How It Works
The Half Trend Regression indicator calculates linear regression lines for the high, low, and close prices over a specified period to determine the general direction of the market. It then computes moving averages and identifies the highest and lowest points within these regression lines to establish a dynamic trend line. The trend direction is determined by comparing the moving averages and previous price levels, updating as new data becomes available. To account for market volatility, the indicator calculates channels above and below the trend line, offset by a multiple of half the Average True Range (ATR). These channels help visualize potential support and resistance zones. The area under the trend line is filled with color corresponding to the current trend direction—green for bullish and red for bearish. When the trend direction changes, the indicator plots arrows on the chart to signal a potential reversal, and alerts can be set up to notify you. By integrating linear regression and ATR-based channels, the indicator provides a comprehensive view of market trends and potential reversal points, aiding traders in making informed decisions.

Fair Value Gap Oscillator | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing the new Fair Value Gap Oscillator (FVG Oscillator) indicator! This unique indicator identifies and tracks Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) in price action, presenting them in an oscillator format to reveal market momentum based on FVG strength. It highlights bullish and bearish FVGs while enabling traders to adjust detection sensitivity and apply volume and ATR-based filters for more precise setups. For more information about the process, check the "📌 HOW DOES IT WORK" section.
Features of the new FVG Oscillator:
Fully Customizable FVG Detection
An Oscillator Approach To FVGs
Divergence Markers For Potential Reversals
Alerts For Divergence Labels
Customizable Styling
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK?
Fair Value Gaps are price gaps within bars that indicate inefficiencies, often filled as the market retraces. The FVG Oscillator scans historical bars to identify these gaps, then filters them based on ATR or volume. Each FVG is marked as bullish or bearish according to the trend direction that preceded its formation.
An oscillator is calculated using recent FVGs with this formula :
1. The Oscillator starts as 0.
2. When a new FVG Appears, it contributes (FVG Width / ATR) to the oscillator of the corresponding type.
3. Each confirmed bar, the oscillator is recalculated as OSC = OSC * (1 - Decay Coefficient)
The oscillator aggregates and decays past FVGs, allowing recent FVG activity to dominate the signal. This approach emphasizes current market momentum, with oscillations moving bullish or bearish based on FVG intensity. Divergences are marked where FVG oscillations suggest potential reversals. Bullish Divergence conditions are as follows :
1. The current candlestick low must be the lowest of last 25 bars.
2. Net Oscillator (Shown in gray line by default) must be > 0.
3. The current Bullish FVG Oscillator value should be no more than 0.1 below the highest value from the last 25 bars.
Traders can use divergence signals to get an idea of potential reversals, and use the Net FVG Oscillator as a trend following marker.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
The Fair Value Gap Oscillator stands out by converting FVG activity into an oscillator format, providing a momentum-based visualization of FVGs that reveals market sentiment dynamically. Unlike traditional indicators that statically mark FVG zones, the oscillator decays older FVGs over time, showing only the most recent, relevant activity. This approach allows for real-time insight into market conditions and potential reversals based on oscillating FVG strength, making it both intuitive and powerful for momentum trading.
Another unique feature is the combination of customizable ATR and volume filters, letting traders adapt the indicator to match their strategy and market type. You can also set-up alerts for bullish & bearish divergences.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Decay Coefficient -> The decay coefficient for oscillators. Increasing this setting will result in oscillators giving the weight to recent FVGs, while decreasing it will distribute the weight equally to the past and recent FVGs.
2. Fair Value Gaps
Zone Invalidation -> Select between Wick & Close price for FVG Zone Invalidation.
Zone Filtering -> With "Average Range" selected, algorithm will find FVG zones in comparison with average range of last bars in the chart. With the "Volume Threshold" option, you may select a Volume Threshold % to spot FVGs with a larger total volume than average.
FVG Detection -> With the "Same Type" option, all 3 bars that formed the FVG should be the same type. (Bullish / Bearish). If the "All" option is selected, bar types may vary between Bullish / Bearish.
Detection Sensitivity -> You may select between Low, Normal or High FVG detection sensitivity. This will essentially determine the size of the spotted FVGs, with lower sensitivies resulting in spotting bigger FVGs, and higher sensitivies resulting in spotting all sizes of FVGs.
3. Style
Divergence Labels On -> You can switch divergence labels to show up on the chart or the oscillator plot.
Trend Strength Momentum Indicator (TSMI)Introducing the Trend Strength Momentum Indicator (TSMI)
With over two decades of experience, I've found that no single indicator can consistently predict market movements. The key lies in combining multiple indicators to capture different market dimensions—trend, momentum, and volume. With this in mind, I present the Trend Strength Momentum Indicator (TSMI), a comprehensive tool designed to spot emerging uptrends and downtrends in cryptocurrency and other asset markets.
1. Overview of TSMI
The TSMI amalgamates three critical market aspects:
Trend Direction and Strength: Utilizing Moving Averages (MA) and the Average Directional Index (ADX).
Momentum: Incorporating the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
Volume Confirmation: Employing the On-Balance Volume (OBV) indicator.
By combining these elements, TSMI aims to provide a robust signal that not only indicates the direction of the trend but also confirms its strength and sustainability through momentum and volume analysis.
2. Components and Calculations
A. Trend Component
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA):
50-day EMA: Captures the short to medium-term trend.
200-day EMA: Reflects the long-term trend.
Average Directional Index (ADX):
Measures the strength of the trend regardless of its direction.
A value above 25 indicates a strong trend, while below 20 suggests a weak or non-trending market.
B. Momentum Component
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD):
Calculated by subtracting the 26-day EMA from the 12-day EMA.
The MACD line crossing above the signal line (9-day EMA of MACD) indicates bullish momentum; crossing below suggests bearish momentum.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
Oscillates between 0 and 100.
Readings above 70 indicate overbought conditions; below 30 suggest oversold conditions.
C. Volume Component
On-Balance Volume (OBV):
Cumulatively adds volume on up days and subtracts volume on down days.
A rising OBV alongside rising prices confirms an uptrend; divergence may signal a reversal.
3. TSMI Calculation Steps
Step 1: Trend Analysis
EMA Crossover:
Identify if the 50-day EMA crosses above the 200-day EMA (Golden Cross), indicating a potential uptrend.
Conversely, if the 50-day EMA crosses below the 200-day EMA (Death Cross), it may signal a downtrend.
ADX Confirmation:
Confirm the strength of the trend. An ADX value above 25 supports the EMA crossover signal.
Step 2: Momentum Assessment
MACD Evaluation:
Look for MACD crossing above its signal line for bullish momentum or below for bearish momentum.
RSI Check:
Ensure RSI is not in overbought (>70) or oversold (<30) territory to avoid potential reversals against the trend.
Step 3: Volume Verification
OBV Direction:
Confirm that OBV is moving in the same direction as the price trend.
Rising OBV with rising prices strengthens the bullish signal; falling OBV with falling prices strengthens the bearish signal.
Step 4: Composite Signal Generation
Bullish Signal:
50-day EMA crosses above 200-day EMA (Golden Cross).
ADX above 25, indicating a strong trend.
MACD crosses above its signal line.
RSI is between 30 and 70, avoiding overbought conditions.
OBV is rising.
Bearish Signal:
50-day EMA crosses below 200-day EMA (Death Cross).
ADX above 25.
MACD crosses below its signal line.
RSI is between 30 and 70, avoiding oversold conditions.
OBV is falling.
4. How to Use the TSMI
A. Entry Points
Buying into an Uptrend:
Wait for the bullish signal criteria to align.
Enter the position after the 50-day EMA crosses above the 200-day EMA, supported by positive momentum (MACD and RSI) and volume (OBV).
Selling or Shorting into a Downtrend:
Look for the bearish signal criteria.
Initiate the position after the 50-day EMA crosses below the 200-day EMA, with confirming momentum and volume indicators.
B. Exit Strategies
Protecting Profits:
Monitor RSI for overbought or oversold conditions, which may indicate potential reversals.
Watch for MACD divergences or crossovers against your position.
Use trailing stops based on the ATR (Average True Range) to allow profits to run while protecting against sharp reversals.
C. Risk Management
Position Sizing:
Use the ADX value to adjust position sizes. A stronger trend (higher ADX) may justify a larger position, whereas a weaker trend suggests caution.
Avoiding False Signals:
Be cautious during sideways markets where EMAs may whipsaw.
Confirm signals with multiple indicators before acting.
5. Examples
Example 1: Spotting an Emerging Uptrend in Bitcoin
Date: Let's assume on March 1st.
Observations:
EMA Crossover: The 50-day EMA crosses above the 200-day EMA.
ADX: Reading is 28, indicating a strong trend.
MACD: Crosses above the signal line and moves into positive territory.
RSI: Reading is 55, comfortably away from overbought levels.
OBV: Shows a rising trend, confirming increasing buying pressure.
Action:
Enter a long position in Bitcoin.
Set a stop-loss below recent swing lows.
Outcome:
Over the next few weeks, Bitcoin's price continues to rise, validating the TSMI signal.
Example 2: Identifying a Downtrend in Ethereum
Date: Let's assume on July 15th.
Observations:
EMA Crossover: The 50-day EMA crosses below the 200-day EMA.
ADX: Reading is 30, confirming a strong trend.
MACD: Crosses below the signal line into negative territory.
RSI: Reading is 45, not yet oversold.
OBV: Declining, indicating selling pressure.
Action:
Initiate a short position or exit long positions in Ethereum.
Place a stop-loss above recent resistance levels.
Outcome:
Ethereum's price declines over the following weeks, confirming the downtrend.
6. When to Use the TSMI
Trending Markets: TSMI is most effective in markets exhibiting clear trends, whether bullish or bearish.
Avoiding Sideways Markets: In range-bound markets, EMAs and momentum indicators may provide false signals. ADX readings below 20 suggest it's best to stay on the sidelines.
Volatile Assets: Particularly useful in cryptocurrency markets, which are known for their volatility and extended trends.
7. Limitations and Considerations
Lagging Indicators: Moving averages and ADX are lagging by nature. Rapid reversals may not be immediately captured.
False Signals: No indicator is foolproof. Always confirm signals with multiple components of TSMI.
Market Conditions: External factors like news events can significantly impact prices. Consider combining TSMI with fundamental analysis.
8. Enhancing TSMI
Customization: Adjust EMA periods (e.g., 20-day and 100-day) based on the asset's volatility and your trading timeframe.
Additional Indicators: Incorporate Bollinger Bands to gauge volatility or Fibonacci retracement levels to identify potential support and resistance.
Conclusion
The Trend Strength Momentum Indicator (TSMI) offers a holistic approach to spotting emerging trends by combining trend direction, momentum, and volume. By synthesizing the strengths of various traditional indicators while mitigating their individual limitations, TSMI provides traders with a powerful tool to navigate the complex landscape of cryptocurrency and other asset markets.
Key Benefits of TSMI:
Comprehensive Analysis: Integrates multiple market dimensions for well-rounded insights.
Early Trend Identification: Aims to spot trends early for optimal entry points.
Risk Management: Helps in making informed decisions, thereby reducing exposure to false signals.
By applying TSMI diligently and complementing it with sound risk management practices, traders can enhance their ability to capitalize on market trends and improve their overall trading performance.
Daily Engulfing Pattern DetectorThis indicator identifies bullish and bearish engulfing patterns on daily timeframes.
A bullish engulfing pattern occurs when a green candle completely engulfs the previous red candle,
taking out its low and closing above both its open and close prices. This suggests a potential trend reversal from bearish to bullish.
A bearish engulfing pattern occurs when a red candle completely engulfs the previous green candle,
taking out its high and closing below both its open and close prices. This suggests a potential trend reversal from bullish to bearish.
