[blackcat] L1 Markos Katsano Finite Volume ElementLevel: 1
Background
If you use both an interday indicator (such as the OBV) and an intraday (such as Chaikin’s money flow or intraday intensity) you might have noticed that they sometimes move in opposite directions.
This is because intraday money flow indicators leave out all price action from the close to the next day’s open. This omission should not be ignored, since major news such as earnings announcements are usually released overnight. You can find examples of contradicting signals between the OBV and CMF in Markos Katsanos' April 2003 and July 2011 articles in S&C.
To reconcile both methods Markos Katsanos designed a money flow indicator which takes into account both intra and interday price action and presented it in the April 2003 issue of S&C. In designing the FVE, Markos Katsanos also introduced a volatility threshold that excludes minimal price changes.
Function
Markos Katsanos' article "Detecting Breakouts" described the calculation and use of a price-volume indicator called the finite volume element (FVE) in April, 2003. Katsanos provides a detailed Excel spreadsheet in the article, and I've used it to write the equivalent pine code for the FVE. I named this indicator "Markos Katsanos Finite Volume Element" indicator.
The FVE provides 2 types of signals:
The strongest signal is divergence between price and the indicator. Divergence can provide leading signals of breakouts or warnings of impending corrections. The classic method for detecting divergence is for FVE to make lower highs while price makes higher highs (negative divergence). An alternative method is to draw the linear regression line on both charts, and compare the slopes. A logical buy signal would be for FVE, diverging from price, to rise sharply and make a series higher highs and/or higher lows.
The indicator level is a unique and very important property of this indicator. Values above zero are bullish and indicate accumulation while values below zero indicate distribution. FVE crossing the zero line indicates that the short to intermediate balance of power is changing from the bulls to the bears or vice versa. The best scenario is when a stock is in the process of building a base, and FVE diverges from price and rises to cross the zero line from below, at a sharp angle. Conversely the crossing of the zero line from above is a bearish signal to liquidate positions or initiate a short trade.

Lancelot Band - ATR Reversal+Trending IndicatorThis is an indicator I created recently, with the mind of spotting where price might reverse and where the price is trending. You can see this as the primary indicator for your system, however, it is recommended you use this in conjunction with other confirmation indicators.
This script focus solely on ATR or Average True Range.
This indicator is the combination of the baseline from the Ichimoku cloud and the concept of the Keltner channel.
Baseline period = 14
ATR period = 14
ATR Mult = 1.5
For reversal
Long when price crossover Lower band & Stop loss at xLower band
Sell when price crossunder Upper band & Stop loss at xUpper band
For Trend Following
Long when price crossover xUpper band and Stop loss at Upper band
Short when price crossunder xLower band and Stop loss at Upper band
Again, you will need other indicators to help you to succeed in this system. This indicator will not generate the best exit for your position but will generate a good entry signal when you use it with both volume indicator and exit indicator.
Works well on BTCUSD XBTUSD, as well as other major liquid Pair.
Feel free to follow me on Twitter @Lancelot_Auger for more free Alpha.

Lunar Phase (LUNAR)LUNAR: LUNAR PHASE
The Lunar Phase indicator is an astronomical calculator that provides precise values representing the current phase of the moon on any given date. Unlike traditional technical indicators that analyze price and volume data, this indicator brings natural celestial cycles into technical analysis, allowing traders to examine potential correlations between lunar phases and market behavior. The indicator outputs a normalized value from 0.0 (new moon) to 1.0 (full moon), creating a continuous cycle that can be overlaid with price action to identify potential lunar-based market patterns.
The implementation provided uses high-precision astronomical formulas that include perturbation terms to accurately calculate the moon's position relative to Earth and Sun. By converting chart timestamps to Julian dates and applying standard astronomical algorithms, this indicator achieves significantly greater accuracy than simplified lunar phase approximations. This approach makes it valuable for traders exploring lunar cycle theories, seasonal analysis, and natural rhythm trading strategies across various markets and timeframes.
🌒 CORE CONCEPTS 🌘
Lunar cycle integration: Brings the 29.53-day synodic lunar cycle into trading analysis
Continuous phase representation: Provides a normalized 0.0-1.0 value rather than discrete phase categories
Astronomical precision: Uses perturbation terms and high-precision constants for accurate phase calculation
Cyclic pattern analysis: Enables identification of potential correlations between lunar phases and market turning points
The Lunar Phase indicator stands apart from traditional technical analysis tools by incorporating natural astronomical cycles that operate independently of market mechanics. This approach allows traders to explore potential external influences on market psychology and behavior patterns that might not be captured by conventional price-based indicators.
Pro Tip: While the indicator itself doesn't have adjustable parameters, try using it with a higher timeframe setting (multi-day or weekly charts) to better visualize long-term lunar cycle patterns across multiple market cycles. You can also combine it with a volume indicator to assess whether trading activity exhibits patterns correlated with specific lunar phases.
🧮 CALCULATION AND MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Simplified explanation:
The Lunar Phase indicator calculates the angular difference between the moon and sun as viewed from Earth, then transforms this angle into a normalized 0-1 value representing the illuminated portion of the moon visible from Earth.
Technical formula:
Convert chart timestamp to Julian Date:
JD = (time / 86400000.0) + 2440587.5
Calculate Time T in Julian centuries since J2000.0:
T = (JD - 2451545.0) / 36525.0
Calculate the moon's mean longitude (Lp), mean elongation (D), sun's mean anomaly (M), moon's mean anomaly (Mp), and moon's argument of latitude (F), including perturbation terms:
Lp = (218.3164477 + 481267.88123421*T - 0.0015786*T² + T³/538841.0 - T⁴/65194000.0) % 360.0
D = (297.8501921 + 445267.1114034*T - 0.0018819*T² + T³/545868.0 - T⁴/113065000.0) % 360.0
M = (357.5291092 + 35999.0502909*T - 0.0001536*T² + T³/24490000.0) % 360.0
Mp = (134.9633964 + 477198.8675055*T + 0.0087414*T² + T³/69699.0 - T⁴/14712000.0) % 360.0
F = (93.2720950 + 483202.0175233*T - 0.0036539*T² - T³/3526000.0 + T⁴/863310000.0) % 360.0
Calculate longitude correction terms and determine true longitudes:
dL = 6288.016*sin(Mp) + 1274.242*sin(2D-Mp) + 658.314*sin(2D) + 214.818*sin(2Mp) + 186.986*sin(M) + 109.154*sin(2F)
L_moon = Lp + dL/1000000.0
L_sun = (280.46646 + 36000.76983*T + 0.0003032*T²) % 360.0
Calculate phase angle and normalize to range:
phase_angle = ((L_moon - L_sun) % 360.0)
phase = (1.0 - cos(phase_angle)) / 2.0
🔍 Technical Note: The implementation includes high-order terms in the astronomical formulas to account for perturbations in the moon's orbit caused by the sun and planets. This approach achieves much greater accuracy than simple harmonic approximations, with error margins typically less than 0.1% compared to ephemeris-based calculations.
