Jason's Simple Moving Averages WaveUnderstanding the Script:
Purpose: This script identifies potential trend direction and momentum using a moving average and wave amplitude calculation. It shows a green line when the price is trending upwards and a red line when trending downwards.
Strategy: This script doesn't provide a complete trading strategy. It's an indicator designed to be used alongside other tools.
Parameters: You can adjust the "Moving Average Length" input to change the sensitivity of the indicator. A shorter length will react quicker to price changes, while a longer length will be smoother but less responsive.
How to Use it:
Load the Script: In TradingView, navigate to the indicator creation section and paste the provided script code.
Adjust Parameters: Set the "Moving Average Length" based on your preferred timeframe and trading style.
Combine with Other Tools: Use the indicator along with other technical indicators or price action analysis to confirm potential entry and exit points for trades.
Here are some additional points to consider:
Crossovers: You could look for buy signals when the price crosses above the green line and sell signals when it crosses below the red line. However, these can be prone to false signals.
Divergence: Look for divergences between the price movement and the wave indicator. For example, a rising price with a falling wave could indicate overbought conditions and a potential reversal.
Confirmation: Don't rely solely on this indicator. Use it alongside other confirmations from price action, volume analysis, or other indicators to identify higher probability trades.

Relative Strength with 3 SMAMansfield RS with 3 SMAs
Overview
The Mansfield Relative Strength (RS) indicator with three Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) enhances traditional RS analysis by adding more clarity and precision to trend identification. This personalized version aims to define RS trends more clearly and end them sooner, helping traders make better-informed decisions.
Key Features
Relative Strength Calculation:
Comparison: Calculates the RS of a chosen symbol against a benchmark (default: S&P 500).
Normalization: Uses the stock’s closing price divided by the closing price of the benchmark over a specified period.
Three SMAs:
Periods: Configurable periods for three SMAs (default: 10, 20, 50).
Trend Smoothing: SMAs help smooth the RS line, making it easier to spot trends and potential reversals.
Visualization:
Area Plot: The RS line is displayed as an area plot.
Color Coding: Different colors for each SMA to distinguish them easily (yellow, orange, purple).
Customization Options:
Comparative Symbol: Choose any benchmark symbol.
Period Adjustment: Customize the periods for both the RS calculation and the SMAs.
Visibility: Option to show or hide the SMAs.
How to Use
Setup:
Add to Chart: Apply the indicator to your TradingView chart.
Customize: Adjust the comparative symbol, RS period, and SMA periods as per your preference.
Interpretation:
Rising RS Line: Indicates the stock is outperforming the benchmark.
Falling RS Line: Suggests underperformance.
SMA Crossovers: Watch for the RS line crossing above or below the SMAs to signal potential buy or sell points.
Trend Direction: SMAs help confirm the trend direction. A rising RS line above the SMAs indicates a strong relative performance.
Trading Strategy:
Trend Confirmation: Use SMA crossovers to confirm trends.
Divergence: Identify divergences between the price action and the RS line for potential reversal signals.
Price Cross ━ [whvntr]This oscillator is an attractive way to view hidden price divergence... The formula originated from the Lark, but I have cleanly displayed this information. When the two moving averages (ema) cross with a simple moving average, you find the hidden price divergence. What kind of market should you use this in? It works well when a trend is already established.
Disclaimer: This indicator does not constitute investment advice. Trade at your own
risk with this method of identifying hidden price divergence.
+ Klinger OscillatorThis is a version of Stephen J. Klinger's, Klinger Oscillator (sometimes called Klinger Volume Oscillator). I've changed virtually nothing about the indicator itself, but added some lookback inputs for the EMAs the oscillator is derived from (traditionally 34 and 55), and added a few other things, as is my wont.
But what is the Klinger Oscillator? Essentially, the calculation looks at the high, low, and close of the current period, and compares that to the previous period's. If it is greater, it adds volume, and if it is less, it subtracts volume. It then takes an EMA of two different lookback periods of that calculation and subtracts one from the other. That's your oscillator. There is then made a signal line of the oscillator that a trader can use, in combination with the zero line, for taking trades. Investopedia has a good article on it, so if you're looking for more specifics, check there.
What I've done is add a selection of different moving averages that you may choose for the signal line. Usually it's a 13 period EMA, and that comes default, but here you could use an ALMA or HMA, or modular filter, etc. Find something that works for your style/algorithm.
Of course there are all the usual additions of mine with the various ways of coloring the indicator and candles, adjustable Donchian Bands, and alerts. A new addition that I've just added to all my indicators (oscillators, anyway) are divergences. This is more or less just a copy and paste of the divergence indicator available in TradingView. In this case you can set it to plot divergences off either the Klinger or the signal line. Depending on which one you choose you may have to adjust pivot lookbacks, and lookback range. I've kept the settings default from the RSI TradingView version.
KDJ stochastic indicatorThis is a special calculation of KDJ indicator. As you may know this is based on stochastic indicator. Stochastic indicator is a method to normalize a trending time serie (here price). the calculation of stochastic itself is a built in function in pine but it is straight forward:
In sudo code:
RSV for n days=(Cn－Ln)/(Hn－Ln)×100
In which, Cn is the closing price on the nth day; Ln is the lowest price in n days; Hn is the highest price in n days.
