How It Works
Reversal IQ operates on a straightforward heuristic: go long during an extended downside move and go short during an extended upside move.
What defines an "extended move" is determined by IQ Technology, TradingIQ's exclusive AI algorithm. For Reversal IQ, the algorithm assesses the extent to which historical high and low prices are breached. By learning from these price level violations, Reversal IQ adapts to trade future, similar violations in a recurring manner. It calculates a price area, distant from the current price, where a reversal is anticipated.
In simple terms, price peaks (tops) and troughs (bottoms) are stored for Reversal IQ to learn from. The degree to which these levels are violated by subsequent price movements is also recorded. Reversal IQ continuously evaluates this stored data, adapting to market volatility and raw price fluctuations to better capture price reversals.
What classifies as a price top or price bottom?
For Reversal IQ, price tops are considered the highest price attained before a significant downside reversal. Price bottoms are considered the lowest price attained before a significant upside reversal. The highest price achieved is continuously calculated before a significant counter trend price move renders the high price as a swing high. The lowest price achieved is continuously calculated before a significant counter trend price move renders the low price as a swing low.
The image above illustrates the IQ channel and explains the corresponding prices and levels
The blue lower line represents the Long Reversal Level, with the price highlighted in blue showing the Long Reversal Price.
The red upper line represents the Short Reversal Level, with the price highlighted in red showing the Short Reversal Price.
Limit orders are placed at both of these levels. As soon as either level is touched, a trade is immediately executed.

Long Entry: Green Arrow
Short Entry: Red Arrow
Profitable Trades: Blue Arrow
Losing Trades: Red Arrow
IQMA
The IQMA implements a dynamic moving average that adapts to market conditions by adjusting its smoothing factor based on its own slope. This makes it more responsive in volatile conditions (steeper slopes) and smoother in less volatile conditions.
The IQMA is not used by Reversal IQ as a trade condition; however, the IQMA can be used by traders to characterize the overarching trend and elect to trade only long positions during bullish conditions and only short positions during bearish conditions.
The IQMA is an adaptive smoothing function that applies a combination of multiple moving averages to reduce lag and noise in the data. The adaptiveness is achieved by dynamically adjusting the Volatility Factor (VF) based on the slope (derivative) of the price trend, making it more responsive to strong trends and smoother in consolidating markets.
This process effectively makes the moving average a self-adjusting filter, the IQMA attempts to track both trending and ranging market conditions by dynamically changing its sensitivity in response to price movements.
When IQMA is blue, an overarching uptrend is in place. When IQMA is red, an overarching downtrend is in place.
IQ Candles
IQ Candles are price candles color-coordinated with IQMA. IQ Candles help visualize the overarching trend and are not used by Reversal IQ to determine trade entries and trade exits.
AI Aggressiveness
Reversal IQ has only one setting that controls its functionality.
AI Aggressiveness controls the aggressiveness of the AI. This setting has three options: Sniper, Aggressive, and Very Aggressive.
Sniper Mode
In Sniper Mode, Reversal IQ will prioritize trading large deviations from established reversal levels and extracting the largest countertrend move possible from them.
Aggressive Mode
In Aggressive Mode, Reversal IQ still prioritizes quality but allows for strong, quantity-based signals. More trades will be executed in this mode with tighter stops and profit targets. Aggressive mode forces Reversal IQ to learn from narrower raw-dollar violations of historical levels.
Very Aggressive Mode
In Very Aggressive Mode, Reversal IQ still prioritizes the strongest quantity-based signals. Stop and target distances aren't inherently affected, but entries will be aggressive while prioritizing performance. Very Aggressive mode forces Reversal IQ to learn from narrower raw-dollar violations of historical levels and also forces it to embrace volatility more aggressively.
AI Direction
The AI Direction setting controls the trade direction Reversal IQ is allowed to take.
“Both” allows for both long and short trades.
“Long” allows for only long trades.
“Short” allows for only short trades.
Verifying Reversal IQ’s Effectiveness
Reversal IQ automatically tracks its performance and displays the profit factor for the long strategy and the short strategy it uses. This information can be found in a table located in the top-right corner of your chart.
The image above shows the long strategy profit factor and the short strategy profit factor for Reversal IQ.
A profit factor greater than 1 indicates a strategy profitably traded historical price data.
A profit factor less than 1 indicates a strategy unprofitably traded historical price data.
A profit factor equal to 1 indicates a strategy did not lose or gain money when trading historical price data.
Using Reversal IQ
While Reversal IQ is a full-fledged trading system with entries and exits, it was designed for the manual trader to take its trading signals and analysis indications to greater heights - offering numerous applications beyond its built-in trading system.
The hallmark feature of Reversal IQ is its sniper-like reversal signals. While exits are dynamically calculated as well, Reversal IQ simply has a knack for "sniping" price reversals.
When performing live analysis, you can use the IQ Channel to evaluate price reversal areas, whether price has extended too far in one direction, and whether price is likely to reverse soon.
Of course, in times of exuberance or panic, price may push through the reversal levels. While infrequent, it can happen to any indicator.
The deeper price moves into the bullish reversal area (blue) the better chance that price has extended too far and will reverse to the upside soon. The deeper price moves into the bearish reversal area (red) the better chance that price has extended too far and will reverse to the downside soon.
Of course, you can set alerts for all Reversal IQ entry and exit signals, effectively following along its systematic conquest of price movement.

5-0 Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] 0XABCD 50 Harmonic Detector🔵 Introduction
Harmonic patterns are a powerful tool in technical analysis, widely used to detect reversal points and trend changes. Among these, the 5-0 Harmonic Pattern stands out due to its reliance on specific Fibonacci ratios—1.13, 1.618, 2.24, and 0.45 to 0.55—anchored at points 0, X, A, B, C, and D. This pattern provides a structured approach for identifying critical buy and sell points, helping traders achieve optimal entry and exit levels in volatile markets.
This 5-0 Harmonic Pattern indicator automatically detects and marks bullish and bearish formations on the chart, offering precise trading signals based on established harmonic ratios. With its dynamic signals, the 5-0 pattern enables traders to anticipate market movements and capitalize on favorable price trends.
Especially in fast-moving markets, harmonic patterns, particularly the 5-0 Harmonic Pattern, equip traders with an essential framework for identifying reversal opportunities and refining their trading strategies.
Bullish 5-0 Pattern :
Bearish 5-0 Pattern :
🔵 How to Use
The 5-0 Harmonic Pattern indicator is designed to automatically mark the key levels of the harmonic structure: 0, X, A, B, C, and D. By doing so, it detects both bullish and bearish patterns and helps traders recognize optimal entry and exit points.
Formed through specific Fibonacci levels, this pattern signals potential shifts in trend direction, giving traders critical insights for managing entries and exits effectively. The tool proves valuable in high-volatility settings, enabling traders to leverage these signals for refined decision-making.
🟣 Bullish 5-0 Pattern
A bullish 5-0 pattern materializes when Fibonacci levels indicate a potential price reversal to the upside. With points 0, X, A, B, C, and D in alignment, the indicator highlights this upward momentum by displaying a green arrow as a buy signal on the chart. This marking provides a clear entry point, indicating that prices are likely to rise, making it a prime moment for traders to enter long positions.
Additionally, the bullish 5-0 pattern is equipped with tools for traders to set stop-loss and take-profit points based on harmonic lines within the pattern, which represent support and resistance levels. Using these dynamic points, traders can create a more effective risk-reward setup while following the bullish signals in a standalone harmonic strategy.
🟣 Bearish 5-0 Pattern
The bearish 5-0 pattern functions similarly but signals a likely downturn. This pattern emerges when Fibonacci ratios align at points 0, X, A, B, C, and D, predicting a reversal downward. The indicator generates a sell signal, marked by a red arrow, prompting traders to exit long positions or initiate short trades to capitalize on falling prices.
Traders can utilize this bearish pattern for defining exit strategies and setting key levels for stop-loss and take-profit orders. The bearish 5-0 pattern enhances traders’ abilities to gauge critical price levels and manage trade risk effectively, especially in volatile markets. For traders focused on profiting from downward trends, this indicator serves as a powerful tool for timely entries and exits.

Price Action StrategyThe **Price Action Strategy** is a tool designed to capture potential market reversals by utilizing classic reversal candlestick patterns such as Hammer, Shooting Star, Doji, and Pin Bar near dinamic support and resistance levels.
***Note to moderators
- The moving average was removed from the strategy because it was not suitable for the strategy and not participating in the entry or exit criteria.
- The moving average length has been replaced/renamed by the support/resistance lenght.
- The bullish engulfing and bearish engulfing patterns were also removed because in practice they were not working as entry criteria, since the candle price invariably closes far from the support/resistance level even considering the sensitivity range. There was no change in the backtest results after removing these patterns.
### Key Elements of the Strategy
1. Support and Resistance Levels
- Support and resistance are pivotal price levels where the asset has previously struggled to move lower (support) or higher (resistance). These levels act as psychological barriers where buying interest (at support) or selling interest (at resistance) often increases, potentially causing price reversals.
- In this strategy, support is calculated as the lowest low and resistance as the highest high over a 16-period length. When the price nears these levels, it indicates possible zones for a reversal, and the strategy looks for specific candlestick patterns to confirm an entry.
2. Candlestick Patterns
- This strategy uses classic reversal patterns, including:
- **Hammer**: Indicates a buy signal, suggesting rejection of lower prices.
- **Shooting Star**: Suggests a sell signal, showing rejection of higher prices.
- **Doji**: Reflects indecision and potential reversal.