Features:
- Works on daily timeframe by default (customizable)
- Displays visual markers: green triangles for bullish patterns, red triangles for bearish patterns
- Includes built-in alerts for both pattern types
Set up alerts by right-clicking the indicator and selecting "Create Alert"
[EmreKb] Combined CandlesThis script combines multiple candlestick patterns into a single, unified candle when they are of the same type (bullish or bearish). Instead of displaying every individual candle on the chart, it merges consecutive candles based on their direction to simplify the visual analysis of price movements.
What It Does:
Combines Candles: If two or more consecutive candles are bullish (close price higher than open price) or bearish (close price lower than open price), the script merges them into a single candle, adjusting the high, low, and close values accordingly.
Displays Merged Candles: The merged candles are drawn on the chart. A green bar represents a bullish period, while a red bar represents a bearish period.
How It Works:
The script tracks whether each candle is bullish or bearish.
If a candle is the same type as the previous one, it updates the combined candle (adjusting the high, low, and close values).
When the type changes (from bullish to bearish or vice versa), it finalizes the current combined candle and starts a new one.
The merged candles are displayed on the chart at the end of the data series.
Use Case:
This script simplifies price action by grouping similar candles together, making it easier to identify trends and spot periods of sustained buying or selling pressure. It can help traders focus on the overall direction of the market rather than being distracted by small fluctuations between individual candles.
CoffeeShopCrytpo Dynamic PPIIn the financial world, the Producer Price Index (PPI) is often used to measure how domestic products are performing over time, indicating the health of the market. Domestic products refer to goods and services that are produced within a specific country’s borders. However, in this indicator, we’ve taken that idea and applied it directly to financial assets, allowing traders to see how an asset is performing relative to its own base value over a given period of time.
Here, the asset’s base value is represented as 100%. When the asset performs above 100%, it's considered to be in a buyer's market—indicating strength and demand. Conversely, if the value dips below 100%, it's operating below its base value, signaling a potential seller's market.
Why This Matters:
This indicator not only converts an asset’s performance into a PPI-style calculation, but it also visualizes price movements as price candles. This dual perspective is crucial, because even if the asset’s performance is over 100%, the closing price might still fall below that threshold—adding nuance to your understanding of market conditions.
Key Features of the Indicator:
Bullish and Bearish Convergence Levels: These levels show whether the market leans bullish or bearish. If the Bullish Convergence level is higher than the Bearish one, the market is bullish, and vice versa. Importantly, these levels can signal shifts in market strength, regardless of where the PPI candles are positioned.
If Bullish Convergence is rising below Bearish, the bearish market is weakening and bullish pressure is growing. Conversely, if Bearish Convergence is falling above Bullish, the bearish side is losing ground.
Market Strength Visualizations:
Strong Bullish Market: Bullish Convergence is higher than Bearish, and it’s still rising.
Strong Bearish Market: Bearish Convergence is above Bullish, and it's climbing.
Weak Bullish Market: Bullish Convergence is above Bearish, but the PPI closes below Bullish Convergence.
Weak Bearish Market: Bearish Convergence is above Bullish, but the PPI closes above Bullish Convergence
Pullbacks:
Bullish Pullback: In a strong bullish market, the PPI shows lower closes below the Bullish Convergence.
Bearish Pullback: In a strong bearish market, the PPI shows higher closes above the Bullish Convergence.
Divergences:
Higher Price, Lower or Flat PPI: This indicates that while the asset’s price is rising, its underlying performance (relative to the PPI’s 100% base level) is not keeping up. Essentially, the asset is reaching new price highs, but its strength or "efficiency" of growth is weakening.
The PPI is designed to show the "return" of an asset's performance relative to its historical movement, so when it lags behind price, it suggests that the price rise may not be sustainable.
When you observe the first high of the PPI level above the bullish convergence level, followed by a second high of the PPI below the bullish convergence level in a bullish market, this creates a divergence.
Example of Divergence in image:
1. First High of PPI Above the Bullish Convergence Level:
This suggests strong bullish momentum. The asset’s performance, as measured by the PPI, is in line with or even outperforming price expectations, indicating the market is experiencing a robust bullish trend. The fact that the PPI level is above the bullish convergence line means that the asset is operating well above its base performance (above 100%) and bullish momentum is clearly dominant.
2. Second High of PPI Below the Bullish Convergence Level:
This marks a potential weakening of the bullish momentum. Although the market is still in a bullish state (since bullish convergence remains above bearish), the PPI failing to reach the bullish convergence level suggests that the asset’s performance is not keeping pace with price action or is underperforming relative to its earlier high.
The fact that this occurs while the market is still bullish (bullish convergence is greater than bearish) can signal a possible pullback or a temporary consolidation phase within the larger bullish trend.
What does a divergence mean:
Momentum Weakening: The second high of the PPI being below the bullish convergence line suggests that while prices may still be increasing, the strength behind the move is fading. The asset is not performing as strongly as it did during the first high, and the market’s confidence or momentum might be softening.
Potential Bullish Pullback: This could indicate that a pullback or correction within the larger bullish trend is underway. Traders might be taking profits, or buyers could be losing enthusiasm, causing the asset to stall temporarily. However, because the overall market remains bullish, this doesn’t necessarily mean a full reversal—just a cooling off period.
Caution in New Long Positions: If you see this divergence, it could be a sign to be more cautious about opening new long positions. It suggests that the asset may need to consolidate or correct before resuming its upward trend, and it’s worth waiting for confirmation of renewed momentum before jumping back in.
ATR Settings
Youll notice there are two ATR settings. One for short term and one for long term.
These values are based on your preferential strategy for what you consider to be long and short term.
The final ATR values are calculated against eachother and applied to the Volatility Label at the end of price.
This label shows you the current ATR as well as the previous candle ATR.
Why this is important:
If the short term ATR is greater than the long term ATR, then volatility is rising in the short term greater than the long term.
This gives your label a value greater than 1.0. This means the short term trend is about to move.
If the long term ATR is greater than the short term ATR, there is no volatility in the short term and only long term exists.
This gives you a value of less than 1.0. This means no volatility or ranging market in the short term.
Directional Targets & POC TableThe "Directional Targets & POC Table" Pine Script™ is a comprehensive tool designed to help traders identify directional bias, potential price targets, and important levels like the Point of Control (POC). Additionally, it detects fair value gaps (FVGs) and order blocks, which are crucial concepts in Smart Money Concepts (SMC) trading. Here's an overview of its functionality:
1. Indicator Overview:
The script combines multiple technical tools into a single visual aid:
Directional Targets: Fibonacci-based upper and lower targets that provide a forecast of where the price might move.
Point of Control (POC): Midpoint of the daily range, displayed visually on the chart.
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): Areas of imbalance in the market, potentially leading to price reversals.
Order Blocks: Areas where institutional traders might have entered large positions, potentially serving as support or resistance.
2. Key Features:
Directional Targets & POC Table:
A table is displayed in the top-right corner of the chart, showing:
Direction: Based on whether the price is above or below the POC.
Target ↑: The upper target, calculated using Fibonacci's 0.618 level, which acts as a potential resistance.
POC: The midpoint between the daily high and low, serving as the central level of interest.
Target ↓: The lower target, also calculated using the 0.618 Fibonacci level, which serves as potential support.
The table uses colors to make each level easily distinguishable, with green for bullish targets, red for bearish, and yellow for the POC.
POC Visualization:
The Point of Control (POC) is drawn on the chart as a box that stretches horizontally. It highlights the central price range where the highest volume or interest may have occurred, providing a key level for traders to watch.
The POC can act as a support or resistance area, with price frequently reacting at or near this level.
FVG Detection:
Fair Value Gaps are identified when there’s a price imbalance between two bars. These gaps occur when the high of one bar is lower than the low of a bar two periods earlier, or vice versa.
The script draws lines at the boundaries of these gaps, helping traders spot potential areas where the price may return to fill the gap.
If the price revisits and fills the gap, the FVG lines are automatically deleted, signaling the gap is no longer relevant.
Order Blocks Detection:
Bullish Order Blocks are detected when a strong bullish candle forms, where the close equals the high, and it’s higher than the previous bar’s low. This represents potential institutional buying interest.
Bearish Order Blocks are detected when a strong bearish candle forms, where the close equals the low, and it’s lower than the previous bar’s high, representing potential selling interest.
The order blocks are drawn as rectangles on the chart, marking significant price zones that may act as future support (bullish) or resistance (bearish).
3. Direction Determination:
The script calculates the daily high, low, and mid-point (POC). If the current price is above the POC, the market is deemed bullish; if it’s below, the market is bearish. If it’s near the POC, the market is considered neutral.
This directional bias is then displayed in the table, giving traders an easy way to assess whether they should be looking for long or short opportunities.
4. Use Case:
This script is particularly useful for traders who:
Want to identify key levels like the POC and potential price targets based on Fibonacci retracement.
Follow Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and need tools to detect FVGs and order blocks, which can signal areas of market imbalance or institutional involvement.
Need a simple visual aid to determine market direction and structure, helping them make informed trading decisions.
5. Additional Features:
The script is highly visual, providing both numeric information in a table and plotted elements (lines, boxes) directly on the chart.
The automatic detection and clearing of FVGs and order blocks make this tool dynamic and easy to follow.
The script helps identify areas where price might react, giving traders a roadmap to follow for potential entries, exits, or take-profit levels.
This indicator is designed for traders looking to incorporate both conventional and advanced concepts like Fibonacci targets, POC, and SMC principles (FVGs and Order Blocks) into their strategy.
Advanced BB Bands with PlotThis code implements an advanced version of Bollinger Bands with additional moving averages, ATR-based bands, step lines, market direction indicators, and real-time data display. Here’s a breakdown of the functionality:
1. Inputs and Parameters:
length: The base period used for calculating the moving averages and the typical price.
atr_length: The length used for calculating the Average True Range (ATR).
step_length: The period for calculating step lines (highest high and lowest low over a given period).
2. Core Calculations:
Typical Price: (high + low + close) / 3 is the base for the moving averages.
ATR: ta.atr(atr_length) is used to create dynamic bands around the moving averages.
PL Dot: An average of the typical prices from the current and past two bars. This provides a short-term trend indicator.
3. Multiple Moving Averages (MAs):
Three simple moving averages (ma1, ma2, ma3) are calculated using different multiples of the base length. These help indicate short-, mid-, and long-term trends.
4. Step Lines:
Step Up: Highest close over the step_length.
Step Down: Lowest close over the step_length. These act as short-term support and resistance levels.
5. Outer Bands:
Upper Band: ma1 + 2 * ATR, an upper boundary based on ATR volatility.
Lower Band: ma1 - 2 * ATR, a lower boundary. Together, these form a dynamic range around the short-term moving average.
6. Market Direction:
Bullish or Bearish condition is determined by comparing ma1 and ma2. If ma1 is above ma2, the market is bullish; otherwise, it's bearish. This decision is displayed on the TradingView chart using a table.
7. Visual Elements:
Moving Averages (ma1, ma2, ma3): Plotted in different colors (blue, purple, white) to indicate different timeframes.
PL Dot: A step line plot for the PL Dot, which helps in spotting short-term trends.
Step Lines: Step-up and step-down levels plotted in lime and red, respectively.
Outer Bands: Upper and lower ATR-based bands plotted in aqua, with a filled region between the bands for easy visualization of price volatility.
Candlestick Coloring: Green bars for bullish and red for bearish price action.
8. Real-Time Board Display:
A table is created in the top-right corner of the chart to display:
The current closing price.
The market direction ("Bullish" or "Bearish").
The PL Dot value. The table updates on the most recent bar (barstate.islast).
9. Dynamic Labels:
On the most recent bar, labels are added dynamically to the upper and lower bands and the ma1. These labels help in identifying the values of key indicators directly on the chart.
10. Signals and Alerts:
Bullish and Bearish Cross: Visual signals are plotted on the chart when ma1 crosses above or below ma2. These are represented as up and down triangles, providing potential buy/sell signals.
Key Features Summarized:
Multi-Timeframe Moving Averages: 3 MAs based on different timeframes.