To calculate other indices K, D and J we use this formulas:
K = (2/3) * K + (1/3) * RSV
D = (2/3) * D + (1/3) * K
J = 3 * K - 2 * D
As you can see it is a recursive calculation. It means any value of the indices are affected by it's own previous value (and I'm passionate about recursive functions!) It may concern you that in the initial calculation there is no previous value and you are right. For the initial values we use value of 50 because it is an oscillator and the mean value is always 50 so we replace the first NAs with 50 using nz() function in pine.
After doing this calculations we reach to the smoothing section. I used simple moving averages, you may replace it with other more advanced smoothing techniqes like EMA or ALMA.
After I wrote this indicator I saw that it is a good indicator for reading divergences. As you can see I showed couple of these divergences to you on the chart. Notice that I analyzed divergence between price and J (very light green) line and not to K or D. I really appreciate any suggestion on this indicator and hope to improve it. The other ones present in the public library wasn't good and they differ a lot in the calculation and also the graphics doesn't look good.
Be free to change the parameter i saw these parameter are good to daily Bitcoin chart.
Open Interest Money Flow Index (OIMFI)CAUTION : This system was inspired from seiglerj' s "Money Flow Index " script. Open Interests are used instead of volume.
What is the Money Flow Index ( MFI )?
The Money Flow Index ( MFI ) is a technical oscillator that uses price and volume for identifying overbought or oversold conditions in an asset. It can also be used to spot divergences which warn of a trend change in price. The oscillator moves between 0 and 100.
Unlike conventional oscillators such as the Relative Strength Index ( RSI ), the Money Flow Index incorporates both price and volume data, as opposed to just price. For this reason, some analysts call MFI the volume-weighted RSI .
What Does the Money Flow Index ( MFI ) Tell You?
One of the primary ways to use the Money Flow Index is when there is a divergence. A divergence is when the oscillator is moving in the opposite direction of price. This is a signal of a potential reversal in the prevailing price trend.
For example, a very high Money Flow Index that begins to fall below a reading of 80 while the underlying security continues to climb is a price reversal signal to the downside. Conversely, a very low MFI reading that climbs above a reading of 20 while the underlying security continues to sell off is a price reversal signal to the upside.
Traders also watch for larger divergences using multiple waves in the price and MFI . For example, a stock peaks at $10, pulls back to $8, and then rallies to $12. The price has made two successive highs, at $10 and $12. If MFI makes a lower higher when the price reaches $12, the indicator is not confirming the new high. This could foreshadow a decline in price.
The overbought and oversold levels are also used to signal possible trading opportunities. Moves below 10 and above 90 are rare. Traders watch for the MFI to move back above 10 to signal a long trade, and to drop below 90 to signal a short trade.
Other moves out of overbought or oversold territory can also be useful. For example, when an asset is in an uptrend, a drop below 20 (or even 30) and then a rally back above it could indicate a pullback is over and the price uptrend is resuming. The same goes for a downtrend. A short-term rally could push the MFI up to 70 or 80, but when it drops back below that could be the time to enter a short trade in preparation for another drop .

VIX on MNQVIX on MNQ — VIX percent-move overlay on the MNQ price scale (daily-open anchor, optional inversion)
Overview
This indicator projects the VIX’s intraday percent change from the daily open onto the MNQ price scale. It takes today’s open for both VIX and MNQ, measures the VIX’s percentage move since that open, optionally inverts it (given the typical inverse relationship), and applies a scale factor to fit that move onto MNQ’s price axis. The result is a single line that reflects VIX dynamics but is plotted in MNQ points—great for reading risk-on/risk-off tone, spotting divergences, and timing mean-reversion around volatility spikes.
How it works
• Fetches VIX close on your chart timeframe and today’s open for VIX and MNQ.
• Computes pct = (VIX_close − VIX_open) / VIX_open.
• Optionally multiplies by −1 (invert) and then by a Scale Factor to compress amplitude.
• Plots MNQ_open * (1 + pct * (invert? −1 : 1) * scaleFactor) as the VIX-on-MNQ line.
• Adds a last-bar label with the current VIX value and a small info panel (VIX, % change, scaled level).
Inputs
• VIX Symbol: VIX, CBOE:VIX, or TVC:VIX (pick the one that matches your data feed).
• VIX Line Color: color of the overlay line.
• Invert VIX: flip the sign to reflect inverse correlation with MNQ.
• Scale Factor (default 0.05): tune how much of the VIX move is mapped onto MNQ points.
Why it’s useful
• Surfaces volatility-led divergences: when MNQ’s path disagrees with VIX’s risk signal.
• Helps confirm/fade breakouts and pullbacks during volatility expansions/compressions.
• Provides a quick, visual “volatility baseline” directly on the MNQ chart without juggling two panes.
Notes & limitations
• This is a percent-rebased overlay, not a hedge ratio, fair value, or spread model.
• It anchors to the current day’s open; session/timezone settings and your VIX symbol choice (CBOE:VIX vs TVC:VIX) can affect exact prints.
• The scale factor is intentionally manual—adjust until the overlay’s swings are visually informative for your setup.

RSI Bollinger Bands [DCAUT]█ RSI Bollinger Bands
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The RSI Bollinger Bands indicator represents a meaningful advancement in momentum analysis by combining two proven technical tools: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Bollinger Bands. This combination addresses a significant limitation in traditional RSI analysis - the use of fixed overbought/oversold thresholds (typically 70/30) that fail to adapt to changing market volatility conditions.
Core Innovation:
Rather than relying on static threshold levels, this indicator applies Bollinger Bands statistical analysis directly to RSI values, creating dynamic zones that automatically adjust based on recent momentum volatility. This approach helps reduce false signals during low volatility periods while remaining sensitive to genuine extremes during high volatility conditions.
