hand, prices below the lower band indicate an downtrend. Finally, prices between the two bands indicate sideways trend.
How to identify a signal for LONG entry?
The signal is given after five consecutive closes above the upper Bollinger band. After that, you must enter the trade after the first trade occurs above the high of the signal bar.
How to identify a signal for SHORT entry?
The signal is given after five consecutive closes below the lower Bollinger band. After that, you must enter the trade after the first trade occurs below the low of the signal bar.
Tips and tricks
In my backtest, I tried to prove the strategy from a position trading perspective, so I proposed use fixed stop-loss and take-profits. The stop-loss is defined as being low of the first bar that generated the movement until the signal bar. The value range from the stop-loss to the signal bar is used in determining the profit target. Given any trade, position closing will be triggered when the bar trading limit is reached.
Backtest features
Backtest parameters are fully customizable, for instance: number of bars inside a trend indicating trend maturity for entry, bar limit for trading entry (after a buy or sell signals). Also, the user chooses to validate only LONG or SHORT entries, or both. It is also possible to determine the specific time period for running the backtests.
Final message
In my tests, I noticed excellent results for other crypto pairs, for example: ETH/USDT, BNB/USDT, FIL/USDT, GALA/USDT and ILV/USDT. Of course, no one strategy works perfectly for every asset, crypto, and bond out there. That's why we should explore each trading model and carry out our backtests. Please, feel free to provide me with any improvement suggestions for the backtest script. Bear in mind, feel free to use the ideas in my script in your studies.
