DM Support / Resistance (USA Session)This indicator is specifically designed for use on the 4-hour time frame and helps traders identify key support and resistance levels during the USA trading session (9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time). The indicator calculates important price levels to assist in making well-informed entry and exit decisions, particularly for those focusing on swing trades or longer-term intraday strategies. It also includes a feature to skip setups when relevant fundamental news is scheduled, ensuring you avoid trading during periods of high volatility.
Key Features:
Support and Resistance Levels (S1 & R1):
The indicator calculates and displays Support 1 (S1) and Resistance 1 (R1) levels, which act as key barriers for price action and help traders spot potential reversal or breakout zones on the chart.
Pivot Point (PP):
The Pivot Point (PP) is calculated as the average of the previous period's high, low, and close. It serves as a central reference point for market direction, allowing traders to evaluate whether the market is in a bullish or bearish trend.
Market Bias:
The Bias is shown as a histogram that helps traders assess the strength of the market trend. A positive bias suggests bullish sentiment, while a negative bias signals bearish conditions. This can be used to confirm the overall trend direction.
4-Hour Time Frame:
The indicator is optimized for the 4-hour time frame, making it suitable for traders looking for swing trades or those who wish to capture longer-term trends within the USA session. The key support, resistance, and pivot levels are recalculated dynamically to reflect price action over 4-hour periods.
Dynamic Plotting and Alerts:
Support and resistance levels are drawn as dashed horizontal lines, updating in real-time to reflect the most current market data during the USA session. Alerts can be set for significant price movements crossing these levels.
Stop-Loss Strategy Based on 15-Minute Time Frame:
A unique feature of this indicator is its stop-loss strategy, which uses 15-minute time frame support and resistance levels. When a long or short entry is triggered on the 4-hour chart, traders should place their stop-loss according to the relevant 15-minute support or resistance level.
If the price closes above the 15-minute support for a long entry, or closes below the 15-minute resistance for a short entry, it signals the need to exit or adjust your position based on these levels.
Fundamental News Filter:
To avoid unnecessary risk, the indicator incorporates a fundamental news filter. If there is relevant news scheduled during the USA session, such as high-impact economic data or central bank announcements, the indicator will skip the setup for that period. This prevents traders from entering positions during times of elevated volatility caused by news events, which could result in unpredictable price movements.
How to Use:
Long Entry: When the Bias is positive and the price breaks above Support 1 (S1), this signals a potential bullish move. Consider entering a long position at this point.
Stop-Loss Strategy: Set your stop-loss at the respective 15-minute support level. If the price closes below this level, it could signal a reversal, prompting you to exit the trade.
Short Entry: When the Bias is negative and the price breaks below Resistance 1 (R1), this signals a potential bearish move. Enter a short position at this point.
Stop-Loss Strategy: Set your stop-loss at the respective 15-minute resistance level. If the price closes above this level, exit the short trade as it could indicate a bullish reversal.
Pivot Point (PP): The Pivot Point serves as a reference level to gauge potential price reversals. A move above the PP suggests a bullish bias, while trading below the PP suggests a bearish outlook.
Bias Histogram: The Bias Histogram helps confirm trend direction. A positive bias confirms long positions, while a negative bias reinforces short trades.
Avoid Trading During High-Impact News: If there is significant economic news or fundamental events scheduled during the USA session, the indicator will automatically skip any potential setup. This feature ensures you avoid entering trades that might be affected by unexpected news-driven volatility, keeping your trading strategy safer and more reliable.
Why Use This Indicator:
The 4-hour time frame is ideal for traders who prefer swing trading or those looking to capture longer-term trends in a structured manner. This indicator provides crucial insights into market direction, support/resistance levels, and potential entry/exit points.
The stop-loss management based on the 15-minute support and resistance levels helps traders protect their positions from sudden price reversals, ensuring more precise risk management.
The fundamental news filter is particularly useful for avoidance of high-risk periods. By skipping setups during high-impact news events, traders can avoid entering trades when price volatility could be unpredictable.
Overall, this indicator is a powerful tool for traders who want to make data-driven decisions based on technical analysis while ensuring that their positions are managed responsibly and avoiding news-driven risk.

RSI Failure Swing Pattern (with Alerts & Targets)RSI Failure Swing Pattern Indicator – Detailed Description
Overview
The RSI Failure Swing Pattern Indicator is a trend reversal detection tool based on the principles of failure swings in the Relative Strength Index (RSI). This indicator identifies key reversal signals by analyzing RSI swings and confirming trend shifts using predefined overbought and oversold conditions.
Failure swing patterns are one of the strongest RSI-based reversal signals, initially introduced by J. Welles Wilder. This indicator detects these patterns and provides clear buy/sell signals with labeled entry, stop-loss, and profit target levels. The tool is designed to work across all timeframes and assets.
How the Indicator Works
The RSI Failure Swing Pattern consists of two key structures:
1. Bullish Failure Swing (Buy Signal)
Occurs when RSI enters oversold territory (below 30), recovers, forms a higher low above the oversold level, and finally breaks above the intermediate swing high in RSI.
Step 1: RSI dips below 30 (oversold condition).
Step 2: RSI rebounds and forms a local peak.
Step 3: RSI retraces but does not go below the previous low (higher low confirmation).
Step 4: RSI breaks above the previous peak, confirming a bullish trend reversal.
Buy signal is triggered at the breakout above the RSI peak.
2. Bearish Failure Swing (Sell Signal)
Occurs when RSI enters overbought territory (above 70), declines, forms a lower high below the overbought level, and then breaks below the intermediate swing low in RSI.
Step 1: RSI rises above 70 (overbought condition).
Step 2: RSI declines and forms a local trough.
Step 3: RSI bounces but fails to exceed the previous high (lower high confirmation).
Step 4: RSI breaks below the previous trough, confirming a bearish trend reversal.
Sell signal is triggered at the breakdown below the RSI trough.
Features of the Indicator
Custom RSI Settings: Adjustable RSI length (default 14), overbought/oversold levels.
Buy & Sell Signals: Buy/sell signals are plotted directly on the price chart.
Entry, Stop-Loss, and Profit Targets:
Entry: Price at the breakout of the RSI failure swing pattern.
Stop-Loss: Lowest low (for buy) or highest high (for sell) of the previous two bars.
Profit Targets: Two levels calculated based on Risk-Reward ratios (1:1 and 1:2 by default, customizable).
Labeled Price Levels:
Entry Price Line (Blue): Marks the point of trade entry.
Stop-Loss Line (Red): Shows the calculated stop-loss level.
Target 1 Line (Orange): Profit target at 1:1 risk-reward ratio.
Target 2 Line (Green): Profit target at 1:2 risk-reward ratio.
Alerts for Trade Execution:
Buy/Sell signals trigger alerts for real-time notifications.
Alerts fire when price reaches stop-loss or profit targets.