Key Enhancements Over Traditional RSI:
Dynamic Thresholds: Overbought/oversold zones adapt to market conditions automatically, eliminating the need for manual threshold adjustments across different instruments and timeframes
Volatility Context: Band width provides immediate visual feedback about momentum volatility, helping traders distinguish between stable trends and erratic movements
Reduced False Signals: During ranging markets, narrower bands filter out minor RSI fluctuations that would trigger traditional fixed-threshold signals
Breakout Preparation: Band squeeze patterns (similar to price-based BB) signal potential momentum regime changes before they occur
Self-Referencing Analysis: By measuring RSI against its own statistical behavior rather than arbitrary levels, the indicator provides more relevant context
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Two-Stage Calculation Process:
Stage 1: RSI Calculation
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
where RS = Average Gain / Average Loss over specified period
The RSI normalizes price momentum into a bounded 0-100 scale, making it ideal for statistical band analysis.
Stage 2: Bollinger Bands on RSI
Basis = MA(RSI, BB Length)
Upper Band = Basis + (StdDev(RSI, BB Length) × Multiplier)
Lower Band = Basis - (StdDev(RSI, BB Length) × Multiplier)
Band Width = Upper Band - Lower Band
The Bollinger Bands measure RSI's standard deviation from its own moving average, creating statistically-derived dynamic zones.
Statistical Interpretation:
Under normal distribution assumptions with default 2.0 multiplier, approximately 95% of RSI values should fall within the bands
Band touches represent statistically significant momentum extremes relative to recent behavior
Band width expansion indicates increasing momentum volatility (strengthening trend or increasing uncertainty)
Band width contraction signals momentum consolidation and potential regime change preparation
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Visual Color Signals:
This indicator features dynamic color fills that highlight extreme momentum conditions:
Green Fill (Above Upper Band):
Appears when RSI breaks above the upper band, indicating exceptionally strong bullish momentum
Represents dynamic overbought zone - not necessarily a reversal signal but a warning of extreme conditions
In strong uptrends, green fills can persist as RSI "rides the band" - this indicates sustained momentum strength
Exit of green zone (RSI falling back below upper band) often signals initial momentum weakening
Red Fill (Below Lower Band):
Appears when RSI breaks below the lower band, indicating exceptionally weak bearish momentum
Represents dynamic oversold zone - potential reversal or continuation signal depending on trend context
In strong downtrends, red fills can persist as RSI "rides the band" - this indicates sustained selling pressure
Exit of red zone (RSI rising back above lower band) often signals initial momentum recovery
Position-Based Signals:
Upper Band Interactions:
RSI Touching Upper Band: Dynamic overbought condition - momentum is extremely strong relative to recent volatility, potential exhaustion or continuation depending on trend context
RSI Riding Upper Band: Sustained strong momentum, often seen in powerful trends, not necessarily an immediate reversal signal but warrants monitoring for exhaustion
RSI Crossing Below Upper Band: Initial momentum weakening signal, particularly significant if accompanied by price divergence
Lower Band Interactions:
RSI Touching Lower Band: Dynamic oversold condition - momentum is extremely weak relative to recent volatility, potential reversal or continuation of downtrend
RSI Riding Lower Band: Sustained weak momentum, common in strong downtrends, monitor for potential exhaustion
RSI Crossing Above Lower Band: Initial momentum strengthening signal, early indication of potential reversal or consolidation
Basis Line Signals:
RSI Above Basis: Bullish momentum regime - upward pressure dominant
RSI Below Basis: Bearish momentum regime - downward pressure dominant
Basis Crossovers: Momentum regime shifts, more significant when accompanied by band width changes
RSI Oscillating Around Basis: Balanced momentum, often indicates ranging market conditions
Volatility-Based Signals:
Band Width Patterns:
Narrow Bands (Squeeze): Momentum volatility compression, often precedes significant directional moves, similar to price coiling patterns
Expanding Bands: Increasing momentum volatility, indicates trend acceleration or growing uncertainty
Narrowest Band in 100 Bars: Extreme compression alert, high probability of upcoming volatility expansion
Advanced Pattern Recognition:
Divergence Analysis:
Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows while RSI touches or stays above previous lower band touch, suggests downward momentum weakening
Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs while RSI touches or stays below previous upper band touch, suggests upward momentum weakening
Hidden Bullish: Price makes higher lows while RSI makes lower lows at the lower band, indicates strong underlying bullish momentum
Hidden Bearish: Price makes lower highs while RSI makes higher highs at the upper band, indicates strong underlying bearish momentum
Band Walk Patterns:
Upper Band Walk: RSI consistently touching or staying near upper band indicates exceptionally strong trend, wait for clear break below basis before considering reversal
Lower Band Walk: RSI consistently at lower band signals very weak momentum, requires break above basis for reversal confirmation
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Strategy 1: Mean Reversion Trading
Setup Conditions:
Market Type: Ranging or choppy markets with no clear directional trend
Timeframe: Works best on lower timeframes (5m-1H) or during consolidation phases
Band Characteristic: Normal to narrow band width
Entry Rules:
Long Entry: RSI touches or crosses below lower band, wait for RSI to start rising back toward basis before entry
Short Entry: RSI touches or crosses above upper band, wait for RSI to start falling back toward basis before entry
Confirmation: Use price action confirmation (candlestick reversal patterns) at band touches
Exit Rules:
Target: RSI returns to basis line or opposite band
