Advanced Multi-Timeframe Momentum Matrix📊 Advanced Multi-Timeframe Momentum Matrix (AMTMM)
🎯 What Makes This Indicator Original
AMTMM is a sophisticated momentum analysis system that combines four distinct timeframes into a single weighted composite score using institutional-grade quantitative methods. Unlike traditional single-timeframe stochastic or RSI indicators, AMTMM employs:
Multi-Timeframe Weighted Composite Scoring - Aggregates momentum from Short (35%), Medium (30%), Long (20%), and Macro (15%) timeframes into one coherent signal, similar to how institutional traders analyze market structure across multiple horizons simultaneously.
Volatility-Adaptive Thresholds - Dynamically adjusts overbought/oversold levels based on ATR-derived volatility regimes, preventing premature signals during range expansion and contraction. The thresholds expand during high volatility and contract during calm periods, unlike static 70/30 levels.
Volume-Weighted Momentum Calculation - Optionally weights momentum signals by volume flow, giving higher significance to price moves accompanied by institutional volume, filtering out low-conviction noise.
Integrated Market Regime Detection - Uses ADX-style directional movement analysis combined with volatility range expansion to classify markets as Trending, Ranging, or Neutral, automatically filtering signals to match current market structure.
Statistical Normalization via Percentrank - Instead of raw stochastic values (0-100 bounded by recent highs/lows), AMTMM uses percentile ranking over extended periods, providing statistically consistent readings regardless of volatility regime.
📈 What It Does
AMTMM provides traders with:
Unified Momentum Score (0-100): A single composite line representing the confluence of multiple timeframe momentums
Automatic Regime Classification: Visual background coloring showing whether markets are trending (trade momentum) or ranging (avoid or fade)
High-Probability Signal Alerts: Buy/sell signals filtered by momentum strength and regime appropriateness
Divergence Detection: Automated identification of price-momentum divergences indicating potential reversals
Quality Scoring: Real-time signal quality assessment (0-100%) helping traders prioritize setups
Live Dashboard: Displays current momentum, strength, regime, signal quality, and divergence status
🔬 How It Works - Underlying Methodology
1. Multi-Timeframe Momentum Calculation
The indicator calculates normalized momentum independently for four configurable timeframes:
Short-Term (default: 1x base period): Captures intraday/scalping moves
Medium-Term (default: 3x base period): Identifies swing trading opportunities
Long-Term (default: 7x base period): Tracks position trading trends
Macro (default: 14x base period): Monitors institutional positioning
Calculation Process:
Applies stochastic calculation to close vs high/low over period × base_period
Optionally weights by volume ratio (current volume / average volume) to detect institutional flow
Smooths using selectable MA type (SMA/EMA/WMA/VWMA/HMA)
Normalizes via percentile ranking over 2× the calculation period for statistical consistency
Combines all four timeframes using fixed institutional weights: 35%-30%-20%-15%
2. Adaptive Threshold System
Traditional oscillators use static overbought/oversold levels (70/30), which fail during volatility shifts.
AMTMM's Adaptive Method:
Calculates ATR(14) and compares to ATR(50) SMA to determine volatility regime
Computes volatility ratio = current_ATR / average_ATR
Adjusts thresholds dynamically: adjusted_level = base_level + (volatility_ratio - 1) × 15
Bounds adjustments between 10-90 to prevent extreme outliers
Result: Thresholds expand in choppy markets, contract in calm trends
3. Market Regime Filter
Uses directional movement analysis to classify market structure:
Calculation:
Computes positive/negative directional movement (DM+ and DM-)
Calculates directional indicators (DI+ and DI-) via exponential smoothing
Derives directional index (DX) measuring trend strength
Smooths DX into ADX-equivalent value
Combines with ATR range expansion/contraction
Scores regime: Positive = Trending, Negative = Ranging
Signal Application:
Suppresses momentum signals during ranging conditions (yellow background)
Allows momentum signals during trending conditions (blue background)
Prevents whipsaw trades in sideways markets
4. Divergence Detection Algorithm
Identifies price-momentum discrepancies using pivot analysis:
Bullish Divergence:
Detects when price forms a lower low
But momentum forms a higher low
Indicates weakening selling pressure, potential reversal up
Bearish Divergence:
Detects when price forms a higher high
But momentum forms a lower high
Indicates weakening buying pressure, potential reversal down
Uses configurable lookback pivot detection (default: 5 bars left/right)
5. Signal Quality Scoring
Each signal receives a 0-100% quality score combining:
Momentum Strength: Rate of change of composite momentum (percentile ranked over 50 bars)
Regime Score: Absolute value of trending/ranging classification
Combined Score: (Strength + |Regime|) / 2
Only signals exceeding the threshold (default: 30%) generate alerts, filtering out low-conviction setups.
🎓 How To Use It
Understanding the Display
Main Composite Line:
0-20 (Deep Red/Blue): Extreme oversold - potential reversal zone
20-35 (Light Red/Blue): Oversold - watch for bounce
35-50 (Neutral): Below equilibrium, bearish bias
50-65 (Neutral): Above equilibrium, bullish bias
65-80 (Light Green/Orange): Overbought - watch for pullback
80-100 (Bright Green/Red): Extreme overbought - potential reversal zone
Background Colors:
Blue Tint: Trending market - trade breakouts, follow momentum, let winners run
Yellow Tint: Ranging market - reduce size, avoid momentum trades, or fade extremes
No Tint: Neutral/transitional - normal cautious trading
Signal Markers:
Triangle Up (Green): Strong buy signal - momentum crossing up through oversold with high strength
Triangle Down (Red): Strong sell signal - momentum crossing down through overbought with high strength
Diamond (Lime/Maroon): Extreme signals - divergence + extreme level combination
"D" Labels (Aqua/Pink): Divergence detected - watch for confirmation
Faint Background Lines (when enabled):
Blue: Short-term momentum component
Orange: Medium-term momentum component
Purple: Long-term momentum component
Shows which timeframes are driving the composite move

Confirm signal quality >40% in dashboard
Enter long on confirmation bar
Hold while composite remains >50 and trending
Exit on red triangle or momentum crossing below 50
Mean Reversion (Ranging Markets - Yellow Background):
Wait for composite to reach extreme levels (<20 or >80)
Look for divergence "D" marker
Enter counter-trend on reversal confirmation
Target opposite extreme or midline (50)
Use tight stops due to ranging conditions
Divergence Trading (Any Regime):
Spot "D" divergence label at momentum extreme
Wait for momentum to cross back through 50 level
Confirm with diamond signal if possible
Enter in direction of momentum shift
Target adaptive overbought/oversold level
Best Practices:
Higher signal quality = higher win rate, prioritize >60% setups
Align trades with long-term component direction for best results
Reduce position size or avoid trading during yellow (ranging) backgrounds
Combine with price action, support/resistance for optimal entries
Use momentum strength to gauge conviction - stronger = hold longer

We Buy / We Sell - #TheStrat SignalsWe Buy / We Sell - #TheStrat SignalsDescription
This indicator is inspired by the #TheStrat methodology from Rob Smith, designed to identify high-probability "We Buy" (bullish) and "We Sell" (bearish) signals for trading stocks, ETFs, or futures like AMEX:SPY or $VSAT. It combines price action reversal patterns, higher timeframe continuity (HTFC), and optional broadening formation (BF) breaks to time entries with market momentum. Key Features: We Buy Signals: Triggered on a 2d-2u reversal (bearish to bullish candle) when the higher timeframe (HTF) is bullish (green) and optionally at a BF bottom (pivot low break). Labeled as "We Buy" at the candle’s low with a green triangle.
We Sell Signals: Triggered on a 2u-2d reversal (bullish to bearish candle) when the HTF is bearish (red) and optionally at a BF top (pivot high break). Labeled as "We Sell" at the candle’s high with a red triangle.
Candle Numbering: Displays #TheStrat candle types (1=Inside, 2u=Up, 2d=Down, 3=Outside) for context.
Debug Labels: Enabled by default, showing why signals don’t fire (e.g., "No HTFC Buy" if HTF isn’t bullish).
Partial Signals: Optional faint circles for 2d-2u or 2u-2d reversals (without HTFC/BF), disabled by default.
HTFC Background: Green (HTF bullish) or red (HTF bearish) background for timeframe alignment.
How It Works
Based on #TheStrat, the indicator seeks evidence of aggressive buying ("We Buy") or selling ("We Sell") by analyzing: Reversal Patterns: 2d-2u (We Buy): A bearish directional candle (2d) followed by a bullish directional candle (2u), signaling a potential bullish reversal.
2u-2d (We Sell): A bullish directional candle (2u) followed by a bearish directional candle (2d), signaling a potential bearish reversal.
Higher Timeframe Continuity (HTFC): We Buy requires the HTF (e.g., 1H or Daily) to close above its open (bullish).
We Sell requires the HTF to close below its open (bearish).
Broadening Formation (BF): Optional pivot high/low breaks approximate BF extremes (tops for We Sell, bottoms for We Buy).
Can be disabled (use_bf=false) for more frequent signals.
How to Use Setup: Apply to a 5min chart of a liquid asset (e.g., AMEX:SPY , NASDAQ:VSAT ) for intraday trading, or higher timeframes for swing trading.
Ensure sufficient chart history (TradingView > Chart Settings > Max Bars > 1000+).
Settings: Higher Timeframe (htf): Default "60" (1H). Try "15" (15min) for faster signals or "D" (Daily) for swing trades.
Pivot Lookback Length (pivot_len): Default 3. Lower to 1 for more signals, higher for stricter BF breaks.
Require Broadening Formation (use_bf): Default true. Set to false to skip BF checks, increasing signal frequency.
Show We Buy/We Sell Labels: Default true. Shows "We Buy" or "We Sell" on signal candles.
Show Candle Numbers: Default true. Displays 1/2u/2d/3 for #TheStrat context.
Show Debug Labels: Default true. Shows "No HTFC Buy", "No BF Buy", etc., to diagnose missing signals.
Show Partial Signals: Default false. Enable to show faint circles for 2d-2u/2u-2d reversals without HTFC/BF.
Trading: We Buy: Enter long on a green "We Buy" label (with triangle). Set stops below the signal candle’s low. Target BF highs or resistance.
We Sell: Enter short on a red "We Sell" label (with triangle). Set stops above the signal candle’s high. Target BF lows or support.
Use debug labels to understand why signals don’t fire (e.g., "No HTFC Buy" means HTF isn’t bullish).
Partial signals (faint circles) indicate reversals without full conditions, useful for discretionary setups.
Alerts: Right-click the indicator > "Add Alert" on we_buy or we_sell for real-time notifications.
Tips Best Assets: Use on liquid tickers like AMEX:SPY , NASDAQ:QQQ , or NASDAQ:VSAT , as seen in @AlexsOptions
’ examples.
Volatility: Signals are more frequent in trending or volatile markets. Check historical periods (e.g., September 2025) for testing.
Risk Management: Always use stops (e.g., 1-2% risk per trade) and validate signals with market context (e.g., sector/index alignment).
Learning #TheStrat: Study Rob Smith’s #TheStrat for deeper understanding of candle types and FTFC.
Troubleshooting No Signals? Check debug labels (e.g., "No HTFC Buy" means HTF isn’t bullish). Adjust htf (e.g., "15" or "D").
Set use_bf=false or lower pivot_len to 1 for more signals.
Ensure reversals (2d-2u or 2u-2d) are present (check candle numbers).
Test on volatile periods or liquid tickers.
No Partial Signals? Enable show_partial in settings to see faint circles for 2d-2u/2u-2d reversals.
Confirm reversal patterns exist (e.g., "2d" → "2u" in candle numbers).