Works on Any Timeframe & Asset: Suitable for stocks, forex, crypto, indices, and commodities.
Why Use This Indicator?
Highly Reliable Reversal Signals: Unlike simple RSI overbought/oversold strategies, failure swings filter out false breakouts and provide strong confirmation of trend reversals.
Risk Management Built-In: Stop-loss and take-profit levels are automatically set based on historical price action and risk-reward considerations.
Easy-to-Use Visualization: Clearly marked entry, stop-loss, and profit target levels make it beginner-friendly while still being valuable for experienced traders.
How to Trade with the Indicator
Buy Trade Example (Bullish Failure Swing)
RSI drops below 30 and recovers.
RSI forms a higher low and then breaks above the previous peak.
Entry: Buy when RSI crosses above its previous peak.
Stop-Loss: Set below the lowest low of the previous two candles.
Profit Targets:
Target 1 (1:1 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Target 2 (1:2 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Sell Trade Example (Bearish Failure Swing)
RSI rises above 70 and then declines.
RSI forms a lower high and then breaks below the previous trough.
Entry: Sell when RSI crosses below its previous trough.
Stop-Loss: Set above the highest high of the previous two candles.
Profit Targets:
Target 1 (1:1 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Target 2 (1:2 Risk-Reward Ratio)
Final Thoughts
The RSI Failure Swing Pattern Indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to identify high-probability trend reversals. By using the RSI failure swing concept along with built-in risk management tools, this indicator provides a structured approach to trading with clear entry and exit points. Whether you’re a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, this indicator helps in capturing momentum shifts while minimizing risk.

DS_Gurukul_5minTrendDS Gurukul (DS_5minTrend) Indicator: A Simple Yet Powerful Trend Tool
The Tushar Daily Bands (DS_5minTrend) indicator is a straightforward tool designed to help traders quickly visualize potential trend reversals and identify profitable trading opportunities. This indicator plots two bands—an upper band (green) and a lower band (red)—based on a small percentage deviation from the closing price of the first candle of each trading day.
How it Works:
The DS_5minTrend indicator calculates these bands at the start of each new trading day. The bands then remain fixed for the rest of that day. This daily reset allows traders to easily see how the current day's price action relates to the opening price and the calculated bands.
Trading Signals:
Potential Reversals: When the price approaches or touches the upper band (green), it can signal a potential overbought condition and a possible reversal to the downside. Conversely, when the price approaches or touches the lower band (red), it can suggest an oversold condition and a possible reversal to the upside.
Trend Confirmation: If the price consistently closes above the upper band for several periods, it may indicate a strong uptrend. Conversely, consistent closes below the lower band can suggest a strong downtrend.
Support and Resistance: The bands can also act as dynamic support and resistance levels. Traders can watch for price bounces off these levels as potential entry points.
How to Use:
Combine with other indicators: While DS_5minTrend can provide valuable insights, it's generally recommended to use it in conjunction with other technical indicators, such as RSI, MACD, or volume analysis, for confirmation.
Consider market context: Always consider the broader market context and news events that may be influencing price action.
Risk Management: Implement proper risk management strategies, including stop-loss orders, to protect your capital.
Disclaimer: The DS_5minTrend indicator is a tool for analysis and should not be the sole basis for making trading decisions. Trading involves substantial risk, and you could lose money. Always do your own research and consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

Dominant Smoothed Volume Pro Smoothed Volume Pro provides a useful tool designed to provide traders with a deeper understanding of market dynamics by analyzing buy and sell volume across multiple timeframes. Unlike traditional volume indicators, this script normalizes volume data from lower timeframes to align with the current chart's timeframe, providing an apples-to-apples comparison. The result is a visual histogram representation of the dominant buy or sell activity, smoothed over 5 different periods to reflect momentum shifts and enhance clarity.
Core Methodology
1. Multi-Timeframe Volume Analysis
This indicator leverages data from five different lower timeframes, each chosen dynamically based on the current chart's timeframe. By aggregating and normalizing these granular data points, the indicator captures subtle shifts in buy and sell volume that might otherwise go unnoticed. This multi-timeframe approach allows for a more detailed and accurate representation of market activity.
2. Data Normalization
Normalization is a critical component of this indicator. It ensures that volume data from lower timeframes is scaled appropriately to match the total volume of the current chart's timeframe. This step eliminates discrepancies caused by varying time intervals, providing a more meaningful comparison of volume trends across different periods.
3. Smoothing for Momentum Representation
The indicator employs five customizable smoothing factors to smooth out noisy volume data.
Each smoothing factor is distinctly color-coded in the histogram and table for intuitive analysis, helping traders quickly identify prevailing trends.
Features and Benefits
➖Customizable Smoothing Factors: Choose from five different smoothing factors, each with its unique settings for line styles, colors, and extensions.
➖Normalized Buy and Sell Volume: Displays normalized buy and sell volumes as a percentage of total activity, aiding in quick decision-making.
➖Visual Cues: Color-coded columns and labels help identify dominant trends at a glance, with high-opacity fills for visual clarity.
➖Dynamic Table: A built-in table summarizes smoothed volume data for each smoothing factor, offering a quick overview of bullish and bearish percentages.
➖Momentum Signals: Detect significant shifts in volume momentum with visually distinct alerts for high relative volumes, including special symbols like "⚡" and "🔥."
Practical Applications
➖Identifying Market Sentiment: Quickly determine whether the market is dominated by buyers or sellers at any given moment.
➖Spotting Reversals: Use momentum shifts in smoothed volume to anticipate potential trend reversals.
➖Enhancing Entry and Exit Points: Combine this indicator with other technical tools to refine entry and exit points in your trading strategy.
Why This Indicator Stands Out
Many existing volume indicators focus solely on raw or single-timeframe data, which can be misleading or incomplete. This indicator sets itself apart by:
Utilizing multi-timeframe data to provide a holistic view of market activity.
Applying robust normalization techniques to ensure data consistency.
Offering advanced smoothing options to emphasize actionable momentum signals.
This unique combination of features makes it an indispensable tool for traders seeking to enhance their market analysis and decision-making process.
As always, by combining the Smoothed Volume Pro with other tools, traders ensure that they are not relying on a single indicator. This layered approach can reduce the likelihood of false signals and improve overall trading accuracy.

Enhanced SMA Strategy with Trend Lines & S&R by DaxThe Enhanced SMA Strategy with Trend Lines & Support/Resistance (S&R) by Dax indicator is a technical analysis tool designed to improve trading decisions by combining the simplicity of the Simple Moving Average (SMA) with the insight provided by trend lines and support/resistance levels. This hybrid approach aims to create a more robust and reliable trading strategy.
Key Components:
Simple Moving Average (SMA):
SMA is a basic trend-following indicator that calculates the average of a set of price data over a specified period. It helps identify the direction of the market, such as whether an asset is in an uptrend or downtrend.
