Channels With NVI Strategy [TradeDots]The "Channels With NVI Strategy" is a trading strategy that identifies oversold market instances during a bullish trading market. Specifically, the strategy integrates two principal indicators to deliver profitable opportunities, anticipating potential uptrends.
2 MAIN COMPONENTS
1. Channel Indicators: This strategy gives users the flexibility to choose between Bollinger Band Channels or Keltner Channels. This selection can be made straight from the settings, allowing the traders to adjust the tool according to their preferences and strategies.
2. Negative Volume Indicator (NVI): An indicator that calculates today's price rate of change, but only when today's trading volume is less than the previous day's. This functionality enables users to detect potential shifts in the trading volume with time and price.
ENTRY CONDITION
First, the assets price must drop below the lower band of the channel indicator.
Second, NVI must ascend above the exponential moving average line, signifying a possible flood of 'smart money' (large institutional investors or savvy traders), indicating an imminent price rally.
EXIT CONDITION
Exit conditions can be customized based on individual trading styles and risk tolerance levels. Traders can define their ideal take profit or stop loss percentages.
Moreover, the strategy also employs an NVI-based exit policy. Specifically, if the NVI dips under the exponential moving average – suggestive of a fading trading momentum, the strategy grants an exit call.
RISK DISCLAIMER
Trading entails substantial risk, and most day traders incur losses. All content, tools, scripts, articles, and education provided by TradeDots serve purely informational and educational purposes. Past performances are not definitive predictors of future results.

HYE Trend Hunter [Indicator]*** İndikatörün Türkçe ve İngilizce açıklaması aşağıya eklenmiştir.
HYE Trend Hunter
In this indicator, two of the most basic data (price and volume) necessary for detecting trends as early as possible and entering the trade on time are used. In this context, the approaches of some classical and new generation indicators using price and volume have been taken into account.
The indicator is prepared to generate buy signals only. The following steps were followed to generate the buy and exit signals.
1-) First of all, the two most basic data of the indicator, “slow leading line” and “fast leading line” need to be calculated. For this, we use the formula of the “senkou span A” line of the indicator known as the Ichimoku Cloud. We also need to calculate lines known as tenkan sen and kijun sen in ichimoku because they are used in the calculation of this formula.
The high and low values of the candles are taken into account when calculating the Tenkansen, Kijunsen and Senkou Span A lines in the Ichimoku cloud. In this indicator, the highest and lowest values of the periodic VWAP are taken into account when calculating the "slow leading line" and "fast leading line". (The periodic vwap formula was coded and made available by @neolao on tradingviev). Also, in the ichimoku cloud, while the Senkou Span A line is plotted 26 periods into the future, we consider the values of the fast and slow leading lines in the last candle in this indicator.
ORIGINAL ICHIMOKU SPAN A FORMULA
Tenkansen = (Highest high of the last 9 candles + Lowest low of the last 9 candles) / 2
Kijunsen = (Highest high of the last 26 candles + Lowest low of the last 26 candles) / 2
Senkou Span A = Tenkansen + Kijunsen / 2
HYE TREND HUNTER SPAN A FORMULA*
Tenkansen = (Highest VWAP of the last 9 candles + Lowest VWAP of the last 9 candles) / 2
Kijunsen = (Highest VWAP of the last 26 candles + Lowest VWAP of the last 26 candles) / 2
Senkou Span A = Tenkansen + Kijunsen / 2
* We use the original ichimoku values 9 and 26 for the slow line, and 5 and 13 for the fast line. These settings can be changed from the indicator settings.
2-) At this stage, we have 2 lines that we obtained by using the formula of the ichimoku cloud, one of the most classical trend indicators, and by including the volume-weighted average price.
a-) Fast Leading Line (5-13)
b-) Slow Leading Line (9-26)
For the calculation we will do soon, we get a new value by taking the average of these two lines. Using this value, which is the average of the fast and slow leading lines, we plot the Bollinger Bands indicator, which is known as one of the most classic volatility indicators of technical analysis. Thus, we are trying to understand whether there is a volatility change in the market, which may mean the presence of a trend start. We will use this data in the calculation of buy-sell signals.
In the classical Bollinger Bands calculation, the standard deviation is calculated by applying a multiplier at the rate determined by the user (2 is used in the original settings) to the moving average calculated with the “closing price”, and this value is added or subtracted from the moving average and upper band and lower band lines are drawn.
In the HYE Trend Hunter indicator, instead of the moving average calculated with the closing price in the Bollinger Band calculation, we consider the average of the fast and slow leading lines calculated in the 1st step and draw the Bollinger upper and lower bands accordingly. We use the values of 2 and 20 as the standard deviation and period, as in the original settings. These settings can also be changed from the indicator settings.
3-) At this stage, we have fast and slow leading lines trying to understand the trend direction using VWAP, and Bollinger lower and upper bands calculated by the average of these lines.
In this step, we will use another tool that will help us understand whether the invested market (forex, crypto, stocks) is gaining momentum in volume. The Time Segmented Volume indicator was created by the Worden Brothers Inc. and coded by @liw0 and @vitelot on tradingview. The TSV indicator segments the price and volume of an investment instrument according to certain time periods and makes calculations on comparing these price and volume data to reveal the buying and selling periods.
To trade in the buy direction on the HYE Trend Hunter indicator, we look for the TSV indicator to be above 0 and above its exponential moving average value. TSV period and exponential moving average period settings (13 and 7) can also be changed in the indicator settings.
BUY SIGNAL
1-) Fast Leading Line value should be higher than the Fast Leading Line value in the previous candle.
2-) Slow Leading Line value should be higher than the Slow Leading Line value in the previous candle.
3-) Candle Closing value must be higher than the Upper Bollinger Band.
4-) TSV value must be greater than 0.
5-) TSV value must be greater than TSVEMA value.
EXIT SIGNAL
1-) Fast Leading Line value should be lower than the Fast Leading Line value in the previous candle.
2-) Slow Leading Line value should be lower than the Slow Leading Line value in the previous candle.
TIPS AND WARNINGS
1-) The standard settings of the indicator work better in higher timeframes (4-hour, daily, etc.). For lower timeframes, you should change the indicator settings and find the best value for yourself.
2-) All lines (fast and slow leading lines and Bollinger bands) except TSV are displayed on the indicator. For a simpler view, you can hide these lines in the indicator settings.
3-) You can see the color changes of the fast and slow leading lines as well as you can specify a single color for these lines in the Indicator settings.
4-) Alarms have been added for Buy and Exit. When setting up the alarm, you should set it to be triggered at "every bar close". Otherwise it may repaint. There is no repaint after the candle closes.
5-) It is an indicator for educational and experimental purposes. It cannot be considered as investment advice. You should be careful and make your own risk assessment when opening real market trades using this indicator.

HYE Trend Avcısı
Bu indikatörde, trendlerin olabildiğince erken tespit edilebilmesi ve zamanında işleme girilebilmesi için gerekli olan en temel iki veriden (fiyat ve hacim) yararlanılmaktadır. Bu kapsamda, fiyat ve hacim kullanan bazı klasik ve yeni nesil indikatörlerin yaklaşımları dikkate alınmıştır.
İndikatör yalnızca alış yönlü sinyaller üretecek şekilde hazırlanmıştır. Alış ve çıkış sinyallerinin üretilmesi için aşağıdaki adımlar izlenmiştir.
1-) Öncelikle, indikatörün en temel iki verisi olan “yavaş öncü çizgi” ve “hızlı öncü çizgi” hesaplamasının yapılması gerekiyor. Bunun için de Ichimoku Bulutu olarak bilinen indikatörün “senkou span A” çizgisinin formülünü kullanıyoruz. Bu formülün hesaplamasında kullanılmaları nedeniyle ichimoku’da tenkan sen ve kijun sen olarak bilinen çizgileri de hesaplamamız gerekiyor.
Ichimoku bulutunda Tenkansen, Kijunsen ve Senkou Span A çizgileri hesaplanırken mumların yüksek ve düşük değerleri dikkate alınıyor. Bu indikatörde ise “yavaş öncü çizgi” ve “hızlı öncü çizgi” hesaplanırken periyodik VWAP’ın en yüksek ve en düşük değerleri dikkate alınıyor. (Periyodik vwap formülü, tradingviev’de @neolao tarafından kodlanmış ve kullanıma açılmış). Ayrıca, ichimoku bulutunda Senkou Span A çizgisi geleceğe yönelik çizilirken (26 mum ileriye dönük) biz bu indikatörde öncü çizgilerin son mumdaki değerlerini dikkate alıyoruz.
ORJİNAL ICHIMOKU SPAN A FORMÜLÜ
Tenkansen = (Son 9 mumun en yüksek değeri + Son 9 mumun en düşük değeri) / 2
Kijunsen = (Son 26 mumun en yüksek değeri + Son 26 mumun en düşük değeri) / 2
Senkou Span A = Tenkansen + Kijunsen / 2
HYE TREND HUNTER SPAN A FORMÜLÜ*
Tenkansen = (Son 9 mumun en yüksek VWAP değeri + Son 9 mumun en düşük VWAP değeri) / 2
Kijunsen = (Son 26 mumun en yüksek VWAP değeri + Son 26 mumun en düşük VWAP değeri) / 2
Senkou Span A = Tenkansen + Kijunsen / 2
* Yavaş çizgi için orijinal ichimoku değerleri olan 9 ve 26’yı kullanırken, hızlı çizgi için 5 ve 13’ü kullanıyoruz. Bu ayarlar, indikatör ayarlarından değiştirilebiliyor.