Stop Loss: Fixed percentage or below recent swing low/high
Time Stop: Exit if position not profitable within expected timeframe
Strategy 2: Trend Continuation Trading
Setup Conditions:

Timeframe: Medium to higher timeframes (1H-Daily)
Band Characteristic: Expanding or wide bands indicating strong momentum
Entry Rules:
Long Entry in Uptrend: Wait for RSI to pull back to basis line or slightly below, enter when RSI starts rising again
Short Entry in Downtrend: Wait for RSI to rally to basis line or slightly above, enter when RSI starts falling again
Avoid Counter-Trend: Do not fade RSI at bands during strong trends (band walk patterns)
Exit Rules:
Trailing Stop: Move stop to break-even when RSI reaches opposite band
Trend Break: Exit when RSI crosses basis against trend direction with conviction
Band Squeeze: Reduce position size when bands start narrowing significantly
Strategy 3: Breakout Preparation
Setup Conditions:
Market Type: Consolidating market after significant move or at key technical levels
Timeframe: Any timeframe, but longer timeframes provide more reliable breakouts
Band Characteristic: Narrowest band width in recent 100 bars (squeeze alert)
Preparation Phase:
Identify band squeeze condition (bands at multi-period narrowest point)
Monitor price action for consolidation patterns (triangles, rectangles, flags)
Prepare bracket orders for both directions
Wait for band expansion to begin
Entry Execution:
Breakout Confirmation: Enter in direction of RSI band breakout (RSI breaks above upper band or below lower band)
Price Confirmation: Ensure price also breaks corresponding technical level
Volume Confirmation: Look for volume expansion supporting the breakout
Risk Management:
Stop Loss: Place beyond consolidation pattern opposite extreme
Position Sizing: Use smaller size due to false breakout risk
Quick Exit: Exit immediately if RSI returns inside bands within 1-3 bars
Strategy 4: Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Timeframe Selection:
Higher Timeframe: Daily or 4H for trend context
Trading Timeframe: 1H or 15m for entry signals

📈 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Comparison with Traditional RSI:
Fixed Threshold RSI Limitations:
In ranging low-volatility markets: RSI rarely reaches 70/30, missing tradable extremes
In trending high-volatility markets: RSI frequently breaks through 70/30, generating excessive false reversal signals
Across different instruments: Same thresholds applied to volatile crypto and stable forex pairs produce inconsistent results
Threshold Adjustment Problem: Manually changing thresholds for different conditions is subjective and lagging
RSI Bollinger Bands Advantages:
Automatic Adaptation: Bands adjust to current volatility regime without manual intervention
Consistent Logic: Same statistical approach works across different instruments and timeframes
Reduced False Signals: Band width filtering helps distinguish meaningful extremes from noise
Additional Information: Band width provides volatility context missing in standard RSI
Objective Extremes: Statistical basis (standard deviations) provides objective extreme definition
Comparison with Price-Based Bollinger Bands:
Price BB Characteristics:
Measures absolute price volatility
Affected by large price gaps and outliers
Band position relative to price not normalized
Difficult to compare across different price scales
RSI BB Advantages:
Normalized Scale: RSI's 0-100 bounds make band interpretation consistent across all instruments
Momentum Focus: Directly measures momentum extremes rather than price extremes
Reduced Gap Impact: RSI calculation smooths price gaps impact on band calculations
Comparable Analysis: Same RSI BB appearance across stocks, forex, crypto enables consistent strategy application
Performance Characteristics:
Signal Quality:
Higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Dynamic bands help filter RSI oscillations that don't represent meaningful extremes
Context-Aware Alerts: Band width provides volatility context helping traders adjust position sizing and stop placement
Reduced Whipsaws: During consolidations, narrower bands prevent premature signals from minor RSI movements
Responsiveness:
Adaptive Lag: Band calculation introduces some lag, but this lag is adaptive to current conditions rather than fixed
Faster Than Manual Adjustment: Automatic band adjustment is faster than trader's ability to manually modify thresholds
Balanced Approach: Combines RSI's inherent momentum lag with BB's statistical smoothing for stable yet responsive signals
Versatility:
Multi-Strategy Application: Supports both mean reversion (ranging markets) and trend continuation (trending markets) approaches
Universal Instrument Coverage: Works effectively across equities, forex, commodities, cryptocurrencies without parameter changes
Timeframe Agnostic: Same interpretation applies from 1-minute charts to monthly charts
Limitations and Considerations:
Known Limitations:
Dual Lag Effect: Combines RSI's momentum lag with BB's statistical lag, making it less suitable for very short-term scalping
Requires Volatility History: Needs sufficient bars for BB calculation, less effective immediately after major regime changes
Statistical Assumptions: Assumes RSI values are somewhat normally distributed, extreme trending conditions may violate this
Not a Standalone System: Like all indicators, should be combined with price action analysis and risk management
Optimal Use Cases:
Best for swing trading and position trading timeframes
Most effective in markets with alternating volatility regimes
Ideal for traders who use multiple instruments and timeframes
Suitable for systematic trading approaches requiring consistent logic
Suboptimal Conditions:
Very low timeframes (< 5 minutes) where lag becomes problematic
Instruments with extreme volatility spikes (gap-prone markets)
Markets in strong persistent trends where mean reversion rarely occurs
Periods immediately following major structural changes (new trading regime)
USAGE NOTES
This indicator is designed for technical analysis and educational purposes to help traders understand the interaction between momentum measurement and statistical volatility bands. The RSI Bollinger Bands has limitations and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions.