Dynamic ATR Bands: ATR-based upper and lower boundaries for volatility measurement.
Step Lines: Short-term high and low lines for support/resistance.
PL Dot: A short-term trend identifier.
Real-Time Dashboard: Live updates of price, trend, and PL Dot on the chart.
Visual Alerts: Dynamic labeling and crossover signals to assist in decision-making.
This script is designed for traders who want to track price movement within bands, evaluate trends across multiple timeframes, and visualize short-term market direction with dynamic alerts.

LiquidityFlow Dominance+Alerts (btc.d, T3, Stables)LiquidityFlow Dominance+Alerts: Overview & Usage Guide
Overview
The LiquidityFlow Dominance+Alerts indicator provides a dynamic view of liquidity flow across Bitcoin, Altcoins, and Stablecoins, helping track liquidity shifts and identify market sentiment. By integrating moving averages, custom alerts, and thresholds for extreme outliers, this indicator helps to anticipate bullish and bearish shifts in liquidity and alert market tops and bottoms.
Key features include:
1. Liquidity Flow Monitoring : Track liquidity flow across Bitcoin (BTC), Altcoins (TOTAL3), and Stablecoins (USDT, USDC, DAI).
2. Custom Alerts : Set alerts for key liquidity shifts and extreme conditions in Stablecoin dominance, both with static and moving average (MA)-based calculations.
3. Moving Averages : Use Simple, Exponential, or Weighted Moving Averages to smooth out market data for more reliable signals.
4. Outlier Detection : Identify potential tops and bottoms using thresholds for Stablecoin dominance, with alerts for extreme movements.
Functionality
Data Inputs and Key Metrics
- Symbols Monitored:
- Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D)
- Altcoin Market Cap (TOTAL3)
- Stablecoins (USDT.D, USDC.D, DAI.D)
- Liquidity Flow Conditions:
- Track percentage changes in dominance across sectors to detect liquidity flow into Bitcoin, Altcoins, or Stablecoins.
- Custom Metrics:
- Liquidity Flow Index: BTC Dominance minus Stablecoin Dominance.
- Liquidity Flow Ratio: BTC Dominance divided by the combined dominance of Stablecoins and Altcoins.
Moving Average Integration
- Select from SMA, EMA, or WMA to apply moving averages to the dominance metrics. Moving averages help smooth out short-term volatility and provide more consistent signals.
- Moving averages are applied to each sector (BTC, Altcoins, and Stablecoins) and compared to their previous period values to determine shifts in liquidity.
Alerts and Thresholds
- % Change Lookback Period: Adjust the lookback period to align with the timeframe of your chart. Shorter timeframes may require a lower lookback period, while higher timeframes may benefit from longer periods.
- Stables Bull/Bear % for Alerts: Set a threshold for when Stablecoin dominance becomes a bullish or bearish signal relative to BTC and Altcoins. A higher threshold may be used in volatile markets to filter out noise.
- Extreme Outliers Detection: Use the **Stables Up/Down Extreme Threshold** to identify potential market tops or bottoms when Stablecoin dominance deviates significantly from historical trends. The **Extreme Lookback Period** controls the time window for detecting these anomalies.
How to Use the Indicator
Adjusting the % Change Lookback Period
- The `% Change Lookback Period` should be adjusted based on your chart’s timeframe. For example, a shorter period (e.g., 7) works well for intraday charts, while longer periods (e.g., 14) might be more suitable for daily or weekly charts.
Setting Thresholds for Alerts
- Stables Bull/Bear % for Alerts: Adjust this setting to define when Stablecoin dominance triggers bullish or bearish alerts. A value like 1% could be a good starting point for most market conditions but can be fine-tuned based on volatility.
- Extreme Lookback Period: Define the lookback period for detecting extreme moves in Stablecoin dominance. This will help identify major tops and bottoms in the market. For shorter-term trades, consider using a shorter extreme lookback (e.g., 7-10 periods).
Alerts for Liquidity Shifts
- The indicator supports alerts for key liquidity shifts, which are useful for staying ahead of market movements. Alerts can be set to notify you when liquidity moves into:
- Bitcoin: Indicating a potential bullish trend for Bitcoin.
- Altcoins: Signaling altcoins are bullish.
- Stablecoins: Suggesting a risk-off environment or market correction.
Extreme Alerts for Stables
- Extreme Up/Down Alerts: These are triggered when Stablecoin dominance crosses extreme thresholds. For example, if Stablecoin dominance rises more than 14% over a set period, it could signal a market top, while a significant drop could indicate a market bottom.
Moving Average Calculations
- In addition to static percentage changes, moving averages can be applied to smooth out dominance values. The type and length of the moving average can be customized:
- SMA (Simple Moving Average): Best for smoothing out volatility in a linear way.
- EMA (Exponential Moving Average): More responsive to recent data, making it useful in faster markets.
- WMA (Weighted Moving Average): Emphasizes more recent data, but less reactive than the EMA.
Additional Usage Tips:
- Background Colors: The indicator visually highlights the dominant liquidity flow:
- Orange: Liquidity is shifting toward Bitcoin.
- Aqua: Liquidity is flowing into Altcoins.
- Red: Liquidity is moving into Stablecoins.
Price-Shift Oscillator (PSO)The PSOscillator calculates an oscillator value based on price movements over a specific period. Oscillators like this one are typically used to identify momentum shifts, and trend direction. Here's a breakdown of how the logic behind it works:
Key Concepts for Beginners:
Oscillators:
In this case, the PSOscillator helps indicate whether the market momentum is positive (price might rise) or negative (price might fall).
Input Parameters:
oscPeriod: This is the number of bars (or candles) used to calculate the oscillator. It affects how sensitive the oscillator is to price changes. A lower period makes it more sensitive to short-term movements, while a higher period smoothens it out.
smaPeriod: This is a simple moving average (SMA) applied to the oscillator for additional smoothing, further reducing noise.
Calculation Logic:
The JpOscillator uses recent price data to calculate its value. Specifically, it looks at the closing prices of the current and previous bars (candles). periods ago).
This calculation aims to identify how much recent price action is deviating from past price behavior.
Essentially, it tells us whether the current price is higher or lower relative to the past, and how the trend is evolving over recent periods.
Smoothing:
After calculating the oscillator values, we apply optional smoothing to make it less "jumpy." This is useful in reducing the noise caused by small, insignificant price movements.
The sma_from_array function averages out the recent oscillator values to make the signal smoother, depending on the oscPeriod.
Oscillator Levels:
Above Zero:
If the oscillator is above 0, it means the price is gaining momentum upwards (bullish signal), which is why we color the histogram green.
Below Zero: If the oscillator is below 0, it indicates downward momentum (bearish signal), which is why we color the histogram red.
You can think of the zero line as a "neutral zone." Crossing above it means momentum is shifting to the upside, and crossing below it means momentum is shifting to the downside.
Histogram Plotting:
The values of the oscillator are plotted as a histogram (bars). The color changes based on whether the oscillator is above or below zero (green for positive and red for negative momentum).
The moving average (SMA) of the oscillator is plotted as a line to help identify trends over time.
Using two different coloring methods for a histogram in a trading strategy can provide a trader with distinct, layered information about market conditions, trends, and momentum shifts. Each coloring method can highlight different aspects of the price action or the oscillator behavior. Here’s how a trader might use both methods to their advantage:
ETHUSDT Daily
1. Color Based on Oscillator Position Relative to Zero
This method colors the histogram green when the oscillator value is above zero and red when it's below zero. This coloring strategy is straightforward and helps a trader quickly identify whether the market's momentum is generally bullish or bearish.
Advantages:
Trend Confirmation: When the oscillator remains above zero and green, it can confirm a bullish trend, and vice versa for a bearish trend with red colors below zero.
Quick Visual Reference: Easy to see at a glance, helping in fast decision-making processes.
2. Color Based on the Change of the Oscillator
This method changes the color based on whether the oscillator is increasing or decreasing compared to its previous value. For instance, a darker shade of green might be used if the oscillator value is rising from one period to the next, indicating increasing bullish momentum, and a darker red if declining, indicating increasing bearish momentum.
Advantages:
Momentum Insight: This coloring method gives insights into the strength of the movement. An oscillator that is increasing (even below zero) might suggest a weakening of a bearish trend or the start of a bullish reversal.
Detecting Reversals: Seeing the oscillator rise from negative to less negative or drop from positive to less positive can alert traders to potential early reversals before they cross the zero line.
Strategic Use in Trading:
A trader can use these two methods together by applying a multi-layered approach to analyze the oscillator:
Overall Trend Assessment:
Above Zero (Green): Considered bullish; look for buy opportunities, especially if the color gets brighter (indicating strengthening).
Below Zero (Red): Considered bearish; look for sell opportunities, especially if the color gets darker (indicating strengthening).
Short-Term Momentum and Entries:
Brightening Green: Could indicate a good time to enter or add to long positions as bullish momentum increases.
Darkening Red: Could indicate a good time to enter or add to short positions as bearish momentum increases.
Lightening Color: If red starts to lighten (become less intense), it might suggest a bearish trend is losing steam, which could be an exit signal for shorts or an early warning for a potential long setup.
Risk Management:
Switch in Color Intensity: A sudden change in color intensity can be used as a trigger for tightening stops or taking partial profits, helping manage risk by responding to changes in market momentum.
E9 Shark-32 PatternUnderstanding the Shark-32 Pattern and its Trading Applications
The Shark-32 Pattern is a bearish technical trading formation used to predict market reversals or trend continuations. It highlights a downward move followed by a corrective rally, signaling a potential resumption of the downtrend. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
What is the Shark-32 Pattern?
The Shark-32 pattern is a five-wave structure typically observed in bearish markets:
Wave 0 to X: A significant price decline starts the pattern.
Wave X to A: A correction pushes the price slightly upward.
Wave A to B: The price drops again but doesn’t reach the initial low.
Wave B to C: A final sharp decline concludes the pattern.
Once Wave C is formed, it suggests that the market will continue to move downward, presenting a potential selling or shorting opportunity.
Using the Pattern in Trading
This pattern is valuable for traders seeking high-probability bearish setups. The goal is to capitalize on the continuation of a downtrend following the corrective rally (X to A). Identifying the Shark-32 pattern helps anticipate the next wave of selling pressure.
Trading Setup
Identify a Shark-32 pattern.
If the price closes above the pattern's high, buy at the open the next day.
If the price closes below the pattern's low, short at the open the next day.
Sell/cover when the price moves 7% in the direction of the breakout.
Close the trade for a loss if the price moves 7% in the opposite direction.
For example, in a bull market after an upward breakout from a Shark-32, the net gain was $69.55. The method won 56% of the time with 5,218 winning trades and an average gain of $714.07. Conversely, 44% of trades were losers, with an average loss of $747.33. The average holding period was 26 calendar days.
The gains and losses were closely aligned with the 7% threshold set for this test.
Key Target Levels
To enhance the strategy, use dotted projection lines as target levels:
Upper Target: Drawn above the high of the corrective rally (Wave A). If the price breaks above this line, it may signal further upward movement, indicating a potentially weaker downtrend.
Lower Target: Positioned below the low of Wave C, providing a target for bearish trades.
These lines help determine future price targets and assist in setting take-profit or stop-loss levels.
Trading the Breakout
Look for breakouts once the Shark-32 pattern is identified:
Upward Breakout: If the price closes above the green line (high from two bars ago), it indicates a potential reversal to the upside.
Downward Breakout: If the price breaks below the red line (low from two bars ago), it confirms the bearish continuation.
Breakouts allow traders to adjust their positions based on market shifts.
Trading Tips
Continuation: The Shark-32 pattern acts as a continuation 60% of the time, confirming the ongoing trend.
Breakout Confirmation: Wait for the price to close above or below the pattern’s key levels before entering a trade.
Trade with the Trend: Since the Shark-32 is a continuation pattern, expect the breakout to align with the inbound price trend.