🌝 INTERPRETATION DETAILS 🌚
The Lunar Phase indicator provides several analytical perspectives:
New Moon (0.0-0.1, 0.9-1.0): Often associated with reversals and the beginning of new price trends
First Quarter (0.2-0.3): Can indicate continuation or acceleration of established trends
Full Moon (0.45-0.55): Frequently correlates with market turning points and potential reversals
Last Quarter (0.7-0.8): May signal consolidation or preparation for new market moves
Cycle alignment: When market cycles align with lunar cycles, the effect may be amplified
Phase transition timing: Changes between lunar phases can coincide with shifts in market sentiment
Volume correlation: Some markets show increased volatility around full and new moons
⚠️ LIMITATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
Correlation vs. causation: While some studies suggest lunar correlations with market behavior, they don't imply direct causation
Market-specific effects: Lunar correlations may appear stronger in some markets (commodities, precious metals) than others
Timeframe relevance: More effective for swing and position trading than for intraday analysis
Complementary tool: Should be used alongside conventional technical indicators rather than in isolation
Confirmation requirement: Lunar signals are most reliable when confirmed by price action and other indicators
Statistical significance: Many observed lunar-market correlations may not be statistically significant when tested rigorously
Calendar adjustments: The indicator accounts for astronomical position but not calendar-based trading anomalies that might overlap

Gross and Net LTF Volume + Trailing Percentile Sessions CVOL Hi Traders !
Gross volume, net lower time frame (LTF) volume and trailing session percentile Cumulative session volume:
The code calculates and plots the following volume indicators:
Volume (Gross Volume): The total volume for the current bar.
Net lower time frame volume: The difference between the buy and sell volumes of the lower time frame.
Cumulative daily session volume: The cumulative sum of the volume for the current day.
Percentile Cumulative daily session volume: The percentile of the cumulative daily session volume (calculated on a rolling basis).
The above indicators may be plotted exclusively or exclusively.
Why is Volume important:
Volume is the number of shares or contracts traded (of a financial asset) during a given time period (timeframe). It is a crucial indicator in technical analysis and quantitative trading, as volume helps in identifying
Price Confirmation: Volume confirms price movements by indicating the level of interest and participation in the market. When prices move significantly, accompanied by strong volume, it suggests that the movement is likely to be sustained. Conversely, if prices move without significant volume, it suggests that the movement may be temporary or lacking conviction.
Trend Strength: Volume can help identify the strength and direction of a trend. During an uptrend, increasing volume alongside price increases indicates that the upward momentum is gaining traction. Conversely, decreasing volume during an uptrend suggests that the upward momentum may be weakening.
Reversal Points: Sharp volume spikes in the opposite direction of the prevailing trend can signal a potential reversal point. This is because large volume indicates a significant shift in trader sentiment, suggesting that the trend may be changing direction.
Liquidity: High volume indicates that a security is liquid, meaning that it can be easily bought and sold without significant price impact. Liquidity is important for traders who want to execute large orders without significantly affecting the market price.
For example, suppose we want to identify positive price confirmation and positive trend strength, in this case we may use the CVOL (with trailing percentile).
The above image showcases price expansion conditional on high positive volume (increasing CVOL), The price expansion also exhibits Volume confluences (the colored bars).
Positive Confluence: Increase in positive total volume and an increase in positive lower time frame volume in relative and absolute terms.
Negative Confluence : Increase in negative total volume and an increase in negative lower time frame volume in relative and absolute terms.
Also note how the percentile color does not change, this means that the new volume bars are > than the highest percentile (80%) of volume values from the beginning of the session.
Signs of the Times [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
This oscillator calculates the directional strength of bars using a primitive weighing mechanism based on a small number of what I consider to be fundamental properties of a bar. It does not consider the amplitude of price movements, so can be used as a complement to momentum-based oscillators. It thus belongs to the same family of indicators as my Bar Balance , Volume Ticks , Efficient work , Volume Buoyancy or my Delta Volume indicators.
█ CONCEPTS
The calculations underlying Signs of the Times (SOTT) use a simple, oft-explored concept: measure bar attributes, assign a weight to them, and aggregate results to provide an evaluation of a bar's directional strength. Bull and bear weights are added independently, then subtracted and divided by the maximum possible weight, so the final calculation looks like this:
(up - dn) / weightRange
SOTT has a zero centerline and oscillates between +1 and -1. Ten elementary properties are evaluated. Most carry a weight of one, a few are doubly weighted. All properties are evaluated using only the current bar's values or by comparing its values to those of the preceding bar. The bull conditions follow; their inverse applies to bear conditions:
Weight of 1
• Bar's close is greater than the bar's open (bar is considered to be of "up" polarity)
• Rising open
• Rising high
• Rising low
• Rising close
• Bar is up and its body size is greater than that of the previous bar
• Bar is up and its body size is greater than the combined size of wicks
Weight of 2
• Gap to the upside
• Efficient Work when it is positive
• Bar is up and volume is greater than that of the previous bar (this only kicks in if volume is actually available on the chart's data feed)
Except for the Efficient Work weight, which is a +1 to -1 float value multiplied by 2, all weights are discrete; either zero or the full weight of 1 or 2 is generated. This will cause any gap, for example, to generate a weight of +2 or -2, regardless of the gap's size. That is the reason why the oscillator is oblivious to the amplitude of price movements.
You can see the code used to calculate SOTT in my ta library 's `sott()` function.
█ HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR
No videos explain this indicator and none are planned; reading this description or the script's code is the only way to understand what Signs of the Times does.
Load the indicator on an active chart (see here if you don't know how).
The default configuration displays:
• An Arnaud-Legoux moving average of length 20 of the instant SOTT value. This is the signal line.