Triple SuperTrend + RSI + Fib BBTriple SuperTrend + RSI + Fibonacci Bollinger Bands Strategy
📊 Overview
This advanced trading strategy combines the power of three SuperTrend indicators with RSI confirmation and Fibonacci Bollinger Bands to generate high-probability trade signals. The strategy is designed to capture strong trending moves while filtering out false signals through multi-indicator confluence.
🔧 Core Components
Three SuperTrend Indicators
The strategy uses three SuperTrend indicators with progressively longer periods and multipliers:
SuperTrend 1: 10-period ATR, 1.0 multiplier (fastest, most sensitive)
SuperTrend 2: 11-period ATR, 2.0 multiplier (medium sensitivity)
SuperTrend 3: 12-period ATR, 3.0 multiplier (slowest, most stable)
This layered approach ensures that all three timeframe perspectives align before generating a signal, significantly reducing false entries.
RSI Confirmation (7-period)
The Relative Strength Index acts as a momentum filter:
Long signals require RSI > 50 (bullish momentum)
Short signals require RSI < 50 (bearish momentum)
This prevents entries during weak or divergent price action.
Fibonacci Bollinger Bands (200, 2.618)
Uses a 200-period Simple Moving Average with 2.618 standard deviation bands (Fibonacci ratio). These bands serve dual purposes:
Visual representation of price extremes
Automatic exit trigger when price reaches overextended levels
📈 Entry Logic
LONG Entry (BUY Signal)
A LONG position is opened when ALL of the following conditions are met simultaneously:
All three SuperTrend indicators turn green (bullish)
RSI(7) is above 50
This is the first bar where all conditions align (no repainting)
SHORT Entry (SELL Signal)
A SHORT position is opened when ALL of the following conditions are met simultaneously:
All three SuperTrend indicators turn red (bearish)
RSI(7) is below 50
This is the first bar where all conditions align (no repainting)
🚪 Exit Logic
Positions are automatically closed when ANY of these conditions occur:
SuperTrend Color Change: Any one of the three SuperTrend indicators changes direction
Fibonacci BB Touch: Price reaches or exceeds the upper or lower Fibonacci Bollinger Band (2.618 standard deviations)
This dual-exit approach protects profits by:
Exiting quickly when trend momentum shifts (SuperTrend change)
Taking profits at statistical price extremes (Fib BB touch)
🎨 Visual Features
Signal Arrows

💡 Strategy Philosophy
This strategy is built on the principle of confluence trading - waiting for multiple independent indicators to align before taking a position. By requiring three SuperTrend indicators AND RSI confirmation, the strategy filters out the majority of low-probability setups.
The multi-timeframe SuperTrend approach ensures that short-term, medium-term, and longer-term trends are all in agreement, which typically occurs during strong, sustainable price moves.
The exit strategy is equally important, using both trend-following logic (SuperTrend changes) and mean-reversion logic (Fibonacci BB touches) to adapt to different market conditions.
📊 Best Use Cases
Trending Markets: Works best in markets with clear directional bias
Higher Timeframes: Designed for 15-minute to daily charts
Volatile Assets: SuperTrend indicators excel in assets with clear trends
Swing Trading: Hold times typically range from hours to days
⚠️ Important Notes
No Repainting: All signals are confirmed and will not change on historical bars
One Signal Per Setup: The strategy prevents duplicate signals on consecutive bars
Exit Protection: Always exits before potentially taking an opposite position
Visual Clarity: All three SuperTrend lines are visible simultaneously for transparency
🎯 Recommended Settings
While default parameters are optimized for general use, consider:
Crypto/Volatile Markets: May benefit from slightly higher multipliers
Forex: Default settings work well for major pairs
Stocks: Consider longer BB periods (250-300) for daily charts
Lower Timeframes: Reduce all periods proportionally for scalping
📝 Alerts
Built-in alert conditions for:
BUY signal triggered
SELL signal triggered
EXIT signal triggered
Set up notifications to never miss a trade opportunity!

1. WHY THIS INDICATOR IS DIFFERENT
Most traders use multiple separate indicators on their charts, leading to cluttered screens, conflicting signals, and analysis paralysis. The Suite solves this by integrating proven technical tools into a single, cohesive system.
Key Advantages:
All-in-One Design: Instead of loading 5-10 separate indicators, you get everything in one optimized script. This reduces chart clutter and improves TradingView performance.
Multi-Timeframe Bias Table: Unlike standard indicators that only show the current timeframe, the Bias Table aggregates trend signals across multiple timeframes simultaneously. See at a glance whether 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h are aligned bullish or bearish - no more switching between charts.
Smart Confirmations: The indicator doesn't just give signals - it shows you WHY. Every entry has multiple layers of confirmation (MA cross, MACD momentum, ADX strength, RSI pullback, volume, etc.) that you can toggle on/off.
Dynamic Stop Loss System: Instead of static ATR stops, the SL is calculated from multiple support/resistance layers: UT trailing line, Supertrend, VWAP, swing structure, and MA levels. This creates more intelligent, price-action-aware stops.
R-Multiple Take Profits: Built-in TP system calculates targets based on your initial risk (1R, 1.5R, 2R, 3R). Lines freeze when touched with visual checkmarks, giving you a clean audit trail of partial exits.
Educational Tooltips Everywhere: Every single input has detailed tooltips explaining what it does, typical values, and how it impacts trading. You're not guessing - you're learning as you configure.
Performance Optimized: Smart caching, conditional calculations, and modular design mean the indicator runs fast despite having 15+ features. Turn off what you don't use for even better performance.
No Repainting: All signals respect bar close. Alerts fire correctly. What you see in history is what you would have gotten in real-time.
What Makes It Unique:
Integrated UT Bot + Bias Table: No other indicator combines UT Bot's ATR trailing system with a live multi-timeframe dashboard. You get precision entries with macro trend context.
Candlestick Pattern Recognition with Interactive Tooltips: Patterns aren't just marked - hover over any emoji for a full explanation of what the pattern means and how to trade it.
Opening Range Breakout Tracker: Built-in ORB system for intraday traders with customizable session times and real-time status updates in the Bias Table.
Previous Day High/Low Auto-Detection: Automatically plots PDH/PDL on intraday charts with theme-aware colors. Updates daily without manual input.
Dynamic Row Labels in Bias Table: The table shows your actual settings (e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20") not generic labels. You know exactly what's being evaluated.
Modular Filter System: Instead of forcing a fixed methodology, the indicator lets you build your own strategy. Start with just UT Bot, add filters one at a time, test what works for your style.
---
2. WHO WHOULD USE THIS
Designed For:
Intermediate to Advanced Traders: You understand basic technical analysis (MAs, RSI, MACD) and want to combine multiple confirmations efficiently. This isn't a "one-click profit" system - it's a professional toolkit.
Multi-Timeframe Traders: If you trade one asset but check multiple timeframes for confirmation (e.g., enter on 5m after checking 15m and 1h alignment), the Bias Table will save you hours every week.
Trend Followers: The indicator excels at identifying and following trends using UT Bot, Supertrend, and MA systems. If you trade breakouts and pullbacks in trending markets, this is built for you.
Intraday and Swing Traders: Works equally well on 5m-1h charts (day trading) and 4h-D charts (swing trading). Scalpers can use it too with appropriate settings adjustments.
Discretionary Traders: This isn't a black-box system. You see all the components, understand the logic, and make final decisions. Perfect for traders who want tools, not automation.
Works Across All Markets:
Stocks (US, international)
Cryptocurrency (24/7 markets supported)
Forex pairs
Indices (SPY, QQQ, etc.)
Commodities
NOT Ideal For :
Complete Beginners: If you don't know what a moving average or RSI is, start with basics first. This indicator assumes foundational knowledge.
Algo Traders Seeking Black Box: This is discretionary. Signals require context and confirmation. Not suitable for blind automated execution.
Mean-Reversion Only Traders: The indicator is trend-following at its core. While VWAP bands support mean-reversion, the primary methodology is trend continuation.
---
3. CORE COMPONENTS OVERVIEW
The indicator combines these proven systems:
Trend Analysis:
Moving Averages: Four customizable MAs (Fast, Medium, Medium-Long, Long) with six types to choose from (EMA, SMA, WMA, VWMA, RMA, HMA). Mix and match for your style.
Supertrend: ATR-based trend indicator with unique gradient fill showing trend strength. One-sided ribbon visualization makes it easier to see momentum building or fading.
ZLSMA : Zero-lag linear-regression smoothed moving average. Reduces lag compared to traditional MAs while maintaining smooth curves.
Momentum & Filters:
MACD: Standard MACD with separation filter to avoid weak crossovers.
RSI: Pullback zone detection - only enter longs when RSI is in your defined "buy zone" and shorts in "sell zone".
ADX/DMI: Trend strength measurement with directional filter. Ensures you only trade when there's actual momentum.
Volume Filter: Relative volume confirmation - require above-average volume for entries.
Donchian Breakout: Optional channel breakout requirement.
Signal Systems:
UT Bot: The primary signal generator. ATR trailing stop that adapts to volatility and gives clear entry/exit points.
Base Signals: MA cross system with all the above filters applied. More conservative than UT Bot alone.
Market Bias Table: Multi-timeframe dashboard showing trend alignment across 7 timeframes plus macro bias (3-day, weekly, monthly, quarterly, VIX).
Candlestick Patterns: Six major reversal patterns auto-detected with interactive tooltips.
ORB Tracker: Opening range high/low with breakout status (intraday only).
PDH/PDL: Previous day levels plotted automatically on intraday charts.
VWAP + Bands : Session-anchored VWAP with up to three standard deviation band pairs.
---
4. THE UT BOT TRADING SYSTEM
The UT Bot is the heart of the indicator's signal generation. It's an advanced ATR trailing stop that adapts to market volatility.
Why UT Bot is Superior to Fixed Stops:
Traditional ATR stops use a fixed multiplier (e.g., "stop = entry - 2×ATR"). UT Bot is smarter:
It TRAILS the stop as price moves in your favor
It WIDENS during high volatility to avoid premature stops
It TIGHTENS during consolidation to lock in profits
It FLIPS when price breaks the trailing line, signaling reversals
Visual Elements You'll See:
Orange Trailing Line: The actual UT stop level that adapts bar-by-bar
Buy/Sell Labels: Aqua triangle (long) or orange triangle (short) when the line flips
ENTRY Line: Horizontal line at your entry price (optional, can be turned off)
Suggested Stop Loss: A composite SL calculated from multiple support/resistance layers:
- UT trailing line
- Supertrend level
- VWAP
- Swing structure (recent lows/highs)
- Long-term MA (200)
- ATR-based floor
Take Profit Lines: TP1, TP1.5, TP2, TP3 based on R-multiples. When price touches a TP, it's marked with a checkmark and the line freezes for audit trail purposes.
Status Messages: "SL Touched ❌" or "SL Frozen" when the trade leg completes.
How UT Bot Differs from Other ATR Systems:
Multiple Filters Available: You can require 2-bar confirmation, minimum % price change, swing structure alignment, or ZLSMA directional filter. Most UT implementations have none of these.
Smart SL Calculation: Instead of just using the UT line as your stop, the indicator suggests a better SL based on actual support/resistance. This prevents getting stopped out by wicks while keeping risk controlled.
Visual Audit Trail: All SL/TP lines freeze when touched with clear markers. You can review your trades weeks later and see exactly where entries, stops, and targets were.
Performance Options: "Draw UT visuals only on bar close" lets you reduce rendering load without affecting logic or alerts - critical for slower machines or 1m charts.
Trading Logic:
UT Bot flips direction (Buy or Sell signal appears)
Check Bias Table for multi-timeframe confirmation
Optional: Wait for Base signal or candlestick pattern
Enter at signal bar close or next bar open
Place stop at "Suggested Stop Loss" line
Scale out at TP levels (TP1, TP2, TP3)
Exit remaining position on opposite UT signal or stop hit