Important Considerations:
No Predictive Guarantee: Past band touches and patterns do not guarantee future price behavior
Market Regime Dependency: Indicator performance varies significantly between trending and ranging market conditions
Complementary Analysis Required: Should be used alongside price action, support/resistance levels, and fundamental analysis
Risk Management Essential: Always use proper position sizing, stop losses, and risk controls regardless of signal quality
Parameter Sensitivity: Different instruments and timeframes may require parameter optimization for optimal results
Continuous Monitoring: Band characteristics change with market conditions, requiring ongoing assessment
Recommended Supporting Analysis:
Price structure analysis (support/resistance, trend lines)
Volume confirmation for breakout signals
Multiple timeframe alignment
Market context awareness (news events, session times)
Correlation analysis with related instruments
The indicator aims to provide adaptive momentum analysis that adjusts to changing market volatility, but traders must apply sound judgment, proper risk management, and comprehensive market analysis in their decision-making process.
Currency Strength v3.0Currency Strength v3.0
Summary
The Currency Strength indicator is a powerful tool designed to gauge the relative strength of major and emerging market currencies. By plotting the True Strength Index (TSI) of various currency indices, it provides a clear visual representation of which currencies are gaining momentum and which are losing it. This indicator automatically detects the currency pair on your chart and highlights the corresponding strength lines, simplifying analysis and helping you quickly identify potential trading opportunities based on currency dynamics.
Key Features
Comprehensive Currency Analysis: Tracks the strength of 19 currencies, including major pairs and several emerging market currencies.
Automatic Pair Detection: Intelligently identifies the base and quote currency of the active chart, automatically highlighting the relevant strength lines.
Dynamic Coloring: The base currency is consistently colored blue, and the quote currency is colored gold, making it easy to distinguish between the two at a glance.
Non-Repainting TSI Calculation: Uses the True Strength Index (TSI) for smooth and reliable momentum readings that do not repaint.
Customizable Settings: Allows for adjustment of the fast and slow periods for the TSI calculation to fit your specific trading style.
Clean Interface: Features a minimalist legend table that only displays the currencies relevant to your current chart, keeping your workspace uncluttered.
How It Works
The indicator pulls data from major currency indices (like DXY for the US Dollar and EXY for the Euro). For currencies that don't have a dedicated index, it uses their USD pair (e.g., USDCNY) and inverts the calculation to derive the currency's strength relative to the dollar. It then applies the True Strength Index (TSI) to this data. The TSI is a momentum oscillator that is less volatile than other oscillators, providing a more reliable measure of strength. The resulting values are plotted on the chart, allowing you to see how different currencies are performing against each other in real-time.
How to Use
Trend Confirmation: When the base currency's line is rising and above the zero line, and the quote currency's line is falling, it can confirm a bullish trend for the pair. The opposite would suggest a bearish trend.
Identifying Divergences: Look for divergences between the currency strength lines and the price action of the pair. For example, if the price is making higher highs but the base currency's strength is making lower highs, it could signal a potential reversal.
Crossovers: A crossover of the base and quote currency lines can signal a shift in momentum. A bullish signal occurs when the base currency line crosses above the quote currency line. A bearish signal occurs when it crosses below.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: The horizontal dashed lines at 0.5 and -0.5 can be used as general guides for overbought and oversold conditions, respectively. Strength moving beyond these levels may indicate an unsustainable move that is due for a correction.
Settings
Fast Period: The short-term period for the TSI calculation. Default is 7.
Slow Period: The long-term period for the TSI calculation. Default is 15.
Index Source: The price source used for the calculations (e.g., Close, Open). Default is Close.
Base Currency Color: The color for the base currency line. Default is Royal Blue.
Quote Currency Color: The color for the quote currency line. Default is Goldenrod.

🔍 What is RACZ?
RACZ stands for Reactive Analytical Confluence Zones.
It’s a high-precision trading tool built for traders who rely on multi-signal confirmation, momentum alignment, and market structure awareness.
Rather than relying on a single technical metric, RACZ dynamically combines RSI, VWAP-RSI, Divergence, ADX, and Volume Analytics to produce a composite signal score from 0 to 12 — the higher the score, the stronger the signal.
⸻
🧠 How It Works – Core Components
1. RSI Analysis
• Detects momentum shifts.
• Compares RSI value to overbought (default: 67) and oversold (default: 33) thresholds.
• Adds points to Bullish or Bearish score.
2. VWAP-RSI
• Uses RSI based on VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price).
• Adds weight to signals influenced by volume-adjusted price movement.
3. Divergence Detection
• Detects potential reversal zones.
• Bullish Divergence: RSI crosses up from low zone.
• Bearish Divergence: RSI crosses down from high zone.
• Strong confluence signal when present.
4. ADX Dynamic Strength Filter
• Custom-calculated ADX (trend strength indicator).
• Uses a dynamic threshold derived from SMA of ADX over a lookback period, scaled by a factor (default 0.9).
• Ensures signals are only validated in strong trend environments.
5. Volume Z-Score
• Detects anomalies in volume behavior.
• Z-score applied to 20-period volume average & deviation.
• Labels spikes, drops, high/low volume conditions.
⸻
📊 Signal Scoring Logic
Each component (RSI, VWAP-RSI, Divergence, ADX) can score up to 3 points each.
• Bullish Score: Total from bullish alignment of each factor.
