TASC 2025.05 Trading The Channel█ OVERVIEW
This script implements channel-based trading strategies based on the concepts explained by Perry J. Kaufman in the article "A Test Of Three Approaches: Trading The Channel" from the May 2025 edition of TASC's Traders' Tips . The script explores three distinct trading methods for equities and futures using information from a linear regression channel. Each rule set corresponds to different market behaviors, offering flexibility for trend-following, breakout, and mean-reversion trading styles.
█ CONCEPTS
Linear regression
Linear regression is a model that estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables by fitting a straight line to the observed data. In the context of financial time series, traders often use linear regression to estimate trends in price movements over time.
The slope of the linear regression line indicates the strength and direction of the price trend. For example, a larger positive slope indicates a stronger upward trend, and a larger negative slope indicates the opposite. Traders can look for shifts in the direction of a linear regression slope to identify potential trend trading signals, and they can analyze the magnitude of the slope to support trading decisions.
One caveat to linear regression is that most financial time series data does not follow a straight line, meaning a regression line cannot perfectly describe the relationships between values. Prices typically fluctuate around a regression line to some degree. As such, analysts often project ranges above and below regression lines, creating channels to model the expected extent of the data's variability. This strategy constructs a channel based on the method used in Kaufman's article. It measures the maximum distances from points on the linear regression line to historical price values, then adds those distances and the current slope to the regression points.
Depending on the trading style, traders might look for prices to move outside an established channel for breakout signals, or they might look for price action to reach extremes within the channel for potential mean reversion opportunities.
█ STRATEGY CALCULATIONS
Primary trade rules
This strategy implements three distinct sets of rules for trend, breakout, and mean-reversion trades based on the methods Kaufman describes in his article:
Trade the trend (Rule 1) : Open new positions when the sign of the slope changes, indicating a potential trend reversal. Close short trades and enter a long trade when the slope changes from negative to positive, and do the opposite when the slope changes from positive to negative.
Trade channel breakouts (Rule 2) : Open new positions when prices cross outside the linear regression channel for the current sample. Close short trades and enter a long trade when the price moves above the channel, and do the opposite when the price moves below the channel.
Trade within the channel (Rule 3) : Open new positions based on price values within the channel's range. Close short trades and enter a long trade when the price is near the channel's low, within a specified percentage of the channel's range, and do the opposite when the price is near the channel's high. With this rule, users can also filter the trades based on the channel's slope. When the filter is active, long positions are allowed only when the slope is positive, and short positions are allowed only when it is negative.
Position sizing
Kaufman's strategy uses specific trade sizes for equities and futures markets:
For an equities symbol, the number of shares traded is $10,000 divided by the current price.
For a futures symbol, the number of contracts traded is based on a volatility-adjusted formula that divides $25,000 by the product of the 20-bar average true range and the instrument's point value.
By default, this script automatically uses these sizes for its trade simulation on equities and futures symbols and does not simulate trading on other symbols. However, users can control position sizes from the "Settings/Properties" tab and enable trade simulation on other symbol types by selecting the "Manual" option in the script's "Position sizing" input.
Stop-loss
This strategy includes the option to place an accompanying stop-loss order for each trade, which users can enable from the "SL %" input in the "Settings/Inputs" tab. When enabled, the strategy places a stop-loss order at a specified percentage distance from the closing price where the entry order occurs, allowing users to compare how the strategy performs with added loss protection.
█ USAGE
This strategy adapts its display logic for the three trading approaches based on the rule selected in the "Trade rule" input:
For all rules, the script plots the linear regression slope in a separate pane. The plot is color-coded to indicate whether the current slope is positive or negative.
When the selected rule is "Trade the trend", the script plots triangles in the separate pane to indicate when the slope's direction changes from positive to negative or vice versa. Additionally, it plots a color-coded SMA on the main chart pane, allowing visual comparison of the slope to directional changes in a moving average.
When the rule is "Trade channel breakouts" or "Trade within the channel", the script draws the current period's linear regression channel on the main chart pane, and it plots bands representing the history of the channel values from the specified start time onward.
When the rule is "Trade within the channel", the script plots overbought and oversold zones between the bands based on a user-specified percentage of the channel range to indicate the value ranges where new trades are allowed.