5. UNDERSTANDING THE MARKET BIAS TABLE
This is the indicator's unique multi-timeframe intelligence layer. Instead of looking at one chart at a time, the table aggregates signals across seven timeframes plus macro trend bias.
Why Multi-Timeframe Analysis Matters:
Professional traders check higher and lower timeframes for context:
Is the 1h uptrend aligning with my 5m entry?
Are all short-term timeframes bullish or just one?
Is the daily trend supportive or fighting me?
Doing this manually means opening multiple charts, checking each indicator, and making mental notes. The Bias Table does it automatically in one glance.
Table Structure:
Header Row:
On intraday charts: 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h (toggle which ones you want)
On daily+ charts: D, W, M (automatic)
Green dot next to title = live updating
Headline Rows - Macro Bias:
These show broad market direction over longer periods:
3 Day Bias: Trend over last 3 trading sessions (uses 1h data)
Weekly Bias: Trend over last 5 trading sessions (uses 4h data)
Monthly Bias: Trend over last 30 daily bars
Quarterly Bias: Trend over last 13 weekly bars
VIX Fear Index: Market regime based on VIX level - bullish when low, bearish when high
Opening Range Breakout: Status of price vs. session open range (intraday only)
These rows show text: "BULLISH", "BEARISH", or "NEUTRAL"
Indicator Rows - Technical Signals:
These evaluate your configured indicators across all active timeframes:
Fast MA > Medium MA (shows your actual MA settings, e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20")
Price > Long MA (e.g., "Price > SMA 200")
Price > VWAP
MACD > Signal
Supertrend (up/down/neutral)
ZLSMA Rising
RSI In Zone
ADX ≥ Minimum
These rows show emojis: GREEB (bullish), RED (bearish), GRAY/YELLOW (neutral/NA)
AVG Column:
Shows percentage of active timeframes that are bullish for that row. This is the KEY metric:
AVG > 70% = strong multi-timeframe bullish alignment
AVG 40-60% = mixed/choppy, no clear trend
AVG < 30% = strong multi-timeframe bearish alignment
How to Use the Table:
For a long trade:
Check AVG column - want to see > 60% ideally
Check headline bias rows - want to see BULLISH, not BEARISH
Check VIX row - bullish market regime preferred
Check ORB row (intraday) - want ABOVE for longs
Scan indicator rows - more green = better confirmation
For a short trade:
Check AVG column - want to see < 40% ideally
Check headline bias rows - want to see BEARISH, not BULLISH
Check VIX row - bearish market regime preferred
Check ORB row (intraday) - want BELOW for shorts
Scan indicator rows - more red = better confirmation
When AVG is 40-60%:
Market is choppy, mixed signals. Either stay out or reduce position size significantly. These are low-probability environments.
Unique Features:
Dynamic Labels: Row names show your actual settings (e.g., "EMA 10 > SMA 20" not generic "Fast > Slow"). You know exactly what's being evaluated.
Customizable Rows: Turn off rows you don't care about. Only show what matters to your strategy.
Customizable Timeframes: On intraday charts, disable 1m or 4h if you don't trade them. Reduces calculation load by 20-40%.
Automatic HTF Handling: On Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts, the table automatically switches to D/W/M columns. No configuration needed.
Performance Smart: "Hide BIAS table on 1D or above" option completely skips all table calculations on higher timeframes if you only trade intraday.
---
6. CANDLESTICK PATTERN RECOGNITION
The indicator automatically detects six major reversal patterns and marks them with emojis at the relevant bars.
Why These Six Patterns:
These are the most statistically significant reversal patterns according to trading literature:
High win rate when appearing at support/resistance
Clear visual structure (not subjective)
Work across all timeframes and assets
Studied extensively by institutions
The Patterns:
Bullish Patterns (appear at bottoms):
Bullish Engulfing: Green candle completely engulfs prior red candle's body. Strong reversal signal.
Hammer: Small body with long lower wick (at least 2× body size). Shows rejection of lower prices by buyers.
Morning Star: Three-candle pattern (large red → small indecision → large green). Very strong bottom reversal.
Bearish Patterns (appear at tops):
Bearish Engulfing: Red candle completely engulfs prior green candle's body. Strong reversal signal.
Shooting Star: Small body with long upper wick (at least 2× body size). Shows rejection of higher prices by sellers.
Evening Star: Three-candle pattern (large green → small indecision → large red). Very strong top reversal.
Interactive Tooltips:
Unlike most pattern indicators that just draw shapes, this one is educational:
Hover your mouse over any pattern emoji
A tooltip appears explaining: what the pattern is, what it means, when it's most reliable, and how to trade it
No need to memorize - learn as you trade
Noise Filter:
"Min candle body % to filter noise" setting prevents false signals:
Patterns require minimum body size relative to price
Filters out tiny candles that don't represent real buying/selling pressure
Adjust based on asset volatility (higher % for crypto, lower for low-volatility stocks)
How to Trade Patterns:
Patterns are NOT standalone entry signals. Use them as:
Confirmation: UT Bot gives signal + pattern appears = stronger entry
Reversal Warning: In a trade, opposite pattern appears = consider tightening stop or taking profit
Support/Resistance Validation: Pattern at key level (PDH, VWAP, MA 200) = level is being respected
Best combined with:
UT Bot or Base signal in same direction
Bias Table alignment (AVG > 60% or < 40%)
Appearance at obvious support/resistance
---
7. VISUAL TOOLS AND FEATURES
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
Session-anchored VWAP with standard deviation bands. Shows institutional "fair value" for the trading session.
Anchor Options: Session, Day, Week, Month, Quarter, Year. Choose based on your trading timeframe.
Bands: Up to three pairs (X1, X2, X3) showing statistical deviation. Price at outer bands often reverses.
Auto-Hide on HTF: VWAP hides on Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts automatically unless you enable anchored mode.
Use VWAP as:
Directional bias (above = bullish, below = bearish)
Mean reversion levels (outer bands)
Support/resistance (the VWAP line itself)
Previous Day High/Low:
Automatically plots yesterday's high and low on intraday charts:
Updates at start of each new trading day
Theme-aware colors (dark text for light charts, light text for dark charts)
Hidden automatically on Daily/Weekly/Monthly charts
These levels are critical for intraday traders - institutions watch them closely as support/resistance.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB):
Tracks the high/low of the first 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes of the trading session:
Customizable session times (preset for NYSE, LSE, TSE, or custom)
Shows current breakout status in Bias Table row (ABOVE, BELOW, INSIDE, BUILDING)
Intraday only - auto-disabled on Daily+ charts
ORB is a classic day trading strategy - breakout above opening range often leads to continuation.
Extra Labels:
Change from Open %: Shows how far price has moved from session open (intraday) or daily open (HTF). Green if positive, red if negative.
ADX Badge: Small label at bottom of last bar showing current ADX value. Green when above your minimum threshold, red when below.
RSI Badge: Small label at top of last bar showing current RSI value with zone status (buy zone, sell zone, or neutral).
These labels provide quick at-a-glance confirmation without needing separate indicator windows.

8. HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
Step 1: Add to Chart
Load the indicator on your chosen asset and timeframe
First time: Everything is enabled by default - the chart will look busy
Don't panic - you'll turn off what you don't need
Step 2: Start Simple
Turn OFF everything except:
UT Bot labels (keep these ON)
Bias Table (keep this ON)
Moving Averages (Fast and Medium only)
Suggested Stop Loss and Take Profits
Hide everything else initially. Get comfortable with the basic UT Bot + Bias Table workflow first.
Step 3: Learn the Core Workflow
UT Bot gives a Buy or Sell signal
Check Bias Table AVG column - do you have multi-timeframe alignment?
If yes, enter the trade
Place stop at Suggested Stop Loss line
Scale out at TP levels
Exit on opposite UT signal
Trade this simple system for a week. Get a feel for signal frequency and win rate with your settings.
Step 4: Add Filters Gradually
If you're getting too many losing signals (whipsaws in choppy markets), add filters one at a time:
Try: "Require 2-Bar Trend Confirmation" - wait for 2 bars to confirm direction
Try: ADX filter with minimum threshold - only trade when trend strength is sufficient
Try: RSI pullback filter - only enter on pullbacks, not chasing
Try: Volume filter - require above-average volume
Add one filter, test for a week, evaluate. Repeat.
Step 5: Enable Advanced Features (Optional)
Once you're profitable with the core system, add:
Supertrend for additional trend confirmation
Candlestick patterns for reversal warnings
VWAP for institutional anchor reference
ORB for intraday breakout context
ZLSMA for low-lag trend following
Step 6: Optimize Settings
Every setting has a detailed tooltip explaining what it does and typical values. Hover over any input to read:
What the parameter controls
How it impacts trading
Suggested ranges for scalping, day trading, and swing trading
Start with defaults, then adjust based on your results and style.
Step 7: Set Up Alerts
Right-click chart → Add Alert → Condition: "Luxy Momentum v6" → Choose:
"UT Bot — Buy" for long entries
"UT Bot — Sell" for short entries
"Base Long/Short" for filtered MA cross signals
Optionally enable "Send real-time alert() on UT flip" in settings for immediate notifications.
Common Workflow Variations:
Conservative Trader:
UT signal + Base signal + Candlestick pattern + Bias AVG > 70%
Enter only at major support/resistance
Wider UT sensitivity, multiple filters
Aggressive Trader:
UT signal + Bias AVG > 60%
Enter immediately, no waiting
Tighter UT sensitivity, minimal filters
Swing Trader:
Focus on Daily/Weekly Bias alignment
Ignore intraday noise
Use ORB and PDH/PDL less (or not at all)
Wider stops, patient approach

9. PERFORMANCE AND OPTIMIZATION
The indicator is optimized for speed, but with 15+ features running simultaneously, chart load time can add up. Here's how to keep it fast:
Biggest Performance Gains:
Disable Unused Timeframes: In "Time Frames" settings, turn OFF any timeframe you don't actively trade. Each disabled TF saves 10-15% calculation time. If you only day trade 5m, 15m, 1h, disable 1m, 2h, 4h.
Hide Bias Table on Daily+: If you only trade intraday, enable "Hide BIAS table on 1D or above". This skips ALL table calculations on higher timeframes.
Draw UT Visuals Only on Bar Close: Reduces intrabar rendering of SL/TP/Entry lines. Has ZERO impact on logic or alerts - purely visual optimization.
Additional Optimizations:
Turn off VWAP bands if you don't use them
Disable candlestick patterns if you don't trade them
Turn off Supertrend fill if you find it distracting (keep the line)
Reduce "Limit to 10 bars" for SL/TP lines to minimize line objects
Performance Features Built-In:
Smart Caching: Higher timeframe data (3-day bias, weekly bias, etc.) updates once per day, not every bar
Conditional Calculations: Volume filter only calculates when enabled. Swing filter only runs when enabled. Nothing computes if turned off.
Modular Design: Every component is independent. Turn off what you don't need without breaking other features.
Typical Load Times:
5m chart, all features ON, 7 timeframes: ~2-3 seconds
5m chart, core features only, 3 timeframes: ~1 second
1m chart, all features: ~4-5 seconds (many bars to calculate)
If loading takes longer, you likely have too many indicators on the chart total (not just this one).

