Ehlers Correlation Trend Indicator CTI by Cryptorhythms [CR]Ehlers Correlation Trend Indicator CTI by Cryptorhythms
📜Intro
In his article “Correlation As A Trend Indicator” in issue May 2020 of TASC, author John Ehlers introduces a new trend indicator that is based on the correlation between a security’s price history and the ideal trend: a straight line. He describes methods for using the indicator to not only identify the onset of new trends but to identify trend failures as well. He presents what looks like a simple and elegant idea for a trend-detection and mode-switching indicator.
📋Comments
Careful market selection may be the key to a correct application of the indicator. Even such barebone rules could shine with stocks like AAPL that tend to develop prolonged trends. But for others like CAT, which can keep oscillating in ranges for years, results will be much less impressive. They require a different approach. For example, you would want to buy when Correlation Trend falls significantly below zero and sell when it reaches positive values.
Therefore, it would be an interesting problem to research Correlation Trend’s ability to identify the switch to a cycle mode. That might help develop countertrend systems and
trade pullbacks. Another possible application might be to act as a system filter of change from trending mode to mean-reversion mode.

Combo Strategy 123 Reversal & Ease of Movement (EOM) This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal.
First strategy
This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The
Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies.
The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50.
The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50.
Second strategy
This indicator gauges the magnitude of price and volume movement.
The indicator returns both positive and negative values where a
positive value means the market has moved up from yesterday's value
and a negative value means the market has moved down. A large positive
or large negative value indicates a large move in price and/or lighter
volume. A small positive or small negative value indicates a small move
in price and/or heavier volume.
A positive or negative numeric value. A positive value means the market
has moved up from yesterday's value, whereas, a negative value means the
market has moved down.

Crypto Tipster Study / Alerts -theCrypster===========
Crypto Tipster Study with Alerts
===========
Our Crypto Tipster Study with Alerts Script is a carbon copy of our tried and tested Crypto Tipster Pro Strategy , but now with the option of setting TradingView Alerts for your chosen trading plan. Making missing trades a thing of the past, and helping you to automate your own trading strategy.
-----------
Crypto Tipster Pro is a trading strategy with indicators based on Technical Analysis, Price Action and Momentum Swings for TradingView's charting platform.
We've compiled and continue to update a trading strategy that adapts to changes in the market; with custom indicator settings, fixed SL/TP, Trailing Stop, Safe Mode, Heikin Ashi Confirmation and more!
Our efforts have been focused towards the 1D time frame - using a larger time frame benefits most part-time or evening traders in multiple ways, catching bigger swings and earning a higher percentage per trade, the ability to reduce or remove any leverage associated with the trade, and only having to place a trade or move a stop loss ONCE per day ~ Meaning you are still able to go to work, tidy the house, play with the kids AND be a successful trader.
-----------
What's Included within Crypto Tipster Pro?
Crypto Tipster Pro comes with a host of features and is being continually updated, these features include (but are not limited to):
- Date Range Settings
Setting custom Start/End dates can help hone your strategy to suit the current times, or get a general overview of the market over the years.
- Heikin Ashi Confirmation
We added HA confirmation for both Entry & Exit of trades. This started as a form of "Safe Mode", we have since adapted this mode beyond Heikin Ashi; but kept this confirmation as an added extra.
- Variable Indicator Settings
As well as our Fixed Indicators and Price Action analysis going on in the background of the strategy, we've also included some Variable Indicators that you have access to edit.
Trend Detection Length for detecting trend! Higher numbers detect longer trends, but will inevitably make fewer trades and possibly miss the start of a new trend; a lower length will create more opportunities to trade but may get confused when ranging in choppy markets.
Range Short/Long Lengths are used for detecting percentage price movements over a given number of bars back. This enables you to effectively "zoom in" on market data and catch trends within trends.
- Safe Mode
Enabling Safe Mode will add a couple more confirmation indicators to the strategy - the aim of Safe Mode is, in essence, to remove any trading signals that would end of being false/bad moves. Usually resulting in less Overall Trades, a higher Net Profit, higher % Profitable, higher Profit Factor AND a lower Drawdown.
- Stop Loss/Take Profit Settings
This is where Crypto Tipster Pro really proves itself, Money Management. We have an editable Fixed SL/TP, as well as Trailing Stops for Long or Short orders, all of which you can use on their own, or combined with each other. Playing with these settings can turn an un-profitable system into a very-profitable system!
- Custom Stop Loss Indicator
This is a little extra indicator that we have found very useful over the years of trading markets, a custom Stop Loss Indicator. Simply turn it on, enter the price you want to calculate from, tick Long or Short, enter a % movement and watch as your new stop loss level is plotted on the chart. This is especially useful for when the strategy doesn't marry up with the prices you've actually obtained (for better or for worse!)
-----------
What's Included within Crypto Tipster Study / Alerts Script?
Our Study script will find Entry and Exit points exactly as our Pro Strategy would find them. The same indicators, methods and chart reading techniques are used, there are 2 big differences however...
The first difference is that our Pro Strategy has the ability to manage your money, Fixed Stops, Take Profit and Trailing Stops to name just a few. Our Study does not (and cannot) have these functions added due to the way TradingView's charting platform operates.
That's the bad news, the good news for our Crypto Tipster Study Script is that you can add Alerts to your trading plan! This is super handy if you decide to implement our methods into various time frames other than 1D and are looking for Intra-day alerts, or if you're looking to Automate your trading strategy using external software.
Help and Advice for setting up Alerts or to Automate your Strategy can be found on our website.