• A fill between the MA and the centerline.
• Levels at arbitrary values of +0.3 and -0.3.
• A channel between the signal line and its MA (a simple MA of length 20), which can be one of four colors:
• Bull (green): The signal line is above its MA.
• Strong bull (lime): The bull condition is fulfilled and the signal line is above the centerline.
• Bear (red): The signal line is below its MA.
• Strong bear (pink): The bear condition is fulfilled and the signal line is below the centerline.
The script's "Inputs" tab allows you to:
• Choose a higher timeframe to calculate the indicator's values. This can be useful to get a wider perspective of the indicator's values.
If you elect to use a higher timeframe, make sure that your chart's timeframe is always lower than the higher timeframe you specified,
as calculating on a timeframe lower than the chart's does not make much sense because the indicator is then displaying only the value of the last intrabar in the chart bar.
• Specify the type of MA used to produce the signal line. Use a length of 1 or the Data Window to see the instant value of SOTT. It is quite noisy, thus the need to average it.
• Specify the type of MA applied to the signal line. The idea here is to provide context to the signal.
• Control the display and colors of the lines and fills.
The first pane of this publication's chart shows the default setup. The second one shows only a monochrome signal line.
Using the "Style" tab of the indicator's settings, you can change the type and width of the lines, and the level values.
█ INTERPRETATION
Remember that Signs of the Times evaluates directional bar strength — not price movement. Its highs and lows do not reflect price, but the strength of chart bars. The fact that SOTT knows nothing of how far price moves or of trends is easy to forget. As such, I think SOTT is best used as a confirmation tool. Chart movements may appear to be easy to read when looking at historical bars, but when you have to make go-no-go decisions on the last bar, the landscape often becomes murkier. By providing a quantitative evaluation of the strength of the last few bars, which is not always easily discernible by simply looking at them, SOTT aims to help you decide if the short-term past favors the bets you are considering. Can SOTT predict the future? Of course not.
While SOTT uses completely different calculations than classical momentum oscillators, its profile shares many of their characteristics. This could lead one to infer that directional bar strength correlates with price movement, which could in turn lead one to conclude that indicators such as this one are useless, or that they can be useful tools to confirm momentum oscillators or other models of price movement. The call is, of course, up to you. You can try, for example, to compare a Wilder MA of SOTT to an RSI of the same length.
One key difference with momentum oscillators is that SOTT is much less sensitive to large price movements. The default Arnaud-Legoux MA used for the signal line makes it quite active; you can use a more quiet SMA or EMA if you prefer to tone it down.
In systems where it can be useful to only enter or exit on short-term strength, an average of SOTT values over the last 3 to 5 bars can be used as a more quiet filter than a momentum oscillator would.
█ NOTES
My publications often go through a long gestation period where I use them on my charts or in systems before deciding if they are worth a publication. With an incubation period of more than three years, Signs of the Times holds the record. The properties SOTT currently evaluates result from the systematic elimination of contaminants over that lengthy period of time. It was long because of my usual, slow gear, but also because I had to try countless combinations of conditions before realizing that, contrary to my intuition, best results were achieved by:
• Keeping the number of evaluated properties to the absolute minimum.
• Limiting the evaluation's scope to the current and preceding bar.
• Choosing properties that, in my view, were unmistakably indicative of bullish/bearish conditions.
Repainting
As most oscillators, the indicator provides live realtime values that will recalculate with chart updates. It will thus repaint in real time, but not on historical values. To learn more about repainting, see the Pine Script™ User Manual's page on the subject .
Strategy Myth-Busting #6 - PSAR+MA+SQZMOM+HVI - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our sixth one we are automating is " I Tested ''7% Profit Per Day" Scalping Strategy 100 Times ( Unexpected Results ) " from " TradeIQ " which claims to have made 175% profit on the 5 min chart of BTCUSD with a having a 61% win rate in just 32 days.
Originally, we mimicked verbatim the indicators and settings TradeIQ was using however weren't getting promising results anything close to the claim so we decided to try and improve on it. We changed the static Parabolic SAR to be adaptive based upon the timeframe. We did this by using an adjustable multiplier for the PSAR Max. Also, In TradeIQ's revised version he substituted Hawkeye's Volume Indicator in lieu of Squeeze Momentum. We found that including both indicators we were getting better results so included them both. Feel free to experiment more. Would love to see how this could be improved on.
This strategy uses a combination of 4 open-source public indicators:
Parabolic Sar (built in)
10 in 1 MA's by hiimannshu
Squeeze Momentum by lazybear
HawkEYE Volume Indicator by lazybear
Trading Rules
5m timeframe and above. We saw equally good results in the higher (3h - 4h) timeframes as well.
Long Entry:
Parabolic Sar shifts below price at last dot above and then previous bar needs to breach above that.
Price action has to be below both MA's and 50MA needs to be above 200MA
Squeeze Momentum needsd to be in green or close to going green
HawkEYE Volume Indicator needs to be show a green bar on the histagram
Short Entry:
Parabolic Sar shifts above price at last dot below and then previous bar needs to breach below that.
Price action needs to be above both MA's and 50MA needs to be below 200MA
Squeeze Momentum needsd to be in red or close to going red
HawkEYE Volume Indicator needs to be show a red bar on the histagram

Stock Tech Bot One ViewTechnical indicators are not limited. Hence, here is another indicator with the combination of OBV, RSI, and MACD along with support, and resistance that follows the price while honoring the moving average of 200, 90 & 50.
The default lookback period of this indicator is 21 though it is changeable as per the user's desire.
The highest high and lowest low for the last 21 days lookback period proven to be the perfect Support & Resistance as the price of particular stock values are decided by market psychology. The support and resistance lines are very important to understand the market psychology which is very well proven with price action patterns and the lines are drawn based on,
Lower Extreme = 0.1 (Changeable)
Maximum Range = 21 days highest high - 21 days lowest low.
Support Line = 21 days lowest low + (Maximum Range * Lower Extreme)
Resistance Line = 21 days highest high - (Maximum Range * Lower Extreme)
RSI - Relative strength indicator is very famous to find the market momentum within the range of 0 - 100. Though the lookback period is changeable, the 14 days lookback period is the perfect match as the momentum of market movement for the last 3 weeks will always assist to identify the market regime. Here the momentum is just to highlight the indication (green up arrow under the candle for long and red down arrow above the candle for short) of market movement though it is not very important to consider if the price of the stock respect the support & resistance lines along with volume indicator (* = violet color).