10. FAQ
Q: How is this different from standard UT Bot indicators?
A: Standard UT Bot (originally by @QuantNomad) is just the ATR trailing line and flip signals. This implementation adds:
- Volume weighting and momentum adjustment to the trailing calculation
- Multiple confirmation filters (swing, %, 2-bar, ZLSMA)
- Smart composite stop loss system from multiple S/R layers
- R-multiple take profit system with freeze-on-touch
- Integration with multi-timeframe Bias Table
- Visual audit trail with checkmarks
Q: Can I use this for automated trading?
A: The indicator is designed for discretionary trading. While it has clear signals and alerts, it's not a mechanical system. Context and judgment are required.
Q: Does it repaint?
A: No. All signals respect bar close. UT Bot logic runs intrabar but signals only trigger on confirmed bars. Alerts fire correctly with no lookahead.
Q: Do I need to use all the features?
A: Absolutely not. The indicator is modular. Many profitable traders use just UT Bot + Bias Table + Moving Averages. Start simple, add complexity only if needed.
Q: How do I know which settings to use?
A: Every single input has a detailed tooltip. Hover over any setting to see:
What it does
How it affects trading
Typical values for scalping, day trading, swing trading
Start with defaults, adjust gradually based on results.
Q: Can I use this on crypto 24/7 markets?
A: Yes. ORB will not work (no defined session), but everything else functions normally. Use "Day" anchor for VWAP instead of "Session".
Q: The Bias Table is blank or not showing.
A: Check:
"Show Table" is ON
Table position isn't overlapping another indicator's table (change position)
At least one row is enabled
"Hide BIAS table on 1D or above" is OFF (if on Daily+ chart)
Q: Why are candlestick patterns not appearing?
A: Patterns are relatively rare by design - they only appear at genuine reversal points. Check:
Pattern toggles are ON
"Min candle body %" isn't too high (try 0.05-0.10)
You're looking at a chart with actual reversals (not strong trending market)
Q: UT Bot is too sensitive/not sensitive enough.
A: Adjust "Sensitivity (Key×ATR)". Lower number = tighter stop, more signals. Higher number = wider stop, fewer signals. Read the tooltip for guidance.
Q: Can I get alerts for the Bias Table?
A: The Bias Table is a dashboard for visual analysis, not a signal generator. Set alerts on UT Bot or Base signals, then manually check Bias Table for confirmation.
Q: Does this work on stocks with low volume?
A: Yes, but turn OFF the volume filter. Low volume stocks will never meet relative volume requirements.
Q: How often should I check the Bias Table?
A: Before every entry. It takes 2 seconds to glance at the AVG column and headline rows. This one check can save you from fighting the trend.
Q: What if UT signal and Base signal disagree?
A: UT Bot is more aggressive (ATR trailing). Base signals are more conservative (MA cross + filters). If they disagree, either:
Wait for both to align (safest)
Take the UT signal but with smaller size (aggressive)
Skip the trade (conservative)
There's no "right" answer - depends on your risk tolerance.

WOW Intraday Tracker by Dev🎯 WOW Intraday Tracker: Professional Trade Execution & R/R Analysis
The WOW Intraday Tracker (V1.30 Final) is an advanced, invite-only tool built for disciplined intraday trading. It transforms market signals into a fully managed trade, providing both real-time execution confidence and objective performance review.
************************************************************************************
✨ Core Execution Features
The Tracker automates the most critical aspects of trade management:
Automatic Entry Trigger: The script uses a proprietary multi-factor scoring system to identify high-probability setups. Once a trade signal is validated and its Score meets the Activation Threshold (which is visible in the Running Trade Table), the entry order (Long or Short) is automatically triggered and monitored.
Trade Grade Qualification: Crucially, every setup is assigned a Trade Grade (A+, A, or B) before entry, based on structural confluence, allowing traders to qualify the setup quality instantly.
Initial SL & Multiple Targets (TGTs): All trades are established with risk-defined parameters from the start.
Initial Stop-Loss (SL): Automatically calculated based on user-defined ATR Multiples to align risk with current volatility.
Multiple Take-Targets (TGTs): Two distinct target levels (TGT1 and TGT2) are set based on user-defined R-Multiples (Risk-to-Reward ratios) to facilitate a partial profit-taking strategy.
Dynamic Trailing & Stop Adjustment: As the trade progresses, the script automatically manages risk, adjusting the stop-loss upon TGT hits to lock in profit.
Signal Cancellation Feature: To protect capital, the script actively monitors the signal's health. If the internal trade score drops below the configurable Cancellation Threshold before entry, the pending order is automatically invalidated and cleared.
⚖️ Trade Exit and Weighted R/R Assumptions
The script's primary function is to track and calculate a Weighted Risk-to-Reward (R/R) based on a predetermined exit plan:
Target 1 (T1): 30% of the original position. Stop is adjusted to protect profits.
Target 2 (T2): Another 30% of the original position. Trailing Stop begins based on a volatility factor.
Final Exit: Rest 40% of the original position. Exited when the Trailing Stop is hit.
Important Note: The Trailing Stop is tracked on a closing basis within the script. While you can choose to exit the trade manually on a hit basis or book profits based on your personal judgment, the script's final Weighted R/R calculation is based on the assumption that the position exits as detailed above.
**************************************************************************************
📊 Global R/R Tracker Table (Performance by Grade)
This powerful feature provides objective, actionable data for trade review. It continuously tallies your performance, broken down by the quality (Grade) of the trade setup.
The table tracks performance for A+, A, and B grade setups, plus a TOTAL row, based on your chosen lookback (Full History or Day Start)
By separating performance by Grade, you gain a clear, evidence-based understanding of which setups truly deserve your capital and focus.
*************************************************************************************
🎨 Advanced Customization & Styling