Second strategy
In July 1996 Futures magazine, E. Marshall Wall introduces the
Dynamic Momentum Oscillator (Dynamo). Please refer to this article
for interpretation.
The Dynamo oscillator is a normalizing function which adjusts the
values of a standard oscillator for trendiness by taking the difference
between the value of the oscillator and a moving average of the oscillator
and then subtracting that value from the oscillator midpoint.

This Pivot points is calculated on the current day.
Pivot points simply took the high, low, and closing price from the previous period and
divided by 3 to find the pivot. From this pivot, traders would then base their
calculations for three support, and three resistance levels. The calculation for the most
basic flavor of pivot points, known as ‘floor-trader pivots’, along with their support and
resistance levels.

My VWAP Reversal + Pivot Points StandardThis indicator, with the addition of a standard VWAP indicator to the 5m chart, helps the operator when using a closing candle Price to initiate a VWAP Reversal strategy.
The strategy involves Price gapping up, look for a Close below the 1st 5m candle Low; else look for a Close above the 1st 5m candle High. On a break of VWAP, take the trade in the opposite direction of the gap, hence the VWAP Reversal. Not my own strat, credit to T3 Newsbeat, publicly posted on YouTube.

This indicator plots Dynamic Momentum Index indicator. The Dynamic Momentum
Index (DMI) was developed by Tushar Chande and Stanley Kroll. The indicator
is covered in detail in their book The New Technical Trader.
The DMI is identical to Welles Wilder`s Relative Strength Index except the
number of periods is variable rather than fixed. The variability of the time
periods used in the DMI is controlled by the recent volatility of prices.
The more volatile the prices, the more sensitive the DMI is to price changes.
In other words, the DMI will use more time periods during quiet markets, and
less during active markets. The maximum time periods the DMI can reach is 30
and the minimum is 3. This calculation method is similar to the Variable
Moving Average, also developed by Tushar Chande.
The advantage of using a variable length time period when calculating the RSI
is that it overcomes the negative effects of smoothing, which often obscure short-term moves.
The volatility index used in controlling the time periods in the DMI is based
on a calculation using a five period standard deviation and a ten period average
of the standard deviation.

Combo Strategy 123 Reversal & Donchian Channel WidthThis is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal.

Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies.
The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50.

Second strategy
The Donchian Channel was developed by Richard Donchian and it could be compared
to the Bollinger Bands. When it comes to volatility analysis, the Donchian Channel
Width was created in the same way as the Bollinger Bandwidth technical indicator was.
As was mentioned above the Donchian Channel Width is used in technical analysis to measure
volatility. Volatility is one of the most important parameters in technical analysis.
A price trend is not just about a price change. It is also about volume traded during this
price change and volatility of a this price change. When a technical analyst focuses his/her
attention solely on price analysis by ignoring volume and volatility, he/she only sees a part
of a complete picture only. This could lead to a situation when a trader may miss something and
lose money. Lets take a look at a simple example how volatility may help a trader:
Most of the price based technical indicators are lagging indicators.
When price moves on low volatility, it takes time for a price trend to change its direction and
it could be ok to have some lag in an indicator.
When price moves on high volatility, a price trend changes its direction faster and stronger.
An indicator's lag acceptable under low volatility could be financially suicidal now - Buy/Sell signals could be generated when it is already too late.
Another use of volatility - very popular one - it is to adapt a stop loss strategy to it:
Smaller stop-loss recommended in low volatility periods. If it is not done, a stop-loss could
be generated when it is too late.
Bigger stop-loss recommended in high volatility periods. If it is not done, a stop-loss could
be triggered too often and you may miss good trades.