Users can customize the strategy's calculations with the following additional inputs in the "Settings/Inputs" tab:
Start date : Sets the date and time when the strategy begins simulating trades. The script marks the specified point on the chart with a gray vertical line. The plots for rules 2 and 3 display the bands and trading zones from this point onward.
Period : Specifies the number of bars in the linear regression channel calculation. The default is 40.
Linreg source : Specifies the source series from which to calculate the linear regression values. The default is "close".
Range source : Specifies whether the script uses the distances from the linear regression line to closing prices or high and low prices to determine the channel's upper and lower ranges for rules 2 and 3. The default is "close".
Zone % : The percentage of the channel's overall range to use for trading zones with rule 3. The default is 20, meaning the width of the upper and lower zones is 20% of the range.
SL% : If the checkbox is selected, the strategy adds a stop-loss to each trade at the specified percentage distance away from the closing price where the entry order occurs. The checkbox is deselected by default, and the default percentage value is 5.
Position sizing : Determines whether the strategy uses Kaufman's predefined trade sizes ("Auto") or allows user-defined sizes from the "Settings/Properties" tab ("Manual"). The default is "Auto".
Long trades only : If selected, the strategy does not allow short positions. It is deselected by default.
Trend filter : If selected, the strategy filters positions for rule 3 based on the linear regression slope, allowing long positions only when the slope is positive and short positions only when the slope is negative. It is deselected by default.
NOTE: Because of this strategy's trading rules, the simulated results for a specific symbol or channel configuration might have significantly fewer than 100 trades. For meaningful results, we recommend adjusting the start date and other parameters to achieve a reasonable number of closed trades for analysis.
Additionally, this strategy does not specify commission and slippage amounts by default, because these values can vary across market types. Therefore, we recommend setting realistic values for these properties in the "Cost simulation" section of the "Settings/Properties" tab.

Fractal Wave MarkerFractal Wave Marker is an indicator that processes relative extremes of fluctuating prices within 2 periodical aspects. The special labeling system detects and visually marks multi-scale turning points, letting you visualize fractal echoes within unfolding cycles dynamically.
What This Indicator Does
Identifies major and minor swing highs/lows based on adjustable period.
Uses Phi in power exponent to compute a higher-degree swing filter.
Labels of higher degree appear only after confirmed base swings — no phantom levels, no hindsight bias. What you see is what the market has validated.
Swing points unfold in a structured, alternating rhythm . No two consecutive pivots share the same hierarchical degree!
Inspired by the Fractal Market Hypothesis, this script visualizes the principle that market behavior repeats across time scales, revealing structured narrative of "random walk". This inherent sequencing ensures fractal consistency across timeframes. "Fractal echoes" demonstrate how smaller price swings can proportionally mirror larger ones in both structure and timing, allowing traders to anticipate movements by recursive patterns. Cycle Transitions highlight critical inflection points where minor pivots flip polarity such as a series of lower highs progress into higher highs—signaling the birth of a new macro trend. A dense dense clusters of swing points can indicate Liquidity Zones, acting as footprints of institutional accumulation or distribution where price action validates supply and demand imbalances.
Visualization of nested cycles within macro trend anchors - a main feature specifically designed for the chartists who prioritize working with complex wave oscillations their analysis.

Why use this script?
Gives a full view of trend + momentum without cluttering the main price chart, and it helps confirm entries and exits by observing RSI behavior alongside EMAs. The optional divergence detection can act as a signal for potential exhaustion or reversal (not entry signals on their own). It is a Good fit for traders who use RSI zones, divergences, and EMA structure in their decision-making, both for intra-day and swing trades (where it performs best).
How to use
Add this script to your chart. EMAs will appear on the main price chart; RSI and divergence will appear in a separate pane.
Adjust RSI and MA settings to fit your trading style (e.g., fast RSI for scalping, slower for swing)
Enable "Show Divergence" if you want visual alerts and markers
Use alerts to get notified when a divergence occurs without watching the chart
Always check the divergences on different time frames to validate the setup, and do not consider them valid on small time frames (<15 minutes).
Built for traders who want both momentum and trend context in a single tool — without clutter, repainting, or noise. I created this script to streamline my own analysis and avoid switching between multiple indicators. It's not meant to be a "signal generator" but a visual assistant for making better decisions.