RSI Donchian Channel [DCAUT]█ RSI Donchian Channel
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The RSI Donchian Channel represents an important synthesis of two complementary analytical frameworks: momentum oscillators and breakout detection systems. This indicator addresses a common limitation in traditional RSI analysis by replacing fixed overbought/oversold thresholds with adaptive zones derived from historical RSI extremes.
Key Enhancement:
Traditional RSI analysis relies on static threshold levels (typically 30/70), which may not adequately reflect changing market volatility regimes. This indicator adapts the reference zones dynamically based on the actual RSI behavior over the lookback period, helping traders identify meaningful momentum extremes relative to recent price action rather than arbitrary fixed levels.
The implementation combines the proven momentum measurement capabilities of RSI with Donchian Channel's breakout detection methodology, creating a framework that identifies both momentum exhaustion points and potential continuation signals through the same analytical lens.
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Core Calculation Process:
Step 1: RSI Calculation
The Relative Strength Index measures momentum by comparing the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses:
Calculate price changes between consecutive periods
Separate positive changes (gains) from negative changes (losses)
Apply selected smoothing method (RMA standard, also supports SMA, EMA, WMA) to both gain and loss series
Compute Relative Strength (RS) as the ratio of smoothed gains to smoothed losses
Transform RS into bounded 0-100 scale using the formula: RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
Step 2: Donchian Channel Application
The Donchian Channel identifies the highest and lowest RSI values within the specified lookback period:
Upper Channel: Highest RSI value over the lookback period, represents the recent momentum peak
Lower Channel: Lowest RSI value over the lookback period, represents the recent momentum trough
Middle Channel (Basis): Average of upper and lower channels, serves as equilibrium reference
Channel Width Dynamics:
The distance between upper and lower channels reflects RSI volatility. Wide channels indicate high momentum variability, while narrow channels suggest momentum consolidation and potential breakout preparation. The indicator monitors channel width over a 100-period window to identify squeeze conditions that often precede significant momentum shifts.
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Primary Signal Categories:
Breakout Signals:
Upper Breakout: RSI crosses above the upper channel, indicates momentum reaching new relative highs and potential trend continuation, particularly significant when accompanied by price confirmation
Lower Breakout: RSI crosses below the lower channel, suggests momentum reaching new relative lows and potential trend exhaustion or reversal setup
Breakout strength is enhanced when the channel is narrow prior to the breakout, indicating a transition from consolidation to directional movement
Mean Reversion Signals:
Upper Touch Without Breakout: RSI reaches the upper channel but fails to break through, may indicate momentum exhaustion and potential reversal opportunity
Lower Touch Without Breakout: RSI reaches the lower channel without breakdown, suggests potential bounce as momentum reaches oversold extremes
Return to Basis: RSI moving back toward the middle channel after touching extremes signals momentum normalization
Trend Strength Assessment:
Sustained Upper Channel Riding: RSI consistently remains near or above the upper channel during strong uptrends, indicates persistent bullish momentum
Sustained Lower Channel Riding: RSI stays near or below the lower channel during strong downtrends, reflects persistent bearish pressure
Basis Line Position: RSI position relative to the middle channel helps identify the prevailing momentum bias
Channel Compression Patterns:
Squeeze Detection: Channel width narrowing to 100-period lows indicates momentum consolidation, often precedes significant directional moves
Expansion Phase: Channel widening after a squeeze confirms the initiation of a new momentum regime
Persistent Narrow Channels: Extended periods of tight channels suggest market indecision and accumulation/distribution phases
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Trend Continuation Strategy:
This approach focuses on identifying and trading momentum breakouts that confirm established trends:
Identify the prevailing price trend using higher timeframe analysis or trend-following indicators
Wait for RSI to break above the upper channel in uptrends (or below the lower channel in downtrends)
Enter positions in the direction of the breakout when price action confirms the momentum shift
Place protective stops below the recent swing low (long positions) or above swing high (short positions)
Target profit levels based on prior swing extremes or use trailing stops to capture extended moves
Exit when RSI crosses back through the basis line in the opposite direction
Mean Reversion Strategy:
This method capitalizes on momentum extremes and subsequent corrections toward equilibrium:
Monitor for RSI reaching the upper or lower channel boundaries
Look for rejection signals (price reversal patterns, volume divergence) when RSI touches the channels
Enter counter-trend positions when RSI begins moving back toward the basis line
Use the basis line as the initial profit target for mean reversion trades
Implement tight stops beyond the channel extremes to limit risk on failed reversals
Scale out of positions as RSI approaches the basis line and closes the position when RSI crosses the basis
Breakout Preparation Strategy:
This approach positions traders ahead of potential volatility expansion from consolidation phases:
Identify squeeze conditions when channel width reaches 100-period lows
Monitor price action for consolidation patterns (triangles, rectangles, flags) during the squeeze
Prepare conditional orders for breakouts in both directions from the consolidation
Enter positions when RSI breaks out of the narrow channel with expanding width
Use the channel width expansion as a confirmation signal for the breakout's validity
Manage risk with stops just inside the opposite channel boundary
Multi-Timeframe Confluence Strategy:
Combining RSI Donchian Channel analysis across multiple timeframes can improve signal reliability:
Identify the primary trend direction using a higher timeframe RSI Donchian Channel (e.g., daily or weekly)
Use a lower timeframe (e.g., 4-hour or hourly) to time precise entry points
Enter long positions when both timeframes show RSI above their respective basis lines
Enter short positions when both timeframes show RSI below their respective basis lines
Avoid trades when timeframes provide conflicting signals (e.g., higher timeframe below basis, lower timeframe above)
Exit when the higher timeframe RSI crosses its basis line in the opposite direction
Risk Management Guidelines:
Effective risk management is essential for all RSI Donchian Channel strategies:
Position Sizing: Calculate position sizes based on the distance between entry point and stop loss, limiting risk to 1-2% of capital per trade
Stop Loss Placement: For breakout trades, place stops just inside the opposite channel boundary; for mean reversion trades, use stops beyond the channel extremes
Profit Targets: Use the basis line as a minimum target for mean reversion trades; for trend trades, target prior swing extremes or use trailing stops
Channel Width Context: Increase position sizes during narrow channels (lower volatility) and reduce sizes during wide channels (higher volatility)
Correlation Awareness: Monitor correlations between traded instruments to avoid over-concentration in similar setups
📋 DETAILED PARAMETER CONFIGURATION
RSI Source:
Defines the price data series used for RSI calculation:
Close (Default): Standard choice providing end-of-period momentum assessment, suitable for most trading styles and timeframes
High-Low Average (HL2): Reduces the impact of closing auction dynamics, useful for markets with significant end-of-day volatility
High-Low-Close Average (HLC3): Provides a more balanced view incorporating the entire period's range
Open-High-Low-Close Average (OHLC4): Offers the most comprehensive price representation, helpful for identifying overall period sentiment
Strategy Consideration: Use Close for end-of-period signals, HL2 or HLC3 for intraday volatility reduction, OHLC4 for capturing full period dynamics
RSI Length:
Controls the number of periods used for RSI calculation:
Short Periods (5-9): Highly responsive to recent price changes, produces more frequent signals with increased false signal risk, suitable for short-term trading and volatile markets
Standard Period (14): Widely accepted default balancing responsiveness with stability, appropriate for swing trading and intermediate-term analysis
Long Periods (21-28): Produces smoother RSI with fewer signals but more reliable trend identification, better for position trading and reducing noise in choppy markets
Optimization Approach: Test different lengths against historical data for your specific market and timeframe, consider using longer periods in ranging markets and shorter periods in trending markets
RSI MA Type:
Determines the smoothing method applied to price changes in RSI calculation:
RMA (Relative Moving Average - Default): Wilder's original smoothing method providing stable momentum measurement with gradual response to changes, maintains consistency with classical RSI interpretation
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Treats all periods equally, responds more quickly to changes than RMA but may produce more whipsaws in volatile conditions
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Weights recent periods more heavily, increases responsiveness at the cost of potential noise, suitable for traders prioritizing early signal generation
WMA (Weighted Moving Average): Applies linear weighting favoring recent data, offers a middle ground between SMA and EMA responsiveness
Selection Guidance: Maintain RMA for consistency with traditional RSI analysis, use EMA or WMA for more responsive signals in fast-moving markets, apply SMA for maximum simplicity and transparency
DC Length:
Specifies the lookback period for Donchian Channel calculation on RSI values:
Short Periods (10-14): Creates tight channels that adapt quickly to changing momentum conditions, generates more frequent trading signals but increases sensitivity to short-term RSI fluctuations
Standard Period (20): Balances channel responsiveness with stability, aligns with traditional Bollinger Bands and moving average periods, suitable for most trading styles
Long Periods (30-50): Produces wider, more stable channels that better represent sustained momentum extremes, reduces signal frequency while improving reliability, appropriate for position traders and higher timeframes
Calibration Strategy: Match DC length to your trading timeframe (shorter for day trading, longer for swing trading), test channel width behavior during different market regimes, consider using adaptive periods that adjust to volatility conditions
Market Adaptation: Use shorter DC lengths in trending markets to capture momentum shifts earlier, apply longer periods in ranging markets to filter noise and focus on significant extremes
Parameter Combination Recommendations:
Scalping/Day Trading: RSI Length 5-9, DC Length 10-14, EMA or WMA smoothing for maximum responsiveness
Swing Trading: RSI Length 14, DC Length 20, RMA smoothing for balanced analysis (default configuration)
Position Trading: RSI Length 21-28, DC Length 30-50, RMA or SMA smoothing for stable signals
High Volatility Markets: Longer RSI periods (21+) with standard DC length (20) to reduce noise
Low Volatility Markets: Standard RSI length (14) with shorter DC length (10-14) to capture subtle momentum shifts
📈 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Adaptive Threshold Mechanism:
Unlike traditional RSI analysis with fixed 30/70 thresholds, this indicator's Donchian Channel approach provides several improvements:
Context-Aware Extremes: Overbought/oversold levels adjust automatically based on recent momentum behavior rather than arbitrary fixed values
Volatility Adaptation: In low volatility periods, channels narrow to reflect tighter momentum ranges; in high volatility, channels widen appropriately
Market Regime Recognition: The indicator implicitly adapts to different market conditions without manual threshold adjustments
False Signal Reduction: Adaptive channels help reduce premature reversal signals that often occur with fixed thresholds during strong trends
Signal Quality Characteristics:
The indicator's dual-purpose design provides distinct advantages for different trading objectives:
Breakout Trading: Channel boundaries offer clear, objective breakout levels that update dynamically, eliminating the ambiguity of when momentum becomes "too high" or "too low"
Mean Reversion: The basis line provides a natural profit target for reversion trades, representing the midpoint of recent momentum extremes
Trend Strength: Persistent channel boundary riding offers an objective measure of trend strength without additional indicators
Consolidation Detection: Channel width analysis provides early warning of potential volatility expansion from compression phases
Comparative Analysis:
When compared to traditional RSI implementations and other momentum frameworks:
vs. Fixed Threshold RSI: Provides market-adaptive reference levels rather than static values, helping to reduce false signals during trending markets where RSI can remain "overbought" or "oversold" for extended periods
vs. RSI Bollinger Bands: Offers clearer breakout signals and more intuitive extreme identification through actual high/low boundaries rather than statistical standard deviations
vs. Stochastic Oscillator: Maintains RSI's momentum measurement advantages (unbounded calculation avoiding scale compression) while adding the breakout detection capabilities of Donchian Channels
vs. Standard Donchian Channels: Applies breakout methodology to momentum space rather than price, providing earlier signals of potential trend changes before price breakouts occur
Performance Characteristics:
The indicator exhibits specific behavioral patterns across different market conditions:
Trending Markets: Excels at identifying momentum continuation through channel breakouts, RSI tends to ride one channel boundary during strong trends, providing trend confirmation
Ranging Markets: Channel width narrows during consolidation, offering early preparation signals for potential breakout trading opportunities
High Volatility: Channels widen to reflect increased momentum variability, automatically adjusting signal sensitivity to match market conditions
Low Volatility: Channels contract, making the indicator more sensitive to subtle momentum shifts that may be significant in calm market environments
Transition Periods: Channel squeezes often precede major trend changes, offering advance warning of potential regime shifts
Limitations and Considerations:
Users should be aware of certain operational characteristics:
Lookback Dependency: Channel boundaries depend entirely on the lookback period, meaning the indicator has no predictive element beyond identifying current momentum relative to recent history
Lag Characteristics: As with all moving average-based indicators, RSI calculation introduces lag, and channel boundaries update only as new extremes occur within the lookback window
Range-Bound Sensitivity: In extremely tight ranges, channels may become very narrow, potentially generating excessive signals from minor momentum fluctuations
Trending Persistence: During very strong trends, RSI may remain at channel extremes for extended periods, requiring patience for mean reversion setups or commitment to trend-following approaches
No Absolute Levels: Unlike traditional RSI, this indicator provides no fixed reference points (like 50), making it less suitable for strategies that depend on absolute momentum readings
USAGE NOTES
This indicator is designed for technical analysis and educational purposes to help traders understand momentum dynamics and identify potential trading opportunities. The RSI Donchian Channel has limitations and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions.
Important considerations:
Performance varies significantly across different market conditions, timeframes, and instruments
Historical signal patterns do not guarantee future results, as market behavior continuously evolves
Effective use requires understanding of both RSI momentum principles and Donchian Channel breakout concepts
Risk management practices (stop losses, position sizing, diversification) are essential for any trading application
Consider combining with additional analytical tools such as volume analysis, price action patterns, or trend indicators for confirmation
Backtest thoroughly on your specific instruments and timeframes before live trading implementation
Be aware that optimization on historical data may lead to curve-fitting and poor forward performance
The indicator performs best when used as part of a comprehensive trading methodology that incorporates multiple forms of market analysis, sound risk management, and realistic expectations about win rates and drawdowns.
Keltner Channel Enhanced [DCAUT]█ Keltner Channel Enhanced
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The Keltner Channel Enhanced represents an important advancement over standard Keltner Channel implementations by introducing dual flexibility in moving average selection for both the middle band and ATR calculation. While traditional Keltner Channels typically use EMA for the middle band and RMA (Wilder's smoothing) for ATR, this enhanced version provides access to 25+ moving average algorithms for both components, enabling traders to fine-tune the indicator's behavior to match specific market characteristics and trading approaches.
Key Advancements:
Dual MA Algorithm Flexibility: Independent selection of moving average types for middle band (25+ options) and ATR smoothing (25+ options), allowing optimization of both trend identification and volatility measurement separately
Enhanced Trend Sensitivity: Ability to use faster algorithms (HMA, T3) for middle band while maintaining stable volatility measurement with traditional ATR smoothing, or vice versa for different trading strategies
Adaptive Volatility Measurement: Choice of ATR smoothing algorithm affects channel responsiveness to volatility changes, from highly reactive (SMA, EMA) to smoothly adaptive (RMA, TEMA)
Comprehensive Alert System: Five distinct alert conditions covering breakouts, trend changes, and volatility expansion, enabling automated monitoring without constant chart observation
Multi-Timeframe Compatibility: Works effectively across all timeframes from intraday scalping to long-term position trading, with independent optimization of trend and volatility components
This implementation addresses key limitations of standard Keltner Channels: fixed EMA/RMA combination may not suit all market conditions or trading styles. By decoupling the trend component from volatility measurement and allowing independent algorithm selection, traders can create highly customized configurations for specific instruments and market phases.
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Keltner Channel Enhanced uses a three-component calculation system that combines a flexible moving average middle band with ATR-based (Average True Range) upper and lower channels, creating volatility-adjusted trend-following bands.
Core Calculation Process:
1. Middle Band (Basis) Calculation:
The basis line is calculated using the selected moving average algorithm applied to the price source over the specified period:
basis = ma(source, length, maType)
Supported algorithms include EMA (standard choice, trend-biased), SMA (balanced and symmetric), HMA (reduced lag), WMA, VWMA, TEMA, T3, KAMA, and 17+ others.
2. Average True Range (ATR) Calculation:
ATR measures market volatility by calculating the average of true ranges over the specified period:
trueRange = max(high - low, abs(high - close ), abs(low - close ))
atrValue = ma(trueRange, atrLength, atrMaType)
ATR smoothing algorithm significantly affects channel behavior, with options including RMA (standard, very smooth), SMA (moderate smoothness), EMA (fast adaptation), TEMA (smooth yet responsive), and others.
3. Channel Calculation:
Upper and lower channels are positioned at specified multiples of ATR from the basis:
upperChannel = basis + (multiplier × atrValue)
lowerChannel = basis - (multiplier × atrValue)
Standard multiplier is 2.0, providing channels that dynamically adjust width based on market volatility.
Keltner Channel vs. Bollinger Bands - Key Differences:
While both indicators create volatility-based channels, they use fundamentally different volatility measures:
Keltner Channel (ATR-based):
Uses Average True Range to measure actual price movement volatility
Incorporates gaps and limit moves through true range calculation
More stable in trending markets, less prone to extreme compression
Better reflects intraday volatility and trading range
Typically fewer band touches, making touches more significant
More suitable for trend-following strategies
Bollinger Bands (Standard Deviation-based):
Uses statistical standard deviation to measure price dispersion
Based on closing prices only, doesn't account for intraday range
Can compress significantly during consolidation (squeeze patterns)
More touches in ranging markets
Better suited for mean-reversion strategies
Provides statistical probability framework (95% within 2 standard deviations)
Algorithm Combination Effects:
The interaction between middle band MA type and ATR MA type creates different indicator characteristics:
Trend-Focused Configuration (Fast MA + Slow ATR): Middle band uses HMA/EMA/T3, ATR uses RMA/TEMA, quick trend changes with stable channel width, suitable for trend-following
Volatility-Focused Configuration (Slow MA + Fast ATR): Middle band uses SMA/WMA, ATR uses EMA/SMA, stable trend with dynamic channel width, suitable for volatility trading
Balanced Configuration (Standard EMA/RMA): Classic Keltner Channel behavior, time-tested combination, suitable for general-purpose trend following
Adaptive Configuration (KAMA + KAMA): Self-adjusting indicator responding to efficiency ratio, suitable for markets with varying trend strength and volatility regimes
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Keltner Channel Enhanced provides multiple signal categories optimized for trend-following and breakout strategies.
Channel Position Signals:
Upper Channel Interaction:
Price Touching Upper Channel: Strong bullish momentum, price moving more than typical volatility range suggests, potential continuation signal in established uptrends
Price Breaking Above Upper Channel: Exceptional strength, price exceeding normal volatility expectations, consider adding to long positions or tightening trailing stops
Price Riding Upper Channel: Sustained strong uptrend, characteristic of powerful bull moves, stay with trend and avoid premature profit-taking
Price Rejection at Upper Channel: Momentum exhaustion signal, consider profit-taking on longs or waiting for pullback to middle band for reentry
Lower Channel Interaction:
Price Touching Lower Channel: Strong bearish momentum, price moving more than typical volatility range suggests, potential continuation signal in established downtrends
Price Breaking Below Lower Channel: Exceptional weakness, price exceeding normal volatility expectations, consider adding to short positions or protecting against further downside
Price Riding Lower Channel: Sustained strong downtrend, characteristic of powerful bear moves, stay with trend and avoid premature covering
Price Rejection at Lower Channel: Momentum exhaustion signal, consider covering shorts or waiting for bounce to middle band for reentry
Middle Band (Basis) Signals:
Trend Direction Confirmation:
Price Above Basis: Bullish trend bias, middle band acts as dynamic support in uptrends, consider long positions or holding existing longs
Price Below Basis: Bearish trend bias, middle band acts as dynamic resistance in downtrends, consider short positions or avoiding longs
Price Crossing Above Basis: Potential trend change from bearish to bullish, early signal to establish long positions
Price Crossing Below Basis: Potential trend change from bullish to bearish, early signal to establish short positions or exit longs
Pullback Trading Strategy:
Uptrend Pullback: Price pulls back from upper channel to middle band, finds support, and resumes upward, ideal long entry point
Downtrend Bounce: Price bounces from lower channel to middle band, meets resistance, and resumes downward, ideal short entry point
Basis Test: Strong trends often show price respecting the middle band as support/resistance on pullbacks
Failed Test: Price breaking through middle band against trend direction signals potential reversal
Volatility-Based Signals:
Narrow Channels (Low Volatility):
Consolidation Phase: Channels contract during periods of reduced volatility and directionless price action
Breakout Preparation: Narrow channels often precede significant directional moves as volatility cycles
Trading Approach: Reduce position sizes, wait for breakout confirmation, avoid range-bound strategies within channels
Breakout Direction: Monitor for price breaking decisively outside channel range with expanding width
Wide Channels (High Volatility):
Trending Phase: Channels expand during strong directional moves and increased volatility
Momentum Confirmation: Wide channels confirm genuine trend with substantial volatility backing
Trading Approach: Trend-following strategies excel, wider stops necessary, mean-reversion strategies risky
Exhaustion Signs: Extreme channel width (historical highs) may signal approaching consolidation or reversal
Advanced Pattern Recognition:
Channel Walking Pattern:
Upper Channel Walk: Price consistently touches or exceeds upper channel while staying above basis, very strong uptrend signal, hold longs aggressively
Lower Channel Walk: Price consistently touches or exceeds lower channel while staying below basis, very strong downtrend signal, hold shorts aggressively
Basis Support/Resistance: During channel walks, price typically uses middle band as support/resistance on minor pullbacks
Pattern Break: Price crossing basis during channel walk signals potential trend exhaustion
Squeeze and Release Pattern:
Squeeze Phase: Channels narrow significantly, price consolidates near middle band, volatility contracts
Direction Clues: Watch for price positioning relative to basis during squeeze (above = bullish bias, below = bearish bias)
Release Trigger: Price breaking outside narrow channel range with expanding width confirms breakout
Follow-Through: Measure squeeze height and project from breakout point for initial profit targets
Channel Expansion Pattern:
Breakout Confirmation: Rapid channel widening confirms volatility increase and genuine trend establishment
Entry Timing: Enter positions early in expansion phase before trend becomes overextended
Risk Management: Use channel width to size stops appropriately, wider channels require wider stops
Basis Bounce Pattern:
Clean Bounce: Price touches middle band and immediately reverses, confirms trend strength and entry opportunity
Multiple Bounces: Repeated basis bounces indicate strong, sustainable trend
Bounce Failure: Price penetrating basis signals weakening trend and potential reversal
Divergence Analysis:
Price/Channel Divergence: Price makes new high/low while staying within channel (not reaching outer band), suggests momentum weakening
Width/Price Divergence: Price breaks to new extremes but channel width contracts, suggests move lacks conviction
Reversal Signal: Divergences often precede trend reversals or significant consolidation periods
Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
Keltner Channels work particularly well in multi-timeframe trend-following approaches:
Three-Timeframe Alignment:
Higher Timeframe (Weekly/Daily): Identify major trend direction, note price position relative to basis and channels
Intermediate Timeframe (Daily/4H): Identify pullback opportunities within higher timeframe trend
Lower Timeframe (4H/1H): Time precise entries when price touches middle band or lower channel (in uptrends) with rejection
Optimal Entry Conditions:
Best Long Entries: Higher timeframe in uptrend (price above basis), intermediate timeframe pulls back to basis, lower timeframe shows rejection at middle band or lower channel
Best Short Entries: Higher timeframe in downtrend (price below basis), intermediate timeframe bounces to basis, lower timeframe shows rejection at middle band or upper channel
Risk Management: Use higher timeframe channel width to set position sizing, stops below/above higher timeframe channels
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Keltner Channel Enhanced excels in trend-following and breakout strategies across different market conditions.
Trend Following Strategy:
Setup Requirements:
Identify established trend with price consistently on one side of basis line
Wait for pullback to middle band (basis) or brief penetration through it
Confirm trend resumption with price rejection at basis and move back toward outer channel
Enter in trend direction with stop beyond basis line
Entry Rules:
Uptrend Entry:
Price pulls back from upper channel to middle band, shows support at basis (bullish candlestick, momentum divergence)
Enter long on rejection/bounce from basis with stop 1-2 ATR below basis
Aggressive: Enter on first touch; Conservative: Wait for confirmation candle
Downtrend Entry:
Price bounces from lower channel to middle band, shows resistance at basis (bearish candlestick, momentum divergence)
Enter short on rejection/reversal from basis with stop 1-2 ATR above basis
Aggressive: Enter on first touch; Conservative: Wait for confirmation candle
Trend Management:
Trailing Stop: Use basis line as dynamic trailing stop, exit if price closes beyond basis against position
Profit Taking: Take partial profits at opposite channel, move stops to basis
Position Additions: Add to winners on subsequent basis bounces if trend intact
Breakout Strategy:
Setup Requirements:
Identify consolidation period with contracting channel width
Monitor price action near middle band with reduced volatility
Wait for decisive breakout beyond channel range with expanding width
Enter in breakout direction after confirmation
Breakout Confirmation:
Price breaks clearly outside channel (upper for longs, lower for shorts), channel width begins expanding from contracted state
Volume increases significantly on breakout (if using volume analysis)
Price sustains outside channel for multiple bars without immediate reversal
Entry Approaches:
Aggressive: Enter on initial break with stop at opposite channel or basis, use smaller position size
Conservative: Wait for pullback to broken channel level, enter on rejection and resumption, tighter stop
Volatility-Based Position Sizing:
Adjust position sizing based on channel width (ATR-based volatility):
Wide Channels (High ATR): Reduce position size as stops must be wider, calculate position size using ATR-based risk calculation: Risk / (Stop Distance in ATR × ATR Value)
Narrow Channels (Low ATR): Increase position size as stops can be tighter, be cautious of impending volatility expansion
ATR-Based Risk Management: Use ATR-based risk calculations, position size = 0.01 × Capital / (2 × ATR), use multiples of ATR (1-2 ATR) for adaptive stops
Algorithm Selection Guidelines:
Different market conditions benefit from different algorithm combinations:
Strong Trending Markets: Middle band use EMA or HMA, ATR use RMA, capture trends quickly while maintaining stable channel width
Choppy/Ranging Markets: Middle band use SMA or WMA, ATR use SMA or WMA, avoid false trend signals while identifying genuine reversals
Volatile Markets: Middle band and ATR both use KAMA or FRAMA, self-adjusting to changing market conditions reduces manual optimization
Breakout Trading: Middle band use SMA, ATR use EMA or SMA, stable trend with dynamic channels highlights volatility expansion early
Scalping/Day Trading: Middle band use HMA or T3, ATR use EMA or TEMA, both components respond quickly
Position Trading: Middle band use EMA/TEMA/T3, ATR use RMA or TEMA, filter out noise for long-term trend-following
📋 DETAILED PARAMETER CONFIGURATION
Understanding and optimizing parameters is essential for adapting Keltner Channel Enhanced to specific trading approaches.