Best Volatility Calculator (Multi Instruments)Hello traders
A bit of context
Definition: Volatility is defined as the close of current candle - close of the previous N candle
This is an alternative version of my Best Volatility Calculator
The other version is displayed on a panel below. This one overlays on the chart using the "overlay=true" setting
This indicator shows the average volatility, of last N Periods, for the selected time frames and for 2 selected instruments.
You can select up to 2 timeframes with this version
Presented as Currency, Pip, percentage labels in a panel below.
Will calculate in real-time only for the current instrument on the chart.
The indicator is coded to not be repainting
Example
In the indicator screenshot, I used a lookback period of 1.
That compares the current candle close versus the previous one for the daily and weekly timeframe
Showing how the results look like using FOREX instruments (where using the PIPS labels make more sense than with cryptocurrency assets)
Best regards
Dave

Price Action ChannelsHere are the brand new Price Action Channels.
As time passes and the portfolio grows not only in volume but in assets managed, I have found out that what's needed from technical analysis can't occupy so much time in decision making. Why? I hope you take into consideration other critical variables that affect the market, such as fundamentals, market sentiment, news, the world economy, and so on. Thus, I want to make obvious TA is not supposed to give you miracle formulas. In my investments, technicals count for about 33% of my decision formula.
Now about the indicator.
I'm a big fan of simplicity, and the fact is, everything is numbers and their universal rules.
So the approach we take is entirely following rules of statistics, taking into consideration the maximum amount of data to quantify and qualify moves(changes in price towards a single direction).
Once those moves are defined, we measure their average size, which is the average price range in one direction.
After that, we qualify them by using frequencies and figuring out how often each move happens, let's say:
Asset X, 10% of the times when it moves upwards it's +1%
Asset X, 14% of the times when it moves upwards it's +1,1%
Asset X, 21% of the times when it moves upwards it's +1.3%
Asset X, 25% of the times when it moves upwards it's +1.5%
Asset X, 15% of the times when it moves upwards it's +1.6%
Asset X, 10% of the times when it moves upwards it's +1,7%
Asset X, 5% of the times when it moves upwards it's +2%
With that data, we establish the size of the range and the most reasonable boundaries and thresholds.
This is meant for channels. We consider there are 3 market conditions: Channels(Trending), Sideways, Spikes(abnormal price changes).
So if you try to apply this indicator for huge movements, like news related pumps and such it won't work as it's supposed, since our approach here is to define what's "normal", and such spikes are anomalies.
Sideway assets are doable but not advisable.
We plot all the numbers in a panel, so it's easily readable while trading, and you can fully control where it appears on your screen.
The indicator counts with following features in the Panel:
Channel Sampling Size: Short-term, Mid-term, Long-term
Risk Exposure: Minimum, Low, Modest, Medium, Moderate, High, Maximum
Filtered Price Action
Trading Assist
X & Y Panel Position
Study Strong.
Adaptive Price Zone Strategy The adaptive price zone (APZ) is a volatility-based technical indicator that helps investors
identify possible market turning points, which can be especially useful in a sideways-moving
market. It was created by technical analyst Lee Leibfarth in the article “Identify the
Turning Point: Trading With An Adaptive Price Zone,” which appeared in the September 2006 issue
of the journal Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities.
This indicator attempts to signal significant price movements by using a set of bands based on
short-term, double-smoothed exponential moving averages that lag only slightly behind price changes.
It can help short-term investors and day traders profit in volatile markets by signaling price
reversal points, which can indicate potentially lucrative times to buy or sell. The APZ can be
implemented as part of an automated trading system and can be applied to the charts of all tradeable assets.
Green color is long.
Red color is short.

RocketScalper Long/Short IndicatorAbout the Rocketscalper Indicator
Was initially made by Rocket, PM, Hav0c, LiteralMonkey and PrimetimeBart.
It's our most used and advanced long/short indicator script so far, with over 450 users
Was first published in December 12, 2018.
It had 3 iterations, this is the 4th.
It has been continuously updated throughout the past year and as long as the market doesn't shift completely, it'll stay updated and giving good outputs.
It works by merging 3 oscillators and then checking the market balance between sells and buys to give you the final output.
Main notes about the 4th iteration:
RSI and Moving Averages back into the filtering conditions (for a while we removed it due to signal spam or trying to make a holy grail and i think we took steps back by doing that so they're back in)
Wavetrend settings closer to neutral
Loosened conditions on Godmode
Price Oscillator Changes
Added TakeProfit and StopLoss conditions editable for users
Turned the scalper more neutral with a slight long bias for the upcoming trend
Has several outputs on the chart that you can activate/deactivate
Long / Short Signals
Self Explanatory - It suggests you should long or short the asset.
Show Price Oscillator signals
It'll output long/short signals based on the Price Oscillator.
Show Stop/Support/Resistance warning
A warning label will pop-up when the trade is going against you. It's good to use as alerts, other than that, I wouldn't read much into it.
Plot Stop/Support/Resistance levels
It'll plot resistance and support horizontal lines in case you need guidance in your stops
Use background for Highlighting
It changes the background to red/green (or a color of your choosing) when its about to output a signal.
You also have, on the inputs tab, text inputs that you can edit such as:
Price Gain for Take Profit 1 and 2
Horizontal line (If you usually get at out at positive 50 points, put 50 in here and a line will plot once you get there) - Good for alerts.
Initial Stop Loss Percentage
Amount of $ Away from entry to Move SL After TP1
Trailing Stop Loss
Should I use it on all timeframes and all pairs?
You can, if you look at the historical outputs and they are good. However, I use it mostly on XBTUSD BTCUSDT ETHUSD XAUUSD and OILUS on LTF and HTF.
For altcoins, I would suggest only looking at 4h candlesticks and above.