- **Pin Bar**: Represents price rejection with a long shadow, often signaling a reversal.
By combining these reversal patterns with the proximity to dinamic support or resistance levels, the strategy aims to capture potential reversal movements.
3. Sensitivity Level
- The sensitivity parameter adjusts the acceptable range (Default 0.018 = 1.8%) around support and resistance levels within which reversal patterns can trigger trades (i.e. the closing price of the candle must occur within the specified range defined by the sensitivity parameter). A higher sensitivity value expands this range, potentially leading to less accurate signals, as it may allow for more false positives.
4. Entry Criteria
- **Buy (Long)**: A Hammer, Doji, or Pin Bar pattern near support.
- **Sell (Short)**: A Shooting Star, Doji, or Pin Bar near resistance.
5. Exit criteria
- Take profit = 9.5%
- Stop loss = 16%
6. No Repainting
- The Price Action Strategy is not subject to repainting.
7. Position Sizing by Equity and risk management
- This strategy has a default configuration to operate with 35% of the equity. The stop loss is set to 16% from the entry price. This way, the strategy is putting at risk about 16% of 35% of equity, that is, around 5.6% of equity for each trade. The percentage of equity and stop loss can be adjusted by the user according to their risk management.
8. Backtest results
- This strategy was subjected to deep backtest and operations in replay mode on **1000000MOGUSDT.P**, with the inclusion of transaction fees at 0.12% and slipagge of 5 ticks, and the past results have shown consistent profitability. Past results are no guarantee of future results. The strategy's backtest results may even be due to overfitting with past data.
9. Chart Visualization
- Support and resistance levels are displayed as green (support) and red (resistance) lines.
- Only the candlestick pattern that generated the entry signal to triger the trade is identified and labeled on the chart. During the operation, the occurrence of new Doji, Pin Bar, Hammer and Shooting Star patterns will not be demonstrated on the chart, since the exit criteria are based on percentage take profit and stop loss.

Candle Series AnalysisThis advanced indicator is designed to analyze and predict potential market movements based on historical candle series patterns. It goes beyond simple candle-by-candle analysis by examining entire series of consecutive bullish or bearish candles, providing a more comprehensive view of market trends and potential reversals.
The indicator works by identifying the current series of candles (either bullish or bearish) and calculating its percentage change from the start to the current price. It then searches through historical data to find similar candle series patterns, comparing their characteristics to the current one. The analysis includes the series type (bullish or bearish), length (number of candles), and percentage change.
One of the key features of this indicator is its ability to adjust for varying degrees of similarity. Users can set a similarity threshold, allowing them to control how closely historical patterns must match the current one to be considered in the analysis. This flexibility enables traders to fine-tune the indicator to their specific needs and market conditions.
The indicator displays its findings in a customizable table on the chart. The table provides valuable information such as the current series type, length, and percentage change. It also shows the number of similar historical patterns found and the average price change that occurred a specified number of bars after these similar patterns.
Traders can use this information to gain insights into potential future price movements. For example, if the indicator finds that similar bullish series in the past were often followed by a continued uptrend, it might suggest a higher probability of further gains. Conversely, if bearish series typically led to reversals, it could signal a potential buying opportunity.
The script offers extensive customization options. Users can adjust the analysis period, projection length, similarity threshold, table position, text size, and color scheme. This flexibility allows traders to integrate the indicator seamlessly into their existing chart setups and trading strategies.
I personally find this indicator particularly useful for analyzing market behavior in assets that tend to exhibit trending behavior or are subject to momentum effects. It can be especially valuable in markets driven by retail sentiment, such as certain cryptocurrencies or popular stocks. In these markets, the psychology behind consecutive bullish or bearish candles can often create predictable patterns that this indicator aims to identify and quantify.
For instance, in crypto markets, a series of strong bullish candles might indicate growing enthusiasm among retail investors. The indicator can help assess whether such enthusiasm typically leads to further gains or if it often precedes a reversal. This insight can be crucial for timing entries and exits or for setting appropriate stop-loss and take-profit levels.
This indicator is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It should not be considered as financial advice or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any financial instrument. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and all trading carries inherent risks. Users should always conduct their own research, consider their financial situation, and consult with a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions. The creator of this indicator is not responsible for any losses incurred from its use. Remember that financial markets can be highly unpredictable, and no indicator can guarantee accurate predictions of future price movements.
Alternative Shark Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] ALT Shark🔵 Introduction
The Alternative Shark harmonic pattern, similar to the original Shark harmonic pattern introduced by Scott Carney, is a powerful tool in technical analysis used to identify potential reversal zones (PRZ) in financial markets.
These harmonic patterns help traders spot key turning points in market trends by relying on specific Fibonacci ratios. The Alternative Shark pattern is particularly unique due to its distinct Fibonacci retracements within the PRZ, which differentiate it from the standard Shark pattern and provide traders with more precise entry and exit signals.
By focusing on harmonic patterns and utilizing tools like the Harmonic Pattern Indicator, traders can easily identify both the Shark and Alternative Shark patterns, making it easier to find PRZs and capture potential trend reversals. This enhanced detection of potential reversal zones allows for better trade optimization and improved risk management.
Incorporating the Alternative Shark pattern into your technical analysis strategy enables you to enhance your trading performance by identifying market reversals with greater accuracy, improving the timing of your trades, and reducing risks associated with sudden market shifts.
🟣 Understanding the Types of Alternative Shark Pattern
The Alternative Shark harmonic pattern, much like the original Shark pattern, forms at the end of price trends and is divided into two types: Bullish and Bearish Alternative Shark patterns.
Bullish Alternative Shark Pattern :
This pattern typically forms at the end of a downtrend, signaling a potential reversal into an uptrend. Traders can use this pattern to identify buy entry points. The image below illustrates the core components of the Bullish Alternative Shark Pattern.
Bearish Alternative Shark Pattern :
Conversely, the Bearish Alternative Shark Pattern appears at the end of an uptrend and signals a potential reversal to a downtrend. This variation allows traders to adjust their strategies for selling. The image below outlines the characteristics of the Bearish Alternative Shark Pattern.
🟣 Differences Between Shark and Alternative Shark Patterns
Although both patterns share similar structures and serve as tools for identifying price reversals, there is one key difference between them :
AB to XA Ratio : In the Shark pattern, the AB leg retraces between 1 and 2 of the XA leg, whereas in the Alternative Shark pattern, this retracement is reduced to 0.382 to 0.618 of the XA leg. This difference in the retracement ratio leads to slightly different trade signals and can affect the timing of entry and exit points.
Other ratios and reversal signals remain consistent between the two patterns, but this difference in the AB to XA ratio provides traders with more nuanced opportunities to optimize their trades.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Trading with the Bullish Alternative Shark Pattern
The Bullish Alternative Shark Pattern functions similarly to the traditional Bullish Shark, acting as a reversal pattern that helps traders recognize the end of a downtrend and the beginning of an uptrend.
The main distinction lies in the reduced AB retracement, which can offer more refined entry signals. Once the pattern completes, traders can look to enter buy trades and place a stop-loss below the lowest point of the pattern for effective risk management.
🟣 Trading with the Bearish Alternative Shark Pattern
The Bearish Alternative Shark Pattern operates much like the Bearish Shark pattern but with the adjusted AB to XA ratio. This difference provides traders with unique entry points for sell trades. Once the pattern is fully identified, traders can enter short positions, placing a stop-loss above the highest point of the pattern to safeguard against market fluctuations.

🔵 Conclusion
The Alternative Shark harmonic pattern, despite its structural similarity to the traditional Shark pattern, introduces a key difference in the AB to XA ratio, making it a valuable addition to the trader’s toolkit. This subtle variation enables traders to pinpoint reversal points with greater accuracy and fine-tune their trading strategies.
As with any technical pattern, it is crucial to use the Alternative Shark pattern in combination with other technical indicators and strong risk management practices. Incorporating this pattern into a broader trading strategy can help traders enhance their ability to detect and capitalize on market reversals more effectively.

The indicator is able to detect 3 candle patterns and multi candle patterns if detects inside bars in the pattern.
Price Action UltimateThe Price Action Ultimate indicator is an innovative tool designed to provide traders with a comprehensive view of price action based on either volume or touches. By default, the indicator displays touches, offering a unique perspective on price levels that have been frequently interacted with by the market.
At its core, the indicator divides the price range of a specified lookback period into a number of rows (default 25). For each row, it calculates either the volume traded or the number of times the price touched that level. This data is then visualized in two ways: as a histogram and as horizontal lines on the chart.
The histogram, displayed on the right side of the chart, represents the distribution of touches (or volume) across different price levels. Each bar in the histogram shows the number of touches and the percentage of total touches for that price level. The color of the bars ranges from a user-defined low activity color to a high activity color, providing a quick visual reference for the most active price levels.
The horizontal lines drawn across the chart represent the most significant levels based on touches (or volume). By default, the indicator displays the top 3 levels, but this can be adjusted. The thickness of these lines corresponds to the relative importance of each level - thicker lines indicate more touches or higher volume. This feature allows traders to quickly identify key support and resistance levels based on historical price action.
One of the most innovative aspects of this indicator is the option to fade older levels over time. When enabled, this feature gradually increases the transparency of lines as they age, with newer levels appearing more prominently. This helps traders focus on the most recent and relevant price action while still maintaining awareness of older, potentially significant levels.
The indicator offers flexibility in its display options. Users can choose to show levels based on volume, touches, or both. This allows traders to compare and contrast different perspectives on price action. Additionally, the indicator includes options to display a volume profile and a background fill for the analysis range, further enhancing its visual appeal and informational content.