• Bearish Score: Total from bearish alignment of each factor.
• Signal Power = max(bullish, bearish)
📈 Signal Interpretation
• BUY: Bullish Score > Bearish Score
• SELL: Bearish Score > Bullish Score
• NEUTRAL: Scores are equal
• Signal power is plotted on a 0–12 histogram:
• 0–5 = Weak
• 6–8 = Medium
• 9–12 = Strong (High Confluence Zone)

Rate of Change HistogramExplanation of Modifications
Converting ROC to Histogram:
Original ROC: The ROC is calculated as roc = 100 * (source - source ) / source , plotted as a line oscillating around zero.
Modification: Instead of plotting roc as a line, it’s now plotted as a histogram using style=plot.style_columns. This makes the ROC values visually resemble the MACD histogram, with bars extending above or below the zero line based on momentum.
Applying MACD’s Four-Color Scheme:
Logic: The histogram’s color is determined by:
Above Zero (roc >= 0): Bright green (#26A69A) if ROC is rising (roc > roc ), light green (#B2DFDB) if falling (roc < roc ).
Below Zero (roc < 0): Bright red (#FF5252) if ROC is falling (roc < roc ), light red (#FFCDD2) if rising (roc > roc ).
Implementation: Used the exact color logic and hex codes from the MACD code, applied to the ROC histogram. This highlights momentum ebbs (falling ROC, fading waves) and flows (rising ROC, strengthening waves).
Removing Signal Line:
Unlike the previous attempt, no signal line is added. The histogram is purely the ROC value, ensuring it directly reflects price change momentum without additional smoothing, making it faster and more responsive to pulse waves, as you indicated ROC performs better than other oscillators.
Alert Conditions:
Added alerts to match the MACD’s logic, triggering when the ROC histogram crosses the zero line:
Rising to Falling: When roc >= 0 and roc < 0, signaling a potential wave peak (e.g., end of Wave 3 or C).
Falling to Rising: When roc <= 0 and roc > 0, indicating a potential wave bottom (e.g., start of Wave 1 or rebound).
These alerts help identify transitions in 3-4 wave pulse patterns.
Plotting:
Histogram: Plotted as columns (plot.style_columns) with the four-color scheme, directly representing ROC momentum.
Zero Line: Kept the gray zero line (#787B86) for reference, consistent with the MACD.
Removed ROC Line/Signal Line: Since you want the ROC to act as the histogram itself, no additional lines are plotted.
Inputs:
Retained the original length (default 9) and source (default close) inputs for consistency.
Removed signal-related inputs (e.g., signal_length, sma_signal) as they’re not needed for a pure ROC histogram.
How This ROC Histogram Works for Wave Pulses
Wave Alignment:
Above Zero (Bullish Momentum): Positive ROC bars indicate flows (e.g., impulse Waves 1, 3, or rebounds in Wave B/C). Bright green bars show accelerating momentum (strong pulses), while light green bars suggest fading momentum (potential wave tops).
Below Zero (Bearish Momentum): Negative ROC bars indicate ebbs (e.g., corrective Waves 2, 4, A, or C). Bright red bars show increasing bearish momentum (strong pullbacks), while light red bars suggest slowing declines (potential wave bottoms).
3-4 Wave Pulses:
In a 3-wave A-B-C correction: Wave A (down) shows bright red bars (falling ROC), Wave B (up) shows bright/light green bars (rising ROC), and Wave C (down) shifts back to red bars.
In a 4-wave consolidation: Alternating green/red bars highlight the rhythmic ebbs and flows as momentum oscillates.
Timing:
Zero-line crossovers mark wave transitions (e.g., from Wave 2 to Wave 3).
Color changes (e.g., bright to light green) signal momentum shifts within waves, helping identify pulse peaks/troughs.
Advantages Over MACD:
The ROC histogram is more responsive than the MACD histogram because ROC directly measures price change percentage, while MACD relies on moving average differences, which introduce lag. This makes the ROC histogram better for capturing rapid 3-4 wave pulses, as you noted.
Example Usage
For a stock with 3-4 wave pulses on a 5-minute chart:
Wave 1 (Flow): ROC rises above zero, histogram turns bright green (rising momentum), indicating a strong bullish pulse.
Wave 2 (Ebb): ROC falls below zero, histogram shifts to bright red (falling momentum), signaling a corrective pullback.
Wave 3 (Flow): ROC crosses back above zero, histogram becomes bright green again, confirming a powerful pulse.
Wave 4 (Ebb): ROC dips slightly, histogram turns light green (falling momentum above zero) or light red (rising momentum below zero), indicating consolidation.
Alerts trigger on zero-line crosses (e.g., from Wave 2 to Wave 3), helping time trades.
Settings Recommendations
Default (length=9): Works well for most time frames, balancing sensitivity and smoothness.
Intraday Pulses: Use length=5 or length=7 for faster signals on 5-minute or 15-minute charts.
Daily Charts: Try length=12 or length=14 for broader wave cycles.
Testing: Apply to a stock with clear wave patterns (e.g., tech stocks like AAPL or TSLA) and adjust length to match the pulse frequency you observe.
Notes
Confirmation: Pair the ROC histogram with price action (e.g., Fibonacci retracements, support/resistance) to validate wave counts, as momentum oscillators can be noisy in choppy markets.
Divergences: Watch for divergences (e.g., price makes a higher high, but ROC histogram bars are lower) to spot wave reversals, especially at Wave 3 or C ends.