Second strategy
The Detrend Price Osc indicator is similar to a moving average,
in that it filters out trends in prices to more easily identify
cycles. The indicator is an attempt to define cycles in a trend
by drawing a moving average as a horizontal straight line and
placing prices along the line according to their relation to a
moving average. It provides a means of identifying underlying
cycles not apparent when the moving average is viewed within a
price chart. Cycles of a longer duration than the Length (number
of bars used to calculate the Detrend Price Osc) are effectively
filtered or removed by the oscillator.

RSI channel ob/os breakout [ChuckBanger]This is a breakout signal script based on reverse engineering of RSI. It shows a channel of overbought and oversold readings that the trader can sett in settings. When low crosses under lower line it shows bullish signal and when high is crossing upper line it shows a bearish signal. The script also has wilder's moving average as filter instead of high/low.
Good luck traders!
TradewithPuneet: Pro-PatternsThe Pro-Patterns strategy is designed to trade classic chart patterns. At present, it identifies the Ascending Triangle patterns and Weekly Inside Bars patterns and takes Long or Short entries, as the case may be.
Ascending Triangle patterns:
- The strategy identifies ascending triangle patterns ranging from 40 to 120 days.
- BUY signals are generated on the breakout of the horizontal resistance line. No SHORT signal is generated on the breakdown of the rising trend line.
- The importance is given to higher lows, instead of attempting to make a perfectly straight rising trend line. Hence, the drawing of the rising trend line is skipped.
- The strategy gives BUY signals on continuation as well as reversal patterns.
- Users can choose exit rules either on the breakdown of a certain number of days or based on ATR.
- The Ascending triangle patterns can be seen on Daily timeframes only.
Weekly Inside Bars
- The strategy identifies inside bars on weekly charts with three candles. This means, that Weekly Inside Bars pattern is said to be formed when the current week's candle is inside the previous week and the previous week's candle is inside the week prior to it.
- A BUY or SHORT signal is generated next week on breakout or breakdown of high or low of third week’s candle.
- The importance is given to a decrease in volume on second & third weeks’ candles.
- The strategy gives BUY or SHORT signals on continuation as well as reversal patterns. However, users can choose to see trading signals on continuation patterns only.
- Users can choose exit rule on breakdown or breakout of a certain number of weeks in case of BUY & SHORT signals respectively.
- The Weekly Inside Bars patterns can be seen on Weekly timeframes only.
The strategy guides you the price level at which to BUY / SHORT and EXIT. It is intended for short to medium-term traders. It is important for the security to close beyond the trigger point for the signal to remain in force.

Jurik Moving Average Crossover Strategy [ChuckBanger]The classic moving average crossover strategy does not work well in markets that, instead of trending, tend to frequently reverse within a trading range. The lag between the actual time the market has reversed direction and when the moving average is signalling a trade, the trend is already over and the market is about to go against your position. In this environment, a more appropriate trading strategy is suggested here using an JMA Keltner Channel.
The idea is to create a channel based of support and resistance. When the market breaks out of the channel, and fails to maintain momentum. It is likely the price will fall back toward the center of the channel. This tendency can be exploited in the following manner.
In the chart above, The aqua and maroon (center line) and the blue lines are part of a channel. The middle line is a slow running JMA of the closing prices, with Length = 30 and phase = 0. The upper blue band is constructed by adding 1.5 times of 30-bar ATR (average true range) to the center JMA line and the lower blue band by deducting the same amount. There is a grey line running through the data- That is a fast running JMA with length = 5 and phase = 100 representing the price.
The red dots indicate that the the price is going back in the channel and the market is retracting from a failed upward breakout, and the green dots mark when price is retracting from a failed downward breakout. These are places where one might want to enter the trade. The orange dots indicate where price crosses the center line, a reasonable place to take profit from or even exit the trade.
The center line also shows the up or down movements if the setting is ticked. This feature is useful to use when exit a trade. For example, you enter a long position on a green dot signal and the color is maroon. You can wait for 3-5 candles (depending of markets). And if the color doesn’t change it can be an indication that the price is going lower. Here it is possible to switch to a short possible or the opposite apply if you enter on a red dot.
The parameter use in this study is for demonstrating purposes only. This is to show how you can use JMA. Do not trade with real money without thoroughly test the strategy. And always use stop-losses.