Scalper's Fractal Cloud with RSI + VWAP + MACD (Fixed)Scalper’s Fractal Confluence Dashboard
1. Purpose of the Indicator
This TradingView indicator script provides a high-confluence setup for scalping and day trading. It blends momentum indicators (RSI, MACD), trend bias tools (EMA Cloud, VWAP), and structure (fractal swings, gap zones) to help confirm precise entries and exits.
2. Components of the Indicator
- EMA Cloud (50 & 200 EMA): Trend bias – green means bullish, red means bearish. Avoid longs under red cloud.
- VWAP: Institutional volume anchor. Ideal entries are pullbacks to VWAP in direction of trend.
- Gap Zones: Shows open-air zones (white space) where price can move fast. Used to anticipate momentum moves.
- ZigZag Swings: Marks structural pivots (highs/lows) – useful for stop placement and range anticipation.
- MACD Histogram: Shows bullish or bearish momentum via background color.
- RSI: Overbought (>70) or oversold (<30) warnings. Good for exits or countertrend reversion plays.
- EMA Spread Label: Quick view of momentum strength. Wide spread = strong trend.
3. Scalping Entry Checklist
Before entering a trade, confirm these conditions:
• • Bias: EMA cloud color supports trade direction
• • Price is above/below VWAP (confirming institutional flow)
• • MACD histogram matches direction (green for long, red for short)
• • RSI not at extreme (unless you’re fading trend)
• • If entering gap zone, expect fast move
• • Recent swing high/low nearby for target or stop
4. Risk & Sizing Guidelines
Risk 1–2% of account per trade. Place stop below recent swing low (for longs) or high (for shorts). Use fractional sizing near VWAP or white space zones for scalping reversals.

Leavitt Convolution ProbabilityTechnical Analysis of Markets with Leavitt Market Projections and Associated Convolution Probability
The aim of this study is to present an innovative approach to market analysis based on the research "Leavitt Market Projections." This technical tool combines one indicator and a probability function to enhance the accuracy and speed of market forecasts.
Key Features
Advanced Indicators : the script includes the Convolution line and a probability oscillator, designed to anticipate market changes. These indicators provide timely signals and offer a clear view of price dynamics.
Convolution Probability Function : The Convolution Probability (CP) is a key element of the script. A significant increase in this probability often precedes a market decline, while a decrease in probability can signal a bullish move. The Convolution Probability Function:
At each bar, i, the linear regression routine finds the two parameters for the straight line: y=mix+bi.
Standard deviations can be calculated from the sequence of slopes, {mi}, and intercepts, {bi}.
Each standard deviation has a corresponding probability.
Their adjusted product is the Convolution Probability, CP. The construction of the Convolution Probability is straightforward. The adjusted product is the probability of one times 1− the probability of the other.
Customizable Settings : Users can define oversold and overbought levels, as well as set an offset for the linear regression calculation. These options allow for tailoring the script to individual trading strategies and market conditions.
Statistical Analysis : Each analyzed bar generates regression parameters that allow for the calculation of standard deviations and associated probabilities, providing an in-depth view of market dynamics.
The results from applying this technical tool show increased accuracy and speed in market forecasts. The combination of Convolution indicator and the probability function enables the identification of turning points and the anticipation of market changes.
Additional information:
Leavitt, in his study, considers the SPY chart.
When the Convolution Probability (CP) is high, it indicates that the probability P1 (related to the slope) is high, and conversely, when CP is low, P1 is low and P2 is high.
For the calculation of probability, an approximate formula of the Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) has been used, which is given by: CDF(x)=21(1+erf(σ2x−μ)) where μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.
For the calculation of probability, the formula used in this script is: 0.5 * (1 + (math.sign(zSlope) * math.sqrt(1 - math.exp(-0.5 * zSlope * zSlope))))
Conclusions
This study presents the approach to market analysis based on the research "Leavitt Market Projections." The script combines Convolution indicator and a Probability function to provide more precise trading signals. The results demonstrate greater accuracy and speed in market forecasts, making this technical tool a valuable asset for market participants.