OBV - Momentum:
The on-balance volume is always going indicator on any kind of tickers, which helps to identify the buying interest. Now, applying momentum on OBV with the positive movement for at least two consecutive days gives perfect confirmation for entry. A combination of the price along with this momentum(OBV) in the chart will help us to know the whipsaw in the price.
The Symbol "*" on top of each bar shows the market interest in that particular stock. If your ticker is fundamentally strong then you can see this "*" even when the market falls.
MACD:
One of the favorites and simple indicators widely used, where the thump of the rule is not to change the length even if it is allowed. It's OK to believe blindly in certain indicator and consider it while trading. That's why the indicator changes the bar color by following the MACD histogram.
Volume:
It may be the OBV works based on the open price and close price along with volume movement, it is wise to have the volume that is plotted along with price movement that should help you to decide whether the market is greedy or fearful.
The symbol "-" on top of each bar tells you a lot and don't ignore it.
Moving Average:
Moving average is a very good trend indicator as everyone considers seeing along with the price in the chart which is not omitted while we gauge the price movement alone with volume in this indicator. The 200, 90 & 50 MA's are everyone's favorite, and the same is plotted on the chart.
As explained above, the combination of all four indicators with price movement will give us very good confidence to take entry.
Candlestick Pattern:
You should admire the techniques of the candlestick pattern as you navigate the chart from right to left. Though there are a lot of patterns that exist, it is easy to enable and disable to view the signal as the label.
Further, last but not least, the exit always depends on individual conviction and how often the individual watch the price movement, if your conviction is strong then follow the down arrow red indication. If not, then exit with a trailing stop that indicates the bar with orange color.
Happy investing
Note: It is just a combination of multiple indicators and patterns to get one holistic view. So, the credit goes to all wise developers who publically published.
Volume Spikes & Growing Volume Signals With Alerts & ScannerVOLUME SPIKES & GROWING VOLUME SIGNALS WITH ALERTS & SCANNER
This indicator shows arrows when there is a volume spike. It also paints the background when volume is growing. There is also a volume scanner for 8 tickers that will change color in real time when your other favorite tickers see volume growth and spikes.
You can customize the length of DMI, the number of bars to calculate the current volume average from, the number of bars back to get the overall volume average from, the multiple that needs to be hit to give a signal, the position of the scanner table and which tickers are used in the scanner. There are detailed directions as tooltips in the indicator settings you can read to understand exactly what each input does.
All features are customizable as well as which tickers the screener uses.
***HOW TO USE***
Watch for volume to pick up before placing trades as this will help you stay out of the markets when price is choppy. Volume usually brings volatility so watch for the volume signals to show up on the chart. Typically when price has made a big move one direction or is consolidating and you see the volume indicator start giving signals, the market is ready to reverse or continue its current trend but move faster in that direction.
Volume Spikes
When there is a volume spike that is larger than the average of volume over the last 100+ bars(depending on your settings) multiplied by the volume amount multiplier(in your settings) then an arrow will show up on the chart. This arrow will be green if DMI is bullish and red if DMI is bearish.
Volume Growth
A Background color will appear when the average volume over the last 5 bars(depending on your settings) is higher than the average volume over the last 100+ bars(depending on your settings) and is greater than your multiple. It will also paint the background when the volume moving average has increased over the last 3 bars consecutively. The background colors will be red or green depending on buy & sell pressure(DMI). If the background color appears, then you know volume is growing and volatility is near.
Volume Scanner
The scanner can be customized to have all of your favorite tickers by changing the tickers used in the indicator settings at the bottom. When no volume growth or spikes are detected, the ticker will show as light blue. When volume spikes or growth is detected, the ticker will turn orange to notify you.
Alerts
You can set up alerts as well when there is volume growth, bullish volume spikes and bearish volume spikes on any chart or timeframe.
Indicator Settings
Settings will need to be adjusted across different tickers as some have large swings in volume and some stay pretty even, so make sure to set up different chart layouts with settings that work for each ticker and save them individually so you don’t have to reset these values every time you switch charts.
***MARKETS***
This indicator can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex as long as Tradingview has volume and DMI data for that ticker.
***TIMEFRAMES***

ADM Indicator [CHE] Comprehensive Description of the Three Market Phases for TradingView
Introduction
Financial markets often exhibit patterns that reflect the collective behavior of participants. Recognizing these patterns can provide traders with valuable insights into potential future price movements. The ADM Indicator is designed to help traders identify and capitalize on these patterns by detecting three primary market phases:
1. Accumulation Phase
2. Manipulation Phase
3. Distribution Phase
This indicator places labels on the chart to signify these phases, aiding traders in making informed decisions. Below is an in-depth explanation of each phase, including how the ADM Indicator detects them.
1. Accumulation Phase
Definition
The Accumulation Phase is a period where informed investors or institutions discreetly purchase assets before a potential price increase. During this phase, the price typically moves within a confined range between established highs and lows.
Characteristics
- Price Range Bound: The asset's price stays within the previous high and low after a timeframe change.
- Low Volatility: Minimal price movement indicates a balance between buyers and sellers.
- Steady Volume: Trading volume may remain relatively constant or show slight increases.
- Market Sentiment: General market interest is low, as the accumulation is not yet apparent to the broader market.
Detection with ADM Indicator
- Criteria: An accumulation is detected when the price remains within the previous high and low after a timeframe change.
- Indicator Action: At the end of the period, if accumulation has occurred, the indicator places a label "Accumulation" on the chart.
- Visual Cues: A yellow semi-transparent background highlights the accumulation phase, enhancing visual recognition.
Implications for Traders
- Entry Opportunity: Consider preparing for potential long positions before a possible upward move.
- Risk Management: Use tight stop-loss orders below the support level due to the defined trading range.
2. Manipulation Phase
Definition
The Manipulation Phase, also known as the Shakeout Phase, occurs when dominant market players intentionally move the price to trigger stop-loss orders and create panic among less-informed traders. This action generates liquidity and better entry prices for large positions.
Characteristics
- False Breakouts: The price moves above the previous high or below the previous low but quickly reverses.
- Increased Volatility: Sharp price movements occur without fundamental reasons.
- Stop-Loss Hunting: The price targets common stop-loss areas, triggering them before reversing.
- Emotional Trading: Retail traders may react impulsively, leading to poor trading decisions.