Symmetry: Patterns with symmetry often perform better. For more insights, refer to detailed trading literature.
Half-Staff: The Shark-32 can form midway in a trend, similar to flags and pennants.

MultiTimeFrame Trends and Candle Bias (by MC) v1This MultiTimeFrame Trends and Candle Bias provides the trader a quick glance on how each timeframe is trending and what the current candle bias is in each timeframe.
Interpreting Candle Bias : Green points to a bullish bias while red, a bearish bias for a given specific timeframe. For instance, if the current 1 hour candle bias is red, it means that the last hour, the bias has been bearish. If the Daily candle bias is red, it means that the day in question has been a bearish for this selected symbol.
Interpreting MTF Trends: Trends for each time frame follows the simple moving average of the closing prices for the X number of candles you enter in the input section. So for example, if you decide to enter 6 for the 1-hour time frame, the trend for the last 6 hours will be shown and tracked; if on the Daily time frame, you enter 7, the trend for the last 7 days or 1 week will be shown and tracked. I have provided below (as well as on tooltips in the input section of this indicator) recommendations of what numbers to use depending on what kind of trader you are.
What is a best setup for MultiTimeFrame Trends?
Considerations Across All Timeframes:
- Trading Style : Scalpers and very short-term intraday traders may prefer fewer candles (like 12 to 20), which allow them to react quickly to price changes. Swing traders or those holding positions for a few hours to a couple of days might prefer more candles (like 50 to 120) to identify more stable trends.
- Market Conditions : In volatile markets, using more candles helps smooth out price fluctuations and provides a clearer trend signal. In trending markets, fewer candles might be sufficient to capture the trend.
- Session-Based Adjustments : Traders may adjust their settings depending on the time of day or session they are trading. For example, during high-volatility periods like market open or close, using fewer candles can help capture quick moves.
The number of preceding candles to use for estimating the recent trend can depend on various factors, including the type of market, the asset being traded, the timeframe, and the specific goals of your analysis. However, here are some general guidelines to help you decide:
### 1. **Short-Term Trends (Fast Moving Averages):**
- **5 to 20 Candles**: If you want to capture a short-term trend, typically in day trading or scalping strategies, you might use 5 to 20 candles. This is common for fast-moving averages like the 9-period or 15-period moving averages. It reacts quickly to price changes, but it can also give more false signals due to market noise.
### 2. **Medium-Term Trends (Moderate Moving Averages):**
- **20 to 50 Candles**: For a more balanced approach that reduces the impact of short-term volatility while still being responsive to trend changes, 20 to 50 candles are commonly used. This range is popular for swing trading strategies, where the goal is to capture trends that last several days to weeks.
### 3. **Long-Term Trends (Slow Moving Averages):**
- **50 to 200 Candles**: To identify long-term trends, such as those seen in position trading or for confirming major trend directions, you might use 50 to 200 candles. The 50-period and 200-period moving averages are particularly well-known and are often used by traders to identify significant trend reversals or confirmations.
### 4. **Adaptive Approach:**
- **Market Conditions**: In trending markets, fewer candles might be needed to identify a trend, while in choppy or range-bound markets, using more candles can help filter out noise.
- **Volatility**: In highly volatile markets, more candles might be necessary to smooth out price action and avoid false signals.
### **Experiment and Backtesting:**
The optimal number of candles can vary significantly based on the asset and strategy. It's often a good idea to backtest different periods to see which provides the best balance between responsiveness and reliability in identifying trends. You can use tools like the strategy tester in TradingView or other backtesting software to compare the performance of different settings.
### **General Recommendation:**
- **For Shorter Timeframes** (e.g., 5m, 15m): 10-20 candles might be effective.
- **For Medium Timeframes** (e.g., 1h, 4h): 20-50 candles are often a good starting point.
- **For Longer Timeframes** (e.g., Daily, Weekly): 50-200 candles help capture major trends.
If you're unsure, a common starting point for many traders is the 20-period moving average, which provides a balance between sensitivity and reliability.
Guidelines for 1-Minute Timeframe:
For the 1-minute (1M) timeframe, trend analysis typically focuses on very short-term price movements, which is crucial for scalping and ultra-short-term trading strategies. Here’s a breakdown of the number of preceding candles you might use:
1. **Very Short-Term Trend:**
- **10 to 20 Candles (10 to 20 Minutes):** Using 10 to 20 candles captures about 10 to 20 minutes of price action. This range is suitable for scalpers who need to identify very short-term trends and make quick trading decisions.
2. **Short-Term Trend:**
- **30 to 60 Candles (30 to 60 Minutes):** This period covers 30 to 60 minutes of trading, making it useful for traders looking to understand the trend over a full trading hour. It helps capture price movements and trends that develop within a single hour.
3. **Intraday Trend:**
- **120 Candles (2 Hours):** Using 120 candles provides a view of the trend over approximately 2 hours. This is useful for traders who want to see how the market is trending throughout a larger portion of the trading day.
4. **Extended Intraday Trend:**
- **240 to 480 Candles (4 to 8 Hours):** This longer period gives a broader view of the intraday trend, covering 4 to 8 hours. It’s helpful for identifying trends that span a significant portion of the trading day, which can be useful for traders looking to align with the broader intraday movement.
**Considerations:**
- **High Sensitivity:** The 1-minute timeframe is highly sensitive to market movements, so shorter periods (10 to 20 candles) can capture rapid price changes but may also generate noise.
- **Market Volatility:** In highly volatile markets, using more candles (like 30 to 60 or more) helps smooth out the noise and provides a clearer trend signal.
- **Trading Style:** Scalpers will typically use shorter periods to make very quick decisions. Traders holding positions for a bit longer, even within the same day, may use more candles to get a clearer picture of the trend.
**Common Approaches:**
- **5-Period Moving Average:** The 5-period moving average on a 1-minute chart can be used for extremely short-term trend signals, reacting quickly to price changes.
- **20-Period Moving Average:** The 20-period moving average is a good choice for capturing short-term trends and can help filter out some of the noise while still being responsive.
- **50-Period Moving Average:** The 50-period moving average provides a broader view of the trend and can help smooth out price movements over a longer intraday period.
**Recommendation:**
- **Start with 10 to 20 Candles:** For the most immediate and actionable signals, especially useful for scalping or very short-term trading.
- **Use 30 to 60 Candles:** For a clearer view of trends that develop over an hour, suitable for those looking to trade within a single trading hour.
- **Consider 120 Candles:** For observing broader intraday trends over 2 hours, helping align trades with more significant intraday movements.
- **Explore 240 to 480 Candles:** For a longer intraday perspective, covering up to 8 hours, which can be useful for strategies that span a larger portion of the trading day.
**Practical Example:**
- **Scalpers:** If you’re executing trades every few minutes, start with 10 to 20 candles to get rapid trend signals.
- **Short-Term Traders:** For trends that last an hour or so, 30 to 60 candles will provide a better sense of direction while still being responsive.
- **Intraday Traders:** For broader trends that span several hours, 120 candles will help you see the overall intraday movement.
Experimentation and backtesting with these settings on historical data will help you fine-tune your approach to the 1-minute timeframe for your specific trading strategy and asset.
Guidelines for 5, 15 and 30 min Timeframes:
For shorter timeframes like 5, 15, and 30 minutes, the number of preceding candles you use will depend on how quickly you want to react to changes in the trend and the specific trading style you’re employing. Here's a breakdown for each:
**5-Minute Timeframe:**
1. **Very Short-Term (Micro Trend):**
- **12 to 20 Candles (60 to 100 Minutes):** Using 12 to 20 candles on a 5-minute chart captures 1 to 1.5 hours of price action. This is ideal for very short-term trades, such as scalping, where quick entries and exits are key.
2. **Short-Term Trend:**
- **30 to 60 Candles (150 to 300 Minutes):** This period covers 2.5 to 5 hours, making it useful for intraday traders who want to identify the trend within a trading session. It helps capture the direction of the market during the most active parts of the day.
3. **Intra-Day Trend:**
- **120 Candles (10 Hours):** Using 120 candles gives you a broad view of the trend over two trading sessions. This is useful for traders who want to understand the trend throughout the entire trading day.
**15-Minute Timeframe:**
1. **Very Short-Term:**
- **12 to 20 Candles (3 to 5 Hours):** On a 15-minute chart, this period covers 3 to 5 hours, making it useful for capturing the morning or afternoon trend within a trading day. It’s often used by intraday traders who need to make quick decisions.
2. **Short-Term Trend:**
- **30 to 60 Candles (7.5 to 15 Hours):** This covers almost a full trading day to a day and a half. It’s popular among day traders who want to align their trades with the trend of the day or the previous trading session.
3. **Intra-Week Trend:**
- **120 Candles (30 Hours):** This period spans about two trading days and is useful for traders looking to capture trends that may extend beyond a single trading day but not necessarily for an entire week.
**30-Minute Timeframe:**
1. **Short-Term Trend:**
- **12 to 20 Candles (6 to 10 Hours):** This period captures the trend over a single trading session. It's useful for day traders who want to understand the market’s direction throughout the day.
2. **Medium-Term Trend:**
- **30 to 50 Candles (15 to 25 Hours):** This period covers about two trading days and is useful for short-term swing traders or intraday traders who are looking for trends that might last a couple of days.
3. **Intra-Week Trend:**
- **100 to 120 Candles (50 to 60 Hours):** This longer period captures about 4 to 5 trading days, making it useful for traders who want to understand the broader trend over the course of the week.
**Summary Recommendations:**
- **5-Minute Chart:**
- **12 to 20 candles** for very short-term trades.
- **30 to 60 candles** for intraday trends within a single session.
- **120 candles** for a broader view of the day’s trend.
- **15-Minute Chart:**
- **12 to 20 candles** for short-term trades within a few hours.
- **30 to 60 candles** for trends lasting a full day or more.
- **120 candles** for trends extending over a couple of days.
- **30-Minute Chart:**
- **12 to 20 candles** for understanding the daily trend.
- **30 to 50 candles** for trends over a couple of days.
- **100 to 120 candles** for an intra-week trend view.
Experimenting with these settings and backtesting on historical data will help you find the optimal number of candles for your specific trading style and the assets you trade.
Guidelines for 1H Timeframes:
When analyzing trends on a 1-hour (1H) timeframe, you're focusing on short to medium-term trends, often used by day traders and short-term swing traders. Here’s how you can approach selecting the number of preceding candles:
1. **Short-Term Trend:**
- **14 to 21 Candles (14 to 21 Hours):** Using 14 to 21 candles on a 1-hour chart captures roughly half a day to a full day of trading activity. This range is ideal for day traders who want to identify short-term momentum and trend changes within a single trading day.
2. **Medium-Term Trend:**
- **50 Candles (2 Days):** A 50-period moving average on a 1-hour chart covers about two days of trading. This period is popular for identifying trends that may last a couple of days, making it useful for short-term swing traders.
3. **Longer-Term Trend:**
- **100 Candles (4 Days):** Using 100 candles gives you a broader view of the trend over about four days of trading. This is helpful for traders who want to align their trades with a more sustained trend that spans the entire week.
4. **Very Short-Term (Micro Trend):**
- **7 to 10 Candles (7 to 10 Hours):** For traders looking to capture micro trends or very short-term price movements, using 7 to 10 candles can provide a quick look at recent price action. This is often used for scalping or very short-term intraday strategies.
**Considerations:**
- **Market Volatility:** In highly volatile markets, using more candles (like 50 or 100) helps smooth out noise and provides a clearer trend signal. In less volatile conditions, fewer candles may suffice to capture trends.
- **Trading Style:** If you are a day trader looking for quick moves, shorter periods (like 7 to 21 candles) might be more suitable. For those who hold positions for a day or two, longer periods (like 50 or 100 candles) can provide better trend confirmation.