The Enhanced SMA Strategy may use multiple SMAs, such as short-term (e.g., 20-period) and long-term (e.g., 50-period), to detect crossovers that signal buy or sell opportunities. For example, a bullish crossover occurs when a short-term SMA crosses above a long-term SMA, indicating a potential buying signal, while a bearish crossover signals a potential sell.
Trend Lines:
Trend lines are drawn on the price chart to visually identify the direction of the market, acting as dynamic support and resistance levels. A trend line is drawn by connecting two or more price points that demonstrate the overall price movement.
Trend lines can help traders see potential breakout or breakdown points. A price breaking above a downtrend line or below an uptrend line often signals a trend reversal.
Support and Resistance (S&R):
Support levels are price levels where an asset tends to find buying interest and stop falling, while Resistance levels are points where selling pressure emerges and prevent the price from rising further.
These levels are critical in determining where price reversals or consolidations are likely to occur. Enhanced S&R indicators can automatically identify these levels and draw horizontal lines at these critical points on the chart.
Combining S&R with SMA can help traders decide whether a breakout or bounce is likely at these levels, increasing the odds of a successful trade.
How It Works:
Trend Identification: The SMA is used to determine the trend direction. A rising SMA indicates an uptrend, while a falling SMA suggests a downtrend.
Signal Generation: The strategy often uses a combination of SMA crossovers (bullish or bearish) along with the confirmation of price action near trend lines and support/resistance levels. For example:
If a price breaks above resistance and the short-term SMA crosses above the long-term SMA, a buy signal is confirmed.
Conversely, if the price breaks below support and the short-term SMA crosses below the long-term SMA, a sell signal is given.
Dynamic Support/Resistance: Trend lines are drawn automatically or manually to spot areas where price might reverse. The Enhanced SMA Strategy checks if the price is close to these levels, providing a more precise entry/exit point based on the broader market context.
Advantages of the Enhanced SMA Strategy with Trend Lines & S&R:
Improved Accuracy: By combining trend-following (SMA) with key levels like trend lines and S&R, the strategy filters out false signals, leading to more reliable trade setups.
Trend Confirmation: The use of trend lines and S&R confirms the broader market context, reducing the risk of trading against the trend or entering at weak price points.
Flexible: This strategy can be applied to various timeframes, from short-term day trading to longer-term swing trading.
Visual Clarity: The combination of trend lines, S&R, and moving averages provides a clear and visually intuitive strategy for identifying key price levels and trend shifts.
How to Use It:
Draw Trend Lines: Identify the most recent price peaks and troughs to draw trend lines, marking the potential resistance and support levels.
Use SMAs: Apply two different-period SMAs to detect the trend (e.g., 20-period and 50-period). Pay attention to crossovers for buy/sell signals.
Watch for Breakouts or Reversals: Monitor how the price behaves at support or resistance levels and the trend lines. A price move beyond these levels, accompanied by a confirming SMA crossover, can signal a strong trade opportunity.
Conclusion:
The Enhanced SMA Strategy with Trend Lines & S&R by Dax is a powerful, multi-layered approach to technical analysis. It enhances the basic SMA strategy by incorporating additional tools like trend lines and support/resistance levels, which help traders make more informed decisions with higher accuracy. This method is suitable for both novice and experienced traders, offering clear trade signals while reducing the risk of false entries.

Adaptive Volatility-Controlled LSMA [QuantAlgo]Adaptive Volatility-Controlled LSMA by QuantAlgo 📈💫
Introducing the Adaptive Volatility-Controlled LSMA (Least Squares Moving Average) , a powerful trend-following indicator that combines trend detection with dynamic volatility adjustments. This indicator is designed to help traders and investors identify market trends while accounting for price volatility, making it suitable for a wide range of assets and timeframes. By integrating LSMA for trend analysis and Average True Range (ATR) for volatility control, this tool provides clearer signals during both trending and volatile market conditions.
💡 Core Concept and Innovation
The Adaptive Volatility-Controlled LSMA leverages the precision of the LSMA to track market trends and combines it with the sensitivity of the ATR to account for market volatility. LSMA fits a linear regression line to price data, providing a smoothed trend line that is less reactive to short-term noise. The ATR, on the other hand, dynamically adjusts the volatility bands around the LSMA, allowing the indicator to filter out false signals and respond to significant price moves. This combination provides traders with a reliable tool to identify trend shifts while managing risk in volatile markets.
📊 Technical Breakdown and Calculations
The indicator consists of the following components:
1. Least Squares Moving Average (LSMA): The LSMA calculates a linear regression line over a defined period to smooth out price fluctuations and reveal the underlying trend. It is more reactive to recent data than traditional moving averages, allowing for quicker trend detection.
2. ATR-Based Volatility Bands: The Average True Range (ATR) measures market volatility and creates upper and lower bands around the LSMA. These bands expand and contract based on market conditions, helping traders identify when price movements are significant enough to indicate a new trend.
3. Volatility Extensions: To further account for rapid market changes, the bands are extended using additional volatility measures. This ensures that trend signals are generated when price movements exceed both the standard volatility range and the extended volatility range.
⚙️ Step-by-Step Calculation:
1. LSMA Calculation: The LSMA is computed using a least squares regression method over a user-defined length. This provides a trend line that adapts to recent price movements while smoothing out noise.
2. ATR and Volatility Bands: ATR is calculated over a user-defined length and is multiplied by a factor to create upper and lower bands around the LSMA. These bands help detect when price movements are substantial enough to signal a new trend.
3. Trend Detection: The price’s relationship to the LSMA and the volatility bands is used to determine trend direction. If the price crosses above the upper volatility band, a bullish trend is detected. Conversely, a cross below the lower band indicates a bearish trend.
✅ Customizable Inputs and Features:
The Adaptive Volatility-Controlled LSMA offers a variety of customizable options to suit different trading or investing styles:
📈 Trend Settings:
1. LSMA Length: Adjust the length of the LSMA to control its sensitivity to price changes. A shorter length reacts quickly to new data, while a longer length smooths the trend line.
2. Price Source: Choose the type of price (e.g., close, high, low) that the LSMA uses to calculate trends, allowing for different interpretations of price data.
🌊 Volatility Controls:
ATR Length and Multiplier: Adjust the length and sensitivity of the ATR to control how volatility is measured. A higher ATR multiplier widens the bands, making the trend detection less sensitive, while a lower multiplier tightens the bands, increasing sensitivity.
🎨 Visualization and Alerts:
1. Bar Coloring: Customize bar colors to visually distinguish between uptrends and downtrends.
2. Volatility Bands: Enable or disable the display of volatility bands on the chart. The bands provide visual cues about trend strength and volatility thresholds.