Detection with ADM Indicator
- Manipulation Up:
- Criteria: Detected when the price rises above the previous high and then falls back below it.
- Indicator Action: Places a label "Manipulation Up" on the chart at the point of detection.
- Manipulation Down:
- Criteria: Detected when the price falls below the previous low and then rises back above it.
- Indicator Action: Places a label "Manipulation Down" on the chart at the point of detection.
- Visual Cues:
- Manipulation Up: Blue background highlights the phase.
- Manipulation Down: Orange background highlights the phase.
Implications for Traders
- Caution Advised: Be wary of false signals and avoid overreacting to sudden price changes.
- Preparation for Next Phase: Use this phase to anticipate potential distribution and adjust strategies accordingly.
3. Distribution Phase
Definition
The Distribution Phase occurs when the institutions or informed investors who accumulated positions start selling to the general market at higher prices. This phase often follows a Manipulation Phase and may signal an impending trend reversal.
Characteristics
- Price Reversal: The price moves in the opposite direction of the prior manipulation.
- High Trading Volume: Increased selling activity as large players offload positions.
- Trend Weakening: The previous trend loses momentum, indicating a potential shift.
- Market Sentiment Shift: Optimism fades, and uncertainty or pessimism may emerge.
Detection with ADM Indicator
- Distribution Up:
- Criteria: Detected after a verified Manipulation Up when the price subsequently falls below the previous low.
- Indicator Action: Places a label "Distribution Up" on the chart.
- Distribution Down:
- Criteria: Detected after a verified Manipulation Down when the price subsequently rises above the previous high.
- Indicator Action: Places a label "Distribution Down" on the chart.
- Visual Cues:
- Distribution Up: Purple background highlights the phase.
- Distribution Down: Maroon background highlights the phase.
Implications for Traders
- Exit Signals: Consider closing long positions if in a Distribution Up phase.
- Short Selling Opportunities: Potential to enter short positions anticipating a downtrend.

Gabriel's Relative Unrealized Profit with Dynamic MVRV Histogram
Certainly! Here’s an enhanced description of the Gabriel's Relative Unrealized Profit with Dynamic MVRV Histogram indicator with detailed usage instructions and explanations of why it's effective:
Gabriel's Relative Unrealized Profit with Dynamic MVRV Histogram
Description:
The Gabriel's Relative Unrealized Profit with Dynamic MVRV Histogram is an advanced trading indicator designed to offer in-depth insights into asset profitability and market valuation. By integrating Relative Unrealized Profit (RUP) and the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio, this indicator provides a nuanced view of an asset's performance and potential trading signals.
Key Components:
SMA Length and Volume Indicator:
SMA Length: Defines the period for the Simple Moving Average (SMA) used to calculate the entry price, defaulted to 14 periods. This smoothing technique helps estimate the average historical price at which the asset was acquired.
Volume Indicator: Allows selection between "volume" and "vwap" (Volume-Weighted Average Price) for calculating entry volume. The choice impacts the calculation of entry volume, either based on standard trading volume or a weighted average price.
Realized Price Calculation:
Computes the average price over a specified period (default of 30 periods) to establish the realized price. This serves as a benchmark for evaluating the cost basis of the asset.
MVRV Calculation:
Current Price: The most recent closing price of the asset, representing its market value.
Total Cost: Calculated as the product of the entry price and entry volume, reflecting the total investment made.
Unrealized Profit: The difference between the current price and the entry price, multiplied by entry volume, indicating profit or loss that has yet to be realized.
Relative Unrealized Profit: Expressed as a percentage of the total cost, showing how much profit or loss exists relative to the initial investment.
Market Value and Realized Value: Market Value is the current price multiplied by entry volume, while Realized Value is the realized price multiplied by entry volume. The MVRV Ratio is obtained by dividing Market Value by Realized Value.
Normalization:
Normalizes both Relative Unrealized Profit and MVRV Ratio to a standardized range of -100 to 100. This involves calculating the minimum and maximum values over a 100-period window to ensure comparability and relevance.
Histogram Calculation:
The histogram is derived from the difference between the normalized Relative Unrealized Profit and the normalized MVRV Ratio. It visually represents the disparity between the two metrics, highlighting potential trading signals.
Plotting and Alerts:
Plots:
Normalized Relative Unrealized Profit (Blue Line): Plotted in blue, this line shows the scaled measure of unrealized profit. Positive values indicate potential gains, while negative values suggest potential losses.
Normalized MVRV Ratio (Red Line): Plotted in red, this line represents the scaled MVRV Ratio. Higher values suggest that the asset’s market value significantly exceeds its realized value, indicating potential overvaluation, while lower values suggest potential undervaluation.
Histogram (Green Bars): Plotted in green, this histogram displays the difference between the normalized Relative Unrealized Profit and the normalized MVRV Ratio. Positive bars indicate that the asset’s profitability is exceeding its market valuation, while negative bars suggest the opposite.
Alerts:
High Histogram Alert: Activated when the histogram value exceeds 50. This condition signals a strong positive divergence, indicating that the asset's profitability is outperforming its market valuation. It may suggest a buying opportunity or indicate that the asset is undervalued relative to its potential profitability.
Low Histogram Alert: Triggered when the histogram value falls below -50. This condition signals a strong negative divergence, indicating that the asset's profitability is lagging behind its market valuation. It may suggest a selling opportunity or indicate that the asset is overvalued relative to its profitability.
How to Use the Indicator:
Setup: Customize the SMA Length, Volume Indicator, and Realized Price Length based on your trading strategy and asset volatility. These parameters allow you to tailor the indicator to different market conditions and asset types.
Interpretation:
Blue Line (Normalized Relative Unrealized Profit): Monitor this line to gauge the profitability of holding the asset. Significant positive values suggest that the asset is currently in a profitable position relative to its purchase price.
Red Line (Normalized MVRV Ratio): Use this line to assess whether the asset is trading at a premium or discount relative to its cost basis. Higher values may indicate overvaluation, while lower values suggest undervaluation.
Green Bars (Histogram): Observe the histogram for deviations between RUP and MVRV Ratio. Large positive bars indicate that the asset's profitability is strong relative to its valuation, signaling potential buying opportunities. Large negative bars suggest that the asset's profitability is weak relative to its valuation, signaling potential selling opportunities.