2-) Bu aşamada, elimizde en klasik trend indikatörlerinden birisi olan ichimoku bulutunun formülünden faydalanarak, işin içinde hacim ağırlıklı ortalama fiyatı da sokmak suretiyle elde ettiğimiz 2 çizgimiz var.
a-) Hızlı Öncü Çizgi (5-13)
b-) Yavaş Öncü Çizgi (9-26)
Birazdan yapacağımız hesaplama için bu iki çizginin de ortalamasını alarak yeni bir değer elde ediyoruz. Hızlı ve yavaş öncü çizgilerin ortalaması olan bu değeri kullanarak, teknik analizin en klasik volatilite indikatörlerinden birisi olarak bilinen Bollinger Bantları indikatörünü çizdiriyoruz. Böylelikle piyasada bir trend başlangıcının varlığı anlamına gelebilecek volatilite değişikliği var mı yok mu anlamaya çalışıyoruz. Bu veriyi al-sat sinyallerinin hesaplamasında kullanacağız.
Klasik Bollinger Bantları hesaplamasında, “kapanış fiyatıyla” hesaplanan hareketli ortalamaya, kullanıcı olarak belirlenen oranda (orijinal ayarlarında 2 kullanılır) bir çarpan uygulanarak standart sapma hesaplanıyor ve bu değer hareketli ortalamaya eklenip çıkartılarak üst bant ve alt bant çizgileri çiziliyor.
HYE Trend Avcısı indikatöründe, Bollinger Bandı hesaplamasında kapanış fiyatıyla hesaplanan hareketli ortalama yerine, 1. adımda hesapladığımız hızlı ve yavaş öncü çizgilerin ortalamasını dikkate alıyoruz ve buna göre bollinger üst ve alt bantlarını çizdiriyoruz. Standart sapma ve periyot olarak yine orijinal ayarlarında olduğu gibi 2 ve 20 değerlerini kullanıyoruz. Bu ayarlar da indikatör ayarlarından değiştirilebiliyor.
3-) Bu aşamada, elimizde VWAP kullanarak trend yönünü anlamaya çalışan hızlı ve yavaş öncü çizgilerimiz ile bu çizgilerin ortalaması ile hesaplanan bollinger alt ve üst bantlarımız var.
Bu adımda, yatırım yapılan piyasanın (forex, kripto, hisse senedi) hacimsel olarak ivme kazanıp kazanmadığını anlamamıza yarayacak bir araç daha kullanacağız. Time Segmented Volume indikatörü, Worden Kardeşler şirketi tarafından oluşturulmuş ve tradingview’de @liw0 ve @vitelot tarafından kodlanarak kullanıma açılmış. TSV indikatörü, bir yatırım aracının fiyatını ve hacmini belirli zaman aralıklarına göre bölümlere ayırarak, bu fiyat ve hacim verilerini, alış ve satış dönemlerini ortaya çıkarmak için karşılaştırmak üzerine hesaplamalar yapar.
HYE Trend Avcısı indikatöründe alış yönünde işlem yapmak için, TSV indikatörünün 0’ın üzerinde olmasını ve kendi üstel hareketli ortalama değerinin üzerinde olmasını arıyoruz. TSV periyodu ve üstel hareketli ortalama periyodu ayarları da (13 ve 7) indikatör ayarlarından değiştirilebiliyor.
ALIŞ SİNYALİ
1-) Hızlı Öncü Çizgi değeri bir önceki mumdaki Hızlı Öncü Çizgi değerinden yüksek olmalı.
2-) Yavaş Öncü Çizgi değeri bir önceki mumdaki Yavaş Öncü Çizgi değerinden yüksek olmalı.
3-) Kapanış Değeri, Üst Bollinger Bandı değerinden yüksek olmalı.
4-) TSV değeri 0’dan büyük olmalı.
5-) TSV değeri TSVEMA değerinden büyük olmalı.
ÇIKIŞ SİNYALİ
1-) Hızlı Öncü Çizgi değeri bir önceki mumdaki Hızlı Öncü Çizgi değerinden düşük olmalı.
2-) Yavaş Öncü Çizgi değeri bir önceki mumdaki Yavaş Öncü Çizgi değerinden düşük olmalı.
İPUÇLARI VE UYARILAR
1-) İndikatörün standart ayarları, yüksek zaman dilimlerinde (4 saatlik, günlük vs.) daha iyi çalışıyor. Düşük zaman dilimleri için indikatör ayarlarını değiştirmeli ve kendiniz için en iyi değeri bulmalısınız.
2-) İndikatörde tüm çizgiler (hızlı ve yavaş öncü çizgiler ile bollinger bantları) -TSV dışında- açık olarak gelmektedir. Daha sade bir görüntü için bu çizgilerin görünürlüğünü indikatör ayarlarından gizleyebilirsiniz.
3-) Hızlı ve yavaş öncü çizgilerin renk değişimlerini görebileceğiniz gibi bu çizgiler için tek bir renk olarak da İndikatör ayarlarında belirleme yapabilirsiniz.
4-) Alış ve Çıkış için alarmlar eklenmiştir. Alarm kurulumu yaparken “Her çubuk kapanışında” tetiklenecek şekilde ayarlama yapmalısınız. Aksi takdirde repaint yapabilir. Mum kapanışından sonra repaint söz konusu değildir.
5-) Eğitim ve deneysel amaçlı bir indikatördür. Yatırım tavsiyesi olarak değerlendirilemez. Bu indikatörü kullanarak gerçek piyasa işlem açarken dikkatli olmalı ve kendi risk değerlendirmenizi yapmalısınız.
On Balance Volume +This is the standard On Balance Volume indicator, with the addition of four things:
10-SMA
20-SMA
100-SMA
Bollinger Bands
I have found intriguing and surprising results with this indicator.
I often see OBV bouncing off of the Moving Average lines, much like support and resistance points.
More interesting is the fact that it "obeys" the bollinger bands. Often times, if OBV sneaks outside of the Bollinger Band, it will almost always correct and get back in the next day.
I would recommend that you find your own method, and PLEASE post in the comments as to how you use this, but I'll tell you
How I use this indicator:
I usually use this on the daily view. I tend to wait until OBV has moved above the red 20-Day SMA before considering an entry. Below that doesn't show enough positive volume for me to identify enough interest in the security. Once it breaks the red SMA, I'll look at other indicators for confirmation. If price is above the Bollinger Band up above, and my OBV is above Bollinger Band, I will not buy. Also, if MACD is dropping, or if the Stochastic RSI is pegged out in overbought land, I won't buy that either.
If, however, I'm seeing good stuff from Stochastic RSI, RSI, MACD, and price BB, then I'll take a long entry at that OBV + 20SMA crossover.
If I'm in a long position and I see a few signals like the OBV is above the BB, and price is above BB, and StochRSI or RSI are in/near overbought land, I'll often sell that day, expecting a pullback on price.
I really like this one, it's been quite helpful in my trading. This is my first venture into using Volume for trading, and it's been good so far.
Leave me a note in the comments to tell me how it goes and how you use this thing!
SuperTrend ToolkitThe SuperTrend Toolkit (Super Kit) introduces a versatile approach to trend analysis by extending the application of the SuperTrend indicator to a wide array of @TradingView's built-in or Community Scripts . This tool facilitates the integration of the SuperTrend algorithm with various indicators, including oscillators, moving averages, overlays, and channels.
Methodology:
The SuperTrend, at its core, calculates a trend-following indicator based on the Average-True-Range (ATR) and price action. It creates dynamic support and resistance levels, adjusting to changing market conditions, and aiding in trend identification.
pine_st(simple float factor = 3., simple int length = 10) =>
float atr = ta.atr(length)
float up = hl2 + factor * atr
up := up < nz(up ) or close > nz(up ) ? up : nz(up )
float lo = hl2 - factor * atr
lo := lo > nz(lo ) or close < nz(lo ) ? lo : nz(lo )
int dir = na
float st = na
if na(atr )
dir := 1
else if st == nz(up )
dir := close > up ? -1 : 1
else
dir := close < lo ? 1 : -1
st := dir == -1 ? lo : up
@TradingView's native SuperTrend lacks the flexibility to incorporate different price sources into its calculation.
Community scripts, addressed the limitation by implementing the option to input different price sources, for example, one of the most popular publications, @KivancOzbilgic's SuperTrend script.
In May 2023, @TradingView introduced an update allowing the passing of another indicator's plot as a source value via the input.source() function. However, the built-in ta.atr function still relied on the chart's price data, limiting the formerly mentioned scripts to the chart's price data alone.
Unique Approach -
This script addresses the aforementioned limitations by processing the data differently.
Firstly we create a User-Defined-Type (UDT) replicating a bar's open, high, low, close (OHLC) values.
type bar
float o = open
float h = high
float l = low
float c = close
We then use this type to store the external input data.
src = input.source(close, "External Source")
bar b = bar.new(
nz(src ) , open 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦
math.max(nz(src ), src), high 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦
math.min(nz(src ), src), low 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦
src ) close 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦
Finally, we pass the data into our custom built SuperTrend with ATR functions to derive the external source's version of the SuperTrend indicator.
supertrend st = b.st(mlt, len)
- Setup Guide -
Utility and Use Cases:
Universal Compatibility - Apply SuperTrend to any built-in indicator or script, expanding its use beyond traditional price data.
- A simple example on one of my own public scripts -
Trend Analysis - Gain additional trend insights into otherwise mainly mean reverting or volume indicators.
- Alerts Setup Guide -
The Super Kit empowers traders and analysts with a tool that adapts the robust SuperTrend algorithm to a myriad of indicators, allowing comprehensive trend analysis and strategy development.

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

BullBear with Volume-Percentile TP - Strategy [presentTrading] Happy New Year, everyone! I hope we have a fantastic year ahead.
It's been a while since I published an open script, but it's time to return.
This strategy introduces an indicator called Bull Bear Power, combined with an advanced take-profit system, which is the main innovative and educational aspect of this script. I hope all of you find some useful insights here. Welcome to engage in meaningful exchanges. This is a versatile tool suitable for both novice and experienced traders.
█ Introduction and How it is Different
Unlike traditional strategies that rely solely on price or volume indicators, this approach combines Bull Bear Power (BBP) with volume percentile analysis to identify optimal entry and exit points. It features a dynamic take-profit mechanism based on ATR (Average True Range) multipliers adjusted by volume and percentile factors, ensuring adaptability to diverse market conditions. This multifaceted strategy not only improves signal accuracy but also optimizes risk management, distinguishing it from conventional trading methods.

█ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
The BBP Strategy with Volume-Percentile TP utilizes several interconnected components to analyze market data and generate trading signals. Here's an overview with essential equations:
🔶 Core Indicators and Calculations
1. Exponential Moving Average (EMA):
- **Purpose:** Smoothens price data to identify trends.
- **Formula:**
EMA_t = (Close_t * (2 / (lengthInput + 1))) + (EMA_(t-1) * (1 - (2 / (lengthInput + 1))))
- Usage: Baseline for Bull and Bear Power.
2. Bull and Bear Power:
- Bull Power: `BullPower = High_t - EMA_t`
- Bear Power: `BearPower = Low_t - EMA_t`
- BBP:** `BBP = BullPower + BearPower`
- Interpretation: Positive BBP indicates bullish strength, negative indicates bearish.
3. Z-Score Calculation:
- Purpose: Normalizes BBP to assess deviation from the mean.
- Formula:
Z-Score = (BBP_t - bbp_mean) / bbp_std
- Components:
- `bbp_mean` = SMA of BBP over `zLength` periods.
- `bbp_std` = Standard deviation of BBP over `zLength` periods.
- Usage: Identifies overbought or oversold conditions based on thresholds.
🔶 Volume Analysis
1. Volume Moving Average (`vol_sma`):
vol_sma = (Volume_1 + Volume_2 + ... + Volume_vol_period) / vol_period
2. Volume Multiplier (`vol_mult`):
vol_mult = Current Volume / vol_sma
- Thresholds:
- High Volume: `vol_mult > 2.0`
- Medium Volume: `1.5 < vol_mult ≤ 2.0`
- Low Volume: `1.0 < vol_mult ≤ 1.5`
🔶 Percentile Analysis
1. Percentile Calculation (`calcPercentile`):
Percentile = (Number of values ≤ Current Value / perc_period) * 100
2. Thresholds:
- High Percentile: >90%
- Medium Percentile: >80%
- Low Percentile: >70%
🔶 Dynamic Take-Profit Mechanism
1. ATR-Based Targets:
TP1 Price = Entry Price ± (ATR * atrMult1 * TP_Factor)
TP2 Price = Entry Price ± (ATR * atrMult2 * TP_Factor)
TP3 Price = Entry Price ± (ATR * atrMult3 * TP_Factor)
- ATR Calculation:
ATR_t = (True Range_1 + True Range_2 + ... + True Range_baseAtrLength) / baseAtrLength
2. Adjustment Factors:
TP_Factor = (vol_score + price_score) / 2
- **vol_score** and **price_score** are based on current volume and price percentiles.
Local performance
🔶 Entry and Exit Logic
1. Long Entry: If Z-Score crosses above 1.618, then Enter Long.
2. Short Entry: If Z-Score crosses below -1.618, then Enter Short.
3. Exiting Positions:
If Long and Z-Score crosses below 0:
Exit Long
If Short and Z-Score crosses above 0:
Exit Short
4. Take-Profit Execution:
- Set multiple exit orders at dynamically calculated TP levels based on ATR and adjusted by `TP_Factor`.
█ Trade Direction
The strategy determines trade direction using the Z-Score from the BBP indicator:
- Long Positions:
- Condition: Z-Score crosses above 1.618.
- Short Positions:
- Condition: Z-Score crosses below -1.618.
- Exiting Trades:
- Long Exit: Z-Score drops below 0.
- Short Exit: Z-Score rises above 0.
This approach aligns trades with prevailing market trends, increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes.

Rolling VWAPGuide for Traders
What is the Rolling VWAP?
The Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is a key indicator used by traders to assess the average price of an asset, weighted by volume over a specified period. Unlike a simple moving average, the VWAP accounts for trading volume, making it a more accurate reflection of price action and market sentiment.
The Rolling VWAP in this script dynamically updates based on a user-defined period, allowing traders to view the average price over a chosen number of bars. This is particularly useful for identifying trends and potential entry or exit points in the market.
Key Benefits of Using Rolling VWAP
Better Market Insight: VWAP provides insight into where most trading is occurring, helping you gauge the strength of a price move.
Support and Resistance Levels: It often acts as dynamic support or resistance, signaling areas where price might reverse.
Trend Confirmation: A rising VWAP suggests a bullish trend, while a falling VWAP indicates a bearish trend.
Informed Entry/Exit Decisions: Use the VWAP to find entry points below it in an uptrend or exit points above it in a downtrend.
How to Use this Script:
Custom Period Input:
You can modify the "VWAP Period" to adjust the number of bars considered in the rolling calculation.
The default period is 14 bars, but you can set it based on your strategy (e.g., shorter for intraday trading, longer for swing trading).
Chart Interpretation
Bullish Signals: When the price is above the VWAP line, it suggests upward momentum, and you may consider buying opportunities.
Bearish Signals: When the price is below the VWAP, it indicates downward momentum, and you may consider selling or shorting opportunities.
Reversion to VWAP: Prices often revert to the VWAP after extended moves away from it, offering potential trade setups.
Combine with Other Indicators:
Momentum Indicators: Use with RSI, MACD, or moving averages for confirmation.
Volume Analysis: VWAP works well when combined with volume indicators to assess if a breakout is supported by high trading volume.
Customization:
Traders can customize the script's period and plot color to fit their charting preferences.
Practical Tips:
Intraday Traders: Use shorter periods (e.g., 5 or 10) to capture VWAP trends in fast-moving markets.
Swing Traders: Use longer periods (e.g., 50 or 100) to assess longer-term price and volume trends.
By integrating this Rolling VWAP into your strategy, you can better understand where the majority of trading volume has occurred, allowing you to make more informed decisions in your trading process.
Uptrick: Momentum Channel Indicator
### 🌟 **Uptrick: Momentum Channel Indicator (MC_Ind)** 🌟
The **"Uptrick: Momentum Channel Indicator"** is a powerful tool designed to help traders gauge market momentum and identify potential overbought or oversold conditions. Whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, this indicator can be your compass 🧭 in the complex world of trading.
### 🎯 **Purpose of the Indicator**
The primary goal of the **Momentum Channel Indicator** is to measure the deviation of price from its moving average (the mid-point) and to smooth this deviation to identify momentum shifts. By plotting overbought and oversold levels, the indicator helps traders spot potential reversal points where the market might change direction, offering valuable entry or exit signals.
### 🔧 **Inputs & Parameters**
Let's break down the input parameters that you can adjust to tailor the indicator to your trading style:
1. **`length1` (Channel Length) 📏**: This is the period over which the moving average (mid-point) and price deviation are calculated. The default value is 14, meaning the last 14 bars are considered for calculations.
2. **`length2` (Smoothing Length) 🧘**: This parameter controls the smoothing of the channel index, with a default value of 28. The higher the value, the smoother the momentum line, reducing noise and making trends more visible.
3. **`overbought1` & `overbought2` (Overbought Levels) 🔴**: These levels, set at 70 and 65 by default, represent the threshold above which the market is considered overbought, potentially signaling a selling opportunity.
4. **`oversold1` & `oversold2` (Oversold Levels) 🟢**: Similarly, these levels, set at -70 and -65, mark the threshold below which the market is considered oversold, indicating a potential buying opportunity.
### 🛠️ **How the Indicator Works**
Now, let's dive into the mechanics of the Momentum Channel Indicator:
1. **Mid-Point Calculation 🏁**: The mid-point is calculated using a simple moving average (SMA) of the closing prices over the `length1` period. This mid-point acts as a reference line from which deviations are measured.
2. **Price Deviation 📊**: The price deviation is the absolute difference between the closing price and the mid-point, smoothed over the same period (`length1`). This represents the typical price movement away from the mid-point.
3. **Channel Index 📉**: The channel index is calculated by dividing the price deviation by a fraction (0.01) of the mid-point, providing a normalized measure of how far the price has deviated from the average.
4. **Smoothing of the Channel Index 🌊**: The smoothed index (`mci1`) is calculated by applying a smoothing filter (SMA) over the channel index using the `length2` parameter. This helps reduce noise and highlight the true momentum of the market.
5. **Momentum Lines 📈**:
- **`mci1`**: The main momentum line, representing the smoothed channel index.
- **`mci2`**: A secondary momentum line, which is a further smoothed version of `mci1` using a 6-period SMA.
6. **Signal Lines 🚦**:
- **Overbought & Oversold Levels**: Horizontal lines plotted at `overbought1`, `overbought2`, `oversold1`, and `oversold2` levels serve as visual cues for overbought and oversold conditions.
- **Zero Line**: A central reference line at 0, indicating neutral momentum.
### 📈 **How to Use the Indicator**
#### 1. **Day Traders ⚡**
For day traders, the Momentum Channel Indicator can be a quick signal generator for short-term trades. Here's how you can use it:
- **Identify Entry Points 🎯**: Look for a **bullish crossover** when `mci1` crosses above `mci2` from below the `oversold1` level. This signals a potential upward reversal.
- **Spot Exit Points 🏁**: Watch for a **bearish crossunder** when `mci1` crosses below `mci2` from above the `overbought1` level. This could indicate a downward reversal.
- **Scalping 🔄**: In a fast-moving market, use the indicator to scalp by entering and exiting trades at these crossover points, with a tight stop-loss strategy.
#### 2. **Swing Traders 🎢**
Swing traders benefit from using the Momentum Channel Indicator to identify potential reversal points over a longer period:
- **Trend Confirmation 📊**: Use the smoothing effect of `mci2` to confirm trends. If `mci2` remains consistently above 0, it indicates a strong bullish trend, and vice versa.
- **Overbought/Oversold Reversals 🚀**: Enter trades when the price approaches the overbought or oversold levels (`overbought1`, `oversold1`). Combine this with other indicators, such as RSI, for more reliable signals.