3. Alerts: Set alerts for when the price crosses the upper or lower volatility bands, signaling potential trend changes.
📈 Practical Applications
The Adaptive Volatility-Controlled LSMA is ideal for traders and investors looking to follow trends while accounting for market volatility. Its key use cases include:
Identifying Trend Reversals: The indicator detects when price movements break through volatility bands, signaling potential trend reversals.
Filtering Market Noise: By applying ATR-based volatility filtering, the indicator helps reduce false signals caused by short-term price fluctuations.
Managing Risk: The volatility bands adjust dynamically to account for market conditions, helping traders manage risk and improve the accuracy of their trend-following strategies.
⭐️ Summary
The Adaptive Volatility-Controlled LSMA by QuantAlgo offers a robust and flexible approach to trend detection and volatility management. Its combination of LSMA and ATR creates clearer, more reliable signals, making it a valuable tool for navigating trending and volatile markets. Whether you're detecting trend shifts or filtering market noise, this indicator provides the tools you need to enhance your trading and investing strategy.
Note: The Adaptive Volatility-Controlled LSMA is a tool to enhance market analysis. It should be used in conjunction with other analytical tools and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for trading or investment decisions. No signals or indicators constitute financial advice, and past performance is not indicative of future results.
KNN OscillatorOverview
The KNN Oscillator is an advanced technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify potential trend reversals and market momentum. Using the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm, this oscillator normalizes KNN values to create a dynamic and responsive indicator. The oscillator line changes color to reflect the market sentiment, providing clear visual cues for trading decisions.

Persistent Homology Based Trend Strength OscillatorPersistent Homology Based Trend Strength Oscillator
The Persistent Homology Based Trend Strength Oscillator is a unique and powerful tool designed to measure the persistence of market trends over a specified rolling window. By applying the principles of persistent homology, this indicator provides traders with valuable insights into the strength and stability of uptrends and downtrends, helping to inform better trading decisions.
What Makes This Indicator Original?
This indicator's originality lies in its application of persistent homology , a method from topological data analysis, to financial markets. Persistent homology examines the shape and features of data across multiple scales, identifying patterns that persist as the scale changes. By adapting this concept, the oscillator tracks the persistence of uptrends and downtrends in price data, offering a novel approach to trend analysis.
Concepts Underlying the Calculations:
Persistent Homology: This method identifies features such as clusters, holes, and voids that persist as the scale changes. In the context of this indicator, it tracks the duration and stability of price trends.
Rolling Window Analysis: The oscillator uses a specified window size to calculate the average length of uptrends and downtrends, providing a dynamic view of trend persistence over time.
Threshold-Based Trend Identification: It differentiates between uptrends and downtrends based on specified thresholds for price changes, ensuring precision in trend detection.
How It Works:
The oscillator monitors consecutive changes in closing prices to identify uptrends and downtrends.
An uptrend is detected when the closing price increase exceeds a specified positive threshold.
A downtrend is detected when the closing price decrease exceeds a specified negative threshold.
The lengths of these trends are recorded and averaged over the chosen window size.
The Trend Persistence Index is calculated as the difference between the average uptrend length and the average downtrend length, providing a measure of trend persistence.
How Traders Can Use It:
Identify Trend Strength: The Trend Persistence Index offers a clear measure of the strength and stability of uptrends and downtrends. A higher value indicates stronger and more persistent uptrends, while a lower value suggests stronger and more persistent downtrends.
Spot Trend Reversals: Significant shifts in the Trend Persistence Index can signal potential trend reversals. For instance, a transition from positive to negative values might indicate a shift from an uptrend to a downtrend.
Confirm Trends: Use the Trend Persistence Index alongside other technical indicators to confirm the strength and duration of trends, enhancing the accuracy of your trading signals.
Manage Risk: Understanding trend persistence can help traders manage risk by identifying periods of high trend stability versus periods of potential volatility. This can be crucial for timing entries and exits.
Example Usage:
Default Settings: Start with the default settings to get a feel for the oscillator’s behavior. Observe how the Trend Persistence Index reacts to different market conditions.
Adjust Thresholds: Fine-tune the positive and negative thresholds based on the asset's volatility to improve trend detection accuracy.
Combine with Other Indicators: Use the Persistent Homology Based Trend Strength Oscillator in conjunction with other technical indicators such as moving averages, RSI, or MACD for a comprehensive analysis.
Backtesting: Conduct backtesting to see how the oscillator would have performed in past market conditions, helping you to refine your trading strategy.
Volume-Enhanced Momentum Moving Average (VEMMA)Volume-Enhanced Momentum Moving Average (VEMMA)
Overview:
The Volume-Enhanced Momentum Moving Average (VEMMA) helps you spot market trends by combining momentum and volume as a moving average. This unique moving average adjusts itself based on the strength and activity of the market, giving you a clearer picture of what’s happening.
How It Works:
1. Key Settings (all of these are adjustable in the settings panel of the indicator):
◦ Base Length: Looks back over the last 50 days by default.
◦ Momentum Length: Uses the past 14 days to measure market strength.
◦ Volume Length: Uses the past 30 days to average trading volume.
◦ High/Low Thresholds: Considers RSI values above 70 as high momentum and below 30 as low momentum.
2. Momentum and Volume:
◦ Momentum: Calculated using the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to see if the market is gaining or losing strength.
◦ Volume: Average trading volume is calculated over the last 30 days to gauge trading activity.
3. VEMMA Calculation:
◦ For each of the past 50 days:
▪ Check Momentum: If RSI > 70, it’s high momentum; if RSI < 30, it’s low.
▪ Weight by Volume: High momentum days with high volume get more weight; low momentum days get less.
▪ Combine: Multiply the closing price by this weight and sum it up.
◦ Average: Divide the total by 50 to get the VEMMA value.
4. Visuals:
◦ Lines: Two lines, VEMMA1 (blue) and VEMMA2 (orange), show the adjusted moving averages.
◦ Colours: Background colors help you quickly spot high (green) and low (red) momentum periods.
How to Use:
• Spot Trends: Rising VEMMA lines suggest an uptrend; falling lines suggest a downtrend.
• Confirm Signals: When both VEMMA1 and VEMMA2 move together, it indicates a strong trend.
• Identify Reversals: Watch for background color changes from green to red or vice versa to catch potential trend reversals.
If the market has been strong and active, the VEMMA line will rise more sharply. If the market is weak and quiet, the line will be smoother.
Benefits:
• Integrated View: Combines market strength and trading activity for a fuller picture.
• Responsive: Adapts to significant market changes, highlighting key movements.
• Easy to Read: Clear visuals with color-coded backgrounds make interpretation simple.
Remember, just like any other indicator, this is not supposed to be used alone. Use it as part of your greater trading strategy. I do however believe it works exceptionally well for finding longer term trends early. The default VEMMA settings work very well as replacement for the EMA 200. Try it and see how it goes. Play around with the settings. Feedback appreciated.
Turbo Oscillator [RunRox]Introducing Turbo Oscillator by RunRox, our new indicator that combines a multitude of useful and unique features, which we will detail in this post.