Trading Strategy:
Bullish Conditions: When the histogram shows large positive values, it suggests that the asset’s profitability is strong compared to its valuation. Consider this as a potential buying signal, especially if the histogram remains consistently positive.
Bearish Conditions: When the histogram displays large negative values, it indicates that the asset’s profitability is weak compared to its valuation. This may signal a potential selling opportunity or caution, particularly if the histogram remains consistently negative.
Why This Indicator is Effective:
Integrated Metrics: Combining Relative Unrealized Profit and MVRV Ratio provides a comprehensive view of asset performance. This integration allows traders to evaluate both profitability and market valuation in one cohesive tool.
VITAMIN: Volume Insight Trend Analyzer - Multilayered INdicator)Meet VITAMIN, an indicator created mainly to function as a confirmation volume indicator to integrate into strategies as a signal filter, but it can also be used as a general-purpose indicator to enhance market analysis through volume trend insights.
The name was choses to help with recall, with VITAMIN short for "Volume Insight Trend Analyzer - Multilayered INdicator".
The indicator is grounded in the net volume calculation, using TradingView's built-in Net Volume indicator as a starting point, and taking as a series of simple Moving Averages based on the Net Volume data.
Core Features:
Multilayered Analysis: VITAMIN layers multiple moving averages on top of net volume—volume adjusted for price movement direction—to filter market noise and reveal clearer volume trends.
Foundation in Net Volume: The starting point is net volume, which combines volume magnitude with the direction of price changes, offering a baseline for momentum analysis.
Visual Trend Indicators: The indicator uses green and red shading between its moving average layers and a reference zero line to visually denote bullish (green) and bearish (red) volume trends, simplifying the interpretation of market sentiment.
Utility of VITAMIN:
Volume plays a crucial role in market analysis, but interpreting volume directly can be complex due to inherent market noise. Net Volume in particular features a great deal of noise, as a sequence of spikes and dips from bar to bar. My purpose with this indicator was to separate the signal from the noise. VITAMIN's multilayered moving averages provide a smoother, more interpretable trend line that distinguishes significant market moves from short-term fluctuations.
Applications:
Confirming Trends: VITAMIN can help validate price trends. A price uptrend paired with a bullish volume trend indicated by VITAMIN may reinforce the strength of the movement.
Identifying Divergences: Observing discrepancies between price trends and VITAMIN's volume trends can highlight potential reversals or continuations.
Assessing Market Sentiment: The overall trend and colour shading within VITAMIN aims to provide insight into market sentiment.
VITAMIN is designed for simplicity and effectiveness, aiming to provide deeper insights into volume trends, supporting more informed decisions.
Like any indicator featuring moving averages, and averages of those averages, there is a built-in lag to this indicator, but this is the trade-off for removing noise from the signal. Adjust the user inputs to suit your time frame.
Moving Average of Volume for Up and Down ClosesThis indicator is intended to provide market bias information at a glance. Depending on the number of periods selected it can help identify changes in buying and selling sentiment or overall market bias. The two lines indicate increases and decreases in volumes for the selected number of periods. I recommend using this indicator with a minimum of clear support and resistance lines and a standard volume indicator. It does provided useful information as a stand-alone indicator. I don't use any indicators except volume, so this was meant to be my own personal volume analysis tool, however I feel that it can be very useful for other traders who may not have a deep understanding of volume analysis.

CVD Ichimoku(s)ENGLISH
What is this indicator?
This is a combination of two indicators: the CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta Candles published by TradingView (version v3 2022.07.11) with two Ichimoku clouds: one for the current time frame and another for a bigger time frame.
The user of the indicator can define that bigger time frame with a multiplier. By default it multiplies x6 the current TF (for example, if you watch at the 1 hour time frame the second kumo belongs to 6 hour TF).
Additionaly, an orange line replicates the senko span A without displacement. It is extra layer of visual information that can be hidded from settings.
How it should be used?
Delta Volume indicators can be hard to read. This format gives the trader an overview of where the agressive buyers/sellers are in relation to past market orders. And relative to price if used in combination with the classic Ichimoku indicator on price. I recommend to use it as a support for your ideas applying Ichimoku's calculations deep knowledge.
CATALÀ*
Què és aquest indicador?
És una combinació de dos indicadors: el CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta Candles publicat per TradingView (versió v3 2022.07.11) amb dos Ichimoku clouds: on pel time frame actual i un altre per un time frame superior.
L'usuari de l'indicador pot definir aquest time frame superior mitjançant un multiplicador. Per defecte multiplica x6 el TF actual (per exemple, si uses l'indicador al time frame d'1 hora, el segon kumo correspondrà al TF de 6 hores).
Adicionalment hi ha una línia taronja que replica el senko span A sense desplaçament. És una capa extra d'informació visual que pot ser amagada des de la configuració.
Com s'ha de fer servir?
Els indicadors de Delta Volume poden ser difícils de llegir. Aquest format dona al tradejador una visió global d'on són els compradors/venedors agressius en relació al mercat d'ordres passat. I relatiu al preu en combinació amb el clàssic indicdor Ichimoku sobre preu. Recomano usar-lo com a suport per les teves idees aplicant un profund coneixement dels càlculs d'Ichimoku.

[2022]Volume Flow v3 with alertsIndicators are an essential part of technical analysis of cryptocurrency. Their main function is to predict market direction based on historic price, cryptocurrency volume and other information. There are several types of crypto indicators illustrating various parameters (trend, volatility, volume, momentum, etc.) but in this article we will look at volume indicators.