OverUnder Yield Spread🗺️ OverUnder is a structural regime visualizer , engineered to diagnose the shape, tone, and trajectory of the yield curve. Rather than signaling trades directly, it informs traders of the world they’re operating in. Yield curve steepening or flattening, normalizing or inverting — each regime reflects a macro pressure zone that impacts duration demand, liquidity conditions, and systemic risk appetite. OverUnder abstracts that complexity into a color-coded compression map, helping traders orient themselves before making risk decisions. Whether you’re in bonds, currencies, crypto, or equities, the regime matters — and OverUnder makes it visible.
🧠 Core Logic
Built to show the slope and intent of a selected rate pair, the OverUnder Yield Spread defaults to 🇺🇸US10Y-US2Y, but can just as easily compare global sovereign curves or even dislocated monetary systems. This value is continuously monitored and passed through a debounce filter to determine whether the curve is:
• Inverted, or
• Steepening
If the curve is flattening below zero: the world is bracing for contraction. Policy lags. Risk appetite deteriorates. Duration gets bid, but only as protection. Stocks and speculative assets suffer, regardless of positioning.
📍 Curve Regimes in Bull and Bear Contexts
• Flattening occurs when the short and long ends compress . In a bull regime, flattening may reflect long-end demand or fading growth expectations. In a bear regime, flattening often precedes or confirms central bank tightening.
• Steepening indicates expanding spread . In a bull context, this may signal healthy risk appetite or early expansion. In a bear or crisis context, it may reflect aggressive front-end cuts and dislocation between short- and long-term expectations.
• If the curve is steepening above zero: the world is rotating into early expansion. Risk assets behave constructively. Bond traders position for normalization. Equities and crypto begin trending higher on rising forward expectations.
🖐️ Dynamically Colored Spread Line Reflects 1 of 4 Regime States
• 🟢 Normal / Steepening — early expansion or reflation
• 🔵 Normal / Flattening — late-cycle or neutral slowdown
• 🟠 Inverted / Steepening — policy reversal or soft landing attempt
• 🔴 Inverted / Flattening — hard contraction, credit stress, policy lag
🍋 The Lemon Label
At every bar, an anchored label floats directly on the spread line. It displays the active regime (in plain English) and the precise spread in percent (or basis points, depending on resolution). Colored lemon yellow, neither green nor red, the label is always legible — a design choice to de-emphasize bias and center the data .
🎨 Fill Zones
These bands offer spatial, persistent views of macro compression or inversion depth.
• Blue fill appears above the zero line in normal (non-inverted) conditions
• Red fill appears below the zero line during inversion
🧪 Sample Reading: 1W chart of TLT
OverUnder reveals a multi-year arc of structural inversion and regime transition. From mid-2021 through late 2023, the spread remains decisively inverted, signaling persistent flattening and credit stress as bond prices trended sharply lower. This prolonged inversion aligns with a high-volatility phase in TLT, marked by lower highs and an accelerating downtrend, confirming policy lag and macro tightening conditions.
As of early 2025, the spread has crossed back above the zero baseline into a “Normal / Steepening” regime (annotated at +0.56%), suggesting a macro inflection point. Price action remains subdued, but the shift in yield structure may foreshadow a change in trend context — particularly if follow-through in steepening persists.
🎭 Different Traders Respond Differently:
• Bond traders monitor slope change to anticipate policy pivots or recession signals.
• Equity traders use regime shifts to time rotations, from growth into defense, or from contraction into reflation.
• Currency traders interpret curve steepening as yield compression or divergence depending on region.
• Crypto traders treat inversion as a liquidity vacuum — and steepening as an early-phase risk unlock.
🛡️ Can It Compare Different Bond Markets?
Yes — with caveats. The indicator can be used to compare distinct sovereign yield instruments, for example:
• 🇫🇷FR10Y vs 🇩🇪DE10Y - France vs Germany
• 🇯🇵JP10Y vs 🇺🇸US10Y - BoJ vs Fed policy curves
However:
🙈 This no longer visualizes the domestic yield curve, but rather the differential between rate expectations across regions
🙉 The interpretation of “inversion” changes — it reflects spread compression across nations , not within a domestic yield structure
🙊 Color regimes should then be viewed as relative rate positioning , not absolute curve health
🙋🏻 Example: OverUnder compares French vs German 10Y yields
1. 🇫🇷 Change the long-duration ticker to FR10Y
2. 🇩🇪 Set the short-duration ticker to DE10Y
3. 🤔 Interpret the result as: “How much higher is France’s long-term borrowing cost vs Germany’s?”