List of Advanced Technologies:
Real-Time Divergences: Detects discrepancies between price movements and oscillator indicators to forecast potential price reversals.
Real-Time Hidden Divergences: We identify hidden divergences in real-time. These are not the standard type of divergences; they are opposite to regular divergences, providing unique insights into potential market movements.
Overbought and Oversold Zones: Identifies areas where the market is potentially overextended, suggesting possible entry and exit points.
Signal Line: Indicates the market direction, helping traders to quickly understand current trends.
Money Flow Histogram: Shows the flow of money into and out of the market, providing insights into buying and selling pressure.
Predicted Reversal Zones: Pinpoints areas where the market might experience reversals, aiding in strategic planning and risk management. These zones also serve as potential areas for taking profits, enhancing their utility for exit strategy planning.
Customizable Alerts: You can flexibly set up alerts for any events detected by our indicator, ensuring you stay informed about critical market movements.
To begin with, I would like to describe the difference between classic divergences and hidden divergences.
As you can see, these are opposite situations. Our oscillator identifies both types of divergences and displays them in real-time.
Divergences can serve as points where the price might reverse in the opposite direction, making both classic and hidden divergences powerful tools for spotting reversal points. I'll show a few examples of how divergences are used in our oscillator.
Classic Divergences - which we identify in real-time. As you can see, the price often reacts strongly to the formation of these divergences, frequently changing its direction.
Hidden Divergences - we also observe frequent movement in the opposite direction on the chart. The advantage of our indicator is that we show divergences in real-time without delays, allowing you to react immediately to trend changes.
Overbought and Oversold Zones - These zones allow you to see trend changes when the price is clearly overbought or oversold. When the color changes from a contrasting shade to a neutral one, you can observe the trend shift. The lines work by combining the positivity/negativity of the histogram, the positivity/negativity of the signal line, and the direction of the signal line (red/green). This sophisticated interaction provides precise insights into market conditions, making it an invaluable tool for traders.
Signal Line - This provides insights into trend changes and price reversals. The points on the line better indicate the beginning of a trend shift. These points can vary in size, offering a clearer understanding of the strength of the emerging trend. This feature works in combination with RSI, Stochastic, and MFI. RSI and MFI are top-tier indicators, while Stochastic adds responsiveness and sensitivity to trend changes, ensuring you capture every market movement accurately and promptly.
Money Flow Histogram - As shown in the example, our histogram displays the divergence between money flow and the actual price. You can see that while the price is rising, the money flow is decreasing, indicating insufficient demand for the asset and an imminent trend change. This feature uses MFI with an extended period, providing a more comprehensive and accurate analysis of market conditions. The extended period enhances the reliability of the Money Flow Index, making it an essential tool for identifying subtle shifts in market dynamics.
Predicted Reversal Zones - We automatically identify potential price reversal zones and display them above our overbought and oversold zones. In cases of strong overbought or oversold conditions, we detect potential price pullbacks and mark the beginning of a trend change. This helps you better identify trend shifts. We recommend considering these zones as potential take profit points for your trades.
Customizable Alerts - Our flexible alert system allows you to receive notifications only for the events you are interested in. These can include:
1. Classic Divergences
2. Hidden Divergences
3. Overbought or Oversold conditions on the status line
4. Strong Overbought or Oversold conditions on the status line
5. Signals from the signal line
6. Reversal zones in any direction
Our oscillator is a unique indicator that provides a comprehensive understanding of price movements. It can be used as a standalone tool for analyzing price action.
Here are a few examples of using our Oscillator in practice:
In the example above, you can see three conditions that have formed for a potential trade:
1. Clear overbought condition with a formed reversal point.
2. Decreasing Money Flow Index diverging from the rising price.
3. Formed classic divergence.
The entry point could be the formed divergence, while the exit point could be the overbought condition at the bottom of the oscillator along with the reversal points.
Here's another example of using hidden divergence, where you can see three conditions for a potential trade:
1. Overbought zone
2. Formed hidden divergence
3. Start of bearish movement indicated by the signal line
You can enter the trade either when the hidden divergence forms or wait for confirmation of the trend change by the signal line and enter the trade when the corresponding signal forms on the signal line. The exit point could be the opposite reversal point or the formation of a new hidden divergence.
We have demonstrated a few examples of how you can use our indicator, but we are confident that you will find many more applications in your own strategies.
Oscillator offers a variety of customizable parameters to tailor the indicator to your trading preferences. Here’s what our settings include:

Exponential Directional Index (DI)Exponential Directional Index (DI)
This indicator calculates the Exponential Directional Index (DI) using the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of true range and directional movement. The DI is a widely used technical analysis tool that measures the strength of a trend by comparing positive and negative directional movements.
How it Works:
- **EMA Length:** Traders can adjust the length of the EMA calculation according to their trading preferences. A longer EMA length will result in a smoother DI line, while a shorter length will be more responsive to recent price action.
- **True Range (TR):** The true range is the greatest of the following: current high minus the current low, absolute value of the current high minus the previous close, and the absolute value of the current low minus the previous close.
- **Positive Directional Movement (+DM):** Calculates the difference between the current high and the previous high if positive, otherwise, it assigns a value of zero.
- **Negative Directional Movement (-DM):** Calculates the difference between the previous low and the current low if positive, otherwise, it assigns a value of zero.
- **Smoothed True Range (ATR):** Calculates the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the true range over the specified EMA length.
- **Smoothed Positive Directional Movement (+DI):** Calculates the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the positive directional movement over the specified EMA length.
- **Smoothed Negative Directional Movement (-DI):** Calculates the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the negative directional movement over the specified EMA length.
- **Directional Movement Index (DMI):** Calculates the DI values by dividing the smoothed positive and negative directional movements by the smoothed true range and multiplying by 100.
- **Bar Color:** The bar color changes based on whether the +DI is greater than, less than, or equal to the -DI. Green bars indicate that +DI is greater than -DI, red bars indicate that -DI is greater than +DI, and blue bars indicate that +DI is equal to -DI.
- **Background Highlight:** A background highlight is applied when the +DI crosses over the -DI or vice versa, providing a visual indication of potential trend changes.
Ideal Usage:
- **Trend Strength:** Traders can use the DI to gauge the strength of a trend. A rising +DI indicates bullish strength, while a rising -DI indicates bearish strength.
- **Trend Reversals:** Changes in the relationship between +DI and -DI, along with crossover signals, can indicate potential trend reversals.
- **Customization:** The indicator offers flexibility through customizable parameters, allowing traders to adapt it to various market conditions and trading strategies.
Warnings:
- **False Signals:** Like any technical indicator, false signals may occur, especially during periods of low volume or choppy market conditions. It's essential to use additional analysis and risk management techniques to avoid potential losses.