Volume indicators demonstrate changing of trading volume over time. This information is very useful as crypto trading volume displays how strong the current trend is. For example, if the price goes up and the volume is high then the trend is strong and will more likely last longer. There are various volume indicators, but we’ll talk about the most popular ones, such as:
On Balance Volume
Accumulation/Distribution Line
Money Flow Index
Chaikin Oscillator
Chaikin Money Flow
Ease of Movement
Overbought & Oversold TrackerAbout this indicator:
- This indicator is basically a stochastic indicator that shows to you the crossover in an Overbought or Oversold area DIRECTLY on the chart
How does it works:
- When Stochastic crosses at Oversold area, a Blue Triangle will appear below the candle with a Blue Dotted Line at the low of the current candle
- The Blue Triangle is to help you to see easily the candle where the crossover is occurring
- At the same time, the Blue Dotted Line will act as a minor Support for the current price
- If the current candle breaks the Blue Dotted Line (minor Support), the candle will be displayed in a red color
- Same things will occur if Stochastic crosses at the Overbought area, but at this time, a Red Triangle with Red Dotted Line will appear just to differentiate between Overbought and Oversold crossover
The advantage of using this indicator:
- You can easily see the point of stochastic crossover DIRECTLY on the chart without analyzing the stochastic indicator
- At the same time, it helps you to see clearly either the price is at the bottom / reversal by combining it with S&R / trendlines or other indicators
Personally, I will combine this indicator with:
a. Support and Resistance or Trendlines
b. Fibonacci retracement
c. Candlestick indicator (see my script list)
d. Ultimate MACD (see my script list)
e. Volume indicator
These combinations personally increase the possibility for me to buy exactly at the point of reversal in a pullback
- This indicator is preset at the value of 25 (oversold) and 75 (overbought) k line, it's my own preference. You can change these values at the setting menu to suit your trading style.
- Once again, I am opening the script for anyone to modify/alter it based on you own preference. Have a good day!
+ Rate of ChangeNOTE!* If you were using my previous + Rate of Change (and OBV) indicator, I will not be updating that. OBV was moved to my + Breadth & Volume indicator.
This indicator here is basically and updated version of the old indicator, without OBV.
The Rate of Change, or RoC, is a momentum indicator that measures the percentage change in price between the current period and the price n periods ago.
It oscillates above and below a zeroline, basically showing positive or negative momentum.
I applied the OBV's calculation to it, but without the inclusion of volume (also added a lookback period) to see what would happen. I rather liked the result.
I call this the "Cumulative Rate of Change." I only recently realized that this is actually just the OBV without volume, however the OBV does not have a lookback period, and this indicator does.
Doing some more fiddling, I realized that removing both the signum and the volume from the calculation gets you basically a price chart, but calculated as the change in price over n periods. I'm leaving this in because maybe someone discovers they really like having a line chart with moving averages or some other indicator on it to leave their main chart indicator free (giving a more clear look at price action). Can't hurt, right?
Default lookback is set to 1, but play with longer settings (especially if using the traditional RoC, which is by default in TV set to 10, and is nigh on useless at 1--I like 13).
Default source is set to each candle close, but give ohlc4 a look. It smooths out the indicator a bit, and because it's an average of the open, high, low, and close it should give a better idea of what price in general is doing.
Moving averages, Bollinger Bands, Donchian Channels, candle coloring and alerts are my usual additions.
Below are some comparison images of the different indicators wrapped up in here.

ADR / ATR Example:
The ADR and ATR can be used to provide information about average price moves to help set targets, stop losses, entries and exits based on the potential average moves.
Example: If the "% of ADR" is reading 100%, then 100% of the asset's average price range has been covered, suggesting that an additional move beyond the range has a lower probability.
Example: "ADR % of Price" provides potential price movement in percentage which can be used to asses R/R for asset.
Example: ADR (D) reading is 100% at market close but ATR (D) is at 70% at close. This suggests that there is a potential (coverage) move of 30% in Pre/Post market as suggested by averages.
Custom Volume Session Example:
Set indicator to 30 period average. Set custom time frame to 9:30am to 10:30am Eastern/New York.
When the time frame for the calculation is closed, the indicator will provide a comparison of the current days volume compared to the average of 30 previous days for that same time frame and display it as a percentage in the table.
In this example you could compare how the first hour of the trading day compares to the previous 30 day's average, aiding in evaluating the potential volume for the remainder of the day.
Notes:
Times must be entered in 24 hour format. (1pm = 13:00 etc.)
Volume indicator is for Intra-day time frames, not > Day.
How I use these values:
I use these calculations to determine if a ticker symbol has the necessary range to achieve target gains, to determine if the price oscillation is within "normal" ranges to determine if the trading day will be choppy, and to determine placement of stops and targets within average ranges in combination with support, resistance and retracement levels.

Volume Trend Signals | iSolani: Syncing Price Momentum with Volume Confirmation
In the dance between price action and volume, discerning true trend commitment requires seeing how institutional players vote with their capital. The Volume Trend Signals | iSolani illuminates this interplay by generating precise crossover signals when volume-accelerated price movements gain sustained traction. Unlike conventional volume oscillators, it employs a two-layered confirmation system —blending volatility-adjusted thresholds with adaptive smoothing—to spotlight high-probability entries aligned with smart-money activity.
Core Methodology
The indicator executes a five-phase process to filter meaningful trends:
Logarithmic Price Scaling: Measures percentage-based price changes via HLC3 typical price, reducing large-value bias in volatile markets.
Volatility Dynamic Filter: Uses a 30-bar standard deviation of price changes, scaled by user sensitivity (default 2x), to set momentum thresholds.
Volume Governance: Caps raw volume at 3x its 40-bar SMA, neutralizing outlier spikes while preserving institutional footprints.
Directional Flow Accumulation: Sums volume as positive/negative based on whether price movement breaches volatility-derived boundaries.
Signal Refinement: Smooths the Volume Flow Indicator (VFI) with a 3-bar SMA, then triggers alerts via crosses over a 20-bar EMA signal line.
Breaking New Ground
This tool introduces three evolutionary improvements over traditional volume indicators:
EMA Convergence Signals: Unlike basic zero-cross systems, it requires VFI to overtake its own EMA, confirming sustained momentum shifts.
Context-Aware Volume: The 3x volume cap adapts to current market activity, preventing false signals during news-driven liquidity spikes.
Minimalist Visual Alerts: Uses and symbols below/above candles, reducing chart clutter while emphasizing pivotal moments.
Engine Under the Hood
The script’s logic flows through four computational stages:
Data Conditioning: Computes HLC3 and its log-based rate of change for normalized price analysis.
Threshold Calibration: Derives dynamic entry/exit levels from 30-period volatility multiplied by user sensitivity.
Volume Processing: Filters and signs volume based on price meeting threshold criteria.
Signal Generation: Triggers buy/sell labels when the 3-bar SMA of cumulative flow crosses the 20-bar EMA.
Standard Configuration
Optimized defaults balance responsiveness and reliability:
VFI Length: 40-bar accumulation window
Sensitivity: 2.0 (double the volatility-derived threshold)
Signal Smoothing: 20-bar EMA
Volume Cap: 3x average (hidden parameter)
Smoothing: Enabled (3-bar SMA on VFI)
By fusing adaptive volume filtering with EMA-confirmed momentum, the Volume Trend Signals | iSolani cuts through market noise to reveal institutional-grade trend inflection points. Its unique crossover logic—prioritizing confirmation over speed—makes it particularly effective in swing trading and trend-following strategies across equities, commodities, and forex markets.