What makes this indicator particularly valuable is its ability to provide a clear, uncluttered view of key price levels without relying on complex calculations or multiple indicators. It distills price action down to its essence - where price has spent the most time or where the most trading activity has occurred. This can be incredibly useful for identifying potential support and resistance levels, areas of consolidation, or possible breakout points.
For traders focused on price action strategies, this indicator offers a powerful tool to enhance their analysis. It provides a data-driven approach to identifying significant price levels, which can be used to inform entry and exit decisions, set stop losses, or anticipate potential market reactions.
This indicator is a tool to aid in market analysis and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Always combine multiple forms of analysis and practice proper risk management when trading. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Three Bar Reversal Pattern [LuxAlgo]The Three Bar Reversal Pattern indicator identifies and highlights three bar reversal patterns on the user price chart.
The script also provides an option for incorporating various trend indicators used to filter out detected signals, allowing them to enhance their accuracy and help obtain a more comprehensive analysis.
🔶 USAGE
The script automates the detection of three-bar reversal patterns and provides a clear, visually identifiable signal for potential trend reversals.
When a reversal chart pattern is confirmed and price action aligns with the pattern, the pattern's boundaries are extended, forming levels, with the upper boundary often acting as a resistance and the lower boundary as a support.
The script allows users to filter patterns based on a specific trend direction detected by multiple trend indicators. Users can choose to view patterns that are either aligned with the detected trend or opposite to it.
Included trend indicators are: Moving Average Cloud, Supertrend, and Donchian Channels.
🔶 DETAILS
The three-bar reversal pattern is a technical analysis pattern that signals a potential reversal in the prevailing trend. The pattern consists of three consecutive bar formations:
First Bar and Second Bar: 2 consecutive of the same sentiment, representing the prevailing trend in the market.
Third Bar: Confirms the reversal by closing beyond the high or low of the first bar, signaling a potential change in market sentiment.
Various types of three-bar reversal patterns are documented. The script supports two main types:
Normal Pattern: Detects three-bar reversal patterns without requiring the third bar closing price to surpass the high (bullish pattern) or low (bearish pattern) of the first bar. It identifies basic formations signaling potential trend reversals.
Enhanced Pattern: Specifically identifies three-bar reversal patterns where the third bar closing price surpasses the high (bullish pattern) or low (bearish pattern) of the first bar. This type provides a more selective signal for stronger trend reversals.
🔶 SETTINGS
Pattern Type: Users can choose the type of 3-bar reversal patterns to detect: Normal, Enhanced, or All. "Normal" detects patterns that do not necessarily surpass the high/low of the first bar. "Enhanced" detects patterns where the third bar surpasses the high/low of the first bar. "All" detects both Normal and Enhanced patterns.
Derived Support and Resistance: Toggles the visibility of the support and resistance levels/zones.
🔹 Trend Filtering
Filtering: Allows users to filter patterns based on the trend indicators: Moving Average Cloud, Supertrend, and Donchian Channels. The "Aligned" option only detects patterns that align with the trend and conversely, the "Opposite" option detects patterns that go against the trend.
🔹 Trend Indicator Settings
Moving Average Cloud: Allows traders to choose the type of moving averages (SMA, EMA, HMA, etc.) and set the lengths for fast and slow-moving averages.
Supertrend: Options to set the ATR length and factor for Supertrend.
Donchian Channels: Option to set the length for the channel calculation.

Volumetric Volatility Breaker Blocks [UAlgo]The "Volumetric Volatility Breaker Blocks " indicator is designed for traders who want a comprehensive understanding of market volatility combined with volume analysis. This indicator provides a clear visualization of significant volatility areas (or blocks), characterized by price movements that exceed a specific volatility threshold, as calculated using the ATR (Average True Range). The concept is enhanced by integrating volume-based insights, offering a view of market activity that helps users to recognize when significant price changes are being supported by an appropriate level of market participation.
The indicator calculates breaker blocks for both bullish and bearish market conditions, providing distinct visual elements that identify periods of high volatility and substantial volume divergence. The focus on both volume and volatility makes this tool versatile, allowing traders to assess the strength of price movements as well as areas where price might break above or below previously established levels.
It supports adjustable parameters, such as volatility length, smoothness factor, and volume display, allowing traders to fine-tune the indicator according to their trading strategy and market environment. The highlighted breaker blocks assist in identifying zones of potential price reversal or continuation, which can be critical for making informed trading decisions.
🔶 Key Features
Volatility-Based Block Identification: The indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) to determine the volatility of the market. When the ATR exceeds a specified threshold (smooth ATR multiplied by a user-defined multiplier), it highlights these areas as volatility blocks. The idea is to mark periods where price activity is significantly divergent from normal conditions, which often signals market opportunities.
Volume Integrated Analysis: In addition to tracking volatility, the indicator incorporates volume data, allowing traders to see the amount of activity that occurs during these high-volatility periods. This helps in identifying whether a price movement is likely sustainable or whether it lacks market support.
User Adjustable Parameters: The indicator offers customization options for the volatility length (using ATR), smooth length, and multiplier for sensitivity adjustment. These settings enable users to modify the indicator’s responsiveness to market conditions.
The option to display the last few volatility blocks allows traders to manage clutter on their charts and focus only on the most recent significant data.
Mitigation Method: Users can select between different mitigation methods ("Close" or "Wick") to determine how blocks are broken. This adds an extra layer of adaptability, allowing traders to modify the indicator's response based on different price action strategies.
Dynamic Visual Representation: The indicator dynamically draws boxes for volatility blocks and shades them according to market direction, with split areas showing the bullish and bearish strength contributions. It also provides percentage volume for each block, helping traders understand the relative market participation during these moves.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
Identifying High Volatility Areas: When a new volatility block appears, it signifies that the market is experiencing higher-than-usual volatility, driven by increased ATR values. Traders should pay attention to these blocks, as they often indicate that a significant price move is occurring. Bullish blocks suggest upward pressure, whereas bearish blocks indicate downward pressure.
Volume Insights: The volume associated with each volatility block provides an insight into how much market participation accompanies these moves. Higher volume within a block implies that the market is actively supporting the price change, which may be a sign of continuation. Low volume suggests that the movement may lack the strength to persist.
Bullish vs. Bearish Strength Analysis: Each block is split into bullish and bearish strength, giving a clearer picture of what’s happening within the volatility period. If the bullish portion dominates, it indicates strong upward sentiment during that period. Conversely, if the bearish side is more prominent, there is more selling pressure. This breakdown helps in understanding intra-block market dynamics.
Volume Percentage Display: The indicator also displays the volume percentage in each block, which provides context for the strength of the move relative to recent market activity. Higher percentages mean more market engagement, which could confirm the legitimacy of a trend or a significant breakout.

RSI Pulsar [QuantraSystems]RSI Pulsar
Introduction
The RSI Pulsar is an advanced and multifaceted tool designed to cater to the varying needs of traders, from long-term swing traders to higher-frequency day traders. This indicator takes the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to new heights by combining several unique methodologies to provide clear, actionable signals across different market conditions. With its ability to analyze impulsive trend strength, volatility, and binary market direction, the RSI Pulsar offers a holistic view of the market that assists traders in identifying robust signals and rotational opportunities within a volatile market.
The integration of dynamic color coding further aids in quick visual assessments, allowing traders to adapt swiftly to changing market conditions, making the RSI Pulsar an essential component in the arsenal of modern traders aiming for precision and adaptability in their trading endeavors.
Legend
The RSI Pulsar encapsulates various modes tailored to diverse trading strategies. The different modes are the:
Impulse Mode:
Focuses on strong outperformance, ideal for capturing movements in highly dynamic tokens.
Trend Following Mode:
A classical perpetual trend-following approach and provides binary long and short signal classifications ideal for medium term swing trading.
Ribbon Mode:
Offers quicker signals that are also binary in nature. Perfect for a confirmation signal when building higher frequency day trading systems.
Volatility Spectrum:
This feature projects a visual 'cloud' representing volatility, which helps traders spot emerging trends and potential breakouts or reversals.
Compressed Mode:
A condensed view that displays all signals in a clean and space-efficient manner. It provides a clear summary of market conditions, ideal for traders who prefer a simplified overview.
Methodology
The RSI Pulsar is built on a foundation of dynamic RSI analysis, where the traditional RSI is enhanced with advanced moving averages and standard deviation calculations. Each mode within the RSI Pulsar is designed to cater to specific aspects of the market's behavior, making it a versatile tool allowing traders to select different modes based on their trading style and market conditions.
Impulse Mode:
This mode identifies strong outperformance in assets, making it ideal for asset rotation systems. It uses a combination of RSI thresholds and dynamic moving averages to pinpoint when an asset is not just trending positively, but doing so with significant strength.
This is in contrast to typical usage of a base RSI, where elevated levels usually signal overbought and oversold periods. The RSI Pulsar flips this logic, where more extreme values are actually interpreted as a strong trend.
Trend Following Mode:
Here, the RSI is compared to the midline (the default is level 50, but a dynamic midline can also be set), to determine the prevailing trend. This mode simplifies the trend-following process, providing clear bullish or bearish signals based on whether the RSI is above or below the midline - whether a fixed or dynamic level.
Ribbon Mode:
This mode employs a series of calculated values derived from modified Heikin-Ashi smoothing to create a "ribbon" that smooths out price action and highlights underlying trends. The Ribbon Mode is particularly useful for traders who need quick confirmations of trend reversals or continuations.