Ichimoku Screener [Pineify]Advanced Multi-Timeframe Ichimoku Screener - Complete Market Analysis Tool
This sophisticated Ichimoku Screener represents a comprehensive approach to multi-timeframe market analysis, combining four distinct Ichimoku-based indicators into a unified screening system. Unlike traditional single-symbol indicators, this screener provides simultaneous analysis across multiple assets and timeframes, enabling traders to identify optimal trading opportunities with enhanced precision and efficiency.
Key Features
Multi-asset screening capability for up to 10 symbols simultaneously
Four customizable timeframes per symbol for comprehensive analysis
Four integrated Ichimoku-based indicators working in harmony
Real-time visual feedback with color-coded signals
Customizable Ichimoku parameters for personalized analysis
Clean, organized table display for easy interpretation
Automated signal strength assessment and timing
How It Works
The screener employs the traditional Ichimoku Kinko Hyo methodology, utilizing five core components: Conversion Line (Tenkan-sen), Base Line (Kijun-sen), Leading Span A (Senkou Span A), Leading Span B (Senkou Span B), and displacement calculations. Each component is mathematically calculated using specific period lengths:
Conversion Line = (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2 over conversion period
Base Line = (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2 over base period
Leading Span A = (Conversion Line + Base Line) / 2
Leading Span B = (Highest High + Lowest Low) / 2 over lagging span period
The screener processes these calculations across multiple securities simultaneously using TradingView's security() function, enabling real-time cross-asset analysis. The system tracks state changes using barssince() functions to provide precise timing information for each signal type.
Trading Ideas and Insights
This screener excels in identifying momentum convergence patterns where multiple Ichimoku components align across different timeframes. The most powerful signals occur when:
Cloud color aligns with price position relative to the cloud
Conversion Line crosses above/below Base Line in the same direction as cloud bias
Multiple timeframes show consistent directional bias
Entry signals appear with minimal bars since formation (indicating fresh momentum)
For trend following strategies , focus on symbols where the cloud maintains consistent color across higher timeframes while showing recent entry signals on lower timeframes. For reversal opportunities , identify assets where cloud color changes coincide with price re-entering the cloud after extended periods above or below.
The screener particularly excels in cryptocurrency and forex markets where momentum shifts can be dramatic and sustained. By monitoring multiple timeframes simultaneously, traders can identify when short-term signals align with longer-term trends, significantly improving trade success probability.
How Multiple Indicators Work Together
The four integrated indicators create a comprehensive analytical framework through synergistic interaction:
Ichimoku Cloud (IchiCld) establishes the primary trend bias by comparing Leading Span A with Leading Span B. When Span A > Span B, the cloud displays bullish characteristics; when Span A < Span B, bearish characteristics emerge. The indicator tracks duration since the last cloud color change, providing momentum persistence insight.
Ichimoku Lagging Cloud (IchiLagCld) determines price position relative to the displaced cloud formation. This indicator identifies whether current price action occurs above, below, or within the cloud structure, revealing support/resistance dynamics and trend confirmation signals.
Conversion vs Base (IchiC>Base) monitors the relationship between short-term (Conversion Line) and medium-term (Base Line) momentum. Crossovers in this relationship often precede significant price movements and provide early trend change warnings.
Ichimoku Entry (IchiEnt) synthesizes all components into actionable signals by requiring alignment between cloud bias, price position, and conversion/base relationship. This multi-factor confirmation approach significantly reduces false signals while maintaining sensitivity to genuine momentum shifts.
The mathematical foundation ensures that each indicator contributes unique information while maintaining logical consistency. The system's strength lies in requiring multiple confirmations before generating entry signals, following Ichimoku's original philosophy of comprehensive market analysis.