- **Parameter Sensitivity:** Adjusting the EMA length can affect the indicator's sensitivity to price movements. Traders should test different parameter settings and consider market conditions when using the indicator.
Disparity IndexThe Disparity Index is a technical momentum indicator that measures the relative position of the most recent closing price to a selected moving average. It calculates the percentage difference between the closing price and the moving average, providing insights into price momentum and potential reversals.
The formula for the Disparity Index is: * 100, where Close is the most recent closing price and n-period MA is the chosen moving average over n periods.
The Disparity Index can be used in various ways:
Trend Identification: The Disparity Index helps identify the relationship between the price and a chosen moving average. A positive value indicates that the price is above the moving average, suggesting bullish momentum, while a negative value suggests bearish momentum.
Overbought and Oversold Conditions: The Disparity Index can be used to identify potential overbought and oversold conditions. When the index reaches an extremely high value, it may indicate an overbought condition, implying a possible price correction. Conversely, an extremely low value can signal an oversold condition, indicating a potential price rebound.
Divergence: Traders can use the Disparity Index to identify divergence between the price and the indicator. Divergence occurs when the price and the Disparity Index move in opposite directions, potentially signaling an upcoming price reversal.
Personal Strategy: When the Disparity Index generates a green background, it suggests a potential bullish signal. This occurs when the Disparity Index crosses above the oversold threshold or exhibits a bullish reversal pattern. The green background signifies an area where buyers may have gained control, indicating a favorable environment for initiating long positions. This approach allows you to capitalize on potential upward price movements and join the uptrend.
On the other hand, when the Disparity Index generates a red background, it implies a potential bearish signal. This occurs when the Disparity Index crosses below the overbought threshold or exhibits a bearish reversal pattern. The red background highlights a zone where sellers might dominate, indicating a higher likelihood of downward price movements. By considering selling opportunities in these zones, you can position yourself to profit from potential downside moves and align with the prevailing downtrend.
The Disparity Index can be customized by using different types of moving averages such as simple moving averages (SMAs), exponential moving averages (EMAs), or weighted moving averages (WMAs). Additionally, it can be smoothed using another moving average to reduce noise and generate smoother signals, improving trend identification.
In trending markets, the Disparity Index is particularly effective as a trend indicator due to its ability to quickly capture price changes. It can provide early indications of trend strength and potential reversals, allowing traders to enter or exit positions in a timely manner. This advantage over traditional moving averages makes the Disparity Index a valuable tool for trend-following strategies.

Multi Time Frame Normalized PriceEnhance Your Trading Experience with the Multi Time Frame Normalized Price Indicator
Introduction
As a trader, having a clear and informative chart is crucial for making informed decisions. In this post, we will introduce the Multi Time Frame Normalized Price (MTFNP) Indicator, an innovative trading tool that offers an insightful perspective on price action. The script creates a symmetric chart, with the time axis going from top to bottom, making it easier to identify potential tops and bottoms in various ranges. Let's dive deeper into this powerful tool to understand how it works and how it can improve your trading experience.
The Multi Time Frame Normalized Price Indicator
The MTFNP Indicator is designed to provide a comprehensive view of price action across multiple time frames. By plotting the normalized price levels for each time frame, traders can easily identify areas of support and resistance, as well as potential tops and bottoms in various ranges.
One of the key features of this indicator is the symmetry of the chart. Instead of the traditional horizontal time axis, the MTFNP Indicator plots the time axis vertically from top to bottom. This innovative approach makes it easier for traders to visualize the price action across different time frames, enabling them to make more informed decisions.
Benefits of a Symmetric Chart
There are several advantages to using a symmetric chart with a vertical time axis, such as:
Easier to read: The unique layout of the chart makes it easier to analyze price action across multiple time frames. The clear separation between each time frame helps traders avoid confusion and identify important price levels more effectively.
Identifying tops and bottoms: The symmetric presentation of price action enables traders to quickly spot potential tops and bottoms in various ranges. This can be particularly useful for identifying potential reversal points or areas of support and resistance.
Improved decision-making: By offering a comprehensive view of price action, the MTFNP Indicator helps traders make better-informed decisions. This can lead to improved trading strategies and ultimately, better results.
The MTFNP Indicator Script
The MTFNP Indicator script leverages several custom functions, including the Chebyshev Type I Moving Average, to provide a smooth and responsive signal. Additionally, the indicator uses the Spider Plot function to create a symmetric chart with the time axis going from top to bottom.
To customize the MTFNP Indicator to your preferences, you can adjust the input parameters, such as the standard deviation length, multiplier, axes color, bottom color, and top color. You can also change the scale to fit your desired chart size.
Exploring the Relationship between Min, Max Values and Time Frames
In the Multi Time Frame Normalized Price (MTFNP) script, it is crucial to understand the relationship between the min and max values across different time frames. By analyzing how these values relate to each other, traders can make more informed decisions about market trends and potential reversals. In this section, we will dive deep into the relationship between the current time frame's min and max values and those of the further-out time frames.
Interpreting Min and Max Values Across Time Frames
When analyzing the min and max values of the current time frame in relation to the further-out time frames, it is essential to keep in mind the following points:
All min values: If the current time frame and all further-out time frames have min values, this is a strong indication that the current price level is not just a local minimum. Instead, it is likely a more significant support level. In such cases, there is a higher probability that the price will bounce back upwards, making it a potentially favorable entry point for a long position.
All max values: Conversely, if the current time frame and all further-out time frames have max values, this suggests that the current price level is not just a local maximum. Instead, it is likely a more significant resistance level. In these situations, there is a higher probability that the price will reverse downwards, making it a potentially favorable entry point for a short position.
Neutral values with high current time frame: If the current time frame has a high value while the further-out time frames are more neutral, it could indicate that the trend may continue. This is because the high value in the current time frame may signify momentum in the market, whereas the neutral values in the further-out time frames suggest that the trend has not yet reached an extreme level. In this case, traders might consider following the trend and entering a position in the direction of the current movement.
Neutral values with low current time frame: If the current time frame has a low value while the further-out time frames are more neutral, it could indicate that the trend may reverse. This is because the low value in the current time frame may suggest a potential reversal point, whereas the neutral values in the further-out time frames imply that the trend has not yet reached an extreme level. In this case, traders might consider entering a counter-trend position, anticipating a potential reversal.
Balancing Different Time Frames for Optimal Decision Making
It is essential to remember that relying solely on min and max values across different time frames can lead to potential pitfalls. The market is influenced by a wide array of factors, and no single indicator or data point can provide a complete picture. To make the most informed decisions, traders should consider incorporating additional technical analysis tools and evaluating the overall market context.
Moreover, it is crucial to maintain a balance between the current time frame and the further-out time frames. While the current time frame provides information about the most recent market movements, the further-out time frames offer a broader perspective on the market's historical behavior. By combining insights from both types of time frames, traders can make more comprehensive assessments of potential opportunities and risks.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Multi Time Frame Normalized Price (MTFNP) script offers traders valuable insights by analyzing the relationship between the current time frame and further-out time frames. By identifying potential trend reversals and continuations, traders can make better-informed decisions about market entry and exit points.