Volatility Spectrum:
The Volatility Spectrum takes a unique approach to measuring market volatility by analyzing the size and direction of Heikin-Ashi candles. This data is used to create a volatility cloud that helps traders identify when volatility is rising, falling, or neutral - allowing them to adjust their strategies accordingly.
When the signal line breaks above the cloud, it signals increasing upwards volatility. When it breaks below it signifies increasing downwards volatility.
This can be used to help identify strengthening and weakening trends, as well as imminent volatile periods, allowing traders to position themselves and adapt their strategies accordingly. This mode also works as a great volatility filter for shorter term day trading strategies. It is incredibly sensitive to volatility divergences, and can give additional insights to larger market turning points.
Compressed Mode:
In Compressed Mode, all the signals from the various modes are displayed in a simplified format, making it easy for traders to quickly assess the market's overall condition without needing to delve into the details of each mode individually. Perfect for only viewing the exact data you need when live trading, or back testing.
Case Study I:
Utilizing ALMA Impulse Mode in High-Volatility Environments
Here, the RSI Pulsar is configured with an RSI length of 9 and an ALMA length of 2 in Impulse Mode. The chart example shows how this setup can identify significant price movements, allowing traders to enter positions early and capture substantial price moves. Despite the fast settings resulting in occasional false signals, the indicator's ability to catch and ride out major trends more than compensates, making it highly effective in volatile environments.
This configuration is suitable for traders seeking to trade quick, aggressive movements without enduring prolonged drawdowns. In Impulse Mode, the RSI Pulsar seeks strong trending zones, providing actionable signals that allow for timely entries and exits.
Case Study II:
SMMA Trend Following Mode for Ratio Analysis
The RSI Pulsar in Trend Following mode, configured with the SMMA with default length settings. This setup is ideal for analyzing longer-term trends, particularly useful in cryptocurrency pairs or ratio charts, where it’s crucial to identify robust directional moves. The chart showcases strong trends in the Solana/Ethereum pair. The RSI Pulsar’s ability to smooth out price action while remaining responsive to trend changes makes it an excellent tool for capturing extended price moves.
The image highlights how the RSI Pulsar efficiently tracks the strength of two tokens against each other, providing clear signals when one asset begins to outperform the other. Even in volatile markets, the SMMA ensures that the signals are reliable, filtering out noise and allowing traders to stay in the trend longer without being shaken out by minor corrections. This approach is particularly effective in ratio trading in order to inform a longer term swing trader of the strongest asset out of a customized pair.
Case Study III:
Monthly Analysis with RSI Pulsar in Ribbon Mode
This case study demonstrates the versatility and reliability of the RSI Pulsar in Ribbon mode, applied to a monthly chart of Bitcoin with an RSI length of 8 and a TEMA length of 14. This setup highlights the indicator’s robustness across multiple timeframes, extending even to long-term analysis. The RSI Pulsar effectively smooths out noise while capturing significant trends, as seen during Bitcoin bull markets. The Ribbon mode provides a clear visual representation of momentum shifts, making it easier for traders to identify trend continuations and reversals with confidence.
Case Study IV:
Divergences and Continuations with the Volatility Spectrum
Identifying harmony/divergences can be hit-or-miss at times, but this unique analysis method definitely has its merits at times. The RSI Pulsar, with its Volatility Spectrum feature, is used here to identify critical moments where price action either aligns with or diverges from the underlying volatility. As seen in the Bitcoin chart (using default settings), the indicator highlights areas where price trends either continue in harmony with volatility or diverge, signaling potential reversals. This method, while not always perfect, provides significant insight during key turning points in the market.
The Volatility Spectrum's visual representation of rising and falling volatility, combined with divergence and harmony analysis, enables traders to anticipate significant shifts in market dynamics. In this case, multiple divergences correctly identified early trend reversals, while periods of harmony indicated strong trend continuations. While this method requires careful interpretation, especially during complex market conditions, it offers valuable signals that can be pivotal in making informed trading decisions, especially if combined with other forms of analysis it can form a critical component of an investing system.

FVG Channel [LuxAlgo]The FVG Channel indicator displays a channel constructed from the averages of unmitigated historical fair value gaps (FVG), allowing to identify trends and potential reversals in the market.
Users can control the amount of FVGs to consider for the calculation of the channels, as well as their degree of smoothness through user settings.
🔶 USAGE
The FVG Channel is constructed by averaging together recent unmitigated Bullish FVGs (contributing to the creation of the upper bands), and Bearish unmitigated FVGs (contributing to the creation of the lower bands) within a lookback determined by the user. A higher lookback will return longer-term indications from the indicator.
The channel includes 5 bands, with one upper and one lower outer extremities, as well as an inner series of values determined using the Fibonacci ratios (respectively 0.786, 0.5, 0.236) from the channel's outer extremities.
An uptrend can be identified by price holding above the inner upper band (obtained from the 0.786 ratio), this band can also provide occasional support when the price retraces to it while in an uptrend.
Breaking below the inner upper band with an unwillingness to reach above again is a clear sign of hesitation in the market and can be indicative of an upcoming consolidation or reversal.
This can directly be applied to downtrends as well, below are examples displaying both scenarios.
Uptrend Example:
Downtrend Example:
🔹 Breakout Levels
When the price mitigates all FVGs in a single direction except for 1, the indicator will display a "Breakout Level". This is the level that price will need to cross in order for all FVGs in that direction to be mitigated, because of this they can also be aptly called "Last Stand Levels".
These levels can be considered as potential support and resistance levels, however, should always be monitored for breakouts since a substantial push above or below these points would indicate strong momentum.
🔹 Signals
The indicator includes Bullish and Bearish Signals, these signals fire when all FVGs for a single direction have been mitigated and an engulfing candle occurs in the opposite direction. These are reversal signals and should be used alongside other indicators to appropriately manage risk.
Note: When all FVGs in a single direction have been mitigated, the candles will change colors accordingly.
🔶 DETAILS
The script uses a typical identification method for FVGs. Once identified, the script collects and stores the mitigation levels of the respective bullish and bearish FVGs:
For Bullish FVGs this is the bottom of the FVG.
For Bearish FVGs this is the top of the FVG.
The data is managed to only consider a specific amount of FVG mitigation levels, determined by the set "Unmitigated FVG Lookback". If an FVG is mitigated, it frees up a spot in the memory for a new FVG, however, if the memory is full, the oldest will be deleted.
The averages displayed (Channel Upper and Lower) are created from 2 calculation steps, the first step involves taking the raw average of the FVG mitigation levels, and the second step applies a simple moving average (SMA) smoothing of the precedent obtained averages.
Note: To view the mitigation levels average obtained in the first step, the "Smoothing Length" can be set to 1.
🔶 SETTINGS
Unmitigated FVG Lookback: Sets the maximum number of Unmitigated FVG mitigation levels that the script will use to calculate the channel.
Smoothing Length: Sets the smoothing length for the channel to reduce noise from the raw data.
Cypher Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Cypher Pattern Detector🔵 Introduction
The Cypher Pattern is one of the most accurate and advanced harmonic patterns, introduced by Darren Oglesbee. The Cypher pattern, utilizing Fibonacci ratios and geometric price analysis, helps traders identify price reversal points with high precision. This pattern consists of five key points (X, A, B, C, and D), each playing an important role in determining entry and exit points in the financial markets.
The reversal point typically occurs in the XD region, with the Fibonacci ratio ranging between 0.768 and 0.886. This zone is referred to as the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ), where traders anticipate price changes to occur.
The Cypher harmonic pattern is popular among professional traders due to its high accuracy in identifying market trends and reversal points. The pattern appears in two forms: bullish Cypher pattern and bearish Cypher pattern.
In the bullish Cypher pattern, after a price correction, the price moves upward, while in the bearish Cypher pattern, the price moves downward after a temporary increase. These patterns help traders use technical analysis to identify strong reversal points in the PRZ and execute more optimal trades.
Bullish Cypher Pattern :
Bearish Cypher Pattern :
🔵 How to Use
The Cypher pattern is one of the most complex and precise harmonic patterns, leveraging Fibonacci ratios to help traders identify price reversals. This pattern is comprised of five key points, each playing a critical role in determining entry and exit points.
The Cypher pattern appears in two main types :
Bullish Cypher pattern : This pattern appears as an M shape on the chart and indicates a trend reversal to the upside after a price correction. Traders can prepare for buying after identifying this pattern in technical analysis.
Bearish Cypher pattern : This pattern appears as a W shape and signals the start of a downtrend after a temporary price increase. Traders can use this pattern to enter short positions.
🟣 How to Identify the Cypher Pattern on a Chart
Identifying the Cypher pattern requires precision and the use of advanced technical analysis tools. The pattern consists of four main legs, each identified using Fibonacci ratios and geometric analysis.
To spot the Cypher pattern on a chart, first, identify the five key points : X, A, B, C, and D.
XA leg : The initial move from point X to A.
AB leg : The first correction after the XA move, where the price moves to point B.
BC leg : After the correction, the price moves upwards to point C.
CD leg : The final price move that reaches point D, where a price reversal is expected.
In a bullish Cypher pattern, point D indicates the start of a new uptrend, while in a bearish Cypher pattern, point D signals the beginning of a downtrend. Correctly identifying these points helps traders determine the best time to enter a trade.
🟣 How to Trade Using the Cypher Pattern
Once the Cypher pattern is identified on the chart, traders can use it to set entry and exit points. Point D is the key point for trade entry. In the bullish Cypher pattern, the trader can enter a long position after point D forms, while in the bearish Cypher pattern, point D serves as the ideal point for entering a short position.