- **Asset Class:** The optimal number of candles can vary depending on the asset
Guidelines for 4H Timeframes:
When analyzing trends on a 4-hour (4H) timeframe, you’re generally looking to capture short to medium-term trends. This timeframe is popular among swing traders and intraday traders who want to balance between catching more significant market moves and not being too sensitive to noise. Here's how you can approach selecting the number of preceding candles:
1. **Short-Term Trend:**
- **14 to 21 Candles (2 to 3 Days):** Using 14 to 21 candles on a 4-hour chart covers roughly 2 to 3 days of trading activity. This range is ideal for traders looking to capture short-term momentum, especially in markets where price action can move quickly within a few days.
2. **Medium-Term Trend:**
- **50 Candles (8 to 10 Days):** A 50-period moving average on a 4-hour chart represents approximately 8 to 10 days of trading (considering 6 trading periods per day). This period is popular among swing traders for identifying trends that develop over the course of one to two weeks.
3. **Longer-Term Trend:**
- **100 Candles (16 to 20 Days):** Using 100 candles gives you a broader view of the trend over about 3 to 4 weeks. This is useful for traders who want to align their trades with the more sustained market direction while still remaining responsive to recent changes.
**Considerations:**
- **Market Conditions:** In a trending market, fewer candles (like 14 or 21) may be enough to identify the trend, allowing for quicker responses to price movements. In a more volatile or range-bound market, using more candles (like 50 or 100) can help smooth out noise and avoid false signals.
- **Trading Style:** If you are an intraday trader, shorter periods (14 to 21 candles) may be preferable, as they allow for quick entries and exits. Swing traders might lean towards the 50 to 100 candle range to capture trends that last several days to a few weeks.
- **Volatility:** The higher the volatility of the asset, the more candles you might want to use to ensure that the trend signal is not too erratic.
**Common Approaches:**
- **20-Period Moving Average:** A 20-period moving average on a 4-hour chart is often used by traders to capture short-term trends that align with momentum over the past few days.
- **50-Period Moving Average:** The 50-period moving average is widely used on the 4-hour chart to track medium-term trends. It provides a good balance between reacting to new trends and avoiding too many whipsaws.
- **100-Period Moving Average:** The 100-period moving average offers insight into the longer-term trend on the 4-hour chart, helping to filter out short-term noise and confirm the overall market direction.
**Recommendation:**
- **Start with 20 Candles for Short-Term Trends:** This period is useful for capturing quick movements and short-term trends over a couple of days.
- **Use 50 Candles for Medium-Term Trends:** This is a standard setting that provides a balanced view of the market over about 1 to 2 weeks.
- **Consider 100 Candles for Longer-Term Trends:** This helps to identify more significant trends that have persisted for a few weeks.
**Practical Example:**
- **Intraday Traders:** If you’re focused on shorter-term trades and need to react quickly, using 14 to 21 candles will help you capture the most recent momentum.
- **Swing Traders:** If you’re looking to hold positions for several days to a few weeks, starting with 50 candles will give you a clearer picture of the trend over that period.
- **Position Traders:** For those holding positions for a longer duration within a month, using 100 candles helps to align with the broader trend while still being responsive enough for 4-hour price movements.
Backtesting these settings on your chosen asset and strategy will help refine the optimal number of candles for your specific needs.
Guidelines for Daily Timeframes:
When analyzing trends on a daily timeframe, you're typically focusing on short to medium-term trends. Here’s how you can determine the optimal number of preceding candles:
1. **Short-Term Trend:**
- **10 to 20 Candles (2 to 4 Weeks):** Using 10 to 20 daily candles captures about 2 to 4 weeks of price action. This is commonly used for identifying short-term trends, ideal for swing traders or those looking for quick entries and exits within a month.
2. **Medium-Term Trend:**
- **50 Candles (2 to 3 Months):** The 50-day moving average is a classic choice for capturing medium-term trends. This period covers about 2 to 3 months of trading days and is often used by swing traders and investors to identify the trend over a quarter or a season.
3. **Long-Term Trend:**
- **100 to 200 Candles (4 to 9 Months):** For longer-term trend analysis, using 100 to 200 daily candles gives you a broader perspective, covering approximately 4 to 9 months of price action. The 200-day moving average, in particular, is widely used by investors to determine the overall long-term trend and to assess market health.
**Considerations:**
- **Market Volatility:** In more volatile markets, using a larger number of candles (e.g., 50 or 200) helps smooth out noise and provides a more reliable trend signal. In less volatile markets, fewer candles might be sufficient to capture trends effectively.
- **Trading Style:** Day traders might prefer shorter periods (like 10 or 20 candles) for quicker signals, while position traders and longer-term swing traders might opt for 50 to 200 candles to focus on more sustained trends.
- **Asset Class:** The optimal number of candles can also depend on the asset class. For example, equities might have different optimal settings compared to forex or cryptocurrencies due to different volatility characteristics.
**Common Approaches:**
- **20-Period Moving Average:** The 20-day moving average is a popular choice for short-term trend analysis. It’s widely used by traders to identify the short-term direction and to make quick trading decisions.
- **50-Period Moving Average:** The 50-day moving average is a staple for medium-term trend analysis, often used as a key indicator for both entry and exit points in swing trading.
- **200-Period Moving Average:** The 200-day moving average is crucial for long-term trend identification. It's commonly used by investors and is often seen as a major support or resistance level. When the price is above the 200-day moving average, the market is generally considered to be in a long-term uptrend, and vice versa.
**Recommendation:**
- **Start with 20 Candles for Short-Term Trends:** This period is commonly used for identifying recent trends within the last few weeks.
- **Use 50 Candles for Medium-Term Trends:** This provides a good balance between responsiveness and stability, making it a good fit for most swing trading strategies.
- **Use 200 Candles for Long-Term Trends:** This period is ideal for long-term analysis and is particularly useful for investors looking at the overall market trend.
**Practical Example:**
- If you’re trading equities and want to catch short-term trends, start with 20 candles to identify trends that have developed over the past month.
- If you’re more focused on medium to long-term trends, consider using 50 or 200 candles to ensure you’re aligned with the broader market direction.
Experimenting with these periods and backtesting on historical data will help you determine the best setting for your particular strategy and the asset you're analyzing.
Guidelines for Weekly Timeframes:
When analyzing trends on a weekly timeframe, you're typically looking at intermediate to long-term trends. Here's how you might approach selecting the number of preceding candles:
1. **Intermediate-Term Trend:**
- **13 to 26 Candles (3 to 6 Months):** Using 13 to 26 weekly candles corresponds to a period of 3 to 6 months. This range is effective for identifying intermediate-term trends, which is suitable for swing traders or those looking to hold positions for several weeks to a few months.
2. **Medium-Term Trend:**
- **26 to 52 Candles (6 Months to 1 Year):** For a broader view, you might use 26 to 52 weekly candles. This represents 6 months to 1 year of price data, which is helpful for understanding the market’s behavior over a medium-term period. This range is commonly used by swing traders and position traders who are interested in capturing trends lasting several months.
3. **Long-Term Trend:**
- **104 Candles (2 Years):** Using 104 weekly candles gives you a 2-year perspective. This can be useful for long-term trend analysis, particularly for investors or those looking to identify major trend reversals or continuations over a more extended period.
**Considerations:**
- **Market Type:** In trending markets, fewer candles (like 13 or 26) may work well, capturing the trend more quickly. In choppier or range-bound markets, using more candles can help reduce noise and avoid false signals.
- **Asset Class:** The optimal number of candles can vary depending on the asset class. For example, equities might benefit from a slightly shorter lookback period compared to more volatile assets like commodities or cryptocurrencies.
- **Volatility:** If the market or asset you're analyzing is highly volatile, using a higher number of candles (like 52 or 104) can help smooth out price fluctuations and provide a more stable trend signal.
**Common Approaches:**
- **20-Period Moving Average:** A 20-week moving average is popular among traders for identifying the intermediate trend. It’s responsive enough to capture significant trend changes while filtering out short-term noise.
- **50-Period Moving Average:** The 50-week moving average is often used to identify longer-term trends and is commonly referenced in both technical analysis and by longer-term traders.
- **200-Period Moving Average:** Although less common on weekly charts compared to daily charts, a 200-week moving average can be used to identify very long-term trends, such as multi-year market cycles.
**Recommendation:**
- **Start with 26 Candles:** This gives you a half-year perspective and is a good starting point for most analyses on a weekly timeframe. It balances sensitivity to recent trends with the ability to capture more significant, sustained movements.
- **Adjust Based on Backtesting:** You can increase the number of candles to 52 if you find that you need more stability in the trend signal, or decrease to 13 if you're looking for a more responsive signal.
Experimenting with different periods and backtesting on historical data can help determine the best setting for your specific strategy and asset class.
Guidelines for Monthly Timeframes:
For analyzing trends on monthly timeframes, you would generally be looking at much longer periods to capture the broader, long-term trend. Here's how you can approach it:
1. **Long-Term Trend (Primary Trend):**
- **12 to 24 Candles (1 to 2 Years):** Using 12 to 24 monthly candles corresponds to a period of 1 to 2 years. This is typically sufficient to identify long-term trends and is commonly used by long-term investors or position traders who are interested in the overall direction of the market or asset over multiple years.
2. **Very Long-Term Trend (Secular Trend):**
- **36 to 60 Candles (3 to 5 Years):** To capture very long-term secular trends, you might use 36 to 60 monthly candles. This would represent a time frame of 3 to 5 years and is often used for understanding macroeconomic trends or very long-term investment strategies.
3. **Ultra Long-Term Trend:**
- **120 Candles (10 Years):** In some cases, especially for assets like indices or commodities that are analyzed over decades, using 120 monthly candles can help in identifying ultra long-term trends. This would be appropriate for strategic investors or those looking at generational market cycles.
**Considerations:**
- **Volatility and Stability:** Monthly timeframes generally smooth out short-term volatility, but they can also be slow to react to changes. Using a larger number of candles (e.g., 24 or more) can help ensure that the trend signal is robust and not prone to frequent whipsaws.
- **Asset Class:** The choice of period might also depend on the asset class. For instance, equities might require fewer candles compared to commodities or currencies, which can exhibit different trend dynamics.
- **Market Phases:** In different market phases (bullish, bearish, or sideways), the number of candles might need to be adjusted. For instance, in a strongly trending market, fewer candles might still provide a reliable trend indication, whereas in a more volatile or ranging market, more candles might be needed to smooth out the data.
**Common Approaches:**
- **50-Period Moving Average:** A 50-month moving average is popular among long-term traders and investors for identifying the primary trend. It offers a balance between capturing the overall trend and being responsive enough to significant changes.
- **200-Period Moving Average:** Although rarely used on a monthly chart due to the long timeframe it represents (over 16 years), it can be useful for identifying very long-term secular trends, especially for broad market indices or in macroeconomic analysis.
**Recommendation:**
- **Start with 24 Candles:** This gives you a 2-year perspective on the trend and is a good starting point for most long-term analyses on monthly charts. Adjust upwards if you need a broader trend view, depending on the stability and nature of the asset you're analyzing.
Experimentation and backtesting with your specific asset and strategy can help fine-tune the exact number of candles that work best for your analysis on a monthly timeframe.

🔔 Set Alerts: Configure alerts to notify you when the trend changes, allowing you to react quickly to potential market shifts without needing to manually track price movements.
🌟 How It Works and Academic Background:
The H-Infinity Volatility Filter is built on the foundations of H∞ (H-infinity) control theory , a mathematical framework originating from the field of engineering and control systems. Developed in the 1980s by notable engineers such as George Zames and John C. Doyle , this theory was designed to help systems perform optimally under uncertain and noisy conditions. H∞ control focuses on minimizing the worst-case effects of disturbances and noise, making it a powerful tool for managing uncertainty in complex environments.