Understanding the relationship between min and max values across different time frames is an essential component of using the MTFNP script effectively. By carefully analyzing these relationships and incorporating additional technical analysis tools, traders can improve their decision-making process and enhance their overall trading strategy.
However, it is important to remember that relying solely on the MTFNP script or any single indicator can lead to potential pitfalls. The market is influenced by a wide array of factors, and no single indicator or data point can provide a complete picture. To make the most informed decisions, traders should consider using a combination of technical analysis tools, evaluating the overall market context, and maintaining a balance between the current time frame and the further-out time frames for a comprehensive understanding of the market's behavior. By doing so, they can increase their chances of success in the ever-changing and complex world of trading.
Liquidity Sweep with EMAThis Pine Script indicator helps traders identify potential market reversals based on liquidity sweeps, where the price moves through the previous candle's low or high and then closes above or below the previous candle's wick. These are often seen as significant market moves or liquidity grabs before a potential reversal or continuation.
The indicator is also equipped with an EMA (Exponential Moving Average) as an optional visual aid to give traders a sense of the prevailing trend, though it is not used as part of the signal generation logic.
Key Features:
Liquidity Sweep Detection:
Bullish Sweep: Triggered when the current candle sweeps below the low of the previous candle and then closes above the high of the previous candle. This indicates a potential market reversal to the upside after the liquidity sweep.
Bearish Sweep: Triggered when the current candle sweeps above the high of the previous candle and then closes below the low of the previous candle. This indicates a potential market reversal to the downside after the liquidity sweep.
EMA:
The EMA (50) is plotted on the chart for visual trend guidance. While it is not used to confirm the signals, it can help traders see if the market is in a general uptrend or downtrend.
Signal Presentation:
Buy Signal: The indicator will plot a green upward arrow below the candle when a bullish liquidity sweep is detected.
Sell Signal: The indicator will plot a red downward arrow above the candle when a bearish liquidity sweep is detected.
Timeframe Filter:
The indicator only generates signals on the following timeframes: 30-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and Daily. This helps to ensure the sweeps are significant and likely to result in meaningful price moves.
Alerts:
Alerts can be set up for both bullish and bearish sweep signals, so traders can be notified when these events occur.
Customizable:
EMA Length: The length of the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) can be adjusted. By default, it is set to 50, but you can modify this to fit your trading strategy.
Show EMA Option: You can toggle whether or not to display the EMA line on the chart.
How It Works:
The indicator looks for price action patterns where the current candle sweeps through the high or low of the previous candle and closes beyond the previous wick.
These patterns are often seen as potential traps, where the price initially moves in one direction (sweeping the liquidity) and then quickly reverses, making them important for traders who want to catch reversals or breakouts after a liquidity sweep.
The EMA (50) gives a general trend direction but doesn't directly affect the trade signals. It serves as a visual reference for trend analysis.
Potential Use Cases:
Reversal Trading: Traders can use this indicator to catch reversals after a liquidity sweep. The green upward arrows may indicate a bullish reversal, while the red downward arrows may indicate a bearish reversal.
Trend Trading: The EMA can help traders gauge the overall market trend. If the price is above the EMA, the market may be in an uptrend, and traders may focus on bullish sweeps. Conversely, if the price is below the EMA, the market may be in a downtrend, and traders may focus on bearish sweeps.
Confirmation with Other Indicators: Although the EMA is not used to confirm signals in this script, it can be combined with other indicators (like RSI, Volume, or MACD) to enhance the accuracy of your trades.
Final Thoughts:
This script is designed to identify liquidity sweeps and price reversals based on price action alone, without relying on complex indicators. The optional EMA serves as a helpful tool for understanding the overall market trend. It’s ideal for traders looking to spot potential reversal points after significant price sweeps and is suitable for multiple timeframes (30m, 1h, 4h, Daily).

Enhanced Fuzzy SMA Analyzer (Multi-Output Proxy) [FibonacciFlux]EFzSMA: Decode Trend Quality, Conviction & Risk Beyond Simple Averages
Stop Relying on Lagging Averages Alone. Gain a Multi-Dimensional Edge.
The Challenge: Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) tell you where the price was , but they fail to capture the true quality, conviction, and sustainability of a trend. Relying solely on price crossing an average often leads to chasing weak moves, getting caught in choppy markets, or missing critical signs of trend exhaustion. Advanced traders need a more sophisticated lens to navigate complex market dynamics.
The Solution: Enhanced Fuzzy SMA Analyzer (EFzSMA)
EFzSMA is engineered to address these limitations head-on. It moves beyond simple price-average comparisons by employing a sophisticated Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) that intelligently integrates multiple critical market factors:
Price deviation from the SMA ( adaptively normalized for market volatility)
Momentum (Rate of Change - ROC)
Market Sentiment/Overheat (Relative Strength Index - RSI)
Market Volatility Context (Average True Range - ATR, optional)
Volume Dynamics (Volume relative to its MA, optional)
Instead of just a line on a chart, EFzSMA delivers a multi-dimensional assessment designed to give you deeper insights and a quantifiable edge.
Why EFzSMA? Gain Deeper Market Insights
EFzSMA empowers you to make more informed decisions by providing insights that simple averages cannot:
Assess True Trend Quality, Not Just Location: Is the price above the SMA simply because of a temporary spike, or is it supported by strong momentum, confirming volume, and stable volatility? EFzSMA's core fuzzyTrendScore (-1 to +1) evaluates the health of the trend, helping you distinguish robust moves from noise.
Quantify Signal Conviction: How reliable is the current trend signal? The Conviction Proxy (0 to 1) measures the internal consistency among the different market factors analyzed by the FIS. High conviction suggests factors are aligned, boosting confidence in the trend signal. Low conviction warns of conflicting signals, uncertainty, or potential consolidation – acting as a powerful filter against chasing weak moves.
// Simplified Concept: Conviction reflects agreement vs. conflict among fuzzy inputs
bullStrength = strength_SB + strength_WB
bearStrength = strength_SBe + strength_WBe
dominantStrength = max(bullStrength, bearStrength)
conflictingStrength = min(bullStrength, bearStrength) + strength_N
convictionProxy := (dominantStrength - conflictingStrength) / (dominantStrength + conflictingStrength + 1e-10)
// Modifiers (Volatility/Volume) applied...
Anticipate Potential Reversals: Trends don't last forever. The Reversal Risk Proxy (0 to 1) synthesizes multiple warning signs – like extreme RSI readings, surging volatility, or diverging volume – into a single, actionable metric. High reversal risk flags conditions often associated with trend exhaustion, providing early warnings to protect profits or consider counter-trend opportunities.