Conversion Line Length (default: 9) - Controls short-term momentum sensitivity
Base Line Length (default: 26) - Determines medium-term trend identification
Leading Span B Length (default: 52) - Sets long-term trend calculation period
Displacement (default: 26) - Controls forward projection of cloud structure
Signal Interpretation :
Green backgrounds indicate bullish conditions
Red backgrounds indicate bearish conditions
Numerical values show bars since last state change
"L:" prefix indicates long entry signals
"S:" prefix indicates short entry signals
"N/A" indicates neutral/transitional states
Trading Workflow : Scan for symbols showing consistent signals across multiple timeframes, prioritize fresh signals (low bar counts), and use individual charts for precise entry timing and risk management.
Customization
The screener accommodates various trading approaches through parameter adjustment:
Scalping Configuration : Use shorter periods (Conversion: 5, Base: 13, Span B: 26) with 1m/3m/5m/15m timeframes for high-frequency opportunities.
Swing Trading Setup : Employ standard parameters with 4h/1D/3D/1W timeframes for position trading across days or weeks.
Cryptocurrency Optimization : Given crypto's 24/7 nature, consider using 4h/8h/1D/3D combinations for optimal signal timing.
Symbol selection can focus on correlated assets (e.g., major cryptocurrencies) for sector analysis or diverse assets for portfolio opportunity identification. The flexible timeframe configuration allows adaptation to any market's characteristic volatility and trading patterns.

Volume Intensity MeterVolume Intensity Meter
Overview
The Volume Intensity Meter is a Pine Script v6 indicator for TradingView that measures market momentum and direction using a volume-weighted intensity metric. It renders a normalized percentage score in a compact table with a gradient meter and directional arrows indicating bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions. A hybrid formula balances direction and volatility, and users can tune sensitivity and display settings.
How It Works
The indicator builds a hybrid intensity score from:
• Volatility component: (high − low) × volume (30% weight)
• Directional component: (close − open) × volume (70% weight)
The raw score is smoothed with an EMA (default 5) and normalized by a baseline SMA (default 20) to produce a percentage metric, clamped between −150% and +150%. A gradient row (red → yellow → green) provides context, and a pointer highlights the current intensity. Directional arrows (▲ bullish, ▼ bearish, ⎯ neutral) switch based on a user sensitivity threshold of 1% by default (0.01 in normalized units).
Key Features
• Hybrid Intensity Calculation: Blends directional and volatility signals with volume weighting.
• Gradient Meter Display: Color-coded table with a live pointer and center readout.
• Customizable Parameters: Lookback, smoothing, number of segments, and flip sensitivity.
• Momentum Pointer : Marks current intensity from bearish to bullish.
• Normalized Scale: Clamped output (±150%) for consistent reading across symbols.
• Toggleable Display: Show/hide the meter for a clean chart.
What It Displays
A normalized momentum readout with directional context, shown as a gradient meter plus arrows. This helps quickly assess shifts in pressure for scalping, day trading, or swing trading across stocks, forex, futures, or crypto.
Originality
The Pine v6 implementation uses TradingView’s built-in ta.ema and ta.sma for smoothing and baseline calculations.
Common Uses
• Monitoring short-term momentum changes.
• Visualizing intensity around key sessions.
• Adding a quick-glance pressure gauge to existing setups.
Configuration Notes
Set the lookback period (default 20), smoothing (default 5), and segments (default 21). The flip sensitivity is specified in normalized units (default 0.01 = 1%). Use the gradient meter and arrows to gauge momentum strength and direction.

Bid/Ask Volume Oscillator (Estimated)Bid/Ask Volume Oscillator (Estimated)
Overview
The Bid/Ask Volume Oscillator (Estimated) is a Pine Script v6 indicator for TradingView, designed to analyze market pressure through a normalized bid/ask volume oscillator. Displayed as a smoothed oscillator with optional split volume columns, it highlights buying and selling pressure with customizable zones and gradient intensity. Custom normalized scoring ensures consistent cross-asset use. Divergence detection and a heads-up display (HUD) table provide additional insights, making it commonly used for reviewing volume-driven momentum markers/labels.
How It Works
The indicator splits each bar’s volume into bid and ask components based on the candle’s body share (math.max, syminfo.mintick), with a 50/50 split for doji candles—to balance neutral bars in pressure calcs. Rolling sums of bid and ask volumes are calculated over a user-defined lookback (default: 5 bars) using ta.cum. The pressure oscillator is computed as the smoothed difference (ask minus bid) divided by their sum (ta.ema, default: 5 periods), normalized between -1 and +1. Gradient intensity adjusts opacity based on volume relative to a 20-period SMA and previous bar. Divergences are detected by comparing price pivots (ta.pivothigh, ta.pivotlow) with oscillator pivots. The HUD table shows pressure direction and ask share percentage.
Key Features
• Pressure Oscillator: Displays normalized ask-minus-bid pressure with customizable smoothing.
• Split Volume Columns: Optionally plots bid/ask volumes with mirroring below zero.
• Gradient Intensity: Adjusts opacity based on volume strength for enhanced visuals.
• Divergence Detection: Identifies bullish and bearish divergences between price and oscillator pivots.
• Zone Thresholds: Highlights mild (±0.2) and strong (±0.4) pressure zones with background coloring.
• HUD Table: Summarizes pressure direction and ask share percentage.
• Customizable Settings: Adjust lookback, smoothing, thresholds, and colors for tailored analysis.
What It Displays
This indicator offers a unique approach to volume analysis by combining a normalized pressure oscillator with split volume visualization and divergence detection, delivering balanced insights across symbols via uniform -1/+1 scale. Its customizable zones and HUD table make it adaptable for day trading, scalping, or swing trading in stocks, forex, futures, or crypto.

Displayed as an oscillator, it plots split bid/ask volume columns, rolling sum lines, and a pressure histogram (ask minus bid) to highlight buying and selling pressure. Custom divergence logic spots hidden momentum shifts. The indicator features gradient intensity coloring, divergence detection for bullish/bearish markers/labels, and a status table summarizing key metrics, making it commonly used for reviewing volume-driven insights.
How It Works
The indicator splits each bar’s volume into bid and ask components using the candle’s body share (default) or full allocation for bullish/bearish candles, calculated with math.max and syminfo.mintick—to approximate order flow from OHLC data. Rolling sums of ask and bid volumes are computed over a user-defined lookback (default: 5 bars) using ta.cum for efficiency. A pressure histogram is derived by smoothing the ask-minus-bid difference with an EMA (default: 3 periods). Gradient intensity adjusts opacity based on volume relative to a 20-period SMA and previous bar. Divergences are detected by comparing price pivot highs/lows (ta.pivothigh, ta.pivotlow) with ask/bid sum pivots, marked with lines and labels. A status table displays ask/bid sums, intensity, trend, and pressure.
Key Features
• Split Bid/Ask Volumes: Apportions volume into bid (red) and ask (green) with optional mirroring below zero.
• Rolling Sum Lines: Plots cumulative ask and bid sums with optional fill between lines.
• Pressure Histogram: Shows smoothed ask-minus-bid pressure to illustrate market direction.
• Divergence Detection: Identifies bullish (price lower lows, ask sum higher lows) and bearish (price higher highs, bid sum lower highs) divergences.