- **Hold Positions 🧗**: Let the momentum lines guide your hold strategy. If the momentum lines stay aligned (both `mci1` and `mci2` are moving in the same direction), consider holding the position until a crossover or reversal signal appears.
#### 3. **Long-Term Investors 🏦**
For long-term investors, the Momentum Channel Indicator helps in fine-tuning entry and exit points based on broader market momentum:
- **Divergence Analysis 📐**: Look for divergence between the price and the momentum lines. If the price makes new highs but the momentum lines do not, it could signal a weakening trend and a potential reversal.
- **Strategic Entry/Exit 🏹**: Use the `overbought2` and `oversold2` levels to strategically enter or exit positions. These secondary levels provide an early warning before the market reaches extreme conditions.
- **Risk Management 🛡️**: The indicator can also be used as part of a risk management strategy by identifying when to reduce exposure in overbought markets or increase exposure in oversold markets.
### 🖼️ **Visualization & Interpretation**
The Momentum Channel Indicator is visually intuitive, with each component providing key insights:
1. **Momentum Lines (MCI1 & MCI2) 📈**:
- **Blue Line (`mci1`)**: Represents the main momentum line, providing immediate insights into market direction.
- **Orange Line (`mci2`)**: A secondary momentum line, further smoothed to confirm trends.
2. **Overbought/Oversold Levels 🔴🟢**:
- **Solid & Dashed Lines**: These lines highlight overbought and oversold regions, guiding traders on when to consider entering or exiting trades.
3. **MCI Difference (Purple Area) 🌌**:
- **Shaded Area**: The difference between `mci1` and `mci2`, shaded in purple, helps visualize the strength of the momentum. The larger the shaded area, the stronger the momentum.
### 🚀 **Advanced Tips & Tricks**
For those looking to maximize the potential of the Momentum Channel Indicator, here are some advanced strategies:
1. **Combine with Volume Indicators 📊**: Use volume indicators like OBV (On-Balance Volume) or Volume Oscillator to confirm momentum signals. For instance, a bullish crossover combined with increasing volume can reinforce a buy signal.
2. **Multiple Timeframe Analysis 🕒**: Apply the Momentum Channel Indicator across multiple timeframes (e.g., daily and weekly) to get a more comprehensive view of the market. This can help in aligning short-term trades with long-term trends.
3. **Adjusting Parameters 🔄**: Depending on market conditions, tweak the `length1` and `length2` parameters. In a highly volatile market, shorter lengths might provide quicker signals, whereas in a stable market, longer lengths could smooth out noise.
4. **Divergence & Convergence 📐**: Watch for divergence between price and momentum lines as a leading indicator of potential reversals. Convergence (when the price and momentum move in sync) can confirm the strength of the trend.
### **Conclusion**
The **Uptrick: Momentum Channel Indicator** is a versatile tool that can be customized for various trading styles and market conditions. Whether you're trading in fast-paced environments or analyzing long-term trends, this indicator offers a clear and intuitive way to gauge market momentum, identify potential reversals, and make informed trading decisions.
By understanding and applying the principles outlined above, you can harness the full power of this indicator, transforming your trading strategy from good to great! 🌟
Gann + Laplace Smoothed Hybrid Volume Spread Analysis Indicator
This Indicator stands apart by integrating the principles of the upgraded Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), the Laplace Stieltjes Transform and volume spread analysis, enhanced with a layer of Fourier smoothing to distill market noise and highlight trend directions with unprecedented clarity.
The length of EMA and Strategy Entries are modified with the Gann swings.
This smoothing process allows traders to discern the true underlying patterns in volume and price action, stripped of the distractions of short-term fluctuations and noise.
The core functionality of the GannLSHVSA revolves around the innovative combination of volume change analysis, spread determination (calculated from the open and close price difference), and the strategic use of the EMA (default 10) to fine-tune the analysis of spread by incorporating volume changes.
Trend direction is validated through a moving average (MA) of the histogram, which acts analogously to the Volume MA found in traditional volume indicators. This MA serves as a pivotal reference point, enabling traders to confidently engage with the market when the histogram's movement concurs with the trend direction, particularly when it crosses the Trend MA line, signalling optimal entry points.
It returns 0 when MA of the histogram and EMA of the Price Spread are not align.
WHAT IS GannLSHVSA INDICATOR:
The GannLSHVSA plots a positive trend when a positive Volume smoothed Spread and EMA of Volume smoothed price is above 0, and a negative when negative Volume smoothed Spread and EMA of Volume smoothed price is below 0. When this conditions are not met it plots 0.
ORIGINALITY & USEFULNESS:
The GannLSHVSA Strategy is unique because it applies upgraded DFT, the Laplace Stieltjes Transform for data smoothing, effectively filtering out the minor fluctuations and leaving traders with a clear picture of the market's true movements. The DFT's ability to break down market signals into constituent frequencies offers a granular view of market dynamics, highlighting the amplitude and phase of each frequency component. This, combined with the strategic application of Ehler's Universal Oscillator principles via a histogram, furnishes traders with a nuanced understanding of market volatility and noise levels, thereby facilitating more informed trading decisions. The Gann swing strategy is developed by meomeo105, this Gann high and low algorithm forms the basis of the EMA modification.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
My detailed description of the indicator and use cases which I find very valuable.
What is the meaning of price spread?
In finance, a spread refers to the difference between two prices, rates, or yields. One of the most common types is the bid-ask spread, which refers to the gap between the bid (from buyers) and the ask (from sellers) prices of a security or asset.
We are going to use Open-Close spread.
What is Volume spread analysis?
Volume spread analysis (VSA) is a method of technical analysis that compares the volume per candle, range spread, and closing price to determine price direction.
What does this mean?
We need to have a positive Volume Price Spread and a positive Moving average of Volume price spread for a positive trend. OR via versa a negative Volume Price Spread and a negative Moving average of Volume price spread for a negative trend.
What if we have a positive Volume Price Spread and a negative Moving average of Volume Price Spread?
It results in a neutral, not trending price action.
Thus the Indicator/Strategy returns 0 and Closes all long and short positions.
I suggest using "Close all" input False when fine-tuning Inputs for 1 TimeFrame. When you export data to Excel/Numbers/GSheets I suggest using "Close all" input as True, except for the lowest TimeFrame. I suggest using 100% equity as your default quantity for fine-tune purposes. I have to mention that 100% equity may lead to unrealistic backtesting results. Be avare. When backtesting for trading purposes use Contracts or USDT.

Tops & Bottoms by Volume [SS]Hey everyone,
Releasing this indicator that helps you time entries by alerting to potential tops and bottoms in the market.
Background to the indicator:
I was playing around with things that signalled reversals / tops and bottoms in SPSS and R using Pivot Points to mark tops and bottoms. Happened to come across a generally statistically significant relationship between sell to buy volume that was tracked over 10 to 50 candles back and pivot highs and pivot lows.
So I put it into a beta version of an indicator to see how it looked and was a bit surprised.
Since then, I have went back and narrowed down the details of what works/what doesn't work and this is the tentative result!
What it does / How to Use:
It tracks the cumulative buy vs sell volume. Buy volume is cumulated as close > open (or green candles) and sell is open > close (or red candles).
It then cumulates this over a user-defined period (defaulted to 14). It then looks back to see the highest vs lowest areas of sell and buy volume and makes determinations based on this relationship.
The relationship was determined by me using my own analysis and programmed into the indicators algorithm (using highest vs lowest function in pine).
It will plot areas of potential reversal to the upside as green on the histogram or red for a downside reversal. Once this becomes significant enough to signal an actual bottom or top, it will then change the SMA colour from white to green (for bottom) or red (for top).
Your entries generally should be once the SMA turns back to white. So from green to white, you would enter long or inverse for red to white (enter short).
Settings and Customizability:
Here are the key points to keep in mind if you are using this indicator:
Your lookback length should be between 10 to 50. I have left it open for you to modify it below and above this lookback period; however, this is the major periods deemed to be significant in identifying tops and bottoms. Thus, I advise against operating outside of those parameters.
You can toggle between smoothed look or historgram with SMA. The strength in this indicator comes from using the SMA and watching the SMA for signals of reversals, so if you want to filter out the background noise, you can simply look at the plotted SMA. If you want a more responsive indication of impending reversals, leave the smoothed option off and view the histogram in conjunction with the SMA.
The indicator will change the candle colour to red for bearish reversal and green to bullish reversal. This is based on the SMA. You can toggle this off and/or on as desired.
It is recommended to leave ETH (extended trading hours) turned off and RTH turned on.
Please read the instructions carefully.
If you require further assistance, I have posted a tutorial video.
Please be sure you are reading and/or watching carefully.
If you have questions, please feel free to post them below. But bear in mind I likely will not respond if it is already addressed in the description above (this happens often).
Also, feel free to leave your comments or suggestions below as well.
Thanks for checking this out. If you are interested in volume based trading, I suggest also checking out my Buyer to Seller volume indicator which cumulates total buying vs selling volume over a designated lookback period. Both of these used in conjunction are very powerful tools for volume based traders! ( Available here )
NOTE:
The boxes drawn in the chart are my own for demonstration purposes. I unfortunately cannot get the indicator to overlay the boxes on the chart in a separate viewing pane. That is why I opted to use the barcolor function to change the candle color instead :-).
Thanks again everyone and safe trades!
Realtime Delta Volume Action [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays on-chart, realtime, delta volume and delta ticks information for each bar. It aims to provide traders who trade price action on small timeframes with volume and tick information gathered as updates come in the chart's feed. It builds its own candles, which are optimized to display volume delta information. It only works in realtime.