You’ll see steepening when the spread rises (France decoupling), flattening when the spread compresses (convergence), and inversions when Germany yields rise above France’s — historically rare and meaningful.
🧐 Suggested Use
OverUnder is not a signal engine — it’s a context map. Its value comes from situating any trade idea within the prevailing yield regime. Use it before entries, not after them.
• On the 1W timeframe, OverUnder excels as a macro overlay. Yield regime shifts unfold over quarters, not days. Weekly structure smooths out rate volatility and reveals the true curvature of policy response and liquidity pressure. Use this view to orient your portfolio, define directional bias, or confirm long-duration trend turns in assets like TLT, SPX, or BTC.
• On the 1D timeframe, the indicator becomes tactically useful — especially when aligning breakout setups or trend continuations with steepening or flattening transitions. Daily views can also identify early-stage regime cracks that may not yet be visible on the weekly.
• Avoid sub-daily use unless you’re anchoring a thesis already built on higher timeframe structure. The yield curve is a macro construct — it doesn’t oscillate cleanly at intraday speeds. Shorter views may offer clarity during event-driven spikes (like FOMC reactions), but they do not replace weekly context.
Ultimately, OverUnder helps you decide: What kind of world am I trading in? Use it to confirm macro context, avoid fighting the curve, and lean into trades aligned with the broader pressure regime.
Stoch_RSI_ChartEnhanced Stochastic RSI Divergence Indicator with VWAP Filter for Charts
This custom indicator builds upon the classic Stochastic RSI to automatically detect both regular and hidden divergences. It’s designed to help traders spot potential market reversals or continuations using two methods for divergence detection (fractal‑ and pivot‑based) while offering optional VWAP filtering for confirmation.
Key Features
Stoch RSI Calculation
The indicator computes a smoothed Stoch RSI using configurable parameters for RSI length, stochastic length, and smoothing periods. An option to average the K and D lines provides a cleaner momentum view.
Divergence Detection via Fractals & Pivots
Fractal-Based Divergences:
Looks for 4-candle patterns to identify higher-highs or lower-lows in the price that are not confirmed by the oscillator, signaling potential reversals.
Pivot-Based Divergences:
Utilizes TradingView’s built-in pivot functions to find divergence conditions over adjustable pivot ranges.
Regular vs. Hidden Divergences:
Regular Divergence: Occurs when price makes a new extreme (higher high or lower low) while the Stoch RSI fails to follow suit.
Hidden Divergence: Indicates potential trend continuations when the oscillator diverges against the established price trend.
Optional VWAP Filtering
The script includes two optional VWAP filters that work as follows:
VWAP Filter on Regular Divergences:
Only confirms regular divergence signals if the current price satisfies the VWAP condition (e.g., price is above VWAP for bullish signals, below VWAP for bearish signals).
VWAP Filter on Hidden Divergences:
Similarly, hidden divergence signals are validated only when the price meets specific VWAP conditions, adding an extra layer of trend confirmation.
Customizable Alerts and Visual Labels
Easily configure divergence labels (“B” for bullish, “S” for bearish) and enable up to four alert conditions for real‑time notifications when a divergence occurs.

PumpC RSI NTZ BarsPumpC RSI NTZ Bars — Slope-Aware RSI Momentum Overlay
The PumpC RSI NTZ Bars indicator builds on the classic RSI by combining it with slope detection and custom bar highlighting, helping traders quickly identify strong momentum breakouts while avoiding sideways chop — the (NTZ) or No Trade Zone .
What is (NTZ)?
(NTZ) stands for No Trade Zone — the neutral RSI area between bullish and bearish thresholds. In this zone, RSI lacks directional strength, which often reflects indecision or consolidation in price. This indicator helps visually separate the chop from true momentum, so you can trade the breakout, not the noise .