Adapt to Changing Market Regimes: Markets shift between high and low volatility. EFzSMA's unique Adaptive Deviation Normalization adjusts how it perceives price deviations based on recent market behavior (percentile rank). This ensures more consistent analysis whether the market is quiet or chaotic.
// Core Idea: Normalize deviation by recent volatility (percentile)
diff_abs_percentile = ta.percentile_linear_interpolation(abs(raw_diff), normLookback, percRank) + 1e-10
normalized_diff := raw_diff / diff_abs_percentile
// Fuzzy sets for 'normalized_diff' are thus adaptive to volatility
Integrate Complexity, Output Clarity: EFzSMA distills complex, multi-factor analysis into clear, interpretable outputs, helping you cut through market noise and focus on what truly matters for your decision-making process.
Interpreting the Multi-Dimensional Output
The true power of EFzSMA lies in analyzing its outputs together:
A high Trend Score (+0.8) is significant, but its reliability is amplified by high Conviction (0.9) and low Reversal Risk (0.2) . This indicates a strong, well-supported trend.
Conversely, the same high Trend Score (+0.8) coupled with low Conviction (0.3) and high Reversal Risk (0.7) signals caution – the trend might look strong superficially, but internal factors suggest weakness or impending exhaustion.
Use these combined insights to:
Filter Entry Signals: Require minimum Trend Score and Conviction levels.
Manage Risk: Consider reducing exposure or tightening stops when Reversal Risk climbs significantly, especially if Conviction drops.
Time Exits: Use rising Reversal Risk and falling Conviction as potential signals to take profits.
Identify Regime Shifts: Monitor how the relationship between the outputs changes over time.
Core Technology (Briefly)
EFzSMA leverages a Mamdani-style Fuzzy Inference System. Crisp inputs (normalized deviation, ROC, RSI, ATR%, Vol Ratio) are mapped to linguistic fuzzy sets ("Low", "High", "Positive", etc.). A rules engine evaluates combinations (e.g., "IF Deviation is LargePositive AND Momentum is StrongPositive THEN Trend is StrongBullish"). Modifiers based on Volatility and Volume context adjust rule strengths. Finally, the system aggregates these and defuzzifies them into the Trend Score, Conviction Proxy, and Reversal Risk Proxy. The key is the system's ability to handle ambiguity and combine multiple, potentially conflicting factors in a nuanced way, much like human expert reasoning.
Customization
While designed with robust defaults, EFzSMA offers granular control:
Adjust SMA, ROC, RSI, ATR, Volume MA lengths.
Fine-tune Normalization parameters (lookback, percentile). Note: Fuzzy set definitions for deviation are tuned for the normalized range.
Configure Volatility and Volume thresholds for fuzzy sets. Tuning these is crucial for specific assets/timeframes.
Toggle visual elements (Proxies, BG Color, Risk Shapes, Volatility-based Transparency).
Recommended Use & Caveats
EFzSMA is a sophisticated analytical tool, not a standalone "buy/sell" signal generator.
Use it to complement your existing strategy and analysis.
Always validate signals with price action, market structure, and other confirming factors.
Thorough backtesting and forward testing are essential to understand its behavior and tune parameters for your specific instruments and timeframes.
Fuzzy logic parameters (membership functions, rules) are based on general heuristics and may require optimization for specific market niches.

Volume-Weighted MA Crossover [AlphaAlgos]Volume-Weighted MA Crossover
Overview:
The Volume-Weighted MA Crossover is a sophisticated trend-following indicator designed to capture reliable trend reversals and trend continuation signals using volume and price action. By combining the power of Volume-Weighted Moving Averages (VWMA) and the simplicity of Simple Moving Averages (SMA) , this indicator provides a more robust and reliable trend filter. It ensures that trend signals are supported by strong market volume, offering a deeper insight into market strength and potential price movements.
How It Works:
The Volume-Weighted MA Crossover indicator calculates a Volume-Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) of the chosen price source (typically close ), which takes into account both the price and volume of each bar. This ensures that price movements with higher volume are weighted more heavily, providing a better reflection of actual market sentiment.
In conjunction with the VWMA, a traditional Simple Moving Average (SMA) is used to filter out noise and smooth price data, providing a more stable trend direction. The crossover between the VWMA and SMA serves as the primary trading signal:
Long Signal (Bullish Crossover) : The VWMA crosses above the SMA, indicating that a strong bullish trend is likely underway, supported by increased volume and price action.
Short Signal (Bearish Crossover) : The VWMA crosses below the SMA, signaling that a bearish trend is emerging, backed by decreasing volume and price reversal.
The Volume-Weighted MA Crossover can be used as a standalone indicator or in conjunction with other tools to enhance your trading strategy, offering both trend-following and volume confirmation.
Key Features:
Volume Sensitivity : The VWMA adjusts the moving average based on volume, providing a more accurate representation of price action during high-volume periods. This makes the indicator more sensitive to market dynamics, ensuring that price movements during significant volume spikes are prioritized.
Trend Confirmation : The crossover of the VWMA and SMA offers clear and actionable signals, helping traders identify trend reversals early and with more confidence.
Clean Signal Presentation : With color-coded signal markers , this indicator makes it easy to spot actionable entry points.
Customizable Settings : Tailor the VWMA and SMA periods, volume multiplier, and source price according to your preferred market conditions and timeframes, allowing the indicator to fit your trading style.
How to Use It:
Trend Direction : Look for crossovers between the VWMA and SMA to identify potential trend changes:
Volume Confirmation : The volume-weighted aspect of this indicator ensures that trends are confirmed by volume. A bullish trend with a VWMA crossing above the SMA suggests that the upward movement is supported by strong market sentiment (high volume). Conversely, a bearish trend with a VWMA crossing below the SMA indicates a reversal is supported by volume reduction.
Trend Continuation & Reversal : This indicator works particularly well during strong trending markets. However, it can also identify potential reversals, particularly during periods of high volume and rapid price changes.
Best Timeframe to Use:
This indicator is adaptable to multiple timeframes and can be used across various market types. However, it tends to work most effectively on medium to long-term charts (such as 1-hour, 4-hour, and daily charts) where trends have the potential to develop more clearly and with more volume participation.
Ideal for:
Trend-following traders looking for reliable signals that are confirmed by both price action and volume.
Swing traders who want to enter trades at the beginning of a new trend or after a confirmed trend reversal.
Day traders seeking clear and easy-to-read signals on intra-day charts, helping to pinpoint optimal entry and exit points during volatile market conditions.
Conclusion:
The Volume-Weighted MA Crossover is an essential tool for any trader looking to improve their trend-following strategy. By incorporating both volume and price action into a VWMA and SMA crossover , it offers a more refined approach to identifying and confirming trends. Whether you're a trend follower , swing trader , or day trader , this indicator provides clear, actionable signals backed by volume confirmation, giving you the confidence to execute your trades with precision.