🟣 Entering a Buy Trade with the Bullish Cypher Pattern
In a bullish Cypher pattern, traders wait for the price to reach point D, after which they can enter a buy position. At this point, the price is expected to start rising.
🟣 Entering a Sell Trade with the Bearish Cypher Pattern
In a bearish Cypher pattern, the trader enters a sell position at point D, expecting the price to move downward after reaching this point. For additional confirmation, traders can use technical indicators such as RSI or MACD.
🟣 Risk Management in Cypher Pattern Trades
Risk management is one of the most critical aspects of any trade, and this holds true for trading the Cypher pattern. Traders should always use stop-loss orders to prevent larger losses in case the pattern fails.
In the bullish Cypher pattern, the stop-loss is usually placed slightly below point D to exit the trade if the price continues to drop.
In the bearish Cypher pattern, the stop-loss is placed above point D to limit losses if the price rises unexpectedly.
🟣 Combining the Cypher Pattern with Other Technical Tools
The Cypher pattern is a powerful tool in technical analysis, but combining it with other methods such as price action and technical indicators can improve trading accuracy.
🟣 Combining with Price Action
Traders can use price action to confirm the Cypher pattern. Candlestick patterns like reversal candlesticks can provide additional confirmation for price reversals at point D.
🟣 Using Technical Indicators
Incorporating technical indicators such as RSI and MACD can also help traders receive stronger signals for entering trades based on the Cypher pattern. These indicators help identify overbought or oversold conditions, allowing traders to make more informed decisions.
🟣 Advantages and Disadvantages of the Cypher Pattern in Technical Analysis
Advantages :
High accuracy : The Cypher pattern, using Fibonacci ratios and geometric analysis, provides high precision in identifying reversal points.
Applicable in various markets : This pattern can be used in a wide range of financial markets, including forex, stocks, and cryptocurrencies.
Disadvantages :
Rarit y: The Cypher pattern appears less frequently on charts compared to other harmonic patterns.
Complexity : Accurately identifying this pattern requires significant experience, which may be challenging for novice traders.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Logical Setting
ZigZag Pivot Period : You can adjust the period so that the harmonic patterns are adjusted according to the pivot period you want. This factor is the most important parameter in pattern recognition.
Show Valid Forma t: If this parameter is on "On" mode, only patterns will be displayed that they have exact format and no noise can be seen in them. If "Off" is, the patterns displayed that maybe are noisy and do not exactly correspond to the original pattern.
Show Formation Last Pivot Confirm : if Turned on, you can see this ability of patterns when their last pivot is formed. If this feature is off, it will see the patterns as soon as they are formed. The advantage of this option being clear is less formation of fielded patterns, and it is accompanied by the latest pattern seeing and a sharp reduction in reward to risk.
Period of Formation Last Pivot : Using this parameter you can determine that the last pivot is based on Pivot period.
🟣 Genaral Setting
Show : Enter "On" to display the template and "Off" to not display the template.
Color : Enter the desired color to draw the pattern in this parameter.
LineWidth : You can enter the number 1 or numbers higher than one to adjust the thickness of the drawing lines. This number must be an integer and increases with increasing thickness.
LabelSize : You can adjust the size of the labels by using the "size.auto", "size.tiny", "size.smal", "size.normal", "size.large" or "size.huge" entries.
🟣 Alert Setting
Alert : On / Off
Message Frequency : This string parameter defines the announcement frequency. Choices include: "All" (activates the alert every time the function is called), "Once Per Bar" (activates the alert only on the first call within the bar), and "Once Per Bar Close" (the alert is activated only by a call at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing). The default setting is "Once per Bar".
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : The date, hour, and minute you receive in alert messages can be based on any time zone you choose. For example, if you want New York time, you should enter "UTC-4". This input is set to the time zone "UTC" by default.
🔵 Conclusion
The Cypher harmonic pattern is one of the most powerful and accurate patterns used in technical analysis. Its high precision in identifying price reversal points, particularly within the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ), has made it a popular tool among professional traders. The PRZ, located between the Fibonacci ratios of 0.768 and 0.886 in the XD region, offers traders a clear indication of where price reversals are likely to occur.
However, to use this pattern successfully, traders must employ proper risk management and combine it with supplementary tools like technical indicators and price action. By understanding how to utilize the PRZ, traders can enhance the accuracy of their trade entries and exits.
Ultimately, the Cypher pattern, when used in conjunction with the PRZ, helps traders make more precise decisions in the financial markets, leading to more successful and well-informed trades.
Dynamic Sentiment RSI [UAlgo]The Dynamic Sentiment RSI is a technical analysis tool that combines the classic RSI (Relative Strength Index) concept with dynamic sentiment analysis, offering traders enhanced insights into market conditions. Unlike the traditional RSI, this indicator integrates volume weighting, sentiment factors, and smoothing features to provide a more nuanced view of momentum and potential market reversals. It is designed to assist traders in detecting overbought/oversold conditions, momentum shifts, and to generate potential buy or sell signals using crossover and crossunder techniques. By dynamically adjusting based on sentiment and volume factors, this RSI offers better adaptability to varying market conditions, making it suitable for different trading styles and timeframes.
This tool is particularly helpful for traders who wish to explore not only price movement but also the underlying market sentiment, offering a more comprehensive approach to momentum analysis. The sentiment factor amplifies the RSI's sensitivity to price shifts, making it easier to detect early signals of market reversals or the continuation of a trend.
🔶 Key Features
Dynamic Sentiment Calculation: The indicator incorporates a "Sentiment Factor" that adjusts the RSI length dynamically based on a multiplier, helping traders better understand market sentiment at different time intervals.
Volume Weighting: When enabled, the RSI calculations are weighted by volume, allowing traders to give more importance to price movements with higher trading volume, which may provide more accurate signals.
Smoothing Feature: A customizable smoothing period is applied to the RSI to help filter out noise and make the signal smoother. This feature is particularly useful for traders who prefer to focus on long-term trends while minimizing false signals.
Step Size Customization: A "Step Size" input allows users to round the sentiment RSI to predefined intervals, making the results easier to interpret and act upon. This feature allows you to focus on significant sentiment changes and ignore minor fluctuations.
Crossover/Crossunder Alerts: The indicator includes crossover and crossunder signals on the zero-line, helping traders identify potential buy and sell opportunities as the smoothed RSI crosses these levels.
The indicator offers a clear visual display with multiple color-coded lines and areas:
Sentiment RSI: Plotted as an area chart, color-coded based on sentiment strength.
Raw RSI: A purple line representing the raw adjusted RSI.
Smoothed RSI: A dynamic line, color-coded aqua or orange based on its position relative to the zero line.
Buy/Sell Signals: Triangle shapes are plotted at crossovers and crossunders, providing clear entry and exit points.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
Sentiment RSI
-This line represents the sentiment-adjusted RSI, where the higher the value, the stronger the bullish sentiment, and the lower the value, the stronger the bearish sentiment. It is rounded to step intervals, making it easier to detect significant shifts in sentiment.
- A positive sentiment RSI (above 0) suggests bullish market conditions, while a negative sentiment RSI (below 0) suggests bearish conditions.
Smoothed RSI
The smoothed RSI helps reduce noise and shows the trend more clearly.
Crossovers of the zero line are significant:
- Crossover above zero: Indicates that bullish momentum is building, potentially signaling a buying opportunity.
- Crossunder below zero: Signals a shift towards bearish momentum, potentially indicating a sell signal.
Traders should look for these crossovers in conjunction with other signals for more accurate entry/exit points.
Raw RSI (Adjusted)
The raw adjusted RSI offers a less smoothed, more responsive version of the RSI. While it may be noisier, it provides early signals of market reversals and trends.
Crossover/Crossunder Signals
- When the smoothed RSI crosses above the zero line, a "Signal Up" triangle appears, indicating a potential buying opportunity.
- When the smoothed RSI crosses below the zero line, a "Signal Down" triangle appears, signaling a potential sell opportunity.
These signals help traders time their entries and exits by identifying momentum shifts.
Volume Weighting (Optional)
- If volume weighting is enabled, the RSI will give more weight to periods of higher trading volume, making the signals more reliable when the market is highly active.
Strong Up/Down Levels (40/-40)
- These dotted lines represent extreme sentiment levels. When the sentiment RSI reaches 40 or -40, the market may be nearing an overbought or oversold condition, respectively. This could be a signal for traders to prepare for potential reversals or shifts in momentum.
By combining the various components of this indicator, traders can gain a comprehensive view of market sentiment and price action, helping them make more informed trading decisions. The combination of sentiment factors, volume weighting, and smoothing makes this indicator highly flexible and suitable for a variety of trading strategies.