Core Features
Dynamic RSI-Based Bar Coloring with Slope Awareness
Bars change color based on RSI value and its slope:
Bright Green: RSI ≥ Bullish Threshold and sloping upward
Teal Green: RSI ≥ Bullish Threshold but sloping downward
Bright Red: RSI ≤ Bearish Threshold and sloping downward
Orange: RSI ≤ Bearish Threshold but sloping upward
White: RSI is between thresholds (NTZ)
Slope Detection Logic
RSI slope is used to confirm directional bias and filter out weak or fading momentum.

How to Use It
Step 1 – Adjust Your RSI Settings:
Start by setting the RSI Length (default is 14) and choosing which price source to use — typically close , but you can experiment with hl2 , ohlc4 , etc.
You can also turn on smoothing if you want to reduce noise, especially on fast timeframes like the 1m or 5m chart.
Step 2 – Define Your No Trade Zone (NTZ):
The NTZ is the space between the bullish and bearish thresholds (default 60 and 40).
This is where momentum is weak and price is often ranging or chopping. You don’t want to trade in this zone — you're waiting for RSI to break out of it with conviction.
Step 3 – Choose Your Visual Style:
You can choose to: Highlight the entire candle (Full Bar)
Just highlight the outline (Border Only)
Add a background color behind the chart
Or use a combination of the above This makes the signal easy to see without changing your whole chart look.
Step 4 – Read the Colors for Quick Clarity:
Bright Green / Bright Red = Strong Momentum (with RSI slope confirmation)
Teal / Orange = Momentum is weakening — RSI value is above/below threshold but losing slope strength
White = RSI is in the No Trade Zone (NTZ) — not enough strength to trade
Use this color feedback to stay out during weak periods and act when the trend gains strength.
Step 5 – Use Alerts for Clean Signals:
Set alerts when RSI breaks out of the NTZ with slope confirmation .
These are high-quality signals you can use to trigger your setups or review potential entries.

RVOL Effort Matrix💪🏻 RVOL Effort Matrix is a tiered volume framework that translates crowd participation into structure-aware visual zones. Rather than simply flagging spikes, it measures each bar’s volume as a ratio of its historical average and assigns to that effort dynamic tiers, creating a real-time map of conviction , exhaustion , and imbalance —before price even confirms.
⚖️ At its core, the tool builds a histogram of relative volume (RVOL). When enabled, a second layer overlays directional effort by estimating buy vs sell volume using candle body logic. If the candle closes higher, green (buy) volume dominates. If it closes lower, red (sell) volume leads. These components are stacked proportionally and inset beneath a colored cap line—a small but powerful layer that maintains visibility of the true effort tier even when split bars are active. The cap matches the original zone color, preserving context at all times.
Coloration communicates rhythm, tempo, and potential turning points:
• 🔴 = structurally weak effort, i.e. failed moves, fake-outs or trend exhaustion
• 🟡 = neutral volume, as seen in consolidations or pullbacks
• 🟢 = genuine commitment, good for continuation, breakout filters, or early rotation signals
• 🟣 = explosive volume signaling either climax or institutional entry—beware!
Background shading (optional) mirrors these zones across the pane for structural scanning at a glance. Volume bars can be toggled between full-stack mode or clean column view. Every layer is modular—built for composability with tools like ZVOL or OBVX Conviction Bias.
🧐 Ideal Use-Cases:
• 🕰 HTF bias anchoring → LTF execution
• 🧭 Identifying when structure is being driven by real crowd pressure
• 🚫 Fading green/fuchsia bars that fail to break structure
• ✅ Riding green/fuchsia follow-through in directional moves
🍷 Recommended Pairings:
• ZVOL for statistically significant volume anomaly detection
• OBVX Conviction Bias ↔️ for directional confirmation of effort zones
• SUPeR TReND 2.718 for structure-congruent entry filtering
• ATR Turbulence Ribbon to distinguish expansion pressure from churn
🥁 RVOL Effort Matrix is all about seeing—how much pressure is behind a move, whether that pressure is sustainable, and whether the crowd is aligned with price. It's volume, but readable. It’s structure, but dynamic. It’s the difference between obeying noise and trading to the beat of the market.