In financial markets, where unpredictable price fluctuations and noise often obscure meaningful trends, this same concept can be applied to price data to filter out short-term volatility. The H-Infinity Volatility Filter adopts this approach, allowing traders and investors to better identify potential trends by reducing the impact of random price movements. Instead of focusing on precise market predictions, the filter increases the probability of highlighting significant trends by smoothing out market noise.
This indicator works by processing historical price data through an H∞ filter that continuously adjusts based on worst-case noise levels and disturbances. By considering several past states, it estimates the current price trend while accounting for potential external disruptions that might influence price behavior. Parameters like "worst-case noise" and "disturbance" are user-configurable, allowing traders to adapt the filter to different market conditions. For example, in highly volatile markets, these parameters can be adjusted to manage larger price swings, while in more stable markets, they can be fine-tuned for smoother trend detection.
The H-Infinity Volatility Filter also incorporates a dynamic trend detection system that classifies price movements as bullish or bearish. It uses color-coded candles and plots—green for bullish trends and red for bearish trends—to provide clear visual cues for market direction. This helps traders and investors quickly interpret the trend and act on potential signals. While the indicator doesn’t guarantee accuracy in trend prediction, it significantly reduces the likelihood of false signals by focusing on meaningful price changes rather than random fluctuations.
How It Can Be Applied to Trading/Investing:
By applying the principles of H∞ control theory to financial markets, the H-Infinity Volatility Filter provides traders and investors with a sophisticated tool that manages uncertainty more effectively. Its design makes it suitable for use in a wide range of markets—whether in fast-moving, volatile environments or calmer conditions.
The indicator is versatile and can be used in both short-term trading and medium to long-term investing strategies. Traders can tune the filter to align with their specific risk tolerance, asset class, and market conditions, making it an ideal tool for reducing the effects of market noise while increasing the probability of detecting reliable trend signals.
For investors, the filter can help in identifying medium to long-term trends by filtering out short-term price swings and focusing on the broader market direction. Whether applied to stocks, forex, commodities, or cryptocurrencies, the H-Infinity Volatility Filter helps traders and investors interpret market behavior with more confidence by offering a more refined view of price movements through its noise reduction techniques.
Disclaimer:
The H-Infinity Volatility Filter is designed to assist in market analysis by filtering out noise and volatility. It should not be used as the sole tool for making trading or investment decisions. Always incorporate other forms of analysis and risk management strategies. No statements or signals from this indicator or us should be considered financial advice.

Stochastic RSI Strategy with Inverted Trend LogicOverview:
The Stochastic RSI Strategy with Inverted Trend Logic is a custom-built Pine Script indicator that leverages the Stochastic RSI and a 200-period moving average to generate precise buy and sell signals. It is specifically designed for traders looking to capture opportunities during short-term market movements while factoring in broader trend conditions.
Key Components:
Stochastic RSI:
Stochastic RSI is a momentum indicator that applies stochastic calculations to the standard Relative Strength Index (RSI), rather than price data. This makes it particularly sensitive to market momentum changes, which is essential for timing entries and exits.
K Line and D Line: The indicator calculates and smooths both the K and D lines to capture momentum shifts more accurately.
200-Period Moving Average:
The 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) is used as a trend filter.
If the price is above the 200-period SMA, the trend is considered bullish.
If the price is below the 200-period SMA, the trend is considered bearish.
Inverted Trading Logic:
The trading logic is inverted from traditional strategies:
Long trades are executed only when the market is in a bearish trend (price below the 200-period moving average).
Short trades are executed only when the market is in a bullish trend (price above the 200-period moving average).
This inversion allows traders to take advantage of potential trend reversals by entering positions in the opposite direction of the prevailing trend.
Trading Rules:
Long Trade Conditions (Buy Signal):
The Stochastic RSI K line must be below 5 for 4 consecutive candles (oversold condition).
The price must be below the 200-period SMA (indicating a bearish trend).
Once these conditions are met, the indicator will generate a buy signal on the close of the 4th candle.
Exit Condition: The long position is exited when the Stochastic RSI K line crosses above 50 (neutral level).
Short Trade Conditions (Sell Signal):
The Stochastic RSI K line must be above 95 for 4 consecutive candles (overbought condition).
The price must be above the 200-period SMA (indicating a bullish trend).
Once these conditions are met, the indicator will generate a sell signal on the close of the 4th candle.
Exit Condition: The short position is exited when the Stochastic RSI K line crosses below 50.
Visual Signals on the Chart:
Buy Signal:
A green triangle below the bar is displayed on the chart when a buy condition is met, indicating a potential long trade opportunity.
The text "BUY" is displayed for further clarity.
Sell Signal:
A red triangle above the bar is displayed on the chart when a sell condition is met, indicating a potential short trade opportunity.
The text "SELL" is displayed for further clarity.
How to Use the Indicator:
Attach the Indicator: Apply the indicator to your desired chart (works on any time frame, but is optimized for short- to medium-term trading).
Monitor Signals: Watch for buy and sell signals on the chart:
Buy Signal: Enter long positions when a green triangle appears below the candle.
Sell Signal: Enter short positions when a red triangle appears above the candle.
Exit Positions: Exit long positions when the Stochastic RSI crosses above the 50 level, and exit short positions when the Stochastic RSI crosses below the 50 level.
Indicator Display:
Stochastic RSI: A visual representation of the Stochastic RSI (K and D lines) is plotted below the price chart, with overbought (100), midpoint (50), and oversold (0) levels clearly marked.
200-period SMA: The 200-period moving average is plotted on the price chart, giving a clear indication of the broader trend direction (orange line).
Key Benefits:
Reversal Opportunities: This strategy allows traders to capture reversal trades by using an inverted logic where longs are taken in bearish conditions and shorts are taken in bullish conditions. This can help capitalize on potential trend exhaustion and reversals.
Clear and Simple Rules: The use of Stochastic RSI and the 200-period moving average ensures the strategy remains simple yet effective, making it easy for traders to follow.
Visual Alerts: The indicator provides clear buy and sell signals, making it easy for traders to spot trading opportunities in real-time without needing to monitor multiple conditions manually.
Limitations and Considerations:
Trend Changes: Since the strategy is designed to work during trend reversals, it might not perform as well during strong, prolonged trends where price continues moving in one direction without significant pullbacks.
Time Frame Suitability: While the indicator works on any time frame, shorter time frames may result in more frequent signals and higher trade frequency, whereas higher time frames will provide fewer but potentially stronger signals.
Conclusion:
The Stochastic RSI Strategy with Inverted Trend Logic is a powerful tool for traders looking to capture market reversals by entering trades against the prevailing trend direction based on momentum exhaustion. Its simple and clear logic, combined with easy-to-understand visual signals, makes it a versatile indicator for both novice and experienced traders.
N Bar Reversal Detector [LuxAlgo]The N Bar Reversal Detector is designed to detect and highlight N-bar reversal patterns in user charts, where N represents the length of the candle sequence used to detect the patterns. The script incorporates various trend indicators to filter out detected signals and offers a range of customizable settings to fit different trading strategies.
🔶 USAGE
The N-bar reversal pattern extends the popular 3-bar reversal pattern. While the 3-bar reversal pattern involves identifying a sequence of three bars signaling a potential trend reversal, the N-bar reversal pattern builds on this concept by incorporating additional bars based on user settings. This provides a more comprehensive indication of potential trend reversals. The script automates the identification of these patterns and generates clear, visually distinct signals to highlight potential trend changes.
When a reversal chart pattern is confirmed and aligns with the price action, the pattern's boundaries are extended to create levels. The upper boundary serves as resistance, while the lower boundary acts as support.
The script allows users to filter patterns based on the trend direction identified by various trend indicators. Users can choose to view patterns that align with the detected trend or those that are contrary to it.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 The N-bar Reversal Pattern
The N-bar reversal pattern is a technical analysis tool designed to signal potential trend reversals in the market. It consists of N consecutive bars, with the first N-1 bars used to identify the prevailing trend and the Nth bar confirming the reversal. Here’s a detailed look at the pattern:
Bullish Reversal : In a bullish reversal setup, the first bar is the highest among the first N-1 bars, indicating a prevailing downtrend. Most of the remaining bars in this sequence should be bearish (closing lower than where they opened), reinforcing the existing downward momentum. The Nth (most recent) bar confirms a bullish reversal if its high price is higher than the high of the first bar in the sequence (standard pattern). For a stronger signal, the closing price of the Nth bar should also be higher than the high of the first bar.
Bearish Reversal : In a bearish reversal setup, the first bar is the lowest among the first N-1 bars, indicating a prevailing uptrend. Most of the remaining bars in this sequence should be bullish (closing higher than where they opened), reinforcing the existing upward momentum. The Nth bar confirms a bearish reversal if its low price is lower than the low of the first bar in the sequence (standard pattern). For a stronger signal, the closing price of the Nth bar should also be lower than the low of the first bar.
🔹 Min Percentage of Required Candles
This parameter specifies the minimum percentage of candles that must be bullish (for a bearish reversal) or bearish (for a bullish reversal) among the first N-1 candles in a pattern. For higher values of N, it becomes more challenging for all of the first N-1 candles to be consistently bullish or bearish. By setting a percentage value, P, users can adjust the requirement so that only a minimum of P percent of the first N-1 candles need to meet the bullish or bearish condition. This allows for greater flexibility in pattern recognition, accommodating variations in market conditions.
🔶 SETTINGS
Pattern Type: Users can choose the type of the N-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 last bar surpasses the high/low of the first bar. "All" detects both Normal and Enhanced patterns.
Reversal Pattern Sequence Length: Specifies the number of candles (N) in the sequence used to identify a reversal pattern.
Min Percentage of Required Candles: Sets the minimum percentage of the first N-1 candles that must be bullish (for a bearish reversal) or bearish (for a bullish reversal) to qualify as a valid reversal pattern.
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.

Screener | FractalystWhat’s the purpose of this indicator?
This indicator is part of the Optirange suite , which analyzes all timeframes using a mechanical top-down approach to determine the overall market bias. It helps you identify the specific timeframes and exact levels for positioning in longs, shorts, or guiding you on whether to stay away from trading a particular market condition.
The purpose of the Screener indicator is to track the contextual bias of multiple markets simultaneously on the charts without the need to switch between pairs. This allows traders to monitor various assets in real-time, enhancing decision-making efficiency and identifying potential trading opportunities more effectively.
-----
How does this indicator identify the overall market bias?
This indicator employs a systematic top-down approach, analyzing market structure, fractal blocks, and their mitigations from the 12M timeframe down to the 1D timeframe to uncover the story behind the market. This method helps identify the overall market bias, whether it’s bullish, bearish, or in consolidating conditions.
Below is a flowchart that illustrates the calculation behind the market context identification, demonstrating the systematic approach:
-----
According to the above trade plan, why do we only look for mitigations within Fractal Blocks of X1/X2?
In this context, "X" stands for a break in the market's structure, and the numbers (1 and 2) indicate the sequence of these breaks within the same trend direction, either up or down.
We focus on mitigations within Fractal Blocks during the X1/X2 stages because these points mark the early phase (X1) and the continuation (X2) of a trend. By doing so, we align our trades with the market's main direction and avoid getting stopped out in the middle of trends.
-----
How does this indicator identify ranges in a mechanical way?
Since the indicator is part of the Optirange suite , it follows the exact rules that Optirange utilizes to identify breaks of market structures in a mechanical manner.
Let’s take a closer look at how the ranges are calculated:
1- First, we need to understand the importance of following a set of mechanical rules in identifying market structure:
The image above illustrates the difference between a subjective and a mechanical approach to analyzing market structure. The subjective method often leads to uncertainty, where traders might struggle to pinpoint exact breaks in structure, resulting in inconsistent decision-making. Questions like “Is this a break?” or “Maybe this one...?” reflect the ambiguity of manual interpretation, which can cause confusion and errors in trading.