RSI (Kernel Optimized) | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new KDE Optimized RSI Indicator! This indicator adds a new aspect to the well-known RSI indicator, with the help of the KDE (Kernel Density Estimation) algorithm, estimates the probability of a candlestick will be a pivot or not. For more information about the process, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Features of the new KDE Optimized RSI Indicator :
A New Approach To Pivot Detection
Customizable KDE Algorithm
Realtime RSI & KDE Dashboard
Alerts For Possible Pivots
Customizable Visuals
❓ HOW TO INTERPRET THE KDE %
The KDE % is a critical metric that reflects how closely the current RSI aligns with the KDE (Kernel Density Estimation) array. In simple terms, it represents the likelihood that the current candlestick is forming a pivot point based on historical data patterns. a low percentage suggests a lower probability of the current candlestick being a pivot point. In these cases, price action is less likely to reverse, and existing trends may continue. At moderate levels, the possibility of a pivot increases, indicating potential trend shifts or consolidations.Traders should start monitoring closely for confirmation signals. An even higher KDE % suggests a strong likelihood that the current candlestick could form a pivot point, which could lead to a reversal or significant price movement. These points often align with overbought or oversold conditions in traditional RSI analysis, making them key moments for potential trade entry or exit.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is a widely used oscillator among traders. It outputs a value between 0 - 100 and gives a glimpse about the current momentum of the price action. This indicator then calculates the RSI for each candlesticks, and saves them into an array if the candlestick is a pivot. The low & high pivot RSIs' are inserted into two different arrays. Then the a KDE array is calculated for both of the low & high pivot RSI arrays. Explaining the KDE might be too much for this write-up, but for a brief explanation, here are the steps :
1. Define the necessary options for the KDE function. These are : Bandwidth & Nº Steps, Array Range (Array Max - Array Min)
2. After that, create a density range array. The array has (steps * 2 - 1) elements and they are calculated by (arrMin + i * stepCount), i being the index.
3. Then, define a kernel function. This indicator has 3 different kernel distribution modes : Uniform, Gaussian and Sigmoid
4. Then, define a temporary value for the current element of KDE array.
5. For each element E in the pivot RSI array, add "kernel(densityRange.get(i) - E, 1.0 / bandwidth)" to the temporary value.
6. Add 1.0 / arrSize * to the KDE array.
Then the prefix sum array of the KDE array is calculated. For each candlestick, the index closest to it's RSI value in the KDE array is found using binary search. Then for the low pivot KDE calculation, the sum of KDE values from found index to max index is calculated. For the high pivot KDE, the sum of 0 to found index is used. Then if high or low KDE value is greater than the activation threshold determined in the settings, a bearish or bullish arrow is plotted after bar confirmation respectively. The arrows are drawn as long as the KDE value of current candlestick is greater than the threshold. When the KDE value is out of the threshold, a less transparent arrow is drawn, indicating a possible pivot point.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
This indicator combines RSI & KDE Algorithm to get a foresight of possible pivot points. Pivot points are important entry, confirmation and exit points for traders. But to their nature, they can be only detected after more candlesticks are rendered after them. The purpose of this indicator is to alert the traders of possible pivot points using KDE algorithm right away when they are confirmed. The indicator also has a dashboard for realtime view of the current RSI & Bullish or Bearish KDE value. You can fully customize the KDE algorithm and set up alerts for pivot detection.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. RSI Settings
RSI Length -> The amount of bars taken into account for RSI calculation.

Birdies [LuxAlgo]The Birdies indicator uses a unique technique to provide support/resistance curves based on a circle connecting the last swing high/low.
A specific, customizable part of this circle acts as a curve of interest, which can trigger visual breakout signals.
🔶 USAGE
The script projects a bird-like pattern when a valid Swing point is found. Multiple customization options are included.
🔹 Trend & Support/Resistance Tool
The color fill patterns and the wing boundaries can give insights into the current trend direction as well as serve as potential support/resistance areas.
In the example above, "Birdies" coincide with pullback and support/resistance zones.
🔹 Swing Length & Buffer
Besides the "Swing Length", with higher values returning longer-term Swing Levels, the script's behavior can be fine-tuned with filters ("Settings" - "Validation").
🔹 Validation
To minimize clutter, three filters are included:
Minimum X-Distance: The minimum amount of bars between subsequent Swings
Minimum Y-Distance: The minimum amount of bars between subsequent Swings
Buffer (Multiple of ATR)
The "Minimum X/Y-Distance" creates a zone where a new Swing is considered invalid. Only when the Swing is out of the zone, can it be considered valid.
In other words, in the example above, a Swing High can only be valid when enough bars/time have passed, and the difference between the last Swing and the previous is more than the ATR multiplied by the "Minimum Y-Distance" factor.
The "Buffer" creates a line above/below the "Birdy", derived from the measured ATR at the conception of the "Birdy" multiplied with a factor ("Buffer").
When the closing price crosses the "Birdy", it must also surpass this buffer line to produce a valid signal, lowering the risk of clutter as a result.
🔶 DETAILS
Birdies are derived from a circle that connects two Swing points. The left-wing curve originates from the most recent "Swing point" to the last value on the circle before crossing its midline. The mirror image of the left wing creates the right wing.
Enabling "Origine" will draw a line from the last Swing to the first.
🔹 Style
The publication includes a style setting with four options.
The first, "Birdy," shows a bird-like shape derived from a circle connecting the last Swing High and Swing Low.
The second option holds everything from the first option but connects both wingtips, providing potential horizontal levels of interest.
When setting "Birdy" to "None", the visual breakout signals will not defer from previous settings, but the focus is shifted towards the fill color, which can help detect potential trend shift.
A fourth setting, "Left Wing", will only show the left part of the "Birdy" pattern, removing the right part from the equation. This will change the visual breakout signals, providing alternative signals.
🔶 SETTINGS
Swing Length: The period used for swing detection, with higher values returning longer-term Swing Levels.
🔹 Validation
Minimum X-Distance: The minimum amount of bars between subsequent Swings
Minimum Y-Distance: The minimum amount of bars between subsequent Swings
Buffer (Multiple of ATR)
🔹 Style
Bullish Patterns: Enable / color
Bearish Patterns: Enable / color
Buffer Zone: Show / Color
Color Fill: Show color fill between two Birdies (if available)
Origine: Show the line between both Swing Points
🔹 Calculation
Calculated Bars: Allows the usage of fewer bars for performance/speed improvement
Volatility Trend Bands [UAlgo]The Volatility Trend Bands is a trend-following indicator that combines the concepts of volatility and trend detection. Built using the Average True Range (ATR) to measure volatility, this indicator dynamically adjusts upper and lower bands around price movements. The bands act as dynamic support and resistance levels, making it easier to identify trend shifts and potential entry and exit points.
With the ATR multiplier, this indicator effectively captures volatility-based shifts in the market. The use of midline values allows for accurate trend detection, which is displayed through color-coded signals on the chart. Additionally, this tool provides clear buy and sell signals, accompanied by intuitive graphical markers for ease of use.
The Volatility Trend Bands is ideal for traders seeking an adaptive trend-following method that responds to changing market conditions while maintaining robust volatility control.
🔶 Key Features
Dynamic Support and Resistance: The indicator utilizes volatility to create dynamic bands. The upper band acts as resistance, and the lower band acts as support for the price. Wider bands indicate higher volatility, while narrower bands indicate lower volatility.
Customizable Inputs
You can tailor the indicator to your strategy by adjusting the:
Price Source: Select the price data (e.g., closing price) used for calculations.
ATR Length: Define the lookback period for the Average True Range (ATR) volatility measure.
ATR Multiplier: This factor controls the width of the volatility bands relative to the ATR value.
Color Options: Choose colors for the bands and signal arrows for better visualization.
Visual Signals: Arrows ("▲" for buy, "▼" for sell) appear on the chart when the trend changes, providing clear entry point indications.
Alerts: Integrated alerts for both buy and sell conditions, allowing you to receive notifications for potential trade opportunities.
🔶 Interpreting Indicator
Upper and Lower Bands: The upper and lower bands are dynamic, adjusting based on market volatility using the ATR. These bands serve as adaptive support and resistance levels. When price breaks above the upper band, it indicates a potential bullish breakout, signaling a strong uptrend. Conversely, a break below the lower band signals a bearish breakout, indicating a downtrend.
Buy/Sell Signals: The indicator provides clear buy and sell signals at breakout points. A buy signal ("▲") is generated when the price breaks above the upper band, suggesting the start of a bullish trend. A sell signal ("▼") is triggered when the price breaks below the lower band, indicating the beginning of a bearish trend. These signals help traders identify potential entry and exit points at key breakout levels.
Color-Coded Bars: The bars on the chart change color based on the trend direction. Teal bars represent bullish momentum, while purple bars signify bearish momentum. This color coding provides a quick visual cue about the market's current direction.

Smart Signals Assistant [AlgoAlpha]Introduction
The Smart Signals Assistant, developed by AlgoAlpha, is a robust trading tool designed to empower traders of all levels with a flexible, customizable overlay indicator. Built on proprietary logic, this tool can integrate seamlessly with other indicators or be used as a standalone tool and offers powerful market insights, enabling users to tailor their trading strategy by combining different components for unique strategies. Whether you focus on trend-following or mean-reversion strategies, the Smart Signals Assistant is optimized to support you across various market conditions.
Core Features
1. Trend Cipher Component (Trend Identification and Bar Coloring):
The Trend Cipher is the core feature of the Smart Signals Assistant. It offers an intuitive method to detect trends by displaying clear visual signals, such as arrows ("▲" for bullish trends and "▼" for bearish trends). Additionally, signal strength indications are also included where the arrows will have a '+' sign to signify a strong trend, a strong signal is determined when the volatility of prices are increasing. the candlesticks are color-coded to reflect market conditions—green for bullish, red for bearish, and gray when the market is ranging, ranging markets are marked when the prices end up retracing in the opposite direction after a signal is sent, indicating that buyers/sellers are not ready to continue the trend yet. These added layers of confluence allows users to judge if signals provided by the Trend Cipher are high probability signals.
- Exit Signals : "X" marks indicate potential take-profit points when momentum is waning. Users can set a maximum number of exit signals, allowing for greater control over trade management and predictable exit strategies.