OBVX Conviction Bias🧮 The OBVX Conviction Bias overlay tracks the flow of directional volume using the classic On-Balance Volume calculation, then filters it through a layered moving average system to expose crowd commitment , pressure transitions , and momentum fatigue . The tool applies two smoothed averages to the OBV line—a fast curve and a longer-term baseline scaled using Euler’s constant (2.718)—and visualizes their relationship using a color-coded crossover ribbon and pressure fills. When used correctly, it reveals whether a move is being supported by meaningful volume, or whether the crowd is starting to disengage.
🚦 The core signal compares OBV to its fast moving average. When OBV climbs above the short average, it fills green—suggesting real directional effort. When OBV sinks below, the fill turns maroon—flagging fading conviction or pullback potential. A second fill between the short and long OBV moving averages captures the broader trend of volume intention. If the short is above the long, this space fills greenish, showing constructive pressure. If it flips, the fill fades red, signaling crowd hesitation, rotation, or early exhaustion.
⚖️ All smoothing is user-selectable, defaulting to VWMA for effort-sensitive structure. The long-term average is auto-scaled using the natural exponential multiplier (2.718), offering rhythm that reflects the curve of participation. OBVX Conviction Bias isn’t trying to predict—it’s trying to show you where the crowd is leaning , and whether that lean is gaining traction or losing strength.
🧐 Ideal Use-Cases:
• Detect divergence between volume flow and price action
• Confirm breakout validity with volume alignment
• Fade breakouts where OBV fails to follow through
• Time pullback entries when OBV pressure resumes in trend direction
🍷 Recommended Pairings:
• ZVOL to measure whether volume is statistically significant or just noise (as shown)
• RVOL Effort Matrix to validate crowd effort by tier and structure zone
• SUPeR TReND 2.718 and/or MA Ribbons for directional confluence
• ATR Turbulence to track volatility-phase alignment with volume intention
Timed Reversion Markers (Custom Session Alerts)This script plots vertical histogram markers at specific intraday time points defined by the user. It is designed for traders who follow time-based reversion or breakout setups tied to predictable market behavior at key clock times, such as institutional opening moves, midday reversals, or end-of-day volatility.
Unlike traditional price-action indicators, this tool focuses purely on time-based triggers, a technique often used in time cycle analysis, market internals, and volume-timing strategies.
The indicator includes eight fully customizable time inputs, allowing users to mark any intraday minute with precision using a decimal hour format (for example, 9.55 for 9:55 AM). Each input is automatically converted into hour and minute format, and a visual histogram marker is plotted once per day at that exact time.
Example use cases:
Mark institutional session opens (e.g., 9:30, 10:00, 15:30)
Time-based mean reversion or volatility windows
Backtest recurring time-based reactions
Highlight algorithmic spike zones
The vertical plots serve as non-intrusive, high-contrast visual markers for scalping setups, session analysis, and decision-making checkpoints. All markers are displayed at the top of the chart without interfering with price candles.
Pivot Clouds [SS]Hey everyone,
Whopper indicator here that I have been working on for some time, excited to finally release it! So let's get into it!
☁️☁️ What are Pivot Clouds?! ☁️☁️
The concept for pivot clouds came from trailing and erroring different iterations of support and resistance (which ultimately led to the creation of the BIN Based Support and Resistance indicator).
In the design and creation of my BIN support and resistance indicator, I initially tried to do something similar with pivot points. However, I found pivots to be relatively ineffective as support and resistance, especially in very trendy markets, and the BIN approach reigned supreme. However, not wanting to abandon the utility of pivots, I tried something different, creating a pivot based SMA.
This proved most useful and very helpful for determining directions, rejections and trends! From there, came this indicator, the Pivot Clouds. This is currently iteration 32 haha, which will be the final iteration for the time being and most functional.
The pivot cloud indicator works by smoothing pivot highs and pivot lows over the course of your inputted length. My general suggestion is to keep it between 150 to 250. Going to low will make it incredibly choppy. Using 200 seems to be the sweet spot for most tickers.
Over the course of the pivot lookback, it collects all pivot highs and pivot lows, then averages them out to create 2 separate SMAs, those being an SMA for the pivot high and an SMA for the pivot low. Together, these create the cloud you see in the main chart.
In addition to creating this cloud, the indicator marks and tracks pivot maxes to both the upside and downside and will draw cloud support on a fall below the main cloud and cloud resistance on a rise above the main cloud, as exampled here:
Above:
And Below:
These clouds represent the average of the pivot high/pivot low and extend to the max or min (high or low depending on position on the main cloud).