On the other hand, the mechanical approach depicted on the right side of the image follows a clear, rule-based method to define breaks in market structure. This systematic approach eliminates guesswork by providing precise criteria for identifying structural changes, such as marking structural invalidation levels where market bias shifts from bullish to bearish or vice versa. The mechanical method not only offers consistency but also integrates statistical probabilities , enhancing the trader's ability to make data-driven decisions.
By adhering to these mechanical rules, the Screener indicator ensures that ranges are identified consistently, allowing traders to rely on objective analysis rather than subjective interpretation . This approach is crucial for accurately defining market structures and making informed trading decisions.
2- Now let's take a look at a practical example of how the indicator utilizes Pivot points with a period of 2 to identify ranges:
In this image, we see a Bearish Scenario on the left and a Bullish Scenario on the right. The indicator starts by identifying the first significant swing on the chart. It then validates this swing by checking if there is a preceding swing high (for a bearish scenario) or swing low (for a bullish scenario). Once validated, the indicator confirms a break of structure when price closes below or above these points, respectively.
For instance, in the Bearish Scenario:
The first significant swing is identified.
The script checks for a preceding swing high before confirming any structural break.
A candle closure below the swing low confirms the first bearish break of structure.
This results in a confirmed market bias towards bearishness, with structural liquidity levels indicated for potential price targets.
In the Bullish Scenario:
The process is mirrored, identifying the first swing low and validating it with a preceding swing low.
A closure above this swing confirms the bullish break of structure.
This leads to a market bias towards bullishness, with invalidation levels to watch if the trend shifts.
This practical example demonstrates how the indicator systematically identifies market ranges, ensuring that traders can make informed decisions based on clear, rule-based criteria.
-----
How does this indicator identify ranges in a mechanical way, What are the underlying calculations?
Fractal blocks refer to the most extreme swing candle within the latest break. They can serve as significant levels for price rejection and may guide movements toward the next break, often in confluence with topdown analysis for added confirmation.
-----
What are mitigations, What are the underlying calculations?
Mitigations refer to specific price action occurrences identified by the script:
1- When the price reaches the most recent fractal block and confirms a swing candle, the script automatically draws a line from the swing to the fractal block bar and labels it with a checkmark.
2- If the price wicks through the invalidation level and then retraces back to the fractal block while forming a swing candle, the script labels this as a double mitigation on the chart.
This level will serve as the next potential invalidation level if a break occurs in the same direction.
-----
What does the right table display?
The table located at the right of your chart displays five colored symbols that represent the contextual market bias:
Green: The market is in a bullish condition.
Red: The market is in a bearish condition.
White: The market condition is uncertain, and it is advisable to stay away from trading.
-----
What does the bottom table display?
The bottom table can be turned on in the Optirange indicator and serves multiple purposes:
Range Counts and Mitigations: It shows the range counts and their mitigations across multiple timeframes, providing a comprehensive view of market dynamics.
Hourly Timeframe Probabilities: The bottom row of the bias table displays the probabilities for various hourly timeframes, helping to identify potential entry levels based on the multi-timeframe bias determined by the Screener.
In a bullish market context, you should look for long positions by focusing on hourly timeframes where buy-side probability exceeds 50%.
In a bearish market context, you should look for short positions by focusing on hourly timeframes where the sell-side probability exceeds 50%.
When the symbol is white within the Screener table, it signals that the market bias is unclear, and it's recommended to stay away from trading in such conditions.
-----
How the range probabilities are calculated?
Each break of market structure, denoted as X, is assigned a unique ID, starting from X1 for the first break, X2 for the second, and so on.
The probabilities are calculated based on breaks holding, meaning price closing through the liquidity level, rather than invalidation. This probability is then divided by the total count of similar numeric breaks.
For example, if 75 out of 100 bullish X1s become X2, then the probability of X1 becoming X2 on your charts will be displayed as 75% in the following format: ⬆ 75%
-----
What does the top table display?
The top table on the charts displays the current market context, offering insights into the underlying bias. It highlights the high-timeframe (HTF) bias and guides you on which timeframes you should use to enter long or short positions, based on the probability of success.
Additionally, when the market bias is unclear, the table clearly signals that it's best to avoid trading that specific market until the context or market story becomes clearer. This helps traders make informed decisions and avoid uncertain market conditions.
-----
How does the Screener indicator identify the market bias/context/story ?
- Market Structure: The Optirange indicator analyzes market structure across multiple timeframes, from a top-down perspective, including 12M, 6M, 3M, 1M, 2W, 1W, 3D, and 1D.
- Fractal Blocks: Once the market structure or current range is identified, the indicator automatically identifies the last push before the break and draws it as a box. These zones acts as a key area where the price often rejects from.
- Mitigations: After identifying the Fractal Block, the indicator checks for price mitigation or rejection within this zone. If mitigation occurs, meaning the price has reacted or rejected from the Fractal Block, the indicator draws a checkmark from the deepest candle within the Fractal Block to the initial candle that has created the zone.
- Bias Table: After identifying the three key elements—market structure, Fractal Blocks, and price mitigations—the indicator compiles this information into a multi-timeframe table. This table provides a comprehensive top-down perspective, showing what is happening from a structural standpoint across all timeframes. The Bias Table presents raw data, including identified Fractal Blocks and mitigations, to help traders understand the overall market trend. This data is crucial for the screener, which uses it to determine the current market bias based on a top-down analysis.
- Screener: Once all higher timeframes (HTF) and lower timeframes (LTF) are calculated using the indicator, it follows the exact rules outlined in the flowchart to determine the market bias. This systematic approach not only helps identify the current market trend but also suggests the exact timeframes to use for finding entry, particularly on hourly timeframes.
Example:
12M Timeframe:
OANDA:EURUSD
6M Timeframe :
OANDA:EURUSD
3M Timeframe :
OANDA:EURUSD
1M Timeframe :
OANDA:EURUSD
2W Timeframe :
OANDA:EURUSD
1W Timeframe :
OANDA:EURUSD

Signal Conditions: A signal is generated under two scenarios:
Normal Conditions: Sequential increase/decrease in volume over three bars accompanied by bearish/bullish price action, followed by a dip in volume with a bullish/bearish bar.
Filtered Conditions (if filter is active): Requires all last four bars to be bearish/bullish, the most recent bar's volume to be less than the immediate previous, and then exceeds the volume two bars prior, closing bullish/bearish.
This indicator is suited for various assets and timeframes, especially in markets where volume plays a significant role in price dynamics.
Prometheus Volatility StopThe Prometheus Volatility Stop is an indicator designed to give you a moving risk metric along with a custom Moving Average cross. After a calculation of the annualized volatility for the specified lookback period we determine bullish or bearish from the moving averages and plot the Volatility Stop accordingly.
User Input:
A user can select from Hull Moving Average, Exponential Moving average, Simple Moving Average, the Moving Average used in RSI, and Weighted Moving Average. The default is Hull Moving Average and Exponential Moving average.
A user can also specify the lookback period. The default is 30.
A user may also turn off the plots for the Moving Averages.
The reason for this approach is to be more original from the traditional Volatility Stop.
Calculation:
The Historical Volatility is calculated by taking the standard deviation of the log returns for the specified period and then annualizing it.
hv = ta.stdev(math.log(close / close ), lkb) * math.sqrt(252/5)
Then the Volatility Stop is calculated as follows:
recent_max = ta.highest(close, lkb)
recent_min = ta.lowest(close, lkb)
hv_stop = ma_2 > ma_1 ? recent_max + hv : recent_min - hv
When the second selected moving average is greater than the first, which signals bearishness, the historical volatility gets added to the high of that period. When the moving averages signal bullish the historical volatility gets subtracted from the low of that period.
Here is an example on NASDAQ:ARM :
After the first crossover, bullish signal, price runs for some time. As we get higher and higher so does the Volatility Stop. At the highs before a bearish crossover the price hits and closes at the Volatility Stop. Providing what could be an exit from a strong run up.
Intra-day example on NASDAQ:QQQ :
We see that in the early bearish move price goes on to hit the Volatility Stop before the trend switches.
We also see that in the failed long. The price action throughout the rest of the day, while not providing in profit stop outs, do provide fine directional alerts.
All those examples have been done with the default settings. Upon changing Moving Average One to a WMA and Moving Average Two to an SMA, as well as the lookback to 75. We see this quickly can become a simple trend follower.
This is the perspective we aim to provide. We encourage traders to not follow indicators blindly. No indicator is 100% accurate. This one can give you a different perspective of price strength with volatility. We encourage any comments about desired updates or criticism!
Uptrick: DPO Signal & Zone Indicator
## **Uptrick: DPO Signal & Zone Indicator**
### **Introduction:**
The **Uptrick: DPO Signal & Zone Indicator** is a sophisticated technical analysis tool tailored to provide insights into market momentum, identify potential trading signals, and recognize extreme market conditions. It leverages the Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) to strip out long-term trends from price movements, allowing traders to focus on short-term fluctuations and cyclical behavior. The indicator integrates multiple components, including a Detrended Price Oscillator, a Signal Line, a Histogram, and customizable alert levels, to deliver a robust framework for market analysis and trading decision-making.
### **Detailed Breakdown:**
#### **1. Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO):**
- **Purpose and Functionality:**
- The DPO is designed to filter out long-term trends from the price data, isolating short-term price movements. This helps in understanding the cyclical patterns and momentum of an asset, allowing traders to detect periods of acceleration or deceleration that might be overlooked when focusing solely on long-term trends.
- **Calculation:**
- **Formula:** `dpo = close - ta.sma(close, smaLength)`
- **`close`:** The asset’s closing price for each period in the dataset.
- **`ta.sma(close, smaLength)`:** The Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing prices over a period defined by `smaLength`.
- The DPO is derived by subtracting the SMA value from the current closing price. This calculation reveals how much the current price deviates from the moving average, effectively detrending the price data.
- **Interpretation:**
- **Positive DPO Values:** Indicate that the current price is higher than the moving average, suggesting bullish market conditions and a potential upward trend.
- **Negative DPO Values:** Indicate that the current price is lower than the moving average, suggesting bearish market conditions and a potential downward trend.
- **Magnitude of DPO:** Reflects the strength of momentum. Larger positive or negative values suggest stronger momentum in the respective direction.
#### **2. Signal Line:**
- **Purpose and Functionality:**
- The Signal Line is a smoothed average of the DPO, intended to act as a reference point for generating trading signals. It helps to filter out short-term fluctuations and provides a clearer perspective on the prevailing trend.
- **Calculation:**
- **Formula:** `signalLine = ta.sma(dpo, signalLength)`
- **`ta.sma(dpo, signalLength)`:** The SMA of the DPO values over a period defined by `signalLength`.
- The Signal Line is calculated by applying a moving average to the DPO values. This smoothing process reduces noise and highlights the underlying trend direction.
- **Interpretation:**
- **DPO Crossing Above Signal Line:** Generates a buy signal, suggesting that short-term momentum is turning bullish relative to the longer-term trend.
- **DPO Crossing Below Signal Line:** Generates a sell signal, suggesting that short-term momentum is turning bearish relative to the longer-term trend.
- **Signal Line’s Role:** Provides a benchmark for assessing the strength of the DPO. The interaction between the DPO and the Signal Line offers actionable insights into potential entry or exit points.
#### **3. Histogram:**
- **Purpose and Functionality:**
- The Histogram visualizes the difference between the DPO and the Signal Line. It provides a graphical representation of momentum strength and direction, allowing traders to quickly gauge market conditions.
- **Calculation:**
- **Formula:** `histogram = dpo - signalLine`
- The Histogram is computed by subtracting the Signal Line value from the DPO value. Positive values indicate that the DPO is above the Signal Line, while negative values indicate that the DPO is below the Signal Line.
- **Interpretation:**
- **Color Coding:**
- **Green Bars:** Represent positive values, indicating bullish momentum.
- **Red Bars:** Represent negative values, indicating bearish momentum.
- **Width of Bars:** Indicates the strength of momentum. Wider bars signify stronger momentum, while narrower bars suggest weaker momentum.