█ WARNING
This script is intended for traders who can already profitably trade discretionary on small timeframes. The high cost in fees and the excitement of trading at small timeframes have ruined many newcomers to trading. While trading at small timeframes can work magic for adrenaline junkies in search of thrills rather than profits, I DO NOT recommend it to most traders. Only seasoned discretionary traders able to factor in the relatively high cost of such a trading practice can ever hope to take money out of markets in that type of environment, and I would venture they account for an infinitesimal percentage of traders. If you are a newcomer to trading, AVOID THIS TOOL AT ALL COSTS — unless you are interested in experimenting with the interpretation of volume delta combined with price action. No tool currently available on TradingView provides this type of close monitoring of volume delta information, but if you are not already trading small timeframes profitably, please do not let yourself become convinced that it is the missing piece you needed. Avoid becoming a sucker who only contributes by providing liquidity to markets.
The information calculated by the indicator cannot be saved on charts, nor can it be recalculated from historical bars.
If you refresh the chart or restart the script, the accumulated information will be lost.
█ FEATURES
Key values
The script displays the following key values:
• Above the bar: ticks delta (DT), the total ticks for the bar, the percentage of total ticks that DT represents (DT%)
• Below the bar: volume delta (DV), the total volume for the bar, the percentage of total volume that DV represents (DV%).
Candles
Candles are composed of four components:
1. A top shaped like this: ┴, and a bottom shaped like this: ┬ (picture a normal Japanese candle without a body outline; the values used are the same).
2. The candle bodies are filled with the bull/bear color representing the polarity of DV. The intensity of the body's color is determined by the DV% value.
When DV% is 100, the intensity of the fill is brightest. This plays well in interpreting the body colors, as the smaller, less significant DV% values will produce less vivid colors.
3. The bright-colored borders of the candle bodies occur on "strong bars", i.e., bars meeting the criteria selected in the script's inputs, which you can configure.
4. The POC line is a small horizontal line that appears to the left of the candle. It is the volume-weighted average of all price updates during the bar.
Calculations
This script monitors each realtime update of the chart's feed. It first determines if price has moved up or down since the last update. The polarity of the price change, in turn, determines the polarity of the volume and tick for that specific update. If price does not move between consecutive updates, then the last known polarity is used. Using this method, we can calculate a running volume delta and ticks delta for the bar, which becomes the bar's final delta values when the bar closes (you can inspect values of elapsed realtime bars in the Data Window or the indicator's values). Note that these values will all reset if the script re-executes because of a change in inputs or a chart refresh.
While this method of calculating is not perfect, it is by far the most precise way of calculating volume delta available on TradingView at the moment. Calculating more precise results would require scripts to have access to tick data from any chart timeframe. Charts at seconds timeframes do use exchange/broker ticks when the feeds you are using allow for it, and this indicator will run on them, but tick data is not yet available from higher timeframes. Also, note that the method used in this script is far superior to the intrabar inspection technique used on historical bars in my other "Delta Volume" indicators. This is because volume and ticks delta here are calculated from many more realtime updates than the available intrabars in history. Unfortunately, the calculation method used here cannot be used on historical bars, where intrabar inspection remains, in my opinion, the optimal method.
Inputs
The script's inputs provide many ways to personalize all the components: what is displayed, the colors used to display the information, and the marker conditions. Tooltips provide details for many of the inputs; I leave their exploration to you.
Markers
Markers provide a way for you to identify the points of interest of your choice on the chart. You control the set of conditions that trigger each of the five available markers.
You select conditions by entering, in the field for each marker, the number of each condition you want to include, separated by a comma. The conditions are:
1 — The bar's polarity is up/dn.
2 — `close` rises/falls ("rises" means it is higher than its value on the previous bar).
3 — DV's polarity is +/–.
4 — DV% rises (↕).
5 — POC rises/falls.
6 — The quantity of realtime updates rises (↕).
7 — DV > limit (You specify the limit in the inputs. Since DV can be +/–, DV– must be less than `–limit` for a short marker).
8 — DV% > limit (↕).
9 — DV+ rises for a long marker, DV– falls for a short.
10 — Consecutive DV+/DV– on two bars.
11 — Total volume rises (↕).
12 — DT's polarity is +/–.
13 — DT% rises (↕).
14 — DT+ rises for a long marker, DT– falls for a short.
Conditions showing the (↕) symbol do not have symmetrical states; they act more like filters. If you only include condition 4 in a marker's setup, for example, both long and short markers will trigger on bars where DV% rises. To trigger only long or short markers, you must add a condition providing directional differentiation, such as conditions 1 or 2. Accordingly, you would enter "1,4" or "2,4".
For a marker to trigger, ALL the conditions you specified for it must be met. Long markers appear on the chart as "Mx▲" signs under the values displayed below candles. Short markers display "Mx▼" over the number of updates displayed above candles. The marker's number will replace the "x" in "Mx▲". The script loads with five markers that will not trigger because no conditions are associated with them. To activate markers, you will need to select and enter the set of conditions you require for each one.
Alerts
You can configure alerts on this script. They will trigger whenever one of the configured markers triggers. Alerts do not repaint, so they trigger at the bar's close—which is also when the markers will appear.
█ HOW TO USE IT
As a rule, I do not prescribe expected use of my indicators, as traders have proved to be much more creative than me in using them. Additionally, I tend to think that if you expect detailed recommendations from me to be able to use my indicators, it's a sign you are in a precarious situation and should go back to the drawing board and master the necessary basics that will allow you to explore and decide for yourself if my indicators can be useful to you, and how you will use them. I will make an exception for this thing, as it presents fairly novel information. I will use simple logic to surmise potential uses, as contrary to most of my other indicators, I have NOT used this one to actually trade. Markets have a way of throwing wrenches in our seemingly bullet-proof rationalizing, so drive cautiously and please forgive me if the pointers I share here don't pan out.
The first thing to do is to disable your normal bars. You can do this by clicking on the eye icon that appears when you hover over the symbol's name in the upper-left corner of your chart.
The absolute value and polarity of DV mean little without perspective; that's why I include both total volume for the bar and the percentage that DV represents of that total volume. I interpret a low DV% value as indecision. If you share that opinion, you could, let's say, configure one of the markers on "DV% > 80%", for example (to do so you would enter "8" in the condition field of any marker, and "80" in the limit field for condition 8, below the marker conditions).
I also like to analyze price action on the bar with DV%. Small DV% values should often produce small candle bodies. If a small DV% value occurs on a bar with much movement and high volume, I'm thinking "tough battle with potential explosive power when one side wins". Conversely, large bodies with high DV% mean that large volume is breaching through multiple levels, or that nobody is suddenly willing to take the other side of a normal volume of trades.
I find the POC lines really interesting. First, they tell us the price point where the most significant action (taking into account both price occurrences AND volume) during the bar occurred. Second, they can be useful when compared against past values. Third, their color helps us in figuring out which ones are the most significant. Unsurprisingly, bunches of orange POCs tend to appear in consolidation zones, in pauses, and before reversals. It may be useful to often focus more on POC progression than on `close` values. This is not to say that OHLC values are not useful; looking, as is customary, for higher highs or lower lows, or for repeated tests of precise levels can of course still be useful. I do like how POCs add another dimension to chart readings.
What should you do with the ticks delta above bars? Old-time ticker tape readers paid attention to the sounds coming from it (the "ticker" moniker actually comes from the sound they made). They knew activity was picking up when the frequency of the "ticks" increased. My thinking is that the total number of ticks will help you in the same way, since increasing updates usually mean growing interest—and thus perhaps price movement, as increasing volatility or volume would lead us to surmise. Ticks delta can help you figure out when proportionally large, random orders come in from traders with other perspectives than the short-term price action you are typically working with when you use this tool. Just as volume delta, ticks delta are one more informational component that can help you confirm convergence when building your opinions on price action.
What are strong bars? They are an attempt to identify significance. They are like a default marker, except that instead of displaying "Mx▲/▼" below/above the bar, the candle's body is outlined in bright bull/bear color when one is detected. Strong bars require a respectable amount of conditions to be met (you can see and re-configure them in the inputs). Think of them as pushes rather than indications of an upcoming, strong and multi-bar move. Pushes do, for sure, often occur at the beginning of strong trends. You will often see a few strong bars occur at 2-3 bar intervals at the beginning or middle of trends. But they also tend to occur at tops/bottoms, which makes their interpretation problematic. Another pattern that you will see quite frequently is a final strong bar in the direction of the trend, followed a few bars later by another strong bar in the reverse direction. My summary analyses seemed to indicate these were perhaps good points where one could make a bet on an early, risky reversal entry.
The last piece of information displayed by the indicator is the color of the candle bodies. Three possible colors are used. Bull/bear is determined by the polarity of DV, but only when the bar's polarity matches that of DV. When it doesn't, the color is the divergence color (orange, by default). Whichever color is used for the body, its intensity is determined by the DV% value. Maximum intensity occurs when DV%=100, so the more significant DV% values generate more noticeable colors. Body colors can be useful when looking to confirm the convergence of other components. The visual effect this creates hopefully makes it easier to detect patterns on the chart.
One obvious methodology that comes to mind to trade with this tool would be to use another indicator like Technical Ratings at a higher timeframe to identify the larger context's trend, and then use this tool to identify entries for short-term trades in that direction.
█ NOTES AND RAMBLINGS
Instant Calculations
This indicator uses instant values calculated on the bar only. No moving averages or calculations involving historical periods are used. The only exception to this rule is in some of the marker conditions like "Two consecutive DV+ values", where information from the previous bar is used.
Trading Small vs Long Timeframes
I never trade discretionary at the 5sec–5min timeframes this indicator was designed to be used with; I trade discretionary at 1D, 1W and 1M timeframes, and let systems trade at smaller timeframes. The higher the timeframe you trade at, the fewer fees you will pay because you trade less and are not churning trading volume, as is inevitable at smaller timeframes. Trading at higher timeframes is also a good way to gain an instant edge on most of the trading crowd that has its nose to the ground and often tends to forget the big picture. It also makes for a much less demanding trading practice, where you have lots of time to research and build your long-term opinions on potential future outcomes. While the future is always uncertain, I believe trades riding on long-term trends have stronger underlying support from the reality outside markets.