- Customization : Users can adjust the period length for the Trend Cipher to suit different market conditions and strategies. For example, a shorter period is more sensitive and responsive to quick shifts in trends, while a longer period offers more stable signals for long-term traders.(longer periods shown below)
2. Trend Bias Component (Long-term Trend Filter and Confirmation):
The Trend Bias acts as a trend confirmation tool. It comes in the form of a smooth band that reflects the central tendency of price movements. It provides a more comprehensive view of whether the price is trend up or down, as well as whether the price is trending strongly or not. It does so by checking if the current momentum of price is stronger relative to the average momentum over a period of time.
As mentioned earlier, the Trend Bias can also act as a marker of central tendency, meaning that users can use the Trend Bias as a dynamic take-profit zone when executing reversal trades.
- When aligned with the Trend Cipher, the Trend Bias helps traders differentiate between strong and weak trends. Bright colors signify a robust trend, while subdued colors signal weakening momentum. This helps users avoid false signals and enter high-probability trades.
3. Fair Value Trail (Entry Optimization):
The Fair Value Trail is a zone-based component that helps users capture optimal entry points, such as when the market is overbought or oversold. By waiting for price retracements into the Fair Value Trail, traders can achieve better pricing and potentially maximize their profits. The Fair Value Trail is unique in the sense that it dynamically adjusts its width according to the market volatility so that the optimal entry area remains as relevant.
- This feature works in conjunction with the Trend Cipher by allowing users to wait for retracement before entering the trade, thus improving their risk-reward ratio.
4. Trend Spine (Range Detection and Filter):
The Trend Spine helps identify periods of price consolidation by flattening the price action into a rigid line. This helps traders avoid entering trades in choppy or directionless markets. The Trend Spine’s values remain unchanged during consolidations, alerting users when to refrain from trading due to a lack of trend direction.
- This feature integrates with other components, providing clearer signals for trading in trending markets while filtering out trades in ranging or consolidating markets.
5. Firmament Cloud (Reversal Zones):
The Firmament Cloud defines zones on the price chart that are considered extreme, indicating overbought or oversold conditions. Price reaching these zones suggests potential reversal points, giving traders additional confirmation to enter or exit trades. The separation of the upper and lower clouds as well of the width of each respective cloud are dynamically adjusted based on the aggressiveness of price movements coupled with user defined settings for some base parameters such as multipliers for separation and width.
- This component works well for traders using a mean-reversion strategy or those looking for early exits during overextended price movements.
Usage and Customization
The Smart Signals Assistant offers a flexible interface, making it simple to adjust settings such as indicator lengths, noise reduction factors, and display options. Key components, such as the Trend Cipher, Trend Bias, and Fair Value Trail, are highly customizable, allowing traders to create a unique trading system tailored to their specific needs. Tooltips accompany most inputs to help users quickly understand how to adjust the tool effectively.
Combining Components for Synergy
1. Trend Cipher and Trend Bias:
By combining the Trend Cipher with the Trend Bias, users receive both short-term and long-term trend confirmations. A bullish signal from the Trend Cipher, when aligned with an upward-trending Trend Bias, significantly enhances the likelihood of a profitable trade, minimizing the chances of acting on premature signals.
2. Fair Value Trail for Entry Optimization:
Rather than immediately acting on a Trend Cipher signal, users can wait for the price to enter the Fair Value Trail. This strategy ensures better entries at premium or discounted prices, maximizing potential returns.
3. Trend Spine for Range Detection:
The Trend Spine works alongside the Trend Cipher to keep traders out of consolidating markets. When the Trend Spine remains flat, it signals a ranging market, advising users to avoid trades during such periods.
4. Firmament Cloud for Reversal Points:
The Firmament Cloud identifies extreme market conditions, marking zones where traders should be cautious about entering trades. When combined with Trend Cipher signals, this component helps users pinpoint overbought or oversold markets, allowing for strategic entries and exits.
Conclusion
The Smart Signals Assistant is more than just a collection of individual indicators. It offers a comprehensive, multi-layered system that provides a deeper understanding of market dynamics, ranging from trend detection to reversal opportunities. The flexibility in customizing its various components allows traders to craft a strategy suited to their style, whether they prefer trend-following or mean-reversion methods. With this tool, traders can enhance decision-making, optimize entries and exits, and navigate both trending and ranging markets more effectively.
MeanRevert Matrix [StabTrading]MeanRevert Matrix is a sophisticated trading tool designed to detect when prices significantly deviate from their historical averages, signalling potential market trends and reversals.
Leveraging complex algorithms that incorporate human emotions and mean reversion theory, this indicator is the first stage in a comprehensive system for identifying market entry points. Its versatility allows it to be applied across all charts and timeframes, providing traders with clear visual cues for trend analysis and decision-making.
This indicator is purposefully straightforward, allowing traders to observe how the different algorithms work in confluence. The MeanRevert Matrix can be customized to fit individual trading styles, particularly in terms of aggressiveness, making it adaptable to various market conditions. Working in tandem with the FloWave Oscillator, it offers an additional layer of confluence, ensuring that trading signals are more reliable.
💡 Features
Reversal Zones - These zones are integral to the MeanRevert Matrix, highlighting areas where trader emotions and money flow suggest potential longer-term reversals. The lighter shaded zones indicate early-stage reversals, while darker shades signal stronger reversal potential. This feature is designed to help traders anticipate market shifts and prepare for them accordingly.
Localized Mean Reversion Signals - These signals are triggered when the price deviates significantly from the mean, unaffected by longer-term price movements. This localized algorithm helps traders focus on short-term market fluctuations without being influenced by broader trends.
Yellow Signals - These signals identify isolated overbought or oversold conditions. While they often indicate reversal points, they can also signal the beginning of accelerated buying or selling, giving traders early warning of potential market shifts.
Trading Style Customization - The MeanRevert Matrix allows traders to tailor their strategy by adjusting the indicator’s aggressiveness. A more aggressive setting will produce more frequent reversal signals, offering flexibility based on the trader’s risk tolerance and market outlook.
Noise Eliminator - This feature helps traders filter out market noise or manipulation by increasing the noise value. By removing unwanted or misleading signals, it ensures that traders are acting on the most reliable data.
📈 Implementing the System
Step 1 - Begin by observing the localized blue trend to identify reversal points below the mean. Green or red signals within this trend indicate that the price remains within the current market parameters, suggesting that a reversal may occur more quickly. Yellow signals, however, indicate that the trend is likely to continue, so it’s advisable to wait for clearer reversal zones to develop. To avoid misleading signals, consider using higher noise values.
Step 2 - Wait for the reversal zone algorithm to indicate a potential market reversal by showing either light or dark red/green colour. A lighter zone suggests that the overall trend is beginning to reverse, while a darker zone indicates a higher likelihood of reversal.
Step 3 - Once a reversal zone is identified, monitor the trend line for signals that the price is moving significantly away from the mean. This indicates a strong localized price movement that is poised for a reversal. At this stage, you can reduce the noise value and increase the aggressiveness of the trading style to capture more reversal signals.
🛠️ Usage/Practice
In the example above, the indicator is set with neutral aggression for buy signals and lower aggression for sell signals, reflecting the current bull market cycle
Red Reversal Zone - A bearish reversal zone emerges, followed by a darker bearish zone, indicating an increased probability of a trend reversal. The red signals show price reversion from the localized mean, but the absence of yellow signals suggests the reversion isn't abnormally aggressive, making this a good area to consider a short position.
Strong Reversal Opportunity - Similar to point 1, but this time a green signal appears within the bullish dark green zone, highlighting a strong reversal potential. Subsequent red signals suggest opportunities to take profits as the trend faces resistance.
Opportunity to Strengthen Long Position - Once again, the indicator shows a bullish reversal zone without yellow signals. This suggests an area of increased resistance at this price point, offering traders another chance to increase their long positions before the market enters the long bull cycle.
Excessive Buying Pressure - The price has deviated significantly from the mean, triggering a yellow signal. This indicates excessive buying pressure, suggesting the trend is likely to continue upward. Although not an immediate bearish area, the red sell signals suggest it could be a time to conservatively take partial profits.
Trend Weakening - As the trend slows down, bearish zones appear, indicating potential reversal points. As the market shows signs of losing upward momentum, this suggests an opportunity to reduce their long exposure or enter a short trade and take advantage of the correction in the bull cycle.
Potential for Additional Long Position - Despite the earlier sell signals, the overall uptrend remains strong. This presents an opportunity either to add to the long position or to take profits from a previous sell position. The strength of the upward trend suggests that the market may continue higher.
Abnormal Upward Momentum - Similar to points 4 and 5, the yellow signals indicate abnormal price action with aggressive upward momentum. As the trend corrects to a normal range, the price hitting a resistance level is confirmed by the appearance of red reversal zones, suggesting a potential pullback.
Sideways Market Signals - In a sideways market, the indicator shows signals that remain within the normal mean reversion range. These signals are not abnormal and suggest potential entry points for trades within a sideways market, indicating periods where the market lacks strong directional momentum.
🔶 Conclusion
With its seamless integration into various charts and timeframes, the MeanRevert Matrix stands as a reliable and adaptable tool, essential for navigating the complexities of modern markets. By following the implementation guidelines and leveraging its features, traders have the potential to effectively anticipate market movements and optimize their entry and exit points.
We developed this indicator to help traders enhance their understanding of market trends and achieve their trading objectives with greater precision.
FloWave Oscillator [StabTrading]The FloWave Oscillator is a powerful trading tool designed to identify market trends and reversals by analysing reversal zones based on momentum and fear algorithms.