Comparison to MACD: The ROC histogram is faster and more direct, making it ideal for short-term pulse waves, but it may be more volatile, so use with technical levels for precision.
Volume Delta DashboardHow It Works:
This script creates a Volume Delta Dashboard on TradingView, which helps traders visualize the balance between buying and selling volume (Volume Delta) directly on the chart. Here's a breakdown of the key components:
Volume Delta Calculation:
The script calculates the Volume Delta by comparing the volume of bars where the price closed higher (buying pressure) to those where the price closed lower (selling pressure).
Positive Volume Delta (green background) indicates more buying activity than selling, suggesting upward price movement. Negative Volume Delta (red background) indicates more selling than buying, signaling a potential downward move.
Smoothing with EMA:
To make the volume delta trend smoother and more consistent, an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the Volume Delta is used. This helps to reduce noise and highlight the prevailing buying or selling pressure over a 14-period.
Dynamic Position Selection:
The user can choose where the Volume Delta dashboard table will appear on the chart by selecting a position: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, or bottom-right. This makes the indicator adaptable to different chart setups.
Coloring:
The background of the table changes color based on the value of the Volume Delta. Green indicates a positive delta (more buyers), and Red indicates a negative delta (more sellers).
Use of This Strategy:
This Volume Delta Dashboard strategy is particularly useful for traders who want to:
Monitor Market Sentiment:
By observing the volume delta, traders can get a sense of whether there is more buying or selling pressure in the market. Positive volume delta can indicate a bullish sentiment, while negative delta can point to bearish sentiment.
Confirm Price Action:
The Volume Delta can be used alongside price action to confirm the strength of a price move. For example, if the price is moving up and the volume delta is positive, it suggests that the price increase is supported by buying pressure.
Identify Divergences:
Volume delta can help traders spot divergences between price and volume. For example, if the price is moving higher but the volume delta is negative, it may suggest a weakening trend and a potential reversal.
Optimize Entry/Exit Points:
By understanding the relationship between price movement and volume, traders can make more informed decisions about entering or exiting positions. For instance, a sudden increase in buying volume (positive delta) may indicate a good entry point for a long position.
Overall, the Volume Delta Dashboard can serve as a powerful tool for improving decision-making, by providing real-time insights into market dynamics and trading sentiment.
Adaptive Resonance Oscillator [AlgoAlpha]Introducing the Adaptive Resonance Oscillator , an advanced momentum-based oscillator designed to dynamically adjust to changing market conditions.

Monitor the Charts , switch between smoothed and I smoothed modes to identify trend and price swings, use divergences and reversal signals for potential entry/exits.
Set alerts for bullish/bearish crossovers and divergence signals to stay ahead of market moves.
⚙ How It Works :
The indicator begins by applying a Hilbert Transform frequency estimation to the price series, identifying the dominant market cycle length. This is used to calculate a period for the RSI that matches its resonant frequency with the dominant market frequency, dynamically adjusting the Oscillator. The oscillator then applies an optional Hull Moving Average (HMA) smoothing for signal refinement. Additionally, the indicator scans for bullish and bearish divergences by comparing oscillator movements against price action, plotting signals accordingly. When overbought/oversold conditions or divergence events occur, alerts are triggered to notify the trader in real time.
RSI & DPO support/resistanceThis indicator combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to identify overbought and oversold conditions with the Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) to highlight support and resistance levels.
Unlike traditional indicators that display these metrics in a separate window, this tool integrates them directly onto the main price chart.
This allows for a more cohesive analysis, enabling traders to easily visualize the relationship between price movements and momentum indicators in one unified view.
How to Use It:
Identify Overbought and Oversold Conditions:
Look for RSI values above 70 to identify overbought conditions, suggesting a potential price reversal or pullback. Conversely, RSI values below 30 indicate oversold conditions, which may signal a potential price bounce or upward movement.
Analyze Support and Resistance Levels:
Observe the DPO lines on the main chart to identify key support and resistance levels. When the price approaches these levels, it can provide insights into potential price reversals or breakouts.
Combine Signals for Trading Decisions:
Use the RSI and DPO signals together to make informed trading decisions. For example, if the RSI indicates an overbought condition while the price is near a resistance level identified by the DPO, it may be a good opportunity to consider selling or taking profits.
Monitor Divergences:
Watch for divergences between the RSI and price movements. If the price is making new highs while the RSI is not, it could indicate weakening momentum and a potential reversal.
Set Alerts:
Consider setting alerts for when the RSI crosses above or below the overbought or oversold thresholds, or when the price approaches significant support or resistance levels indicated by the DPO.
Practice Risk Management:
Always use proper risk management techniques, such as setting stop-loss orders and position sizing, to protect your capital while trading based on these indicators.
By following these steps, traders can effectively utilize this indicator to enhance their market analysis and improve their trading strategies.
MERCURY-PRO by DrAbhiramSivprasd“MERCURYPRO”
The MERCURYPRO indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed to provide dynamic trend signals based on a combination of the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) and Standard Deviation (StDev). This indicator helps traders identify trend reversals or continuation based on the behavior of the price and momentum.
Key Features:
• Source Input: The indicator works with any price data, with the default set to close, which represents the closing price of each bar.
• Length Input: A period (default value 9) is used to determine the calculation window for the Chande Momentum Oscillator and Standard Deviation.
• Fixed CMO Length Option: Users can choose whether to use a fixed CMO length of 9 or adjust the length to the user-defined pds value.