To traders who will ask why I publish an indicator designed for small timeframes, let me say that my main purpose here is to showcase what can be done with Pine. I often see comments by coders who are obviously not aware of what Pine is capable of in 2021. Since its humble beginnings seven years ago, Pine has grown and become a serious programming language. TradingView's growing popularity and its ongoing commitment to keep Pine accessible to newcomers to programming is gradually making Pine more and more of a standard in indicator and strategy programming. The technical barriers to entry for traders interested in owning their trading practice by developing their personal tools to trade have never been so low. I am also publishing this script because I value volume delta information, and I present here what I think is an original way of analyzing it.
Performance
The script puts a heavy load on the Pine runtime and the charting engine. After running the script for a while, you will often notice your chart becoming less responsive, and your chart tab can take longer to activate when you go back to it after using other tabs. That is the reason I encourage you to set the number of historical values displayed on bars to the minimum that meets your needs. When your chart becomes less responsive because the script has been running on it for many hours, refreshing the browser tab will restart everything and bring the chart's speed back up. You will then lose the information displayed on elapsed bars.
Neutral Volume
This script represents a departure from the way I have previously calculated volume delta in my scripts. I used the notion of "neutral volume" when inspecting intrabar timeframes, for bars where price did not move. No longer. While this had little impact when using intrabar inspection because the minimum usable timeframe was 1min (where bars with zero movement are relatively infrequent), a more precise way was required to handle realtime updates, where multiple consecutive prices often have the same value. This will usually happen whenever orders are unable to move across the bid/ask levels, either because of slow action or because a large-volume bid/ask level is taking time to breach. In either case, the proper way to calculate the polarity of volume delta for those updates is to use the last known polarity, which is how I calculate now.
The Order Book
Without access to the order book's levels (the depth of market), we are limited to analyzing transactions that come in the TradingView feed for the chart. That does not mean the volume delta information calculated this way is irrelevant; on the contrary, much of the information calculated here is not available in trading consoles supplied by exchanges/brokers. Yet it's important to realize that without access to the order book, you are forfeiting the valuable information that can be gleaned from it. The order book's levels are always in movement, of course, and some of the information they contain is mere posturing, i.e., attempts to influence the behavior of other players in the market by traders/systems who will often remove their orders when price comes near their order levels. Nonetheless, the order book is an essential tool for serious traders operating at intraday timeframes. It can be used to time entries/exits, to explain the causes of particular price movements, to determine optimal stop levels, to get to know the traders/systems you are betting against (they tend to exhibit behavioral patterns only recognizable through the order book), etc. This tool in no way makes the order book less useful; I encourage all intraday traders to become familiar with it and avoid trading without one.
MACD-X, More Than MACD by DGTMoving Average Convergence Divergence – MACD
The most popular indicator used in technical analysis, the moving average convergence divergence (MACD), created by Gerald Appel. MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator, designed to reveal changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a financial instrument’s price
Historical evolution of MACD,
- Gerald Appel created the MACD line,
- Thomas Aspray added the histogram feature to MACD
- Giorgos E. Siligardos created a leader of MACD
MACD employs two Moving Averages of varying lengths (which are lagging indicators) to identify trend direction and duration. Then, MACD takes the difference in values between those two Moving Averages (MACD Line) and an EMA of those Moving Averages (Signal Line) and plots that difference between the two lines as a histogram which oscillates above and below a center Zero Line. The histogram is used as a good indication of a security's momentum.
Mathematically expressed as;
macd = ma(source, fast_length) – ma(source, slow_length)
signal = ma(macd, signal_length)
histogram = macd – signal
where exponential moving average (ema) is in common use as a moving average (ma)
fast_length = 12
slow_length = 26
signal_length = 9
The MACD indicator is typically good for identifying three types of basic signals ;
Signal Line Crossovers
A Signal Line Crossover is the most common signal produced by the MACD. On the occasions where the MACD Line crosses above or below the Signal Line, that can signify a potentially strong move. The standard interpretation of such an event is a recommendation to buy if the MACD line crosses up through the Signal Line (a "bullish" crossover), or to sell if it crosses down through the Signal Line (a "bearish" crossover). These events are taken as indications that the trend in the financial instrument is about to accelerate in the direction of the crossover.
Zero Line Crossovers
Zero Line Crossovers occur when the MACD Line crossed the Zero Line and either becomes positive (above 0) or negative (below 0). A change from positive to negative MACD is interpreted as "bearish", and from negative to positive as "bullish". Zero crossovers provide evidence of a change in the direction of a trend but less confirmation of its momentum than a signal line crossover
Divergence
Divergence is another signal created by the MACD. Simply, divergence occurs when the MACD and actual price are not in agreement. A "positive divergence" or "bullish divergence" occurs when the price makes a new low but the MACD does not confirm with a new low of its own. A "negative divergence" or "bearish divergence" occurs when the price makes a new high but the MACD does not confirm with a new high of its own. A divergence with respect to price may occur on the MACD line and/or the MACD Histogram
Moving Average Crossovers , another hidden signal that MACD Indicator identifies
Many traders will watch for a short-term moving average to cross above a longer-term moving average and use this to signal increasing upward momentum. This bullish crossover suggests that the price has recently been rising at a faster rate than it has in the past, so it is a common technical buy sign. Conversely, a short-term moving average crossing below a longer-term average is used to illustrate that the asset's price has been moving downward at a faster rate and that it may be a good time to sell.
Moving Average Crossovers in reality is Zero Line Crossovers, the value of the MACD indicator is equal to zero each time the two moving averages cross over each other. For easy interpretation by trades, Zero Line Crossovers are simply described as positive or negative MACD
False signals
Like any forecasting algorithm, the MACD can generate false signals. A false positive, for example, would be a bullish crossover followed by a sudden decline in a financial instrument. A false negative would be a situation where there is bearish crossover, yet the financial instrument accelerated suddenly upwards
What is “MACD-X” and Why it is “More Than MACD”
In its simples form, MACD-X implements variety of different calculation techniques applied to obtain MACD Line, ability to use of variety of different sources , including Volume related sources, and can be plotted along with MACD in the same window and all those features are available and presented within a single indicator, MACD-X
Different calculation techniques lead to different values for MACD Line, as will further discuss below, and as a consequence the signal line and the histogram values will differentiate accordingly. Mathematical calculation of both signal line and the histogram remain the same.
Main features of MACD-X ;
1- Introduces different proven techniques applied on MACD calculation , such as MACD-Histogram, MACD-Leader and MACD-Source, besides the traditional MACD (MACD-TRADITIONAL)
• MACD-Traditional , by Gerald Appel
It is the MACD that we know, stated as traditional just to avoid confusion with other techniques used with this study
• MACD-Histogram , by Thomas Aspray
The MACD-Histogram measures the distance between MACD and its signal line (the 9-day EMA of MACD). Aspray developed the MACD-Histogram to anticipate signal line crossovers in MACD. Because MACD uses moving averages and moving averages lag price, signal line crossovers can come late and affect the reward-to-risk ratio of a trade. Bullish or bearish divergences in the MACD-Histogram can alert chartists to an imminent signal line crossover in MACD
The MACD-Histogram represents the difference between MACD and its 9-day EMA, the signal line. Mathematically,
macdx = macd - ma(macd, signal_length)
Aspray's contribution served as a way to anticipate (and therefore cut down on lag) possible MACD crossovers which are a fundamental part of the indicator.
Here come a question, what if repeat the same calculations once more (macdh2 = macdh - ma(macdh, signal_length), will it be even better, this question will remain to be tested
• MACD-Leader , by Giorgos E. Siligardos, PhD
MACD Leader has the ability to lead MACD at critical situations. Almost all smoothing methods encounter in technical analysis are based on a relative-weighted sum of past prices, and the Leader is no exception. The concealed weights of MACD Leader are such that more relative weight is used in the more recent prices than the respective weights used by the components of MACD. In effect, the Leader expresses more changes in average price dynamics for the recent price movement than MACD, thus eventually leading MACD, especially when significant trend changes are about to take place.
Siligardos creates two less-laggard moving averages indicators in its formula using the same periods as follows
Indicator1 = ma(source, fast_length) + ma(source - ma(source, fast_length), fast_length)
Indicator2 = ma(source, slow_length) + ma(source - ma(source, slow_length), slow_length)
and then take the difference:
Indicator1 - Indicator2
The result is a new MACD Leader indicator
macdx = macd + ma(source - fast_ma, fast_length) - ma(source - slow_ma, slow_length)
• MACD-Source , a custom experimental interpretation of mine ,
MACD Source, presents an application of MACD that evaluates Source/MA Ratio, relatively with less lag, as a basis for MACD Line, also can be expressed as source convergence/divergence to its moving average. Among the various techniques for removing the lag between price and moving average (MA) of the price, one in particular stands out: the addition to the moving average of a portion of the difference between the price and MA. MACD Source, is based on signal length mean of the difference between Source and average value of shot length and long length moving average of the source (Source/MA Ratio), where the source is actual value and hence no lag and relatively less lag with the average value of moving average of the source . Mathematically expressed as,
macdx = ma(source - avg( ma(source, fast_length), ma(source, slow_length) ), signal_length)
MACD Source provides relatively early crossovers comparing to MACD and better momentum direction indications, assuming the lengths are set to same values
For further details, you are invited to check the following two studies, where the first seeds were sown of the MACD-Source idea
Price Distance to its Moving Averages study, adapts the idea of “Prices high above the moving average (MA) or low below it are likely to be remedied in the future by a reverse price movement", presented in an article by Denis Alajbeg, Zoran Bubas and Dina Vasic published in International Journal of Economics, Commerce and Management
First MACD like interpretation comes with the second study named as “ P-MACD ”, where P stands for price, P-MACD study attempts to display relationship between Price and its 20 and 200-period moving average. Calculations with P-MACD were based on price distance (convergence/divergence) to its 200-period moving average, and moving average convergence/divergence of 20-period moving average to 200-period moving average of price.