Serving as the first stage in a comprehensive trading system, it is intentionally straightforward, allowing traders to clearly see potential entry points across all charts and timeframes.
By inputting their own market sentiment, traders can customize the algorithm to align with their trading style. This flexibility helps traders navigate complex market environments with greater precision, whether they are seeking to capitalize on short-term opportunities or ride longer-term trends.
💡 Features
Reversal Zones - The FloWave Oscillator identifies key reversal zones driven by momentum and fear dynamics. Lighter green zones signal the initial stages of a potential reversal, while darker green zones indicate that a trend flip is imminent.
Trading Style Customization - The indicator allows traders to adjust their trading style with sensitivity settings ranging from Very Aggressive to Very Conservative. This flexibility lets traders tailor the indicator to their preferred time horizon—whether they seek to scalp short-term opportunities or capture long-term reversals.
🔥 Sensitivity Settings
Very Aggressive/Aggressive - These settings increase the indicator's sensitivity, generating more frequent signals, ideal for traders focused on short-term gains or those navigating choppy markets.
Neutral - Offers a balanced approach, combining both aggressive and conservative elements. It's a starting point for traders to evaluate performance before adjusting to more specific styles.
Conservative/Very Conservative - These settings reduce signal frequency, focusing on stronger, more reliable reversals. Best suited for long-term traders aiming to minimize risk and avoid premature market entries or exits.
🛠️ Usage/Practice
In the above example we’ll analysis how the indicator accurately predicts both the tops and bottoms of a market cycle.
Top of the Bull Market - The trendline initially shows two light red reversal zones, signalling a potential weakening in the upward momentum. As the trend progresses, a dark red zone emerges, confirming that a more substantial trend reversal to the downside is likely. This sequence provides an early warning, allowing traders to prepare for a possible market shift.
First Bull Signal - In the following phase, the indicator mirrors the previous action but in the opposite direction, identifying a reversal towards the upside. This behaviour demonstrates the indicator's ability to adapt to changing market conditions.
Bottom of the Bear Market - As the market continues its downward trajectory, the indicator presents two dark green reversal zones, highlighting areas where the selling pressure may be easing. These dark green zones offer three distinct opportunities to dollar-cost average (DCA) into the asset, allowing traders to build or enhance their positions during the end of the bear cycle. The indicator’s sensitivity in this phase ensures that traders can navigate the bearish market with confidence.
Continuation of Bull Cycle - In this segment, the indicator does not display any dark green reversal zones, implying that the uptrend remains robust. The absence of these zones suggests that the upward momentum is likely to continue, providing traders with another opportunity to add to their long positions. This scenario underscores the indicator’s capacity to identify when a trend is strong enough to warrant additional investment.
Potential Correction in an Uptrend - A light red zone appears, signalling a possible correction within the ongoing uptrend. However, the absence of a dark red zone indicates that the correction may be minor and that the overall trend is still upward. Traders might view this as a conservative point to take some profits off the table, managing risk while staying aligned with the broader bull market.
Bearish Signal - Eventually, a dark red reversal zone emerges, indicating that the trend has lost its upward momentum. This signal serves as a strong indicator that the uptrend may be concluding, prompting traders to consider exiting their positions or taking a more defensive stance. As the market enters a sideways phase, the trader can switch to a more aggressive trading style, seeking opportunities to scalp within the range while navigating the flat market conditions.
In this example, we demonstrate how to identify scalp trading opportunities by combining the Very Conservative and Very Aggressive settings. The key strategy is to use the Very Conservative trend to confirm the validity of reversal zones identified by the Very Aggressive setting.
The VC trend doesn’t indicate a buy reversal zone, but it shows an upward divergence. This suggests that the reversal buy zone on the VA chart is a potential entry point due to the supportive VC trend.
Multiple sell zones appear on the VA chart, but the VC trend shows a strong and steady uptrend. This suggests that we should wait for confirmation from the VC trend before considering a sell position, as the market is still moving upward strongly.
The VA chart shows several buy zones, but the VC trend indicates a strong downtrend, and no buy zone appears on the conservative setting. This suggests waiting for the next VA buy zone, confirmed by an upward divergence on the VC trend, before entering a trade.
Similar to Point 3 but in the opposite direction, the VA chart shows sell zones, but the VC trend indicates caution. The strategy would be to wait for confirmation from the VC trend before making a move.
🔶Conclusion
When used in conjunction with other indicators like the MeanRevert Matrix, the FloWave Oscillator becomes an integral part of a comprehensive trading system. It helps traders make informed decisions by providing clear signals that are aligned with the current market sentiment and broader economic trends. By following the implementation guidelines and adjusting the indicator settings as market conditions change, traders can effectively enhance their trading performance.
Adaptive RSI-Stoch with Butterworth Filter [UAlgo]The Adaptive RSI-Stoch with Butterworth Filter is a technical indicator designed to combine the strengths of the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic Oscillator, and a Butterworth Filter to provide a smooth and adaptive momentum-based trading signal. This custom-built indicator leverages the RSI to measure market momentum, applies Stochastic calculations for overbought/oversold conditions, and incorporates a Butterworth Filter to reduce noise and smooth out price movements for enhanced signal reliability.
By utilizing these combined methods, this indicator aims to help traders identify potential market reversal points, momentum shifts, and overbought/oversold conditions with greater precision, while minimizing false signals in volatile markets.
🔶 Key Features
Adaptive RSI and Stochastic Oscillator: Calculates RSI using a configurable period and applies a dual-smoothing mechanism with Stochastic Oscillator values (K and D lines).
Helps in identifying momentum strength and potential trend reversals.
Butterworth Filter: An advanced signal processing filter that reduces noise and smooths out the indicator values for better trend identification.
The filter can be enabled or disabled based on user preferences.
Customizable Parameters: Flexibility to adjust the length of RSI, the smoothing factors for Stochastic (K and D values), and the Butterworth Filter period.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
RSI & Stochastic Calculations:
The RSI is calculated based on the closing price over the user-defined period, and further smoothed to generate Stochastic Oscillator values.
The K and D values of the Stochastic Oscillator provide insights into short-term overbought or oversold conditions.
Butterworth Filter Application:
What is Butterworth Filter and How It Works?
The Butterworth Filter is a type of signal processing filter that is designed to have a maximally flat frequency response in the passband, meaning it doesn’t distort the frequency components of the signal within the desired range. It is widely used in digital signal processing and technical analysis to smooth noisy data while preserving the important trends in the underlying data. In this indicator, the Butterworth Filter is applied to the trigger value, making the resulting signal smoother and more stable by filtering out short-term fluctuations or noise in price data.
Key Concepts Behind the Butterworth Filter:
Filter Design: The Butterworth filter works by calculating weighted averages of current and past inputs (price or indicator values) and outputs to produce a smooth output. It is characterized by the absence of ripple in the passband and a smooth roll-off after the cutoff frequency.
Cutoff Frequency: The period specified in the indicator acts as a control for the cutoff frequency. A higher period means the filter will remove more high-frequency noise and retain longer-term trends, while a lower period means it will respond more to short-term fluctuations in the data.
Smoothing Process: In this script, the Butterworth Filter is calculated recursively using the following formula,
butterworth_filter(series float input, int period) =>
float wc = math.tan(math.pi / period)
float k1 = 1.414 * wc
float k2 = wc * wc
float a0 = k2 / (1 + k1 + k2)
float a1 = 2 * a0
float a2 = a0
float b1 = 2 * (k2 - 1) / (1 + k1 + k2)
float b2 = (1 - k1 + k2) / (1 + k1 + k2)
wc: This is the angular frequency, derived from the period input.
k1 and k2: These are intermediate coefficients used in the filter calculation.
a0, a1, a2: These are the feedforward coefficients, which determine how much of the current and past input values will contribute to the filtered output.
b1, b2: These are feedback coefficients, which determine how much of the past output values will contribute to the current output, effectively allowing the filter to "remember" past behavior and smooth the signal.
Recursive Calculation: The filter operates by taking into account not only the current input value but also the previous two input values and the previous two output values. This recursive nature helps it smooth the signal by blending the recent past data with the current data.
float filtered_value = a0 * input + a1 * prev_input1 + a2 * prev_input2
filtered_value -= b1 * prev_output1 + b2 * prev_output2
input: The current input value, which could be the trigger value in this case.
prev_input1, prev_input2: The previous two input values.
prev_output1, prev_output2: The previous two output values.
This means the current filtered value is determined by the combination of:
A weighted sum of the current input and the last two inputs.
A correction based on the last two output values to ensure smoothness and remove noise.
In conclusion when filter is enabled, the Butterworth Filter smooths the RSI and Stochastic values to reduce market noise and highlight significant momentum shifts.
The filtered trigger value (post-Butterworth) provides a cleaner representation of the market's momentum.
Cross Signals for Trade Entries:
Buy Signal: A bullish crossover of the K value above the D value, particularly when the values are below 40 and when the Stochastic trigger is below 1 and the filtered trigger is below 35.
Sell Signal: A bearish crossunder of the K value below the D value, particularly when the values are above 60 and when the Stochastic trigger is above 99 and the filtered trigger is above 90.
These signals are plotted visually on the chart for easy identification of potential trading opportunities.
Overbought and Oversold Zones:
The indicator highlights the overbought zone when the filtered trigger surpasses a specific threshold (typically above 100) and the oversold zone when it drops below 0.
The color-coded fill areas between the Stochastic and trigger lines help visualize when the market may be overbought (likely a reversal down) or oversold (potential reversal up).