• Calculation Method: The indicator allows switching between using the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) or Standard Deviation (StDev) for the momentum calculation.
• Alpha: The smoothing factor used in the calculation of the MERCURYPRO value, which is based on the length of the period input (pds).
Core Calculation:
1. Momentum Calculation: The script calculates the momentum by determining the change in the source price (e.g., close) from one period to the next.
2. Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO): The positive and negative momentum components are calculated and then summed over the specified period. This value is normalized to a percentage to determine the momentum strength.
3. K Value Calculation: The script selects either the CMO or Standard Deviation (depending on the user setting) to calculate the k value, which represents the dynamic price momentum.
4. MERCURYPRO Line: The final output of the indicator, MERCURYPRO, is computed using a weighted average of the k value and the previous MERCURYPRO value. The line is smoothed using the Alpha parameter.
Plot and Signal Generation:
• Color Coding: The line is color-coded based on the direction of MERCURYPRO:
• Blue: The trend is bullish (MERCURYPRO is rising).
• Maroon: The trend is bearish (MERCURYPRO is falling).
• Default Blue: Neutral or sideways market conditions.
• Plotting: The MERCURYPRO line is plotted with varying colors depending on the trend direction.
Alerts:
• Color Change Alert: The indicator has an alert condition based on when the MERCURYPRO line crosses its previous value. This helps traders stay informed about potential trend reversals or continuation signals.
Use Case:
• Trend Confirmation: Traders can use the MERCURYPRO indicator to identify whether the market is in a strong trend or not.
• Signal for Entries/Exits: The color change and crossovers of the MERCURYPRO line can be used as entry or exit signals, depending on the trader’s strategy.
Overall Purpose:
The MERCURYPRO indicator combines momentum analysis with smoothing techniques to offer a dynamic, responsive tool for identifying market trends and potential reversals. It is particularly useful in conjunction with other technical indicators to provide confirmation for trade setups.
How to Use the MERCURYPRO Indicator:
The MERCURYPRO indicator is designed to help traders identify trend reversals and market conditions. Here are a few ways you can use it:
1. Trend Confirmation (Bullish or Bearish)
• Bullish Trend: When the MERCURYPRO line is colored Blue, it indicates a rising trend, suggesting that the market is bullish.
• Action: You can consider entering long positions when the line turns blue, or holding your existing positions if you’re already long.
• Bearish Trend: When the MERCURYPRO line is colored Maroon, it signals a downward trend, indicating a bearish market.
• Action: You may consider entering short positions or closing any long positions when the line turns maroon.
2. Trend Reversal Alerts
• Color Change: The MERCURYPRO indicator changes color when there’s a trend reversal. The alert condition triggers when the MERCURYPRO crosses above or below its previous value, signaling a potential shift in the trend.
• Action: You can use this alert as a signal to monitor potential entry or exit points for trades. For example, a crossover from maroon to blue could indicate a potential buying opportunity, while a crossover from blue to maroon could suggest a selling opportunity.
3. Use with Other Indicators for Confirmation
• While the MERCURYPRO provides valuable trend insights, it’s often more effective when used in combination with other indicators like RSI (Relative Strength Index), MACD, or moving averages to confirm signals.
• Example: If MERCURYPRO turns blue and RSI is above 50, it may signal a strong bullish trend, enhancing the confidence to enter a long trade.
4. Divergence
• Watch for divergence between the MERCURYPRO line and the price chart:
• Bullish Divergence: If the price makes new lows while MERCURYPRO is showing higher lows, it suggests a potential bullish reversal.
• Bearish Divergence: If the price makes new highs while MERCURYPRO is showing lower highs, it suggests a potential bearish reversal.
Example of Use:
• Example 1: If the MERCURYPRO line changes from maroon to blue, you might enter a long position. After the MERCURYPRO line turns blue, use an alert to monitor the price action. If other indicators (like RSI) also suggest strength, your confidence in the trade will increase.
• Example 2: If the MERCURYPRO line shifts from blue to maroon, it could be a signal to close long positions and consider shorting the market if other conditions align (e.g., moving averages also turn bearish).
Warning for Using the MERCURYPRO Indicator:
1. Lagging Indicator:
• The MERCURYPRO is a lagging indicator, meaning it responds to price changes after they have occurred. This may delay entry and exit signals, and it’s crucial to combine it with other leading indicators to get timely information.
2. False Signals in Range-bound Markets:
• In choppy or sideways markets, the MERCURYPRO line can produce false signals, flipping between blue and maroon frequently without showing a clear trend. It’s important to avoid trading based on these false signals when the market is not trending.
3. Overreliance on One Indicator:
• Relying solely on MERCURYPRO can be risky. Always confirm signals with additional tools like volume analysis, price action, or other indicators to increase the accuracy of your trades.
4. Market Conditions Matter:
• The indicator may work well in trending markets, but in highly volatile or news-driven environments, it may provide misleading signals. Ensure that you take market fundamentals and external news events into consideration before acting on the indicator’s signals.
5. Risk Management:
• As with any technical indicator, MERCURYPRO is not infallible. Always use appropriate risk management techniques such as stop-loss orders to protect your capital. Never risk more than you can afford to lose on a trade.
6. Backtest First:
• Before implementing MERCURYPRO in live trading, make sure to backtest it on historical data. Test the strategy with various market conditions to assess its effectiveness and identify any potential weaknesses.
By considering these guidelines and warnings, you can use the MERCURYPRO indicator more effectively and mitigate potential risks in your trading strategy.