Now as explained above, MACD Source is a one adapted with traditional MACD, where Source stands for Price, Volume Indicator etc, any source applicable with MACD concept
2- Allows usage of variety of different sources, including Volume related indicators
The most common usage of Source for MACD calculation is close value of the financial instruments price. As an experimental approach, this study will allow source to be selected as one of the following series;
• Current Close Price (close)
• Average of High, Low, and Close Price (hlc3)
• On Balance Volume (obv)
• Accumulation Distribution (accdist)
• Price Volume Trend (pvt)
Where,
-Current Close Price and Average of High, Low, and Close Price are price actions of the financial instrument
- Accumulation Distribution is a volume based indicator designed to measure underlying supply and demand
- On Balance Volume (OBV) , is a momentum indicator that measures positive and negative volume flow
- Price Volume Trend (PVT) is a momentum based indicator used to measure money flow
3- Can be plotted along with MACD in the same window using the same scaling
Default setting of MACD-X will display MACD-Source with Current Close Price as a source and traditional MACD can be plotted eighter as a companion of MACD-X or can be selected to be plotted alone.
Applying both will add ability to compare, or use as a confirmation of one other
In case, traditional MACD Is plotted along with MACD-X to avoid misinterpreting, the lines plotted, the area between MACD-X Line and Signal-X Line is highlighted automatically, even if the highlight option not selected. Otherwise highlight will be applied only if that option selected
4- 4C Histogram
Histogram is plotted with four colors to emphasize the momentum and direction
5- Customizable
Additional to ability of selecting Calculation Method, Source, plotting along with MACD, there are few other option that allows users to customize the MACD-X indicator
Lengths are configurable, default values are set as 12, 26, 9 respectively for fast, slow and smoothing length. Setting lengths to 8,21,5 respectively Is worth checking, slower length moving averages will lead to less lag and earlier reaction to price actions but yet requires a caution and back testing before applying
Highlight the area between MACD-X Line and Signal-X Line, with colors emphasising the direction
Label can be added to display Calculation Method, Source and Length settings, the aim of this label is to server only as a reminder to trades to be aware of settings while they are occupied with charts, analysis etc.
Here comes another question, which is of more importance having the reminder or having the indicators with multi timeframe feature? Build-in Multi Time Frame features of Pine is not supported when labels and lines introduced in the script, there are other methods but brings complexity. To be studied further, this version will be with labels for time being.
Epilogue
MACD-X is an alternative variant of MACD, the insight/signals provided by MACD are also applicable to MACD-X with early and clear warnings for the changes in the trend.
If MACD is essential to your analysis, then it is my guess that after using the MACD-X for a while and familiarizing yourself with its unique character and personality, you will make it an inseparable companion to other indicators in your charts.
The various signals generated by MACD/MACD-X are easily interpreted and very few indicators in technical analysis have proved to be more reliable than the MACD, and this relatively simple indicator can quickly be incorporated into any short-term trading strategy

Objective Analysis of Spread (VSA)Note: Pardon for a busy chart. It really is irrelevant for this indicator. Just look at the bottom part of the chart for the indicator (SpAn).
This script is meant to add objectivity to the estimation of spread in VSA. This is best used with a similar volume indicator that measures volume in the same fashion, but a simple rule of "higher/lower than the previous 2 bars" for estimation of volume size can be used as well in conjunction with this indicator.
A 30-period (adjustable) SMA difference between the high and the close is used to estimate average spread. This value is used to plot bands of 0.8 and lower (blue) standard deviation for narrow spread, 0.8-1.3 (yellow) for medium spread, 1,3-1.8 (green) for wide spread, 1.8-3 (red) for ultra-wide spread. Anything above 3 (no color) is plain crazy. =)
How to use:
A histogram of each bar spread is plotted as well. See where each histogram bar ends. For example, if it ends in the green area, this bar has a wide spread.
Added indicator:
An ATR (14-period, adjustable) is plotted as a black line for your reference. May be used for stops. Otherwise, it is not necessary for VSA.
Feedback and suggestions for improvement are welcome.
Accumulation/Distribution Percentage (ADP) [Cyrus c|:D]Accumulation/Distribution Percentage ( ADP ) is used to measure money flow similar to Chaikin Money Flow ( CMF ) and Money Flow. It is the range-bound version of my previous indicator ADMF. This indicator can be used for analyzing momentum, buy/sell pressure, and overbought/oversold conditions. I believe that this indicator is more accurate than CMF and MFI (I will publish a TA about it one day!).
What to look for:
- When this indicator moves up, it means buy pressure is increasing and the other way around for sell pressure. Crossing 0 means that trend has changed in the given period (it is best to look for confirmation of buy/sell pressure in larger TFs)
- Overbought above 40 and oversold below -40 (these numbers vary depending on the security. Look for historical levels to determine overbought and oversold conditions of each security)
- Regular divergence shows that momentum of a trend is declining. Hidden divergence implies continuation of a trend. The non-bound mode should be more accurate for identifying divergence.
- Failure swings can detect potential reversals.
Please read Relative Strength Index and Money Flow for more information and similar disclaimers.
Recommendations:
- hlc3 (AKA typical price) as input source might be better than "close" as it captures more information. If you use hlc3 as a source, then change the chart type to line and set hlc3 as the source for identifying divergence.
- Use hybrid tickers e.g.(BITFINEX:BTCUSD+COINBASE:BTCUSD+BITSTAMP:BTCUSD)/3. Volume-based indicators are susceptible to wash trading/volume printing and hybrid tickers mitigate this issue.
- In non-bound mode, small TFs with longer length should be more accurate than larger TFs with standard length (same is true for many other indicators)
Background:
I have developed 4 indicators based on a simple but elegant concept of A/D ratio. A/D ratio is equal to (current close - previous close)/True Range (when there are no price gaps, True Range = High - Low)
1) What you see on ADV indicator as darker green and red is equal to A/D ratio x volume.
2) ADL indicator shows the summation of ADV
3) ADMF (or ADP in non-bound mode) shows Moving Average of ADV
4) ADP shows relative accumulation strength which is calculated as RMA (accumulations)/RMA(accumulation + distribution). ADP equation is based on RSI equation which is RMA(gains)/RMA(gains + losses). That is why these two indicators look quite similar.
PS: Please leave a like if you find these indicators useful. I am working on improvements on these and other indicators. I am trying my best to keep them as simple as possible. Please let me know in the comments if you want me to make future indicators even simpler.
--------
Complementary indicators based on the same concept:
ADL: a replacement for Chaikin's Accum/Dist, On Balance Volume, and Price Volume Trend
ADV: a replacement for regular volume indicator
ADP also has a scaled RSI and ADMF built in (ie ADMF is obsolete).
THF Crossover and Trend Signals Golden & Death Cross with VolumeScript Overview:
This Pine Script is designed to assist traders in identifying key buy/sell signals and major trend changes on the chart using Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) and Simple Moving Averages (SMA), as well as visualizing Golden Cross and Death Cross events. The script also includes a volume indicator to highlight the volume trading activity in relation to the price movements.
Key Features:
1. Moving Averages:
EMA 21: Exponential Moving Average over a 21-period, shown in green.
EMA 50: Exponential Moving Average over a 50-period, shown in yellow.
SMA 50: Simple Moving Average over a 50-period, shown in red.
SMA 200: Simple Moving Average over a 200-period, shown in blue.
2. Signals:
Buy Signal: Generated when EMA 21 crosses above SMA 50, indicating a potential upward trend. Displayed with a green label below the price bar.
Sell Signal: Generated when EMA 21 crosses below SMA 50, indicating a potential downward trend. Displayed with a red label above the price bar.
3. Golden Cross (Bullish Trend):
A Golden Cross occurs when EMA 50 crosses above SMA 200, which often signals the start of a long-term upward trend. The signal is displayed with a yellow label below the price bar.
4. Death Cross (Bearish Trend):
A Death Cross occurs when EMA 50 crosses below SMA 200, which often signals the start of a long-term downward trend. The signal is displayed with a blue label above the price bar.
5. Volume Indicator:

Twiggs Money FlowTwiggs Money Flow (TMF)
This indicator is an implementation of the Twiggs Money Flow (TMF), a volume-based tool designed to measure buying and selling pressure over a specified period. TMF is an enhancement of Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), utilizing more sophisticated smoothing techniques for improved accuracy and reduced noise. This version is highly customizable and includes advanced features for both new and experienced traders.
What is Twiggs Money Flow?
Twiggs Money Flow was developed by Colin Twiggs to provide a clearer picture of market momentum and the balance between buyers and sellers. It uses a combination of price action, trading volume, and range calculations to assess whether a market is under buying or selling pressure.
Unlike traditional volume indicators, TMF incorporates Weighted Moving Averages (WMA) by default but allows for other moving average types (SMA, EMA, VWMA) for added flexibility. This makes it adaptable to various trading styles and market conditions.
Features of This Script:
Customizable Moving Average Types:
Select from SMA , EMA , WMA , or VWMA to smooth volume and price-based calculations.
Tailor the indicator to align with your trading strategy or the asset's behavior.
Optional HMA Smoothing:
Apply Hull Moving Average (HMA) smoothing for a cleaner, faster-reacting TMF line.
Perfect for traders who want to reduce lag and capture trends earlier.
Dynamic Thresholds for Signal Filtering:
Set user-defined thresholds for Long (LT) and Short (ST) signals to highlight significant momentum.
Focus on actionable trends by ignoring noise around neutral levels.
Bar Coloring for Visual Clarity:
Automatically colors your chart bars based on TMF values:
Aqua for strong bullish signals (above the long threshold).
Fuchsia for strong bearish signals (below the short threshold).
Gray for neutral or undecided market conditions.
Ensures that trend direction and strength are visually intuitive.
Configurable Lookback Period:
Adjust the sensitivity of TMF by customizing the length of the lookback period to suit different timeframes and market conditions.