Overview
The Hypothetical (Swing Explorer) is a Pine Script v6 indicator for TradingView, designed to analyze market structure and illustrate price movements. It combines ZigZag-based pivot detection, liquidity sweeps, order blocks, trendlines, trail lines, and hypothetical illustrative swing marks, with optional custom-colored candles. We use integrated hypotheticals support forward estimations. A status table summarizes trend direction, trail status, and hypothetical illustrative marks, making it a versatile tool for traders reviewing commonly monitored setups.
How It Works
The indicator identifies market structure using a ZigZag algorithm (ta.highest, ta.lowest, default length: 9 bars) to plot swing highs/lows, verified by pivot detection (ta.pivothigh, ta.pivotlow)—ensuring non-repainting verification. Trend direction is determined by comparing fast (default: 8-period) and slow (default: 21-period) EMAs. Liquidity sweeps are detected at pivot highs/lows, and order blocks are drawn using ATR-based sizing. Trendlines connect pivot points, and trail lines track price or EMA trends with optional gradient coloring. Hypotheticals (next swing, illustrative swing, reversal, echo swing) are calculated using historical swing ranges, momentum, and ATR, with estimated arrival times based on velocity patterns. Custom candles reflect ZigZag leg direction, with illustrative or verified coloring options.
Key Features
• ZigZag Market Structure: Visualizes swing highs/lows with customizable lines.
• Liquidity Sweeps: Marks liquidity grabs at pivot points with dynamic lines.
• Order Blocks: Displays bullish/bearish order blocks with configurable limits.
• Trendlines: Draws bullish/bearish trendlines based on pivot connections.
• Hypothetical Swing Marks: Illustrates hypothetical (next swing, reversal, and echo swing levels) with time estimates.
• Trail and Zero-Lag Lines: Tracks price with customizable, gradient-colored lines synced to price or EMA trends.
• Custom Plot Candles: Overlays candles colored by ZigZag leg direction (illustrative or verified).
• Status Table: Summarizes trend, trail, and illustrative hypothetical mark states.
• Customizable Settings: Adjust lookback, colors, and visibility for all components.
What It Displays
This indicator integrates multiple price action tools—ZigZag structure, liquidity sweeps, order blocks, and hypothetical illustrative marks—into a cohesive system, offering a comprehensive view of market dynamics via velocity-based estimations derived from historical swing ranges and momentum. Its customizable visuals and illustrative features make it adaptable for day trading, scalping, or swing trading in stocks, forex, futures, or crypto, enhancing trade chart review.

VWAP Momentum Oscillator How It Works
Core Calculation Method
The oscillator combines four key market measurements into a single, normalized reading:
1. Price-VWAP Deviation: `(Close - VWAP) / VWAP × 100`
2. VWAP-MA Momentum: `(VWAP - MovingAverage) / MovingAverage × 100`
3. Anchored VWAP Strength: Average of high/low anchor deviations from rolling VWAP
4. Range Position: `(Close - PeriodLow) / (PeriodHigh - PeriodLow) × 100 - 50`
Dynamic Signal Line
The signal line uses an EMA that automatically adjusts its length based on your chart timeframe:
- Futures: Always covers 23 hours of trading (1,380 minutes)
- Stocks: Always covers 6.5 hours of trading (390 minutes)
- Examples: 276 periods on 5-min futures chart, 1,380 periods on 1-min futures chart

Version History & Development
This oscillator evolved from advanced VWAP overlay strategies, transforming complex multi-line analysis into a single, actionable momentum gauge. The indicator maintains the sophistication of institutional VWAP analysis while providing the clarity needed for retail trading decisions.
Core Philosophy
Traditional VWAP indicators show where price is relative to volume-weighted averages, but they don't quantify momentum or provide clear entry/exit signals. This oscillator solves that problem by normalizing all VWAP relationships into a single, bounded indicator that works consistently across all timeframes and asset classes.

Universal Valuation ~ GForge
🎯 Universal Valuation - GForge
Overview:
The Universal Valuation indicator is a sophisticated technical analysis tool that combines 14 different technical indicators into a single, normalized composite Z-score. This revolutionary approach provides traders and investors with a comprehensive view of an asset's relative valuation state, helping identify potential overvalued and undervalued conditions across any market, any timeframe .
🌟 Key Features:
Multi-Indicator Fusion: Combines RSI, CCI, Bollinger Bands, Price Analysis, Chande Momentum, Disparity Index, Hurst Exponent, IMI, TEMA, VWAP, Intraday Momentum, and advanced Risk Ratios (Sharpe, Sortino, Omega)
Universal Compatibility: Works seamlessly across stocks, forex, crypto, commodities, indices, and any tradeable asset
Multi-Timeframe Support: Optimized for all timeframes from 1-minute scalping to monthly long-term analysis
Professional Visualization: 9 stunning color themes with gradient effects and customizable styling
Comprehensive Dashboard: Real-time table displaying individual indicator scores and overall valuation phase
Smart Alert System: Built-in notifications for extreme valuation conditions
Z-Score Normalization: All indicators standardized for consistent comparison and interpretation
🔬 Technical Methodology:
The indicator employs advanced statistical normalization using Z-scores to transform disparate technical indicators into a unified measurement system. This revolutionary approach solves the fundamental problem of combining indicators with different scales and ranges.
1H MNT
Z-Score Normalization Process:
Raw Calculation: Each indicator is first calculated using its traditional formula (RSI 0-100, CCI unlimited range, etc.)
Statistical Analysis: For each indicator, the system calculates a rolling mean and standard deviation over a customizable lookback period
Z-Score Conversion: Current reading is converted using: Z = (Current Value - Rolling Mean) / Rolling Standard Deviation
Standardization: All Z-scores are clamped between -5 and +5 to prevent extreme outliers from dominating the composite
Democratic Weighting: Each normalized indicator contributes equally to the final composite score
Composite Calculation: Final score = Sum of all active Z-scores / Number of active indicators
Why Z-Scores Make It Universal:
Z-scores transform any indicator reading into "how many standard deviations away from normal this reading is." This means:
• An RSI of 85 on a volatile crypto might have the same Z-score as an RSI of 75 on a stable stock
• A CCI reading of +200 in a trending market might be less extreme than +100 in a ranging market
• Price movements are automatically adjusted for each asset's historical volatility
• Different timeframes are automatically normalized for their typical volatility patterns
This mathematical approach ensures the indicator adapts to any asset's unique characteristics and market conditions.
📊 Detailed Component Analysis:
Technical Indicators:
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
Calculates momentum by comparing recent gains to recent losses over a customizable period (default 21). Values above 70 traditionally indicate overbought conditions, while values below 30 suggest oversold conditions. The Universal Valuation converts these raw RSI values into Z-scores, providing a normalized view of how extreme current RSI readings are compared to historical patterns.
CCI (Commodity Channel Index):
Measures the current price level relative to an average price level over a given period (default 30). CCI compares the typical price (high+low+close)/3 to its simple moving average and divides by the mean absolute deviation. Values above +100 or below -100 indicate price extremes. Our Z-score normalization helps identify when CCI readings are statistically significant.
Bollinger Bands Position:
Calculates where the current price sits within the Bollinger Bands envelope. A value of +1 means price is at the upper band, -1 at the lower band, and 0 at the middle (SMA). This component measures price deviation from the mean in standard deviation units, making it naturally statistical. The Z-score normalization reveals when band position readings are historically extreme.
Price Z-Score:
Direct statistical measurement of how far the current price deviates from its historical mean in standard deviation units. This is the purest form of valuation measurement, showing whether an asset is trading at statistically significant levels relative to its historical price range.
Momentum Indicators:
Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO):
Unlike RSI, CMO uses the sum of gains and losses rather than averages, making it more sensitive to recent price changes. It calculates (sum of gains - sum of losses) / (sum of gains + sum of losses) × 100. Values range from -100 to +100. The Z-score normalization helps identify when momentum readings are unusually extreme.
Disparity Index:
Measures the percentage difference between current price and its simple moving average: (Price - SMA) / SMA × 100. This shows how far price has deviated from its average, with positive values indicating price above average and negative values below. Z-score normalization reveals when these deviations are statistically significant.
Intraday Momentum Index (IMI):
Similar to RSI but uses intraday price movements instead of closing prices. It compares gains and losses within each session (close vs open) rather than session-to-session changes. This captures intraday sentiment and momentum that closing-based indicators might miss. Particularly useful for detecting intraday reversal patterns.
Intraday Momentum:
Simple but effective measurement of daily price movement: (Close - Open) / Open × 100. This shows the percentage gain or loss within each trading session. When Z-score normalized, it reveals when intraday movements are historically extreme, often indicating climax buying or selling conditions.
Advanced Indicators:
TEMA (Triple Exponential Moving Average):
A sophisticated moving average that applies exponential smoothing three times to reduce lag while maintaining responsiveness. TEMA = 3×EMA₁ - 3×EMA₂ + EMA₃, where each EMA is applied to the previous result. The Z-score of TEMA helps identify when price has moved significantly away from this responsive trend line.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price):
Calculates the average price weighted by volume, giving more importance to prices where more volume occurred. VWAP = Σ(Price × Volume) / Σ(Volume). This represents the "fair value" based on actual trading activity. Z-score normalization shows when current VWAP is statistically extreme relative to historical VWAP levels.
Hurst Exponent:
Advanced mathematical concept measuring market efficiency and trend persistence. Values near 0.5 indicate random walk (efficient market), above 0.5 suggest trending behavior, and below 0.5 indicate mean-reverting markets. The indicator converts this to an oscillator: (Hurst - 0.5) × 100, then applies Z-score normalization to identify extreme efficiency/inefficiency periods.
Risk Ratios:
Sharpe Ratio:
Classic risk-adjusted return measure: (Return - Risk-free Rate) / Standard Deviation of Returns. Higher values indicate better risk-adjusted performance. The Z-score normalization reveals when current risk-adjusted returns are historically high or low, helping identify periods of exceptional or poor risk-adjusted performance.
Sortino Ratio:
Improvement over Sharpe ratio that only penalizes downside volatility: (Return - Risk-free Rate) / Downside Deviation. This gives a more accurate picture of risk-adjusted returns since upside volatility isn't necessarily bad. Z-score normalization helps identify when downside risk-adjusted returns reach extreme levels.
Omega Ratio:
Sophisticated risk measure that considers the probability-weighted ratio of gains versus losses above a threshold: Σ(Gains above threshold) / Σ(Losses below threshold). Values above 1.0 indicate positive expected returns above the threshold. Z-score normalization reveals when probability-weighted risk/reward ratios reach historically significant levels.
🎨 Valuation Phases:
The composite Z-score translates into clear valuation phases:
🔵 Extremely Undervalued: Z-Score ≤ -2.0 (Rare buying opportunities)
🟦 Strongly Undervalued: Z-Score ≤ -1.3 (Strong buying signals)
🟨 Moderately Undervalued: Z-Score ≤ -0.65 (Potential value plays)
⚪ Fairly Valued: Z-Score -0.65 to 0.5 (Neutral territory)
🟨 Slightly Overvalued: Z-Score 0.5 to 1.2 (Caution advised)
🟧 Moderately Overvalued: Z-Score 1.2 to 2.0 (Consider profit-taking)
🔴 Strongly Overvalued: Z-Score > 2.0 (High risk, potential sell signals)