💡 Alternative Abilities 💡
Resulting from the sometimes inadequacy of pivots to determine targets and resistance/support, the indicator is capable of pulling in ATR target prices. This allows the user to either use both, pivot max/min clouds AND ATR targets, or simply one or the other.
The ATR targets can be customized in the indicator settings, with a default of daily timeframe targets on a 14 ATR lookback.
Here are some examples of how the ATR targets look:
And to the upside:
📈 Standalone Strategy 📈
This indicator can be used as a standalone strategy, or to complement other strategies. I will go over both briefly, starting with standalone strategy:
Select your target preference (ATR, Pivot Maxes and Mins or both)
Long on a break and hold over the main cloud to the targets; or
Shrot on a break below the main cloud to the targets.
That simple!
🎯Supplemental to existing Strategy 🎯
This indicator for me is gold for my strategy, which involves longing or shorting to calculated target prices.
You essentially follow the above, only your targets are determined by your strategy. So for me, I look for a rejection or hold of the cloud, to long or short to my targets:
💰Customizing the Indicator 💰
Let's quickly go over these options:
Smooth length: Creates a smooth cloud. Suggested limits are 150 - 250
Lookback Length: This determines the length of lookback for the indicator to store historical pivot information and create the clouds.
Pivot Lookforward/backward: Allows the user to select custom pivot timeframes. The traditional rule is 10, but 5 sometimes is preferred on larger timeframes.
Show Pivot Max and Min: These enables the pivot max and min cloud for a crossover or crossunder of the main cloud.
ATR timeframe: determines the ATR target price levels to look for. You can toggle weekly, daily, hourly, whichever you prefer.
ATR Length: Allows you to customize the lookback for determining the ATR targets.
USE ATR targets: This will turn on / off the ATR targets, if you wish to use/not use these reference points with the indicator, same as with the pivot max and min cloud toggle.
And that's the indicator, folks!
Hope you like it,
Take care and safe trades!🚀
EMA 21 and SMA 50 Low ConditionsDescription:
This indicator highlights trend zones on a daily chart using the 21-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). It’s designed to identify bullish conditions with two distinct background colors:
• Green Background: Signals a strong bullish trend. Appears when the low of the candle stays above the 21 EMA for 3 or more consecutive days, with either the 3rd or 4th day closing higher than its open (an “up” day). The green zone persists until a candle closes below the 21 EMA.
• Yellow Background: Indicates a potential support zone. Triggers when the low of the candle remains above the 50 SMA after the green condition ends, suggesting the price is still holding above a longer-term average. The yellow zone lasts until a candle closes below the 50 SMA.
Features:
• Plots the 21 EMA (blue line) and 50 SMA (orange line) for visual reference.
• Uses background colors to mark trend zones, making it easy to spot bullish phases and support levels.
• Optimized for daily timeframes, ideal for swing traders or long-term trend followers.
How to Use:
1. Apply the indicator to a daily chart.
2. Watch for the green background to identify strong bullish momentum (lows holding above the 21 EMA with an up close confirmation).
3. Look for the yellow background as a sign of potential support after the short-term trend weakens (lows above the 50 SMA).
4. Exit zones are triggered by closes below the respective averages (21 EMA for green, 50 SMA for yellow).
Notes:
• Best used on symbols with sufficient historical data to ensure accurate EMA and SMA calculations.
• The indicator prioritizes the green condition over yellow—green will override if both could apply.
Author’s Intent:
Created to help traders visualize sustained bullish trends and key support levels using simple moving average rules. Perfect for confirming uptrends and monitoring pullbacks within a broader bullish context.
Prior LevelThe "Prior Level" indicator displays the previous day's key price levels (Open, High, Low, Close) directly on your chart. These reference levels are essential for intraday trading strategies, support/resistance analysis, and breakout identification.
Key features:
- Shows previous session's Open, High, Low and Close values
- Customizable line colors for better visual distinction
- Adjustable line length for cleaner chart appearance
- Optional data table showing exact values
- Simple and lightweight design for easy chart reading
This indicator helps traders identify important price zones from the previous trading session, allowing for more informed trading decisions based on how current price action interacts with these established levels.