Enhanced Local Polynomial Regression [Yosiet]Local Polynomial Regression (LPR) is an advanced statistical method that offers a flexible approach to estimating the underlying trend in financial time series data.
The Mathematical Explanation
The core idea of LPR is to fit a polynomial of degree p at each point x using weighted least squares. The weight of each data point decreases with its distance from x, controlled by a kernel function and a bandwidth parameter.
The general form of the local polynomial estimator is:
β̂(x) = argmin Σ K((Xi - x) / h) (Yi - β0 - β1(Xi - x) - ... - βp(Xi - x)^p)^2
Where:
β̂(x) is the vector of estimated coefficients
K is the kernel function
h is the bandwidth
Xi and Yi are the predictor and response variables
p is the degree of the polynomial
Our implementation uses the Epanechnikov kernel:
K(u) = 3/4 * (1 - u^2) for |u| ≤ 1, 0 otherwise
The Implementation
This script implements LPR for the easier way to interpret its values with the following key components:
Input Parameters: Can adjust the lookback period, bandwidth, and polynomial degree.
Kernel Function: The Epanechnikov kernel is used for weighting.
LPR Function: Implements the core algorithm using matrix operations.
Signal Generation: Generates buy/sell signals based on crossovers of smoothed price and LPR results.
How to Use
Apply the indicator to your chart in TradingView.
Adjust the input parameters:
Lookback Period: Controls how many past bars are considered.
Bandwidth: Affects the smoothness of the regression line.
Polynomial Degree: Determines the complexity of the local fit.
Signal Smoothing Length: Adjusts the responsiveness of buy/sell signals.
Monitor buy/sell signals for potential trade entries.
Limitations
Sensitivity to Parameters: The choice of bandwidth and polynomial degree significantly impacts the results.
Lag: Like all trend-following indicators, LPR may lag behind rapid price movements.
Edge Effects: The indicator may be less reliable at the edges of the data (recent bars).
Recommendations
Parameter Optimization: Experiment with different lookback periods, bandwidths, and polynomial degrees to find the best fit for your trading style and timeframe.
Combine with Other Indicators: Use LPR in conjunction with momentum oscillators or volume indicators for confirmation.
Multiple Timeframes: Apply LPR on different timeframes to gain a more comprehensive view of the trend.
Avoid Overfitting: Be cautious of using high polynomial degrees, as they may lead to overfitting on historical data.
Consider Market Conditions: LPR works best in trending markets; be aware of its limitations in ranging or highly volatile conditions.
Backtest Thoroughly: Always backtest strategies based on LPR across different market conditions before live trading.
Conclusion
Local Polynomial Regression offers a sophisticated approach to trend analysis in financial markets. By providing a flexible, adaptive trend line, it can help traders identify potential entry and exit points with greater precision than traditional moving averages. However, like all technical indicators, it should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy that includes proper risk management and consideration of fundamental factors.

Movement based on Buying/Selling VolumeDescription:
The "Buying Selling Volume" indicator calculates buying and selling volumes based on price movements within a specified lookback period. It then computes exponential moving averages (EMAs) of these volumes to determine trend direction. The indicator visually represents trend direction on the chart.
Volume Calculation and Normalization (Lines #1 - #12):
The indicator first computes the buying volume (BV) and selling volume (SV) based on price movements within the specified lookback period. These volumes are calculated proportionally to the distance between the closing price and the high and low of each candle.
To ensure consistent behavior and prevent division by zero, the volumes are normalized using a conditional statement to handle cases where the high and low are equal, which implies a lack of price movement.
Additionally, the volume (vol) is normalized to ensure non-zero division in subsequent calculations.
Total Volume and Proportional Volume Calculation (Lines #13 - #20):
The total volume (TP) is computed by summing the buying and selling volumes.
The proportional buying volume (BPV) and selling volume (SPV) are then calculated based on their respective contributions to the total volume.
These proportional volumes are scaled by the total volume to ensure accurate representation relative to market activity.
Evaluating Buying and Selling Pressure (Lines #21 - #24):
The code segment assigns positive or negative values to represent buying and selling pressure, respectively, based on the comparison between BPV and SPV. This step involves determining whether the buying pressure exceeds the selling pressure or vice versa.
The calculated values, denoted as BPc1 and SPc1, encapsulate the relative strength of buying and selling forces within the market.
EMA Calculation and Trend Identification (Lines #25 - #32):
The BPc1 and SPc1 values are subjected to exponential moving average (EMA) calculations using the specified lookback period (LookbackL). This process involves smoothing out the buying and selling pressure data to reveal underlying trends.
The resulting EMAs, represented by ema1B and ema1S, serve as crucial indicators of trend direction. A bullish trend is indicated when ema1B exceeds ema1S, while a bearish trend is signaled when ema1B falls below ema1S.
Secondary Volume Analysis and Trend Confirmation (Lines #33 - #42):
A similar volume analysis and EMA calculation process is repeated in this segment, using a different lookback period (LookbackL2). This allows for a secondary assessment of market dynamics and trend direction.
The resulting EMAs, denoted as ema1B2 and ema1S2, are compared to validate the trend direction identified in the primary analysis.
Visual Representation and Trend Display (Lines #43 - #46):
Finally, the indicator visualizes the identified trends on the chart by plotting colored shapes based on the comparison between the primary and secondary trend directions.
A green color indicates alignment in bullish trends, a red color signifies alignment in bearish trends, while a neutral color (gray) represents no clear consensus between the primary and secondary analyses.
Ideal Usage:
1. **Trend Confirmation:** Traders can use this indicator to confirm trend direction before entering trades.
2. **Reversal Signals:** Changes in trend direction, indicated by shifts in plotted shape colors, can signal potential market reversals.
Warnings:
1. **False Signals:** Like any technical indicator, false signals may occur, especially during low-volume or choppy market conditions. Additional analysis and risk management techniques are essential to mitigate potential losses.
2. **Parameter Sensitivity:** Adjusting lookback periods can impact the indicator's sensitivity to price movements. Traders should test different parameter settings and consider market conditions when using the indicator.