- **Zero Line:** A horizontal gray line that separates positive and negative histogram values. Crosses of the histogram through this zero line can signal shifts in momentum direction.
#### **4. Alert Levels:**
- **Purpose and Functionality:**
- Alert levels define specific thresholds to identify extreme market conditions, such as overbought and oversold states. These levels help traders recognize potential reversal points and extreme market conditions.
- **Inputs:**
- **`alertLevel1`:** Defines the upper threshold for identifying overbought conditions.
- **Default Value:** 0.5
- **`alertLevel2`:** Defines the lower threshold for identifying oversold conditions.
- **Default Value:** -0.5
- **Interpretation:**
- **Overbought Condition:** When the DPO exceeds `alertLevel1`, indicating that the market may be overbought. This condition suggests that the asset could be due for a correction or reversal.
- **Oversold Condition:** When the DPO falls below `alertLevel2`, indicating that the market may be oversold. This condition suggests that the asset could be poised for a rebound or reversal.
#### **5. Visual Elements:**
- **DPO and Signal Line Plots:**
- **DPO Plot:**
- **Color:** Blue
- **Width:** 2 pixels
- **Purpose:** To visually represent the deviation of the current price from the moving average.
- **Signal Line Plot:**
- **Color:** Red
- **Width:** 1 pixel
- **Purpose:** To provide a smoothed reference for the DPO and generate trading signals.
- **Histogram Plot:**
- **Color Coding:**
- **Green:** For positive values, signaling bullish momentum.
- **Red:** For negative values, signaling bearish momentum.
- **Style:** Histogram bars are displayed with varying width to represent the strength of momentum.
- **Zero Line:** A gray horizontal line separating positive and negative histogram values.
- **Overbought/Oversold Zones:**
- **Background Colors:**
- **Green Shading:** Applied when the DPO exceeds `alertLevel1`, indicating an overbought condition.
- **Red Shading:** Applied when the DPO falls below `alertLevel2`, indicating an oversold condition.
- **Horizontal Lines:**
- **Dotted Green Line:** At `alertLevel1`, marking the upper alert threshold.
- **Dotted Red Line:** At `alertLevel2`, marking the lower alert threshold.
- **Purpose:** To provide clear visual cues for extreme market conditions, aiding in the identification of potential reversal points.
#### **6. Trading Signals and Alerts:**

- **Trigger:** When the DPO crosses above the Signal Line.
- **Visual Representation:** A "BUY" label appears below the price bar in the specified buy color.
- **Purpose:** Indicates a potential buying opportunity as short-term momentum turns bullish.
- **Sell Signal:**
- **Trigger:** When the DPO crosses below the Signal Line.
- **Visual Representation:** A "SELL" label appears above the price bar in the specified sell color.
- **Purpose:** Indicates a potential selling opportunity as short-term momentum turns bearish.
- **Overbought/Oversold Alerts:**
- **Overbought Alert:** Triggered when the DPO crosses below `alertLevel1`.
- **Oversold Alert:** Triggered when the DPO crosses above `alertLevel2`.
- **Visual Representation:** Labels "OVERBOUGHT" and "OVERSOLD" appear with distinctive colors and sizes to highlight extreme conditions.
- **Purpose:** To signal potential reversal points and extreme market conditions that may lead to price corrections or trend reversals.
- **Alert Conditions:**

Change in State of Delivery (CISD) [LuxAlgo]The Change In State Of Delivery (CISD) indicator detects and displays Change in State Of Delivery, a concept related to market structures.
Users can choose between two different CISD detection methods. Various filtering options are also included to filter out less significant CISDs.
🔶 USAGE
A Change in State of Delivery (CISD) is a concept closely related to market structures, where price breaks a level of interest, confirming trends and their continuations from the resulting breakouts.
Unlike more traditional market structures which rely on swing points, CISDs rely on a persistent sequence of candles, using the sequence extremes as breakout levels.
CISDs are detected as follows:
Bullish: The price closes above the opening price of the first candle in a sequence of bearish candles (or its own opening price if it's the only candle).
Bearish: The price closes below the opening price of the first candle in a sequence of bullish candles (or its own opening price if it's the only candle).
If a newly detected CISD aligns with the indicator's current established trend, this confirms a trend continuation (represented with a dashed line).
On the other hand, if a newly detected CISD is in the opposite direction to the detected trend it can confirm a trend reversal (represented with a solid line).
🔹 Liquidity Sweep Detection Method
Using Liquidity Sweeps to update CISD breakout levels allows us to obtain less frequent and more relevant levels that are less sensitive to noisy price variations.
Sweeps are obtained from detected Swing Points , with a higher Swing Length allowing us to obtain longer-term swing levels and potentially more detected sweeps from a specific level over time.
Note: The 'Swing Length' setting is only applicable on the Liquidity Sweep Detection Method and will only change the Liquidity levels.
A Liquidity Sweep is valid when the price reaches an important liquidity level , after which the price closes below/above this level.
Bullish scenario: The price goes below a previous unbroken Swing Low but closes above.
Bearish scenario: The price goes above a previous unbroken Swing High but closes below.
After a Liquidity Sweep has been detected, the last level of importance acts as support/resistance . Breaking this level in the other direction changes the state of delivery .
Users must keep observing the price and significant levels, as highlighted by the white rectangle in the above example.
🔹 CISD Filtering
Users can adjust the following two settings:
Minimum CISD Duration: The minimum length of the 'CISD' line
Maximum Swing Validity: The maximum length of the 'CISD' line; potential CISD lines that aren't broken are deleted when exceeding the limit.
The chart can get cluttered when the Minimum CISD Duration is low. Users could focus on a switch in trend (first solid line CISD ), where the following dashed CISD lines can be seen as extra opportunities/confirmations.
🔶 DETAIL
🔹 Using Different Timeframes
When an important liquidity level (Previous Swing high/low, FVG, etc.) is reached on the higher timeframe, the user can move to a lower timeframe to check whether there is a CISD .
Above example:
The high of the last candle breaches a liquidity level (previous Swing High). The opening price of the last candle acts as a trigger/confirmation level.
A confirmed CISD is seen in a lower timeframe, just after this Liquidity Sweep. This could be an early opportunity.
Later, a confirmed CISD on the higher timeframe is established.
🔶 SETTINGS
Detection Method: Classic or Liquidity Sweep
Swing Length: Period used for the swing detection, with higher values returning longer-term Swing Levels.
Minimum CISD Duration: The minimum length of the CISD line
Maximum Swing Validity: The maximum length of the CISD line; potential CISD lines that aren't broken are deleted when exceeding the limit.
Pace ProOverview
The Pace Pro indicator is a robust trend-following tool designed for versatile application across various timeframes and markets, including stocks, forex, futures and cryptocurrencies. It provides traders with "bull" and "bear" signals, take profit (TP) signals, and volume spike indications. This indicator aims to help traders identify potential trading opportunities through trends, reversals and price exhaustion.
Key Features
Bull and Bear Signals: Pace Pro generates green "bull" and red "bear" signals based on a trend strength score derived from an aggregation of components.
Take Profit (TP) Signals: The indicator plots black "TP" signals at areas of price exhaustion.
Volume Spike Indicators: The indicator colors candles to signify high volume spikes—light green for high bullish volume and light red for high bearish volume.
Price Clouds: The indicator includes three types of Bollinger Band clouds. These clouds help visualize exhaustion and volatility, providing traders with multiple perspectives on market dynamics.
How it works:
Trend Strength: This score is calculated using a proprietary formula that assesses the magnitude and direction of market movement with standard deviation and regression analysis. Standard deviation computes the average price over a specified period and then calculates the standard deviation of prices from this average. A linear regression is performed on the closing prices over a specified period. The slope of the regression line is used to identify the trend direction, and the standard deviation is used to assess trend stability and filter out noise, working together to clearly identify direction and robustness. Bull/Bear signals are produced based on trend strength reaching specific thresholds, configurable in the settings.
Overbought/Oversold Strength: This strength identifies price exhaustion using a unique formula that aggregates values from several indicators such as RVI, RSI and CCI. RVI captures price trends, RSI measures momentum, and CCI identifies price deviations from the mean, providing a comprehensive view of market conditions. Take profit signals are plotted at points of high price exhaustion, indicating optimal exit prices.
Volume Analysis: Volume spikes are identified and highlighted with colored candles using an ATR calculation that pinpoints outliers in volume. This is calculated using the math.abs function, identifying volume spikes in the last 14 bars. Volume spike candle size can be configured in settings to the user's liking.
Bollinger Band Clouds: The indicator employs Bollinger Band clouds based on WMA, VWMA, and EMA to provide a comprehensive view of market volatility and trend strength. WMA responds quickly to price changes, VWMA incorporates volume, and EMA smooths out data, offering a unique and adaptive perspective on market conditions. This combination is used to provide a unique perspective on market volatility, utilizing different moving averages. These clouds adapt to price fluctuations and offer visual cues to enhance trend analysis.
Utility
This tool provides traders with valuable information for trend-following and reversal strategies across different timeframes. It helps traders by:
-Generating "bull" and "bear" signals to indicate potential long, short and exit points. The precise calculation methods and statistical components used in deriving the trend strength score are designed to filter out market noise and provide a clear indication of prevailing market trends.
-Providing "TP" signals at areas of price exhaustion, areas where taking profit is optimal. These also serve as potential reversal points in the market as they incorporate reversion analysis techniques.
-Highlighting high volume spikes with colored candles to indicate significant market activity. These volatile candles can indicate a significant and rapid surge in price.
-Offering visual insights through Bollinger Band clouds, which help traders assess overbought and oversold conditions on a broad scale. These aid in visualizing potential reversals in the market.
Rationale and Benefits of Component Combination
The combination of trend strength, overbought/oversold strength, volume analysis, and Bollinger Band clouds provides a holistic approach to market analysis and allows users to use various techniques of trading analysis to make sound trading decisions. Each component serves a distinct purpose:
-Trend Strength identifies and confirms the direction and magnitude of market trends, offering clear bull and bear signals. A trend score is calculated to clearly identify where price is strongly trending and where it is quite weak. This customizable feature allows traders to configure this indicator to their liking by only plotting signals when the trend reaches a desired threshold.
-Overbought/Oversold Strength pinpoints areas of price exhaustion, providing crucial take profit and reversal conditions in the market. I combine RSI, RVI, and CCI to provide a more robust reversion score. My rationale for this is to leverage data from multiple indicators, to ensure a comprehensive assessment of price exhaustion rather than relying on a single source.
-Volume Analysis highlights significant market activity, giving traders insights into potential price movements. This feature is included to provide users with a visual representation of price pumps/dumps, that can aid in trading decisions in combination with entry and exit signals.
-Bollinger Band Clouds offer a visual representation of market volatility and trend strength, enhancing the overall analytical framework. Bands were calculated using a mixture of WMA, VWMA, and EMA to diversify data and to bring variety to its display. This can enhance its use as it does not use a single data source and relies on multiple.
Uniqueness:
This indicator stands out due to its innovative integration of standard deviation and regression analysis, offering traders a unique and comprehensive market analysis tool. By combining standard deviation to measure volatility and filter out noise with regression analysis to identify trend direction and strength, it provides insightful trend signals that help traders make informed decisions. This indicator's versatility is enhanced by its customizable settings, allowing traders to adapt it to their specific needs and trading styles with the trend sensitivity setting. Combining RSI, RVI, and CCI for reversion and exit points is unique as it integrates multiple perspectives on price momentum and volatility, providing a more comprehensive assessment of price exhaustion than using any single indicator. Combining WMA, EMA, and VWMA as bands is beneficial and unique as it blends different averaging methods to offer a more nuanced and adaptive view of market volatility and trend strength.
By integrating these components, it delivers a multifaceted tool that addresses various aspects of market analysis, making it a valuable asset for traders seeking to improve their decision-making process.