How It Works:
True Range Calculation: The script determines the high, low, and close range to calculate buying and selling pressure.
Adjusted Volume: Incorporates the relationship between price and volume to gauge whether trading activity is favoring buyers or sellers.
Weighted Moving Averages (WMAs): Smooths both volume and adjusted volume values to eliminate erratic fluctuations.
TMF Line: Computes the ratio of adjusted volume to total volume, representing the net buying/selling pressure as a percentage.
HMA Option (if enabled): Smooths the TMF line further to reduce lag and enhance trend identification.
Bar Coloring Logic:
Bars are colored dynamically based on TMF values, thresholds, and smoothing preferences.
Provides an at-a-glance understanding of market conditions.
Input Parameters:
Lookback Period: Defines the number of bars used to calculate TMF (default: 21).
Use HMA Smoothing: Toggle Hull Moving Average smoothing (default: true).
HMA Smoothing Length: Length of the HMA smoothing period (default: 14).
Moving Average Type: Select SMA, EMA, WMA, or VWMA (default: WMA).
Long Threshold (LT): Threshold value above which a long signal is considered (default: 0).
Short Threshold (ST): Threshold value below which a short signal is considered (default: 0).
How to Use It:
Confirm Trends: TMF can validate trends by identifying periods of sustained buying or selling pressure.
Divergence Signals: Watch for divergences between price and TMF to anticipate potential reversals.
Filter Trades: Use the thresholds to ignore weak signals and focus on strong trends.
Combine with Other Indicators: Pair TMF with trend-following or momentum indicators (e.g., RSI, Bollinger Bands) for a comprehensive trading strategy.
Example Use Cases:
Spotting breakouts when TMF crosses above the long threshold.
Identifying sell-offs when TMF dips below the short threshold.
Avoiding sideways markets by ignoring neutral (gray) bars.
Notes:
This indicator is highly customizable, making it versatile across different assets (e.g., stocks, crypto, forex).
While the default settings are robust, tweaking the lookback period, moving average type, and thresholds is recommended for different trading instruments or strategies.
Always backtest thoroughly before applying the indicator to live trading.
This version of Twiggs Money Flow goes beyond standard implementations by offering advanced smoothing, custom thresholds, and enhanced visual feedback to give traders a competitive edge.

300-Candle Weighted Average Zones w/50 EMA SignalsThis indicator is designed to deliver a more nuanced view of price dynamics by combining a custom, weighted price average with a volatility-based zone and a trend filter (in this case, a 50-period exponential moving average). The core concept revolves around capturing the overall price level over a relatively large lookback window (300 candles) but with an intentional bias toward recent market activity (the most recent 20 candles), thereby offering a balance between long-term context and short-term responsiveness. By smoothing this weighted average and establishing a “zone” of standard deviation bands around it, the indicator provides a refined visualization of both average price and its recent volatility envelope. Traders can then look for confluence with a standard trend filter, such as the 50 EMA, to identify meaningful crossover signals that may represent trend shifts or opportunities for entry and exit.
What the Indicator Does:
Weighted Price Average:
Instead of using a simple or exponential moving average, this indicator calculates a custom weighted average price over the past 300 candles. Most historical candles receive a base weight of 1.0, but the most recent 20 candles are assigned a higher weight (for example, a weight of 2.0). This weighting scheme ensures that the calculation is not simply a static lookback average; it actively emphasizes current market conditions. The effect is to generate an average line that is more sensitive to the most recent price swings while still maintaining the historical context of the previous 280 candles.
Smoothing of the Weighted Average:
Once the raw weighted average is computed, an exponential smoothing function (EMA) is applied to reduce noise and produce a cleaner, more stable average line. This smoothing helps traders avoid reacting prematurely to minor price fluctuations. By stabilizing the average line, traders can more confidently identify actual shifts in market direction.
Volatility Zone via Standard Deviation Bands:
To contextualize how far price can deviate from this weighted average, the indicator uses standard deviation. Standard deviation is a statistical measure of volatility—how spread out the price values are around the mean. By adding and subtracting one standard deviation from the smoothed weighted average, the indicator plots an upper band and a lower band, creating a zone or channel. The area between these bands is filled, often with a semi-transparent color, highlighting a volatility corridor within which price and the EMA might oscillate.
This zone is invaluable in visualizing “normal” price behavior. When the 50 EMA line and the weighted average line are both within this volatility zone, it indicates that the market’s short- to mid-term trend and its average pricing are aligned well within typical volatility bounds.
Incorporation of a 50-Period EMA:
The inclusion of a commonly used trend filter, the 50 EMA, adds another layer of context to the analysis. The 50 EMA, being a widely recognized moving average length, is often considered a baseline for intermediate trend bias. It reacts faster than a long-term average (like a 200 EMA) but is still stable enough to filter out the market “chop” seen in very short-term averages.
By overlaying the 50 EMA on this custom weighted average and the surrounding volatility zone, the trader gains a dual-dimensional perspective:
Trend Direction: If the 50 EMA is generally above the weighted average, the short-term trend is gaining bullish momentum; if it’s below, the short-term trend has a bearish tilt.
Volatility Normalization: The bands, constructed from standard deviations, provide a sense of whether the price and the 50 EMA are operating within a statistically “normal” range. If the EMA crosses the weighted average within this zone, it signals a potential trend initiation or meaningful shift, as opposed to a random price spike outside normal volatility boundaries.
Why a Trader Would Want to Use This Indicator:
Contextualized Price Level:
Standard MAs may not fully incorporate the most recent price dynamics in a large lookback window. By weighting the most recent candles more heavily, this indicator ensures that the trader is always anchored to what the market is currently doing, not just what it did 100 or 200 candles ago.
Reduced Whipsaw with Smoothing:
The smoothed weighted average line reduces noise, helping traders filter out inconsequential price movements. This makes it easier to spot genuine changes in trend or sentiment.
Visual Volatility Gauge:
The standard deviation bands create a visual representation of “normal” price movement. Traders can quickly assess if a breakout or breakdown is statistically significant or just another oscillation within the expected volatility range.
Clear Trade Signals with Confirmation:
By integrating the 50 EMA and designing signals that trigger only when the 50 EMA crosses above or below the weighted average while inside the zone, the indicator provides a refined entry/exit criterion. This avoids chasing breakouts that occur in abnormal volatility conditions and focuses on those crossovers likely to have staying power.
How to Use It in an Example Strategy:
Imagine you are a swing trader looking to identify medium-term trend changes. You apply this indicator to a chart of a popular currency pair or a leading tech stock. Over the past few days, the 50 EMA has been meandering around the weighted average line, both confined within the standard deviation zone.
Bullish Example:
Suddenly, the 50 EMA crosses decisively above the weighted average line while both are still hovering within the volatility zone. This might be your cue: you interpret this crossover as the 50 EMA acknowledging the recent upward shift in price dynamics that the weighted average has highlighted. Since it occurred inside the normal volatility range, it’s less likely to be a head-fake. You place a long position, setting an initial stop just below the lower band to protect against volatility.
If the price continues to rise and the EMA stays above the average, you have confirmation to hold the trade. As the price moves higher, the weighted average may follow, reinforcing your bullish stance.
Bearish Example:
On the flip side, if the 50 EMA crosses below the weighted average line within the zone, it suggests a subtle but meaningful change in trend direction to the downside. You might short the asset, placing your protective stop just above the upper band, expecting that the statistically “normal” level of volatility will contain the price action. If the price does break above those bands later, it’s a sign your trade may not work out as planned.
Other Indicators for Confluence:
To strengthen the reliability of the signals generated by this weighted average zone approach, traders may want to combine it with other technical studies:
Volume Indicators (e.g., Volume Profile, OBV):
Confirm that the trend crossover inside the volatility zone is supported by volume. For instance, an uptrend crossover combined with increasing On-Balance Volume (OBV) or volume spikes on up candles signals stronger buying pressure behind the price action.
Momentum Oscillators (e.g., RSI, Stochastics):
Before taking a crossover signal, check if the RSI is above 50 and rising for bullish entries, or if the Stochastics have turned down from overbought levels for bearish entries. Momentum confirmation can help ensure that the trend change is not just an isolated random event.
Market Structure Tools (e.g., Pivot Points, Swing High/Low Analysis):
Identify if the crossover event coincides with a break of a previous pivot high or low. A bullish crossover inside the zone aligned with a break above a recent swing high adds further strength to your conviction. Conversely, a bearish crossover confirmed by a breakdown below a previous swing low can make a short trade setup more compelling.
Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP):
Comparing where the weighted average zone lies relative to VWAP can provide institutional insight. If the bullish crossover happens while the price is also holding above VWAP, it can mean that the average participant in the market is in profit and that the trend is likely supported by strong hands.
This indicator serves as a tool to balance long-term perspective, short-term adaptability, and volatility normalization. It can be a valuable addition to a trader’s toolkit, offering enhanced clarity and precision in detecting meaningful shifts in trend, especially when combined with other technical indicators and robust risk management principles.

VSA Volume Spread AnalysisVolume Spread Analysis with Trend Direction is an indicator designed to Identify trend based volume spread.
Volume
Spread
Trend
This is a very simple yet powerful to identify Trend and corresponding volume Breakout. Unlike other Volume Indicators this indicator detects Breakout along with trend direction. One can detect the Early breakout in volume using this indicator. The Buy or Sell Signal is based on zero crossing of the Histogram.
Trend direction is confirmed using the MA of the Histogram which is similar to the Volume MA on volume indicator. One can enter a trade using the indicator when Trend direction and histogram are in same direction. Entry is done when ever histogram crosses the Trend MA line.
Fake entries can be eliminated by changing the indicator to higher Timeframe.
Spread is determined using the difference in open and close of the candle
Volume change is determined using the ratio of change of volume to previous volume
EMA 10 is used to determine the Spread and multiplied by volume change so the
PRICE(ema10), Volume, Spread(close-open) are merged to one indicator.
Direction changes when ever difference of VSA is positive or negative.
